The Pronoun “I”: Communist infiltration of America by Perestroika Deception

This may be the most important document that you’ll ever read and contains some of the most potent videos you’ll ever see.  Give yourself time with this topic and brace yourself.  If you do the research properly and let the evidence take you to the ultimate conclusion eventually the road runs out.  Eventually, you will discover what was always hidden right in front of all our faces—a realization that is so troubling, and sinister, that nobody will want to believe it.  But it’s true, and dear reader, what I’m about to tell you will bring great harm to your mind and make your sleep difficult.   If you care even a little bit about the matters of the world around you, what you will read in the oncoming paragraphs will invite demons into your dreams to haunt you for eternity.  The demons however where always there—but you will now be aware of them.

I was there in the final days of the Reagan Presidency and saw the Berlin Wall coming down.  I watched the Sean Connery interview where he declared that Gorbachev “is the man of the 20th Century,” while the country was coming apart at the seams promoting his film The Russia House. In that same interview he spoke about his first visit to the country during a movie 21 years earlier called The Red Tent that he stared in where he said, the Soviet Union seemed impregnable.  “It was just so potent, with this enormous army, and you felt if they were going to do something they’d do it.  And nobody’d do it better.”  Then suddenly without warning Gorbachaev seemed to be leaning toward peace and “democracy.”  The Soviet Union surprisingly “tapped out” on the mat and begin to embrace western ways letting film crews like Connery’s come to the country to film in Moscow—behind the Iron Curtain.   Something about all that never seemed right to me…………………it was mysteriously odd to be so concerned about the Soviet Union for all of my childhood and suddenly they were our friends welcoming the West into their culture and breaking their nation into small republics all seeking United Nations membership.

The more research I have done into education funding, origins of labor unions, and global socialism all these paths have led to a glaring fact that has now touched the lives of virtually every human being on planet earth.  The intentions of the communists in the Soviet Union—which can be seen in all their glory in the magnificent novel, We The Living by Ayn Rand have come to fruition with a strategy invoked in a method only collectivists could utilize—people not concerned with the pronoun “I” but with collective salvation that would take over a century to fulfill, global world-wide communism. That was always the stated goal of the Soviet Union and they had President Franklin Roosevelt’s ear reaching an agreement with him on November 15, 1933.

Almost immediately upon taking office, President Roosevelt moved to establish formal diplomatic relations between the United States and the Soviet Union. His reasons for doing so were complex, but the decision was based on several primary factors. Roosevelt hoped that recognition of the Soviet Union would serve U.S. strategic interests by limiting Japanese expansionism into Asia, and he believed that full diplomatic recognition would serve American commercial interests in the Soviet Union, a matter of some concern to an Administration grappling with the effects of the Great Depression. Finally, the United States was the only major power that continued to withhold official diplomatic recognition from the Soviet Union.  It also helped that Roosevelt was from the same family as former President Teddy Roosevelt who helped create the Progressive Party in the United States and were trying to do with less violence what the Bolshevik’s had done in Russia overthrowing the Tsarist regime.  Being a Democrat, the Soviet Union was not all that different from progressive stated social progress goals, prompting Roosevelt to introduce Social Security and other government safety net programs into American politics so to take the edge off communist pressure during the Red Decade—the 1930s.  Communists and Democrats were not that dissimilar.  The big difference was that the Soviet Union was participating in major social purges where the United States at that time wouldn’t consider such things.

President Roosevelt decided to approach the Soviets in October 1933 through two personal intermediaries: Henry Morgenthau (then head of the Farm Credit Administration and Acting Secretary of the Treasury) and William C. Bullitt (a former diplomat who, as a Special Assistant to the Secretary of State, was informally serving as one of Roosevelt’s chief foreign policy advisers). The two approached Boris Shvirsky, the Soviet Union’s unofficial representative in Washington, with an unsigned letter from Roosevelt to the Soviet Union’s official head of state, Chairman of the Central Executive Committee, Mikhail Kalinin. The letter intimated that the U.S. Government would be willing to negotiate the terms for recognizing the Soviet Union, and requested that Kalinin dispatch an emissary to Washington. In response, Commissar for Foreign Affairs Litvinov journeyed to Washington in November 1933 in order to begin talks.

Initially, the talks made little headway due to several outstanding issues: the unpaid debt owed by the Soviet Union to the United States, the restriction of religious freedoms and legal rights of U.S. citizens living in the Soviet Union, and Soviet involvement in Communist subversion and propaganda within the United States. Following a series of one-on-one negotiations known as the “Roosevelt-Litvinov Conversations,” however, Litvinov and the President worked out a “gentleman’s agreement” on November 15, 1933, that overcame the major obstacles blocking recognition.

According to the terms of the Roosevelt-Litvinov agreements, the Soviets pledged to participate in future talks to settle their outstanding financial debt to the United States. Four days earlier, after another private meeting with Litvinov, Roosevelt also managed to secure guarantees that the Soviet Government would refrain from interfering in American domestic affairs (i.e. aiding the American Communist Party), and would grant certain religious and legal rights for U.S. citizens living in the Soviet Union. Following the conclusion of these agreements, President Roosevelt appointed William C. Bullitt as the first U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union.

Unfortunately, the cooperative spirit embodied in the Roosevelt-Litvinov agreements proved to be short-lived. Shortly after his arrival in Moscow in December 1933, Bullitt became disillusioned with the Soviets as an agreement on the issue of debt repayment failed to materialize. Moreover, evidence emerged that the Soviet Government had violated its pledge not to interfere in American domestic affairs. Finally, the killing of the Leningrad Communist Party boss, Sergey Kirov, launched the first of the “Great Purges” that led to the death or imprisonment of millions of Soviet citizens as the Stalinist regime liquidated any potential critics of the government. The wide scope and public nature of the purges horrified both American diplomatic personnel stationed in the Soviet Union, and the world at large.  The Soviet Union proceeded to pursue an all out infiltration of American politics at virtually every level using KGB agents to set the stage for the counter-culture movements in Europe and The United States by infiltrating the colleges in both areas and slowly breeding communist sympathizers.  Again the details are spelled out explicitly in We The Living.  In 1979 when America created the Department of Education, the internal goal was to usher in communism to every child in America one mind at a time.  Between 1908 and 1975 130 bills were introduced to congress to create The Department of Education. They all failed–every one of them.  So why suddenly did the 1979 bill succeed, it is because, it was created by communist infiltrators into the American government by sympathizers to the communist cause on the heels of the Cuban Missile Crises, and Kennedy assassination.  These infiltrators worked through the labor unions, specifically the National Education Association.  The validity of this claim can be confirmed by Charlotte Iserbyt, who was the Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement, and The U.S. Department of Education.  She reported directly to Ronald Reagan who used his acting skills to help make America feel good about itself while the Cold War tore at the internal workings of government in full knowledge by him.  He fired Iserbyt when she started leaking what she discovered about the communist plot within The Department of Education.  Meanwhile Reagan who had sympathized with communists in the past, had been a leading member of United World Federalists, and a charter member of Americans for Democratic Action and tried to win the Cold War with the Soviet Union with lessons he learned from GE when he was a spokesman for them in the 60s.  Reagan turned to advertising propaganda, and charm.  Reagan outspent Soviet Russia into oblivion forcing the Soviet Union to collapse economically.  But ideologically they had already penetrated all their targets fulfilling many of their 45 planks of communism outlined in the book The Naked Communist outlined extensively here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.  Communism had infiltrated the colleges, the public schools, the media, the movie industry, the Democratic Party, large parts of the Republican Party and now that the Soviets were pretending to break up and collapse, new members of the United Nations were being admitted so to gain voting power and fulfill another communist plank, infiltration of the United Nations, which was created ironically by Franklin Roosevelt.  This new, less obvious strategy was called The Perestroika Deception.

Anatoliy Mikhaylovich Golitsyn CBE (Russian: Анатолий Михайлович Голицын; born August 25, 1926) was a Soviet KGB defector and author of two books about the long-term deception strategy of the KGB leadership which was intended to be implemented during this period of the early 1990s.  He was born in Piryatin, Ukrainian SSR and provided “a wide range of intelligence to the CIA on the operations of most of the ‘Lines’ (departments) at the Helsinki and other residencies, as well as KGB methods of recruiting and running agents.”[1] He is an Honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire(CBE) and, as late as 1984, was an American citizen.[2]

He has been the repeated target of KGB assassination attempts.  Current President of Russia, Vladimir Putin was a 16 year officer in the KGB holding a rank of Lieutenant Colonel before retiring in 1991, about the same time as The Perestroika Deception was set to take place and go underground.  The movie mentioned regarding Sean Connery, The Russia House was the first film to be allowed into Russia and filmed in Moscow and St. Petersburg.  For those not proficient at geography, St. Petersburg is Petrograd in the Ayn Rand novel referred.   St. Petersburg was renamed to the current which had been changed in 1914 to Petrograd in 1991.  Remember that date.  The novel The Russia House was written by John le Carre, otherwise known as David John Moore Cornwell who was a former intelligence officer for MI5 and MI6 in Great Britain.  The KGB was well aware of what The Russia House could mean to their plot to begin The Perestroika Deception and implementing an overall strategy by a popular actor from Europe in Sean Connery, a beautiful American actress in Michelle Pfeiffer—playing a Russian woman, and a platform to announce to the world how Russia is a good country who suddenly wanted peace.  The project of course was funneled through the SAG union in California from the Communist Party USA advocating the novel on the fast track for film studio production.  No studio in America would pass up the opportunity to be the first American film shot behind the Iron Curtain.  But what many of them didn’t know was that they were all pawns in The Perestroika Deception.

Anatoliy Mikhaylovich Golitsyn  wrote a book called The Perestroika Deception which was published in 1995 and claimed:

  • “The [Soviet] strategists are concealing the secret coordination that exists and will continue between Moscow and the ‘nationalist’ leaders of [the] ‘independent’ republics.”
  • “The power of the KGB remains as great as ever… Talk of cosmetic changes in the KGB and its supervision is deliberately publicized to support the myth of ‘democratization’ of the Soviet political system.”
  • “Scratch these new, instant Soviet ‘democrats,’ ‘anti-Communists,’ and ‘nationalists’ who have sprouted out of nowhere, and underneath will be found secret Party members or KGB agents.”

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoliy_Golitsyn

In his previous book, Perestroika: New Thinking for Our Country and the World, Golitsyn said President Gorbachev stated outright, “Perestroika is closely connected with socialism as a system.”[7]  Answering those asking, “Are we giving up socialism?” Gorbachev replied, “Every part of our program of perestroika…is fully based on the principles of more socialism….”[8]  Gorbachev has even been as blunt as calling perestroika a “continuation of the October Revolution.”

The “perestroika deception” worked like a charm.  American leaders were all too eager to pronounce the end of the Cold War.  Then President George H. W. Bush declared, “We live in a time when we are witnessing the end of an idea — the final chapter of the Communist experiment.”[9]  President Bush went on to spearhead a guns-to-butter policy resulting from this “peace dividend,” culminating in a massive diversion of military spending to social programs.  From 1989-2004, military spending as a percent of GDP dropped from 6.2 percent to a scant 2.9 percent.  Over the same period, entitlement spending went from 28 percent of federal outlays to nearly 40 percent. 

