The Power of Guilt: What Rush Limbaugh and Rich Hoffman have in common

Below is the link to the article of which this post is dedicated. 

http://westchesterbuzz.com/2012/03/14/lakota-anti-levy-figure-whips-up-controversy-on-blog/

When Rush Limbaugh called a Georgetown University student a prostitute on the air at the beginning of March it was several weeks after I had said similar things here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom about the type of people who attempt to make citizens who don’t want to vote for a school levy feel poor for not wanting to commit to further taxes. I didn’t mention anyone specifically, but alluded to a mentality that seemed to think applying peer pressure on their friends and neighbors in order to secure increases in school funding was appropriate.

Well my comments had been up for weeks, and clearly thousands of people saw them, and I personally didn’t think they were all that bad. But shortly after the Rush Limbaugh story shown below broke Julie Shaffer the new school board member and former tax levy advocate took sections of my comments and placed them on her Facebook page–and taken by themselves–without the context of the rest of the article, they sounded bad. So I put those articles on password protect so I could re-read them to see if there was any validity to the claims of my critics that they were harsh.

When I wrote them I was very angry, and tired of the criticism leveled directly at me saying that I “hated children” and that I was “greedy,” for fighting off the tax increase. So the text was more colorful than usual, but I still thought my critics were reaching, until I watched the news and saw where they got their idea from. Rush Limbaugh had just lost some of his radio sponsors and were protesting his show because of his comments and his enemies had him on the ropes. It became clear to me that the same type of progressive forces had just got in their heads to do the same to me.

The progressive mode of attack they use to protect their positions which cannot withstand scrutiny is to attack people like Rush Limbaugh whenever he says something they believe they can use against him in an emotional argument. Conservatives typically are terrible at playing this game with progressives because they tend to operate on a belief system rooted in the truth. So they can easily be attacked because if they cross the line, they feel bad about it, and that guilt is used against them to change their behavior in the future.

Locally I have seen this up close with the school levies. I have seen PTA groups work with principals of elementary schools to organize boycotts against businesses that have supported tax fighting efforts. The intent is not to allow all citizens of a community to vote their conscious, but to win votes, even if the method is arm twisting and extortion. Routinely those who oppose school tax increases are labeled as anti child, anti education, and anti community, and when citizens who do own businesses and are genuinely concerned about their taxes going up they are called selfish, greedy and destructive to the neighborhood if they oppose tax increases. The situation is so bad that there was even an effort to apply pressure to local businesses who opposed the levy by contacting the higher offices of some of those businesses to apply pressure on the business owners the next vote around. That is called “strong arming” the public and its wrong.

I have been categorized in all the ways above and more because I have been putting the focus of the real problem with school funding on the runaway costs associated with school salaries. The progressive political machine that functions behind the labor unions and is subscribed to by parents who just want their child to get what they perceive a good education have used boycotts, letter writing campaigns, and protests to apply pressure to anyone who opposes their plan. And that plan is to create budgets that always inflate and must be fed with higher taxes without opposition. It’s that plan that has made school boards only able to deal with 20% of their costs leaving 80% to be untouched which is ludicrous.

My approach to the levy fight has been to take on that 80% and I knew when I did this that the progressive machine would be very angry with me. But if the solution is ever to be fixed in public education, then the 80% of the costs must be tackled rationally. And this has made me public enemy number one in my community as far as those who support progressive politics are concerned.

Going into this fourth levy fight I have been reading the online boards and studying what has been said about me so I can get an idea of how to plan for the next levy attempt. The trouble is there are never any real names behind many online forums. It’s difficult to tell who is doing what and to trace back what’s behind them. So one tactic in discovering who your enemies are, and what they are planning to do is to provoke them to do it when you control the circumstances, instead of waiting till they decide to attack. So on occasion I will install dialogue at this site to provoke a reaction so I can study the behavior.

As predicted the forces who oppose me sought to take my words and use them in the same fashion that the progressive left did against Rush Limbaugh. It started with a school board member posting it on her Facebook account. Then it migrated into many of her supporters wanting to picket my house, wanting to run me out of the community, and wishing to declare that I was a threat to their safety. All these inflammatory comments were on the tips of their tongue and were prepped for the next campaign attempt. They then went to the next step of contacting anyone who might support me and put pressure on them to withdrawal from me, because I was not to be trusted, I was inflammatory, and a right-winged-nut job—to use their words. Then they contacted the papers to drum up articles about what a menace to the community I am, and they took excerpts of my words and are planning letter writing campaigns to our local paper to expose me. Of course their hope was to isolate me of my support in the community, by painting me as a radical.

From the inside and outside at Lakota I have learned that the superintendent has been sending links to this site hoping to turn the community against me. (I wonder if she has been doing this during company time.) But what she doesn’t know is that was my intention all along.

When you are fighting against forces who believe that boycotts, intimidation, peer pressure, and the dismantling of a school system to protect wages and benefits are good behavior, then equal force must be used against them, which is what I’ve done. But unlike Rush Limbaugh and other conservative and libertarian activists I don’t feel I should apologize. When I am told that I hate children, I take that very personal. It is one of the worst names anyone could call me. I consider it a very low blow, and I do not have any reservations of turning the tide against those name callers, especially when I need to identify the behavior patterns of those who are plotting for another tax hike. Now that I have seen that behavior I can adjust, and with the increased traffic coming to this site, those eyes will see the articles that those same angry activists hoped to avoid, such as the sex story at Lakota involving the teacher and the parent using the child as a vehicle, or the Laura Kursman $90,000 payout, or the fat double-dipping contract of the current superintendent.

Because the other side has dictated that using inflammatory rhetoric is the way they have chosen to play the game, I will oblige them with heavy doses of it in return. And I will use those words as a marketing device to bring people to the truth, so their eyes can see for themselves what our community is fighting for. You can’t fight a radical with a smile on your face and a polite nod. That’s how we got into this mess in the first place. You have to fight them the way they fight, and you have to be better at it than they are. Because in order for any community to survive, the radicals must be removed from games of extortion and peer pressure to cover up bad business practice. And this is the task that is before us.

Rush Limbaugh is using inflammatory speech to generate ratings for his radio show. I’m using it to bring people to the truth, not the same old people who read here every day, but I want the people from the other side of the aisle to join our levy fighting efforts. So I fanned the flames a bit to attract attention and bring people to the information that they may have been avoiding, because the truth is there for all to see. But they have to be willing to act on what they see, and not allow extortion methods to hijack their senses. The truth is more important to me than my public reputation, more important then having friends or supporters, or even having people wave hello to me at the grocery store. I’d rather get things out in the open so we can fix the problem instead of just throwing money at it to bury our community ten years down the road in debt beyond repair. The time to fix it is right here, and right now, and if some toes get stepped on and feelings get hurt in the process, then so be it.

I’m not interested in protecting the employees of a school system; I am interesting in protecting the community and the kids who are products of that community. Everything else must form itself to those two entities without compromise.

To those who wish to categorize me as a right leaning radical or Tea Party activists, the truth is that I’m a Transcendentalist in the purest form of the word.  Just to clear the air.

The Evaders of Lakota: Why our community, state, and nation suffers

The criticism abounds toward the creation of No Lakota Levy’s new group, where our tax fighting organization is helping to pay part of the school fees for kids struggling to come up with the money to play the sport of their choice. The critics say, “Why can’t ‘they’ also pay for kids in music, what about special needs kids, what about kids who need sign language? Why don’t they just pay the tax so we can have everything? What about busing? Why are ‘they’ so selfish?”

 

When these critics are talking about “they” it is the members of No Lakota Levy they are talking about, and our choice to pick sports as the object we would help fund because its programs like football, track, and baseball that carry the public image for a community, and that is what we are seeking to heal. $10,000 dollars is a heck of a lot of money to come up with to help kids which comes directly from people’s pockets. But the behavior of those critics is what articulates correctly the scope of the problem we are dealing with in regard to school funding, and in a greater regard, the funding of every program created under the umbrella of The Great Society, or The New Deal.

