Oh, dear reader—not all of you—because most come to this site to gain a foothold into just a bit of sanity in a world gone mad……………..but some of you…….the ones who hate me, and wish I would just stop————you are reading here out of anger hoping to find some way to twist my words around so you can end my work. You are reading here to preserve your way of life—because you are a government employee of some kind, or perhaps you are one of the idiots who found yourself seduced many years ago by the womanizing Lyndon B. Johnston and his Great Society, and you want to stop what I put up on this site every day. You wonder why people like me just don’t shut up and pay our taxes. You want me to just work, and work, and work to pay for the mindlessly insane programs you and your politicians voted for—and you expect me to support them with my value for the rest of my life. Well, I have news for all you fools of the Great Society, and of Roosevelt’s “NEW DEAL,” I don’t want it, I’m not going to support it with a quiet nod of obedience, and certainly don’t want the worth of my work to be poured into the useless abyss of more government. One of the reasons for my growing abhorrence of public education and government programs in general is articulated wonderfully in Mark Steyn’s most recent book, After America. You can see a public speaking engagement from Steyn below in four parts to get more of a taste of who, what, when and where our nation has went wrong, and why doing more of the wrong behavior will not solve the problem.
In a government gone mad the current debt per person if equated out over 306 million Americans is $13,072, but because of progressive politics, not everyone pays taxes. In fact, it’s only the richest percentage of that number who actually pays tax. The average debt per “taxpayer” is $74,074 divided over 54 million people. That’s what “democracy/communism” looks like and why there are often mindless chants from those who don’t pay much in taxes for taxes to increase—just to clear that up before we get into the really shocking numbers. In fact our debt is so bad due to progressive politics like The New Deal and The Great Society that there soon won’t be enough money in the entire world to pay our debt. Below is just one of the top ten most disturbing statistics from Mark Steyn’s After America. You can see the rest at this link:
2) John Kichen of the U.S. Treasury and Menzie Chinn of the University of Wisconsin published a study in 2010 entitled:
Financing U.S. Debt: Is There Enough Money in the World — and At What Cost?
The fact that sane men are even asking this question ought to be deeply disturbing. As to the answer, foreign official holdings of U.S. Treasury securities have usually been less than 5 percent of the rest of the world’s GDP. By 2009, they were up to 7 percent. By 2020, Kitchen and Chinn project them to rise to 19 percent of the rest of the world’s GDP, which they say is….do-able. Whether the rest of the world will want to do it is another matter. A future that presumes the rest of the planet will sink a fifth of its GDP into U.S. Treasuries is no future at all. But on Big Government’s streetcar named Desire we have come to depend on the kindness of strangers. — P.10
The federal government is so bad, corrupt, reckless, and blind to any vision of the future that America is spending $126,839 per second. Our government is spending $7,610,350 per minute! Every hour of every day in America we are spending more than $450 million on government programs, on government schools that are ineffective, on government employees like the GSA who have for years indulged in exotic trips to national conferences. On Social Security that is insufficient, Medicare that is plagued with corruption and needless medical expenses, on a military that protects the world at our expense.
Every single day in America we are spending over $11 billion dollars, just to be open for business. Over the course of the year it comes out to over $4 trillion dollars. All that money is spent, and what do we have to show for it? What is the value of the purchased services? Can America stay the greatest country in the world following these numbers? What is left for the children of tomorrow? What happens to the world if America defaults on its debt?
Many people, especially government employees like school teachers and administrators refuse to believe that it is they who are on the leading edge of this chaos. It is they who have taught society now for two decades to embrace global policies rooted in socialism and to end American technological and manufacturing dominance in order to “save the planet.”
Not all teachers in public education are bad, but unfortunately they live in an idealistic world which is formed on the philosophies of Immanuel Kant and Karl Marx, and they seek to bend the rules of reality to their distorted vision. Progressive presidents like Woodrow Wilson was president of Princeton University and was a devastating president that paved the way for a century of gradual American decline. Lyndon B. Johnston was a high school teacher as his first job, and Barack Obama was a teacher at Chicago University, and both of those presidents have shown they are not equipped to head anything resembling an economy. Between the two of them, they are almost exclusively responsible for many of the numbers mentioned above. America does not need more teachers in The White House. History has shown that in so doing America lends itself to the same bankrupt spending habits currently seen in every public school in the country—and our kids are coming out of school being taught by those types of people.
Progressives have “progressed” America right off a cliff, and people like me have every right to demand a return to sanity. I am not committed to continuing the ridiculous programs of the progressive movement. I personally like rugged individualism, I love the spirit of American adventure in the 1800’s and I believe that the “can do” spirit of that period combined with what we know of modern science is the key the world needs. But I do propose a rejection of virtually everything progressive politics has brought to America and recommend sending it back on a ship to Europe to reside there in the Dark Ages of history with the ghosts of Martin Luther (the religious figure) and stacks of former Popes.
Progressivism does not work. It does not work in public education. It does not work in the creation of the welfare state, and it is not the ticket to a free and just society. It is a dismal failure that requires quick assessment, acceptance of malfunction, and rejection by the American people within the decade, otherwise—it will be too late and America will fail on their watch.
So if you are one of the people reading this and you don’t like it—tough! Now, watch this last video at least three times, because it will take that many times for the information to sink in. After watching this you will see that there is no way to continue with the programs of TheGreat Society. There is no way to maintain the New Deal. There is no way to do anything that President Obama wants to do. If America is to survive, it has to go back to before progressive politics infected our society. That is not inflammatory language. It’s a fact of life. Let Tony Robbins explain it to you now.

I was so angry with so many people over the attempt to eliminate me from the political scene by the progressive education funding apologists that I had made a decision to turn up the heat even more and get personal in the levy fights at Lakota–so I called my political enemies “latte sipping prostitutes” and described how and why which became all the rage in Cincinnati. (CLICK HERE TO REVIEW). I had made a decision to break away from the orthodox approach and get even nastier since it became evident that the Lakota school system did not respect the wishes of the voting public and were positioning themselves for a fourth levy attempt, so I didn’t even listen to the interview I did for Scott Sloan’s show on 700 WLW during his morning program, which was very controversial, and difficult for me personally. It was strange to be referred to as a sexist, a woman-hater, and an activist on the same rhetorical level as a “Wall Street Occupier” making the interview shown below one of the most difficult I’ve ever given. In the interview at one point Scott stated that I had weakened my argument by yelling louder than the pro levy factions. But I didn’t agree. I yelled louder than my political enemies for the same reason a parent yells over screaming, disrespectful children—to get their attention and let them know that their behavior is intolerable. The pro levy people attempted to take my very targeted comments and apply them to all women of the world—especially Lakota, because it diffuses the attention away from the groups I had in mind. It’s an old strategy that has worked to advance many radical agendas over the years, and it was surreal to find myself involved in the middle one. But deep inside I knew I was saying what everyone was already thinking—but dared not speak for fear of ridicule—such as what I experienced during this very difficult interview. Click the video to listen.
I knew as I hung up the phone that most people understood what was happening by the way the Enquirer article was quoted, the way that it aligned itself as a paper with the public relations intentions of the Lakota school system. I knew my supporters would see this event as the political assassination attempt that it was. I knew such an attempt had been in the works for quite a long time, and that it was initiated by a sitting school board member to eliminate me from the political scene. I knew that other school board members were attempting to break bread with my friends at No Lakota Levy to soften our resolve against their reckless financial proposals. And I also knew that financially strong community advocates were putting serious pressure on several business owners through the Lakota school district to weaken their stance supporting No Lakota Levy. That pressure gave rise to the scholarship foundation mentioned in the interview which was not expected by the pro levy groups at Lakota and set off a violent reaction which prompted this character assassination attempt against me. The hard-core levy supporters who were the targets of my comments knew that if I were involved in taking away their extortion measures with a positive community campaign that they would lose their stranglehold on the district so they came after me with all guns blazing.
