GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Speaker, thank you for doin’ this. Let’s talk first about these– revelations about the National Security Agency. Edward Snowden has come forward, said he brought the documents into the public eye. His supporters say he’s– a whistle-blowing patriot. His critics say he’s betrayed the country, broken the law. Where do you stand?
JOHN BOEHNER: He’s a traitor. The president outlined last week that these were important national security programs to help keep Americans safe, and give us tools– to fight the terrorist threat th– that we face. The president also outlined that there are appropriate safeguards in place– to make sure that– there’s– there’s no– snooping, if you will– on Americans– here at home. But– the disclosure of this information– puts Americans at risk. It shows– our adversaries what our capabilities are. And– it’s a giant violation of the law.
STEPHANOPOULOS: As you point out, the president has said these programs are effective. They’re fully constitutional, fully approved by Congress, and limited. Do you agree with all that?
BOEHNER: I do. I’ve been briefed on all of these programs. Remember, this is all past– and– and broad bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate. And– and when you look at these programs, there are clear safeguards. There’s no American who’s gonna be snooped on in any way– unless they’re in contact– with some terrorists somewhere around the world.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So even though all of these phone records, not phone calls, but all these phone records are being scooped up– you believe that Americans’ privacy is still protected?
BOEHNER: Absolutely. And every time– that I’ve been in a briefing, nine of the ten people in a room are lawyers– there to protect– the privacy of the American people. George, throughout our history we’ve had this– we’ve had this tug– between our principle responsibility as the government to– to keep Americans safe– and at the same time, protect their privacy.
And so there’s this balancing act– that goes on. And I believe– that when you look at this program and what it does– we– you’ll find– that we protect the privacy of the American people– while at the same time, giving us tools– to keep Americans safe and to go after the terrorist.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator John McCain– I think he agrees with you in large measure. But he said that there should be an open hearing so the American public can be reassured about the program. Senator Feinstein, chair of the Intelligence Committee also says she’s open to that. Do you think that’s a good idea?
BOEHNER: Well, I’ll let– the– the chairs of the Intelligence Committees– make that decision. But there is heavy oversight of this program– by the House Intelligence Committee on a bipartisan basis and the Senate Intelligence Committee. And that’s why I feel comfortable– that– that we can operate this program and protect the privacy rights of– of our citizens
The real issue with the NSA, the TSA, the Department of Homeland Security and every other government expansion program that was created in the wake of 9/11 is that the terrorist attack created by Osama Bin Laden against the World Trade Center was allowed because government did not do its job to begin with. It failed to recognize that radical Muslims are dangerous, it failed to teach people that they should over-take an airplane hijacked by terrorists carrying only box cutters, and it allowed the training of those terrorists to learn to fly an airplane when they showed no interest in landing. The FBI and CIA were aware of these terrorists from the start, and no amount of national security gathered by snooping can overcome incompetence, which is what happened during 9/11. It was incompetence that allowed the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and nothing more. Many alarms were raised and nobody acted on them.
The same alarm flags were raised when the participants of the Boston Bombings of 2013 participated in radical Islamic rhetoric which migrated to the level radicalism in killing and maiming hundreds of Americans during the Boston Marathon, yet nobody acted on the information. Without question the NSA, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA all had hundreds if not thousands of emails, phone calls and other surveillance information indicating that the Boston Bombers were a threat to national security. Yet all those agencies because of the presence of political correctness were unable to call evil, evil for the sake of safety and act on their hunches, because they were paralyzed by the Muslim faith’s radical behavior and fearful of being targeted by their aggression. So nobody acted on the information gathered.
Because the government is incompetent they have decided in the wake of 9/11 to over-react and throw endless amounts of government jobs at every possible terrorist threat so that nobody in the public can ever accuse them of not doing everything they can. However, the issue of government failing to do their jobs time and time again to begin with is never brought up, so Boehner is as guilty as Obama for being an incompetent fool who has spent too many years in government and needs a private sector job to calibrate his rationale. Conspiracy theorists who appear more right than wrong will add that all this NSA nonsense has been established for years under the New World Order strategies that were outlined in the Jim Marrs book, Rule by Secrecy. Those same conspiracy theorists will say that the government has always had these plans in mind and simply were waiting for a good excuse to capitalize on the next terrorist attempt for which to launch the full NSA surveillance program that had been long-planned.
In the interview between John Boehner and George Stephanopoulos it is clear that what separates John Boehner the Republican from socialist (Democrat/Progressive) Barack Obama is very little. They both support an over-reaching government that snoops on every aspect of our lives so that they can never be held accountable for not doing everything possible to protect America from evil. That is everything except name evil by its proper name and hold people who are terrorists and breed terror accountable for their actions. For bureaucrats like Boehner and his golf buddy Obama, it is easier to just spy on everyone and hope that it serves as a deterrent for terrorism which the Boston Bombings proved false. Unable to act, or name evil by a proper name, all government can do is infringe on everyone so that nobody dare step out of line—thus keeping their incompetent political class out of the hot-seat, and in office long enough to become rich by looting the American tax payer, while never having to do anything substantial to earn the money.
If you’ve ever had to deal with a government school employee, be it a principal, teacher, or even a simple secretary, you surely know by now that they are typically arrogant, presumptuous, bastions of mundane complacency that act as though they are perpetually doing you a favor by giving you the time of day when forced to speak with them. Occasionally, there is a sincere teacher who is quite good, but the systems they work within handcuff them to an institution that relishes poor performance the way middle management executives relish the Golf Channel. Public school employees are generally horrendous at customer service, because they work for institutions that do not have to compete with anyone else for your business. They know that if a parent owns a home in their school district, then the parent has no choice but to send their child to that particular school or suffer prosecution by law. Public school employees really don’t care if they make their customers happy, or satisfied. They are able to put on a good show for the parent teacher conferences, or other meet and greet events so long as the parent doesn’t attempt to get too involved in their kid’s life at school, but this quickly erodes once the business of teaching migrates beyond formality. Then the real teeth of the wolves show as the not so subtle ownership of the children’s lives becomes clear. Public education employees believe that they are co-parents with the real parents, and they treat those real parents as an incompetent spouse that has eyes on an affair finding fault with everything the real parents do. The education professional believes their teaching methods are superior to that of parents, and they are not shy to make it known. That is why it brings my heart great delight to see that some parents are fighting back. Since they have no choice but to send their child to the public school of their home real estate, and typically cannot afford private instruction for their child, more and more parents are home-schooling their children at a rate that is justifiably alarming.
A little known fact since home schooled children represent only 4% of all school aged children is that home schooling enrollment has increased by 75% since 1999. Homeschooling has become increasingly popular as common myths that have long been associated with the practice have been debunked. Any concerns parents had about the quality of education children receive at home can be put to rest by the consistently high placement of homeschooled students on standardized assessment exams. Data demonstrates that those who are independently educated generally score between the 65th and 89th percentile on these measures, while those in traditional academic settings average at around the 50th percentile. In addition, achievement gaps between sexes, income levels, or ethnicity—all of which have plagued public schools around the country—do not exist in homeschooling environments. If you want to meet a smart child no matter what their background, you will almost 100% of the time notice that a parent is active in their life, and the best students come from homes where the parent does all the instruction, and does not send their child to a concentration camp called public school out of convenience in needing a tax payer funded baby sitter.