US military cuts have been so drastic that former Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger has said, “The simple reality today is that we cannot fight two MRC’s [Major Regional Contingencies] more or less simultaneously.”

Now fast forward to this current time of 2014 where within one week America and Great Britain announced major cuts to the military and their world-wide occupation of far away countries, the libertarian push to put up walls to the world and live and let die other nations, and the Russians attacking Ukraine for its involvement in attempting to join the European Union by rebelling against the Russian puppet president of Ukraine.  The people desperately want freedom from Russia as one of those false Republics which were supposedly set up to preserve “democracy.”  But they’ve had too much taste of freedom, and now want the real thing—and Russia doesn’t like it.

I received a note the other day from George Soros advising me that now was the time to invest in the Ukraine—as he has all along been involved in planting the seeds of discontent in that country, as he has been doing all over the world on behalf of his progressive sponsored groups, directly connected to Socialist International so that the economy of Ukraine will collapse.  Up until a few days ago when Ukraine reached out for international financial help, their currency slid 18% just in February of 2014.  As all investors know, such devaluations are ripe pickings for quick returns on investments because they are driven by market turbulence.  So people like Soros are often found playing two sides against each other to provoke such devaluations.  The same thing that has happened to Ukraine is currently underway in The United States.  If you will read the letter from Soros below dear reader you will see that George began his involvement in Ukraine in 1990, the same year that The Russia House was released, and one year before Vladimir Putin supposedly retired from the KGB and decided to run for political office eventually making a fool of Barack Obama and the rest of America at every turn as the world does not yet want to admit that they have all been deceived by the “perestroika deception.

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

George writes persuasively about the need for Europe to reach out to assist Ukraine and at the same time not alienate Russia. See his Op-Ed in The Guardian and in German in Süddeutsche.

All best,

Sustaining Ukraine’s Breakthrough

By George Soros

Following a crescendo of terrifying violence, the Ukrainian uprising has had a surprisingly positive outcome. Contrary to all rational expectations, a group of citizens armed with not much more than sticks and shields made of cardboard boxes and metal garbage-can lids overwhelmed a police force firing live ammunition. There were many casualties, but the citizens prevailed. This was one of those historic moments that leave a lasting imprint on a society’s collective memory.

How could such a thing happen? Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics offers a fitting metaphor. According to Heisenberg, subatomic phenomena can manifest themselves as particles or waves; similarly, human beings may alternate between behaving as individual particles or as components of a larger wave. In other words, the unpredictability of historical events like those in Ukraine has to do with an element of uncertainty in human identity.

People’s identity is made up of individual elements and elements of larger units to which they belong, and peoples’ impact on reality depends on which elements dominate their behavior. When civilians launched a suicidal attack on an armed force in Kyiv on February 20, their sense of representing “the nation” far outweighed their concern with their individual mortality. The result was to swing a deeply divided society from the verge of civil war to an unprecedented sense of unity.

Whether that unity endures will depend on how Europe responds. Ukrainians have demonstrated their allegiance to a European Union that is itself hopelessly divided, with the euro crisis pitting creditor and debtor countries against one another. That is why the EU was hopelessly outmaneuvered by Russia in the negotiations with Ukraine over an Association Agreement.

True to form, the EU under German leadership offered far too little and demanded far too much from Ukraine. Now, after the Ukrainian people’s commitment to closer ties with Europe fueled a successful popular insurrection, the EU, along with the International Monetary Fund, is putting together a multibillion-dollar rescue package to save the country from financial collapse. But that will not be sufficient to sustain the national unity that Ukraine will need in the coming years.

I established the Renaissance Foundation in Ukraine in 1990 – before the country achieved independence. The foundation did not participate in the recent uprising, but it did serve as a defender of those targeted by official repression. The foundation is now ready to support Ukrainians’ strongly felt desire to establish resilient democratic institutions (above all, an independent and professional judiciary). But Ukraine will need outside assistance that only the EU can provide: management expertise and access to markets.

In the remarkable transformation of Central Europe’s economies in the 1990’s, management expertise and market access resulted from massive investments by German and other EU-based companies, which integrated local producers into their global value chains. Ukraine, with its high-quality human capital and diversified economy, is a potentially attractive investment destination. But realizing this potential requires improving the business climate across the economy as a whole and within individual sectors – particularly by addressing the endemic corruption and weak rule of law that are deterring foreign and domestic investors alike.

In addition to encouraging foreign direct investment, the EU could provide support to train local companies’ managers and help them develop their business strategies, with service providers remunerated by equity stakes or profit-sharing. An effective way to roll out such support to a large number of companies would be to combine it with credit lines provided by commercial banks. To encourage participation, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) could invest in companies alongside foreign and local investors, as it did in Central Europe.

Ukraine would thus open its domestic market to goods manufactured or assembled by European companies’ wholly- or partly-owned subsidiaries, while the EU would increase market access for Ukrainian companies and help them integrate into global markets.

I hope and trust that Europe under German leadership will rise to the occasion. I have been arguing for several years that Germany should accept the responsibilities and liabilities of its dominant position in Europe. Today, Ukraine needs a modern-day equivalent of the Marshall Plan, by which the United States helped to reconstruct Europe after World War II. Germany ought to play the same role today as the US did then.

I must, however, end with a word of caution. The Marshall Plan did not include the Soviet bloc, thereby reinforcing the Cold War division of Europe. A replay of the Cold War would cause immense damage to both Russia and Europe, and most of all to Ukraine, which is situated between them. Ukraine depends on Russian gas, and it needs access to European markets for its products; it must have good relations with both sides.

Here, too, Germany should take the lead. Chancellor Angela Merkel must reach out to President Vladimir Putin to ensure that Russia is a partner, not an opponent, in the Ukrainian renaissance.

Do you see the source of the trouble here dear reader?  Do you see what’s happened?  Ukraine is representative of all of us the world over.  They are caught between Russia and its dedicated allegiance to worldwide communism declared to President Roosevelt in 1933 when he sought peace with them before war broke out.  The European Union is built on socialism.  The Soviet Union, the European Union, the Screen Actors Guild Union, the National Education Association Union, the National Auto Workers Union, EVERY UNION is involved in this god damn communist plot, and if you support a labor union you have been helping the “perestroika deception” a KGB strategy to spread communism to every corner of the world and rule as a one world government.  Out of all the countries in the world that George Soros could have involved himself with, why did he establish the Renaissance Foundation in Ukraine in 1990?  Because Soros knew about the perestroika deception.  That’s why he funds the Open Society Foundations.  Ukraine does not have a choice between American capitalism, or Ayn Rand’s Objectivism.  They are not being offered anything close to an American Constitution—they are offered an alliance between one communist union and one socialist union and freedom isn’t even in the cards.  That same fate is intended for us, made more complicated because of the free nature of America, and the amount of money and invention which has been generated on a relatively small land mass, compared to the communist work of a massive Russian nation and the still very communist China.  China has kept Hong Kong a capitalist sector so not to disturb the markets that have been generated there, which communist China now enjoys instead of Great Britain, but that is simply a hook in the water to snag up Western investment while these communist forces disguised as progressives seek to destroy the American currency—forcing America into a North American Union which will ultimately be controlled by communists already in place, especially in Mexico, Central America, and South America—specifically Venezuela and Brazil.

The situation is actually far worse than even the most controversial radio talk show host has sputtered about.  The “perestroika deception” is more sinister than Glenn Beck or even Alex Jones has suggested.  The attack has been more flagrant than anything Ted Nugent has uttered, or Rush Limbaugh has espoused.  All those characters have talked around the problem to the results without really getting to the bottom line of what the root cause is for all these things.  I have made a good living identifying problems well before anybody knew there was a problem and fixing things that other people have struggled with.  When I asked years ago what is wrong with American schools, and I sought an answer, this is where it has taken me.  The answer is that communism is alive and well, and still a major threat to the world.  America did not win the Cold War.  The surrender by Russia was a ruse designed to get America to lay down its defenses, and it worked.  Actually, it’s far worse than anybody thought, because America allowed itself to be sung to sleep by the KGB quite on purpose.  Once we let down our defenses, they entered our children’s minds through various labor unions and went to work turning them against the hard-working generations of the past—so that in the future, those children would be easy to conquer as adults.  Once the generations who built America died off, the new generation of complacent union trained idiots would be easy to dispose of, which was always the plan—from the very beginning of the “perestroika deception.”

People in the west, which is both their strength and weakness, have a firm reliance on the pronoun “I.”  The word “I” indicates responsibility and self-worth, and is the primary reason that Americans invent so many things and are so industrious leaving the rest of the world to only copy off us.  Collectivist societies in every single fashion lack the ability to generate anything new.  It is the pronoun “I” that allows for innovation, technological revolution, and advances in free will, increased human capacity and improved lifestyles.  But it is also a weakness, because those functioning under the pronoun “I” cannot understand a group of people who would happily sacrifice their life for the greater good of some stupid ideal—like the spread of communism over the entire planet.  They cannot understand living one’s entire life for the good of the collective whole—where once they perish, the work they pursued can be picked up and continued for another generation.  The communist because they do not function from the pronoun “I” can happily not see their objectives met within their lifetime.  They can wait for 100 years, or 200 years—whatever it takes to get where they want to go—because they lack the value of the word, “I.”  Americans because the pronoun “I” is so pronounced have been exposed by the KGB and manipulated by a scam that takes place outside of the lifetimes of the participants.  Americans have not been able to see the perestroika deception because the plan takes place over several generations and the career changes of many America media personalities, union officials, politicians, and celebrities.  The average influential years of most Americans is about 15 years.  Most people functioning from the pronoun “I” spend a number of years climbing the ladders of success, and once they arrive, they have a seat at the table for about 15 years before they retire and move on to a peaceful life enjoying the fruits of their labor.  The KGB knew this and exploited it in grand fashion hatching a destruction upon America that would unite the world under communism for all known eternity—at least for the human race—and they did it with the “perestroika deception.”

Ann Becker in the Wall Street Journal: Southern Ohio is the heart of the new civil war

“’What got everyone re-energized was the debt ceiling,’ said Ann Becker, president of the Cincinnati Tea Party, who attended a meeting in Mr. Boehner’s district of more than 200 people Saturday to discuss a long-shot challenge to him for the GOP nomination.”  That was a quote out of the Wall Street Journal where Cincinnati Tea Party President and personal friend Ann Becker made nationwide news following the straw poll results in Eaton, Ohio trying to determine who will run against John Boehner in the upcoming primary.  Traditional big government oriented Republicans like John Boehner, John Kasich, Mitch McConnell and many others specifically in the Ohio and Kentucky region are facing major challenges—which is how things are supposed to be.  The Wall Street Journal is one of the last of the respectable papers in America, so it was wonderful to see Ann make the news.

