Satan Living at The White House: History Channel’s Bible explores the 800 million pound elephant

I have studied The Bible most of my life and my approach to religion has been most closely represented by the Harrison Ford character in the film Mosquito Coast than virtually any other portrayal I could otherwise provide.  With that in mind please watch every one of the videos at this site after reading the text, especially the last one as supplemental material to the below article.   I am always looking for and asking questions, so I am not prone to believe everything written down for me that migrated out of the European Dark Ages.  Rather I look to such material for the story behind the story—which is often richer than the superficial metaphors released through the censors of history.  But with that said I love the History Channel’s Bible series immensely and think it has been a wonderful epic that I hope restores some sense of goodness and value upon our society.  In that regard, I believe that Mark Burnett and his wife Roma purposely made up the Satan actor Mehdi Ouzaani to look like President Obama in the History Channel epic for a damn good reason which I will explain.  But first listen to what Zo has to say about the Devil and the Obama resemblance on PJTV.

To understand the situation in Hollywood and why wonderful producers like Mark and Roma Burnett would give money to Obama and the Democrats yet turn around and make Obama the Devil in their fantastic rendition of The Bible is to understand the story of the Prophet Daniel.  When Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem and took the Hebrews as slaves back to Babylonia to be fattened on its captured nations the pompous king held a fear over the slaves similar to how Obama commands respect.   Nebuchadnezzar came to feel that he was superior to any monarch who ever lived and the Hebrew people were required to bow at his feet and worship as he mandated. For the most part the Hebrew people publicly did as they were told while their true religion was forced underground.  Even the great Prophet Daniel played along with the fanatical Nebuchadnezzar so to preserve his life making himself available to Nebuchadnezzar so that he could best serve his people—the captured and enslaved Hebrews from Jerusalem.  Earning the trust of Nebuchadnezzar Daniel after successfully interpreting the dreams of several of the King’s nighttime visions had earned the right to address him frankly.

“Do I see here the sacred gold and silver vessels that King Nebuchadnezzar brought from our holy Temple in Jerusalem?” Daniel said aloud.  “O King, did you and your dancing-girls and your lords and their wives drink wine from those holy vessels?   Did you toast the idols of your gods and gold, silver, iron, wood, and stone?  Did you do that with the holy vessels, O King?”  Daniel is of course speaking of the destruction of King Solomon’s Temple where the Holy of Holies was ransacked and destroyed.

The king’s eyes became cunning. “We meant no disrespect, Daniel.  But tell me the meaning of those words and I will put a chain of gold around your neck, give you purple robes, and make you third in command of my kingdom.  Unlock this secret to me, Daniel, and these honors shall be yours.”

Daniel worried whether he could dare tell the king that he would soon become insane and that Nebuchadnezzar stood to be condemned to death.  He worried that telling the king this upcoming fact might bring the royal sword across his neck, so he began to speak slowly once an old woman who was the discarded former queen and wife of Nebuchadnezzar prompted him by forming a warning with her silent lips—“Give the king an answer.  Give it quickly.”  So Daniel spoke, “Let your gifts be for yourself.  Give your rewards to another.”  Upon that the king’s hand fell to the hilt of his dagger but Daniel now knew his course, knew that this king was a sinner, an idolater, a living violation of every law of God.  His voice now took on an edge.  “O King, the Most High God gave your father glory and majesty, and when Nebuchadnezzar hardened his heart, the Most High turned him into a beast until he knew that God ruled the kingdom of men.  But you, his son have not humbled yourself.  Instead, you have fought the Lord.  You have brought the utensils from God’s Temple and defiled them with toasts of our own gods.  The true God, who puts breathe into you, who gives you life itself, you have not honored.  So He sent a living hand to write His judgment on you.”

Nebuchadnezzar did not like the prophetic warning which went on to explain that Darius the Mede would take over a divided kingdom between the Persians and the Medes. But Nebuchadnezzar soon fell ill to insanity and lost his capacity to rule, as Daniel had predicted.  When Darius the Mede arrived unchallenged at the gates of the kingdom, the Hebrews fell to their knees to honor their new conqueror of which Daniel quickly befriended to earn the release of his people hopefully from this new tyrant.

Things got off to a rough start between Daniel and Darius especially when the new king became angry and locked Daniel into the lion’s den.  But Darius came around once he had second thoughts and returned hopefully in time to save Daniel from consumption only to find the lions purring like kittens at Daniel’s feet.  This started a chain reaction of events that ended up freeing the Hebrews from their captivity in Babylon.

Fast forward to the Book of Revelations written by a shadowy “second John” figure in the time of Nero which is where the number of the beast 666 is derived from by adding up the consonants of his name.  The essence of this portion of the bible is to properly articulate the influence of Satan upon the world, the same Satan who acted as “The Evil One” or the Devil in Christ’s three temptations.  Satan was animated in The Bible by an unrelenting hatred against God and all goodness, Satan is engaged in a world-wide and age-long struggle against God, ever seeking to defeat the divine plans of grace toward God’s making and to seduce men to evil and their ruin.  As “the deceiver of the whole world” (Rev. 12:9), his primary method is that of deception—about himself, his purpose, his activities, his coming defeat.  Satan was the seducer of Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:1-7; II Cor. 11:3); he insinuated to God that Job serve Him only for what he got out of it (Job 1:9; he stood up against Israel (I Chron. 21:1) and God’s high priest (Zech. 3:1-2).  Under divinely imposed limitations he may be instrumental in causing physical affliction or financial loss (Job 1:11-22; 2:4-7; Luke 13:16; II Cor. 12:7).  He snatched away the Word of God sown in the hearts of the unsaved (Matt 13:19), sows his counterfeit Christians among the sons of the kingdom (Matt. 13:25, 38-39), blinds the minds of men to the Gospel (II Cor. 4:3-4), and induces them to accept his lie (II Thess. 2:9-10). Often he transforms himself into “an angel of light” by presenting his apostles of falsehood as messengers of truth (I Cor. 11:13-15. He clashes in fierce conflict with the saints (Eph. 6:11-18). Is ever alert to attempt to destroy them (I Pet. 5:8), and hinders the work of God’s servants (I Thess. 2:18).  Certain members of the church who were expelled are said to have been delivered to Satan, but with the design to produce their reformation, not their destruction (I Cor. 5:5; I time. 1: 20).  Now, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to compare the Presidency of Barack Obama to the Biblical Satan if all the references mention above are investigated and read in context to compare the work of Obama objectively to that of Satan.  I would dare say that the two are nearly parallel to each other.  Obama’s presidency is built entirely on deception, even down to simple statements about Benghazi, and Fast and Furious.  I don’t even believe him when he discusses his Final Four Bracket picks.  Based on Barack Obama’s actions, I believe he is a perpetual liar that is intentionally deceitful and has aims very comparable to the Biblical definition of Satan.

If I were Mark Burnett and his very nice wife Roma, who believes intently in The Holy Bible, and I looked around Hollywood and knew that I was surrounded by many who have been seduced by evil convinced Obama is an “angel of light,” I might be very cautious of my actions and work very hard not to earn the reprimand of my peers who are acting as agents of evil.  Like Daniel the Prophet I might fear the axe across my neck for speaking the truth.  But in honor of my spirituality and my very soul I would make Obama the Devil in my miniseries so that I was clean in the same way that Daniel spoke carefully in his wording to King Nebuchadnezzar about the downfall of his kingdom.  I believe the Burnetts knew exactly what they were doing and their purpose was for the higher aims of God by naming an evil so evident on Earth with an artistic and acceptable plot device.

To name the evil in public for many people means doom, their careers will be ended, and their families hunted down and killed by skiing accidents and other tragedies.  (Refer to Sonny Bono’s skiing accident several years ago.)  Mark Burnett is not stupid.  The best thing to do if you’re a powerful television producer working in Hollywood surrounded by the encroachment of evil, and are powerless to stop it, is to at least do as Daniel did and make yourself close to King Nebuchadnezzar and Darius the Mede.  You give a little money to Satan to turn his gaze away from your underground worship and in California “faith” has certainly been pushed underground.  If Burnett wants to keep his ability to produce shows like The Bible so that he can do great social good through his connections, he has to play the game like Daniel did because evil is in charge.  The Burnetts did a bold thing with The Bible television series because they referenced the 800 million pound elephant that everyone has been thinking about when it comes to Barack Obama.  Most everyone with a clean mind has been uttering for some time that they believe Obama is the Anti-Christ.  They fear to say such things in public because of progressive ridicule, but around the water coolers, restaurants, and dining room engagements, Satan and Obama go together in conversation as meaning the same thing.

I do not believe it is a coincidence that Obama decided within a week of this controversy caused by Mark and Roma Burnett’s very controversial Satanic reference to suddenly make appeasement with Israel and fly to The Holy Land to visit Biblical relics and show support of Christian and Jewish faith.  In the world of deception which falls from the Obama Administration like snowflakes in a snowstorm the actions speaks louder than the implication.  For those who believe in Satan and either the historical context of The Bible, or even the metaphorical—did anyone ever believe that Satan or the epitome of evil would show up with a long red tail, horns and a pitchfork?  Evil never appears as something disgusting in any culture on Earth, it always comes as a trickster and deceiver of human minds.  It comes through enchantment and popularity—and can be seen best when a president who has had an adversarial relationship with Israel which seems to mimic the modern-day tensions between the Islamic and Jewish faith over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, flies Air Force One days after he has been called Satan by one of the most popular television programs in history to prove that he is not what he’s being accused of.  Alarm bells should be sounding.