Recent studies laud homeschoolers’ academic success, noting their significantly higher ACT-Composite scores as high school aged students and higher grade point averages as college students. Yet surprisingly, the average expenditure for the education of a homeschooled child, per year, is $500 to $600, compared to an average expenditure of $10,000 per child, per year, for public school students. This is because the parent is invested in their child in a way that is biologically compatible. The public school attempts to defy the way human beings naturally learn with an artificial instruction that is rooted in radical labor unions that are too expensive not just monetarily, but mentally. In real dollars it costs ten times more to teach a child in a public school getting mediocre results at best, than the same child taught at home getting superior results.
The high achievement level of homeschoolers is readily recognized by recruiters from some of the best colleges in the nation. Home-educated children matriculate in colleges and attain a four-year degree at much higher rates than their counterparts from both public and private schools. Schools such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, Stanford, and Duke Universities all actively recruit homeschoolers. They do this so they can bring their averages up in academic accountability and artificially show superior education results compensating for all the lack-luster students they are supplied with coming from public schools.
Similarly, the common myth that homeschoolers “miss out” on so-called “socialization opportunities,” often thought to be vital aspects of traditional academic settings, has proven to be false. According to the National Home Education Research Institute survey, homeschoolers tend to be more socially engaged than their peers and demonstrate “healthy social, psychological, and emotional development, and success into adulthood.” A home schooled child is more likely to be the leader of their “pack” than just a blind participant as their egos have not been crushed into mashed potatoes in public school for social assimilation into a collective.
Based on recent data, researchers such as Dr. Brian Ray (NHERI.org) “expect to observe a notable surge in the number of children being homeschooled in the next 5 to 10 years. The rise would be in terms of both absolute numbers and percentage of the K to 12 student population. This increase would be in part because…[1] a large number of those individuals who were being home educated in the 1990’s may begin to homeschool their own school-age children and [2] the continued successes of home-educated students.”
I have said it more than once, if a parent sends their child to public school, they must not care much for the child. Public schools are government schools, and they are not healthy places to raise children. Parents should never completely surrender their children to a public school and the employees who work in them, as the customer service is terrible, and the social implication is quite destructive. Based on the results, all parents should make it their number one objective in raising their children to instruct those children at home under their care, and to forego the public education entirely.
When parents look at their 16-year-old child and wonder what happened to the sweet little youngster they gave birth to, most of the fault can be placed at the feet of the public school which has sought to reshape children’s minds into some Frankenstein social experiment designed to make good citizens as unlike their parents as possible as viewed by the government. The rest of the fault rests on the parent who was too lazy, self-centered, or too stupid to instruct their own children, denying them an opportunity to be the best human beings they could possibly be. Years ago when I was deep in fighting Lakota schools which is in my local district I was told by the arrogant teachers and PTA Kool-Aid drinkers that if I thought teaching was so easy then I’d come and teach their classes. Well, on national radio, in the newspapers, and on television, even to members of the school faculty, I said I’d be happy to teach not just one class, but four at the same time. When I gave an interview to the Lakota East Spark Magazine, I told the young lady who interviewed me that I would be happy to teach all their classes at the school if anyone wanted to take me up on it. Ironically, that article never made it to print.
There are times when I truly do wish that I could home school everyone’s children, and teach them real knowledge, not the crap they get in public school. The public school employees and their followers thought they stumped me when they challenged me to teach their classes. They thought I would decline out of fear that I couldn’t match their “massive” intellects. Please…………….they think this way because they have no competition and do not know, or care to know that most people functioning in the world successfully know a whole lot more than they do. And thankfully for 4% of all school aged children, they have parents who understand that they are better qualified to instruct their own children than some arrogant government employee who is trying to use children to cash in on a cushy job. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you love your children, you’ll take them out of public schools, and teach them yourself. If you want to raise a social malcontent, a diabolical menace to society, a pot smoking, future alcoholic, a liar, a cheater, and unstable social bully, then send them to be instructed in public schools where those are the skills of the instructors. If you want a smart young adult who is kind, thoughtful and reliable to their future spouse and the children that come from that union……………..then teach them yourself!
Dear reader, I hate to say I told you so, but…………………..I told you so. I stated many, many months ago that the government was watching everything you were doing, and that America was headed down a direction of the dystopian novel, Brave New World, and 1984. CLICK TO REVIEW. Now it is obvious to all that the government led by the NSA and many other organizations have been looking at phone records, email accounts, video conferencing between businesses and virtually every aspect of life of all Americans under The Patriot Act for the thinly disguised notion of bringing safety to the nation. But like the IRS, the Justice Department, and virtually every government agency including the local teacher at your children’s school they are filled with incompetent employees operating with faulty minds. The NSA is spying on the nude pictures of our children that are recklessly sent to their budding relationships, not for the protection of the nation, but for their own pleasure. The NSA enjoys knowing the social connections of every adult of the American population because such knowledge is power and can be used against targets at their discretion. Read all about the PRISM data collection scandal at the following link:
Maybe now skeptics won’t question what has been reported about Common Core education, Obamacare, Agenda 21, Muslim penetration of our government, global consensus effort to collapse the American dollar, communist influence of labor unions, a socialist take-over of American government, and many other controversial topics that have been regulated to conspiracy theory. “They” are watching and “they” have their fingers in virtually every aspect of your life dear reader, and you let them do it.
“I layered in these New Founding Fathers, this regime that we voted into power at some point, some kind of NRA-thing that took over the country…But I kind of left that to the audience. I think sometimes in my writing I try to spoon feed too much, it’s better to let the audience make their own decisions on things.”
The Purge sucks by the way, it’s a horrible film which hopes that millions of dim-witted teenagers will grow up and vote for more government into their lives so that they won’t have to suffer through the grim reality of The Purge. It is unbelievable that this title actually got a summer release! It belongs in the first week of February, or around the third week of October, a terrible decision that only demonstrates to what effect Hollywood is willing to sacrifice for the gods of statism. What is most disconcerting is that such a terrible film could be made, and that statist government has penetrated the blank philosophies of America’s story tellers to such a reckless extent. Filmmakers like DeMonaco have learned to shape their personal beliefs around those of statism because they lack personal philosophic principles. They have weak epistemologies that are shaped by where the money for their projects comes from. That money is influenced by programs like project PRISM who linger behind all of our lives threatening to reveal our secrets if extortion proves faulty. In this way statism has taken control of many industries under the guise of personal liberty. But the choices are really between suffering and living, and such choices are not those of free people, but of existing slaves, of which filmmakers like DeMonaco are a part.
