The Cincinnati Tablet: A little known miracle from an ancient past alive and well at the Museum Center

If there is such a place as heaven for me it would be everlasting life in a place like the Cincinnati Museum Center reading a book next to their multiple exhibits.  It is well-known that I have a particular love of culture and obsess over how to implement successful societies based on mythology, recorded history, psychological necessity and how all that gets wrapped into a workable philosophy to achieve objectives.  I spend more time thinking about those kinds of things than anything else—and if I had no other responsibilities in the world I would be most happy putting on a pair of camouflage pants and a t-shirt and going to a different spot of that museum each day and reading from my books—all day–forever.  To be near history and the way those exhibits have been creatively assembled at the Museum Center is a marriage of all my favorite things.  I have a few favorite spots, one is near the T-Rex skull in the Museum of Natural History and Science, the other is the area near the Cincinnati Tablet in the Cincinnati History Museum.image

I have a particular obsession with the Cincinnati Tablet.  It is located in the wing of the History Museum just beyond the WWII area and just ahead of the Native American, Colonial wings on the right side of the hall.  There are complaints from history buffs that the Tablet is tucked away into a remote corner, but it’s quite out in the open and well-lit. The problem with the Tablet is that some believe that it belongs in the section of the Natural History Museum that deals with pre-Columbian society as the Tablet was found in a burial mound at the inception of Cincinnati at the exact spot where Fountain Square resides.  Few realize that when they visit the Fountain they are on the spot of an ancient burial ground that was there long before there was ever a single building erected in the Queen City.  Yet the Cincinnati Tablet is a bit of a mystery. Archaeologists would like to attribute it to the Adena or Hopewell Cultures dated around 500 B. C. to 100 A.D.  Yet it is more reflective of the kind of art found in the Mississippian Culture of 700 A.D. to 1600, just ahead of the arrival of the first European colonists.  But that doesn’t quite tell the whole story.image

The Cincinnati Tablet is nearly identical to a tablet found in Clinton County called the Wilmington Tablet.  Many have looked at these tablets and read into the numerical significance of the design.  They appear to have similar markings as that of Mayan and Aztec Cultures and point to a much more sophisticated pre history of Native American tribes than are normally associated with history.  Human beings like to believe that all life springs forward in a progressive manner meaning that each revolution around the sun that the earth makes, we get smarter and better.  So we often get caught looking back at history as if we were looking at a measuring stick of some kind—we’re here now, so back then we must have been—there.  That type of rationalization.  However, this is not the case.  Just as we are doing today in the modern age with all the tools of thought at our disposal, human kind is regressing.  To sit on the trolley car at the Cincinnati History Museum and listen to the recording of the conductor dropping passengers off at various points from pre 1951 it is increasingly obvious that the human intellect has fallen a long way in just those 50 years.  If such a declination of character continues to slide downward, it is easy to ascertain that human beings in another 200 years will easily be back to the types of hunters and gathering types associated with the Adena Indian.image

There are some extremely complex mathematics associated with the Mound Builders that defy what we know about the Adena and Hopewell people.  In the times of Christopher Columbus there were still some in Europe who believed that the earth was flat and that if one strayed too far to sea that they would fall over the edge.  But it was the Greeks who came up with the concept of a spherical earth dating back to the 6th century.  By the 3rd century B.C. Pythagoras had postulated that the earth was indeed round which was supported by Aristotle.  For proof as to what I said about human society regressing along a Vico Cycle (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW) look at the modern Greek people and their current collapsing economy.  They are only presently a 100 years from becoming simpletons equivalent to the Adena Indians—hunters and gathers struggling each day to feed themselves instead of an advanced culture contemplating whether or not the earth is round through mathematics.  The modern Greek people have nothing in common with their ancient ancestors of just 3000 years ago.  They have declined as a society, not advanced.  Yet, the Mound Builders from the same time period as Pythagoras understood that the earth was round otherwise they could not have predicted equinoxes and solstices or dates on a calendar.  How did they learn that the earth was round if they did not read Greek literature?  Or perhaps the Greeks were only verifying what mythology instructed them—based on ancient stories given to them during their days.image

Another mystery if trade with the Yucatan Peninsula is considered among the Mississippian Cultures of North America is the nearly simultaneous rise of cities like Cahokia outside of St. Louis and Chichen Itza in Mexico.  Their art and cultures appear to be extremely similar, yet nobody knows much about either because there is an assumption that nobody had the ability to travel such a distance to have legitimate trade ability.  We assume that these ancient people were still learning how to travel by canoe until Europeans came along and showed them how to build a boat.  But it is quite obvious if the facts are assembled, that there was great trade and interaction between groups of societies vastly separated, which is something that wasn’t supposed to be the case.  The evidence of all this interconnectivity was likely destroyed when the Spanish attacked the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan built in 1325 and destroyed in 1521.  Modern day Mexico City was built upon its ruins.  Tenochtitlan was built on a vast island with complicated canals intersecting the city.  In fact is was Bernal Diaz del Castillo who said, “When we saw so many cities and villages built in the water and other great towns on dry land we were amazed and said that it was like the enchantments (…) I don’t know how to describe it, seeing things as we did that had never been heard of or seen before, not even dreamed about.”  Sounds a lot to me like the lost city of Atlantis which Plato spoke about only the dates are separated by several thousand years.  The point of course is that what the Spanish encountered was an advanced culture, not a bunch of knuckle-draggers.  So the Spanish did what they always have done, they attacked the city, destroyed the people and imposed Catholic religion on the survivors calling the area New Spain.   By the time Santa Anna was fighting Sam Huston in the Republic of Texas just to the north, the New Spanish Empire was declining and the newly established “Mexican” was left conquered twice within a few centuries of each other by rival clans of European settlers.  The origin culture had been destroyed by the Spanish and all the archaeology erased to history in the name of religion.  As advanced as Tenochtitlan was it was around two hundred years newer than the ancient city of Teotihuacan located just 30 miles to the northwest.  That city has a pyramid on the scale of the Great Pyramid in Giza and by volume as large as the one outside St. Louis, the Monks Mound.  The dates on this epic city of sophistication and mathematics are 100 B.C. to 250 A.D., about the same time period as the Adena Indian over a thousand miles to the north across the Gulf of Mexico and up the Mississippi River, then up the Ohio.  The assumption was that these cultures didn’t communicate, but it looks as if they did—or at least knew of each other.image

As I look at the Cincinnati Tablet I can’t help but wonder if it’s not the remnants of an older culture that left the Ohio Valley well before the Adena Indian during what is called the Archaic Period.  I have covered before the obvious signs of a lost race of people who were large in stature.  The evidence of their lives is obvious in the unexcavated mound at Miamisburg, the burial grounds at Augusta Kentucky and the ancient city that has been buried under modern-day Lexington, Kentucky. CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.  The Adena and Hopewell Indians were similar in culture and intellect to the modern version of the inner city dweller compared to the suburbanite.  The ancient suburbanite doing as humans always do run from their political disputes for destinations uncharted leaving behind the more parasitic aspects of their societies.  In modern times most people living in suburbia are those running from the corrupt politics and high taxes of the large cities, and it looks as if this is what was happening in America well before Columbus found a map in Portugal convincing him that there was a way to circumnavigate the world.  Of course that map was made by the Chinese who had been doing that circumnavigation for centuries—and had been trading with the same people who settled the Ohio Valley who were thus trading with ancient Mesopotamia.  Again, all that assumed history was destroyed by two known events, the destruction of Tenochtitlan and the Library in Alexandria, Egypt, both by the same religion.image

I tend to think that the Cincinnati Tablet was specific to the person it was found under within the mound.  It may have been the tattoo pattern used to identify his people to his region, and when he died, they buried it with him.  The Wilmington Tablet is similar, and was probably specific to the ruler of that area, etc.  But the cultures associated with them are largely unknown, because the limits of science assume that mankind is always moving forward instead of following a Vico cycle of continuous birth and death—always starting over again as a civilization.  Just like inner city dwellers occupy the grand establishments of a creative past, the Adena likely occupied ceremonial sites associated with a culture that left south to form a world of their own without the restrictions of collective association.  I cannot help but wonder as I look at the Cincinnati Tablet if the origin of the Inca, the Maya and the Aztec were not in fact a combination people from Mesopotamia and China who merged in the Americas long before Christ was born and became ancient suburbanites moving constantly south until they ran out of room and were killed by a competing culture doing the same thing for the same reasons—leaving for opportunity elsewhere once civilization destroyed the luster of innovation and adventure in the individual.

I take such lessons into account when I have to build a culture, whether it’s raising a family or building a company.  People desire to be their own explorers and to find for themselves the roots of their desires.  They don’t like to share by nature when the itch of adventure is clawing at them.  But people are quite giving once they achieve their personal objectives.  And that is what the Cincinnati Tablet represents to me, a hint at a past long gone and a window into an issue that is still pressing the minds of mankind.  The Cincinnati Museum Center gave the tablet its own little spot in between two worlds, the known history of WWII and the roots of Cincinnati’s founding as a colonial hub after the Revolutionary War.  Because the Cincinnati Tablet is in and of itself not clearly defined by science, because much of the way to confirm them through logic has been purposely erased by future empire builders—and that is why I consider such places like the Museum Center heaven on earth.  There is truth there only hinted at, but it is more than what you can find anywhere else.  And all that history collides upon the Cincinnati Tablet.

