Tax Masters Files for Bankruptcy: Justin Binik-Thomas speaks with Matt Clark

My good friend Matt Clark from the Clarkcast radio network had on another friend of mine, Justin Binik-Thomas–one of the original founding members of the Cincinnati Tea Party, on WAAM’s Sunday afternoon show. The reason for the discussion was a recent IRS request of a liberty group in the Cincinnati region that moved into new and dangerous territory by asking about family members and specific individuals on a questionnaire. In the case of this particular IRS inquiry it was Justin’s name that was brought up. Specifically a Tea Party group was asked to “Provide details regarding your relationship with Justin Binik-Thomas.” Click the video below to listen to this Gestapo type IRS harassment.

I covered Justin’s case in great detail at this previous article, CLICK HERE. In the video above and my previous article on Justin’s issues with the IRS we see the classic strong arming that goes on against the taxpayers by this oppressive tax collecting organization. So there isn’t any need to continue to brow beat it again. Because a new menace just revealed itself as this interview between Matt and Justin was taking place. On March 30th a Texas jury unanimously found the well-known and controversial tax advisory firm Tax Masters as well as founder Patrick Cox that the company used deceptive practices in a bid to lure customers and provide them IRS harassment relief and slapped Tax Masters with $195 million dollars in civil penalties. Cox is personally on the hook for nearly $46 million dollars.

Tax Masters was caught telling a potential customer who owes $19,000 in back taxes that they can get the payment down to “next to nothing” and said the company was 97 percent successful in these endeavors. Over the last couple of years I’ve watched the ads for Tax Masters and I wanted to believe they were fighting the good fight and helping people out. But unfortunately, the day before testimony began, Tax Masters filed for bankruptcy protection, which is a pretty good sign of guilt.

I personally know a few of the customers of Tax Masters and I know they are out of several thousand dollars now, as they were trying to satisfy tax problems that they probably shouldn’t have had. The tax code is so confusing, and full of parasitic opportunities for the thieves of our society that if a person inherits money from a death, does some work on the side for extra money but doesn’t claim it properly, or sells property without claiming the gains correctly, they could easily find themselves at the mercy of the IRS trolls looking for their take in the action. And this is where a group like Tax Masters seeks to pray off the troubles individuals are having with the IRS.

The IRS because of its bully nature has set society looking for other parasitic bullies to protect them from tax collectors, and often these parasitic bullies are just as corrupt. This leaves tax payers between one parasitic bully and another, both looking to rob the tax payer of their hard-earned money.

Tax Masters sadly looks to have performed a task that is even lower than the Gestapo tactics of the IRS. To take advantage of people who are already in trouble is deeply revolting and to sell the product as an ally to the realm of freedom fighting is proof that there are many perils that must be avoided. It’s also evidence that the ultimate fix for every single human being is in self-reliance. They should trust themselves and nobody else.

The enemy of our freedoms needs our buy-in to their parasitic nature. They need us to allow them to suck off our work, and spirit for their sustenance. This is in essence what is behind President Obama’s Health Care law—he needs every American to pay into it for it to work. Just as Social Security needs every American to pay into it so money can be dispersed. And in our schools, progressives need every property owner to buy into their government schools for the math to work. And in taxes, the IRS needs every American to pay the maximum amount of tax possible to fund the huge wealth redistribution programs the government has created and to make sure that happens the IRS will apply whatever pressure necessary to get their money, just like the mob. I don’t see any difference.

With all this policing power the IRS has to get their money they have far-reaching power into our lives, and can—and do target political enemies, which is how Justin got pulled into this mess with Tea Parties and their tax status since many Tea Party organizations take donations to pay for small expenses. This gives the IRS power over even these volunteer groups and allows them to harass individuals and groups just for knowing someone who is on their “target” list.

Sadly it was companies like Tax Masters who took money from clients to protect people from this tyranny, and as it has turned out, many people jumped out of the frying pan and into the skillet to be cooked by Tax Masters out of fear of being eaten by the IRS.

People like President Obama speaks a lot about “fairness” and “equality” among the America population, but it is politicians like him who have created the need for an IRS to steal money from the American people and give it to their bloc voting groups. And it’s this system that has put some people into the position of possible jail sentences, crippling fines, and unproductive stints to protect themselves from such an overreaching agency designed to wrestle away every last dime they can. But inadvertently these same politicians are responsible for creating fraudulent companies like Tax Masters since those organizations are essentially doing the same thing the government is, and that’s offering a service in exchange for money given to them, then defaulting completely on the promises they made. The only difference between the criminal activity of Tax Masters and Obama’s commitment to Solendra is that one writes the law and the other feeds off the laws tyranny. But to my eyes, they are both the same.

As to Tax Masters turning out to be complete crooks, well, they did say the were former IRS agents.  What should we have expected?

Oh–you want more proof?  You think I’m kidding you?  You think all this is a conspiracy, because the knowledge is not convenient?  Then read what’s at the link below and you’ll see how it was all set up in 1958 to create the world we are finding ourselves dealing with today.  I’ve made it easy for you.  All you have to do is look for yourself. 

Obama is Proven a Fake: The step by step process of how the White House did it

If there was any doubt that a political Shadow Party is fully functioning out in the open all one had to do was look at the ads the Obama Administration put out during the Final Four games on prime time television. (To review what a Shadow Party is click here) With over a billion dollars of donations in the Obama re-election campaign who can produce ads like the one you see below, and daily pound their message through email networks and other avenues, there is no question that the people who support Obama for re-election have a very vested interest in his maintaining his position in the White House.

That ad is of course aimed at the diluted masses, the impatient consumer who just wants someone to take care of the worlds problems so they can watch basketball and go out to eat. So the target audience for that ad won’t do much investigation into the real troubles surrounding the Obama presidency. These are the types of people the Shadow Party targets in their social reform desires implemented through people like Barack Obama, and many other media figures.

But the reality behind ads such as the one seen above is that Barack Obama has caused many of his own problems with his socialist policies. His superiors in the Shadow Party–who finance his campaign–count on a majority of the American people to not look too closely at the real economic factors that surround the Shadow Party’s commitment to progressive socialism. The hope is that by the time people figure out what’s going on, it will be too late. The Shadow Party counts on Obama to sell his way back into office by “twisting” the truth enough to win another election, and maintain the agenda of the Shadow Party. Glenn Beck does a wonderful job in this next clip of disputing the diffusion the Obama administration is employing to hide their guilt in the terrible economic situation that progressive politics has given to the United States.

Most salesmen caught in a lie, will attempt to squander the truth and reshape it magically with terminology and antics they hope will fly above the head of the people they are trying to convince. Obama is a salesman who does this type of thing all the time. I think he’s so good at it that he believes his own misstatements, such as in this next clip also from Glenn Beck’s radio show.

Recently CBS did a report on a sheriff’s department that revealed that President Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii was indeed a fake, after trying to prove that it was real. The Obama birther issue is a topic that has created a lot of trouble. First off—Obama is the first president to have such trouble. The Constitution is very specific about the eligibility of a United States President having to be born in the United States. This is such a serious situation that the Republicans encountered several road blocks when they wanted to run Arnold Schwarzenegger for president before he ran for Governor of California, but couldn’t because he was born in Austria, and had to give up. But the progressive left wanted Barack Obama for many reasons, and they apparently didn’t care whether he was born in the United States or not. Obama’s citizenship has one of two problems, he was either born in another country, or he was born in the United States and lost his citizenship when his step-father was called back to Indonesia where little Obama had to attend public school and later applied to American colleges under foreign student status. So Obama’s birth certification is very important to his eligibility to be president. Now, the most recent report is that the birth certificate that Obama produced to smash down the claims from Donald Trump that Obama was not a United States citizen and never was, has turned out to be a fake. And the Obama administration is doing exactly what they are doing with the energy policy shown above–they are hoping to “glaze” over the whole situation and tell people what they are seeing–they really aren’t.