You have been told dear reader how the world works, and now you are beginning to have proof that these things I have stated are not conspiracy. So what are you going to do about it? Will you continue to be an empty vessel of a mind seeking to defer your thoughts to the popularity which has been shaped by your friendly neighborhood statist government who has the reach to enter entertainment with an obvious film attempting to incite fear toward Tea Party causes? Or will you fill your head with your own thoughts and fight for the right to have them against a statist regime that uses safety and security as excuses to look at your sexual habits, and personal interests for the sheer aim of gaining a tactical advantage over your very soul?
Is the decision so difficult? Is it so scary? Or are you just too lazy to care? If so, take another drink, get “shit faced” at the local sports bar, and enjoy the fact that some pin headed geek at the NSA has nude pictures of your children and spouses pinned to their cubical, and they are enjoying their anonymity from your wrath.
Your only choice is whether you define your philosophy by a conscious, rational, disciplined process of thought and scrupulously logical deliberation—or let your subconscious accumulate a junk heap of unwarranted conclusions, false generalizations, undefined contradictions, undigested slogans, unidentified wishes, doubts and fears, thrown together by chance, but integrated by your subconscious into a kind of mongrel philosophy and fused into a single, solid weight: self-doubt, like a ball and chain in the place where your mind’s wings should have grown.
Ayn Rand — Speech to the United States Military Academy at West Point on March 6th 1974.
That was the first thought I had upon closing the book to Gavin Menzies masterpiece, 1421: The Year China Discovered the World or more specifically, discovered America. I had put the Menzies book on my “to read” list a long time ago, and recently found a window to give it the kind of attention I wanted. The birth of the desire to read Menzies book was sent my way when a strategy game my family enjoyed playing released a very rare constructible 10-Masted Jade Rebellion Treasure Ship called the Baochuan with Admiral Zheng He as the crew. The game was called Pirates: The Constructible Strategy Game. The objective was to buy cards at a local Wal-Mart or Target in the gaming section, take them home and build the ships that were in the packs of cards, then use those ships to wage war on other gamers by turning every kitchen table available into a roaring sea of treasure hunting, naval warfare, and epic drama, CLICK HERE TO REVIEW. My wife presented me with the valuable ship as a father’s day present in 2006 and to this day it is one of my most treasured possessions, as it can be seen from the picture below. The gift was more than a miniature card cut-out that gave me a dramatically tactical advantage in that game, but it was the first exposure I had ever had to the gigantic treasure fleets of Zheng He constructed by 3rd Emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di. The gigantic ships were over 400 feet long, half the size of the Titanic and were able to cross the oceans with sustainable living conditions which were absolutely unheard of with any sea fairing fleet anywhere in the world at that time. The treasure ship my wife gave me as a simple game piece placed upon my mind countless answers to questions I had been trying to piece together my entire life, so the gift was magnificent not for the material value, but for the adventure it carried my mind on as the wings of my imagination grew even larger than they had been previously.
The Wiz Kids gaming company had read Menzies book, and incorporated his theories into the overall mythology of the popular role-playing pirate game, which went to great lengths to unify sea fairing folklore with actual history. It took me some time to accept the reality of the giant Chinese ships because they made the European counterparts of the Portuguese and Spanish fleets look like child’s toys in comparison. So I did not run out and buy the Menzies book right away as I had a lot on my plate at the time professionally and such a concept of Chinese superiority that Menzies was making, would have long-range ramifications on world history, which would require special time to explore the concept. So for over six years now, I have looked at my model of the Boachuan and wondered about the giant Chinese junks which explored the entire world while all of Europe and the occupants of the Mediterranean Sea were paddling around comparatively in canoes. Finally, after many years, I had a window to read the Menzies book, and I took it.
The results were astonishing. One of the apprehensions I had about Menzies was that most of his statements in the book were based on educated conjecture formulated by his unique life. Once I started reading, the conjecture with which Menzies assembled his theories was no different from the failures of scholarship revealed so wonderfully in the great book Forbidden Archeology or the Leakey theories of mankind’s origin in Africa. Menzies as a retired British submarine lieutenant commander and author had already traveled every corner of the world prior to his multi-year research which went into 1421: The Year China Discovered the World but he did it again as a researcher plotting with great accuracy detailed analysis of the navigation maps which were generated well before Columbus ever set sail from Spain. Reading 1421 was like taking a trip around the world. I feel I know the currents and wind directions of the world’s distant oceans and understand how to navigate ships by the star Polaris. In the book, Menzies takes the reader on a journey at approximately 4 to 6 knots across the entire globe, from China to India, then to the coasts of Africa. The fleet of Zheng He which numbered in the hundreds, if not thousands divided up their efforts and traveled in many different directions from there. Some returned to China, some rounded Africa and moved up into the Atlantic splitting up once again near the Caribbean Sea. Some of the Chinese went on to North America, some went to South America. The fleet in South America split up once again to explore Antarctica traveling back to the East toward Australia. The remainder traveled around the tip of South America then proceeded to Australia to split up once again, some heading back out into the Pacific and circling around by Canada and the west coast of North America interacting with land and indigenous people the entire distance. Back to the journey of the east coast of North America, I learned of the Menzies theory off North Bimini Island which has long-held that the strange remains there are left over from Atlantis. Menzies using the same conjecture that he constructed the entire book with logic, evidence, and a vast knowledge of how life at sea works, provided the best explanation I have ever heard of those strange remains which I contemplate heavily every time I visit Florida and look off to the east across the choppy ocean at the ruins that are a day’s boat ride from our family condo.
Without question, Christopher Columbus did NOT discover America. Rather, he and his brother ripped off maps from the Portuguese government who had acquired charts of the world during trade with the Chinese in Calicut which were made during the Zheng He voyages. The Chinese at the time under Emperor Zhu Di wished to show their world domination of the arts, which at the time had no rival. After the Occident lost its power and influence during the terrible loss of the Library in Alexandria, which I have written about also, then lost Rome to the barbarians soon after, Europe and most of the northern Africa was plunged into the Dark Ages. If not for the Muslims, the works of Greek philosophers might never have seen the light of day again. China did not experience such an intellectual set-back, and instead progressed on only experiencing an invasion by the Mongolians that did not have the same effect as the European Dark Ages. The culture of China was not destroyed in the same way and once the Mongolians were defeated in rebellion, the Ming Dynasty took over and re-instated themselves as the dominate culture in the world. Emperor Zhu Di rebuilt the Great Wall of China, and constructed the Forbidden City. With the same zeal he built the largest fleet of ships ever constructed and the largest ever built prior to that time with only one exception, the tessarakonteres of Greek legend in the second century A.D. In doing so the Emperor nearly bankrupted China of its resources leaving his successors to erase the far-reaching scope of the heart-broken Emperor who lost his favorite concubine in a fire started during a lightning strike igniting the Forbidden City in flame. Upon the Emperor’s death, the records of the great treasure fleets of Zheng He were purged so that the taint of foreign cultures could not rot China as it had during Zhu Di’s reign. The mandarin overseers destroyed all evidence except for a few personal diaries of the mammoth voyages to put the walls up against the world which had shown itself to be backward, and lost to ignorance. This was a period where China would experience to a much less degree the loss of culture that the Occident experienced after the destruction of the Library at Alexandria. This was the great purge of the Orient.
