There are only three possible scenarios that have delivered America to four more years of Obama. The first scenario is that half the country is diabolically stupid, and has been so dumbed down by public education and television, that they can no longer think for themselves. The second is that voters have simply lost their minds due to years and years of smoking dope and were simply HIGH when they voted for Obama, because only someone under drug induced euphoria could possibly think that Obama had done a good job. Or third, that David Icke has been correct all along stating emphatically a reptilian species of inter-dimension parasites are ruling our world from the confines of secrecy and dangle the world’s politicians from their finger tips. Such a thought was the topic of a recent episode of Conspiracy Theory with Jessie Ventura, on Tru TV.
I enjoy the work of David Icke as he is very knowledgeable and entertaining. I typically accept his theories as I would have any science fiction author—as a way to connect the dots with fantasy the things that don’t quite make sense in reality. Icke travels the world giving marathon lectures that are filled with massive amounts of information to support his arguments. One such example can be seen below, and should be watched in its entirety—because after witnessing the re-election of Barack Obama, many of the fantastic claims made by Icke make a lot more sense.
The goal all along has been to keep the populations of the world in a foolish state so that they are easy to rule, and the world will always be at war when intelligence is attacked, and foolishness is praised. Whenever such conditions exist, Washington will be full of politicians like the looter Obama supported by an army of pot smoking losers intent to be effortlessly ruled by a hidden army of lizard people obsessed with ruling Earth as just one planet in a universal empire. It’s the most plausible theory available to explain how America could have possibly elected such a terrible President in Obama to a second term. Nothing else seems conceivable. Surely there aren’t that many stupid people?
To win the fight that we are all currently in, the proper targets must be properly identified, and dealt with. In this case, the evidence points to an aspect of conspiracy that I didn’t want to believe. But there is no other conclusion as to what happened in the election of 2012. The foreign investment in America has spoken against the wishes of United States sovereignty. In the case of Romney versus Obama, Romney was most prone to strengthening the American currency, which goes against the plan of global planners, who were very much invested in the American election.
So to learn who these people are and how they are all connected; watch this video by Jim Marrs speaking about this topic in Australia. I personally like Jim, so much so that he is currently reading my book Tail of the Dragon for a cover blurb satisfying a portion of my 2013 marketing plan. I’ve read many of his books and in several cases did not want to believe what he was reporting, as he has a reputation as a conspiracy theorists. His newest book is a New York Times Bestseller called The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy. He’s a great journalist, public speaker, and a damn good researcher and the burden to disprove his theories falls on his critics. It is evident to me that much of what he says in the video below is the cause of the election that went against American value, and more toward the collapse of American currency purely for the profit of the puppet masters who have their hands in most of our lives.
To be free as we desire in America, we will have to cut our strings to these influences, which reside behind the façade of President of The United States, and must admit to ourselves that the system is broken beyond repair, and must be replaced with a return to Constitutional principles. There is no compromise with people, who are willing to kill to see their intended results, and those are the kinds of people we are dealing with at the highest level, and they must be the new focus of any liberty movement that is to survive.
I have presented here on this site virtually anything anybody could want to know about just about anything. I have over 900 articles most of them 2000 words or more and those won’t be going away, but I am going to give myself a break from my daily articles so that I can work on a new strategy that must be implemented in reaction to the news of November 6, 2012. I have thought hard about the situation and as I do think some of the factual articles here are helpful to intelligent people. But the message is not getting through to everyone else.
To see these articles on whatever topics are desired, just Google—Overmanwarrior—(then your topic) and you will find information from this site to match your question.
However, I am more convinced than ever that my roots with mythology hold the key to unlocking the perplexities that confound so many people, and I need to put my 2000 words a day into those projects. Writing 900 more articles about the same things I have for the last three years won’t accomplish anything as I am at a diminishing marginal return on that effort. Instead, that effort needs to apply to a more robust stage where more people can be exposed to it. No matter how good the quality, or content of these articles are, the social title of a “blogger” does not do the trick and get the information to the places it needs to go. So I will be spending my time on that effort for a while.
I will still post articles here, but not in the quantity that I have been. The strategy that we have all been working to needs to be adjusted and that will be my new focus.
It is along these lines, but with bullwhips, and American ideas.
In the meantime, as I work on this new project, I have decided that there is no longer a peaceful resolution to these times, since the election system no longer works, as it has been purposely overloaded with lethargic foreign interest with open boarders and the diabolical moral bankruptcy of our American youth along with the bloc voting groups organized carefully by these same mass public looters. I have offered the arguments with peace and they are here for all to use. For now on, if government attempts to take more away from me, I will take two times more back from them to cover my costs. And if they come looking for a fight, they will get more than they can handle.
To my friends, should they deem a use for my services in defense of themselves from the violence of government………..give me a call. These are the thoughts of the days following the travesty of the Election of 2012. Glenn Beck is a lot nicer than I am, so he is worth listening to. I like his approach. But it’s not the one I will be taking. I will resort to what I know best.
Voter Fraud is a Federal Crime; enforcement and prosecution of Voter Fraud has been tasked to the FBI and the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. For many weeks the national news media has been reporting, that in support of the Obama Campaigns in Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Virginia, Wisconsin, Iowa, California, and every battleground state, the most massive and well organized Voter Fraud campaign is being perpetrated by the AFL-CIO Union, SEIU, the Socialist New Party, and the 1200 ACORN organizations in 50 states getting non-citizens to vote (the ACORN name was changed in 2011, because ACORN workers in many states were convicted of Voter Fraud following the 2010 election). If you witness Voter Fraud or intimidation at the polls (like the Black Panthers with Billy clubs at the polls who were intimidating voters in the 2010 election), we encourage you to call your local FBI Office, and the Voting Section, in the Civil Rights Division of the US Department of Justice; the Voting Section can be reached at (800) 253-3931.
The advertisement in the first attachment is from 350 Flag and General Officers who recently announced their support for Gov Mitt Romney; it was not paid for by any Political Action Committee or by any political organization, it was paid for by the 350 Flag and General Officers listed. The second attachment is from 150 Heroic Vietnam POWs who also announced their support for Gov Mitt Romney. Both groups are very concerned about Obama’s, plan that are well underway, to strip the US Military budget of $1 trillion (he has already stripped $480 billion from the DOD Budget with the complicity of Secretary Panetta), and his “actions” are being executed in stealth so the American people won’t know how drastically he is downgrading the muscle and the Combat Effectiveness of the most effective military organization in history.
Kindly click on the below listed link to view a video; we especially support which includes President Ronald Reagan’s comments about our precious freedom.
