The ‘Cold Dead Hand’ Video From Lost Thoughtless Brains: Hypocritical ideas from those “comfortably numb”

The Jim Carrey satire against Charlton Heston, southern culture, and the Second Amendment titled Cold Dead Hands is a blessing in disguise for those of us on the more conservative side of politics.  It is good to see the mind of opponents for what they truly are without the public relations facades that often conceal the true activist nature of the subject in question.  The radical goof balls on the left expect conservatives to take it when they dish out character assassinations, but they don’t expect it in return.  In Carrey’s case he took a shot at a majority of America and their love of freedom guaranteed by The Second Amendment.  The public knows Carrey has made a living off violence in his films, namely his use of guns in the film The Mask and a film career that really got off the ground when he appeared as a drug addict in the fifth Dirty Harry film with Clint Eastwood titled The Dead Pool.  Guns have been good to Carrey, and watching him turn against them speaks openly about the hypocrisy of the left and the current culture of progressive Hollywood and the types of things they believe.  The left will never attack Carrey’s radicalism shown in his video or the disgraceful rendition of asserting that Charlton Heston is trapped in some eternal purgatory because he is still holding onto his guns.  Even when progressive leftists attack members of the conservative right, the right is attacked even further when they express outrage.

Over the last couple of days I received two emails from people who frequently read my work here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom and took note of some of my recent articles where I expressed outrage of my own.  In both cases, they feel that indignation on my part is misplaced—and uncivilized, and that I should just suppress my thoughts for the ridiculous common good.  Here are those emails along with my response.

C’mon Rich,

Looked at a recent blog of yours and found this
———
As a reader here, and casual participant, you can trust that I will not disappear into a void of oblivion because I set out in this war to win it, not to come to a drawl, or shake hands and make a deal.  I set out to destroy my enemy—those who openly exploit children for their own selfish progressive desires.

Why so violent?

And quit crying over the “Kroger survey” and stick with arguments that have some logic.

Maybe Kelly Kohls gets so much flack from friends of educators because she aligns herself with you.  She loses me in her presentations as soon as she looks to you, manning the video camera, for backup facts.

I do think you need  to change the tenor of your rhetoric.  You seem to begging for physical confrontation and the search for educational solutions needs to avoid that.

I told you I am done with public education.  I see them as a threat to our next generations because of the left leaning tendency of what they teach.  If there were more balanced world views, I’d feel differently.  But that’s not the case.  Profit based strategies need to be the future of education as it tends to root out the good from the bad.

Since people have the memory span of paper clips, I have to remind them of the Kroger Survey for context.  You are likely to see and read it at least 100 to 200 more times in the months to come.  That was my bench mark of the type of people who support public education where I realized who supported the education system as it is and why.

You seem to ignore the comments of Becki in the Kelly Kohls incident.  You pick what you want and paint things up the way you wish them to be.  I don’t like to see people pushed around, and I see that happening a lot in public education from employees who forget that the tax payers are their boss.

Kelly or anybody else has their choice whether to align themselves with me.  Obviously you are used to dealing with other types of people, because I don’t have a shortage who wish to do so.

You can speculate on my aims, but you can bet that there is a reason for everything.

Thanks for writing and showing me your mind.  There is a lot there; I can understand your frustration.

Have a nice Easter,

Rich

Dear Rich Hoffman, (as written spelling errors and all)

I do empathize strongly with Gen X.

1.But you people claim to have manners whilst minimalising racism?

2.You claim to have class while bashing on LITERALLY ENTIRE GENERATIONS?

3. You claim that Gen Z is the end of humanity, based on what? Your interpretations of the potential of a bunch of >10 years-olds?

4. You mock science for modern warnings about global disaster, but you long for the days of the cold war when nuclear annihilation was imminent?

You’re a bunch of jackasses.  For a guy who mocks younger generations for being weak, you seem to have some pretty strong “mommy” issues. Newsflash, your generation was neither the first, nor the last generation to have broken families in it. Pussy.

  • Jason Ibanez

Who me? I am what I eat.  And you are a snot nosed punk.

Rich

There are a lot more of those types of emails, but they happen to have come through within a short time of each other the other day while I was thinking about the Jim Carrey video.  They are derived from the same kind of culture where the progressive left steps up and punches the conservative right in the face then runs off not expecting to be hit back.  In the case of those emails when I am called derogatory names, or a union representative uses the word “war” to describe their plight against the tax payer it makes me angry, and I direct the anger where appropriate.

The Carrey video and the video above where progressive analysis is given praising the anti gun message, the commentator is happy and dancing on the grave of Charlton Heston because Carrey represents the progressive beliefs of that particular pundit.  So it is only fair that those of us with conservative beliefs do the same when necessary and beat on the war drums ourselves when provoked.  In that regard it is healthy to give progressives back what they dish out and then some, to teach them that it is not appropriate to use force, or coercion of any kind to advance a political agenda, which is what progressives are adamantly committed to.  However it is not my fault that the generations before me who happened to be conservative were as Jason Ibanez declared above, allowing progressive to punch them without getting it back.  Those days are over.

Jim Carrey probably does believe what he says about The Second Amendment.  He does not connect the dots of his career with the rights of the First Amendment to play characters that speak out of his butt (literally) and to use guns like he did in The Mask to boost his career.    The Hollywood culture which has been consumed by progressive Democrats, just as Ayn Rand warned about with Walt Disney and many others (CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF) is awash in hypocrisy in much the same way that public education believes they are on the moral side of goodness by teaching forced collectivism and anti-private property instruction against community tax payers.  Most of the time the activists like the two email writers above, or Jim Carrey in his attack against the image of Charlton Heston fail to see how their actions in the microcosm are shaped by events in the macrocosm.  They only look at their small piece of the pie and expect all of society to adhere to their viewpoint even if the cost is a loss of personal freedom, Constitutional revision, or the destruction of a movie legend’s memory.