But you never quite know who is on your side until you face a crisis, and as Scott and I parted ways after that interview I had a sense of where the weak links were on my side quickly, and I had to decide to completely rebuild my efforts alone. Given the way the Cincinnati media quickly piled up against me biting down on the hook cast into the water by the pro levy, pro union, progressive feminists, it appeared that I would be fighting in the future differently—which I was prepared to do. So I didn’t listen to the interview, or read the paper, and haven’t now for over a month.
But something unexpected happened almost immediately following my interview with Scott Sloan. People were pulling me aside, men and women, and were—thanking me. At first it was just a couple of bold personalities who I thought were just trying to encourage me not to give up the fight, which was never in danger anyway. But from their perspective, they were concerned. In the days after, leading all the way up to yesterday—at gas pumps, restaurants, meetings, community events—there have been many people who have personally came up to me and thanked me for speaking on their behalf against “the mob” as they termed it. So many people approached me in the weeks that followed with such statements that I decided if 100 people came to me and thanked me for my very aggressive comments lambasting the pro levy government education supporters then I’d go back and listen to the Scott Sloan broadcast and post it here on Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.
Yesterday I heard from my 100th person, a man who told me that it was about time that someone stand up to those cackling hens who think they can cheerlead all of society right down the crapper. I will admit that these comments were relieving, because you just never know. I knew my comments would get attention, which is why I made them, but I wasn’t sure they would be successful solidifying how many people really feel about being openly scammed by progressive social engineers attempting to do to our communities what they do on the national stage.
In fact it was a woman who told me just a few hours after my interview with Scott Sloan that I said 90% of what everyone already thought and that she knew I didn’t mean all women when I made my statements. She recognized that the targets of my comments had no other defense but to attempt to pull all women into their quicksand just as they’ve done over the entire feminist movement. The man yesterday told me that the “bitches had it coming” and he hoped that I would continue to call those progressive terrorists out by name as I did in the interview above.
What these pro levy people, and progressive activists don’t know is something that I only suspected at the beginning of that Scott Sloan interview—was that millions upon millions of people are frustrated and tired of the crying diatribes that many progressive activists use to advance their cause. In the case at Lakota it’s the radical mothers who are in the minority but seem unable to isolate their protective instincts from the logic of reason regarding funding decisions that affect the entire community—young and old alike. The radicals of my community are not unlike the racial radicals in Florida who want Zimmerman crucified to solve some social ill they are trying to advance in yet another progressive platform using the unfortunate death of a black child as their launch pad. Nobody in the media calls them progressives parasites for using a grieving family as a key to manipulating an entire society, but most reasonable Americans can see the sham for what it is—but they are taught by society to keep their comments to themselves otherwise they will be attacked—like I was.
I have spoken to many more hundreds, if not thousands of anti-levy supporters who are truly scared to speak out in public because they do not want the wrath of the activists to publicly humiliate them or their children. In the last campaign there were a lot of emails and personal correspondence where people showed their support of No Lakota Levy but did not want a sign in their yard because they were afraid they’d become targets by the radicals in our community who will stop at nothing to extort more money from the public to satisfy their unrelenting appetites for safety, security, and as much money as possible to throw at their children hoping it will overcompensate for their parental inadequacies. And a selfish labor force of union employees is all too willing to exploit this naive group of activists to loot more money for themselves. The rest of the community is far more experienced in business and in raising families and we can only shake our heads at the sheer stupidity of the whole scam. So when a person like me says what everyone is already thinking, it’s a feeling of relief, not shame that is the dominate emotion.
I had been keeping a count since March 15th of these people who thanked me, and the best one was last week, number 94. I was getting gas and a car pulled up across the pump from me. It was a Lexus and a businessman got out, someone who looked to me like he had children in the district and was a pro levy type of supporter. I noticed he kept looking at me as he pumped his gas–as if he were working up the courage to speak to me. As I finished up and was getting back on my bike, he stopped pumping and approached me. “Excuse me, but are you Rich Hoffman?”
“Yes I am,” I replied.
He smiled as though relieved. “I have wanted to contact you for a while now—I just want to say—thank you.”
I smiled as he shook my hand. “For what?”
“For putting those God damn, bitches in their place. For striking back at those Lakota Fu**kers and standing up for the rest of us the way you do. What you said took serious balls.”
I was shocked to hear him talk this way at a gas pump in the early morning before most people even had a cup of coffee. And he didn’t look like the type of person who would use such language. He was very animated. “Thanks,” was the only thing I could think to say. I looked at his hand and saw he wore a wedding band. “Does your wife share your beliefs?”
“She was the one who told me about you. She reads your blog every single night before she comes to bed. She’s very much a fan.”
“Well, that’s good to hear. You have no idea,” I replied.
Our conversation evolved into many other topics centering on his family and Lakota. He railed on about how high the taxes were and how dangerous it was for a small group of levy supporters to have so much manipulative power over a community of over 100,000 residents. We both agreed that it is done through extortion and force.
He left in his Lexus as I put my weather gear back on for my motorcycle ride feeling good inside. It is always good to hear when people see through the games being played to the essence of a situation. In this case, I had thought the man would be a levy supporter, not a guy on my side of politics. So he surprised me. In the wake of the March 15th broadcast on 700 WLW I learned that my frustration spoke on behalf of many thousands if the sample of 100 could be such an indicator. If 100 people went out of their way to tell me how they felt, there are no doubt 10 for every one of them who thought about approaching me, but didn’t. I like that math, and more than that, it is nice to see people finding their courage and beginning to call these progressive terrorists what they really are.
For too long we’ve all been too polite, too sensitive, too lack-luster. We admire characters in movies and TV shows that act boldly in their lives, but we find often we chastise the behavior in real life. And the enemies of America know we have this tendency, so they openly exploit our weakness with social terrorism. The way to counter that terrorism is with doses of it back in their direction. If the weapons they use are peer pressure manipulation through name calling and attacks on social and economic status in an effort to control political behavior, then it can work against them also. After trying everything else but that strategy I decided to turn up the heat and throw back at the social terrorists of my community the type of rhetoric they had been dishing out using my own special flare. I told those levy supporters what I thought about them. I was honest. And honesty is not something that we should ever apologize for. Sometimes it might hurt what we say and think, sometimes we might feel the situation wrongly, but the exchange of dialogue is necessary and when reason is not the governing factor, then fire must be fought with fire. In a raging inferno, water just evaporates to mist. That is what happens to the facts we present in the school levy fights. They come out of the hose cool, but the raging tempers of the estrogen driven radicals confusing biological protection for their young with endless financial justification for ever higher taxes becomes nullified at the point of attack—so a new strategy must be utilized.
For those 100 supporters over the last month who have given me that much-needed support, I thank you. It is hard to do anything that goes against the norm, especially when the strategy of your political enemies is to handcuff criticism of their actions with political correctness. This has taken away the ability of people to call things what they actually are. So when I decided to call the situation as I saw it, there was a risk that I might do what Scott Sloan suggested and that is lose supporters and validity in my arguments. And on that day as I hung up the phone I wondered if I had crossed the line. But over the last month, I realized that I hadn’t—that my descriptive terms were deserved, and appreciated by many people who feel run over by a process that can only be described as tyrannical. Fights like this one are not won by playing nicely while the other party kicks at your knees or groin. To win these fights you have to be willing to play every bit as dirty as they are—even harder. Because they have shown that they will not listen to reason, that they do not respect the opinions of the community majority, and will stop at nothing to satisfy their internal neurosis. So to the magic 100, thank you for letting me know you thought I did the right thing. It means a lot.

Evidence that progressives will completely lie to advance their “green movement” can be seen in the video below. (Check out the size of the driver!)
Many wonder why I picked public education as my target strategy to beat back the international terrorists called progressives who have decided to invade my country The United States. The answer of course is to protect the property rights that are pillaged by high taxes from labor unions operating under government schools. But the more fundamental issue for me is the content of the education itself—what are our teachers instructing our young about and why. The answer to that question set my target, because of an article I read in The New Yorker way back in 2008 promoting Naomi Klein’s second book Shock Doctrine.
