The Passion of Alex Jones: What fighting for America looks like

CNN is clearly using Piers Morgan to show how radical the pro Second Amendment crowd is by first inviting on Ted Nugent with predictable results, then Alex Jones to bait them into animated gun totting diatribes designed to demonstrate how dangerous Americans with guns are. But it is backfiring.  The political left for years has had more than their fair share of radical nutcases expressing their viewpoints and now they are trying to paint radicals on the right as “nutcases” as if they were above the ludicrous diatribes.  America is showing that they are just as accepting—even willing to throw their support behind such animated personalities.  Alex Jones as a radio show is very popular, but as an entertainer—it is evident that Alex is 100% committed to what he believes and taken at face value, he appears to be a certifiable nutcase conspiracy theorist.  But the trouble with Alex is not that he may be certifiably insane, as people like Piers Morgan are attempting to frame in the court of public opinion.  Quite the opposite, Alex Jones is suffering from being “too awake,” he’s too aware of the world around him and the level of deception that human beings are capable of—a trait that most of society gladly shuts their minds off to.  When Alex Jones was asked to come onto the Piers Morgan Show to defend the Second Amendment, Jones exploded with the kind of dialogue that is becoming more and more common place all through the Midwest.  The direction of the conversation appears to have created anxiety on the CNN set.

Jones is popular because he speaks to the kind of Americans that know something is terribly wrong at the very top.  They realize that they have been lied to, they question all authority, and trust nobody in politics.  The Alex Jones listeners, who are quite numerous, have accepted that there is no authority on Earth that can be trusted, and they instead put their faith in self-reliance.  So it is not difficult for those types of people to question the reality and motivations of those in authority.  They may get the details wrong—but they do not get wrong the tendency of human beings to impose their will on other human beings as the ultimate ego boost that is incredibly prevalent in politics and the money that puts politicians in power.  That money often comes from political activist billionaires like George Soros and others like him who have an intense desire to shape the Earth into a vision of their own thinking, and they do not care if they impose their will on the individual rights of others who are not billionaires.  It is they who do wish to supplant the American Constitution with a document more “progressive” so that they can gain the ability to have control of more people.

Saying such a thing about billionaires is a fact.   It’s not a conspiracy theory at all.  Those types of personalities are ruthless by their nature, which is how they came to be billionaires in the first place—in most cases.  Many of these same types once they have become extremely wealthy try to redeem the sins of their past with what they consider the “greater good” as they see it.  But their good might be a tyranny to people like Alex Jones and his listeners, and guns are desired to be removed from society to impose the will of the billionaire’s version of good without fear of open revolution like Alex Jones threatened to Morgan during their interview.  Most of the patsies in the media are simply hired to represent the views of ownership, so the war is not with just the leftist political ideology of progressivism advocated by the President Obama’s, Elizabeth Warrens, Governor Chris Christies, Hillary Clintons, and the Piers Morgans, but the money behind the scenes shaped by people like Ted Turner, George Soros, and Warren Buffett.

When Jones talks about the Bilderburger Group, and all the intertwined groups that serve the political interests of the very wealthy, he is noticeably fearful of their motives—which indicate sinister strategies against mankind.  I believe that Jones was harassed while in New York City by thugs of the financially powerful who fully intend to destroy American sovereignty and rebuild it in their own image.  When Jones became out-of-control during the CNN interview, I have no doubt that executives at CNN were on the phone with worry over what their bosses would think of the Jones/Morgan exchange because it backfired obviously.  Jones did look like a crazy, maniacal, gun totting, lunatic—but he represents people like me, and millions of other gun supporters who reside in the core of America.  I have said myself that I am ready for a new American Civil War.  In fact, I expect it to become a reality in the very near future.  I’m not going to give up any of my rights for the “greater good” as George Soros or anybody else sees it.

