Kristin Bell Begging for Tuppence: The falsehood of a living wage

It was nearly unbearable to watch all the idiots crying in front of Wal-Mart on Black Friday 2014 protesting in favor of a “living wage.” The radical concept of inconveniencing shoppers trying to impose an unrealistic minimum wage reminded me of the absolutely preposterous video done by Kristin Bell from Funny or Die mimicking Marry Poppins. In a parody the Disney character (played by Kristin Bell) she quits her job because the Banks family won’t pay her more money. According to Bell’s character she is struggling to make ends meet at $7.25, the federal minimum wage, pleading for a $3 raise. Bell, who is a young talented kid ignorant about basic economic concepts, has swallowed the socialist notion of a minimum wage without any critical thinking espousing the same stupidity as the Wal-Mart protestors who are attacking the shopping giant with a contentious desire to unionize those employees.

http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/25/news/economy/mary-poppins-minimum-wage/index.html

Rightly, Reason Magazine answered Bell’s video with a Mary Poppins satire of their own against the federal increase of minimum wage laws. The unintended consequence of increases in minimum wage is that the money has to come from someplace—business owners are in the business to make money, and wage increases cut into their profit margins—which determine whether or nor they wish to involve themselves in the risky business of operating a money-making enterprise. If employees become too troublesome and desire more money than they are worth—a smart business owner to maintain their interest in a business must replace those employees with something more reliable—like a machine.

Already in manufacturing 3D printing is threatening to remove many delicate manufacturing jobs that would have before been done with a punch press or plastic injection machine. Even fast food restaurants are nearing a phase where they could be almost completely automated. The only reason they presently aren’t is because wage labor is still cheaper. But at a $15 dollar rate—nobody will bother—they’ll just buy the machines and cut the cry baby employees. Machines don’t unionize and they do what you tell them to—and they don’t have unrealistic expectations regarding personal value.

Ironically Bell in her video complains that Social Security and other taxes are removed from her check before she sees much of the money and this is why she needs more money—well—welcome to the club. Anybody who works sees this theft of their weekly paychecks with a wealth redistribution scam that favors the lazy and unmotivated. But it was the same progressives who are behind this minimum wage increase who voted for all those stupid “society” projects like Medicare, Socialist Security, and a progressive tax system. Now they want more money on their weekly paychecks to pay for the stupid things they voted for which is utterly ridiculous. It was progressive mismanagement which caused this issue of depleted personal revenue.

The protestors who want to shut down Wal-Mart are utter idiots because if they eventually are successful society will lose the stand-alone stores that are quite a community asset for those who have them. People won’t rush out to a store with a bunch of radical union protestors to buy their cloths and milk. If it becomes too much of a pain in the ass, they’ll just order what they need online and have it delivered to their house. Twice over the Thanksgiving holiday recently I sat in the comfort of my chair at home next to a roaring fire—sipping on a Mello Yello, watching football, and ordered items from my iPad. Two days later those items arrived on my front porch. All I had to do was open my door to retrieve them—that is my concept of shopping. Occasionally my wife drags me to Wal-Mart which has value because I don’t have to wait for the shipping of the item—as Wal-Mart has already done that part for me. That is what the brick and mortar store offers—immediate gratification. But if that experience isn’t gratifying—and cheap—people will reject it.

Consider when we go to the bank these days to get money—so we can go shopping. I used to hate going through the window talking to a person who sometimes gave me back the wrong amount of money. I much prefer the ATM because in 20 years of using them, they have never miscounted my money and are dependable every time—the average transaction time is 4 minutes—then I’m off onto something I would rather be doing. Progressives would argue that what we are losing is the human contact which makes us all sensitive to each other’s needs. But that squishy sentiment isn’t often the reality. Unless the person working with you is pleasant—I’d rather deal with a machine. For instance, going to the license bureau is always unpleasant. There you have a bunch of unhappy government workers who know you can’t go anyplace else—and that you have to do what they say. So they take their time, are often cranky, and have no fear of competition. If the minimum wage activists get their way with Wal-Mart and McDonald’s what we will end up with is a bunch of grumpy nags bitching about everything asked of them—and nobody wants that.

Just the other day my wife and I were going through the McDonald’s drive thru picking up some McRibs and the people working the window were nice on both the money end and the push-out window. It was actually a pleasant experience to receive my food from a real human being and it made me want to order again a few hours later, so my wife and I went back up for dinner to get more food. But that’s not always the case—sometimes people who you know don’t want to be there are at the window and you can’t wait to get your food and be off and away from them. They are the kind of people who clock into their time clocks at the last possible moment and leave as soon as possible when their shift is over. You can always tell a bad worker because they are the type who stands at a time clock wanting to leave the moment they can. Their behavior carries over into their productive output. It gives them away on sight—you can tell who they are by their body language. Those people are not worth $15 dollars an hour. They are not worth a mythical “living” wage as determined by a bunch of knuckle dragging progressives. They are lucky to have a job at all, and if Wal-Mart and McDonald’s have to pay those types of people more money, they are better off investing in a machine that will do the work more reliably, and cheaper. Because the goal of every business is to MAKE MONEY—not give things away for free.

The Kristin Bell Mary Poppins character is far different from the Walt Disney version. The Disney version might be worth a few more dollars for what she brought to the table but the Bell version is the kind of baby sitter who brings over her boyfriend the moment the parents leave the house. When the parents return they find that Bell has wrecked their house with a rave party complete with drug paraphernalia strewn about and the kids out cold from intoxication. Then Bell gives the parents a bill saying that she’ll sue them if they don’t pay her $15 per hour instead of the $7 they agreed on since her boyfriend wrecked her car leaving that house intoxicated, since the parents would be responsible for what happens at their house. Then Bell would complain and protest about how greedy the parents were because they still refused to pay, or hire her for another night. After all, she needs money—so somebody owes her some.

Human beings can be better than a machine to deal with, but only under certain circumstances, and none of those circumstances are brought about with an increase in the minimum wage. Such an increase doesn’t just impact jobs on the bottom end, but raises all wage levels with artificial inflation which is why people support such a stupid proposal. People, who currently make $15 an hour which is a good wage, would want to be compensated at $20 because some fast food worker is now making what they once did. And if they don’t get it, it’s better for them to quit the harder job so they can make milk money at a $15 wage at Wal-Mart. Only people who don’t understand how money is made and why businesses do anything support a minimum wage increase. Those who do understand find the proposal reprehensible—because they know that the unintended consequence is what the video from Reason Magazine revealed. Machines are more reliable when the expectations of employees are too great. When humans become a pain in the ass, they will find themselves jobless in a hurry—and Kristin Bell’s Mary Poppins would find herself begging for a tuppence within a few days of walking out on employer with her broken umbrella and terrible attitude. Because nobody wants to deal with a bitch like that—the money just isn’t worth it.

World Socialist Web Site Didn’t Like ‘Interstellar’: Social justice is more imporant than space travel–according to them

Most normal Americans probably don’t know that there is a World Socialist Web Site, but there is. In fact, there are a lot of web sites throughout the world dedicated to socialism and they are primarily aimed at the young, the stupid, and the uneducated masses that lack natural aptitude. Socialism is attractive to the infinitely, and incurably lazy because it allows them to gain resources at the expense of somebody else’s work. It is far from fair because those who have natural ambition and drive are constantly plucked throughout their lives and punished for their drive by the collective masses who call themselves socialists. There are a lot more socialists than most people realize—and they are a lot more open about their activity outside of the United States. There is still a stigma in America toward socialism because of the foundations of capitalism that formed the prosperous country. So socialists and would-be communists keep their identification concealed behind “alternative” terminology to perpetrate their ruse against society.

I have identified to readers here what Interstellar was all about in my review, which can be seen by clicking here. The film has made within just three weeks over $500 million dollars, most of it overseas—particularly communist China and somewhat capitalist South Korea. The film underperformed in the United States largely due to the intellectual weight of the subject matter. Thinking is not fashionable in America currently, so given the nature of Interstellar, an almost 3 hour film that does not involve any sex or even romance—is a lot to ask out of American film audiences to sit though. They for the most part are scared of a physics experiment that does not involve someone flashing boobies somewhere within it. Those who love Interstellar in America are those who like to think. In societies already suppressed by communism and collectivism however—they do enjoy thinking because it’s the only freedom that they have—and they LOVE Interstellar. Forget the stereotypes that Asians are good at math, the movie market in the East loves thinking movies—which Interstellar is.

But socialists don’t like thinking movies because they require non-thinking mentality to execute their ridiculous political and economic policies. Communists in China have seen first-hand what a debacle their policies have been and the are moving toward capitalism instead of away from it like Americans have been for so long—and they see the message behind Interstellar as hope for their dire situations. Elsewhere, particularly around Europe, socialists see the message of Interstellar as a threat to their climate change religion of earth worship so they attack the premise of the plot with the same voracity that Bible thumpers profess that evolution is not a scientific factor in plant and animal life development.