If you don’t know Naomi, she is an articulate, well-meaning spokesman for her cause. She is typically soft-spoken and very profession in her presentation of facts. She’s also a radical progressive, which is the new name for communism these days. In that New Yorker article I realized that socialists were a very real threat to the United States and that people like Naomi—who is Canadian working aggressively with global greenie weenies to destroy American forms of capitalism with the concept of carbon credits and other regulatory infringements on a mission to save the world from mankind. You can see a bit of Naomi Klein’s work and beliefs in this video from the Copenhagan Climate Talks.
In the New Yorker article from back then it is easy to see now in hindsight what was going on, as President Obama hadn’t even set foot in the White House yet. At a speech Naomi Klein gave at the Bloor Cinema in Toronto, Canada copies of Socialist Action were being sold for a dollar each to the line that stretched to the end of the block and around the corner. As 850 audience members took their seats Klein took the stage and gave her speech that migrated from topics of fighting racism and poverty, working for education, international solidarity, justice for immigrants and solidarity with Palestine. But most notably in the New Yorker article was the picture of Naomi wearing a pin, “MOVE THE CENTER.” This nice young woman was truly a radical in disguise openly advocating war against America and promoting moving the political center more to the left. Now, four years later we have seen every one of the issues she mentioned in that Toronto speech played out in the administration of Barack Obama to a fault, and the political center has been moved very, very far to the left—in favor of the greenie weenie religion of climate terrorism.
School teachers would be one of the first since the year 2000 to begin to implement all those speech topics into the class rooms of our public schools in an effort to teach our children to become crusaders for climate terrorism and the success of that endeavor can now be seen in our young people—especially the Occupy Wall Street crowd. The progressive platform advocated by Naomi Klein and thousands just like her have corrupted America from within by an aggression nobody saw coming. And it started in our schools.
That is why I first went after public education in my efforts, because it is in these palaces of government protection and union mob rule that progressivism is passed onto our children like a disease ingested through uncooked chicken. Naomi Klein is one of the terrorists who advocate protecting mother earth while disguising her real intentions of creating global mixed economies that feature progressive socialism as control mechanisms. One of her featured targets in The New Yorker article was Milton Friedman as she went to great measures to explain why pure capitalism as Friedman advocated were so destructive to the world of mother earth. Her audience gasped in horror as Friedman’s beliefs were subjected to her scrutiny—beliefs such as no government interference of markets, no tariffs, no subsidies, no minimum-wage laws, no public housing, no Social Security, no financial regulation, no licensing requirements, including those for doctors. In short, I saw out of Naomi Klein and her minions of doom an attack on everything I believe as Milton Friedman advocated decades ago what I know is the only course America should be on, and I decided that I would refocus my energy to moving that Progressive center shown on her button not to the left, but clean off the chart back toward the right—but completely off the scale—because I’ve had it with greenie weenie, progressive socialists who wish to impose themselves on my life with their antics of destruction.
The attack by these progressives has not gone unchecked. In 2009 the Tea Party formed to push back against these progressive encroachments and I greatly support the cause of those organizations and other liberty groups that formed under this uprising. But I saw a need for more. So I set out to create Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom and to refocus my literary intentions in a way that would counter the strategies of the progressive terrorists like Naomi Klein who are intent on destroying a way of life that I enjoy—the American way of life complete with cowboy hats, work boots, motorcycles, and guns. I don’t want what the socialists of Copenhagen want for me. In fact, I reject their lifestyle and beliefs completely, and I want their influence out of American government schools.
Now over four years later the greenie weenies are beginning to show themselves as “watermelons” which Naomi Klein addressed in a recent article from 2012 where she openly advocated that if society is going to take climate change seriously, then the free-market playbook must be thrown out the window. In the article link shown below Naomi addresses her concern that the progressive platform is failing. In 2007—back when The New Yorker article appeared 71 percent of Americans believed in climate change. In 2009 only 51% did and now in 2012 the number is down to 41%. That is the result of the blow back created by the rise of the Tea Party and other patriots who have grabbed hold of Naomi Klein’s extreme left political center and yanked hard to the right.
Progressives like Naomi Klein have acknowledged that people like me who are climate deniers are not crazy—our worldview is under attack. I know many people who feel just as she stated in The Solution Journal, that any government intervention does lead to serfdom, and will bring about a socialist world, and yes—we have to fight it off. And that fight starts first at your local school where progressive teachers and administrators are right now using your tax money to turn American children against the culture of our country, and then it is at the voting booth where a whole nest of cockroaches have been allowed under our slumber to run up our national deficit to over $15 trillion dollars while they seek to control every single part of our lives. Their most recent excursion is, H.R. 3523, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 (CISPA) which authorizes internet service providers to share customer communications and other personally identifiable information with government agencies. Bills like that require action immediately to prevent looting politicians from taking away the freedom of the internet as they have with virtually everything involving liberty that exists. Left unchecked, a looter like Naomi Klein will attempt to tax us all just for breathing air and causing carbon dioxide.
No matter how compelling the presentation is from environmental terrorists like Naomi Klein they can’t overcome one small problem—they need people to buy into their scam in order to succeed. But for the patriot movement, we only need to no longer feed them with tax money. All the progressive organizations of the world and their radical agendas require funding, and they get that funding by stealing it through taxation. Progressives need us to survive, we do not need them. So to get them out of your lives, the first step is to cut their funding so they can no longer use your money against you. And the very first place, and most immediate result you can gain from your denial of funding is to your local school where there are thousands upon thousands of environmental terrorists teaching our children every day how to grow up and become tree hugging hippies and social parasites with their highest aims in life to live off of welfare. Sorry, but that’s not the life I want. It’s an American life for me complete with big cars that burn lots of fuel and go really fast. The greenie weenies of this progressive assault against America can shove their carbon credits from Copenhagen straight up their “collective” assess and drive their smart cars to the nearest dump. The youth in The United States need to learn what being an American really is and not learning to become a global citizen praying to the goddess “mother earth.”
Oh, and this is the reality of the progressive movement’s stupid “green cars.”
As you are reading this at 8:00 PM on April 25th 2012, Monroe Local Schools is having a special meeting with their school board to ask the public what to do about their multimillion dollar operating deficit. For some unknown reason, the district seems to believe that their costs magically spring up from the ground like grass, and they pretend they didn’t plant the seeds. The school board like all school boards everywhere plays dumb as to what put them into their financial situation to begin with, which are their labor costs. Monroe desperately wants another operating levy from the public to solve their financial problems, but they don’t want to end up like their neighbors to the south—Lakota and look like a bunch of bumbling fools going to the public three times in two years only to be rejected handedly each time.
It was only yesterday that Superintendent Mantia at Lakota and her public relations staff–that charges $60 per hour to the tax payer–made the final announcement that after several school board meetings, the school board finally agreed to cut 141 jobs to offset a $9 million budget deficit eventually slashing $10.5 million for the next school year. After the Monday night meeting similar to Monroe’s, Mantia and her empire of looters put out the call to the media around town that the cause of the cuts to the Lakota school system was the result of several levy defeats in recent years.
Serious……………..that’s what she said!
It’s no wonder all these schools are broke, no matter how much money tax payers send their way. Superintendent Karen Mantia of the Lakota school system makes $165,000 a year with up to a quarter million dollars in total compensation and she can’t even identify what the real problem is in solving her budget. What she does know how to do is complain about how sad it is that these 141 jobs are going to be cut, and how much every person on the layoff list has contributed to Lakota and the students. “They have served in every school, some in every grade level, and they have taught across the spectrum in many subjects. They have combined years of experience and the loss of these people is regrettable.”
She continued to say, “By experience, we know that we will receive some resignations in the upcoming months. We do have a recall list. We will recall employees up to two years as job openings arise and after that they will go through the usual hiring process.” Listening to the superintendent go on and on about how sad it is to lose all these jobs, it is easy to see what the priorities of the school are, and that is to provide jobs to the employees of the school, and the school believes that if they somehow cannot provide jobs to teachers and administrators then they have failed.