When Hollywood attacks itself, as Carrey is doing against the recollection of Heston, the battle lines are clear.  The difference is that now conservatives have learned that taking the abuse and mockery from the progressive left will not be tolerated.  Carrey may not see the immediate impact of his actions against his next couple of films, but he has changed the way people see him.  Before this incident I was a fan of his.  I doubt I’ll ever watch another one of his films just as I haven’t seen a George Clooney film in about 10 years.  I cannot watch those types of actors anymore knowing that they stand against the personal beliefs that I have, and when they remind me of it in such a glorious fashion, they dig their own grave—because I’m not alone.  Many people think the way I do; they just don’t speak their thoughts.  And if I didn’t know that, I wouldn’t even bother with this site.

The flyover states that Jim Carrey insulted in his video made him the star that he is today and those people will reject Carrey in the future.  It will have an impact on his box office totals.  Jim Carrey has successfully taken himself as an A List actor and put himself in the mind of America as an activist equivalent to Sean Penn, an actor that is impossible to watch without thinking of his communist oriented politics.  For the same reason, Jane Fonda will always and forever be known as Hanoi Jane because of her support of communists in North Vietnam—no matter what she may have done in the rest of her life from playing in On Golden Pond with her father, to her workout tapes.   In the history of her legacy, she will always be known as a communist, which most Americans reject when the word is not hidden behind the mask of progressivism.  70 percent of Americans have a genuine mistrust of government.  About 20% of those people are willing to overlook that mistrust because government pays their paycheck—and pays them quite well to remain “comfortably numb.”  Because the government cannot be trusted, The Second Amendment will always be needed in case the tragic worst case scenario should ever reoccur, which is another American Revolution.  The Second Amendment is not for hunting, or target shooting, it is for warding off the government if government imposes itself too arrogantly upon the personal liberty and freedoms of the American people.  It’s a unique concept in the world, and progressives in love with Europe find it appalling.  In Hollywood where European culture is so revered and noticeably out of step with the rest of the country, Jim Carrey is just another activist showing off for his liberal friends so he can stay relevant.  But in so doing he created his own legacy that he will come to regret.  He won’t be known as the actor for the Truman Show, or even Ace Ventura.  Rather, he’ll be known as the progressive stooge who danced on the grave of a Hollywood legend and took aim at the heart of America with a blind attempt to appease the extreme minority in Hollywood who holds the purse strings of the Hollywood money machine.   In the end, Carrey will wish that he had said something as bold as Charlton Heston did, and that some future loser would attempt mock him in death with a song titled Cold Dead Hand, because when Carrey is no longer on earth, it will go as un-noticed as a fart lost in the wind of a career built of childish jokes and frail beliefs.


That is the legacy of Jim Carrey, throw him a fish–he’ll perform.

Satan Living at The White House: History Channel’s Bible explores the 800 million pound elephant

I have studied The Bible most of my life and my approach to religion has been most closely represented by the Harrison Ford character in the film Mosquito Coast than virtually any other portrayal I could otherwise provide.  With that in mind please watch every one of the videos at this site after reading the text, especially the last one as supplemental material to the below article.   I am always looking for and asking questions, so I am not prone to believe everything written down for me that migrated out of the European Dark Ages.  Rather I look to such material for the story behind the story—which is often richer than the superficial metaphors released through the censors of history.  But with that said I love the History Channel’s Bible series immensely and think it has been a wonderful epic that I hope restores some sense of goodness and value upon our society.  In that regard, I believe that Mark Burnett and his wife Roma purposely made up the Satan actor Mehdi Ouzaani to look like President Obama in the History Channel epic for a damn good reason which I will explain.  But first listen to what Zo has to say about the Devil and the Obama resemblance on PJTV.

To understand the situation in Hollywood and why wonderful producers like Mark and Roma Burnett would give money to Obama and the Democrats yet turn around and make Obama the Devil in their fantastic rendition of The Bible is to understand the story of the Prophet Daniel.  When Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem and took the Hebrews as slaves back to Babylonia to be fattened on its captured nations the pompous king held a fear over the slaves similar to how Obama commands respect.   Nebuchadnezzar came to feel that he was superior to any monarch who ever lived and the Hebrew people were required to bow at his feet and worship as he mandated. For the most part the Hebrew people publicly did as they were told while their true religion was forced underground.  Even the great Prophet Daniel played along with the fanatical Nebuchadnezzar so to preserve his life making himself available to Nebuchadnezzar so that he could best serve his people—the captured and enslaved Hebrews from Jerusalem.  Earning the trust of Nebuchadnezzar Daniel after successfully interpreting the dreams of several of the King’s nighttime visions had earned the right to address him frankly.

“Do I see here the sacred gold and silver vessels that King Nebuchadnezzar brought from our holy Temple in Jerusalem?” Daniel said aloud.  “O King, did you and your dancing-girls and your lords and their wives drink wine from those holy vessels?   Did you toast the idols of your gods and gold, silver, iron, wood, and stone?  Did you do that with the holy vessels, O King?”  Daniel is of course speaking of the destruction of King Solomon’s Temple where the Holy of Holies was ransacked and destroyed.

The king’s eyes became cunning. “We meant no disrespect, Daniel.  But tell me the meaning of those words and I will put a chain of gold around your neck, give you purple robes, and make you third in command of my kingdom.  Unlock this secret to me, Daniel, and these honors shall be yours.”