November 6, 2012 is the date of the most important election in the 237 year history of the Republic; please do your duty and vote to reject Obama’s Socialist agenda!! We encourage you to forward this E-mail to everyone who supports the Combat Veterans For Congress’ efforts to protect and defend the US Constitution and prserve the Bill of Rights. Please vote!!
Now that we know Obama will be the President I would expect that Congress will move for proceedings to fully investigate the Benghazi situation and Fast and Furious. If criminal misconduct is discovered, then impeachment proceedings need to be implemented. It is time to stop playing patty cake with the Executive Branch, especially now that it is known Obama will be in office for four more years. That is plenty of time to prosecute him in for the crimes Obama has committed against the vast multitude of the Red States which make up the heart of America.
Let me explain what happened on November 6th, 2012 to all my Republican friends. You are not respected by the media or progressives because you do not go for the jugular when you get the opportunity. The progressives are radical and do not function from a morality that conservatives understand. Obama has wreaked the American economy, been in the middle of multiple scandals and shown that he is a completely incompetent manager. Yet he was voted to re-election in spite of many, many hours of talk radio, television news picking apart his presidency, and countless books and movies being made about his detriment to American life. This happened because Republicans play nice—they play fair, and they assume the game both sides are playing is an honorable one
We are not all playing the same game by the same rules, and when there is a chance to destroy your enemy, you do it. And it is the job of Congress to protect the people from the crimes of progressive politicians.
I can say that Obama is not my president. He is the president of the socialists who live on the East Coast, in high density population centers, and on the West Coast where a constant barrage of immigration coming from socialist countries abroad see American socialism as freedom relative to where they came from. But in the heart of the country, Obama does not represent my values, or the values of my neighbors. So it is time to stop playing nice and go after these parasites to American livelihood before their progressive politics destroy all of our lives which clearly appears to be the intent.
We are 16 trillion dollars in debt and we just re-elected the fool who created that dangerous situation. Where is the justice? Where is the courage? Where is the honor in a system of government who can lie to the American people over multiple issues, and win the privilege to hide those crimes behind executive orders?
We are not one nation, and the enemy is allowed to advance because conservatives do not have the courage, or temper to put them in their place as the encroachments progress. In this last election, it was the aggressive Chris Christie who put his arm around Obama over Hurricane Sandy and it improved Obama’s image just enough to make Obama appear just good enough to look presidential and helpful. That is what happens when conservatives compromise, when they put their arm around a snake and hope that their kindness will keep them from getting bit. Romney didn’t push Benghazi in the debates, letting Obama off the hook and Chris Christie pandered to the President to get the relief money for his state. That is where the election was lost. Both conservative men believe they were being “fair” to Obama by not rubbing salt in a wounded president. Meanwhile Obama was calling for “REVENGE” on the campaign trail when Romney called for “Love.” Do you see now which one wins? Evil presides when good men do nothing, or when good men try to appease evil with kindness.
Obama’s Administration is responsible for many bad things, and it is the job of congress to go after them aggressively instead of letting them play kindness as a weapon to create stalemates which progressives will then take advantage of anyway with blame for economic stagnation such as the upcoming tax increase debates and the debt ceiling. They will play every dirty trick to make conservatives look bad, because they do not worry about the same treatment coming back in their direction. And this election is the statement that their method works over the strategy of conservatives. Now, because of the lack of aggression, America will be forced to submit to Obama Care, and countless other encroachments that the Red States will have to suffer from because conservatives did not have the aggression, or the courage to take away the heart of the progressives when they had a chance. Instead, they let them get up off the mat to become dangerous once again.
So listen to what I’m saying……………….John Boehner, that means you. If you do not act now, and I mean right now while there is still a Republican majority in the House, our nation will be lost forever, and progressive socialism will destroy our country. If you play nice, if you compromise with them, if you play golf with them, if you seek their approval in any way possible, you will lose in the end because they will not stop till all barriers to their destructive desires are fulfilled, and now that Obama has the White House for four more years, Congress is the only protection left to the American people who live in the Red States—in the core of the country, from the European socialists who live on the coast.
We are not one nation any longer and Obama is not my president. He is a thief, a provocateur, and a con man—and I want nothing to do with him or his thuggish strategies. I trusted the voting system and the American people to remove such a threat through a free and open election, and the system failed. That does not mean we all go peacefully into the night and shrug our shoulders and declare that we’ll all do better next time. The time to act is now, and that action must be swift, and decisive, and done with the knowledge that half the nation will be angry about it. But so what……….because the Red States are not happy to have Obama Care rammed down their throats, and four more years of a looting president who is ruining our country with debt and mismanagement. Concession will not bring peace, or popularity. Instead, it will ensure that we obtain neither.
Remember, remember, the actions in Benghazi, and bring justice where it belongs before that too is swept under the rug by soulless progressives and the schemes of destruction.
To the small-minded progressive types, the Koch Brothers are the ultimate evil in that they–along with Rupert Murdoch support conservative causes, which are at odds with leftist diabolical schemes. Progressives often do not connect the influence of billionaires like George Soros with the funding of their causes, because they don’t understand how the dots connect. This leaves them victims in the schemes of billionaire battles between people like the Koch Brothers and George Soros who disagree with how to move planet Earth into the future. Soros wishes socialism, the Koch Brothers wish for capitalism. The people of the world have to decide where they fall on that battlefield of ideas but it is apocalyptically foolish to assume as the puppeteer in the below video does that it is the evil Koch Brothers who want to end the world as we all know it.
The world for progressives should end, because I believe as the Koch Brothers believe that capitalism should be the ruling economic force in America in the purist form possible. That means an end to the progressive platform, so the puppet chick has good reason to fear that the changes she wishes to see happen will be reversed, because I don’t want to stand shoulder to shoulder with people like her. I don’t want to hold hands with her. I don’t even want to breathe the same air as she does. I don’t want to hear her ideas. I don’t want anything to do with her view at looking at the world and if that makes me a big mean guy, then so be it. I’ve been called worse.
But you know what; I have my opinion completely free of the Koch Brothers or any money given from the Republican Party. In fact, I’ve never taken money from any conservative groups like the Koch Brothers or otherwise, yet I have my own conservative opinions that I advocate completely on my own. This runs counter to how progressives think—most of whom can be bought for cheap prices and used ideologically to advocate that the sky is pink, and the leaves on the trees are blue just because some progressive leader said so. Naturally, these idiots believe that everyone in the world is just as easily mislead as they are, and their platform is built to protect themselves from their own stupidity—and they fully expect the rest of the world to come down to their level. That’s why to them anybody who has a mind and can think for themselves are greedy, mean people.