That’s the only way to explain Superintendent Mantia’s complete lack of understanding of what her budget problems are. She specifically stated that the problems were “caused” by the failed school levies over the last couple of years. She did not acknowledge the fact that the “cause” of her budget problems were that Lakota had too many employees making too much money on the pay role. She also did not say that she could have kept all 141 positions if she could have asked the labor union at the LEA to take a 3% pay reduction to save their “brothers and sisters” jobs at Lakota. No—nobody suggested that—except me.
Instead the superintendent of Lakota and the school board continued to display that they have no idea why they have a budget problem. This is why they allow their budget costs to control them instead of doing what the rest of the world outside of government does and that’s control costs. Mantia sounded just as dazed and confused as Timothy Gietner did recently declaring that the Obama Administration would do nothing to get out in front of the coming Medicare/Social Security meltdown except raise taxes on the rich, as if it wasn’t the Obama Administration policies that caused the problem. Lakota schools and the rest of the school boards across Ohio are all guilty of the same kind evasion, they truly seem to believe that they did not cause their own problems by making public school jobs some of the most coveted positions available in the modern economy, because nowhere else can an employee work so little and be paid so much. All these public employees have a nice little scam going, as if they truly believe the solution to the world’s problems is to give everyone a government job and everything will solve itself. Gietner certainly believes such things, and his boss Barry Obama certainly does—and without question Superintendent Mantia of Lakota does. That is why she’s so sad to see all those jobs go, even though most of them should have been cut a year or two ago anyway.
I know one of the positions at Lakota that will be vacant soon is Keith Klein who interviewed today for an assistant superintendent position in another distirct. Klein is currently the principle at Lakota East. That’s good, because once Klein leaves Lakota will save an additional $110,000 per year in wages. Since enrollment will be down at Lakota in the coming years that means there will be many more employees like Keith Klein who occupy wages at the top of the pay scale will also be leaving to avoid the kind of things that are crawling around in the wake of good ol’ Keith. In fact, the layoffs that Mantia announced are just the start. Within a few years there will be a number of school buildings that will be empty as there just won’t be enough students to fill them, and thus—no need for the employees any longer. Lakota’s budget next year is set to be $154 million, and as enrollment demands drop off, and employees like Keith Klein continue to turn in their resignations saving the district millions with their departure, Lakota looks to have a promising future.
But school officials are having this activity happen to them by default because the communities have taken the steps of turning off the money to these bottomless pits of government school budgets. They didn’t come up with these management methods on their own, which is why Superintendent Mantia looks like she just got blasted out of a cannon, because everything that is happening to her goes against her training as a government school employee—which was to make good paying jobs off tax payer money. Suddenly the tax payers have said they’ve had enough, and no more money is coming, so the schools have to figure out how to solve their problems—like they should have always been doing.
Monroe schools hopes that they can avoid the fate of Lakota by dancing around the issue as long as they can. Hopefully for them–if they are lucky–they will see many of their top wage earners employed at their school retire or leave for another school system so that budget room will be freed up. This is how you balance a budget. If your revenue is limited, which at some point they all must be, then you ask employees to live within the budget with pay reductions, or you reduce the number of employees to meet your revenue. Throwing a fit like a small child is not acceptable, and spending even more money on public relations manipulation in an effort to make the public feel sorry for the management of the district is pathetic, and pretentious. Hopefully Monroe will learn something from Superintendent Mantia and not make fools of themselves with a lot of noise that essentially means nothing, because the voice of the public must be obeyed and not twisted maliciously as Lakota has attempted to do which divided the community in half politically. In the end the community will come to realize in Monroe what has been learned in Lakota, and that’s all government schools are microcosms of the macrocosm of government in general. And attempting to feed that monster is a worthless enterprise and the sooner people stop doing it, the sooner they can stop being eaten by a system that never stops being hungry and seeks to devour everything in their path on a mission to destroy private enterprise, private property, and enslave the whole world into more and more government.
In advance I must say I’m sorry because this posting will be difficult for many of my readers here to deal with. Before I get into the details of this article let me state that it is better to have something of a spiritual nature that holds together a personality even if they do not get that spiritual means from any other source than religion. I am far from a godless heathen in the way I conduct my own life and for many years the church was important to me. But there comes a time when you either keep growing or you stop, and I never stopped. I outgrew the confines of any religion in a personal quest for knowledge and philosophy that has replaced that spiritual growth for me which I consider to be much larger than the teachings that come from just The Holy Bible.
This small disclosure is needed for a reason, there are two modern philosophers who have done work that will save the world by saving America, and they need to be studied. Any barrier which stands in the way of learning what these people had to say needs to be addressed. It is one thing to study the Founding Fathers and what they had to say, but the task of our modern age is different, and will require a different level of understanding to accomplish. We cannot just repeat what was done in the past, but must learn from it and translate it to our modern circumstances, and to understand the perspective of where America finds itself in 2012 this information is important.
A few times a year he makes port with his boat in New York and picks up his royalty check from his publisher, then he goes back out to sea to disappear for months at a time. He made his contribution to the human race and he’s done—and I don’t blame him one bit.
The turn-off that many people have toward Ayn Rand is that she did not believe in God, and her reasons are for the same reasons that Aristotle and Plato were fundamentally in intellectual combat all the time. Plato eventually at the end of his life began to see that Aristotle was correct in the belief that “The truth resides in the world around us.” Plato on the other hand believed that “Earthly knowledge is but a shadow.” Plato thought that forms in the living world were to some degree less than an unseen, unknowable supreme being that is just out of reach of our conscious reality. It is Plato who was used by later philosophers such as Boethius in 480 CE to help formulate the terms of Christianity in the church and create what we think of God here in the modern age. Boethius wrote the masterful book The Consolation of Philosophy while in prison awaiting execution for treason. It was in this work by Boethius that many of the myths about a living God emerged such as “God foresees our free thoughts and actions,” and that God is beyond time. Descartes, Leibniz and Kant would proceed on with Plato’s corrupted theory through the Dark Ages into the modern progressive age. It would be Immanuel Kant that the academics of Europe and America would attempt to mold the progressive philosophy from and Karl Marx was a huge fan of Kant. The flaw in Plato’s thinking was not malicious, nor did it take away from his creative genius. His thoughts were improved by Aristotle by competition of thought and many problems Plato had in his theory were solved by Aristotle. But Aristotle was rejected by the medieval churches because Aristotle didn’t fit the agenda of social control, and Plato did.
After Aristotle died there was a philosopher by the name of Epicurus from 341-to 270 BCE who took Aristotle’s ideas a bit further. He determined that if mankind could overcome a fear of death, then we can be happy. On the last day of his life, knowing he would be dead by the end of the day he was asked if he was still happy. He replied, that he was truly happy—as he had rejected any fear of death in his life. It was Epicurus, known by many in the Dark Ages as a man in pursuit of sensual pleasures by rejecting the idea that his actions in this life were in a quest to obtain something better in the next life. It was John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century who much later revived the ideas of Epicureanism putting the idea in the head of the American Founding Fathers. It is because of Epicurus that the term, “Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” was put into TheDeclaration of Independence. It was Jefferson and many of the other Founding Fathers who embraced Aristotle in favor of Plato. And it was Ayn Rand who took Aristotle to a whole new level in objectivism. She has done for Aristotle what Kant did for Plato.
The modern cry out for a fix to the worlds moral state of depravity is because everything the human race thinks and believes was built off a false premise that Plato himself attempted to correct later, but the editors of history looking to the passive collectivism in Plato’s belief of a superior afterlife created flocks of human slaves ready for worldly representatives who could communicate with the Gods.
After Epicurus died, Greek philosophy quickly declined and the Roman Empire rose to power. The Romans applied stoicism which placed duty before self. As America became a world power and considered itself to be more like Rome, our military had adopted the Roman practice of honor in sacrifice. Of course the Romans advocated stoicism to serve the needs of the empire and this went on until Constantine declared himself a Christian by signing the Edict of Milan which allowed Christians for the first time to profess their religious beliefs.