This should be deeply disconcerting. Glenn Beck, who along with many others does not want to get caught in the “birther” trap that the progressive left has set, and spend too much time on this whole issue—the eligibility of the president. All practical people know that the senate does not have the 60 votes to impeach a sitting president, and there is not a will by anyone in the political system to actually follow the law, because that would be an admission that everything President Obama has done over the last 3 and a half years has been illegal, and that would really cause trouble. So Beck and many others have agreed to overlook the issue as a distraction because the progressive left has captured the public opinion debate.

This is the work of that Shadow Party I’ve been talking about. When Obama says that the country has far more important things to consider than the validity of his birth certificate, it must be noted that Obama has no interest in preserving the Constitution as it is written. He believes it’s a fluid document that should constantly be adjusted, and he has no trouble making up his own rules as he goes, so to him obtaining the American Presidency illegally is no big deal. His supporters in the Shadow Party have a plan to crush the American Constitution anyway, so it means nothing to them if they trample upon it. All they have to do is buy time, as they have so far.

Before Obama ever became president this should have been a big deal. He should have had to prove eligibility of being a natural-born citizen before being placed on a ballot in each state. But the Shadow Party had it all worked out. If anyone questioned Obama’s eligibility they were called a racist, and nobody wanted to be called that. So everyone just let the issue slide by without a fight. The progressive left uses the same strategy when proposing tax increases for schools. They will call you selfish, or a child hater if you don’t agree to a higher tax. And in politics on the highest stage the Shadow Party had the rules already laid out ahead of time with their activity in the civil rights movement. The Shadow Party made it so illegal activity could be pushed through in the light of day in front of everyone’s faces. If a challenger emerged they would be called the “R” word. This strategy has paralyzed the law, and public opinion, and allowed crimes to be committed out in the open.

So now we have proof that there is something very wrong with President Obama’s birth certificate. We know his administration has a tendency to manipulate the facts in his favor as shown by the way he presents his energy policy, and they count on people being too busy to look too closely at the facts. And we now have this president seeking re-election under the same convoluted status. We also have three branches of government and an entire judicial system, with a journalism corps that lacks any desire to hold the president to the fundamental requirement to be President of the United States, the ability to prove that he is a natural-born citizen without millions of dollars spent defending his position and fake documents presented. There is no desire to hold the President to the law of the Constitution and the Shadow Party has made it this way by proclaiming any inquiry into the President’s citizenship is a side-show act and is distracting to the country’s business. And the masses believe it. Anyone who questions the president’s citizenship is called the derogatory name of “birther.” When in fact such a question is perfectly justified and should be required to be proven before any state in the nation puts Barack Obama on a ballot for President of the United States.

But what good is a law on a piece of paper if a majority of the legislators and even the president himself ignores it? A law ignored and unenforced is ineffective. The precedent established by this current president means that any one from any country in the future can be President of the United States if enough people want them—to hell with the Constitution. That’s why this is a serious situation and every politician who treats the “birther” issue lightly could be assumed to be either members of the Shadow Party, or victims of it.

My response to this whole “birther” issue is that if the laws of the Constitution don’t mean anything to this president and his legislative counterparts, then why should I honor any law any of those fools put down on paper. Why should I pay any attention to the NDAA Act, or the President’s multiple Executive Orders?

History will prove later that Obama was a foreign resident who most likely lost his citizenship due to acts beyond his control, and it will be revealed that he is technically–in 2012, an illegal president–and everything he has done in office is illegal as well. So why should I pay attention to any of it? Why should I obey laws that these politicians don’t? They aren’t my kings, my nobles, or my superiors. They are my public servants, and it looks like they are habitual liars and thieves, and the words they utter mean nothing—so what compels me to listen? To believe them?

If the president will mislead the public with his record over energy just so he can deflect the attention away from his failed policies during his presidency, what do you think he’d be willing to do over a more serious issue, such as proving his citizenship? When Sheriff Joe Arpaio goes on CBS television and proclaims to the world that he has proven that the birth certificate President Obama submitted is a fake, and the president’s people put up no better defense than to proclaim that it’s a sideshow act—then something is amiss. Something deeply troubling, even sinister is afoot. And it’s not the world that we see that is pulling the strings, but the Shadow Party that speaks, leaving people like the Sheriff in awe over how corrupt our system of government already is. And when it is realized that the laws of our land mean nothing, and that the people we elect to represent our interests are only slaves to a Shadow Party beyond our control, then we have a major problem on our hands that needs to be rectified. And it won’t be solved by playing fair while they work against us hiding behind the law and misleading the truth through smiles and magic tricks.

And the president’s birth certificate is a magic trick and a direct attempt to mislead the public.  When the president was born, there weren’t any computers to make a birth certificate.  It had to be typed, and stamped the old-fashioned way–then scanned into an archive format.   That’s not what happened with the Obama birth certificate produced in April of 2011.  Looks like Donald Trump was right.

Oh–you want more proof?  You think I’m kidding you?  You think all this is a conspiracy, because the knowledge is not convenient?  Then read what’s at the link below and you’ll see how it was all set up in 1958 to create the world we are finding ourselves dealing with today.  I’ve made it easy for you.  All you have to do is look for yourself.

12% of American Millionaires are Educrats: The organized crime of public education

I have been saying for quite some time in my local school district of Lakota that the wages need to be cut from the educrats so that a balanced budget can be reached. But this is the case of virtually every single public school and college in America. Educrats are enjoying extremely high incomes because their labor unions have a monopoly over their field. Educrats have no competition so they can charge whatever they want for their service, and since the money isn’t even obtained on the free market, but stolen from the tax payers property values it should come as no surprise that educators make up 12% of Americas millionaires today. To see how much money Lakota educrats make CLICK HERE.

To see how much money per hour the typical educrats at Lakota make CLICK HERE. It’s a lot more than the people who are paying the taxes that’s for sure. Educrats now make more than attorneys, doctors, SR. Executives and sales people in the percentage of millionaires in America. I know of a few in my school district and without question you know of some in yours. When a school demands they have a need for a new tax levy, it’s to fulfill the needs of their millionaire employees, not the needs of the community—or the children they service.

In my own district I have put the contract of our school superintendent online so everyone could see how much she makes as a public servant. (CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF) She makes more than the governor of Ohio for doing a lot less managing. Heck, she only has control of 20% of her budget, which is why they are always asking for more money. The other 80% is controlled by the union monopoly and is paying nearly 40% of their workforce over 65K per year!

The educrats will say that the tax money goes to the children in their class rooms, but I’ve seen otherwise. The money goes toward public relations firms to twist the arm of the community for tax increase support. CLICK HERE FOR A FINE EXAMPLE AT LAKOTA. The money goes to payoffs, cover-ups, and job search firms. CLICK HERE FOR ANOTHER EXAMPLE. But most of the money goes to educrats so that they can become statistical millionaires by the time all their wages, health benefits, vacation time, and sick days are added up. And every bit of that money is stolen from the community in schemes of extortion.