The growing realization that eventually people like Alex Jones will have to come to, that will come with time, is that there is nothing to fear from all those conspiracy makers.  Once Jones and his fans realize that they have just as much power to inflict pain on the Bilderburgers or any armed gunmen who might try to harass them outside of the CNN building before an interview, they will discover that they always had the power—and that conspiracies of any kind are simply designed to move the minds of mankind in a particular direction, whether or not there is any truth to the conspiracy.  The idea of a conspiracy direct or indirect is designed to strike fear in the minds of the recipients.  However, once people realize that they are just as capable of inflicting the same kind of violence that the conspiracy perpetrators are, there really isn’t anything to fear from them.  There is no reason to fear the gun carrying thug, the politician and their security details, “hit squads,” or just public relations specialists—they are all only human.  If the quality of mind of one side is superior to the other with all other things being equal, then the strong mind will always prevail.  Guns make the physical nature of conflict equal leaving only the minds to prevail over others—which is why the powerful wish to remove guns from society—because their minds are not superior to everyone else.  Being more fiscally ruthless does not equate to a quality mind.  The only way the extreme billionaire redemption addict looking to suppress the sins of their youth with philanthropy, is to control society by taking away the physical ability of equality—because the mind of those billionaire activists is not superior to their opponents.  That is what the gun control argument is all about—power and control.  Once that is realized, there is nothing to fear.  The conspiracy generators are just pathetically simple people who use money to overcome their mental weaknesses in a quest for power and ruthlessness that made them billionaires in the first place.

Alex Jones is not crazy, and neither is Ted Nugent.  They are passionate, and utter their anger that the world is not the honest one that they thought it was.  In that regard their ideas about the world has been shattered.  They wanted to believe that people on the other side of the political aisle were good—and they are outraged to find out that they aren’t.  And they fear losing that equality measure of their political enemies having guns and them not having equal weapons because they desire to be law bidding citizens.  Their political enemies are dirty and won’t follow any laws anyway, so the good people who follow Alex Jones will always be at a disadvantage to the radical extremists on the political left.  Their anger isn’t insanity, its fear at losing their equal footing with those who wish to control their lives–so the emotions do get out-of-hand.  If so many people weren’t asleep, they’d be angry too!  However, Alex Jones would sleep better at night if he realized that the reason behind his conspiracy theories of ultimate control of the human population are because our enemies have insufficient intellects that cannot deal squarely with the minds of those they wish to suppress.  They are not superior, and cannot control our society unless we surrender our ground and guns to them.  Now that the chips are on the table, the other side has been exposed, and their argument will fade off into eventual oblivion like clouds on a hot August day evaporating before our eyes.   There is nothing to fear from those people, because their actions are based on poor intellects and an abysmal understanding of reality which is a tendency that means they should fear us a lot more than we have need to fear them.

Alex Jones in that regard is not crazy, he’s simply passionate, and that makes him a good, healthy American doing his job.

Michelle Obama’s Email to Me: The lavish life of a wanna be queen

For some reason, Michelle Obama thinks I’m her friend.  She would be wrong.  Tonight she sent me this ridiculous email:

Friend —

Four years ago, during his first inauguration, Barack and I were thrilled when thousands of Americans from every corner of the country took part in the National Day of Service honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We were so excited because we knew that the celebrations weren’t just about a new president, but about everything that we can accomplish together. And that starts with service.

So this year, as we prepare for another celebration, we’re hoping to renew that spirit of service and citizenship — we’re calling on all Americans, including you, to volunteer in your community on Saturday, January 19th, for this year’s Day of Service.

Please join us, and commit to serve on January 19th.

Throughout our lives, Barack and I have seen that building a full life isn’t about what you can get for yourself — but what you can give to those around you. It’s a value that’s been central to our lives together. And as parents, it’s something we’re trying every day to pass down to our girls.

This inauguration is only possible because of you and all your hard work. Barack and I are so grateful for you, and for everything you’ve done for us and for our country.

Pledge to join us for the Day of Service at an event near you:

http://action.2013pic.org/Pledge-to-Serve

Thanks,

Michelle

P.S. — When you commit to serve, you’ll be automatically entered for the chance to come out to Washington, D.C. for Barack’s inauguration — flight and hotel covered.

Lady……………..I don’t serve anybody.  The only thing I’ll pledge is to throw you and your husband’s ass outta office.  Enjoy your party spent with the money stolen from the American people through the strong-arm tactics of the IRS.  The time is coming when the princes and princesses of The United States will learn that it is they who serve, not the other way around.  And Michelle…………..sweetheart………….if you’re in such a giving mood……………..why not give back the millions of tax payer dollars you’ve spent on family vacations.

“Good Cops” and “Bad Cops”: Becoming a Leathal Weapon for the freedom movement

Oh, it’s nice to get started on 2013. It’s wonderful to wake up in the morning and be free…………..

