The most ridiculous rhetoric that comes out of school levy proposals is that somehow it is considered a “patriotic duty” to vote mindlessly for tax increases. Anyone who thinks this way needs to have their head examined. I’m sure the Letter to the Editor writer from the Sunday October 6, 2013 edition of Today’s Pulse newspaper had good intentions when they suggested in the commentary below that over a 30 year span of time it is the community’s duty to continue voting yes on school levies because “it is what we do.” The meaning is that a tax increase is an “investment” into the community and the reason is simply—because it just is. The letter writer makes no attempt to understand why, she simply makes the assumption that it’s always been that way and it will always continue. Read the letter for yourself.
Support levy, support community
As a Lakota graduate and an empty-nester parent of three Lakota graduate, I look at our community and see a wonderful place to raise and educate our children. When I was in school in the 1970s, many senior citizens and empty-nesters supported the levies and my education. It is what we do when we are invested in our community.
Not all of us make use of our police, fire or park services, which are available to everyone, yet we support them financially because that is what you do in the community where you live. Please don’t lose sight of the fact that even if you don’t have children currently in our district, our local schools are one of the best investments our community has.
Please take the time to research the upcoming school levy and you will see that Lakota continues to be a good steward of our tax dollars. They have made severe cuts and have not had any new revenue since 2005. Don’t you think as a member of this community; it is time to support our schools and our children? Vote “yes” for the Lakota levy.

Of course I disagreed with that levy supporter, and responded with the following letter. School levy supporters are one of the most corrosive aspects of existence. They are similar to rust on a car. If left untended, they just continue to grow and eat away everything of any real structure. Their belief system is not only flawed, but is dangerously ignorant. I have learned that saying NO to school levies is not only healthy for a community, but is the best way to rid communities of the corrosive nature of levy supporters who are parasites on everything that is economically viable.
The Patriotism of Saying No
The best reason pro levy supporters can come up with as to why Lakota needs a tax increase is because it is the patriotic duty of a community to throw money away on a glorified babysitting service. Never do such people consider the cost to a community of passing tax increases. Pro tax people are like panhandlers who camp out on the way to sporting events and make you feel guilty for not throwing a few bucks at them knowing full well that you’ll need the money for beer and hot dogs once inside. The guilt comes in thinking that you don’t deserve beer and hot dogs while the beggar is struggling outside. The question never gets asked why the beggar is begging instead of doing something else—because guilt avoids the question.
The question at Lakota is why they are begging for money they don’t need. Why with declining enrollment do they wish a long-term tax increase on a thriving community? Why is it a duty to recklessly throw money at a school because someone is an alumnus under different conditions 30 years ago? And why do the employees at Lakota expect to make over 60K per year on average when the average tax payer makes much less?
Pro-levy people expect voters to not ask those questions, but simply vote in favor of tax increases based on speculative community patriotism that has no grounding in reality. They simply want money thrown into their begging dish to avoid the hard job of contract negotiations with a union that is up in 2014. And to avoid those hard decisions, Lakota wants to impose a damaging tax increase that will last for many, many years, drive away businesses and crush people barely hanging on.
So much for community patriotism.

When pro levy supporters makes stupid statements such as—a community should vote in favor of a tax increase because they are investing in a community they are advocating the destruction of communities. There are no communities that have survived for 40 to 50 years that increased taxes on themselves every 5 years and maintained the wealth and economic viability of their community. In the same way, a car that is left to rust untreated will slowly erode away into garbage. A community that blindly raises taxes on itself to sustain armies of government worker monopolies will also destroy itself. So the best way to save a community is to keep the public schools from destroying it with selfishly high taxes driven by corrosive labor unions.
Saying NO is management of a community’s resources. Saying Yes is simply caving into the radical, half-baked claims of voters with a shallow knowledge of history, and a distorted concept of economics. They should not be allowed to destroy communities unchecked, and saying NO is the best defense against them. There is no evidence anywhere that higher taxes lead to a prosperous community, and there is even less evidence that the same Yes votes cast in 1970 have the same value as Yes votes in 2013—the assumption is that the cost of per pupil education have gone up tremendously since then yet children are performing worse scholastically. Only a complete idiot would continue to do something just because they made the same stupid mistake in the 70s, 80s, and 90s……….”because it is what we do,” “we” being a community. To do such a thing is a receipt for social decline and a future ghetto swapping out residents of productive output with more parasites of government mooching that will replace the hard-working home owner with a government subsidized crack dealer. The path to community decline is in voting Yes for school levies, not the other way around—and is the misleading utterance of the entire parasitic school levy supporter. They all share the tendency to ignore the facts in favor of “feel good” assumptions that have no basis in reality except in their own imaginations driven by mid-life anxieties and guilt over their skills as parents. The way to protect a community is to reject those types with NO votes and get them out of our community—because leaving them alone will lead to a destruction of everything we cherish.
This is a continuing series done here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom analyzing the 45 Planks of Communism unleashed to the public in the 1958 book The Naked Communist. You can see the entire list by CLICKING HERE.You can also read the last article in the series by CLICKING HERE. The easiest way to understand how communists think is to read Ayn Rand’s We The Living, which takes place in 1924, roughly 7 years after the Russian Revolution and follows several families through their struggle to cope with the rise of the U.S.S.R as a communist political force, which would continue until Russia ran out of money in the 1990’s. But up until the last day, the communist cause was to infiltrate the entire world philosophically, not literally. Communists did not intend to win everyone over to their side by forcing the hammer and sickle down their throats in broad daylight. They had learned the error of their ways in implementing communism too quickly in Petrograd—and intended to carry those lessons with amendments to their world-wide campaign to spread social collectivism to every corner of planet earth.
Communists, particularly in the 1970’s and 1980’s were very arrogant about their beliefs. They believed in the greater good, so did not care if they came across individually as arrogant, or hurting the feelings of people since their focus was on collectivism. In the previous articles explained here it is clear that communists sought to use The United Nations as a platform to carry them through economic collapse—which was evident to them. They knew it was coming, so they sought to gather up the wealth of those functioning under capitalism until their philosophic enemy had been plucked dry. Then and only then did they believe communism would work, when it was the ONLY political philosophy left in the world.
Two years ago I would not have believed any of this were possible, but during my research into why public schools were so insanely destructive—economically, the only answer that has come back out of all my research is that they had been penetrated by communism with small doses of socialism until after a couple of generations nobody could not even see the difference—even the employees. We will get into this topic in much greater detail in a future article. Also over the years I have known many politicians, both local and national. It was last summer when a local politician was very upset with me for calling his kind RINO’s, (Republican In Name Only) that I realized there was something much more serious going on. The anger was not just in the name, but in the realization that there was truth to it, and the prospect of the accusation was simply too great for the guy. He was mad not just at me for seeing it, but for making him question it in himself. The foundation of everything this politician believed had been shaken to its very core, and he was having a crises. That crisis was the knowledge that the ideals of Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, Thomas Jefferson and even Ronald Reagan were gone from the Republican Party as far as philosophy. Too many modern Republicans had found themselves caught in “making deals” to keep the peace against radicals from the other party and they had lost their way–they realized too late the nature of the attack against them. Communists had infiltrated the Democratic Party in every way that McCarthy feared—and once the public relation machine turned on the McCarthy Hearings and the communists looked to escape scrutiny, they became much more socially bold. This brings us to Plank 15 on the 45 Planks of Communism shown below.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
Clearly the Democratic Party had been captured by communists prior to 1958, at least informally. The Democratic platform announced each year at the DNC convention nearly parallels the goals of communism verbatim, and this began during the Red Decade in The United States where many media outlets, universities, and politicians from elite social circles were openly embracing communism as an alternative to capitalism with the same kind of regard that a woman might change shoes from one charity fund raiser to another so to be seen not being so poor to not have other pairs of high heels. In social circles, especially in the 1960’s is was considered high-brow to admire the work of Che Guevara the Cuban revolutionary and right hand man of Fidel Castro. It is within the actions of Che—who continues to be a symbol of anti capitalism among American youth–which the extent of the communist push into the American political system can be measured.