The evidence is easy to see but difficult to admit, and I think the Burnett’s message is quite clear.  They did a good thing—a risky thing, but it needed to be done.  Barack Obama might as well be the Nebuchadnezzar of Hollywood.  In the film business the same forces that put Obama in The White House control all the major trade publications, so appeasing them is paramount if one wants to stay in business.  Obama like Nebuchadnezzar may not be the physical manifestation of Satan, but they are certainly agents of evil no matter what social perspective is analyzing history.  Satan would never appear in a form on Earth where its appearance would be repulsive to the societies of mankind.  Satan might appear behind the mask of a woman’s breasts in a pornographic endeavor, behind the bright lights of a casino, or behind a spread the wealth president shielded by civil rights sins of the past through guilt and complacency.  Ultimately Satan appears behind a smiling face with bright white teeth to conceal an agenda of destruction as the intentional aim.  Such a human mask would have access to the entire world as it transforms itself into “an angel of light” by presenting apostles of falsehood as messengers of truth.  I stand with the Burnetts, their Bible series is timely and important, and never more needed in how it has forced society the world over to look hard at itself and question if the path we are all on is the correct one, and that the Mark of the Beast is metaphorically stamped upon the head of the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Second Call Defense: The first defense is a firearm, the second is from the parasites that follow

One of the great themes of this site is to highlight the many ways that progressives have attacked traditional American culture.  Progressives have an intense desire to wean Americans away from all forms of self-reliance so that national collectivism and addiction to government services are provoked.  This has never been more evident than in relation to The Second Amendment of The United States Constitution.  In the good ol’ days when a criminal nut-case broke into a home to steal a loaf of bread and was shot dead by the homeowner on the front porch of their property, the sheriff might come out—make a record of the case while enjoying some corn whisky brewed from a room in the back of the home.  The homeowner would be treated respectfully and with honor and the assumption of guilt would be placed squarely on the character lying on the porch stiffening up due to rigor mortis.  However, not any more—as progressives have seeped like viral insects into every aspect of American culture, legal, media, education, elected office, etc.  The homeowner shooting intruders on their property have become saturated with panicky analysis and over-zealot gun grabbing politicians who want to build careers off their suffering.  Progressives directly and indirectly have destroyed the very concept of individual rights in America for which The Second Amendment seeks to protect.  In 2013 if a homeowner shoots a criminal nut case on their front porch the homeowner will be arrested aggressively and thrown into the back of a police car.  Their computers and personal possessions will be confiscated and scrutinized and the property held by the state until prosecution of the shooter is concluded.  The shooter will be charged with murder as the attacker wasn’t inside the home.  The situation will be made worse when it is discussed that the attacker was only armed with a knife deeming no immediate threat to the homeowner who could have avoided opening the door and hoped the attacker would move away on their own.  Progressive groups would then attack the homeowner in court through testimony stating that the attacker was simply hungry because they lost their job and needed food.  Media outlets will then broadcast the story all over America about how the attacker had a “collective right” to the possessions of the homeowner and that if the shooter had only been willing to share his assets with the attacker both would be alive and free today saving the tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars in court costs.    When the frustrated defendant proclaims on the stand that “it’s not fair that a nut-case trying to attack their private property had more rights than they did,” the prosecuting attorney would simply respond, “how do you know the slain victim was a nut case?  Are you a psychologist?  Where did you study?  What degree do you hold that enables you to proclaim that the victim was a so-called nut-case?  These are the kind of things only professions are qualified to answer.”  This is why George Lang along with a fistful of other patriots has started a new legal group called Second Call Defense.

In fact that was George Lang playing the hypothetical role of a homeowner defending his property from an attacker.  In the video several examples were given about real life tragedies where the homeowner used a gun to defend their life yet found themselves in financial ruin because of the legal aftermath where parasitic entities sought to capitalize off progressive gun legislation that is entirely too aggressive.  Lang knows a lot from an insider’s track about how the legal system can be just as much of a parasite attacking personal liberty as an intruder in a home.  He is a trustee of West Chester Twp, in Ohio where the community pays its police department better wages than any place else from Pittsburg to Indianapolis.  George has seen firsthand many cases similar to the example above cross his desk not just in his home town but all across America.   This is the primary reason that Lang and his group have teamed up with The Buckeye Firearms Foundation to offer gun owners, supporters of The Second Amendment, and property owners’ legal help through Second Call Defense.  They also offer preventative measures against the progressive encroachment of a legal system gone mad.

http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/8823

Progressives wish to believe that government has all the answers and can 100% of the time be relied upon to correct social debaucheries.  Do-gooder politicians like Senator Diane Feinstein have built their careers injecting their progressive beliefs into every tragedy that strategically seeks to focus legal analysis away from individual liberty toward collective salvation.   For well over 100 years now this gradual eroding of personal liberty has shifted the focus of behavioral studies away from any form of property ownership toward collective necessity.  In court shooters will be grilled on the stand as to “how did they knew the attacker was a threat if they were simply on the porch and not brandishing a knife?” The burden of proof falls on the homeowner and not the dead victim as progressive legal interpretations have given the attacker the right to do as they please on the homeowner’s front porch.  The homeowner has an obligation to call the “authorities” who will then inject themselves into the business of the homeowner and supersede their authority on their own property.  To the progressive, the issue is not about guns, or the rights of the shooter, or even the dead body on the porch—the real villain is their hatred of private property and a sinister desire to erase the concept of it from the minds of Americans.

Yet, even if the homeowner called the authorities, there is no guarantee that they will act honorably and in the best interest of the caller.  As George Lang knows all too well, the cops sometimes find that they are not too far away from the decrepit mind of an attacker and are all too tempted to abuse their power at the expense of the homeowner.  Lang had to participate recently in a West Chester Township financial settlement where over-zealous young cops seemingly hungry to prove their manhood beat an un-armed drunk after a fight at a late night sports bar.  The drunk wasn’t even part of the fight that had occurred much earlier but was simply the last person left on the scene.   The cops wanted to exert their authority on someone abusing the man beating him senseless.  Even with video evidence telling the story convincingly the superiors sided with the officers proving beyond doubt that in a court of law, the drunk had little chance of defending himself as all the cops had their stories aligned.  It was when a grand jury examined the case that Lang realized the cops were in the wrong and the decision had to be made to pay the victim in a settlement to avoid further financial detriment to the community because of the police mistake.  CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE ON THE STORY WITH VIDEO.  So even if the cops are called to save the property of a homeowner, there is no way to know what type of officer might show up in a police car these days in a society that values deception over honor.

Second Call Defense was created to provide some help with these types of gun related cases.  Once an attacker decides they want whatever it is that a property owner has, only one threat has been contained if the property owner uses a gun to stop that threat.  From there an entire legal system of progressive activists, deal making politicians, morally deficient law enforcement, and presiding family members who may not have cared one ounce for the life of the defeated attacker, but in death through civil lawsuits and the promise of easy money the life of a typical scum-bag suddenly becomes worth a king’s ransom.  A shooter protecting their property in 2013 America not only must protect themselves from attackers in the middle of the night as shown in the video above, but from the legal parasites who wish to make their careers off the backs of tragedy which is often the real threat.  It is that second threat that Second Call Defense seeks to protect its members from.  No other organization offers such a service in all of America.  Second Call Defense offers training and education on legal firearm use, emergency resources such as a 24/7 legal hotline and upfront cash for attorney retainers and bonds.  Insurance coverage for criminal and civil protection that is backed by the NRA endorsed insurance program is also offered.  Most people can’t afford to put up thousands of dollars to get up to $10,000 upfront for an attorney retainer, immediate cash for a bond up to $250,000, up to $500 per day in wage compensation while in court, up to 40 sessions of psychological support, and up to $250,000 accidental shooting protection, $50,000 criminal defense reimbursement, unlimited civil suit defense protection, and $250,000 civil suit damages protection.  Second Call Defense does all this and more.  The first defense is in the property owner defending their life with a firearm.  The second defense is from the parasites who seek to make livings off the misery left in the wake.  From those, a gun cannot protect anyone.  But now there is a group that can, Second Call Defense.

‘Atlas Shrugged Part III’ Gets the Green Light: John Galt is coming to a theater near you

553360_584040931607735_1441395240_nMarch 26th 2013 will forever go down in history as the day Atlas Shrugged Part III was announced with a green light for production making it the last film in the epic trilogy following the novel by Ayn Rand published in 1957.  The novel since that time has been consistently ranked as one of the best-selling books in history behind only The Bible and is the unique product of American philosophy which is exceptional any place in the entire world.

484664_584040964941065_684047097_nThe pictures shown within this article indicate that the production group led by John Aglialoro plan to hit this final epic conclusion hard and with great passion.  I had the privilege just a few weeks ago to watch Atlas Shrugged Part II with a Tea Party crowd which was deeply inspiring.  (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW)  At the end of the movie there was open emotion in favor of seeing Part III as Part II ended on a cliffhanger that has not been seen since The Empire Strikes Back left audiences hanging on the edge of their seats for three long years.   The producers of Atlas III will not make fans wait that long as they journey in 2014 to Atlantis which is nicknamed Galt’s Gulch in the novel.480024_584040814941080_389361707_n

The point of the entire book–which critics of the previous two films who are not fans of Ayn Rand do not understand—is to meet the long discussed John Galt, who is in essence the perfect man.  Galt’s Gulch is the creation of the main protagonists which fans have not had a chance to see until this upcoming film.  The producers promise to begin filming in the fall of 2013 on the East Coast so to save roughly 20% of the production cost imposed on them from the previous two films shot in California.562172_584040871607741_1880474588_n


The Atlas films are not for everyone, so most of the movie going audience will not be sure what to think about the translation of the Ayn Rand epic to film.  For those who enjoyed the recent History Channel presentation of The Bible, the approach to the Atlas films is very similar.  At the end of Part III when watched from beginning to end in one large 6 hour presentation, the Atlas Shrugged films will be much more satisfying to the casual audience.DSC04288

482049_584040594941102_662034239_nFor the millions who enjoy the book, they will enjoy the movie.  For those who find Ayn Rand’s novels life shattering, they will hate the movie.  They will absolutely hate what John Galt represents when they meet him and they will do everything in their power to stop viewers from seeing the film when it hits theaters on July 4th 2014.  The best explanation for why some people, particularly on the left hate Atlas Shrugged and its author Ayn Rand so much can be seen from that same Bible series on the History Channel.  The reaction critics have toward Atlas Shrugged is the same that the Pharisees had toward Jesus Christ.  536178_584040728274422_2128899224_nThe message of John Galt is dangerous to such people, and they despise John Aglialoro for putting into film a book that is considered to be a menace to society by politicians like Barack Obama and his gang of collectivists.  For that reason, it is a small miracle that the production of Atlas Shrugged Part III is going to happen at all, and thank goodness it is.  There are people in the world that are desperately hungry for its message, and now more people than ever will have access to a masterpiece which is uniquely a product of American philosophy.  John Galt
The reason America has been the greatest country on Earth is what Atlas Shrugged is all about, and the definitions are unquestionably uttered by the words of John Galt.  In the summer of 2014, the world will learn just Who John Galt is.  Many viewers will like it, and many more will hate it, but the philosophy will side with the minority as history will chronicle the victor.  The truth is indisputable and is contained within the words that John Galt will utter in an epic masterpiece in the making, Atlas Shrugged Part III which is coming soon to a theater near you.