As the rest of the world is falling off the “fiscal cliff” I am feeling the freedom for the first time in many years to be able to fully speak my mind without being concerned about representing large numbers of people in my community. When I woke up one year ago on New Years Day 2012 Obama had just signed the NDAA Act, and I realized that things were going to get ugly, and the freedom movement needed to get down in the dirt and fight harder. So I was looking for a divorce—not from my wife of course–but from the people attached to me that wanted me to play “Good Cop” in the public debate against progressive radicalism. Nothing against those people connected to me but they had the wrong strategy against progressives. Instead, I saw the very real need to have a “Bad Cop” in the debate over public education and the many progressive intrusions on daily American life, and I wanted to be that “Bad Cop,” and I needed a separation from the old role to do it.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.

Being a “Bad Cop” is not the same as being a “bad guy.” But when dealing with people who have no understanding of their community imposition, of the tyranny of their collectivism, of their advocating gigantic government intrusions it is needed to have a “good cop” who will speak to the media and play the game the way progressives do, but there is a need for a “bad cop” to do all the things that the “good cop” can’t. Progressives have a lot of “Bad Cops” out there functioning fully, so the liberty movement deserves the same armament, and I wanted the role as far back as last year, primarily because the Lakota levy was gearing up for another try, and NDAA was signed into law.

The freedom I feel is similar to ending a job that one hates when you realize you don’t have to go to that particular building again and speak to all the people you didn’t like there. It’s like ending a relationship that was dysfunctional, but endured because of prior obligations. Once those obligations are fulfilled, you might be free to pursue another path leaving your mind free for the first time in a long time. For the last two or three years while representing many moderate personalities in Southwestern Ohio on issues raging from the Lakota levy attempts, to the Right-to-Work campaign in Ohio, to all the media contacts I had to maintain—I was constantly aware of what I said and to whom I said it. I had to be otherwise my ability to do radio interviews and get coverage in the newspapers and television would be limited as they tend not to cover radicals if they are on the political right—even though they do cover radicals on the political left. This left me always feeling like I was fighting a battle with my arms behind my back, and I was getting sick of it as 2012 dawned one year ago, only to see that government had a controversial new law that directly violated the Fifth Amendment, signed by the President on New Years Eve in the faraway land of Hawaii. Watching that progress it didn’t take long for me to realize that the liberty movement needed its own “bad cops” to counter all the goof-ball radicals advancing progressive causes at the expense of us all.

Now with 2013, I am free to act as I see fit without the burden of political correctness, which will be necessary to solve the problems that we are facing in America. I mean look at our dismal situation, a national debt of over $16 trillion dollars, a dysfunctional government, a communist president, radical teacher unions controlling the thoughts and lives of our children—and a whole slew of tax increases that will hit us all—at least those of us who already pay taxes. We are not in a good situation. Yes—I am looking forward to a very colorful year in 2013, one where I won’t hold back as much as I have in the past. Freedom feels good, it fills your lungs with copious amounts of fresh air, and lifts the spirit—and I am free to do what’s right without the restrictions of public sentiment. So to those who thought they had seen the worst—no, not even close. It’s time to shift gears and pick up some steam instead. It’s time for other people to play the “good cop” role, and its time for others to play the newly created “bad cop” role also. It is time to treat progressives as they have treated conservatives for years. The correct strategy with progressives is not with a pat on the ass and bribery whispered into their ears, but to treat them like dog shit that is found on the bottom of a worker’s boots. Starting in 2013, I have in my hand a scrapper ready to make sure the heel of my boots stay clean as I do my work. And it feels good!

Who’s Responsible for the “Fiscal Cliff”: Most likely, you are

As the nation prepares to plunge over the “fiscal cliff” of 2013 with $16.3 trillion dollars in debt, and the promise of increased taxes on every American tax payer—not the moochers—the roughly 50% who do not pay taxes, but the actual tax payers who have their incomes taxed because they are productive; the finger-pointing begins as to who is at fault.  Well dear reader, I will tell you who is at fault—and I’m happy to proclaim it as I have made my own internal arrangements to legally avoid my tax hikes.  I will not stand for being robbed by the idiots who caused this mess.  I will not work harder to slave for the bad decisions of the people who are at fault for the “fiscal cliff.”  America is not a “good for one, good for all” kind of place.  I am not “connected” to the fools of bad thought, and do not feel compelled to help those who are listed below with the mismanagement of their individual lives which has caused the current crises.

