No Gun Control: We can’t trust this government especially after what they did to Rudy Giuliani

No Gun Control, we can’t trust this government

I’m not making threats when I say the FBI raid of Rudy Giuliani on the same day as Beijing Biden’s “state of the union” is why we can never give government rights to regulate guns.  The harassment and confiscation of the electronic devices Giuliani had by the FBI shows the massive corruption that the DOJ is capable of and how willing they were to break the law.  Of course, we know, as I said in the video above, that there are lots of strategic reasons for the raid from the big-government types using the FBI for political terrorism.  We are all big boys and girls, so we don’t need to talk about how unfair it is.  It is what it is.  The least talked about portion of the attack was digging up dirt on Trump, hoping to find something to build a case against his re-election.  The Democrats, who are the bosses of the FBI, know history.  Many times, a “great leader” was exiled out of their homeland only to gain strength and return for conquest.

Vladimir Lenin comes to mind before the Russian Revolution of 1917.  Except for this time, the communists are worried about Trump coming back into power. Many Democrats are concerned about Trump helping Republicans win back the seats within the House and Senate.  And even worse, they are worried that those Republicans won’t be Frank Luntz Republicans, the wishy-washy weak John Boehner types.  But more those like Ron DeSantis and Kristie Noem.  The risk to Democrats is genuine.  They expected complete conquest of Republicans after the election of 2020, but that hasn’t happened.  And now there is panic, so they used their pals in the FBI to harass President Trump’s attorney, the long-time well-respected figure Rudy Giuliani, Mr. Law Enforcement himself, and former mayor of New York.

I mentioned guns because it’s evident that we have a lawless society, and the Democratic party is in power and has control of our three-letter intelligence agencies.  What other conclusion is there?  Yet I have no plans to submit to their takeover of our country and their desire to undo America from within so that their financiers in China can conquer us for a greater good that only they think is good.  Just as China wants to do everywhere, especially in Taiwan and Japan, they mean eradicating us any way possible, and the Executive Branch represents that attack.  That leaves us needing guns to protect us from the lawlessness that this current government exhibits audaciously.  I don’t want violence, but this administration certainly does, and they attacked Giuliani as a warning to us all to submit to their power and authority.  If Rudy Giuliani can be attacked the way he was by the FBI and Biden Justice Department, then they can and will do it to any of us at any time.  Their intentions have been made known.  So why in the hell would we listen to these corrupt government types when they say that we should trust them with gun control?  That is like following instructions from a robber to leave your house unlocked so they can pillage you and your family whenever they feel like it.  Gun control is off the table in every way it could be.  Suppose we can’t trust elections, and we can’t take back our government from these riotous thieves? In that case, we’re going to need those guns for proper management of our government because it’s evident that the FBI doesn’t work for America; it’s for the corporate influences and the Chinese government behind the Biden presidency.

Additionally, various audits are going on regarding the election fraud that occurred in the election of 2020.  Rudy Giuliani has been one of the leading figures regarding questioning the election results.  Mike Lindell has been another as well as Sydney Powell.  All these people are being proven to be right about their accusation of voter fraud.  That is yet another reason to attack Giuliani, shut him up and find some dirt that might destroy his credibility.  If only they could get to Giuliani before the Arizona audit gets leaked.  When that happens, and everyone will realize that there were large amounts of fraud in those five states that shut down in the middle of the night to steal the election and that Fox News had the inside gaff, which is why they called it so early.  Many people at all levels of government could and should be in big-time trouble over that election.  Democrats have no choice but to deny, deny, and deny, attack, attack, and attack all those who might point out the crimes committed.  We are dealing with massive corruption here by the government that controls the FBI, so what does anybody think is possible with this situation?  That we might ask them to stop being so mean? 

What was done to Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, really all the Trump people who have been harassed and abused from well before his administration ever started was more than enough to justify a complete armed revolution.  We haven’t yet as Americans because we still have hope that the system might work yet.  But when we see a current president going after a former president and using the FBI to do it, then that is the Democrats begging for a war they think they will win.  Because Frank the duntz Luntz told them so.  We should all be insulted that this government has gone this far.  They are going for blood, and they intend to scare us all so far that we will comply without defending ourselves, just as they do in China.  That is where this playbook comes from.  The raid of Rudy Giuliani was unprovoked, illegal, and the sheer evidence of foreign influence over our current government that is as anti-American as conceivably possible, and it’s all reprehensible and cannot be accepted. 

We must deal with reality and not hopeful dreams; we are dealing with a vast evil that has no problem abusing people, even to their destruction.  And they aren’t doing it in the darkness of night; they raid these high-profile figures at 6 AM to show their command of our days.  They go for lower-profile people too, but they don’t make the news.  Our court system does not work anymore.  Wokeness has infected our corporations and entertainment culture to the point where they are trying to corral us all into the slaughterhouse pen for our projected destruction.  Then to seal the deal, they promote gun control as a fix to all the problems they caused for their very mechanisms of evil.  And the greatest insult is that they expect to get away with it because they always have.  To my mind, this means that when Republicans gain control over the Department of Justice, which Trump had, but he was too good of a guy to use that power—the next time, we better use it.  Otherwise, there will be nothing but blood to spill to regain our government and not find ourselves sold to China while sleeping, which looks to be the case now.  But there is no room for gun control of any kind.  There is no trust in this government because of the FBI’s behavior as political operatives for the Democrat Party.  That fault is their own, and they have not been shy about flaunting that power.  So, for our right, neither should we.