In Lakota, like most school districts, such as Princeton who has an average wage of almost $70K per year for their educrats, or Little Miami, Mt. Healthy, or Forest Hills who just passed a levy–the voter is ignored unless the school gets their tax increase. In Lebanon they turned down their levy in the spring of 2011 but put it right back on in November that same year where it passed. A small army of educrat thugs infected the community with intimidation, harassment, and vandalism of campaign signs to get the numbers to swing back in favor of the school. This goes on everywhere. CLICK HERE TO SEE MY EXAMPLES AT LAKOTA. If a voter turns down a tax increase the educrat thugs since they have a monopoly over education puts the tax back on the ballot again and again and again until it passes.

The public education system is one of the biggest scams currently in the country. It’s certainly not about Friday night football and basketball. A majority of the students are victims of this education monopoly and find themselves ill prepared for the real world once they graduate, so the education system is hardly a model of excellence. It only exists for the same reason the mob exists, and that is to make money. Educrats don’t truly care what’s good for the community otherwise they wouldn’t charge so much for their service. They certainly don’t care for children otherwise they would never threaten to walk off the job for higher pay, like what happened at Lakota in 2008. They care about becoming millionaires off the looted money the public sends to these schools as payoffs—just like hush money paid to the mob.

I’ll say it again—if you vote for a school levy you’re stupid. If you blindly support educrats who put forth a very controlled public persona by tossing money at them hoping it will all just make kids magically smart and prepared for life, you are kidding yourself. All you’re doing is supporting a monopoly that is making its employees millionaires. And you’re doing it off your hard work, off the value of your property, and off the back of your own children. You are in essence doing no different from what thousands of businesses have done with the mob—gave them money so that they don’t attempt to hurt you. That is how these educrats have gotten so wealthy. They didn’t get that way by providing a superior service, or by being the best at what they do. They got that way by eliminating any competition, and putting the hurt on anyone who challenges them.

People do not correlate the mobster with the educrat because the educrat looks like a nice person. They wear a suit and tie, and speak well in face to face meetings. We tend to think of the mobster as carrying around a machine gun and sporting a scar on their faces. But in reality, the typical educrat acts, thinks, and believes no different from the typical mobster. They think nothing of stealing from the world around them no matter what the impact is to those who are stolen from. It doesn’t matter if the talk is around a back room table over whiskey playing cards as we might imagine with the mob, or over lattés while reading USA Today with a group of like-minded assassins not wanting to kill people, but personalities who stand in their way. They are all thugs because they steal from others to gain for themselves. And they maintain the monopolies of “their turf” in the same fashion.

The latte sipping assassins are actually worse than the mobster because they “believe” they are right. They believe they are granted moral permission to embark on a holy crusade at the expense of the world around them. And they believe these things because they are serving a system that is producing more millionaires than any other employment group in the United States. And they do it using the same tactics as a crime syndicate. They use their latte sipping prostitutes to do their dirty work for them, to carry out the maniacal deeds of stealing money from their communities with batted eyes and perked up lips and pleas to not hurt the children with poor funding.

If you vote for a school levy, this is the system you are supporting. This is what is happening to the money you are sending. It’s going into the bank account of a millionaire—while you struggle to pay your mortgage, or decide if you can take your family out to a restaurant to eat. While you try to figure out if you can afford gas, these educrats are living high on the hog and planning their exotic summer long vacations with money they stole from you, by twisting your arm any way possible to get the loot. That’s why if you vote for a school levy–you are stupid. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE SITUATION. You are simply making another millionaire.

Oh–you want more proof?  You think I’m kidding you?  You think all this is a conspiracy, because the knowledge is not convenient?  Then read what’s at the link below and you’ll see how it was all set up in 1958 to create the world we are finding ourselves dealing with today.  I’ve made it easy for you.  All you have to do is look for yourself.

If You Organize a Boycott You’re Evil: The insantiy behind group manipulation

One of the most troubling realities that I have seen behind the school levy push in my local neighborhood is one that translates out into the larger tapestry of national politics, the tendency of the advocates of higher taxes to believe that every human being is compelled to assimilate with their needs and desires. The most common enforcement method of this assimilation is the boycott as it is perpetuated by the radicals of a political idea. In my school system this has been a common threat. You can hear how a local real estate agent and her group of pro levy organizers threatened to organize a boycott against a radio station by CLICKING HERE. You can also see one of the most recent examples where a pro levy supporter sent a letter to the corporate headquarters of a local restaurant advocating a boycott because the owner did not support higher taxes upon themselves. If you read the letter closely notice how the boycott advocate suggests that because the restaurant employees “at least one Lakota student” that the restaurant it has an “obligation” to blindly support a tax increase no matter what the financial reality of the situation. This is the mentality that we are dealing with behind boycotts.

Every human being has a choice as to whether or not they elect to partake in a service or not. So a boycott on a personal level is a perfectly understandable thing. The trouble begins when collective minded beings with their warped sense of values decide to bring economic hardship to an organization so to coerce that organization into behaving “properly.” And the proper behavior is determined by the “group” advocating the boycott. In the case of the person sending the letter to the restaurant they act under the assumption that the children of the school district are “state property” and that all children who attend the school are to be protected by their version of reality—in this case—property of the school and their fight to keep the school funded at the level they decide. There are many flaws in this thinking. The first of which is that children are not “property” of the state, or school. Children and their families are sovereign individuals and are not compelled into action by any government organization—especially a school. This argument is made well by this video by the Ayn Rand Institute.

Anyone who mutters the word “boycott” in an attempt to control massive group behavior is a villain to society. It does not matter if they are your friends, your neighbors or your babysitter, they are still villains. If a person advocates a boycott they are attempting a military maneuver against an entity, and that is considered an act of war by any definition. The person who advocated a boycott of the restaurant above was committing an evil act of aggression. The people involved in the radio station situation at the link above committed evil against the station. Anytime a group gathers in force to attempt economic pain to an individual or an organization they are practicing extortion against the personal sovereignty of the attacked.

The boycott advocate believes that they are “right” in a matter and that their action against someone who disagrees with them is to bring pain so that the behavior will change. That is extortion. It is an act of aggression. But how can anyone know that the boycott advocate I right? If they were right, then wouldn’t others arrive at their same conclusions naturally?

The boycotter is often wrong in their thinking, so they must rely on economic extortion in order to get dissidents to participate in their erroneous thinking. The boycotter is attempting to take the rational conclusions of the dissident and alter them into a collective buy-off done by arm twisting and peer pressure applied by group behavior. This is not done out of respect for the thoughts of the target. It is done to force the target to comply to the thoughts of the attacker.

To refer back to the restaurant, the owner did not support a tax increase by the school. So the intent of the letter was to force corporate ownership to apply pressure on the local owner to alter the owner’s opinion through economic terrorism. It didn’t matter if the owner did not agree with the tax increase. All that mattered was that the owner becomes convinced through pressure to change their mind. This is the essence behind the boycott.

In this same community the voters have voted down tax increases 3 times in a two-year period. The community spoke. However, levy advocates do not care that 18,000 voters said no and only 16,000 said yes. The boycotter seeks to change the numbers by attacking 2000 of those voters to and gain leverage on them be it emotional, economic, or perhaps even physical so the next time the vote comes around then they will win the vote by forcing at least 2000 more to voters their way through fear alone.

If a group feels that it must apply extortive pressure through the use of a boycott, it’s a good sign that the content of their idea is a bad one. In the case of the tax levy of my community, if a majority thought it was the right thing to do, they would have voted in favor. In effect the voters who voted the tax increase down had a boycott of their own, and refused to give money to an organization that did not match the values of the community. However, these boycott advocates do not respect those opinions. They believe incorrectly that the children they are “fighting” for are members of the state. They believe that once a child is born from its mother that the child becomes “community property.” (They believe this as a result of their actions even if they don’t say it with their mouths) So the boycott advocates decide to take up a holy crusade on behalf of the children to fill the emptiness of their thoughts which is why they are evil. They are functioning from a faulty political position made so by the weakness of their argument and failure at the ballot box, and resort to boycotts to change minds with the next vote.