A lot of people throughout the country do not know that Southern Ohio is ground zero for the heart and soul of the country.  The primary resistance to public education solidified in this region, it is the front yard of major GOP Republicans and is the heart of a current civil war within the Republic Party situated specifically in Butler County, Ohio where old school cronyism is meeting up head on against the new rebels of the party who are insisting on Constitutional purity.  At the heart of many of those activities in many different capacities has been Ann Becker.   So it was good to see her mentioned in the Wall Street Journal. 

Many traditional Republicans like John Boehner and the money machine that funds him primarily coming from the Carlos Todd Republicans, are bewildered as to what people like Ann have been yearning for.  They thought that all they had to do was come out against abortion, stand for lower taxes with lip service, and present a resistance to same-sex marriage that the religious base of the Republican Party would fall in behind.  The well-known business method which people like Carlos Todd of Butler County—a developer who has used political involvement to ensure the stability of his investments—is that you pay to play ball and if someone wanted to work hard, got to know all the right people, that anybody could make it in America. 

But that’s not how things were supposed to be, and people like Ann have stood against it—and behind her legions of much more radicalized advocates for Constitutional purity are calling for the heads of Carlos Todd’s Republicans. Ann was always level-headed and understood all sides of an argument.  She even ran against me in 2005 in support of the Lakota levy.  By 2010 she joined me in opposition, but we did not always stand together on those battle lines just as now there are many who wish she’d take a sword to the head of the GOP when other methods are already well under way that don’t make such a mess.  But the underlying current to the politics of Southern Ohio whether it is the efforts of the West Clermont School District to stand against organized labor control of the school board, The Liberty Township Tea Party fight against the IRS and being in the middle of the civil war in Butler Country where John Boehner/Todd Republicans are fighting against Tea Party activists, or Ann Becker’s efforts to dethrone the Speaker of the House in Washington D.C., and my overarching attempts to throw a light on all forms of collectivism spanning through all those fields.  There are few places in America where the war wages more vigorously than Southern Ohio, and Northern Kentucky.  Not to be taken lightly, Rand Paul is from the area, and is taking the political message of people like Ann Becker to the front lines of a presidential race.  Paul is too liberal for me, but he does represent the future and I’m rooting for him. 

 

Few people know it, but the Doc Thompson Radio Show on The Blaze is broadcast from Southern Ohio across the entire nation and they have directly taken on virtually every House and Senate seat up for grabs in the 2014 election.  They broadcast from a secret location and often not in the same place day-to-day.  Other popular personalities from Southern Ohio are Libertarian Girl who is also personal friends with Ann Becker and is bringing a youthful following to the libertarian movement pulling votes from traditional Republicans and activating young people who might otherwise be inclined to vote for a Democrat.   

 

The landscape is changing rapidly, and the end result will be something different.  It is hard to tell at this time exactly how, but one thing is for sure, the Grand Ol’ Party will not be a bunch of old men protecting their real estate investments in the future, and they will either adopt, or they will become extinct.  They will either get on the train, or they will be run over by it—because going back to the old ways won’t happen.  Too many people are awakened now to return back to those complacent times. 

 

People are still apathetic, but as Ann gave me a series of very important news reports of which the Wall Street Journal article was only one, this new upcoming generation is different and is not tolerant of stuffy old Republicans like John Boehner.  There are still plenty of people who will vote for Boehner, probably enough to keep him in office, but that is changing quickly.  Two years from now, Boehner may lose his base completely at the rate of change that we are seeing.  Even if he hangs on to win the primary in 2014, the next time won’t be nearly so easy. 

 

Just four years ago when the Ohio Education Association put out a press release, every newspaper, television station, and news report followed their statements without question.  Now, those same outlets are taking OEA reports far less seriously because there is a lot of scrutiny thrown in the direction of that government based labor union that wasn’t there before.  Southern Ohio has been a place where much-needed gasoline has been thrown on a fire that was already started by Glenn Beck, John Stossel, and many other high-profile commentators who began questioning the status quo.  Like Ann said in the Wall Street Journal, “What got everyone re-energized was the debt ceiling.” It did, and everything mentioned was an offshoot of that issue.   My opposition to public education is driven off the extraordinarily high cost of public education forcing taxes higher on people who may not support the liberal viewpoints of the government schools.  Boehner has done nothing to stop the national debt but use his majority in the House of Representatives to lay down for the President to run him over.  The Republicans have been complicit in the crime of looting the nation, and people like Ann have stood strong against very strong forces who demand the status quo.  But that status is no longer relevant, and the cracks in the system are growing into crumbling supports of a structure that will come crashing down very soon—because there’s no money, intellectual will, or credible aptitude to continue the charade.

I am proud to know Ann Becker.  She has done some great work, and she will always be near and dear to me—because her fight for liberty, justice, and honor started a chain reaction that cannot be stopped now—and she will always be known as one of the first.  It’s a pleasure to know her.

Becky Higgins OEA Introduction: A tribute to communism “If I Had a Hammer”

In case you missed the opening of the Ohio Education Association’s recent 2014 Collective Bargaining Conference you can see what union President Becky Higgins did that would be hilarious if it wasn’t so indicative of a sinister progressive plot.  If you own property in the State of Ohio, you are putting money into the pocket of this lady and her conspirators at the OEA.  You don’t have a choice because they basically run public education and are locked arm in arm with politicians in Columbus.  The point of the conference was exclusively how to further solidify that relationship and nothing else.  The difference between now and a few years ago was that there wasn’t any media which showed how stupid these people really are.  They had fancy public relations people who could make people like Becky Higgins appear brilliant and sophisticated so that during tax increase time in local school districts people actually thought they were getting a superior product.  But in reality what we have been getting all along is seen in the following video.   Watch and try to hold down the puke:

Watch the rest of these videos too.  They paint a picture of what these people really are.  While watching think how many thousands of dollars you have been forced to give them as a property owner.

It is ironic that Higgins picked that Pete Seegar classic, “If I had a Hammer.”  Do you dear reader know what that song means—besides being a favorite tune from the vile, dirt ridden, pot smoking, greasy hippies of the 60’s when Peter, Paul and Mary made the song into a Top Ten hit?  The song was first performed publicly by Pete Seeger and Lee Hays on June 3, 1949 at St. Nicholas Arena in New York at a testimonial dinner for the leaders of the Communist Party of the United States, who were then on trial in federal court, charged with violating the Smith Act by advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government.[1] It was not particularly successful in commercial terms when it was first released. It fared notably better when it was recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary more than a decade later. Their cover of the song, released in August 1962, became a Top 10 hit.  It was a song dedicated to progressive politics as the communist push in America was in full swing, and the OEA is a progressive, (communist) organization built on the backs of that communist push.  Their desire is to use the labor union hammer to pound society into a collective unity as described by that Seegar song.  Here are the words.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_I_Had_a_Hammer

If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning
I’d hammer in the evening, all over this land
I’d hammer out danger, I’d hammer out a warning
I’d hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land

If I had a bell, I’d ring it in the morning
I’d ring it in the evening, all over this land
I’d ring it in danger, I’d ring out a warning
I’d ring in love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land
If I had a song, I’d sing it in the morning
I’d sing it in the evening, all over this land
I’d sing it in danger, I’d sing out a warning
I’d sing in love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land
Well I got a hammer and I got a bell
And I got a song to sing all over this land
It’s the hammer of justice, it’s the bell of freedom
It’s a song about love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land

The important lines of that song are “it’s the hammer of justice; it’s the bell of freedom.  It’s a song about love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land.”  The freedom they are talking about is not the kind of freedom that is sought in the American Constitution, it is the freedom of the hippie, the free love saps and bra burning bitches mired in pot smoke and corrupt thinking to do what they want, when they want to, to whomever they desire.  It is the freedom to take from the rich and give to the jobless hippie, the scum bag, and the derelict.  If we are all family, according to the song—brothers and sisters—then we should all care for each other like family all over this land.  What they really mean is that whatever personal decisions are made by losers, thieves and depraved social menaces should be forgiven as the value of the good and pure can be robbed and used for the good of all over the entire land.  This is the crap that is being taught to children in school by these progressive organizations—specifically the OEA who by law has their very communist hands in our pockets provided to them by our scum bag politicians and their yellow spins of urine soaked courage.

In the old days the Cincinnati Enquirer and the local papers of every community, particularly those owned by James M Cox made the OEA seem like a good, beneficial government labor union intent to help children.  If you have not read the Progressive Democracy of James M. Cox written in 1920, you should dear reader, so that you will understand how Cox used his newspaper company to spread progressive politics to the masses for the next 80 years.  It is Cox Media who today controls most of the local newspapers and is why they lean very far to the political left in their coverage.  This is why the paper Today’s Pulse gives half page space to the Lakota Superintendent to make her case for public education as any dissenting opinions are “blacklisted.”  Cox’s “progressivism” is the same as the OEA’s progressivism, they are masks for communism and the desire to make all people everywhere equal.  They wish to use their hammer to pound down the strong and exceptional to the level of the lowlife dirt bag so that nobody has to feel bad about the decisions they have made in life.  The communist freedom is freedom from judgment, standards, and expectation which is precisely what the OEA collective barging conference was all about.  CLICK TO REVIEW.

Just a few years ago, before there was an Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom, Cox Media had a monopoly on spreading the “progressive message” in newspapers.  Now they don’t because blog sites, YouTube and independent media are showing the world what people like Becky Higgins and her OEA members are really about.  They are about the hammer of justice and the bells of freedom and all the brothers and sisters of hippie hallucinations pounding the property owners into oblivion until they are taxed out of their properties and into collective ownership of everything.

I have warned people for years of this plot, and slowly people are beginning to put together all the elements and see these things for the real danger they possess.  When people wonder why I haven’t been in the local papers or in the Cincinnati Enquirer or on WLW radio for a while it goes well beyond the time that I called school levy supporters a bunch of fat assessed prostitutes—it is because this blog has more readership on a daily basis and gets far more exposure—and they don’t like it.  They don’t like the competition.  So my time is better spent here than there—and that is why people like Higgins is now exposed where 10 years ago she would have been lauded as a genius for education and the children under the OEA’s care.  Now dear reader you know the truth and they can’t hide it with games and fancy press releases.  The Ohio Education Association is all about the merits of that stupid song “If I Had A Hammer,” a song dedicated to communists and low life progressives who have always wanted to subvert the American Constitution.  And these low life OEA members are given our tax money by other big government loving politicians who confiscate our wealth from property value and use it to do as they said in the interviews from the conference—“change the world one child at a time.”  Aren’t you glad you voted for that last school levy?  Because if you did, you voted for your own destruction and are an idiot.  Your vote keeps people like Becky Higgins in power and in control of Ohio’s youth for a goal that goes well beyond the hopes and dreams of parents.  They are essentially intent to fulfill the hopes of the communist push advocated in the Soviet Union in 1917 and have never stopped.  They just changed their name to “progressive.”

They can wish they had a hammer, but they don’t.  However,  I do have a foot, and they are under it.  Guess what comes next.  Because I hate these people and what they stand for.  Now, here is a song from my youth to clear your poor mind dear reader of that vile hippie filth, and what I plan to use against the OEA’s progressive war machine.   I’ll take this song any day over that old communist crap!  Turn this one up…………..because this is one of my favorites!