I have presented over the last couple of years multiple scenarios to show how destructive and parasitic progressives are. I have shown with great detail how the power vacancy they leave in their wake can usher in radical forms of socialism and radical Islamic elements fully intent to take America over with their corrupt ideologies, and are a million times more dangerous to our lives than the money the Koch Brothers give to political candidates. In the video below is just one small example of how Muslim extremists intent on a world-wide caliphate have sought to destroy America from within. This is certainly not science fiction, but fact. Listen carefully.
Yet Muslims are not the only ones looking to overthrow America, communists are still at their radical behavior hiding their global intentions behind progressive politics, and they are probably more active in our public affairs than the Muslims have been. They are just better at hiding their radicalism since the back lash they faced in the late sixties. Fools like the puppet girl above who are angry at the conservative movement financed by people like the Koch Brothers have paved the way for letting the aggressive factions of radicalism all over the world set their sights on America as a playground for possible destruction. History now has facts, and progressives are dangerous to America because they are too stupid to defend themselves intellectually, and physically, and are attracted to ultra aggressive political movements to hide behind. So self-made men and women are scary to them, so scary that progressives shutter in their shoes at the mere thought that someone like me, or the Koch Brothers, or Governor Kasich will tell them to pull their own weight and shut the hell up. Instead they lobby for more collectivism, which invites outside infiltration into our country to wipe from the face of the Earth the only free country that there ever was, or ever will be.
I am currently reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstroy. I bought it because I wanted to read about the society of Russia before it was destroyed by communism in 1917. Like an archaeologist I want to see what Russia was like in the middle 1800’s from a book that was published right after the Civil War here in America. I am curious to how such an opulent society could have been ravaged blank in just a few short years, because it is obvious that there are global factions that want to do the same thing to America, and we are currently not very far from it. If not for the money that the Koch Brothers and others have spent to preserve conservativism in America, it may well have been swept away ushering in the destruction of everything we know and cherish. Ayn Rand’s book We The Living made me interested in War and Peace because I want to stop such movements from happening in America.
The puppet girl above is a wonderful metaphor for progressive politics. She like her puppet are simply caricatures for people like George Soros and other wealthy philanthropists who have lost touch with reality, and feel guilty that they made so much money off the capitalist system. They turn to socialism not because it is the wisest political philosophy, but the one that will preserve their own legacies by cutting the legs out from their potential competition. Unlike Soros, billionaires like the Koch Brothers aren’t cowards afraid that if they preserve capitalism that future wealthy people might challenge their supremacy. Unknown to many progressive fools it is such an elementary notion that drive these political movements to the antics of sock puppets to make their final argument. And in such notions reside the intelligence of their entire position.
The video below shows the typical kind people who are the foot soldiers of the political left. Until recently, within the last couple of years, conservatives did not have an answer to punks like this progressive fool. For over twenty years we have allowed idiots like this to go unanswered in the public debates over education, religion, economics, foreign policy, and virtually every aspect of American life. These diabolical malcontents have spread government with their whiny, shrill voices imposing upon tax payer’s burdens that are inexcusable. Saps like this cry-baby are the typical Obama supporters, and on November 7th, they will return to the public debate with the same strident progressive arguments, and this time, they must be crushed for the sake of our nation.
I am done with sitting quietly while these kinds of people run amok in our country and expect the rest of us to care for their pampered asses. It is disgraceful that they were ever given a platform to speak from to begin with, but that they do, speaks volumes to the content of character of the media that gives them a voice. The same toleration toward extremism is not given for conservatives and their criticisms of these types using similar dialogue. But the other way around, these lack-luster minds are given a free pass to attack at will anyone who does not agree with their infantile view of the world.
When you vote for president think of this idiot—and think of the same types of poor quality individuals who sit in the education profession and attempt to teach our children the same kind of radicalism—if you vote for these kinds of people, you will get more of them. If you even listen to them, you are endorsing their view of the world with your lack of participation. Obama and his party of deplorable idiots backed by star-studded blank pages waiting for a writer to fill their heads with a script are ideologically just like the boy in that video advocating the same kind of radical vision for America that will surely take our nation to the brink of destruction which is what they want.
If you want to punch back at these kinds of snot nosed imbeciles, then VOTE on Tuesday and vote with conviction! This is not just an election, this is a war! And the casualties will either be you or them, because they are not like us. They don’t think like we do, they don’t want the same things that we do, and they don’t want to work with us. They simply wish to impose upon the American their will to power, their birth of destructive progressivism that is a parasite to every society in the mind of mankind. And they will continue to attempt to impose themselves on you until you defend yourself by voting them out of your life.
Forget the emotional pleas. If you are an emotional person, lock yourself in a room and give the key to a loved one to protect the ballots from your reckless behavior. If you are an overly emotional person, do your nation a favor, and stay home on Election Day, because you are incapable of reasonable thinking. For elections in America to work correctly, the people need to be reasonably intelligent, and able to think beyond the emotion of their own meager wants, or needs. They have to be able to see the “big picture” to some extent, and if they have undeveloped minds that are overly emotional, they aren’t able to vote properly. Those are the kinds of souls that are most vulnerable to these types of parasites of youthful manipulation.
A President of The United States should not be put into power by panicky soccer moms who look to big brother government to protect them from their irrational fears, or illegal immigrants who don’t want to be deported. Or race demographics who don’t want to lose their welfare support. And the worst demographic are young people who are so immature these days it would appear that the age of 18 is too early to vote. If they vote for Obama because the sleazy salesman smiles at them and has knowledge of the kind of music they listen to, then they should not be able to vote him for President of the United States. If that is the only reason the youth want to vote for Obama, then they should stay home until they are mature enough to think reasonably and deductively with intelligence at the election possibilities placed before them. If they are too immature to vote for a politician other than the reasons of the stupid kid in that video, then they aren’t mature enough to vote, and should stay home until they turn 30 or maybe even 40, and start having kids of their own and learn what life is really like.
Voting is a right, and it’s an honor. But it is not to be handled carelessly by people who can’t use logic to come to a decision. Without intelligence, the politician running for office can simply pander to the emotional whims of the voters, and become elected without having to do anything. Thus, you get the kind of president that Obama has been. In fact, that’s how school levies get passed for no reason, that’s how thousands of comb-over, lying cheating, politicians get away with many crimes, because the electorate is simply too stupid to vote correctly and weigh out the hard questions.
I put a lot of effort into voting, and idiots like the fool above have an equal say with my vote in our Republic. So I can read, and do all the work that is necessary to vote properly, but it only takes two monstrosities who vote like the kid in that video to cancel out my vote, encouraging politicians to ignore thinkers and to pander to punks who are functional idiots. With that in mind, there is no hope for our country if we let radical progressive yak like a flock of dirty farmyard hens’ incessantly without putting them in their place. And for now on, we need to call them on their illustriously destructive world vision.
