Production Notes: Tail of the Dragon and Daisy Duke

For my local and national readers I invite you to be a fly on the wall for this article, because it is directed at my publisher and all the employees who are working very hard to make my new book Tail of the Dragon a reality.  My editor did a phenomenal job in delivering back to me the manuscript on its second, and most extensive edit, and for putting this project on track for our summer 2012 release date.  The amount of work she did in just three weeks is astounding as I reference the voluminous notes and extensive edits. I was hoping to get this manuscript back during the first week of 2012, but she pulled off the great feat of gaining almost 8 production days, which is tremendous and much appreciated. 

I received contact from the art department over the weekend which is the purpose of this brain-storming post, to help pull into focus the marketing efforts at this stage.  Even though the subject heading for this novel is Philosophy, the story itself is unmistakably about the philosophy of freedom—what is it, how do we get it—and how do we maintain it.  It’s also about why some factions of human society do not want us to have it.   

So in keeping my mind focused while writing Tail of the Dragon I thought often of the old TV show the Dukes of Hazzard and contemplated often why millions of Americans to this very day feel something special for the car in that old show, The General Lee, the 69 Dodge Charger made famous by the TV show.  Even though the show has been over for over 20 years, thousands still show up to see it in person, and to see it jump through the air in live stunt shows like the one below. 

Admittedly the subject matter of the Tail of the Dragon is quite serious at times, but I will admit that I watched this movie preview often while writing the story to keep my mind focused on how the book should look in the mind of the reader.  I tend to be a serious person by nature, so thinking about the latest film version of The Dukes of Hazzard released in 2005, which wasn’t a successful undertaking by Hollywood standards, there were many things that the production did right, and this preview captures many of those aspects wonderfully and I think more represent the tone, pacing, and feel of what Tail of the Dragon is all about, than what ended up on-screen in that film remake. 

As we have discussed in great detail, and what has come up in this latest, and final edit of the book is the need to get to the meat of the story quicker, because the plot essentially takes place during the entire car chase.  All the thematic elements of this story require the car chase to play out in the plot development.  As it is currently written, the characters in Tail of the Dragon have declared that they will do whatever it takes to obtain freedom, so in a society that has so many rules that limit that freedom, a fleeing from those rules is the prime ingredient, so we have successfully taken a car chase that was 50% of the story and took half the book to get there, and incorporated it into the end of the first third of the book at approximately the 30% mark.  From that point much of the story including character development is revealed at speeds over 100 MPH through city streets, back yards, highways, dirt roads and countless roadblocks and police attempts to stop the car.  In conceiving this very action oriented chase I again referred to this scene from the same Dukes of Hazzard movie of 2005.  The action and pacing in this scene is very much how most of Tail of the Dragon will be presented in the mind of the reader.  Our book does have a share of comedy, but much of the dialogue will be presented in a thriller type way.  Much of it is about serious topics instead of the childish slap stick seen here between Knoxville and Scott.  But the style and carefree rebellion of this scene is very much along the line of thinking in Tail of the Dragon. 

I focused this story in the southern states of Tennessee and North Carolina because unlike other parts of the United States, the people in these southern regions have a love for freedom that I think many in America are looking to understand in themselves no matter where they live.  When the Dukes of Hazzard film came out, many in the south were very upset with the production, because they felt the new movie isolated the old cast members who are still held in very high regard all over the south.  I believe the reason was that there has been a tendency especially in modern Hollywood to poke fun at southern culture, and the Dukes of Hazzard as a film was trying to pay homage to a popular television show.  The result was a film with great action scenes that played out like a Jackass film, and much of the heart of what made the Dukes of Hazzard popular was left out of the movie.

But the iconic role of the General Lee in the form of a car as a pursuit of modern freedom has extended from generation to generation in spite of the political attempt to paint southern culture as illiterate, racists, and backward in every fashion.  I think it is evident that people all over America are beginning to see through this obvious political posturing that has spilled over into entertainment.  But when the marketing for the Dukes of Hazzard movie put Jessica Simpson into a music video washing that famous car in a bikini, I can see that they had at least an idea of what America is hungry for in entertainment, and an understanding of the uniquely American philosophy of freedom. 

My biggest complaint in that video is that the doors to the General Lee do not open.  Simpson should have had to crawl through the window like drivers in NASCAR do, because that was one of the features of the General Lee car, that the Duke boys had to climb in and out of the car through the window because the doors were welded shut.  But the rest of the video is dead on to what makes southern culture uniquely freedom loving.  While the modern progressive viewpoint of this video would say that the video is sexist, that the Confederate Flag on top of the car is a reference to racism, and the video portrays an America where a bunch of beer drinking good ol’ boys are fighting for no apparent reason, the imagery is uniquely American and can be seen at events all over the country, particularly in Sturgis, South Dakota at the giant motorcycle rally that happens there every August. 

But the General Lee and the southern breed of woman known as “Daisy Dukes” is a culture aspect that is stronger today than it was 30 years ago when the show first aired.  I see that it’s even stronger now than it was ten years ago as seen in this next video. 

There are millions of Americans and probably citizens of other countries such as Australia, Germany, and Great Britain who I believe are curious about our American idea of freedom and the right to express it, and southern culture in America is uniquely poised to provide that export of philosophy.  So in our cover design and the next steps in the quest to bring Tail of the Dragon to the public by the second or third quarter of 2012, I see that it is our task to capture that freedom in a bottle to provide to the readers who seem hungrier than ever to understand that inner quest for personal liberty. 

I am confident now that I’ve seen the second edit and it is now in my hands once again that we are uniquely positioned to capture on the pages of literature the greatest car chase in the history of imagination, in a race that begins at the White House and ends with a definition of what it means to be free.

The Flying Tigers: An age of greatness that must return

In the picture above that is me in the fifth grade during 1979 right after the epic soapbox derby race that was a cliffhanger to the very end. My car stole the hearts of the spectators who witnessed that event on a hot summer day that year. But what many didn’t know or understand was how important to me that saw-toothed mouth was painted on the front of my car. As you can see dear reader my experience with the media goes back quite a few years and if you work at it you might be able to read the story of that spectacular day by enlarging the photograph of the article. The car itself was named The Beast because that was the year that Kings Island first opened their signature roller coaster which I instantly fell in love with. But the mouth on the front was from my favorite airplane in the Aerospace Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.  Now before we continue on dear reader I ask for your attention and patience.  Take your time with this.  Read it all and watch the videos.  You will gain vast insight into what is happening around you to this very day.  What you will learn here will equal dozens of hours of college level history.  So Please make use of it!

My love of the P-40 Warhawk displayed so valiantly in Dayton goes back as far as I can remember, and I can vividly remember things from when I was 1 and 2 years old. The P-40 Warhawk was the signature plane flown by the famous Flying Tigers AVG group led by General Claire Chennault, a man I have always felt an affinity for. Chennault was a brilliant strategist, a natural leader, but was extremely abrasive to his superiors often participating in open conflict with them. These disputes with his military superiors led him to resign from the United States Army Corps with the rank of captain in the year 1937 after a rather brilliant career as organizer of the 1st Pursuit Group of the Army Air Corps acrobatic team the “Three Musketeers” where the group performed in the National Air Races. Later he became the pursuit aviation instructor at Maxwell Field of a team named “The Men on the Flying Trapeze.” Chennault had developed the rare ability to master strategy without compromising American horse sense a talent that infuriated his superiors, so he quit the Army.

But that wasn’t the end, Chennault would become far more famous and valuable as a special advisor to Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek of China as that country attempted to protect itself from the Japanese who were in the late 1930’s attempting to overrun China on a quest for natural resources. And to the north of China was the communists who were heavily funded by the Soviet Union and instigating a civil war within China. The situation was remarkably similar to what the United States would find itself in during the start of the next century where outside interests like George Soros is funding aggression against the United States indirectly while we are openly fighting enemies in Iran, Afghanistan and the invisible enemy of terrorism.  It’s a standard divide and conquer act by two enemies who work indirectly together for the mutual aim of destroying a rival.  In this case China was the target of both the communists and imperial Japan so they worked together to crush China from two fronts.  Sadly we all know that eventually China would be overrun by communism which it remains to this very day. In 1951 Chennault testified before the Senate Joint Committee on Armed Forces and Foreign Relations about the reason China was lost to Communist forces in 1951. Chennault after all his heroics in China during World War II had warned President Roosevelt and President Truman directly about the dangers of communism heading into China at the close of World War II, but both presidents were only focused on beating Japan, and it was their short-sighted commitments that caused the United States to pull out of China once the Japanese surrendered which led to the communists to surge in and overtake the government of China.

Sun Tzu to the Chinese is probably revered more highly than George Washington is to the United States. Chairman Mao used The Art of War to defeat Chiang Kai-shek. Chennault had worked closely with Kai-shek to hold off communism in China, but weak US policy after World War II lead to Mao taking over the country in 1949. Chennault warned of the possibility of future war with China in his WONDERFUL book Way of the Fighter published in 1949. In that book, which is now considered a rare book, Chennault predicted the trouble with Korea and Vietnam years before they occurred. The testimony did not sit well with the government, and they failed to act on Chennault’s warnings leaving China to wither under communist control which the United States would pay for dearly over the next 60 years.

To paint a picture of what that communist takeover was like for the people of China, which Chennault had fought so hard to prevent you can read vividly the description of events that occurred in the great book starting on page 505 of Joseph Campbell’s masterpiece called Oriental Mythology, published in 1962 and was part of four books he spent 12 years writing; he chronicles the beginning of communism in China quite startlingly. What follows are direct quotes from that book which is remarkably similar to the conditions America is finding itself in as President Obama signs the NDAA Bill in our modern age.
A man, aged twenty-two from Doi-Dura in th Amdo region was told by the Chinese that he required treatment to make him more intelligent. The Chinese at the time were telling Tibetans that they were a stupid inferior race and would have to be sup-planted by Russians and Chinese. They took blood tests of this man, his wife, and many others, and there are a number of corresponding reports from different parts of Tibet detailing the sort of operation to which this young man and his wife were the next day forced to submit. They were both taken to the hospital. “He was completely undressed, placed on a chair and his genital organs were examined. Then a digital rectal examination was carried out and the finger was agitated. He then ejaculated a whitish fluid and one or more drops fell on a glass slide which was taken away. After this a long pointed instrument with handles like those of scissors was inserted inside the urethra and he fainted with pain. When he came round the doctors gave him a white tablet which they said would give him strength. Then he received an injection at the base of the penis where it joins the scrotum. The needle itself hurt but the injection did not. He felt momentarily numb in the region until the needle was removed. He stayed ten days in the hospital and then a month in be at home….he had been married for only two years and prior to this treatment had very strong sexual feelings…Afterwards he had no sexual desire at all….”

Meanwhile, his wife “was undressed and tied down. Her legs were raised and outstretched. Something very odd which became painful was inserted inside the vagina. She saw a kind of rubber balloon with a rubber tube attached, the end of which was inserted inside the vagina. The balloon was squeezed and his wife felt something very cold inside her. This caused no pain and only the tube and not the balloon was inserted. She remained conscious throughout. Then she was taken to bed. The same procedure was carried on every day for about a week. Then she went home and stayed in bed for about three weeks,” and thereafter she had neither sexual feeling nor menstruation.

Such stories numbered in the thousands and were provoked by a belief that some groups of people should not breed, so measures were taken to ensure that blood lines would end.  There were many stories of political dissidents who just disappeared off the face of the earth completely once communism was dominate in China.  It wasn’t General Chennault’s fault however that communism prevailed. He arrived in China in 1937 to help train Chinese pilots to defend against Japanese aggression. By 1941 war with Japan was imminent with the United States and it was Chennault who lobbied President Roosevelt to provide airplanes and troops, neither of which the President would provide directly. Chennault was able to organize a volunteer group of 300 fighter pilots and ground crew to pose as tourists on their visas who were simply adventurers, mercenaries and unorthodox pilots who didn’t fit in well with the regimented control of military life. Roosevelt was finally able to send 100 P-40B Tomahawk aircraft because an order scheduled for Great Britain was cancelled. The Tomahawk was considered inferior in flight performance against German fighters. So China was getting from the United States 100 airplanes that nobody wanted, pilots and ground crew that were too undisciplined to serve in the armed forces, to fight a massive, highly organized enemy that ranged in the tens of thousands. The odds stacked against these soldiers of fortune were daunting.

The American Volunteer Group to my mind was no different from the privateers of the golden age of pirates. They were paid to kill and harass the enemy, the Japanese. The deal for the AVG pilots was a one-year contract with CAMCO to “manufacture, repair, and operate aircraft” at salaries ranging from $250 to $750 a month. Traveling expenses, thirty days leave with pay quarters, and $30 additional for rations were specified. The Chinese government paid $500 for each confirmed Japanese plane destroyed in the air or on the ground. An AGV pilot who strafed a Japanese airfield could become a very rich man since planes caught on a runway counted toward the bonus.

When Pearl Harbor was bombed it was the Flying Tigers who struck first, because they were the only group in position to act once war was declared. Under Claire Chennault the Flying Tigers maintained an extraordinarily high kill ratio of 40 to 1 against the enemy which was remarkable and they continued to have success being all that stood between Japan taking over China with ground occupation for over 6 months being desperately outnumbered. The AVG had virtually no backup supplies and had to repair their P-40’s with scrap material found in the local villages.

As usual, the government as a whole was way behind the curve regarding military action and once seeing how popular, and effective the AVG was sought to incorporate them into the military.  The AVG successes were not due to the brilliance of a single mind in Washington, and truthfully, if not for the work of The Flying Tigers the military may never have been able to win World War II.  Without capturing momentum in the Pacific the war in Europe would have been hopeless, and to a large extent it was General Patton who helped turn the tide there, another unconventional general who was brash, bold, and combative.  It could be argued that if General Chennault had been given command of the Pacific theater, there may have never been a need for an atomic bomb.  If Chennault had just a few more resources, he might have crushed Japan two years earlier.  It was the genius of a few who won the war.  It was the government looters who cost thousands upon thousands of lives.  Even when the AVG was brought into the official military operations under General Stilwell where General Chennault and Stilwell fought daily, Stilwell insisted on making life for Chennault a living hell because he was jealous of Chennault’s talents, so Stilwell purposely withheld supplies to Chennault’s group, which seriously compromised the strategic interests of China. But Chennault succeeded anyway in spite of the terrible working conditions and overwhelming odds.

The AVG proved to be superior pilots not just against the enemy but among other Americans. Tex Hill would become one of the most spectacular and amazing pilots of World War II. His war record which started on the dirt runways of the Flying Tigers would last through impossible odds till the end of the war.

The saw-toothed mouths put fear into the enemy in similar tactics that made the Pirates of the Caribbean so successful 300 years earlier as fortune hunters and warriors in search of their personal fortunes fought in the skies over China. And along the way the Flying Tigers saved China from Japanese occupation long enough to choke Japan of resources allowing the US Navy to gain a foothold in the Pacific and eventually overtake Japan. In many ways it was General Chennault and his heroic volunteer pilots who won the war against Japan.

I learned from the Flying Tigers that it’s not always the strongest, the fastest, the most technologically superior who wins. In the end it’s the one who thinks they can who wins because the Flying Tigers were not the greatest airplanes. The pilots were not the best trained in the highest education institutions. And it wasn’t money, because there wasn’t any money, except the bonuses paid by the Chinese government to the pilots. The United States wasn’t able to send supplies to the Flying Tigers during the entire war. The Flying Tigers were great because of the swagger they flew with and their ability to be self-reliant.

My wife and I had the fortune recently to watch a P-40 airplane being restored at the War Bird Museum in Clermont County. It was a privilege to crawl around the inside of one of the sacred P-40’s from the Flying Tiger era that I adore so much. Because to me, the P-40 is the superior plane from the World War II period not because of its performance, but because it flew like the pilots themselves, it was not uncommon for P-40’s to return home after running out of gas and sputtering miraculously on fumes for impossible distances, or being shot up with so many holes that staying in the air seemed impossible. The P-40’s seemed to behave like the pilots who flew them. It was a pleasure to touch the metal and feel the spirit of one of these majestic planes up close, and to associate with the people who were restoring every last bolt of a P-40 so that it can roam the skies again.

And that is the lesson for our age and what we can learn from our heroes of the past. The pretentious rulers of government were just as foolish then as they are now. General Stilwell purposely put an entire country at risk because he disliked General Chennault. President Roosevelt failed to pull the trigger early enough to officially assist China and push against communism before they had gathered enough strength to kill many more lives in the war that became World War II. And the United States Navy was lost until it managed to study the tactics of General Chennault and began to use some of the former Flying Tiger pilots to help train their other pilots on how to defeat the Japanese in the air. But the moment the war was over; President Truman left China to fend for itself and pulled out all United States support. This allowed communism to take over China and cause 60 years of terror from a former ally. It is because of this act that we had the Korean War and the war in Southeast Asia.

The construction of my soapbox derby car was my small homage to Claire Chennault and his Flying Tigers because to me they represent everything that makes America the greatest country on earth. Americans aren’t great because we have technologically superior firepower. We are not great because we have good universities. We are not great because we have infinite supplies of food, water, and other resources. Americans are great who still understand how to think outside-the-box and can fix a shot up fuel line with bubble gum and are willing to fly into the enemy with a damaged plan that is out of bullets, out of gas, and out of luck, and rip through the enemy plane because the steel in the P-40 is made of stronger stuff than the enemy. The enemy is crushed, and the American comes home miraculously, because in the science of probability, it flies by sheer willpower to return home to fly again. And when that American puts their boots in the dusty soil of a foreign runway, a $500 bonus is put into their pockets and once they wash off all the blood and the plane is repaired, they’ll go up again to shoot up the enemy and collect $500 more for as long as they can breathe air in their lungs.

Every day when I step into my garage I pay homage to my version of those Flying Tigers by saluting my soapbox derby car as it hangs from my ceiling. That saw-toothed mouth grins at me and cries out to “GO GET EM.’” That car still looks as good today as it did when it tore down the hill behind Fort Hamilton Hospital in the quest for victory in a race that attracted the attention of all of Hamilton on that hot summer day. And as the crowd cheered at the spectacle my mind was not on them, but on the heroes of the Flying Tigers and the honor I felt to pay homage to them in the heroics of sport. Like the P-40’s of another time, my soapbox still sits perched from high above my garage and gazes down waiting to be called into war once again, and if not physically in the war, it can teach a new generation how to taste the blood of an enemy and become hungry for its nutrients when the times dictate such action. Because these times are no different from those times, the only things that differ are the names of the characters and the dates for which they occur.

As an added bonus to all you have read here and wish to know more than the text, videos and pictures above have revealed, feel free to grab some pop corn and the beverage of your choice and watch the great John Wayne classic, The Flying Tigers released by Republic Pictures in 1942 with John Wayne playing loosely the part of Claire Chennault in a film that the nation needed to see at the time.  I have included it below to make it easy for you to see!  Because at that time there wasn’t any good news to be had after Pearl Harbor except what the Flying Tigers were doing. And this film will give you a wonderful perspective of what the America was like then that made greatness a commodity that was the envy of the world. Because of that jealousy, the communists have attempted a less direct attack on our culture which we are currently experiencing. Just click the movie and enjoy the entire thing, and soak up what America is supposed to be so you can learn how to make it so again.

H.B. 136 in Ohio: The bottle caps of productivity

As I attended the Lakota School Board meeting on Monday December 12, 2011 and listened to the pain that the superintendent and board members uttered in their displeasure over H.B. 136 which looks to go to a vote in Columbus early in 2012, the more I realized that every American citizen in the United States should be required to read the book Atlas Shrugged before graduating high school, so they can have a basic understanding of how things work in the world, and how monopolies not only in business, but in government are detrimental to growth both economic and personal. I genuinely felt sorry for these board members and administrators who must watch as their failed perceptions of reality are coming unraveled right in front of their faces. H.B. 136 is the ambitious new bill proposed in March 1st of 2011 by Majority Floor Leader Matt Huffman which extends the school voucher program to parents whose household income is less than $95,000 a year, and will allow them to receive the money from the state to take to the school of their choice. The reason why this is a big deal is because for the first time, the money intended to educate a child will go straight to the child instead of to the school in their district. This is intended to bring about an environment of competition so that all schools can increase their performance and allow parents to choose where they want to send their children to school without having to move from their homes to a new residence in a different district, which is an extreme hardship and prohibitive expense to parents all over Ohio.

The reason I thought of Atlas Shrugged is because the world has unlimited potential not only in education, but energy, finance, health care development, food supply, virtually every conceivable topic, there is a virtual unlimited ceiling to what can be accomplished, and that’s the basic premise behind the classic novel Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It is in the empires that humans build that hold back and create the limits that imprison emotionally our entire population, and the reason the Lakota School Board was upset over H.B. 136 is because the part of the education empire that they control is being taken out of their hands. I wish I could explain to them that they need to change their focus onto a much broader intellectual perspective and see that it isn’t the limits of finance, or any other research that is holding back our society. Its people like them, which is exhibited wonderfully in the film THRIVE. You can see a preview of that fantastic film here:

Listening to the details of H.B. 136 in Ohio there isn’t much to be upset about if you are a parent. In short if a family of 4 making up to $100,000 a year they will qualify for $2,313 in voucher funds for their child to send them to the school of their choice. A family of 4 who is making up to $61,000 a year would be eligible for a voucher worth $4,626. Families’ in-between would be awarded amounts equitable on a sliding scale somewhere in between those values. That’s a great option for families across the board in Ohio.

However, the Lakota School Board estimated that if everyone in the district who qualified for a scholarship left Lakota for a different school such as Mason, or Fairfield then Lakota stood to lose up to $12 million dollars per year in potential funding which would wreck their funding projections. The superintendent for Lakota suggested that she was against H.B. 136 for the simple reason that she didn’t want to see the taxpayers of Lakota cover the loss in income that would be caused by the passage of that bill.

WHAT???????

Who says that the taxpayers are going to cover the loss in any income? Because we’re not going to. Lakota isn’t the only school expected to see operating deficits with the implementation of HB 136. Mentor Schools report they could lose $5.1 million, and Cardon Schools report they could lose $475,000 annually. The trouble with this thinking is that public schools in their education empire have become dependent on state money and have negotiated very large and lucrative contracts with the teachers unions that benefited the employees, not the kids who attend the school. As it is currently designed school funding in Ohio is to the benefit of the labor unions, and not the parents who pay the taxes. The sheer ignorance in suggesting that the tax payers would be required to cover the loss in revenue with a tax increase is absolutely preposterous.

At Lakota after the third levy defeat in just 18 months the tax payers approved a budget during the last election. They told the district in voting no for the proposed tax increase of a 4.75 mill levy that the budget as it stands is all the money the school is going to get, which is $1,140 per $100,000 of property value assessment. That means that the superintendent of Lakota is required to go to the employees of the district and give them their budget limit and it’s up to those employees to figure out how to live within those parameters. The tail does not wag the dog, the dog wags the tail, but in government-run monopolies, it is the tail that controls the dog apparently, which is why they fail in everything they do.

H.B. 136 seeks to take control back from these monopolies for the benefit of kids and parents all over Ohio. It is the burden of the schools and education profession in general to figure out how they can adjust to these changes. It is not for the duty of the government monopolies such as education to use a socialist philosophy to benefit the employees. It is the employees job to fulfill the requirements of those who employee them. Not the job of the employer to make sure the employees are comfortable and happy and eternally contented so they can retire in luxury.

Not so long ago I had a real ball busting president of a company that I worked directly for who was very upset with my management style. He was one of those guys who believed that rule through fear was the way to go. If you ever saw the film Bad Bosses, he was every single character in that movie. Needless to say I did my own thing anyway, in spite of his attempt to mold my management style into his way of thinking. My style is to utilize the talents of people and their natural inclinations to always find new innovations so that more production can be produced constantly getting faster and faster until a dimensioning marginal return is reached in increases in quality rejections. This particular president enjoyed my innovations because they made the company a lot of money, but at a certain point when that marginal return was reached, he being a typical politician and a looter at heart sought to take credit for my innovations as though he had thought of them and he needed my endorsement to allow him to do so. Typically, such an endorsement is the quiet compliance of admission that he was my superior, which he wasn’t. He might have out ranked me in the orientation of the company, but he did not equal me in intellectual capacity and strategy, so there was no reason I would yield my ground to a human inferior. But to his way of thinking the issue was a pecking order type of thing that would move me up the ladder if I just played the game, which I had no interest in.

When fear, intimidation, and manipulation had no effect on me with the intention to force me to yield to his position which was purely ornamental and I failed to get into line where he sought to place me, in sheer frustration he demanded of me in his office, “Mr. Hoffman, you think you are so smart, you think you are such a know-it all, you are so smug. But you don’t know a damn thing about management. How do you know you are a good manager?”

I replied to him, “When I’ve eliminated my job. When efficiencies and production requirements no longer require my day-to-day attention, and it’s time to lose my job, that’s when I know I’ve done a good job.”

He gapped at me for a long minute in fury then became genuinely inquisitive. “Then what will you do for a living?”

I replied, “I’ll write another book. I’ll start another business. Maybe I’ll do some work in films. I’ll think of something.”

The meeting ended quickly after that because the president of the company realized that fear would not work with me and that left him with an empty gun. And many politicians use the same tactics, fear in order to create a power structure and pecking order of socialism where if an employee pays their dues, they will find a healthy wage in the second half of their lives and a great retirement. The superintendent of Lakota was essentially doing the same thing that the president of the company I was referring to had done, and that’s use the fear of tax increases to attempt to maneuver parental support of H.B. 136 to the negative. She was planting a seed that she hoped the newspapers would pick up and carry on to the greater community in an attempt to protect the education empire that she is one of the great benefactors and leaders. So she is one of those who would have fallen in line to the kind of man I was talking about as a president so that at some future time she might be in the power position. And the current superintendent is protecting that empire for those under her that are hoping they too will someday have the chance to sit in her seat.

If the goal is not to protect your job however, and to always improve year after year in a never-ending change of careers openly accepting the adventure of living then you will obtain the ability to see clearly that the world is full of possibilities if people would only have the courage to look beyond their personal comforts to how the world could be.

The empire building that goes on in the oil industry, or the education industry, or the health care industry wish with every essence of their beings to maintain the status quo so that they can aim for a retirement at some point in their futures. Their short-sighted vision is damaging to the future of the human race, and those participants are like bottle caps that hold society into a bottle so not to let out the contents to the larger world outside the bottle. If more people had read Atlas Shrugged earlier in their lives, they might have different static patterns not rooted in socialism and institutions built to protect employees, but instead be committed to the type of innovations shown in the film THRIVE, which is in essence what the novel Atlas Shrugged is all about.

H.B. 136 is one of those bills that will bring to the field of education over time new innovations, cheaper per pupil costs, and much higher education results for our children by putting the money in the hands of the parents and not the empires of education. Yes, H.B. 136 will break up the monopolies of education, but that will only be bad for the employees who will have to make the adjustments to the new way of doing things. It doesn’t mean those employees will be cast into the streets jobless. But it means that they will have to make new adjustments to their lives to stay competitive. They will only suffer if they refuse to accept the changes because if the world was allowed to progress in the manner of the film THRIVE or Atlas Shrugged, then jobs would be created for everyone, the value of money would increase and purchasing power would also go up, and the amount of money that citizens would be required to make to have a good standard of living would decrease, which is to everyone’s benefit. It is the government monopolies and financial empires who stand in the way of human existence; it’s not a lack of resources. But before society can have these wonders the general education of our people must increase 100 fold from what it currently is, which is simply a system rooted in an idea of socialism that is over 150 years old. And that is not acceptable.

We can do much, much better than that.

A Supercar that runs on Vegetable Oil: THE GREATEST CAR CHASE IN HISTORY!

The second edit for my new book Tail of the Dragon is well on its way. As we speak my editor is plugging away at the daunting task of delivering it back to me for a final edit near the start of the New Year and from there a 2012 release date will be forthcoming. I know a lot of my readers here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom are interested in this very cryptic project of mine that has been three years in the making now. While I can’t give away specific details I can provide the tentative marketing summary that I prepared for my publisher as we enter into this next phase and begin to contemplate marketing necessities for the books release which you can see below.

________________________________________________________

THE GREATEST CAR CHASE IN AMERICAN HISTORY BEGINS WITH A RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.

A highly rebellious loner whose NASCAR dreams have fallen short finds himself the victim of a governor’s plans to run for President of the United States. Wellington Royce, governor of Tennessee is seeking the support of the Fraternal Order of Police to catapult him into the White House by adding more officers to the highways around The Great Smoky Mountains and to pay for them with increased citations on the tourists who visit. Thrown in jail, abused, and set-up, Rick Stevens in a fit of rage accepts an offer to declare war on the highway patrol by the governors political enemies using $20 million dollars to build the car of his dreams in a plan to wreak havoc in what becomes the greatest car chase in history. The chase emerges as a journey of self-discovery, deep contemplation and new-found romance as an impenetrable gauntlet of guns, missiles and the might of the military sits at the finish line and the treachery of politics proves to be more sinister than even death.

_______________________________________________________

Tail of the Dragon is an intensely layered novel that intricately combines the struggles of emotional growth with breakneck action and imminent danger with peril at virtually every mile of this illustrious car chase. What makes this particular story unique is that the chase is actually instigated and is politically motivated by the protagonist. People who have read the early manuscript say the beginning is reminiscent of the film First Blood while the ending is 100X the chase at the end of The Road Warrior. The lead character knowing what to expect builds a car specifically designed to out-run, out-wit, and out-maneuver anything the police or military can throw at him. This includes the latest in composite armor technology of course, but the two most unique attributes to this mystery car that is built for this epic car chase are elements that I am particularly passionate about.

When purposely planning to flee from police officers during a high-speed chase the first problem that must be solved is refueling, the Highway Patrol will naturally be sure to shut down all petrol stations within many miles of a fleeing vehicle. That is why the main character in my novel decides to use an alternative fuel for his high performance supercar, something that he can get independent of heavily guarded fuel stops where snipers from helicopters can shoot him dead as soon as he attempts to refuel. The police to prevent further injuries and risk to civilians will naturally attempt to force a car fleeing from officers to simply run out of gas so they can capture the driver when they attempt to escape on foot as the last option. That is when the main character plans to utilize the technology shown in the video below.

Yes, that’s right. The fuel for the supercar in this epic car chase is vegetable oil, which can be found at virtually any restaurant. So in theory our hero plans to refuel his car when he runs out of gas by backing up to a McDonalds and dumping their used oil into his car. And no, the police are not happy about it…..not in the least.

The other big development is in the engine, which is a highly specialized Peugeot diesel engine from France that puts out close to 700 HP. The engine has to be a diesel engine because in order to run a car on vegetable oil the power plant must be a diesel. Now most people think diesel engines are built for trucks. Not so. Have a look at this Audi from Germany and what they’ve been able to do with a diesel engine.

That gives you an idea of what kind of power, and quickness we’re talking about with the super car featured in Tail of the Dragon. When planning to outrun everything the police have available, and the aircraft that the military has to offer a car would need to accelerate from zero to 100 in less than 7 to 10 seconds and would need a top speed of over 200 M.P.H. because many police departments have their own supercars for such high-speed pursuits. But you could not have a fuel source that the police could control but something that existed on the open market in great abundance, like vegetable oil.

In modern America where there are fast food restaurants at nearly every highway exit ramp, vegetable oil is just the thing for a fuel supply. Getting over 700 HP out of an engine that runs on vegetable oil is a bit tricky, but Peugeot has solved the problem by producing a diesel racing engine for Le Mans events so the technology for all my thoughts about the supercar featured in Tail of the Dragon can become a reality.

A government out-of-control: the senators who voted for NDAA

Just like in the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean where the ships needed to be much faster than the ships they were robbing, my editor pointed out to me a few weeks ago that Tail of the Dragon is a modern pirate story and the car in the story was like a modern pirate ship. That was an aspect I hadn’t considered, since I simply wanted to resurrect the good old car chase stories of the 70’s like Crazy Larry and Dirty Mary, Bonnie and Clyde, Smokey and the Bandit, Vantage Point and many others. But in this story the protagonists actually picks a fight with the law, on purpose and for political reasons which conjured up in her mind a pirate story. That was completely unintentional on my behalf, but was simply a byproduct of my interests which any writer is vulnerable to. For the blank page that sits before a writer will soak up the mind of those who fill it, and my mind has a lot bouncing around in it, as anyone who reads here often will know. So yes, my love of pirate lore found its way into my epic novel! It was unavoidable!

The benefit however is that we have a car in this story that is unlike anything ever created for literature or a film. Take every trick car in a James Bond film and you might have something comparable to the pirate car in this story, and that is exciting. I waited for years for somebody else to do a story like this, but they never did, so I accepted the task to put my dreams on paper! I look forward to the day in the very near future where I can share all this great stuff with a larger audience and reveal finally the details of an epic American tale that not only looks to be culturally significant given our current government problems, but will help paint an artistic picture of what the world will look like under the rule of a police state, similar to what the senate just passed with the NDAA act. Such things only three years ago seemed like science fiction to many when I first put pen to paper in the mountains of Tennessee and began the journey that has become Tail of the Dragon. Because the government is growing at an alarming rate, and is becoming more and more intrusive it can be a lot of fun to follow the exploits of a man who looks at this encroachment and decides to go pirate. But it takes more than just a pirate to tell such a story because in every great tale of adventure, plunder, and revenge there is a pirate ship, and Tail of the Dragon certainly has one, so much so that in the words of my editor, “the car is one of the strongest characters.”

Mission accomplished!

The Sex Trade: Puppets, Pawns, and Punks

The incorrect assumption about the so-called 1% is that they all think alike and have the same motives which would be naive. But like most groups among the human population the very rich have different ideas and approaches to the art of living. Some of the very wealthy, like those in the estate of Walt Disney, I hold in extremely high regard and believe that the Walt Disney Company is very important to the positive myth building of our young people and provides great joy for millions of people they wouldn’t otherwise have. But in the opposite direction there are those like George Soros who are behaving in a sinister fashion with his wealth to collapse anything resembling capitalism and replacing those governments with global socialism. This makes it very difficult to figure out who the bad guys are in our society. To simply point at the “rich” and proclaim them to be the bad guys isn’t accurate. This confusion is by design from the true enemies of human existence who reside in the shadows like snipers attacking aspects of our culture from a safe distance. They don’t engage in open warfare, but stay far away and use their pawns to do their biding.

The puppet masters of tyranny are very elusive, and people are beginning to be aware of their work and even though the actual face of that enemy is under dispute, the enabler of the enemies’ power is the person who you see in the mirror, because ignorance by the population fuels their power. I have said as much here at this site many times, and the character ANONYMOUS from the video below has also correctly identified the fuel of tyranny in this very cryptic warning.

So who are the enemies of our existence? Is it so simple to say its Wall Street bankers, corporations, socialism, communism, China—is it anything at all? No, it’s not necessarily an enemy you can see on stage, but sometimes an enemy can reside in an idea and hide there undetected. So the first step in locating them is to study the puppets on the stage for the show they present to you.

Here is a puppet, her name is Hillary Clinton giving a speech in front of the UN in Geneva over the rights of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transvestite people, otherwise known as LGBT people according to this particular puppet. Anyone with half a brain will wonder why with all the trouble there is in the world why Secretary of the State, Hillary Clinton would be so concerned about the rights of LGBT people. Hasn’t she been to Key West, Florida? I have, more than once, and all those people live very openly with all types of other people without any violence or prejudice. In fact, everyone seems to enjoy that environment very well. Key West is one of the least regulated places on earth and people get along better there than just about anyplace, so what is Hillary talking about?

There is no doubt that Hillary believes every word that she is speaking. But you have to understand that she is only a puppet. Her ideas were formed at a radical university where she was taught that rights for women, rights for the homosexual community, and racism were the paramount concerns of our day. She was formed by a globalism ideology to play a role in progressive politics. In short, her focus was intentionally created to drive society in a particular direction. Obviously her mind is broken. She has a husband who was a serious drug abuser and was and probably is still a serial womanizer, but those values are not important to her so long as her husband joins her on a quest to end prejudice for the homosexual community. Her values were created by the puppet masters who built the curriculum at her college.

The same agenda was set for Barack Obama who has also taken up the torch of progressive politics and is uttering the same type of speech. When listening to Obama, with all the problems there are in the world, one must wonder why he believes the issue of where a man plants his seed in sexual release is so important. Well, he thinks it’s important because he was trained to believe so, at his university.

Those are just a few of the puppets of our time. They are created to tell a story to an audience, of which we all are a part of. The secret to the show is that all the foundations of which progressive politics is built is not for human rights, it is not for fairness, it is not for socialism and equality for all, as the show leads us to believe it is. It’s something else, an aspect to our culture that is much more elusive.

To understand what is going on behind the scenes of the puppet show I would refer you dear reader to the great film by Stanley Kubrick called Eyes Wide Shut, starring Tom Cruise and Nichole Kidman. You can see a previous article I wrote about this very important film by clicking on this link:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/sex-trade-in-rio-the-world-and-motivations-behind-eyes-wide-shut/

The reason why the very sinister elite political classes of our world encourage a focus on sexual persuasion is to direct the mind of the masses onto sexual fulfillment. The focus on gay rights is not to bring peace to the gay population, but to fascinate the sexual interest of those who are not gay, so that they may experiment and turn their minds away from high thoughts into the very low thoughts of sexual fulfillment.

I have witnessed the wasted lives of many people who spent much of their time looking for a sex partner. I know people who have built entire careers around the notion of gaining sexual access to those whom they desire. Sex is like a drug; it can consume a mind and weaken it. And this is the goal, to weaken the mind of the masses so their thoughts are not focused on the rulers of their society, but on the outlets for their sexual release.

If Hillary Clinton and President Obama were really interested in human rights they would be appalled to learn the magnitude of the most evil practice of modern slavery happening right out in the open. In fact just a few blocks from where Hillary gave her speech in Geneva the same men and women attending that illuminating political body can and visit a place to order up a 12-year-old girl to have sex with, or a small boy, taken from various places all over the world and sold into the sex trade to fulfill the hunger of a public consumed with sex propelled along by the men and women who truly wish to be kings of all humanity using sex and human addiction to it as the shackles for global slavery. If you have a squeamish, simple mind I suggest you stop reading and watching videos right now because you will not like what you discover from here on, because the grand mechanism that is propelling virtually all evil on the face of the earth and the politics of mankind is sex trafficking.

To feed the sex trade, drugs are openly poured into all cultures to weaken the minds of the users. Many of the drug users will participate and not become addicted to them. But a certain percentage will, and of those, they will often turn to the sex industry to fuel their addiction. That is how recruits for the industry are groomed and used. Most everything in progressive politics is geared to this strategy, open drug use, a focus on alternative sexual relationships, the aim at the masses to not set their standards too high, the entire progressive platform is designed to dumb down the population so they are easy to control, sex is used to maintain that level of ignorance.

To drive the point home I must take you dear reader down the rabbit hole. I am going to ask you to watch the following videos completely and not to cheat by simply skimming through them. I placed them here for your benefit. I showed these videos to my kid’s years ago so they would know how the game is stacked against them, especially being young women, so they could not become seduced by the progressive machine designed by pure evil that is described in the film Eyes Wide Shut. Each film below is about 40 minutes and there are 4 of them. So it will take a while, but it is extremely important to watch them and gain an understanding of what the puppet show is really about.

In the film Eyes Wide Shut Nichole Kidman reveals to her husband that she has sexual fantasies about a man she met years ago. This is a normal thing that occupies many minds of middle-class couples. All one has to do to see evidence of this is to study the Jerry Sandusky situation at Penn State or the scandal at Syracuse University. There are many married couples who have dysfunctional relationships because of pornography, or Facebook friends who want more than just status updates. So the situation between Tom Cruise and Nichole Kidman in that film catapults Cruise into the darkness of the Sex Trade out of jealousy.

Many men don’t end up at the top of that industry where Tom Cruise goes, which is the origin behind the sex trade. Many men and some women become the people in this next video who seek out sex slaves in the massive sex trade industry to fulfill their fantasies. Those fantasies are the type of thoughts that progressive politics endorses so that the guilt of those feelings is removed and the person might act on those temptations.

This is also why progressive politics has embraced the removal of Christian oriented religions, because the guilt inspired by an act of Christian sin must be taken away so that the population will partake in the evil of illicit sex. Once a man or woman has engaged in such sex, they have lost a piece of themselves. They have lost their ability to cast opinions about the practice and become a member of the silent army which supports the evil, by default.

It was only 20 years ago when Pee Wee Herman was caught masturbating in an adult movie theater. For that act he lost his TV show and never recovered. Since that time the porn industry has went to video, and now is abundant online. Porn is now mainstream and easy to get at. People no longer look down on their neighbors for visiting a pornographic outlet; instead porn participants are commended for their actions. It’s joked about as “natural,” and is now accepted. This creates the need for a massive amount of content to fuel this industry so there is a voracious fervor to find people to film for these movies, people willing to allow millions of people to watch them have sex. To lower the barriers so men and women will allow themselves to be filmed in this fashion sex education has started earlier and earlier in public school, and premarital sex has been encouraged. The family unit has been attacked so that fewer parents are available to steer their children away from sexual predators, because the practice of the sex trade is viewed by the perpetrators as throwing wood on a fire. They do not care at all about the lives they consume. They only care to supply fuel to that never-ending fire of passion which comes from sexual desire. And from that addiction to sexual desire, the rulers of our world can easily control the masses. This is the reason pornography has been brought into the mainstream.

At this point many of you will disagree with me, you’ll be tempted to say, the girls who work at the local gentleman’s club do so by their own decision. The Vegas stripper who you saw at a bachelor party was just having fun. The girls in that porn you watched on your computer were getting paid to do something they’d be giving away for free anyway. Well…………..if you think those things you are kidding yourself. Yes, those girls are being well paid for their work, but they are simply puppets on the stage and are no different from Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton. They are all “built” to sell the system of progressive politics which continues to create logs for their perpetual fire through public education, entertainment, and politics.

The intent behind the speeches by Hillary and Barack are to create in your mind dear reader, “I’d like to try that. I’d like to know what that feels like. I’d like to see that, to smell that, to taste that.” The next step is to seek out a pornographic reference for your curiosity and perhaps some drugs to help ease your mind from the guilt. Then once the visual images have stimulated your curiosity enough to seek out a real person in the flesh then the transformation into a sex addict is complete.

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/throw-every-senator-who-voted-for-s-1867-ndaa-out-of-office-rule-by-fools/

This is why the government is currently using “Fast and Furious” to steal away our gun rights. This is why the senate passed NDAA to detain American’s at will and throw them in jail without trail of jury, this is why Obama, a completely failed president has over $1 billion dollars in a bank account to run for a second term as president by the same powers who own the sex trade, because all those who might resist such grabs for power are occupied with thoughts of sex. While they pursue their fantasies and think about their next organism, their rights, liberties and family futures are being dismantled rapidly right before their eyes and they do not see it because they only want to see naked bodies and sexual fulfillment.

As Anonymous said in the video you can only blame the person who looks back in the mirror for all that is happening. And it’s happening because the progressive platform created by those who crave to rule the world, literally, have created puppets to sell their radical agenda with legitimacy while everyone who might resist their efforts are preoccupied with the distraction of sex and the lengthy pursuits involved in that type of fulfillment. Our world and freedom are being stolen from us while our thoughts are only on the very simple and temporary focus of sex, and it’s happening right out in front of us, unable to do anything about it, because the masses are addicted, corrupted, and distorted beyond the ability to reason.

You might think that what I have said here is radical. But ask yourself why progressives like Hillary and Barack are so interested in human rights but avoid the topic of sex trafficking and modern human slavery. Their silence reveals the true strategy and the path we are currently on that lead to not only slavery for those in the sex trade, but also those who have participated in it as customers. Because what is being discovered too late is that we are being herded into a pen and led to our own slaughter by men and women who are as intent to rule the earth as any dictator or emperor of history ever hungered for. 

The puppets are those who sell progressive politics, the pawns are those who are blinded by progressive politics, and the PUNKs are those who created progressive politics and drive it to this very day from a very high level.  And they will continue on this path until people stop watching the puppet show and follow the strings to where the hands controlling the show really hide.  When that happens, then problems can begin to be solved.  But not until then. 

The world has gone mad.  The proof is in all the people who spoke in that video that have lost the ability to tell right from wrong.  All their concern is whether or not Jerry Sandusky should have spoken to the media.  Not on the actions he committed.  How much proof do you need after all this?

Self Entitled Monsters: The 1% Strike Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have heard one time too many from the crazy PTA moms who are angry at me for fighting the school levy of my local district, who are functioning under the presumption that the “rich” owe their child some special social duty to pay infinite taxes forever. I have heard one time too many from young people who sympathize with the OCCUPY movements all over the world that I somehow “OWE” them something that I have. I have avoided calling them what they are by proper definition because to be honest I have not wanted to call the public school system what I really think it is. The reason, because public schools are very emotional institutions that many people value, and to call that particular institution by a name that is associated with the communism of the former Soviet Union would seem disgraceful. However, the evidence is in. I have listened to the rhetoric of these PTA moms and their children, the pretentious self entitled monsters that they are. I have seen what these bell-bottomed, neurotic, under-sexed PTA members are producing from their children and by what I see, our nation, even our world will be doomed to failure if we don’t put a stop to it RIGHT NOW! Public schools are socialist institutions that are to blame for the very poor quality of human being they are producing–there, I said it.

One way to put a stop to these crazy lunatics that are direct victims of public education socialism is by teaching them how they are wrong. That is exactly what the very wealthy Peter Schiff did when he went down into the Occupy Wall Street crowd with a sign declaring himself as one of the 1% and challenged all the poor little Marxist, socialist, college students camped there to debate him.

Our public schools are teaching our children socialism. The kids of public education have been for two decades at least, learning raw, social engineering, and we are starting to see the effects of it. For the first time in American history the busy career moms of the 70’s who produced lonely children who grew up to become neurotic parents and learned socialism in their beloved public schools have now become professionals who are too busy to raise their own children, leaving their children to be raised by socialist public schools and again lonely with very little parental influence. Now the parents feeling guilty have given their children all the comforts of modern life without much love to back it, and those children have now been raised to become members of this degrading 99% identifier. Now all these people young and old are discovering at the same time that socialism does not work!

Well, there are those of us, call us the 1% if you want, who have been trying to warn these public schools and the kids coming out of them that they are teaching and learning a philosophy of failure. I mean if schools wanted to teach socialism in a historic context it might be a good thing, but only with capitalism as a foundation. You see, this is what happens when you let a radical, political left-leaning labor union called the TEACHERS UNION run your public school; you get a program of socialism leaving consequences that nobody considered when a social utopia was the naive goal.

Socialism will fail 100% of the time when it must combat capitalism. Look how easily Peter engages in combat with the socialist of the Occupy Movement. He doesn’t even break a sweat, because Peter knows that there isn’t one argument that socialists can make that capitalism cannot defeat handedly.

Our society has allowed the creation of an entire generation of lost children who are so out-of-touch and pretentious that they are now a danger to themselves, not just the rest of society. Every single time I hear a school system ask for more money, or declare that children will suffer if a new tax levy isn’t passed I have to scratch my head and wonder, how are these kids not suffering now? I mean look at them. These kids who claim they are the 99%. Why would they do such a thing? Who wants to be some pathetic majority? Under no circumstance would I ever wish to call myself the 99%. And I would NEVER consider any aspect of socialism of having any honorable merit. Why would I want to provide money to a school so that the school can teach the children of modern society to be socialists?

Adam Carolla captured this problem wonderfully in a recent podcast about the Occupy Wall Street crowd, and I’ll have to say, I agree with everything he says. He captures with wonderful articulation the problem of our age regarding these poor young people who have unknowingly become a menace to society.

Who reading this thinks our society can afford one more generation of losers like what we have produced in our most recent crop of youth? And I do feel sorry for them, because many of those kids are losers because their parents were losers, so it’s not the kids fault. And because the parents were losers, and knew it, they turned the education of their children over to a socialist loving teacher belonging to a union who doesn’t give a damn about the child, but wants to change the world in the way all the crazy flower children of the 60’s envisioned. All those damn hippies who didn’t die of drug overdoses and were so far on the political left and couldn’t get a real job found homes in academia. This is why so many of those goof-balls are currently teaching, because the real world rejected their socialist tendencies and only in tax payer funded education could they find jobs where they could become gainfully employed.

And it’s these old hippies who now work in the Departments of Education, on school boards, as union leaders, and mentor the young teachers they employee with our tax money in the ways of socialism.
Oh, I’m sorry to disillusion you of what you are exposing your child to. The preferred term these days is “progressive” instruction, but in reality it’s simply just socialism.

Congratulations, if you just turned your child over to one of these schools without balancing out their exposure with thoughts of your own. You have helped create one of these little socialist monsters.

It is possible for children to attend public school without becoming socialists. But the parent must take an active role in the child’s life, and if you were too busy to play that part, then our society has you to blame. For you have not given American society the next genius who might cure cancer, or a fighter who might combat tyranny wherever it raises its head, or even the next spiritual leader, you have simply raised a pretentious slob who is jealous of the entire world because they are too lazy to compete. After all, that’s why socialism is attractive to a portion of the population, because socialism is the political philosophy of the weak and lazy. It allows those with no ambition to have an equal share to those who naturally work hard, or attempt to use their unique talents to advance their lives.

The Self-Entitled Monsters of our age are on a path of disillusioned destruction if they are allowed to continue on down a path of socialism. The pain for them is now that they are adults is to go back and unlearn all the socialism they received in public education, and replace it with an understanding on the merits of capitalism. The start of that process is that the 1% must engage in a dialogue as Peter Schiff has, and challenge these failures to identify where they are wrong so they can correct their mistakes before it’s not only too late for their individual lives, but for the continuation of our American society. Because our society won’t last 20 more years if it is placed in the care of these Occupy idiots and the socialist instructors in public education. If the fate of our future is placed in their hands, our destiny will become like water and run through their fingers because their hands are not strong enough to cup the water into a form that can be identified and held. Instead we will just become a formless liquid that simply runs to the lowest spot possible before being evaporated into nothing.

The Confederate Battle Flag: FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECLARES WAR AGAINST AMERICA WITH NDAA

AFTER YOU READ THIS, BE SURE TO WATCH EVERY SINGLE VIDEO FOR CONTEXT:

Shockingly, a majority of our government voted for the National Defense Authorization Act, which allows the president to declare that the military can detain Americans if the area they reside in is declared a war zone. This is a very bad thing, especially when we have a president who is provoking those war zones with the Occupy Movement. The move by the government in both houses on this action show the direction of our country. As this news broke, Herman Cain had to bow out of his run for president simply because the political machinery of both sides saw him as a threat. I don’t care if he had sex with several women from every single state in the union, he wouldn’t have been any worse than John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnston, or Bill Clinton. Yet the press would not let off Herman Cain because it scared them to hell and back to consider a black conservative running for president. I love Herman Cain! And the labor unions intent on pushing for an ever increasing progressive agenda seem poised to grow stronger, since many in the Tea Party movement are feeling the sting of a major loss in Ohio over Issue 2, which would have reformed collective bargaining. All those issues are activities by progressive politics on both sides of the political isle to destroy the Tea Party movement as a threat in future politics. The Republic Party has had enough of the Tea Party. They want to cut a budget deal with Democrats and are ready to sell out, so all things involving the Tea Party are about to be crushed politically. This is a move that has been long time in the making.

Did anybody think it would be easy?

Two things greeted me over the weekend that showed me that the story will not end there however, and that the Republican betrayal of the Tea Party is just the first chapter in a long book leading to the next Civil War in America, first was the news that in my home township of Liberty, Issue 2 passed with 56% of the vote. At least somewhere in the world people are not complete idiots bought and sold by the socialist unions. That’s good news. The other thing I found refreshing was this young man fighting for his right to hang a Confederate Flag in his dorm window. Listen to him here:

The Confederate Flag is one of those aspects of progressivism that has been painted in a negative way so to help spread socialism throughout the country. It has been highlighted to be the symbol of slavery in the south since that was what created the first Civil War, and the Confederate Flag was the flag of the south. The Confederate Flag has been the target of many demonstrations and protests by civil rights groups and other progressive politicians who look to African-American suffrage as a way to more power. The young man in that video makes a number of great and sensible points and it is refreshing to hear a young person who is able to articulate such beliefs at a young age.

The real intent behind the progressive attack on the Confederate Flag has absolutely nothing to do with slavery in the south. Slavery was well on its way to being abolished and the clock on it was ticking down rapidly. The Northern states were the first to replace slavery with other industry so it wasn’t difficult for them to suddenly grow a conscious once they had an economy that allowed them to have morality and pity for their fellow man. The south being too dependent on cotton hadn’t found a way to rid themselves of slavery. In hindsight, it is easy to say the plantation owners should have just paid all their workers, but at the time, the entire world functioned with slavery as the mode of operation, and it was in America where the discussion to get rid of slavery completely took place. So the war between the North and the South was important for virtually every human being on planet earth.

Progressive politicians have needed African American demographics to look back in horror at their ancestors because those politicians and civil rights leaders are simply looters. They used sorrow in the slave history the way they used guilt against the Native Americans to make all Americans accept socialism as a means of government. It is under this guilt that progressives have spread the welfare state, voting blocs for the Democratic Party, and even talk of reparations. The intent of all this activity was to keep the Caucasian majority on its heels and defensive so they did not question the true intentions behind progressive political movements, which is a complete overthrow of the United States government into a socialist country falling into place with the policies of Socialist International.
The real reason to attack the Confederate Flag is the same reason that the America Revolution has been smeared and all the founding fathers were discredited as being slave holders and unable to even write the Constitution. The American Revolution is about rebellion and the Civil War is about rebellion. Ultimately the south, even if it was wrong in defending its ability to maintain slavery as an economic means for their survival, did have the right to exercise their states rights to not take orders from a federal fovernment. In fact, the federal government used its victory in the Civil War to impose more federal control in a trend that ushered in the progressive era. Many of our complaints about public education, a far reaching centralized government, incredibly high taxes, and the loss of freedom and the rise of socialism come from the fate of the Civil War. To prevent any further successions from the union the federal government in an attempt at its own preservation has tried to aggressively remove all symbols of freedom and further rebellion so that the United States never has to go through such a thing again.

But in the south, they have never really ever bought in to this centralized government idea, and to this day, the southern states are still very resistant to federal government control, so they have held on to their Confederate Flag as a symbol that if the time should come again, they’ll take that flag up and fight against the Union if need be.

According to progressives, every slave ancestor was a beaten down person that had their very souls robbed from them. And in some cases this was certainly true. But as I speak about the golden age of piracy with great reverence, many of those early pirates were former slaves who had been freed on their way to the West Indies from Africa. In fact many of the best pirate ships were former slave vessels that had been taken over by pirates, the captains of the English, French and Spanish had their crews killed and the slaves on those vessels were free to roam the seas as pirates in the captured vessels, where as I described, freedom was born 100 years before The Declaration of Independence. For a review check out this article:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/the-key-to-american-exceptionalism-its-not-what-you-think-it-is/

Oh yes, it is this little bit of history that roams in the soul of many southerners and sets them apart from their countryman in the North. Many of these slaves turned pirate settled in New Orleans and other port towns, particularly Charleston, South Carolina and started lives as free men and women. (BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW ANY OF THIS…………..DID YA?)

This is why to this very day in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, you can see in the streets of that mountain town pirate flags and Confederate Flags for sale in abundance which tourists soak up like a dry sponge. Even though many people have forgotten all this history, somewhere deep in the genetic makeup of southern people their cells remember.


It is not by accident that Herman Cain was from Atlanta, Newt Gingrich is from Macon, Georgia, Ron Paul is from Texas, there is a spirit in the south that is unmistakably rebellious, and ready for a fight. Progressives have attempted to plant their feet in the south, Al Gore was governor of Tennessee after all, and Ted Turner started CNN with his communist wife Jane Fonda in Atlanta, Georgia. But this has been to no avail, since more than just about any other place in the United States people in the south rejects centralized authority. For instance, every single state in the south is a right-to-work state, meaning the labor unions cannot force members to join a union. People are free to choose, which is how it should be! Check out the map for yourself:

When I go on vacation in the south, particularly in Florida I relish the giant Confederate Flags that fly just off of Interstate 75 a few miles south of I-10, then again where I-75 meets I-4 outside of Tampa. They are huge flags that fly proudly and when I see them I don’t think of slavery. Not at all. I think of a people who love freedom and want to be left alone. I think of a people who are openly displaying their willingness to fight at a moment’s notice again if need be, to fight for freedom. When I see the Confederate Flag, I think of a rebel!

Progressive politics using the Hollywood influence seduced by the Democratic Progressive socialists has attempted for years to smear the south in many ways as a bunch of dumb hillbillies. The exact same tactic is used against people who say no to progressive school levies up in the North. The common progressive tactic is to call those who challenge them names in an attempt to keep anyone from wanting to follow such rebels. In response Nashville has become the Hollywood of the south. LA produces rap music and rock and roll. Nashville produces country music and other folk talent. It’s been a kind of Civil War of the arts that few people give any credence to, but it’s alive and well to this very day at this very hour as a minute just ticked by.

Most Americans simply don’t pay much attention to all this. They hear a song on the radio that catches their attention and they tap their feet to it. Or they see a flag here and there while traveling and they may admire such displays even when they are told by the media that they are bad to consider such things. But inside every human being is a desire to be free. The problem is—now–just as it was before and during the Civil War, not every human being has the courage to live free or to fight for it when fighting is the only option available.

With all the talk that emerges from the lips of progressives like Barack Obama, Richard Trumka, Nancy Pelosi , Chuck Schumer, it is those pretentious costal politicians who think that the rest of the country revolves around their narrow version of the world. The proof is in who they speak to, who their voters are. You see, progressives would rather dumb down the rest of the world with socialism, to get everyone addicted to their welfare checks, to their government services, their union collective bargaining so that they can buy a vote and remain part of the political elite. To me, this is in itself a form of slavery. Look at the poor people who live in the inner cities where they have become addicted to government services, and compare those lives to the poor people who live in Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, who would rather live in a broke down RV than take government assistance and the difference becomes quickly evident. The progressive political addicts are slaves to government, and they are paid to vote for expansion of more government with our taxes. They are being used and we pay for their slavery by endorsing the political process that enables it. In the south they’ll just give you the finger and tell you to go to hell.

Yes, in all the years of scheming from the Department of Education, with all the money poured into Hollywood from the progressive left to make “certain” kinds of films, to control publishing, to control politics, progressives have yet to figure out how to get rid of “southern pride.” They tried to take away the symbol of all this rebellion by taking away the Confederate Flag. But it hasn’t worked. In fact, it’s back fired, and now a kid, who progressive politicians tell should hate the Confederate Flag because of its connection to slavery, is fighting to hang the Confederate Battle Flag in the window of his dorm window, and it delights me to no end.

About a year ago a man was hired from Progress Ohio in an attempt to smear me for some of my work in the Western Arts by attacking one of my videos that showed a Confederate Flag that was flying in an event I was at. It wasn’t my flag, I wasn’t holding the flag, it was simply part of the competition that I was at. The progressive spin doctor attempted to paint me in the press as a racist because of it. You can see that article and his press release to the media for review in case you missed it:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2010/10/23/my-little-problem-progressive-public-affairs-consultant-openly-lies-to-the-media/

That shows just how far, and to what extent progressives have used the extortion of guilt to manipulate our population. I’ve never owned a slave and I never would. I’d never endorse another human being owned by anyone. In fact I preach every single day of my life why people should be freer. I have even went so far to bring awareness to the slaves in this world that are currently being abused and nobody in the Barack Obama camp cares at all about them, currently under the whip and chain in modern day Africa. And nobody in the wonderful United Nations, or Socialists International cares about the poor girls who are stolen EVERY SINGLE DAY in this world and sexually used for “worldly” travelers. That is where the hypocrisy of progressive politics shows its ugly head.

Progressive socialist like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and her husband “Bubba” don’t give a rat’s ass about southern slaves in 1850 America. Those academic looters simply copied the words of Henry David Thoreau as socialists studied his work in Civil Disobedience and they hung their hat on Thoreau’s movement, and used everyone involved in their quest for power. How do I know……………………….because their actions tell the whole story.

Right now, just two blocks from the White House over on K Street every single night of the year prostitutes work the avenue as the pimps watch over their girls. Many of those girls are SLAVES, in that they are stolen in some way through sex trafficking, hooked on drugs and forced to work as prostitutes to service the crooked congressman, senators, and lobbyists who work the capital away from their families. Prostitution is highly illegal yet not a single soul does anything about it in Washington D.C. The police just drive on by, and the president could wave at them through his upstairs window at the White House. Yet not a single law maker does ANYTHING about it! NOTHING!!!!!!! This is what it was like in the 1800’s when just about anyone who controlled any amount of wealth had a slave. They only cared about slavery in America when the North wanted to exert economic dominance over the South for political reasons, because the South was producing many of the high profile politicians of the day and the politicians of the North wanted to put a stop to it. So they decided to take a stand against slavery to hurt the south economically. They certainly didn’t do it to free any man from being owned by other men. The North went after the South politically for exactly the same reasons that the political establishment went after my man Herman Cain and his sexploits. The very same media people and politicians who pointed their finger at Herman Cain are buying blowjobs on K Street from modern day slaves, but it is Herman Cain who was attacked, because he was a threat to the political class.
Any progressive politician who points to the Confederate Battle flag and says it’s evil, while at the same time seeking sex on K Street, like many of them do, while the rest, including President Obama turn a blind eye to it, is simply practicing in modern day slavery themesleves. They seek to rid any reminders of rebellion from those who are prone to threaten their quests for power, and that’s all they care about. It doesn’t have a damn thing to do about human rights. It has everything to do with power and control by the political class.

(BY THE WAY, IF I WAS PRESIDENT, THE FIRST THING I’D DO ON MY VERY FIRST DAY IN OFFICE WAS MAKING SURE THE POLICE DID THEIR JOB AND STOP THE PROSTITUTION ON K-STREET. I WOULD NOT ALLOW THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR TO GO ON SO CLOSE TO WHERE I LAY MY HEAD AT NIGHT.)

The attack on the Confederate Battle Flag is scam, just like most everything that comes out of progressive politics such as global warming, green energy, and socialism. The goals are to suppress minorities into a pity so that they seek the government to help them. The goal is to make more dependents out of the population so that wealth redistribution can be attained, and while doing so, rid the people of their symbols of rebellion so that they might forget and become more compliant in the future.

In the North, my friends who read here often in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and New Jersey are feeling overwhelmed. The Tea Party movements are reeling as the labor unions are attacking in full force, and it feels like we have no friends in the world. In fact, every day in Washington, such as with the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act I see that a new Civil War is eminent. Because one of the first people the president will send the military to round up as a dissident would be someone like me, and when that happens there will be violence, I can promise. That moment will be the Fort Sumter moment for the next Civil War.

And the politicians who think they have everyone beat, are really just kidding themselves. All they really control in this nation is the two coasts, and the big cities. All the green space in between is occupied by gun carrying, Confederate Flag loving, pick-up truck driving, NASCAR lovers who are looking for a fight at a moment’s notice. And as shown it’s not a bunch of radical white men who love the Confederate Flag, its men and women of all color and from all backgrounds who love that flag because of the fight for freedom that it represents.

And when that next war does break out, look to our friends in the South, because they are the heartland. In Dixie, they are the last refuge of freedom on earth and they show no signs of giving it up. In fact, I think the South isn’t too far off from succeeding from the union yet again, with Texas leading the way this time. That will happen before progressive socialism occupies the entire United States and sells us to the doorstep of the United Nation as proposed in Agenda 21.

Back in 2004 I got myself into a bit of trouble when I wrote in my book The Symposium of Justice, about a future Civil War where a group of rebels attacked Washington D.C. Well, I didn’t give a rat’s ass if it pissed off people, because I thought the story needed to be told. Sadly, just about everything I said that would happen 8 years ago is happening now. So if the rest of the story plays out the way I wrote it, I can’t wait to be one of the first to march into Washington and run the corrupt politicians into their hiding places like rats on a sinking ship and free the real slaves of America, the poor girls of the sex trade whom EVERYONE in America is currently ignoring because they fear the organized crime that stands behind the practice. That is the real enemy of our nation and when the next war breaks out, every single one of those sons-of-bitches have coming what they deserve for practicing modern day slavery!

And don’t be surprised if the last thing they see on this earth is a Confederate Battle Flag flying above their bodies as an army of bandits dressed in skull and cross bone bandanas lead the way!

Yeah, keep it up you progressive politicians…………………………keep it up!

Turning 21: The drinking rituals created by State interferrence

My youngest daughter turned 21 this week and I’ll have to report that it was a terrible experience for me. Not so much in the behavior of my daughter. As things evolved and she celebrated her 21st birthday with her sister and friends without any disappointing ritualistic flare, I will have to admit to some level of relief on that phase. But it was around the whole notion that the age of 21, held some intrinsic value that disturbed me in many degrees. One of the aspects of living that I have taught both of my girls is that drinking is not a big deal, and that under no circumstances should a person ever drink to get drunk, or “plastered.” I can’t stand the idea of drunkenness. I have had that viewpoint since I was a fetus, and it persists to this day.

As you might imagine, this puts me at odds with a vast portion of the population whom believe that drunkenness is some sort of rite of passage. Drinking with one’s fellows has a social merit to it that I despise.

Oh, it’s not that I dislike alcohol. I enjoy a good beer when I get one, for instance to celebrate my son-in-law’s birthday a few weeks prior we went to the Hafbrauhaus in Newport, which was considered a big deal since the Hafbrauhaus in Newport was the first of its kind to be built outside of Munich, Germany.

My son-in-law is from England where drinking beer starts around age 14 so visiting such places reminds him of home, and the Hafbrauhaus in Newport is really nice for that kind of thing. I ordered a dark beer in one of their famous liter mugs and enjoyed it so much that I drank it up in about 10 minutes. So I ordered another, which amounted to a two liter bottle of soda once I did the math. I ordered the first beer because I enjoyed it. I ordered the second beer to show my kids who were with me and their long time mutual friend who also just celebrated her 21st birthday, that drinking could be enjoyed without losing yourself to a despicable display of childish laughing and slurred speech. So by ordering the second beer and maintaining myself I hoped that they would learn something. Even in a festive environment like the Hafbrauhause I do not believe that losing one’s mind to drunkenness is acceptable, and by drinking two liters of very strong German beer, I can honestly say I suppressed any effects that the alcohol might have on me.