The lack of appreciation from these critics speaks that they have no scope, or understanding of the world around them. They are the classic examples of “EVADERS.” Evaders are people who chose openly to ignore the conditions of reality. They tend to use terms in sentences such as “I wish” instead of “it is.” They make a daily practice of evading reality. An example of this, which will upset greatly my Christian readers, is in the concept of religion. No matter what the faith, religion is an act of evasion. We ask our minds to accept on faith the concept of our version of God without any proof. We might read the Bible and declare that we will take it word for word as fact without any proof. This is an act of evasion, of evading reality in favor of a belief. This is why religion is such a volatile aspect of human existence. There are a lot of religions all of whom believe that their version of reality is correct, and they are willing to die to defend their version. This makes sense from their point of view because if their illusion of reality is stripped away from them, then they have no foundations upon which to exist, so they defend their religious views with much vigor, even without evidence to support their views.

The trouble with evasion is that once human beings open their mind to it once, for one thing in their lives, then they have a tendency to open it for all things. Again, when we are speaking of evasion we are talking about suspending logic in favor of blind belief. We are accepting facts that are not grounded in reality, but upon a belief founded upon wishes of how reality should be.

These are the people who typically make up the pro levy supporter base, and on a national level support President Obama’s notion that all things in government can be fixed with tax increases. And of course the easy target is always the “rich” because most people aren’t wealthy, so the target of reality is always on some horizon out of reach maintaining the illusions of the evaders. However, the evaders can only maintain their illusions if they deny the facts of the world around them, so they do not understand how business connects to residents, they do not conceive how their actions might put the corner coffee shop out of business because of high taxes because they are practicing evasion. These same people chose not to look at the senior citizens of a community who is locked in a fixed income, because the residents are practicing evasion in that aspect also, because the senior citizen represents “old age” which is something many middle-agers seek desperately to forget about. So they “evade” the reality of their own existence because in the back of their minds, they know their religions have provided them little truth and they fear what the truth of their own deaths might bring them in the future. So they evade the facts of old age by putting their parents in retirement communities and avoiding eye contact with them at the grocery store, because those senior citizens are facing immanent death, and can no longer evade reality.

A person asked me the other day why so many “gray hairs” were in the Tea Party movement. After all weren’t many of these people hippies during the 60’s era? The answer is that as time goes on, and life runs out, people can no longer evade truth. They tend to pick a religion and stick to it gathering as many facts as they can and root what they can’t prove into a general morality centered on goodness. Because goodness is a truth that extends beyond the reach of any religion and is generally agreed upon, so it’s universal, and senior citizens tend to base their religious lives not on silly facts written in a book, but on the concept of goodness. They do this because evasion will not help them at their age. There is no more tomorrow, there is only now and things must be fixed today.

Unfortunately pro levy supporters are at the beginning of this process. They have all the time in the world—they still have their kids to raise and then they have their retirement ages in front of them, so they have time to catch up in their minds all the aspects of reality that they are evading. And they are aware they are doing this. They drink, watch TV and pursue material wealth to help them evade their reality. These are the people who think there are no limits to taxes so long as they can get what they want. They don’t care how they get it; they only know what they want because they have evaded the conditions of the world outside of their perceptions distorted in the process of evasion.

People like Saul Alisnky whom the labor unions have used to help them hijack vast amounts of personal wealth, advance a progressive political agenda, and create legislation like what Lakota is suffering from, have used this science to their advantage. It is because of labor unions and their manipulations that a school board can only deal with 20% of its costs due to aggressive union contracts that have money guaranteed to its members from the community. They achieved this by playing on the human tendency of evasion, particularly those who are in the middle of their child rearing years, to use emotional arguments based on evasion techniques instead of reality. This leaves school boards with only extortive measures to utilize, such as cutting busing, sports, electives, and new teaching positions. The unions let the school boards take the entire public outcry while they hide in the shadows like cowards maintaining their evasive illusions, and that’s exactly what’s happening at Lakota. My anger at the school board is in their defending such a structure because they are guilty of evasion themselves. They know they have no real power to control their costs, yet they don’t reveal that to the community. That’s how they become union stooges. All the participants in this game are guilty of evasion. The school board in believing that they can just pass another school levy to give them the illusion of control, the unions in believing that if they just tax the “rich” more they can have infinitely high wages with great benefits and summers off and nobody will suffer. And the parents whose children attend the school believe the members of the community “owe” them a “sacrifice” so their children can become wonderful citizens while the parents pursue their own illusions of professional evasion.

This evasion process culminated late last week when superintendent Mantia told one or our members of No Lakota Levy that the Lakota School District’s legal team instructed them that the school board had no power to regulate their wages, that it was considered illegal. This is because of the wording of the union contract negotiated in the summer of 2011 where the teachers agreed to a wage freeze and elimination of their step increases. School Board President Dibble backed up Mantia’s statement in writing reiterating that sentiment. As I heard this news I thought, “Finally, they are at least admitting they are not in control. That’s the first step in grasping reality.” And I think that’s good, and I do not fault the school board members for such an admission. I only get angry when I see them evading reality. But the reality is they are powerless to the union machine, and they are finally admitting it in public.

The critics of No Lakota Levy have said to us directly and about us publicly that “The teachers have agreed to a pay freeze. They took a step forward.” I have said back both directly and publicly that it wasn’t enough, because it didn’t balance their budget. Those who participate in evasion believe that they are entitled to something I have, and believe that negotiations place them on equal footing with me and my friends in No Lakota Levy. It does not. The members of the union who constructed the labor contract which is dismantling our local government school of Lakota believe that they have given something, but they are not in a position to offer anything of equal value. It is the community that must give, and to the union members they can only receive. They have in their minds the evasion of reality and believe that their jobs are worth infinite amounts of money, and people who are also evaders tend to believe such a thing because they do not place value on jobs, people or ideas based on reality, but on their wishes.

But in reality, the world I live in, and the world of my friends in No Lakota Levy and the 18,000 voters who voted three times to defeat further taxes, we have sent a clear message that our value for their services have exceeded their worth and no more taxes will be tolerated. That message was given in realty, but the ears that need to hear it are practicing evasion, and as long as this continues, there will be a school district that will struggle, parents will be upset, and children will miss opportunities. But the villains are not those who say NO to further taxes, it is the evaders themselves who have allowed their lack of reality to control the world around them with neglect. In their minds people like me might be “evil,” “greedy,” and “selfish,” but such thoughts are only wishes and not grounded in reality. The opinions of those who evade responsibility of thought have no value in the realm of ideas. And their credibility will not be endorsed with time, and money since their thoughts cannot grasp reality, let alone the maneuvers available to move within it. Lakota is failing as a district, and the nation is failing as a country because of evaders, and their inability, or courage to face reality.

And that problem is a problem specific to the evaders, not the people who take the responsibility to live in reality. Ultimately it is the practice of evasion that makes people and their children suffer. To understand the scope of the problem and the real reality behind the Lakota budget this link below will clear it all up for you. It is this reality that the “EVADERS” are hiding from, and why our community is suffering.

The Courage of Jada Williams: Fighting against the machine

The reason I fight against the public school establishment and the money it takes to fund it is embodied perfectly in the recent harassment of Jada Williams, the 13-year-old girl who recently wrote an essay about Frederick Douglass and compared it to her own life. In Jada’s essay she stated, “How the teachers do not want children to exceed their levels. They want you to stay on certain levels. They don’t feel like they need to instruct you.” Jada is saying from the viewpoint of a student what many of us have always suspected, that teachers under union rule have become complacent and are more concerned about social reform of a progressive nature than actually teaching children anything. The story has touched off a national outraged after Jada won the Frederick Douglass Foundation of New York award, The Spirit of Freedom. Once she returned back to her school the teachers had passed her essay around and attempted to paint her as an angry child that needed help. Glenn Beck covered this issue recently on GBTV: Check it out.

The teachers using the classic Delphi Technique of building a consensus retaliated against Jada deliberately dropping her grades from “A’s” to “B’s” and attempted to use her mother against her by bringing the mother in to “counsel” that Jada was an “angry” child that needed help.

Well, all the behavior above is constant with many such stories and is exactly why public education is failing. Instead of the best of the best, such as Jada, being displayed as an example of excellence, she is instead harassed. People like Jada are frequently the targets of “bullying” in public education because the teachers subconsciously enjoy the behavior of bringing down those who show themselves as exceptional. After all, public education is not about teaching children to be the best. It is to teach them to be average, to not stick their neck up too high; otherwise it might get chopped off. Schools only use the talents of people like Jada to win tax levies in their districts, then once the money is won by the community children like Jada are tossed onto the scrap heep and abused until the school needs more money. You can see the actual reading of the essay here:

Lucky for Jada, she had a mother who stood behind her daughter and understood the game being played against her family and they fought back, which is how the story managed to break out into the national media. If not for this family fighting back and not just taking the bad behavior, this story would have been stuffed under the carpet forever.