As a young medical student, Guevara traveled throughout South America and was radicalized by the poverty, hunger, and disease he witnessed.[9] His burgeoning desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States prompted his involvement in Guatemala‘s social reforms under President Jacobo Árbenz, whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow at the behest of the United Fruit Company solidified Guevara’s political ideology.[9] Later, while living in Mexico City, he met Raúl and Fidel Castro, joined their 26th of July Movement, and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht, Granma, with the intention of overthrowing US-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.[10] Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to second-in-command, and played a pivotal role in the victorious two-year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime.[11]
Guevara remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. As a result of his perceived martyrdom, poetic invocations for class struggle, and desire to create the consciousness of a “new man” driven by moral rather than material incentives, he has evolved into a quintessential icon of various leftist-inspired movements. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century,[18] while an Alberto Korda photograph of him entitled Guerrillero Heroico (shown), was cited by the Maryland Institute College of Art as “the most famous photograph in the world”.[19]
Marxist ideological influence
“The merit of Marx is that he suddenly produces a qualitative change in the history of social thought. He interprets history, understands it’s dynamic, predicts the future, but in addition to predicting it (which would satisfy his scientific obligation), he expresses a revolutionary concept: the world must not only be interpreted, it must be transformed. Man ceases to be the slave and tool of his environment and converts himself into the architect of his own destiny.”
— Che Guevara, Notes for the Study of the Ideology of the Cuban, October 1960 [130]
When enacting and advocating Cuban policy, Guevara cited the political philosopher Karl Marx as his ideological inspiration. In defending his political stance, Guevara confidently remarked that “There are truths so evident, so much a part of people’s knowledge, that it is now useless to discuss them. One ought to be Marxist with the same naturalness with which one is “Newtonian” in physics, or “Pasteurian” in biology.”[130]According to Guevara, the “practical revolutionaries” of the Cuban Revolution had the goal of “simply fulfill(ing) laws foreseen by Marx, the scientist.”[130] Using Marx’s predictions and system of dialectical materialism, Guevara professed that “The laws of Marxism are present in the events of the Cuban Revolution, independently of what its leaders profess or fully know of those laws from a theoretical point of view.”[130]
At this stage, Guevara acquired the additional position of Finance Minister, as well as President of the National Bank. These appointments, combined with his existing position as Minister of Industries, placed Guevara at the zenith of his power, as the “virtual czar” of the Cuban economy.[126] As a consequence of his position at the head of the central bank, it was now Guevara’s duty to sign the Cuban currency, which per custom would bear his signature. Instead of using his full name, he signed the bills solely “Che“.[132] It was through this symbolic act, which horrified many in the Cuban financial sector, that Guevara signaled his distaste for money and the class distinctions it brought about.[132] Guevara’s long time friend Ricardo Rojo later remarked that “the day he signed Che on the bills, (he) literally knocked the props from under the widespread belief that money was sacred.”[133]
In an effort to eliminate social inequalities, Guevara and Cuba’s new leadership had moved to swiftly transform the political and economic base of the country through nationalizing factories, banks, and businesses, while attempting to ensure affordable housing, healthcare, and employment for all Cubans.[135] However, in order for a genuine transformation of consciousness to take root, Guevara believed that such structural changes would have to be accompanied by a conversion in people’s social relations and values. Believing that the attitudes in Cuba towards race, women, individualism, and manual labor were the product of the island’s outdated past, Guevara urged all individuals to view each other as equals and take on the values of what he termed “el Hombre Nuevo” (the New Man).[135] Guevara hoped his “new man” would ultimately be “selfless and cooperative, obedient and hard-working, gender-blind, incorruptible, non-materialistic, and anti-imperialist.”[135] To accomplish this, Guevara emphasized the tenets of Marxism-Leninism, and wanted to use the state to emphasize qualities such as egalitarianism and self-sacrifice, at the same time as “unity, equality, and freedom” became the new maxims.[135]Guevara’s first desired economic goal of the new man, which coincided with his aversion for wealth condensation and economic inequality, was to see a nation-wide elimination of material incentives in favor of moral ones. He negatively viewed capitalism as a “contest among wolves” where “one can only win at the cost of others” and thus desired to see the creation of a “new man and woman”.[136] Guevara continually stressed that a socialist economy in itself is not “worth the effort, sacrifice, and risks of war and destruction” if it ends up encouraging “greed and individual ambition at the expense of collective spirit“.[137] A primary goal of Guevara’s thus became to reform “individual consciousness” and values to produce better workers and citizens.[137] In his view, Cuba’s “new man” would be able to overcome the “egotism” and “selfishness” that he loathed and discerned was uniquely characteristic of individuals in capitalist societies.[137] To promote this concept of a “new man”, the government also created a series of party-dominated institutions and mechanisms on all levels of society, which included organizations such as labor groups, youth leagues, women’s groups, community centers, and houses of culture to promote state-sponsored art, music, and literature. In congruence with this, all educational, mass media, and artistic community based facilities were nationalized and utilized to instill the government’s official socialist ideology.[135] In describing this new method of “development”, Guevara stated:
“There is a great difference between free-enterprise development and revolutionary development. In one of them, wealth is concentrated in the hands of a fortunate few, the friends of the government, the best wheeler-dealers. In the other, wealth is the people’s patrimony.”[138]
A further integral part of fostering a sense of “unity between the individual and the mass”, Guevara believed, was volunteer work and will. To display this, Guevara “led by example”, working “endlessly at his ministry job, in construction, and even cutting sugar cane” on his day off.[139] He was known for working 36 hours at a stretch, calling meetings after midnight, and eating on the run.[137] Such behavior was emblematic of Guevara’s new program of moral incentives, where each worker was now required to meet a quota and produce a certain quantity of goods. As a replacement for the pay increases abolished by Guevara, workers who exceeded their quota now only received a certificate of commendation, while workers who failed to meet their quotas were given a pay cut.[137] Guevara unapologetically defended his personal philosophy towards motivation and work, stating:
“This is not a matter of how many pounds of meat one might be able to eat, or how many times a year someone can go to the beach, or how many ornaments from abroad one might be able to buy with his current salary. What really matters is that the individual feels more complete, with much more internal richness and much more responsibility.”[140]
Che went on to become an international sensation—a celebrity that was the greatest advocate of communism in the world during the 1960’s. As a military mind and revolutionary who hated the capitalism of America, he intended to subvert America strategically in the manner that an aggressor might cease a city, by surrounding it until the pent-up occupants were so hungry that they’d do anything to eat. Che Guevara surrounded the philosophy of global capitalism with communism until even the staunchest Republican was questioning their own moral ground—and were willing to accept some aspects of communism so not to be out-maneuvered politically by rivals who followed the example of Che Guevara.
Democrats were those rivals to the Republicans and they were firmly behind Che and the communist takeover of Cuba. Even though it was Kennedy a Democrat who had to deal with Castro during the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was members of his own party that allowed the stalemate to occur in the first place. To allow the Soviet Union to use a communist territory right off the coast of America to terrorize the mainland with nuclear threat was a strategy that was well in place for many years and was hardly a surprise to anyone on the inside who knew the real intentions of communists.
Communism found its way into both American political parties after the failure of the McCarthy hearings to stop the communist advancement as the public had accepted through their universities the continuous communist push by supportive faculty. It was common back then to see campus protests in the 1950’s declaring “Better Red then Dead” which was a KGB designed public relations campaign designed to turn the youth of America against capitalism. It was better to be alive under communism then dead under capitalism which was the message. Communist revolutionaries that reached rock star status like Che Guevara backed up that implanted fear with action.
Many of the politicians today, including the guy who was so mad at being called a RINO by me had their personal political philosophies shaped during the volatile period just described. Their opinions about the world were shaped under the threat of KGB marketing machines and the literal antagonism of Che Guevara. To the exact extent, let us see the situation through the eyes of John F. Kennedy himself during the terrible Cuban Missile crises which was organized strategically by Guevara himself through the firsthand memory of the President’s very young mistress at the time.