Henry Morgan–King of the Buccaneers: The Tea Party and why flying a black flag is righteous

$T2eC16RHJHIE9nyseGoiBQCnCj(Sdw~~60_12Out of all the figures of military genius and political strategy that have so far graced planet Earth it is the pirate Henry Morgan that I most respect and understand.  I see him as the father of the liberty movement in America as his exploits in the book The Buccaneers of America launched John Locke and many philosophers to follow a path that would eventually become The Declaration of Independence.    Welsh buccaneer Henry Morgan, at age 36, captured Panama City in violation of Anglo-Spanish treaty. Morgan stood trial held for the crime in the Tower of London but King Charles II of England forgave him, and then knighted him.  The King then made him lieutenant-governor of Jamaica in 1674. [1]  When people ask me why I honor a much darker version of the Tea Party flag such as the one displayed on the bottom of all my postings and is flown at every meeting that members of Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom conducts it is because of my fondness for Henry Morgan and his brilliant strategies which launched mankind to create the first democracies human kind has ever seen.  His exploits chronicled so well in Alexander O. Exquemelin’s classic controversial book are nearly as grandiose as those shown in the marketing videos for the Captain Morgan Rum Company who routinely explores Morgan’s life in mythologies built upon his legends as seen in the video below.

I see the modern Tea Party struggling with nearly the same problems in 2013 that Henry Morgan struggled with in 1659 when England under King Charles II through Tortuga Governor Elias Watts gave Morgan Privateer status. A privateer in international law is a term applied to a privately owned armed vessel whose owners are commissioned by a nation to carry on naval warfare. Such naval commissions or authorizations are called letters of marque.  Privateering is distinguished from piracy, which is carried out without enlistment by a government. The practice of privateering preceded the creation of national navies.  During the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century), European states having few or no warships hired merchant vessels for hostile purposes. Privateering was carried on during the American Revolution (1775-1783) and the War of 1812 (1812-1815). During the American Civil War (1861-1865) the Confederacy engaged in privateering.  At the Hague Conference of 1922 to 1923, participating countries issued a joint declaration against the use of privateers in aerial warfare.[2]  The modern Tea Party was given by the Republican Party a kind of letter of marque to attack the establishment of the Democratic Party in much the same way that England wished to conduct war with Spain in 1670—without actually declaring war against a rival country that was actually engaging in public displays of civility.  Once Spain had seen the hardest lessons of Henry Morgan’s swashbuckling antics all over the Caribbean they pleaded with King Charles II to reign in the charismatic buccaneer.  This is what Republicans have done after the election of Barack Obama just prior to the fiscal cliff negotiations in December of 2012, they turned their back on the Tea Party as Republicans attempted to get their “privateers” in the Tea Party movement to fall into line of party rule.  In short, they expected Tea Party members to do as the King commanded.  The king in the modern case for Ohio was John Kasich, and at the national level John Boehner with Karl Rove trying to noticeably carry the Republican Party to a more progressive position to win votes away from Democrats in the next election.

Well, that wasn’t acceptable to modern Tea Party members just as it wasn’t acceptable in Henry Morgan’s time.  When word came down to Morgan’s ears that England had made peace with Spain he chose to ignore the information.  He had other plans, and he had maintained a small pirate army in Jamaica at the city of sin called Port Royal which he kept perpetually starving for gold by encouraging the pirates there to blow all their earnings on massive amounts of liquor, wild sexual orgies, and lifestyles that put the fuses of their lives out by age 32.  I do not agree with the way the pirates conducted their lives with lawless morality.  I do not like the constant pursuit of didactic human pleasures common with a pirate’s life in 1671 Jamaica.  I do not support intoxication of the mind in any form, so in regard to Henry Morgan’s strategy of nurturing the entire town of Port Royal into a pirate haven of debauchery I disagree with him vehemently.  But he had a very good reason for keeping the pirates perpetually hungry…………he wanted them to be ready for battle to pillage more military targets on a moment’s notice, and if they were  fat, dumb, and happy, they would not be willing to risk their life and limb to serve under Morgan’s command.   As a result, democracy was born on the decks of Morgan’s pirate ships.

For the first time in human history sailors from the King’s army served in closed quarters with slaves recently escaped landing from Africa.  All men were equal on the deck of a pirate ship including the captain, and the philosophy that would shape American government was born.  Such a thing is easily taken for granted in hindsight, but before this period no human being anywhere on Earth valued personal freedom more than the pirates who raided with Henry Morgan.   They were an invention of his personal strategies.  I would give Francs Drake and Francos L’Olonnas equal credit if not for the added ability of Morgan to gain the ear of King Charles II by making the England sovereign extremely wealthy.  Morgan managed his fate from the lowliest prostitute of Port Royal to the highest office in the world at the time and he did it across an ocean that took over three months to cross one way.  Alone, Henry Morgan brought all of Europe to its knees and eating out of his hand with swashbuckling antics that are shockingly brilliant even by modern standards.  A small sense of Henry Morgan’s impact on history can be seen in the below short documentary by a group of underwater archeologists who believe they have found Morgan’s sunken 22 gun flag ship The Satisfaction.  The documentary is funded in part by Captain Morgan Rum to research their iconic namesake for the benefits of capitalism.  Without such funding, archeological exploits like this simply do not happen.

The King of England had negotiated peace with France and Spain and withdrew their “letters of marque” in an attempt to gain control of the rapidly escalating chaos of Jamaica.  The amount of money that was flowing through Port Royal, primarily into the pockets of prostitutes were nearly equal to the national incomes of most countries, so Charles II had to get it under control.  Now the privateers who had been operating under Morgan’s leadership with privateer status were considered pirates across the world since no nation would back them.  But the freedom that such men tasted as privateers in Morgan’s military antics for England—without the formality of naval discipline–had shown itself difficult to suppress.  Men and women of all ages, races, and financial backgrounds had declared themselves equal on the decks of pirate ships for nearly 50 years after Morgan’s time.  This became the period explored romantically in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean ride and films.  This freedom movement would be further refined by Thomas Jefferson a hundred years later in his Declaration of Independence.  While scholarship served as the swords of America’s Founding Fathers the idea of freedom had been captured on paper by John Locke, with the severed heads of many Spanish soldiers by Henry Morgan.  The grandsons of such pirates settled into legitimate businesses in Boston, New York and Philadelphia to start the Sons of Liberty who would use similar tactics as what Morgan employed to rid themselves of English rule.

Click here to see the Henry Morgan/John Locke connection in what appears to be evidence Locke’s Treatise on Civil Government was being shaped on observations made of Morgan’s Jamaica.  (Page 84 of Admiral Sir Henry Morgan: King of the Buccaneers.)

Long before the Republicans in the modern age abandoned the modern Tea Party—which was created by The Sons of Liberty back in 1773—I saw the writing on the wall.  Republicans were preparing to abandon the Tea Party by withdrawing their “letters of margue.”  This is when I started to use my own variation of the black, “Don’t Tread On Me” pirate flag, instead of the standard Tea Party Gadsden flag.  The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Positioned below the snake are the words “Don’t Tread On Me.”  The flag was designed by and is named after American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden. It was also used by the Continental Marines as an early motto flag, along with the Moultrie Flag.  Gadsden also presented a copy of this flag to the Congress of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina. This was recorded in the South Carolina congressional journals on February 9, 1776:

Col. Gadsden presented to the Congress an elegant standard, such as is to be used by the commander in chief of the American Navy; being a yellow field, with a lively representation of a rattlesnake in the middle in the attitude of going to strike and these words underneath, “Don’t tread on me.”[7]

For my use, Gadsden’s flag was not aggressive enough for the tasks before us in the modern age.  Knowing that Republicans would pull away from the Tea Party eventually I kept my personal distance from the movement as I chronicled in a previous article where Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom members enshrined themselves in my new version of the Gladsden flag that was my silent nod to Henry Morgan.  I planned take the type of strategies Henry Morgan utilized to bring freedom back to America, so I thought the black flag was more appropriate to the 2013 circumstances.