Daniel worried whether he could dare tell the king that he would soon become insane and that Nebuchadnezzar stood to be condemned to death.  He worried that telling the king this upcoming fact might bring the royal sword across his neck, so he began to speak slowly once an old woman who was the discarded former queen and wife of Nebuchadnezzar prompted him by forming a warning with her silent lips—“Give the king an answer.  Give it quickly.”  So Daniel spoke, “Let your gifts be for yourself.  Give your rewards to another.”  Upon that the king’s hand fell to the hilt of his dagger but Daniel now knew his course, knew that this king was a sinner, an idolater, a living violation of every law of God.  His voice now took on an edge.  “O King, the Most High God gave your father glory and majesty, and when Nebuchadnezzar hardened his heart, the Most High turned him into a beast until he knew that God ruled the kingdom of men.  But you, his son have not humbled yourself.  Instead, you have fought the Lord.  You have brought the utensils from God’s Temple and defiled them with toasts of our own gods.  The true God, who puts breathe into you, who gives you life itself, you have not honored.  So He sent a living hand to write His judgment on you.”

Nebuchadnezzar did not like the prophetic warning which went on to explain that Darius the Mede would take over a divided kingdom between the Persians and the Medes. But Nebuchadnezzar soon fell ill to insanity and lost his capacity to rule, as Daniel had predicted.  When Darius the Mede arrived unchallenged at the gates of the kingdom, the Hebrews fell to their knees to honor their new conqueror of which Daniel quickly befriended to earn the release of his people hopefully from this new tyrant.

Things got off to a rough start between Daniel and Darius especially when the new king became angry and locked Daniel into the lion’s den.  But Darius came around once he had second thoughts and returned hopefully in time to save Daniel from consumption only to find the lions purring like kittens at Daniel’s feet.  This started a chain reaction of events that ended up freeing the Hebrews from their captivity in Babylon.

Fast forward to the Book of Revelations written by a shadowy “second John” figure in the time of Nero which is where the number of the beast 666 is derived from by adding up the consonants of his name.  The essence of this portion of the bible is to properly articulate the influence of Satan upon the world, the same Satan who acted as “The Evil One” or the Devil in Christ’s three temptations.  Satan was animated in The Bible by an unrelenting hatred against God and all goodness, Satan is engaged in a world-wide and age-long struggle against God, ever seeking to defeat the divine plans of grace toward God’s making and to seduce men to evil and their ruin.  As “the deceiver of the whole world” (Rev. 12:9), his primary method is that of deception—about himself, his purpose, his activities, his coming defeat.  Satan was the seducer of Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:1-7; II Cor. 11:3); he insinuated to God that Job serve Him only for what he got out of it (Job 1:9; he stood up against Israel (I Chron. 21:1) and God’s high priest (Zech. 3:1-2).  Under divinely imposed limitations he may be instrumental in causing physical affliction or financial loss (Job 1:11-22; 2:4-7; Luke 13:16; II Cor. 12:7).  He snatched away the Word of God sown in the hearts of the unsaved (Matt 13:19), sows his counterfeit Christians among the sons of the kingdom (Matt. 13:25, 38-39), blinds the minds of men to the Gospel (II Cor. 4:3-4), and induces them to accept his lie (II Thess. 2:9-10). Often he transforms himself into “an angel of light” by presenting his apostles of falsehood as messengers of truth (I Cor. 11:13-15. He clashes in fierce conflict with the saints (Eph. 6:11-18). Is ever alert to attempt to destroy them (I Pet. 5:8), and hinders the work of God’s servants (I Thess. 2:18).  Certain members of the church who were expelled are said to have been delivered to Satan, but with the design to produce their reformation, not their destruction (I Cor. 5:5; I time. 1: 20).  Now, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to compare the Presidency of Barack Obama to the Biblical Satan if all the references mention above are investigated and read in context to compare the work of Obama objectively to that of Satan.  I would dare say that the two are nearly parallel to each other.  Obama’s presidency is built entirely on deception, even down to simple statements about Benghazi, and Fast and Furious.  I don’t even believe him when he discusses his Final Four Bracket picks.  Based on Barack Obama’s actions, I believe he is a perpetual liar that is intentionally deceitful and has aims very comparable to the Biblical definition of Satan.

If I were Mark Burnett and his very nice wife Roma, who believes intently in The Holy Bible, and I looked around Hollywood and knew that I was surrounded by many who have been seduced by evil convinced Obama is an “angel of light,” I might be very cautious of my actions and work very hard not to earn the reprimand of my peers who are acting as agents of evil.  Like Daniel the Prophet I might fear the axe across my neck for speaking the truth.  But in honor of my spirituality and my very soul I would make Obama the Devil in my miniseries so that I was clean in the same way that Daniel spoke carefully in his wording to King Nebuchadnezzar about the downfall of his kingdom.  I believe the Burnetts knew exactly what they were doing and their purpose was for the higher aims of God by naming an evil so evident on Earth with an artistic and acceptable plot device.

To name the evil in public for many people means doom, their careers will be ended, and their families hunted down and killed by skiing accidents and other tragedies.  (Refer to Sonny Bono’s skiing accident several years ago.)  Mark Burnett is not stupid.  The best thing to do if you’re a powerful television producer working in Hollywood surrounded by the encroachment of evil, and are powerless to stop it, is to at least do as Daniel did and make yourself close to King Nebuchadnezzar and Darius the Mede.  You give a little money to Satan to turn his gaze away from your underground worship and in California “faith” has certainly been pushed underground.  If Burnett wants to keep his ability to produce shows like The Bible so that he can do great social good through his connections, he has to play the game like Daniel did because evil is in charge.  The Burnetts did a bold thing with The Bible television series because they referenced the 800 million pound elephant that everyone has been thinking about when it comes to Barack Obama.  Most everyone with a clean mind has been uttering for some time that they believe Obama is the Anti-Christ.  They fear to say such things in public because of progressive ridicule, but around the water coolers, restaurants, and dining room engagements, Satan and Obama go together in conversation as meaning the same thing.