 

The people, who are at fault for the “fiscal cliff”— not necessarily in the order of importance, are those who are willing to pay for their food at McDonald’s with a credit card.  It is the congressman who would rather play golf with the president, than to do the job he was elected for.  It’s the President of the United States who believes more in socialism than capitalism.  It’s the woman who puts her career in front of her family leaving the children emotionally bankrupt.  It’s the father who would rather watch Monday Night Football at Hooters with his friends than to sit at a dinner table with his family.  It’s the woman who is on her third husband in a decade, and on the man who just left his wife of twenty years for a 23-year-old girl younger than his own daughters.  It’s the idiots who would rather spend their Friday evenings getting drunk than reading a book.  It’s the welfare mother who just gave birth to her fourth child in 6 years by all different men so she can qualify for more government assistance.  It’s the over-weight fool who has spent 35 years overeating to the point they can barely get up off a couch then expect someone else to cover their medical expenses as they are perpetually sick.  It’s the teacher who lies to themselves that they are in the teaching profession to care for children when in reality it’s really for the money and the shopping sprees it affords them.  It’s the lobbyist who would sell their country up the river in a heartbeat for a lap dance at Archibald’s on K-Street while their wives brag to their friends about what “great guys” their powerful—well connected husbands are.  It’s the woman who turns a blind eye to her husband’s indiscretions in trade for diamond ear-rings on Christmas.  It’s the woman who would rather work a job so she can get away from the pressure of being a mother then blame her child’s failures on a public school.  It’s the man who sent his son to college on an athletic scholarship so that the boy can have a shot at professional athletics.  It’s the gamblers who are still at the slot machines at a casino at 3:30 in the morning spending the last of their weekly paycheck waiting for the buffet to open for breakfast which they charge on a credit card because they’ve lost all their money.  It’s the news reporter who slanted their stories to fill an ideology they inherited during journalism school; instead of using what their critical mind tells them is right.  In short, the people most corrosive, most destructive, most diabolical and the most responsible for the “fiscal cliff” are those who blindly serve an institutional system in some fashion or another, and have strayed from individual responsibility.  They are commanded by their social weaknesses instead of commanding their daily lives.

 

There are of course many more types of people who are responsible for the “fiscal cliff” and the moral bankruptcy that America is now in.  But the above description paints the picture effectively.  My view of those types is that they created their own problems, and it is not my responsibility to save them from their own stupidity with extra tax money—which is what additional taxes are really going to fund—more of the above behavior.  The problem is, until the above issues are addressed, America will always have a debt problem because the root of the problem is greater than money.  It is a rot of the human soul that the fools above seek to fill with material possession which skews all the raw data needed to solve the actual “fiscal cliff.”  I realize that the best way to teach America the hard lesson it needs to straighten out the behavior above is to let them fall off the cliff, and to plummet to a painful crash.  Only then might they listen the next time we come near a “cliff” of any kind.  Maybe then they’ll listen when people of logic and reason tell them to be careful with their lives and treat every aspect of living as a precious moment worthy of great care.  Because the debts of our society are a lot of little things that add up to trillions of dollars and the people who created that debt do not deserve to be a part of “the land of the free, and the home of the brave.”  Such disreputable characters are not worthy of the honor to call themselves Americans when all they have done to contribute to the nation is debt.

 

Don’t ask me to pay for their bad behavior—because I won’t do it.  I realize that I just insulted most of the people reading this—but tough.  A thousand fools does not trump the brilliance of a creative individual who lives on the side of goodness.  Such is a problem of democracy and the demise of fools who seek to cover their folly by the good deeds of the few by force of the federal government and the armies of the destitute employed by their tyranny.

Doc Thompson Goes Nationwide: Stripping away more than cloths on the air for America’s benefit

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.

http://www.docthompson.net/

Out of all the Doc Thompson broadcasts I’ve used here at the OW, the most popular, is his radio bit called “The Answer is C,” which was hilarious radio while at the same time making his point about why our society is in so much trouble presently.  CLICK HERE to revisit that monumental broadcast. 

Doc often fills in for Glenn Beck’s radio show when needed, so a national audience has already had a taste of what Doc has to offer.  But it was after the Thanksgiving 2012 broadcast on the Glenn Beck Program that Doc really showed how important his unique radio style could be in a nation that has never been so divided without being in open war.  It is Doc’s ability to tackle very serious issues with genuine humor that sets him apart from everyone else.  CLICK HERE TO LISTEN to the entire broadcast from the Glenn Beck Show.

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.

