One of the things that people most ask me when I’m out and about talking, is what will happen to Doc Thompson—what’s next for him? They ask me because Doc and I made a lot of waves in Cincinnati when he was on 700 WLW and people enjoyed the playful way that he dealt with very serious topics. Being a conservative talk show host with a lot of Marconi awards behind his many years of radio experience, Doc is one of those unusual people who have never let the cynicism of life catch up to him. He has a quality that traditional Americans find refreshing, so when he recently left his radio jobs in Cincinnati and Richmond Virginia to fulfill a position in Detroit on 1270 AM people became concerned. Then they nearly panicked when they learned that CBS radio was moving around their programming schedules, and that they might not get to hear Doc on the radio yet again.
In reality the opposite is true. Doc Thompson is actually expanding—he’s about to go into syndication all over the nation which is a deal he has been working on for a long time. The website that announces his next big step can be seen at the link below along with affiliate information for radio stations who want to bring his unique brand of radio to their airwaves.
So don’t worry about not being able to hear Doc on the radio. The truth is that Doc will be available more often and to a much wider audience. So if you’d like to hear Doc and your local radio affiliate isn’t yet carrying him, send them an email asking them to become an affiliate. They’ll appreciate the tip since it will instantly help their ratings, and you will have helped your community by bringing a real treasure in Doc Thompson to their radio airwaves. Doc’s personal story reminds me a lot of the Howard Stern narrative shown in the movie Private Parts. Doc has a long history of taking chances and jumping from job to job until he found just the right producer and home to build his unique brand. But unlike Stern who became a household name by having women strip off their clothes on the air to shock audiences into listening, Doc does the opposite, he strips away the truth of Americas contemporary problems in ways that are equally enticing, shocking—but always in good taste.
When it comes to progressives and gun grabbing lunatics, nothing surprises me regarding what extremes change agents of personal liberty will embark upon to instigate their visions for human kind. It would appear that 20-year-old Adam Lanza had a disagreement with his mother who was a teacher causing him to shoot her in the face killing her, then proceeded to her classroom to kill his mother’s students. It would be an obvious assumption that Lanza was jealous of the students his mother taught, and was so enraged by them that he wanted to remove them from life. The result of this act of violence is 28 people dead, twenty who were little children.
But the swiftness that Obama, Eric Holder and the other progressive advocates jumped to the gun grabbing argument is oddly suspicious. Within hours emotionally charged, panic driven neurotics called out for the murder of the NRA President looking for a way to channel their helpless anger. CLICK BELOW to read more:
But………………I have learned not to take these stories at face value. There is more to this story, and gun legislation is always behind it. The timing of this latest tragic occurrence, on the back of other incidents that have not moved the hearts and minds of most Americans is deeply troubling. Alex Jones has a background in conspiracy theory, but his thoughts deserve recognition in the wake of this tragedy. The villains are still lingering in the shadows of our society. If they are not directly involved, as Alex suggests, they are guilty in that they have destroyed the American family through their policies, and weakened the back of America by robbing citizens of their inner valor. Remember the motto of the progressive, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” And sometimes, the crises must be created through any method possible.
The videos below are from Progress Ohio so it can be seen what kind of people are involved in that organization.
After the incident I communicated with Little through email, as I was just a bit enraged over the incident. Up to that point I hadn’t yet become the target of leftist progressive radicals, so they really didn’t know what to make of me in a conflict. I didn’t imagine that Little was just another “flower child” from the sun-baked 60’s generation, which is what he has turned out to be. (CLICK HERE TO SEE HIM.) I thought he was a young guy like Stec trying to make a name for himself with progressive politics. In that story, Little representing Progress Ohio did a “hit” piece on me that Michael Clark from the Cincinnati Enquirer tipped me off to, and I was thankful that he did. Back then, Clark and I got along fine, and fairly and he gave me the heads up to what Little was doing against me. Sadly, just a few years later when a similar “hit” piece was being assembled against me after the third levy defeat, Clark played the other side of the fence as many people warned me he would, so it wasn’t a big surprise, just a disappointment in such predictable human behavior. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW. However over the David Little incident, Clark came through which allowed me to answer the story right out of the gate.
Well, David Little has been back in West Chester politics as he was recently heading up a protest outside of John Boehner’s office urging the Speaker of the House to cut the industrial military complex that is “nation building” throughout the world in lieu of the upcoming “fiscal cliff.” Little at the protest argued that there would be more money for things like education, and public employees if the military industry in America were diminished to nothing and all the evil contractors would perish into joblessness. Here is the link to the Pulse Journal article from the reporter covering the story.