The Roman Empire fell basically in 395 CE with the division of the Empire into East and West and the vacuum of philosophy and the arts vacant in Europe and the Mediterranean since the time of the Greeks was satisfied by various churches trying to fill the power void left in the wake. This was the beginning of The Dark Ages and the churches needed a way to gain control of the various segments of the population no longer under the obedience of the Roman Empire. St Augustine of Hippo 354 to 430 CE had began to devote himself to Christianity and proposed that God is not responsible for evils which led to the interpretation of the Fall in the Garden story of Adam and Eve. The Hebrew Bible began to take shape as early as the 7th and 10th centuries organized by Masoretes. The Codex Amiatinus was produced in the 8th century, but it wasn’t until TheGutenberg Bible printed in 1452 that a Bible could be given to anyone outside of a church for comprehension and personal study. Until that time all information was passed to the masses through the church, which they ruled with an iron fist.
Many of the books in the Bible were not written or translated until several centuries after the passing of Christ. Given the nature of the churches in the Dark Ages, I would suspect anything they put into a biblical translation, or left out. To me the Bible makes an interesting story, but it doesn’t come close to providing irrefutable truths about faith or the nature of God. It was not constructed by the hand of God, but by just another group of tyrants running the churches at the time. By the time the first Bibles were available for printed publication, well over 1000 years had transpired from the times of Christ.
A few hundred years after the fall of the Roman Empire, the Muslim religion started as they sought to translate Aristotle’s work into the formation of their religion. Evolving in parallel with Christianity following closely the teachings of Zoroastrianism the Muslim religion did not have a Quran (Koran) at the time of Muhammad’s death in 632 CE. Zoroastrianism had been prevalent in the modern area of Iran as early as 6th century BCE and had gradually been assimilated into Islam. Both Christianity and the Muslim faith resemble great similarities to Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism would be revived by Friedrich Nietzsche in his book about the Übermensch (translated to overman—the name of this site) called Thus Spoke Zarathustra, named his main character after the prophet of Zoroastrianism.
Dear reader—I am telling you all this so that you can understand the shallowness of our human history and the beliefs that have brought us to this point. Much of what America did right in its creation was created by philosophies built upon the shoulders of Aristotle. Much of what we have done wrong has been done on the shoulders of Plato. It really comes down to those two thinkers. Everyone else has simply added to the basic ideas between those two philosophers. Aristotle was rejected until Thomas Aquinas talked the church into reviving the philosopher around 1270 CE, and it was Aristotle who had filled the gaps of his master Plato. Yet it was the churches, and the philosopher Immanuel Kant, Karl Marx, then Woodrow Wilson, then Franklin Roosevelt, then John Kennedy, then Lyndon Johnston who brought to America more of Plato’s philosophy with an emphasis on religion from the Dark Ages through the writings of Kant and Roman stoicism. And that is where we have gone wrong as a country.
Ayn Rand has put her philosophy of Objectivism behind the work of Aristotle and when our nation functioned with a leaning under Aristotelian terms due to philosophers like John Locke whom the Founding Fathers read heavily, America worked better than anywhere in the world, much the way Greece did before the death of Aristotle. A country is built on the ideas of the people who inhabit the nation, and depending on the quality of the minds of those individuals a society will have success or failure. America is failing because it is functioning from the wrong ideas, so it is time to get rid of what doesn’t work and replace it with what does.
I’m certainly not asking anybody to give up their Bibles or their religions. But I am asking you dear reader to repot yourself into a larger container and give your roots some room to spread so you can grow even more. As human beings we are only performing at a fraction of what we are capable of, and progressives are using the same methods that created the Dark Ages to keep mankind as small plants in small pots with no room to grow. I didn’t learn all that I showed above in public school—in fact not one word of it. I may have heard the names of Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle in my high school anthropology class, which I did enjoy. I learned all that from reading—and reading a lot. And being willing to go outside my comfort zone in pursuit of truths that no teacher could give me—because most of the teachers I ran into were practicing evasion tactics in their own lives and were certainly not in a condition to teach others.
But Ayn Rand should not be avoided just because she didn’t believe in a God the way the Bible instructs. She asked for proof and in the world of the living there were no signs of such proof. Ayn Rand demanded explanations for what she believed and why she believed it. Regulating certain thoughts to the blankness of a superior world that is unknowable, has left thieves and looters open to scam society with false teachings and speculation anchored in an afterlife. This is what looter politicians and corrupt representatives of the churches have done for many years—they prayed on the weak-minded who had been looking for salvation in their lives. Churches and governments both appeal to the masses through collectivism, and if America is to ever find itself again, it must eliminate collectivism from its vocabulary and protect the rights of individuals in the here and now.
One of those methods of replacing collectivism in American culture with a philosophy grounded in the roots of Aristotle, properly–as the greek texts had conceived before the corruption of interpretation exploding forth in the Dark Ages is Ayn Rand’s Objectivism. Today, it is Leonard Peikoff who carries Rand’s message as he is the official authorized presenter of Objectivism through his classes over many years starting in 1976. Objecitivism is the next step for the human beings of the world as it’s logic is destined to replace all the superstitions and theory of many years of religious turmoil and philosophic limitation. Below are an entire course worth of videos from Leonard Peikoff himself as he provided this philosophy to one of his classes. If you are a fan of Rand’s work such as Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead, you will learn why those works are so powerful to you by watching Peikoff’s presentation. If you reject Ayn Rand in anger, or fear, you will learn why you are wrong in your thoughts. Philosophy is the foundation of everything, so if society is broken in some way, it is because the metaphysics and epistemology of the society is wrong at its basic premise. This is not an idea that can be cheated, or corrected with further spending. It can only be fixed with correction into the metaphysics and epistemology of a societies philosophy.
Religion is a guide for a person’s eternal life, and whatever method one chooses to utilize in getting there is perfectly fine. But radical Muslims cannot be allowed to inflict their beliefs on the rest of America and threaten to kill everyone who doesn’t believe in their shallow version of history. And Christians are in the same situation. Zionists have a right to exist and much of the trouble in present day Palestine and Israel are conflicts over the same plot of land as interpreted by the religious beliefs that were stemmed off the sources shown above. They have more in common then they have apart, yet they are willing to kill with the simple mindedness of stoicism utilized in the Roman Empire to bend the opposing belief system into their way of thinking. And this behavior is perpetuated by powerful interests all over the world who actually wish to rule in the same way that the churches did in The Dark Ages.
For all these reasons discussed above the great mind of Robert Pirsig is sailing out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, or perhaps even the Caribbean right now aloof to it all. I know people who attempt to read his books and find themsevles reading them over and over again never quite getting the concepts. This is because they still have their roots in too small of a pot–the world of Plato and Kent. But just because it’s hard, or different does not mean it’s not right. You can see more about Robert Pirsig at the link below.
It’s not enough to wave the flag and proclaim change. You have to know what you want to change into, or in the case of The United States, what we want to revert back into. We have to know what part of our history worked and why, then commit ourselves to the act of getting there. I am not quite where Robert Pirsig is, where I’m willing to drop the world and walk off—because that’s what he did. Lucky for us Ayn Rand never did that. She stayed with the attempt of waking up the world her entire life, arguing against the foolishness of building the entire human race around Platonic thought with one eye everyday toward death allowing priests, politicians and simple looters to believe their souls could be saved if they coerced society into collective salivation through their toxic manipulations. The key to all life, to the betterment of all the world is to wake up the soul of every single human being and get them to treat their soul well in the here and now with an eye on today and living a good life as an individual of value and end the global practice of evasion utilized by the second-handlers of religion and politics. God gave human beings the gift of reason, and it is an insult to the universe if we simply refuse to use it due to half-hearted beliefs rooted in a time thousands of years ago that was faulty from the start, and identified. But the looters of logic stole the broken thoughts and passed them through the centuries to arrive before us all today in modern America. The key is in our minds already—all we lack is the courage to use it.