When you vote, think of that kid and look around you at all the kids that are just like him, bred by a media machine that is mass producing them in our education and entertainment system like bricks in Pink Floyd’s Wall. It will continue if it is allowed to persist unchecked. And if you vote for scum bag politicians, you will have a hand in making more of them just by picking the pandering politicians over the one arrived at with great thought. And Obama will only be one miscreant in an ocean of corruption that is made that way due to the poor voter quality index. A bad vote cancels out a good one, and people like that kid are used by progressives to advance idiocy so that society has more fools voting than those of thought, so that the system will support politicians like Obama and his minions of radicals who wish to destroy all of us for their sacrificial yearnings and half-baked ideologies.
So vote wisely, and when it comes to the day after, be mindful of these reckless foot soldiers of mindless progressivism. When they stick their neck out, snap them off like weeds in the garden of America so that the truly good can grow unhindered by political parasites and diabolical schemes.
The endorsement by The Cincinnati Enquirer of ultra liberal progressive goof-ball Senator Sherrod Brown says a lot about why The Enquirer has been losing readership by wheel barrel loads over the last couple of years. They have an interesting problem; they are a leftist media group trying to produce a product to a very conservative city. I mean they know their market, and they have decided to consciously go against their readership, and now they have really hurt themselves by coming out publicly for politicians like Brown. Over the last year The Enquirer has made a conscious decision to prop up progressive causes even more, where in the past they at least attempted to mask their intentions. As time has gone on, The Enquirer has struggled to maintain their readership because they have offered a product that leans more and more to the left in the ultra conservative city of Cincinnati.
In the chess game of politics, it is important to know the rules, and as Election Day nears, or future election days come about, it is imperative to use the entire chess board to defeat your potential school levies or whatever issue you might be fighting. I know some reading this might be tempted not to talk to Michael Clark at The Enquirer or some other reporter because they represent a product that is of the opposite political affiliation, or because you have seen the ordeal I have had with them, and the belief is that if Clark and others are shut out of the Anti-Levy movement then he will suffer and maybe even lose his job out of revenge for what he did to me. But let me report dear reader that the fate of The Enquirer cannot be changed, they have done it to themselves, and Michael Clark cannot be saved either. He is on a sinking ship, and he knows it. But while the ship still floats if the reporters of The Enquirer come calling for interviews over the respective issues around the city, then don’t hesitate to give them interviews and feed them the information you want to get out. Use them to your advantage, because they will certainly use you to theirs.
I suppose this situation comes with a back-story that should be explained at this time. By now, everyone knows that I had a famous melt-down with The Cincinnati Enquirer that was rather epic, and I have said that it was by design, and in many ways I was playing the chess game that anybody who hopes to win such games must play to achieve any victory. And if you are on the front of a movement, then you have to understand what kind of game we are all playing, so you cannot be mistaken into thinking that Michael Clark of The liberal Enquirer is your friend. He’s not, and he never will be. Such people must be handled as though they are two-headed snakes and just because one head is in your hand, you must still guard against the other.
I allowed Michael Clark to make me the “brand” of the No Lakota Levy on purpose, because it served my needs. Every time a product is driven, there must be a “brand,” that people associate with the product. In this case the product is “saying no to tax increases.” My rival over this matter has a brand of their own, so it must be countered. Their “brand” is “children.” That is why most of their promotional material feature children receiving the benefit of their services in some way, because that is how they establish product recognition. So to fight the school levy, I needed a brand of my own, because to win such things and get the message out, you need more than charts, arguments, and yard signs—you must have a brand. People often wonder why I allowed myself to be photographed by The Enquirer with my whips and hat to fight the Lakota Levy—it was because I had to establish a brand for the No Lakota Levy in order for things to take off the way I wanted them to.
This of course carried over into other media markets because it is personal branding that gives them the hook for their stories. Without the branding, there isn’t a way to market the idea to the public; the reporters don’t know how to frame the argument. So banding is very important because it provides the backdrop of the story when a reporter writes. In the case of the levy fighting efforts at Lakota, I took an aspect of myself that was unique and used that for the branding of the levy fight. This worked well until The Enquirer hit the year of 2012 and had to restructure their paper and move around some full-time reporting positions. I knew there was trouble when Michael Clark at the beginning of February 2012 wanted to treat me to lunch to discuss the future of the things, especially the Lakota Levy problems. Clark has family that is involved in public education, and he makes his living reporting on public education, and in his stories I was his villain, and the villain kept winning—giving him a problem. So he wanted to discuss it over lunch.
That is when I knew I had to change the brand because the education professionals and media people where struggling to prop up public education as a heroic endeavor, because I had successfully and rightly—branded them as the villains, turning the tables on their original strategy. I simply used the radical labor position arguments against them, for which they could not defend, because they were up to no good. So the trick with branding is it works great as long as you adapt it to the changing circumstances. In my case my friends in the No Lakota Levy movement were getting tired of the levy fights. Lakota was setting up for another run, a fourth attempt in three years, and we were all getting fairly pissed off because the management didn’t listen to what we told them. They were told to their faces, in The Enquirer, on 700 WLW, on TV, through the brand we had created in No Lakota Levy using my face that we expected management to present to the teachers union a 5% reduction in pay and benefits, which they refused to do. So strategically, this forced a change in the branding from my position, and a change in alliances.
My friends had wanted to merge with an established community group that would help pay the sports fees for some of the neediest students, which was a good idea, but it danced around the whole problem of why the sports fees were cut to begin with. I went along with it knowing that the proposal would cut into the Lakota School System’s branding in a dangerous way, and may actually destroy their public relations efforts up to that point. This effort was needed because the management at Lakota refused to present the 5% reduction to the labor union so more drastic measures were needed in the levy fight. I arranged with Michael Clark to have a story done about our new announcement of giving $10,000 to some of the students so it would help cover their sports fees at the school which were cut as an extortion tool in favor of the labor union. Once word got out what we were doing, the community group bailed on our effort to join with them and some of the most radical levy supporters gathered outside of a Kroger store to smear my name, just as the members of the community group had been doing—because our strategy cut into their branding, and it really made them mad.
So I knew a fight was coming either now or in the near future and one of the first rules of any combat is to strike first and fight from the high ground. Beat them to the punch. Be the first to strike, and most of the time, you will be the victor. This is true even if it’s a fight in a parking lot one on one, or with an entire labor union that has a state organization at its back. The rules are the same. So I volunteered to become the country coordinator for making Ohio a Right-to-Work state, collecting signatures for that ballot initiative, even though many of my friends advised me against it since Kasich wanted no part in such a thing in a year when Ohio had to vote Obama out of The White House. I did it anyway because it was the right thing to do in Ohio, even though it might further tick off the labor unions—which is what I wanted to do anyway as part of the branding strategy. We also as a group at No Lakota Levy started our own community group and upon the announcement of our endeavor I called a press conference that entailed the presentation of a $10,000 check to members of the Lakota athletic department.