I do not believe it is a coincidence that Obama decided within a week of this controversy caused by Mark and Roma Burnett’s very controversial Satanic reference to suddenly make appeasement with Israel and fly to The Holy Land to visit Biblical relics and show support of Christian and Jewish faith.  In the world of deception which falls from the Obama Administration like snowflakes in a snowstorm the actions speaks louder than the implication.  For those who believe in Satan and either the historical context of The Bible, or even the metaphorical—did anyone ever believe that Satan or the epitome of evil would show up with a long red tail, horns and a pitchfork?  Evil never appears as something disgusting in any culture on Earth, it always comes as a trickster and deceiver of human minds.  It comes through enchantment and popularity—and can be seen best when a president who has had an adversarial relationship with Israel which seems to mimic the modern-day tensions between the Islamic and Jewish faith over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, flies Air Force One days after he has been called Satan by one of the most popular television programs in history to prove that he is not what he’s being accused of.  Alarm bells should be sounding.

The evidence is easy to see but difficult to admit, and I think the Burnett’s message is quite clear.  They did a good thing—a risky thing, but it needed to be done.  Barack Obama might as well be the Nebuchadnezzar of Hollywood.  In the film business the same forces that put Obama in The White House control all the major trade publications, so appeasing them is paramount if one wants to stay in business.  Obama like Nebuchadnezzar may not be the physical manifestation of Satan, but they are certainly agents of evil no matter what social perspective is analyzing history.  Satan would never appear in a form on Earth where its appearance would be repulsive to the societies of mankind.  Satan might appear behind the mask of a woman’s breasts in a pornographic endeavor, behind the bright lights of a casino, or behind a spread the wealth president shielded by civil rights sins of the past through guilt and complacency.  Ultimately Satan appears behind a smiling face with bright white teeth to conceal an agenda of destruction as the intentional aim.  Such a human mask would have access to the entire world as it transforms itself into “an angel of light” by presenting apostles of falsehood as messengers of truth.  I stand with the Burnetts, their Bible series is timely and important, and never more needed in how it has forced society the world over to look hard at itself and question if the path we are all on is the correct one, and that the Mark of the Beast is metaphorically stamped upon the head of the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Second Call Defense: The first defense is a firearm, the second is from the parasites that follow

One of the great themes of this site is to highlight the many ways that progressives have attacked traditional American culture.  Progressives have an intense desire to wean Americans away from all forms of self-reliance so that national collectivism and addiction to government services are provoked.  This has never been more evident than in relation to The Second Amendment of The United States Constitution.  In the good ol’ days when a criminal nut-case broke into a home to steal a loaf of bread and was shot dead by the homeowner on the front porch of their property, the sheriff might come out—make a record of the case while enjoying some corn whisky brewed from a room in the back of the home.  The homeowner would be treated respectfully and with honor and the assumption of guilt would be placed squarely on the character lying on the porch stiffening up due to rigor mortis.  However, not any more—as progressives have seeped like viral insects into every aspect of American culture, legal, media, education, elected office, etc.  The homeowner shooting intruders on their property have become saturated with panicky analysis and over-zealot gun grabbing politicians who want to build careers off their suffering.  Progressives directly and indirectly have destroyed the very concept of individual rights in America for which The Second Amendment seeks to protect.  In 2013 if a homeowner shoots a criminal nut case on their front porch the homeowner will be arrested aggressively and thrown into the back of a police car.  Their computers and personal possessions will be confiscated and scrutinized and the property held by the state until prosecution of the shooter is concluded.  The shooter will be charged with murder as the attacker wasn’t inside the home.  The situation will be made worse when it is discussed that the attacker was only armed with a knife deeming no immediate threat to the homeowner who could have avoided opening the door and hoped the attacker would move away on their own.  Progressive groups would then attack the homeowner in court through testimony stating that the attacker was simply hungry because they lost their job and needed food.  Media outlets will then broadcast the story all over America about how the attacker had a “collective right” to the possessions of the homeowner and that if the shooter had only been willing to share his assets with the attacker both would be alive and free today saving the tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars in court costs.    When the frustrated defendant proclaims on the stand that “it’s not fair that a nut-case trying to attack their private property had more rights than they did,” the prosecuting attorney would simply respond, “how do you know the slain victim was a nut case?  Are you a psychologist?  Where did you study?  What degree do you hold that enables you to proclaim that the victim was a so-called nut-case?  These are the kind of things only professions are qualified to answer.”  This is why George Lang along with a fistful of other patriots has started a new legal group called Second Call Defense.