I don’t blame the Pulse Journal for not doing proper research into who David Little was. When Little came after me way back then that particular reporter was probably drawing in coloring books in grade school, as the reporter turn-over rate at the Pulse Journal is excessively high, and their editorial staff has been looking for lapdogs to act as public relations spokesman for Lakota and other community advocate groups. So the young reporter wouldn’t know the history of Little and his involvement in Lakota, or myself over the years.
Back when I first encountered Little I only argued that costs needed to be brought down in public education. Since then I have learned what groups like Progess Ohio and public education really have in mind for America, and I have been very vocal about it, which is why many of the reporters who used to speak to me on a regular basis no longer do, because everyone’s comfort level has been smashed when dealing with the actual facts of these stories. The Pulse Journal as a paper would never reveal how radical Progress Ohio is or their progressive philosophy of undermining The United States with mush minded ideas and pixy dust politics. But I have went on record calling Little and the groups he fronts for what I think of them, which of course leads to tension—which is my right to do since it was they who drew blood first.
It was cute to see 15 miscreants show up at Boehner’s office with David Little as the spokesman and argue for the dismantling of the military complex in America to pay for a debt that progressive politicians have intentionally driven up to cause the current financial crises in the first place. The debt is being driven by the old Cloward and Piven strategy of economic collapse to force “change” which is what this whole fiscal cliff idea really comes down to. The economic perils are part of an attack offensive driven by progressive politics and it is good to see that David Little is at the forefront of the movement.
It is sad that The Enquirer and the Pulse Journal did not report the activity of David Little for what it was, but subtly attempted to pile on the opposition against Boehner as the fiscal cliff nears with the opinion of a fossilized flower child and his progressive philosophy of destruction. But in these days of social media and changing roles, it is the citizen journalists who are tasked with the traditional roles of watchdog observation, as the current crop of reporters are in league with the masters of destruction implementing a plot of terror that is quietly lethal all because such positions are convenient.
But communism is not gone from the world—it has never left. It is alive and well today through the labor movement, through the Obama presidency, through any nation’s tendency toward big government. All that has changed with communism is that advocates have changed the names around to hide their true intentions. This makes it hard to identify who America’s friends are from their foes when the red flag of the U.S.S.R is removed from the face of communism and is replaced with Barack Obama’s smiling mug advocating progressivism. The threats to individual sovereignty is the same as it always has been, but the marketing of the ideas did change to appear less threatening, so that the idea of communism could spread all across the world—as was always the plan. And no place in America is communism more present than in the public education occupation—exclusively because education is controlled by massive government backed teacher unions who plan to teach our children on the merits of communism while forcing them to live under a rainbow-colored umbrella of communism in their everyday lives. The communists look and act like any other person in our general society—that is, until they open their mouths and begin to spew the long-held philosophic ideas of Karl Marx. The dead giveaway that a person is a communist is that they advocate high taxes for the “rich” and wealth redistribution for the “middle class.” For proof of this radicalism, look at the video produced by the California Teachers Union narrated by long time respected actor Ed Asner. What is being advocated in this video is communism. This is what our kids are learning in school with tax payer money off our property values. This is the result of a communist attack from within America that has proven far more dangerous, and sinister than even the Cuban Missile Crises was during the Kennedy years.
I know this video and the producers of it are communists in spite of their declaration that they are “progressives” because their beliefs have been tried before, most notably in the Russian Revolution in 1917 Petrograd—known today as St. Petersburg. For anyone wishing to learn more on this communism idea they should read We The Living by Ayn Rand, published in 1936 during the “Red Decade” here in America as a warning to those in The United States who were thinking of pushing communism during our own Great Depression. The book is widely available at any book store today as Ayn Rand books are flying off the shelves as people are going back and learning what she was trying to say during the first half of the American 20th Century. CLICK HERE TO READ MY REVIEW OF WE THE LIVING. Communists today fear Ayn Rand’s books, so they will ridicule anyone who attempts to read them. In Ayn Rand’s novels—particularly We The Living she shows how the process happens, and it begins by demonizing the “rich,” those who produce jobs and generate the wealth of a country. Communists wish to remove these “wealth producers” so that the government does not have any competition for that kind of activity. In a communist country government wishes to be the job creators by distributing the looted wealth collected from the masses, so they must eliminate those who actually make things. That is why they attack the “rich.”
