Cliffhanger as a Gift: Evil beyond the tesseract

Christmas presents are more about what people you care about think of you than so much in what you get. For instance, one of my daughters’s bought me two extremely rare Joseph Campbell books that are beyond treasures. They are literary classics that are difficult to find in rare book stores in places like New York, let alone Ohio. But using Amazon.com, she was able to get her hands on them and give them to me—which I will devour. My other daughter bought me a simple Jurassic Park t-shirt that is vintage from the 90s which is simple enough.   For whatever reason, I never bought one in the 90s, and would have loved to have one. I almost bought one while at Universal Studios but didn’t quite get around to it. So she bought me one for Christmas this year—because she knows that I want one, but that so many other things usually get in the way that I just didn’t get around to it for myself—like the Campbell books. So my kids took care of me. But the best present I received this year is actually for the first time something I created. It is a written character I created over a decade ago and my wife has been gently prodding me to return to. Now that I have with the series of stories called The Curse of Fort Seven Mile she rewarded me with the newly embroidered pull-over seen below with the simple name of Cliffhanger stitched across it.image

The reason for her encouragement is due to the fact that my intentions for Cliffhanger are epic, he is a hero unlike any ever created in literature or mythology at any point in the human drama. He is on a scale that is epic, more so than the Biblical characters such as Noah who was chosen by God to survive as mankind was wiped clean by a wrathful Yahweh. Cliffhanger is not David from the same book who haphazardly brings down the giant Goliath only to become a king that can’t keep his pants on getting himself into trouble in a sexual context due to his buckling under the reigns of power. Cliffhanger is not Moses who must flee Egypt and the Pharaoh. Rather than part the Red Sea to escape into the wilderness, Cliffhanger would stop and fight every one of the soldiers seeking his destruction—so in that regard and many others he is the strongest literary character ever put into a story and my wife thinks that the world is in desperate need of him. So when she learned that I was returning to that character in my artistic work, she was very happy which was reflected in my Christmas present.

But it’s no small order, let me say that. Human beings have been conditioned to accept that nothing on earth is perfect. This trend has been established by our religions to hold us tethered to control by the deities of mythology. Even our heroes are flawed flesh that is destined to return to God by means beyond the design of the human race. We are taught to accept fate—not to make it. The trouble is, when we approach problems in such a manner from budget concerns to psychological family issues, we are always looking for someone else to solve our problems instead of ourselves which often means, we never reach a solution. We spend our days praying for some supernatural aid to help us, and most of the time it never does leaving us either feeling dejected, or unworthy of the grace of Gods.

So to write about a character that is inwardly empowered and self-reliant to such a measure that he does not reject the values of religion but does not surrender to passivity either is a very delicate balance that can be extremely difficult. To create a character in this day and age who does not fear anything—anything at all—yet to be compelling in a narrative is a particularly difficult hat trick. To be a superhero without any superpowers but a highly developed intellect might otherwise be a recipe for youthful rejection. But, as my wife and I have talked about many times for many years, the world needs new heroes as the old ones have either been killed and slaughtered, or are failed people who eventually let us down. The world needs to see a character who does not fall, surrender, or react out of fear so that they can see what it looks like—and take a step in human development that has been placed before us for a long time but not yet acted upon.

In Islam there is a reason that they don’t allow criticism of their Quran characters—it’s because they are all terribly flawed and if people actually considered the quality of the characters that they were sacrificing their lives for, they would have second thoughts. So the religion requires non-thinking so that followers can believe in the flawed prophet Muhammad, the vengeful Allah, or the pacifist participant of his own life in following orders to a fault in Abraham. These flawed traits are bred into our human nature by the mythologies which form our religions and they lead us as a society to perpetual war and doom—stifled with intellectual stagnation. Cliffhanger is intended to step beyond those limits.

But its one thing to think something, it’s another to make it real, to flesh it out in a story that interacts with other characters which challenges the premise. I felt good in doing that in The Symposium of Justice where Cliffhanger was introduced. But I had only touched the tip of the tip of an ice . I wanted a character so strong and so powerful that his greatest challenge was in standing against the real villains of the universe, those beings from an ultra advanced future civilization that can step across space and time to manipulate through disguise and dreams our present civilization through subtle means. Because here is the quandary of our times, all time and its events are occurring at the same time, the expansion of the universe as an entity is still a measurement made within the dimension of time—so the reason and cause of it is still a mystery because more information is needed to contemplate it—which is missing unless the additional dimensions of quantum law are considered—those beyond time. And civilizations that advance to the ability to use entire solar systems—and galaxies for their energy hundreds of billions of years from now are still anxious about their role in the universe and their need to move beyond it—as the universe is not infinite, but doomed to destruction as well within billions of years. So what’s beyond the universe? Well to discover it, or find a way to last long enough as beings to find out, those advanced cultures have their own insecurities and fights for power. But their war is not so literal, but more passive aggressive because of their advanced state. So they journey back and forth through time and space manipulating the past to affect the far distant future. It is not ancient aliens out there more advanced than we who have always been causing human beings trouble; it is a further developed ghost of ourselves using quantum physics to manipulate our time to benefit theirs. How better to wipe out a future political rival than to just eliminate their bloodline `from millions of years in the past by entering their dreams and lives as a parasitic entity hell-bent on destroying them with temptations of intoxication, adultery, and other reckless living.

The more I read about the gods and goddesses of mythology, which I’ve done a lot and continue on each year, the more this tesseract idea of fifth, sixth and seventh dimensional villains seems valid. So to defeat such creatures there is only one way—and that is a new hero not bound to terrestrial limitations—and evolution of the human being that is well beyond anything yet created who isn’t just roaming the earth fighting evil, sex trafficking, drug distribution, political upheavals, and all manners of human terror—but to fight against the manipulators of history itself, those outside of the living world who step across millions of years of evolution like steps from one level of a house to another. Because evil, as we define it in the context of our own lives is a big entity which encompasses the universe as a whole and to defeat it requires a new kind of hero—not one with super powers, or even the grace of some God like the womanizing slug Zeus, but a human being that has grown more than human to the eternal well of life essence which our bodies simply catch through living bodies so that the root of evil can be explored properly, and identified by a clueless, busy audience.

That is the task, and why my wife has encouraged me to the effort. So for Christmas while I dive down that deep well of difficult scholarship to bring to the surface a story which covers that enormity my wife gave me a reminder of how that character of Cliffhanger should be emblazoned with memory. It is one thing to wear such an emblem that is created by others, but in this case, Cliffhanger can come from nowhere else, and by seeing such a creation, it is a reminder to me of how important such a character can be to the emerging world mythology. The only restriction is the difficult task of telling those stories from a place deep in the gut where they reside. And her Christmas present will help me greatly. That is the benefit of Christmas and a wife who understands how difficult, and important the task is.