A good person is that way because they have thoughts and actions unique to their personal sovereignty. They become bad if they assimilate with a group pack mentality that is wrong, and if they compromise their personal feelings to join with a group in mass. The boycotter is attempting to make a wrong idea right through massive group participation. They believe that if enough people believe something, then suddenly the wrong idea will become fashionable and therefore good.

Many crimes against humanity have been done in this fashion. Religions do it to each other, businesses do it to each other, and politicians do it to each other. Just because it is widely practiced does not make it good or right. It simply means that there are a lot of people functioning from psychotic behavior. It is their broken, distorted versions of reality that are at fault, and they cannot be allowed to inflict their incoherent visions upon the sane just because they can organize a boycott.

Boycotts are conceived by the psychotic schizophrenic who is functioning by many different impulses, just because they look sane from a distance and dress like everyone else it does not make them correct. The psychotic in an attempt to avoid their illness, their broken understanding of reality—in the example above, that all children are members of the state—will attempt group consensus to camouflage their foolishness. They will seek to pull the whole world down upon their heads to protect their faulty ideas from being discovered in the light of day. They will stop at nothing to work the world into their reality instead of the reality of reasonable thinking human beings driving their actions.

This is why such people are dangerous. This is why they are evil. The boycotter seeks to impose their beliefs upon the world around them and they have no respect or sympathy for those who differ from them. If they cannot convince the world of the merit of their ideas though facts, conversation, or emotional pleas, then they resort to extortion—the boycott—if agreement cannot be reached as they see it. They fully intend to bring pain to those who disagree with them. That is the message behind the boycott. And that is the type of personality behind the boycotter, a broken human being who wishes to make the world into their image. A refuge of the small little insanities contained within their distorted principles is reflected in the desire for a boycott. The heart of their folly is the belief that they can make something wrong, correct if enough people are “convinced” to think their way—that if a group can be manipulated into believing something they individually do not, then wrong ideas will be made valid just by the sheer number of opinions cast in their direction. And such an idea could only be conceived by those with distorted perceptions of reality functioning from a derelict philosophic position. This is why my quick term for them is latte sipping prostitutes because there really isn’t much difference if you sit them down in a chair and get them talking. The rationale tends to be similar once the onion is peeled away to reveal the mess that is inside their heads. And to hide that mess not just from the world, but from themselves, they often resort to boycotts.

Oh–you want more proof?  You think I’m kidding you?  You think all this is a conspiracy, because the knowledge is not convenient?  Then read what’s at the link below and you’ll see how it was all set up in 1958 to create the world we are finding ourselves dealing with today.  I’ve made it easy for you.  All you have to do is look for yourself.

Educrats and Public Schools are Useless: Revelations from The New York Post

One of the reasons I dislike government schools so much, especially now that I’ve had the opportunity to see how they function up close, is that they are turning our children into veal—mush minded, overly-compassionate- gray minded slugs. Government schools, otherwise known as “public schools” are advancing progressive politics and have become overly sensitive to political correctness and they’ve done it with money they’ve stolen from us in the form of property taxes. For a bizarre example of one fine case of just such a story check out this New York Post story from Yoav Gonen.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/out_of_the_question_YegJJGCOo33j0CQsccdZuL

I love Yoav’s use of the word “educrats,” which is entirely appropriate to these times of political correctness. The sum of the tragedy discussed in the New York Post article is that schools can no longer discuss in class references to religion, dinosaurs, Halloween, poverty, wealth, junk food, dancing, divorces, or diseases. There are of course many more terms that cannot be discussed in schools these days, but those are just some of the examples mentioned in the article. The emphasis in education now is to not offend anyone, to make it so everyone has a pleasant experience and that every child understands the merits of “social justice,” so that they will grow up to become nice little tree hugging hippies and slack-jawed patrons at their local sports bar.

When I was a child we spent our recesses pretending to shoot at each other with toy guns that we made out of combs, sticks or even pencils. These days, a child can’t even make the shape of a gun with their hand. Government schools are out-of-control with pretentiousness run by neurotic malcontents serving a clientele that is even worse. And between these adult groups of politically correct, progressive loving ambassadors are the poor children who spend their spare time playing games like Halo, and Call of Duty at home, but find their experience in the government schools to be stifling with overly sensitive politics. If schools can’t teach kids anything useful, then why do we send children to them? Why do we spend so much money on education institutions?

Government schools are functioning along the premise that accreditation has value in the future. The educrats believe that the world will need all the nurses, software engineers, lawyers and doctors that we have now. I even heard so much at a recent school board meeting in my neighborhood where the superintendent swore that the medical industry was where the future was, and that their school needed to fill those market needs. But—the world is changing. We have too many lawyers now. Some of the most brilliant software engineers are computer hackers who possess skills that schools don’t teach, and the future of medicine will not need more doctors and nurses. The future of medicine is in regenerative medicine. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CURE FOR CANCER. The superintendent didn’t mention anything about the changing technology that will completely transform all these occupations. So what is all the education worth?

When I was in school I took computer classes learning how to program a very primitive Apple Computer. Within four years Bill Gates was mass marketing Microsoft Software that completely made useless everything I learned in two years of computer classes. That information is only good for a nostalgic understanding of how computers think, but it would do me no good for programming a modern computer. The same could be said of foreign language classes—who needs them? If we want kids to learn a foreign language why would we force children to take two years in high school when they could spend 6 months with Rosetta Stone Software and become proficient in another language in a quarter of the time? There are literally hundreds of similar examples of how education could be improved, yet we are continuing to waste the time of our youth because of some strange nostalgic affection with the past.

Government schools headed by “educrats” aren’t producing geniuses like Albert Einstein, or Thomas Edison. They are making activists like Bill Ayers and Barack Obama. They are breeding future union protestors and kids who spend their entire weekends drunk and clueless. That is what happens when educrats teach kids. The kids aren’t allowed to learn about anything because everything has become too political in the government schools, and nothing can be discussed out of sensitivity to “social justice.”

So why is society so hell-bent on a public education? Do parents just want baby-sitters for their children? Why do government schools run by unions want a monopoly on education—so they can drive up the costs? Because the kids coming out of public education aren’t exactly lighting up the world with new inventions and political genius. What is the appeal, because I see almost nothing that makes a government school essential to the life of a child?

Think about it. Why should society send children to a government school? What are the benefits? Because I don’t see any. I hear a lot of talk from schools who want money, and unions who want control about how valuable they are, but how can they be valuable when all they seem able to teach children is how to believe in global warming, and how to be an activist.

I would have gone insane in public school if I couldn’t pretend to shoot at my classmates in games of cowboys and Indians during recess. If not for the fun of running and hiding behind trees and playground props there may have been nothing positive to come out of public school for me. I can’t imagine being a kid now where they can’t even do that. Heck, they can’t even say “Indian,” they must now say, “Native American.”

Government schools have made themselves extinct. There is no modern use for them. The only real benefit they seem to have is as social institutions where kids interact with other kids. But as far as building up the intellect of students—I don’t see it—and I’ve been looking. The accreditation a child receives means almost nothing in a world that is changing so fast, that what is learned today will be out-of-fashion within a few years. It’s the core stuff that children need to learn—all the stuff mentioned in the New York Post article—that can no longer be discussed. And with that in mind, what’s the point of spending $10,000 per pupil of tax money on a system that doesn’t work? Because it makes us feel like we’re doing something? If so, where are the results? Where’s the proof? What is the reason to continue on in the same fashion without serious reform?