In June 1962, Mimi Alford was a 19-year old freshman from Wheaton College who had an internship at the White House. Within four days of meeting her, JFK took her on a tour of the White House, maneuvered her into a bedroom, undressed her, and made love to her “as if it was the most natural thing in the world.”
Alford’s story matters because she spent time with JFK on perhaps the single most important day in his presidency. It came in late October 1962 after the affair had carried on for several months. The U.S. had discovered that the Soviet Union secretly installed nuclear missiles in Cuba to defend the revolutionary government of Fidel Castro. Most of JFK’s national security advisors — and all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — recommended JFK order the invasion of the island to destroy the missiles and overthrow the impudent Castro. JFK, a war hero, resisted. He accepted the lesser measure of a Naval blockade of the island while searching for a diplomatic solution.
Alford, back at school in Massachusetts, evoked the dread of those days when the world stood on the brink of nuclear war, an “atmosphere of deep concern in some quarters and outright hysteria in others. We were warned about a national shortage of bomb shelters. We were besieged with apocalyptic estimates of how many people would die in a nuclear exchange.” No doubt seeking diversion from the burdens of office, JFK invited her to Washington. (He’d sent Jackie Kennedy and his children out-of-town.)
When Alford arrived at the White House on Oct. 28, 1962, Dave Powers, JFK’s personal aide, told her that the president had just sent a message to Moscow asking, for the last time, that the missiles be removed. Many thought war would start within 48 hours.
“Normally, he would have put his presidential duties behind him, had a drink and done his best to lighten up the room,” Alford recalled. Instead, JFK paced, contemplating whether he would soon have to make a decision to send thousands, if not millions, of people to a violent death. At one point, after leaving the room to take another urgent phone call, he came back shaking his head and said to Alford, “I’d rather my children be red than dead.” It wasn’t a political statement or an attempt at levity. These were the words of a father who adored his children and couldn’t bear them being hurt. Thus, this is how both political parties in America accepted communism.
The truth is hard to admit. Most people I know in politics support open socialism and they mistakenly call it capitalism. Their minds are distorted with deal making and political slander—lost to any resemblance of morality because they have been taught incorrect ideals about virtually everything in their life. Those ideals were shaped by the communists of the late 1950’s and 60’s under great duress and fear—under literal terrorism where global communists attacked the philosophy of capitalism with great hate, the way radical Muslims attack Christianity with ruthlessly determined swagger and a sense that their individual lives do not matter so long as the collective whole lives on.
About 30 minutes before Che Guevara was executed in 1967 at the tender young age of 39, Félix Rodríguez privately told a captured Guevara that he was going to be executed. Guevara then responded by asking Rodríguez if he was an American of Mexican or Puerto Rican origin, having noted that Rodríguez did not speak Bolivian Spanish. Rodríguez replied that he was originally from Cuba but that he had emigrated to the US and was currently a member of the CIA. Guevara’s only reply was a loud “ha!” and he refused to speak any more to Rodríguez, who left the hut.
A little later, a few minutes before Guevera was executed, he was asked by one of the Bolivian soldiers guarding him if he was thinking about his own immortality. “No,” he replied, “I’m thinking about the immortality of the revolution.”[206] A few minutes later, Sergeant Terán entered the hut and immediately ordered the other soldiers out. Alone with Terán, Che Guevara then stood up and spoke to his executioner which were his last words: “I know you’ve come to kill me. Shoot. Do it. Shoot me, you coward! You are only going to kill a man!”[207] As Guevara was speaking, Terán hesitated, then opened fire with his M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, hitting him in the arms and legs. For a few seconds, Guevara writhed on the ground, apparently biting one of his wrists to avoid crying out. Terán then fired several times again, wounding him fatally in the chest. Che Guevara was pronounced dead at 1:10 pm local time according to Rodríguez.[207] In all, Guevara was shot nine times by Terán. That is how selfless, and fanatical communists have always been. They will hide their beliefs until it serves their strategic objective, then they will stop at nothing to execute their goal—even if it means their death.
American politics was captured during this period of revolution and it continues to be shaped to this day by communism, falsely believed to have been defeated during the Cold War. The current government shut-down is a long culmination of these events where years and years of abuse have finally collapsed on itself economically. The nature of these politicians is now clear. They are only functionaries under a system that is riddled with socialism by a communist push that has lasted for nearly 100 years in America, but climaxed right after the release of The Naked Communist. The situation is so bad that the so-called bastion of the Republican Party, the current Speaker of the House and my direct congressman, John Boehner was caught trying to cut a deal with the Democrats Harry Reid and Barack Obama to exclude at least the political class from the socialism of Obamacare. READ MORE AT THE LINK BELOW FOR DETAILS.
I sent that article to some of the people who fund Boehner’s campaign in my area leaving them in a difficult position. What they will do with that information is the result of years of communism—if they deny Boehner campaign funds they risk having a communist oriented Democrat representing them in congress. If they try to crack down on Boehner without the collective support of other fundraisers, they may find themselves and their business scrutinized by the federal government unfavorably—so it is risky to do anything. Of course Boehner knows all this. His dilemma in trying to strike a deal with Reid was similar to the one that JFK was faced with while having sex with his 19-year-old mistress, it’s better red than dead. Rather than fight Obamacare outright at first, until the Tea Party members of the Republican Party voiced their protests, Boehner wanted to at least work out an exemption for himself, his family and his members—as Speaker of the House. He hoped to work out a concession. John Boehner’s focus was not on the deceitful ways that Obamacare was passed, on the disguise of it as a tax to shove it through the Democratically controlled House and Senate, the Supreme Court Ruling allowing it to stand as a “tax” on the American public when it was really sold as another entitlement—on the origin of the deal to make all Americans customers to the insurance industry whether they wanted to or not compelling them under force to buy something—Boehner could only think about himself just like the terrible day in 1962 just before his assassination in Texas where Kennedy confided to his lover—its better red than dead.
Obamacare is a communist dream and its start can be traced back to the intention of communists in 1958 to infiltrate both political parties in America. There can be no question that they were successful based on the actions of the current House Speaker John Boehner who is a functioning communist believing with all his heart and soul that he’s a fiscal conservative. When faced with the realization that it is better red then dead, even the hardest core conservative will choose to go red, so to protect their own lives from the threat of communism which they fear so intensely, they no longer even call it by its proper name.
For many readers here, they vaguely remember how things were during the Cold War. Young people born at the start of the 1990’s have no memory of the Cold War and have since had the event washed away from the collective conscience of America through the public education system, which will be covered extensively during a later article. But the U.S.S.R was fully intent to take over the world replacing all political ideologies with communism. It was, and still is their undisputed goal. Global communists in Planks 8 – 14 sought to infiltrate the American created United Nations as a way to put the world at their feet with counter intelligence activity that would enable them to accomplish their global goals. Read those intentions for yourself below.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
Obviously today, the intentions are more of a reality. The United Nations is on the door step to the entire world and in America through Agenda 21 is infiltrating the culture of The United States with a communist philosophy that has virtually taken over every zoning board in every American city so quietly that many of the participants don’t even know why or how they came to think the way they do about things. If you need a review of what Agenda 21 is, CLICK HERE. Communists were aware that they were a threat to individual freedom throughout the world and they needed a way to stay relevant. They had to find a way to keep from becoming outlawed in free countries, while still growing as a world-wide influence—so they penetrated the United Nations so to infect the world with their social, and economic philosophies. The result has been the world we currently are living in; economies stagnant—living off the past that are slowly dying. In Russia individual motivation had already died, which is why they needed access to the U.S. Patent office. The people of Russia had given up on any kind of personal ambition and weren’t inventing anything. The gross incompetence of any communist system is terribly evident comparing the time of 1917 where communism saturated Russia with a crippling political mentality while radio, film, manufacturing, television broadcasting, and sky scraper industries popped up in America within just a few years under capitalism. Communism had to stop the power of capitalism and to do so they had to loot off the ideas created in America so their country could keep up economically in some fashion while they chipped away from within the United Nations the sovereignty of America.