Under Zhu Di, he had wished to show the world how powerful China was by trading with every country his fleets could reach using a tribute system to keep every nation on earth in debt to the glory of China. The Chinese would routinely give fine porcelain to villages along the African coastline and get in return jewelry of sea shells, which were worthless in comparison. But the Chinese didn’t care, because the debt between the values kept the African countries in perpetual obligation to the Emperor. It was this policy that the mandarins later would resent, and cause future Emperors to not duplicate the errors of Zhu Di by draining China of its wealth just to prove its superiority to the barbarian nations of the world who couldn’t even figure out how to use gunpowder.
The key to these wondrous voyages were the massive ships, the extremely large treasure ships half the size of the Titanic. But with those gigantic vessels were hundreds of support ships, most of which would still dwarf any European ship in the early 1400s. Most of the support junks were anywhere from 100 to 300 feet in length. For comparison, the Victoria, which Magellan used to circumnavigate the world was only 70 feet long. The treasure ships provided fresh water in gigantic tanks which actually housed sea lions which were used to herd fish into their nets at sea. The treasure ships held horses which consumed roughly 3 gallons of water each every day along with other animals from all over the world. The Chinese had the ability to desalinate their water while in transit keeping fresh water in plentiful supply. On the decks of the big ships were vast gardens so that fresh vegetables could be constantly grown to provide a balanced diet while months at sea between landfalls. If hostile nations attempted to attack the ships, the treasure fleets easily eradicated their opponents as these ships were the first to have cannons. A confrontation with the treasure fleet would spell doom to anyone who tried to stand in their way. With such ships 50 to 60 foot waves were much more manageable than the typical European vessel that would find themselves tossed about like toys. The key to accepting the voyages of Zheng He who clearly mapped the world while Europe was still in the Dark Ages is in understanding that the Chinese had the ability to build such large ships, which have been denied as an impossibility by traditional scholars. Yet the evidence is apparent, and even though the ships have long decayed, historians who have built vast careers on the myth that Christopher Columbus discovered America, or are willing to grudgingly concede that the Vikings entered North America as a bunch of barbarian hoards raping and pillaging wherever they went, the idea that the Chinese were trading goods and services all over the world well before the Europeans learned to put a sail to the wind on the open sea is not a pleasant one.
The reason I thought of the Ayn Rand quote stated at the beginning of this article after reading 1421 is because the evidence that Menzies provided convinced me beyond a shred of doubt that the Chinese were far superior to Europe during the same time, and had in fact most likely settled North America not just through migration across the Bering Strait tens of thousands of years ago, but were trading with the Mayans, and forming tribes in America that would later be called “Native Americans” such as the Shawnee, the Navajo, and the ancient Cahokians. Modern academia found the Menzies information “inconvenient” and an attack on their world view, so they have rejected him. Of Menzies 2002 release of 1421 historian Robert Finlay said in 2004 that “Unfortunately, this reckless manner of dealing with evidence is typical of 1421, vitiating all its extraordinary claims: the voyages it describes never took place, Chinese information never reached Prince Henry and Columbus, and there is no evidence of the Ming fleets in newly discovered lands.” The comments of Robert Finlay and many other academics that attacked Menzies for his extremely educated conjecture epitomize the quote stated at the start from Ayn Rand illuminating their fragmented minds built upon years of academic denials unable to accept that their own conjectures were incomplete upon their utterances and the new evidence provided by further research destroyed their previous theories. Columbus did not discover America!
Menzies to my mind has accomplished a level of expertise that many of the academic critics of his work are desperately lacking. Gavin Menzies as a British submarine lieutenant commander had a unique perspective shaped by years at sea. Then in his retirement under the finance of his wife, he spent years and years skipping around the globe gathering up evidence, reading maps and charts in a way that only an old submarine commander could, and touched the far corners of the world by following in the footsteps of Zheng He the way a blood hound catches the scent of a target they cannot see or touch but can smell. Academics and political progressives who wish to cover their faulty minds, their junk heap of unwarranted conclusions, false generalizations, undefined contradictions, undigested slogans, unidentified wishes, doubts and fears, thrown together by chance, have no choice but to slander the great work of Menzies from the comfort of their academic offices where the chill of the outside air gives them goose bumps. They are all too willing to abandon logic for belief, and they wish to continue believing that Christopher Columbus discovered America. To admit anything less is to change the way they see European history, and they might have to go to all the trouble of removing Columbus Day from their calendars which usually means a day off for government workers in the United States. Nobody wants to give up a free holiday, so it is much easier to attack Gavin Menzies for a theory that will change the way human history sees itself.
For me the journey started with the little model junk that my wife gave me for Father’s Day, which provided me a new idea taking me to Menzies book six years later. I have seen countless examples of modern academia standing in the way of science and the Menzies case is no different. Academic arguments are not built upon logic, reason, or even a strict adherence to scientific validation. Menzies has provided in his books the exact locations of several ship wrecks that are most likely the junks from Zheng He’s fleet, yet governments operate the waters of these wrecks, and governments work with academics to hold together the acceptable parameters of human thought. There is no desire to dive those wrecks by established science and governments to prove Menzies correct even though the evidence is right under the water and is known to all. Rather, governments and academics would rather drag their feet so to maintain plausible deniability of any truth that is contrary to their continued belief that it was the Europeans who settled North America not ships from half a world away. Menzies developed a rare ability in all his years traveling the world’s oceans and putting into exotic ports even in the most remote portions of the globe–he developed wings for his mind where imagination meets reason to logically conjecture the evidence which has been destroyed to hide truths from a public who are to look to academics and politicians with the grace of royalty. Those wings which the average academic lacks, takes Menzies to places where most historians can’t even dream to go, and upon reading 1421: The Year China Discovered the World the reader of that fine book has no choice but to grow wings of their own and follow on a journey that is epic in scope, and history altering in its implication. It is a book of writing that is the best of the best in every category for which the written word was ever intended to paint a picture with imagination that will change the way those with wings upon their own minds see the world forever. It is an epically brilliant book that is now one of my all-time favorites.
Now, please do watch the above documentaries so that the picture of this book’s importance can be placed in perspective. Then read the book! Out of ten stars, I give 1421: The Year China Discovered the World a perfect TWENTY!
You can get the book from Gavin’s website and follow all the latest discoveries which he continues to unravel each and every day.
Reflecting on the administration’s recently-discovered massive domestic surveillance programs, Rush Limbaugh argued on his radio show that there is a “coup” taking place to subvert the kind of country the United States has always been. Listen for yourself.
Welcome to the party Rush. Many have been right where you are now for a long time. But there is room on the bench for new faces who are just now coming to understand how sinister the Obama administration truly has been all along. Pass along to a friend.
The modern rebellion of the Tea Party against large statist governments was never more illuminated than in the below collection of clips from those liberty groups who testified before congress of their harassment by the IRS. Doc Thompson and his producer Skip LaCombe assembled the clip and played it during their show on Wednesday, June 5th culminating in a full week of aggressive coverage by the Blaze Radio Network regarding the tyranny of the government represented by the IRS in harassing genuinely good people. Unlike other places in the world, this modern rebellion in America is not being conducted by despots for control over the world’s resources—as might normally be the case—but by indisputably good people who are reclaiming their independence as sovereign citizens of The United States. It seems ironic that the rebels of our modern age are family people, church goers, and otherwise responsible citizens as opposed to the villainy of the modern progressive. The clip below captured the spirit of the week centering around IRS testimony in a way that was heard no place else but The Blaze.
The testimony was powerful stuff and gives the world a look into the way average Tea Party supporters think. With all the radical assertions which have been tossed toward the Tea Party with derogatory dialogue—particularly in calling them by the sexual reference as “Tea Baggers” which Obama himself has used on multiple occasions, the voices who gave testimony represent well the multitudes of people I have associated with in Southern Ohio who have lent their time and talent to American liberty. Those who support statist government have made themselves treacherously obvious to their cause because the contrast to the good people of the Tea Party movement is obvious. The only way Tea Party opponents have been able to maintain their moral high ground is to keep the Tea Party out of the news, and now because of the IRS debacle, the world can see what the rebellion in America is really about. The heart of the matter is good against evil, with the good represented by the Tea Party and evil represented by the ever-growing statist government.
The government is evil because “it” insists on imposing itself upon individual will. “It” requires blind submission of all individuals to the adherence of the political elite, and this is just not what America is about, and never has been. Many will point to the debacles which followed the Civil War and more specifically to the progressive events of 1913 where America turned basically into a large federal bank with the creation of the Federal Reserve, and implemented an income tax. Most people have forgotten that it was the work of Karl Marx and associates who advanced their views of communism through the Progressive Party represented so well by Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson allowing the philosophy of Marx into the American system of self-government. Since that time, the gradual erosion of liberty has steadily progressed through the entire 20th Century. The way America is today, and has been for several decades is not the way it was intended. The progressive political machine had cast its large sails to capture the global winds of communism and reshape politics in America in a way that is not sustainable or acceptable from even before Roosevelt was president.
When people have asked me what the goal of the Tea Party is, and more specifically, if I want to return America back to the period of the Old West, as I respect immensely traditional American arts, such as gun slinging, bull whip work, and knife throwing, I respond that it is not the period of the Old West that is the goal, it is the period well before that. For myself, I appreciate the values of the traditional Anti-Federalists of which Thomas Jefferson was one of the founding members. I more specifically appreciate the values of the American transcendentalists–people like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Even though many of their philosophical conclusions were still rooted in mysticism, the path they were on was the correct one for the “American Way.” These ideas were being worked out twenty to thirty years before Karl Marx and his despots of ignorance did their work through American newspapers advocating the philosophy of communism as a superior mode of political thinking over capitalism. Through newspaper journalists and editors, particularly Walter Lippmann who hung out constantly at the Long Island home of Roosevelt after the start of the Progressive Party, they changed the name of communism to progressivism, in order to make the concept more palatable to Americans who loved their freedom, and wanted nothing to do with statist governments. The ploy for the progressives was hatched by the Fabian Socialists of England of which playwright George Bernard Shaw was a respected member along with H.G. Wells. Their theory was that socialism; (soft communism) could be implemented not radically the way it was done in the Soviet Union during 1917, but slowly, over a long period of time. This was the best way to by-pass the American Constitution and deliver The United States back into the fold of European control. After all, as the Fabian Socialists reasoned, if global socialism/communism was the goal, America would have to go down and join in; otherwise it would always be an option for freedom lovers who refused the socialist collectivist aims of statism. For the English, they had tried one hundred years prior during the War of 1812 to retake America as an English colony, but that effort was not successful, so a more indirect—much more patient ploy needed to be implemented—this is how America ended up with progressive politics.
Many in America today have just accepted these little bits of statism provided by gradual socialism inspired by Karl Marx and the failures of collectivist thinking. Over a long period of time, as the Fabian Socialists schemed, Americans gave away bits of their freedom in exchange for “Social Security.” For the progressive who views their century of social gains the Tea Party is a tremendous threat to them, because those kind, innocent Americans of that patriotic group have dedicated themselves to learning how America was supposed to function all along, and know they have been scammed, and they want to undo the progressive advancements and return to the original principles of the Constitution. In that regard, my personal position is that I would argue with Alexander Hamilton who in 1780 was considered a major statist from the Federalist Party with the kind of Anti-Federalist arguments reflected by Thomas Jefferson. The modern Tea Party wants to return to the Constitution that was shaped by Hamilton in the Federalist Papers, which I consider “TOO EXTREME.” Compared to the modern Fabian Socialist, the progressives, the global communists, Alexander Hamilton’s views of government seem radical so the two sides are not reconcilable. Socialists and capitalists cannot live together. One wants to be left alone, the other needs collective participation to survive, so the two are not compatible.
The Tea Party rebellion as it is, are simply nice people who are waking up to the fact that the world they thought they were living is not what they were sold. They are discovering that progressives for their entire lives have gradually ruined the American idea for not only them, but their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and they are not happy about it. They are the sleeping giant of world society that are waking up, and they aren’t going to complacently go along with the scam any longer. This posses a major problem for progressives who have built an entire education system around statist principles, a government fueled by coercion for the benefit of the political class, and a hopeless tomorrow trying to return America back to the fold of European foolishness. The American of tradition—of ideology, have no intention of being serfs, even if they have served such a role unknowingly for many years. Through the Tea Party, they are learning what their rights should always have been, and they are learning more about the laws which founded the country than many of the current politicians holding office know presently.
One of the ways that slave holders in the American South kept free men and women obligated to serfdom were by keeping those poor souls ignorant. For slaves, an act of rebellion was to sneak away from their master’s gaze deep in the heart of night and to do the diabolical act of “reading” so to educate their minds so that they might come to know better than to live under the tyranny of a “master” of any kind. And so it is in our modern age, but the activity is not so secret. Tea Party patriots are getting together as education organizations to read, and intelligently petition a government the way all free people should be able to, and the statist regimes whether they come from big banking corporations, or Fabian Socialists require an ignorant population in order to sell their utopia of hopelessness to the world population. Statist masters cannot stand for the “slaves” to become educated, so they have done all that they could do to stop the process, and harass those who attempt such a rebellious act, such as reading the truth for themselves.
The biggest difference between the rebellion of 2013 and that of 1773 is that the rights were already won once with blood and bullets. Now there are freedom fighters like Doc and Skip on The Blaze Radio Network who are truly doing news reporting that is light years from anything ever done in America. For the first time in American history there are free people who are learning what their rights are because they are “reading” for themselves, and they are listing to Doc Thompson who drives home the point free of FCC regulation spouting out a truth that is equivalent to the escapades of Fredrick Douglass during the most noted revolution against slavery to ever occur in the world. Only in America would such a thing as the Civil War occur over the rights of man, even of another skin color and varied religions. But now that fight has extended to all men and women of all colors and religions who share in common a distinct desire to be exempt from the faulty morality of the diabolical progressive and their statist plans of doom. To arrive at that point, those freedom fighters are reading and learning what they have been missing with a revolution that is taking place not with bullets and bayonets, but books and bold speeches like the ones given against the IRS on Capital Hill captured so well in the summation by Doc Thompson and his crafty producer Skip.