In fact that was George Lang playing the hypothetical role of a homeowner defending his property from an attacker.  In the video several examples were given about real life tragedies where the homeowner used a gun to defend their life yet found themselves in financial ruin because of the legal aftermath where parasitic entities sought to capitalize off progressive gun legislation that is entirely too aggressive.  Lang knows a lot from an insider’s track about how the legal system can be just as much of a parasite attacking personal liberty as an intruder in a home.  He is a trustee of West Chester Twp, in Ohio where the community pays its police department better wages than any place else from Pittsburg to Indianapolis.  George has seen firsthand many cases similar to the example above cross his desk not just in his home town but all across America.   This is the primary reason that Lang and his group have teamed up with The Buckeye Firearms Foundation to offer gun owners, supporters of The Second Amendment, and property owners’ legal help through Second Call Defense.  They also offer preventative measures against the progressive encroachment of a legal system gone mad.

http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/8823

Progressives wish to believe that government has all the answers and can 100% of the time be relied upon to correct social debaucheries.  Do-gooder politicians like Senator Diane Feinstein have built their careers injecting their progressive beliefs into every tragedy that strategically seeks to focus legal analysis away from individual liberty toward collective salvation.   For well over 100 years now this gradual eroding of personal liberty has shifted the focus of behavioral studies away from any form of property ownership toward collective necessity.  In court shooters will be grilled on the stand as to “how did they knew the attacker was a threat if they were simply on the porch and not brandishing a knife?” The burden of proof falls on the homeowner and not the dead victim as progressive legal interpretations have given the attacker the right to do as they please on the homeowner’s front porch.  The homeowner has an obligation to call the “authorities” who will then inject themselves into the business of the homeowner and supersede their authority on their own property.  To the progressive, the issue is not about guns, or the rights of the shooter, or even the dead body on the porch—the real villain is their hatred of private property and a sinister desire to erase the concept of it from the minds of Americans.

Yet, even if the homeowner called the authorities, there is no guarantee that they will act honorably and in the best interest of the caller.  As George Lang knows all too well, the cops sometimes find that they are not too far away from the decrepit mind of an attacker and are all too tempted to abuse their power at the expense of the homeowner.  Lang had to participate recently in a West Chester Township financial settlement where over-zealous young cops seemingly hungry to prove their manhood beat an un-armed drunk after a fight at a late night sports bar.  The drunk wasn’t even part of the fight that had occurred much earlier but was simply the last person left on the scene.   The cops wanted to exert their authority on someone abusing the man beating him senseless.  Even with video evidence telling the story convincingly the superiors sided with the officers proving beyond doubt that in a court of law, the drunk had little chance of defending himself as all the cops had their stories aligned.  It was when a grand jury examined the case that Lang realized the cops were in the wrong and the decision had to be made to pay the victim in a settlement to avoid further financial detriment to the community because of the police mistake.  CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE ON THE STORY WITH VIDEO.  So even if the cops are called to save the property of a homeowner, there is no way to know what type of officer might show up in a police car these days in a society that values deception over honor.

Second Call Defense was created to provide some help with these types of gun related cases.  Once an attacker decides they want whatever it is that a property owner has, only one threat has been contained if the property owner uses a gun to stop that threat.  From there an entire legal system of progressive activists, deal making politicians, morally deficient law enforcement, and presiding family members who may not have cared one ounce for the life of the defeated attacker, but in death through civil lawsuits and the promise of easy money the life of a typical scum-bag suddenly becomes worth a king’s ransom.  A shooter protecting their property in 2013 America not only must protect themselves from attackers in the middle of the night as shown in the video above, but from the legal parasites who wish to make their careers off the backs of tragedy which is often the real threat.  It is that second threat that Second Call Defense seeks to protect its members from.  No other organization offers such a service in all of America.  Second Call Defense offers training and education on legal firearm use, emergency resources such as a 24/7 legal hotline and upfront cash for attorney retainers and bonds.  Insurance coverage for criminal and civil protection that is backed by the NRA endorsed insurance program is also offered.  Most people can’t afford to put up thousands of dollars to get up to $10,000 upfront for an attorney retainer, immediate cash for a bond up to $250,000, up to $500 per day in wage compensation while in court, up to 40 sessions of psychological support, and up to $250,000 accidental shooting protection, $50,000 criminal defense reimbursement, unlimited civil suit defense protection, and $250,000 civil suit damages protection.  Second Call Defense does all this and more.  The first defense is in the property owner defending their life with a firearm.  The second defense is from the parasites who seek to make livings off the misery left in the wake.  From those, a gun cannot protect anyone.  But now there is a group that can, Second Call Defense.

Matt Mayer Speaking at the West Chester Tea Party: How to remove John Kasich from office and why

51ENkmLjHZL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_SX240_SY320_CR,0,0,240,320_SH20_OU01_It only takes about 350,000 voters to knock Governor Kasich out of the running for a 2014 re-election which is information that state Republicans do not want anybody to know.  Kasich ran for office as a Tea Party governor and he has failed, mainly because he does not support Right-to-Work in Ohio and is attempting to expand Medicaid so that his budget can gain federal money allocated from Obamacare.  Kasich as a Republican governor might as well be Barack Obama as they are both big government politicians who wish to expand entitlement programs in favor of advancing their political careers.   That is what the Tea Party is now beginning to say about Governor Kasich.  The case against Kasich and the true reality behind Ohio health has best been articulated by Matt Mayer who is the author of the new book Taxpayers Don’t Stand A Chance.  He is also President of Opportunity Ohio, and a Tea Party supporter along with his right-hand-man Chris Littleton.  Both men are extremely active in Columbus politics and have the inside track on policy.  In the videos below, they accurately establish that under Kasich Ohio is no better off than if Ted Strickland were still governor, or if Barack Obama was Governor.  Matt and Chris spoke to the West Chester Tea Party in the following videos “packed” with information.