The 45 Planks of Communism was a military maneuver not made so much by nations against each other as is typically the case during modern warfare, but philosophies. In this case communism started by Karl Marx 60 years prior to the 1917 Russian Revolution slowly penetrated Russian culture over many years until enough people were ready to overthrow the bourgeoisie class. The same period of time evolved from the Russian Revolution to the fall of the Berlin Wall where the economic system of communism failed, and that wall dividing West and East Berlin was finally torn down. As the world celebrated the fall of communism, and the break-up of the Soviet Empire communism had penetrated The United Nations and spread violently under the changed name of “progressivism.”
The attack in America was underway. Fiscal collapse has always been the goal of communists using The United Nations to force America to spread itself too thin all over the world while halting American business with excessive regulations. The so-called Lean Manufacturing methods that were made so popular in the Asian theater were popularized by The United Nations as a way to incorporate the entire world into a shared system that broke down the resistance to communism. Micro management disguised as Lean Manufacturing was the way that communism has halted the growth of American business using so-called efficiency studies to introduce bureaucratic red tape that would halt innovation in corporations focusing all work places into embracing communist views of shared input. Even America’s largest companies have found and accepted that government regulation, and business compliance into lean manufacturing methods promoted by the United Nations has crippled their internal innovations and efficiency of their work forces. Mostly today, America lives off its past innovations as new concepts are not introduced as individual motivation has been removed in service to the concept of a collective whole—the overall health of the organization. This concept of shared sacrifice in American business is a spill-over from communist propaganda manipulated through The United Nations to stop capitalism. CLICK HERE FOR A SAMPLE.
Lean Manufacturing for American companies was the only way they could counter the terrorist tendencies of communist labor unions with a legitimate proposal of focusing on efficiency instead of the individuals that made up the unions. However, the tactic was employed on both ends by communists who infiltrated The United Nations and advanced both proposals—which forced collectivism onto entrepreneurial activities. Without the United Nations, it is highly likely that unions would have fizzled out in America well before the 1980’s and that business innovation would still be the standard instead of the exception.
The strategies employed by communists aimed to bring mass societies into the understanding of collectivism by destroying individual effort and focusing on collective causes. Everywhere this is done, the strategy began in these 45 planks of communism, and was embarked on a scale much larger than anyone realized at the time, and cannot simply be comprehended otherwise. But when it is understood that communism is behind the push for a stronger United Nations, and behind even Lean Manufacturing introduced to America through United Nations “globalism” outreach then the strategies of communism are easy to see. The devious depths of their efforts where nothing but the complete destruction of individual effort in favor of collective causes, and since that mentality could not compete directly with capitalism, communists needed the American funded United Nations to attack capitalism in an indirect way, instead of a full-fledged frontal assault.
The Bill Cunningham Show as it is today, and probably always was—is an act. Similar to how Cunningham runs his afternoon television show which has replaced the Jerry Springer Show as tabloid television of a salacious nature, the radio show that made him famous is also only a show. Cunningham has made a good living off pandering to various demographic types. Cunningham’s WLW conservative radio talk show is geared toward small government types. His television show is geared toward the typical school levy supporter and welfare recipient. But occasionally, Cunningham has on a good guest that says some really wonderful things. One such instance was the recent visit by Wayne Allyn Root representing his website, Root For America.com. Root is to the left of my political position, but nobody of any intelligence can argue with what he said during his appearance on 700 WLW recently. Have a listen.
Even though Cunningham waffles back and forth and stays in the current political center about where Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly is, broadcasts like that one are useful. The people to the left of O’Reilly and Cunningham are worlds away from where Root and I are. People like Obama and his kind might as well live on the tumbling asteroid of Pluto out on the edge of the earth’s solar system. Obama is not even close to being on the same planet of political ideology as most of America, particularly in the middle of the country from rural Pennsylvania to the mountains of Reno, Nevada. The only people who think the way Obama does are the conquered people who live in the big cities and are addicted to social government services, or people who work for the government. Most everyone else thinks and feels as Root does—they just don’t feel comfortable vocalizing it.
I agree with what Root said, but more than anything he was spot on in blaming most of America’s current problems on the failed public education system. He was right, there are too many liberal teachers ran by big labor unions with progressive political goals as their primary objective. It has been dangerous to allow those types of people to teach our generations of children, and the severity of that danger is evident in our present society. Education must be completely re-invented; it is a dismal failure in present form. It has delivered to a massive population all the wrong ideals, values, and political sentiments, and our nation is showing the damage. It is their fault primarily that nearly half the nation lives on Pluto with Obama while people like Root and I stand on the kind of ground which founded the freest country on earth in human history.
Wayne Allyn Root did not exaggerate about his comments on the state of America. The trouble is that most people don’t hear those types of comments often enough. Too many people are content to watch Cunningham’s afternoon television show, and skip the radio audience which broadcasts segments like the one with Root. Political diatribes with fierce conviction are seldom heard on television shows away from the cable channels—and that has allowed large portions of the nation to be pulled out into space away from the firm grounding of the American Constitution. But because of media like this website, those epic broadcasts can be shared with those who were watching television instead of listening to the radio. So dear reader, I would suggest you sent this to them, and enlighten them to the ways of the world from those who are sane and defending the world from those who aren’t.
It used to be 700 WLW that I did a lot of radio work for, but over time they decided to take a noticeably centralist political position and stay close to their core audience, which is sports radio. But I still do a considerable amount of radio in other markets, and one of the most is my friend Matt Clark from WAAM in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Recently Matt and I did a show together about American Excepetionalism and Walt Disney to bring to mind why America was the only country on earth who could have produced a Walt Disney type of person, let alone an entire company. Many countries have tried as the blue print is evident for all to see. Walt Disney even tells everyone how he did it at one of his amusement parks in Florida—the Hollywood Studios “History of Walt Disney.” But those countries can’t and never will, because success is more than just performing the action—it is a philosophy. To thank me for doing that particular one hour radio episode, Matt sent me a coffee mug that he had bought at Disney World showing all the different logs of that “happiest place on earth” which have been designed over the years. CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW. It arrived unexpectedly weeks after the interview and it has taken me time to sort out my feelings about it. The surface emotions were one of gratitude and kindness. Matt didn’t have to do anything to thank me. I enjoy doing radio shows, so gifts weren’t necessary. However, there was more to the mug than just a simple gift. Matt went to the time and trouble of purchasing it for me, and having it sent to my house at a reasonable expense. The mug itself wasn’t any different from one which could be purchased from a local Wal-Mart or other retailer. But the fact that this mug came from Disney World had meaning which Matt and I mutually understood, containing the symbol of what America is, or has been. That symbol was captured well by the Disney Company and is nearly all that remains of the old philosophy of The United States—the one of self-reliance, and innovation. Matt sending me the mug was intended as a message across time and space in recognition that he and I know the secret which is lost to the human race. That secret was the knowledge of an attack that occurred many years ago, and slowly. Walt Disney, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne and Ayn Rand, along with many others in Hollywood attempted to warn the world of the attack. CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. But by 1958 the attack, by a secret Trojan Horse many years in the making was unleashed in full view of all. The battle plan was listed in the book by Cleon Skousen, The Naked Communist, but it was too late. The Horse had already been opened behind enemy lines and the troops of world-wide communism had spread out to strike down an unsuspecting public.
In the book The Naked Communist, the means for taking over the world in favor of communism was listed so that those sympathetic to communism could step in and know the battle plan quickly, and acclimate themselves to the climate. Those in denials of such a plan would ignore the book and turn away from the warning of Walt Disney and Ayn Rand hoping they were wrong—but they weren’t. The list of strategies listed in that dreadful book is shown below. I’ve covered them before, but it is apparent that more needs to be done to explain what has happened in modern American culture, so I am going to take the considerable effort of explaining each of them one by one in upcoming articles—starting with the first. The rest can be seen in the following list. Read them then attempt to deny that such an attack has not happened. After the list is viewed I will begin with issue #1 and explain the strategy behind it and implementation value. The list was read before the House of Representatives in 1963, as evident by the link at the conclusion, but by then it was too late. The communists had already infiltrated both parties, and freedom had lost its majority rule. America had been prepared to fight off any enemy that showed its swords, guns and missiles to us. But it was not prepared to fight an attack on its philosophy which was conducted with pinheaded academics and political bureaucrats.