For proof of this discriminatory condition against capitalist endeavors such as a non-climate change movie, below are some hilarious excerpts from the World Socialist Web Site as they reviewed Interstellar.  The World Socialist Web Site is essentially The Huffington Post only without the filter of progressivism to mask the hard left slant. The WSWS is written by The International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) which is the name of two Trotskyist internationals; one with sections named Socialist Equality Party which publishes the World Socialist Web Site, and another linked to the Workers Revolutionary Party in Britain.   The International Committee originated as a public faction of the Fourth International. It was formed in 1953 by a number of national sections of the FI that disagreed with the course of the International Secretariat of the Fourth International led at that time by Michel Pablo (Raptis) and Ernest Mandel (Germain). The Committee was co-ordinated by the American section, the Socialist Workers Party, and included the British section led by Gerry Healy and Pierre Lambert’s Parti Communiste Internationaliste (PCI) in France. Trotskyist groups in various other countries, notably in Austria, China, India, Japan, New Zealand and Nahuel Moreno‘s group in Argentina, also joined.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Committee_of_the_Fourth_International

Needless to say, they didn’t like the movie, here’s what they said:

Interstellar is part of a trend in contemporary science fiction movies, and cinema in general, that subscribes to the notion that everything in this planet is already lost. Brand’s brilliant scheme is simple: if we cannot save the Earth, let’s leave it. The idea of abandoning the planet for a fresh start in another part of the universe is alarming, irritating. Responsible scientists, artists and others need to address the present social and political challenges, instead of ignoring them or projecting them far away.

Toward the end, when Cooper awakes on board a NASA space station orbiting Saturn, it seems that people are living in harmony. As was the case at the beginning of the film, there is no reference to the social context. Is this a world with a different economic structure, with social justice, free from capitalist exploitation? Does Nolan think the discovery of another planet will automatically make human beings’ relationships better? Or is humankind a species destined to wander through the universe without hope for all eternity?

Nevertheless, the overall plot resolution is ridiculous. Nolan prefers providing easy, indulgent answers to the audience rather than working through thought-provoking questions.

At one point, Amelia says: “Love is the one thing we are capable of perceiving that transcends time and space.” But beyond the vindication of the family institution, the classic setting of the petty bourgeois, the film does not dare to go anywhere. Ultimately, what is so striking about Interstellar is the contradiction between the science and technology (including film technology) and the poverty of the ideas. It is easier for many filmmakers to imagine a fifth dimension and coming out the other end of a black hole than it is for them to study our social organization and construct a critical picture of it.

Incoherent and boring for long stretches, Interstellar is a galactic mess: a sci-fi extravaganza, in which Nolan becomes the prisoner of his own gravity. His work says little about the human condition, our world and its relation with the universe around us. Made for $165 million, it has already grossed more than $130 million in the US, and $225 million in the rest of the planet since its release. If Nolan’s film reveals anything, it would be the mediocre state of American studio filmmaking and the undemocratic global system of distribution and exhibition.

http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/11/29/inte-n29.html

Notice how the key words of socialism were placed in the article from their philosophic vantage point, “capitalist exploitation,” “social justice,” and the illustrious “bourgeois.” Their biggest gripe with the film is that the Nolan brothers decided to take the plot line of earth worship completely out of the factors of consideration and just left earth behind for destinations yet unknown. By doing so all the tenants of progressive and socialist belief are instantly diffused. Socialism and communism only work when there are no other options for a society—and capitalism is destroyed. This is why they tend to mostly be greenie weenie types and old hippie tree huggers with tie die t-shirts hanging in their closets and an occasional aroma of marijuana smoke emitting from their urban dwellings. They have made a religion out of earth worship and attached it directly to political activism—which ultimately attacks capitalist enterprises like coal consumption, carbon emissions, and creates EPA activism through regulation.

 

The Nolan brothers behind Interstellar come from England and have seen the effects of socialism there first hand—and their movies reflect their dislike of the practice. They have a right to their opinion and many people in the world agree with them, measured by box office take. Consider two movies with equal star power and budgets along with length—such as Cloud Atlas versus Interstellar. Interstellar blows away Cloud Atlas as movie goers voted with their wallets—Interstellar was a pro capitalist message where Cloud Atlas was a very progressive/socialist type of story line. Movie goers rejected Cloud Atlas and have supported Interstellar. (Read my thoughts on Cloud Atlas here) Even Ronald Reagan toyed with communism in his early years but was scared away from it while shooting a movie in England. After that, Reagan became a diehard capitalist who helped destroy communist Russia in a spending war they could not win with their repressive economy.

Socialists require no options to sell their ideals to society, and Interstellar takes movie goers completely out of the earth worship culture of progressives and gives them something else to think about besides social justice. Given that option, socialists throughout the world are watching as years of mind-numbing programming are erased with a simple three-hour Christopher Nolan movie. This is precisely why my own children have been to see Interstellar three times over the last three weeks. When my oldest daughter had any option she wanted for her 25th birthday, she chose to see Interstellar for the third time—and I am proud of her for supporting such a wonderful picture.   I want to see it again just because I know it galls socialists to no end to see such philosophic competition arguing against their policies.

 

Kip Thorne is hardly a bastion of conservatism along with his openly left-leaning Interstellar producer Lynda Obst. Thorne is an academic whom I admire immensely, so I forgive him for his old hippie ways. It’s alright so long as he stays on campus and keeps his fingers out of the business world where capitalism rules. Lynda was producing Interstellar with Steven Spielberg and if things had stayed the way they were lining up Interstellar would have been a good film like A.I. or something to that effect, but it would not have made nearly as much money. Science geeks would go to the film, but conservatives would stay away because of all the hippie messages that Obst and Spielberg would have sprinkled in—and the $200 million dollar project might have broken even in the world-wide market. But Obst had a problem, after a writer’s guild strike pulled Jonathan Nolan away then Spielberg had to bail, she had no other option but to take the next best thing, Christopher Nolan fresh off his Dark Knight films. The Nolans working together once again rewrote the script, cut out all the hippie sludge, and put together a film that truly took viewers off this planet and all the problems associated with it. The result is an international box office smash that will redefine the film industry—especially in the Asian market.

So the socialists of the world are watching the success of Interstellar with a serious case of the goo. They are miserable to see such a rejection of their social philosophies, and Interstellar is very much a rejection of their assumptions—that’s partly what makes it so wonderful. So if you really want to piss off a socialist—go see Interstellar a few more times and support it with the kind of revolution that the communists in America are calling for in Ferguson. The best way to solve many of the social problems that afflict the world is to put more money in people’s pockets and upgrade their standard of living. Space shows promise in that direction—but more importantly, capitalism offers those solutions. Socialism leads mankind to earth worship and more EPA regulations. Capitalism leads to space, and the many opportunities for the world found there. It is that realization that has the World Socialist Web Site feeling so dejected. And that makes me very, very happy.

 

“But beyond the vindication of the family institution, the classic setting of the petty bourgeois, the film does not dare to go anywhere.” Now, you know what’s wrong with American public schools—what a terrible, diabolical attitude toward family structure. It should be clear what socialists are out to destroy.

‘The Force Awakens’ Preview: Canon versus fan boy reinvention–concern on the horizen

I am one of the few people who saw the new Star Wars preview for Episode 7 and did not get all that excited. My daughter and I were at the Barnes and Nobel at Newport on the Levee as she was catching up on the New Jedi Order books and we were talking about the new preview which saw millions upon millions of views depending on where it was seen on YouTube in just 24 hours. Some sources had 24 million views in that time frame whereas the official Star Wars site had over 8 million. I’m not that excited about the new story because for one, Han Solo will likely be killed and unless Lucasfilm follows the story line they have been on for over twenty years with their expanded universe I will not be able to accept a new story canon—as I’m too invested. It just won’t work for me. Once Han Solo is out of the picture, there won’t be anything for me in Star Wars any more. Even if there are the planned Han Solo stand alone films, if they do not follow the storyline of the six novels I have read about the origin of Solo, I will likely reject the movies and stick with the books. The whole thing will only work if Lucasfilm keeps everything in continuity with each other.

I told my daughter to get the New Jedi Order books and continue reading them, because there is some great stuff in that series. It is quite possible by watching the trailer that the Daisy Ridley character is Jaina Solo and that the X-Wing pilot is Jag and that the Sith story line that was built up in the Legacy of the Force novels will be the jumping off point for these new movies. It would make sense. But she reminded me that most franchises—particularly Marvel are mixing and mashing story lines with revision and under those circumstances, Star Wars would be making a huge mistake. I told her that I didn’t think they were that stupid—and I don’t think they are. I think most of the story lines leaked out are false ones meant to keep fans in the dark and in doubt. But, there is the part of me that has been so let down by bad decisions made by other people in the past, that it wouldn’t surprise me if my daughter was right. In that case this next Star Wars film will likely be it for me—and I’m sure I’m not alone.