Politics of the Old Union School: Understanding the inner workings of preserving history

Well of course Ronald Hicks, vice president for SHP Leading Design defended his efforts with Patti Alderson and my old friend Bob Hutsenpiller from No Lakota Levy to demolish the Old Union School with a brand new Boys and Girls Club of West Chester/Liberty with a $6.5 million dollar facility—by saying, “If any entity other than an education-based organization wanted to function in the structure, the occupancy of the building would change.  That in turn would require a change of use for the facility, which would trigger ‘substantial wholesale upgrading of the building to current code requirements in order to change the function.”  As I listened to Hicks speak about such invisible mountains of opposition I turned to lock eyes with the leaders of West Chester development—they were literally in the room and could easily handle such a change of use.  But the elephant in the room wasn’t really about such concerns—it was a simple deflection to hide the real mechanisms of power percolating within the Lakota school district.  The accusation that any other option was simply too hard for the old historic building was intended to mask the politics at play, CLICK HERE to read how the Journal News reported the issue.

The June 30th 2015th event was a who’s who of local politics as many of the heavy hitters from behind the scenes of most things political in Butler County were present.  As I spoke to Randy Oppenheimer telling him honestly that I thought he was doing a good job as the Lakota spokesman, even if he was on the wrong side of things, another old friend of mine Mark Sennet was standing behind me talking to Lakota treasurer Jenni Logan and Karen Mantia about how the area developers have always been for Lakota schools.  Mark was also in No Lakota Levy with me and on this issue was against the tearing down of the old school.  But his dialogue was interesting.  The next time there is a levy fight, I won’t be using the developers as a way to defeat the levy.  It was in fact their lack of passion and commitment to hold strong that caused the last levy to be successfully passed.  They were all too willing to side with Patti Alderson because she’s always good for potential projects down the road, such as this Boys and Girls Club deal.  They were able to argue higher taxes and the impact to further development, but did not have the conviction to hold their line in such public forums, which was clearly what Mark was revealing quite openly.

To continue an answer to Randy about why I have so many blog postings and say so many things within those postings, it’s really to provoke thought from those who need to think more intensely about any given topic.  For instance, there are elements to this Old Union School discussion that I can cover at this site that you simply won’t read in the Cincinnati Enquirer or the Journal News.  Both news outlets were present, but they are not given the kind of space in their newspapers to cover the complete story, only the surface issues.  In this case going back to the year before the Alderson/Lakota deal I was leading No Lakota Levy against the next tax increase attempt, we had a nice little press conference at Bob Hutsenpeller’s office within view of the Lakota East high school facility.  I had Channel 19 there as well as Channel 5, and 9.  I also had the Cincinnati Enquirer there giving Michael Clark an exclusive on a story where Patti Alderson refused to work with me on helping kids pay for their high sports fees at Lakota—which was an extortion racket designed to build support for a tax increase.  Since Patti refused to help the kids then by working with No Lakota Levy—because of the politics of the situation, she and the Lakota school board worked directly with Michael Clark to write a hit peace on me hoping to break up No Lakota Levy.  When it really pissed me off to the point of near violence they asked for a two-year cease-fire to regroup.  During that time they went to work on Bob pulling him into an open alliance with Patti on this Boys and Girls Club project.  Bob is a good builder, and a good person.  He was the last one standing at the end, and it was hard for him.  This deal is an opportunity to repair some relationships and get involved in building something significant within the community.  Patti get’s to do some charity work which she likes to do, and the Lakota school system gets to marry together a major part of the tax increase resistance to an open levy supporter facilitator to deflect future opposition.  Everyone wins—right?  Wrong.  They left out some missing pieces to the puzzle.

I was surprised that Michael Clark didn’t want to come over and say hello to me.  Even with all our back and forth bickering, Karen Mantia said hello to me.  What many don’t know, and what I explained to Randy a little bit is that I primarily make my living pissing people off.  I work with people who outright hate me all the time, and I know that.  My goal in all these efforts is to dig out thoughts, to get to the root cause of any effort.  I don’t have a desire to be liked by anyone other than my wife, by anybody.  That gives me a lot of freedom to provoke honesty in people and their relationships to money.  Sure I’m angry at Clark.  On the day he wrote his hit piece against me I was on several professional conference calls around the city while radio stations were reading on the air the way he assembled many articles from this site into a context that greatly favored the pro levy crowd.  He all by himself threw turbo fuel on an already blazing inferno and he and the Lakota school board went for my jugular clearly.  But that wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened in my life, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last.  So it surprised me that he didn’t even say hello.  When Karen asked where I’ve been, I told her I had been busy.  Lakota passed their levy and this Old Union School deal has been some of the most recent activity since the 2013 levy passage.  I’ve been focused on making an argument for a nationwide abandonment of public education all together, so haven’t cared much about the daily workings at Lakota—other than I don’t want to pay the taxes. But this Old Union School deal is something that affects all of West Chester, so I attended this meeting with interest, and I will get more involved in the future when Lakota tries for another levy. So Clark might as well get used to the fact that he’s going to have to see me around town.  No Lakota Levy did not die with the alliance of Bob and Patti, the ruckus of all that controversy was a recruiting tool for me to bring new blood to the fight—because the developers were wavering in their resistance.  That should have been obvious to all the smart people in the room.  So I wanted to thank Michael Clark for the hit piece—it showed the cards of all involved and helped me tremendously.  And at its roots, that is what is behind the Boys and Girls Club—and why I am against it, because of the cards involved that are hidden from the public.

I said in the Journal article that the school board did not solicit enough opportunities for the Old Union School project.  They simply took Patti’s offer bringing Bob with her and went right to work hiring Hicks to design as the architect.  He’s put in considerable effort so of course he’ll defend the project.  But the Old Union School sits in a region where a conscious effort to preserve the historic nature of West Chester is taking place.  Once Patti stamped her name on the deal most area developers knew to stay away, so there wasn’t much solicitation as far as options involving an auction of the property.  There are many buildings like the Old Union School in Norwood, Ohio for instance that have been converted to office buildings.  On the outside they have the architecture of Norwood’s traditions while on the inside they are contemporary.  Such an option would be a prime utilization for the Old Union School which is just down the road from Union Center and is just a football throw away from I-75 access.  Just across the highway are wonderful restaurants for lunch rushes, I would find it hard to believe that there are no takers out there for that type of development. I also brought it up in the meeting but there wasn’t much time to get into the meat of it, that due to declining enrollment, Lakota is facing the possibility of further school properties coming available.  My point to them was that Lakota didn’t need to control the Old Union School property as an asset, that they could afford to let it go to someone who would love it, and nurse it back to health.  An office complex there would make more money for the township, so zoning approval should be achievable.  The leaders of the community were there to answer that question, but Hicks didn’t really want to talk about it.  Hicks and his response were equivalent to a kid in the back seat of a car saying that he wanted to go to Disneyworld from Cincinnati, but he didn’t want to ride in a car the whole way.  It’s just too hard to ask for a change of use—in his eyes.  What he really meant was that he wanted to protect his time in the project and the commitment his client, Patti Alderson has in the endeavor now that it’s public.  It doesn’t have anything to do with hard or not.  It’s political purely and nothing more.

As usual Danielle Richardson did a good job of bringing debate to the table.   Without her this whole deal would have just been rubber stamped and packaged into the Lakota win column with great fanfare at the expense of the community.  She composed herself quite valiantly even though she is coming up on a July 8th variance hearing with West Chester trying to keep her pet chickens.  Chickens like the Old Union School is part of West Chester history and makes our community unique.  The people who judge top 10 communities around the country are the same type of people who typically support school levies, so their opinions are skewed toward progressivism.  Danielle has given me eggs from her chickens and they are quite good, better than the eggs you can get at the grocery—because her chickens are happy, and healthy, and proud West Chester residents.  So she has more than enough fights to deal with, and she composed herself well considering the implications.  She’s an Ayn Rand purist and doesn’t think she should have to get a variance from the “state” to keep her chickens—which she’s right.  But there are elements of West Chester politics who are breathing heavily down the necks of leadership to be one of those top 10 national communities.  They see “progress” as new buildings over old ones and measure their success by erasing history and writing their own.  Danielle is fighting for more than just chickens or the preservation of the Old Union School.  She is fighting to keep West Chester’s history a treasured memory—something all the powerful people in the room at the Lakota school board meeting need to take into account as they take steps forward that they can never again retract once committed.