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Since the first three items on that list are so related, let us deal with them as a whole so to understand the intent of the communists in listing them in the first place. They are:
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength
The world, particularly Russia was very weary of the manufacturing capacity by The United States. Through capitalism, America had wealth which allowed it to dominate all other militaries—so communism would never spread so long as America had a military force which stood in the way. So the only strategy available to the communists was to develop a coexistence strategy that crippled the moral aptitude of America from engaging in war. The Peace Sign was created as a way to stimulate the compassion of American youth into turning against their government’s willingness to out produce weapons of mass destruction, which communist nations could not keep up with under their statist policies.
By the 1960s the Peace Sign was common, and in 2013 it is even sold as jewelry to unsuspecting young people who think its “hip.” The message of global peace is wide-spread and well understood, but it was started by the communists who knew they could not impose themselves upon an America that could destroy their country a thousand times over with firepower created under the unrestricted aptitude of capitalism. The human race had been in a sprint for nuclear power, and under capitalism, America had arrived first gaining the high ground in a global strategy. The only way to take America away from that high ground was to convince them to allow every country in the world to share their strategic position.
Nobody in their right mind wishes for nuclear war, or even armament that could destroy the world millions of times over. However, if America had not gained such supremacy first, the world—especially the towel headed extremists of the Middle-East would have used such weapons to destroy all members of Christianity, Buddhism, even the cannibal eating tribes of New Guinea into oblivion just to fulfill their religious direction to destroy all infidels—anyone who is not of the Islamic faith. The weapons of the world are only one madman away from global threat, and America has been all that stands in the way of that takeover. Communists wish to remove the threat of madmen altogether by micromanaging every life into servitude to the state. They believe falsely that they can stop such attacks with a global communist government. Before they could do that, they had to remove America as the barrier to tyranny with capitalism. So long as America stood as a symbol of freedom, economically, morally, and strategically, communism would be a stalled case.
The rest is history. Of course nobody calls the “peace sign” a symbol of communist menace. People don’t even call communism—communism. They call it “socialism,” Labour Party philosophy, the Democratic platform, progressivism, the concerns of the “green movement,” they call it everything but what the roots are—and that is communism. Because of the rest of the 45 communist planks, people have forgotten what the threat of communism was completely, which I will cover in detail with future articles. But Walt Disney knew of the danger and is the only place left in America where communism is still kept at bay. Communism has certainly left its mark on the Disney Company as compliance regulations have made its presence known through the legal system, but the ideal of freedom that Walt Disney captured through his entertainment empire protected America with a Trojan Horse of its own.
When Matt Clark sent me the mug, he was sending me a secret message letting me know that he understood. That secret message is that Uncle Walt is the method to undercutting the infiltration that communists have ushered in upon American culture and that no matter how dire the situation gets; we both know that freedom from communism is again obtainable. To touch and feel that freedom, all one need to do is look at the logo of the Disney World complex, and understand that communists could have never created such a place under any conditions. Only a free people could ever conceive such a thing as Disney World—which communists could never hope to aspire to. Matt understands as I do, that the best way to beat the 45 Planks of Communism is to undo each of those points one by one—and the best way to do that is not with guns, force, or legislation—but with creativity—which the communist is dreadfully lacking. The way to beat a communist is with a superior intellect and creative force that cannot be duplicated under communist regimes—and to use that high ground to finally destroy a foe that thrives off public sentiment and emotional mandate which drives inaction.
So Matt, I will enjoy the mug. It sits proudly on our counter top when not in use. The emblems upon it speak of a truth mutually understood, and a long battle yet to fight against the thoughtless tirades of The Naked Communist—exposed not due to a lack of clothing, but their philosophical attack which has finally been acknowledged for what it always was.
The very expensive wine was flowing freely at the type of dinner that cost a small group of five over $2500. It was the type of thing that business professionals and political science majors spend many thousands of dollars in college hoping they’ll achieve some day. The minds were powerful; the participants were dressed in their latest fashions from Nordstroms, and the topics were at the top of discussion in any level of human endeavor. It was a power dinner and at 8 PM in the evening my wife sent me a text………..”are you done yet.” I replied, “not yet, I’m about to wrap it up. I’ll be home very soon. Get everything ready.” The handshakes concluded and all members of the small party left into the parking lot by different trajectories as I headed for my motorcycle parked far away but in clear view of the restaurant. I do this so my enemies cannot tamper with my transportation while I’m involved in these kinds of activities. I never sit with my back to a crowd, and I never sit somewhere where I cannot see my transportation at all times. It is an old trick I learned from friends I who were “hit men” during the 80’s working for a branch of the mob stationed in Chicago responsible for the Chester Road portion of business coming out of Sharonville, Ohio. Precautions no longer necessary I headed home quickly and within 25 minutes was in front of the same computer station that had been set up 9 months prior for the solitary purpose of playing an online game called The Old Republic. My wife and I have duel computers built specifically for heavy online gaming, and she was waiting for me with both units powered up and ready to go. I sat down and we began to play the same video game that we had played almost every day since the previous December when we started our journey into a galaxy far, far away set in a time, a long time ago.
I consider the time my wife and I have spent playing that game together to be far more important than the value of the dinner described, or any other dealing I’ve been involved with at any point in my life. The reason can be seen in the above video. In the real world that we all live in there are veils of deceit that permeate everything—even the dinner mentioned. There is a sense that nothing is as it really is—that everything is dressed up to disguise the ugliness that is left unmentioned. Our society is at war, but nobody discusses it—the war is not over racism, equal rights, or even political ideology—but over philosophy—even religion. It is a war over values which nobody discusses. However, in the Star Wars game my wife and I have spent well over a thousand hours playing together as one of our favorite past times, values are the theme of the entire game, and I relish the environment.
I feel most comfortable on the space ship I have in the game in the middle of space away from the noise of the busy metropolis worlds, or the baron outposts that exist in the outer rim. The ship is mine, the space is mine, and the control I have of what goes on within it are for me and me alone. Of all the cool things to do in The Old Republic my favorite are the space missions. They are not traditional flight simulators, but the graphic combat is absolutely astounding. I never tire of them. In that place the perspective of existence is easy to see. The values of the game make sense to me, and the war between the factions eluded to in the above video are those of our modern age, which go unsaid in the dinner meetings previously described. In such meetings it is permissible to discuss football team power rankings, baseball playoff scenarios, and the latest in fashion, but not the things that really matter—philosophy. But in The Old Republic, my wife and I can play side by side on many far flung worlds against players who adhere openly to the opposite philosophy, the fight between statism represented by the Imperial players, and individual freedom represented by players of The Old Republic. The fight for freedom versus control is out in the open and obvious. Those attracted to the Imperial faction tend to support statism, while those who support the Republic tend to support individual freedom, and within the confines of that game, it is easier to see the boundaries that exist in the real world—and I relish the honesty.
I have said it on many occasions, I believe Star Wars and their movies, the television shows, the many novels, the comics, and the video games are bringing a philosophy to tomorrow’s world that will have far-reaching consequences deep into the future. Those consequences are stepped carefully around during dinner meetings as nobody feels comfortable discussing them in public, because most people feel unqualified to express their feelings about philosophy. But philosophy is the foundation of thought, and without firmness in a manner of belief, people have a tendency to drift in their convictions. However, in the world of The Old Republic, the characters are not shy about their beliefs, and they are willing to fight to support them—which for my wife and I, is why we’d rather play that game together, than do just about anything else. Meetings like the one I was engaged in do not impress her. But beating a terrible villain on a remote world in TheOld Republic does.
When I arrived at my game that day my wife had snacks lined up by my keyboard ready for two or three hours of gaming. Her computer sits right next to mine and our characters link up online so we can travel together in that virtual world the way we would in the real one. We both love the game for its honesty—and for the commitment to goodness that TheOld Republic stands for. I enjoy fighting for that Republic the way I’d like to fight for the American Republic—if only people in the real world were as honest with their beliefs, as they are within the world of a video game. Under such conditions, I will choose the honesty of fiction over the falseness of reality.