I just don’t see Lucasfilm isolating all their long-term fans with revisionist history in the overall Star Wars mythology. Scrapping the stories of several New York Times best sellers just doesn’t make any sense for anybody. There are many fans who have been with Star Wars through the lean years so taking away the story arcs that they fell in love with would not give the franchise the fuel to carry the kind of numbers Disney needs out of this mythology. Without question the new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens will do great initial numbers—but realistically—it needs to be a two billion dollar money-maker at the global box office to hold up to the aims that Disney has for it—and if people like me jump off the ship—I don’t see how they get there. There are obviously a new generation of people who will enjoy them but Star Wars just doesn’t benefit from having a split fan base of people who liked Star Wars before Disney took ownership and those after.

There was nothing in the new trailer that told me that my thoughts weren’t the case, so I am still hopeful. But from the new preview I wanted confirmation that Lucasfilm didn’t decide to take the revisionist route in the story arc.   They didn’t give me that assurance—so anxiety toward the new film was my reaction. In many ways my concerns stem from the new cartoon Rebels—which is alright, but you can certainly tell that George Lucas is not a part of the stories anymore. The content in the new Star Wars cartoon is good, and fun—but much too light. The program is being made by fan boys essentially—like myself and that’s fine so long as it doesn’t screw up the overall story lines of the greater mythology. If it does, and these new filmmakers stray off the path—then there is trouble ahead for Star Wars.

It is possible that Rebels will come around once these filmmakers get their teeth deeper into the story and become more comfortable with the characters—but so far I see Lucasfilm and Disney painting themselves into a corner they don’t need to. Without George, I have my doubts that the whole thing will work because of what I’ve so far seen in Rebels and what they didn’t show in the new Force Awakens movie trailer.

Pablo Hildago who is part of the new story group said in his book The Essential Guide to Star Wars that it was possible that Lucas might revise the canon around the films—that the movies were the establishing parameters. Yet Pablo is the essential guide to the expanded universe and with him a major member of the story group—I just can’t see them making decisions that ruin years of publishing from the guide books to the novels. To do that would be a disaster for the Star Wars franchise. For families like mine where we own every single Star Wars book that there ever was—making them suddenly irrelevant would isolate our investment. So from a business perspective, I just don’t see a rejection of the expanded universe canon. It would be the dumbest thing to do in entertainment. I am a die-hard Star Wars fan and the prospect of a change in canon from what I’ve invested twenty years into to suddenly accept something a bunch of fan boys came up with second-hand is not possible. I would lose my enthusiasm for the upcoming films instantly.

But for now the new film looks great from the preview. Basically, if the female lead is Jaina Solo I’m good for a new generation. If it isn’t, then my love of Star Wars essentially stops now and it will become like a James Bond franchise for me which I’ll watch for fun, but cannot buy into the character since Sean Connery stepped away from the movies. Sean Connery was James Bond canon whether or not anybody likes it. Accepting someone else in that role just never worked. Star Wars is even more sensitive to this issue.

So we’ll see. I told my daughter to stick with Star Wars, read New Jedi Order and all the other books because they perfectly set up another movie by the time a reader comes to the end of the Legacy series. But the new preview didn’t do anything personally for me because I wanted to see assurance that Lucasfilm didn’t screw the pooch. In some ways they gave cryptic indications, such as the Ridley character with a lightsaber mounted to the side of a strange vehicle, and the X-Wings flying in formation with someone who could easily be Jag leading. But if those characters aren’t present—then it would be impossible for me to accept a substitute. It would just be too much to kill off the most beloved character in the series and accept a bunch of new characters not part of the twenty plus year canon formed by the novels. Until that confirmation is materialized, I will be skeptical and not all that enthusiastic to see something very good come to a bitter end.

Staying Fat, Dumb and Happy: Edward Leedskalnin’s thoughts on public education

To those who have read Edward Leeskalnin’s book Magnetic Current they have the fortune of knowing that it is as revolutionary as Einstein’s E=MC2. In the book Leeskalnin explains how to remove magnetic currents from objects and to manipulate them in a way that is useful. Yet the information is technically impossible by modern methods of science as there is some missing knowledge in getting from here to Leeskalnin’s assumptions. The impact of Leeskalnin’s understanding to magnetism will eventually be much more revolutionary than Tesla’s experiments with AC current as opposed to Edison’s DC. Tesla was attacked and buried by his former boss in Edison so to preserve the power grid model we see today that is unionized as a public utility—and controlled by government backed monopolies. Yet Leeskalnin and Tesla were using electrical current and magnetism in ways that tapped into the cosmic supply of that energy—which never runs out making the levitation of giant objects and perpetual use of power completely free as an obtainable possibility. The difference is essentially the Internet we have today which costs a fee to have access but once there, the world is at your feet in as much abundance as you can handle—as opposed to Obama’s attempts through the FCC to control and regulate the Internet as a public utility.

Once the government gets involved in anything its game over for invention and options and this has never been truer than with government schools. Leeskalnin was a certified genius—click here to read more about him—and in his small book A Book in Every Home, he addressed the education problem emerging in America as early as the 1940s—well before the creation of the Department of Education which I have railed against so intensely. Many would look at the education methods from Leeskalnin’s day and declare that they were the best in the world and created some of the best people ever to walk the earth—they defeated Hitler, unified the world with technology sending people to the moon, encouraged the greatest period of economic growth ever seen in the world prior, brought equality to women, and people of color, and still had time to raise decent families. However, Leeskalnin was not impressed and dropped out of school in the 4th grade because it bored him. His complaints about school were similar to Einstein’s and both had little reverence for the government backed institutions.

In A Book in Every Home Leeskalnin had some very interesting thoughts about the quality of an education system and how to determine if it was any good. He stated:

 

Now, a few words about eduation. You know we receive an education in the schools from books. All those books that people became educated from twenty-five years ago, are wrong now, and those that are good now will be wrong again twenty-five years from now. So if they are wrong then, they are also wrong now, and the one who is educated from the wrong books is not educated, he is mislead. All books that are written are wrong, the one who is not educated cannot write a book and the one who is can be proved, to possess appreciation and self control.

 

Now, if you lack willingness to learn, you will remain as a brute and if you do things that are not good and right, you will be a low person, and if you believe in things that cannot be proved, any feeble minded person can lead you, and if you lack appreciation, it takes away the incentive for good doing and if you lack self control you will never know the limit.

 

So all those lacking these characteristics in their makeup are not eduated.

 

Essentially what Ed was saying in a manner that reminds me of the way Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War—which is still used today by military minds—is that most books are written by people not properly educated and of no mind to teach others. The government’s motivation in this debacle is revealed by their desire to go through the motions, yet still delivering people to an ignorant state so that they are easy to control by creating a society of the feeble minded. The government only wants to educate people in the methods of instruction that will lead to a career which serves the state—and not in the wisdom of perpetually obtaining knowledge.

To confirm the results of this vile approach just look at any slack jawed loser who has been trained by their public schools into incurable ignorance. Their minds were destroyed in public education and they now can do very little with their lives but show up at a job they trained for and vote for one of the two members of a political party. The rest of their lives are virtually wasted.

 

If society had listened to Tesla every home in the world could have free electrical power. There would never be grid failures but each power generation supply would operate like an air conditioning unit does now—they would run and supply free power for as long as the perpetual generator lasted instead of the J.P. Morgan backed debacle we ended up with through Edison. The government wanted unionized employees servicing a power grid, and that’s what we ended up with vulnerable to every downed tree, heavy wind, or car accident that hits a power line. Edward Leedskalnin and his anti-gravity techniques could eliminate huge power equipment for construction and manufacturing methods—but most of those suppliers of equipment are also unionized, and they don’t want average people to gain the ability to lift 20 to30 ton objects the way a child picks up a penny off the sidewalk. The technology is there, but it cannot be unlocked because government schools have taught mass swarms of individuals to think of the collective good before individual selfishness—and in that way nobody dares to provoke the systems put in place by government intrusion—to question their merits.

 

Yet if you step off the path the governments of the world have led you down dear reader—you will see easily that a better life is easily obtainable. Tesla discovered many of those secretes and so did Edward Leedskalnin. They tried to help people see those secrets by overcoming the public faith in a government backed education system and Leedskalnin’s books were obvious efforts toward that objective. Sadly, especially in Leedskalnin’s case he remained a hermit most of his life because it is just too tormenting for highly intelligent people like him to watch others behave so ignorantly following the same outdated education methods even in a time where the world envied the American system as the best in the world. Leedskalnin understood the deficiency and he tried to warn people of it—but they did not have a mind to listen.