Republicans are terrified of the Tea Party position because they don’t want to lose having a Republican as governor.  For them, they win if they retain their elected seats.  Ideologically, almost all politicians think the same way.  They are universally devoid of principles and only want to do what they have to in order to keep their offices.  They will lie, cheat and steal to retain their seats, so Republicans pull together as a collective to defeat Democrats so that in mass they can keep their elected offices.  At the end of the day Kasich is absolutely no different from Barack Obama because both will do whatever they have to in order to win re-election.  They function from a lack of personal conviction.  In Kasich’s case, he is the leader of the Republican Party in Ohio by default, so as a collective unit, other Republican Senators and Representatives get in line behind Kasich’s strategy, and for the most part everyone sticks to the same story.  For the Tea Party, who simply wants fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets, if the Republicans aren’t giving them those things, then the politicians have failed to do what they were elected to do.

Many of those politicians will call people like Matt and Chris “extremists” and radical “right-wingers.”  They will do everything they can to discredit the efforts of any Tea Party patriots so that the greatest threat to their parasitic existences can be eliminated.    Matt Mayer is President of Provisum Strategies where he provides strategic and tactical political policy advice to public and private-sector clients.  Mayer also serves as a Visiting Fellow with The Heritage Foundation, America’s top think tank, where he writes and speaks on national security issues.  He is also a Research Fellow at the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs.  Mayer’s first book, Homeland Security and Federalism: Protecting America from Outside the Beltway argued for reversing the federalization of homeland security by returning power to the states and localities.  I could go on and on about Matt Mayer, in fact his “about the author” section of his book goes on for two pages of experience at both the federal and state level positions.  He is the recipient of the ABA-BNA Excellence in Labor & Employment Law Award and has given testimony to the U.S. Congress, Texas House and Senate, the Ohio House and Senate, appeared on Fox News, C-Span and on and on.  When it comes to politics, Matt is a genius and his friend Chris Littleton seen in the next video is equal in many ways.  The information that Chris will provide below is stunning, and one of the best kept secrets in politics.

For most political insiders and industry brick builders, their first thoughts about people like Matt or Chris is that if they are so brilliant—such extraordinary minds–then why aren’t they running the Republican Party instead of Karl Rove.  Why are they wasting their time giving free speeches and traveling all over the state and country without any prospect of “profit?”  As Matt finished his speech above and Chris began I watched Mayer leave.  After giving me a wave goodbye he stepped out into the cold March evening and started up an average looking weathered car to drive off to his next speech.  At the end of the day he’d drive back to his home in Dublin, Ohio putting hundreds of additional miles on his car promoting a book that he is donating 100% of the proceeds to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library.  Chris could tell almost the same type of story.  I have spent many evenings speaking with Chris and can attest to his sincerity.  Chris or Matt could make millions of dollars exploiting the system the way Kasich is doing currently along with hundreds of other state Reps, Senators, and their ornamental lapdogs—but they don’t.  Both men know so much about politics that they could be rich beyond measure if they chose to, but instead they speak at events like the West Chester Tea Party and write books for free, because they simply want to educate society.   They do what they do because they are good people who care with all their heart and souls about the world around them.

Kasich in the quiet of his office when all the other politicians have left his ear would probably wish he could be either Matt Mayer or Chris Littleton.   It takes a strong man to have the knowledge to crush enemies and exploit their toil for all the gold one can carry away in their pockets, yet avoid doing so.  Most politicians exploit every opportunity to their advantage.   But to walk away from the temptations of exploitive wealth and do what’s right is reserved for only the best men.  The reason people like Matt and Chris are so outraged at Governor Kasich isn’t because they think ill will of him.  They are outraged because they have not sold their souls to political life and still have their ideas intact.  They have not compromised their beliefs in favor of a political career as Kasich has, so they earned the ability to be critical of those who have.  The Tea Party they speak to, and through with books like Taxpayers Don’t Stand A Chance also have the right to be critical of John Kasich and his Republican stooges.  Republicans along with Democrats have lied, stolen, and manipulated to keep their offices, so it goes without saying that the punishment for them should be to lose those offices even if it costs Ohio the loss of Republican seats.  Those Republican seats are worthless if the politicians who sit in them behave like progressives, or standard Democrats.  It is not the obligation of Ohioans to turn their gazes the other way while John Kasich earns his chance to run for President of The United States by delivering to Ohio an entitlement expansion of Medicaid that will crush the state economically 10 years into the future.  The responsible thing to do is to identify the behavior as a failure even if it is painful, because the right thing to do is often not easy, or free of pain.

As I watched Matt drive away from the speech out of the parking lot, it was not in a new Mercedes, a BMW, or any other luxury vehicle.  It was just a normal car driven by a dad of three children and husband to a wife waiting for him in Dublin.  If he was just a bit less ethical, he would be a millionaire, who would have garages full of luxury cars and his children would never have to worry about where their money would come from next.  But the difference between Matt Mayer and Governor Kasich is that Matt knows that if he doesn’t fight to keep things under control today, that there won’t be a Ohio, or a United States for his children to live in tomorrow.  So Matt does what’s right and difficult, while politicians like Kasich just make short-sighted deals for a future that they are helping to destroy.  That is why the Tea Party is contemplating how and why to remove John Kasich from office.  It only takes 350,000 votes in a primary to yank him and his dreams of a presidency from contention.  Such a thing is a suitable punishment for trying to expand Medicaid in Ohio then standing in the way of Workplace Freedom when the surrounding states are pulling ahead rapidly toward a future that will soon be out of reach.  When Kasich says that he believes it is a sin to not expand Medicaid as he did in the video above he is simply exploiting the poor to purchase his own redemption using tax money to satisfy his warped reality.  It is not compassionate to steal money from others to give to the so-called needy.  It is called theft.  That is why there are thoughts to hit Kasich where it hurts most.  There must be justice for the direction Kasich has chosen to lead Ohio, and until there is punishment, politicians will never do the right thing.