Protecting Drivers from Protestors: The trick of using free speech to destroy the Constitution

Protestors Should Not Be in the Road, Ever

It’s about time; Oklahoma is proposing legislation to protect drivers who run protestors carrying their anarchy into the roadways of that state.  Other states such as Indiana and Florida pursuing similar protections, which is a perfect thing and long overdue.  We have witnessed many riots over the last several years, especially the race-baiting Democrats who have been engaged.  With them, it’s been quite a show; they were the ones who were responsible for slavery and fighting to keep it in place.  Now to cover that crime, they seek to control people of color another way. They are obliged all too often with riots in the streets every time Democrats find they need a diversion from their many crimes and liabilities derived from legislative errors.  Many of these protests are just thinly disguised attempts to exert Marxism into American society. Hence, their target is always commerce, which is why these mobs have been seeking to shut down our nation’s highways.  On several occasions, panicked drivers being forced to sit in traffic as these mobs destroy their property in terrifying ways have tried to drive through the attackers harming and even killing them.  For the drivers, not only did they have their property destroyed and had to sit through a terrifying occasion, but then they end up prosecuted for using their car as a deadly weapon.  It is hardly fair, and justice has been desperately needed. 

Thankfully, states like Oklahoma are providing that justice.  While nobody wants anybody to get hurt, no protestor should ever expect their free speech to harm other people’s liberty, specifically their right to commerce.  The moment that any protestor affects the individual lives of other people, such as showing up at their homes and playing loud music or chanting through a bullhorn to keep the occupants inside awake, we are then dealing with a disturbance of the peace situation.  The violators have then surrendered their constitutional protections of free speech and should then be arrested and prosecuted.  That is the same with protestors who have disrupted the meals of their targets in public.  Those protests are then disturbance of the peace violations and need to be met with aggressive action.  The occupants of a restaurant are there to pay for a nice meal.  It is their right and privilege.  Robbing that experience from people to usher in some protest is not acceptable and not part of the ground rules of a free society.  The protestors may be free to speak their mind, even if it’s wrong.  But they do not have a right to rob other people of enjoyment.  Whatever legal jargon might allow for a gray spot in interpretation requires clarity quickly, which, thankfully, these states mentioned are beginning to do. 

Now protestors might argue that taking away their right to get people’s attention will weaken their ability to get their point across.  That is not the problem of a society of commerce.  That is the problem of the protestor.  If the protestor has a good point, people will follow them.  If people think of the protestors as an inconvenience, they will be ignored, and their points glazed over.  That is how battles in a free-market economy are conducted.  Nobody has a right to dominate the minds and thoughts of others.  However, that’s not what the protestors want.  If we read the many books that they have been circulating for years, books such as The Coming Insurrection, Mao’s Little Red Book, and Rules for Radicals, it’s clear they want Marxism disguised as fairness.  So, they don’t care at all about individual rights, and they openly seek to destroy unregulated commerce.  And to deal with protestors legally in this regard, we can’t allow ourselves to think that we are protecting free speech when in all reality, we are working against all the other rights of the Constitution. 

It is a basic premise in our society that if people are walking around on railroad tracks or a highway, their safety is not the responsibility of other people. Suppose they put themselves in danger by being within the means of commerce of any kind, boat, plane, car, train—anything, that their life is in their own hands.  That is true even if there is a mob of hundreds and hundreds of people.  It is not the truck driver’s duty to stop the work and delay shipment of their product from one place to another because many protestors decided to bring their gripes to the truck driver’s life and alter his reality. While traveling at a moderate rate of speed, the truck driver should be unable to slow down and move right on through the mob unimpeded.  If there are injuries or deaths, then that obligation rests on the people in the road, not the drivers, to have one more thing to worry about.  If animals cross into a road, which could be understood since they don’t know better, they are struck all the time.  It is understood generally that the right to commerce is more important than an accident from some creature, unfortunately, being in the road when a car comes along.  However, in the case of humans, they do know better.  Now they may be impaired by drugs, or they may be sick with political ideology.  Regardless, they are still ill of mind and prone to destruction if they end up in the road and are hit by a car or truck while protesting. 

For many years, these ideas have been generally understood.  However, in our now overly litigious society, we see challenges to this premise. Many drivers have been stopping and yielding to these protestors because they are more afraid of the legal system than the derelicts of destruction that often end up in these mobs.  That is why the many state legislators must do as Oklahoma are doing now, making the issue quite specific.  Commerce must be a protected right, people’s ability to be free of a protest should they want to be supported.  We cannot allow people who wish to bring harm to our constitutional republic to use our rules against us disguised as free speech, but with the intent of violating the whole foundation of our legal system while in the process, which is what has been happening.  The challenge has left people feeling defenseless and vulnerable, which should never be the case in a civil society.  Because the alternative is that if protesters act with lawlessness, which is their premise when they loot and vandalize during protests, we fight back with lawlessness.  I don’t think that’s where we all want to go.  It would be better if everyone agreed with the laws, and we could at least have that as a common means of exchange.  But putting up with the chaos and aggression against commerce is not an option.  Commerce is much more sacred than the feelings of a Marxist minority, or even a majority, should that ever occur.  And before open violence between drivers and protests happens, the ground rules need to be clear: what Oklahoma and many other states are now doing, and not a moment too soon.

China’s President Biden: The timeshare of communism in America

Yes, the speech to congress in late April of 2021 might as well have been written by Karl Marx.  And that is what most of the commentators heard and reported in the wake after.  It was the usual banter back and forth with some lovely comments about Tim Scott’s response.  Tim is a great guy, and yes, he’s a black guy.  I thought the Biden speech was so weak that my dog could have responded to it, so it was kind of a waste of time for Tim to connect him to the same event.  It shows that Republicans missed the entire point of the Biden speech.  Putting a black Republican into that parade of socialism was what they thought was a clever move when in all actuality, it was an endorsement of playing this political fight the way Democrats want it.  No, the truth of the matter wasn’t about the issues or anything positive that Tim Scott might have said to poise Republicans to take back the House and Senate in 2022.  The subtext and intent of the speech were much more sinister and global.  I suffered through the address because I thought I needed to for my political hobby of commentary and advisement.  And I’m glad I did because I wouldn’t have known otherwise that Xi Jinping was such a prominent character in the Biden speech.  Biden spoke about how much time he had spent with Xi over the years and talked up the Chinese communist leader as a very ambitious man and that if we weren’t careful, we were going to lose everything to them. 