This is certainly the case of the recent Modesto teacher who ran off with his 18-year-old student leaving his wife and kids. It was the mother of the girl who refused to take the manipulation lying down and took matters into her own hands with a Facebook campaign. If the mother hadn’t made a big deal about the matter, the school would have kept the teacher on the payroll and would have found a way to cover him. Because the mother unleashed a public outcry, the teacher had to resign from his comfy job so that he could move from a six figure salary into an apartment collecting unemployment. We’ll see how long that love lasts once the teacher’s wife takes everything he has and no school will hire the child molester leaving him to work in the private sector for 30-40% less money. My hat’s off to the mother for standing up for what’s right.

I can say that in my own district of Lakota I know of a family that experienced similar bad behavior on behalf of the teacher. The school rationalized that the sex was between “consenting” adults and circled their wagons to protect their own. The case ended up at the State Board of Education, yet nobody in the media covered it, and the school went into damage control because they were trying to paint a picture of excellence to the community so they could win a tax increase in a fall 2011 vote. It’s exactly the same behavior as what was leveled at Jada Williams. The staff and teachers treated the situation as though this particular family was the villains, because they threatened the sanctity of the education institution. You can review that case by CLICKING HERE.

What all these stories have in common is a lack of customer service. The public schools, (government schools) believe that the community exists to serve the employees. They have a similar attitude toward the public that one might find at the license bureau where the employees tend to treat the customers badly because they know the customers HAVE to use them if the customer wants to drive a car. The teachers believe that the parents need the school otherwise their child will be uneducated. So they treat the customer with little respect. However, Jada Williams is obviously smarter than those around her and the teachers know it. So they attempted to pull the mother into the scheme of things to put pressure on Jada to “fall in line.” Lucky for Jada, she has a good mom and knows that her daughter was being manipulated, that the grade changes from “A’s” to “B’s” were not because her daughter was performing badly, but because the teachers were punishing her daughter for criticizing the teaching profession.

The way to end this kind of tyranny is to call it out when you see it. Do not trust that the teachers have your child’s best interest in their minds. Do not assume such a thing. Hold their feet to the fire because they exist to serve you, the customer. They are in essence no different from a typical worker at a fast food restaurant. If you don’t like the way they make your hamburger, or if they get your order wrong, do you not routinely go back to the counter to have it corrected? And sometimes, you must do the same thing at the public school, because the employees are lazy and well protected by their syndicate union. The only thing that can protect your child is you the parent. If you trust the teaching union syndicate 100% of the time you are doing your child a disservice.

It took courage for Jada Williams to do what she did in her essay. And it took courage for her mother to stand by her side when the heat started to pour on. I wish with every cell in my body that every American were like Jada and her mother. If they were, I would have no need to write here, because I would know that people would do the right thing. But unfortunately Americans like these are few and until they are many, they will be held in high esteem and honored for their uniqueness, which is the actual tragedy. For a society to exceed, it needs many Jada’s. When they are few and far between, they can be ridiculed as being “different” then we have a democratic system that is ruled by the stupid, and that type of society will fail eventually.

It is that kind of society that we currently have, a rule by the stupid, because they rule in mass. This is why America was designed to be a Republic, so that the majority of fools built by public education could not run the country into the ground on the whims of mediocrity. But the smart among us cannot hold back the damn of foolishness forever. More Jada’s are needed! And more parents of such geniuses are needed to run the gauntlet of public education to protect their children from ineptitude and perpetual stagnation so that society can once again succeed.

Seeing Evil: Fighting against those who are agents of destruction

One of the least commented but most viewed posts I had last week was the Archie Wilson case. It seems to not be very surprising to many people that a commissioner would abuse his power to the extent that Archie did. I mean doesn’t everyone have a couple of prostitutes on the side that they supply cocaine to in order to have crazy sex with? Then—when they get caught, hide out-of-state and pretend they were in a drug rehab getting “fixed” for their “illness.” That illness is called—evil.

Well, I suspect that many of my dear readers here are suffering from little evils that are living out in their minds, and they do not feel qualified to cast a stone against it. After all, aren’t we told that we should not cast stones if we live in glass houses? Yet this is how evil lives and survives, with threats of destroying those who might cast a stone in its direction. This has left our society paralyzed against even identifying evil. And this is the topic of Glenn Beck on his recent GBTV episode. Check it out.

Do not take the position of not seeing evil, not hearing evil, or not speaking of evil. Because evil wants to remain hidden in our midst’s so it can consume our very souls. Evil wants to continue as it has leaving society paralyzed against it. But do not become seduced by its power. Do not be threatened by its fury. You are better than it is.

How do I know this? Well dear reader, because you are reading this. If you can read this without laughing, snickering or attempting to belittle it, then evil does not have your soul yet, and there is hope. So fear not, evil is not as ominous as it would have you think it is. Don’t be afraid to call evil what it is when you see it, hear it or someone speaks it. The agents of evil are not necessarily those who are actually evil, but those who remain paralyzed by inaction and guilt to stand against it. Don’t be an agent of evil. It’s a perilous path with an outcome that serves only those corrupt enough to benefit from not having a soul.

Mark Berndt–Teacher–ARRESTED: Feeding his semen to the students with a spoon

When I am accused of being an enemy of public education it comes from the same factions who sought to cover up the recent Mark Berndt scandal in California. When it was discovered that the third-grade teacher was blindfolding students, putting tape on their mouths and taking pictures of them with live cockroaches crawling on the kids and sipping on spoon full’s of semen provided by Berndt the first act of Miramount School in Los Angeles was to fire the long-time teacher, but to contain the story from the public so not to alarm the parents.

I have argued for years that public education is ineffective; it’s overrun by one political party, the liberal persuasion, and in spite of the increases in spending over the last two decades especially after George Bush’s No Child Left Behind act, the performance of children coming out of public education has not improved. The institution of public education seems to benefit only two groups of people in the entire endeavor, the employees who work for public education—it provides jobs of little real value and pays handsome salaries for a token service, and members of the Democratic Party who use the union dues to fund their political campaigns.

When a school system asks for more money with a tax levy the advocates will declare that the tax money spent on the school stays in the community and protects the property values. This is simply not true. The high salaries paid to teachers’ fuel the union dues that flow directly into Democratic candidates. So if you are a Republican or a Libertarian, paying a tax to a public school guarantees that you will be assisting the campaign of a Democrat. Public education has become an elaborate political scam ran by the teachers unions to extort money from the public with fear—fear of having kids poorly prepared for college, fear of losing busing and electives if a levy doesn’t pass, and fear of losing the property value of a home in the district. Everywhere in public education the arguments and complaints are the same, yet the situation is never fixed.

The same advocates for public education will point to the Mark Berndt case and say that he doesn’t represent all teachers, that he is a bad apple, and parents should not worry about their kids in school. Parents are not supposed to be concerned that Berndt was a 30 year teacher with no complaints on his record during that entire duration, except for a January 1994 complaint of touching a young girl.  Parents are supposed to not worry about all the times this teacher didn’t get caught, or the hundreds just like him working all over the United States that are currently performing similar crimes right now, unbeknownst to the parents of the victims. From my experience, I would say that the problem is epidemic, that sex abuse is going on in every single school in the country and is a severe problem that the teachers unions are doing everything they can to contain from a public relations stand-point. In my community I can think of two sexual abuse cases in just 2011 at Lakota, a school with an excellent reputation of academic performance and families of above average means. One was a teacher named Ryan Farhemkemp that was taking pictures of his children in a state of undress and had acts of child pornography on his school computer. He was arrested by the FBI. The second was a teacher who used a student to gain access to a mother whose father was on the road a lot. The teacher used knowledge about the family gained through the student to seduce the lonely parent. Both of those cases were carefully handled with public relations fees to sweep under the rug since the district was very concerned about the public losing faith in the district and not approving the tax levies they planned to present to the tax payers. Another case in Mason, the next district over from Lakota involved the teacher, Stacy Schuler who had bizarre and frequent sex with members of the football team at her house. She’s currently doing 4 years in prison. Ryan Farhemkemp is doing the same.