A wonderful video has been created to display vividly that America is, and has been under attack for quite some time by enemies who seek the complete destruction of everything we stand for. The pain you are feeling at the gas pumps, the lack of jobs, and the declining quality of your life can be blamed on one thing—economic suicide committed against America by its enemies who occupy our public offices. They did this with trickery and double-talk, leaving us with a crisis that threatens our very lives. So watch this video carefully not just once, but several times—then pass it on to your friends and family so that they can understand the magnitude of the problems that reside right in front of our faces.
The fate of our future is in your hands—you must act or you will lose everything you possess within a generation.

It is amazing how tilted the table is when someone isn’t a liberal, progressive, or public employee thief yet uses inflammatory language to make a point—because the other side certainly does it. Wasn’t it Barrack Obama who threatened to blow up the Jonas Brothers to protect his children with a predator drone. Hmmmmmmm…….or what about when President Obama’s union brother Jimmy Hoffa said he was going to “take these sons of bitches out” meaning the Tea Party at a rally in Detroit during the election of 2011. Apparently, the rules are, if you are from one side of the political aisle, you can say and do anything you want. If you are from the other side, like Ted Nugent, or Sarah Palin then everything said will be used against you in the court of public opinion.
The newspapers carried the story with vivid language used by me to describe my latté sipping enemies in full text, which surprised me. Every radio station in town read those articles on the air to over a million listeners combined in the tri-state area of Cincinnati. I heard it on radios when I went to pump gas at the gas station, from the kitchens of restaurants when I went out to eat, and from the downed windows in people’s cars. It was on FM radio as well as AM radio all day long. It was my first time up close and personal in seeing the kind of progressive manipulation that I’ve watched happen to people like Mel Gibson after he made the film The Passion, Rush Limbaugh on many occasions particularly over his Donovan McNabb comments a few years ago, and Glenn Beck countless times. Growing up I watched how progressive film reviewers went after Clint Eastwood aggressively over every film he made, particularly the Dirty Harry films and Eastwood would purposely fight back with pithy comments of his own. This went on until Eastwood made the film White Hunter Black Heart and decidedly become more of a filmmaking moderate then progressives no longer saw him as a threat and started to let him off the hook.
Progressive antagonists have learned these character assassination tactics properly from people like Saul Alinsky—who was trained by the mob in Chicago—how to engage in public relations terrorism, and they have used those tactics to eliminate their political enemies with the same effectiveness. When a political enemy has the moral high ground they are to be put on their defenses by answering a negative—which cannot be overcome easily. In Mel Gibson’s case he was a wild and crazy party guy for years and Hollywood loved him for it. All during his Lethal Weapon films his antics with women and drinking were legendary and everyone wanted to party with Mel. But Mel had a very serious side, which started to come out in films like Man Without a Face, and eventually Braveheart referenced by Ted Nugent. After Braveheart Mel became a serious threat. Hollywood wanted more of that kind of material, but they failed to understand where in Gibson’s heart these films came from. Braveheart was a very passionate, patriotic film, but it was about the faraway land of Scotland. Mel Gibson gave studios what they thought they wanted with The Patriot, which was another Braveheart type of film, but this time centering on the American Revolution and that crossed the line of the progressive agenda. At that point, progressives in the film community started coming after Mel Gibson with their name calling terrorism.
Gibson responded to his critics by making one of the most obscure and controversial films in the history of cinema, The Passion. He showed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in all the glory a long time Catholic might envision, and he had a creative license to do so. After all—it’s a free society and anybody is allowed to make a film about the life of Christ and they have tried. They just didn’t do it as good—and with the horsepower of Mel Gibson. So the forces who seek to strip away religion in America and implement the progressive agenda had enough of Mel Gibson. No longer would his wild exploits with women be accepted, or his untamed drinking–many of the things that made him popular in the first place. Now Mel Gibson would be called anti-Semitic by his political enemies and he will carry that label for the rest of his life. It’s similar to being branded on the forehead in a puritan community for adultery.
My political enemies attempted to use all these methods on me even at the local level to brand me forever as a “woman hater” because I don’t support the progressive platform of women. The evidence in my life clearly shows that I love women, but in the court of public opinion, that doesn’t matter. Progressives are not interested in facts, they are only interested in what advances their agenda and there is a double standard. They are allowed to cast any aspersion desired since many of them don’t have any value system that allows them to feel guilt. The same tactics cannot be used back at them, by the rules they’ve established, because they hide their individuality into a collective blob of mob mentality.
This disparity has occurred down the basic line of good and evil. Those who are good in heart and mind even if they are wild and crazy guys like Mel Gibson tend to care too much to play this game, and they end up playing the game poorly losing almost every time. The typical progressive does not have individual value—their values are in group assimilation—so as long as the group is behind them, they are happy no matter what coercion methods are used. But for people like me, or Ted Nugent, or Clint Eastwood over the years, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh—people who stand individually out on that limb and take the risk of it being cut off—they are vulnerable, and the progressive assimilation knows it. Individuals have no support structure.
Their methods have worked for over 100 years—that is, until now. What the collectivist progressives do not understand is the ability of the individual to stand on their own. Mel Gibson has shown that he could care less what people say about him and he is proceeding on. Ted Nugent is obviously not in the least rattled by his little visit by the Secret Service, and he could care less if Mitt Romney decides to play the pussy game of the typical conservative and distance himself from Nugent, even after Ted offered his endorsement.Such people are no different from Judas betraying Jesus showed so vividly in Mel Gibson’s The Passion. For me, I’ve been kissed on the cheek by so many “Judas” types over the years that I simply wipe away the lipstick with the same disregard that I pick bugs off my face after a long motorcycle ride. It simply doesn’t faze me, because I expect betrayal and weakness when dealing with collectivists. Those weaknesses cannot be allowed to set public policy any more. To fight the progressive you have to no longer care what they think or say. You just have to act authentically from the center of your own conscience.
And do yourself a favor—if you haven’t watched it in a while, watch The Patriot, by Mel Gibson. It is because of films like that—that he suffers now. So show your appreciation by encouraging your families and friends to see it again. Stand by those who stand individually against the waves of tyranny–because it’s not easy, and their actions are all that stands between freedom and serfdom for everyone else.
All this was fun speculation however I was a bit stunned when Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay took the speculation of that first moonwalk and used it as a way to introduce their fictional Transformer robots in Transformers 3. I would have thought NASA, Armstrong and Aldrin would have protested such an outrageous use of their likeness, but they didn’t.
Instead the movie came out, and the talk was all about how cool the Transformers were and how hot the supermodel in the film was, but not much talk went on about the strange events of that first moon landing. After all, there are many conspiracy theorists who believe that the entire moon landing was a fake designed to convince the Soviet government that America had beat them to the moon to demoralize the communist country. Being a fan of Spielberg for many years, I have an idea of how much money he has personally invested into the research of extraterrestrial life, and without a doubt he had access to detailed discussions with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin at some point in the past and felt comfortable enough with their statements to inject them into the movie he produced.
So I do not say it lightly when I say that most of what the modern human being thinks he or she knows—they aren’t even close yet. Our feeble grasp of our history, of our nature, and of our potential future is but a blade of grass in the vast never-ending horizons of the Midwest in America where grass can be seen as far as sight will take us. Humans have a lot to learn and it is our superstitions, religions, and fears of discovery that hold us back.
Mythology, which is another subject of mine that I study intensely, is formed in that attempt to bridge what we can rationally discover through a philosophy such as Objectivism by Ayn Rand and what we suspect is just over the horizon of thought. When we observe something that does not fit neatly within our senses, yet know that something has occurred, we are left to piece together the puzzle pieces logically, and logic does not take us to the door of virgin births, and gods who grant wisdom from unknowable places in time and space. Nor is the mathematics of Pythagoras in 490 BCE going to provide everything we need, because much is still unknown waiting for a philosophy to uncover the tools to detect more of the known world.