The real answers to education are outside of the government schools run by educrats. The sooner we decide to cast those progressive activists out of our lives, the sooner we can actually begin to solve some of our modern problems. And for me, I would start with introducing competition to the education process, so schools couldn’t play it safe by dumbing down their instruction to fit some “social justice” model that is unwanted, but would actually have to teach so that the customer—the parents—would want to keep their child in the school by choice, not by force. The answers are in choices, not more educrats, political correctness, and government schools. CLICK HERE FOR MORE EXAMPLES OF HOW EDUCATION SHOULD BE.

The Cult of Compromise: Shades of gray and a long list of taxes

If you want proof that politicians are a sleazy, manipulative bunch, all you have to do is listen to the open mic comments President Obama made recently to the outgoing Russian President in South Korea.

But why are they like this? Why are politicians universally perceived as corrupt? Well, I got a taste of why during my recent contentious week of politicking when a group of progressive thinking levy supporters tried to paint me as a sexist because of comments I made here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom. The panic from these groups appears to have been triggered by their intention to pass tax increases for our school district, and they thought that by removing me, it would shut down the tax resistance to their objectives. I heard from many of them as they gloated at my peril, or what they thought was peril, and they revealed much about their mentality which I have no doubt they share with President Obama.

One of the most shocking things said to me during the last week was that I was wrong for seeing the world in “black and white” and that the world was actually made up of shades of gray. In fact, that was the number one criticism of me by the mob of pro tax levy supporters—that I was too black and white for them, and that’s not the way the world works.

Well, I have news for those people and everyone else for that matter. Gray is not a decision. It’s a compromise where good surrenders something it has to evil. There are always right and wrong answers. There is such a thing as good and evil. And black and white are different colors.

When someone says they are in the middle of the road, or they see life in shades of gray they are essentially declaring that they are surrendering a portion of their decision-making ability to the collective mind of society. They trust society to make decisions for them. And individuals who make decisions outside the parameter of social consciousness are then called radicals. Being called a radical is the type of term a group uses to disqualify the statements of an individual who is more black or white than the group decides is comfortable. I am often termed as being a radical by these “gray” thinkers.

However, in any negotiation of any kind if equal value is not exchanged from one party to the other, then the party who gave away more than they should have would be said to have gotten a “bad deal.” When the “good” people who self generate and have intentions that are pure and non corrosive to the world around them, continuously produce “value,” even if the value is monetary or spiritual, or some other variation. Then evil are the parasites of existence, those who need to take from the “good” in order to live. They cannot self-sustain themselves and require the looting of the good in order to advance their lives, even for basic items. Evil must find ways to convince the good to give them something. The good does not need to ask evil for anything, because they already have it. So evil seeks to degrade those around them so there are always willing traders they can scam for their sustenance.

This is what has created the modern Cult of Compromise, it’s where the good are sustaining the life of evil as the good has been convinced that in so doing they are being “compassionate.” And since compassion is “good” then helping evil live is doing the right thing. That is by the definition established by the Cult of Compromise which was written by those who are most evil.

This is where my critics get upset with me—they require me to buy into their definition of compassion in order to force me to act in accordance with their needs, which is they want something from me. In the case of my community, they want me to pay taxes to a school I disagree with so they can have a more affordable form of education or day care for their children. If everyone in the community chips in some money, it brings down the cost of education for those who have children in the district. So those who desire public education require me to buy into their values of “compassion” and to compromise on my beliefs so that they can have what they desire—cheap education for their child.

But since I question the validity of public education and the costs of it, then I am dangerous to those who think with a looter mindset. The looter is one who wishes to take from me something I do not receive in equal value. So in the negotiation process, I will be giving more, so my full participation is required by the parasitic entity. That is why those who function this way are considered evil, even if they believe themselves to be good. Their definition of good has been determined by the gray color of compromise. Mine has been defined by the black and white definition of good and evil—contributor or parasitic entity.

This process of attempting to inject “compromise” into blurring the lines between good and evil, right and wrong started in this country a 100 years ago as progressivism came from politicians who adored the European concept. These progressive socialites looked down their nose at the simple mindedness of the typical American back then–the way the modern progressive does—by chastising Americans who think in black and white terms as simpletons, to discourage those simpletons from refusing to give the looters of life a seat at the table. It was these fools who created the Cult of Compromise and below you can see the result of their actions. The list you are about to see is a list of the various forms of taxation that has been imposed upon American society, all initiated with the looter mentality under the guise of “compromise.” As you read this list consider that all these taxes were created within the last 100 years. Think of all the hands that are in your pockets, in your every productive activity, in your goodness. Think how much good you could do in your life if you did not have to pay these taxes to the looters of the Cult of Compromise. Think how much more money you’d have for food, for savings, for your retirements, your kids, your grandkids, your mothers and fathers…….yourself!

Building Permit Tax
CDL License Tax
Cigarette Tax
Corporate Income Tax
Dog License Tax
Federal Income Tax (Fed)
Federal Unemployment Tax (FU TA)
Fishing License Tax
Food License Tax
Fuel Permit Tax
Gasoline Tax
Hunting License Tax
Inheritance Tax
Inventory Tax
IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax)
IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax)
Liquor Tax
Luxury Tax
Marriage License Tax
Medicare Tax
Property Tax
Real Estate Tax
Service charge Taxes
Social Security Tax
Road Usage Tax (Truckers)
Sales Taxes
Recreational Vehicle Tax
School Tax
State Income Tax
State Unemployment Tax (SUTA)
Telephone Federal Excise Tax
Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax
Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Tax
Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax
Telephone Recurring and Non-recurringCharges Tax
Telephone State and Local Tax
Telephone Usage ChargeTax
Utility Tax
Vehicle License Registration Tax
Vehicle Sales Tax
Watercraft Registration Tax
Well Permit Tax
Workers Compensation Tax

Each of those taxes was the creation of a “compromise” between a “looter” and a “producer.” It is because of all that revenue generated in all those different ways that average people are taxed to the point of numbness. They don’t even realize the imposition upon their lives. They just assume that because they’ve been told in the Cult of Compromise that each of us were born into, that everything is gray, that the good needs the bad and the bad needs the good and everybody must help each other and pass no judgment. So nobody considers the reality, which is the bad needs the good, but the good do not need the bad. By helping the bad, the good become less so—they become gray—middle of the road.

And this is where President Obama found himself in South Korea. As a looter, he has nothing to offer to those around him. He does not even have thoughts of his own to contribute to the world. He must take information from others, then make those others believe that they shared the exchange due to the Cult of Compromise. Obama asks if Russia will give him “some space” in dealing with the missile issue of Europe while Obama runs for his reelection. Obama is asking that if the Russians leave him alone, then the President will be in a position to help the Russians once he’s elected back into office.

Obama is acting as the classic politician. He starts with nothing, but makes deals with all sides using compromise to give the appearance that he actually holds equal negotiating power. But in reality, he has nothing, and allows himself to be played at the expense of the American tax payer. Obama is a looter, a parasite. He requires that Russia give him something, “peace” so that he can then return the favor later, “a promise” once he’s president again. But if Obama does not become president again, what does he lose? Nothing. Russia losses because they delayed their aggression by request of a looter in hopes of getting a favor later. If Obama loses the election, Obama has lost nothing in his deal with Russia. But Russia losses opportunity.