 

Because of the poor educating methods applied to mass society, there are no minds able to unlock the secrets of Leedskalnin’s book Magnetic Current. There are only knuckle dragging assumptions that always look toward mother government for encouragement and breast milk. And the same slavery of ignorance which has persisted for millennia continues to ruin minds, destroy societies, and eradicate family structure. The only thing government schools are good for is creating compliant minds who will drink too much, shorten their lives considerably with unhealthy choices, and pay their taxes for the employment of slugs who eye every conceivable holiday with a yearning for the intoxication that comes from the hit of a bottle and too many groceries in the refrigerator—keeping them fat, dumb, and happy.

Allowing Loafers and Weaklings the Power to Vote: Edward Leedskalnin’s ‘A Book in Every Home’

I have reported on the work of Edward Leedskalnin before—the little man who mysteriously built Coral Castle in south Florida. I like the guy and his science and am puzzling through his mid-twentieth century writings for my new Cliffhanger project. In his writing is a unique glimpse into how people from a previous time thought contrary to the contemporary—which I have stated often I abhor. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT LEEDSKALNIN. It is not a debate that one of the greatest generations of Americans was the World War II generation, which Leedskalnin was a part of. He was also a fine example of an American mad scientist in that he was eccentric enough to remove his vantage point back far enough to provide commentary based on his unbiased observations. He marked these observations down in a small book called A Book in Every Home meant to impart wisdom to future generations curious about the little 5’ man who could lift 3 ton coral rocks like a child plays with toys. Leedskalnin is an American enigma and his writings are quite intriguing.

In his A Book in Every Home Leedskalnin only writes on the left side of the book leaving the right side for a future decoder of his cryptic work to decipher his numerous mathematical puzzles. He dares readers to attempt to top his work by writing their own contributions into those blank pages. Of course for my task, I’d rather leave them empty for the evolving analysis that I am conducting with his work. Rather, I will gladly place my thoughts on his work here in Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom for my readers to ponder. Leedskalnin’s written efforts are a time capsule through our own corrupted education systems softened by political communist infiltration over time. Leedskalnin’s mind was extremely observant of the human race and was unconcerned with political correctness. For me his work is refreshing as many of my thoughts are similar observations uncovered from under attempted suppressions by contemporary corruption. For instance, below is but one small section of his book that I will focus on in this article written about Leedskalnin’s view on voting. He says:

 

It is not sound to allow the weaklings to vote. Anyone who is too weak to make his own living is not strong enough to vote, because their weak influences weakens the state and a degenerated state cannot exist very long, but every state should be sound and lasting.

 

By voting, the voters dictate the state’s destiny for times to come and then allow such a weak influence to guide the state, it is not wise and so you see one should vote according to how he is carrying the State’s burden.

 

Another unwise thing about equal voting is that it gives the loafers and weaklings the power to take the property away from producers and stronger people, and then another unjust thing about equal voting is that it gives the loafers and weaklings the power to demand an easy life from the producers and leaders.

 

Self respecting producers will not stand such an injustice for long. It is not the producers’ fault when one is too weak to make his own living. The producer’s life is just as sweet as the weaklings and loafer’s life is to them. All people are independent so you see everybody will have to take care of themselves and if they cannot, they should perish and the sooner they perish the better it will be.

To be lasting, the government should be built in the same way as the Supreme power of the land “the army.” Governments have been rising and falling but the army always remains. You know there is no equality in army and so there can be no equality in the state. If you are not an equal producer you cannot be an equal consumer.

 

In hindsight what Leedskalnin has said has proven 100% correct. From the vantage point of the counter-culture hippies and bra burning despots, Leedskalnin was participating in hate speech, but from the context of historical accuracy, nobody could argue the truth of his statements. The only criticism possible is to declare that it is mean-spirited to allow the weak in society to perish while the strong prosper and that it is up to the intellect of mankind to outthink the whole survival of the fittest mentality. However, which is a better mentality for the collective whole, the view-point of progressives who want to raise all boats even those with holes in them determined to remain on the ocean floor, or people like Leedskalnin who thinks society should advance regardless of those who desire to be the bottom feeders drowning from their own ineptitude? Obviously, the old hippie model has brought us all the elements that Leedskalnin predicted, so it was the little 100 pound man who stood at just 5’ in stature who said that weaklings should perish if they do not desire to be strong—that society should see itself as an army not as a government of equals—because such a view forces the strong to be weak so that the weak do not feel lowered in value.

There is no modern choice for the strong but to diminish themselves to the weak as the lesser have no ambition to become strong. So when society decides to make all people equal whether they are producers or takers the takers will always have leverage over the producers. This of course leads to the monstrosity that we have today in modern politics—a valueless system of corruption and disaster—just as Leedskalnin said it would. It’s not mean to say the truth unless the desire for society at large is to hide the truth from their own eyes to fulfill a fantasy of equality as possible no matter what level of ambition that an individual exhibits.

All people are created equal, as our founding documents in America declare. From there people make choices—even the mentally handicapped have opportunities under capitalism to overcome their stature and become something more. But people have to decide if they wish to become leaders or followers. Most people desire to be led about and to follow behind someone on the cutting edge. Those people are not equal to the leaders. It takes courage to be a leader and courage is lacking from the typical follower. So when the decision to become a follower is made, those people surrender their rights to be equal to a leader. There is no way to trick the system into some behavioral nonsense when distinctions between the strong and the weak need to be made.

For the followers nobody is proposing that they be blasted into space or imprisoned for foolishness—or even left to die. Actually Leedsalnin did say it would be better for weak people to die, but what he pointed out is that a democracy cannot survive if weak people have equal rights to vote with strong people—because the weak are not qualified to make proper decisions about such matters. In modern times we can now see what happens, campaign donations are horrendously high, progressives are pushing the ignorant to vote so that they can have wind in their sails of insurrection toward communist thought and the entire political system is bent around the will of lobbyists because of the intellectual vacuum created by such a failed system. When the weak are mixed with the strong and all assumed equal, the weak bring down the value of the strong and the sum of democracy becomes lessened.

All people do start in life equally, but as decisions are made in those lives a vast number of any given social population will desire to fall behind a leader. Such people then cannot expect to have the right to vote equally with people who have proven themselves to be leaders. To allow such a thing brings about the very conditions we are struggling with in American society presently. A continuation of that commitment will only lead to more of the terrible behavior currently witnessed on the political scene.

As hard as Leedskalnin’s comments were in the context of the World War II generation toward an emerging threat that he saw percolating through his scientific observations of unquestioned genius—the results are now confirmed. The progressives ran away from such wisdom and guided society to a precipice of destruction. At the time of his writing, Leedskalnin in his little book A Book in Every Home could not prove the debacle that would soon come from the 1960s in America continuing to the present—but he did predict it. Now looking back, it is time to analyze what values we must carry with us into the future knowing what we do. To fail such a task would be to doom ourselves to our own extinction. The weak cannot be made to sap off the strong so to make everyone equal because that is the only way such a thing can occur. The sum than of such a society is one relegated to the efforts of the weak and not the strong—which does nobody any good—not the weak or the strong. So it is time to take seriously the wisdom of our past and apply it to the future and a good place to start is where Leedskalnin properly identified a potential failure in American democracy within a republic—at the voting booth and the type of people qualified to handle such an important task.

Gene Simmons ‘Me Inc’: How to be an army of one

 Last thanksgiving during the Macy’s Parade I turned off the broadcast because of the Kinky Boots segment. It was too much for my holiday mindset and I didn’t want to see a bunch of guys dressed in drag running around in high-heeled boots. I wouldn’t consider seeing the play in New York, and I really didn’t want to see it on my television. I gave the LGBT people a chance once to pitch their argument and they gave me the Rocky Horror Picture Show—so that window closed and I’m done with them forever. What a ridiculous movement—no wonder they will remain a minority influence in American politics. However, the following year during the 2014 Macy’s Parade they cleaned up their act quite a lot seeking correctly to appeal to not just the red states across America, but the red counties. If any political map is studied, it becomes obvious that there is a lot of American real-estate that is undoubtedly conservative based and major supporters of capitalist endeavors. Liberals are rare in the core of America and Macy’s was seeking to repair their image with them—so it was with great welcome that the old rock band KISS gave a performance right in front of Macy’s dressed in full make-up and shooting fire at the end of their number just like in their concerts.