How Much OEA Leadership Makes: The Fate of Public Education at the Oxford Tea Party

I’d like to thank the Oxford Tea Party for inviting me out to speak to them at their December 19th, 2012 meeting.  During my hour-long speech I gave them a summary of my experiences fighting the Lakota school levies over the years and my assessment of the state of public education today.  Regretfully I had to end my summation with the declaration that the Tea Party will never be popular and that it was their task to combat the many faces of evil which present themselves through political discourse.  I had hoped to avoid such a summary as left leaning extremists have made such terminology out-of-fashion, but there is no other explanation for groups of people who actively seek to exploit children.  It is clearly the exploitation of children that is going on in great abundance, and it is getting worse with each year that passes.  Politicians use children for political leverage, and greedy teacher unions use children to negotiate extraordinary salaries for themselves.  Under any definition such open exploitation is essentially evil even though such acts of manipulation are presented with smiling faces and doctorial degrees.  As I gave my speech, I was aware that members of the Talawanda school board and administration where present, so I tried to include them in the discussion with a level of understanding—and some sympathy.  But closing our eyes to evil does not make it go away and unfortunately, many people who work in and around education openly participate in the spread of evil from the corrupt hearts and minds of adults onto the innocent minds of our nations next generation.  You can see my complete speech here:

For context to my claims I present the evidence shown below from Media Trackers which provides the salaries of the Ohio Education Association members by their appropriate pecking order. The OEA is the large teacher union that is so active in progressive politics in Ohio.  Patricia Brooks for instance makes more money than Governor Kasich who only earns a bit over $140K per year.  This provokes the question as to–why?  Is the work that Patricia is doing along with her army of assistants that important?  Is it more important than the work of a state governor?  Is the president of the OEA more important than the governor of the state that the OEA functions within?  It would appear so if wages are the measure of worth—which they usually are.  $$

The only purpose of these employees is to strengthen the cause of a labor union that is committed to progressive politics.  These agents of the OEA are in my opinion sinister because they support progressive social platforms such as the destruction of the America family, the destruction of private property fulfilling global communist hopes, an erosion of self-reliance in children, revisionist history, ineffective education making the American population unequipped to properly think, and they do it at the expense of immature panic driven parents and their vulnerable children.  The names above are committed to maintaining an education monopoly over children and their parents that only succeeds in driving up labor costs purposely by destroying competition and guaranteeing that higher quality education can never emerge.  As I said in my speech, comparing the differences between Costco and Wal-Mart, there are no such competitive alternatives in public education.  Parents have no choice but the one controlled by a progressive labor union.  They have no choice but to give their money to progressive educators who will then pay their union dues to the people mentioned above, who will then funnel money to politicians who will further advance progressive—collectivist politics that directly attack the American Constitution.

I also stated in my speech how such evil can be conducted by good people who wish to believe that they are doing the right thing.  Many of the individual players in public education truly do have their hearts in the right place.  They sincerely want to help children, and want to make the world a better one.  But their fundamental thinking is flawed, making them carriers for evil—evil being anything that imposes itself on the individual sovereignty of other human beings.  Such an imposition is the forced participation in progressive activity.  For instance, property owners have no choice but to pay their taxes even if they think the schools are teaching children the wrong values, or are supporting politicians that are destructive to traditional American viewpoints.  Property owners are forced by government force to participate in this corrupt education system whether they agree with it or not under coercion and the rules were written by the kind of people who are on the above list.  Those members of the OEA are paid more than the governor of Ohio because the money is a bounty to keep their consciousness clean, and their loyalty secure to a cause that is not on the side of justice.  They are paid well to be blind to their actions, and live their lives as instruments of tyranny, coercion, ignorance, and of gradual national erosion of self-reliant identity.

As I said at the end of my speech to the noticeable huffing and puffing of the Talawanda administrators that public education as it stands today is finished.  It must be replaced with a more competitive national model such as School Choice, or other private instruction that will drive down educations costs, and increase the productivity making education better for the kids who need it.  The barrier to any proposed improvements in education are the names listed above, and the total of what all those names make from union dues paid by teachers from taxes collected from the property owners is $4,250,702.00.  Every Ohio property owner must contribute to those names whether or not they want to, or agree with the progressive viewpoints that those people represent.  That coercion is evil and the way those names use children to advocate their massive salaries are legalized theft—theft created through lobby power of weak-willed politicians.  Public education is built by a society of thieves who would otherwise rival the pirates who once plundered the Caribbean.  They are not good people who want to do well for America, Ohio, or the families who pay the taxes.  They want only to plunder the loot collected through taxation to provide extraordinary wages for themselves at the expense of the productive.