The human tendency to believe that everything has been invented is the approach of the living dead, the modern version of the zombie who uses Lao Tzu as a crutch to hide from the danger of adventurous knowledge and reside peacefully in a life of harmony, and contentment. Compared to where the human race should be, we are no more advanced than Thales of Miletus and his deduction that everything in the universe is made of water, which is true if the basic material of the cosmos is analyzed at one level of understanding. We know now that there is much more to the cosmos than these simple observations made in 540 BCE.
Within the year of this writing the news in the scientific community is ablaze with the discovery that neutrinos have destroyed the premise of Einstein’s equation E=MC2 by moving beyond the speed of light for the first time in human history. The media wishes to profess that Einstein was wrong, but he was not. He was no more wrong than Thales of Miletus; he observed the world and went as far as he could with limited knowledge. Within 100 years, quantum mechanics using sub atomic particles went further than Einstein could. And in 100 more years we will discover that breaking the light barrier with neutrinos is an archaic field of endeavor. We currently know that 72% of the universe is made of something called Dark Energy and another 23% is made up of Dark Matter. Only 4.6% of the Universe is made up of Atoms, the stuff we detect with our senses—only 4.6%.
I am 100% sure that our current government in the United States, for the same reason that religions desire to maintain control over their flocks, wish to deny science—to revert back to The Dark Ages–so that they can still be in charge, have maintained a level of secrecy against the public from what they have learned. They are motivated by the same trends Plato observed in his book The Republic in his cave allegory. Those who are in positions of power wish to keep that power due to a primitive desire in the human mind to maintain hierarchical relationships and such thoughts are a sickness. They stand in the way of mankind’s fate.
This is why I believe that Neil and Buzz discovered on the moon what they sought out all along, relics from a society either camped out in observation of life on planet earth, or an abandoned facility in a state of serious decay. I believe this is the primary reason that funding has been cut to NASA and we have never returned to the moon. The governments of earth wish to keep the spirit of human kind under their thumbs so to preserve the old order of stupidity prevalent for over 10,000 years. Earthly governments wish to keep mankind quiet for the same reason that Athens sentenced Socrates to death, because to the view of the Athenian government, Socrates was corrupting the minds of the young with his questioning philosophy. Socrates was offered to be exiled disgracefully, or to drink a fatal dose of hemlock in 399 BCE. Socrates chose the hemlock but lived on in his pupils first Plato, then the magnificent Aristotle who then instructed Alexander the Great.
We are no different now than we were then. A few minds think ahead of the social train of thought while everyone else lingers behind. When the rest of society catches up with those great minds it’s finally realized that everyone should have listened. A few hundred years’ later great minds like Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and many others are finally recognized for their genius by followers who are simply second-handlers and fill in their own lack of proper recollection with myth. And the frustration continues.
The gates of wonder are open, yet mankind fears to go in because we still cling to leaders to lead us! In America we rebelled to push these leaders away, and we created the greatest country in the world using the miracles of capitalism to drive a technological boom unheard of in the history of the world, culminating sadly in that space voyage with Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins. For the last 50 years America has enjoyed the technology developed during the NASA space race, but since Bill Clinton took office in the 90’s NASA has been dumbed down and defunded like the rest of society through a public education system that cares more for thoughts and feelings than adventure and scientific breakthroughs. This is done not to advance mankind, but for the kings of the hill to remain where they are, and to eliminate competition to their thrones of power. These days America is no different in their quests to throw off the shackles of political confinement than any other country in a global push for socialism. The motive was articulated by Plato in 340 BCE by the Allegory of the Cave which portrayed that the knowledge of the world is limited to mere shadows of reality and truth. And this is what our modern world is, mere shadows of a reality we do not yet have the courage to face.
Listen to Neil Armstrong in this clip at The White House in one of his rare and cryptic dialogs. This is not the speech of a conspiracy theorist, a con man, a hustler just trying to sell a new book. This is the voice of a fantastic test pilot who became an astronaut and had the courage to ride in a capsule the size of a car through the vast ocean of space to hit a small, unknown target. And what they found there was beyond human comprehension that is easy to see in hindsight.
If the human race starting with America could have the courage to tell it’s politicians to go to hell and shut the hell up—and get out of our way—we would discover on the moon the remnants of earths distant past, colonies set up to stage landings onto earth. We would also discover the means there of galactic, possibly intergalactic travel with technology that would make our discovery of the neutrino seem childlike. We would then discover on the planet Mars that Ray Bradbury was not so far off on his Martian Chronicles novel published in the 1950’s. There will be archeology on Mars that reveals great societies long gone and eroded away. Some of them coming to earth to settle, some of them trading with earth like America and China trade today, and we will discover that all this occurred over 100 million years ago and that these are our ancestors, and that the characters of Noah, and Solomon are our close relatives in the concept of time, instead of the distance figures we think them to be. We will also discover on Mars that some of its inhabitants left our solar system all together to settle someplace else in a cycle that is as old as time itself.
We will also discover that god is not out there in the heavens someplace or even on a distinct planet, but resides within one of the 11 dimensions that we are just beginning to get our minds around in quantum mechanics. These realities parallel our own existence completely in a complex pattern that can only be explained through the new rules of physics that show themselves at the quantum level.
But such discoveries will seem like science fiction always to the individual who seeks collectivism in a herd of cattle migrating through a bar or night club on a Friday night intoxicated and looking for a place to satisfy their sexual stimulation. They will belittle such concepts like amended ideas about the start of the human race, or technological breakthroughs that are easily within grasp, because they are living in a land of shadows, and are victims to the creators of those shadows.
It is even beyond comprehension to most minds that our current governments may actually be in present contact with extraterrestrial life, or are analyzing the documents left behind by such cultures that are kept locked away in private vaults peered at by those who wish to crown themselves kings. It would not be Presidents like Obama and the Russian KGB agent Putin who would involve themselves in these activities, because they are mere puppets to the hands of power that hold the cash they eat from.
I’m not personally interested in the shadows of our lives. I’m interested in what makes the shadows. To prevent investigation into their activities, the shadow makers have created the term “conspiracy theory” and other mechanisms to control speech and investigation, and alien technology falls under the umbrella of lunacy. Any serious scientific examination is discouraged either by politics or religious beliefs into the world behind those two facades. It is there that the real answers reside.
In my own life I have scrapped much of what I was taught in public education and in my 23 years of religious training on a quest to see what makes the shadows in our lives, and for me, it is easy to see the shadows everywhere, and many times I can see the shadow dancers in their true form as they cower in disgrace hoping to remain in the world of illusion. To a large extent that is what I report here every day at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom, my observations of the shadow makers and what their motives are—as the rest of society seems content with just the images of shadows. We talk about school levy problems, public education deficiencies, philosophy, psychology, world history, politics, collectivism versus individualism, and the art of living a good, healthy life. Many who know me here believe that I’m an old-school cowboy type who wants the world to revert back to the days of John Wayne’s America—which I do. But more than that I love science, and all the possibilities that are before us, and it’s not just an anger at the progressive institutions who seem determined to take America back to the Dark Ages and reject the traditional values of American Excepetionalism, but also in the rejection of scientific discovery in favor of archaic protections of beliefs that belong to the evasive second-handlers.
It is sad that America has not returned to the moon. But the fact that we haven’t says to the world that our world governments wish to remain the shadow makers. They do not want to yield their monopoly on our understanding. They do not want us to discover that they are useless to us, because the discoveries that sit directly in front of the human race are infinitely productive, and beneficial. And the world of tomorrow is not destined to be enshrined in tyranny, and social apathy, but in discovery, adventure, and never-ending quests to see the makers of the next shadow on the wall. This is the fate of humanity that has been concealed by our would-be-kings to ends of preventing mankind from maturing into a fully technological society no longer dependent on leaders and their disreputable arrogance.