When The Enquirer was present along with members of Channel 19 and Channel 5 Lakota had no representative to receive the check because they couldn’t. They knew that in so doing, they would destroy their own branding model of using the children of the school as an extortion tool. We were effectively taking that tool away.
The story appeared all over the city of Cincinnati. It fit into the progressive position of The Enquirer, the altruistic pursuit of community sacrifice, so they predictably ran with it. Clark made it an exclusive story, so it had great curb appeal, which served his needs as a reporter. The danger for everyone involved was that I had changed the branding from a lone cowboy running around Lakota opposing school levies with a bullwhip to a person with an organization at his back that could conger up $10,000 dollars to pay for sports fees. This level of branding was something the school could not deal with, so they worked with The Enquirer for their own assassination story against me to break up the merger that I had formed with the people who provided the money. I had given them on purpose the tools I desired to defend against, since I already had a plan two defend one or both of the issues, one was a blog posting I did about the PTA moms–community personalities who played politics with the situation smearing my name, and the other was my participation in the Right-to-Work effort for Ohio. Of course they took the bait and ran with it as Clark went over the top with the whole ordeal because his short-term gain would solidify his position at The Enquirer during a time when they were doing major restructuring as a company.
It was painful but worth it. After three levy attempts I knew that I couldn’t personally continue to be the face of the No Lakota Levy effort. My branding had worn out, and a new approach would be needed for the fourth, fifth, and sixth efforts, one that had more horsepower behind it, and the best way to kick-start such an effort was to get everybody off their ass with a provocation. As the months went on after that event over 100,000 people visited my Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom site to read my articles on education reform, sex scandals at Lakota, bullying cover-ups, and the raw numbers of how the management was in bed with the labor union in a grotesque way, and how they were using our children as the tool for performing the task. My hope was that if I couldn’t be the face of the anti-levy effort anymore, because the branding needed to be changed—and updated, then I could do something extraordinary to teach other people to participate in the fight instead of it just being about me personally. The Enquirer article that Clark had written about me as a favor to Julie Shaffer–one of the school board members at Lakota was so astonishing that it gave me more readers than all my radio interviews on WLW combined over a two-year period. And most of those people sent kind words of encouragement, admiring that I had stated publicly what many of them had already thought. It was great advertising and really helped take my branding to a public that was quietly angry and looking for a battle cry to get their hearts racing. That battle cry will always be from now on, “Latte sipping prostitutes with asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match,” and I will use it till the next necessity for re branding becomes necessary So the new branding had worked, and it looks as though going into the future that more people are going to be willing to put their name out there and fight these levies, which makes me very, very happy.
So when the news comes calling around election time, don’t refuse them just because you might be angry for what they did, or tried to do to me dear reader. In a game of strategy, nothing happens by chance, and by my own measurement, I knew that my check-mates would cause a stir, which was needed. But there was a purpose behind the madness and I wanted to tell this little story so that people could learn how to fight these types of people using their own tools against them. I watched what was done to Arnie Engle over in Fairfield over the years and I have wanted to help him desperately. He was doing a lot of this levy fighting well before I did, and he has been painted as a radical child hater by all members of the media guided by the union apologists for years now. He has run for school board and fought many campaigns as radicals have attacked his home and threatened him in many ways for nearly a decade, and it became clear to me that if I allowed the media to process me the way that they had Arnie, then I would eventually fall behind in the fight.
During all this activity in early February I sat down with Arnie and listened to his stories. We had a couple of beers together as he explained the cameras that canvas his property collecting data from the vandals who have attacked his home continuously. A short time ago Arnie found himself baited by one of the school levy radicals which led to a conflict in front of Arnie’s house. You can read about that occurrence here:
Arnie is a passionate guy, and he’s right. The trouble that I concluded about him is that most of Fairfield agreed with him about the taxes, and the position the management took in defense of the labor unions, but Arnie held onto his brand too long without changing it. He tried to do all the work himself–he even tried to become a school board member to help the situation from within and he was attacked, attacked and attacked again each more ruthlessly, for standing in the way of what the union wanted. The situation was so bad that in August of 2011 there was a FBI investigation over the school board itself that was quickly forgotten by the time the election came around in November, partly because of the article above.
The Enquirer from 2005 to 2010 used Arnie much in the way they used me. And Arnie used them much the same way that I used them to get the word out. It’s part of the business of branding, and selling ideas through the media. But at a certain point, the brand becomes too big for the issue and even distracting—to the point that it can implode on itself by the sheer weight, and the cycle time appears to be about 3 years at the level that Arnie and I had endured before diminishing marginal returns become self-evident. As I drank beer with Arnie and watched his monitors scanning his yard for attackers I thought of Clark, The Enquirer, Lakota, WLW, the State of Ohio, John Kasich and his Right-to-Work opposition, my own friends who didn’t want to touch the issue so that Obama wouldn’t win Ohio on the back of the union vote, and I thought of my No Lakota Levy friends who wanted to work with a community charity group to repair their own public images after three contentious levy fights where the school board refused to listen to the will of the voters. Yes, war has many casualties, and if you are the brand, it will be especially hard on you dear reader. That is when it is best to strike first, and hit on your terms, and hit them so hard that they can’t get back up again. Punch them so hard that their teeth come out of the back of their head……….metaphorically speaking of course. And while doing it, have a plan to re-brand your product every couple of years or so–so that your material is always fresh.
The media is not your friend. They will use you, and they will turn on you. They will work behind your back to destroy you if they find that you are at cross purposes to their intentions, which is often just survival in a marketplace that is highly competitive. In the case of The Cincinnati Enquirer, they are their own worst enemy since they chose to support candidates like Sherrod Brown and other progressive political positions in spite of Cincinnati’s deeply conservative nature. But you can also use their ignorance to your benefit, and should do so whenever possible. So when they put out the call for a few comments about the school levy defeats that will happen on Tuesday, or the future levies that are scheduled to be put on in March, May, August, and November of 2013, feed them a line and make sure it’s always to your advantage. And always be looking for ways to re-brand your product. If that product is you personally, then have a plan to pull more people into the fray one way or the other. But remember, if you hang on too long with only your branding, the media will seek to make you the story, which will destroy your branding before you desire it to. So make sure to always stay in front of what they are going to do next.