There is no question in my mind that this is an epidemic in public education. But why? Why is public education filled with these kinds of stories if only parents did a bit of investigation? Well, what makes public education different from other occupations is that public education is government work run by a powerful union. Public education has a monopoly on the education process and because of that monopoly do not have to compete for jobs, so their minds drift to decadence. Whenever there is a condition where employees make great sums of money, and teachers do, at Lakota the average wage is $63K per year in just raw salary, but the teachers do not have to work very hard to gain that wealth, then decadence is bound to occur.

It’s not that public education is not a noble idea. It’s a nice concept; however it is one of the 10 Planks of Communism that has been introduced by socialist leaning progressives under the FDR administrations and LBJ. It’s an experiment that has failed and should be abandoned in its current form. Academics have their place in society, but they lack common sense and should be not be made into presidents, politicians, or leaders of any kind. Academics as they are traditionally positioned are functioning from a faulty philosophy. The modern intellectual from the times of the Greek to present are at odds with the nature of reality and they are not equipped to instruct society at large. They can add ideas, but they cannot drive the philosophy of a society, because they are broken as a demographic group of people.

I have met hundreds, maybe thousands of these academics and many of them are good people, who are well-intentioned. But having good intentions does not equate to success at living. The teaching profession is plagued with weak minds at odds with their own existence. Academics are functioning from the same premise as they did in the Dark Ages. They believe falsely that it is consciousness that creates existence. They believe that they think, therefore they are. The static patterns of their learning and living do not allow for dynamics to change their perception because they believe that creation starts with their minds. This is why academics believe infinite amounts of money can be raised and spent on their programs, because they have no concept of the conditions that create wealth. They are blind to existence because they believe it starts with their thoughts. So the entire premise of their very lives is a falsehood leaving them completely helpless to advance society. This is the exclusive reason that with all the investments in education that American society has invested, with all the education involved in 16 years of learning, kids are no smarter now than they were 40 years ago. In fact, it could be argued that kids are less intelligent now than they were when children were treated like adults at 16, could drink at 18, and were working and raising families by age 20. The education class has advocated extended learning, pre-school and a parentless upbringing that has been devastating to American culture, and all one has to do to see it is open their eyes.

The teachers themselves since they are a broken group intellectually often live dual lives, the life they show to the public and the life they embark upon in their private lives. It is for this reason that we find a disproportionate amount of sex abuse cases among educators who are attracted to sexual promiscuity. It’s not that sexual deviancy is not prevalent among all human beings, but a person who has worked hard for 16 hours in a day to pay their bills is less likely to have the time to indulge in sexual decadence compared to the teacher who must only work 7.5 hours a day to make all the money required for their daily needs and the monopoly of education protects them from competition, so the academic does not have to spend their time and resources learning how to be competitive. The teachers’ minds are at ease to think about sexual fantasies because they are insulated from the outside world of competition. And these fantasies serve to bridge the gaps in their conscious reality as it conflicts with existence. Since their view of the world is false, the academic covers up this discrepancy with sexual fulfillment to balance out their lives with the reality of existence. Since they often discover through maturity that the intellect of their consciousness does not drive existence they often find themselves resorting to primal desires to balance out their disappointments.

I would say that most academics struggle with this in the recluses of their minds. Few actually act on them and Mark Berndt is one of them. His desire to feed his own semen to his students is a primal rage at his existence. Just as the woman seeks to consume a man’s semen, or not to, depending on her feelings about the substance, it cannot be denied that consuming the life essence of another human being has a shared quality to it that is often enjoyed during sex practices. For the pedophile they are seeking to fix something in their static patterns with their attraction to children. Pedophiles are broken at their foundations and even with their obvious social problems by breeching their trust with the youth, the pedophile is trying to fix themselves through sexual contact by indulging in a perversion to bring their conscious mind in accord with existence. The gross perversion is considered evil to those of us with a stable mind, but to the academic who has spent their entire adult lives without being challenged under the umbrella of monopoly, a perversion is actually an alignment to their reality. The extent of these issues permeates education at all levels. Just examine the Jerry Sandusky situation at Penn State for further clarification. These are not isolated instances, they are endemic among academics. All that is required is for American civilization to come to grips with this basic reality, to admit that there is a serious problem.

In my eyes public education has failed because most kids do not go to their local zoos with notes taken and curiosity on their faces. Many young people don’t even know how many planets are in the solar system. Young people are not ignited to live the adventure of life by observing existence because they are taught in public education that consciousness creates existence. They are taught to re-write existence which leaves the inquiring mind lost to true reality, because the mind is not seeking to observe the conditions of existence such as why a zebra cares for its young the way it does, or a spider spins a web between two trees. I know teachers, such as my father-in-law who have tried to show kids all these observations and ignite curiosity in them, but it is the system itself that is corrupt, it’s the monopoly of public education that fails, and individual teachers cannot overcome that opposition. The premise of public education is a failed one, and must be completely reinvented. I would say that it has little or no value in its current form.

Many will be sickened to consider how Mark Berndt could have done the evil things he did to his students, young minds who were placed in his care by parents who intended for their children to get a good education but instead were fed the teachers semen, the life essence of the teacher himself in a perverse game of control over the young lives of the children. When a woman does this for her sex partner under normal sexual interaction she is showing that she wants to consume part of her lover in the act. It’s an act of acceptance and primal urgency. This teacher through coercion and trickery behind the backs of the establishment itself sought similar satisfaction with these innocent children. It is the trail that leads to these evils that must be examined if we are to stop it, because public education paves the way for this behavior with their monopolies to create evil among civilization due to the lack of competition. And it is for this reason that public education should be dismantled and privatized with a whole new set of social expectations. Until that time, American society will continue to flutter along aimless, and perverted. Children will find themselves victims to the elderly who have lost their lives and seek balance with sexual decadence. The expectation among the youthful peer groups established in public education that make up the culture of children will continue to promote stupidity so that they are easy pickings for the predators of academia who are attempting to maintain their subconscious self-image of being drivers of existence instead of the observers of it. It is in that simple statement that many of earth’s current evils are committed and will continue so long as the public education monopoly is maintained.

To say dear reader that you are disgusted by this news, of the California teacher who committed terrible acts against the trust of the teaching profession is not enough. You must act in accordance with reality, one that is observed with logic and a history that proves faulty. Until you are ready to admit the failure and take a more proactive role in the lives of your children you will indirectly continue to feed the evil of men like Mark Berndt. So long as you believe that money will fix public education and employees being bought to do the work of a parent, these evils will continue, and you play your role in them through inaction. Being outraged won’t save the next child from this grim reality that has been constructed around the empire of public education.

Being Atlas: The art and importance of a motivator who carries all others

There are days when it would seem to a scientific mind that all the demons of existence have gathered conspiratorially in the depths of hell to plot against you. To my mind there is a way to explain with science the beings religion calls demons, but for the sake of simplicity let’s just generalize for the benefit of comprehension. When a load of bad news occurs all at the same time, I have come to reason that such things are not coincidence, but are in fact attacks intended to put a dagger in your spirit.

Negative news will ultimately happen many times in a lifetime, no matter how well one prepares. The randomness of luck and how it is distributed to individual souls is a science that exists at a quantum level. However, when several of those negative events line up within days and hours of each other, the randomness of chance goes down considerably, and is evidently an attack designed to throw you off your game.

Life experience has shown me to take such waves of travesty like a quarterback is expected to stand in the pocket in a football game and connect with their offense to drive the ball down the field as an aggressive defense takes a shot at you. The good quarterbacks routinely take the pressure with poise even if the hits are painful. Cowering under the pressure is simply not an option because the intention of the defense is to rattle the quarterback with constant pressure.

I have no sympathy for those weaklings in our society; those poor quarterbacks who buckle under the pressure. I have no sympathy for those who have bought into the notion that collective consciousness impacts existence. If it did, home teams in football games would overwhelmingly win as the roar of the crowd would affect the play of the quarterback with a force that disrupts existence itself. But that doesn’t happen. All a collective consciousness can do is make noise that is distracting to the quarterback and urge them to make a mistake. But they cannot rob the quarterback of their skill, or their determination.