I have always stood ready to defend my freedom from the statist controllers. But joining me now are the moms, wives, and patriots who want a good life for their children and have the courage to go against the progressive plans to achieve it. Instead of tuning in to the local music broadcasts on radio stations, or listening to sports oriented talk radio, they are discovering The Blaze Radio Network who is at the front of the freedom movement and the fuel behind the next steps toward freedom. Glenn Beck has reinvested vast sums of his personal wealth into this endeavor and just this past week hired Laurie Dhue from Fox News to deliver news on their Blaze Television which is now seen on The Dish Network. It is only a matter of time before Glenn Beck’s network, which is dedicated to education, is directly competing with ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX. When that direct competition occurs, those other stations will discover that they cannot abate, or rationalize the rebellion of the mind which is happening beyond their control.
Americans are reclaiming their lives, and the potent moment which is the modern-day shot heard around the world are the clips from the IRS testimony given by the Tea Party patriots. In that testimony the previously obscured normal people who have been buried under progressive altruism have been given a voice, and they made full use of it. Their words are more powerful than bullets as the intended slave masters who wish to rule the world through various statist schemes require ignorance, in the same manner that southern plantation owners kept slaves unable to read, and always lacking of substance. Ignorance is required to advance statism no matter what the political method of attack, be it socialism, modern-day progressivism, or forceful communism. Before such methods can be employed, one must turn off their mind, and empty everything that it once held. This is why progressives want control of the education process and want children in their institutions of tyranny from the time of their first conscious thoughts. But the momentum has already shifted, and the Tea Party is doing things that nobody previously expected. The Tea Party is “reading” and learning the way the world is supposed to be, and they are acting on their own behalf to free themselves and others from suffering the same fate. It is too late to stop such a thing. Ignorance has been discarded in favor of intelligence, starting with a few Tea Party types who are now small in number, but growing through an evolving rebellion that is not centered on violence, but knowledge.
Thus, now all know why I write so much here upon these pages. I know that most readers browse these articles and quit reading after the first two sentences, and that I would be even more popular if I catered to traditional notions of journalism, by keeping the articles under 400 words and within the average person’s attention span. But a few read the entire 1500 to 2000 word works in their entirety and out of the 500 to 1000 who read every day, about 30 to 40 read every word, sometimes twice, and they come back day after day. Of those, I know several who read every day looking to these words as a lighthouse guiding their way through a thick ocean fog of modern life. Some of those people are very important and influential in modern politics, so the words are not wasted. My goal is to get people thinking so that their minds are prepared to ask questions, and to “seek” ending their chains to statism with thought leading to action. The act of rebellion is not a ruckus act of villainy, or violent attempt at suppression, but the diabolical notion of filling the mind with intelligence, which is the greatest weapon against the tyrant ever devised.
Over a long period of time, the American presidency has degraded itself to the frequent diatribes of “spinning” the truth. The most widely accepted blatant history of this behavior can be seen in the actions of the Bush administration justifying the war with Iraq by declaring there were weapons of mass destruction present to justify the attack, when there really wasn’t at the time. Another would be the sexual liaisons of Bill Clinton when he unquestionably lied about his affairs even when he was pinned down and caught red-handed by the entire American public. Over the last thirty years, American presidents have become extremely proficient at misleading the public away from the crimes they are caught in. During this time, Presidents have learned that they can actually commit crime trusting that if their spin machine was good enough, they could get by with anything as the American public tends to look upon them as royalty who are above the law. This way of thinking is wrong of course, and a disgrace to the American system of republic government. The climax of this failure is occurring presently during the Obama presidency who has taken lies and manipulation to an entirely new level never attempted by previous presidents. Watch the following clips to review how many lies President Obama has been caught in, and to what treacherous degree they have been executed.
The evidence after 5 years of Barack Obama indicate that all the fears many have about the current president are true, that he is hostile to The United States, is a socialist, is likely a closet Islamic radical, and was not raised in America. He attended college under a foreign student status and has worked very hard to conceal his school records. Obama has a lot of red flags in his life that should have been seen right at the beginning, and was by many. He is not a Trojan Horse who is attempting to sneak in enemy ideas behind the lines, because he is doing everything right out in the open. There has been no attempt to hide who he is—he has been extremely open about it all. Rather, the strategy of the Obama administration has been to attack those who disagree with who he is with thug like pressure. The lies of the Obama administration therefore has not been in hiding who or what they are, but in lying about their desire to use pressure to force Americans into their way of thinking. Under that strategy, the Obama administration will go down in history as the most corrupt of all presidential administrations as they have lied about their desire to use force to impose progressive beliefs on the masses undermining The United States Constitution.
Reflecting back on the things I’ve said over the last three years at this site, and out of all the radio work I did with Doc Thompson in the early days of the Obama debacle, I am proud to report that my comments even if they seemed extreme at the time, were right on the mark. The lies have mounted up to a level now where Obama’s spin machine cannot contain the stories any longer. It’s not just his fault; this is an avalanche that has built over three decades, and the mounting pressure created by presidential manipulation for years. Obama’s administration with all its arrogance assumed that the lies could forever be mounted one upon another perpetually, and they were wrong. They are crashing down now, and I am extremely proud to have called the collapse from the very beginning.
The social trend created by government schools to lean society in a progressive direction has been to remove recognition between right and wrong from society which has left voters unable to determine success and failure from truth and lies. Obama’s administration has sought to exploit this progressive creation to their own advantage to fulfill their radical social agenda. The fault is on those who sought to strip away logic and reason in society replacing them with irrationality, and emotional justification. This is how the great lies of Obama’s administration have been perpetrated upon so many people in full light of the day. I am proud to be one of the few who did not fall victim to the grand seduction of progressive terrorism which is the Obama administration.
The evidence is massive, and by watching the clips on this article, the mode of operation is quite clear. It is ironic in review that the president said the exact same things when he was confronted over the Fast and Furious gun running scandal that he said about the IRS scandal where his White House has been caught using that branch of government to harass his political enemies. Obama declared with Fast and Furious that he first learned about the scandal like everyone else—on news reports. He then said exactly the same thing about the IRS scandal which is a bold-faced lie as The White House worked with the IRS to put a cap on the story for over a month before Lois Lerner planted the question in a public speech designed to slowly ease the story into the public to minimize the damage to public perception for all involved. Now the lies have mounted up and even the most devious spin doctors available cannot remember who said what and when they said it, and contrary statements are being revealed quicker than they can be contained. This is what happens when an avalanche of lies comes crashing down. It doesn’t matter at this point how clever the spin doctors are, or how much they are willing to lie about, because the structure of the manipulation has fallen apart.