The only thing that KISS has in common with people in the LGBT community is that they dress up in strange costumes. The rock group KISS led by Gene Simmons is a comic book inspired unequivocal capitalist endeavor that has been a smartly guided enterprise by the former Hungarian immigrant. Simmons inspired by the Beatles created a stage presence that could have only been established in an American capitalist market combining comic book antics with rock and roll to create for himself over $300 million in net worth. Gene Simmons is a smart guy who marketed his band KISS in a way that redefined the music industry, so it was nice to see the 65-year-old rocker blasting away the streets of New York City on a cold November morning.

Gene Simmons is a unique personality that has always been excessively bold—unflinchingly confident, and unceremoniously blunt. He is the exact opposite to the counter-culture movement featuring socialist peace and love protestors looking for collective salvation—but instead represents raw individualism and self-reliance. As a businessman he has a similar personality as Donald Trump because it takes those types of people to create things from nothing. Not everyone can launch a business endeavor, and even fewer have the ability to manage others toward a task on the horizon only they can see. It takes a unique personality type to perform such a task so it shouldn’t be a surprise that Gene Simmons is the type of direct person that he is. He lives the way he wants to, he believes what he wants, he does what he thinks is right not measuring reaction against society’s gatekeepers, and if you don’t like it, he’ll just breathe fire on you and spit up some blood to assault puritan sensibilities.

Simmons has a new book out called Me, Inc and readers of this site will likely understand that there is a reoccurring theme that taps into the kind of work Ayn Rand was exploring about what makes a great entrepreneur and general businessman so successful. Her explorations were in direct contrast to the socialist movement of the twentieth century as a means of study into American capitalism as opposed to European communism. Not everyone is qualified to manage things–people or resources. Often it is a lonely enterprise conducting life as a visionary where only one or two people can see what the goal is, as everyone else sits around waiting to be shown the path to success. Gene Simmons knows what that lonely road is like and he features those values in his new book.

If someone really wants success in life brown-nosing your way to the top isn’t going to cut it. Sending a potted plant to your boss on Christmas won’t help you achieve the levels of success that lead to boasting around the holiday dinner table, it just makes them a suck-ass. Success is not achieved “through” others, but over them. Most of the time people who decide to stand in the way of your vision will have to be run over to get where you want to go. This notion of collective bargaining and consensus is utterly despicable, and ridiculous. Gene Simmons like Donald Trump has written a book that articulates just that very trait for the would-be successful dreamer seeking to take an idea from murky thoughts into hard reality. In that process people will be run over because they are all too willing to stand in the street to halt your progress and as a visionary, you cannot have compassion for their misery when they force you to eradicate their self-imposed barriers.

Just shortly after watching Simmons KISS performance at the Macy’s Parade I received a parade of texts from well-wishers and brownnosers.   Some of those people were sincere and I replied back, most were just looking for a way to get on my good side for some future leverage. My son-in-law and I were at these moments talking about our new plans for the Cliffhanger stories and planning a video shoot to promote it early in 2015. I brought up some names of people to work with and one of them he immediately and ruthlessly dismissed not because the person was a bad person, but because he brought nothing to the table. It reminded me that I was including this person purely out of sentimentality and that this particular endeavor didn’t need to be watered down with such stagnation if we wanted it to work. My son-in-law showed good business sense in his decision and he has not yet read Gene’s new book. But it is those kinds of hard decisions that are required with any business enterprise from music delivery to complicated manufacturing. The coddled masses just do not have what it takes to push an idea of vision across a finish line and sentimentality often leads to destruction of an enterprise. It’s not that people’s opinions don’t have value, but that value often contributes itself to the customer base instead of the creative edge where things are created from nothing. In a nation that is currently struggling under a failed education system taught incorrectly to make decisions by encounter groups, the way to repair the debacle is with Gene’s new book Me, Inc: Build an army of one, unleash your inner rock god, win in life and business. Young people could especially use Gene’s new book as a means of re-educating them into the traits of successful people. They are not learning the correct means to business in colleges and government schools. Performing what is taught in those palaces of stupidity will lead fledgling young business people to crashing defeat in whatever their endeavors might be.

Even liberals got excited when they saw KISS performing in front of Macy’s because there is honesty to that rock group and specifically Gene Simmons that is uniquely American. Americans don’t need to explain themselves just as Gene doesn’t. All that matters in the end are results and America has those results when they act alone. It fails when America seeks consensus with other countries just like people fail when they act aside from the leadership of a visionary. Gene Simmons is a proud individual who offers no apologies. Most of the world could use the message in his new book. He has written it not because he needs the money, but because the old school teacher in him still wants to help people by teaching them to help themselves. Hopefully, many will take him up on his offer. Those who do will greatly benefit.

Life as a Conductor: What to be thankful for

We are taught during our educations that we can only be good at one or two things at any given point in our lives, and that we must choose between what is important and what is not. Any idiot who has said these things to you lied—they were vile spinsters of bottomless deceit. They are spinsters not in the usual sense of the sexes and definition of unsanctified matrimony, but in their lack of ability to merge with the heartbeat of life living a unknowing existence driven by ignorance just as the loveless life of a spinster does not know the joy of marital bliss. By default we enter life metaphorically as a musical instrument only able to play the notes of our intellect as our development teaches us to articulate the world around us. When we are teenagers we may develop the complexity of a rock song, able to string together a few musical instruments into a catchy beat. But as we get older, our personal music should become much more complex and dynamic. And if we do things correctly, we should be conducting personal symphonies by the time we are in our middle to elderly years. The notes of our life even down to the smallest subtly should be interwoven into our existence at every level and played as one giant musical number daily. For me at this point in my life, the musical track #13 on the new Interstellar soundtrack reflects my personal level of ability to conduct a personal symphony. The music heard below starts slow but gradually increases to a pitch of very complicated musical compositions including a massive pipe organ that merges from the background music to the forefront, which is very reflective of the type of life I am living. It is a wonderful piece extremely metaphorical—personally.

Success in business should not be shackled by success at home with a family—both are important and there is no reason why you should not be able to get on the floor and play with a grandchild while juggling millions of dollars worth the assets and still articulating important philosophy to adult children. A wife needs love and cannot be neglected do to other interests, but those other interests cannot be neglected by the attention hungry spouse either—just as all music in a complex symphony wants to be heard for the grand fortissimo of their composition. The strings cannot complain that the percussion overwhelms their utterances—it is the conductor’s job to put all those notes at play. It is that step of conductor from simple musician that we must make in our lives if we are to meet the challenges before us as a waking awareness demands.

It was an especially proud moment for me when my grandson said, “OK boss,” when we were playing the other day. That is a term I use with people to let them know I see them as important and that I don’t impose my authority over them in a way that can be seen distracting. I mean it in a respectful way, and I say it to my grandson as a way to show him that his intellect is important and that I am respectful to his awaking knowledge. But as a child with limited instruments to conduct his own symphony with, he can only yet repeat what is said around him as a two-year old. But as we were playing my wife was cooking for Thanksgiving dinner, I was receiving texts from across the world needing answers, and four members of my immediate family have birthdays that desired my ordainment all within a few days of each other. There would be no way to playing all those musical instruments metaphorically speaking with a simply lyrical song such as some rap, or rock beat. Only a symphony is able to pay all those necessities the attention the simultaneously deserve. But to play them it requires a conductor to stand in front of them all and provide direction—leadership, and respect for what they all bring to the table for the composition needed.

For instance, in the Hans Zimmer piece referred, the pipe organ by itself is quite a complex instrument. It could easily be a metaphor for a needy wife or overbearing child that desires exclusive treatment. But to play just organ music when a much more complex piece of music is needed to tell the story of our lives would be to stifle our lives to that limitation, which would be destructive—and corrosive. But you cannot do as many people I know did on the night before Thanksgiving when a symphony was required in their lives to meet all their objectives—you cannot go and get into a drunken state as a declaration of indecision. All the instruments of your life need to be played and they need a conductor to make them work in unison. If things are done correctly, you will become your own personal conductor in a life of music that is enchanting and unique. But if you fail, the many instruments of your life will sit waiting for your direction and without it, they never make a sound—but just sit there rotting.

Most of the hard feelings not talked about around Thanksgiving dinner tables come from this failure to conduct the symphonies of which we all play a part. Some people just don’t feel comfortable with string instruments, or the brass. Some don’t like organ music, some prefer the piano—but the weakness is in not embracing all those elements equally and taking charge as an intellectual conductor who can hear the tiniest note mixed with the most complex fortissimo of full notes in a tight beat. Failure to embrace a full symphony in our lives and instead insist on the simple music of our youth is the source of the tragedy. There is no excuse—“but I’m only one person.” There is only the need of a conductor and the fulfillment of those terms.