The Nights Before Christmas: White House guilt in the IRS targeting of conservative groups

Shhhhhhhhh, do you hear that dear reader?  SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.  It’s a few nights before Christmas and not a creature is stirring…………..not even a mouse.  Instead, they are all huddled together in the cracks of society planning what to do next.  If you listen carefully you can hear them making their plans at damage control.  Did you wonder why Obama suddenly showed courage and support for Hollywood in the face of North Korean aggression when he had blamed an anti-Muslim video for the whole Bengahzi incident?  And could the timing of the Cuban deal have come months before, or several months later—instead of right now.  And how about the executive orders in favor of amnesty?  SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, listen carefully.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released a report Tuesday that found the Obama White House turned the IRS into a political organization that has spent years attacking conservative groups.  Yet with all the noise surrounding Christmas, the 18 trillion-dollar debt, the Korean crises, the Cuban crises, the Chinese crises, the declining Russian economy, the parade of scandals following the Obama White House like tin cans chained to a beat up car hosting newlyweds after a shotgun wedding, the race wars in America, the plummeting gas prices, there just isn’t any room in people’s minds for the most important news item of them all—how the government from the very top used the IRS as a personal weapon to attack political rivals so that their regime could stay in power during the 2012 election.  Here’s some of what the report said:

“The Internal Revenue Service has compromised its traditional position as an independent tax administrator,” the report found. “The IRS’s inability to keep politics out of objective decisions about interpretation of the tax code damaged its primary function: an apolitical tax collector that Americans can trust to treat them fairly.”

The report indicated that improper IRS activities began with a 2010 comment from President Barack Obama, who said some of the Tea Party groups were being funded with corporate money, and “we don’t know where this money is coming from.” That criticism was prompted by Democratic reactions to the Citizens United case in the Supreme Court, which many Democrats blamed for allowing the wealthy to pour more money into campaigns.

Five days after Obama spoke in 2010, former IRS official Lois Lerner spoke at Duke University and said many wanted the IRS to “fix the problem.”

“The pressure to ‘fix the problem,’ as articulated by Lois Lerner, originated with President Obama and senior party leadership,” the report found. “For twenty-several months, from February 2010 until May 2012, the Internal Revenue Service systematically targeted conservative tax-exempt applicants for additional scrutiny and delay.”

“As prominent Democratic politicians and the media condemned conservative non-profit groups, the IRS sought ways to rein in the groups’ political speech,” the report found. “Lois Lerner initiated a ‘c4 project’ — careful to ensure that it was not ‘per se political’ — and called applications filed by Tea Party groups “very dangerous” because she believed that they could undo existing IRS limits on non-profit political speech.”

That led to additional scrutiny of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. The report said that while a few groups were targeted with the words “progress” or “progressive” in their title, almost all were conservative-leaning organizations.

The decision to target conservative groups was followed by later decisions to cover it up, and blame lower level workers for the initiative.

The report also blamed Obamacare, which gave the IRS a key role in implementing Obama’s health program, for turning the IRS into an arm of the White House, when it should have remained independent.

“Evidence shows an IRS responsive to the partisan policy objectives of the White House and an IRS leadership that coordinates with political appointees of the Obama administration,” it found.

It said efforts to cover up the scandal were ultimately led by Obama himself. Obama initially said the IRS’s actions were inexcusable, but later said there was not a “smidgen of corruption” at the IRS.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/12/22/report-blames-obama-white-house-for-turning-the-irs-into-a-political-weapon/

 

Yet there’s a good bet that the report will be largely ignored.  Most of the premier newscasters are on vacation using replacements to fill the airtime while everyone has their eyes on the Christmas Holiday and time with families.  The story will likely die on the vine as everyone is thinking about everything but the IRS.  Even those who do watch the news over the holiday season do not give it much weight as their minds are heavily encumbered with social obligations—and that is all by design.  Obama and his White House simply overloaded the news cycle with news bits with such density that most people’s heads would simply explode if they tried to take it all in.

So punishment for the IRS crime and the “smidgen” of evidence pouring in from the White House will go unpunished.  When the senate released their report about the waterboarding torture conducted by the CIA under the Bush administration—the entire news cycle covered the story even as Paul Gruber was testifying on the Hill about the deceptions that helped Obamacare get passed as a new tax because Americans were too stupid to notice—his words.  But regarding the White House aggression in using the IRS as a personal political weapon next to nothing will be said, even on Fox News because all the heavy hitters are on vacation and by the time they come back in January, there will be new things to talk about and the IRS story will be old hat—and uninteresting.

But the proof that the White House was involved from the very start of the scandal is there.  You just have to listen very closely to hear it.  SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.  Do you hear it now?  Good, so can I..  Now, what do you want to do about it?

The Liberalized Hollywood Bubble Has Burst: Sony Studio leaks prove it so

 I don’t think the worse thing that came out of the recent Sony movie studio controversy is leaks of oncoming projects and what they personally think of the talent working under their financial backing. The worst thing is that it has confirmed everything I have been saying for five years about the situation in Hollywood and where it’s going—which is downhill fast. There are some wonderful projects on the horizon like Star Wars, new Godzilla films, and comic book adaptations but Hollywood is facing a massive black hole for which it will not survive. Ten to fifteen years out from now, Hollywood will be a memory—evaporating into dust collapsing under its own weight. To begin to understand why listen to George Lucas explain it to Charlie Rose below. Then check the links after the video to see what types of things Sony had leaked and what it says in support of my next assertions.

http://www.blastr.com/2014-12-14/sony-leaks-reveal-other-studios-plans-x-men-fantastic-four-aquaman

 

Whether it is the opinions of studio executives that Angelina Jolie is a spoiled brat, or that the new James Bond picture needs to have more twists and turns at the end one thing is clear—the studio execs at Sony are dreadfully out of touch with what audiences want and they mask that ignorance with haughty Hollywood statesmanship—which might sound wonderful around a dinner conversation but won’t deliver a billion dollar multi national box office film to theaters. And with the prevailing union wages attached to the entertainment industry coupled with the ability of independents to compete directly with technology–the business model of Hollywood just does not hold up much longer—so enjoy it while you still can.

Hollywood executives as George Lucas said are not creative people and have no business trying to manage creative endeavors. If they want to be the money men, then they should place their bets and shut up resuming their latté sipping at Santa Monica Pier.  But when they resort to calling their talent names and trying to inject their opinions into a franchise like James Bond which has been around forever—they are setting themselves up for extinction—which is exactly where it’s going.

 

Star Wars is not new. Jurassic Park is not new. The Avengers is not new, neither is Batman, Superman, Spiderman, or the Hulk. None of it is new—Hollywood is simply tapping into material already loved and created—just like James Bond to live for another business quarter until the expenditures finally exceed the investment. There were a lot of movies in 2014 that lost money, the total box office is down 4.7% from 2013 numbers and that trend will continue. It is likely that the Ridley Scott film Exodus will lose money over the Holiday 2014 season as the final Hobbit film will soak up what is remaining in ticket sales for the fiscal year. Exodus would have to have strong sales for the next three weeks to make back its domestic take and that just isn’t going to happen—especially since the early word in religious circles is that the movie is too secular for them as opposed to the numbers seen by The History Channel’s Bible. Again, neither the Bible movies nor the Hobbit films are new—they have been around for a long time—they are not original productions coming from Hollywood and that is a really dangerous thing to an industry that is so dependent on fiscal increases at the box office every single year forever. In this case, forever never comes and by the time Star Wars has run its course in 2020, as well as the Marvel movies—there is nothing left in the tank that can drive the kind of numbers needed to make movies these days.