I see the role especially of men in their families to be the ATLAS, the pillar which holds up their entire family and their structures, like the cool quarterback that must stand in the pocket and carry a football team. In my life I expect to hold up the whole world if needed to achieve the goals of my family. To me, a man should always put the world on their back and carry the whole thing if needed. So problems that come my way must always be taken in stride, there is no room for emotion, for second guessing. There is only making decisions and advancing one’s position, and if the ATLAS is in my hands all will advance with me. That is the task of a man.

Carrying everything on your back is expected, and ATLAS should only be placed off your back when too many within the family structure take for granted that they are riding for free. My expectation is that all are welcome to ride on my back so long as they don’t come to expect me to always carry them. I expect the males to strive to have my strength. And I expect the women to appreciate the strength itself. If they don’t then setting down ATLAS is the only way to shake them from their neglect.

My love of the book Atlas Shrugged is for this reason. It is the only book that addresses the condition of those who ride on the back of the strong as being parasites. And those in government to me are all parasites, because they do not carry anything. All members of government rely exclusively to ride on the backs of those who work, and pay taxes to exist. However, those in government believe with collective consciousness that they can defy logic and reason by wishing into existence the dreams of their minds. They believe that if they come to some collective consensus that the weight of that consensus will steer luck in their direction and solutions will present themselves. This is why government believes they can rack up nearly 6 trillion dollars in debt in a four-year period in the Obama administration, because they are not dealing with reality. They are dealing with collective consciousness and hope that their consensus will provide them protection from the rules of existence.

I do not have any sympathy during such times when I personally face an avalanche of negative news in a short time, with the full intent behind the demons to shake me off my support of ATLAS. Perhaps it is the demons that do these things to curry favor with the weaklings of collective intent, so to prevent them from studying what I do and following. For whatever reason, their frustration at my refusal to be rattled, to set down the world for my own self-preservation, or desire for an easy life, frustrates them noticeably.

The question has come at me recently as it has in the past, how much can one man be expected to carry? What is the limit? Well, the answer is, if the required task is to carry an entire family, then you do it. If the task is to carry an entire community, then you do that. If the task is to carry the nation, the world, the solar system, then you do it. If the galaxy must be placed onto your back, then the mind and strength of spirit must rise up to meet that challenge. If the universe cannot function any longer because the parasites are attempting to overtake it, then it is those who are strongest who must carry that too. It is the responsibility of man’s mind to rise to that occasion if required.

Drinking to numb the mind, hiding from the trouble with over-eating, taking drugs for depression are not options for those who carry ATLAS on their backs. These are the pillars of all society. They are the leaders of their families and without them civilization falls apart if they refuse to carry the world on their backs. Ideally, the world would be much better off if everyone carried their own ATLAS’s on their backs. It wouldn’t require overman with so much strength to carry so many if more would take responsibility for themselves.

But the demons do attack at the peripherals of our lives especially when an individual attempts to shrug off the collective consciousness of the weaklings. The guilt the weaklings feel rots their minds and they pray for assistance to protect their meager lives from the guilt of their lack of strength. So the demons come to answer the prayers of those lazy, lackluster beings who lack the strength or fortitude to carry their own lives on their backs, and look for someone much stronger to do the work for them.

I expect to carry those who are not as strong as I am. But I have little patience for those who don’t appreciate it, and think for a fleeting moment that they are my equal as they rest on my back and look for me to do all the work for them. I will do such a thing for my family, but I do not wish to carry the entire universe on my back willingly without harassment from me to them. They can pray for the demons to come to their aid, but my vigilance will not stop no matter how much pressure is applied. The parasites of collective consciousness will not be able to loot off the power of the overmen without advancement. Like the cool quarterback who stands in the pocket and takes the pressure, the efforts of the weak even in collaboration with each other cannot rattle those with the strength to carry ATLAS on their backs indefinitely. It is not peer pressure that will cause those of strength to place ATLAS back to the ground of reality, but irritation to choke off the lives of the parasites hanging on for a free ride who will suffer in the end, and this is the way of reality. A round ball rolls because it is round. Water flows down hill because of gravity. The run rises and sets because of the rotation of the earth. And the strong will always be more valuable over the weak because that is the nature of reality. Strength is gained by surviving the attacks and taking on more and more burden. Strength is built by not surrendering. Strength is not given out like Halloween candy. So no matter what the intentions of those collective consciousness types, they cannot change this fact, and will for all eternity find themselves dependent on the strong for their very survival. They can pass laws, they can call on demons, they can scream at the top of their lungs for attention, but they cannot change the nature of reality into making the weak the same as the strong, because they are too lazy to pursue the strength. And that tragedy is self-inflicted.

For my part, ATLAS remains on my back without fail, and will be maintained indefinitely. It will be so because I intend it, and realize that such a reality is within my power to guarantee. And that is the nature of reality. If the strength isn’t there today, then it must be built so it’s available tomorrow. We know to recognize the men of ATLAS in sports, Tom Brady comes to mind, Payton Manning is another. There are a few out of the thousands and thousands of athletes in the world who rise up to be so great. And so it is with all man in all occupations. The goal of all endeavors is to make more of these people, not less, and only by building strength and character by refusing to surrender to the demons of the world do we discover them. Because the strong are not built without opposition, so as a byproduct of tragedy, strength is the result. Whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. It’s an old adage, but it has truth regardless of repetition and stereotype.

Those who carry ATLAS can always be trusted.  They are always there and without fail, they will defeat their enemies.  If not the first time, the overman will eventually overtake the enemies once they have gained the strength to do so.  It is in tenacity that all is conquered because only the strong have the courage to utilize the tool of time to destroy the lazy and complacent who expect to ride for free in a parasitic quest to fulfil a fantasy that reality will crush 100% of the time.

COMMUNIST CHINA SEEKS LAKOTA TEACHERS: Please send Ron Henrich

Perhaps it’s part of Superintendent Mantia’s Global Education program, or maybe it’s just sheer stupidity, but for some reason, Lakota is promoting the work of Ron Henrich, a social studies teacher at Hopewell Junior School at Lakota and his recent trip to China to help teach there. You can read the story for yourself on Lakota’s website at the link below.

http://www.lakotaonline.com/news.cfm?story=2979

I can understand if Quanyu Huang enjoyed Henrich’s teaching to such an extent that he wanted to feature him in a book published in 2000 called Quality Education in America which was the number one best seller in China, and that has led to an invite to fly Henrich and his family to Beijing to teach the Chinese students and teachers how he educates in America. What I can’t understand is why a local teacher and a Miami University professor are so vaulted in China, a country of over a billion people, and a society that is notoriously communist.

Lakota for its part is obviously looking at its staff and picking success stories so that they can market another levy to the public for a fourth tax increase attempt and they see this relationship between Henrich and Huang as a successful one that will impress the community. Lakota is very image conscious because they know the merit of their services have almost nothing to do with their actual work, but the perceived value the community surrenders to their cause. In fact, to understand just how much thought Lakota puts into its public image, and what types of manipulations of the public go on behind the scenes, have a look at the obtained documents shown in the linked article below to read for yourself how the process of manipulation is conducted for perspective on this Ron Henrich story. (I highly recommend you read the entire document)

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/document-request-from-lakota-the-kursman-incident/

So knowing that Lakota is attempting to place a perceived value of importance on the exploits of Henrich in Beijing, China is a calculated public relations feature designed to impress the public–Ron Henrich, Social studies teacher is a star in China. Well sorry Lakota, but that is not impressive. In fact it points sadly to the truth that critics like me have been uttering for years now, that public education run by government is teaching American children too much of the values of socialism in a global push toward communism, and they are doing it with our tax dollars.