They are the idiots who declared war.  That’s what they’ll get.  CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.

KEEP EARTH COOL, KEEP ALIENS OUT: Al Gore’s latest attempt to sell his “green agenda”

For anybody who thinks Doc Thompson and Skip LaCombe’s lambasting of the global warming advocates during their below radio show on The Blaze—heard daily at 6 AM to 9 AM—is unfair, wait until you hear this next story.  But first, Doc had a good time with the sheer stupidity of Barack Obama and John Kerry’s gallivants around the world costing massive amounts of emissions from their private airplanes to speak specifically on global warming issues.  The hypocrisy is quite obvious—and articulated with great fanfare during the following broadcast.  Listen to it here:

Well, as stupid as all that sounded, it’s not even the dumbest of the global warming advocates most recent approach.  Al Gore—who is the poster boy for global warming because of his Academy Award winning film on the matter has turned to fear of alien invasion so to propose a continued belief in the mystical field of global warming.  If there was any indication on how weak the green movement’s real position truly was it is seen below with a flyer Gore issued through his group Climate Reality Project.org which was passed out at the 2014 International UFO Congress.

Truth is often stranger than fiction, and Al Gore’s missives are often stranger than both. Robert Schaefer writes:

I just got back from the 2014 International UFO Congress, the largest UFO conference in the world, where somebody was passing out the following to the attendees (a double-sided paper on orange stock). Looks like Al Gore is using Extraterrestrials to help fight Global Warming!

You can see the actual flyer at the link below—it is hilarious. 

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/02/17/gore-enlists-extraterrestrials-to-fight-global-warming/

KEEP EARTH COOL, KEEP ALIENS OUT is what the flyer says boldly on one of the two sides.  It goes on to say, “Did you ever wonder why aliens haven’t colonized Earth yet?  They need earth to warm up first!”  Yes—the global warming advocates have turned to alien invasion as their primary reason to advance their “green” agenda.  They are advancing the argument of a literal alien invasion if the earth becomes too warm. 

Obviously this is a laughable proposal.  What science are they basing any of this on?  How many aliens has Al Gore’s group interviewed to determine that they are waiting for the earth to warm up before they invade?  The answer is none of course.  Yet the declaration was presented as a literal fact—just as they do all their global warming data.  Gore like the rest of his progressive friends believe something—so therefore to their minds—it becomes a reality.  They commit this crime against reality with virtually everything from their avocation of economic socialism to civil rights violations.  They are always looking for their interpretation of reality over what actual reality presents. 

Al Gore is a con man selling snake oil as an elixir to all aliments.  The basic concept that mankind can completely terraform the entire earth is audaciously naive.  Mankind with all their cities, roads, and machines are simply colonies of a species not much different from a beaver who builds a dam across a river, or a bug that collects leaves to build a nest.  Mankind is an animal who uses the tools of the environment to advance itself.  Global environmentalist, as Doc and Skip made wonderful fun of, are insisting that human evolution needs to stop right at this moment and that our species actually needs to regress into a hut dwelling culture fearful of everything and everyone.  Since fewer people are accepting Al Gore’s present arguments they have turned to preposterous levels of fear now to continue their advance—which should clearly indicate how flimsy their argument was from the very beginning.

The global greenie nut case is a small-minded person who is technically a sub human—meaning they have undeveloped intellects unable to grasp the voracious volume of earth and space in general.  Earth will not be around forever, and the sun will burn out in a few billion years so if mankind wants to survive beyond these events—they need to head into space—otherwise it will be all over sooner or later.  This is a fact.  But to suggest that there are fleets of aliens in space waiting for earth to heat up so that they can invade is a  new low that is beyond rational comprehension.  Yet Gore’s group passed out the material anyway without a care in the world to the actual nature of reality.

This alone is why no advocate of “green science” should be given the time of day—specifically Barack Obama, and John Kerry.  They are of the same mind arrived at by the same methods.  They are all former pot smoking hippies who concocted these theories in marijuana smoke and their political roots into progressivism and the philosophy of Immanuel Kant.  They were given the benefit of the doubt in the beginning, but now the science has caught up to them.  Now as their theories have been disproven they have resorted to alien invasion so to provoke enough fear from the masses to continue supporting their stupid global warming hypothesis.  Luckily, people are finally starting call them out on it.  That was never truer than Doc and Skip on The Blaze Radio Network.   The job of the media is to expose this kind of stupidity, and at least with Doc’s radio show—Al Gore isn’t getting a free pass—as he never should have in the first place.

The Scarlet Women: Real secrets behind the “green movement”

 

This is Part VI of a series.  CLICK HERE to read Part V. 

   Yes there are a lot of videos here.  Watch them for evidence to the text. 

If one did the work they would discover that the progressive belief in global warming, human sacrifice of achievement to the preservation of Mother Earth, and even the treacherous aspects of feminism have their roots in Aleister Crowley’s invention of the Scarlet Woman.  Crowley through his occult rituals and Masonic history took the kind of behavior conducted behind the secret societies of Europe and several American presidents and made them mainstream and accessible to the entertainment industry in the early days of Hollywood.  Aleister Crowley’s direct student, Jack Parsons would become the central figure of the counter-culture movement where watered down aspects of Thelemic belief would turn America culture upside down and destroy all sense of tradition.  When some vile hippie cries braless and stoned for the health of Mother Earth, they are simply reiterating the concept invented by Crowley of the Great Mother, the Mother of Abominations—the Scarlet Woman of Gnostic Mass.  It is the Scarlet Woman that the Green Movement is truly dedicated to and the means of appeasing her requires collective sacrifice to the Mother of Abominations for the task of appeasing her cohort—the The Beast. 

 

Babalon also known as the Scarlet Woman, Great Mother or Mother of Abominations) is a goddess found in the mystical system of Thelema, which was established in 1904 with English author and occultistAleister Crowley‘s writing of The Book of the Law. In her most abstract form, she represents the female sexual impulse and the liberated woman; although in the Creed of the Gnostic Mass she is also identified with Mother Earth, in her most fertile sense.[1] At the same time, Crowley believed that Babalon had an earthly aspect in the form of a spiritual office, which could be filled by actual women—usually as a counterpart to his own identification as “To Mega Therion” (The Great Beast)—whose duty was then to help manifest the energies of the current Aeon of Horus.

Her consort is Chaos, the “Father of Life” and the male form of the Creative Principle. Babalon is often described as being girt with a sword and riding the Beast. She is often referred to as a sacred whore, and her primary symbol is the Chalice or Graal.

As Crowley wrote in his The Book of Thoth, “she rides astride the Beast; in her left hand she holds the reins, representing the passion which unites them. In her right she holds aloft the cup, the Holy Grail aflame with love and death. In this cup are mingled the elements of the sacrament of the Aeon“.

Babalon is a complex figure, although within Thelemic literature, she has three essential aspects: she is the Gateway to the City of the Pyramids, the Scarlet Woman and the Great Mother.

Within the mystical system of the A∴A∴, after the adept has attained the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel, he then might reach the next and last great milestone — the crossing of the Abyss, that great spiritual wilderness of nothingness and dissolution. Choronzon is the dweller there, and his job is to trap the traveler in his meaningless world of illusion.

However, Babalon is just on the other side, beckoning. If the adept gives himself totally to her—the symbol of this act being the pouring of the adept’s blood into her graal — he becomes impregnated in her, then to be reborn as a Master of the Temple and a saint that dwells in the City of the Pyramids. From Crowley’s book Magick Without Tears:

[S]he guardeth the Abyss. And in her is a perfect purity of that which is above, yet she is sent as the Redeemer to them that are below. For there is no other way into the Supernal mystery but through her and the Beast on which she rideth.[2]

And from The Vision and the Voice (12th Aethyr):

Let him look upon the cup whose blood is mingled therein, for the wine of the cup is the blood of the saints. Glory unto the Scarlet Woman, Babalon the Mother of Abominations, that rideth upon the Beast, for she hath spilt their blood in every corner of the earth and lo! she hath mingled it in the cup of her whoredom.

She is considered to be a sacred whore because she denies no one, and yet she extracts a great price — the very blood of the adept and his ego-identity as an earthly individual. This aspect of Babalon is described further from the 12th Aethyr:

This is the Mystery of Babylon, the Mother of Abominations, and this is the mystery of her adulteries, for she hath yielded up herself to everything that liveth, and hath become a partaker in its mystery. And because she hath made her self the servant of each, therefore she becomes the mistress of all. Not as yet canst thou comprehend her glory.

Beautiful art thou, O Babylon, and desirable, for thou hast given thyself to everything that liveth, and thy weakness hath subdued their strength. For in that union thou didst understand. Therefore art thou called Understanding, O Babylon, Lady of the Night!

The concept contained within this aspect of Babalon is that of the mystical ideal, the quest to become one with All through the annihilation of the earthly ego (“For as thy blood is mingled in the cup of BABALON, so is thine heart the universal heart.”[3]). The blood spilling into the graal of Babalon is then used by her to “flood the world with Life and Beauty” (meaning to create Masters of the Temple that are “released” back into the world of men), symbolized by the Crimson Rose of 49 Petals.[4]

In sex magic, the mixture of menstrual blood and semen produced in the sexual act with the Scarlet Woman or Babalon is called the Elixir Rubeus (abbreviated as El. Rub. by Crowley in his magical diaries), and is referred to as the “effluvium of Babalon, the Scarlet Woman, which is the menstruum of the lunar current” by Kenneth Grant.[5]

“This is Babalon, the true mistress of The Beast; of Her, all his mistresses on lower planes are but avatars” said Crowley in The Vision and the Voice.[6]

Although Crowley often wrote that Babalon and the Scarlet Woman are one, there are also many instances where the Scarlet Woman is seen more as a representative or physical manifestation of the universal feminine principle. In a footnote to Liber Reguli, Crowley mentions that of the “Gods of the Aeon,” the Scarlet Woman and the Beast are “the earthly emissaries of those Gods.” (Crowley 1997, Liber V vel Reguli). He then writes in The Law is for All:

It is necessary to say here that The Beast appears to be a definite individual; to wit, the man Aleister Crowley. But the Scarlet Woman is an officer replaceable as need arises. Thus to this present date of writing, Anno XVI, Sun in Sagittarius, there have been several holders of the title.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babalon#Office_of_the_Scarlet_Woman

What a lot of people have a hard time understanding is that the Beatles musician John Lennon was also a follower of Aleister Crowley and had his mind well prepared to do the work of Thelema indirectly as a premier advocate of the counter-culture movement. Like most things in Thelema teaching things often have two meanings, which appear to be the case with the 1959 novel Alas Babylon.  In 1965 journalist Larry Kane gave Lennon a copy of Alas Babylon which the singer devoured in a single night. On one hand Babylon is symbolic of the Biblical city from Revelation 18:10: Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.  The novel was a statement against nuclear war—but there was another meaning which meant a great deal to counter-culture members like Lennon and other hippie advocates.  Babylon was simply another spelling for Babalon, the goddess from Crowley’s The Book of the Law.  The nuclear war was not so much a threat to humanity as much as it was to the great goddess of Thelema belief.  It was an attack against the great Mother Earth herself—the living embodiment of the Scarlet Woman, her menstrual blood was the lava of volcanoes, her tears the rain that falls from the skies, and her temperament something to be feared like a frightened child reveres a tumultuous parent.  John Lennon was thus inspired to write a number of songs against nuclear war and would personify the symbol of peace, which was actually created by the KGB to pacify resistance to their great communist spread—which followers of Thelema religion also supported.  Jake Parsons was a communist and Aleister Crowley thought of himself as an “aristocratic communist.”  These were the men who so greatly influenced John Lennon who like Led Zeppelon were part of the “British Invasion” which was quite literally true.  Crowley’s native country rooted in The Golden Dawn wished to bring the Thelema beliefs to America behind a political movement called progressivism.