History does repeat itself and once understood courses can be changed.  Henry Morgan understood history, and the minds of man, and was able to use them to shape the craving for freedom that would eventually free slaves in The United States and pave the way for the greatest nation on Earth.   I credit Henry Morgan with much of that responsibility because if not for him, human beings may have quickly allowed themselves to become suppressed under the foot of ruthless and greedy monarchs as they had for all of human history up to that point.  Even the simple, peaceful process of electing Presidents in America was started by pirates following Morgan’s lead of electing ship captains to head up each voyage.  If the captain proved to be insufficient, the pirates un-elected him and a new captain was put in place.   As barbaric as the pirates were in the start, the shift in human philosophy had seismic ramifications that would percolate throughout history delivering us to the struggles of the modern age.  The pirate is so important to the idea of freedom that even Ayn Rand had a very important pirate in her great classic novel Atlas Shrugged with the dashing Ragnar Danneskjöld.  Ragnar was a philosopher who became a privateer under John Galt’s strategy of choking off resources to parasitic socialism returning America to a fictional era of freedom. Alone Danneskjöld defied the might of the United States Navy and of all the People’s Navies of the world to be, as he famously said, “the friend of the friendless.”  Like the fictional Ragnar and the actual Henry Morgan, the pirate flag flown at the end of my postings, and off my front porch is a “friend of the friendless.”  The friendless are those who have been spat upon by the Republican Party and other orthodox political machines.  The black flag calls out to them and lets them know that philosophically speaking, there is safe harbor within its borders.  It also means that when it comes to defeating the enemies of freedom, unconventional tactics are useful, and needed.  Like Henry Morgan’s time, politicians will turn on a moment’s notice and work against privateers casting them into piracy by simply withdrawing their endorsement.  What actions might have been done under orthodox government one day might be called piracy the next—but what is consistent is always the desire for freedom in a human being.  It is in understanding this very simple idea that Henry Morgan was a genius who went from destroying the impregnable Spanish city of Panama, avoiding jail for war crimes, winning the first libel lawsuit in history and making the King of England rich beyond his wildest dreams becoming an official “knight” of the English crown in the process.  But Morgan’s greatest feat of all  was in planting the seeds of liberty in America through the pirates who traveled on his ships and would bring an idea to mankind that no country, no individual, no organization had ever contemplated—the idea of real and true freedom for all men and women everywhere.image009

The next time dear reader you have the opportunity to sip on a bottle of Captain Morgan Rum, take a swig and think of Henry Morgan whose likeness graces the label.  He is the father of freedom as any human being who has ever tasted it understands it.  It is because of Morgan that there is a United States at all, a nation born from rebellion and the greatest threat to dictators currently the world over.  My black flag is the message to the threats of freedom that imposition will not be tolerated whether functioning under a letter of marque or under the rogue status of pirate—the loyalty that the Tea Party movement  stands for is not loyalty to any party—but to the idea of freedom that was invented in Port Royal, Jamaica in 1671 by Henry Morgan and his wild and woolly band of swashbuckling pirates.  Take a drink and toast the black flag declaring to the world, “DON’T TREAD ON ME!”

What Happens at a Tea Party Meeting: Agenda 21, Commissioner Disputes, and two candidates running as West Chester Trustees

Many wonder what happens at Tea Party meetings.  Some fantasize that the participants dress up in 1776 outfits and talk about raiding the federal government.  But the reality is much different as can be seen in the video below where members presented updates of political happenings occurring in the local community.  In the case of the example below the general theme of the meeting was highlighting instances where local politicians showed a tendency to take federal money and sacrifice the sovereignty of a state or local management by doing so.  At the West Chester meeting of March 19, 2013 an update of the Butler County Commissioners was given and a very dramatic update with film footage of the West Chester Trustees meeting.  A central Tea Party concern which comes up at many trustee and commissioner meetings locally all over America is the impact of Agenda 21 which is a list of mandates created by The United Nations to impose its will upon The United States negating the effectiveness of elected offices.  Agenda 21 is a far left-winged philosophy constructed by the architects of Socialist International and has cleverly been imposed upon a vast majority of American municipalities riding on the back of federal money, which politicians like West Chester Trustees Catherine Stoker and Lee Wong vote in favor of so they can gain access to the funding.  (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO)  George Lang during a recent meeting addressed this issue of Agenda 21 only to get a colorful rebuke from Stoker at the 16:45 minute mark of the below video.

The mistakes that Catherine made during the exchange is the same that Governor Kasich is currently doing with Medicaid expansion in the state of Ohio, the federal government dangles money raised through taxes like a carrot in front of the greedy faces of people like Stoker and the temptation nearly 100% of the time is to grab it.  Stoker and trustee president Lee Wong want the federal grant being argued about at the trustee meeting because it will free up money to be used in other places and provide relief to their budgets.  For a politician creating a new bike path or a new bridge to nowhere is all too tempting as it provides them something to do, and an achievement for which to be re-elected on.  Any time a politician can build something with other people’s money then take credit for the achievement it makes their résumé more attractive to re-election allowing continued access to the perks of elected office.  The architects of Agenda 21 knew this a long time ago.  They knew that Americans would never accept direct infiltration of socialist ideas, so they constructed their plan to exploit the weakness in America of poorly qualified politicians eagerly seeking federal money to prop up their careers instead of managing their finances.

The easiest way to understand this relationship is through any local public school system.  Typically financially strapped school boards are always looking for new federal programs to help them hedge against the costs of their labor force which is always on the rise.  School boards actively apply for Head Start, No Child Left Behind, and Common Core programs so that they can gain access to federal money in the same way that West Chester trustees seek a grant to construct a sidewalk.  In schools which are run by progressive labor unions—the same kind of international forces committed to Agenda 21 strategies shape their policies as well.  They openly push to exceed their payroll from the previous year not so that teachers can be well paid, but so school boards will always have a need for federal money to absorb the 3% to 7% labor increases incurred every fiscal year.  When the labor unions at the national and international level push for more money in their membership they achieve two things, they gain “useful idiots” who are so well paid that they won’t question the source of the money and will fight in the trenches to always apply pressure on management causing them to act irrationally reaching for federal money.  They then can achieve the real objective of superseding local management authority of curriculum decisions by imposing the will of The United Nations which comes with the federal money.  This is the current danger with Common Core instruction.  The federal money allows some pinhead in a faraway land to decide what goes on a school curriculum and the tendency of public unions to continuously be overpaid forcing elected management to the public coffers to accept handouts.  To gain the money Agenda 21 type strategies must be accepted as the condition for taking the money.

Obviously Catherine Stoker did not appreciate George Lang even bringing up Agenda 21.  In all reality she probably has no idea that it may have originated  in some Geneva gentleman’s club constructed on paper over watered down whiskey and lap dances given to comb-over U.N. bureaucrats pretending they are ruling the world through legislation instead of the way their European ancestors did—by the point of a sword.  Stoker like tens of thousands of politicians just like her all over The United States doesn’t want to know about Agenda 21.  They want to simply take the money like a teenager who has just received their first credit card and begin charging all the things they want to buy to a federal credit limit to be paid later by somebody else long after they have built their personal legacies.

After seeing that video and the disgusting transactions that occurred, two West Chester citizens stepped forward to announce that they were going to run for trustee against Lee Wong and Cathy Stoker in the upcoming 2013 election.  It was Mark Welch who stepped forward during the video to announce his candidacy.  Obviously he had been teetering on the subject for some time, and like many, he is busy with his personal business and has better things to do.   Usually it’s the vacant souls who run for office because they need elected office to fill their social identities with something useful.  But this is how management of taxpayer resources becomes so distorted—which prompted Welch to act.  Seeing Stoker so recklessly accept federal grant money for a stupid sidewalk was enough for him to commit to the cause.  Another man after the camera was turned off and the meeting was dispersing announced his candidacy as well.  Mathew King threw his hat into the ring with the intention to help bring fiscal sanity to West Chester by contributing real management to the Board of Trustees for a change.  George Lang is a successful person in his private life so he does not seek office to prop himself up as many do—which is why he can see why taking federal money is a bad idea.  But he is only one vote out of three, and the other trustees who are both up for re-election in 2013 do not share his values.  The other two trustees are obviously using their office to fill a personal void in their lives that can only be filled with other people’s money—and this makes them dangerous necessitating a need for others like Lang to run for elected office.

Both Mathew King and Mark Welch are already independently successful so they do not need the nameplate of elected office to advance their careers.  That is why they should be trustees instead of the typical politician like Stoker who has her hand out for every federal dollar she can qualify for.  Ultimately, these are the kinds of things that routinely happen at local Tea Party events all over the nation.  I have to been to many of them, and spoken at several myself, from Oxford, to Clermont County all falling under the umbrella of The Cincinnati Tea Party where the host of The West Chester Tea Party is also the president.  The people who attend typically are very caring and have arrived at a stage in their lives where they value wisdom and share it openly with the other members.  What I like about Tea Party members most is that typically most of them read, and read a lot.  A love of books and all things literary is a common attribute to Tea Party members.  For that reason alone I would support the candidacy of the two men who vowed to run for the two open trustee seats—because they are most likely to read the fine print of contracts and federal mandates before committing West Chester to federal control designed by far-away legislators seeking to impose progressive manipulation upon local management through Agenda 21.  If not for the Tea Party, there would be nothing to stop such global power grabs and the erosion of freedom which comes from every federal dollar taken by the hand of a worthless politician who wants to build just one more sidewalk to paint upon their tombstones a glory that can only be purchased with other people’s money.

“Do They Not Realize That This Is War?”: Statements on OEA’s Becki Villamangna’s Facebook page

“Do they not realize that this is war?”  These are the kind of “pro-education” advocates that Ohio Education Association representative Becki Villamangna corresponds with on her Facebook account.  Becki is the Communications/Political Action representative for the OEA and she has targeted my friend Kelly Kohls who is the school board president of Springboro for attack many times.  Due to the success of that school district in driving down their labor costs without impacting the tax payers, Becki’s arm of the OEA has aggressively attacked Kohls with all the fury of any combat maneuver in war.  CLICK HERE to read about one of Villamanga’s radical attempts to harass Kelly which I have covered here at the Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom before.  The OEA is clearly frustrated that they have lost many of their battles in Southern Ohio, particularly at the Lakota, Mason, Springboro and West Clermont school districts.  Kelly Kohls has become the focus of the massive Ohio public sector union because she has had the most success in doing what radical progressive educators fear most—management of their financial resources.  However in Northern Ohio where there hasn’t been as much pushback against the unions as there has been in the south, schools around Cleveland are still using the extreme extortion tactics that the OEA are so famous for.  (I say OEA because most teacher unions in the state of Ohio fall under the umbrella of the OEA.)  To education professionals who are COMMITTED to progressive agenda items they are in education not for children, but because they are at WAR with the public who leans toward traditional values.  Such Ohio Education Association tactics that have been attempted on a smaller scale against Kelly Kohls in Springboro are being done on a larger scale in a Cleveland, Ohio suburb as shown in the video below where teachers are on strike and retaliating against the substitute teachers the school has hired to keep the schools open for kids.  Watch this!