There is a freedom in the of The Old Republic that does not exist in the real world of current, but it should. The philosophy of America articulated through The Constitution allows for that freedom, but in practice, it has been surrendered to discussion about sports teams, and redundant trivia—leaving the most important things in life unrepresented. In The Old Republic I am free to punish evil, and stand for good without the worry and concern of confrontation with statist government. In the real world there is constant worry about arrests, legal costs, and social castigation for doing the right things—and standing up for what’s right over what’s wrong. In The Old Republic, such concerns do not exist, which is why my wife and I prefer that environment over all others. That is the reason even after a long day associating with the kind of people young professionals dream of growing up to correlate with, and dinning in luxury among—my eye was on the clock dreaming of getting home to my wife who awaited me at the spaceport of Corellia. It is then that we experience freedom, and justice the way the human mind desires—away from the failed philosophies, and political corruption that leads to war, and the suppression of freedom in the real Republic of America. It is in the fictional world of the computer where real freedom resides, and why video games in general are so popular—and hold so much power over the minds of tomorrow. I foresee a literal day when the video above comes true as shown, in the world of the living, of the real. The statists are out to destroy those who cherish freedom, and the fight has not yet manifested beyond unspoken words over wine glasses and sports trivia. But it’s coming……….trust me. For now, the only world that matters is the one in The Old Republic—where honesty is clearer through the lost art of philosophy accompanied by the sights, sounds, and action from a computer generated world that is freer providing relief from the real world we are all chained to.
My wife and I have never really returned from our vacation that started so many months ago during the cold December months of late 2012. I have cut back my personal meetings and interactions to a bare minimum in favor of this fictional world because the vacation has been that good, so good that not even the indulgencies of opulence conducted under luxurious and socially acceptable conditions hold a candle to tasting freedom within the purely imagination driven world of The Old Republic.
I find that an important observation for the simple reason that within ten years there will be a dramatic shift in public sentiment toward the traditions of public education, especially the benefit of extra-curricular activities like football and cheerleading. As the college bubble busts, millions of kids realizing they are not going to get a scholarship to a school that will only waste their time will not submit to the age-old scam of public education funding. When the youth of the current generation, the age of young people who are rushing out to purchase the latest Fantasy Flight Game offering, there will not be sympathetic ears to future levy requests and the type of tripe offered by the Lakota school system shown below attempting to sell the benefits of Common Core instruction to a gullible public.
Common Core is a statist education system, and those who support it typically see big government solutions to family problems. They envision the school stepping in to a family to save the child from a future their parents are not qualified to provide—at least as defined by the statist. The pro and con selections above are clearly in favor of preserving the present education system—which a year or two ago might have upset me greatly. But there is a trend forming that the supporters of Common Core and public education in general has not yet identified—the trend that can be seen in gaming circles where young people from age 15 to 30 are gathering to play games like Magic the Gathering, X-Wing, and War Hammer. Those gamers are not raising families as their predecessors did many years ago, the types of people who attended the Cherokee Elementary meeting about Common Core shown in the above documents. Those previous generations loved the social activity of public school, the bands, the cheerleading and the football. The next generation doesn’t care so much, and it shows. There’s nothing in a Friday night football game for them when it is far more exciting to play a war game with friends over pizza.
When I was a kid, only remote pockets of people did these kinds of things, playing games and indulging in “anti-social” behavior which was the typical stereotypes of Dungeon and Dragon players. Most everyone else craved to “be seen” at the football game parents and students alike. In this way, the school was the center piece of a community, and the labor unions took advantage of the social addiction with high taxes for wages that were clearly inflated. Increasingly, the demographic group who plays Fantasy Flight types of games and video games is changing the marketplace. Speaking with these people increasingly with my experiences playing X-Wing there is a noticeable rebellion against school centered activity. I do not see today’s X-Wing, and Magic players sitting in a future meeting of Common Core education and listening like mindless drones to the diatribes of big government school board types. I see a rejection of state centered education in favor of alternatives.
Jaden Smith represents well this new emerging public school sentiment from the upcoming generation. Jaden might be best known as the star of the remake of “The Karate Kid” and for his lifelong role as the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, but the 15-year-old is also starring in his own online controversy after sounding off against America’s education system, calling school a brainwashing tool. And guess what………….It should come as no surprise, but as a 45-year-old man, I agree with the young fellow. He’s dead right.
Jaden tweeted to his more than 4.5 million followers on Sept. 12, “School Is The Tool To Brainwash The Youth” and “If Newborn Babies Could Speak They Would Be The Most Intelligent Beings On Planet Earth.”
Jaden, 15, is considered Hollywood royalty, being a friend of Justin Bieber and dating a sister of the Kardashians, Kylie Jenner, but some people say he is setting a bad example with his comments.
Jaden Smith’s opinion is rather typical of the gaming crowd—a crowd that is growing rapidly. Again, when I was a kid, nobody spoke the way Smith did. Nobody wanted to be considered a “social outcast.” But increasingly, it is cool to be against statism, and to play table-top war games and World of Warcraft late into the night. Those people once they become property owners of their own and get married are likely to plug their children into a computer and homeschool them so that they can save the expense of paying for fees at a public school for typical sports programs, and transportation costs. The parents of tomorrow won’t be whisking their children off to soccer games to satisfy some silly social imposition of public opinion—they will be playing games with their kids at their dinner tables and staying home to save the money so they can buy more games from Fantasy Flight Games.
I bought a new B-Wing fighter over the weekend from the Wave 3 release of Star Wars: X-Wing. The store owner told me that his shipment of 50 arrived on Thursday and were gone by Sunday. I bought his last one. Ten years ago, I along with a handful of others would have been the only ones to make such a purchase. Today, there are at least 50 in three days. Ten years from now, it will be commonplace, and high school sports will be the rarity. The social gains made in public school that were so important to previous generations are dying on the vine, and Common Core, with all the cheerleading by statists for it, is an education system that is currently on the life support of extraordinary high taxes paid by a sympathetic generation who still sees public schools as the center of communities. But at Yattaquest in Mt. Healthy on a Friday night, or Gamestop any day of the week, an entirely new voting bloc is emerging, and they feel about public school the same as what Jaden Smith does. When they grow up and have property and their own families, they won’t listen to the kind of Common Core presentations that Joan Powell and company performed at Lakota with the above documents.
Public education may win a victory here and there, but the nail is already in their coffin. The youth of today will not support it in the future the way that other generations have because they have seen the scam firsthand. The statists who advance the myth that public education and society in general are the pillars of a community are going to learn in the very near future the folly of their beliefs. To see the future, visit a war game store on the weekend and study the type of people who are so passionate about those games. Society may call them nerds, but they are smart, because their hobby demands they use their brains, and they see through the veil of statist education programs like Common Core—and they won’t bite on the bait thrown into the tax increase waters. They won’t care if the statists call them names such as selfish, greedy, or anti-social. Because all they will care about is having enough money to purchase a new pack of Magic the Gathering, or X-Wing Miniatures. To them, the schools can rot away into oblivion and free the children who are imprisoned within their clutches of unthinking tyranny.
Like a voodoo priestess sprinkling blood from the cut off head of a chicken upon a sidewalk making shapes in tribute to the shadow gods, the Zombies of Lakota have come up with a new slogan for their 2013 tax increase campaign, “For Lakota.” The zombies of that cult ridden school district in Southern Ohio would have voters believe that a sacrifice of higher taxes would be to the benefit of the community when in fact it is only “For Lakota.” The zombies would have all believe that their campaign is for the kids of the school, but in reality it is only “For Lakota.” The concept of sacrifice to the mysticism of superstition is the cornerstone of the levy zombie argument as logic is the victim of their offering. The tax increases the Levy Zombies propose in the upcoming election are sacrifices by the community “For Lakota,” for teacher contracts, for political union control, for price-fixing, and for the pervert teachers who prey on the children who innocently attend the school.