Biden was soft-selling communism in the same way that people who sell timeshares get you to buy their product.  They invite you in with the promise of no commitment, except for a little bit of your time.  Then once you’ve slept in their condo, and they’ve treated you to a nice vacation, they insist on a pitch that throws loads of guilt at you, and before you know it, you are signing up for a timeshare.  In this case, Biden said a whole lot that wasn’t obvious unless you understand these kinds of selling games.  Biden threw out a very liberal agenda.  Used Xi as the quintessential example we are chasing after in the world marketplace and that if we did not implement that liberal plan, we would all be working for China soon.  Biden mentioned that we need to add pre-K classes to three-year-old kids and to offer two years of community college after high school, all for free, paid for by increased taxes on the rich and dynamic.  Of course, Biden ignored the fact that our K through 12 education is a joke of liberalism that is harming children, not helping them now.  But the point of this speech was to sell more government education to shape minds into friendly communist subjects for an emerging government. 

But Biden said something else too, something that flew right over the heads of everyone.  He suggested that Xi would often tell him that democracy doesn’t work, that it’s too messy.  The implication is that communism is the way to go; that’s how you can get things done.  Democracy is too slow.  That the secret to success is in pushing things down people’s throats, they’ll thank you later.  Biden, of course, was using Xi as the bad cop where Biden was playing good cop.  Of course, Xi would approve and feed him a nice snack the next time they met on how well Biden did in selling communism without naming the beast to the top of the American government and the nation.  Biden made it sound as if he was willing to give democracy a chance, but that soon we’d have to make a decision; otherwise, China would be kicking our ass economically. So, if Republicans didn’t get on board and unite with Democrats on infrastructure, taxes, health care, open borders, and the Green New Deal, then we would all fall to China in the years to come.  Again, fear of a foreign power calling the shots and adopting socialism to fight communism is essentially the same thing.  Capitalism isn’t even an option to the Biden administration.  Of course, we knew it already, but Biden said it with his example of his admitted friend, Xi Jinping.

Now for anybody who truly understands economics and human empowerment, they know that China isn’t prosperous. I’ve addressed the issue many times here.  China only succeeds by copying the United States and stealing intellectual property.  Communist cultures destroy individual creativity and therefore ruin businesses.  The only way they can achieve this is by luring American companies to their economy and selling Americans things at a cheaper rate than buying American typically does.  Biden also addressed that issue by advocating that American’s “buy American” but then promoted that unions regain their power to take over the management of businesses, which are all socialist and communist in their intentions.  Labor unions are not pro-American groups.  They are international for a reason: to protect workers while selling to them the concept of socialism, which then ruins our culture from the inside out.  Either way, Biden plans to hand America over to Xi Jinping by making it look like it’s for our good without telling anybody that China is helpless without the United States.

The real answers are, of course, more free-market enterprise.  Less government school and more school of hard knocks.  In buying American with those American companies being dedicated to the United States and not global conglomerates like Coka Cola, which is operated out of London these days, just a few blocks away from the grave of Karl Marx.  And why would corporations still support Biden with his proposed tax hikes on the rich?  Well, it’s to get into new markets; they want access to the markets of over a billion people in China.  So to play ball in that game, they must adopt communism and China’s way of doing business.  China put Biden on that stage that night, and he spoke as their representative.  He certainly didn’t represent America.  Biden said that if Republicans fought him too much on his policies that we’d have no choice but to turn to communism to survive as a country. It’s the same trick that these politicians have pulled on the global corporations. The sales pitch is that there are only 300 million people in America.  There are over a billion in China.  Which market is more valuable to you, Mr. and Mrs. Corporation?  The Chinese never tell those corporations or our government about our partnership because there is always a catch, just like the timeshare salespeople.  You might have access to those billion people, but they don’t have any money to buy those products.  But by the time that these global corporations learn the hard truth, they have sold their souls to communism by then.  And the paid-off politicians, like the Biden family, are in on the game.  They work against America every day and sell the switch to communism through speeches like the one we heard from Biden.  That is what the speech was about; it was a warning to cooperate with the radical Democrats or be destroyed.  Because China is looming, and they are the ones in control.

Why Not Make a 51st State: Democrats can’t win elections without cheating

Who is worried about turning Washington D.C. into a 51st state? I’m not.  Of course, there are the usual reasons for being concerned about it, such as putting two more Democrats in the Senate, which liberals want.  They are doing the same thing with trying to make D.C. a state as they are trying to do with court-packing on the Supreme Court.  They think that if they stuff more Democrats into the system, the world will suddenly like them and accept who they are, what they represent, and what their plans are for the future.  Democrats think that if only they can control everything that people see and hear, that their policies will not be rejected at face value.  But as I said in the video attached, the reality of what they would get is far from their intentions.  Sure, in the short run, Democrats might pick up a few seats. Still, I would be willing to gamble that if Republicans put their attention on election reform in preventing mock elections with fake mail-in ballots cast without voter ID, then Democrats may never win an election again.  They aren’t nearly as popular as people think they are.  Democrats only think they are popular because they talk only to a limited number of liberal people in their lives, and that circle is shrinking fast.  The best way to defeat Democrats isn’t by playing keep-away with state expansions; it’s with voter ID. 