The striking teachers feel so entitled to their jobs that they have been posting flyers to neighbors of those employees attempting to apply peer pressure by using the classic “SCAB” terminology against the replacement workers.  The idea behind such a derogatory term is to use collectivism to impose a union will on individuals who simply want to make a living, so that labor leverage can be maintained by the striking employees.  The OEA members who are striking are firmly committed to communism, and are caught in their belief of turning the capitalist society of America into a socialist state-run by the education elite.  They of course don’t call their ideology “communism” by name, but their practice reveals their intentions.

I don’t ask you dear reader to take my word for these accusations.  I simply ask you to look at the facts.  For such proof, as the OEA is locked in their labor dispute in Cleveland trying to push replacement workers out of their jobs before the uselessness of their real teaching value is exposed as a fraud, Becki Villamagna was posting the below comments on her Facebook page during February of 2013.  Becky had just returned from a training class with her members where she received some push back as she attempted to do on the microcosm what the OEA is attempting to do on the macrocosm of Cleveland.  She openly complained about the resistance she was getting from her own members who found her Saul Alinsky strategies too “radical.”  Becki knows what she is doing; she is attempting to apply peer pressure on her OEA members by letting them know about her disapproval seeking other like-minded opinions to build up a consensus against the dissidents.  It’s a variation of The Delphi Technique done on a much smaller scale using Facebook as the Change Agent.  Have a look at her exact dialogue and a couple of responses she obtained.

Recent Becki Villamagna Facebook posting

This morning I gave a training session on electing and working with school board members. Many of you will be shocked to hear that one participant didn’t like me because some of my suggestions were too subversive and were only “dirty tricks.” Share ·

  • Patty Ray do they not realize this is war? February 4 at 12:58pm

  • George Bozovich Some folks just don’t get it! February 4 at 1:05pm

Patty Ray’s response to Becki Villamagna’s posting says wonderfully what the OEA is all about and how education professionals truly think in their hearts.  The OEA is at WAR with the rest of society which is why they are attacking replacement workers in Cleveland, and why they are attacking Kelly Kohls at virtually turn.  They are at war with anyone who stands in the way of their social advancement of progressive causes and the proof is in the dialogue they use with each other when they think nobody else is looking. Of course you’ll find no newspapers that will cover this issue, because they are in on the deal.

Many, including teachers trained by Becki Villamagna are beginning to see that education is not about teaching kids with the OEA, but is about WAR.  They are just now learning what I have known for many years now.  That realization is the primary reason I named this site what I have…..Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom as opposed to something more conventional………more press friendly.  We are at war with the OEA because they started that war against those of us who value traditional American principles, particularly in education. People like Becki Villamagna, Patty Ray and the nut cases harassing substitute employees in a Cleveland suburb are villains in that war to those of us who want to see goodness being taught to children, and social stability advocated by education institutions.  It is a war by their own declaration, and actions.  I have watched their behavior for many years and decided that if they wanted war, then they’d get war.  They would be beaten intellectually, they would be beaten with radicalism—if need be, and if they wanted to get violent, they would receive it back twice for what they issued.  I prefer the intellectual debate, but when they run out of emotional bullet points and they attempt to attack personal character and toy with violence as their method of coercion they have received it back in return.

They learned this most dramatically a year ago when they tried to smear me with the famous Kroger survey.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  My response was so epic that it made radio news and print media all over Cincinnati and like a football player getting a penalty for retaliating; it is usually the second player that gets the call from the referees.  But I’m willing to take the political penalty because the message to the radicals needed to be clear.  There will be pain inflicted in return for pain issued.  Those are the rules of war as instigated by the education unions.

Wars are not won with kind words and placation.  The OEA members are some of the worst people I have ever had to deal with as to radical social behavior.  They have the destruction of America in their minds and they are terrible people because their ideology makes them corrosive.  They openly use children to execute their maniacal plans for social progressive changes at the expense of society, and this defines their essence.  Wars are won by taking away from the other side the will to continue fighting.  This is what the OEA does to people like Kelly Kohls and the poor substitute teachers in Cleveland.  The OEA attacks them directly hoping to rob them of their will to stand opposed to the union’s progressive agenda.  This is why Patty Ray said on Becki’s Facebook, “Don’t they realize this is war?”  She says it because to the OEA radicals they are at war with the taxpayers.  The answer to Patty is that some do know it, I know it, Kelly knows it and thousand upon thousands of other tax payers know it now, and we are willing to engage.  The effects are already evident within Becki’s own organization.  The teachers in her union are beginning to question her methods and are fighting back against her kind with polite resistance, as Villamagna complained about on her Facebook page.  This dissension in their ranks will only widen over the coming years, and the strength of their movement will be shattered eventually.

I knew this would be the ultimate ending for the OEA union when they first came after me in the fall of 2010.  My critics might call my anger and behavior the results of “thin skin” because they expected me to take their personal attacks with the maturity of a “civilized” “white man,” as defined by progressive strategists and their view of the typical conservative American.  The hero of the OEA–Saul Alinsky described his plans in 1972 to begin to organize the white middle class across America.  The necessity of that project became his book Rules for Radicals which Vicki and the OEA unions certainly gobbled up nearly word for word in their activist practices.  Alinsky believed that what President Richard Nixon and Vice-President Spiro Agnew called “The Silent Majority” was living in frustration and despair, worried about their future, and were ripe for a turn to radical social change.  Alinsky desired to create social mechanisms to entice The Silent Majority into becoming politically active citizens. Even if Vicki Villamagna does not have Rules for Radicals on her book shelf, she has been taught the concepts instructed in that book under different names by her labor union—who widely adopted Alisnky as their prophet for radical change in America.  This is what progressive labor unions have done in our public schools, and what their part in the “WAR” is all about.  Saul Alinsky feared that the middle class could be driven to a right-wing viewpoint if progressives failed in their task, “making them ripe for the plucking by some guy on horseback promising a return to the vanished verities of yesterday.”  So thus, my strategy is now clear and its effects are beginning to be seen as the secret is no longer strategically necessary.  I have read Rules for Radicals and studied Alinsky, so I know what Villamagna is up to when she protests my friend Kelly Kohls.  I know how to beat those enemies of traditional America.  They will be beaten because they were the ones who declared war against traditional America and deserve what is coming.

As time proceeds, more and more logical people will flee from the ranks of the OEA.  They will leave because the OEA will lose this WAR and their power will erode away as their exploitive methods are continually exposed.  One of the great victories in this war is the one where Becki Villamagna has the most at stake with Kelly Kohls because Springboro is a glowing success, and will expose much of what the OEA declared for years to be complete lies.  Once that truth is revealed, there will be major dissention among the labor union ranks and the troops on the battlefield of the OEA will dissolve once their self interest is shown to be outside the union organizations.  The OEA deserves to be defeated, and smeared in the mud because of the way they treat others—namely the innocent workers trying to keep schools in Cleveland open so children can continue learning.  The intent of the radicals in the OEA is clear, and defines why they must lose the war not just quietly, but spectacularly.  As a reader here, and casual participant, you can trust that I will not disappear into a void of oblivion because I set out in this war to win it, not to come to a drawl, or shake hands and make a deal.  I set out to destroy my enemy—those who openly exploit children for their own selfish progressive desires. Kelly Kohls will also continue.  Nothing has stopped her yet, and she is proving correct in her strategies to the great success of the Springboro taxpayers.  But you dear reader can help defeat the OEA by signing the Workplace Freedom Amendment when you see it.  CLICK HERE TO CONTACT.

There is nothing that beats a progressive villain better than giving people the freedom of choice.  Progressives HATE choice just like the socialist/communist hates capitalism.  Choice destroys their order of tyranny.  By supporting Workplace Freedom you allow the teachers who told Becki Villamagna her tactics were too subversive and were only “dirty tricks, the chance to leave Becki’s organization completely which will cut off the money that supports the WAR on the progressive side.  This is how we can beat the evils of progressive advancement—simply by taking away the money they use to attack us.  In the meantime, I will continue to be that guy on horseback promising a return to the vanished verities of yesterday.  I will do it because I believe it.  But I will also do it because it is the surest way to destroy the attack of the progressives into the roots of America from which they seek complete destruction.  And I will enjoy every, single minute of it.  Justice one way or another will be obtained—it will prevail as sure as these words are written.  Yes we are at war and to answer the question of Patty Ray we do know it, and we are coming to claim the victory and enjoy the spoils of war—that was launched against us under a banner of peace.

I participate in this war because I want to be that guy on horseback promising a return to the vanished verities of yesterday and I don’t take a dime from anybody to do it.  I do it because it’s the right thing to do.