It doesn’t help that the executives at companies like Sony are as clueless as a rock under a car tire about how to make a good movie—then are arrogant enough to actually put their opinions in an email. They should kiss the feet of Angelina Jolie, she is beautiful, smart, and knows how to speak to the media—which is a lot more than the executives bring to the table. She drives me crazy with her endorsement of the U.N. and Brad Pitt her husband the actor flirting with socialism as a government means to solving problems—but they are generally good people who make generally good movies routinely. They can at least tell a story.

 

So it really doesn’t matter what came out in the leaks from Sony because they are already a dying company. With people like that in their leadership—they are finished. Their new James Bond film sounds terrible as they have moved away from the confident swagger of Sean Connery into a sensitive and troubled “modern man.” I mean who wants to watch James Bond get tortured again and again—if he was such a superspy, he’d avoid those kinds of problems—but the writers are out of ideas and it shows.

So Hollywood is doomed—they just don’t know it yet. Only very rarely does a film like Interstellar come along and people like Christopher Nolan will have individual success at the box office for a number of years into the future, but as an industry, the movie business is set for its own reboot—and they will only have themselves to blame. They were warned—but they did not listen.

What is Waterboarding: The cost of John McCain’s pacifism

 

An MMA fighter who is kind of typical young kid who leans in the direction of progressive education gave a demonstration shown below of what waterboarding looks like and described the feeling it invoked in him. With all the protests of torture from the CIA that has been released lately from the political left, the example by this young guy was interesting as his point was to prove how terrible the torture technique was. What it actually did was show how silly it was and made me wonder how hardened criminal terrorists broke so easily—even after two or three days of such torture. It looked pretty soft to me—compared to the kind of torture that actual terrorists conduct against Americans and others in the free world. Just as the CIA report came out which cost $40 million dollars produced by senate Democrats the terrorists of ISIS put out an offer for the body of James Foley in exchange for a million dollars. Of course, without the head they cut off as an act of terrorism broadcast to the world. Compared to the terrorists of ISIS, the waterboarding torture techniques looked pretty soft. Just hold your breath during the soakings and force them to bring harm to you which would allow a law suit for violation of the Geneva Convention later—and a hardened terrorist could last days if they really had the resolution. Foley didn’t have the option—and many like him. Yet liberals continue to empower evil with their cries for inaction in the face of maniacal villains.

http://nypost.com/2014/12/11/isis-wants-1m-for-james-foleys-headless-body/

That is assuming that a terrorist actually has rights to be considered. American torture for aims protecting the interests of capitalism and freedom throughout the world are nowhere near as severe as those of global terrorists—yet the political left, mainly those of mainstream Democrats believe that pacifism is the means to dealing with aggression. They are wrong.

To many cultures throughout the world good and bad, right and wrong are relative to perspective. To the terrorists of the Middle East, they have a legitimate beef regarding the Sykes–Picot agreement; however they do not have a right to impose that frustration on individual liberty. When they use confiscated individual suffering to invoke collective sympathy, they cross the line and become evil—just as Europe was evil in screwing the Arabs out of their land after World War I. But the continued anxiety about such things become no different from the Ferguson riots who use race tensions as an excuse to bust windows and create havoc. The Middle East terrorists today just use Sykes-Picot as an excuse to cut off heads, rape women, and steal property—under the disguise of a freedom fighter. The political left, unable to determine values, simply look at the wrongs of Sykes-Picot and declares that America should be punished for supporting Europe after World War I and that any suffering inflicted against the imperialist nation should be taken without question. It is the same logic when dealing with race relations, or the behavior of the government against the American Indian—the United States is always assumed to be wrong regardless because the left sees the country as an imperialist power that should be brought down by any means possible. So America can never do anything right in their eyes because it was built on capitalist enterprise.

Young people like that MMA fighter have been raised in public schools to believe in left leaning political theory and it takes a while for them to mature away from it into their late 30s and 40s until life finally tells them that waterboarding is too good for most terrorists—especially ones who helped cause the creation of the TSA. Air travel in America has been a pain in the ass since—so waterboarding doesn’t create enough pain to justify the enormous inconvenience that terrorists have brought to American lives. Waterboarding is a form of torture, but so is dealing with the TSA. Terrorists wanted to take away American freedoms with their acts of aggression, and they were successful. Yet the political left believes that nobody should pay for those crimes because they were done against America—and to their minds—America has to pay for the crimes of its creation.

The political left uses the same logic that the Palestinians have against Israel when they argue that the Gaza strip was always their land and they will never stop trying to destroy Israel until they regain it. Yet the value that Israel brings to the region through its capitalist endeavors is quite a benefit to the region. Their irrigation systems are technical and quite enterprising compared to the communist driven hatred behind the politics of the Palestinians. Just across the border from Israel is an armpit of poverty because the region has failed to embrace capitalism and is force feeding their people collectivism and are angry at the result. So they take that anger out toward nations that show them how backward their cultures really are—and use that frustration and hatred to justify their foolishness. They brew that hatred until there is no longer any rational discussion and terrorists seek to impose collective will against individuals.

To defend individual liberty the CIA took to a soft means of torture in waterboarding to keep the terrorist cells of radicals on their heels and out of the lives of Americans. And for that the political left is offended—so much so that they’d waste $40 million dollars on a one-sided report on the same day that Jonathan Gruber was grilled before congress for his role in the Obamacare debacle. The pattern is obvious—and the terrorists are always crazed lunatics from the Middle East.

The worst terrorists of all are those pacifists who declare that America should be punished just for existing, and that any attempt to fight back against terrorism is futile—and unjust. To keep people from inflicting pain against the United States in the mind of the liberal left is to prevent the punishment that America deserves to receive as a capitalist country who dares to spread freedom across the world as a beacon of light to individual achievement. The torture method used by America could be making terrorists play video games—and the left would still call it unjust. There is no way to appease their temperament because they are in league with the enemies of the United States.

Waterboarding has been made out to be so severely unjust and those who live in a bubble of intellectual curiosity might believe it vacant of perspective. But the reality of the matter is that those who are declaring such injustice are rooting for the other team—and do not like America. In the case of Senator John McCain, he has come out against waterboarding and the CIA report as a Republican who was a former POW who was tortured himself—so he has a soft spot for the behavior. I feel sorry for his experience, and his opinion. As a pacifist, he lost his presidential election attempt in 2008 to Barack Obama because he was a pacifist and refused to attack his opponent in the manner that might have prevented the epic dept of over $18 trillion dollars that we currently have. His pacifism cost America dearly—just as those who cry out against the CIA for their waterboarding methods do the same in empowering terrorists throughout the world to shoot bullets while we are supposed to throw wadded up paper in return. It’s a preposterous proposal, yet it remains an escalating mantra that becomes louder with each Republican who flees to their offices and shuts their door to controversy. The left has sided with America’s enemies, and they require a system of no value judgment to continue their insurrection—and for that to happen fully, they have to disarm the CIA so that their radical loons can further penetrate American governance so that finally without struggle the imperial power of capitalism will topple forever leaving the world with socialism as the new guiding light.