The fundamental flaw that all communists suffer from is that they do not understand what makes wealth. They believe that money is finite, that it is not a renewable resource generated from the ideas in an individual’s head and implemented by the companies that they create. So communists attempt to steal the wealth that has so far been created, and then they sit on that looted wealth by redistributing it to the poor and middle class. Then they wonder why their economies failing, because the value for things goes down as the wealth leaves the country like water running through a screen door. Committees do not produce wealth, corporations do not produce wealth, and governments do not produce wealth. All those collectivist organizations can only “manage” the wealth created by individuals. America has had more wealth than any other nation because it has produced individuals who could think in such a fashion to manufacture wealth. If those individuals are looted by their government, the individuals will stop manufacturing wealth, and soon the nation will fail with devalued currency, and become a society of middle-class looters looking to government to send a check they can live on in the mail. When they don’t get it, they will protest—just like what is happening in Greece.
The California Teachers Union along with the rest of the public employees of that state are bankrupting it with their commitment to socialism/communism, and their mentality that was wonderfully evident in their video hosted by Ed Asner. Communists are certainly alive and well, and if you send your child to a public school, they are being taught by communists, as classically defined. Communists thrive in public education because there is no competition, so government has paved the way to spread communism into the minds of young Americans without any fear of competing ideas interfering. If parents don’t like their children being taught by communists at their local school, they don’t have much choice but to home school their children (as my wife and I did for a time) or send them to a private school. Sadly, it is time to stop kidding ourselves of the value of public education when it is now so obvious that public schools are teaching children the values of communism, instead of becoming productive capitalist in a thriving economy.
I know at the time you thought my statements were extreme, and a radical utterance from one of those crazy gun wielding right-wingers that lives down the road from your house. You didn’t listen because you shook hands with the president, played golf with the guy, and you thought you were in a better position than I to understand the character of the president.
However, I would say that you have found yourself seduced by an intoxicant that Obama spews from every pour when he engages people with voice and touch. You know you’ve received it when he places his hand on your back after a handshake to pat you like a dog for your loyalty. I’ve watched him do it to you, and I know you’ve been seduced by it, because I can see it in your eyes.
But John Boehner of West Chester, Ohio, you have to fight off that seduction by such a destructive human being. Obama is playing a dangerous game of conquest not with bows and arrows, tanks, or even armies, but one of peaceful ideology that corrupts the body of America the same way that the plague of Europe killed off a large part of that population before anybody knew they were sick. Obama is a sickness for America and I think you are beginning to see it.
With this sudden realization now that some history is behind my words, have a look at my letter again shown at the link above, and consider how much pain you could have saved if you had listened to what I said then. Think of the benefit to the economy, think of the lives that would have been enhanced, think of the power you have lost in just one year now that Obama has been re-elected. You better learn from the past and act properly in the future; otherwise you won’t have a House in Congress to be the leader of. You better start to fight America’s domestic enemies with the kind of ruthlessness that they use to attack, and come to grips with the actions they are conducting of which you are in a position to rebuke.
I thought the appointment of Richard Cordray was an impeachable offence, but a year later, Obama’s unconstitutional power grabs seem silly relative to the other crimes he has committed against the same Constitution you and he were sworn to protect. Obviously Obama is attacking the Constitution, and through your behavior, you are unintentionally complicit. I would advise that you get serious about this game and use the power you have been given to stop the progress of the kind of domestic enemies who wish to change our way of life at the expense of our own good-will. And I would also suggest that you do not ignore the warning signs from your constituents when they are given to you. It might save you tremendous headaches in the future.
I have a magician friend who gets very perturbed when members of the audience reveal to him during a show how the tricks he is doing on stage are preformed. He knows that for many of his magic tricks to work that the audience must suspend their logic and be willing to believe in hocus pocus before the onstage illusions can be accepted as reality. So it is with some insight that I see the same level of anger coming from progressives like Barack Obama and his merry band of federal thieves, radicals and despots when they wish the public to believe in their magic tricks on a stage of illusion that the national media lapdogs assist in creating for the public. Progressives wish the entire world to believe that Barack Obama was re-elected in November 2012 because America is a progressive left-leaning nation of “enlightened” souls. But the reality behind the trick is that Democrats bought audience suspension of belief with “gifts.” Obama bought the election by giving things away to labor unions—money stolen with taxes and given to powerful bloc voting groups—such as the new TSA union that we all have to deal with at airports now. More people are on food stamps than they ever have been, thanks to Obama’s socialist stance of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. But the most disgusting of all is the Obama Phones given out to residents of the inner cities—particularly Cleveland, Ohio where free phones and minutes were apparently given out to key voting blocs with the intention to purchase votes in the upcoming election—which worked. Some of these voting districts where Obama Phones were handed out didn’t cast one vote for Mitt Romney in the election giving Obama 100% of the turnout……….mysteriously. It is kind of like magic—right.