I enjoyed Thanksgiving in 2014 because my personal fortissimo was much more complicated than the year before and has progressed that way for over 25 consecutive years, which is a measure I hold in relation to myself. I cannot imagine a more complex piece of personal music to conduct as the one I have performed over the last 24 hours. But I will strive next year to improve upon it as only a conductor can. It is not the job of the conductor to play every instrument in their symphony, just to have an understanding of how to play them all. To do so well takes living life and practicing with all of them—and it takes years to master. But when you do, the music that can be made as a conductor unifying all those elements together can be quite a miracle, and the benefactor of many minds who are directly, or indirectly touched by the music you make. It is possible to be good at many things and to do all those things as the same time. The difference is that we must evolve our musical tastes from the very simple—the tunes of our youth—to the tunes of an adult living a full life as masters of many complex skills played in unison to conduct music only we can for ends specific to our intentions. But we must also do so without expecting the members of our symphony to always be happy just playing instruments for us—but to encourage them to evolve into conductors of their own as their skills flourish.

It is good to encourage the members of our own personal symphonies to be their own boss in due time so that the music that enters the world can evolve into the complex utterances that existence demands without the restriction of excuses and lazy, paranoid, lackluster that would rather bask in drunkenness than to shoulder the responsibility of living life as a conductor for the next grand fortissimo. When I say to people, “OK boss,” it is to get them past the shock of authority so that they can as quickly as possible settle in to conducting their own music the way only they can. It is to step beyond that silly human need to be important by title only—and to step up to the podium and before an awaiting orchestra to begin a tune lead by a conductor who has mastered every instrument and is uniquely positioned to lead them all without pretense.

What am I most thankful to on Thanksgiving—music—the hidden beats of intellects striving to be heard against the cold repression of stoic indifference and fear of the unknown.

Communism in Ferguson: The unstated menace behind violant riots in America

Watch all the videos on this article for the proof of the following text:

They may not call it by name, but much of the behavior rooted in what has become known as black community relations is undoubtedly communist. During the Cold War communist sleeper cells penetrated college campuses and black leadership to inject that vile political philosophy into those communities through a mask of progressivism. Two movements spun off this activity, the counter-culture hippie movement and the various Civil Rights protests advanced by the Black Panthers—not to be confused with the good work of the Republican Martin Luther King. Behind much of that radical behavior in the 60s and 70s was communist insurgency.

During the 80s and 90s the communists changed their names and hid their activity behind labor union policy, black community religion, and progressive politics. Occasionally they called themselves who they were, but generally hid their behavior behind the designation of “alternative.” In most large cities there are always “alternative” newspapers that mostly steer their efforts at college campuses, sexual perverts, and the black community. In St Louis just such a newspaper was called the Revolution and they were actually at the press conference with Governor Jay Nixon prior to the Ferguson grand jury decision. The exchange can be seen at the video below followed by the way The Blaze reported it. If anyone doubted these claims I have made here, and in the past about the influences which have driven black communities all over America into the very poverty they suffer from, this reporter from the Revolution is all the proof needed. Clearly he advocated the very behavior that the people in Ferguson followed as soon as the grand jury decision was made.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was interrupted Monday evening while delivering a press conference ahead of the Ferguson grand jury decision by a supposed journalist with a communist newspaper.

“Excuse, me! Governor Nixon, wouldn’t the lack of an indictment be a justification of police violence and lead to more police violence —,” the man, identified as Larry Evers from the “Revolution” newspaper, said.

“I’ve called on this man first,” interjected Nixon.

However, Evers continued asking his question.

“And if I might ask you, you need to let the alternative press speak here,” he said.

“So wouldn’t a lack of indictment mean fear for black people all over this country and effectively a green light for police violence?” Evers continued. “And second, I would like to pose to you, how you would respond to call by … the Revolution Communist Party that if officer Darren Wilson is not indicted … the country be brought to a halt through energetic, civil disobedience by millions of people.”

Nixon dismissed Evers by saying he did not know the grand jury’s verdict or what the prosecutor was set to announce.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/11/24/watch-the-moment-a-communist-interrupted-missouri-gov-jay-nixons-ferguson-press-conference/

Progressive groups largely in control of the black neighborhoods have exposed their tendency toward social collectivism have for years used them to advocate the spread of communism as Karl Marx always intended. That demographic group has been used as pawns in the intense desire to spread communism through capitalist economies. Most of the protestors in the wake of the Ferguson riots would not call themselves communists, but their social beliefs fall nearly in line with that old collectivist mentality. This is because they were trained to believe in communism without calling those beliefs by the official name—instead it was called “democracy,” or “fairness.” However the underlying beliefs were communism advanced through deceit to exploit a race of people who were already primed for revolution.

People like Larry Evers—the communist reporter are just reminders of how much the “alternative” wing of social politics are manipulating the ignorant and easily swayed toward a revolution of their desire. They will exploit any opportunity, and the Ferguson grand jury announcement was just as good as any. Those who still believe in communism must find reasons to churn up the disenchanted with a level of hate that is driven by a perception of their own creation. For instance, the thugs, goons, and low-life’s who took to the streets to vandalize their community supposedly over outrage that a young black male was shot by a white police officer—immediately targeted the capitalist endeavors in their communities. One of the first targets was the burning down of a Little Casers Pizza place which they will regret terribly in a few weeks when they want a $5 pizza.   Another target was a local Dollar Store along with many other store fronts with an obvious militant attitude against capitalist oriented objectives. The rage toward the police is only a ruse as they have been portrayed to represent the protection of private property for “white, capitalist, America” and the “imperialism that it imposes throughout the world.

One of the primary beliefs of communism is the eradication of private property so that everything is collectively owned. The anger at the police is that one of their prime motives is the protection of private property, so when a mass of protestors want to insult the police, they attack the police ability to provide that security. That is the military objective behind the behavior. For the street thug, they are not aware of this higher strategy, but people like Larry Evers is as he represents the radical far left beliefs. His point in addressing Governor Jay Nixon was to let the public know that communists were present behind the Ferguson riots providing news outlets like CNN, and MSNBC along with USA Today to appear as left-leaning moderates. Once the public accepts that those news outlets are the baseline of belief, then outlets like talk radio, and Fox News look to be as radical as the communists—in the court of public opinion. But, CNN and the like-minded affiliates are slowly percolating the same progressive positions inspired by Cold War communism with gentle nudges in support of the protestors—radicalized on the streets by newspapers written by people like Evers, or reverends in their churches invoking open communism through collective salvation.

Most of America is wondering what the riots are really about because what is being shown doesn’t make logical sense. The reason for the mystery is not racism or even aggressive police work—but in the bringing down of “white” (capitalist) America in favor of a social movement toward mass collectivism. Those radicals don’t care if it is little “C” communism or progressivism—they only care to advance their cause against capitalism—by any means. To understand the Ferguson riots it is only possible to identify the correct forces behind the movement instead of the allegations of racism—which are used to mask it. To understand what is really behind the riots just read Larry Evers or any progressive newspaper in any city in the country and you will see.

For instance this is how the progressive newspaper City Beat in Cincinnati covered the story. City Beat’s approach is to sell itself as everybody’s friend regarding life in Cincinnati. They tell you the highlights of the news, what music is playing where, and what’s the latest and greatest in the art world. But sprinkled into their dialogue are heavy-handed progressive diatribes with a very left-leaning tendency. Click the link below.

http://citybeat.com/cincinnati/blog-6113-morning_news_and_stuff.html

Now, I’m sure people with the memory of a shallow stream dried up during a July drought will think that I’m reaching by making such a comparison. For those people the proof is in the link below from that same publication mourning the loss of Mark Mallory as mayor.

http://citybeat.com/cincinnati/article-19452-conservative_policies_and_progressive_voices.html

City Beat is not as open about their social collectivism as Larry Evers is, but their intent is the same, to stir unrest among the black communities so that protests in their favor will always have a willing army. Every city has these provocateurs, and it is they who keep those poor people impoverished with derelict concepts and faulting thinking. It is the sympathy toward communism that is so implanted in black communities that these progressive newspapers use to churn up their desire for revolution against any symbol of capitalism, whether it is a business, or the police who protect those businesses. A whole society of people have been kept in deliberate ignorance by social reformers like Larry Evers with the intent to use them to advance a social agenda started during the Cold War—which is still alive and well, and very much a threat. The evidence of that threat is the Ferguson riots.

How serious is this situation? Well, read this link and you’ll know the extent.

Edward Leedskalnin: Secrets of magnatisim and the tragedy of “soiled” young girls

I really like Edward Leedskalnin. He was my kind of guy and is one of those obscure geniuses who never had a fair shake during his lifetime, but likely held the secrets that many in the human race most decidedly crave. It is likely that he had the intelligence of Einstein without the fame or platform—and being a natural recluse whose hobby was “thinking,” the outside world just never considered the importance of his work or gave him the respect he deserved. But Leedskalnin likely preferred it that way.