I’m all for a 51st State

I always love to hear that other places in the world want to become part of the United States.  Perhaps if Washington D.C. became the 51st state, then Puerto Rico might become the 52nd.  Then where might we find more states?  Might Cuba desire to become a 53rd state or the many little countries of Central America?  After all, what does everyone think people from those places are running from?  They are running from socialism and communism to someplace where they can work and be somewhat free.  They may not know how to live in a capitalist society.  But we could teach them.  President Trump did an excellent job of starting that process.  We know that Latino people and blacks will vote for Republicans; they are even becoming Republicans, which is why liberals are freaking out with racism claims all of a sudden.  What they saw from Trump scared them, and they fear losing their crutch of minority voters forever.  You see, for Democrats, it’s all about gaining power through cheating and people from other countries bringing their socialism to America and then toppling our government with the expectations of dependency.  If you take away that threat from Democrats, they have nothing to stand on.  You essentially take away their entire political platform.  

But what if we took America to those far-flung places, by choice of course?  Not by invasion or threat, but by culture.  What about Hong Kong?  Why not make it a territory of the United States by giving them a choice to leave China and become a state of America?  Who says our borders must be what’s on the map now?  Why not take our borders to those countries with people who want their version of America?  They could still retain their identity, such as Texas maintains their history, and New York does.  But they could accept our capitalist culture and be free to live under our Constitution as we enjoy.  Why make people live in dangerous countries where the governments are corrupt beyond belief?  Why not give them a choice of options to let them see the benefit of what American statehood is?  Why not offer the same thing to Congo and other African countries?  I would bet that many of the people there would love to have the opportunity of having what the poorest of Americans have, and they’d appreciate and likely vote for Republicans once they learned that it would be for their good. 

Democrats are fluffing their feathers, trying to look so big and menacing.  But they are just peacocks. What’s under all those feathers is just a skinny bird, easy to beat.  They have Republicans convinced that Democrats could win elections because conservatives in the past have never had a reason not to believe our election system was so corrupt.  But with voter ID and severe limits on mail-in ballots tightly controlled, Democrats would lose massively in all houses of congress and their states.  Especially now that blue state governors have shown themselves to be so massively inept.  Democrats want the expansion of states to get a short-term boost in their control of the House and Senate.  They hope that election laws stay loose so that this reality isn’t poised upon them.  They hope to swipe away at Constitutional powers before this secret about their true nature is revealed to the world.  The way to beat Democrats and liberalism, in general, is to expand America beyond our borders.  To the places in the world that want our values and the power of our capitalism.  It would save many people the world over the dangerous trip into America if only America came to them.

Is that colonialism?  Liberals would say so, but they’d be wrong.  There is a difference between conquering a country and making it into an American state and inviting them to have the option by a vote.  How many people in Hong Kong would pick America over China?  Or in Cuba, the same? Wouldn’t the Cuban people love the opportunity to buy a car that is less than 50 years old and have 1000 cable television channels as we do in the states, and a job to pay for all of them?  If given a choice, wouldn’t most of the countries of Africa choose the life of an American as opposed to the communist militants and outright socialists they have now? Wouldn’t they love a nice big Wal-Mart next to the Congo River?

Ahhhh, I bet they would. They’d love the air conditioning, if nothing else, and refrigerated water!  I think statehood would be an excellent idea for many of these places, and people would love it and be far better off than they are presently.  But Democrats stay in power by cheating in elections and keeping those countries rotting from within to force migrants into America looking for freedom, then making them dependents and voters for them as soon as they enter our country.  They stay in power by avoiding the ultimate question, is one tyranny better than another.  Well, at least in America, you get to keep most of your money.  The government is a better cartel in that they don’t kill you as you sleep in the night and take your children into sex trafficking and the drug trade.  The cartel in America gives you free stuff in exchange for a vote.  Imagine the world if this was not allowed.  Instead, America came to those places on the wave of justice expected in our culture?  Then we’d have a different story, and we wouldn’t be worried about Democrats gaining seats in the Senate.  Republicans would have a perpetual majority forever.  And Democrats may never win an election again.  Of course, this is true; it’s what Democrats fear the most about their slim grip on any power, ever.  It’s that people might learn how vulnerable they are, then begin to turn the tables on the Democrat game, which is precisely what we should do, and now.

Donald Trump is Fighting Back the way Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson did

First of all, we are not a democracy, so dying in darkness has nothing to do with the current situation regarding President Trump and his declassification of the documents used against him politically by Democrats to attempt an overthrow of his election. We are a republic which requires smart people to prevail at the end of the day in a representative fashion to manage a country. This concept of “rule by the people” doesn’t work because not all people are smart or good at movement. A simple majority vote simply leads to communism then anarchy and really aren’t conducive to good government, which is really what is behind the attempt to destroy the Trump administration at the outset. Because people who essentially wanted to destroy the American Republic and replace it with something more socialist knew that Trump represented a turn away from the typical Democrat. So they did everything they could to destroy him and anybody connected with him.

I am happy every day these days, most of them anyway. Trump is running the country the way I have wanted for my entire life. He does and says what I’ve always wanted to see because anybody who looks could see what kind of game was going on in Washington D.C. They weren’t working for us as American taxpayers, they considered themselves above our station and that their political view of the world was rooted in making the presidency into a kind of king’s court for which they were members. The rest of us were mere peons, which I never accepted as a reality, and is the root of my political interest. I’ve always been interested in presidential politics, going back into my grade school days. While a lot of kids were trying to sneak of copy of Penthouse from the local bookstore that they were too young to purchase themselves, I was reading presidential biographies about life in the White House. They only ones who ran the presidency the way I thought it should be done was Thomas Jefferson and then later Teddy Roosevelt. I never personally had an interest in a president who just wanted to get along with everyone. I wanted someone who wanted to fight for a small government appetite at the top office, and Trump has clearly offered himself to perform that task so I feel a need to be protective of his efforts. As I talked about here many years ago, the Edmund Morris Theodore Roosevelt Trilogy which took many years to produce is one of the best collections of books on Roosevelt ever produced. I think President Trump however is far better than Roosevelt. But I was reminded of how important Roosevelt was with the very recent book by Dan Abrams called Theodore Roosevelt for the Defense which was just released a few days ago. It was a great book about the kind of character Roosevelt was and why he was important to American life at a critical time in our history.