I see that the typical administrator and teacher in these public schools do not bother to look at the big picture. They are simply behaving based on their training—within the same system. I doubt when Superintendent Mantia or the school board President Joan Powell—and yes Joan is still the president even though the board has attempted to take the light off her by voting Dibble in as the new president—think about such things as communism, socialism or capitalism when they think of themselves in the center of that debate. They just think about government jobs created and obtaining revenue to pay for their institution. They get their teaching content from the Department of Education, and do not consider it their place to question those of “higher” authority. But I do, because I have to pay for all this, and I have made the observation that kids don’t seem to be getting the kind of education that launches them into a successful life. Seeking answer’s I have discovered women like what is featured in the article at this next link, who used to be second in command at the Federal Department of Education. If you care about this issue at all, you should watch every video on that link. (Bet you didn’t know half that stuff dear reader)

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/charlotte-iserbyt-do-you-have-the-guts-to-listen-to-her-or-would-you-rather-go-back-to-sleep/

So news flash Lakota—it is not a good idea to promote the value of your teachers as being stars in a communist country when the accusation by critics like me is that public education teaches too much socialism and not enough capitalism. China is at war with the United States right now, but just not the kind of war we are accustomed to with tanks and troops. The war we are fighting right now is an economic one and if Quanyu Huang director of the Confucius Institute at Miami University; specialist on Sino-American cultural and educational comparison is as brilliant as he lets on, he knows that virtually every executive, every government member and mind of strategy in China looks to Sun Tzu and understands the merit of that great literary classic, The Art of War, defeating your enemy without conflict. Huang and Hemrich might believe that their invite and embrace into the Chinese culture is one that is an innocent blending of the two cultures, American and the Chinese into a global attempt at peace where we will all hold hands and sing songs around campfires. I’m sure these two believe that if America would just let go of some of its isolationist principles and China would drop some of their communist tendencies then the world would be far better off. Educators believe that their participation in such education opportunities might bring the world peace, and Lakota believes that it can ride on the backs of these two to obtain tax funds to pay for their poorly negotiated union contracts.

But here is the danger….I tried to buy this best seller of Huang’s but was unable to find it on Amazon, this best seller in all of China in the year 2000. That means the book is out of print, which is odd for a best seller—by the way, I know just a bit about the book business—so a publisher of such a highly regarded best seller would make the book more available, especially if millions and millions of Chinese think local teacher Ron Henrich is such a star in China. My guess is that the Chinese government sees Huang and his work as being so close to the communist philosophy of China that this is why they have embraced his efforts by allowing him to be a guest Professor at Sun Yat-Sen (Zhongshan) University, and visiting professor of the Training Program for High School Principals at Peking University while maintaining his regular instruction at Miami University.

The Chinese want to learn how American public schools are able to control such large sectors of the population and they want to learn from people like Ron Henrich and Quanyu Huang. How does that make you feel dear reader? Doesn’t it make you want to get some Chinese food?

Contrary to what some might think, I am not against Chinese culture. I agree with one of my favorite generals of World War II, that China is a culture that should have been nurtured under American supervision. But, we let China slip under communist rule, and until China no longer embraces communism of any kind, I see them as an enemy of America.  I have a deep sympathy for Chinese Americans and I routinely visit several local Chinese restaurants because I admire the work ethic of the owners, and their courage for leaving their homeland to find freedom in America.  (For context read my article on Chinese communist occupation and the struggle for freedom there in the late 1940’s.)

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/18/the-flying-tigers-learning-what-america-is-by-looking-at-the-past/

So no Lakota, it is not good to promote this global awareness unless in so doing, the goal is to prepare our children for rule under a Chinese flag. Because that is China’s intention, even if the academics are too pretentious to see it. If the teachers at Lakota want to go to Beijing and teach, maybe you should keep that off the radar, because that is not an asset to the Liberty Twp, West Chester community. And you should consider it an insult that out of all of China and America, it is Lakota that is considered the kind of school that a communist country wishes to emulate.

If the Lakota School Board wishes to disprove my accusations as to their ineptness, political naivety, greed, and arrogance, by publishing the exploits of Ron Henrich and his close association with Quanyu Huang, then they have proven themselves beyond help. Communism is NOT a good thing, and collaborations with countries that embrace it is not something to brag about. It certainly isn’t something which mandates even more tax dollars from the community so that we can help fund the teaching methods that China wishes to copy for their own benefit in the difficult task of controlling over a billion people to march under a communist flag.

It is not wise to fund our own demise, then brag about it as though it were a benefit of great merit. To learn more about China, I suggest you watch this very good film by Richard Gere called Red Corner (1987). I present it here in its totality. So grab a snack and enjoy a peek into a country run by communists who are seeking Lakota teachers to help educate their society.

By the way, Red Corner is banned in China. You can’t even see it on YouTube. And the execution scene was real, provided to the director at great risk to themselves. 1987 was not that long ago folks.

The Mind of a Billionaire: What’s really behind the Keystone Pipeline

There’s a couple of ways that one might go about becoming a billionaire. One is the path of someone I consider to be of the highest caliber of man, George Lucas, who is an inventor, a story-teller, a historian and a reformer. To be a billionaire your influence must touch human kind in a life changing way for civilization and your products would have to be in nearly every household. This is the kind billionaire that is a great benefit to the human race. The other kind of billionaire is the investor who puts their money into others who create things that become household items. These types of men are George Soros and Warren Buffett.

To be a billionaire in investments would require very good inside knowledge and a ruthlessness that is uncommon to people who aren’t billionaires, so it is difficult for people to fathom to what extent an investor would be willing to pursue their goal of making money not off products they produce, but their ability to buy investments when they are very low, and selling them when they are very high. An investor who is a billionaire would also have to find subtle ways to operate a monopoly while making it appear as something less empirical. This might come as a surprise to some, but there are people in the world who are capable of playing many sides against each other in order to obtain a result that is desired by the ruthless investor.

Much has been made of Warren Buffett’s support of President Obama’s tax initiatives against the rich. Buffett has the President’s ear so intently on the subject that Buffett’s secretary was seated next to the President’s wife during the State of the Union speech. Now, I can’t claim to know what Warren Buffett thinks, but I am very good at ascertaining the intentions of a person, or a group of persons. And my take on the behavior of Warren Buffett is this—which I’m sure he will never confirm, he might deny, but the actions speak louder than all the words of the human narrative—Buffett has used President Obama and his looting tendencies to curry favor with the administration. In fact, Buffett is an economic advisor to President Obama so pretending to be on Obama’s political side by supporting an increase in taxes has worked for Buffett.

But why would Buffett do this? Why would he be so interested in drawing attention to himself and throwing his wealthy friends under the bus with tax reform? Well, Buffett made a deal a few years ago using his holding company of Berkshire Hathaway to buy the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co., which has more than 1000 miles of track in the Bakken oil field region. In case you don’t know why that’s significant—this is the oil field that is to connect the Keystone Pipeline to Gulf Coast refineries.

Buffett knows that because of Agenda 21, the President will be against the pipeline, and the oil that comes out of the Brakken region, but the Canadians are set to refine it anyway, because they want the money. So the president is willing to turn his head away, just as he has in Brazil because Agenda 21 is not about preserving the earth, but rather in withering away the wealth of the United States. So if Canada profits off of the Brakken oil fields, it’s an acceptable concession in perspective to U.N. Agenda 21, passed in 1992.

So Buffett has managed to secure his investment of BNSF in a deal that values the railroad at $34 billion dollars, and he has managed to detract the president from looking too closely at his interest in the Brakken oil fields by showing favor for the President’s tax increases. Buffett doesn’t care to pay the higher taxes he’s advocating, for one, because it will tie up more liquidated cash from his rivals and free Buffett to continue to invest his cash in their vacancy. You see, as Obama’s economic advisor, Buffett can target “the rich” who are Buffett’s immediate competition for investment opportunities by using Obama’s socialism training against the hapless president. 2nd, Buffett doesn’t care to pay the extra tax, because he will more than offset the cost in tax revenue lost with revenue gained. How you ask?

Well, since Obama announced that the Keystone pipeline would be cancelled, and the Canadian’s have declared that they are intent to ship their oil anyway, how on earth are they going to get that oil from those oil fields to a refinery, then sell the oil to China and other places with a hunger for oil? Yes—very good—you guessed right, by train. Warren Buffett’s trains of the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co. Buffett you see has made a very lucrative investment in the BNSF railway system not because he likes trains, but because he looked at the conditions surrounding the politics, saw that oil was going to flow from those oil fields, and he was determined to get in on the action. That’s why he’s a billionaire.