This is why what Obama did feels wrong. This is how we ended up with so many taxes, because thousands and thousands of politicians over the last 100 years made deals much like what Obama is attempting to do with the Russians, and when it came time to pay for the favors, it was the tax payers who paid the money with the creation of a new tax. It’s for this reason that politicians think nothing of giving away billions of dollars to another country for aid, or for financial bailouts—because they don’t understand the value of the money or where it comes from. It’s also why a local school board makes deals with their labor unions that cost them to operate in a deficit by the millions hoping to use the Cult of Compromise to convince the tax payers to bail them out of the fix they made for themselves.

The Cult of Compromise is evil. It leads to degradation and is the antithesis of prosperity. Those who advocate compromise—who speak of seeing the world in shades of gray are simple looters who have accepted little bits of evil—of incorrect answers in favor of compassion. What they fail to realize is that those who contribute most, those who think, create, and produce must produce much, much more than they need to in order to carry all the looters on their backs. That is why we have so many taxes as shown above. Each one of those taxes was created by a deal like what Obama attempted to make with the Russians—a looter negotiation. And over time they have added up to the point where we all must work much harder for much longer to pay for all the debts the looters in the Cult of Compromise have negotiated away on our behalf. In the end, the looters lose nothing, but gain much, because they did nothing to make anything in the first place. It’s those who actually do things who carry the whole load. They are the ones who suffer because they are good, and trying to allow the truly bad to believe they are equals in a Cult of Compromise is the advancement of an evil that defy all those who think in shades of gray.

The Rock Island Line: Why gas costs so much

It might be because my first moments as a baby were to sleep within 20 feet of a railroad track, but there are few noises that appeal more to me then the sound of a train running on a hard steel track. To this day as my window is open to the spring air the distant sound of a train roaming across the countryside sends me into a deep and blissful sleep. I enjoy the sound of a train so much that I have an hour-long recording of various steam engines and diesels running that I play on my iPod often.

But why? Why does the sound of a train have so much appeal? And why do some think the clamor of them is noisy, and being held up by them on roadways is inconvenient? Well, I have a theory, but I will say that for me the closest thing to a religious experience on earth has been to be in the front of the line of traffic on my motorcycle in the pouring rain as lighting was striking all around me at 3 AM in the morning and to watch a large train go by as it’s rumble shook the road beneath my feet.

I would say that people who don’t like trains are the same who are the tree hugging hippies, the capitalist haters, the school levy advocates, the welfare recipients, the drug induced derelicts, the communists, the latte sipping prostitutes, the haters of manufacturing, in short, those who do not understand how something gets from one place to the other. These are also the same types who are directly responsible for gas that is over $4 per gallon, because they have belittled the techniques that make energy cheap and affordable for everyone. They have artificially driven up the cost of energy because of their deficit understanding of the forces that move the world.

Such is the case with my good friend Matt Clark in a broadcast over just this very topic–why fuel costs so much and how things came to be this way. The high costs are a result of lack of competition, over regulation, short-sighted political philosophy, and an intentional desire to destroy what makes America the greatest country on earth.

To see how far we’ve fallen when compared to the types mentioned above who simply hate trains, it is important to understand the role that trains played in making America such a great nation built on innovation and tenacity. The train itself came to represent American will as the nation grew. The steam engine and the 1000 HP locomotives built our nation.

For Christmas this year my wife bought me a DVD set featuring over 43 train documentaries and one of my favorites in the series was the Rock Island Line episode called The Wheels of Progress. Upon watching it I felt like an archeologist who had uncovered the American past and was able to see it for the first time in years. You can see this documentary below as I watched it just a few days ago. It represents everything I love about trains and why. Upon viewing, notice how the documentary is presented. Notice how the family eating their meal is portrayed. Notice the emphasis on productivity and innovation. It is because of everything mentioned in this documentary that I find trains to this very day refreshing, life-sustaining, even religious.

The irresponsibility of our modern culture to throw off all the values seen in that video has been a reckless attack on the most wonderful culture to ever call itself human. To allow in such a short time ourselves to apologize to other nations for being so good at manufacturing, at invention, at enterprise, and wealth building, has been the same mentality that has allowed us to choke off all those technological innovations in favor of socialism and the limits that come with such political philosophies centered around “fairness” which is a cleaver disguise by the lazy to justify their parasitic behavior.

Those modern minded people who look at trains as a nuisance to be avoided, and who close their windows at night so they don’t have to hear them are the same who are destroying this country of everything that is good about it. They destroy it because they don’t appreciate how their food comes to their table, how the gas gets to their cars, or how the power comes to their televisions. They allow their pretentiousness rooted in ignorance to cast giggles at how out of fashion traditional American values are.

They look at old clips like the one below with Johnny Cash and Roy Clark singing about that same Rock Island Line shown in the documentary and laugh at how old and backward these two artists are. How out-of-fashion they are in singing about such things. The mistake is in casting this folklore off into the past in favor of some new mythology like Two and a Half Men, and How I Met Your Mother, stories about broken people living broken lives. Then those same minds wonder why their own lives are broken, unhappy and miserable. And those same minds wonder why gas is over $4 per gallon, and why driving to Disney World costs over $500 now, when it used to only cost $200.

But in the first moments that I learned to walk, when my parents lived above my grandparents, my grandfather, the same guy who taught me to use a bullwhip, shoot a gun and spit in the face of authority since he used to run moonshine in the hills of Kentucky with his own father, listened to Johnny Cash in the house he had by a railroad track and as I struggled to take my first steps I can remember Johnny Cash singing Rock Island Line as trains would storm by the window shaking the entire house with raw American power—the power of the nation moving by at the pace of business. And I learned from an early age to appreciate it as the foundations of America manifest in folklore and rail cars.

You cannot abuse your nation just like you cannot abuse your mother, or father, or even your children with badmouthing neglect. They will only love you so far, and they can only withstand the abuse so long before they start to believe the spiteful words from the villains of thought. And to those who yell at the trains and chastise the old-fashioned remnants of the past in favor of what’s new and fashionable, it is those types who have made gas $4 dollars a gallon and climbing. It is they who have driven up the cost of food. It is they who have allowed the Federal Reserve to destroy the value of the dollar with devastating inflation. It is they who have said yes to every tax put before them because they believe money can be plucked from a tree and that government will bring everything they need to their doorstep. It is they who have destroyed self-reliance and instead put ear-rings of peace signs in their ears and taken up the mantra of the hippie, the lowlifes, the smelly occupier who finds themselves disillusioned at a government so inept it cannot give back all that it promised to these poor youth waiting for a check to arrive in the mail.

What none of them know is that it was railroads like the Rock Island Line that built our country and made all Americans, even the poor, the richest in all the world. And it was the blood vessels of our economy such as our railroads that the parasites of communism attacked first, and why the perception of many now look upon those old relics as a nuisance. And that is why our gas is too expensive, and our way of life is dimenishing, so that soon, like the train, our way of life will simply be another ghost from the past that whistles in the quiet of the night to windows, ears and minds that have closed off to their beauty.

Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom Gathering: Rebellion, taxes and fighting back

There is the ever-present tendency for any group or organization to become infected with the desire for complacency. This desire acts like handcuffs upon free movement and sucks from the intentions all worthy deeds possible. This is how the two-party systems in America have become two left-leaning umbrellas isolating nearly half the country with one of two options, a presidential pick that is in the center or one that is radically to the left. Party politics are constructed not to represent the people but to protect their lobby manipulation and power base. Nothing more. They are all about money which makes them no different from thieves. The only difference between a common thief, a pirate, or a politician is that the politician gets to write the laws to justify their actions as “legal.”