And it will go down in history what a great president that Trump has been. Once the cameras get cold and forget about their daily ambitions to over-throw the country one news story at a time, Trump will be remembered as one of the best American presidents without question. And one of the most heroic moments of it won’t be the way he stood up to world leaders looking to sap us all dry anyway possible, but that he rooted out insurrection attempts within our own government. As Jefferson said, “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny in government.” Or how about this little gem of a thought, “I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labour of the industrious.” Or on the nature of republic government as opposed to just flat rate democracy, “Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.” And this one is one of my favorites, “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

I think we can all agree that Thomas Jefferson was hardly a crazy radical and was one of the greatest American presidents. Jefferson was well read and very interested in being a top contributor intellectually to the spirt of American government. And Roosevelt was much the same, he loved to read and was very, very educated. But while Jefferson liked to think and philosophize, Roosevelt liked to fight. He just thrived off conflict with other people which really improved our government for a while. He liked to fight so much that he stepped away from the Republican Party just to spite the party boss at the time and went on to help found the Progressive Party to get back at his rivals—which turned out to be a disaster. But that’s a story for another time. What matters is that he brought the will to fight and a vast intelligence to the White House and that held our government together at a critical time. Trump isn’t crazy about reading, but he is very smart and was excessively accomplished before he ever came to office and his love of fighting is very much an important attribute to his election. People like me voted for him not out of any desire for racism, or ignorance. I doubt there are many people on the political left who are as accommodating of ambition no matter what country it comes from as I am. And I seriously doubt many of them read as many books as I do, or write about the benefits of our republic as me. And I will say gladly that the insurrection against President Trump can’t go unmatched. He has to kick some ass, I expect him to, as do millions of his supporters. That’s why we elected him. Its better to have the fight legally through elections than with guns in the streets, which is where we were headed. I have no intention of accepting any form of socialism in our government. What we do have I consider unacceptable. More of it simply isn’t an option.

This is exactly the moment I talked about a few years ago, where I stated that the Democrat Party likely would come to an end. They can only rule by force, and by cheating because the American people who are actually smart are not with them, regardless of political ideology. Even with the incubation contributors of colleges toward liberalism, and our horrendous public education system which is essentially a 12 year advertisement for socialism, there were enough people who supported Donald Trump for president because of all the reasons we knew of regarding a government that had lost touch with what they should have been doing as elected representatives all along. The Democrats had lost that connection more than anybody, and as I said, I don’t think they’ll survive. And with how they all collaborated to remove Trump from office, there were many crimes committed, and that will bring them all to a much-deserved end. And the beginning of that end was the Trump declassification of the documents that prove all their plots of insurrection to be true. Now William Barr has the green light to bring the Justice Department down on those insurgents and they will get everything they deserve, because we elected a president who wouldn’t just take it. But would fight back the way we have always wanted to.

Movie Review of ‘Snowden”: Make the kid a deal and put him to work

I have often thought of Oliver Stone as a brilliant screenwriter, climaxing with the movie Scarface starring Al Pacino.  As a director, I liked JFK and Natural Born Killers—which I thought were very ambitious.  I also liked his movie The Doors for the style of his approach to the subject.  But too often, Stone fizzles out in the second act and his movies never live up to the hype.  Art and activism are tricky bedfellows and most of the time the result just isn’t very good—so when he brought out Snowden just before the 2016 election as an obvious appeal to get a pardon for Edward Snowden stuck in Moscow with his longtime girlfriend unable to return back to the United States due to charges of treason and espionage—I wasn’t all that excited to see it.  However, due to the recent Wikileaks dump from the CIA called Vault 7 I thought it was time to at least see what all the fuss was about and learn the back story of Snowden.  Disappointingly, the last act was flat, as most Oliver Stone movies have been for years where the big payoff sort of sputtered out the moment that Snowden learned that you could turn on a laptop and watch women undressing in their bedrooms.  After that the story was really about a young twenty something who had his sensibilities hurt and had lost his nerve.  A story that was meant to show Snowden as a hero instead showed to me a 29-year-old genius who didn’t know how to handle a veiled threat from the upper levels of the CIA.

When Snowden’s bosses at the CIA let the young contractor know that they had been watching him in his private time he showed a naiveté that couldn’t match his big brain and the two things crashed into each other. Snowden had been given too much access to too much at too early of an age.  That scene based on real life was essentially the moment from the John Grisham novel—The Firm where a bright young prospect is nurtured along by older and wiser mentors only to have them reveal that they have control over every aspect of his life.  It’s essentially a hazing ritual that goes on in just about every place on earth that deals with the flow of money—where gatekeepers want to let someone who might be able to knock them out of a job in a few years, know that they are in control until they decide to hand over the reins.  According to Stone’s movie on Snowden—the kid got cold feet and let his mind erode away his logic.  No, I don’t like that the CIA and FBI are spying on everything we do as Americans, but there is a better way to make the case than what Snowden did out of a neurotic grasp on reality.

One thing that did surprise me was how determined Snowden was to become a special forces trooper, and once he broke his legs joined the CIA. During his entry interview, he was asked what his influences were—artistically, and he stated pretty much verbatim what I would have said, Joseph Campbell, Star Wars, Ayn Rand and Thoreau.  I also didn’t know that Snowden was a pretty straight-laced conservative who didn’t drink or smoke. After the first act I was pretty excited about Edward Snowden—he seemed to me to be a freedom fighter of a reasonable caliber.