While the people involved in the Keystone Pipeline are scratching their heads wondering why Obama won’t support supposed shovel ready UNION jobs, they are the types of people who don’t know anything about Agenda 21, and they certainly don’t think in such manipulative terms that would require a billionaire to buy a rail road two years ago and protect that investment by becoming the President of the United States personal economic advisor. Such thoughts are science fiction to most people, conspiracy theories at best. The economic necessity is a no-brainer leaving millions of American’s frustrated and confused as to why they must continue to buy oil from the Middle East through the Strait of Hormuz, and not in their own back yards.

The goal of the global socialists, those of Socialist International is to destroy the United States with a smile on their faces while they embrace us in the chambers of the United Nations. (See my article on Socialist International here):

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/socialist-international-bringing-an-end-to-america-as-we-know-it-by-design/

While I know the pretentious, neurotic mother of a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old will scathe at my comments here and disregard them as literary engineering, the world is quite brutal, and different outside the borders of the United States, in that far away land beyond the oceans horizon. And yes, there are millions of people on planet earth who want to destroy America because they live with governments that don’t give them the same freedoms enjoyed in The United States. So they will not lose any sleep upon our demise. That is the role of President Obama, a puppet president to the philanthropist socialists like George Soros.

And to a billionaire, there are no longer nations. If they need a rule passed, they just purchase a congressman and a few senators to push it through. If they want to get close to the President so they can serve as an economic advisor, they just donate a lot of money then say all the right things like Buffett did with Obama and they can then gain influence to protect their investments. Specifically, in the case of Warren Buffett, who is actually so esteemed now with the Chinese, they featured him on state controlled television singing in the Chinese New Year surrounded by his model trains. Buffett displays here that the value of being an American has little mandate before securing his investments.  In this video, Buffett openly mocks the United States to Red China. Yes, he’s been working on the railroad!  He thinks the world is too stupid to put together all that he’s been up to just like Judge Doom in the opening clip.  (Buffett played this clip the night before the State of the Union speech, just as the Keystone Pipeline was turned down by Obama.)

No, these people do not care about the 20,000 jobs that could have been created with the Keystone Pipeline. No they do not want American to have access to cheap energy, because the goal is to choke America off in the pursuit of the mythical “green energy” while simultaneously using the higher prices to bring down the per pupil wealth of America so they are more equitable to the rest of the world. No the pursuit of the Obama administration and the intent behind Warren Buffett is not to create more economic fairness, but to advance their investments, Obama’s into global socialism, and Buffett into his railroads. The two of them are just two more looters off the energy and effort of the American people. They are part of a political class who think nothing of using us all for their sinister intentions. They sing to us sweet melodies with phrases like, “fairness,” “safety,” and “prosperity” to seduce us into a hypnotic spell in a plot to destroy ourselves while they profit off our stupidity. While we reach for our American flag, the looters will move on to the next target, and with their wealth gained off our naivety the billionaire will just purchase the next regime and use political greed for profit in the best investment on the face of the earth, human foolishness.

If you want to become a billionaire like Buffett and Soros, just capitalize off of human foolishness and you’ll be wealthy beyond your dreams in no time.

Lakota Preschool Program Proposal: The teacher’s union is in charge

It is truly frustrating to deal with a public school system. The same diatribes that America was forced to endure during President Obama’s State of the Union address covering the macrocosm of American life can be heard in the microcosm of public education. Government fails time and time again because they are functioning from the wrong philosophy, one that requires the looting of productive tax payers for the benefit of those who don’t produce so effectively. Government seeks to redistribute services so everyone has a fair shake, and the same blind intentions uttered by Barack Obama can be heard in your local school board meeting. At Lakota, my home school district, the tax payers have defeated tax requests three consecutive times, and I have covered the who, what, why, when and where about that issue so many ways that there is no dispute as to why further taxes are not required for that school system. For a review of those reasons please refer to this article:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/09/08/vote-no-on-the-lakota-school-levy-2011-all-the-reasons-why-and-more/

It is obvious that the current school board after moving around the bodies a bit have no intention to do what is required to meet their budget parameters, which are driven exclusively by excessive wage expectations by the school employees. And the public school, just like in the federal government uses the neurosis of a few out-of-touch parents to justify millions of dollars in waste in a subtle campaign to expand the reach of the public school and its reach into the sanctity of the American family. As Lakota attempted to reconcile some of its staggering cost overruns driven by very high wages negotiated under a union contract, the superintendent has proposed to re-organize Preschool responsibilities with the Butler County Educational Services Center which could eliminate 42 teaching positions at Lakota and create a savings of $1.2 million dollars. So parents, upset with this announcement are speaking out. They want this “Head Start” program intact for their children ages 3 to 5. To make matters worse, the parents want teachers to possess B.S. or M.S. degrees to perform basically a day care task. These parents want these things because they don’t have to pay for them, but instead were told by their real estate agents upon buying their homes that Lakota offers all these services, so the expectations are there in these young parents.

As I consider what people like Holly Emch mentioned in her interview with Channel 9 News I have to wonder how Lakota got into the business of teaching pre-school kids in the first place. I didn’t think public education began until a child turned 5 and went to kindergarten. Lakota can save $1.2 million dollars just by merging with basically another day care service? Why are tax payers required to pay for day care? Shouldn’t the burden fall on parents like Holly to care for their own child? Don’t these “head start” programs skew the numbers required to provide a community’s kids with a proper education? YES!

Hey, it’s nice to be able to provide day care for parents like Holly. But it isn’t so nice if the cost comes at the expense of the elderly, or those who are barely hanging on to their home. Or a business owner who is trying to figure out if they have to increase their prices to cover their taxes. The schools are pretentious in believing they are the most important characteristic of a community. In fact, they are so arrogant that distinguished members of the school system who also sell real estate for a living, have filed complaints against members of our tax fighting group No Lakota Levy to the Board of Realtors in hopes that the BOR would force those tax fighters to withdrawal their support, and shut their mouth. Real Estate agents who are pro levy, and there are many who are close to the pro tax increase push behind Lakota, want the easy sale. They want to tell a potential home buyer, “There’s nothing wrong with Lakota. All is good. Buy the house. Great schools, great community support, and there is pre-school care for your child.” These real estate agents won’t tell the potential buyer that Butler County had the highest foreclosure rate in the state of Ohio in 2011. Those types of people are the ultimate looters. They care nothing for what happens to their customers once they buy a home they can’t really afford once they find out the taxes on their property will put them out of the house within five years. Those real estate looters will be in a Florida condo 5 years from now, so they don’t give a damn what happens down the road from their looting nature. But if No Lakota Levy messes with their easy money, they will do everything in their power to bring down those individuals, as is evidence by the complaints at the BOR.

I see all these members as disgustingly parasitic. They are leeches to our community and I see the work of combating these looters as a benefit to the wealth of our district of Lakota. I see fighting these moochers as preserving that wealth for the future, because if we yield to them we will end up as screwed up in our communities as the federal government is, and we don’t want that.

Upon this announcement The Cincinnati Enquirer interviewed me for my comments. I gave a frustrated response to the questions which can be read here. The answer to Lakota’s budget trouble is rather easy.

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120123/NEWS0102/301230155/Lakota-preschool-may-merged

The school board members, the superintendent, the real estate agents who work to push for another school levy will all say that it is the federal government that has given them the legal requirements to supply programs like “Head Start” and many other mandates. But as they make such statements Lakota is targeting the 14.6% of kids in the preschool programs that are possibly eligible for federal Head Start dollars, so it is the money grabbing efforts such as this which put the federal government into the ear of the administrators and take away their ability to manage their costs. Between the labor union and the federal government, the school administrators find themselves drifting on a rudderless boat down a swift moving river, completely unable to control their direction as proven in these actions.

Even when Mantia and company attempt to control their costs, their efforts to obtain more federal money, and cut immediate costs with this merge with the Butler County Educational Services Center, the union still has final say on everything that happens. For proof all one has to do is examine the Preschool Program Proposal provided by Lakota and study appendix C of that document. On that list even with the proposed cuts the union demands 11 positions be filled totaling $339K per year that must be staffed by their people. Ultimately this is the real villain of public education and the element that must be removed from it before a district can ever have a serious discussion about funding public education.