Well my ol’ buddy Doc Thompson is one of those irritating audience members who refuse to let a band of manipulative magicians scam the public unimpeded. He has sifted through the facts of this whole Obama Phone issue and had a little fun with it on his radio show in Detroit, Michigan. On Black Friday Doc was filling in for Glenn Beck with a broadcast footprint of over 10 million people and it is then that Doc played the very funny audio clip about Obama Phones shown below. Have a listen.
My wife and I were taking our oldest daughter out to lunch since she had to work Black Friday and I was still laughing while we were driving to the restaurant from that broadcast clip when Doc Thompson called me to wish my family a Happy Thanksgiving and wonderful Holiday Season. (to non-progressives that means CHRISTMAS) Doc had just finished up with the Glenn Beck Radio Show and took a minute to talk to me a bit off-air.
It sure was nice when Doc was in the Cincinnati market at a local radio station broadcasting his unique brand of radio program that is old-fashioned in many respects, but hard hitting like Howard Stern without the vulgarity. I felt privileged when he was in Cincinnati, and his vacancy is very much missed but Doc is working on a syndication deal that could put him all over The United States which would be great for America—but until that time it is a real treat to hear him covering for Glenn Beck from time to time—because not many radio hosts do the kind of hard hitting reporting that Doc does without losing their sense of humor. And that is what Doc is best at—no matter how serious the situation is—Doc Thompson finds a way to have a little fun with the material to dull the blunt impact of the grim reality.
Make no mistake about it however—Barack Obama’s election was not legitimate in regard that he won it straight up—without magic tricks. No, he bought the election with “GIFTS” and progressives might wish to conceal that information, but the facts are what they are. It is no different than when government school levies pass because parents believe that they are getting a free education for their child when in reality the money used in public education is money stolen from property owners who no longer have kids going to the school—then a portion of that money is given to powerful labor unions to elect Democratic politicians who then set the stage for progressive magic tricks that many of us are no longer believing. The Obama Phones are just the most recent example of how disgusting the political magicians have become and to what extent they are willing to lie and manipulate their way into power. With those kinds of diabolical social menaces in the world it is wonderful to know that Doc Thompson has the opportunity to take to the air waves and rattle the cages of these perpetrators of doom who try to hide their true intentions of wealth redistribution with the suspended belief in magic that allows them to commit the crimes. Doc Thompson isn’t having any of it, and he wasn’t shy in letting millions of people know about it. And during the Thanksgiving Season as my family sat down to give my daughter a nice Black Friday lunch—I realized that I am most thankful to know people like Doc Thompson and that the fight for truth carries on beyond the reach of the sinister manipulation designed by the Obama Phone giveaways.
In relation to the Hostess Labor Strike that I wrote about yesterday, the issue of public education must be painted against this backdrop. CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW. Public education is controlled by radical labor unions who teach our children aspects of life that many of us may not agree with—such as sexual education that leans in a promiscuous direction, anti-capitalistic labor practices, large government expansion, and of course destructive global sciences that are rooted in belief and not fact. These would not be so problematic if parents had an option as to where they could send their children, and if they did not like the school and what it taught their children, they had the option of taking their child to another school that was more in line with their family’s beliefs. However, the union labor agreements with government help has helped create a destructive progressive monopoly that resides in each and every neighborhood in America and it is with these monopolies that the single greatest threat to The United States resides—the attack on the minds of our youth to learn things that are not only detrimental to themselves, but our nation—as is in evidence by the results of the 2012 election.
Labor unions in public school maintain a government backed monopoly, and when education employees wish to increase their wages, all they must do is strike forcing school boards and federal mediators to come in and resolve the labor dispute. Parents do not have the option to pick their kids up and take them to another school that does not have striking employees, busing cuts, or pay-for-play extracurricular activities because government has backed the labor unions into maintaining an education monopoly—forcefully taking money from property ownership to fund the monopoly. The only recourse a parent has who is displeased with this arrangement is to pull their child out of their local public school and teach them at home. But the scam still impacts them as their tax money will still be stolen from their property value whether or not the parents enjoy the product of public education.
When teachers strike, parents have no choice but to accept the product and this is wrong. This government arrangement with public education ensures that the teaching profession will always be paid much higher than the tax payers who pay their salaries with benefits that are lavish and among the best of their kind. The working hours are extraordinarily easy, and the other benefits are excessively good—and are granted because education has maintained this monopoly status with the guns of the government at their back leaving some radical teachers to advocate political beliefs to our youth without fear of competing ideas to filter out the actual merit. Parents are told to put up and shut up, and to simply pay their taxes, otherwise their property will be seized.