Alas Babylon is about Randy (Randolph) Bragg who lives in the small Central Florida town of Fort Repose and appears to be drifting down a somewhat aimless path in life when his older brother, Colonel Mark Bragg, an Air ForceIntelligence officer, sends his wife and two children to stay in Fort Repose, explaining that, because the Soviet government believes it can succeed, it will be emboldened to risk war. Mark is flying his family down to Florida for their protection while he stays at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska.

Soon after, an American fighter pilot attempting to intercept an enemy plane over the Mediterranean inadvertently fires an AIM-9 Sidewinderheat-seekingmissile that goes off course and hits an ammunition depot in Latakia, Syria, resulting in a large explosion. This event becomes the apparent casus belli for the Soviet Union to launch a nuclear strike against the United States and her allies. Early the following morning, Soviet missiles arrive from over the Arctic, as well as from submarines, while American missiles are sent in response. Randy and his house guests are awakened by shaking due to bombing of various air force bases and naval air stations across central and northeast Florida; one explosion temporarily blinds Peyton, Randy’s niece.

Things are chaotic at first: Tourists are trapped in their hotels, telegraph lines fail to work, the use of the CONELRAD radio system exposes its weaknesses, convicts escape from jails and prisons, and a run on the bank results in the bank’s closing. Randy organizes his immediate neighbors to provide housing, food, and water for themselves.

Over the months, news trickles in exclusively through the radio. Most of the government on both sides has been eliminated. The current American president, Josephine Vanbruuker-Brown, was formerly the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Having been active as a part-time Army Reserve officer before the Soviet attack, Randy organizes a community self-defense team against bandits and works to rid the community of radioactive jewelry smuggled into Fort Repose from the ruins of Miami.

The following year, Air Force helicopters make contact with Fort Repose. While they offer to evacuate the residents from Florida, which is considered a “contaminated zone,” the residents choose to stay. It is revealed that the United States won the war, but at a tremendous cost as it is now the recipient of aid from third world countries such as Brazil and Venezuela.

The events described above are the basic foundations for the new Green Movement.  The war against coal, the hatred of fossil fuels, capitalism, and all manners of selfish human achievement is viewed by the supporters of the original Scarlet Woman as literally evil, because they are willing to sacrifice all for her appeasement—even their very lives and reputations.  President Obama is certainly one of these supporters.  When Hillary Clinton declares that she is a proud turn of the century progressive, she is talking about the wind which blew the sails of political change called Thelema and its reverence to the Scarlet Women.  This is why feminists enjoy so much reference to ancient female goddess power—because the foundations of their belief system came directly from the works of Thelema—from the most wicked man in the world—Aleister Crowley. 

Bet you didn’t know any of that dear reader……………….but now you do.  Stay tuned tomorrow where you will learn all about the Denver International Airport and the heavy Masonic artwork provided there that intends to pave the way toward the legalization of marijuana—and a collective opening of the world to the ways of a Master of the Temple and a saint that dwells in the City of the Pyramids.  The workings of these mechanisms are right out in the open at the 15th busiest airport in the world intending to bring about a mass ritual reverence to the great Scarlet Women of Babalon, as you will soon see for yourself.  Prepare your mind for this very startling conclusion to a sinister plot against us all invoked over one hundred years ago.  And if you catch your government school forcing your child to read Alas Babylon, now you know that there are two reasons—and they aren’t warnings about nuclear war.

The Cult of Thelema: Aleister Crowley and Ayn Rand’s big difference

This is Part III, CLICK HERE TO REVIEW PART II:

One of the best aspects of Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism is that it deals with reason, and is built by observed conditions.  It does leave open the possibility for unknown potential—but until proven, they cannot be considered.  This generally leads to the truth of most any situation.  However—not all of them—which is why I am not an Objectivist.  There are mysterious interactions which intersect our dimensional space that cannot be rationalized away until more evidence is gathered.  On more than one occasion I have had enemies who have locked themselves in rooms filled with candles, and all forms of black magic hoping to call against me assistance from beyond the grave.  From these rooms would emerge chants against my name and demons certainly answered the call—I have met them in all their glory.  I have had these enemies wish bad health to me and my family, bad luck, full-blown possession that would haunt our home and our dreams.  Fighting these entities has been quite challenging.  After 20 years, we’ve gotten pretty good at understanding the who, what, why, when and where of them and I can report that demons really aren’t to be feared once understood that they are just beings like anybody else.  The only real advantage that they have over our four-dimensional world is that they can move freely through it somewhat concealed.  But they often lack intelligence and if they do not have fear as an ally, they have little real power.  They can invoke cellular decay, negative thoughts, and other forms of quantum terrorism—but these things can be countered with a healthy mind that knows what to look for. 

However this has not stopped otherwise weak, and broken people who lack such healthy minds from looking for an advantage over their peers with the assistance of black magic and ceremonial indulgence.  And in recent history the most successful of these occultist experimenters was Aleister Crowley who has indirectly reached the lives of virtually every human being in the world through musicians who dedicated themselves to his Thelema religion.  If you have heard and loved a Rolling Stones song, you have admired the indirect work of Aleister Crowley’s religion of Thelema—which has been often labeled as “satanic.”  However, the truth of the matter is that Crowley did not recognize the devil because to do so would be to recognize his opposite—God—and that wasn’t going to happen.  Crowley had as a boy wanted to grow up to be like his evangelist father but when his hero died at a very early age, Crowley’s anger at God turned to a wrath that would embrace the heart of pure evil launching against the entire 20th Century and all our lives through artistic endeavor, the philosophical concept of Thelema.   

Thelema Koine Greek:[θélima]) is primarily a philosophical law, which has been adopted as a central tenet by some religious organizations. The law of Thelema is “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law, love under will.” The law of Thelema was developed by Aleister Crowley, the early 20th-century British writer and ceremonial magician.[3] He believed himself to be the prophet of a new age, the Æon of Horus, based upon a spiritual experience that he and his wife, Rose Edith, had in Egypt in 1904.[4] By his account, a possibly non-corporeal or “praeterhuman” being that called itself Aiwass contacted him and dictated a text known as The Book of the Law or Liber AL vel Legis, which outlined the principles of Thelema.[5] An adherent of Thelema is a Thelemite.

The Thelemic pantheon includes a number of deities, primarily a trinity adapted from ancient Egyptian religion, who are the three speakers of The Book of the Law: Nuit, Hadit and Ra-Hoor-Khuit. Crowley described these deities as a “literary convenience”.[6] The religion is founded upon the idea that the 20th century marked the beginning of the Aeon of Horus, in which a new ethical code would be followed; “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”. This statement indicates that adherents, who are known as Thelemites, should seek out and follow their own true path in life, known as their True Will[7] rather than their egotistic desires.[8] The philosophy also emphasizes the ritual practice of Magick.

The word thelema is the English transliteration of the Koine Greek noun θέλημα: “will”, from the verb θέλω: to will, wish, purpose. As Crowley developed the religion, he wrote widely on the topic, producing what are collectively termed the Holy Books of Thelema. He also included ideas from occultism, Yoga and both Eastern and Westernmysticism, especially the Qabalah.[9]

According to Crowley, every individual has a True Will, to be distinguished from the ordinary wants and desires of the ego. The True Will is essentially one’s “calling” or “purpose” in life. Some later magicians have taken this to include the goal of attaining self-realization by one’s own efforts, without the aid of God or other divine authority. This brings them close to the position that Crowley held just prior to 1904.[48] Others follow later works such as Liber II, saying that one’s own will in pure form is nothing other than the divine will.[49] Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law for Crowley refers not to hedonism, fulfilling everyday desires, but to acting in response to that calling. The Thelemite is a mystic.[48] According to Lon Milo Duquette, a Thelemite is anyone who bases their actions on striving to discover and accomplish their true will,[50] when a person does their True Will, it is like an orbit, their niche in the universal order, and the universe assists them.[51] In order for the individual to be able to follow their True Will, the everyday self’s socially-instilled inhibitions may have to be overcome via deconditioning.[52][53] Crowley believed that in order to discover the True Will, one had to free the desires of the subconscious mind from the control of the conscious mind, especially the restrictions placed on sexual expression, which he associated with the power of divine creation.[54] He identified the True Will of each individual with the Holy Guardian Angel, a daimon unique to each individual.[55] The spiritual quest to find what you are meant to do and do it is also known in Thelema as the Great Work.[56]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelema

 

Just like any religion, most things about Thelema sound sensible—and even healthy.  It is hard to argue against the premise of “doing what one wills.”  Heck, I have lived my life in much the same manner.  Even Ayn Rand seemed to be saying much the same thing—and she was a devoted atheist.  So it is easy to conceive why Aleister Crowley had so many followers.  Even the sensible Barbra Bush—the mother and wife of two American presidents had a mother who found Crowley appealing and his philosophies beneficial.  They partied together in Paris in what was likely a sex magic ritual.  Like many college students who come from nice families and backgrounds, there is a sadness to see the perky little girl who used to baby sit children and had hopes and dreams of growing up to become a princess puking into a garbage can gang raped by dozens of young men unable to locate her cloths after attending a party where intoxication and sex were the dominate activities.  The same can be said of the followers of Thelema who followed Crowley into a type collective society where individualism was thought to be the pursuit, but in reality the congregation of followers willing to submit themselves to the high priest of black magic is what the real desire is—and within that premise sexual abuses from the mass orgies occur meant to appease demons to bestow upon the practitioners good fortune.  Many good, rational people have found themselves under the religion of Thelema on the bottom of a pile of naked bodies during rituals designed to throw off convention.  They get into such things thinking they are following an “individual will” when really demons are hungry for their purity.  Once that purity is given up, the body of such people are cast aside like a used sock and new victims are sought out—a new generation of willing minds. 