Why Government Isn’t Needed: The unspoken honor of the American Biker

DSC04543This little story is for the politically left leaning supporter who believes that government brings fairness to the world by taking from those who have and giving to those who don’t, and that security is provided under an umbrella of policing authority.  Every single day of my life I am engaged in a science experiment that has technical and behavior science ramifications which involves the motorcycle seen in the picture above.  I seldom ever part from that motorcycle as it goes virtually everywhere I do every single day of a calendar year.  I ride that motorcycle in the worst rainstorms, heaviest winds and even in the snow and ice.  One time this past year of 2013 it snowed so badly while I was out and about that I couldn’t even turn my front wheel to change direction from one road to the next.  I was regulated to only traveling in a straight line and then could not stop because the roads were so slick.  Needless to say I did not crash.  Part of my experiment is to see how much the human body can take in endurance while still performing at a high level.  The nature of riding motorcycles means that there is no room for mistakes, so they cannot be made.  By riding my motorcycle all year I get to break all kinds of perceived rules that society believes they must function under, and it gives me fresh perspectives that are useful elsewhere.

Most days riding that motorcycle is uneventful.  But over the course of 365 days a year there are always 5 to 6 days where something potentially devastating happens.  One such thing that wasn’t dangerous so much as it was technical was that I had a battery that was failing.  After so many starts through a hard winter it wasn’t holding a charge, and when temperatures dropped to under 30 degrees, I was having a hard time getting it started.  Well, one day toward the end of February I had barely managed to get the bike started at its destination for the return trip home and my fuel was extremely low.  I was worried that if I got gas on the way home, that I wouldn’t get the bike started again because it didn’t have enough amps to crank the engine over.  So I urged the bike to get as close to my home as possible.  With luck I’d get to the gas station that was about a quarter-mile from my home—but I had serious doubts.

The big bike did run out of gas about a half mile from that sought after fueling station so I put it in neutral to coast the rest of the distance.   My bike stopped rolling at the entrance to the gas station and I was able to push with my feet the motorcycle into the parking lot and up to the pump without too much extra trouble.  I filled up my tank, but as I suspected the bike wouldn’t crank over more than a couple of times, not enough to start in the cold weather.   The battery had not charged enough on the way home because I kept my RPMs down to save the gas.  So I was a quarter-mile away from home but couldn’t start my bike.  I didn’t want to call my wife because she was watching our grandchild for one of my daughters and I didn’t wish to bother her.   So I started pushing the motorcycle that weighs about 800 pounds up the busy roadway toward my home.

There is a slight hill that I had to go up and along the way twice two motorists stopped to help me.   Both men were summertime bikers and wanted to help a fellow motorcyclist.  They offered me a ride or gas without any pretension of inconvenience.  I asked them if they had jumper cables as my bike has a computer and cannot be kick started, or push-started in the usual way.  It has to be started off the battery.  Neither man had jumper cables with them so they wouldn’t be able to help.  The second guy who stopped was a die-hard Harley Rider with a long beard that hung down over his stomach.  He had a very nice warm truck that I could feel the heat coming out of as he spoke to me.  It was very tempting to get into his passenger’s seat and have him take me home.  Yet I didn’t want to leave my bike on the side of a busy road, even though my home was very nearby.  Instead I waved the help along and thanked them for their concern.  I decided to push my big bike the rest of the way home, which is what I proceeded to do in small intervals up the hill.  It took me an additional 45 minutes, but eventually I was in my driveway and safe in my garage where I could make the necessary repairs and get the bike ready for the next day’s travel.

The guys who stopped to help me were not told by government to assist.  They did it out of mutual respect.  Being bikers themselves, they wanted to help a fellow motorcyclist.  They didn’t know me from anybody else, they only saw that I was pushing my motorcycle up a hill and they wanted to help—because as both men said—“I’ve been there a time or two myself.”  But I did not accept their help because I did not want to abandon my motorcycle in favor of comfort.  So I struggled to push the bike up the hill in the freezing cold because if I hadn’t I would have wished later that I had toughed it out.  Both bikers looked at me a bit odd when I reported to them that I’d push the bike the rest of the way home, but neither found the information alien.

It never even occurred to me to call the police, or Triple AAA or any organization for help with my predicament.  I ride the motorcycle every day to solve problems like that from time to time.  People under their own volition wished to help me, and I didn’t need government to get home.  I picked as I always do, the most “self-reliant” option there was, and because I challenged the bike to get close to my house before running out of gas I gave myself the option of pushing it home if all systems failed—which they did.

In the absence of government Americans naturally want to help each other.  Charity comes from respect and occurs because people want to do good things.  The bikers who wanted to help me didn’t do it out of fear of being struck down by God if they drove on by, and they didn’t do it because they were paid by the tax payer to help stranded motorists.  They did it because they too were bikers and they respected another biker to the level that they wanted to help if they could out of their own free-will, no government involvement at all.  The same happens wherever government is not–even to this day.  The good is easy to see in people where government has not stepped in to be the un-necessary mediator of disputes—which I get to see a few times a year because of my tendency to ride motorcycles beyond the safety net of normal society.  All government systems could fail, as they do during emergencies, and people help each other without being told to out of sheer respect for their fellow human beings.  Such behavior is not driven from fearful submission to authority, or altruistic compassion, but out of a sincere desire to help a fellow-man in their plight to do their daily activities.  In the case of the bikers they are acting on self-interest ultimately.  They hope that I or somebody else will do the same if they get into trouble, so they offer up the help so the network is nonverbally maintained.