I know my son-in-law cringes when he comes to my house and sees my political signs for president Mitt Romney, Ohio Supreme Court Sharon Kennedy, State Representative Margie Condit, and Senator Josh Mandel in preparation for the upcoming election. Since he has become a citizen of The United States he has moved politically toward libertarians in a quest for the kind of American freedom he always dreamed about. He cringes because to him the entire American complex of statism is a failure and is destined to be replaced with elements of anarchy or fall into an out-right empire one step away from collapse. In fact, he wrote a wonderful article on statism complete with 5 very important videos that can be seen at this link:
My son-in-law and I have had many hours of conversations about these issues and I know where he’s coming from. On the other hand, out of those four signs in my yard, I know two of those politicians personally, and they along with many of the media I also know in Cincinnati, business owners, and other politicians, are wondering if I have moved too far to the right and have become an extremist since most of my conversation these days are anti-communist history lessons, progressive bashing, and a determined desire to defund government at every level with severe tax decreases. Over the last three years they have watched me make very valid arguments that once uncovered have made me very angry. And being the kind of person who fixes things—which I have done my entire life from dishwashers to businesses, the evidence cannot be escaped—America is being crushed by statism and pretending that it isn’t a problem won’t make the problem go away.
Many of the people who know me best wonder how I went from a levy fighter of great respect to a radical right-winged extremist (in their view) to the author of the new novel Tail of the Dragon. The answer is that my new novel is my answer to the statism problem I discovered in those previous endeavors without going to the extreme example shown on my son-in-laws displayed videos by Stefan Basil Molyneux. I understand what Molyneux is proposing and why. But I also understand that his view is radically different from what mainstream Americans view as reality that they will simply reject the ideas as dangerous to protect themselves from responsibility of action. But Stefan is right about state run schools advocating terrorism, Stefan is right about taxation being the weapon of larger government for an end only onto itself. He’s also right about the free-range slavery. I know he’s right because I have seen the process up close and personal and can verify the truth.
My answer was to write the novel Tail of the Dragon using the character of Rick Stevens to serve as the vehicle to showing how statism crushes individuality. By having Stevens be the type of character who had grown into manhood without ever being emotionally, or physically broken at any point in his life, to show what the idea kind of man could or should be not only in America, but in the world, I needed a character and a story to hold the image valiantly. Stevens in the Tail of the Dragon is as close to a perfect man as I can imagine making it into his middle years after having children, maintaining a career, maintaining a marriage, paying a mortgage yet never giving up on his pursuit of individual freedom. For Stevens, he had a car which sat in his garage that served as a symbol of freedom from his youth, before taking on the obligations of all the above which are normal for most people. Rick Stevens knows that he is a member of society being deliberately farmed as a serf but he has maintained his resistance in as healthy a fashion as possible, so not go insane—or lose himself along the way.
The plot of Tail of the Dragon almost follows point for point without intending to the issues described in Stefan Molyneux’s videos, even to the point of Stevens being arrested for not joyfully participating in an elaborate tax scheme perpetuated through police traffic citations and being thrown in jail for it. While in jail he is abused in the way that Molyneux suggested, except that Rick fights back and gets himself into all sorts of trouble because he simply refuses to submit. This is what leads Rick Stevens to provoke and flee the law into what becomes the greatest car chase in story telling history
People are often shocked to learn that most of what Rick Stevens went through in the book I have seen firsthand, and is not the work of over-the-top fiction. The plot of Tail of the Dragon is not a commentary on anarchy even though Rick Stevens and his wife Renee openly, and quit audaciously break every law known to the legal system. But it is an attempt to show the reader through a likeable character in Rick Stevens what the world could look like if a person could break free of those chains of serfdom that Molyneux speaks about in his presentations. Rick Stevens is not happy to live as a free-range servant to statism and he seeks to do something about it“.
Additionally, what is different about Tail of the Dragon that sets it apart from other car chase epics in films like Smokey and the Bandit, The Dukes of Hazzard, or even Speed is that the hero has fans working behind the scenes in politics who want what he wants, they don’t wish to be a part of statism, even though they are the people who have helped build such a condition. Often, just like in real life, they find they are servants to a system that grew beyond their control and they do desire to do something about it. Most of the people I know in politics, and the media, are these kinds of people and fancy themselves as free thinkers even though in public they show something else completely. Even people I know in labor unions and on the opposite side of me in political issues are good people when spoken to one on one. Even my most diabolical rival, the superintendent at Lakota Karen Mantia and I had a nice discussion once about motorcycle riding and the island of Key West on more civil shores of political discourse. But what makes these people bad, or evil are the institutions they serve, the steps toward statism that they help build—most of the time without knowing it.