It’s a complicated web of entanglements, but all politics is that way.  What matters is not whether or not people like you.  They can hate me from now until eternity.  What matters is that the right things happen, and sometimes people need to be challenged in order to do the right things.  I like the idea of an office complex going into the Old Union School preserving its history for the next century along a historic area of West Chester that needs to retain its old style charm amid booming development.  I also like the idea of stopping by Danielle’s house for fresh eggs they way I did when I was growing up and farmers handed out eggs like trick or treat candy in this region.  Then I like to go over and have lunch at Jags spending $300 on a nice big Oscar steak and a bottle of wine.  I like to have options and in regard to the Old Union School, because of Patti’s involvement, the best options for Lakota were ignored—and in the end that will cost them money in lost opportunity, and a place in preserving the history of an old school-house that is one of the last remnants of a disappearing past.

“Onward Christian Soldiers Marching as to War”: The communists are coming……….

Every now and then you get a haughty glance into the mind of the enemy.  I’m not like Glenn Beck and others from the conservative side of things who seek to emulate Jesus Christ and turn the other cheek when we are persecuted.  Quite the contrary—as I respect Christians as people of value who are the solidifying force behind family structure and social goodness, they don’t make very good warriors as their religion requires them to have forgiveness and to love their neighbors as themelseves.  That’s where they lose me.  That’s also why the Saul Alinsky methods work against them, because while they are being assaulted by a treacherous, collectivist oriented enemy, they are forgiving and surrendering moral ground to a clearly hostile force—and that’s not a good thing.  For a republic that was founded on a Christian premise, sometimes it is required to fight for what’s right instead of turning the other cheek.  Turning the other cheek empowers the enemy, which is not the way to preserve a life of traditional and moral aptitude.  That is essentially what empowered this slug, Mike Caldwell to comment on one of my articles seen below about the socialist city council woman from Seattle.  After his comment you can read my response, and then it will be understood where the assault against tradition is coming from, and how it can be countered.

Guess what Mike, there is a whole country of hillbilly types that live between the cities and they aren’t going to put up with your socialism. They are kind to you people so long as they have guns, ammunition, food, and the ability to go to church. If you take that away from them, they aren’t going to play very nice. But they probably didn’t teach you all that in school did they?

Glenn Beck has said many times, even going back to 2010 that he is tired of fighting.  For a time he became sick and wasn’t sure if he’d be able to continue doing what he does in the media.  I am encouraged by what he is doing at Mercury Studios and I think the Blaze Radio is the new standard of talk radio—its sports free and filled with good traditional dialogue.  It’s a true friend in the darkness.  But the enemy knows that Glenn Beck is tired and when good people who are morally outraged have had their sensibilities assaulted one time too many, they by default turn toward an all-seeing deity in hopes that there is a master plan in the chaos somewhere that makes all this treachery have some kind of meaning at some level.   I don’t feel that way.  I never tire of fighting.  I thrive on it, I often think of my favorite song from my church days where I was a church assistant almost every Sunday during service, “Onward Christian Soldiers Marching as to War.”  God in whatever form made me the way that I am for a reason, and I don’t turn the other cheek, I never have and I never will.  So that doesn’t bode well for the Mike Caldwell types—those who love socialism and want a society of collectivism to dominate the former freedoms of the conservative right.

I get the opportunity quite often to socialize in the cultured areas of Cincinnati, the Mt Adams areas, the downtown districts, the new Rookwood area around Norwood, and other places and I am constantly confounded by the small mindedness of people who are most comfortable in the concrete jungles of civilization and believe that all of society can be ruled from fountain side restaurant tables with a beverage of choice, a laptop, and a Smartphone.  There is a big world out beyond the limits of their understanding and they never seem very interested in understanding it.  The Washington D.C. Beltway is suffering every bit of this problem of being out-of-touch with that big world that exists between the big cities of America.   However, I was born and raised in those cracks and I continue to spend a lot of time still in those kinds of places.  I know very well what the smell of a morning mist in the mountains is like, or the cold muddy water of a cave against your belly feels like, because I’ve been in those places often, and they are a big part of my life.

I know the people well who live in those in between areas.  Some of them are Democrats, some are Republicans, but very few of them are very firmly committed to politics, because it’s something they don’t trust from the scam artists of the big cities.  Most people in America live in these in-between areas and they are like I said to the commenter, tolerant until they lose their freedoms.  So long as they have food and money, they are giving.  The minute they don’t have those things they’ll reach for the guns in their closets, or on a gun rack, and they’ll look for their basic necessities.  And that is what makes most Americans so different from people in the rest of the world who have been conquered many times over by tyrannical regimes and ominous overlords.  Communists in America really think that if they dominate the social life in America’s big cities that they can have similar results as the Bolsheviks did in Russia where essentially they took over a few big cities in that frozen land mass and the rest of the country had to follow.  The same happened in China where communists took over Beijing and the rest of the country followed.  In those regions the cities fed the outlying countryside and were the only means of cultural input.  If a farmer wanted to sell their crop, they had to deal with the cities—so they had to adopt the communism of those cities in order to do business of any kind.  It’s not like that in America.  America is a de-centralized culture by design, and that is a major problem for the communist.

Communists have taken their message to public schools; there is no question about that.  But kids tune them out for the most part doing only what they have to do to get by.  In the rural cultures between major cities, even in spite of the communist influence of the public schools, there isn’t much love for the socialist way of life if the basic needs of those rural dwellers aren’t met.   They are tolerant so long as they are getting their basics in life.  But if those basics are taken away, there will be trouble.  The fantasy of the laptop city communist running the lives of the Darke County religious conservative isn’t going to gain traction—and if those collectivists attempt to bring the suburbs under urban control, there will be violence—and lawlessness.  Because the thin line that holds together the sanity of American civilization is unconstrained freedom that comes with distance.  People are tolerant of other people so long as they aren’t thrown together and expected to adapt to a way of life they don’t agree with.

Since church service on Sunday mornings aren’t what hold my life together I’m quicker to look for the war words than many others might be.  I’m also not tired of fighting, but am actually looking forward to it.  I’m not going to look for it either, but my eye is on the horizon keen on the outline of the communists that I know are coming.  They have been amassing for several decades in American culture on college campuses and large cities, and they need the resources of the productive to sustain their perpetual needs for consumption—and they will try to infiltrate the lands between the cities.  But it will not go well for them because any political map will tell them the story.  Communists are an extreme minority and they are largely concentrated in the big cities.  If I wanted to, I could avoid a big city the rest of my life and never miss anything they have to offer.  I could live happily with a canoe, a gun and a good woman forever and never miss the culture or the bright lights of a big city.  But the communist can’t, eventually they run out of money and have to expand their disease to new territories.  And that is why we have the Second Amendment—and why they want to take it away.  Because they are coming and the Christian soldiers at that time will have no choice but to defend their way of life.  Turning the other cheek won’t make the communists go away—but a well-kept gun will.

The Greek Economic Collapse: Coming to America with EPA control droughts and refused mining permits to save fish

This is what happens when you attach yourself to the weakest links, whether its business or global markets—what is happening in Greece right now is the result.  Now don’t say you haven’t heard it before dear reader.  Don’t tell me you didn’t hear the show on WLW years ago with Darryl Parks that I put on this very site showing that the financial game was crumbling—that we are all effectively broke even if the bills haven’t quite caught up to us in the United States yet.  Because I’ve been giving the warnings for some time—socialism does not work, strong leadership is absolutely necessary for capitalist endeavors to succeed, and group consensus in either business or politics is worthless—because it weakens leadership instead of strengthening it.  But when all those warnings are ignored and an insistence on socialist/collectivist behavior is promoted—you get Greece.  The United States is not far behind.  Already most of the money paid in taxes goes exclusively to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid leaving money for nearly nothing else.  The United States is the only country on earth with opportunities for economic growth so lenders are still willing to provide low-interest loans, which are consumed daily.  But at some time very soon, that will dry up, interest rates will raise, and at that point billions become trillions and there will be no way out—just like what Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is facing now in Greece, either complete relief of the austerity measures—or Greece will have to leave the European Union.  In essence, Greece must be relieved of its financial burdens otherwise a major block of the Eurozone will be lost with Great Britain soon to follow.  The European Union like all unions is rooted in socialism and allows the bad to hide behind the good and the more bricks that fall out of that union—the fewer places there are for the bad to hide.  Bad in this case is economies too rooted in socialism to make themselves buoyant.

These are the types of people we were told in the United States we needed to be more like.  Obama lectured Americans about the moral veracity of Europe early in his presidency even as Cyprus was the first to visibly fail economically.  Behind that small island in the Mediterranean was of course Greece, which few wanted to acknowledge around the world as a real crisis.  They even had an election where the socialist Alexis Tsipras won power promising no austerity to the Greek people, so they could continue to live under the safety of socialism—the protection of other people’s money.  Now they have capital controls of 60 Euros per day.   There are lines at Greek banks for people to get small amounts of cash that is supposed to belong to them. But because there is no money, everyone has to sacrifice their monetary levity and take what is available.  Tsipras proposed that Greece have a July 5th referendum on how to deal with the financial crises making many very happy at the prospect of Greece defaulting on its debts.  Since 2009 higher taxes and steep government cuts in exchange for bailouts have caused austerity measures that have unemployment at more than 25% on average and 60% among its youth—guess how they vote in elections…………………socialism because they have no opportunity otherwise which was always part of the plan.