 

Hillary Clinton is an old “flower child”—growing up in the 1960s where radical political Marxists and communists were sprouting up like flowers in May.  Behind the flower children was the religion of Thelema where free love, free drugs and a free mind became the dominate culture driving influence.  Rock music followed Crowley’s lead and spread the message to millions creating the hippie—which would forever attack the sanctity of the typical American.  Once a woman takes off her top in a group of people how can she ever tell their daughters not to do such a thing?  Once a woman allows multiple sex partners into their life—how do they tell their daughters not to do the same and still maintain their authority as a wise parent?  Once a woman does drugs to “free her mind” she cannot tell her children not to do the same—so in many ways Aleister Crowley’s religion of Thelema opened the door to the hippie to spread the dark practices of Thelema to mainstream young people who would grow up to have no parental authority among the next generation leaving them open to be instructed by the state through public education.  Without strong parents, children have been more vulnerable than ever to the practices of Thelema which does not come to them from sexual orgies in a Thelema church, but in orgies from drinking parties, rock concerts and other primal activity unregulated by any parental value.  The parents were stripped of their value by the work of Thelema.  This is why Hillary Clinton had no sense of wrong when her husband Bill had oral sex with a White House intern.  To Hillary it was just sex, it wasn’t love, it wasn’t for power—it was just two people enjoying each other.  It was just “flower child” sex—and to Clinton, there was nothing wrong with that.  She believes these things because she is a descendent of Thelema thought processes which paved the way for the counter-culture generation which has caused so much modern-day damage. 

 

The danger is not in what starts in the beginning—it’s in what it does to a mind in the process.  For people who followed Aleister Crowley directly into Thelema they discovered that the purity of their lives was removed from them, their sense of possession, their belief in individual sanctity, their belief in solid individual values as the Helter Skelter cult, Jim Jones and dozens upon dozens of similar cults emerged following the basic teachings of Thelema.  Rituals were sold to the public as individual salvation, but the high priests in nearly every case were raw collectivists openly supporting communism and the actuality of the efforts were the breakdown of individual will to the benefit of the collective.  That is not YOUR wife—it’s our wife and we can all enjoy sex with her.  It’s not YOUR mind, it’s OUR mind and we all have a right to it.  This is not your money—it’s OUR Money—it’s communism over individual will.  In the case of Thelema—the individual will of the participants is sacrificed to the gods for the benefit of all. 

 

Aleister Crowley however got everything wrong where Ayn Rand was on the better path.  They both declared to cast away God.  Crowley because God had taken his father from him, Rand because she couldn’t prove the existence of God—she held out hope—but could not confirm or deny.  Both got their basic premise from Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil and worked from there.  However with Crowley, he brought much evil to the world directly through his dark Thelema rituals and concepts of collective sacrifice that somehow he rationalized benefited individual will.  All it really did was destroy the purity and value of millions upon millions of human beings—and for the will of all that is truly evil—only they have benefited. 

 

Tomorrow we will deal with the specific churches of Thelema occultism and explore how the one in Pasadena California brought the dark arts to the film industry behind the mask of communism.

Good Ol’ Fashioned Movies: The evil of Aleister Crowely

Please watch all the videos on this article for context:

Over a long-span of time I thought I wanted to make films in Hollywood, and I have knocked on the door more than once.  But over time, it became clear to me why my favorite filmmakers, Clint Eastwood, George Lucas, and even Walt Disney who basically moved his operations to Florida at the end of his life, stayed clear as much as possible of Wilshire Blvd.  Every year when I was a kid, the movie Chitty, Chitty Bang, Bang came on network television and I would religiously sit down to watch it.  Back then the musicals of Julie Andrews, and Dick Van Dyke over the films Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, and of course Chitty Chitty Bang Bang filled my imagination with visions of goodness.  To this day I have on my Pandora radio a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang station and from that movie this is my absolute favorite scene.

That scene, and movie made me want to make films.  But I discovered that Hollywood was not as wholesome as my favorite movies would indicate.   In my early twenties I knew a few screenwriters who worked for studios, had agents and were living the life, and they reported to me of gigantic Hollywood orgies, drug parties, and other activities which would be expected of me if I wanted to go down that road—which I didn’t.  The more I got to know members of the Hollywood community the more they seemed obsessed with what my Midwestern mind would term as sheer evil.  My sensibilities were so insulted by this reality that a writer friend of mine who was one of my early teachers, Linda Nagata sent me a story she ran across from Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine telling me that I reminded her of the lead protagonist—a detective much like the video game character from L.A. Noire who investigated crimes in and around Hollywood and uncovered all kinds of demonic Aleister Crowley ceremonies involving exotic actresses and sex orgies of extreme debauchery.  It was her way of telling me that I needed to get over my Midwestern naiveté if I wanted to work in Hollywood because that was my primary limiting ingredient.

But I didn’t want to associate with satan worshippers, drug addicts, progressives, communist spewing despots, whores and studio bosses of low intellect.  I didn’t want to attend drug parties and orgies just to have a screenplay read.  The fiction story Nagata had sent to me was not so far off.  Aleister Crowley had a following and a lot of them resided in Hollywood and the industry had been irreparably affected.     Crowley enjoyed being outrageous and flouting conventional morality.[233] He told John Symonds that he “was in revolt against the moral and religious values of his time”.[234]Crowley’s political thought was subjected to an in-depth study by academic Marco Pasi, who noted that for Crowley, socio-political concerns were subordinate to metaphysical and spiritual ones.[218] Pasi argued that it was difficult to classify Crowley as being either on the political left or right, but was perhaps best categorized as a conservative revolutionary despite not being affiliated with the German-based revolutionary conservative movement.[235] Pasi noted that Crowley sympathized with extreme ideologies like Nazism and Marxism-Leninism, in that they wished to violently overturn society, and hoped that both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union might adopt Thelema.[236] Crowley described democracy as an “imbecile and nauseating cult of weakness”,[237] and commented that The Book of the Law proclaimed that “there is the master and there is the slave; the noble and the serf; the “lone wolf” and the herd”.[223] In this attitude he was influenced by the work of Friedrich Nietzche and Social Darwinism.[238] Crowley also saw himself as an aristocrat, describing himself as Lord Boleskine; he had contempt for most of the British aristocracy,[239] and once described his socio-political views as “aristocratic communism”.[240]

Crowley was bisexual, and exhibited a sexual preference for women.[241] In particular he had an attraction toward “exotic women”,[242] and claimed to have fallen in love on multiple occasions; Kaczynski stated that “when he loved, he did so with his whole being, but the passion was typically short-lived.”[243] Even in later life, he was able to attract young bohemian women to be his lovers, largely due to his charisma.[244] During same-sex anal intercourse, he usually played the passive role,[245] which Booth believed “appealed to his masochistic side.”[246] Crowley argued that gay and bisexual people should not suppress their sexual orientation, commenting that people “must not be ashamed or afraid of being homosexual if he happens to be so at heart; he must not attempt to violate his own true nature because of public opinion, or medieval morality, or religious prejudice which would wish he were otherwise.”[247] On other issues he adopted a more conservative attitude; he opposed abortion on moral grounds, believing that no woman following her True Will would ever desire one.[248]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_Crowley

The values of Aleister Crowely because of his support of communism filtered into the Hollywood revolution of the 40s and 50s shaping many of the crazy beliefs they utilize today.  In Hollywood, if it has not yet been noticed, the rite of passage of young people into adulthood is to see them publicly defowered, we are seeing it with Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, the ripping off of the top of Janet Jackson, the lesbian kissing of Brittney Spears and Madonna, the lesbian scene of Star Wars actress Natalia Portman in The Black Swan, the utter desecration of Nichole Kidman after the film Eyes Wide Shut, and of course the extreme deflowering of the nice little actress Anne Hathaway in several films after The Princess Diaries which she co-starred with Julie Andrews.

Female former Disney stars seem to be the primary target of these purity sacrifices and none was more obvious than the 1981 film S.O.B. where Blake Edwards, who was married to Julie Andrews at the time talked her into a topless scene so to destroy her caricature of purity to the eyes of the world.  Andrews was a gigantic star on the stage of entertainment and her films Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music are absolute gifts to goodness.  They are wonderful films and like my favorite, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fed the mind of young people such as myself with the yearly showings on network television which at that time were still being run by World War II generation conservatives—relatively speaking.  Not any longer—the networks are now run by some of those types Linda sent me stories on and were part of the new Hollywood culture that seemed to have a deep-seated belief that symbols of purity such as the women mentioned above, needed to be sacrificed to the spirits of evil in order to sanctify success.  These beliefs were on full display in Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.  That was and is modern Hollywood.

There seems to be a sincere desire to erase from the mind of the public the good ol’ fashioned musical classics that have brought so much joy to so many people.  There was no sex, profanity, or detrimental behavior in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins, or The Sound of Music.  They are films with songs about the essence of the human spirit—yet in 2014 Hollywood, and America in general, there seems to be a very real effort to suppress those influences with tabloid headlines of the latest Hollywood drug addict, or up skirt picture of a new 19-year-old actress to appease the vile necessity of some un-named demon.

There was an astounding level of criticism toward Carrie Underwood who performed a live stage re-enactment of The Sound of Music for NBC television on December 5th 2013.  I do not believe the anger is over her performance which was quite good for live television; it was because of the attempt to resurrect The Sound of Music on national television.  There is a very real desire by the embodiment of evil to suppress anything which brings to the human mind an image of goodness.  It is not something that is obvious, or can be placed on a t-shirt, or even described in a church service.  I cover the roots of this evil in other articles.  CLICK HERE for review.  

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/carrie-underwood-responds-som-critics-people-jesus-article-1.1541350

Even my praise of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films by Peter Jackson are not made in Hollywood, but in New Zealand.   A film like Jackon’s explorations into the roots of evil would not be concocted in the bars of Santa Monica, the brunches on Wilshire Blvd, or the shopping complexes of Brand Blvd.  Hollywood doesn’t make movies or support stories like that anymore.  Only a very narrow few filmmakers have made it passed the pressure cookers of pure evil and found the freedom to tell their stories rightfully, such as Jerry Bruckheimer, J.J. Abrams, and Steven Spielberg.  But for every one of them, there are thousands of parasites who believe to this enlightened day that purity must be sacrificed to the gods so that box office totals can secure their job for one more year and another line of cocaine.   Agents, producers, directors and other ornaments of the entertainment industry talk these girls into sacrificing their purity to evil so that success will fall upon them—and when someone like Carry Underwood comes along who believes in Jesus, and goodness, and is trying to do the right things—they tear her down hoping that the demons of injustice will blow kisses in their direction.

I was lucky, very lucky—to have remembered a time when television still put on shows like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang every year and built the event up as a sacred ritual.   Those old films made a sincere attempt to find the good in human nature and tell a story driven by it—and I relish it deeply.  I despise evil, drugs, vile behavior, stupidity, boot licking, and sexual promiscuity.  So because Hollywood cannot produce such musicals as original material any longer, I will stick with the classics and enjoy them the way I did as a kid and share them with my own family.  Because there are fewer moments better in my opinion in film history than that music box piece from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang—and it didn’t involve nudity, violence, or a gross joke—it was just good for the sake of good, something that Hollywood has long forgotten.

Dick Van Dyke for President!  And thank God for Pandora radio!