Tail of the Dragon is my answer to three years of needing to put into an artistic format these very difficult problems in a summary that fits contemporary life. If my desire is to fix the problem, I have realized that such a thing cannot be done conventionally, through political office, serving as yet other state lobbyists for specific causes, or even picking a political side and sticking with it indefinitely. The character of Rick Stevens in Tail of the Dragon does not turn his back on his country, as is the temptation regarding his anger over statism. Instead he takes the $20 million dollars he acquires and restores his old car, the symbol of his own private independence into a war machine against the state—against America—but he paints on the roof of his car the old Spirit of 76 flag from the American Revolution to make it clear that he is not giving up on the ideas that founded the freest nation on earth, but rather the mechanism that drove it toward an imperial tyrant headed for its own destruction through statism. His fight for freedom is the fight of every man, woman, and child in the world and it is through him that the reader touches the face of life without the chains imposed by statism upon their minds and bodies.
For me personally, even though I am a bit of a recluse these days not socializing much around town, lashing out at latté sipping prostitutes with real anger, my signs in my front yard are my own personal Spirit of 76 flags declaring that I am still willing to fight for the kind of ideas that built America, even if the system is flawed. I will support those politicians who favor the lowest possible taxes, since it is low taxes that directly fight statism. The minute those candidates support any taxes, they will become my mortal enemy, because in real life I want to see an end to statism and would prefer to bring it about legally even if the extraordinary fantasy shown in Tail of the Dragon attacked statism directly, and gallantly with a fanfare that is dynamic. It is no secret that the ambition in that novel comes from the heart of the author in a frustration observed with real eyes that watched more than one election produce results edging American more toward the abyss of cataclysm than ever produced success. But there is a romantic in me that keep hoping for success, and is manifest in the actions of Rick Stevens in the action packed novel, Tail of the Dragon. In real life, I will vote for people who I think will buy into my anxiety against statism today, or who I think might listen and become converted tomorrow.
The thinking that is required is not one fashioned from team sports, public education, or any other collective organization—because they all point toward a social disposition of statism. As radical as such a concept might appear, only a philosophy against statism will preserve America and serve as the beacon of light the world expects. That is why it is no longer important who thinks what, who belongs to what group, or what political affiliation anybody is. What matters is whether or not individuals are dedicated to freedom for the real sake of it, and not the contrived definition sold as modern serfdom. All that matters is that people get their minds around the necessity to think differently and it is my hope that Rick Stevens will help the pill go down a little bit easier so that the journey toward understanding can begin.
The face of nature and civilization in this our country is to a certain point a very sufficient literary field. But it will yield its secrets only to a really grasping imagination. . . . To write well and worthily of American things one need even more than elsewhere to be a master.
It is now obvious that the White House knew about the terrorist attack against the four Americans in Benghazi that claimed the life of Ambassador Chris Stevens, two former Navy Seals and a State Department official. The terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia took credit for the killings and the body mutilation of Sevens. In fact a drone and other reconnaissance aircraft observed the final hours of the fight. The White House knew two hours into the seven hour attack that American officials were under assault by terrorists which is deeply disconcerting considering The White House after seeing the evidence wished to deflect attention away from the idea of a terrorist assault that occurred on 9/11 2012 even though Sevens had even warned about the activity prior to the attack. Instead The White House insisted that the violence was instigated by an anti-Muslim American movie—but it didn’t work—The White House, apparently the CIA and many other manipulative federal agencies had been caught with their hands in the cookie jar attempting to create a “false flag” event. Watch the videos below for further clarification of who knew what and when they knew it. The situation is extremely serious and looks to make the Fast and Furious event look like a misdemeanor—which of course Obama invoked Executive Privilege to protect Eric Holder and himself from further implication. What has occurred under this Obama White House may well be the most corrupt and destructive since Al Capone ran his famous organized crime syndicate in Chicago during the Prohibition. The actions taken by many people just between the Fast and Furious scenario and now Benghazi deserve prison terms and possibly capital punishment. They are reprehensible actions and I am personally ashamed that these kinds of people are the face of my country.
The trouble with the Middle East, and all other places in the world is that America uses the CIA to manipulate governments, topple regimes, and pit factions against each other so that America can profit off the chaos. Any rational mind can see these activities in their simple local governments, and the situation is greatly magnified on the world stage where a lot of money and crony capitalism reigns supreme. The political left wishes to address the problem with socialism, with a feeling of fairness to eliminate such global terror that often follows America’s own Central Intelligence Administration. The political right looks to align themselves with the crony capitalists who hold the power of a particular regime.