Meanwhile in the United States as the nation continues to borrow around $100,000 every second leaving a current public debt of over $18 trillion Obama’s EPA is standing in the way of any further capitalists endeavors—most alarmingly the Pebble Mine in southwestern Alaska.  The EPA with Obama has done everything it can to deny a mining permit because of the largest sockeye salmon run in the world which traverses the area.  The mine is thought to potentially produce $120 billion dollars in new gold, but in just the time it takes the average person to pay their house payment from month to month, all the potential wealth that mine could have created would have been spent on the national debt.  So it’s just a drop in the buckets, yet when even a drop would help, the Obama administration is more committed to the religion of global environmentalism. The dreadful cost of socialism has far-reaching impacts.  For instance the cause of the current California water shortage as explained by Shannon Grove, Republican assemblywoman in Kern County is the EPA that created regulations that is literally dumping water into the sea to save a three-inch fish which resides in the area.  The crisis is completely artificial because the environmentalists have used the EPA as a kind of inquisition where nonbelievers are tortured if they do not believe in the deity of Mother Earth.  But behind the green hate for capitalism are roots that extend into various communist groups that have infiltrated our government for the purpose of halting capitalist activity—all the while increasing spending so that the economy will topple.

Yet nobody has heard much about this California drought, other than they need rain.  It was a completely manufactured crises created by an intrusive EPA without proper priorities dedicated to human innovation.  Capitalism likes the little three-inch fish from California, and the salmon in Alaska—and if left to their own devices will find solutions to have both, the wealth and the food supply, but there is more at work, a hatred of capitalism driven by rooted communism that is using sympathy for earth’s creatures to sabotage the American economy.  The strategy will run dry sooner or later and when that happens America will be faced with the same options as Greece is now, regulated resources, lines to get gas, food, water and most of all—money.  Confiscated assets will be the new word of tomorrow as tax increases and high interest rates will soon follow.  All this will have been caused by excessively reckless spending and intentional sabotage of American assets and potential productive enterprise—all in the name of saving a few fish.

Look hard at Greece—I told you it was coming, and it’s on its way to America.  It will have been caused by progressives for reasons that extend well behind a veil of conservation—directly into the foundations of communism which this country has fought many wars to prevent.  Yet it’s in the United States in our schools, our government, and especially in our EPA.  And it’s crippling our economy one regulation at a time.  Greece didn’t have a choice; their economy was basically some ancient ruins and the sales of gyros to cruise ship tourists.  America’s economic collapse is self-imposed, but intended by the same strategy as the radical Alexis Tsipras—to default on the debt and force social changes under a reset clock.  Those behind the communist push want America at the same level as Greece and the other countries in the Eurozone who will also eventually fall under economic collapse as well.  The restrictions on the economy are strategic to advance progressive political objectives.  In the mean time, Americans will have to do something they are not used to, which they are just beginning to feel in California—restrictions to services to train them how to comply with central authority.  The economic collapses are self-imposed both in the European Union and in the United States and those with their foot on the brakes are those who want global power for the sake of control.  And that is something that nobody on the nightly news is willing to admit to anybody—especially since they have played their part in the debacle.  But I can tell you this—people like me will remember how all his happened and I will be there to remind people what occurred and who was really  at fault.  That I will promise.

Gay Sex is Gross: Why traditional Americans are on a tactically selected vacation

I actually feel bad for many out there who have been reading here, and have listened to talk radio for some time and understood the warnings, yet didn’t fully understand what was coming.  Progressives have a desire to “progress” from what we have traditionally been—which is the most economically powerful nation in the world that provides the most opportunity to the most diverse population anywhere—and to take the country to some centrally managed disaster they consider a utopia. Watching what’s happening to America presently is painful especially for those who love it.  But progressives were always about performing this kind of military attack against traditionalists.  They took advantage of our kindness, and the naiveté typical of American traditionalists.  They have sought openly to not only progress the country beyond them—but to destroy traditional America in the process.  It is now quite clear what Barack Obama meant when he said he planned to fundamentally transform America.  After the Supreme Court rulings during the last week of June 2015 it is obvious what that means to progressives—and traditional Americans don’t like it.
  Matt Clark was back from his honeymoon and spoke very clearly about the tragic Supreme Court decisions involving the sustaining of Obamacare and of gay marriage.  From WAAM radio in Ann Arbor, Michigan Matt had one of the better summations to date during his radio show and had a parade of very intelligent callers on to articulate their frustrations.

Speaking of vacations, if you are the type who is an innovator and a strong presence in whatever company you work for, you likely notice that whenever you take a vacation there is this vast parade of people who hide in your wake and try to assert their dominance while you’re gone.  The stronger you are, the more of these second-handers there are to fight over the power vacuum you leave behind.  It charges their ego like children to believe that they can steer the world as well as you have—even though they really can’t.  They can hold the steering wheel and guide things along opposed to doing everything from the leading edge—but it’s their fantasy and it lasts until you get back from wherever you’ve been.  It gets further infuriating when they declare themselves equal to the world, because what you do takes courage, insight, imagination, and a 24-hour, 7 days a week mental maintenance that they don’t commit themselves to, yet they want to be considered equal in the scheme of things—even though they don’t put nearly as much into success as you do.  I have often deliberately baited these types over the years into revealing their intentions at times I determine to minimize the damage they can do—knowing full what their behavior patterns will entail to use their destructive behavior in a way that is positive toward a strategic assessment.  In a lot of ways that is what’s happening on the national stage.  I know I’ve warned about it for years, Matt certainly has along with a handful of others—but at some point you have to make the decision to let the progressives choke on their own skanky bi-product.  They want to drive, they want the credit, but they don’t have the ability to sustain things so they progress themselves right over the side of a cliff threatening to take the rest of the nation with them.  But, guess what—I’m not following and neither will most of normal America.  To show the world what progressives are really about, we have to sometimes let them show their cards to a skeptical audience—which is what they are doing.  Meanwhile we clean our guns in our garages and wait to return from a brief recess.  Much of the damage currently witnessed can be repaired with good management.  But these progressive scumbags need to be exposed, which is what we are seeing.  Left alone they are painting the White House in colors of rainbows and unicorns while the rest of the world laughs, and it’s painful to watch, but it’s the only way to expose them of their true intentions.

My wife and I have been doing a lot of traveling lately and have been on the road extensively visiting family in remote locations.  At rest stops along the way I would joke to my wife in the wake of all this progressive treachery that soon there won’t even be men and women’s restrooms—that someday soon we will be able to go to the same restroom at the same time.  After all, with so many men who think they are women and women who think they’re men—complete with transvestites, gays, lesbians, pedophiles, child abusers, and other sexual deviants running around—what’s the point of even spending the extra money keeping the sexes separated with two bathrooms?  Everyone might as well assimilate into some slime of humanity since progressives want to remove all barriers of judgment. But we all know that won’t work, it’s just a facetious statement.  Normal Americans aren’t wired like that, and they won’t accept it.  You know how I know that dear reader—because of the box office from the progressive machine itself in Hollywood, which I watch very closely to take the temperature of the country.  When Disney puts out a romantic animation film like Frozen featuring two gay guys kissing and it makes a billion dollars at the box office, that’s when you can start worrying.  But I think we’re all safe from that kind of thing.  Not because Disney or some other studio wouldn’t want to try, but because movie goers would reject the premise—because they can’t identify.

The public schools are trying to wire our children into accepting gay behavior, as is every venue that government touches, particularly the entertainment industry.  But what they can’t do is make it appealing to want to stick a part of your body into someone’s butt.  That just doesn’t work and doesn’t have very positive biological implication in the realm of sex.  It doesn’t make for a very good romantic comedy when people are forced to watch it on their movie screens—because human beings aren’t wired that way by nature. Progressives desire to progressive beyond such limits—but they are really just making fools of themselves.  They are moving the needle a few percentage points today in the direction of their desire, but it won’t last.  Gay sex is gross to most people and that won’t change through the aggressive progressive marketing that we are seeing.  The harder they push their agenda, the more that Americans will cry out for traditionalists to come back from their vacations and resume control, which is why it’s important to let all this nonsense play out.  If we always fix things for the progressives then they can pretend they are equal to the rest of us.  Sometimes it’s good to take a vacation and just let things play out so their behavior can be exposed for what it really is.  I know I’ve been warning people what would happen if progressives were not properly identified as the communists they truly are.  But nobody wanted to listen because they were fat, dumb and happy.  The money was rolling in, the jobs were plentiful, and our sports teams were keeping us entertained.  It was at that point that people like me just dropped everything and went on vacation.  You have to let the progressives show what they want to give the world so the world can finally dismiss them as irrelevant.