Edward Leedskalnin (Latvian: Edvards Liedskalniņš) (January 12, 1887, Stāmeriena parish, Livonia; December 7, 1951, Miami) was an eccentric Latvian emigrant to the United States and amateur sculptor who single-handedly built the monument known as Coral Castle in Florida. He was also known for his obscure theories on magnetism.

Edward Leedskalnin was born January 12, 1887, according to World War I draft registration records, in Stāmeriena parish, Latvia. Little is known of his childhood, aside from the fact that he was not wealthy and achieved only a fourth-grade education. However Edward was a sickly boy, and often spent his time inside reading books — eventually leading him to discontinue his schooling as it “bored him”. For Ed, his development of a yearning to obtain knowledge became a passionate and potent driving force in many endeavors throughout his later life.[2] At the age of 26, he was engaged to marry Agnes Scuffs, a girl ten years younger.[3] However, the girl that Leedskalnin referred to as his “Sweet Sixteen” broke the engagement the night before their wedding, so he emigrated to North America[4] where he found work in various lumber camps in Canada, California, and Texas.

Then, after contracting a case of tuberculosis, Leedskalnin moved to the warmer climate of Florida around 1919, where he purchased a small piece of land in Florida City. Over the next 20 years, Leedskalnin putatively constructed and lived within a massive coral monument he called “Rock Gate Park”, dedicated to the girl who had left him years before. Working alone at night, Leedskalnin eventually quarried and sculpted over 1,100 short tons (997,903 kg) of coral into a monument that would later be known as the Coral Castle. He used various basic tools, several made from timber and parts of an old Ford; first he built a house out of coral and timber, then he gradually built the monuments for which he is famous.[4] In spite of his private nature, he eventually opened his monument to the public, offering tours for 10 cents. He was a surprisingly accommodating host, even cooking hot dogs for visiting children in a pressure cooker of his own invention.

When people asked Leedskalnin how he had moved all of the stone by himself, he refused to give over his method and would only reply to whoever was asking with the same statement: “I understand the laws of weight and leverage and I know the secrets of the people who built the pyramids (being those at the site at Giza in Egypt).”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Leedskalnin

Coral Castle is a stone structure created by the Latvian American eccentric Edward Leedskalnin (1887–1951) north of the city of Homestead, Florida in Miami-Dade County at the intersection of South Dixie Highway (U.S. 1) and SW 157th Avenue. The structure comprises numerous megalithic stones (mostly limestone formed from coral), each weighing several tons.[2] It currently serves as a privately operated tourist attraction. Coral Castle is noted for legends surrounding its creation that claim it was built single-handedly by Leedskalnin using reverse magnetism and/or supernatural abilities to move and carve numerous stones weighing many tons.[3]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_Castle

He was also a writer and published a few books, one on education and politics, and another on the mysteries of magnetism. Leedskalnin’s first and longest booklet, a treatise on moral education, was printed on only the left-hand pages, and begins with the following preface:

Reader, if for any reason you do not like the things I say in the little book, I left just as much space as I used, so you can write your own opinion opposite it and see if you can do better.

The Author

In the first section, Leedskalnin vents his anger at his “Sweet Sixteen”, arguing that girls should be kept pure, and that boys are primarily a soiling influence upon them. On page 4 of A Book in Every Home, Leedskalnin writes:

“Everything we do should be for some good purpose but as everybody knows there is nothing good that can come to a girl from a fresh boy. When a girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, she is as good as she ever will be, but when a boy is sixteen years old, he is then fresher than in all his stages of development. He is then not big enough to work but he is too big to be kept in a nursery and then to allow such a fresh thing to soil a girl — it could not work on my girl. Now I will tell you about soiling. Anything that is done, if it is done with the right party it is all right, but when it is done with the wrong party, it is soiling, and concerning those fresh boys with the girls, it is wrong every time.”

The second section continues along the theme of moral education, with several aphorisms aimed at parents regarding the proper way to raise children. The last, “Political” section reveals that the reclusive Leedskalnin had strong political views. He advocates voting for property owners only (and in proportion to their holdings), and argues that “Anyone who is too weak to make his own living is not strong enough to vote.”

Some writers have suggested that Leedskalnin’s booklet contains further information on his electromagnetic research and philosophies encoded in its pages, and the blank pages are provided for the reader to fill in their decrypted solutions. It has also been suggested that Leedskalnin’s frequent referral to his “Sweet Sixteen” may in fact refer to the numerological and/or scientific relevance of the number sixteen to his research and theories.[6]

Leedskalnin’s ideas may appear unusual. He wrote that a mother’s most important task is to ensure that her daughter remains “chaste and faithful”:[4]

“In case a girl’s mamma thinks that there is a boy somewhere who needs experience then she, herself, could pose as an experimental station for that fresh boy to practice on and so save the girl. Nothing can hurt her any more. She has already gone through all the experience that can be gone through and so in her case it would be all right”

I find myself agreeing emphatically with Leedskalnin on most of his social and political positions and believe that he was tapped into the elusive power of magnetism as they have a direct effect on concepts of anti-gravity manipulation. His science as obscure as it was indicated by his writing was firmly rooted in a value system driven obviously by the lost love of a potential wife whom it appears he never got over. He applied his massive intellect toward building a magnificent castle garden for her, but she never came. Even at the turn of the century, he was already observing the corrosive effect that males have on females when he references how they “soil them.” And he’s right, just imagine what his thoughts of girls today would be—they are “soiled” at age 11 and 12 now through the same public education system that he found so boring.

Leedskalnin chose to be a recluse it appears for similar reasons that I limit my social contacts—because people are disappointing—they often fail to live up to their potential and are often relegated to poor personal standards. Leedskalnin saw one of those social failures occurring at the young age of women becoming soiled by males—which then lowers the ambition of the males ones they get what they wanted—the benefits of the young woman’s loins. I often have similar thoughts, older women look too often like used up husks and males no longer want to hunt in their loins since the endeavor becomes easy. So the males turn toward younger women not yet ruined by life and its disappointments. Currently we have an education system which seeks to exacerbate this crisis instead of rectifying it with value and that is certainly not good for civilization. Knowing these kinds of things makes dealing with people difficult—deeply laborious in fact—because people can only take from you and have little to give back leaving the thinking person always feeling emptied by such human presences.

So are people like Leedskalnin wrong? Of course not, nobody else in America or the world currently has been levitating three-ton rocks around with anti-gravity devices—no university has discovered his secrets through his decoded writings. He left hints, but a non-thinking world just doesn’t have what it takes to perform the task. And to him the origin of the problem was with women—a woman that left him at the altar likely for a more exciting man. He blames the girl’s mother for not establishing the proper virtue in causing her heart to behold a man who could lift massive stones with just simple garden tools and an ancient secret as opposed to the football star, the Wall Street financier, or the fancy pants scum bag who could purchase a large diamond for her finger to show off to her friends. A failure to have a society of quality women has led to a degeneration of men who simply no longer wish to work for anything any more—especially sex. The young men of our day are a grotesque species pampered from birth to have everything given to them so as adults they only want to soil up women to deposit themselves in so that they can return back to their video games. It is that loss of intellect that has prevented others from discovering the secrets of Leedskalnin even though he posed the challenge gently hoping for takers to solve his riddles. Sadly, most of a century later—he has not had any real takers because of the soiled women and lazy men rotten from their public educations. I like Leedskalnin so much because for once I feel like I’m not the only one saying these kinds of things. For society, they have to weigh out the value of collective foolishness over individual genius—such as what Edward Leedskalnin had. For me, I’ll pick the advice of a guy who can levitate giant rocks over the average Joe who only wants to soil women, any day of the week. The values of the two are not even relative to one another. And it is in the former that the keys to civilization’s future reside. The trouble is that we do not teach our young to recognize this value—which is a tragic loss to human potential now and so long as it continues.

Mighty Mike and ‘Blackfish’: In defence of Sea World–the hypocrisy of CNN

It’s not a secret that I support and love the Newport Aquarium. Over the years I have never grown tired of it, and consider it one of the great Midwest destination points. For travelers coming from New York, Europe, and Malaysia or anywhere for that matter, even Florida—the Newport Aquarium is a combination of spectacular river views, one of the best overlooks of the Cincinnati cityscape there is coupled with an intense love of aquatic conservation. It is a Cincinnati treasure that never wears out. The sharks, and fish exhibits are wonderful—they are top class. But, it is the Turtle Canyon and Alligator Alley that really set this aquarium apart from others and makes Newport such a special place. The animals at the aquarium are lucky to be there—especially Mighty Mike—the 14 ft alligator designated for destruction in Florida when he was found to be too much of a menace to leave alone by the conservation department. Mighty Mike if left in the wild would have been destroyed—but because of places like the Newport Aquarium there was a justifiable reason to capture the large animal and put him in a resort so people could learn about him while also giving him the most optimal surroundings to retire in as he is estimated to be around 50 years old—old for an alligator.