America has made it a habit of using the CIA specifically to implement a thousand James Bond plots all over the world without the stereotypical villains and the beautiful women in casinos. But the manipulative plots conjured up to protect American interests are deplorable, and if used in a sporting event would be equivalent to cheating. The Obama White House has been caught doing what the Bush Administration has done, the Clinton Administration has done, the Reagan Administration has done, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnston, Kennedy, all the way down to World War I essentially—and that is to use clandestine activities to advance American interests while also maintaining the public ability to shake hands with those same countries at the table of The United Nations. It is the American participation in The United Nations that causes the need for back-stabbing actions by bringing into the equation politics showing the public a nice smiley face when in fact the various factions hate each other and want nothing to do with peace.
I would rather see all sides of an argument spit in each others face and go to war over their ideas than to shake hands in public and assassinate each other behind the cloak of secrecy. I would rather live in an America that out produces the rest of the world with laissez-faire capitalism than to use the CIA to get two sides fighting so that America can sell them both items made in America. I would rather win by truly being superior than by invoking manipulative schemes to topple our enemies from within their own cultures. If a president wanted to get rid of Kaddafi, I would have rather that president announce it clearly instead of using an Ambassador to funnel guns to the rebels who were actually connected to al-Qaeda and knew it—but also knew that the American people would never support such alliances, so the whole thing was done under the cloak of manipulation.
People seem to forget that Saddam Hussein was created to invoke war with Iran during the Reagan years to help stabilize the situation there to American advantage. And Osama bin-Laden was created to help Afghanistan fight against the Soviet Union. Currently the war in Afghanistan could be argued not to be about fighting the Taliban but in protecting the opium trade of which Afghanistan is the world’s largest producer. Have a look at the article below and the date:
Now look at the same paper reporting the situation 10 years later, and any mind with a brain can see that opium production has steadily increased each year since the 9/11 event in America.
Does this mean that President Bush started a war with Afghanistan to protect world-wide opium production? No. But his advisors who are not elected but appointed who clearly get their marching orders from political donors do have a vested interest in the billions of dollars produced by Afghan opium production. Those same donors give money to Obama, and both presidents have learned that even though they may publicly oppose drug use and opium production must turn a blind eye to the actions of their political contributors who need to maintain a façade of philanthropy while cashing in on the drug trade in Afghanistan, because the Taliban had tried to put a stop on the practice for spiritual reasons in 2001, just a few months before 9/11. Such a case is purely hypothetical, but none of it would surprise me. It can be seen how such tangled webs can snare so many good people to endorsing a reprehensible evil that nobody in the public wishes to acknowledge. So often, the CIA is sent in to fix up these loose ends and keep all the dirty business away from the public eyes, including Presidents of The United States.
There are a lot of Chris Stevens in the world who are killed and wiped from the earth with no eyes to witness. The attackers of Stevens knew there was blood on the hands of powerful people in America and they dared those powerful people to challenge them by maiming the body of Stevens in a deplorable manner. And just as they figured the guilty actions of all involved in the Benghazi debacle–the powerful people in America hid like cowards and attempted to blame a film maker for the violence that was started through area manipulation—that went wrong.
I am not against the aggressive protection of freedom throughout the world, the crushing of tyrannical despots, and authoritarian regimes. But I am against shaking hands with such people in the halls of the United Nations, then sending assassins to cut off their heads in the night so the blood is off the hands of public opinion. I would rather see America do such things in the light of day with full declaration of their bold intentions. It would be advisable going into the future for the power brokers who whisper into the ears of naive Presidents to stay out of the protection of illegal, reprehensible drug trafficking, the modern slavery of the sex trade, and a whole laundry list of financial despots who wish to rule the world not with a crown, or a kingdom, but with bank accounts that control politicians like mindless puppets to play the entire world—including America—as pawns in their vast schemes of power grabbing all in the name of philanthropy.
Such days of cloak and dagger games are ending because the world is shrinking, and such things can no longer be hidden. And in the future, such honesty is required so that courage can be truly awarded to those who are the best, and not the most sinister.
When studying the nature and evils of “collectivism” the ultimate question comes to mind inevitably—why. Why is it that collectivism is such a prevalent human trait that is the greatest threat to individual liberty? Why are there a large number of people who live in modern society who are attracted to political philosophies like socialism and communism? Why is it that some people believe that for their lives to be successful that it requires my participation in their life so they can feed off my effort just to live? This is without question the duality of modern America and the greatest challenge the human race faces in the 21st century. Some in America like me wish to be left free to achieve whatever our effort and imaginations can conceive while others wish simply to live from day-to-day in a collective pattern of herd mentality living and dying uneventfully with an eye always on the horizon toward some spectacular afterlife.