In spite of all these perilous conditions, the good of our communities, our state and our nation are at hand, and if we don’t play this game, then we yield to the forces of manipulation shown above. There are only two choices, you play the game, or you get played. So if it is thought that one can sit on the sidelines and just vote YES or NO on an issue, it’s not enough. You have to play the game, or the game will play you. And the best way to play that game is to figure out what your personal branding is, develop it fully, use it to gain traction in the media, but also use the media to expand your base so that you can change your branding latter to alter your strategy. Failure to do so will cause a collapse of your branding effectiveness. And timing is everything. But do not make the mistake in thinking that you can protest The Enquirer for being too left of center by not speaking with them. They are what they are, and the market will determine their fate. But while they still exist use them all you can to the aims that you determine following a strategy you created through your branding and implantation. And be sure to be the first to punch them—so that the chances of winning improve dramatically. Playing nice is the same as yielding your strategy to the fate of goodness, which is the method of a fool. Because no organization that builds itself on the back of children and hides many evils behind them is good, and will do anything to win. So they must be treated accordingly—with great aggression, and well thought out strategy with layers and layers of deceptive subplot.
And when in doubt, listen to my favorite song shown below at the top setting of your iPod and it will all clear up. Listen to the words very carefully, and be willing to do anything to win. Anything! I am, are you? And that often means not playing nice.
There is nothing I like more than to hear new people coming out front and speaking on 700 WLW from the land of West Chester defending liberty, and protecting conservatives from the vile ruthlessness of the typical progressive. Over the last couple of months George Lang has been that person, appearing on WLW a couple of times. His latest was an important one as he spoke of the Romney/Ryan visit that he had a very big part in bringing to West Chester as one of the three trustees and the only one who isn’t a typical do-nothing politician. George was on WLW to discuss the actual poll numbers for Butler County in favor of Romney and the direction Ohio would take in the upcoming election. Entertaining, smooth, and articulate, George didn’t forget to mention his support of Sharon Kennedy for Supreme Court which he and I enthusiastically prop up over the incumbent and former social worker Yvette McGee Brown.
The rally that Lang spoke about turned out to be quite dramatic. West Chester—and Butler County more specifically is one of the most intense hot beds for conservatives in the entire country. Critics will look at the crowd who attended and instantly criticize that there was a sea of 30,000 white faces with little diversity among them, or any poor. Those same critics would be part of the problem that is infecting America right now with an emphasis on all the wrong things that make up a successful society. Diversity, fairness, social justice are the policies of the progressive/socialist and the people who attended the Romney event for the most part support all those types of things, but not at the expense of wealth production and the general pursuit of goodness.
I view the typical resident of West Chester as a member of a lost tribe that has had to move away from their city homes in the past to seek refuge in the suburbs to avoid the abysmal taxation that goes on in dense population centers filled with progressive politics. Even in West Chester there are progressives who are currently attempting to turn West Chester into a city so they can collect more taxes to expand government more aggressively with more hyphenated nameplates on the desks of future bureaucrats. They have an unfathomable appetite for more, and more government services built on the backs of irrational emotion. Lucky for West Chester there are not many politicians who embody these traits. Two of the three trustees do, but George Lang by himself off-sets them dramatically. He will need a partner in the next election to win one of those Trustee seats away from the vile progressives that currently out-vote him. And the public school of Lakota has many progressive minded people running it, consisting of the school board, the superintendent and most of the employees which is typical for a government institution. Public school enterprises attract progressive minded people, which is a real problem.
As Kid Rock played “Just the Good Ol’ Boys” opening up for Romney’s appearance on November 2nd 2012 the crowd chanted “FOUR MORE DAYS” repeatedly in a not too disguised battle cry to oust the diabolical, lying, scandalous, manipulative, small-minded, thieving, parasitic, obtuse, puppet progressive President Obama from the seat of much destruction that he has personally ushered in to America on the backs of the “good” and at their expense. West Chester as a community does make more money than other places in the country and Obama’s schemes target them specifically for tax increases to pay for his progressive re-distribution attempts. It is because of many Obama type politicians in the past that most of the people in the large crowd moved to West Chester to begin with, because they want to be away from crime ridden public housing projects, schools filled with parents raising their kids on welfare programs, away from apartment dwellers who can vote property tax increases without actually owning property. So if the crowd is too much of one color, and has more money per capita than the average crowd, it is not the fault of the crowd, but of the progressive politicians who attempted to loot them in the past causing them to take refuge in West Chester.
But like George Lang’s interview on 700 WLW some of the most prominent Republicans in the entire country came to this grand event to partake in a movement that has been a long time and coming. As I watched the participants, Romney and Ryan specifically, on the heels of speeches by Speaker John Boehner, Governor John Kasich, Senator Rob Portman and many, many others I noticed a long—evolving plan that had been many years in the making evolving on stage that was culminating in West Chester.
Way back in 1993 there was a special election for an emergency House of Representatives seat that was coming open that spring and Portman was on 700 WLW fighting for it. He was on-air debating seven other candidates in the studio at Mt. Adams back when the station was located down in Cincinnati, but left to avoid the terribly high taxes—(see a common theme here.) I spoke to the radio host for permission to film the Sunday prime time event for my friends within the Reform Party which was a group that Ross Perot had started. Out of all the candidates Portman was clearly the most qualified and honest and I took an instant liking to him. You could tell upon meeting him for the first time that he was not the typical scum bag politician and that he sincerely cared about becoming a member of the House. I told my friends within the Reform Party that if Washington had more politicians like Rob Portman that America would explode with prosperity and goodness. Portman after the debate actually came to some of our Reform Party events, most notably the one at Longworth Hall where my friend and I hung a giant American flag off the top of the building that extended all the way to the bottom. It was half as big as a football field and it took all our strength to tie off such a large flag without it pulling us off the roof. In 1996 when I was manufacturing t-shirts with the logo, “TAKE AND AX TO OUR TAX” Rob Portman sent me a $7.50 check to buy one, which is what they cost me to make at the time. Over the years Portman had never really buckled as a pinnacle of goodness in the cease-pool of Washington politics, and I always admired him for it.
To see Portman on stage with Romney, Kasich, and Boehner along with all the rest who can all tell similar stories of their own, I saw assembled a great climax that was 20 years in the making. For the first time, Republicans had assembled a group of politicians who could actually push back against the progressive, ever-imposing impositions of parasitic existences, and do it without being equally scummy. The people gathered on stage under the flag of Mitt Romney were generally decent people who had built their lives around good family principles and stood for the values of the people gathered hoping that these men and women could stop those progressives because the planet has become so small that there isn’t anywhere else to run. West Chester is the product of good people running away from parasites—people who insist they must live at the expense of someone else. And for those who don’t wish to get picked apart any longer by such people, they flee, just like WLW did from Mt. Adams to Kenwood, and almost every one of the 30,000 people who showed up in the cold to see Romney and friends speak on a breezy November evening.