But that doesn’t take away the pain of seeing something you care about being dismantled and abused which is what is happening in America right now.  It does hurt to watch, but people need to see this now so they can vote properly for the next president in 2016.  They need to want the traditionalists to come back from their vacations of gun cleaning and Bible thumping and return America to normal.  But before that can happen the progressives need to have complete ownership of the failure—which is what we are seeing at this very moment.  Progressives might consider it a victory lap, but that won’t last very long because failure is a lonely road and so long as the traditionalist refuse to share that failure with them, there’s nowhere else to go but to say—“I told you so.”  We all did.  Traditionalists aren’t conquered or on the run, they are just on a tactically selected vacation—and they will return.

A Rainbow Colored White House: Once a nation of leaders–now overrun by second-handers

The White House putting rainbow-colored lights on it during the June 26th Supreme Court ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, or the previous day’s debacle of further sustaining Obamacare by that same court is evidence that the management of the nation is focused on all the wrong things in order to make the world “equal.”  The world will never be equal—because there will always be one thing that will be ignored in that pursuit of equality—and it’s not black or white, rich or poor, or gay and straight issues—it is that the hard-working will always be plucked by the parasites of laziness.  The unimaginative will always wait for those who think to provide direction.  Leaders will always have followers, and those followers will always flock behind the brave.  We call these followers’ second-handers and in the collectivist culture of the present White House they perform in all the classic ways of a typical follower, but they are allowed to believe that they can take equal credit for any successes that might occur.  For the multitudes of second-handers this is good news for them—it makes them feel good, like they are part of problem solving the world.  But they’re not.  As always, and as it will always be, only a few do most of the work and take the responsibility of leadership as the others follow behind.  Those who work hardest in our society will always be discriminated against by the second-handers.  Second-handers are those who live through others—thus their designation.  A leader will survive and flourish with or without a second-hander, but a second-hander cannot survive without a leader.  That is the biggest difference and is the specific reason that capitalist cultures thrive whereas socialist cultures fail.

One of the great challenges of capitalism is in the nature of their corporations, which by their very design are socialist entities, or even raw dictatorships.   The bigger they are, the more they resemble socialist enterprises.  In these companies a ruling elite create a kind of flowchart leadership culture that have a mixture of second-handers and leaders who are all told that they are equal or in subservience to those above them, and they are forced to behave within that framework in order to get a pay check.  This greatly limits the potential of the company because it allows second-handers to rise to the top by default through protection of an organizational chart.  Washington D.C. is filled with these types of second-handers—people who think they are valuable assets to some government enterprise they have worked within for years.  Their merit is not judged by their performances, but by their years of service.  Leaders often become discouraged and either sit on their talents in frustration, or they leave not able or willing to take orders from a second-hander.

Of course second-handers are in the majority throughout the world, and these socialist systems were designed by them to hide their natural timidity.  The primary reason all government departments and most large companies fail to innovate properly or remain competitive in global marketplaces is because the leaders within their organizations stop producing because they do not desire to share their efforts with the second-hander.  Once the leaders stop leading, the second-handers flounder about directionless leaving as their only defense stacks of bureaucracy to buy time until some leader comes along to save them from their own lack of action.  That is in essence what is behind most bureaucratic efforts—a lack of courage trying to hide the nature of the second-hander that designed it for their own protection.

Companies that thrive most are built by leaders.  Those who survive longest find the leaders among their ranks and put them in charge—clearly forcing the second-handers to be driven toward objectives—and success is to be found in such a fashion.  But when leaders are told to provide their benefits to others without merit, and that those others are equal to them, the leaders will just do something else and leave the second-handers to their own devices.  It’s an unnatural relationship that is most exemplified by the current White House.  With their display of the rainbow colors, they have shown the world that they have no idea what makes a country great and the lights are embarrassing.  In this case they are putting an emphasis on gay rights but ignoring the rights of those who work the hardest—and that is a big mistake.

 For instance, Tim Cook is a gay man and is the current CEO of Apple.  Apple as a company is trading at a rate equivalent to a market capitalization of about $1.26 trillion.  When Steve Jobs died, Apple took the best of their leaders and promoted him into the CEO of Apple which was a position personally mentored to Cook by Jobs even as he died.  Cook’s success has nothing to do with him being gay, but that he was competent.  However, without Steve Jobs, Cook would undoubtedly fail, just as it is presently on its decline as a company.  Jobs built the foundation for Apple leaving a CEO like Cook to follow the formula of success, which is why the company continues to have value.  But the innovation that made Apple great today was created yesterday by Jobs, not Cook.  Without another Steve Jobs, Tim Cook will eventually fail and Apple will slide into the depths of mediocrity.  Therefore Tim Cook is a second-hander to Steve Jobs.  Tim Cook could not have created Apple from scratch the way Steve Jobs did.  And without Steve Jobs, the company will collapse on itself as more and more executives take on the tendencies of a second-hander because that’s who is currently in charge.   A failure to understand those relationships leads to eventual destruction 100% of the time.

Colleges are in the business of producing second-handers, not leaders.  That is the reason the leaders of two of the most prominent companies in the world had their leaders both as college drop-outs—Bill Gates from Microsoft, and Steve Jobs from Apple.  Microsoft after Gates retirement as head of the company has held their ground, but their continuous innovation that was seen under their former leader has ground to a stop and their decline is evident.  Apple is not far behind—again because when second-handers are in charge they fail to uphold the ethics of a strong, imaginative leader.  Whether the leader is Lee Iacocca from Chrysler, or Jack Welsh from GE, second-handers study, and study, and attempt to mimic the actions of great leaders, but they always fail.  At best they prevent the decline of an organization with a slow slide into oblivion, but they can never advance it.  For instance, there were many great minds in Europe during World War II.  However, if not for General Patton, would Hitler have been defeated?  No.  It took one unusual general to lead millions of second-handers to victory over a tyrant.  Without that leader Hitler would have won World War II.  A failure to identify the leaders is one of the most detrimental aspects of any culture, and it is terribly embarrassing that the White House in Washington D.C. has displayed their vast ignorance to such a level.

America used to be looked at as a global leader, but with the proclamation that equal rights for second-handers is the primary motivation, instinctively the world knows that America is no longer a Patton of global trade, a Steve Jobs of innovation, or a George Lucas of imagination.  It is a country waiting for somebody else to do something, and while everyone waits they pass silly laws about equality without paying homage to those most important to success—their leaders.  When second-handers are promoted over great leaders the decline of the culture is dreadfully present.  Therefore, equality is never possible.  The vast majority of second-handers might be allowed to feel good about themselves at the expense of their cultural leaders, but when those leaders throw up their arms in frustration and walk away—the second handers have nothing to do but put rainbow lights on the White House and somehow declare it a victory.  Meanwhile the world is laughing at the grotesque priorities of a nation that used to create leaders—who is now more concerned with appeasement as all second-handers do.

Clipping the Wings of Children: Public re-education centers open for business in your neighborhood

 

Even to this very day there has been great fear among conspiracy circles about the re-education camps that would spring up around the United States under United Nations control. Even Glenn Beck fell under the spell of that fear with his novels, Agenda 21. Essentially the strategy would be that local bureaucrats trained directly through local seminars into United Nations priorities passed down through Chamber of Commerce networks would gradually shut down private property taxing it beyond the reach of average homeowners.  People would then be relocated onto government property using Sweden style public house to implement communities managed by the state.  Those who resist would be put into a train and shipped off to re-education centers, similar to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany to either get with the “program” or to be killed.  That is in essence what the conspiracy theorists have been concerned about.  Yet reality is something else, the menace is not so literal.  The bad guys don’t fit so neatly on a silver screen plot line—in a lot of ways, they are friendly faces from neighbors and community leaders who appear to do all the right things. But they are just as sinister nonetheless—perhaps worse because they behave in ways that we are taught not to identify as bad so we don’t see the behavior ahead of time.

For anyone who has ever had a pet bird, such as a parakeet they know that one of the things that must happen is that the wings of the birds need to be clipped so that if they get out of the cage, they won’t be able to fly too far.  This always seemed bad to me.  When I have had parakeets in my family I’d often get the birds out of their cages and let them fly around the house freely keeping a close eye on the door so they wouldn’t fly out and get away.  But I didn’t like clipping their wings—it seems immoral to do such a thing to a bird.   Yet its common practice at a pet store to deliver the birds with their wings clipped so that the buyer doesn’t have to worry about the little birds flying away.  For human beings our wings are of course our minds.  We fly not with wings, but with our thoughts and imaginations.  That is the strength of the human being—the products of their minds.

In truth the re-education centers are already in place.  We fund them with our tax dollars and we spend a lifetime of savings sending our children to their classrooms.  Our public schools and colleges are those re-education centers that the conspiracy theorists have been warning about.  Their primary function in these schools is to reprogram our youth into compliant citizens focused on progressive causes.  In essence, to clip the wings of thought to keep their minds captive towards a cage of social justice as defined by progressives so that once grown, those students will be unable to fly away, but will stay in their cages for safety and reliability of food.  The programming starts young and once the mind accepts the limitations imposed by the public schools and colleges, they will be adults forever after unable to fly away too far from the cages placed around them by progressive institutions.