Trey Gowdy’s Symposium: Establishing proper managment systems

 We always hear from radical left-winged protestors that “this is what democracy looks like” as they chant in mass over a particular issue—whether it is police shootings in Ferguson, union pensions, or that Breaking Bad is moving to a new night. But seldom do we get to see what proper government management looks like. So it was quite enjoyable to watch congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina apply proper management methods to the Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber. Gruber had been caught talking about how Obamacare was passed by a Democrat controlled congress and senate through deceitful means, so Gowdy had an obligation to apply some force to the matter in articulating the crime and mismanagement of taxpayer resources.

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2014/12/09/watch-trey-gowdy-verbally-pummel-obamacare-architect-jonathan-gruber-n1929573

Every city council meeting should look like the way Trey Gowdy conducted his interrogation of Gruber. Every school board meeting, every trustee meeting, every gathering of government managing of tax payer resources should look like Growdy in congress. It is not the job of politicians to be liked, it is not their job to pander and get along with a consensus—it is their job to manage—and that’s it.

Of course unpopular politicians tend not to get re-elected, so that is part of the problem for the typical attention seekers who desire public office. But they should at a bare minimum attempt to behave as Gowdy did in the hearings over Obamacare. Of course the current congress has no stomach for actual management—just tough talk—but it’s a start. The congress has an obligation to not fund Obamacare especially after the Gruber testimony. But such a position in modern Washington is considered radical and Republicans won’t walk into the touchy-feely trap that Democrats have set to snare them in the court of public opinion—so they won’t do anything “tough” with Obamacare except talk.

Without management of resources you get run away budgets—just like what is found at virtually every public school dominated by radical labor unions were overwhelmed school board members lay down to be run over by left-leaning radicals who advocated collective bargaining agreements without any management opposition to keep them in check. But on each one of those school boards should be people like Trey Gowdy to provide an equal opposition to the radical nut cases who declare large sums of money with no oversight but only tax increases every five years.

The goal of every government body should be to create surpluses with the same voracity that corporations seek profits. Money saved is money made so no government should look at a budget surplus and think of new ways to pass out money to potential voters. And any government that hires consultants, like public schools often do to find ways to deceive voters into higher taxes deserve to be grilled the way Jonathan Gruber was by Trey Gowdy. Gruber was paid millions of tax payer dollars for discovering a means to deceive them with Obamacare—and the people who made those decisions mismanaged the money under Gruber’s charge. The only way to prevent such abuse is with management of resources in the manner the Gowdy provided.

The sad condition of our modern times is that Gowdy is looked at as an exceptional case—and not the norm. By those who wish to perpetrate a con against the taxpayer, of course Gowdy is hated. He is paid as a congressman to be hated—not loved. If a manager of any kind is loved by everyone, they are not doing their jobs. So it is a compliment for a manager to be called names and to have quibbles said about them behind their backs or by organized masses seeking collective efforts. If such a thing occurs, the politician is doing their jobs.

Many felt pride at Trey Gowdy’s grilling of Gruber because they instinctively understand the value of the exchange. Gruber a once arrogant government despot was reduced to admitting that he had been an ostentatious fool seeking to take advantage of the system for his own ideological and financial gain. Gruber’s strategy was to throw himself on the sword, take his millions of looted tax payer dollars and go into hiding with his loot. He was willing to sacrifice the self-respect he had gained within progressive academic circles for the stolen wealth he had acquired during the Obamacare fraud. So he declared foolishness and took the beating.

But imagine that there wasn’t a beating for Gruber—where would there have been any justice? Gruber without Gowdy would have disappeared into the sunset a progressive hero wealthy and wise. At least now, because of Gowdy, Gruber is only wealthy off stolen money—at least he had to endure some punishment—even if it’s just verbal.

Not everyone is capable of management—but for those who are—management provides a hedge against the despots of looting inclination. Without management there is no protection from the forces seeking to attack value—that is why communism and socialism seeks to make management the villain in their philosophy. That is also why labor unions make management into villains—because they want open access to the wealth of a corporation so that they can exploit it for all the worth—just as Gruber did. So we cheer on Trey Gowdy for his management chastisement of Gruber because we wish it was more commonplace. Not to mention that the mass conspiracy conducted right out in the open as Democrats released the controversial CIA report against the Bush administration on the same day that Gruber was dissected by Gowdy—hoping to take the edge off the government deceit that is Obamacare—there is much more management that needs to be done on behalf of tax payer resources.

Government is filled with many more people like Jonathan Gruber. In fact, most of the Washington D.C. wealthy suburbs are filled with government looters just like him. Without people like Trey Gowdy there is no resistance to their bottomless needs of tax payer funded lifestyles. There is no management of revenue taken in by the federal government under force and the distribution of that vast wealth—but to surrender it to the diabolical menaces who make careers out of politics for the purpose of creating personal wealth in ways they could never do under any other means. Without management, there is nothing that stands in the way of crime and justice. At least when it comes to the words spoken by Gowdy—at least we know Gruber will lose something due to his corruption and arrogance. Not enough—but at least it’s something.

Cover-up at Newark: Deliberatly poor planning to destroy evidence at America’s greatest earthworks

imageIt was utterly disgusting to finally have the opportunity to tour the Newark Earthworks which I had been trying to squeeze into my schedule for many years. However, a shopping trip to the Longaberger Basket complex outside of Newark, Ohio provided the opportunity I had been reading about in archaeology books for years. I had read that the complex was mostly destroyed by housing developments, but I wasn’t sure how much or to what extent. I assumed that I would be visiting a site that was as well-preserved as Serpent Mound, Ohio was—but that was far from the case.

The Newark Earthworks are likely some of the most important gazes into the distant past of an advanced culture that had a vast empire centered in the Ohio Valley during the long Archaic Period—predating the Adena and Hopewell Indians. Likely it was those better known tribes who occupied structures like the Newark complex and built their own societies and mythologies around what came before them. Also likely was the fact that many of these Archaic Period empire inhabitants were extremely tall people—as lofty in stature as a typical NBA basketball player is today—and in many cases taller.image

They built at Newark a vast complex that was many miles in circumference that has similar mathematical formulas incorporated into it as the Egyptian pyramids of Giza—so there is something deeply interesting at the Newark site. Also at the site were found among the many relics Phoenician writing—at least pre-Hebrew in origin which indicates that there was at a bare minimum trade with the Middle East at a time well before the Hopewell Indians knew how to put on a bear costume and do a dance around a fire to invoke the joy of the spirits making noises of nonsense.

So I visited the site and was astonished at what I saw. If I did not have a very good idea of politics and how the internal workings of zoning operated, I might only be disappointed at what I found at Newark. But as I traveled the burnt out neighborhoods that were built recklessly, and intentionally between the present day Newark state park and the golf course which now incorporates one of the most significant archaeological sites on planet earth—I saw the evidence of a deliberate destruction of this American pre-history by the social hierarchy of the towns Heath and Newark. Likely the first issue they had with the site was that it challenged their religious premise of European Christian superiority and rival religion desecration was their motive in the destruction of the Newark Earthworks. Even worse was the desire to suppress the large bones of a tall people who wrote messages in an ancient text predating the Bible that caused them to zone the property in a way that allowed for the construction of entire neighborhoods on top of the extremely significant archaeological site to destroy forever the evidence that of a culture in America which actually had more technical savvy than the present one migrating westward.