For the first time in a number of years I am waking up in the morning after such a rally and I can actually see a light at the end of the tunnel. Under a Romney administration it won’t take much to work with Governor Kasich to get the oil fields in Ohio flowing again, and coal will become a major industry bringing great wealth to Ohio. And I know that technologies like thorium will get a serious look as a future alternative to the dirty fossil fuels. Education will be reformed, because it has to be. And it won’t be the methods of old, which Romney made very clear in his speech, but one that embraces competition between schools to raise the performance and lower their costs to the community, which is what I have personally been fighting to help usher in. Just two years ago School Choice was a dirty word, and teacher unions attacked anybody who criticized them. Now politicians like Romney can give a speech without even caring if it makes the unions angry, because they have been neutralized and seen for what they really are. Their masks have been ripped off, and they will have to adapt to a new way of thinking, and Ohio will play a central role in that change. The best way to avoid the extortions of the past, the strikes, the busing cuts, the sports fees is to give parents the power to pick their child up and move them to another school that isn’t playing that kind of game. I believe that within one year of a Romney/Ryan administration the economy will dramatically improve, because in their case all they have to do is turn on the facet, where Obama and his gangs of thugs have turned it off deliberately to induce wealth redistribution on a global scale.
Listening to George Lang on WLW, then seeing the Romney event for myself, I have the feeling that the angry contentions that I have been a part of for many years may finally be coming to an end. There will always be a need to be vigilant. Even Rob Portman voted for the NDAA Act which is a major concern for me, but like most things, good intentions that are actually quite bad are not so obvious to the people who are up close and personal with such issues. They are only obvious in the long view, which I have made something of a living framing for some of these same people for quite a long time now. But finally, there appears to be a day when we can wake up on the morning and not think about what a scum bag is in The White House, or what kind of looting governor is trying to steal money from the rich and give it to the poor just to get himself re-elected again, or that politicians like progressive trustees would embark on a well-planned smear campaign to lash out at Lang for going on WLW to speak his mind. The momentum is shifting—finally for the better and for the first time since the 1992 election when I sat on the steps of a plush Cincinnati hotel and watched with grimy anger a speech by Bill Clinton that was going to be in The White House, I have the kind of hope that I last felt in 1980 as a young 7th grade student at Lakota who had campaigned openly for Ronald Reagan in my class rooms, giving speeches on how the Soviet Union could be crushed with a military build-up and how Jimmy Carter had screwed up the magic of capitalism. Those same youthful eyes watched on that election in 1980 state by state a national election that was a landslide win for Reagan I have wished for a return to that kind of America—the kind of America that brought hope to the 80’s, made a lot of people rich, and crushed global communism. After watching Mitt Romney and the rest speaking in West Chester, I had the feeling that Mitt Romney was more qualified to go well beyond what Ronald Reagan accomplished and that the reverberations of those actions will propel America in a direction of goodness that hasn’t been seen or felt in well over 100 years.
With all that said, Kid Rock was the perfect musical artist to perform on the cusp of such a moment in a land created out of reaction to the imposing policies of progressives for an offensive that will soon flatten them with their stubborn refusal to see reason through the actions of American goodness that is about to turn from blue states to red states on a massive scale. I’m not saying that everything will be fixed on November 7th 2012 when Romney is the next president. But, it is a step in the right direction. The next steps that meander off into the darkness are ones that will require a whole new way of thinking, but that will come in time, and I’ll help usher it in. But to see where the country has a potential to go in a fight that we have all been involved in for over 20 years is wonderfully exciting, and the “Good O’ Boy’s never sounded so good. This is not the Republican Party of the Lawrence Welk days. These are the days of Clint Eastwood passing the torch onto Kid Rock, Mitt Romney and the rest of us who are sick and tired of progressives who want to ruin our lives by giving our freedoms away to the same idiots who cloaked Europe into 1000 years of darkness. It will not be tolerated and will be met with peaceful elections, and if that doesn’t work, then something else. Hopefully Romney will give us the former, so the latter won’t become needed.
In the games of politics however, I am happy to let George Lang take the high road path of Mitt Romney in the arena of elections. George is very good at it, and it has its place. I on the other hand will be in the dirt with Kid Rock where the blood is spilled because it takes both to win a movement, and is what conservatives have been missing for most of a century. But no longer, and it is good to see both elements finally present at the same conservative rally!
One of the things that struck me so intensely with Ayn Rand’s book Anthem is the idea that society could revert back to roving gangs of hunters and gathers after touching the face of very advanced technology within just a few short years. I would argue that the progressive movement rooted in modern socialism is currently attempting to do that very thing in Modern America as Ayn Rand outlined in her very good dystopian novel. Many modern readers may squawk at such an assumption but they only would because they have a limited understanding of history. It has happened before, and quite dramatically. In the year 410 A.D. barbarians sacked Rome destroying virtually everything Western Civilization had produced up to that point in human civilization in the Occident. Five years later the great library at Alexandria was attacked and between the fall of these two great cities, The Dark Ages began catapulting the human race back to a time prior to the creation of Babylon. The reason was that technology and history was erased by the barbarian hoards to protect the political and religious ideology of the attackers against the evidence of scientific thought. Below is the historical story and context of this dark plummet down the abyss of time, which human beings have experienced time and time again for millions of years. CLICK HERE FOR MODERN EVIDENCE OF THIS VERY PROBLEM.
Alexandria (Egypt), city and major seaport in northern Egypt, in the Nile River delta. The population is 3,380,000 (1992 estimate). The city was founded in 332 BC by Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia, who planned it as one of the finest ports of the ancient world. A famous lighthouse, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was also built on the island of Pharos.
The ancient city had streets crossing at right angles and colonnades adorning the principal streets. The most magnificent quarter of the city, called the Brucheium, was situated on the eastern harbor. Farther west was the temple of the Egyptian deity Serapis, the mausoleum of Alexander and the Ptolemies, and the temple of Poseidon.