The warnings have come from people like David Horowitz for many years.  Many others followed—but the majority of the public wished to deny that this re-programming was occurring.  I determined when I was going though the public school system that it was occurring and I resisted vigorously.  If a teacher told me something was blue, I questioned it every single time—or I blew them off as know-nothings and obtained the information on my own.  I was a naturally rebellious kid so that kind of defiance was easy for me.  The angrier the authority figures were toward me, the more encouraged I was to indulge in the activity.  Some people thrive in environments of conflict.  Some people avoid conflict at all costs.  Those unfortunately are the ones most impacted by this re-programming.  In college I was sure that the primary focus of the institution was not in preparing students for a successful life in the style of American capitalism—it was to be in service toward a push for socialism on a mass scale.  The entire focus of the institution seemed to be in teaching Keynesian economics and Marx philosophy.  In essence, if birds were meant to fly and the most moral thing to do with a bird is to let it grow wings to fly as high and far as it could achieve in life, the intention of the education institutions were to clip the wings of those birds so that they would stay in the cages of life built by the politics of the day to make reliable taxpayers and well-managed creatures located in close proximity to the management tasked with feeding them.  By clipping wings, the education institutions could ensure that every bird would be equally handicapped to live under progressive management.  Even as an adult going into the Lakota levy fights of 2010 I still gave some benefit to the doubt cast by Horowitz over the years and had an open mind.  Once I dug into the actual intentions of my local school system and contemplated the illogical diatribes they used to counter my assertions against them, it was clear what their primary focus was.

For me the straw that broke the back was when the school sought ways to cover up the story of a child molester in a third grade class—for the benefit of the institution at the expense of the individual lives of the students.  About a year later after a third levy defeat the school dug in its heels to begin cutting programs to the students in spite of what the voters had declared.  It was obvious that the intention of the school hell or high water was to impose a tax increase on the community and they would withhold service until they obtained what they wanted.  They were playing an extortion game and using the children of my community to pull it off—which made me very, very angry, and changed my thoughts about public education forever.  As I discovered in my research, all public schools were performing in essentially the same fashion, so it’s a nationalized effort coming directly from the Department of Education aligned with the progressive intentions of the national labor unions.  The goal was to clip the wings of students so that they could be held hostage from parents who had placed all their trust into the schools leaving them with no other recourse but to go along to get along.  It’s an abusive relationship designed to pave the way to extortion, which is not what education is supposed to be about.  Parents want to believe that the education their children are getting are giving their children wings to fly with, but what they are really getting are wings clipped so that nobody can ever fly away—imprisoning them to the management desires of progressives within the United Nations.  That is not a conspiracy theory—it’s a cold, hard, fact.

Most people don’t want to believe this hard truth, and I can understand it.  It feels better to look at a parakeet in a cage and believe that we are saving it from the harsh world outside of their cage—that we as the owners are clipping the wings of the little creature for its own good.  But in reality, we are denying it of its God-given right to live freely, and have destroyed its essence in the process.  I am personally a person who supports zoos, aquariums, and theme parks like Sea World.  But the same people who are advocating against Sea World’s use of killer whales are the same who most support progressive public education and the deliberate clipping of the intellectual wings of the youth—because at the heart of the United Nations efforts at all these issues—public education, conservation, civil rights, etc., is an almost god-like worship of nature.  They care more for the earth than in human beings and would like to take humans back into a primitive state living in accordance with early nomadic people—to preserve the earth.  Capitalism is a celebration of mankind’s mind.  Socialism is a focus on the collective not only of human beings, but of all things on earth—and that is the intent of our education systems—to hold the minds of mankind within the cages of progressivism, not to protect them from the world, but to protect the world from humans.

If there is any doubt as to what I am saying—which I have said extensively over the years—watch the videos on this article, then do your own research.  At that time you’ll discover that you and your children are just clipped winged avian nuisances that progressive intuitions want to stuff into a cage so they can worship their deities at the sacrifice of capitalism.    That is what your children are learning in school and the path in life they are being imprisoned to follow.

Progressives Playing Capture the Flag: Defending Confederate defiance

If I lived back in the days of slavery in America I would have no doubt been on the abolitionist side of the argument.  The Lincoln Republicans against the Jefferson Davis Democrats was essentially the battle lines and I have nothing at all in common with Jefferson Davis—not even remotely.  Yet the same progressive tripe who has attempted to associate Republicans with slave ownership and declines to tell black America that Martin Luther King was a Republican—as was Frederick Douglas are now trying to capitalize on the vile hatred of one silly boy from North Carolina into all-out hatred against the Confederate Flag.  This is essentially what progressives do—they insist to “progress” beyond tradition and to advance forked tongued debate into redefining the meanings of things to suit their political agenda.

When traveling through the south I enjoy seeing the Confederate Flag.  It represents to me nothing of slavery—even if that was the historical significance.  It represents to me defiance and a warning that if the Federal government over steps its authority, that half the country is willing and able to stand up against it in rebellion.  There is modern slavery going on to this very day right out in the open which I would argue is every bit as bad as the plantation slavery that is the focus of so many progressives, and I don’t want a government that supports that activity ruling over me.  If they come to my street to impose the NDAA Act for some tactical imposition conjured up within the ranks of progressive lunacy—I will fly my own flag against the country.  You can bet on it.  I have no respect for the authority of President Obama, not because he’s a half-black socialist from the terrorist minds of the Weather Underground put in place to dismantle my country with a Francis Piven strategy of economic collapse—but because he’s an idiot.  I have far less in common with the crime family of the Clintons and I will stand against them even harder.  Again, it has nothing to do with Hillary being a woman—it’s because her husband is a sex addict and a con artist, and she is a power addicted former hippie who would further like to dismantle the United States and place it under the authority of the United Nations—and they’ll happily destroy anybody who gets in their way.  So when those types of people say “not” to do something—I tend to want to do it.  And to me the Confederate Flag is a reminder that people will come together and stand up to tyranny even if what they are defending is historically wrong.  The South to this very day resists labor union ownership of their manufacturing plants and is an economic force in its own right—which is unquestionably what is behind the push to remove the Confederate Flag from public viewing—all over the antics of one stupid kid stoked to hatred by the same Obama White House who wants the flag removed.

If black America has a right to not be afraid from the sight of the Confederate Flag then “White America” has a right to not hear rap songs about beating white women and killing “crackers,” emerging from the car speakers of teenagers.  It also has the right to not see packs of blacks walking down our shopping malls with their pants pulled down under their butt cheeks and behaving like a pack of wild animals ready to pounce on anyone who uses the “N” word while at the same time they use it incessantly—even in their music, that in and of itself is racist.  When a race of people can use a word and the other race of people can’t—that is the same kind of hatred that the Confederate Flag supposedly represents—segregation and rule through fear.  Yet we’re supposed to buy into the notion that the Confederate Flag represents hate—yet Jay Z is a friend of the current president and is treated within the entertainment culture as royalty for essentially preaching hate on a mass scale within the music industry.

The radicals are getting their way, governments and corporations are reacting to the South Carolina Church shooting by appeasing the mob and removing the Confederate Flag from everything—including toys of the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard.  That is where the line gets crossed and this whole situation simply becomes ridiculous.  I have written about this before in quite a lot of detail.  Click here to review.  So I’ll make a prediction as a result of all this activity—that the state house in South Carolina might remove the Confederate Flag, and so will stores like Wal-Mart because they are already under attack by the Department of Labor for their anti-union positions and have no choice in the matter.  But these progressives are going to get far more than they bargained for.  They are going to force the Confederate Flag underground where it will do a lot more damage and make many more people like that stupid kid Dylan Roof.  The Confederate Flag may represent slavery in a historical perspective, but it represents rebellion to entire generations weary of an overreaching government.  And that will become the meaning of the flag as it gets pushed underground.  It will become the new “N” word in the South—more so than it is currently—and only whites will be able to use it.  Mark my words—the fires stoked by progressivism will have a reversed result from their initial intention of moving American society into a unifying progressive vision of the world.  Instead they will have created a dug in group of rebels quite tightly united behind the old Rebel Flag of the South.

If you want to hear hate speech just listen to an average rap album from just about any musical artist of the modern-day and you’ll hear why people were initially afraid of blacks in the first place—why there were fears of them integrating into our “white” culture.  Of course progressives have destroyed the image of the type of blacks who were distinctly Republicans, like Frederick Douglas and instead empowered the worst of their lot to advance the progressive cause of much misery and inner city violence. Progressives don’t teach the mantra of Republican blacks like Martin Luther King—it’s the drug induced types like Snoop Dog and his associates of hate provocateurs within the world of rap who they proclaim are kings of inner city art.  And the old timers who were so afraid of those same blacks are whispering “I told you so” from across the folds of time.  Rebel flags will fly in the basements of those families for many generations and there will be more hatred bred as a result—more mistrust evoked and the situation will become much, much worse.