Cleta Mitchell IRS Testimony: Why the government wants to be in “charge”

The primary reason that we have a Bill of Rights, specifically the First and Second Amendment, is that WHEN corruption takes over a government, that the people can wrestle that power away and remove those corrupted restoring order.  The Second Amendment is not to secure the ability to hunt, or provide personal protection in case some punk decides they want to steal all our cookies.  The Second Amendment is present so that American citizens can defend themselves against the federal government if that body of government gets out of control.   And the First Amendment is present so that the Second Amendment might be avoided.  Power corrupts—it happens even in silly fast food restaurants when a manager has power over other employees, it happens between companies who are both fighting for power and influence, it happens among family members arguing who will sit at the head of a table, and it will always happen in government.  There is no possible way that a centralized government can be expected to perform at an intellectually superior place of neutrality.  Power is leverage over others, and so long as human beings desire such things—corruption will thrive in any government activity.  This corruption has never been so evident than in the IRS scandal where Tea Party activists were directly attacked by government.  Lucky for the government there is a First Amendment, because as long as its respected, the Second won’t be needed—and testimony like the one that Cleta Mitchell performed below can take place.

Explosive testimony lit up a House hearing on the IRS targeting scandal recently, as GOP super lawyer Cleta Mitchell told representatives that the systematic effort to delay the processing of grass-roots groups’ applications for nonprofit status continues to occur.

Mitchell represents several grass-roots conservative organizations whose applications under sections 501c3 and 501c4 of the internal revenue code were delayed for years in the run-up to the 2012 election. She said that targeting had not stopped.  As seen in the video above, she listed a number of instances which are gigantic red flags concerning the IRS scandal that link directly to the President of the United States.  In the case of the IRS, and history will certainly make note of it—the media has been complicit in a deception right along with the federal government.  They have openly suppressed the scandal for the ideological benefit of their own power grab as those enjoying the current power of being in government wish very much to see that power grow.

Years ago I worked at a Wendy’s restaurant as a part-time job doing grill cook obligations during their busiest times of the day.   I needed the extra money to pay off a tax obligation from a business start-up that didn’t work out, and I didn’t want the money to come out of our normal family budget, so I took on an extra job just to pay my tax obligation.  I already had a normal full-time job along with dozens of hobbies to fill my time, so my time at this Wendy’s restaurant was something I could take or leave.  One of the managers was a girl about my age who I got along fabulously with.  She understood what I wanted out of the job, and she clearly understood the trade-off that her restaurant received by my services.    On a normal day I saved her anywhere from 2 to 5 staffing positions because I was so fast.  But there was another manager there whom was a disgusting, self-indulged, narcissist.  She was a typically school levy supporter—she had a gigantic ass, an obtuse cranium from the very little brain capacity going on behind her skull and she was deeply in love with power.  She loved having power over all the teenage employees and she relished instructing them what to do.  Of course she and I clashed often as I was not responsive to her at all.  She certainly wasn’t going to tell me what to do, and that was the end of it—but she tried often—and we fought just as much.  She turned a simple task of making food for people into an excruciating ordeal just because she loved power.

I was also a waiter at Frisch’s for a number of years, again, as a second job making extra money.  Frisch’s didn’t pay much, but I did make a lot of money in tips.  I worked at the Fields Ertel location for a few years, and I did it because of the money I could make.  Readers of my novel The Symposium of Justice can enjoy a bit of trivia to know that the climax chapter, “Salad Bar Goddess” is based on my experiences as a waiter at this job.  The location described is the Frisch’s location at Fields Ertel—where the suicide of the hit man occurred, it was there on I-71—where he threw himself in front of an oncoming simi so to rid the earth of his corrosive—irredeemable presence.  That’s why the book is called, “The Symposium of Justice.”  Anyway, there was a manager there, a guy who was obviously miserable with his personal life, had no real personality, and was an otherwise social outcast who was the manager.  He would invent tasks to perform at the close of business long after the tips stopped flowing just to exert power over people.  Just when you thought all the closing duties were performed as a waiter, or waitress, he’d come up with a whole list of things to do at 1 AM in the morning just to show that he had power over you.  Of course I also clashed with this guy.  I made his life such a miserable mess in retaliation for the things he attempted to do to me, that he eventually was transferred away.  On one particular instance I was on my break in the back reading one of my books when he came to tell me to handle another section because they were getting busy.  Well, they weren’t that busy, and he didn’t need me to end my break.  It was well-known that he hated that I read so much because he spewed about it all the time.  So I refused.  When he grabbed my book and tried to wrestle it from my hands, I grabbed his throat and threw him against the wall pinning him in place with some much directed dialogue that shut him up for several months.  I got rid of him by going to corporate headquarters and letting them know what kind of guy he was.  A few months later, he was transferred to another store.  I still see him around town as he is still a manager at Frisch’s.  He is currently a manager at one of the Liberty Township restaurants—and when he sees me he never makes eye contact.  With him it was always about the power and when he sees me, it is a terrible reminder that I did not respect his authority, so he chooses not to deal with the reality which he has built up in his mind.  I could tell hundreds of similar stories very closely related, but when it comes to fast food—where the pay is low, the work is hard, and the hours are disastrously difficult—there are always these types of power-hungry scum bags.  There isn’t anything in it for them to be that way.  The companies don’t promote them more than other people, and the pay is always bad.  They are often forced to work lots of strange hours and in the case of the Frisch’s manager, he hated it that I read so much because he was afraid that I’d become something that he couldn’t ever become—and it drove him crazy.  Yet he didn’t want to put the work into becoming better himself.  His desire, and the levy supporter mentioned prior took jobs in management just so they could mess with people and have power.

Government is filled with these types of people—people who really only want to have control over other people—for the simple reason of having some sense of control.  It’s an infantile desire that exists in every strata of society.  But in the jobs mentioned, I was free to choose whether or not to work in those places, or whether or not I would ram the manager’s head through the back of a Frisch’s wall for interrupting my reading time during a break.  When it comes to government when those types of people work in the IRS, the TSA, the local police and fire departments, zoning, code compliance you name it—those government jobs are filled with insecure despots suffering from deep insecurities that they wished to overcome being in charge of other people.  Like I’ve said, I have lived a very colorful life—and I’m proud of it.  I used to come to work at Frisch’s wearing a Mexican poncho and a cowboy hat with my whips strapped underneath to my shoulder.  I wasn’t going to war, but between jobs I would practice in an abandon lot off Fields Ertel road.  My day job was a kind of political one, where I would spend a lot of time down at Cincinnati City Hall.  During an occasion where I had to deal with Mayor Qualls back in the 90s her office was wreaking with these power-hungry types.  She loved the power of the Mayor’s office in Cincinnati even though she was a long way from qualified to perform management of any kind.  After dealing with people like that I had a need to re-center myself, so I dressed the way I wanted, said what I wanted, and lived how I wanted.  I had the eccentricity of a rock star without the tour bus especially during my tenure at Frisch’s which infuriated the manager mentioned.  He became so frustrated with me that he actually pretended to have a nervous breakdown hoping that my compassion for him would pull me in line.  It didn’t.  As he fell to the ground with an apparent seizure flopping around like a fish I said to one of the waitresses as I stood over him that if he died, we’d be able to leave on time for a change.  Miraculously, as the paramedics came to revive him, he got up and locked himself into his office.  Four hours later, he was back to himself as he ran out of gas to perform the charade—at the end of the night he stopped me as I was leaving.  He asked me if I cared about anyone.  I said yes, my wife and kids.  He then asked me why I worked at Frisch’s if I spend my days hanging out with mayors and Cincinnati “big wigs” then spend my evenings in his restaurant reading books that aren’t even taught in colleges dressed like I’ve walked out of a Clint Eastwood movie.  I said—to make money.

The IRS, The White House, the military, the police, every government agency is filled with these types of people, and they are not capable to rule over anybody.  If left alone, they will become corrupt with power for the simple reason that they have a psychological need to rule over others to justify their insecurities.  For that reason alone, the progressive position of large centralized government will never work.  They can’t even do basic tasks correctly—yet ideologically, all those who support such things have been willing to lie openly to protect that desire. This is what is behind the open lies going on over the IRS scandal.  The power to rule over others is what committed the crime, but the denial that government is filled with these types of personalities propels it—because once that is admitted to, the foundations of progressivism—and liberalism in general—falls apart.

Government is not capable of self-correction.  When confronted, they will attempt every ploy known to shake the truth from their actions so to avoid the grim reality of their personal tyranny.  So we have the First Amendment to call out the bad behavior when we see it, just as Cleta Mitchell did in the testimony seen above.  It’s not just one or two people involved in this scandal, its entire branches of government and most of those workers have similar problems as the people mentioned in my story.  They fear to stand on their own—fear that they lack intellectual resources to do things on their own—so they are attracted to government.  Once they have the power of an office, or the federal government at their back, they are free to be little tyrants to those they see as their intellectual superiors.  With the IRS, they see the Tea Party movement as a threat to them—so they targeted them with all their power in the same way that the Frisch’s manager targeted me just for reading a book.  My action made him feel bad about himself and he didn’t want the self-reflection.  So he attacked me.  The same thing has been happening between The White House, the FBI, the CIA, the DHS the IRS, and the Tea Party groups.

But there are rights and government is not allowed to harass people, so by using the First Amendment as a way to keep those corrupt souls in check, a balance of power can be maintained.  If that doesn’t work, then we have the Second Amendment. But losing one or both of those options is not in the cards as much as progressives would like to see.  They of course want unchecked power—but so long as humans desire such things, there will always be needed balances of power to counter those aggressions.  Presently power has been abused by the IRS and the federal government in general—and action against those villains is justified—and expected in defense of the First Amendment.  If it does not happen, well, then that’s why we have the Second.  But turning away and letting the situation die down is not the path to justice—as we can’t expect the bad guys to do the right thing and throw themselves in front of a truck to rid us all of their intellectual burden.  Cleta Mitchell has every right in the world to be upset.  Crimes were committed and since the government is in charge of the investigation, nothing is happening—which is corruption.  This is why government can never be so large, or can even be trusted to do basic tasks—and why progressivism is a failure that should be eradicated from the tongues of mankind forever.

‘Books A Million’ is Leaving Bridgewater Falls: High costs driven by taxation destroying culture

A constant that I have spoken often about which is one of my favorite places in the world to visit with my wife is the Books A Million store at Bridgewater Falls near my home in Liberty Township, Ohio.  The ideal night out for the two of us is to have dinner at Chilis, then walk over to Books A Million to buy a nice supply of books for the week.  We purchase a lot of books, we buy them online, we buy them from other bookstores, such as Barnes and Nobel in West Chester, or down at Newport on the Levy, but none more than Books A Million where the gigantic pillars at the entrance make book buying such an epic event.  There is nothing that makes my heart go “pitter patter” more than the purchase of a new book—it doesn’t matter if its historical, paranormal, social science, comic, philosophy, fiction, or whatever the topic—a new book in my hands or my wife’s is the best feeling in the world.  In our home there are over 500 books just from the Books A Million store mentioned.  Yet sadly, we were greeted this past Friday with a tragic knowledge—that Books A Million’s lease with Bridgewater Falls has expired, and now because of changes according to people close to the situation—the rates are going up and Books A Million will be closing that Bridgewater Falls location.  This news was equivalent to discovering that a dear friend was about to die—the impact will be long-lasting in my family.