At some point Ohio will have a Right-to-Work amendment to our Ohio Constitution which will break up the union monopoly forever. This will happen because Indiana is going to get it, and Ohio will have to follow to remain competitive economically. Once the unions no longer run our public schools, we can then see how much money education will really costs. But not until that time should any additional funds be allocated for public education under any circumstances. Because it is obvious that the school board and administrations have no control or courage to even ask the labor force to take a 5% cut to save those 42 jobs that are in jeopardy. I know a portion of the teachers of Lakota are willing to take a pay cut, because I asked one of them on 700 WLW, and they said in the affirmative, “Yes I would take a pay cut to save the jobs of teachers.” Listen for yourself.

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/rich-hofman-is-an-idiotlooters-of-the-forest-hills-school-levy/

Yet the school board and superintendent won’t even ask the question—why? The answer is that it is the union who runs the Lakota School District, not the administrators, not the school board, and certainly not the superintendent. It is the union who controls the employees, our children and our property values. They are like a cancer that if removed too suddenly might kill our bodies so we find ourselves blasting ourselves with chemotherapy in an attempt to rid ourselves of the increasing taxation of costs driven exclusively from a parasitic labor union. Cutting early child care programs that are actually the responsibility of the parents are suddenly a crisis to the neurotic mom so busy in her life that she expects the community to raise her child. And to garner tax increase in 2012 rather than deal with the real costs, the Lakota School System would rather disguise a cleaver extortion tactic, which is what all this amounts to, in a campaign effort to gain more revenue for their looting tendencies.

For all these reasons and more articulate why I am disgusted. It saddens me to know that I am much more correct in all my accretions than even I fantasized about in speculation. Because the actions of this school board show clearly what the real intentions truly are for the Lakota School District in 2012, and that is simply to ask for more money to cover their lack of management ability, and courage in sticking up to the unions and protecting the taxpayers. Each one of them acting in this fashion should be ashamed of themselves for knowingly playing this dangerous game that will prove detrimental and short-sighted to the greater community surrounding these public schools and how their lack of courage and skill will affect the lives of thousands.

The Obama Folly: A famous mouse and Rich Hoffman visit the Clarkcast

The President’s speech during his annual State of the Union address would have been a good one if only there were value behind the words. Obama’s deeds over the last three years have spoke volumes as to his true intentions, so the well delivered lines spoken to millions of citizens on January 24, 2012 were merely those of a well rehearsed actor speaking lines given to him by his superiors—those who pay him money. Recently Matt Clark of the Clarkcast radio network http://www.clarkcast.com/ read portions of my article about Obama shutting down Disney World just one week prior to this address on his radio program where the real nature of this president was revealed at that event. You can read that article here:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/main-street-u-s-a-closes-barack-obama-does-what-he-does-everywhere/

The value of Obama’s words in his speech has equal value to the act Matt did in the video below where Mickey Mouse called in to comment on Obama’s visit. In fact not only did Mickey call in, but Goofy too as they reacted to Obama shutting down Main Street USE in Disney World to give a self-serving political speech that was but a prequel to his State of the Union address. Now, of course Mickey Mouse did not actually call but was in fact played by Matt Clark as he essentially had a conversation with himself playing both roles. It was a very cleaver bit of radio, but more importantly, it shows how something that is just an act for fun, can sound so real. Just like Obama’s State of the Union speech. Obama is just a character in the game of politics, like Goofy in this skit below. Both are made-up characters who didn’t read their email properly.

The gist of the entire State of the Union speech is one to justify raising taxes. Obama is simply on the same level as every government organization who knows of no other option but to raise taxes to pay for their looting programs. What Obama doesn’t want to hear, or the hands up his ass that move his mouth, is that the real problem is not in raising taxes on the rich to “pay their fair share” but in questioning the value of the programs the looters intend to fund. Who says the tax requirements as they are now are justified? I don’t want to pay for The Department of Education. I don’t want to pay for the EPA. I don’t want to pay for a Justice Department that acts as character assassins for the President of the United States. In fact I don’t want to pay for all those lowlifes gathered on the House floor. I would argue that everyone gathered in the House chamber could have been ejected from government office and life in America would continue the next day, and the day after without any difficulty. All those government employees are non-essential, and to me are but looters of tax money. They provide nothing of value to the United States. With each law they pass, they take America further away from the Constitution, so every day the government is in session, they destroy America just a bit more. So why do we need them, and why do we need to pay higher taxes to pay for useless positions and programs? The even playing field Obama was talking about in his State of the Union is essentially socialism, even if he doesn’t call it that.

If socialism is too harsh of a word, then let’s call it soccer. Obama wants American business to function like a soccer game as opposed to football. The reason American’s don’t take to soccer the way the rest of the world does is because soccer seems to be enjoyed most in socialist leaning countries. In soccer, the forwards cannot be behind the fullbacks when the ball is kicked up the field. The intention of the rule is to keep the ball from being lobbed down the field by a powerful kick and giving the offense an unfair advantage over the defense. American footfall on the other hand which represents capitalism, encourages speed and if a receiver can beat a defensive back to get wide open, it is expected for the quarterback to make a deep pass over the defense to score. Obama wants America to embrace soccer, and therefore an economic system that reflects that game, which is pretty boring, low scoring, and entails watching a ball bounce around a field aimlessly for a couple of hours.

This is the America of fairness Obama is presenting in his speech. He wants to make sure forward thinking people will be declared offsides if they have too much speed and ambition to get behind the defense of U.S. regulation, or in other words—the defense. This is also why Matt Clark had me on his show to discuss the folly of Obama’s intentions to promote tourism in America by shutting down the most successful amusement park on the face of the planet. Matt and I discussed at great length the misplaced notion that political looters in our society are made up as celebrities, and that because of that status can actually displace thousands of paying tourists just so the president can stand in front of the castle in Disney World and give a speech. I argued that the executives at Disney should have refused the president, because Obama is not a king, or even a noble. He’s merely a public servant.

The confirmation that everything Matt and I said in our broadcasts could be seen before and after the State of the Union speech. Jean Schmidt who I’ve talked about here publicly declaring that President Obama is a president that has failed, made sure she was in the receiving line whispering to him on his way in. And on the way out, she was there again to get his autograph, just as many congressmen were doing from both political parties. Before the speech Speaker Boehner was hugging Joe Biden in spite of the fact that the VP and the President had bypassed congress to create a whole new branch of government in the appointment of Corday. Heck, I was at Boehner’s office just last week making the case for why the Speaker should move to impeach the President. And here they were just a few days later hugging, smiling and shaking hands. The State of the Union was simply a copy of Hollywood’s Academy Awards ceremony. The looters of government have watched how Hollywood presents material and they have copied it.

Washington has made the president into an actor and the State of the Union is simply a ceremony where the culture of Washington D.C. gets together, signs autographs for each other and displays their skills of acting for the public to see. But nothing about the State of the Union had anything to do with fixing problems in America. Obama attempted to use his skills as an actor to declare he loved the American Flag, that he wasn’t a socialist, and that he did not want to dismantle America.

He gave a speech intended to confuse everyone and trick them into giving him more time to give America soccer instead of football—socialism instead of capitalism. But all anyone has to do is look at the actions of these characters, these actors who, just as Matt Clark did in his impression of Mickey Mouse, played the role of a character in political theater. Politicians simply play their part; they do not back up their words with actions. They are actors as lost and confused as the Hollywood community because both groups believe in the seduction of celebrity over the valor of conviction. Our political body is made up of poor quality characters who are good actors for the cameras but lack any personal beliefs leaving their actions to be defined by the puppet masters who control their purse strings. With all that said, I would vote for the kid who dresses up in a Mickey Mouse costume at Disney World in Orlando for president because at least I can look at the costume of Mickey Mouse and have more faith in the authenticity of that actor as opposed to the actor that is Obama. Because the modern politician doesn’t just wear one costume to hide their true identities, but several, so many that the only way we can discover the intentions of these actors is to study their actions when the cameras aren’t rolling. I do not want the America of these actors, of these fair-share advocates, these sleazy salesmen who want to replace our American Football with global soccer. I do not want to pay for them with my taxes. I do not want their social programs. I do not want the country they wish to advance with their smiling faces and their hand shakes. Taxes should not go up, but the revenue demands must go down. And the American people must recognize that politicians are not even celebrities of worth because they don’t even make a movie that at least brings joy to the human race for a two-hour film.

The politician brings nothing but lies, and are utterly worthless, and must be overhauled in the minds of America for what they are, based on what they do, and not on what they say. For more on this sleazy salesman proposal read my detailed article on the concept here:
