Old Men Wondering What Happened: The Payday of The Great Society

Even though I am still angry over the coverage by the two guys in the video below, and their involvement in repealing Issue 2 in Ohio, I couldn’t help but be a bit touched by these two men who are both in their 60’s and are wondering now in 2012 what happened to America. What happened to the Great Society of Lynden B. Johnston and the dreams of John F. Kennedy? What happened to the America of the late 50’s and 60’s when Bill Cunningham of 700 WLW and Sheriff Jones of Butler County where just starting out in their adulthoods? Where are the promises? Where are the benefits? What happened to America? Listen to their very heartfelt discussion here.

Millions upon millions of college graduates are discovering that they were lied to. In the early 1990’s when Ross Perot was declaring that there would be a “giant sucking sound” when NFTA was signed is the America we are currently in. Taxes and regulations have pushed businesses to other countries. America has been positioned by several globalists’ presidents starting with George Bush Sr., then Bill Clinton, then George Bush Jr., and now Obama to pull America into a world ruled by the U.N., and that has taken away the paper factories in Hamilton, that Sheriff Jones was talking about. The unions killed the automotive industry too, which also used to be in Hamilton. In fact, most of the technical jobs that America used to be good at are gone, now overseas while the foolish government schools encouraged an entire generation represented by Cunningham and Jones to become doctors, lawyers, and politicians.

And America shows what a country made up of lawyers looks like as litigation is at an all time high. There are so many doctors that they’ve had to invent diseases to convince people to use their services. And politics is a travesty upon the American philosophy and for all practical purposes is a complete joke that has no respect of the people the politicians represent. Greedy professors at universities have demanded higher and higher wages, many of them making over six figures and for doing what? Then to pay for these dangerous, ideological academics, public colleges have had to increase their tuition rates to extraordinary amounts breaking the back of the parents who just want to send their kids to the colleges to get a decent education. But that’s not what’s happening. All the creation jobs are moving overseas, America only has service jobs to offer these students coming out of high school and college, and those service jobs do not pay what the kids were promised when they racked up a $100K tuition bill.

The Great Society of the LBJ’s and FDR’s were an incomprehensible failure and the results are pouring in. Only one generation of that Great Society did well with the inventions against the Constitution that those Presidents engaged in to deliver our society to the circumstance it is currently in. The jobs are gone because the looters and lawyers drove them away. The high expectations of all the college graduates who want their own office in a plush environment, and end up in a cubical working for yet another financial firm selling 401 K plans that are virtually worthless in a market controlled by socialist tendencies, have proven irrefutably catastrophic. There are not enough skilled workers now who know how to weld, how to turn a wrench, or to tap a bolt. America let The Great Society and the liberal teachers of government education to teach our young to not change their own oil in their cars, to not put roofs on their homes, or even fix a dishwasher. We have an entire generation of young people who don’t even know what to do with a hand tool. In fact, it’s considered fashionable to not know how to handle a hammer, or drive home a nail. We have social engineering in public education to thank for that. Young people are more interested in their sexual orientation rather than being concerned about developing an actual skill they can use.

I was working with group of engineers the other day, young people right out of college and we were pulling a threaded bushing out of a tooled surface. The thing had wedged in place and could not be removed with any idea passed around the group. I approached and wondered what the holdup was and they told me of their dilemma. I pulled out my Leatherman tool off my belt and grabbed hold of the bushing after tapping it a few times with a brass hammer, and twisted in increments with a technique I learned years ago in a machine shop. The bushing came loose and the young engineers were looking at the Leatherman like I held some thunderbolt from the heavens. They were utterly perplexed at how easy it was to remove the bushing.

That is why America is failing. Kids have learned all the wrong things. Their values are wrong. Their intentions are wrong. And their ability to adapt is severally handicapped with an education given to them by the same greenie weenies who wish for America to become just another state in the United Nations. America has been robbed of its wealth in money, technology and business. But it has also been robbed of its common sense, and has trained its youth to be service oriented instead of skilled. Sadly those things happened to America on the watch of the two guys speaking above. Their conversation is like the many thousands of similar conversations going on all over the country right now among the same demographic age group, they are asking, “What went wrong. Why didn’t we see this coming?”

The generation of The Great Society didn’t see it coming for the same reasons that we go to a magic show and try and figure out the illusions. The Great Society was intended to deceive and so it did. But the cost of the illusion was not a simple ticket to a show. It was our country, our economy, and our very souls. We have been lied to, and now it hurts to realize it.

I look angrily at this group of people who voted for and supported this Great Society, because they left my generation with a mess to clean up. We have to be the bad guys who must point out all the faults of those foolish presidents who gave away what wasn’t theirs and made promises they weren’t equipped to keep. And people will suffer as a result. Young people will not have the jobs they expected. Going to school will not guarantee a good and stable life where everything that breaks can be hired out to a specialist. Tomorrow’s American will have to be more like the American’s who built the country. They’ll fix their own cars and dishwashers. They’ll grow their own food. They may even make their own cloths. Because the lie of the Great Society that promised a utopia for all the unskilled to gain through academics a respect that would carry them through life has come up for payment, and the debt will prove painful.


America can and will be good again, but not until the young engineers, the grocery store clerk, the banker, and the waitress can learn to use a Leatherman tool to fix a simple problem. It is not in the education and transformation into an academic that makes America strong. It was, and will always be, the ability of the American mind to figure out the solution to problems that leave the overly educated academic reeling for weeks, because their minds were destroyed by the illusions of The Great Society. In the meantime, the old men will ponder what changed in the years gone by, and will feign astonishment at the circumstances of modern America. But the solutions will not be in more of The Great Society, but much less of it, so that individualism can return to the theater of American ingenuity and the skilled hands that manipulate a Leatherman.

A CURE FOR CANCER: So why does the FDA want to kill us?

I do not go to the doctor except when I have tissue repair that is beyond the ability of superglue, or there are internal structural problems. I never go to the doctor for a sickness; I require my body to heal on its own, to work out the puzzle and rally to defend it from diseases. I do not take drugs. I consider pharmaceuticals to be welfare for the body. It makes the body weak and dependent on assistance just as it does for whole groups of people. Drugs make the body a slave just as welfare makes people slaves to government. My love of freedom does not just exist as a political philosophy, but is dominate in my personal philosophy as well. I do not trust medicine, or doctors for the same reasons I don’t trust politicians, and educators subscribing to a greenie weenie philosophy. And I do not trust the government divisions like the FDA, the EPA, the Department of Education, et cetera because they are simply monopolies who control the free exchange of ideas to protect the empires they build. Anyone who knows anything about lobbies in Washington knows that the pharmaceutical lobby is one of the most powerful lobbies on Capital Hill.

The Food and Drug Administration was created obviously with good intentions, as all ideas are, but the trouble is like the EPA, they are a monopoly with too much power, and this makes them corrupt since lobby power bypasses the checks and balances of our Republic and causes those government agencies to act against the American people instead of protecting it, as they were intended. As it stands now the FDA is a corrupt organization that is standing in the way of free enterprise, which can bring to the world new developments in science to greatly improve the health of all people, but instead serve to advance a political agenda that is set by lobbyists. At the FDA, it is controlled completely by the pharmaceutical lobby which desires for people to become sick just enough to become addicted to the drugs they manufacture. Pharmaceutical companies desire for people to become sick, so they can profit off of a prolonged death. They stand very much against any medical techniques that sponsor regenerative growth, reversed aging, and elimination of cancer, because those pharmaceutical companies are using the FDA as their personal arm of authority to crush competition before they ever get off the ground. To get a taste of just how bad the situation is, have a look at this video.

To the reader who thinks this proclamation is too far into the realm of conspiracy, I bring to your mind the situation of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who has developed a cancer fighting method called Antineoplastons which has successfully treated cancer patients of some of the most incurable forms of terminal cancer without chemotherapy or destructive surgeries. His methods have shielded his patients from becoming addicted to drugs for the remainder of their lives. That’s a wonderful discovery—right? Well, if you’re the FDA and you want to maintain the monopoly that pharmaceuticals have over society, then Dr. Burzynski is your enemy. That is why even though Dr. Burzynski saved many lives and cured them of their terminal cancers, the FDA attacked him with 4 Federal Grand Jury trials over a decade attempting to indict Dr. Burzynski to stop his practice of healing patients using Antineoplastons.

In 1995 a fifth relentless Grand Jury attempt by the FDA finally indicted Dr. Burzynski resulting in two federal trials with two sets of jurors pursuing a maximum sentence of 290 years in prison and $18.5 million dollars in fines. Both sets of jurors in the end found Burzynski not guilty of any wrongdoing. Burzynski has prevailed and has now completed Phase II FDA-supervised clinical trials in 2009 and is beginning the final phase testing. To help cover the $300 million dollar cost of funding the final phase of qualification Burzynski put out a film called Burzynski, The Movie. It covers the 14 year journey of Dr. Burzynski and his patients to bring to the market of free enterprise a cancer fighting technique that will save millions, upon millions of lives. But anyone can see how difficult the FDA made if for a Dr. in the medical field who had a slam dunk method of solving much of the worlds major health concerns, to not only prevent Antineoplastons from becoming a legitimate medical option, but to put Burzynski in jail for the rest of his life so the good doctor would not be a threat to the pharmaceutical lobby who wanted to protect their empire.

To understand how evil the FDA is behaving in the Burzynski situation, or the deliberate restriction of energy methods used by the EPA, or the ATF, or the Department of Education, the labor unions, virtually every government organization who seeks to protect their jobs with constant harassment of new ideas I can report a lunch conversation I had just the other day with a group of people who work for the defense industry, and are hoping for a war with Iran. These men I had lunch with weren’t bad men. In fact, I’d call some of them distant friends. However, the desire to inject into their lives a secure government contract was the dominate thought on their minds. They like everyone else worry about bringing home money to their families and having a good life. So they wish for war with Iran to keep money pouring into the defense of the United States. This is why the super secrete Skull and Bones society at Yale has WAR as it’s mantra, and why many of the wealthy friends of these people invest their money in defense oriented businesses. War gives governments reasons to make new laws, and spend money on government employees and technology. War is good for the defense economy. And just the same, sick people are good for pharmaceutical business. People who have cancer are good for the millions of nurses, doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, grocery stores who sell drugs, the countless American employees who work in the industry of maintaining a gradual slow death of American citizens. They do it because they wish to stay employed, not for the ultimate goal of restoring life.

Human beings because they are essentially selfish creatures do not think of the mangled bodies war causes. They only want a pay check so they can live. And the people who work in the business of pharmaceutical companies do not consider that their drugs are slowly killing millions. They simply want to make a living, and the FDA is there to protect those jobs from threats like “INNOVATION.”

Oh yes dear reader. You do not have to die. You do not have to be sick. You do not have to drive a car down the road at a pathetic 70 M.P.H. You do not have to attend a government school to become intelligent. You do not have to worry about Green Technology and limited power on earth. You do not have to worry about running out of money. All the problems above are issues created by government with the sole intention of maintaining their monopolies. Free enterprise has all solutions to every problem with infinite wealth building possibilities. The only reason we do not have them is because of the world’s push for socialism, which is just a way to maintain their monopolies of control. Just like the FDA going after Burzynski because the Doctor had a better method of curing cancer, the FDA and the larger congressional and presidential administrations behind those government divisions were concerned about the jobs lost if the pharmaceutical companies lost their monopoly on sickness. Because lost jobs mean lost votes, the thieves of government want the ability to continue to loot from the tax payer, so they will do anything to maintain that easy revenue, even if it means stopping the solutions to cancer to do it.

I have written much on this topic of government standing in the way of innovation. For just a few examples of what the government is holding us back from I invite you to view some of those articles for more information which collaborates with the information shown here, just to show that it’s not just the FDA who acts against good ideas to protect monopoly power of its lobbyists. You can see many of them collected at this posting. ENJOY!

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/08/kepler-22-is-discovered-by-nasa-the-pivot-point-of-human-history/

This is why I do not go to the doctor. I do not seek guidance from inferior minds who serve monopolies of death. I look to myself to solve problems and when I discover them I’m inclined to share, because I believe the world is full of infinite ideas. In fact, I write here everyday not out of fear that someone will take my words. I do not write here to make money. I can always come up with new ideas because I’m an idea factory. I do not understand the term “writers block,” I do not understand sickness. I do not understand regulation of power, because to me, everything can be solved. I do understand Dr. Burzynski, Paul Moller, (referred to in the linked article) and many like these men who have the ability to think outside the box and bring society a never-ending supply of whatever it desires. And when we run out of room on earth for all the people, we can take our act into space, to the moon, to Mars and maybe even Keplar 22. The only reason your loved one must die is to fulfill the prophecy of the looters in government who are so short-sighted that they cannot see the forest for the trees. Death, war, sickness, and scientific limitations will always permeate our lives with darkness and evil, so long as the restricted minds of thought and imagination rule as thieves in government.

Men like Dr. Burzynski are the men of the overman, and should be the ones who set the pace for all that humanity requires without the restriction of the looter to waste their time and energy with the troubles of the mediocre. It is those like Burzynski who carry atlas on their backs as the government looters of the FDA, EPA, DOE, DOT, Congress, The Senate, The White House and all others clamor on to be carried about by the sheer strength of the overman, yet offer nothing to help but the burden of their weight.

The difference between the two modes of thinking, the looter and the overman, are simply ones of philosophy. The looter looks for collective salvation even if death is the cost. They see themselves as but a cell on the planet earth. The overman sees no problem that does not have a solution, and the universe is their playground. The earth is just one planet out of millions, and to restrict the mind to one small planet in the scheme of the universe is a foolish notion that is a quantum neglect, just as is cancer and the sicknesses that kill for no reason but the maintenance of a feeble empire.

A more extensive examination of the behavior shown by the FDA against Dr. Burzynski I believe has a greater revelation behind simple short-sightedness displayed in the microcosm of reality. Because in the macrocosm, I believe the many thousands of employees and lobbyists who act as cells in the arm of government known as the FDA attached to the body of government called America are more out of jealously than anything, for they identify at a primal level with the correct assumption that the FDA are very much like the cancer cell who lives by killing the health of a good cell. This is what comes to my mind as Obama rejects the Keystone Pipeline in spite of the wealth it would bring to North America by way of energy. The goal of the cancer cell is to kill, to destroy everything in its way till the body dies. And the FDA knows that they are a cancer cell to the medical industry and the wealth of the nation, and they sought to combat Dr. Burzynski in defense of their own in the cancer cells that would be killed in the treatment of Burzynski’s cancer fighting cures. The FDA sought to kill off the good Doctor before the Doctor killed off their friends.

Lucky for us they failed………………

Impeach President Obama: DOMESTIC ENEMIES MUST BE DEALT WITH

“Emperor Obama expands government anyway!” That’s what the guy in the video below says about how Obama appointed Richard Corday to a new consumer watchdog position in the government. To term this activist president in such a way is completely accurate. Obama is an arrogant power grabber who truly believes he’s a dictator. He has very little respect for the United States Constitution, where he’s stated in the past that he believes the document is old, and requires constant revision over time………………..spoken like the true looting lawyer that he is.

Obama used a loophole in the recess rules to appoint Corday and he’s not the first president to do so. Both Bush’s used this practice, Reagan did, Teddy Roosevelt did, but Obama has taken it to a new level with this “bending” of the interpretation of the Constitution terminology with an activism that is shockingly disrespectful.

This is why I’m writing to my congressman, Speaker Boehner shown in the letter below, and recommending that he take immediate action to censure and or impeach President Obama from the office of the President of the United States for the simple reason that it’s the right thing to do. You can read the exact letter that I hand delivered to my congressman today for further context.

January 16, 2012

Speaker of the House
Congressman John Boehner
Butler County Office
7969 Cincinnati-Dayton Road
Suite B
West Chester, Ohio 45069

Subject: Appointment of Richard Cordray for Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Dear Mr. Boehner:

It is certainly not against Mr. Cordray that I address this to you, nor is it the involvement of presidential politics in an election year. It is simply a matter of the current President of the United States, Barack Obama taking steps, most notably the recent appointment of Richard Cordray for a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to abuse his power as president by-passing congressional approval for initiatives he desires to set in motion.

The law means nothing if it is ignored, or manipulated out of convenience, and the President has openly participated in “high crimes and misdemeanors” as defined by Article 2 section 4 of The Constitution with his willingness to abuse his power to bypass the checks and balance system put in place with a congressional body. I understand fully that such an act by a Congress led by you is difficult and would go in the opposite direction of your attempts to work in a bi-partisan way with the president and his political party.

I sympathize that any act of impeachment or censure that would be mandated by a majority vote of Congress most likely does not have the two-thirds vote in the Senate to pursue such a measure to its end. But that does not eliminate the necessity for action by the branch of government that you represent on my behalf. I am troubled to consider what inaction by this Congress will mean in the future, if this abuse of power is not checked against the balances of protection the Constitution creates to prevent extreme activism on behalf of this President and future Presidents who will point at this time and the case-law that follows to maneuver and erode away the United States Constitution even more.

The acts of aggression were not done by you or your Congress, and I would hope that you would do as you swore to and protect our Constitution with your office and not feel you must shoulder the blame on yourself or your political party. But feel free to declare it was me, your constituent who demanded action in the pursuit of justice, because it must be done, or worse will befall us in the years to come.

Sincerely Yours,

Rich Hoffman

The strategy of Emperor Obama is the classic Cloward and Pivan tactic of overwhelming a system with so much information that nobody can fixate on any one issue. In this last year, the Obama administration has launched the Attack Watch website connected to his campaign page asking Americans to inform against other Americans who disagree with the President, he pushed for aggressive language in the NDAA Act and signed it on New Year’s Eve, this after ramming health care down our throats in the first year of his presidency which is on its way to the Supreme Court where Obama is counting on the commerce clause to create case-law against the Constitution severely weakening it further, he has used his Justice Department as a personal weapon to try to advance tougher gun regulations with the failed “Fast and Furious” scandal that makes President Reagan’s Iran Contra Affair look like a child’s game. As 2011 was ushered in as a New Year one year ago, it was Net Neutrality that grabbed for more power through the FCC, and now we have aggressive legislation being supported by Obama to regulate the internet.

Obama works fast, he pours on so many issues that the media who eats out of his hand cannot keep up with the stories fast enough. With a smile the President waves off all prying eyes with the skill of a magician, and when the eyes pry anyway he declares racism, or plays class warfare between the rich and some made up middle class who seek to trade away their freedom for the feed which comes out of governments hand like cattle to the feed wagon. History will show that Obama is a bad, corrupt man, who his deeply troubled like many Roman Emperors who became tyrants. Nero comes to mind. Nero was rumored to have played a fiddle as Rome burned, and Obama seems to be attempting the same thing in America. Obama is proof that every family needs a good strong father in it; because the lack of one in Obama’s life seems to have destroyed his ability to tell right from wrong and left holes in his life that only power can fill.

Thinking back on how Obama ran for office in 2008 swearing to close down Guantanamo Bay and criticizing the water boarding of terror suspects, he has now signed into the law of the land the NDAA Act that allows the water boarding of Americans. Where are his concerns over human rights and peace now? Do any of the fools who voted for him still think he’s honest, and well-intentioned? He has shown the pattern over the last four years of being incredibly aggressive, power-hungry, manipulative, and out-right brutal. He counts on the masses to be too stupid to call him on it, and he trusts that his skin color will prevent any body of justice from coming after him, because he has armies of collations that will shout down his attackers as “racists,” if they do. By the way dear reader, do you know what water boarding is? Do you know what the NDAA professes to do to you if you fall on the wrong side of government opinion? Have a look.

In relation to everything mentioned above, Obama right after signing the NDAA Act came to my state of Ohio, which is a battleground state for him, and picked a Ohioan in Corday to expand government to his liking, and then blamed Congress for his “need” to violate the checks and balances of the Constitution for the sake of the country, as if he were the declared savior of it. In fact, he has recently declared himself as a “Warrior of the Middle Class,” and virtually everything he is doing, he’s doing for the selfish notion of getting re-elected, since he is so drunk on power, he knows his life will be meaningless without it. President Obama is the classic con man, and we’d expect to see his type as the sleazy car salesman at a junk dealer, or that pervert who picks up drunk women fresh off the rebound close to the time a bar closes. Typically lowlife characters like Obama do not make it to such a high office, but within the United States there are forces who wish to see American destroyed, so Obama has over a billion dollars in contributions to fight with in his war chest, so even an inept, power-hungry oaf like him can appear to be a brilliant strategist.

This is why Congress must act against the president to not only defend itself from a very aggressive president, but to defend our Constitution from an enemy who resides in our White House. When public servants take the oath of office they swear to protect the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic. Well, we have a domestic enemy to the Constitution in the current President, and he needs to feel the justice of those who seek to protect it from people like him.

I encourage you dear reader and do as I have done, copy and paste the letter I wrote and fill in your own information if you’d like. But do write a similar letter to your congressman urging them to act on your behalf to bring justice against the abuse of power that President Obama has taken against our Constitution, and a willingness to slap each American in the face in a mad quest for power that is as insane as the most feared, and tyrannical of the Roman Emperors.

A Window without Glass: Jean Schmidt and lobbying on K-Street

WARNING–WARNING…………..I need a few hours of your time.  Be sure to read this through, then watch every video completely.  I know it’s a lot………..but it’s for your own good. 

The House Ethics Committee in Congress is a scrub organization designed to white wash the sins committed by members of congress for the goal of keeping corruption flowing in full force. The corruption comes from lobbyists on K-Street which everyone in Washington know about, and seek to protect their access to the tree of fraud that has been made out of our body of government in all three branches. When we speak of members of political influence we often term things in the political right and left categories. But to me, many politicians even on the perceived political right are way far to the left of me, and such people are those like Jean Schmidt, who is a Republican, but is reported to be one of the 14 most corrupt members of congress there is, which is quite a statement. To learn what some of the allegations are against Jean Schmidt, Doc Thompson of 700 WLW and Chris Finney of C.O.A.S.T discuss the issue on the video below:

When I hear the list of wrongdoing Finney named off involving Congresswoman Schmidt I can’t help but think about how broken the entire system is, because Schmidt is labeled a political conservative, she frequently attends Tea Party events, and puts on a pleasant face in public appearances most of the time, yet she is wrapped up in lobby scandals. She reminds me often of the school teacher, or superintendent who begs for more tax money, and has a face that you want to trust. Most of the time when we think of corruption we have an idea of a man with a mustache and a comb over sporting a pot belly hiding in an airport bathroom with his pants down around his ankles looking for some sexual solicitation with another man while publicly pretending to support family first initiatives. And while much of the time our instincts are correct about these types, all too often, the looter, the deceiver of your hard-earned money and seeker of your trust looks like the everyday person.

Some of the worst looters that there ever where are those who can deceive while pretending friendship, yet at the same time working toward the intentions of scandal. And our government is filled with these people like Jean Schmidt and worse who we pay good money to do our business, but they sell out too quickly for large amounts of money to be made as a political insider.

There is no question that the power-brokers, the politicians on the right and the left who are both way to the left of me will say that Rich Hoffman is a radical right-winger. “He’s crazy,” they might say. And the minions who eat from the power-brokers hands in the media are worse, they are so broken as a society of people they aren’t even worth the breath that comes from their bodies. I consider the exhaust spewing from a car in 15 degree weather to have more value than the apologist who utters socialism from their mouths about the middle class. I am tired of those who proclaim that racism is alive and well at the expense of freedom and that girls should be in the Boy Scouts and boys should be in the Girls Scouts. I am tired of the feminist who declares that she doesn’t need a man and can raise a family without one. And the two men who think they can raise a well-balanced child without a mother. I’m tired of open borders which is designed to cheapen the value of American Citizenship. I’m tired of hearing about slavery when slavery is going on right now at K-Street. I’m tired of everyone letting a dictator rise to power because he’s black while the blacks I supported for office are attacked and smashed to oblivion because they are too politically to the right. I’m tired of gun grabbing looters who wish to disarm us so they don’t have to worry about being shot while they try to steal from us. I’m tired of a public education system that started with the intention of spreading socialism conceived from the mind of Horace Mann with the best of intentions, but proving a dismal failure, and then building our entire society on the foundations of the broken blocks without question.

I’m tired of the practice of giving political criminals called politicians justification with a silent endorsement. And for congresswomen like Jean Schmidt it does not matter if she is a Republican, or that she attends Tea Party events. I am tired of public servants making a living off public office and using it as a platform to gain wealth!

I do not care what a thief thinks of me. I do not care what the con man, the sexual pervert, the manipulator, the schemer, and the political pundits of political correctness who wrote the book with all the rules, think. I don’t like rules and I’m not following them. I don’t like the direction these low-life types are taking our society and I’m certainly not going to follow.

Jean Schmidt is not to be worshipped as honorable, and neither is John Boehnor. If I saw John at the local Ace Hardware store I doubt I’d even say hi. And Barack Obama, I don’t even think I’d look twice at the guy. The only place I’d like to meet Barack Obama is on a basketball court one on one, full court so I could stomp his skinny ass to pulp with a score of 70 to 2.

I do not care or understand these things because I chose not to. I am happy with my thoughts which are elevated beyond the reach of these simpletons. I like my books and watching the trees blow in the setting sun through my front window as I read. I like the unique foods my wife makes and the way it smells coming out of the kitchen. And I like it when my family is all in the same place at the same time. But I like most to be left alone by the congested minds of the looters and their tangled thoughts. I like to be free of their comings and goings, of their lack of courage toward their weak perversions. I like to be free of the power climbers and their quests of self-importance, for something meaningful to be placed on their tomb stones. I like to be free of those who are preparing for death with each step they take in life, because they get in the way of me trying to live my life with each step.

I like to be free of the fear mongering, because I’m not afraid of anything, so all their chatter is only noise to my ears. They use their chatter to confuse the weak and make livings for themselves by looting the fearful, the fat assed panic driven mother, the man who is still addicted to his mother, the man who never overcame the power of his father with strength of his own. Those types are the tyrants of this earth and they prop up criminals in congress to be their princesses and princes because they seek those who are just as pathetic as they are for office. Even those nobles of thievery seek their king. Jean Schmidt with all her talk about Barack Obama was seen getting the autograph of the President at a joint session of Congress which says everything anyone needs to know about Mrs. Schmidt.

We can be angry at Obama but he’s just one of the looters. It is people like Jean Schmidt who function without any ethics, but simply speak whatever sounds good to the camera, and believes nothing, that give Obama his power. Why should Obama fear the people’s Congress when people like Jean Schmidt is one of its guardians? The biggest failure of public education is that it has produced such low quality people. It has made people who cannot figure out who to vote for because they are so stupid they don’t know right from wrong. They are stupid not because of their brains, but their education made them passive and foolish who worship some godly figure at the front of a class room. This has left their minds susceptible to the looters of politics like Barack Obama and Jean Schmidt who write laws for the rest of society they believe they are exempt of. And this is why a House Ethics Committee in Congress that covers up crimes of congress and hires PR directors to control how the public perceives the looting that goes on right in front of their faces exists, to put on a good face to the public while actually assisting corrupt congressional members to commit crimes at the tax payer expense.

Yeah, if I’m too far to the right for all those punks, goons, freaks and losers on the left, then fine. I can live with that and not lose one minute of sleep. And the more that these looters attempt to intrude on my life with their desire to rob me and my friends and neighbors, the more you’re just going to piss me off, because I cannot become so stupid to endorse their tactics with my complacency. If I dumped out of my mind every conceivable thought it has in it, I would still feel like a genius next to those buffoons in government and their insect like behavior that is driven off only primal instincts and blank initiatives.

If you doubt any of what I have said here, go back and listen to that recording between Doc and Chris again, and determine the extent of the accusations against Jean Schmidt and the system she represents. And decide how much merit the words printed on the paper these fools create in new laws and regulation really has in the scheme of things.

Not very much. Go ahead Congress, Senate and the President; pass your NDAA, the EEA and the appointment of more government positions so these lax minded buffoons can pretend they can create things. Their schemes are as flimsy as their morality, and as shown, is about as thin as a window without any glass. There’s nothing there but words on a page, which means nothing.

Oh, what is that dear reader–you want more?  Well, before we part, let me tell you just a bit more to this story. Here’s a quick look into the three former Fannie Mae executives who created quite a lot of trouble on Wall Street.


Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae.

 

Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities. Raines left with a “golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear.

 

Tim Howard- was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard “was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a “stable pattern of earnings” at Fannie. Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

Jim Johnson- A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million.” Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae.
Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

These are crooks that we’ve given the ability to write laws against American citizens.  What measures do these criminals employee to protect themselves from the punishment that is coming at them from the American people because of the looting that they have done?  Let my very good, personal friend Matt Clark tell you all about it.  Click the video below to listen.  Make sure you listen to the whole thing!

Oh, and what about our good friends from Frannie.  WHERE ARE THEY NOW YOU ASK?

 

FRANKLIN RAINES?
Raines works for the Obama Campaign as his Chief Economic Advisor.

TIM HOWARD?
Howard is a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama under Franklin Raines.

JIM JOHNSON?
Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Search Committee.

They are all crooks and thieves who don’t even deserve the spit in your mouth or what you place in the toilet when you relieve yourself.  Keep this in mind when you go to vote, and remember, it is because most people reading this did not vote that allowed these looters to become elected in the first place.  So educate yourself and vote intelligently.  And don’t fall for the manipulations and smiles of those you think are your friends.  Judge politicians on what they do, not what they say.

“Rich Hoffman is an Idiot”:LOOTERS OF THE FOREST HILLS SCHOOL LEVY

Darryl Parks of 700 WLW is right, it is difficult to be the focal point when one acts as a beacon of truth in a world gone mad. And that is how he started his Saturday show of January 14, 2012 revealing that his home school district of Forest Hills is attempting to pass a new tax levy using the superintendent to build consensus with the residents of Darryl’s neighborhood. Darryl was furious that his district is attempting to raise taxes, insulted is more like it. In reaction to the schools aggressive move he posted on his blog the salaries and benefits of the employees of Forest Hills Schools so that voters can see what is dictating the necessity of a new tax levy. You can see the Forest Hills School district costs here:

http://www.700wlw.com/pages/onair_parks.html?article=9614809

Darryl put out the call for support since he has helped with so many other levies throughout the city of Cincinnati over the years, and now he needs to know that he has friends and allies in his fight against tyranny from money grabbing public workers who use our children as hostages to obtain yet more money from the value of our properties. The best description of such an endeavor is that of legalized theft. That’s where the difficulties come in at being the lone voice of a particular region pointing out the hypocrisy of the big business of education that operates more like a crime syndicate or a Vegas casino as opposed to a palace of learning for the bright minds of our youth. So I called in to Darryl and let him know that I will stand with him in his fight against this oppression known as the Forest Hills School Levy of 2012. You can hear that discussion at the 16 minute mark of the recording below which became very interesting when a teacher from Lakota, where I have fought many such levies myself, called in and proclaimed that I was an idiot. Listen to that epic broadcast by clicking the video below:

The woman’s name was Kari, and as you could hear she came out with her guns blazing with the typical rhetoric she had heard about me from her friends and other teachers around the district. She didn’t know it, but I was laughing when I heard what her problems were with me, because the things she accused me of doing I never participated in. She professed that I attended meetings where I shouted down people who were speaking, which I never do. I always let other people speak, and I treat them with respect–100% of the time. So I knew right away that many of her statements were not based on firsthand knowledge but the kind of dialogue that goes on around water coolers. Kari also declared that my facts were wrong, which is another common tactic that the Lakota School system attempted to utilize in order to discredit me, trying to keep people from looking at the data I was presenting. Data such as this: (Read this if you dare)

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

So I pressed Kari to name one instance where the many facts I’ve stated publicly were wrong. I invited her to declare which of the facts I’ve presented at this website weren’t factual, and there are MANY facts here. Yet as usual she couldn’t do it and they never can. Because what the schools do, all schools because they are not run by local administration dedicated to their communities, but by centrally located education organizations who teach the Delphi Technique for a political agenda that has nothing to do with educating children, but in obtaining more and more funds from communities to prop up labor union goals and teachers like Kari are used as pawns in that game.  (TO GET AN IDEA OF THAT GAME WATCH THE VIDEOS BELOW.  THEY ALL GET THEIR SOLICITATION STRATEGY FROM THE OSBA AND THE LABOR UNIONS OF THEIR STATE.  THE GAME IS THE SAME FROM SEATTLE, WASHINGTON TO MASON, OHIO)

The facts the school systems don’t want the public to focus on are why they end up in financial trouble to begin with when the communities of Southern Ohio have been quite generous with their approval of tax money to support their schools, but it never seems to be enough. So people like Darryl and I have went to the trouble to say no to additional tax levies, and demand a fix to the funding structure in Ohio by denying additional funds to our local schools so that we can starve this beast of public education that never seems to get enough, has too high of impression of what it does socially, acts politically against our communities and our families, and is not producing the best of its kind in the world. NO, EDUCTION IS NOT WORTH INFINATE AMOUNTS OF MONEY! It has a value, and we are declaring what that value is when we turn down a levy.

At Lakota the property tax rate is $1,140 per $100,000. That is what residents approved so that is the budget at Lakota. If the state cuts money or the federal government cuts money that does not mean the local tax payers will pick up the difference. It means that when a voter says no at the ballot box that the superintendent must then work within the budget, which means you either have a layoff, or you ask the employees to take a pay cut.

The reason Darryl and I post the wages that these school employees make, is to illustrate to the community why the schools are in trouble, because the school boards and superintendents have allowed the wages to climb too high. At Lakota it’s over $63,000 per year on average out of 2000 employees, which is too high. You can see from Darryl’s list that Forest Hills has a similar situation. So by posting that information, these fighters of these tax increases hope to illuminate to the school itself how to fix the problem, by getting control of their budgets. If you do not wish your yard to look terrible, you cut the grass. If you want to control your budget, you cut your expenditures. You don’t keep building your house higher because the grass keeps growing. As administration management, it is the schools obligation to the community to control their costs, not react to them like a yard out-of-control.

As angry as Kari was at me at the start of the debate, when she was able to settle down and speak rationally, I asked her on 50,000 Watts of flame throwing power over 38 states and parts of Canada, “Would you have been willing to take a 5% cut to save some jobs,” and Kari responded without a second thought, “YES.” This confirms what I have long suspected, that many teachers, especially those making over $65K per year would be willing to take a 5% pay cut to save their brothers and sisters in the union from losing their jobs to a layoff. Yet at Lakota nearly 3 months after a third defeated levy attempt, the superintendent at Lakota hasn’t even went to the union and asked the question that I asked Kari on WLW.

The reason superintendents threaten layoffs, and cut programs at schools are not to balance their budgets but to manipulate the public with extortion. They use The Delphi Technique to play the extortion game with a smile on everyone’s face, but the game is still just as sinister. If you need a review of the Delphi Technique you can learn all about it here:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/the-new-school-board-president-ben-dibble-starts-new-levy-campaign-of-2012/

Because the looted money comes from a trusted school official as opposed to a robber on a New York street doesn’t change the fact that taxpayers are being openly and legally robbed, and that makes me very angry. And it makes Darryl angry, and as long as there is life in people like us, we will fight that kind of tyranny with everything we have in us. WHY?

Well, it’s not to hurt people like Kari. My aim is to hurt the system used to turn Kari against me with the distorted facts she had at her water cooler discussions. The other employees of her school who use the Delphi Technique to manipulate the school employees into a collective brainwashing symphony that targets those of us who stand in the way of the open looting, are the perpetrators. Lakota as an organization had all those teachers convinced that what I have been saying is a lie, that my facts are distortions of reality, that I hate education. But based on what? The hearsay of a government employee who is protecting their right to double dip and make six figures when they clearly aren’t worth the money, an employee such as a superintendent, a principle, or a school counselor who has nothing else productive to do but whisper propaganda into the ears of employees and students are the advocates of misinformation, not me. It’s those same whispers from irresponsible senior administrators who coax our children to roam our community streets at night and vandalize the property of any tax opposition.

That is what Darryl and I are fighting against. While superintendents all across Ohio pretend to be CEO’s running massive organizations, we have revealed that they are just public relations personnel designed by the education system to always secure more funding to feed their big business machine with looted public money. They use the same tactics as presidents of the United States in lying openly to the public because they do not respect our intelligence. This is why the superintendent at Forest Hills Schools is having a “community” meeting where the good Doctor will share a coffee with the community and allow them to feel they are a part of the decision-making process. But the contracts are already signed folks, the money is already spent, and the superintendent of Forest Hills Schools knows it. All he’s doing now is using The Delphi Technique to win voter approval of the money he and his district have already committed to. And if you turn down this levy, he’ll ask again and again and again till you pass it. Because he’s not a manager, this superintendent of Forest Hills Schools, he’s a public relations salesman playing his part in the syndicate of big business education.

The smart thing to do in these confusing times is listen to Darryl Parks on 700 WLW and myself, and a handful of others who hold the torch up proudly and declare NO MORE………………HELL NO on more TAX INCREASES! Hell NO on more looted money from the values of our homes! HELL NO on this mafia like behavior that is public education. We are calling it what it is! To the employees like Kari they are just employees of the syndicate and their wages are high to keep their minds small, and their gossip focused around the water coolers. That’s why they think Rich Hoffman is an idiot, because they didn’t do the research themselves, but just listened to the rumors started by school officials using the Delphi Technique to manipulate them, which they are happy to do as long as the money is good, and the work days are short.

So when we fight teachers, it is not personal against you, but like soldiers on a battlefield you place yourselves between the objective and our current position, so if you become harmed in the crossfire and it is your own fault. You picked the wrong side to fight for so don’t be surprised when you become a casualty. If you do any level of research or thinking on your own, you will discover that you will be on the side of Darryl and I, and that you should be helping him defeat his latest fight against the villains of his own district, who have sabotaged his school with an ominous presence from a syndicate that doesn’t loot with a gun, but with kindness and handshakes. This is not a line of gray that will allow you to be half in or half out. Teachers like Kari are as numerous as stars in the sky, and once we get passed the animosity of our positions, we discover they are good people, like most people are. But it’s the system they service that is the villain, and makes them all accessories to tyranny as long as they blindly serve an institution they know full well is committing crimes against the innocent at many levels in trade for a healthy pay check.

That’s why Darryl and I post how much these employees make, so that the public can know how their money is spent, and you the teacher and administrator can know what your purchase prices is to turn your head away from the crime, and go gleefully on vacation. Ignorance is bliss after all………………..

And to the looters, liars, and manipulators who think The Delphi Technique will continue to hide your thievery………….sorry about the facts. They are pesky, but not going away.

Battle Hymn of the Republic: The Glory of U.S. Citizenship

“To promise to protect enemies both foreign and domestic.” Those words jumped out at me while attending a naturalization ceremony my son-in-law was participating in to complete his long road to becoming a United States Citizen. The event featured representatives of over 50 countries, each one standing proudly to proclaim the new United States Citizenship. It was refreshing to see people from all over the globe seeking so proudly membership into the very valuable club of citizenship that many who were so fortunate to have been born in the America take for granted. Because many of those countries represented at this ceremony are living under the oppressive rule of tyrants in one form or another and it takes courage to just apply for citizenship, let alone go through the long process of actually obtaining it. For my son-in-law, it was an 8 year journey that culminated into a packed room at St. Dominic School in Delhi. In that room there wasn’t any discussion of political persuasion, racism, gender equality, there was just unification that people of many backgrounds were gathered, from every conceivable place to seek admission to a banner of freedom protected by The United States Constitution.
A choir of young people from that school came in and sung a number of patriotic songs including my favorite, the Battle Hymn of the Republic, a song that has been my favorite since I was 3 years old and they sung it in my church. I play the song often from my garage sound system while I shoot basketball in my driveway on hot summer days. It is the song of America and was quite fitting for this epic event.

As that song played and I listened to all the petitioners declare their American allegiance I wondered who the domestic enemies were by definition that these people were swearing to protect. The first thought to my mind was Barack Obama himself, who behaves as an enemy of America in his constant attacks against the U.S. Constitution specifically the signing of the NDAA Act on New Year’s Day and his constant desire to bypass congress with executive orders. American citizenship doesn’t seem to mean much to the president, probably because he lost his citizenship, not by his doing but his mothers when she left with Barack Obama’s stepfather back to Indonesia while the boy was still very young and not able to fend for himself. Obama applied to American colleges under foreign status and it looks as though Obama has attempted to lawyer himself to cover up that fact that he is an illegal president according to the provisions of the Constitution. Obama is proof that once the rules are bent once, as he has done to justify his presidential eligibility, then the rules will be bent again and again. For the Barack Obama types who function in our government, they are domestic enemies because they do not respect the Constitution as shown in their actions, because they seek to manipulate the obvious in favor of the gray areas. There is no question that Barack has managed to walk the gray area enough to prove he was a citizen born in Hawaii, but he doesn’t do such a good job of explaining his foreign status when returning to the United States to study. So he became a lawyer like the many other looters and thieves in public service and sought to manipulate the law to suit his personal agenda, which is that of a radical community organizer who seeks to uproot all the foundations America stands upon.

But he’s not the only one. I would extend the domestic enemy umbrella to include virtually all lawyers and lobbyists who seek to make a living off the tax payer instead of contributing to the ideals of the Republic. At this ceremony I found it disturbing that Senator Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown sent letters to the applicants as though their office carried some kind of weight in authority. The letters read as though both senators were noble kings of some province in Ohio instead of workers of the people’s business, just mere representatives in a Republic known as America. Brown is a constitutional revisionist himself who seeks to expand government at alarming rates, which is a very un-American idea. Virtually every petitioner for citizenship present was fleeing countries riddled with such ideas, so bringing those failed concepts to America could easily be viewed as an enemy to the American way of life. And Rob Portman, whom I liked quite a bit until he signed the recent NDAA Act without any justification wrote a letter that on the surface appeared patriotic, but the lawyer in him could not hide the contempt that is apparent in his profession. I have known Rob for a long time. He may have forgotten by now but I was the guy who videotaped the great debate at WLW when Portman ran for his seat in a special election to capture the Republican seat back in 1993. I also hung out with Portman at Longworth Hall when he was currying favor for the Ross Perot crowd in what was being called The Reform Party back then, where I spoke. Rob helped me and a friend get onto the roof of Longworth Hall and drape a huge American flag from the top that nearly hit the bottom of that tall building and brought traffic on I-75 to a near standstill as motorists slowed down to see. Portman sent me the first order for a t-shirt I designed called “Take an Axe to our Tax” in 1996, which made me feel there, was hope that after three years in government, Rob was still on the right side of things. Rob Portman is a guy I liked a lot, so you can imagine how it pains me to declare him a domestic enemy, because he voted in favor of the NDAA Act. The most dangerous enemies are those we like, those who draw our smiles, and leave us thinking they are good people, while behind our backs, they plot against us. Those are the worst domestic enemies.

For my son-in-law I know the domestic enemies he will be fighting are those of ideas. Recently, he anticipated that many family and friends from his home country of England would join him in the states, but they have all but bailed on him. After trying life in America under green cards, they are seeking the socialism of England over the freedom of America. It’s hard, especially among the youth to explain why they can’t have 6 weeks of vacations while working at a McDonald’s, and why they must learn to drive a car when they are used to riding a train. Socialism under the Labour Party in England appeared to be a benefit to all, but it has made an entire generation weak, and barely able to lift a fork to their mouths to feed themselves. When young people don’t even have the ambition to drive a car, they certainly won’t have the ambition to self-govern, which is the plan of those big government advocates, to make people addicted to their drug of socialism. My son-in-law has lost many loved ones because of socialism, in his quest for freedom. That socialism in England is the same socialism that Obama and his clan of education thugs and union lackeys are trying to bring to the United States. That’s why Cincinnati has a street car, and why the Obama administration wants fuel to be over $4 per gallon, and want smart meters on our homes to regulate our power output to support green initiatives. It’s why the government is pushing electric cars onto the Detroit Auto Show even though nobody wants them, and why the media is covering up the serious fire risk of the Chevy Volt, as those cars are catching fire due to battery cool down problems.

All those manipulators of a free lifestyle are domestic enemies, and are certainly under the classification spoke about at this ceremony as people to watch out for and fight if need be. A domestic enemy is not necessarily the terrorist who is trying to gather bomb making material to blow something up, or the would-be-assassin who is trying to obtain a gun to make a kill.Equally dangerous is the lifestyle reformer who professes to rob America of its Constitution through legal manipulation, who seeks to make gay marriage a priority over a balanced budget, who seeks to put so many people on the government feed nipple that they will always have the vote of the weak in a society mind numb and lax under socialism instead of thriving under capitalism that only is limited in the work one wishes to put forth.

I saw in that room a collected group of people who were happy to become citizens for all the right reasons and political motivations. To my mind they are more American five minutes into obtaining their certificates, than the politician who thieves off the tax dollar with the aim of a Florida condo and a yearly cruise from work they’ve provided of no value but a gradual erosion of The Constitution.
After the ceremony my family took my son-in-law to the Hofbrauhaus in Newport which is his favorite restaurant in the city of Cincinnati. There we drank the giant liter steins of Dunkel beer made behind the bar and ate a lot of food. I read the Constitution that was given to him along with the letters from the senators mentioned. As I looked it over I noted that Senator Bill Sietz was there, my nemesis on the Issue 2 referendum mentioned frequently here as one of those turn coats who chose big labor over the principles of small government. Sietz was one of those politicians who cried for change under Governor Strickland then when change came under Governor Kasich he left the governor hanging on a vine. After all Sietz was a labor lawyer and unions are a lot of his income. So he chose his livelihood over the preservation of Ohio and his network in labor.

The event in itself was a grand one. It was truly refreshing to see such joy on the faces of new American citizens. The relief these people must feel immediately after is something long-term citizens can’t fathom. As my son-in-law said, “I can travel now without my green card.” That one small notion made the beer taste just a bit better for him and the hundreds of others present that day. But for the politicians who hung themselves to the process like the looters they are, they gave the event a feeling of a married couple who truly despise each other but maintain an image of the happy family. The husband and wife put on a good face when they appear in public. But out of the public eye, they have an open marriage—the wife has many lovers all over town and out-of-town, and the husband does too spending most of his free time not reading about philosophy and history, but of new sexual partners on Craig’s List who might meet him somewhere for some new sexual adventure. That is our government, Obama, Sietz, Brown, lobbyists, attorneys, prostitutes, power addicts, officials of degraded character who have sold out the value of the Constitution for the ability to have value they do not maintain because they are lazy and weak of mind.

I would replace them all in government with the people who just obtained their citizenship on Friday the 13th 2012 in less than a second if given the opportunity, and the Republic of the United States would fare far better than its present course because it is this group of people who worked hard to get a citizenship that is coveted all over the world as excessively valuable, who appreciate it. Because it is this United States Citizenship that gives an individual the right to their own property, and the right to pursue freedom without being ordained by any political party, religious idea, or tyrant of heredity. America is all about the Battle Hymn of the Republic because the fight will march on, and domestic enemies to the Constitution will be met, and at the same time threats from foreign enemies will be confronted to preserve the value of a citizenship sworn to at St. Dominic School in Delhi under the idea and pursuit of freedom.

Meet my son-in-law and what he intends to do as he answers the battle call of an American citizen at this link:

http://abundanttruth.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/bravery-and-the-heros-call-to-adventure/

The battle before us this time does not involve a war across the sea, or the spilling of blood anywhere on earth.  The battle we are fighting for now is to restore the idea of America after many years of abuse by greedy, unsophisticated, caretakers.  And to those who wish to maintain such a quandary in American culture, fear that song.  Because it’s coming for you!  The looters, thieves, and feel good police have hijacked it for too long, and it’s time to restore it to its rightful place in our popular culture.  For it is the idea of American culture that should be spread throughout the world as evidence by the gathering of those who seek refuge under the citizenship of being an American and why such a thing has so much value.  It is that value that we protect now through first art and literature and if those things fail, then with the gun.  But we will have that value.  YOU CAN TRUST THAT DEAR READER!  So wipe away that tear that is running down your face from hearing those songs, clean your gun so that it is ready, and in the meantime spread the word.

Fighting a School Levy: Real value vs. percieved value

For whatever reason in the middle of January 11, 2012 my broadcast with Doc Thompson on 700 WLW garnered a lot of email requests from tax fighting groups all over Ohio wanting help in fighting their school levy situations which mirror the troubles I’ve had at Lakota for most of the last decade. I am happy to help any and all people who wish to mount similar campaigns against their school districts for the simple reason that I think public education has been performing an ominous task, holding the children we send to public school hostage to fulfill the aims of organized labor which has political motivations. This has not only led to extraordinary per pupil costs, but has worked hand in hand to drive up the cost of college education as well. So I encourage all of you reading this to listen to that interview I had with Doc Thompson again, but at the conclusion listen to the next guest who speaks with Doc about the troubles of college education which ties directly to the perceptions established in public education.

The absolutely infuriating aspect of the Ben Dibble move into the presidency of the Lakota School Board and advancing Julie Schafer to the VP spot, who is a person who has been my adversary in these tax fights, I take it as an assault to my cause, instead of the district listening to the points we’ve tried to make in helping them balance their budget, they’ve sought to dig in for a more vicious fight in 2012. It’s nothing against Ben or Julie, but the strategy that Lakota has employed coming out of the holiday break reveals their intentions.

I see the same arrogance in our current president. I see the same lack of will in our congress and senate dealing with the United States $15 trillion-dollar deficit. The behavior at the federal level is no different from that of my local school board. It’s a lack of desire to face reality. It’s a desire on their part to follow a failed economic model created in Europe and they are in denial as to the effectiveness. The public schools in Ohio and all across the nation are arrogant in their belief of the product they produce, which is not the best in the world, is so valuable that it is beyond question or financial restriction. They are arrogant in what they believe their role is in our children’s lives as opposed to what our role as parents are. And they believe we should spend infinite amounts of money to maintain their empires. They believe this because all these types of employees from the President to the school board member to the teacher in the classroom are government employees. Is it any surprise that the president props up teachers? Because he was one, and he wishes the public to believe he has an inflated value, so by propping up the teaching profession, he assigns value to his own life that may not be real.

Shortly after my discussion with Doc Thompson I looked at the payroll I’m responsible for in my professional life. I tried for a moment to see the world the way Ben Dibble, Julie Schafer and Barack Obama see the world and apply that thinking to the management of those wages. Looking at over 150 employees, I may think every one of them is worth $30 an hour. But in reality the market value for their tasks may range from $10 per hour to $21 per hour. So if I paid them all $30 dollars an hour because I like them and think they are doing a good job that is a decision that I made that is not based on market value, but personal value. To pay all 150 employees at $30 per hour will cost me $4,500 per hour in employment costs. It will cost me $180,000 per week in payroll that must be supported by sales.

However, sales are driven by market forces and I can only generate $130,000 a week in sales, because in my business, that is the reality created by competitive forces, (hypothetical situation for the purpose of explanation) So as a member of management it is my task to make sure my payroll does not exceed my sales, so I must make sure that if I have some employees who make close to the $30 per hour mark, I need a relative number who make at the $10 an hour mark depending on what they do as determined by their skill level.

If I pay my employees the way I want to, and I go over my sales revenue, then I am a bad manager. If I went to my customers and said to them “I am raising the prices of my product to cover my costs, so you will have to pay more.” Of course their reaction will be to take a hike, they’ll find another supplier, because I have priced my goods out of market value and it wouldn’t be worth it to them to pay the increase. That leaves me with the dilemma of having to either lay off workers, which would hinder my ability to perform the task of making my product, or asking my workers to take a cut in pay to meet the sales revenue.

This is what government is doing at the federal level when they say they must tax the rich, because behind the scenes they know that it is only in the rich that there is more money to be obtained, and they must obtain more revenue to cover the promises they’ve made but didn’t reason how to pay for them. And this is why your local school has no other plan but to seek additional revenue in the form of taxes. At Lakota, the new Superintendent who we pay over $250K per year for in overall compensation has one primary job—to obtain passed tax levies. Lakota spends many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on public relations for one reason—to pass school levies. In fact, The Pulse Journal just released the latest story on the Laura Kursman incident where Lakota paid the former Public Relations director $90K a year to go away. You can read that article here:

http://www.pulsejournal.com/news/local-news/kursman-addresses-accusations-1311348.html

Of course there’s more to the story. It appears that Laura found herself in a squabble with the school board over one of the sex cases the district had to clean up, specifically a child molestation case, and it bothered her to have to defend the behavior. By the time the levy attempt came around, Laura was questioning things. So the public image focused on her neck injury. The deeper issue that cost $90K in tax payer money involved the realization that Laura would not as PR director do anything to maintain the image of Lakota, so the board paid her off to conclude a separation of the contract, so the district could hire a PR director who would do anything to protect the image of the school to pass a new levy.

The exclusive desire of the distinct of Lakota is in maintaining their image so the public will grant them higher taxes. The problem is the district doesn’t have the money even if they wanted to. Butler County is suffering from lack of real money in value. It is the worst county in all of Ohio in home foreclosures. The county had 3,330 foreclosure filings against properties in 2011, only three filings less than were made in 2010. That’s a flat change with no major improvement from 2010, but down from more than 4,000 filings in 2009, according to Irvine-Calif.-based website RealtyTrac, which monitors default notices, bank repossessions and scheduled auctions across the nation.
You can read rest of that article from the Pulse Journal here:

http://www.pulsejournal.com/news/local-news/butler-county-worst-for-2011-foreclosures–1311524.html

The foreclosures are caused by two things, one the housing bubble burst, which was in part propped up by federal loans qualifying people who didn’t actually have the personal value to obtain the homes, and two the tax rates have proven too high and are soaking up residents expendable incomes. The homeowners foreclosed upon treaded water for a while, just like the federal government does and continue to shop and participate in the economy by racking up credit card debt. But eventually, they are overtaken with the weight of the debt and they lose their homes.

The fight against tax increases, particularly at Lakota, is not to hurt kids who go to the school. And it’s not to get revenge on the school and its employees. The fight is to help those who live in our district who are suffering because of the housing bubble collapse and don’t have the incomes to cover the cost of their personal debt. Lakota, as well as virtually every public school dominated by a labor union, have run their labor costs above what the market can support, and it is their task to cover the gap between perceived value and real value. At Lakota it’s easy; all they have to do is reduce their labor costs by 5%. That’s not very much if distributed among the 2000 employees. Other districts might be a bit more, or a bit less. But it is not the task of the public to pay more for a service they are already barely able to afford. And it’s not a good use of public money for a school like Lakota to manipulate the tax payers with PR directors and school board games of pretending to cut costs or implement programs of cost reduction when it is clear the intention is to go for another tax increase in 2012. After all, Ben and Julie have made that proclamation abundantly clear. They believe if the public perceives the board is good, and united, then the public will grant Lakota a tax increase.

It was the teacher’s union in 2008 that drove up the labor costs with their strike attempt and it was the school board who caved under the pressure and signed the contract. That is mismanagement of the community resources and not the problem of the home owners and business owners who have managed to balance their budgets to stay in business and maintain their homes in a tight economy. They are successful, which is why they live in Liberty Twp and West Chester. But if the school district loots more money away from the community to cover their own fallacy, then it is not acceptable. They failed to balance their budget which was given to them by the public at the ballot box.

For every school system who proposes a tax increase, you will be fought diligently. You will be fought because you are a proven parasite that doesn’t understand what a burden you are on the community and it is not the task of producers to compensate for your failures. We live in the age of litigation culture, which is failing our society, and has established a false value toward assets with the legal aim of direct theft. Value obtained in this litigation culture is based on theft, not produced value, and this is how modern education has taught our children and why they expect looted money from the value of property to fuel their tyranny. The modern public education establishment has the task of learning its true value and not attempting to prop it up with image specialists, so that they can loot the wealth of a community. Even if the community is itself wealthy, as West Chester and Liberty Twp is, that does not entitle the school system’s labor unions to loot that wealth because they work in the district. The fight at hand is to place among the responsible parties the burden of adjusting themselves to their real social value. It may be painful, but at least those employees will still have a job, and a good one that is valuable. But not at the expense of putting one resident out of their house that has real value because they can’t afford the taxes, or driving away the potential business who locates their establishment in another community because the taxes are cheaper. The business has value because it produces materials that bring happiness, or assets directly exchanged with currency. The fight against tax levies is a fight for a quality of life that is purely American. The fight to pass a tax levy is a defense of socialism. And that is a battle for the soul of America and it is happening in your own back yards, and you must win there before you can win against the federal government.

First win the fight in your back yard. Then win the fight in Washington D.C.

Philosophy, Politics, and Religion: The U.S. Government thinks you are a fool

The two things that we are told not to speak of are politics and religion. Yet it is those two topics that affect virtually every endeavor of human thought. If you want to know who the villains are in our society look at those who tell us not to speak of these things, and you will see your enemy. Those who advocate not speaking of politics and religion are those who are attempting to maintain a monopoly on thought, and seek to be the rulers of your life. For myself, I question everything, and am in love with nothing but the idea of being left to my own devices. So the social mechanisms of the human race are all up for revision. Nothing is sacred if it is not producing the very exceptional at the maximum capacity capable by the human mind.

The current philosophy of America, the one that has been infected with socialism, does not work for the majority of the population. It is an unmitigated failure virtually beyond measure. In fact, the examination of the ineptitude that our current American philosophy is pursuing is so grand that most people just tune it out and leave the matter of adjustment to the very thieves who have perpetuated the candor to the lowest in our society—the politician. To understand just how serious these politicians have infected American society with a philosophy of looting which serves nobody but themselves watch carefully this video which will spell out the situation wonderfully for your inquisitive mind.

At this site there are many radio recordings and videos which show that a majority of the public servants currently serving the United States citizens at Capital Hill have enriched themselves greatly by insider trading. In my opinion these are simple thieves who using a wage provided by the American citizen to do the work of the country have squandered that task away because they function from a looter philosophy that they inherited from this infection of socialism they were raised on in our public schools, and media culture. These con artists ran for office under the premise and promise to uphold the United States Constitution, but once there show the weakness of their inner philosophies, and quickly become common looters of the public treasury. It is because of these types of people of poor quality that communism will never work and the socialism that leads to total communism slowly erodes away the philosophy of every nation with the plague of altruism. Because the human being from even the first moments of life is concerned with its own survival, and an economy that is built upon self-interest will thus be stronger because it was built by people who care for themselves. Those who attempt to pretend that their life has value because of self-sacrifice are fools who lack real life experience as to the motives of mankind.

Beware of the altruistic prophet, the looter of luxury who pretends that they are there to help. They only care to take from you to gain what they lack the ability to make for themselves. A good example of this is Michelle Obama, the current first lady. She is one of those altruistic prophets who says one thing, but does another. A poor quality mind is always easy to spot in such people who believe they are better than they are because the value they apply is derived from what they have managed to loot from public money.

For some insight into this let’s have a look at the first lady’s behavior in the White House, of which we all fund with our taxes. Michelle Obama has more personal staff than any first lady in history. She currently has 22 personal staff to care for her every need and fantasy. Here they are and while reading them, consider what you learned in that first video.

Michele Obama’s personal staff:

One.. $172,200 – Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
Two.. $140,000 – Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
Three.. $113,000 – Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama)
Four.. $102,000 – Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President
And Director of Communications for the First Lady)
Five.. $100,000 – Winter, Melissa (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
Six.. $90,000 Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
Seven.. $84,000 – Lilyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)
Eight.. $75,000 – Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
Nine.. $70,000 – Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Project for the First Lady)
Ten.. $65,000 – Burnough, Erinn (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
Eleven.. $64,000 – Reinstein, Joseph B.(Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
Twelve.. $62,000 – Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)
Thirteen.. $60,000 Fitz, Alan O.(Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director
For the First Lady)

Fifteen… $52,500 – Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)
Sixteen.. $50,000 – Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)
Seventeen.. $45,000 – Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)
Eighteen.. $43,000 – Tubman, Samanth a (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
Nineteen.. $40,000 – Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
Twenty.. $36,000 – Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
Twenty-One… $35,000 – Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
Twenty-Two.. $35,000 – Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)
(total $1,591,200 in annual salaries)

The looters of our American philosophy wish to strip away our religion and replace it with one of their own design so that they can control us, so that we are easy to steal from. They strip away our philosophy so that they can replace it with their own altruistic example so that we will give up our money to their cause and not cast our eyes in their direction and discard those politicians as useless. As long as they convince us to think in fashions of sacrifice, we will give our wealth to them so they can spend $447.39 on luxurious foods at a New York hotel for an afternoon snack. The looters do this because they are thieves who have no value for the funds they stole, because stealing it is easy. They provide no service that couldn’t be done by you dear reader. But they have stolen your philosophy from you in public education, so you cannot reason for yourself the folly of your ways. They have stolen from you a religion, so that you look to politicians who will spend $150 on Iranian Osetra Caviar as the provider of both religion and philosophy. They will sell to you their image as the prophets for the prices of the taxes that come out of your hard-earned check.

Looters do not have your interest in mind. They simply wish to give you a job to keep you happy and voting in their direction. They wish to hit that magic number of 50% by using your greed against you for their gain. You see, they do not believe in altruism themselves. Not in the least. They wish you to believe it so that they can control you. So you will take your government job, make twice what is made in the market controlled private sector, and you will trade away your freedom for comfort and a vote for their politicians so they can maintain their power base as prophets when in reality they are simply clowns. Want more proof? Look at these connections of nepotism among the political elite centering on the new green initiative. This is just a fraction of what is really going on.

• The Tonopah Solar Company in Harry Reid’s Nevada is getting a $737 million loan from Obama’s DOE.
• The project will produce a 110 megawatt power system and employ 45 permanent workers.
• That costs U.S. Taxpayers just $16 million per job.
• One of the investment partners in this endeavor is Pacific Corporate Group (PCG).
• The PCG executive director is Ron Pelosi who is the brother to Nancy’s husband.

Yes, they think you’re stupid because they stole from you the ability to think. They did this by pilfering American philosophy which can be found in the work of The Federalist Papers and authors John Locke and Ayn Rand. The real criminals are not these politician looters; it is those who do not take advantage of the book store down the road, the television on the History Channel, C-Span, and Discovery Channels. It is those who forgo talk radio in favor of the sweet melody of social propaganda. (Listen to Lady Ga Ga and gawk at her outrageous outfits. She is selling you a philosophy and you accept it with your ears and the glitter of her fashion. She is designed to control your philosophy by album producers who wish to make a profit. The producers and agents of her songs are driven by self-interest, not gay rights, or political splendor. They are driven by self-interest disguised as altruism.)

Working philosophies and religions are out there for your use dear reader, and when you allow the looters to not only rob you of your wealth but of your mind too, you have committed a sin against your legacy.

When death finds you, and you lay in your casket and the small gathering of your family and friends show up to say a few nice words on your behalf, without a strong philosophy they will only have to say that you were a good person who did what people told you to do. You held a government job, paid your bills, and voted for altruistic political candidates who brought joy to the world. But your departed soul and a few wise men and women will know the truth, that you perpetuated tyranny by assisting the looters of America into a crime against mankind that made kings of the weak and victims of the strong.

The death I’m speaking of is not you dear reader, for you are only a cell in the greater body that is sick. The body I speak of that resides in the mentioned casket is America. A country that let it’s philosophy be stripped away from it so that it could become sick and die from within. For anyone who studies sickness knows that for a virus to kill a life, it must destroy first the body’s immune system, and for a country, that immune system is its religion and its philosophy. That’s why both must be discussed often, so that the body can fight off the diseases of looters which seek to plague it. And fear not, philosophy does not need to be laborious and out of your reach. I have went to considerable effort to make philosophy obtainable for a public that are current victims of a looter ruling class, so that those villains might find themselves shortly extinct.

Stay tuned for much, much more.

Looters of Lakota: U.S.Presidents to school boards lack real value

Ben Dibble is the new President of the Lakota School Board with the former levy campaign worker Julie Schaffer serving as VP of the 2012 school board. Joan Powell had a rough year and there were considerable challenges that obviously the former school board president had which a small sample is shown below. Lakota to their credit is at least putting on a new face to attempt to give the impression they are changing their ways and are committed to solving some of their internal problems. However, I am skeptical of the move, especially given that Julie is a tremendous tax increase supporter, so it appears that the names are changing at the top, but the motive is the same. The school board at Lakota and virtually every school district in Ohio eats out of the hand of the labor union and is committed to maintaining the status quo of simply asking for more tax money when their back is against the wall.

To see how difficult simple changes in school board politics are all one needs to do is examine our national politics at the highest level which is President of the United States to compare the quality of these political servants with those of the local school board, which might be considered the lowest. Politicians at all levels for the most part seem obsessed with obtaining the recognition of public office as though it might improve the quality of their inner perceptions. But in listening to Doc Thompson’s interview with the author of a new book revealing the secrets of several Presidents of the United States, it is clear that America’s supposed best politicians—it’s presidents, are lacking severely in human quality which would befit characteristics of leadership. Listen to that interview here:

Our society just does not produce very high quality people, because it has been generally accepted that faults are satisfactory in performance and human eminence. This has created a political system where the lowest of our human counterparts seek political office opposed to the highest who build businesses and social assets of actual value. The political parasites of the lowest value seek to validate their existence by gaining the ability to tax citizens of real worth using the force of law to do so. In short politicians like presidents who would struggle to produce anything of any real value without the assistance of public money, require the funds of the public to prop them up to appear valuable. What level does anyone think is the value of their local school board member if United States Presidents are of such low quality?

I believe most of these elected officials believe they are doing what is right and good, but their definition of “good” is flawed by their own lack of worth and the ability to be productive. They do not understand the value of something because their method of obtaining things is to manipulate and legally rob it, so that they can appear to have value. So their definition of good is in having the ability to loot, not produce.

The Lakota School Board appears to be plagued by this complex because they have been given every opportunity to be productive and efficient, yet they have chosen to play the game of manipulation and image control to cover their lack of management skill. There are several instances of this occurring over 2011 most notably in this article about the release of Laura Kursman, Lakota’s former public relations employee. Read for yourself what Lakota thinks is acceptable spending on image control: (the actually billing documents are included so you can see the numbers for yourself)

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

The reason politicians at all levels hire image specialists in public relations are to cover their inner faults as skilled practitioners of their chosen occupations. There is no other reason. And this is why Lakota is spending so much money to manage their public image, and using public money to do it. This is also why in the first meeting of the new year the board is already exploring yet a 4th levy attempt when all they would have to do is ask the employees of Lakota to take a 5% reduction in their wages and benefits. And when the average wage of the Lakota employee is over $63K per year it’s not asking much to put the burden on the employees instead of the tax payers who make far less on average. The school board obviously lacks the skill and determination to actually manage costs; instead they spend their time in maintaining their image, by moving around board members to make it appear they are functioning under a new philosophy. They spend a lot of money on public relations to clean up any problems that might arise from employees in the district so that the public will believe their tax money is being spent correctly. The public needs to be willing to increase their tax burdens to cover the discrepancies of the board’s lack of skill, which is why the district’s effort is spent on image, so the ability to legally loot the public can be obtained.

The most obvious evidence of this trend is how the school board handled the former public relations employee Laura Kursman when Laura developed a fundamental discrepancy at what she was willing to do as an employee of the Lakota School System. Allegedly the board asked her to perform duties of public relations that violated her own ethical behavior. There were two sex issues in 2011 that I know about and have stacks of documents to support, that involved teachers at Lakota that the school board needed to clean up so the district could attempt to pass more school levies, and needed public support to obtain those tax increases. It appears that Laura and the school board developed conflicting versions of how to present that information to the public which caused a rift that involved Laura having to leave the district and Lakota paying her $90K to end her contract with the school.

You can see the official statement by Lakota below. The source of the information is their website. When reading this consider how much money that document below must have cost after looking at the billing documents from the PR firm at the previous link. The document you are reading was approved by the current PR firm and the attorneys at Lakota.

LAKOTA RELEASES INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPARTURE OF A SENIOR EMPLOYEE
1/6/2012-1/26/2012
School District agreed to settlement
Lakota Local School District has paid $90,000 to its Executive Director of School-Community Relations as part of an agreement to end her employment.
The district agreed to the settlement after discovering an internal administrative oversight that raised questions about whether the district had complied with Laura tim contract. The oversight involved Lakota’s failure to complete an evaluation for Ms. Kursman during her employment.
The failure to complete an evaluation for Ms. Kursman occurred before many current members of Lakota’s Executive Team, including Superintendent Karen Mantia, came to the district.
Dr. Mantia, who started her job in August 2011, noted it’s common for a new chief executive to make changes in senior personnel.
“The district needs to move forward and the demand for communication and public outreach is critical at this time. This agreement ensures we can do just that,” Lakota said in a Dec. 12 statement.
Ms. Kursman did not sue Lakota. But her lawyer, Elizabeth Loring, sent an Oct. 11 letter to the district, raising legal claims. Such a letter is a typical preliminary step before an employment action is filed.
Ms. Kursman’s lawyer did not raise the issue about Lakota failing to complete an evaluation for Ms. Kursman. It was the district that discovered that oversight.
Dr. Mantia and other Lakota administrators have taken steps to ensure that employee evaluation processes are followed properly.
Ms. Kursman’s lawyer, however, did make other legal claims alleging, in part, that the district had asked Ms. Kursman to engage in improper activities.
After Dr. Mantia learned about the allegations, she directed Williams Deters, the district’s attorney, to conduct an internal inquiry. Mr. Deters found no evidence to substantiate the allegations nor did he find any complaints, made by Ms. Kursman before she left the district, alleging improper activities. The inquiry included reviewing district records and interviewing School Board members as well as past and present members of Lakota’s administrative team.
“As Lakota’s chief executive, I needed to find out if there was any truth to the claims,” Dr. Mantia said.
Ms. Kursman’s employment ended Dec. 13 after the School Board unanimously approved her negotiated separation agreement. The $90,000 payment included $2,000 in legal fees to her lawyer. Ms. Kursman could have potentially earned a total of $285,000 if she had stayed with the district until her contract ended on July 31, 2014.
Ms. Kursman had worked for the district since April 2008. Her latest annual salary was $79,517. She’d been on leave from Sept. 2 to Dec. 13, 2011.
The district is seeking a replacement for Ms. Kursman. That process is expected to be completed no later than March.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE KURSMAN SETTLEMENT
–How much did Lakota pay Laura Kursman as part of the agreement that ended her employment?
$90,000, which includes $2,000 payable to her attorneys.
–How did the district arrive at that amount?
It was a negotiated settlement. Ms. Kursman could have potentially earned a total of $285,000 if she had stayed with the district until her contract ended on July 31, 2014.
–Why did the district agree to this settlement?
Lakota agreed to the settlement so it could make a personnel change in her position and because of an administrative oversight by the district. The administrative oversight raised questions about whether the district had complied with her contract.
–What were the administrative oversights?
Lakota neglected to complete an evaluation for her during her employment.
–A letter from Ms. Kursman’s lawyer alleged that Ms. Kursman lodged several detailed verbal and written complaints regarding “potentially unlawful activities” in which she was requested to engage. She was also “unwittingly instructed to falsify information to the press.” Is there any truth to these allegations?
Lakota does not have any records that Ms. Kursman lodged such complaints. Additionally, because of the serious nature of these allegations, Superintendent Karen Mantia directed Lakota attorney William Deters to conduct an internal inquiry into the claims. He found no evidence to substantiate them.
–In the same letter, Ms. Kursman’s lawyer alleged that Ms. Kursman’s “complaints were met not with concern and remedial action, but retaliatory treatment.”
Again, Lakota does not have any records that Ms. Kursman lodged such complaints. And Mr. Deters found no evidence to substantiate the claims.
–Ms. Kursman’s lawyer further alleged that hostile acts were taken against Ms. Kursman, including “false and disparaging statements to Ms. Kursman’s media contacts, setting of unrealistic deadlines and expectations, unwarranted and disparate scrutiny of her work, and reprimands for working at home to accommodate her disability.”
Mr. Deters found no evidence to substantiate these claims.
–Her lawyer also alleged that Lakota was trying to replace her while she was on leave for a disability. Is that true?
No. After Ms. Kursman went on leave, Lakota began using a consultant – a temporary, part-time independent contractor — to help perform some of her work because there was no one else at Lakota available to do her work.
–Her lawyer asked for copies of policies, plans and rules applicable to district employment, discrimination and other subjects. Do you know why?
This is a standard request during a legal dispute. Mr. Deters found no evidence that any district policy, plans or rules were violated, except the failure to complete Ms. Kursman’s evaluation.
–Did the district overpay Ms. Kursman at some point?
Yes, in prior years, the district inadvertently overpaid her. In 2010, the district and Ms. Kursman agreed to a payback plan. When she left the district, Ms. Kursman was still repaying the district. As part of the separation agreement, the district agreed to waive $1,513 she owed the district.
–Can Ms. Kursman apply for future Lakota job openings?
No. The agreement precludes her from doing so.
–Should Lakota have been more forthcoming sooner with this information?
Lakota takes seriously its responsibility to be as open as possible with the community. But the district needs to balance that responsibility with its legal, financial and managerial responsibilities. In this case, the district felt it needed to let the agreement with Kursman be executed before it provided more information. That execution included making the payments to Ms. Kursman after the School Board approved the agreement and waiting until Ms. Kursman’s seven-day time frame to change her mind about the agreement had expired.

______________________________


Lakota either is very foolish in their value of money, or the $90K was hush money to end the contract with Laura to move on to another employee because that’s a lot of money to pay for not giving an employee a proper employee review. The case-law from such a settlement is a dangerous proposition and we can only hope that every employee at Lakota doesn’t try to obtain a $90K settlement because human resources failed to give them a timely review. Such a precedent is dangerous no matter how it’s framed.

Just like presidents of the United States our local school board members seek to hide their deficiencies with increases in taxes and public relations to obtain looted money from the public with smiles on their faces. The game is played the same from the top to the bottom in American politics so the motives are easy to spot no matter what level we are looking at. So knowing that, the shuffle on the school board is simply an attempt to take Joan Powell out of the spot light and give the new school board the appearance of a new regime change. But in reality, these public servants and the employees they manage are lost in their task and seek to hide their faults with tax increases. And with that in mind, it is easy to see that the Lakota School District even though they’ve been given the answer to their problems by the business community and the No Lakota Levy group, have chosen to side with their old friends the labor unions in conspiring against the public with a planned tax increase in 2012. They are planning it because they know of nothing else to do but ask for money, because collectively, they lack the management skills for such an endeavor. No other conclusion can be determined based on their actions.

That is why presidents ask for tax increases, that’s why congress and senates ask for tax increases, and that’s why school boards ask for tax increases—because they are people of limited value who want the power of the position, because internally they lack value in themselves. They require legally looted money from those who have value to validate their existence, because without that money, they are nobodies going nowhere on a desperate search to have someone honor them with some token of appreciation, because their souls lack it. That is what makes them looters, because they must take from those who have value to supplement their lack of it.

Workplace Freedom in Ohio: Using Barack Obama to Pass it

A little bird landed on my window sill this week while Mitch Daniels, governor of Indiana backed a new ad for making his state a “Right to Work” state, to remind me of the many union members I personally heard from during the Issue 2 campaign of 2011. Issue 2 was a bold attempt in Ohio that failed and several union members who understood what I’ve been saying about the entire philosophy of union membership being the gateway to socialism was true, and they wanted out of those unions. So out of all the things Issue 2 would have done in for Ohio, it would have freed those public union workers who understood that unions belong in Russia and China, but not in America, and given them at least the freedom to choose.

Watching the Daniels ad below is a grim reminder of what those of us who actually think knew was coming. Indiana is well on its way to becoming a Right-to-Work state, and when that happens, much of what Governor John Kasich hoped to accomplish with Issue 2, will go to Indiana—the precious jobs of the companies in the United States who do not wish to have their company run by socialist unions.

Once Daniels leads his state of Indiana to a “Right to Work” status, Ohio will find itself at an incredible disadvantage. Large manufacturing jobs that Ohio had been trying to lure to the Midwest and its wonderful highway access, close proximity to the east and west, and even the Great Lakes will be lost to Indiana, because companies do not want their organizations run by socialists.

Anyway, the little bird had been asking these same questions, and contemplated what would happen if Ohio had something similar to what Indiana was doing but wasn’t going along the approach of attacking the unions so much as just providing the union worker with the freedom of being able to join. Because after all, in the wake of Issue 2, many of us on who worked on that campaign learned that there are many hundreds of thousands of union workers who are trapped in a corrupt system where the unions take their money against their will and use that money to supply the Democratic Party to work the government toward socialist intentions, and they don’t like it. 

The results from this poll were obtained using the same measures that indicated Issue 2 was going to be voted against by the labor union repeal which said Ohioans by a margin of 56% did not support Issue 2. This poll data had been present all summer of 2011 and many of us who worked the campaign stated that polling could not be trusted, and we believed that if we educated the voters, that the numbers would change in our favor. Well, when the election came around the numbers stayed pretty much stable and we ended up seeing a repeal of Senate Bill 5 trending very closely to the polling numbers all along. So the polling is coming from the same type of source and is just as valid.
Many in the Republican Party felt the sting of supporting Issue 2 (Senate Bill 5) and have lost their courage to do anything similarly bold in 2012, since their focus is on defeating Barack Obama and not allowing him to capture Ohio. Well the polling here shows that Obama isn’t fairing too well in Ohio less than one year from the election, and Obama’s people have the same information that you are looking at, which is why he came to Ohio to create another branch of government this past week. Obama has over $1 billion dollars to convince the very stupid, socialist, freeloaders that he can make shit look like a diamond, and he will certainly appeal to those I referenced. But intelligent, hard-working people will never buy into a president who attempts to lawyer everything like he’s Johnnie Cochren from the O.J.Simpson murder trial. See my article on Obama’s real achievements here: (The charts don’t lie)

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/barack-obama-the-murder-of-america/

Obama and his socialist union brothers and sisters have wrecked the American budget, which is unmistakable in the charts shown on that article. Even fresh on the heels of the Issue 2 repeal, Obama is not more popular in Ohio, which means even if he spends much of his war chest in Ohio on trying to close that gap, well over half of Ohio sees through his act and aren’t buying his rhetoric.

In fact if Ohio had a Workplace Freedom Amendment that was initiated by the citizens and not a political party, that women would overwhelmingly support it with a yes vote, as would members of the African-American demographic. This little bird who visited me told me they had flown to my window from up north in a heavily unionized area and spoke to many of those African-American, (Obama) supporters and they declared, “We ain’t tight with the unions and have no love. They’ve kept black people from getting good jobs for decades.” Well, that shows on this polling, African-Americans overwhelmingly support the right to opt out of a union should they choose to, or to join one. The same demographics that will show up and attempt to re-elect Barack Obama in Ohio support a Workplace Freedom Amendment.

So Ohio has a unique opportunity to use Barack Obama and his $1 billion dollar war chest to come to Ohio and encourage his “base” to give him another 4 years of socialism in The White House. If Ohio had a Work Place Freedom Amendment on the ballot, many of Barack Obama’s voters would vote in favor of ending the union monopoly in Ohio with an option of freedom. So the more Barack campaigns in Ohio, the more he would hurt his dedication to union monopoly.

With all the concerns that the labor unions are an impenetrable force that cannot be stopped, it’s simply an illusion dear reader. The best way to defeat this enemy of American value is to call it what it is, which is socialism, and to allow people to leave who want to. What we saw in Issue 2 was a very organized effort to take even those who wanted out and use their union dues against them with forced wage garnishments to allow the unions to fight Issue 2. Many of these members did not enjoy their obvious loss of liberty and asked people like me for help. By putting a Workplace Freedom Initiative on the ballot in 2012 we could actually use Barack Obama to help us remove union monopolies from Ohio and begin to attract substantial jobs to the Ohio area.

The south as shown in the chart below already has this workplace freedom, which is why Boeing is building a plant in South Carolina, because Boeing doesn’t need work stoppages every three years as socialist oriented workers demand new contracts with higher wages and benefits continuously. We’ve seen what such measure have done to our education system here in Ohio where the teachers unions have taken our tax money and threatened work stoppages to drive up the per pupil costs of education. Companies have learned that this is what these unions are about and they make investments in states and countries that are free from union monopolies and those are the cold-hearted facts.

The term “worker” as Obama and the unions use it is taken directly from the book The Communist Manifesto. Karl Marx used that term to attempt to level the playing field of Europe against all forms of capitalism, which cast Europe into two World Wars and eternal poverty that plagues every European country to this very day. Labor unions are the European export of socialism to the United States and are attempts to infect America with communism. That is not a statement of rhetoric, but a fact.

In America and particularly in our state of Ohio, people have a right to believe what they want. So if they want to support socialism, have at it. But they do not have the right to compel others and force them to join against their will garnishing wages for political use. That practice must be stopped at a bare minimum so that the true value of ideas can be determined in the marketplace of freedom. If unions believe they have all the answers, then the market, not force will determine the validity of their enterprise. And the time to do it is when the President brings his toothy smile and his basketball terminology to the public schools of Ohio to attempt to convince America to allow him to continue on his socialist path. Ohio should permit it to be Obama’s voters who give freedom to Ohio’s workplaces with the passage of the Workplace Freedom Amendment.

Doesn’t that seem fair, and just? It does to me!