The Newark Earthworks in Newark and Heath, Ohio, consists of three sections of preserved earthworks: the Great Circle Earthworks, the Octagon Earthworks, and the Wright Earthworks. This complex contained the largest earthen enclosures in the world, being about 3,000 acres in extent. Today, the site itself covers 206 acres. The site is preserved as a state park by the Ohio Historical Society. It has been designated a National Historic Landmark. In 2006, Newark Earthworks was also designated as the “official prehistoric monument of the State of Ohio.”[2]

In addition, this is part of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, one of 14 sites nominated in January 2008 by the U.S. Department of the Interior for potential submission by the United States to the UNESCO World Heritage List.[3]image

In 1982 researchers from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana concluded that the complex was a lunar observatory, designed to track motions of the moon, including the northernmost point of the 18.6-year cycle of the lunar orbit. The moon then rises within one-half of a degree of the octagon’s exact center. The earthwork is twice as precise as the complex at Stonehenge (assuming Stonehenge is an observatory, which is a disputed theory).[4]

From 1892 to 1908, the state of Ohio used the Octagon Earthworks as a militia encampment. Immediately after this, the Newark Board of Trade owned the property, until 1918. In 1910, they leased the property to Mound Builders Country Club (MBCC), which developed the site as a golf course. As a result of a Licking County Common Pleas Court case, a trustee was named to manage the property from 1918 to 1933.[4]

In 1997 the Ohio Historical Society signed a lease until 2078 with the country club. MBCC maintains, secures, and provides some public access to the land. Some citizens believe the country club is an inappropriate use of the sacred site. There has been increasing public interest in the earthworks. Activists have pressed for more public access to the site to witness the moonrise, whose observance was planned in the construction by the original native builders.[4]

Observatory Mound, Observatory Circle, and the interconnected Octagon span nearly 3,000 feet (910 m) in length.

After seeing the condition of the Newark site I threw up my hands in frustration after trying to trace the vast avenue connecting the Great Circle Earthworks and the Octagon Earthworks through a neighborhood filled with despots and broken down welfare recipients. The condition of the people in that neighborhood was just that above the station of homeless people—and it looked to me to be done on purpose by the management of the community’s construction. My wife and I planned to find the Alligator Mound nearby but after seeing on Google Earth how a neighborhood had been built around it too—we just left and went to her shopping excursion. I was angry and done with the place. It was obvious to me what happened and it made me sick.

Outside the parameter of the Great Circle Earthworks, which is a magnificent structure of its own, is a carved statue of a shaman dressed in a bear costume—supposedly created after a Hopewell artifact found at the site as if to declare that the shaman was the master of ceremonies at the Newark site. That was revisionist history at its finest as that shaman likely had no direct connection to the construction of the site. He was obviously a second-hander to the Newark Earthworks just as the people who built the golf course on top of the Octagon portion were. The golf course builders just wanted to show they had a superior culture to the previous race so they built on top the previous culture’s “holy” spot—much the way Islamic radicals like to build mosques over the former temples of their enemies—to desecrate the memory. The archaeology that proved who actually built the Newark Earthworks was destroyed—on purpose by the building of those neighborhoods and RT 79 right though the middle of the Newark site. I have never seen a more obvious attempt at revisionist history than the Newark complex. The decisions by city leaders at the time were obvious—to erase the traces of an advanced culture because they needed to believe that the cultures inhabiting America were savages and not in competition to their own religions—or intellect. In much the same way that modern progressives use racism to perpetuate social change, the destroyers of the Newark site needed to believe that the makers of the Earthworks were savages—and not a rival empire who had technological knowledge well ahead of European conquest—including trade with the East and West thousands of years before Columbus ever sailed across the Atlantic.image

Looking at the towns of Heath and Newark from the air there is plenty of land to the east and west of the Newark Earthworks location—even to the south. There was absolutely no reason to build so many developments around the well-documented ruins of the Newark Earthworks. But what happened was that pre-Hebrew writing was turning up at the site so city leaders zoned the area for construction to erase it from memory—which is what they did. What remains today is a slum from the Great Circle Earthworks to the Octagon. The relics from the Archaic Period have been destroyed and wiped away forever—and the reason was deliberate desecration through zoning and religious fanaticism. Absolutely pathetic—the intent was to conceal the truth—that a rival race of large people who had knowledge that Americans wouldn’t reach until halfway through the twentieth century about some things—and still are unraveling the mysteries of others. The people from the Archaic Period already knew much about the cosmos and the way gravity worked through points on earth—and for leaders insecure about their place in the world—they couldn’t have that knowledge getting out—so they erased it out of spite and insecurity. The Newark Earthworks were erased through “progress” just as the modern progressive hopes to do the same with the American Constitution. The desecration and methods of achievement are one and the same.image

Giants Discoverd in Miamisburg, Ohio: Ross Hamilton’s report on American prehistory

I was more than just a little surprised to find in Ross Hamilton’s very good academic paper, A Tradition of Giants: The Elite Social Hierarchy of American Prehistory that literally in my back yard at the Miamisburg Mound two full skeletons of an ancient race of people standing over 8’ tall was found. I’ve known about the mound for quite a long time, but didn’t think much of it, as I live in the land of mounds. By default, Fort Ancient and Serpent Mound have drawn most of my attention. Even in conventional archaeology book descriptions Miamisburg Mound is not given much fanfare as a relevant archaeological/anthropological memorial. I have done articles about American giants before, largely for fun, but the more research done into this strange phenomena the more obvious there is of a government cover-up on a massive scale and the evidence is legitimately right in America’s back yard in Miamisburg, just a few miles north-east of the Dayton Mall.

imagehttp://www.academia.edu/4693378/A_TRADITION_OF_GIANTS_The_Elite_Social_Hierarchy_of_American_Prehistory

Reading through Hamilton’s paper linked above two entries caught my attention in a big way as stated:

The body of a man more gigantic than any ever recorded in human history has been found in the Miami Valley in Ohio. The skeleton, it is calculated, must have belonged to a man 8’ feet 1 ½” inches in height. It was found within a half mile of Miamisburg in a location which contains many relics of the mound builders. Edward Gebhart and Edward Kauffman discovered it while they were working in a gravel pit…The bones have been placed on exhibition and many are the curious sight seers who have passed in wonder before them…Prof. Thomas Wilson, curator of prehistoric Anthropology, Smithsonian Institute, says of the find: “The authenticity of this skull is beyond any doubt. Its antiquity is unquestionably great though it is impossible to have a good guess as to its age. To my own personal knowledge several such crania were discovered in the Hopewell group of mounds in Ohio.

 

Reading that description it would place the discovery of that skeleton west of the Great Miami River across from the large park that sits between Chautauqua and Miamisburg. The other description was even more jolting. It is as follows:

 

“A pioneer relates that whilst powering in a field adjoining it [the Miamisburg Mound attributed to Adena], he discovered a grave of extraordinary size, which proved by actual measurement to be not less than ten feet in length. Upon one occasion, after a heavy storm had swept over the vicinity, a massive oak tree was up-rooted and from its bed came up a gigantic skeleton complete. Owing to some neglect, however, it was not preserved.”