There was some criticism when Rep. Darrell Issa’s congressional investigations of the IRS lead him to call Jay Carney who is The White House spokesperson a “paid liar.” For Issa to make such a statement there was outrage in his statement that has its origin with learning like the rest of America that we have all been scammed. Issa has heard the evidence so far and sees where it is going, and he knows that to release premature information to such bandits and thieves at The White House could damage his case. But he knows what I have been saying all along, and Glenn Beck has done show after show after show on—Barack Obama’s administration is one of the most corrupt in all of American history and is a disgrace to our republic. For Issa to say such a thing, the evidence is clear, and he is naturally upset about it, as every American should be.
My favorite Shakespeare play is Titus Andronicus and Obama reminds me verbatim of the character from that story of Aaron the Moor. At the end of the play before Aaron the Moor is executed for gross manipulation and treachery at virtually every level of the empire, Aaron proudly proclaims his evil with the following words:
Lucius says to Aaron.
“Art thou not sorry for these heinous deeds?”
Aaron responds.
“Ay, that I had not done a thousand more. Even now I curse the day—and yet, I think, Few come within the compass of my curse,— Wherein I did not some notorious ill, As kill a man, or else devise his death, Ravish a maid, or plot the way to do it, Accuse some innocent and forswear myself, Set deadly enmity between two friends, Make poor men’s cattle break their necks; Set fire on barns and hay-stacks in the night, And bid the owners quench them with their tears. Oft have I digg’d up dead men from their graves, And set them upright at their dear friends’ doors, Even when their sorrows almost were forgot; And on their skins, as on the bark of trees, Have with my knife carved in Roman letters, ‘Let not your sorrow die, though I am dead.’ Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things As willingly as one would kill a fly, And nothing grieves me heartily indeed But that I cannot do ten thousand more.”
Being an academic, Barack Obama as a young foreign college student who hated America and wanted to spread Muslim influence into the back door of a Christian nation, but lacked a strong father figure made his plans to enter political life in some capacity. The strong men in his life were socialists and communists who looked to the type of characters that Aaron the Moor was to inflict evil upon The United States. Being a fatherless despot little Barry Obama identified not with the heroes of Shakespeare’s plays, but the villains. As all intellectuals of modern academia can relate, it is the soothsaying evil of characters like Aaron the Moor which communicates most strongly to their otherwise impotent lives. Just as the public stood at the end of the Titus Andronicus play not able to comprehend the evil Aaron the Moor demonstrated throughout the tragic circumstances of the story which destroyed many lives maliciously, spectators represented by Lucius failed to comprehend the vast treachery of Aaron the Moor even as the vile manipulator uttered the words boldly, and without remorse. The modern academic knows that few people in America read, so they are unable to see the evil that people like Obama perpetrate for the same reasons as Aaron the Moor committed, for the sheer pleasure of it. Little Barry Obama was no different from the millions of modern children who love movie villains like Darth Vader because they are strong characters. They do not care that they are evil because the villains are strong. Academics understand Aaron the Moor more than they understand Titus and build their lives around the former as opposed to the later.
Liars like Obama’s administration where they have shown a tendency to lie about lying just for the sake of lying are no different from Aaron the Moor. They wish to commit evil for the sake of evil because they enjoy it. For the evil doer, goodness is the villain, and they seek to destroy all goodness so that villainy can propagate. This is contrary to how most people see the world so they are unable to identify evil in the same way that Aaron the Moor was able to commit vast acts of evil against mankind—because good people have a hard time seeing evil.
But I don’t. I have read and loved Shakespeare for the beauty of his written language. I love the passion for which he writes. And out of all of Shakespeare’s villains Aaron the Moor is my favorite. I love to hate that particular character, so it didn’t take much for me to realize that in the current White House from a very early time was a character very similar to Aaron the Moor and he was President of The United States, and he loved evil with every fiber of his soul. That love of evil is revealed in the multiple lies that the President’s administration has committed and is now caught. Obama and his minions of deceit will continue to lie until they are eventually painted into a corner with nowhere else to turn—because that’s what they do. Which is why severe justice is due to them in a way that is so aggressive, that all future presidents will think twice about lying again to the voters who put them in office. At that point, I would expect from Barack Obama a speech every bit as colorful as Aaron the Moor and for all the same reasons.
Below is the first of several public service announcements MB Studio Productions is producing to demonstrate who gun laws really affect and why they don’t work. The video is well made, and accurate. It creates a scenario where two scum bags decide to raid a random home because it looked like a viable target. The home owner detects the threat, and opens fire once the first assailant enters the home. I have been on both sides of that type of scenario and can confirm that it is very close to the re-creation. Every pin-headed politician who does not understand why a home owner needs a gun with multiple round clips, or firearms that are military designations in their performance, they are naively foolish in not understanding the kind of evil that pushes the behavior of criminal activity. I know evil very well and the scene produced by MB Studio reminds me of several friends I’ve had in the past who fear nothing, have no care for the lives they wreck and a completely absent sense of right and wrong. It is from those kinds of people who the Second Amendment is designed to protect our property from the forced confiscation of wealth and dignity.
Progressives in their war against goodness have decided that a fully government managed society is the only one they desire. They do not care if individual lives are wrecked by criminal behavior because they regard the individual as a necessary sacrifice for the greater good of society. They see such home invasion robberies shown in the dramatization as “collateral damage” to their progressive cause. Progressives do not like private property, so they certainly don’t support a Second Amendment to protect it. Rather, they support the type of managed society that calls the police and the meat wagons to clean up the dead bodies. Progressives only care when they find themselves the victims of crime, but calculate the odds of such a thing happening are as frequent as being struck by lightning. So they are happy to “sacrifice” the Second Amendment for their version of the “greater good”.
It is because of the vile, statist progressive that home invasion laws favor the criminal to begin with. In the case of the video shown, the home owner fired first, which would have caused him trouble in court later as aggressive county prosecutors looking to make names for themselves justifying eight years of college attempt to prosecute home owners to advance their government sector jobs with progressive ass-kissing—which makes great headlines in progressively owned newspapers—who love government schools, large police departments, massive fire departments, and more government bureaucracy on every city block. Anything that advances big government ideas are supported by the progressive even if the man defending his family with a firearm by blasting criminals who enter his home goes to jail for murder. Progressives do not care if the father is thrown in jail as the children can be raised by their government schools and the wife can be placed on government assistance. If she cannot afford to keep the home provided by her marriage to her husband, then she can move to government housing, as all statists know that under Agenda 21, that is the eventual goal anyway. For the woman who loses her husband to years in jail for defending their home, she will simply see those days sooner than later—as all members of society will join her under progressive plans. In this way, the tax payer supported prosecutor sides with the criminals and is the enemy of the homeowner.
Progressives see all property as everyone elses, so the laws which have been shaped in our modern society reflect this trend. A home invader cannot be simply shot on site as they may not be armed. They may only want food and water and these things are entitled to all human beings under the version of reality that the progressive functions under. The progressive thinks in essentially the same fashion that the communists of the Soviet Union once believed, or the people of current China. The greater good is more important than individual life—this is how progressives can support abortion causes and the occasional death of home invasion victims, because they know that reckless sex makes more women desire government assistance and crime expands a community’s desire for more police—all of which are activities that grow government workers. If individual lives are ruined in the process, the progressive does not care.