But after watching him with his liberal girlfriend who was a sweet girl, but dreadfully naive—then with his co-workers, I realized who the guy was—and he was no hero. He is an excessively smart guy who essentially flew too close to the sun, and his wings melted. Down to earth he fell as The Guardian newspaper from England broke the story which they knew would embarrass the United States who was obviously struggling with a rogue government that had become the Deep State.  There are a lot of parasites out there in the media who want with every fiber of their essence to see any American do anything to embarrass their country even if its justified.  Because they are jealous of America and its reach into and around the world.

Now that the act is done however, there are lessons of plenty to go around. Our intelligence people in the federal government have assumed that everyone wanted to make that deal for security which I illustrated recently in an article about James Comey—and I’m not one of those people.  I don’t need some pinhead in the CIA to protect me from a terrorist.  If I see one, I’ll take care of it—better and cleaner than those idiots.  I practically begged some terrorist in Paris recently to attack me—I was wearing my cowboy hat around a radical poverty-stricken Muslim neighborhood and there were no takers.  These terrorists aren’t nearly as tough as the people in the CIA want to make them out to appear.  The CIA dramatizes everything so that they can get funding and more power—just like everyone else.  And when Snowden was confronted with an invasion of his privacy at the start of the third act of the Stone movie—he should have turned the tables on his bosses.  That would have been the manly thing to do—I would have gathered up pictures of those CIA heads in every compromising position and published them for all to see with even the hint of a threat—instead of overreacting and doing the whole—“I’ll show you” thing and reveal every state secret.  Needless to say, I couldn’t relate to how Snowden handled things in the second part of the film—he went from being very much in control and determined, to being a beaten young man under the emotional manipulation of a liberal girlfriend.   As I said about her, she was sweet and would have been a good match for someone with a fraction of Snowden’s ambitions, and ultimately she likely changed him to the point that he didn’t have the sensibility to work for the CIA anymore seeing people blown up on deserted streets in Syria as designated terrorist cells complete with collateral damage.

The undercurrent of the Snowden film which could have been good—but wasn’t—was that America had no right meddling in other country’s affairs—which of course we do. When other countries don’t solve their own problems, their immigrants come knocking on our doorsteps—so to protect our own nation—we have to go into nations that still entertain socialism, communism, and extreme religions and do what we can to diffuse bad guys planning to harm Americans domestically—and if left alone to their own devices will steal planes and run them into buildings, or bomb us in our many public gatherings as a punishment for embracing capitalism.  Snowden as a conservative changed during the film into something of a millennial crybaby and Stone seized on that aspect of the young man rather than that earlier much more conservative person.  Snowden’s character arch went from something likable to something rather pathetic and I blame the CIA for being second-handers and latching onto the kid so fast because they were essentially out of ideas themselves.

I am all for dismantling the Deep State which was revealed by Snowden and most recently caught manipulating the Presidency of Donald Trump but I’m not willing to throw the baby out with the bath water. If I were Trump I’d make Snowden a deal, I’d prosecute him for sure under Jeff Sessions and make him go through the embarrassment of public scrutiny.  But I’d put him into community service as an intelligence operative for a fraction of the cost of what he’s worth as a brilliant mind for 30 years.  A little freedom cheaply paid is better than rotting in prison, and so long as he’s in Russia, or other places—he’s helping other bad guys out there beef up their personal security and he’s not working on behalf of the United States. With a mind like Snowden—he deserves a second chance not for his benefit, but for the benefit of our country.   But his work would have to be more community service at a low wage instead of being thrown in jail only to be useless.  It’s good to keep enemies close, and Snowden should be in the United States doing work toward the next generation of threats instead of letting people like Oliver Stone make movies like Snowden to support in an indirect way George Soros’ open border network.  Yes, it’s a complicated problem but the solution is very easy.  Make a deal with the kid and put him to work limiting his freedom for decades—and we’ll all be better off.

The Value of ‘Rebels’: Cartoons are the roots of static patterns

Most young people are not paying attention to the current events in the Ukraine, or the unrest in Venezuela, or the posturing of China against Japan.  They don’t know that President Obama’s administration is attempting to use the FCC to control news content, or that the IRS has been involved in corrupt activity.   The sum of all these events are clashing with the teachings that young people are getting from government schools leaving them unsure who to trust or what to believe.  So they aren’t participating, and are focused on the events of pop culture.  They are not reading books, going to Tea Party rallies, or even searching for a way to save the world.  They just want to get by and enjoy their life to some small degree.  This has opened up the entertainment market to an explosion of comic book sales, movies, and fantasy driven entertainment.  The world of fantasy is far better, and easier to understand than the deceitful world of the present—so it is there where many of the contemporary minds of youth reside.

When I was a kid the very first cartoon I enjoyed watching was Popeye the Sailor, followed closely by Speed Racer.  Over the years, I enjoyed Starblazers, Spiderman, Looney Toons, and Godzilla as some of my favorites and I took the messages of those simple stories into my adult life unfiltered.  To this day the thing I enjoy doing most is the “right thing.”  I learned this from Popeye at age 3 and still remember vividly those early cartoon moments.  Those cartoons had tremendous influence and many people my age and younger share this enthusiasm with me.  Not everyone has preserved their love of those early cartoons to the extent that I have, but most people hold reverence for the cartoons of their youth.  These cartoons have the power to either build up a mind or destroy it.   For instance, Bevis and Butthead on MTV did a great deal to destroy culture while the same animator tried to redeem himself with the Fox cartoon King of the Hill.   Currently Family Guy, the Simpsons, and American Dad—all laced with deep progressive philosophy–are the current trend which is writing upon the minds of countless young people the thought processes they will carry throughout their life.   Teachers want to believe that they are what shape a child’s mind, and politicians caress themselves hoping that Common Core will unite the nation’s children to a government-run message of productivity.  But in reality, cartoons are shaping young people and giving them the foundation thoughts which take them into adulthood.