As the yard signs in favor of tax increases pop up like zits on the face of an unfortunate teenager, the message of “For Lakota” has many meanings. But the primary one is sacrifice. Sacrifice to the gods of academia and their teacher’s union. It is they who drive up the cost of education and require the sacrifice of the community to sustain their blood thirsty cult of thoughtless zombies. It is “For Lakota” that the wealth of the community residing around the Lakota school district is tossed hoping through superstition that children will miraculously become smarter, more independent, and functional adults when the grim reality is that they are bred to be thoughtless hominids half dead to the world around them.
When signs displaying “For Lakota” pop up in a neighborhoods across Liberty Township and West Chester beware, a Lakota Levy Zombie resides there and will attempt to toss everything they can of value into the pit of fire the way South Pacific cannibal tribes tossed their virgin daughters to the fire gods residing in the lava pits of a volcano. Among all these primates, the voodoo priest, the volcano cannibals, and the Lakota levy zombie, they all declare the need for sacrifice to satisfy their appetites for destruction. In the case of Lakota it is the loss of fiscal value that they seek, not just the blood of a living being. One type of parasite seeks the life energy of the human being; the other seeks the lifeblood of an economy. But they both thrive off social sacrifice for the greater good—their good. When the signs stating “For Lakota” are seen remember that the displayer believes in this brand of sacrifice, and that their intellects are no different from the slack-jawed cannibal which haunts the remote islands of the South Pacific. Only these sacrificial parasitic zombies of Lakota are worse because they look and smell like normal people, but they are far from it. The best way to recognize their treachery is to look for yards where “For Lakota” is displayed. Upon such places the Zombies of Lakota reside.
It has always come up, and for whatever reason lately, has come up more often than usual, the notion of having a “thin skin.” The insinuation is that one should develop a “thick skin” and yield to insults of whatever kind for the purpose of collective opinion. Most of the world functions on this premise; however I disagree with it vehemently. I take name calling as a challenge to combat, otherwise it wouldn’t be attempted—for that is the real meaning behind the action. Yet our modern American interpretation of name calling and subtle slander is to assimilate the individual into group oriented behavior—to do as the drill sergeant does and drive out individual ego from a task and replace it with group assimilation. When the term “thin skin” is used, most of the time it is because the accuser wishes to impose upon another the destruction of individual ego so that they yield to collective enterprise.
When the issue of bullying is addressed in public schools, this is almost always the root cause. Schools do not know what to do about bullying because they are institutions of compliance, and require the destruction of individual ego. They generate bullying behavior by their very nature of existence. So they hope to curb the most violent forms of bullying with rules which never work, because the desire of institutionalism craves more the compliance of ego destruction than the compliance of rules to serve the whims of individuals. So as along as public schools exist in their current form, bullying will always occur. There is nothing a teacher, an administrator, or a parent can do about the issue.
In the military, bullying is used heavily during basic training. Personal insults are flung at individuals to strip them of their ego. The military mind molder then replaces the stripped away ego with compliance to greater causes associated with sacrifice to the group. Colleges do the same in their hazing rituals for the similar reasons. This is why such large portions of functioning adults have duality issues in their lives—why so many of them feel individually unsatisfied, ethically, sexually, intellectually when they are alone and are driven like moths to fire at social circles of group assimilation in order to find personal comfort, which never fully comes. They drink, get drunk, pop anti-depression medicine, or indulge themselves in some type of television prime time fiction, or fantasy sports selection to compensate their personal loss. The human craving of such activity comes from the destruction of their individual egos—and usually at the young age of grade school.
The entire human race past the age of 15 years of age expects group yielding to some degree or another. It has been pounded into our minds from a young age and the results are terribly obvious. Personal depression is driven by the need to align the values of individual ego with the social imposition of group assimilation. The desire to fulfill the empty goals of any group whether it be in a business enterprise where the underlings structure their lives around sucking up to their boss for the needs of the company rather than the drives of their individuality. The boss should not be surprised when they discover that a parade of incompetents work for their company. The boss hired individuals to fulfill certain tasks, yet those employees have built their lives around group pecking order, becoming obsessed with who is where on an organizational chart, believing falsely that the title one holds provides the merit of value for a job done—and those titles are given out by the boss—so sucking up might provide such merit. Both parties miss what they are looking for in the relationship, the boss loses because they end up hiring incompetent staff members who bring nothing to an enterprise but bobble heads who nod in agreement not because they agree with the boss, but because they want the titles the boss is entitled to provide to those deemed worthy. Because the boss often thinks the same way, they often give such titles to those who are most prone to assimilation to their organization—and failure ensues.
When I was young as is still the case, I did not accept this assimilation. In sports I sabotaged my own career because I would not allow myself to be assimilated into the group. I refused the snippy comments and personal insults from my coaches thinking they were making me better with violence earning me the nickname of “animal.” The older I got, the worse it got until coaches stopped trying to involve me. They wanted my athletic ability but I was just too much of a pain for the “team” they were trying to build. In class, I didn’t accept it from teachers. One example was an English teacher who was late every morning for home room class. This went on for months. The entire class had to stand outside waiting for the teacher to arrive. I felt as an individual that this was wrong, because it disrespected the individual rights of the other kids, and it made me very angry. So one morning when this teacher arrived to class—late, they discovered that the lock to their classroom door was packed shut with chewing gum, so that a key would not unlock the door. My message to the teacher was that if they wanted to ensure they could unlock their door in the morning, they better arrive early to protect it from sabotage. It took half a day to get a locksmith to open the door, which I had packed with gum in full view of everyone. Of course some of the students told the authorities on me as they were seeking favoritism from the teacher in a similar way that businessman kisses ass to work their way up the institutional ladder. They want the authority figure to grant the titles not based on individual effort, but by degree of personal sacrifice to the organization as a whole. I got into a lot of trouble, but it didn’t stop the behavior. I went on with a group of friends to set off fireworks in the halls under student’s feet within the very next week, and had frequent fights with other students. I sought to sabotage authority any way possible. It wasn’t that I went out looking for trouble, but was simply protecting my individuality against group assimilation.
As an adult I am very happy, and healthy. I’m in my middle years now, I take no medicine for depression, heart disease, or any other physical aliment. And while many my age seem to rely on Viagra to maintain their bedroom stamina, I couldn’t imagine having such a stupid problem—and don’t need it. I don’t drink, I don’t over eat, I don’t lose sleep at night over social issues, I could care less what my neighbors are doing so long as they don’t bother me. And I could sit for entire weekends totally alone and not get enough “me” time. I love myself, and I am happy I do. The result is that I have much love to give my family because the value of “love” is generated by my ego—which is uniquely preserved. Part of the preservation is in not tolerating attempts to assimilate my behavior to the whims of group compliance.
When it is said that such people have “thin skin” this is what the accusers hate, they wish to see a person who will yield their individuality to group goals instead of an individual pulling the group toward their goals. When it is wondered by the masses what the invisible qualities of leadership are, the root is in the ability of individuals to get groups to follow them. But leaders are not provided in this fashion by titles given by a boss. Leaders have intact egos that can bend the will of broken intellects to their desires by sheer force—the force is in unifying conquered souls toward a goal the individual leader desires. Really good leaders can do the same with individuals as well, and I am of this latter category. Because of my background that is often dripped with blood I learned how to achieve leadership without destroying the individuality of the participants. The spilt blood was worth the value, because the skill is unique in modern America, and it serves me well. That value wasn’t given to me by anybody; it is something I gave myself by not allowing my ego to be stripped away by group assimilators at any point in my life.