Matt Mayer Speaking at the West Chester Tea Party: How to remove John Kasich from office and why

51ENkmLjHZL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_SX240_SY320_CR,0,0,240,320_SH20_OU01_It only takes about 350,000 voters to knock Governor Kasich out of the running for a 2014 re-election which is information that state Republicans do not want anybody to know.  Kasich ran for office as a Tea Party governor and he has failed, mainly because he does not support Right-to-Work in Ohio and is attempting to expand Medicaid so that his budget can gain federal money allocated from Obamacare.  Kasich as a Republican governor might as well be Barack Obama as they are both big government politicians who wish to expand entitlement programs in favor of advancing their political careers.   That is what the Tea Party is now beginning to say about Governor Kasich.  The case against Kasich and the true reality behind Ohio health has best been articulated by Matt Mayer who is the author of the new book Taxpayers Don’t Stand A Chance.  He is also President of Opportunity Ohio, and a Tea Party supporter along with his right-hand-man Chris Littleton.  Both men are extremely active in Columbus politics and have the inside track on policy.  In the videos below, they accurately establish that under Kasich Ohio is no better off than if Ted Strickland were still governor, or if Barack Obama was Governor.  Matt and Chris spoke to the West Chester Tea Party in the following videos “packed” with information.

Republicans are terrified of the Tea Party position because they don’t want to lose having a Republican as governor.  For them, they win if they retain their elected seats.  Ideologically, almost all politicians think the same way.  They are universally devoid of principles and only want to do what they have to in order to keep their offices.  They will lie, cheat and steal to retain their seats, so Republicans pull together as a collective to defeat Democrats so that in mass they can keep their elected offices.  At the end of the day Kasich is absolutely no different from Barack Obama because both will do whatever they have to in order to win re-election.  They function from a lack of personal conviction.  In Kasich’s case, he is the leader of the Republican Party in Ohio by default, so as a collective unit, other Republican Senators and Representatives get in line behind Kasich’s strategy, and for the most part everyone sticks to the same story.  For the Tea Party, who simply wants fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets, if the Republicans aren’t giving them those things, then the politicians have failed to do what they were elected to do.

Many of those politicians will call people like Matt and Chris “extremists” and radical “right-wingers.”  They will do everything they can to discredit the efforts of any Tea Party patriots so that the greatest threat to their parasitic existences can be eliminated.    Matt Mayer is President of Provisum Strategies where he provides strategic and tactical political policy advice to public and private-sector clients.  Mayer also serves as a Visiting Fellow with The Heritage Foundation, America’s top think tank, where he writes and speaks on national security issues.  He is also a Research Fellow at the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs.  Mayer’s first book, Homeland Security and Federalism: Protecting America from Outside the Beltway argued for reversing the federalization of homeland security by returning power to the states and localities.  I could go on and on about Matt Mayer, in fact his “about the author” section of his book goes on for two pages of experience at both the federal and state level positions.  He is the recipient of the ABA-BNA Excellence in Labor & Employment Law Award and has given testimony to the U.S. Congress, Texas House and Senate, the Ohio House and Senate, appeared on Fox News, C-Span and on and on.  When it comes to politics, Matt is a genius and his friend Chris Littleton seen in the next video is equal in many ways.  The information that Chris will provide below is stunning, and one of the best kept secrets in politics.

For most political insiders and industry brick builders, their first thoughts about people like Matt or Chris is that if they are so brilliant—such extraordinary minds–then why aren’t they running the Republican Party instead of Karl Rove.  Why are they wasting their time giving free speeches and traveling all over the state and country without any prospect of “profit?”  As Matt finished his speech above and Chris began I watched Mayer leave.  After giving me a wave goodbye he stepped out into the cold March evening and started up an average looking weathered car to drive off to his next speech.  At the end of the day he’d drive back to his home in Dublin, Ohio putting hundreds of additional miles on his car promoting a book that he is donating 100% of the proceeds to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library.  Chris could tell almost the same type of story.  I have spent many evenings speaking with Chris and can attest to his sincerity.  Chris or Matt could make millions of dollars exploiting the system the way Kasich is doing currently along with hundreds of other state Reps, Senators, and their ornamental lapdogs—but they don’t.  Both men know so much about politics that they could be rich beyond measure if they chose to, but instead they speak at events like the West Chester Tea Party and write books for free, because they simply want to educate society.   They do what they do because they are good people who care with all their heart and souls about the world around them.

Kasich in the quiet of his office when all the other politicians have left his ear would probably wish he could be either Matt Mayer or Chris Littleton.   It takes a strong man to have the knowledge to crush enemies and exploit their toil for all the gold one can carry away in their pockets, yet avoid doing so.  Most politicians exploit every opportunity to their advantage.   But to walk away from the temptations of exploitive wealth and do what’s right is reserved for only the best men.  The reason people like Matt and Chris are so outraged at Governor Kasich isn’t because they think ill will of him.  They are outraged because they have not sold their souls to political life and still have their ideas intact.  They have not compromised their beliefs in favor of a political career as Kasich has, so they earned the ability to be critical of those who have.  The Tea Party they speak to, and through with books like Taxpayers Don’t Stand A Chance also have the right to be critical of John Kasich and his Republican stooges.  Republicans along with Democrats have lied, stolen, and manipulated to keep their offices, so it goes without saying that the punishment for them should be to lose those offices even if it costs Ohio the loss of Republican seats.  Those Republican seats are worthless if the politicians who sit in them behave like progressives, or standard Democrats.  It is not the obligation of Ohioans to turn their gazes the other way while John Kasich earns his chance to run for President of The United States by delivering to Ohio an entitlement expansion of Medicaid that will crush the state economically 10 years into the future.  The responsible thing to do is to identify the behavior as a failure even if it is painful, because the right thing to do is often not easy, or free of pain.

As I watched Matt drive away from the speech out of the parking lot, it was not in a new Mercedes, a BMW, or any other luxury vehicle.  It was just a normal car driven by a dad of three children and husband to a wife waiting for him in Dublin.  If he was just a bit less ethical, he would be a millionaire, who would have garages full of luxury cars and his children would never have to worry about where their money would come from next.  But the difference between Matt Mayer and Governor Kasich is that Matt knows that if he doesn’t fight to keep things under control today, that there won’t be a Ohio, or a United States for his children to live in tomorrow.  So Matt does what’s right and difficult, while politicians like Kasich just make short-sighted deals for a future that they are helping to destroy.  That is why the Tea Party is contemplating how and why to remove John Kasich from office.  It only takes 350,000 votes in a primary to yank him and his dreams of a presidency from contention.  Such a thing is a suitable punishment for trying to expand Medicaid in Ohio then standing in the way of Workplace Freedom when the surrounding states are pulling ahead rapidly toward a future that will soon be out of reach.  When Kasich says that he believes it is a sin to not expand Medicaid as he did in the video above he is simply exploiting the poor to purchase his own redemption using tax money to satisfy his warped reality.  It is not compassionate to steal money from others to give to the so-called needy.  It is called theft.  That is why there are thoughts to hit Kasich where it hurts most.  There must be justice for the direction Kasich has chosen to lead Ohio, and until there is punishment, politicians will never do the right thing.

The Danger of Public Education: My ‘Letter to the Editor’ about government schools

During the late fall of 2011 into the winter of 2012 WLW radio was speaking to me about becoming their on-air “education correspondent” for all topics that involved public education.  The role would be similar to how they currently use Mike Allen for legal issues or Nathan Bachrach on financial discussions.  While I was honored they showed such an interest in me deep down inside my feelings about public education had deteriorated considerably from my experiences.  I went from thinking that education was just out-of-control financially—to something that was socially dangerous for American culture.  I did not think I could provide neutral commentary on the topic during radio programs.  I had developed a hatred for public education that only solidified as the first months of 2012 emerged culminating with a meeting by the Lakota School Board which I chronicled in an article titled, “The Day Lakota Died.”  I had learned in my dealings with education professionals over a 5-6 year period that wisdom was not the objective of public schools.  They were simply indoctrination centers driven by government for the sinister purpose of advocating social collectivism.  When Lakota Superintendent Mantia uttered during the last levy campaign that the money was needed to carry children into a 21st century “global” economy she was revealing the same strategy discussed recently by David Barton on The Glenn Beck Program seen in the video below.  Public education as it was discovered by Barton in Texas, and copied by virtually every public school that takes federal money, is fulfilling a far left agenda driven by government bureaucrats for the aim of government expansion under a socialist ideology that has been decades in the making.  What public schools were essentially doing in the modern era was the same type of thing that was done under Lenin in Petrograd during the 1920s, and I was not happy about it.  The Soviet takeover of public education was chronicled by Ayn Rand in her near autobiography titled We The Living, so the strategies happening at Lakota were not unique to our modern age.  They have happened before, so the signs are now easy to see.  I had to change my position on public education from just a tax reformer to someone who could speak against the practice.  Being a correspondent on WLW radio would only pull me in deeper to the education tyranny, when the opposite direction was what I needed to pursue.

What David Barton revealed in that video should alarm every single parent with a child who is school age.  It should alarm every tax payer because it is property taxes from virtually every American that funds this terrible evil.  What Barton discussed is not isolated to public schools in Texas, New York or some far-away land like California, but it is present in hometown U.S.A. in schools like Lakota.  The evidence is in comments like Mantia’s “global education.”  It has been the strategy of radical education professionals for years to steer society in a far left-winged direction, and they have been using our schools to do it.  It is clear now upon looking at the last couple of generations of youth coming out of these schools what the attack against America has been.  The evidence is obvious, young people have been taught to be progressive, to vote for people like Barack Obama, to support entitlement programs, abortion, and revisionist history, and it is destroying our country by changing the electorate and their voting priorities.

I have said the same kind of things that David Barton reported for more than three decades now.  While my own kids were going to public school I was always at odds with what they were learning and I sometimes spent entire Saturday afternoons speaking to them and their friends teaching real history instead of the revisionist crap they were learning in school.  In the back of my mind I was hoping that I was wrong, but I knew I wasn’t.  Instead, the situation was far, far worse than I was even willing to admit.