This is why I am currently ecstatic over the new Disney production of the Star Wars: Rebels animated series coming to the Disney XD channel this fall.   Shown within the videos on these pages are the main characters and the content.  I think the show will be unlike anything ever done on television since Disney produced Zorro, and Davy Crockett for a generation who now attends Tea Party rallies.  When I talk to Tea Party types and really get down to the nitty-gritty with them what they want is justice as defined for them by the temperament created by those old shows from the 50s and 60s.  It’s more complicated than that of course, but the foundations of their thoughts are rooted in the values of those old Disney productions–having a mom and a dad at the dinner table with them, and church on Sundays.  They find the behavior of the current political trend reprehensible, and this leads to a desire for rebellion.  This is the primary cause of most discontent discourse throughout the world—specifically in the Ukraine, in Syria, even on college campuses.

Star Wars: Rebels has the ability to explore the nature of rebellion without it being explicitly investigated by earthly reference.   The creators at Lucasfilm have the ability to explore the deep anxieties of the individual spirit to crave freedom without being political.  They don’t have to deal with race relations, political parties, economic philosophy, or any polarizing trait—they can simply tell the story of how a rebellion formed to overthrow an empire.  It’s a deep human craving that transcends party politics and because of that, I think this is the most important story that will be told in my life time.  I’m sure it will be fun, and entertaining, but more than that—it is giving to a new generation of young people a sense of value—a value that is not presently available to them.

I think often about Popeye the Sailor and some of his messages which were “I am what I am and that’s all that I am,” and Wimpy’s statements about, “I’ll pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”  These basic values I have taken with me throughout my life.  Wimpy’s comments taught me a great deal about debt, while Popeye was always very proud of who he was—flaws and all.  I know how much those simple stories meant to me, and I can only imagine how much impact the new Star Wars: Rebels will have on a new generation of young people.  The previous Star Wars cartoon; The Clone Wars on The Cartoon Network after five seasons is just now starting to have an impact on a very skeptical viewing audience.  I watched every single episode many times.  My wife and I watch them together on Saturday mornings and love them dearly.  But in many ways, Rebels will be a lot better.  Clone Wars for me always felt like a modern commentary on our current situation.  I’m sure the film makers had no intention of doing such a thing—these things have happened over human history many times and aren’t specific to our time.  But there is always a little sadness in knowing that all the heroics performed in Clone Wars will result in the creation of the Empire.  In Rebels, the Empire is already in control.  Now it is up to heroes to save their society from the control of tyrants and that is an important distinction.

Millions of young people are going to watch Star Wars: Rebels and it will become their favorite television show.  They will grow up and take those messages, and values with them into their adult lives just as modern-day older people revere the good ol’ days of Disney shows like Davey Crockett and Zorro.  As simple as that sounds, it really is the foundation principles behind most thought processes.  Just as people from my generation think differently because of the static patterns given to them from their entertainment culture—particularly cartoons, new cartoons like Star Wars: Rebels will have a far greater impact.  I would say that it is the most important contemporary work of art currently being done anywhere in the world because it brings with it through story value.

For many, they will dismiss Star Wars: Rebels as just another cartoon designed to sell action figures at Target and Wal-Mart.    But it’s more than that, and will show the real impact on television this fall.  Needless to say I’m excited about it because there will be dramatic change ushered in behind this simple cartoon.  With the distribution power of Disney, they are uniquely positioned to do great good in the world and Rebels is just the start.  When George Lucas sat down to close the Star Wars deal at the Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios in Florida he knew what he was doing.  His Skywalker Ranch had been set up specifically for the purpose of creating such wonderful shows like Star Wars: Rebels.  Lucas knows that education is the most important thing you can give young people, and he knows that public education is failing.  That’s why he has spent a considerable amount of his fortune on education.  Much of that money has been wasted on the current education system, like tossing a cup of water into the ocean and expecting to see the waters rise in proportion.  Real education comes from foundation patterns, and in our society, cartoons are the origin.  This is why millions of people flock to Disney World to retouch the stories of their youth and bring renewed appreciation to lives otherwise plagued by cynicism.  Star Wars: Rebels will mean a great deal to a large number of young and old minds, and the sum of that value will be a benefit to us all.

Saying “Yes”: ‘Ian up for Whatever’ Superbowl Bud Light commercial

Obviously, I have lived a colorful life.  I have something to say about just about anything and everything and that ability was carved out of my life experience.  Hey, it’s the Superbowl time of year—I love watching that game and the ceremonial nature that America dedicates to the event, so let’s have a little fun.  I loved several commercials during the game but I particularly enjoyed the new Bud Light commercial “Ian Up for Whatever.”  I knew from the moment that the young lady asked Ian–just a normal guy sitting in a sportsbar–that if she gave him a free Bud Light would be up for anything that followed–she was playing the role of the mythic goddess figures of the past and that Ian was in for an adventure.  There have been many times when life has asked similar questions, and my typical reaction is “YES,” because you never know what kind of adventure comes next—but to get there you always have to say “YES.”

That’s the gist of things in Bud Light’s new “Ian Up For Whatever” Super Bowl commercial—a star-studded spectacle involving hidden cameras and wave after wave of celebrity cameos.

The true star of the commercial, however, is a man named “Ian” who finds himself swept up in a sequence of wild events bordering on the unimaginable, but not quite as crazy as the uninitiated might believe.