The way the world should work is that such bandits as shown in the video above should be eliminated before they ever enter the property parameters. The laws the way they are currently written protect criminals from the homeowner so they care nothing to knock on a door at any hour of the day and demand to use a phone, or seek shelter for some emergency. Once a bad guy is on the front porch, conflict favors him and the homeowner is at a disadvantage. The home owner should have the right to eliminate a threat just for being on their property—which would discourage bad guys from even making the attempt. For those who have never known pure evil, they can claim ignorance—which is the way the progressive functions with everything in their life. They intentionally strive to be stupid so they can have plausible deniability. This method doesn’t just work with President Obama and his IRS—who are massive progressive government advocates, but with just little details in everyday life, like who is going to pick up the child from soccer practice, and what day is trash night—as one spouse may not enjoy the tasks and seek evasion to keep them out of the activity. If one does not wish to take out the trash, they can simply say they forgot which day it was, because they had plausible deniability beforehand. If a progressive wants to end private property, individual rights, and expand government support of Homeland Security, the FBI, or the local police, then they will attack the Second Amendment so that citizens need government for safety. Their supposed intentions toward justice are simple plausible deniability schemes to expand government.
The greatest fault of the progressive is in their commitment to intelligentsia for solving all social problems with a version of civilization that is built upon evasive ignorance. As society is “bigger” than any one individual the society gets the attention and any number of individuals are to be sacrificed for the “greater good.” In this way the progressive feels they are nearly a religious cult against the individual whims of gun owners who desire to selfishly protect their properties which have no value to the progressive. The progressive believes that they can manage all aspects of human life from food supply, sex, and intellectual stimulation—and that once they are in every part of a human life, then all human beings can be “managed.” Progressives believe the criminal in the video above is equal to the homeowner, so they do not pick sides, and do not care who kills who in the grand scheme of things. But they will side with the criminal by restricting the home owner with laws so that the crime can advance their progressive causes for more police, more government dependence, and the ever-present fear of the unknown. In the grand reality of our modern-day, the criminal is more valuable to the progressive than the responsible home owner because the criminal advances progressive politics, where the homeowner does not. The gun takes away the fear that progressives need to advance their statist government philosophies.
Progressives are just as dangerous as the criminals in the video. They both wish to impose themselves upon individual lives. The criminal is simply the foot soldier of the progressive politician—allowing the politician to have deniability while the dirty deeds are done by the criminal. The progressive hopes to have a certain percentage of the population that is hooked on drugs, or working for the criminal element, because it gives government something to do, and a reason to expand. If there is peace, and if the home owner can simply end all threats to their home and families with a gun, then the progressive is at a loss, which is what they fear most.
What does the New World Order look like once all the forces at play today have their way tomorrow? Have a look at the map Glenn Beck assembled with a couple of his guests as they put together the pieces of a world few are willing to acknowledge is a possibility.
I thought it was a joke when I saw the video of IRS workers practicing their dance moves for an upcoming training conference in Anaheim, which lasts just under three minutes, and comes out weeks after it was revealed that agency workers produced two other videos parodying the “Star Trek” and “Gilligan’s Island” TV shows.
In the video at the link above where my local public school of Lakota was doing a large music video to raise money for Spina Bifda it doesn’t take much looking to see that the effort was driven by the adults of the school, in some bizarre attempt to be young again with their students. When it comes to acting silly, and being “crazy,” young people are allowed some behavior fluctuations as they are still growing. They’ve only been on earth for 15 to 18 years and have a lot to learn. But when adults crave with every essence of their bodies to be “young” again, there is a real problem when such people are put into positions of authority. There is a section of that Lakota video, shown below for review, where the school superintendent and the school board are seen dancing like a bunch of lunatics. The superintendent actually held up a sign saying something to the effect as “superintendents’ rock.”
If an adult has a desire to “re-live” their youth so they can enjoy the so-called best days of their life—there is something wrong with their minds. It wouldn’t take much effort to prove that those minds are suffering a varied degree of mental illness. These types of psychologically deficient people are often found running for school boards, chaperoning school dances, and hauling their children to every social event so they can be on the “inside” as much as possible with the lives of young people. The behavior really becomes a problem when it is considered that such neurosis is the root of millions of dollars of wasted money as such minds are incapable of proper management of their own lives, let alone guarding tax payer resources.
The IRS workers in the Anaheim training video is but a window into the world of the typical government worker—the undeveloped mind of the typical bureaucrat who craves desperately to return to the pubescent body of a 15-year-old child to be forever young. The workers thought their video was cool, and socially hip. Like a bunch of teenagers who have no value for money, or the worth of real life things, they saw no reason to avoid spending vast sums of money on a stupid video showing other IRS workers how cool they are, and how they can self-parody – which is the new cool.
The trend of a statist, collectivist oriented society is to declare to the world that one is imperfect and is in essence no better than the next person. The best way to do so is to perform public actions that display humility. This lets others know in a group that one does not take themselves too seriously, and are prone to self-sacrifice for the good of the many. This is the culture of government and why teenagers behave so badly in public after being taught by government schools for 10 years of their already short lives. They are taught by idiots to be idiots—so we shouldn’t expect anything less of them. But for years, the behavior was hidden from the outside world as only those who worked for such institutions saw what really went on. That was how life was before YouTube took away censorship, and put up honesty for all to see good and bad. That is what we can see in the IRS video, and the Lakota music video, government institutions who think they are doing good, that are actually displaying a gross desire to be simple teenagers.
The cost of the federal government as it is operated by these insufficient bureaucrats is incalculable. Leaving such people in charge of anything is similar to leaving teenagers alone at home while vacationing. As soon as any responsible party leaves the house, the teenagers want to have some kind of destructive party and the house gets trashed. These are the type of people who are running the government. They are grown adults who think like children, and they simply duplicate in their government offices replicas of their glory days in high school—the government institution that shaped their thoughts. The IRS officials saw no problem with their video production. They didn’t care what the cost was, because like teenagers, they have no value for such things. Their emphasis was completely on what’s “cool” and shows the greatest humility in a public setting.
I find the IRS video appalling. It’s not cool. It’s not cute. And the people dancing in the video look like idiots, I feel sorry for their kids who have been robbed of a proper role model—and given a tremendous disadvantage in life. The behavior points to how easily the culture of the IRS was able to turn the power and fury of the federal government toward conservative Tea Party groups as the odd balls in society just as children in a school are taught to identify children who are not “cool” as targets of social bullying, and peer pressure. The culture of complacency is in place by the very nature of the typical IRS worker, who is simply a grown teenager, and just as irresponsibly dangerous. Only those teenagers are given authority over our society in every context, and that is an abomination that needs to be revisited with a dedication to a flat tax that would allow us to dismantle the IRS as it is now so that taxpayers aren’t forced to pay for such silly employees with their hard-earned money. If there was ever a rally cry for such a need, the dancing training video done by the IRS is it!