I would argue that such dramatic changes in philosophy come from minds that have lived in gray areas of their lives, and those shades of gray do allow unstable minds to alter their world-view. This is a prevalent trait in creative people, and creative people are often the ones who interpret history for the more logical businessmen and legislators of any age. So it is for this reason that I tend to trust only bodies of work, creative literature and serious science that predates the progressive era of Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and their love of European royalty. It is in just such a book that I went searching for an answer to this problem of modern and historical collectivism—and I think I’ve found it in the below quote.
“Among the Thompson Indians of British Columbia, when the men were on the war-path, the women performed dances at frequent intervals. These dances were believed to ensure the success of the expedition. The dancers flourished their knives, threw long sharp-pointed sticks forward, or drew sticks with hooked ends repeatedly backward and forward. Throwing the sticks forward was symbolic of piercing or warding off the enemy, and drawing them back was symbolic of drawing their own men from danger. The hook at the end of the stick was particularly well adapted to serve the purpose of a life-saving apparatus. The women always pointed their weapons towards the enemy’s country. They painted their faces red and sang as they danced, and they prayed to the weapons to preserve their husbands and help them to kill many foes.” Such is the statement provided after the exhaustive research that went into the great book The Golden Bough written by Sir James Frazer in 1890 under the chapter “Sympathetic Magic.”
As ridiculous as some might think that the behavior of the Thompson Indians were, all one needs to do to see modern examples of it today is to attend a sporting event. In any stadium where football is played, “sympathetic magic” is being used as fans wear clothing and practice rituals that they believe will help their team to victory. Some fans and even players will pray to God to help them attain victory. It is well-known that baseball players often will wear a particular pair of shoes or wear the unwashed socks from a previous “big game” in hopes that the magic of those past events will translate to success in a future, yet un-played game. The name “sympathetic magic” means that the ritual performed in whatever capacity will invoke success through some magical, unknown means, but that the belief that like, or “shared” things have power over fate permeates. Such as the fan who wears the jersey of their favorite player hoping in the back of their mind that such an action will help that player perform better on the field of battle. Fans of the modern age may think of themselves as being more educated and sophisticated than the Thompson Indians of British Columbia, but they aren’t in practice.
We see the same attempts at “sympathetic magic” with politics, and even the way tax money is spent. Teacher unions and their neurotic soccer mom supporters advocate that more money spent on a school will magically make the school better. They have direct evidence that such a thing can’t happen, and even history and logic speak against such a thought. Yet they insist to believe with all the naiveté of a fool that throwing money at a problem will solve it. Their scientific logic has all the merit of a child throwing a penny into a fountain and making a wish, which is “sympathetic magic” yet they adhere to such foolishness with great religious zeal—even violence to protect their desire to retain such beliefs against the face of reality.
To protect themselves against reality, people who have such feeble minds to construct their lives around “sympathetic magic” gather in groups just like the village people of primitive cultures in a shared belief that if they all focus their minds on the same idea using “sympathetic magic” that they can alter reality. This is the root cause of collectivism. This is actually the root cause of much evil in the world and was the warning of Nietzsche and Ayn Rand. It is also why collective orientated people hate those philosophers with religious fury, because the introduction of such a reality contaminates the “sympathetic magic” they are attempting to invoke among the Gods. Collectivism therefore is the mechanism that is holding human kind back into a continuous state of decay and regression whereas the American experiment of individualism produced explosive invention and dramatic wealth production. In America human beings for the first time in recorded human history could think and live without the imposition of having a ruler force upon the individual an insistence of scientific thought bound to the mechanisms of “sympathetic magic.” In America the first of the Übermenschs’ emerged as Nietzsche predicted and like all cultures the birth begins in art—in this case the minds of creative science, authors like Ayn Rand, and filmmakers like George Lucas who in his youth created Han Solo, even if in his older years philanthropy and being a billionaire with the added pressure of old age, created in his mind the hope for a little “sympathetic magic” to reach across the great unknown and hope that the Gods will smile upon his actions on earth. The old George Lucas insists that the young George Lucas always intended to have Han shoot second. But it is in such revisions that all manners of “sympathetic magic” are protected through historical revision so that the minds of collectivists can maintain their illusions in the face of a grim reality—that courses of history can only be altered through individual will by those who most honestly follow their own private bliss as solo participants in their own hero adventures divorced from any collective cause and downtrodden superstition.