 

A visit to the mound site will show that on two sides of the mound north and south are ripe areas for the discovery of that giant skeleton. To the south is a neighborhood, to the north it is now a golf course. Looking at the mound it is obvious that one of the goals was to place the burial elements within it at an elevation superior to the surrounding countryside—particualrly to the west where the setting sun dips over the horizon each evening. The point of the mound is at 981 elevation where the high spots across the river to the west peak out at 900 feet. Only to the east near where the I-75 corridor passes through does the elevation increase to 1000. The mound architects were artificially attempting to raise the level of that particular hill-top to surpass the surrounding countryside. Excavation at the mound has been limited and ridiculously reckless. For such a site only a preliminary attempt at understanding was made in 1869 which discovered a skeleton 8 feet from the top which was approximately 68 feet in original height. Then digging down another 36 feet another burial vault was found. Without question, another 30 feet of exploration at any point around the 877 foot circumference would likely produce more skeletons and a much better understanding of what type of civilization lived and constructed such a magnificent human endeavor as the Miamisburg Mound.

 image

It is not enough to stick a plaque in front of the mound memorial site and say that Adena Indians built the site then died off or were pushed out of the area by Indian relocation methods. There is much excavation that needs to be done at the Miamisburg Mound site and there is simply no excuse not to. Nearby University of Dayton could fund such a dig with the proceeds of one Dayton Flyers basketball game, yet nobody even steps forward to try………….why? It’s not like the site in is the Middle East and too difficult to obtain permits from the volatile governments there. It’s not like it would cost a whole summer of travel to a far away land to spend in time and money. This site is within a few miles of the Greene Shopping complex. A dig at the Miamisburg Mound site would be luxurious for any anthropologist, and fairly cheap. So why isn’t it being done? I’ll get into that more with another article that is much more sinister. But for now, I will make this proclamation that I’m absolutely sure many other people know—there is proof of a race of giants under the Miamisburg Mound. Two of the largest skeletons of human beings ever found anywhere in the world have been discovered in the Miamisburg area and a gigantic burial mound shining on a hilltop like a beacon of invitation has not been even remotely explored by modern excavation methods because science already knows what they’ll find there.

When I visited the site over the first full weekend of December 2014 a used condom greeted my boots when I stepped out of my car. I didn’t step on the disgusting relic of some primitive sexual conquest performed in a park devoid of any real interest. As I looked around, the park had built a nice playground and some picnic areas, but had utterly failed to conduct a proper examination of the mound site for nearly 150 years—which is just inexcusable.

So until science can prove otherwise, based on the written and oral traditions of the Miamisburg area—before the government swept in and claimed the area mysteriously for nuclear research—giants were discovered in the area of a previously undocumented race that had technical ability not associated with any known Indian culture. The evidence is likely just a few feet from the playgrounds, the picnic area and the used condom that was in the parking lot during my visit. Just a short shovel depth into the mound likely would prove the assertions of Ross Hamilton’s academic paper. Likely, because the bones are in the Smithsonian log, the government knows what to expect in any excavation attempt into the Miamisburg Mound, and they really don’t want that information getting out. The reason will be the subject of my next article—but for now the evidence of a giant race of people is right in our back yards. All it would take to officially discover them is for us to do a little digging and prepare ourselves for the astonishing truth about our ancient past in America.

Communism is Alive in America: Matt Clark and Rich Hoffman discuss how on WAAM radio

I talk about communism a lot because its influence has migrated deeply into our modern culture. Many, especially on the political left, hope to deny this issue by proclaiming that communism died in 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. They wish to believe that it was a relic of the Cold War and that the word “communism” is no longer a threat to capitalism or the economic power of the United States. Yet as Matt Clark and I stated during a radio segment for his WAAM broadcast in Ann Arbor, Michigan communism is alive and well in 2014. The communist country of China just surpassed America in economic output. The International Monetary Fund recently released the latest numbers for the world economy, and when you measure national economic output in “real” terms of goods and services, China will this year produce $17.6 trillion — compared to $17.4 trillion for the U.S.A. As recently as 2000, America produced nearly three times as much economic output as the Chinese. China now accounts for 16.5% of the global economy when measured in real purchasing power terms, compared to 16.3% for the U.S. How did this happen? Well, to put it mildly—communism—the kind of communism that Matt and I speak about in the following video recorded radio segments. 

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/money/it%e2%80%99s-official-america-is-now-no-2/ar-BBgjXGo

It’s not that the United States doesn’t still have economic power—but much of that power has been purposely suppressed by left-leaning political groups dedicated to the original goals of communism. Also this past week as those economic figures were being released, America passed the $18 trillion mark in national debt—much of those holdings owned by the Chinese. Mismanagement largely a passive-aggressive approach to American capitalism by leftist radicals has created this situation and it has occurred because many in opposition to communism failed to see the insurgency due to their various name changes that have occurred to disguise the advancement of communism throughout the world.

Communism is behind many of the Islamic radicals so popular today—especially the Muslim Brotherhood. Communism is widely at work in many minority neighborhoods—such as has been witnessed in the Ferguson riots. Communism is certainly at work in most public schools. It’s involved in labor unions of every kind including the beloved firefighter’s “international brotherhood.” Anywhere where the key terms of “workers” or “labor” are discussed in a way that makes them sound repressed—the philosophy of communism is at work as it was constructed by Karl Marx in The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital. Whenever the term “middle class” is invoked to stir them about in hopes of revolution—the strategies of communism are at work as they have always been. The only difference is that the names have been changed from communism to progressivism, liberalism or more broadly the Democratic Party. There is no other way to slice it—communism is what it is—it is the collective ownership of property such as private parks, education such as the property tax system we see today with public schools where every member of the community pays for all kids and all kids are beholden—at least in theory—to every member of the community. Communism is Social Security, it’s Obamacare, it’s Medicare. In the current state those conditions they might be best referenced as socialism, but the intent of all those services is to collect wealth from individuals to turn over to the “state” for distribution each according to their need. If a lazy, socially reckless, despot has a need to be given food and shelter because they are too ill prepared in life to take care of themselves, someone who is able is supposed to sustain the sustenance of that lazy individual. The by-product is that people stop producing because they get tired of seeing their efforts confiscated and given to those who don’t even put forth the effort. In today’s public schools the children are the “community’s children” and that ownership is best celebrated by popular Friday night football games where communism as articulated by Marx is very much alive in support of team sports designed to mask the real psychological motive behind a political philosophy rooted in social collectivism—collective ownership of all property—including children.

Likely most people reading this are practicing communists—yet they don’t want to believe that they are participating in such a diabolical scheme. But it’s difficult to stand on one’s own as an individual contributor—communism is much more appealing to the weak at heart and mind. So they changed the names and called anybody who referred to the old name of communism as a tin-hat conspiracy theorist hoping that the diffusion of proper terminology might garner them a few hidden years of concealment into the warm blanket of social safety. It is easy to hide in numbers and what we have going on in America today are a lot of people hiding.