I learned long ago to do this suppression technique. Whether its 2 liters of Hafbrauhause beer or 10 cans of Coors beer, to me ritualistic drinking is about suppressing drunkenness and maintaining one’s composure, not surrendering to it. In my history you will not find a human soul who can report Rich Hoffman was ever drunk and off his rocker. I simply never let it happen in my entire 44 years of age. Even when running around with some of my old pirate friends who constantly sought to challenge each other with who was the strongest, and meanest, among us I can say that I once drank a whole bottle of Jack Daniels and 10 bottles of Coors in 20 minutes and drove everyone home at over 115 miles an hour. The rest of my friends who tried to keep up, couldn’t, and became drunk. One kid had climbed out of my car window which forced me to slow down so not to rip him from the car at such high speed. And it was a good thing too, because a cop was sitting on the side of the highway just a mile up the road, and when I passed by him my speed was down to 62 M.P.H. I was pulled over for reckless operation, allowing a passenger to ride outside of my car, and when the officer came to my window and saw all the beer bottles, empty Jack Daniels bottles and the sloppy faced gazes of my car’s occupants, the officer assumed that I would be an easy DUI for him and he became excited, like a child who was about to open a present on Christmas morning.

I got out of the car, walked the line on the side of the road backwards, forwards, and to be a smartass I did a hand stand and walked the line on my hands without the officer telling me to. This made the officer mad, so he wanted me to say the alphabet forwards then backwards, which I did three times without any mistakes. Then I had to lean back and touch my nose with my pointer finger from both hands which wasn’t a problem. Because I was not drunk. I did not allow my mind to be altered by the alcohol. It was simply a mind over matter trick. The officer was upset that he couldn’t give me a DUI, or an open container citation because all the containers were empty. And I explained that we had been to a party and the garbage cans were full, so we were going to throw them away at my friend’s house, which the officer did not believe, but he had no choice to accept. So he wrote me a citation for allowing a rider of my car to be outside of a moving vehicle.

I was 18 at the time and during that year the drinking age in the statehouse of Ohio had been changed to 21. For me, since this happened during the year that I turned 18, I would be able to purchase beer at age 19, but no liquor until age 21.  Everyone after my age would have to wait till they were 21.
I remember how stupid I used to think the graduation parties were where 18 year olds would party on those hot June nights like life was coming to an end. I would look at bodies spread all over a living room, or back yard deck plastered from alcohol consumption and I would be baffled as to why. I always took pride in walking away from those events with my mind intact. I can’t imagine a circumstance where such weakness would hold any merit.

So I have watched firsthand what the results of the drinking age being raised to 21 have had on young people. Drinking in our culture is a rite of passage to adulthood. I think that’s personally a stupid gage of elderly status, but that’s how our culture views it. When politicians increased the drinking age, they created a whole new set of problems. They were taking away this rite of passage ritual at a younger age and postponing it until 21; this has put off adulthood for many young people and keeps them artificially immature much longer than is socially healthy.

Worse than anything however, the state, became the governing power of children and decided when a young person was an adult. This became very apparent to me as my youngest daughter rushed out to get her driver’s license changed from the underage shape to the standard “adult” shape. It shocked me how important all these little things were to her, because she wanted to be viewed as an adult, which I already had been doing with her for about 7 years.

Well, I took it personal, because I have let my kids drink if they wanted to since they were 12. I frowned down on it, but I let them drink at family functions and never gave them any restrictions about it. I did this for all the same reasons that drinking isn’t such a big deal to my son-in-law who has been able to drink beer from age 14, because it takes the mythology out of the drinking experience and allows kids to consider themselves as adults.

As family and friends gave my daughter presents for her 21st birthday I quietly had a built in fury at the bottles of alcohol and various items of drinking paraphernalia that she was getting as a present. It was as if everyone we knew had just accepted the stupid drinking age set by the state by a bunch of progressive politicians who were simply following the orders of big money in the insurance industry to find more ways to increase insurance premiums by creating a new class of risky driver, the repeat DUI offender. That’s what the drinking laws really come down to; it is about creating revenue for the state and insurance companies who back politicians. It’s a scam. But the effect the law has had on our culture has been terrible. Kids are putting off adulthood too long, they are drinking illegally for more than three years prior anyway, which cheapens their respect of the law which is socially destructive in itself. And even my daughter, who has been raised without mindless restrictions, felt the pressure set by the State of Ohio to get her new drivers license and identity that said she was now an adult.

Young people want to start communicating with adults at about 15 and 16, and they should be able to drink so that they can ease into adulthood much, much earlier than they do now. I have watched my kids, and their friends whom grew up at our house hit this 21 year old threshold with the kind of pain you might get from eating a whole gallon of ice cream too fast. I had to bite my tongue when I had to hear of drinking stories of little girls who used to play with my kids in our living room becoming so drunk on their 21st birthdays they could barely speak. It has been very painful for me to see people I care about WANTING to lose their minds so that they could celebrate adulthood. Only government could produce such a destructive paradox.

My daughter handled her birthday well. But during all the ceremonies a tinge of pain went up my spine with every gift given that involved alcohol. I kept my mouth shut and did my best to trust her, but it sucked.

It’s hard to explain to these kids what it was like before the State of Ohio and the rest of the nation road the back of bitchy undersexed Mad Mothers (MADD) and their progressive push to make the whole world SAFE. All that occurred was more regulation that made adulthood and the responsibilities that come with it postponed till a person is nearly a quarter of a century old! I began treating my kids as adults when they could first walk, because I wanted them to behave responsibly and to look to themselves, which I’m happy to report, they did on this 21st birthday ceremony. But for the other kids and peer groups around my girls, the drinking rituals have been delayed too long, and the state has overstepped its authority, becoming the symbol of influence over the parents. That’s why I cringed with each present involving alcohol. An entire industry has emerged to fill the market gap of turning 21 for young people, which is a threshold created entirely from the state, for use by the state to not only raise revenue internally, but to advance the “progressive” platform. You see, in just 20 short years from the event I described to you dear reader about my experiences, till my daughter turned 21, our entire society has grown to accept a state imposition without any question. People have forgotten what the world was like before the drinking laws were raised to 21. They have surrendered away a bit of their freedoms willingly and the immaturity that has spawned off onto the youth is unmistakable, but even in kids like my daughter, the state has shown it has authority over her and every member of my family that gave her a drinking gift because they just accepted the laws of progressive politicians without question.

It’s not just the innocence lost of a young person that has turned 21 and drank themselves into a loss of consciousness and disreputable disposition. It’s the authority of the state that is so willingly obeyed that disturbs me. It’s the hunger that young people have to brew in their minds for 3 to 4 years so they can walk into a grocery store and by a bottle of wine, or sit down in a restaurant and buy their date a drink with their dinner. For every young man who is 19 and 20 who takes his date to dinner and wishes to buy a bottle of wine can’t, because the state says that they are too young, they are not yet adults. So is it any wonder that these kids behave like fools and wait too long to start families. Is it any wonder that starting a family is not even something they are interested in now until their late 30’s, that they experiment with sexuality, and illegal drugs while in that limbo period of 18 to 21. From their view point they can’t behave like an adult for many years, so why grow up. And once they grow up they are so used to being immature that they carry some of that behavior into their 30’s, which is WAY too long.

Watching how important drinking was to kids I have helped raise was a grim reminder of how far our society has fallen to a state that has subtly over time robbed freedom, after freedom, after freedom in a quest to control every aspect of our lives, and for every celebration of the magical age of 21 that I have witnessed of late, I am reminded that the threshold of that age is not one created by divine influence, or even the decision by a parent, but from some pot-bellied politician with a comb-over who thinks it was their job to rule us all, and at the same time do their insurance lobbyists a favor by concocting new ways to put money in their pockets. Such thoughts are faraway considerations for these young 21 year olds. Because all they care about is having the STATE, not the parent recognize their authority to be an adult, which is one more nail in the coffin of the nuclear family losing ground to the “NANNY STATE.”

SOCIALISTS LIVE: Hoffman Lenses on Urban Meyer of Ohio State

Urban Meyer this week was signed to a contract with Ohio State to be their head football coach at a cost of $4 million per year for six years, with milestone incentives of $450,000, $750,000 and $1.2 million if Meyer is still employed as the head coach on Jan. 31st of 2014, 2016, and 2018.

That seems like a lot of money for a head coach in a college football program, but Ohio State would argue that they are committed to winning, and being great, so they will spend the money on the right coach so they can climb back on top in the world of college football.  The trouble is, Ohio State is a public institution and they accept tax money to function.  So isn’t paying Urban Meyer so much money an irresponsible use of tax payer money?  After all, it’s easy to spend other peoples money, so for Ohio State to declare that they must spend so much money on a head coach to be competitive brings up a whole bunch of questions, which Doc Thompson of 700 WLW discusses in respect to all the recent pondering about how much education should cost, and how much tax money should property owners in Ohio be required to pay for it.  Listen to that broadcast here:

Well, I’ve spoke a lot about the ridiculous wages among education officials.  The more I looked at it, the more bizarre the behavior seemed.  Just looking at teachers, they make a very healthy wage for the work they are required to perform, compared to the private sector.  But the administrators, many of them in public schools are making $80K and up.  And in college, it is not uncommon for professors to make in the six figures.  It simply does not make sense that when schools ask for more money, or in Ohio State’s case they raise tuition rates, why people are so willing to pay for the high wages of these employees without question.  Because the cost of education could be driven down if administration costs were lowered.  Makes sense—right? 

But then why are so many educators open socialist?  Why do so many employees who work for education lean to the political left?  That doesn’t make sense.  I mean, I can understand a few, but it would seem that there would be an equal number of conservative leaning educators as well, sinceAmericais divided up down the middle in political ideology.  But no, most educators lean to the left—why? 

Many years ago there was a film I like a lot called THEY LIVE.  It’s a science fiction B movie from the 80’s starring Rowdy Roddy Piper.  As a movie it’s very fun, and simple, and a cheap rendition at merging the science fiction and horror genre with action adventure. It’s directed by John Carpenter and makes no attempt to take itself serious.  But the film in all its simplistic narrative is actually quite ingenious, which is why 30 years later people still think of the movie as a “CULT CLASSIC.”  In that film the main character sees that something is terribly wrong with the world, that something isn’t quite right.  He meets a man who tells him that everything is not what it seems, and that if he puts on a pair of special sunglasses, that Piper can see things for how they really are.  Well, at first Roddy Piper thinks the man is crazy, and refuses to put on the glasses.  Ironically, the glasses are produced by a manufacturer by the name of HOFFMAN LENSES. If you want to see what HOFFMAN LENSES look like check out this link:

In that film when the HOFFMAN LENSES are put on, the world as it truly is can be seen.  In the case of THEY LIVE, the world is being run secretly by a group of aliens who are quietly subverting our entire culture.  See the video below to see how it works:

Well, as I have been asking the hard questions about why our culture is behaving in an odd way, I have been assuming that the United States was functioning as a capitalist country and the hippies, goons, freaks, losers, progressives and tree huggers were just a fleeting fantasy of fringe radicalism.  After all, many of their ideas are as alien to me as if they came from another planet, and listening to them speak, they seem to be from a different galaxy all together, so to me, they might as well be extraterrestrials.  So I couldn’t figure out why they seem to be everywhere, in education, in the media, in movies, in magazines, in the government, in music, they seem to be ubiquitously wherever the eye looks, these leftist aliens from some other planet.  It was in doing research about the conditions of Greece that I discovered my HOFFMAN LENSES and I had an epiphany.  