Things begin with Ian sitting alone at a bar. He’s approached by a pretty girl named Kelly, who introduces herself and takes a seat. Within moments, Ian’s new friend holds up a Bud Light and asks a single, somewhat ominous question.

“If I give this to you, are you up for whatever happens next?” Kelly asks.

“Uh, I think so,” Ian responds, obviously thinking that Kelly was coming on to him.

That’s how it starts—a night of limousines, twin parties and more Arnold Schwarzenegger ping-pong than ever conceived possible.  Actually, that was my favorite part.

Ian receives a new jacket, courtesy of Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly.

He also finds himself with comedian-musician Reggie Watts, who has been stuffed into a DJ booth inside the Hummer stretch limo designated to chauffeur Ian about New York for the evening.

The one prevailing tie in the commercial is the presence of Bud Light bottles, which Ian and company constantly have in hand. There’s also the omnipresent eye of the commercial’s directors and coordinators, who have the entire experience planned down to the moment and wired for video and sound.

In all, “Ian Up For Whatever” is an impressive feat of planning and videography. Any number of mishaps could’ve turned this commercial into a nightmare, but judging by the final product, things went rather swimmingly.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1943450-bud-light-releases-new-super-bowl-xlviii-ian-up-for-whatever-commercial

I could tell a number of stories where similar things have happened to me.  It is often surprising how a willingness for adventure can pave the way for the unfathomable.  Those events may not happen quite in the same way as Ian’s experience—and they may not involve such New York cultural pleasure, but they are often as outrageous and cryptically elusive to the mind of a planned individual.  The human spirit often carries events beyond conception, and the real magic of life is often beyond those borders.  I have been to such places many times—so much that nothing would shock me now.  Where Ian was amazed, I would have been much more flat lined.  The limo would not have surprised me, playing “baby tennis” with Arnold Schwarzenegger wouldn’t have been strange or finding oneself onstage with a major music group, relative to my personal life.   Crazy things do happen, and they often start with the word “Yes.”

A good lesson from that commercial is to say “yes,” a bit more often.  When your boss places before you a tough challenge……………..say, “yes.”  You’d be surprised what might happen.  When your car starts sputtering because you are almost out of gas, say “yes” and keep the petal depressed.  See what happens when you run out of fuel a mile short of a gas station.  Many adventures are likely to transpire.  When you pass by a restaurant that strikes your interest, say “yes” and pull in and try it out.  Stepping out of a routine can be very exciting.  Say “yes” more often and let adventure into your life, and you will discover that Ian’s experience is not that unique.

Good things don’t always happen, but I still say yes to many things, because I love adventure.  It is adventure that has filled my mind with so many opinions, and given voice to so many topics.  I have a story for everything when I talk to younger people because in my past I have said “yes” to many outrageous adventures even the ones that appeared to be kamikaze runs.  I always figured I was cleaver enough to avoid death, and I have been right more times than chance can take credit for.

Because of those adventures I love my life.  I love every day of it and I don’t have regrets.  Even bad decisions were part of the “saying yes” process, and the adventures that followed have led to tremendous amounts of experience which translates to personal wisdom.  In this life, wisdom is capital—more powerful capital than gold, or the perceived values of finance.  Wisdom can gain finances, but finances cannot gain wisdom.  Wisdom is by far more valuable, and wisdom can only be obtained by living life—and to live life, you have to “say yes,” to things.

A guy who reads here a lot will recognize this story immediately but I remember a trip to Panama City with him which nearly mirrored this Bud Light commercial.  It started by “saying yes” to a cold March evening, a complicated engineering problem, and a political stalemate that needed to be broken loose.  It ended hours later over a thousand miles away with me playing football on a beach after jumping off a pier from about 25 feet and breaking my ankle in the sand.   I wrapped the ankle and continued playing football anyway under the moonlight next to the ocean.  We slept with a tent half constructed next to a harbor, and solved our problem over breakfast at a Burger King.  We returned to Cincinnati within 48 hours of leaving for our next meeting and solved all our problems with a fresh perspective.  Adventure is good for building wisdom.

There are hundreds of those types of stories, but most don’t involve the kind of elements seen in that Bud Light commercial.  The Panama City one did, which is the reason for the reference.  But all such adventures lead to the ability to have wisdom—something young people don’t have until it is developed.  At the end of his adventure in the Bud Light commercial Ian was wiser than was when he simply agreed to a girl in a bar to accept whatever happened next.  Adventure happens all the time to many people, and adventure builds wisdom—but before either can be obtained a person has to be willing to “say yes.”  Lucky for Ian, he did.  But you too Dear Reader can experience adventure in the strangest places and times.  All you have to do is, “say yes.

The History of Capitalism: A presentation from the Atlas Society

Due to much of the confusion that exsists about the economic nature of capitalism–as the progressive types have so rigorously attacked it, many do not understand what it even is.  So for those who do not understand capitalism, and for those who think they understand capitalism, yet still find themselves destructive agents of human doom I would like the present Guillermo Pineda who spoke at the Atlas Summit in 2012 in Washington D.C. — We hear all the time that “capitalism is the system that has shaped our world.” However, the fact that capitalism is a social system that has never existed in its full, perfect, and unregulated form is never mentioned. As Ayn Rand clearly stated, the only time in history in which we came close to a laissez-faire capitalist society was in the 19th century. The seminar explores the history of capitalism in the last 250 years. How did capitalism function in the past? Does it still exist today? What hope is there for the future? Part 2 looks at the assault against capitalism in the 20th century and considers where we find ourselves today.

Guillermo Pineda is a double degree MA global studies candidate at Leipzig University and Roskilde University. He founded the Center for the Study of Capitalism in Guatemala and has studied and promoted Objectivist philosophy for several years.  Now, grab a snack and enjoy listening to Pineda’s 2 part lesson on capitalism.