Then quite literally, communist insurgents disguised as progressives, Democrats and earth worshipers have lobbied more regulation against American business to strangle the effect that capitalism has on a free society. It’s not that China is out producing America it is that the United States has been held back so to allow communism to appear to flourish. All the while those same liberal sympathizers have placed America at the feet of China with an impossible debt to recover from in many American lifetimes. Even if America could pay back the debt, the regulations provided by the EPA, FCC, IRS, DOL and the DOJ would destroy the kind of economic activity that would allow for a resurgence of American enterprise so that the $18 trillion could be paid back. There is no intention of paying back that money as it has been spent recklessly on purpose to destroy capitalism and point the ignorant masses toward the great success that is modern—communist—China.

Communism was created in Europe so to pull the governments of that continent under one government rule—and that is still very much the intention. But first they must destroy capitalism wherever it resides. America was a difficult problem for them because it would be hard to convince young people to migrate into communism when capitalism gave them so many wonderful toys to play with—so they had to change their names and apply an indirect approach—which they have through the public education system. This is why so many young people these days lean-to the political left—is because they were taught to by their public schools led by teacher unions radicalized by the old communist talking points to behave that way.

There is absolutely no question that communism is as big of a threat now in 2014 as it was in 1960. It is probably more dangerous now than it was because it has been allowed to function without the proper identification. It has been successfully repackaged by the political left with softer names that are more appealing to the unknowing. Yet for the truth all one need to do is read the work of Karl Marx and the truth will be told. It is communism that is destroying America and it is the masses of Americans raised to be ignorant—and complacent who are helping them do it.

There should be some credit given to Matt for even putting that type of information on the air. It is not a popular thing to do, yet he does it because he knows what’s at stake. If America doesn’t figure out what kind of scam is being placed upon it by forces outside of the country—then the economic situation for the freest country on earth will take a downward spin quickly. Many would argue that it’s already too late. And when that happens people like Matt and I aren’t going to feel the guilt of not telling everyone that we told you so—because we did.

Life as a Conductor: What to be thankful for

We are taught during our educations that we can only be good at one or two things at any given point in our lives, and that we must choose between what is important and what is not. Any idiot who has said these things to you lied—they were vile spinsters of bottomless deceit. They are spinsters not in the usual sense of the sexes and definition of unsanctified matrimony, but in their lack of ability to merge with the heartbeat of life living a unknowing existence driven by ignorance just as the loveless life of a spinster does not know the joy of marital bliss. By default we enter life metaphorically as a musical instrument only able to play the notes of our intellect as our development teaches us to articulate the world around us. When we are teenagers we may develop the complexity of a rock song, able to string together a few musical instruments into a catchy beat. But as we get older, our personal music should become much more complex and dynamic. And if we do things correctly, we should be conducting personal symphonies by the time we are in our middle to elderly years. The notes of our life even down to the smallest subtly should be interwoven into our existence at every level and played as one giant musical number daily. For me at this point in my life, the musical track #13 on the new Interstellar soundtrack reflects my personal level of ability to conduct a personal symphony. The music heard below starts slow but gradually increases to a pitch of very complicated musical compositions including a massive pipe organ that merges from the background music to the forefront, which is very reflective of the type of life I am living. It is a wonderful piece extremely metaphorical—personally.

Success in business should not be shackled by success at home with a family—both are important and there is no reason why you should not be able to get on the floor and play with a grandchild while juggling millions of dollars worth the assets and still articulating important philosophy to adult children. A wife needs love and cannot be neglected do to other interests, but those other interests cannot be neglected by the attention hungry spouse either—just as all music in a complex symphony wants to be heard for the grand fortissimo of their composition. The strings cannot complain that the percussion overwhelms their utterances—it is the conductor’s job to put all those notes at play. It is that step of conductor from simple musician that we must make in our lives if we are to meet the challenges before us as a waking awareness demands.

It was an especially proud moment for me when my grandson said, “OK boss,” when we were playing the other day. That is a term I use with people to let them know I see them as important and that I don’t impose my authority over them in a way that can be seen distracting. I mean it in a respectful way, and I say it to my grandson as a way to show him that his intellect is important and that I am respectful to his awaking knowledge. But as a child with limited instruments to conduct his own symphony with, he can only yet repeat what is said around him as a two-year old. But as we were playing my wife was cooking for Thanksgiving dinner, I was receiving texts from across the world needing answers, and four members of my immediate family have birthdays that desired my ordainment all within a few days of each other. There would be no way to playing all those musical instruments metaphorically speaking with a simply lyrical song such as some rap, or rock beat. Only a symphony is able to pay all those necessities the attention the simultaneously deserve. But to play them it requires a conductor to stand in front of them all and provide direction—leadership, and respect for what they all bring to the table for the composition needed.

For instance, in the Hans Zimmer piece referred, the pipe organ by itself is quite a complex instrument. It could easily be a metaphor for a needy wife or overbearing child that desires exclusive treatment. But to play just organ music when a much more complex piece of music is needed to tell the story of our lives would be to stifle our lives to that limitation, which would be destructive—and corrosive. But you cannot do as many people I know did on the night before Thanksgiving when a symphony was required in their lives to meet all their objectives—you cannot go and get into a drunken state as a declaration of indecision. All the instruments of your life need to be played and they need a conductor to make them work in unison. If things are done correctly, you will become your own personal conductor in a life of music that is enchanting and unique. But if you fail, the many instruments of your life will sit waiting for your direction and without it, they never make a sound—but just sit there rotting.

Most of the hard feelings not talked about around Thanksgiving dinner tables come from this failure to conduct the symphonies of which we all play a part. Some people just don’t feel comfortable with string instruments, or the brass. Some don’t like organ music, some prefer the piano—but the weakness is in not embracing all those elements equally and taking charge as an intellectual conductor who can hear the tiniest note mixed with the most complex fortissimo of full notes in a tight beat. Failure to embrace a full symphony in our lives and instead insist on the simple music of our youth is the source of the tragedy. There is no excuse—“but I’m only one person.” There is only the need of a conductor and the fulfillment of those terms.

I enjoyed Thanksgiving in 2014 because my personal fortissimo was much more complicated than the year before and has progressed that way for over 25 consecutive years, which is a measure I hold in relation to myself. I cannot imagine a more complex piece of personal music to conduct as the one I have performed over the last 24 hours. But I will strive next year to improve upon it as only a conductor can. It is not the job of the conductor to play every instrument in their symphony, just to have an understanding of how to play them all. To do so well takes living life and practicing with all of them—and it takes years to master. But when you do, the music that can be made as a conductor unifying all those elements together can be quite a miracle, and the benefactor of many minds who are directly, or indirectly touched by the music you make. It is possible to be good at many things and to do all those things as the same time. The difference is that we must evolve our musical tastes from the very simple—the tunes of our youth—to the tunes of an adult living a full life as masters of many complex skills played in unison to conduct music only we can for ends specific to our intentions. But we must also do so without expecting the members of our symphony to always be happy just playing instruments for us—but to encourage them to evolve into conductors of their own as their skills flourish.