It’s a world so far only seen in myth, but in the case of keen observation, the myths of our culture are closer to reality than the shadow makers and their governments who cover themselves in secrecy by the funds we all send to them. All we must do is declare our independence, cut the money which maintains the façade and embrace this new world that extends beyond faith, beyond convention, into the world of tomorrow and all its possibilities.
Myth reflects reality in the eyes of an artist. Many times, the keys to understanding a deeper concept is in our fantasies in the form of fiction.
World War III began on September 11th 2001 with the aggressive act of Muslim extremists provoked by many forces who desire to rule the world. Similar as to how Japan followed the aggressive tendency of Germany and Italy toward world domination–to be sorted out later, it is Russia, China, and the Muslim Caliphate who is seeking to do the same in our modern age.
I think I may have been one of the few people a year ago to state clearly my thoughts that the KGB had infiltrated our school systems, our government, and our media at all levels to bring about a slow erosion of the greatness that is America—not with weapons of war, but weapons of complacency. When I made those statements back in June of 2011 in a serious editorial, and much earlier with pure speculation, my thoughts about how aggressive American enemies were in destroying our way of life seemed more appropriate for science fiction than journalistic credibility, but as I watched a recent video by The John Birch Society about the rise to power of RT TV—otherwise known as Russia Today News, my doubts about Russia and the other American aggressors have been erased.
Through our schools, we have been taught to reject all value. They have placed every American into a straightjacket of doubt. They’ve taken away our war games on the playground by demonizing the gun. They’ve instead provided the distraction of sex to satisfy our aggressive whims. They have taken away our God, so to replace it with their own version. The Muslims have made it clear they will tolerate no criticism of their belief system and expect the world to bow at their feet or be destroyed.
This is a real problem. Speaking with people who tend to be radical Muslims is frustrating, since they chose to be second-handlers to rationality. They have allowed someone from a distant time and place to dictate their beliefs. It’s the same frustrating argument I’ve had with radical Christians who declare that there were never dinosaurs because they aren’t in the Bible. It’s the same argument I’ve had with Mormons who swear that Joseph Smith found the golden plates that founded that religion in his back yard. Or it’s the same argument that I’ve had with Buddhists who believe literally that Siddhartha Gautama fought off three temptations under the famous bodhi tree. All these forms of religion are a form of evasion which take the responsibility of discovery away from the second-handler who wishes for their thoughts to be given to their minds, not earned through observation and reason. Religion certainly has its place in helping a person understand the mysteries of their eventual fates, but the powerful dictators of the world have always used religion to club their subjects over the head into carrying out their tyrannical desires. Religion and its beliefs have been the cause of many wars, including World War lll.
It was only in 622 A.D that the prophet Muhammad performed the Hejira traveling from Mecca to Medina marking the start of the Muslim era. Ironically this is also the start of what is known as The Dark Ages, where religion attempted to suppress any knowledge of anything that didn’t fit their world view. Much like the modern radical Christian will reject science because knowledge threatens their belief system–such as rejecting that dinosaurs walked the planet, many religious fanatics in The Dark Ages believed that by denying science they could carry on the illusion of their evasion. Religious leaders encouraged this behavior because it created classes of second-handlers who were all too happy to allow a religious leader to think for them, and instruct them how to behave.
I’ve worked with several devout Muslims over the years and watched them do their prayer toward Mecca at certain times of the day and I’d ask them why the hell they were always on the ground praying. They would tell me that they’d hope that Allah would notice their obedience and that they’d follow the example of Muhammad, and that if I wished eternal life, I’d pray with them.
They would give me the look of fear when I declared to them that I don’t give my obedience to anyone—living or dead, of the flesh or of spiritual form.
“Americans, you don’t understand,” they’d tell me. I’d then remind them that they were technically “American” and that the reason there was separation of church and state in The United States was so that people could pray on the ground if they wanted to—or not. It didn’t have any bearing on the quality of an American whether or not they are Muslim, Christian, Mormon or anything else, because religion is not what makes an American. It’s the value that a person has that makes them American. Religion is just a reflection of value—it doesn’t “provide” value.
What is typical of most dictators is that they use “religion” or an idea that can unite a belief system into a limited frame of thinking and this is what is being done with the Muslim radicals and how those extremists were pushed into running airplanes into the World Trade Center—the symbol of the American economy. It is that act which caused America to destroy our Constitutional principals in pursuit of safety and spend ourselves into debt while the enemies of The United States licked their lips in delight as a hungry wolf eyes its prey.
China has worked with Russia before, so they are happy to continue their role of using their upcoming superpower status to buy up property all over the world particularly in the Caribbean, at the front door of the United States. Of course all these transactions are with smiles and handshakes, much in the way that Russia Today is catering to Ron Paul supporters to “earn” their trust, while actually planning sinister military maneuvers in the future. America can do nothing about these land purchases, because China holds such a large portion of The United States debt. Go ahead, read about it for yourself at the link below.
Americans have been trained to be second-handles, to be passive, to embrace peace, to turn the other cheek and allow our enemies to steam roll right over us. We’ve been trained by the enemy themselves, under the false flag of “peace” through the music of the Beatles, and the British Invasion, through the hippies, the racists, the feminists, the Neo Nazi’s, the religious fanatics, and the “academics,” to turn away and pass no judgment. “Judge not least ye be judged.” “Do not throw stones in glass houses.” “Turn the other cheek,” this is what we are told to do as radicals took our Ten Commandments down off the wall of our courthouses, and as Muslims showed their desire to build a Mosque on a “conquered territory,” (The World Trade Center Site) We turned away from our aggressors and turned on the television and watched Americas Got Talent. Our youth do not have the heart for war, and our enemies know it. American youth are more concerned about legalizing drugs and whether or not they can marry their same-sex lover, rather than thinking about Russia stealing away the American Constitution with subversion. Yes, many former KGB agents are sipping vodka and congratulating themselves on a job well done.
Yes dear reader—it has already happened and the enemies of America wish to cast the world into another period of The Dark Ages run under a communist flag. There is no question any longer, the intentions are right out in the open. The enemy has used the classic strategy from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War—they have prevailed over those who have already lost. America has already lost because it does not see a need to fight. The will to fight has been breed out of our young like a puppy neutered at birth, and they did it by infecting our minds with passivism. They did it by earning our trust then slitting our throats when we least expected it—metaphorically speaking. Just like those Muslim extremists watched closely by the FBI in Florida failed to act against the suspicious terrorists, because they were too passive, made that way by a radical religion who lashes out at anyone who questions their intentions. This is how airplanes were hijacked and lives were lost, and America attempted to spend money to solve the security breech when the real villain was our lack of ability to determine right from wrong in the first place. America hopes that the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA can do what we’ve all forgotten to do, and that is call a villain a villain. Americans have become evasive second-handlers because in just two generations, we allowed the enemy to destroy our minds, and our will to protect ourselves.
Manipulation of this magnitude is certainly within the realm of the KGB and even our own CIA. And the ramifications have already happened. The war has already started. Your town is already occupied. Your school, your government buildings, your White House no longer listens to the wishes of the voting public, but to those who hold their purse strings, and that money is no longer home grown in America. The new atomic bomb is not nuclear and destructive in its capacity. It’s economic and is aimed at devaluation of the dollar and crushing the standard of living for every American so that their will is broken, and that they will easily eat out of the hand of Putin, or The Muslim Brotherhood.
Yes, World War lll is already over a decade old. We just didn’t know the war started because we had our massive military ready to fight, we had our planes on the launch pad, and we had our missiles pointed where we thought the threat was. But the attack did not come from weapons, but from the destruction of the idea of what being an American is. And for that, no weapons are needed, just a corruption of our ideas, and a manipulation by the spies of the world who work on behalf of their governments—our enemies of war. Our enemies knew they could not beat us head to head in a military fight, so they used the oldest trick in the book taken from the pages of Troy—they used the Trojan Horse. But this time there isn’t just one enemy who has penetrated our ideological walls to get the enemy behind our lines, but many. And one of them is certainly Russia Today.