We have seen the long demise of the two-party systems and the infestation of that party politics with crony capitalism, labor unions, and legalized theft through a tax code that was built for all the wrong reasons. To rise up against these infractions, there has been the Tea Party movement and 9/12 Organizations, along with other liberty groups, but the infestation by party politics has taken root, and the temptation to swing back into mediocrity is all too seductive. Currently the Tea Party movement finds itself held down by party politics into inaction that cannot capture the passions of its members.

I don’t trust groups and organizations. I don’t trust committees, and presidents, or anything with a nameplate. I have seen all such organizations become less influential the larger they became, as the temptation to play machine politics numbs down the passions that created the need for the party in the first place. Unfortunately, fear is what motivates most everyone in the world, fear of loss, fear of gain, fear of mediocrity, fear of being forgotten, fear of being rejected, and so on, so fear is used to keep everyone in line, and thus you have the beginnings of failure.

There is a need to have a collection of people behind these political machines who do not think this way, who remain as a threat to the established order, to apply fear in order to keep politics honest. These people ideally would not be motivated by gain or fear of any kind, but simply a philosophy of freedom that is their foremost concern. So long as this is the case, they cannot be seduced into mediocrity. And this is what prompted our second Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom meeting in 2012. (You can read about the first one at the link below)

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/the-overmanwarriors-eating-fighting-and-philosophizing-the-keys-to-a-good-life/

I could not invite every single Overmanwarrior out there working to this event that took place on March 24, 2012 because to be honest, there is danger for some to be seen in public with me. Of course I have many enemies, and some people are best kept out of the lime light—for now, since there is simply too much risk to those Overmanwarriors in showing that they know me. And others still live too far away to be able to join in an afternoon discussion about philosophy, freedom, and rebellion.  But all who were invited came and told their own individual stories as Vicious acted as master of ceremonies.  One of the most compelling stories for our group was from Justin Thomas just ahead of the USA Today article due out about how the IRS has personally targeted him because of his affiliation with the Cincinnati Tea Party.  I will be covering this in greater detail now that I’ve had a chance to meet with him personally. 

I model my outlook on this matter after the pirate Henry Morgan who was hired by England to harass the Spanish as a privateer in the Caribbean, and was able to bring a small empire to its knees for a short time with just few ships and a lot of guts. That’s why the flag of the Overmanwarriors is a pirate flag tied to the traditional Tea Party flag of the Gladstone Flag “Don’t Tread on Me.” But we are not a Tea Party group. We are a group that hovers behind the Tea Party and our activity is not to study conservative principles but to undermine corrosive forces to our liberty actively with a vast network of infiltrators who are able to supply me with information to publish here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.

The discussion in our meeting was preparedness, because the projected path that our country is on is one that is not healthy, or beneficial to long-term sustainability. So I have piracy in mind, not peaceful co-existence. The root for this idea comes from philosophy not law. And as of now, our action is rooted in information so that people can make good decisions when it comes time to vote. Some of the attendees at this particular meeting are people who have in the past been chased down by the IRS just because of their affiliation with liberty groups, or have been raked across the social coals and blamed for insanity because they refused to comply with a group consensus surrendering logic for peace. And of course many saw this happen first hand to me just this past week when words I said were taken and used as an attempt to remove me from the political arena, because they couldn’t beat me straight up.

Case in point regarding my comments, if the voters decided that my words were too harsh, then so be it. I said them knowing full well the risk. However, the political machine showed its gears of influence and a grand show was put on in an attempt to wreck me in any fashion possible. This political machine desired to see me completely destroyed. In the old days we might call this a “hit” where a literal assassin would be called into action to remove the problem. These days it’s public relations firms who do the work, and it is an ignorant and cowardly public motivated by fear who listens intently.

This is how machine politics is able to diffuse the Tea Party movement, through defensive action, by calling them “tea baggers” and other derogatory names so to turn the public against them. Machine politics don’t kill like they used to with literal bullets from guns using actual hit men. They still do this on occasion, but only when the public relation hits don’t work.

And that is why this band of Overmanwarriors gathered on a Saturday afternoon, to discuss many of these topics and gain firm holding of our personal philosophies. I personally believe that it is philosophy that is more powerful than bullets, so advocating a philosophy of freedom is a very powerful weapon. It does what the assassins of public relations are doing, it allows for a bloody fight to rage on with counter measures the assassins are not equipped to handle. That is how we plan to fight, is through philosophy gradually bringing more and more members into our tent to help support the liberty groups with our reach, and willingness to punch the political establishment cleanly in the mouth. I personally reject the entire system that is built on concessions and favor a system that is built on logic and is prepared to fight on any ground necessary to have it. The preferred method is in the court of public opinion and the ability to vote.

However, much of the time the law is not made to protect, but to control, and that makes it an enemy of freedom. The old song by the Bobby Fuller Four, “I Fought the Law and the Law Won” deserves to be challenged.

The law is the same system that allows a school system to forever rob a home of property taxes and if the community does not approve the levy, the law allows the school to ignore the voters and try again within 6 months. The law now says that anyone can be detained and tortured if the President of the United States deems you as a terrorist completely superseding the American Constitution. The law dictates that you do a lot of things that are not in your best interest and while you work hard to be a “law abiding citizen” the same law makers are the biggest law breakers. And it’s time to end the practice of hypocrisy by turning the other cheek. As we were told recently in our local school system, “we can’t control our costs, because it’s against the law.” That’s when enough is enough.

Labor unions have lobbied to create laws that guarantee payment to them from the ownership of property. And they can do it because it’s “the law.” Lobbyist help create laws we all must live by, but do nothing to actually help any of us. Such laws should be broken, since their foundations rob and loot America of its drive and innovation.

And that’s what our group of independent minded Overmanwarriors discussed during our meeting. We discussed how we got here and what we do now. My suggestions are to turn the mechanisms of machine politics back on itself. To support the Tea Parties, but to stay in the back ground as a watchdog to their efforts, and to attack like water the rigid controls of the establishment. I mean like water because water can take any shape even if that shape is in the form of the enemy itself.

The corruption of our culture did not start with guns or even people, but of ideas. A communist ideology has been introduced gradually to American culture that has brought our nation to this current place in time and is the real villain. As I examine the roots of that thinking, it is easy to see that the philosophy itself is weak and can be easily crushed by better ideas. So as for now the guns will stay in their holsters and the advancement of good ideas will be injected into our social fabric like medicine into the body of a sick patient. And this merry band of Overmanwarrior’s will be on the front line of providing those ideas that will fight off the sickness that has paralyzed our civilization. And the fight will be to ensure that no concessions take place between the truth and the half-baked diatribes of machine politics and their tentacles of power.

For it is not our responsibility to play the role of the compliant citizen, but a vigilant one. Freedom isn’t cheap, and the lazy do not have the ambition to maintain it. When the thieves, looters, and scum bags who crave power over logic desire to deliberately build a society of the lazy so that freedom can be reduced and power will be gained by the machines of politics, then the enemy is easy to see. It’s right in front of you. But you have to start calling it what it is and not dance around the politically correct terminology that the enemy has given you. And here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom, with the large group of members behind it, being a rebel against such tyranny is becoming more and more fashionable. Which is a welcomed relief.

What all the members of this group had in common was each and every one of them had been involved in some kind of aggressive set-up involving some form of government.  And we were brought together with a desire to fight back.  The intention inflicted upon us all was to subdue the fighting spirit and desire for freedom in favor of some mundane security.  The attempts ranged from Federal prosecutions, IRS thuggery, sexual harassment, public humiliation, and many other stories inflicted to destroy any competition to the desires of a tyrannical government.  And that is going to end.