Rush Limbaugh was correct when he said that the push against the Confederate Flag was about more than just racism.  This argument has sat on the back burner waiting for someone like a Dylan Roof for decades.  The moment they had their straw man, progressives launched their attack and the corporate world had to submit out of that ancient guilt of racism that all whites are supposed to feel—because progressives told them to feel it.  Well, I don’t feel any guilt—not one ounce of it.  Because I know history quite acutely, and I know which party freed the slaves and who stood for a proper black society—and they weren’t people like P Daddy.  We are under attack from progressives in every sector of America and they are playing a game of “capture the flag” within our culture.  And to them bringing down the Confederate Flag has nothing to do with racism, it has everything to do with capturing the South and bringing them into the fold of a progressive utopia they are trying to design for us all.  But I want nothing of their design, and I know I’m not alone.  The Rebel Flag will gain in strength, not diminish—especially when it becomes even more taboo than it currently is.  And the ramifications of that behavior will be the exclusive fault of the modern progressives.  They are the cause of much misery in the world, and they have just thrown fuel on a fire that was already roaring.

“Kill Back First”: Larry Nichols and the American Clinton mafia

Some might say that Larry Nichols had an axe to grind with the Clintons, which is why he betrayed them with whistleblower information—like that he killed people on their behalf, that Chelsea Clinton is not Bill’s daughter, and that the Clintons ran drugs while governor of Arkansas and raped young girls brutally beating them to keep them quit.  Yes this is the same Hillary and Bill who are currently running for president of the United States—unbelievably—and they are terribly bad people.  If I were a normal person, I might not believe Larry Nichols either—as his story sounds too outrageous compared to the nice old lady on television who says she’s fighting for women’s rights and the poor.  But I do believe Larry Nichols because I have a past with people just like him.  I have known people who kill for money, and I understand their need to come clean once they’ve had their fill of Vegas whores and drugs.  The mainstream media is not ready for such information, but—on the Alex Jones Show, the venue is appropriate.  What Larry Nichols says here I believe is the truth revealed by a man who wishes now he could take it all back.  And the only place who will talk to Larry is conspiracy sources like Alex Jones.  You don’t hear much about Nichols on outlets like Fox or CNN, because it’s just too much to deal with.  Even Fox wants to believe that Clinton is a viable candidate—they’ve been promoting Hillary since 2013 for a 2016 run.  They have too much invested at this point for Nichols to erase the story with all this damning information.

Essentially what we have with the Clintons and to a lesser extent Obama is a modern form of Chicago style organized crime very similar to Al Capone’s network during the Prohibition period.   The media are completely in the bag for Hillary one because ideologically, they all believe in the same levels of socialism taught in the primary colleges during the 60s, 70s and 80s.  For more information read my article on The Naked Communist and the accompanying radio broadcast I did with Matt Clark on WAAM radio in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  That at least explains how Hillary has managed to get away with many of the crimes—too many people at high levels believe in the communist mantra “the ends justify the means.”  But we’re dealing with more than a socialist push in American politics to make the old hippies happy who are now in charge of everything as heads of government divisions, corporations, and political leaders like the Clintons—we are seeing a pattern where a mafia was built around Little Rock Arkansas which was then extended to the nation as a whole during their presidency.  After their White House stay the Clintons focused on a global mafia through their Clinton Foundation which is what the current problems are all about from that supposed charity.

These are unfathomably bad, evil people—and their defenders are worse, but at least share in common with Larry Nichols an attraction to power and a love of the money that flows from it.  The Clintons essentially destroyed the concept of an American president during the 90s.  There was a terrorist attack at the start of George Bush’s term which caused him to over-react and spend America into oblivion—as planned when the attack was planned by many minds, not just Osama bin Laden.  (Ever wonder why Osama was killed and buried at sea without a single photograph taken and released to the American people to prove that a murderer had been captured and killed—strange)  Then there was Obama, a mixed race kid raised in Indonesia who is fundamentally anti-American whose mission at the beginning of his term was to “fundamentally transform America” using the classic Cloward and Piven strategy of economic collapse followed by a socialist management of resources from centralized control.  It’s the Greek model and it’s coming to America thanks to Barack Obama and his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  America is under a military style attack as we speak and the Clintons have been for years the field generals working from the White House implementing a strategy they hatched years ago to undo the United States into a socialist utopia.  And they used people like Larry Nichols to be their “heavies.”

In a socialist society this is what you get—there are enforcers who must do the nasty work of showing individuals who’s in charge and what happens to people if they step out.  This behavior has been taught in our government schools to us for decades—so we unconsciously accept the behavior without question.  For instance, let’s take the child actor Jake Lloyd who played Anakin Skywalker in the popular Star Wars film The Phantom Menace.  He was recently arrested in Charleston, South Carolina during a high-speed chase with police as he had clearly fallen off the rocker.  But where did it start?  After the success of his Star Wars role, the little 10-year-old found integration into society impossible as the kids in his school teased him about his fame to no end, essentially driving the kid crazy to the point of trying to change his name.  In a classroom environment where socialism is being taught, Excepetionalism is ridiculed to keep everyone in the muddy middle, which is why the kids were encouraged to castigate young Jake so profusely.  Jake had opportunities the other kids didn’t have, so he was singled out and ridiculed to change his behavior into a focus on the collective.  Essentially this is precisely what Hillary and Obama do from the White House and it was people like Larry Nichols who did the pushing and shoving to bring those who strayed out of the flock back into the fold through any means possible.

Now it should be clear what kind of game is going on, and it’s not what anybody thought who doesn’t follow history or take the time to understand the players of modern politics.  There is safety in the herd and entirely too many people are happy to stay in a group conglomeration just so they can live their lives without always looking over their back.  Hit men are kind of the top of the food chain, even relative to corrupt politicians like the Clintons.  Hillary can extort money from corporations through the Clinton Foundation to hire hit men like Nichols to kill a rival or a lone wolf who is a threat, but they don’t have the fortitude to do such work themselves.  So they are always dependent on people like Nichols, and the primary reason he’s still alive after saying all these things about the Clintons his because of his former Green Beret training.  There is a term used in such Special Forces for just such an occasion and that is to “kill back first.”  Once word gets around that the target of a hit is a “kill back,” there is great reluctance to carry out the task.  Most hits are untrained, over weight slugs in suits.  They don’t know what to do when thrown into a situation of survival.  The “targets” immediate instinct often shaped during public school is to retreat and appease back into the herd.  That makes easy killing for a hit man like Nichols used to be.  But when a hit is called out against Nichols, it’s not so easy—because he won’t retreat like that, making the hit much more difficult.  Dying often isn’t worth the money, so the hits are minimized greatly as pin-headed politicians attempt to delegitimize such people through social pressure—since other hit men are reluctant to take on a “kill back” case.

As outrageous as this might sound to the soccer mom meeting her friends at Chipotle to giggle about Hillary’s run for President, or the old hippie still listening to vinyl recordings of John Lennon’s “Back in the U.S.S.R,” the facts of the matter are in Larry Nichols statements.  The politics we see on television is not the politics we are paying for, and at the heart of the matter, Hillary should not be running for President, she should be in jail for murdering Chris Stevens on behalf of her boss, Barack Obama to cover up the weapons deals that were going on in Libya at the time.  After all, it’s not so easy to shut up people the way one might delete all the emails on their personal computer servers to erase incriminating evidence.  Unlike emails, people have feelings, relationships and their own motivations.  And for the kind of mafia that Hillary is at the center of—the only way to continue obtaining power and manipulating the public safely back into the herd is through hit men like Larry Nichols.  That’s why everyone in America should listen to him—because he knows where the bodies are buried.  Let him show the world—so that the organized crime at the heart of the American government can be dismantled once and for all.  And for those who worry about having a hit put out on you remember the term, “kill back first.”  And perform the task in such an unfortunate situation for the betterment of our nation.

Why Pope Francis is an Idiot: God loves guns and their manufacturers

This is exactly why I am weary of organized religions.  It’s not because they espouse values and kindness toward other people—it’s because they wish to be just like the governments of the world, yet another force that controls the minds of mankind.  Enter the idiocy of Pope Francis and his recent proclamations in favor of progressive political platforms directly against capitalist forms of government—specifically the United States.  It must not be forgotten that the Roman Catholic Church is all that remains of the former Roman Empire, and in the wake of that ominous force in Europe under the banner of the cross, many deaths occurred and the Dark Ages were created.  So no, I don’t think religion by default is a wonderful thing.  Rather it holds back society into the limitations of the past within the framework of sacrifice—which is archaic and foolishly rooted in scientific ignorance.  It is within such a tapestry of ordainment that the Pope made the proclamation that gun manufacturers—especially those in the United States—were hypocrites if they call themselves Christian.  It is that kind of stupidity and radical detachment from reality that has led churches in general to declining memberships.  To put a foolish focus on the afterlife rather than the here and now is the mainstay of religion implying that one life defended with a gun has less value than the collective whole of civilization and that we should all be willing to sacrifice ourselves to the “greater good.”  That is why I no longer attend church—because of those kinds of teachings.  It’s not just the Catholic religion which I have roots in—it’s the entire industry of sacrifice that I have a problem with.