My feelings about public education deteriorated when I saw that my home district of Lakota had no desire to balance their budget the correct way, but instead after three elections chose to ignore the results with more intensified radical behavior.  When the levy supporters came after me personally for pointing out their faults, I saw the work of the names listed above, and I decided I wanted no part in their actions.  READ MY OPINION HERE.  That was my line in the sand and my abandoned of recognizing public education run by the government as a future consideration for teaching Americas youth.  Yet those who demand my participation in a government program I do not support, are conducting upon me an evil that is backed by coercion and force destined to be resolved in violent conflict.  And that action is not initiated by me, but by those who wish to impose their will upon others in order to supply the kind of wages for do-nothing occupational positions such as those of the OEA.

As usual, it is always wonderful to speak with people of similar belief, even if the words they use to describe those beliefs are less harsh.  I am no longer interested in negotiating with people from the other side, so my concern for their feelings is no longer a consideration.  But my visit to the Oxford Tea Party was wonderful.  They were a very nice group that are full of piss and vinegar and a hope that the future will be brighter than the vile darkness cast from the shadows by the typical progressive of present company.

Doc Thompson Fights for Detroit: Michigan becomes a Right-to-Work State

The biggest mistake that all organized labor advocates make is that they believe collective bargaining is a viable device for gaining wages, which it is not. From the employer’s point of view, wages are the way employers can motivate the best and brightest of their work force to excel, which ultimately sifts the bad workers from the good, the lazy from the ambitious.  In the game of football and other sports, there is a tryout process, and players that excel because of their skill and ambition are the ones who often end up making the most money.  Collective bargaining destroys this entire discovery endeavor.  It imposes upon the revenue generating entity an equal distribution of wages that all the employees do not deserve, because not all employees perform equally.  It is this very economic misconception that has destroyed the economy of Detroit, and is why the city is considering Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy protection after years of gradual decline.  The city was built by the car industry, and the unions killed the car making business in Detroit.  To understand why, just read Atlas Shrugged written in 1957 for the long answer.  Here is a USA Today article on the issue.

It was good to see my old friend Doc Thompson who is now doing radio in Detroit acting as he did when he was in Cincinnati and that is pointing out where the discrepancy is in perception between public sector unions and economic reality.  As Michigan has looked at Detroit and learned some hard lessons, they have come to realize that the best way to bring business back to the state is by passing right-to-work legislation as Indiana has, and Wisconsin.  As predicted the unions have taken to the streets in an all out assault to defend their legal rights to loot and pillage from the American tax payer.  Doc had some wonderful appearances on the Kudlow Report on CNBC talking about this very volatile issue.

 

When Doc was in Cincinnati as a radio personality he hosted a debate between factions involving Ohio’s Senate Bill 5 which was in essence an attempt to make public unions a right-to-work option, which of course the unions attacked heavily out of fear that if employees had the freedom to join a union without coercion, that most employees would elect to not pay the union dues—which is all the unions really care about.  The money they make off union dues gives them lobby power over politics.  Doc handled the radical crowd fairly.  CLICK HERE FOR A REVIEW.  I was a much bigger supporter of Senate Bill 5 than Doc was at the time because I saw it as a chance to take control of our local government politics away from public sector unions—which was essential to keeping taxes minimized.  But now that Doc is in Detroit, he can see clearly what the unions have done to that once great city, and he has stepped up to the front line to fight the parasite that the unions have made of themselves at the expense of South Michigan’s entire economy.

The villain of Detroit is the labor unions that are rooted in communism that is forced upon employers with “collective bargaining.”  Labor unions controlling management that are in the business of making goods like cars, cans of beer, and paper find that through “collective bargaining” the cost matrix of operating a business pushes up their labor costs way too much for a business to properly function, so the business locates to a state, or a country where they can control their labor costs.  Labor union’s answer to this trend is to spread communism to every corner of the world so that businesses have nowhere to go and thus no option but to pay employees through “collective bargaining” extraordinarily high wages that most of them do not deserve.  This is why public schools are failing, because bad teachers and good teachers all make the same amount of money no matter what they do, so failure is incentivized.  Businesses, like sports and other entertainment have survived under high organized labor costs because the public has so far supported the extraordinary mark-ups in the product to subsidize the collective bargaining impact.  But even those industries are about 10 years away from total collapse of their profit profiles.  Movie actors are paid too much as ticket prices at the box office have capped out, which will lead to a recession in the movie business.  And sports franchises are hitting the same cap, the public can’t afford in general to spend more than $200 for a football game so the profit matrixes for the NFL are about to hit a brick wall as well.  But that brick wall hit Detroit many years ago as companies like Toyota, and Honda have made better cars cheaper than the union wages of Detroit, leading to a collapse of that industry.