Putting on my metaphorical HOFFMAN LENSES is learned about Socialist International and noted how deeply they were embedded into our world culture, and they are VERY active in penetrating American culture through the progressive Democrats and Republican parties in the United States.  See my article about this epiphany here:

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

I see through my HOFFMAN LENSES thatAmericais not being governed by aliens from another planet like in THEY LIVE.  We are being governed by even worse—SOCIALISTS!

Yes, look closely at that politician, who pretends to be just a Democrat, put on the HOFFMAN LENSES and you will see that they are open SOCIALISTS.  Look at that college professor with HOFFMAN LENSES on, and you will see a complete SOCIALIST.  Look at your local school board and study their policies of equality, taxing the rich, and fairness and you will see a school board of SOCIALISTS.  Look at the news person who proclaims economic justice with HOFFMAN LENSES and you will see a maniacal socialist.  Look at President Obama give a speech with HOFFMAN LENSES on and you will see a pawn to the SOCIALIST EMPIRE that is spreading across the world.  Look at the Department of Education with HOFFMAN LENSES and you will see the nest of American Socialism, for this is where they landed in this county, and entered our government, in 1979 when Jimmy Carter created that department because the socialist unions put pressure on him to generate it.

Take the HOFFMAN LENSES off and where you used to see SOCIALISTS you will now see Ohio State football, and Urban Meyer leading them to an undefeated season.  You will see grown men dancing in their driveways with the television on in their garage watching college football on a Saturday afternoon drinking and eating grilled hamburgers.   You will see grown men rooting for high school kids to throw a ball under the Friday night lights of their local high school hoping that their kid will win a scholarship to a college and save them hundreds of thousands of dollars in college tuition.  You will see parents showing up to watch their children performing in a band concert in the school auditorium.  You will see charity events, fund raisers, and global awareness all seemingly nice and innocent proposals by an altruistic society.  With the lenses off you will see smiling faces, hand holding and a social push for peace and fairness.  Put the HOFFMAN LENSES on you will see SOCIALISM robbing us of freedom, of individual thought, of liberty which took over a hundred years to win from Europe only to have it slip back away under European control year by year since the 1850’s.  You will see the strings stuck to the legs of the football players at Ohio State and how Urban Meyer dances to them and how ESPN is the curtain on the stage.  You will see how the strings dance off into the Department of Education where policies are set by puppet master socialists and sold to us through the puppet show of sports. 

Without the HOFFMAN LENSES on yet knowing what is actually going on right in front of your eyes you will see how trivial all the discussion about draft picks, coaching salaries, and sports statistics really are.  It becomes quickly evident that the reason education professionals are so well paid is so they keep the HOFFMAN LENSES off, and do not attempt to look too carefully at what policies come to them from the Department of Education.  They are paid so well so they continue to advance the cause of socialism as part of the ruling elite, and play their part in keeping the world blind to the true intentions of world socialism. 

It is not the desire of your local school board to balance the budget to live within reasonable means.  It is their intention to tax the rich, and convert society slowly over time using our children as hostages to a scheme of wealth redistribution.  It is not the goal of college to be affordable.  It is the goal of these institutions to force parents and their children into a debt beyond measure, and keep everyone not working for financial freedom, but eternal debt, so they buy into the scheme of socialism.  They do not question the cost of education because they have bought into the program of sporting events.  They love the football, they love the basketball, they love college sports, and the recruiting process that is built in high school sports.  While society is happy with these nice distractions, they are reluctant to put on the HOFFMAN LENSES and see the truth. 

That is why Urban Meyer was paid so much money to rescue the Ohio State Football program from the mediocrity it currently suffers from.  Because without victory, people might reach for the HOFFMAN LENSES, and begin to see the truth, and that cannot happen if socialism is to continue its world wide domination of which only America stands in the way.   

And it’s not just Ohio State, but it’s the entire education empire.  The dance between education and government is a waltz of socialism that requires viewing with the HOFFMAN LENSES to see.  Until those metaphorical glasses are put on, and the truth can be seen for what it is, all those who refuse the truth are slaves to illusion in a denial that is infections and requires more and more beer to be consumed to subvert the nagging understanding that something just isn’t quite right. 

Have courage!   Put on the HOFFMAN LENSES and SEE for the first time what you always knew was there all along!!!!!!!!

And if you have never seen THEY LIVE, I’ll make it easy for you.  Here is the entire movie.   Enjoy!

Who is the Radical: The meaning of success.

I often share moments with my family on this site, and talk about personal experience not to hear myself talk, but to share my successes with those who do not know, or understand what success looks like. As I look around at my fellows, and shop with them at the grocery store, or eat with them at the restaurants, or look at them on our roadways one thing is very evident, that many people have no clue as to where they are going, or what they are doing. They simply do what they are told and show up expecting something to happen, and when nothing ever does, they are eternally disappointed.

When these panicky parents of Lakota and other places leave me these nasty messages with all the pretention of wisdom, as if their lives have been fully lived, and they are in somehow a position to lecture me as to my social obligations, I have to laugh. They are like children telling their parents the ways of the universe, when all they’ve ever experienced is the television in their living rooms. I have to remind myself, even though many of them are close to my age, that they are an uncertain species, who lack confidence in their own child raising abilities. So I often out of the kindness of my heart leave behind little videos and messages for them to use as guides for their own lives, so that they might learn something. I do not however need to learn anything from any of them.

For instance, I recently worked with my son-in-law to help throw a surprise party for my daughter’s 22nd birthday, which I talked about on these pages. Well, it was even more pleasurable to read what she had to say about it a few days later. When I read thoughts like what she produces, it confirms in me that what I say is accurate. I have had great success raising my children. Not just my own, but several others as well. I have read and studied for over four decades now. My education did not end when I graduated from high school. In fact, there was never a teacher who taught me more than I learned on my own. And there was never a teacher who taught my children more than I taught them, and I’d say that they have learned more on their own than I have been able to teach them. So where does that leave public education? Well, for my family, it was a chance to play an instrument. A chance to interact socially. But most of the crap my kids learned in school I had to clarify and undo much of the damage along the way with long talks that went deep into many nights.

My success is confirmed in my daughter’s success, in her ability to think, adapt, translate, love, appreciate, and interact with the world around her. Read her words for yourself.

Many of the families I know cannot stand to be around each other. But this is not the case in our family. The video below shows a snow day from last year where we were all stuck at home because the snow was too intense from the night before. So we found a way to have adventures in and around our house.

So when these tax advocates attempt to paint me as some kind of extremist, as a radical, I have to wonder, by what measure? What is the track record of my accusers? Do they have success at living? I don’t mean to say they are successful because they make a lot of money. But are they truly successful? Have they raised children that actually want to spend time with them when they are grown out of all the options in the world available to them?

My use of aggressive language is simply an understanding of what I’m dealing with in regard to the actual radicals of our age. They call me radical for calling them what they are, failures at life who wish to pretend they are successful by spending money to supplement their lack of parental skill. I’m happy to help them learn where they are wrong, and how they can fix their lives before it’s too late. But I do not need anything from any of them, and it is me they call names when they come to my door and ask me to raise taxes on myself for their own distorted perceptions. I am not a radical for telling them no, and calling them names for interrupting my living with such preposterousness.

Radicalism is the President of the School Board calling a prominent local politician to instruct him that “it is not very wise to not support the school levy,” of which that politician took as a threat. Radicalism is levy supporters advocating boycotts of local businesses who are perceived to support the anti-tax effort. Its teachers who make over 60K a year protesting that they aren’t making enough money for contractually working 9 months a year and 7.5 hours a day. Radicalism is school administration officials who tell parents and other volunteers that they cannot have a bake sale to raise money to save their band program if the levy fails, because if such a thing were to occur, the school district couldn’t use program cuts as extortion against the community to pass the levy. Radicalism is telling the parents who worked hard to put their kids in a Lakota School that if they don’t pay higher taxes that their kids future is in jeopardy, as if the teachers will stop working if their demands are not met. Radicalism is in principals sending negative emails about the community not passing tax levies to their entire staff after levy failures, inciting more anger toward those in the community who didn’t approve a tax increase. Radicalism is ignoring the signs of troubled teens even though there are many paid administrators to act as councilors, and completely failing the job when it counts. Radicalism is in downplaying the acts of a teacher openly participating in child pornography then pretending that it’s an isolated incident and nobody knew about it ahead of time. Radicalism is in a teacher crossing the line to seduce a student’s parent, using the child to begin the deed. When the family confronts the principal, the teacher’s direct supervisor, the only concern is to move the violator from one school to another and cover up the story. Radicalism is teachers preaching to their students how they can help their school pass the levy by going out late on Friday and Saturday nights to steal all the signs of the tax opponents resulting in thousands of dollars in vandalism. And when the incidents are reported by the victims, the issue is brushed under the rug by the authorities who secretly root for the school levies to pass so their police levies also pass when the time comes. Radicalism is when balancing a budget only requires asking the union employees of the district to take a 5% cut in salary when they are already extremely well compensated. The reason is the unions do not want their members to question the union dues their member’s pay, which is close to that amount anyway. Radicalism is expecting the public to forever increase their taxes to compensate for a failed political model of progressive leaning idealists.

I would consider any one of those issues to warrant fury among the public, yet every single one of them has happened at Lakota during the last year, and the public has been too guilty of being “civil.” In their civility, they have been used, and taken advantage of.

The deck is stacked against the tax payer in virtually every conceivable fashion. With our tax money we have built these institutions who believe they have a right to rule us like an empire. They consider any questioning of their behavior to be radical, so there is no way to escape it. So with that in mind, why should I not call them what they are, socialists? They may not be socialists in the way of the Soviet Union, but they are socialists by way of Greece. Is calling public education socialism radical? But isn’t it? What kind of children are they producing?

Well I already know the answer. I’ve been there and done it, and I know what works and what doesn’t. And a teacher in a public school can only supplement what the parent does in the home. And if the parent is too busy to do the job, the child will suffer. You cannot throw money at a teacher and expect them to make your child into gold. That in itself is radical!

I offer these tid-bits of wisdom for your use dear reader. I tend to enjoy my older friends more than my younger ones, even those my own age, because the older friends have achieved a comfortable understanding about how life works. That’s why many of them are now Tea Party members and active in conservative politics, because they learned how not to be burdens on society. But the younger ones, the ones trained to be socialists in their public educations, the ones who expect things to drop into their laps and scratch their heads in wonder why their kids can’t wait to grow up and leave their households never to write unless coaxed into it, because they are terrible parents who are drowning in insecurity, and they are pretentious enough to expect the rest of the world to rescue them from their fallacy.

No, I’m not the radical. I’m the angry guy who decided not to bring a knife to a gun fight but to bring the gun! I’m the guy who recognizes what the real game is all about and I don’t want to play, and I certainly don’t want to dump a lot of money in an education system that is broken to its foundations and advocated by parents who are also broken beyond repair and hopeless.

But I do hope for them anyway. I hope they read what I put down here and learn something; I hope their lives will be enriched just a little. I hope those things because their children actually deserve a chance at life to become something, and their chances of that happening are greatly reduced if their parents aren’t very good at their jobs. The real radicals of education are those who seek to hide their lack of parental skill behind the masks of school spirit and a financial empire that seeks to govern every aspect of our social well-being. No thanks. I’ll stick to my methods which work………………..and are a lot cheaper!