When it comes to education discussions, I am aware that most of society is not willing to face up to these truths………yet, so I try to be considerate of  their beliefs when speaking and writing for public forums, as I was in the below Letter to the Editor which came out in a recent Pulse Journal.   My public school of Lakota has spent thousands of dollars prepping the community for another levy attempt in the upcoming 2013 elections and has ignored some of the most essential facts regarding the demographic necessity for tax increases.  So I wrote my “letter” to remind them of their ignored facts, and to let them know that there would be tax increase resistance when they made their attempt.  The people involved on the other side of the issue are not stupid—they are simply foot soldiers trained to execute the objectives of public education as outlined in the 1958 book The Naked Communist.  CLICK TO REVIEW AND PREPARED TO BE SHOCKED AT THE LIST YOU’LL SEE THERE.  Public education is attempting to do two things designed with the implementation of the Department of Education in Washington in 1979—to gain control of the minds of children and steer them away from the traditions of their parents so that they would look to government as the authority in their lives. The D.O.E. plan of attack is to pay for the offensive off the backs of property values so that private ownership is attacked.  Such a thing may be hard to believe, but the mountains of documented evidence can be seen in video testimony by CLICKING HERE.  In hind-sight the strategy is quite clear, and I hinted at such revelations in my letter displayed below:

Combined with the Lakota Superintendent’s articles here in the Journal, the “Community Conversations” program, along with a few pro Levy speeches, and I can’t help but feel that I’m watching a football game where the home team is losing 45 to 0 yet the cheerleaders are still on the sideline with their pom poms in hand completely oblivious to the events happening on the field of play still reciting the “cheers” they learned in practice.

Much to their dismay, the “Levy Addicts” who are pounding the drums for another tax increase this year and are attempting to soften the resistance with new strategies, the score up on the board is not in their favor.  Lakota as a district is about to see an influx of income from the Liberty Way Development, the Carriage Hill Development, and the continued growth of the Union Center corridor.  All the tax revenue coming in from these activities will be more than the previous year.  Combine that trend with the 10 year projection of declining student enrollment due to the number of homes in Lakota without children increasing–balancing the budget without a tax increase should be easy.

The old mantra that education is for the “kids” is old and worn out.  Nobody believes it any more just like nobody believes the home team is going to win when the score is so lopsided yet the cheerleaders are still on the sideline saying the same mindless drivel that they have the entire game.  What the levy supporters want with tax increases is simply a glorified community babysitting service.  What I have learned about public education these last couple of years does not lend credence to any kind of education quality even for so-called great schools like Lakota.  For the 18,000 people who have turned down these levies over the years for multiple reasons, we have no choice but to support the product now, which is currently too expensive.  It is simply unfathomable to ask for more, especially when the score is so lopsided—in spite of the mindless cheers.

The progressive left has been successful in labeling anyone critical of their strategies as “crazy,” so few challenge their aims.  The situation at Lakota is that there is plenty of money coming into the school and they could avoid tax increases against the community due to the declining enrollment.  But this upsets the “Levy Addicts” tremendously as they unconsciously are working to achieve the aims of The Naked Communist.    I say unconsciously because I doubt Karen Mantia at Lakota and her minions of latte sippers have ever read that book, or know of the 45 strategic points articulated there.  They simply want the federal money to pay for their progressive labor contracts, and they will do whatever the federal government tells them to do to get the money.  This is why they are implementing Common Core practices and other Agenda 21 strategies without knowing anything specifically about those government programs.  They are simply the non-thinking pawns that the radical progressive left uses to achieve their manipulative aims.  So when dealing with my community at large I avoid using the world shattering language that is behind the truth, because most people just cannot accept that reality.  They are not prepared to understand what David Barton is presenting.

David Barton is more correct than even he has been willing to admit.  Public education is dangerous, and is the most corrosive element to modern America.  The proof is all around us and is easy to see.  The American family has been destroyed by public education, morality in America has been destroyed by public education, religion has been destroyed by public education, the economy has been destroyed by public education, political understanding has been destroyed by public education, the understanding of history has been destroyed by public education, individuality which is uniquely an American trait has been destroyed by public education and I could go on and on.  Yet this isn’t the worst of it, there are ideas in federal education think tanks disguised behind good tidings to bring America far more dangers, which is the intent behind Common Core.

Knowing all these things, it would have been impossible for me to continue speaking on WLW the way I had been from 2010 to 2012.  With each month that passed in my investigation the evidence added up to support the accusations shown above and it has caused me great outrage that I cannot contain.  No American child should attend a public school as they are designed today.  It’s not to say that I do not support education.  Personally, I think young people and adults are severally lacking in their educations, but public education is NOT the way to get it.  Public education is simply government propaganda and is treacherous.  It needs to be spoken about as a public menace, instead of the savior that many wish it to be.  If public education is allowed to continue brain washing children into a “global” marketplace the way that superintendents like Lakota’s Mantia wishes, it is at the expense of American sovereignty.  Public education wants to destroy the values of young people so that students embrace larger government, and the evidence can clearly be seen in recent election results.  The system has to be stopped and reborn.  Competition must be injected and the government monopoly of education destroyed, so that children’s minds can be preserved—because public education is about destroying minds, not improving them.  The fact is a grim reality, but is an unquestioned result of the propaganda driven progressives, and their fanatical desire to destroy traditional American values in favor of “global collectivism.”

Why Politicians Just Can’t Leave Us Alone: What the New York Mayor, Ohio Governor, and King Saul all have in common

One of the reasons that secular progressives have such a desire to remove religion from mankind’s mind and replace it with a belief in government is that they wish for the mistakes of the past to re-emerge among Earth’s societies in perpetuity.  As politicians they want to be like King David and kill Goliath with a rock, only to steal the wife of his most honored advisors and believe that he can spit in the face of God while doing so.  They wish to believe that they are like Samson, that they can fall in love with Philistine women and engage in reckless relationships so long as they don’t cut their hair and still have the strength to tear down the temple upon their enemies at will.  Yet once in office they find that they are like the Biblical King Saul in that they don’t have the courage to be the whole package and seek instead to destroy their rivals who are closest to their heels in competition in order to maintain power for their family lineage.  The stories of religion no matter what the faith are littered with failed men and women who sought to have dominion over others, and faltered to the doom of those serving under their leadership.  Kingship is the great fantasy of almost every human being—to be walking Gods on Earth and to stand between mankind and the afterlife.  Progressives seek to eliminate religion for the same reasons that Kings of old did, so that the people who they believe they lead will seek the King as the highest form of worship, not a mysterious God from some other existence.  If the lessons of the past are erased, people are more prone to forgive the faults of those who currently want to be king and allow their rule to continue without analysis.

The biggest problem with Medicaid expansion, Obamacare, Social Security, and all the other big government entitlements is that like the kings and queens from the stories of religion the authors of the entitlements have kingship in the back of their minds when they sell the programs to the public for social benefit.  This has never been so clear in the modern sense as what Mayor Bloomberg has attempted to do in the city of New York with his crusade against soft drinks.  Bloomberg as a radical progressive wants to ban soft drinks within the city under the mantra that the health impact will cost the state millions in Medicare payments.   The Mayor feels he has a valid point because it is true that soft drinks lead to diabetes and other diseases, and as the state of New York does have a financial stake in the health of its people due to entitlement programs that politicians work to keep funded, healthier New Yorkers are in the interest of everyone.  Mayor Bloomberg wants to pat himself on the back at night like King Saul did many times in his audacious love of glory.  Nobody wants to contemplate that New York should not have a stake in the lives of all New Yorkers though entitlement programs and the real secret behind the motivations of people like Bloomberg is that he wants to spread such programs to more people so that he can have more power in his city and state.  The real desire is not to help people, it is to gain control over them.

When the Prophet Samuel struggled with the idea of anointing a King for Israel it was because of the tendency kings had in committing evil once they became drunk with power.  Saul was no different.  And the favorite servant of God, King David the harp player for Saul who waited in patience for many years to gain the crown also became seduced with that power when he sent the husband of the woman he most desired to his death under David’s command to hide the King’s adultery as she was carrying his child.  Bloomberg who sees himself as King of New York has the same faults.  He uses the mask of safety and concern for New Yorkers to hide his desire for power, and social redemption.  He wants to believe that he is righteous, and that his people will thank him someday for his concern for their lives.  For the same reasons that Saul sought to kill David, politicians like Bloomberg seek to destroy capitalism because it threatens their progressive encroachment on the lives of those they believe they rule over.  Soft drinks are symbols of capitalism and the freedom to live unhealthy lives away from the kind of teachings that “good Kings” like Mayor Bloomberg or “Queens” like Michelle Obama wish to impose on their “subjects.”  It is through entitlements that the progressive politician seeks to gain power over individual New Yorkers.  Michelle Obama is already salivating that Obamacare will have the same ability on a national level—to tamper with the lives of all Americans—for their own good, as defined by the corrupt, power-hungry ruler.

Ohio’s John Kasich is probably one of the most religious governors currently in The United States, so he knows all these bible stories.  Yet even so, he could not stop himself within two years of gaining the governor’s seat to ignore the Tea Party’s Health Care Freedom Amendment and expand Medicaid which would bring in dollars from Obamacare into Ohio and help him balance his budget under the flag of helping the poor, which he is now very concerned with since he wants four more years of Governorship in the 2014 election.  You would think that Kasich would have learned in Sunday School the corruption of King Saul when he sent his troops out to kill David because his subjects loved the valiant warrior—and former harp player.  Yet, Kasich is doing exactly what Saul did, he seeks to align himself with the corrupt and powerful so he can gain access to Obamacare money, and at the same time buy the votes of women and the working poor in Ohio so he can run for President in 2016.  Saul wanted the crown to pass on to his son when he died, so he feared that David would destroy his family line.  Kasich wishes to gain the Presidency for himself using entitlements to buy votes—and therefore gain control of all Ohioans by forcing them into Obamacare and all the rules, and costs that come with it.