Michigan will be a right-to-work state, and Ohio will follow shortly thereafter.  They will become freedom to work states because the economy demands these actions.  Anything else leads to direct socialism, which will choke off the economy and send too many American citizens to welfare programs to survive, which will collapse the GDP of our nation, so there isn’t a choice.  The only fools who haven’t received the memo are the union workers who want to believe that pixy dust will save their hides from their own stupidity—and the Keynesian economics that politicians like Barack Obama subscribe to, which is destroying the economy of Europe presently, will have to be abandoned.  These are facts that cannot be ignored, even though all politicians who cozy up to organized labor practices “evasion” in denying the facts of economic reality.

No economy can flourish if the potential for profit from the job creators is taken away, and labor unions take away from management the tools designed to produce wealth.  Once a company loses its ability to manage their costs, and can no longer raise their price to off-set the labor costs, they have no choice but to file bankruptcy, or move their business to a more business friendly environment.  However, in the case of Detroit, the entire city cannot just pick up and move, it will simply fail, and become part of a long list of once thriving areas that prospered economically for a time, then failed under their own stupidity.  Detroit will join cities such as the Native American city of Cahokia, the mysterious, Teotihuacan, or Ankor Wat all which found their previous flourishing economic periods erode away due to droughts, disease, poor crop yields, or just political corruption which had the city of Chichen Itza on decline before the Spanish ever set foot on the Yucatan Peninsula.  Detroit is failing because it cannot manufacture goods to export, and people are abandoning the city because there are no jobs, and those jobs where ran out-of-town because of labor unions.  The economic failure is unlike those other ancient cities.  Detroit is a victim of self-imposed greed, and lack of proper economic understanding.  I feel honored to know Doc Thompson personally and see that he is still fighting for what’s right, even when it might otherwise be unpopular, or socially unfashionable.  The fix to Detroit’s problems, or America’s are not to glaze over the obvious economic facts of organized labor failures, but to fix the problem before one of America’s once great cities becomes only a distant memory.  Right-to-work cannot come soon enough for the poor state of Michigan.

David P. Little Protests at Boehner’s Office: Lap dog reporters get their bellies scratched

I always imagined that activist David P. Little from Progress Ohio who came after me personally a couple of years ago, looked a lot like Jeffery Stec who is currently parading all over the Lakota School District with Karen Mantia attempting to cushion the blow of their next tax increase attempt using their “Community Conversations” campaign.  Jeffery is a younger guy who worked on the streetcar issue in downtown Cincinnati—one of those progressive utopian projects designed by Agenda 21 to be a people mover once high taxes and excessive regulation nudge people back into the cities where authorities can have more control over populations and their behavior.  No, David P. Little is not what I imagined once I saw recent pictures of him.  2 years ago Darryl Parks and I exposed the progressive activist on 700 WLW after Little directly attacked my character calling me a “wealthy businessman” (sound familiar) among other things for my opposition to the Lakota School Levy.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW THAT EPISODE. 

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.

http://www.pulsejournal.com/news/news/group-rallies-outside-boehners-local-office/nTPZ3/

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.

Communism in Public Educaton: The California Teachers Union Video

Growing up at the end of the Cold War like I did, communism was a dirty word, and was a constant threat.  Many today think that the threat of communism went away after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which started in the early 60’s and was observed by intelligence officers as far back as the Cuban Missile Crises.  The Soviet Union was going to collapse, it was just a matter of time when.  They were collapsing because their political philosophy of communism destroyed ambition and productivity, leaving all of Russia and the gigantic land mass of China to turn those countries into the economies of the third world.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO.  Communism is an evil political philosophy because it demands national collectivism to work, which requires individual support—violating personal sovereignty.  Communism cannot work without destroying individuality, and in the process, destroying the kind of ambition that manufactures productivity.

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.

If you are an older person and can remember the Cold War, you should withdrawal your support from your public school any way possible.  If you send them your money, you are helping spread the communist message to our next generations.  CLICK HERE FOR PROOF THAT THE KGB INFILTRATED PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE 1960’s AND NEVER LEFT.  Younger parents, who did not grow up in such a time, won’t know what is going on because they are still too immature to see history playing out before their eyes, and they will not understand.  But for those of us who do, communists have to be removed from public education, and the best way to do that is to starve them out of their hiding places.  For more proof of this communist plot in all public schools, CLICK HERE, watch the video there before assuming that I’m pulling your leg.  Because I’m not, sorry to say.