When I bring so much attention to the cost of school levies or high taxes in general, it is places like Books A Million who suffer the most.  Only a few years ago Fairfield Schools passed a school levy, and as lease rates expire for many of the stores in a complex like Bridgewater Falls, the many apartments up and down RT 4, the various shops along the same corridor, property owners have little choice but to pass along the cost of those tax increases to leasers who then have to figure out if they can make enough money to pay a lease.  In the case of Books A Million they sell books which a lot of people enjoy, but that industry has been deeply impacted by online sales, and digital downloads. Books A Million has diversified, they’ve brought in toys and other gadgets to stay relevant, and had been holding their own.  But all it takes is a rate increase to mitigate their diminishing marginal return and make it no longer profitable for them to operate.

Pro tax people will state quite openly that the landlords—in this case Bridgewater Falls should absorb the higher taxes—but that’s never how things work. They have a diminishing marginal return to meet as well, and they know where their profit margins are, and what they are willing to do to perform the task.  In the case of Books A Million cost increases that were applied to Bridgewater Falls two to three years ago are just now having an impact on Books A Million because this is the period that their lease is up.  The cause may have occurred many years prior yet the impact is just now being felt.  When stores close and vacate an area this is most of the time the primary cause.  This is why there are old strip malls in towns like Middletown, and Hamilton who have long seen their better days sitting mostly empty.  Taxation destroyed their ability to attract diversified businesses—and the ones they had leave.

I have had talks with people close to the new development of Liberty Center just down the road—which will be a high-end type of enterprise—and part of those talks is to bring in a Joseph and Beth bookstore—if they can manage to secure the interest.  When Newport on the Levy was built, the developer worked hard to bring in the Barnes and Noble bookstore.  Large developments like these require something intellectual to mix with the restaurants, the clothing stores, and other variety shops.  It is psychologically refreshing to see a book store in a shopping complex—even for those who don’t read a lot of books.  A bookstore presence is a cultural asset to the shopping experience.  When Tri-County Mall lost their three bookstores over ten years ago, the clientele of Tri County Mall declined tremendously.  The same thing happened at nearby Cincinnati Mills–they lost their large Walden book store which was replaced by a shoe store and never drew the same type of numbers again.  The mall tried to appeal to a younger crowd by allowing bars and nightspots to soak up lease space, but it never worked.  It destroyed the culture of Cincinnati Mills.  Without a bookstore to serve as an intellectual anchor to the shopping experience the demographic shift changed unfavorably and the mall died.  When Borders Books and Music left the Princeton Pike shopping center across the street from Tri-County Mall that entire strip mall died on the vine.  The overall quality of the entire complex declined considerably leaving the next door restaurant of Red Squirrel alone and defenseless.  I used to have breakfast at that restaurant nearly every day.  Before the internet I would purchase newspapers from all over the country at Borders and go next door to the Red Squirrel to read them over a breakfast omelet.  Bookstores, even for people who don’t go to them very much, raise the profile of any shopping experience and when they leave, shortly after, the mall, strip outlet, or overall shopping experience declines rapidly.  Out of all the bookstores mentioned, the one at Bridgewater Falls was our favorite.  We often would go to the Mexican restaurant that was in the center of the Bridgewater complex basically because I have had so many political enemies that it was nice to eat there tucked away like we were in a cave.  I didn’t have to worry about stray “aggression” coming at me while we ate.  The design of that Mexican restaurant afforded that could actually relax with my wife while dining out.  After dinner we’d walk around the corner to Books A Millon and shop for countless hours.  Well, the Mexican restaurant is gone and Bridgewater has not been able to fill the space—likely the curb appeal versus lease rates is no longer compatible.  When Books A Million leaves, a giant empty building will greet visitors right at the shopping complex entrance.  Bridgewater Falls may think that they can fill the space with a shoe store, or something like a Kirklands—which failed at the location right across the street just a few years ago—but likely, once Books A Million leaves Bridgewater Falls, the shopping experience at that location will begin to decline over the next decade.  Books A Million was one of those stores which made Bridgewater Falls attractive from the outset—it was an anchor for that shopping complex, and it likely won’t survive the long haul.

My wife and I have been debating for months our attendance of Bridgewater Falls versus the new Liberty Center where again I have been asking for a Joseph and Beth bookseller there.  She is a very loyal person and she would not abandon Bridgewater Falls because of what Books A Million has meant to her.  Likely we are the extreme case, but we may not go to Bridgewater Falls again without a bookstore present.  We will have to go to Liberty Center when it opens or go to the Streets of West Chester.  However, the Barnes and Noble there isn’t in healthy shape either.  If not for the 50 Shades of Grey popularity, Barnes and Nobel were very close to bankruptcy.  My hope is that these bookstores can hold on until the new Star Wars films spike book sales in ways that bookstores require to keep brick and mortar outlets open—but there isn’t any guarantee.   Bookstores can only produce so much in sales, people enjoy knowing they are there—they don’t typically buy as many books as my wife and I do, but they enjoy seeing them in shopping complexes as a psychological reassurance that they are attending a place of culture.  Without a bookstore, a shopping complex takes on a nature of just a commercial center—and it quickly loses its appeal.

The high cost of doing business imposed by taxation hits hardest businesses that have low profit margins—like bookstores.  While it might take longer to affect stores like Forever 21 or Target, the first retail experiences to be shaped by high costs are places like Books A Million.  Once bookstores leave a shopping complex, it is usually just a matter of time before the shopping complex becomes a center of slum.  People still go to the restaurants, and buy cloths, but the overall quality of the shopping experience declines rapidly—and the amount of money a place like Bridgewater Falls can command with lease rates becomes substantially less.  When bookstores leave, the “dollar stores” move in, and with those a lower type of shopper comes with them—not the kind who spend a lot of money on other stores.  A slow death begins.

I will miss you guys at Books A Million.  My wife will miss you even more—and so will the rest of my family.  If I could pick one thing that would stay the same—it would be that Books A Million could stay at Bridgewater Falls—but due to the high taxation coming to the Butler County area—the path to gradual decline is inevitable.  Books A Million is simply the first casualty because it is most vulnerable with a perceived value that is less obvious.

Why Compromise is a Dirty Word: Superbowl patriotism and the ad agencies of lately

One of the most striking aspects of the 2014 Superbowl that was grotesquely obvious was the string of patriotism that permeated from the event.  Usually, a month after such sporting events, most people will have long forgotten who won or lost the game.  Yet advertisers spending many millions of dollars in production costs alone produce some of the most creative commercials that will be seen all year which set the pace of marketing for the following year.  Most of those commercials are decided upon well in advance under the careful guidance of agencies that make their recommendations based on lots of statistical behavioral data.  Patriotism was an unannounced theme at this latest Superbowl which is not an accident.  It was seen in the controversial Coke multi-lingual commercial, the Bob Dylan bit for Chrysler and most obviously in the below advertisement for the upcoming movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier—which plays right into the sense of patriotic recognition that the Superbowl was trying to create.

There were many more examples especially during the pre-game ceremonies—more so than during normal Superbowls–which brought to my mind a theory.  As hated as the Tea Party has been relative to the rest of the world, a lot of people not affiliated with the movement have had their American patriotism questioned.  There is a desire for Michelle Obama, John Boehner and the rest of the RINOS to declare that they are patriotic too, and not statist slugs filled with apathy and corruption.  There are companies who have made deals with politics to become cronies of capitalism and feel guilty about it—so they are using the Superbowl to tell 111.5 million viewers that they are not American enemies, but are as well patriotic and in love with freedom, and their country.  It was a chance to react to the needle movement created by the Tea Party, and statists took advantage of it as if to answer the criticism leveled in their direction.

During the Lakota school levy fights of years past many in my community thought I unfairly kept moving the goal posts further back never accepting the concessions of negotiation that were taking place.  After a few years when the attempts to reach across the aisle were slapped away—there was frustration that I did not move from my position—or that I carried my position further to the right.  That is by strategy.  That same strategy is at play on a larger scale by the Tea Party and the evidence could be seen rather clearly at the 2014 Superbowl.  The patriotism is an appeasement by the statists, crony capitalists, diabolical socialists, and other collectivist organizations to cover themselves in the American flag even as they have built their lives around tearing it apart or disrespecting it.  Their desire to prove that they too are patriotic is driven by the social pressure to answer the criticisms of the Tea Party.

Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are enormously popular on the radio dial, and Bill O’Reilly—who considers himself patriotic and was the Fox representative handling a difficult President Obama interview before the Superbowl–set the stage for the evening at 4:30 PM on a Sunday afternoon.  All those characters are considered “patriotic” and have large followings.  The Tea Party is certainly larger than the listening audience of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck but both commentators could be argued to provide daily sustenance for the movement.  Many Tea Party types listen to both radio hosts during the day—and those numbers are upwards of 15 million.

Advertising agencies cannot ignore these hidden statistics.  There is a very large demographic base that considers themselves very patriotic—who listen to Beck, Limbaugh and O’Reilly daily.  There are many more who lean to the right of those entertainers like Alex Jones, Wayne Allyn Root and even writers like me who go further down the rabbit hole of conservativism—self reliance, and personal independence.  Relatively few people consider themselves New York progressives or Los Angeles latte sippers—the appeal of those places is not what it used to be.  Most people between those cities have an inkling of what conservativism is—and it’s not what the Grand Ol’ Party is serving up.

So the entertainment culture is on the defensive—they are trying to prove to Middle America that they are good people who want what’s best for The United States.  But their actions say otherwise.  That is why it is important for the Tea Party to keep moving the goal posts further to the right.  Without question this will cause resentment, but it will also help make the world a better place by not allowing unchecked statists to wave American flags over their heads while they screw us all behind our backs.  Their behavior is the same as the guy who cheats on his wife then tells his wife—“I love you.”  If a man will cheat on his wife, he’ll cheat on his country even when he declares love for both.  His actions speak more loudly than just the cosmetic appearances of patriotism.  A multi-million dollar Superbowl commercial can’t make someone patriotic.  Just like Robert Redford’s appearance in the new Captain America film does not erase his long past with socialist and left-leaning radicals.  He’s just an actor playing a part just like most everyone else in the Superbowl, including Michelle and Barack Obama.

The Tea Party goal posts are proving effective.  Public sentiment is changing for the better—ever so subtly.  But that sentiment cannot be met half-way.  The Tea Party does not need to come off their position to continue the progress.  All that is needed is to remain steadfast and let everyone else come to the Tea Party position.  There is no reason to sacrifice, negotiate, or “compromise” with those statist oriented idiots.  They are in the minority, they are wrong, and they are obligated to right themselves—not for the rest of us to shed away bits of ourselves to make them feel better about their mistakes they have made in their lives.  By holding true, the Tea Party may save the world yet—and a lot of the people living upon it.   But compromise won’t get the job done.