A special thanks to Vicious, and the Gatekeeper for bringing everyone together and making it fun.  We’re a serious group, and your creative wit brought joy to an event that was intense by nature. 

I would expect that our group will probably double by the next meeting.  Soon, it looks like we’ll need a bigger venue.

The Ugly Side of Politics: Going over the edge in full control

For a bit of perspective, I have received messages, email and other comments to the effect shown below for the last three years now due to my involvement in staving off potential school levies and advocating labor union reforms.  This is my view of many of my political rivals; it’s what I see routinely.  I typically respond to each of them with an equal answer to keep things fair and balanced, and on occasion I will respond in mass to them with a blog posting to save myself some time.  One of these comments from the fake email address RICHHOFFMANHATESKIDS I received yesterday.  The other I received a few days ago. I picked these two because they are different but have the same intention.  I have received these types of messages for years now and have grown used to them, but it always brings to my mind, why should I have to.  What is the purpose of these harassments?  What is their objective?

Rich Hoffman is a vile, disgusting, piece of shit!

coward coward coward!! hiding behind your ability to moderate comments. you are a small small little man. no wonder your wife is seen in the company of other men.

HA HA HA! NO LAKOTA DOESN’T WANT YOU…HA HA HA! Its a sign that you are a nobody when groups start running away from you.
ha ha ha ha ha!!!

The criteria for me that a political organization whether it be a school or any other branch of government is up to no good is whether or not they respect the voice of the voter.  In order for our nation to operate the way its intended, utmost respect must be given to the power of the vote.  The vote is the voice of the people in our government, so in order to understand what that voice is; we typically count votes at the balance box. 

You can see how honest a political group is however by their actions during this process.  If they attempt to steal the campaign literature of the other side hoping to take away the voice of the opposition, then the thieves are afraid that their message cannot stand on its own and seek to manipulate the vote with vandalism.  You can also see if voter intimidation is at play, where members of an opposing political party try to turn a vote in their direction with threats of various kinds.  You can also see if a political party is attempting to spend money on firms to tell them how to convey their message to manipulate a potential voter with marketing key words.  All these practices and more speak volumes about the intention of these political entities. 

In my personal situation at Lakota where I have taken a stance against higher taxes, I have now been in a three year fight against a school driven by radical politics.  The public image is like most political entities, good and full of smiles, but behind the scenes is a radicalism that is expensive, manipulative, and very disrespectful to the voters who have now voted three times to defeat potential tax levies.  In that three years I have seen everything mentioned above and much, much more in an attempt to shut down the voice of opposition so that a vote in their favor can be achieved.  And since I’ve been on the front line of that fight, I have seen lots of attempts at intimidation—acts that were intended to push me off the front line and hide in the background so my points could not be heard in an election.  When people wonder why I get so mad and say some of the things I have said, they often don’t get the context of what goes on behind the scenes, behind the newspapers and television reports, which tend to paint things with pleasant images that don’t dig too deeply into the real issues.  The political rhetoric can be intense, and many nasty things can and do get said. 

This is why The Pulse Journal had to shut down their comments section on their web site and why The Cincinnati Enquirer turned their comments to Facebook accounts, because the political rhetoric sometimes became so heated that very nasty things were said—and people were saying more than they should because they were using screen names, and not their actual names.  This still goes on with online forums, and some of the really nasty stuff has calmed down on the Enquirer sites but it still does not change the fact that in a political endeavor, both sides want to win, and they’ll say and do just about anything to achieve their aim—especially if the real intent is up to no good.

I started this site at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom because I couldn’t get all the depth needed to understand some of our modern education problems with just interviews in the newspaper, because the story is complex and requires a lot of information.  A political entity such as a school tends to want to dominate their public perception by gaining as much control of the media as possible.  They lean on reporters who write articles not favorable to them with “blacklisting” or letter writing campaigns from volunteers dedicated to their cause, and this is typically how they achieve media monopoly.  So by starting this site, it is a form of media that they don’t control. 

On the other side of my political beliefs are vast networks run by the OEA, the NEA, ProgressOhio, and countless smaller organizations who propel myths intended to manipulate the typical voter, and it works.  And within each of those organizations are groups of radicals who lay in wait to provide pressure, protests, and apply defensive positions upon any opposition under the mantra of “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.”  Because most of the time, it does, so whoever screams loudest and longest tends to win in this kind of politics.  Because on the surface, the mainstream media carries only the bullet points of all the results of the dirty deeds that go on behind the scenes, and most people don’t want, or have time for all the nasty business.  They would rather not know because in knowing there is a responsibility to act.

Public education behind the façade of children’s learning and community enrichment is a deep seated radicalism that is very powerful, and corrosive to the world around them.  The source is the labor unions that make up the labor force of these schools.  They seek an employment monopoly that they can use against the tax payers to drive up their wage rates.  They seek to eliminate any DISCUSSION of competition let alone actually embrace it.  And they are one of the most destructive forces currently at play in politics. 

If you speak out against them, and take ownership of your comments you will see lots of messages as those seen above.  And the hate speech will fly in your direction.  The obvious reason for the hate speech is to control your behavior.  It is the same motive of a typical bully, they threaten to hurt you or will push your buttons trying to find something that hurts you so that the pain will be so great that you won’t question the reality they are trying to sell. 

Hiding these radical elements are the emotions of being in business with children, and the parents of these children tend to want to believe they are doing the right thing, so they put blinders onto the ugliness and do their best to put on a positive outward appearance.  These parents tend to be the outward appearance that a school system uses to protect their monopoly status to the mainstream media.  It’s a scam that has worked for many years and is excessively corrosive to community involvement.  For those like myself who expose these discrepancies there is much anger, and letters like I’ve shown at the beginning of this article are typical. 

I believed up until a few weeks ago that this kind of thing could be combated with just facts alone and I was willing to put up with the harassment.  But seeing what happened in the Little Miami School District with 9 levy attempts every 6 months or so and seeing that as soon as the levy was passed the district turned on the spending facet to full blast, then noticing that Lakota was doing nothing to proactively solve their problems by driving down their wages, and Lakota was headed for a 4th levy attempt in 2012, I realized that just fighting them on the high ground would not be enough, because at Lakota, we are headed for the same path as Little Miami, and this is all by design by the radical elements behind public education, especially in Ohio. 

There are many who read here who know what I’m talking about from experience.  There are many who are learning these things for the first time.  And there are many who want to hide the information I’m exposing so they can continue on with this epic education scam that is perpetuated at our expense.  That last type is dangerous and they’ve been able to hide in the shadows behind feel good sports stories and busy parents just wanting an education for their children.  The media that they largely control with the same extortive methods employed on me just cannot dig too deep into these stories. 

So sometimes, to beat such types you have to beat them at their own game.  You have to flush them out of their hiding places and expose them for what they are.  And you can’t do this without going down into the burrows where they dwell, behind the layers of facades they’ve created. 

I wish none of this were necessary.  I wish that a vote was a vote, and we could let those votes speak the desires of the public.  But when groups see that a community says NO, and they proceed to take away offerings to the public that the public is paying for with their tax money because there isn’t any competition, and that same organization pretends that the majority did not vote against them, so they try again 6 months, or 1 year later hoping that the numbers will change while there are members of these organizations who work behind the scenes attacking voices who present opposing points of view—with the hope of altering the final vote, the system is broken beyond repair then action is mandated. 

And action is what will happen.  Because the value of the vote is worth fighting for—without it we have nothing.  Executive Order 10988 should be repealed, and then we can start to figure things out.