A Lesson on Government from George Lang: how things are supposed to work

Below is an example of how local government is supposed to work—at least as a sample of the type of debate that should transpire between the participants.  This is true no matter what kind of government is presented, whether it is a school board, a group of trustees for a township which is the example below, or a city council—the elected representatives are supposed to argue and hash out issues with passionate narrative in order to arrive at a proper conclusion.  In the example provided, West Chester Trustee George Lang argues against the proposal of trustee Cathy Stoker, and Lee Wong who are voting in favor of a contract renewal with the Fraternal Order of Police that has very lucrative benefits included.  Many of the employees being discussed make very close to six figures a year.  CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW MUCH AND WHO THEY ARE (there’s over 80 comments on that link that are very entertaining).  So the employees are already well compensated, and this new contract more than insures more of the same behavior, which Lang argues West Chester may find balancing a budget will be difficult in the coming years.  Watch for yourself:

George Lang was outvoted 2 to 1, but he still went to the trouble to make the public argument for the good of West Chester, and this is why it’s important to vote in favor of more representatives like Lang at election time.  In West Chester, Cathy and Lee’s seats are coming up for re-election, so there is a chance for West Chester to vote big spenders like those two trustees out of office in favor of managers who will behave more like George Lang.

The trend in most political organizations such as school boards, trustees and city councils is to try to achieve group consensus and this is where politics fails.  When the members of the governing body are more concerned about winning a popularity contest, or being accepted by the other governing members, the chance for spirited debate is effectively squashed, and does not happen very often.  In Lang’s situation of course his position will not make him popular with the public sector unions, but he is not concerned about those kinds of things—he is trying to manage the impact of the contracts cost against the ability of the tax payers of West Chester to pay the bill without tax increases, which is how the process is supposed to work.

Ultimately the video above reveals a much more sinister evil that is at the heart of every government deal involving any public sector union, and illustrates why school boards and other management organizations lose control of their costs—third-party arbitration.  In the video Cathy Stoker discusses that if the contract is not accepted by the trustees that a third-party will be called in to resolve the dispute and force the hand of the trustees against their will.  This third-party arbitration is exactly why school boards do not have the stomachs to fight teacher unions to manage their costs, because the union will force the dispute into arbitration and trump the elected school board.  School boards don’t want to be trumped, so they go along with whatever teacher unions’ support to avoid the third-party embarrassment.

The same threat is present when involving fire fighter unions, and police unions.  In West Chester, Cathy Stoker showed in the video that she is very concerned about third-party arbitration forcing upon them costs that exceed the contract they are agreeing to, while George Lang suggests that the trustees should force the issue into arbitration and fight it out in an effort to save the costs against the tax payers of West Chester.  Lang knows that if they lose their arbitration hearing, he would then have the leverage in the media to blame the arbitration process for the high taxes imposed by the third-party.  So he is willing to roll the dice, whereas Stocker and Wong aren’t.  But at least the debate happened and all three trustees didn’t mindlessly accept the contract without spirited discussion.

When electing these kinds of politicians it is more beneficial to elect fighters instead of people who will just lie down and say “uncle” in the face of third-party arbitration.  It is this threat that drives up the cost of all these public sector workers with teachers, fire fighters, and police departments.  Public sector unions should be illegal, and third-party arbitration by un-elected officials should also be illegal.  The laws that protect this system are a travesty against the tax payers.  But thank God not all politicians are mindless “yes men” who just go through the political motions so they can have the social popularity of a name-plate upon their desks.  Some politicians like George Lang actually try to manage the costs that impact his community, which is what he was elected to do.

For those reading this who are my community neighbors thinking of running for an office there are three school board seats coming up at Lakota, two seats coming up for the West Chester Trustees, and Liberty Twp has some seats coming up, it would be advisable for you to run for one of those seats.  If you need help getting in touch with people who can help with money to run for office, then feel free to contact me, and I’ll put you in touch with those who can help with your campaigns—because I’d like to see more people like George Lang in these local positions fighting on behalf of the tax payers in the years to come.  That is the key to solving many of our future problems circulating around sustaining community growth and maintaining a positive economic future, electing politicians locally who will actually do the job as well as George Lang does.

On the other side, an example of how the job is done poorly can be seen in the video below.

See the difference?  No wonder Detroit is broke and looks the way it does.