Even the best politicians behave like King David, and his son Solomon.  They all have well intended ideas, and believe they are doing social good through their rule.  They all fantasize that they are Gods on Earth whether they admit it or not and are acting on behalf of the greater good.  So it quickly becomes clear why secular progressives want to destroy all signs of religion from people’s minds.  They wish to conceal the lessons learned from Bible studies and religious metaphors the world over so that the kings and queens of politics can have their chance like gamblers at a slot machine to hit the jackpot and become Gods on Earth for the first time in history.  If there is any truth to the world domination theories that come out of the Bilderberg meetings and other elitist encroachments on personal liberty it is this “God-rule” desire that is at work, the right and will of some to rule over others for a kingdom in the making with high-minded aims at eternal salvation.  It’s been done before in history and will be attempted again and again so long as mankind is on Earth or anyplace else.

All collective based policies have these root causes draped behind well-intended consequences.  All government expansion leads to people like Mayor Bloomberg wishing to control the population through gun legislation forcing people to “get along,” or soft drink bans forcing them to “stay healthy.”  People who desire to dish out “social justice” by the kings of politics think they are doing God’s work when they expand government for the good of all as they define “good.”  But what they fail 100% of the time to do is prevent the faults of their limited thinking from corrupting their intentions with fallacies plagued with deficiency.  Mayor Bloomberg may be rich, but that doesn’t’ make him “good.”  He seeks to add “goodness” to his résumé which he will present at death’s door upon admittance by forcing New Yorkers to do “good” under his rule. In this way Bloomberg like the many kings from the Bible wish to believe that they are doing God’s work.  But in reality they are only tyrants, and corrupted whores who lack understanding that it is freedom which is the highest moral premise and is the guiding light behind all spirituality.  Knowing some of these people up close and personal over the years they all come to realize that they may have entered politics with the ambition of King Solomon but they leave it under the pretense of the whore in Jericho who helped reveal the temperament of the city to the attacking Israelites.  At the end of their life politicians like Bloomberg and Kasich will simply hang a little ribbon on their doorways and hope that the afterlife is kind to them in forcing the people they ruled to cut down on their soft drinks or help the poor through wealth redistribution through Medicaid, which hopefully will pass them into the gates of heaven.  But they will be horrified to learn that they should have listened to the Founding Fathers in America all along—which is why Thomas Jefferson created his own Bible of only passages from Jesus Christ—because the Bible lessons intend to teach that power corrupts and that the truly strong walk away, and do not fall in love with their political offices.  What is truly good is when people act on their own volition and do good not because they want a more powerful office, or wish for dancing-girls to perform at their feet—but because they are truly good, and spiritually correct in embracing the freedom to live and think by learning from the lessons of history for an improved tomorrow without corrupt leaders and would-be social slavers.  The secular progressive wishes to not only hide these messages from the people they wish to rule, but from their own eyes, because to know and understand history is to have the inconvenient burden of correcting the behavior.    For Mayor Bloomberg it is far easier to just ban soft drinks.

Why Government Isn’t Needed: The unspoken honor of the American Biker

DSC04543This little story is for the politically left leaning supporter who believes that government brings fairness to the world by taking from those who have and giving to those who don’t, and that security is provided under an umbrella of policing authority.  Every single day of my life I am engaged in a science experiment that has technical and behavior science ramifications which involves the motorcycle seen in the picture above.  I seldom ever part from that motorcycle as it goes virtually everywhere I do every single day of a calendar year.  I ride that motorcycle in the worst rainstorms, heaviest winds and even in the snow and ice.  One time this past year of 2013 it snowed so badly while I was out and about that I couldn’t even turn my front wheel to change direction from one road to the next.  I was regulated to only traveling in a straight line and then could not stop because the roads were so slick.  Needless to say I did not crash.  Part of my experiment is to see how much the human body can take in endurance while still performing at a high level.  The nature of riding motorcycles means that there is no room for mistakes, so they cannot be made.  By riding my motorcycle all year I get to break all kinds of perceived rules that society believes they must function under, and it gives me fresh perspectives that are useful elsewhere.

Most days riding that motorcycle is uneventful.  But over the course of 365 days a year there are always 5 to 6 days where something potentially devastating happens.  One such thing that wasn’t dangerous so much as it was technical was that I had a battery that was failing.  After so many starts through a hard winter it wasn’t holding a charge, and when temperatures dropped to under 30 degrees, I was having a hard time getting it started.  Well, one day toward the end of February I had barely managed to get the bike started at its destination for the return trip home and my fuel was extremely low.  I was worried that if I got gas on the way home, that I wouldn’t get the bike started again because it didn’t have enough amps to crank the engine over.  So I urged the bike to get as close to my home as possible.  With luck I’d get to the gas station that was about a quarter-mile from my home—but I had serious doubts.

The big bike did run out of gas about a half mile from that sought after fueling station so I put it in neutral to coast the rest of the distance.   My bike stopped rolling at the entrance to the gas station and I was able to push with my feet the motorcycle into the parking lot and up to the pump without too much extra trouble.  I filled up my tank, but as I suspected the bike wouldn’t crank over more than a couple of times, not enough to start in the cold weather.   The battery had not charged enough on the way home because I kept my RPMs down to save the gas.  So I was a quarter-mile away from home but couldn’t start my bike.  I didn’t want to call my wife because she was watching our grandchild for one of my daughters and I didn’t wish to bother her.   So I started pushing the motorcycle that weighs about 800 pounds up the busy roadway toward my home.

There is a slight hill that I had to go up and along the way twice two motorists stopped to help me.   Both men were summertime bikers and wanted to help a fellow motorcyclist.  They offered me a ride or gas without any pretension of inconvenience.  I asked them if they had jumper cables as my bike has a computer and cannot be kick started, or push-started in the usual way.  It has to be started off the battery.  Neither man had jumper cables with them so they wouldn’t be able to help.  The second guy who stopped was a die-hard Harley Rider with a long beard that hung down over his stomach.  He had a very nice warm truck that I could feel the heat coming out of as he spoke to me.  It was very tempting to get into his passenger’s seat and have him take me home.  Yet I didn’t want to leave my bike on the side of a busy road, even though my home was very nearby.  Instead I waved the help along and thanked them for their concern.  I decided to push my big bike the rest of the way home, which is what I proceeded to do in small intervals up the hill.  It took me an additional 45 minutes, but eventually I was in my driveway and safe in my garage where I could make the necessary repairs and get the bike ready for the next day’s travel.

The guys who stopped to help me were not told by government to assist.  They did it out of mutual respect.  Being bikers themselves, they wanted to help a fellow motorcyclist.  They didn’t know me from anybody else, they only saw that I was pushing my motorcycle up a hill and they wanted to help—because as both men said—“I’ve been there a time or two myself.”  But I did not accept their help because I did not want to abandon my motorcycle in favor of comfort.  So I struggled to push the bike up the hill in the freezing cold because if I hadn’t I would have wished later that I had toughed it out.  Both bikers looked at me a bit odd when I reported to them that I’d push the bike the rest of the way home, but neither found the information alien.

It never even occurred to me to call the police, or Triple AAA or any organization for help with my predicament.  I ride the motorcycle every day to solve problems like that from time to time.  People under their own volition wished to help me, and I didn’t need government to get home.  I picked as I always do, the most “self-reliant” option there was, and because I challenged the bike to get close to my house before running out of gas I gave myself the option of pushing it home if all systems failed—which they did.

In the absence of government Americans naturally want to help each other.  Charity comes from respect and occurs because people want to do good things.  The bikers who wanted to help me didn’t do it out of fear of being struck down by God if they drove on by, and they didn’t do it because they were paid by the tax payer to help stranded motorists.  They did it because they too were bikers and they respected another biker to the level that they wanted to help if they could out of their own free-will, no government involvement at all.  The same happens wherever government is not–even to this day.  The good is easy to see in people where government has not stepped in to be the un-necessary mediator of disputes—which I get to see a few times a year because of my tendency to ride motorcycles beyond the safety net of normal society.  All government systems could fail, as they do during emergencies, and people help each other without being told to out of sheer respect for their fellow human beings.  Such behavior is not driven from fearful submission to authority, or altruistic compassion, but out of a sincere desire to help a fellow-man in their plight to do their daily activities.  In the case of the bikers they are acting on self-interest ultimately.  They hope that I or somebody else will do the same if they get into trouble, so they offer up the help so the network is nonverbally maintained.

In life if all government was shut down, and all tax payer funded activities were removed, my journey home that day would have been the same.  The gas station would have still had gas when I needed it because it’s to their financial incentive to have what I need when I need it.  And those two guys would have still stopped.  But because of my tendency toward self-reliance I didn’t need their help, although it was appreciated.  As for the roads and my use of them, I paid an enormous amount of state tax at the pump when I bought my gas which more than paid for my use of the pavement that day.  I got my bike home and fixed without the intrusion of any government representative even in the form of a police officer.  That is a trend that will continue.  It is because of such realizations that I have less and less respect for those who vote in large government programs to provide a “safety net” for their lives.  I avoid such safety like a man on fire seeks water.  I stay as far away from them as possible, which is the primary reason I ride a motorcycle every single day of the year no matter what the weather.  It is good to know these kinds of things, and most of the time they can only be seen by doing what nobody else is willing to do.  It rests in my mind the argument that government could be greatly reduced and America would actually improve instead of decline, because the will to do good is still in people like the two guys who stopped to help me in a quarter-mile stretch of road.  Such good people are still out there, but we just don’t see them because government stands in the way of us discovering such facts about each other.  Government wishes to maintain the myth that they are needed, when in fact they are simply in the way.

And by the way, if the goof balls in The United Nations ever think they can get control of the people shown in the videos above, they are on “crack.”  Most of those people are just now becoming aware of the problems I write about here everyday.  And when they realize they have been scammed……………….they are going to be VERY, pissed off.