Mighty Mike left the Aquarium in 2011 for a bit of a tour at a zoo but has returned in the spring of 2014 to a new exhibit much more accommodating for the large creature. Here Mike gets spoon fed a few times a week and gets to hang out in a perfectly climate controlled area that never changes. The new exhibit area spans 44 feet and holds 8,000 gallons of water. This makes the new area 30 percent bigger than Mighty Mike’s previous display space. His viewing height is just over 40 inches above floor level when he’s floating in the water. This puts Mighty Mike at the perfect height for children’s viewing.

The water temperature is kept at 80 degrees, ideal for American alligators. New heaters were installed in the area to assure the temperature is met year-round, and new UV sterilization systems assure that the water quality and clarity is pristine for the Aquarium’s large guest. In addition, a 12-foot by 14-foot basking area was constructed for Mighty Mike’s favorite pastime: sunning.

Over 7,000 pounds of concrete have been mixed, colored and hand-applied to the new exhibit area to create faux-rock work, along with over 3,000 pounds of sand for the habitat.

Without tourism like some of the alligator farms in Florida and the Newport Aquarium, animals like Mighty Mike would be destroyed as a menace. If he lived in Africa which hosts a human population still subservient to wildlife due to technological insufficiency Mighty Mike would not have many natural predators. But in Florida—he was just too big to be kept in the wild. Mankind is not subservient to animal life, but is in command of it—that is an important distinction for what I’m going to say next. Also, human life is not more important than intellectual understanding. Humans need to know, to press the bounds of limitation. Advancement technical and intellectual is more important than the death of any individual—such as the case involving the recent Virgin Galactic crash. Just because handling a large alligator like Mighty Mike is dangerous does not mean that there should not be an attempt so that millions of visitors to the Newport Aquarium can learn about the large creature up close and personal. If an occasional trainer is injured or even killed in that process it is worth the experience and preservation of the animal.

This has never been truer than the recent trouble that Sea World is having after CNN aired purposely in support of their radical left winged agenda driven regressive human position the documentary flop called Blackfish. The film was a flop because it only made $2,073,582 during its release. For comparison of how much money that is consider that the films of the Atlas Shrugged series made more money and they were considered a horrible box office disappointment that were castigated by virtually every national media outlet and critics associations. Yet CNN picked up the rights showing the film in October of 2014 causing stock for Sea World to plummet because it was there that regular people and not progressive radicals saw the movie.

Blackfish is a 2013 documentary directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite. The film premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2013, and was picked up by Magnolia Pictures and CNN Films for wider release.

Blackfish focuses on Tilikum, an orca held by SeaWorld, and the controversy over captive killer whales.

The documentary[1] focuses on the captivity of Tilikum, an orca involved in the deaths of three individuals, and the consequences of keeping orcas in captivity. The coverage of Tilikum includes his capture in 1983 off the coast of Iceland, and purported harassment by fellow captive orcas at Sealand of the Pacific, incidents that Cowperthwaite argues contributed to the orca’s aggression and includes testimonial from Lori Marino, Director of Science with Nonhuman Rights Project. Cowperthwaite also focuses on SeaWorld‘s claims that lifespans of orcas in captivity are comparable to those in the wild,[2] typically 30 years for males and 50 years for females,[3] a claim the film argues is false.[4] Interview subjects also include former SeaWorld trainers, such as John Hargrove, who describe their experiences with Tilikum and other captive whales.

Cowperthwaite began work on the film after the 2010 death of Tilikum’s trainer Dawn Brancheau and in response to the claim that the orca had targeted the trainer because she had worn her hair in a ponytail.[5] Cowperthwaite argued that this claim had been conjecture and that “there had to be more to this story”.[5]

The film premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2013, and was picked up by Magnolia Pictures and CNN Films for wider release.[4]

I love Sea World and find the whale shows enchanting. Yes the killer whales on display there are dangerous, and yes they do occasionally kill trainers, or maim them. Sometimes it is playfully; sometimes they just don’t know their own strength, and sometimes the whales primal instincts come in and they grab a trainer by the leg and drag them deep into the water to drown them. Gabriela Cowperthwaite because her film attacked the “corporation” of Sea World was paraded around from interview to interview by the progressive media hoping to catch fire to her film. Under the entire enterprise is an attack on the corporate nature of Sea World and an intense desire to bring it down. It reminded me of the several films done against Wal-Mart and McDonald’s over the years attacking the corporate profits generated by these types of companies with a barely disguised effort to destroy capitalism behind a ruse of conservation.

Cowperthwaite behaving like a typical neurotic mom type overly careful in her raising of her children—as one of those bicycle helmet safety first parents who strap their kids up to the chin in padding so they can ride their bikes down the driveway of their house—took it upon her self after seeing an orca whale at Sea World kill a trainer to expose the entertainment giant as a profit first greedy company of exploitive evil. She won awards, critical acclaim and a fan following within progressive circles and nut cases like the PETA girls who stand naked in public to protest the harmful treatment of animals. The movie didn’t get any play until CNN offered the film for free on its news station and it was there that it received a bit of an audience.

This has of course put Sea World on the defensive—because it takes a lot of money driven by profit to run those massive parks—and care for all their animals. The Cowperthwaite argument that Sea World’s animals would live longer in the wild, or have a dominate dorsal fin sticking up erect in the water if they were wild is built on the premise that corporations are evil while nature is an eternal benefactor.

The truth about Tilikum featured in Blackfish is that he was an abused whale and was not the most dominant of his herd—meaning in the wild he would have to compete for mating rights, food and even social status with more dominant killer whales. It is unlikely that he would survive long in the wild, but at Sea World he at least is able to live well in nice climate controlled waters and is fed every day on time by people at Sea World who generally cares about him. Yes he is profitable to Sea World—and he has a lot more value to the human population at Sea World than he did off the coast of Iceland—of which people like Cowperthwaite and the geniuses at CNN would declare—“who are we to say such things?” Well the answer is that human beings right to know supersedes nature and even human life if our species is to advance. Progressives (regressives) actually desire to return back to the nature worship of our primitive past when we did not have tools to deal with such monsters of the ocean, or decedents of the dinosaur like Mighty Mike—the alligator.

The attack on Sea World is the same communist rhetoric which founded the progressive movement to begin with—their intention is not animal conservation, which is arguably far better for the animals under Sea World’s care than in the wild—it is the corporate nature of profit that Sea World uses to propel its conservation awareness. Leftist groups that have rallied behind Cowperthwaite’s film wish to use her motherly panic to attack yet another American corporation with the hopes of devaluing it into nothingness. Largely, by the investment reports regarding Sea World, CNN was successful as the stock price plummeted after the October airing of Blackfish.

For those who really love earth’s animals and wish to learn more about them, a zoo, an aquarium or an amusement park dedicated to that study is a wonderful invention. The most important thing to nurture in the human race is the development of their minds—even if death is sometimes a factor. Safety is not more important than intellectual understanding. Cowperthwaite’s panic over what her children saw at Sea World when Tilikum turned on its trainers stroked the fires of activism in her taking a film maker who needed a project that would have some legs and left her to exploit a corporation that does considerable good for oceanic research and used the progressive left to fuel her efforts at legitimacy. She used CNN for fame she wouldn’t have otherwise obtained, and CNN used her to advance their regressive social agenda of climate conspiracies and anti corporation banter.

Whenever I see Mighty Mike at the Newport Aquarium I am thankful that there is such a place where I can see such a magnificent animal on my way to the bookstore at Newport on the Levy and dining at Claddagh’s. If he wasn’t there, I wouldn’t get a chance to see him and appreciate his magnificence along with the nature that produced him. It’s a good deal, he gets a nice place to reside free of trappers and other predators—even climate fluctuations. People get to see a great exhibit, and human beings are able to advance through intellectual stimulation. Everybody wins, just as they do at Sea World. Life in the wild isn’t so great for the killer whales—mother earth is not kind to her children of the sea. Life is hard and food is difficult to find. You would think CNN and the other progressives would see animal captivity as an appropriate metaphor for their social policies of government dependence and wealth redistribution. They don’t think anything of making millions of people dependent on welfare yet they can clearly see the trouble of making animals addicted to human intervention into the natural patterns of a whale’s life. Yet they argue both ways—with illogical conclusions that point to only one ending, the destruction of the human race in favor of nature regaining control of the future of all evolution—instead of the tools of man formed through observations of Mighty Mike and his prehistoric presence.