The same rules hold today. I don’t worry what people say behind my back, but if they engage me directly, they will get a fight—100% of the time. It is a personal policy that I have for my life to protect it against the forces of group assimilation which I have determined is one of the most corrosive forces in the known universe. At times when I have found myself at Walgreens to get a passport picture, or just to pick up some small grocery item I continue to be amazed at the long lines of people seeking doctor prescriptions for ailments that are mostly psychological. Most of the morbidly obese, the headache prone, the depression driven, the faulty heart conditions of those seeking Walgreen prescriptions, and even the blue pill popping men who desire to keep a four-hour erection for 5 minutes of bedroom engagement with their wives are driven to their multiple forms of insanity because of their stripped away egos which they yielded to group compliance imposed upon them by name calling. Of course my attitude has put me before many court judges who threatened years in jail if I did not become more compliant, but I always presented to them the perilous dilemma, which I covered in my novel Tail of the Dragon. I was always basically a good person, with moral authority on my side. The cost of putting my non compliant behavior into a locked up area is greater for them than against me, so they have elected not to do it. In times when blood has been spilt and bodies were broken, it was cheaper for the statist system to yield to the individual, because the refusal to yield in a locked up environment means death and liability for the captors—and knowing that they were looking at a pure example of goodness, they elected not to impose that cost on themselves. Thus, the benefit of being an individual in a socially broken world full of followers who are lost if they don’t have a leader in their lives to issue out merit for unearned action. Name calling is the first step into removing ego from individuals for the benefit of group assimilation. The loss of ego destroys individuals and robs the gifts that personalities have to give to their families, their friends, their companies, but worst of all, themselves. Such victims die a slow death beginning in their grade school years once they start yielding to authority instead of fighting to preserve themselves.
So I have a strict policy against assault, I don’t allow it, verbally, or physically. It is not my duty to learn to take it for some mythical “greater good,” yielding to the needs of institutionalism. The by-product is that I have unique gifts to offer, and those who know me best, understand how much it enriches their lives—and institutions. But the benefits cannot be understood without the context of leadership and what makes someone a “natural leader” and what makes others just kiss-ass administrators as worthless as toilet paper—the tragedy of our current society is in their lack of ability to know the difference because they are functioning from the wrong motivations in their lives given to them by faulty educations at an early age. It is for these reasons that I have a zero tolerance policy for personal insult, and why many refer to my behavior has being “thin skinned” as if it were my social duty to allow impositions from inferiors to loot my value to bolster their own deflated egos with the value of my personal worth. The term, “thin skin” is just another name calling attempt to do for the egos what Viagra does for their genitals, and that is something I won’t allow—and never will.
The worldwide total box office take for Disney’s The Lone Ranger was $239,131,00 which is respectable. It was hardly the box office flop that the entertainment industry has attempted to project it to be. I felt that The Lone Ranger deserved a bit of defense because it was a hack of a good movie. I heavily promoted it, I loved the film, and I am sure that when it hits the home theater market, it will do excessively well. Disney spent the enormous sum of $215 million on the production of the modern western plus many tens of millions on advertising hoping the picture would bring in a billion dollars as a summertime blockbuster. But the money wasn’t there. By the time the summer box office market hit the Fourth of July, movie goers had already spent their money on superhero pictures like Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel. Money was still spent on children’s films like Monster’s U and Disney’s Planes, but for the most part, movie audiences had run out of money leaving many studio films to fail at the box office. But when it came to The Lone Ranger, there was a hatred from the entertainment community that caused them to even turn against Johnny Depp, which I found fascinating, and I know exactly why. A good portion of the why is seen in a totally unrelated Blaze Television piece that Glenn Beck did about his experiences on a real western ranch. The entertainment community in Hollywood’s Wilshire Blvd and Broadway in New York has grown to despise the “flyover states” and Glenn Beck is part of that New York culture which is where he made his fame and fortune. But wisely, he has moved away in search for truth and discovered the America that the rest of us already know about, and he is touched by the results.
The Lone Ranger as a Disney film was about these good ol’ fashioned attributes of self-reliance and rugged individualism. The movie will be looked back upon as a success as it will become a fan favorite in the years to come once it gets away from the entertainment machine that is rooted in progressive political causes. The Lone Ranger was in fact too good for the modern film community. They did not want it to do well because they didn’t want to have to compete against it with future remakes and copy-cat attempts by other studios. Modern progressives do not want to revisit the era of the American western. They do not want western values to exist in American culture for many of the reasons Glenn Beck uttered in his short video clip above.
The movie business is changing dramatically, and industry insiders know it will not be to their advantage. They resent Disney as a family film studio and the amount of money they generate. Disney thankfully holds the rights to Marvel Comics, Pixar, their own slate of family programming and now the massive franchise of Star Wars which I’m going to state emphatically is set to change the world with “western values.” Star Wars is a modern western. George Lucas made Star Wars in the spirit of the old Saturday morning serials that made The Lone Ranger so popular and there is little that the world can do at this point to stop the explosion of Star Wars that is about to burst upon the world. Movie studios attempting fixed progressive social messages can see that Disney is positioned to get the “family friendly” message out to the flyover states for the next 20 years while they collapse under the weight of competition.
That competition is driven by union labor. The cost to make movies is too high because labor demands are too ridiculously over-rated and most studios cannot make films that will garner over $500 million in worldwide market sales which is what it takes to cover modern production costs. So many studios will drown within the next decade because they will have to produce more comedies, more chick flicks, and more small pictures that are not so effects driven, because during the summer of 2013, many of them took a bath that they drowned in. The impact of 2013 won’t be seen until 2015. In that year, Disney will become the most dominant film studio in entertainment as the rest of the entertainment establishment reels. Other studios will have to file for bankruptcy. They will not be able to compete.
Disney has their own internal marketing machine, their own amusement park revenue, and they own ABC, ESPN and many other media outlets, so they can afford to have the rest of the industry turn their back on them, which they did when The Lone Ranger was released. Critics went after the film more for the power that Disney had, than because the film was bad. The industry wanted to see Disney fail because they know what’s coming, and they resent the filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer openly naming himself a conservative while he was promoting The Lone Ranger. That is where the real hatred for The Lone Ranger filmmakers and the film itself stemmed from. Disney is not making movies for the Los Angeles and New York markets, but for the other 48 states that are the “flyovers.”
When Star Wars hits the release phase, Lucasfilm under the protection of Disney is going to produce the most intense schedule of family programming ever seen in the motion picture, and television industry. I have read just about every Star Wars novel, and I can report that there is so much wealth in that story line that literature has never seen anything like it. When that material becomes television shows, cartoons on the Disney Channel, more novels, more movies, more video games, entertainment will be changed forever. And Star Wars is not a progressive production—it is traditional in the way that The Lone Ranger was a western set in the desert during a historical past; Star Wars is a western set in the distant past in deep space.
When it is wondered what the Huffington Post and Glenn Beck have in common, it is Star Wars. The Huffington Post covers every move of the Star Wars production with keen interest and if anybody has read any books by Glenn Beck Star Wars references are common, especially in his novel The Overton Window. When Star Wars hits theaters in the winter of 2015 after Avengers Two dominates the summer box office the world will change in entertainment. A new bar will be set, and many studios will collapse under the pressure. They know this instinctively and they took out their frustration on The Lone Ranger.
In the end, The Lone Ranger will get the last laugh. It will not be a financial loss for the Disney studio as it will easily cover its marketing budget with home sales on Blu Ray. But more than that, The Lone Ranger is one of the many influences of Star Wars. The values of The Lone Ranger are the values of Jaina Solo who will be the star of the next Star Wars film. She will go down in history as the strongest female protagonist in any movie at any point in time, and Disney will be the studio that can take credit for it. Disney will not need the New York and Los Angeles media in their court. They will have the “fly over states” and a very hungry international market that is poised to consume the intensely “western” values of Star Wars which will eclipse everything else produced by all other studios. In the end, The Lone Ranger produced by the Disney Company will ride off into the sunset knowing the part it played in the creation. Critics attacked The Lone Ranger not because it was a bad movie, but because of the values it articulated. But even their parade of insults did not prevent the film from doing respectable business. For Disney however, the best is yet to come, and for those who were afraid of The Lone Ranger, wait till the impact of the new generation of Star Wars hits a youth that is so hungry for heroes that they can think of little else. The emotional void left by our modern progressive society will fill quickly with values that were born in the American western.
And no group of progressives, Fabian socialists, or open communists will be able to stop it this time……………………………………….
The western is back. But this time the horse will be replaced by space ships, the gun and the whip by the lightsaber of Jaina Solo.