The Pope backed up his attack on weapons manufacturers by saying, “if you trust only men you have lost.  It makes me think of…people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons.  That leads to a bit of distrust, doesn’t it?” That was followed by thunderous applause by thousands of ignorant young people raised under socialism in the economically bankrupt Italian city of Turin.  In essence the Pope was saying that weapon manufacture is anti-Christian.  He is implying that we should all turn our minds toward a God—which he is the representative on earth—and give up our needs for aggression by eliminating weapons of war from society.  The Catholic Church, just like every communist and socialist government around the world wants to be in the business of ruling our lives and the product of their endeavors is a flock of sheep that mindlessly puts their faith in a religion that can’t keep their hands out of the pants of little boys.  Take away the ability to defend ourselves and what kind of evils might swell from such trust?  Well, history tells us quite a lot on the matter—which was one of the reasons for the creation of the United States in the first place—freedom from religious persecution.  People had the right for the first time to worship what they wanted decentralizing the authority of churches into spiritual advisors instead of just another competing government.

Frances attempting to place his radical words of worthlessness into a world stage filled with like-minded thugs and social parasites declared during his speech—“duplicity is the currency of today—they say one thing and do another,” referring to people in his congregation asking for forgiveness during confession who then turn around and commit the same sins the moment they leave the confessional. That is because most human beings don’t give much thought to the church or the “men” who run them as self-proclaimed representatives functioning on earth on behalf of an all-seeing deity.  I know a bit about history and in America when the church becomes so bold as to come to my house to take what I have to give it to the so-called poor under church authority—there is ammunition on my shelf intended to stop that action from occurring.  I know better than the church what leads to the “poor.”  I don’t trust the Pope or his clergy of pedophiles and social collectivists to define it for me.  God has not come to my home and told me that Pope Francis is his representative on earth. Men have made that self-designation—and if you really get to the heart of what the Pope is saying it is that the world should trust the church and give up their guns in surrender to the global unifying force of the Christian religion.  Sorry, but no.

Years ago I had to make the hard decision of using rational thought to determine that the religion I grew up with was lacking something important—logic in their assertions.  I was at a communion ceremony at the front of the church watching all the people coming to the front to worship.  I used to be an assistant to the minister and would hand bread to the people in the congregation who waited for their sacrament.  As I held the plate of bread thinking about what it really meant I realized that the body of Christ sacrament was essentially just a watered down version of human sacrifice as it had been passed down to us over thousands of years of incorrect spiritual belief.  Now for context, be advised that I read the Egyptian Book of the Dead at the age of 13, so I was thinking heavily about such things during this period.  I saved up my lawn mowing money to buy the book which was a real treasure to me—it still is.  The wine representing the blood of Christ was no different from the cultures around the world that drink the blood of a sacrificed victim in the belief that a deity would be appeased by the action.  It took me about five years of this activity to finally admit to myself that it was within the framework of sacrifice that many evils around the world were committed—that the church itself was what Pope Francis attempted to paint against the gun manufacturers—a “duplicity is the currency” not only of today—but of the church itself.  Not just Catholics—but virtually every church.  It was under the Roman Catholic Church that many people died in the past and vast evils were committed needlessly against others.  Religion is not a mechanism for peace unless you happen to be a member of that particular congregation.  I determined this as many people who were supposed to be socially successful and smart would sit bowed before me awaiting the “body of Christ, prepared for you” that I’d hand them.  They went from the leaders of the community that I knew they were to willing sheep within the context of the church hoping that God might notice and give them everlasting life when they died.

Around this time I went on a youth camping trip with members of our church.  I had a girlfriend in this group so it was a chance to sneak over to her tent once everyone went to sleep. She was three years older than I was so there was much to learn.  I think I was fourteen at the time, and she was a hot-to-trot 17-year-old about to graduate from high school.  You might wonder dear reader why she was interested in me when she had access to so many older kids—well, that was because of my bullwhip which I had with me much to the anger of our minister.  Well, she wasn’t the only one who had a crush on me.  The minister did as well, and he conveniently had me sleeping in his tent on this trip.  It was a joke in my family how much the leader of our church liked me.  I was defiantly his favorite member of the congregation.  I helped during every service before and after, and my family helped set the church up on Saturdays.  It was a good wholesome experience, but at times was a little creepy.  He was a good person in most aspects of his life, but something about him made me weary.  At that time I had a reputation for fighting quite a lot, and my bullwhip use was known by everyone—and was a little scary to them.  But it kept me safe.  I felt—it kept everyone at bay, and gave me access to the kind of girls I wanted to know—so I was very obvious about it and even brought it on our youth church camping trip.

Once we all turned in for bed and were all in our tents, girls of course were matched up in their own tents, the boys in tents of their own, and I was of course paired up with the minister in his tent—just him and I.  The minister told me as we zipped up the tent that I didn’t need that whip in the tent with us—that it was a weapon of violence and that he found it offensive while laying his head down for a peaceful night’s sleep.  I told him I slept with my whip every night and that I couldn’t sleep without it. He then shrugged it off for the true motive of why he organized this whole field trip.   He took off all his cloths and encouraged me to do the same.  Without his ceremonial robes, or even the jeans and t-shirt he wore on the camping trip, it was clear to me that he was just a man of flesh and blood hungry for a physical sexual experience. He was married, but obviously in need of relationships with young people both intellectually and physically. I told him I couldn’t sleep in the nude.  I was still wearing the same camouflage pants I had worn all day and they were stinky from sweet, and he complained that they were stinking up the tent—all while he sat there in the nude trying to convince me to get undressed.  When I still didn’t, he persisted to criticize my false trust in clothing—that if I were a true Christian I wouldn’t feel I needed to hide behind my clothing.  What the minister didn’t know was that I had no intention of such a thing—that as soon as he was asleep I was going to sneak over to the tent my girlfriend was in.

That went on for about an hour.  Eventually he turned out the light; he stayed nude for some reason even though it was chilly that night.  When I heard he was asleep, I snuck out and did what I came to do on the trip.  I told the girl about my experience later that night and we laughed about it the next day. It was obvious that the minister had known I had left the tent because he had been waiting for me to go to sleep as well.  I didn’t come back to the tent until the first light of daybreak.  But he couldn’t say anything to me about it because he was guilty of bad thoughts and malicious intentions.  The girlfriend never saw the minister the same way again.  When she graduated high school and left for college she became something of a godless heathen and went dramatically in the opposite direction. I never saw or spoke to her again.  In a lot of ways the minister let her down most of all.  He became all too terrestrial that night and the guilt was clearly on his face the next day.  She lost her faith in religion never to recapture it again.  I told my parents about it as soon as I saw them.  They had a hard time with the information and never felt they could talk to the minister about it—because they were concerned that being a man of God, that it might reflect badly on them somehow.  I continued to help with the church for the next four years.  That guy married my wife and me but there was always a tension between us that remained. I wouldn’t say that he was a bad person because of that particular weakness for flesh, but it certainly diminished him in my eyes forever.  And my experience tells me that his behavior is the norm in a relationship where someone has authority over another whether it’s in a marriage, a government relationship, or a religion.  Honestly, what kept me safe from molestation was that I had my whip with me and everyone knew what I could do with it.  It is why I can tell this story now without a history of molestation in the wake.  Weapons keep us free from those who want to harm us due to their internal demons and weaknesses.

If anything gun manufacturers are saintly practitioners of goodness because they keep the bad thoughts of the power-hungry at bay.  Just because a religious leader is supposedly the representative of God on earth—it does not mean they are free of corruption.  Even those who are self-proclaimed non-sexual types have their weaknesses that come out when they think they are safely within the confines of an object of their desire.  I knew that guy really well until he pulled off his pants. That’s when you realize that you never really know anybody until you get that close and I hold those lessons adamantly to this day.  The world is full of freaks, punks and creeps, and within it we need ways to protect ourselves from intellectual and physical molestation.  My story came out alright because I had the unique abilities with the bullwhip to keep me safe.   But not everyone has such a luxury.  For them, it’s good to have a 9mm in their purse, or an AR-15 in their duffel bag.  It keeps the bad guys on their side of the tent you might say.  And it keeps decisions and responsibility for them in control of your mind—because you don’t have to yield to force under any condition.  That is why guns are a moral safeguard in America for the capitalist form of government.  The Pope may not like guns as he is trying to unite the world around his church and personal ideology of soft socialism.  But in America, we are different because we have the right to protect ourselves from people like the Pope.  He may not be as inclined to act poorly as my childhood minister, but the Catholic Church has a long history of molesting young boys—so they are not to be trusted.  The Catholic Church is responsible for more death and war than all the shootings in America added up over the last century.  They are hardly worthy of political advice, and I would argue spiritual as well.  They don’t understand “God.”  The churches of our world are focused too much on sacrifice to be truly relevant.  And it is in their error of focus that we need guns to protect us from their fallacy.  Guns give us the right to be wolves of our own design instead of sheep sent to slaughter under the poor philosophy of a church built on foundations of improper focus on worship to history interpreted by men more than the reality of actuality.