It is good to encourage the members of our own personal symphonies to be their own boss in due time so that the music that enters the world can evolve into the complex utterances that existence demands without the restriction of excuses and lazy, paranoid, lackluster that would rather bask in drunkenness than to shoulder the responsibility of living life as a conductor for the next grand fortissimo. When I say to people, “OK boss,” it is to get them past the shock of authority so that they can as quickly as possible settle in to conducting their own music the way only they can. It is to step beyond that silly human need to be important by title only—and to step up to the podium and before an awaiting orchestra to begin a tune lead by a conductor who has mastered every instrument and is uniquely positioned to lead them all without pretense.

What am I most thankful to on Thanksgiving—music—the hidden beats of intellects striving to be heard against the cold repression of stoic indifference and fear of the unknown.

Communism in Ferguson: The unstated menace behind violant riots in America

Watch all the videos on this article for the proof of the following text:

They may not call it by name, but much of the behavior rooted in what has become known as black community relations is undoubtedly communist. During the Cold War communist sleeper cells penetrated college campuses and black leadership to inject that vile political philosophy into those communities through a mask of progressivism. Two movements spun off this activity, the counter-culture hippie movement and the various Civil Rights protests advanced by the Black Panthers—not to be confused with the good work of the Republican Martin Luther King. Behind much of that radical behavior in the 60s and 70s was communist insurgency.

During the 80s and 90s the communists changed their names and hid their activity behind labor union policy, black community religion, and progressive politics. Occasionally they called themselves who they were, but generally hid their behavior behind the designation of “alternative.” In most large cities there are always “alternative” newspapers that mostly steer their efforts at college campuses, sexual perverts, and the black community. In St Louis just such a newspaper was called the Revolution and they were actually at the press conference with Governor Jay Nixon prior to the Ferguson grand jury decision. The exchange can be seen at the video below followed by the way The Blaze reported it. If anyone doubted these claims I have made here, and in the past about the influences which have driven black communities all over America into the very poverty they suffer from, this reporter from the Revolution is all the proof needed. Clearly he advocated the very behavior that the people in Ferguson followed as soon as the grand jury decision was made.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was interrupted Monday evening while delivering a press conference ahead of the Ferguson grand jury decision by a supposed journalist with a communist newspaper.

“Excuse, me! Governor Nixon, wouldn’t the lack of an indictment be a justification of police violence and lead to more police violence —,” the man, identified as Larry Evers from the “Revolution” newspaper, said.

“I’ve called on this man first,” interjected Nixon.

However, Evers continued asking his question.

“And if I might ask you, you need to let the alternative press speak here,” he said.

“So wouldn’t a lack of indictment mean fear for black people all over this country and effectively a green light for police violence?” Evers continued. “And second, I would like to pose to you, how you would respond to call by … the Revolution Communist Party that if officer Darren Wilson is not indicted … the country be brought to a halt through energetic, civil disobedience by millions of people.”

Nixon dismissed Evers by saying he did not know the grand jury’s verdict or what the prosecutor was set to announce.

Progressive groups largely in control of the black neighborhoods have exposed their tendency toward social collectivism have for years used them to advocate the spread of communism as Karl Marx always intended. That demographic group has been used as pawns in the intense desire to spread communism through capitalist economies. Most of the protestors in the wake of the Ferguson riots would not call themselves communists, but their social beliefs fall nearly in line with that old collectivist mentality. This is because they were trained to believe in communism without calling those beliefs by the official name—instead it was called “democracy,” or “fairness.” However the underlying beliefs were communism advanced through deceit to exploit a race of people who were already primed for revolution.

People like Larry Evers—the communist reporter are just reminders of how much the “alternative” wing of social politics are manipulating the ignorant and easily swayed toward a revolution of their desire. They will exploit any opportunity, and the Ferguson grand jury announcement was just as good as any. Those who still believe in communism must find reasons to churn up the disenchanted with a level of hate that is driven by a perception of their own creation. For instance, the thugs, goons, and low-life’s who took to the streets to vandalize their community supposedly over outrage that a young black male was shot by a white police officer—immediately targeted the capitalist endeavors in their communities. One of the first targets was the burning down of a Little Casers Pizza place which they will regret terribly in a few weeks when they want a $5 pizza.   Another target was a local Dollar Store along with many other store fronts with an obvious militant attitude against capitalist oriented objectives. The rage toward the police is only a ruse as they have been portrayed to represent the protection of private property for “white, capitalist, America” and the “imperialism that it imposes throughout the world.

One of the primary beliefs of communism is the eradication of private property so that everything is collectively owned. The anger at the police is that one of their prime motives is the protection of private property, so when a mass of protestors want to insult the police, they attack the police ability to provide that security. That is the military objective behind the behavior. For the street thug, they are not aware of this higher strategy, but people like Larry Evers is as he represents the radical far left beliefs. His point in addressing Governor Jay Nixon was to let the public know that communists were present behind the Ferguson riots providing news outlets like CNN, and MSNBC along with USA Today to appear as left-leaning moderates. Once the public accepts that those news outlets are the baseline of belief, then outlets like talk radio, and Fox News look to be as radical as the communists—in the court of public opinion. But, CNN and the like-minded affiliates are slowly percolating the same progressive positions inspired by Cold War communism with gentle nudges in support of the protestors—radicalized on the streets by newspapers written by people like Evers, or reverends in their churches invoking open communism through collective salvation.

Most of America is wondering what the riots are really about because what is being shown doesn’t make logical sense. The reason for the mystery is not racism or even aggressive police work—but in the bringing down of “white” (capitalist) America in favor of a social movement toward mass collectivism. Those radicals don’t care if it is little “C” communism or progressivism—they only care to advance their cause against capitalism—by any means. To understand the Ferguson riots it is only possible to identify the correct forces behind the movement instead of the allegations of racism—which are used to mask it. To understand what is really behind the riots just read Larry Evers or any progressive newspaper in any city in the country and you will see.

For instance this is how the progressive newspaper City Beat in Cincinnati covered the story. City Beat’s approach is to sell itself as everybody’s friend regarding life in Cincinnati. They tell you the highlights of the news, what music is playing where, and what’s the latest and greatest in the art world. But sprinkled into their dialogue are heavy-handed progressive diatribes with a very left-leaning tendency. Click the link below.

Now, I’m sure people with the memory of a shallow stream dried up during a July drought will think that I’m reaching by making such a comparison. For those people the proof is in the link below from that same publication mourning the loss of Mark Mallory as mayor.

City Beat is not as open about their social collectivism as Larry Evers is, but their intent is the same, to stir unrest among the black communities so that protests in their favor will always have a willing army. Every city has these provocateurs, and it is they who keep those poor people impoverished with derelict concepts and faulting thinking. It is the sympathy toward communism that is so implanted in black communities that these progressive newspapers use to churn up their desire for revolution against any symbol of capitalism, whether it is a business, or the police who protect those businesses. A whole society of people have been kept in deliberate ignorance by social reformers like Larry Evers with the intent to use them to advance a social agenda started during the Cold War—which is still alive and well, and very much a threat. The evidence of that threat is the Ferguson riots.

How serious is this situation? Well, read this link and you’ll know the extent.