Alexandria was made the capital of Egypt, and numerous palaces, libraries, and influential schools were built. Under the Ptolemies, the city became the literary and scientific center of the ancient world. Its location made it the center of commerce between East and West, and fleets of grain ships sailed from Alexandria to Italy. Gradually, however, the city lost its prosperity. The Romans and, later, the Muslims besieged and destroyed much of the city. The city declined, particularly after the rise of Cairo in the 10th century and the opening of the sea route to India in the 15th century.[1]
A Christian religious zealot by the name of Cyril, Alexandria’s new bishop sought to put an end of the enlightenment of this great Mediterranean city and do as the barbarians from the north had done to Roma just five years prior. Alexandria had such a vast library that prided itself as containing the most thorough collection of books and scrolls in the entire world. Alexandria contained most of the secrets that the human race is just recently beginning to rediscover about itself in the works of Graham Hancock, Zachariah Sitchen, and many others. It could be argued that the library in Alexandria had the most advanced knowledge known to mankind up to that point. The citizens of Alexandria were such advocates for knowledge that ships entering its wonderful ports were searched for new books that the library did not have so that copies could be made and kept in the library.
One of the great philosophers from that city that may have rivaled Socrates, Plato or even Aristotle was a woman by the name of Hypatia of Alexandria. Hypatia taught mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy at the Museum of Alexandria eventually succeeding her father as its head. She was an esteemed Neo-Platonist intellectual and was the first notable female mathematician who invented a graduated brass hydrometer and the plane astrolabe. Hypatia taught her students advanced algebra among many other concepts that were only being explored in Alexandria. Cyril noticed that the city adored Hypatia and knew that he had to eliminate her if he was ever to gain power over the city so he used the mob much the way labor unions do today to turn the Christians against Hypatia labeling her as a pagan witch. On a dark day in 415 A.D. Hypatia was ripped from her carriage stripped naked in the street and skinned alive with oyster shells. When she finally died she was ripped to pieces limb for limb and burnt. Once she was killed the Library at Alexandria was destroyed, its contents consumed by fire and vandalism. The intention of this destruction was no different from the book burning done by Adolf Hitler many years later, to destroy knowledge of outside, rival ideas so that collectivist evasion could take place in a social unification endeavor.
You can learn more about Hypatia from the very good film Agora or at the link below.
Just a few year prior to the crime of Cyril plotting his power grab on the back of religion in the city of Alexandria a former Roman military man Alaric who had been passed up for a promotion decided to take his anger out against Rome by attacking it. Rome like Alexandria had been one of the three bright spots for western civilization and was the premier center of learning and human advancement. So the way to destroy what was left of the Roman Empire for people like Alaric was to destroy the past so that future generations would follow only him.
Rome was the capital and largest city of Italy, in the west-central part of the country on the Tiber River. Traditionally founded by Romulus and Remus, it was ruled first by Etruscans, who were overthrown c. 500 B.C. The Roman Republic gradually extended its territory and expanded its influence, giving way to the Roman Empire during the reign of Augustus (27 B.C.-A.D. 14). As capital of the empire, Rome was considered the center of the known world, but the city declined when Constantine transferred his capital to Byzantium (323). Alaric I conquered the city in 410, leading to a lengthy period of devastation by barbarian tribes. In the Middle Ages the city revived as the spiritual and temporal power of the papacy increased. During the 1800’s Rome was held at various times by the French until it became the capital of Italy in 1871. Vatican City remains an independent enclave within the confines of Rome. Population, 2,830,569.[2]
To destroy the city Alaric surrounded it and prevented the citizens inside the walls of Rome from getting food so he could starve them into submission. The high-minded, well-off residents of Rome quickly ran out of food and within two years of the boycott, were desperately hungry. Many of them turned to cannibalism. Desperate they opened the city walls to Alaric who had been patiently waiting all that time who then raided the city, killed most of the inhabitants and looted everything of any real value. Such economic espionage could be said to be very reminiscent of modern America who like Rome thought themselves impervious to such villainy, until the food ran out. Once such a thing happened they turned to unspeakable measures to eat meat including their own dead. Within a very short time with the two attacks describe here, the fall of Rome in 410 A.D. then Alexandria in 415 A.D. by the Christian hordes led by Cyril The Dark Ages had begun and the human race had reverted to the type of society they were during the Neanderthal Period, universally illiterate and overly superstitious. For many during the Dark Ages the only form of philosophy or literature they had access to was a Bible read to them by a priest, since personal copies of the book were hard to come by and controlled by the church. All other information from any other part of the world, all the works of Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Confucius, Empedocies, or even Ptolemy’s claim that Earth is the center of the universe was gone from human thought and all of Europe had reverted backwards for nearly 500 years.
The spell was broken when Christian Crusaders invaded the Holy Land to take Jerusalem back from the Muslims. Lucky for the invading Crusaders the Muslims had built some of their religion around Aristotelian thought and had actually retained copies of the classic Greek thinkers. It was in this way that books from the Ancient Times reseeded thought back into Europe and led to the Renaissance. It is also why only the Greek thinkers are studied, because it was only their books that survived all the purges, the book burnings, and religious censorship that went on leading up to the Dark Ages. There is no way to know what wealth of knowledge was lost when Rome and Alexandria were destroyed as centers of learning and human advancement. In fact, not a single piece of work from Hypatia survived her death. Only word of mouth from her students carried on her name and any hint of what she had tried to teach them, all of it had to go underground once the Christians took over the city and destroyed the library gaining a monopoly on human knowledge.
So the events described in Ayn Rand’s book Anthem are not farfetched at all, and many modern parallels to history can be seen to this very day. No question among the modern Chinese are military minds no different from Alaric who would see The United States crushed as an economy much the way Rome was, by starving it from within once it has destroyed its ability to self-manufacture. In America the way to destroy it is to make its people lazy, make them dependent on foreign trade, then gain control of that trade as the people then eat out of the hand of a dominator because they have lost the heart and mind to be productive themselves, which is happening now. Then there are derelicts like Cyril and those are easy to see wherever progressives congregate. It doesn’t matter if it’s Van Jones, Richard Trumka, or Joe Biden; they are all attempting to use collectivism to paint free thinkers as heretics so that they can destroy competition against their half-baked ideas. And like the people of Alexandria, there is always an audience for those who make promises to give to the mob, the wealth created by people like Hypatia.
Like Ayn Rand’s book Atlas Shrugged, or Anthem, when the people who make cities like Alexandria great are killed, sacrificed, or suppressed, the city crumbles because it is not the mob of collectivism that makes anything good or even great. It is the mind that builds upon historical precedent, and advances society one step at a time that makes such places like Rome and Alexandria great cities. Once a person like Hypatia was removed from such a place the entire world of Europe was cast into the Dark Ages filled with cannibalism, disease, illiteracy, and social dysfunction for half a century. It is this very premise which America is facing now—to submit to the theories of collectivism as it has been fashioned by the enemies of the American idea. Or to put our faith in individuals and let them work their magic for the benefit of all. History tells us which one to follow and writers like Ayn Rand have made the connection. All that is required is for people to chose…………..and to chose wisely, because without a good choice, history will repeat itself.