In life if all government was shut down, and all tax payer funded activities were removed, my journey home that day would have been the same.  The gas station would have still had gas when I needed it because it’s to their financial incentive to have what I need when I need it.  And those two guys would have still stopped.  But because of my tendency toward self-reliance I didn’t need their help, although it was appreciated.  As for the roads and my use of them, I paid an enormous amount of state tax at the pump when I bought my gas which more than paid for my use of the pavement that day.  I got my bike home and fixed without the intrusion of any government representative even in the form of a police officer.  That is a trend that will continue.  It is because of such realizations that I have less and less respect for those who vote in large government programs to provide a “safety net” for their lives.  I avoid such safety like a man on fire seeks water.  I stay as far away from them as possible, which is the primary reason I ride a motorcycle every single day of the year no matter what the weather.  It is good to know these kinds of things, and most of the time they can only be seen by doing what nobody else is willing to do.  It rests in my mind the argument that government could be greatly reduced and America would actually improve instead of decline, because the will to do good is still in people like the two guys who stopped to help me in a quarter-mile stretch of road.  Such good people are still out there, but we just don’t see them because government stands in the way of us discovering such facts about each other.  Government wishes to maintain the myth that they are needed, when in fact they are simply in the way.

And by the way, if the goof balls in The United Nations ever think they can get control of the people shown in the videos above, they are on “crack.”  Most of those people are just now becoming aware of the problems I write about here everyday.  And when they realize they have been scammed……………….they are going to be VERY, pissed off.

Save Your Child From “Common Core” in Public Education: “The Lucifer Effect” and how it works

To understand what Glenn Beck is saying in the videos below one must reflect backwards in time to the seemingly bizarre rantings of Charlotte Iserbyt who was the second in command at The Department of Education during the first term of the Reagan presidency.  I have covered her here complete with interviews before.  CLICK HERE TO WATCH THEM.  She is not crazy, in spite of what you will read about her in the following paragraphs.  When Glenn Beck talks about Common Core in public education he is discussing the design established for The Department of Education when it was created in 1979 for the intentional dumbing down of the world population for a collective cause that can best be explained in the last video shown on this article featuring The Lucifer Effect.  Iserbyt’s comments are based on inside experience and real life events and access to President Reagan himself.   I would suggest that all these videos be watched carefully.  There is a lot of information that is critical to our current time, and they need to be understood fully.  Take some time to watch them after you’ve read all the text, and be sure to pass this on to a friend.  They need to know this information too.

Common Core on the surface is supported by Bill Gates and his wife as part of their retirement philanthropy.  I believe they genuinely desire to help children and are not directly part of a sinister plot created by The Department of Education in the early 1980s.  Their involvement is indirect and is driven by “attributable charity.”  Gates as often happens is highly sought after for his money, and it is in charity events and political schmoozing where the ideas generated to shape Common Core education practices in America were given to him over dinner parties and wine glasses.  The desire to do good in the world for one of its richest men is a tempting prospect.  This is how good people are recruited to do bad things which is explained in the two-hour lecture by Dr. Philip Zimbardo, author of The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil. 

Common Core unlike Adolf Hitler’s book burning rituals in the 1930s where a central dictator seeking dominion over the minds of his subjects to keep them from being intelligent enough to challenge their authority, is designed to destroy children’s minds in a slow regression.  It is not designed to advance any society.  Unlike the dictators of the past, the villain is not a central figure like Barack Obama, or Fidel Castro, but the idea of collectivism itself which manifests in a collective evil that his hard to comprehend.  Common Core is designed to do precisely over a long period of time what the Soviet Union tried to do in the Great Purge of the 1920s.  Common Core seeks to reduce individual ambition, intelligence, and self-reliance into collective identification.  It is because of Common Core and the products of education so far that have caused me to no longer support public schools and encourage people with small children to home school as the only safe option.  However, even homeschooling won’t protect your family from Common Core as it is set to become a state requirement for the entire United States.  Homeschooled children will at least have the opportunity to learn traditional education methods alongside Common Core if the worst case scenario occurs—where all 50 states are forced into the federal program through The Department of Education.  Now, before I get into greater detail about Common Core and The Lucifer Effect, more needs to be known about Charlotte Iserbyt which can be seen as follows from Wikipedia.  The reference notes are active and can be traced back to their sources for ease of research.  I am aware that much of this will sound far-fetched, but it is quite real, and can only be seen clearly by pulling far away from the mountain so that vision can take in the collective whole.

Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt is an American freelance writer and whistleblower who served as a Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education during the first term of U.S. President Ronald Reagan, and staff employee of the US State Department (South Africa, Belgium, South Korea).[1][2][3] She was born in 1930[4] and attended Dana Hall preparatory school and Katharine Gibbs College in New York City, where she studied business.[4] Iserbyt’s father and grandfather were Yale University graduates and members of the Skull and Bones secret society.

She is known for writing the book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America. The book claims that changes gradually brought into the American public education system attempt to eliminate the influences of a child’s parents (religion, morals, national patriotism), and mold the child into a member of the proletariat in preparation for a socialist-collectivist world of the future.[3] She alleges that these changes originated from plans formulated primarily by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Education and Rockefeller General Education Board, and details what she says are the psychological methods used to implement and effect the changes.[3]  It should be known at this time that Andrew Carnegie and John Rockefeller were both competitors in business against each other and committed many sins which they sought to reconcile through philanthropy, especially in Carnegie’s case.  They shared with the modern-day Bill Gates the classic struggle of proving to the proletariat of the world defined by Karl Marx in such a way, that they are not greedy bourgeoisie—which provokes them into “situational forces” that inspire their “attributable charity.”  Again, refer to The Lucifer Effect at the end of this article for much greater detail.  Reading these claims made by her keep an open mind and take note of the world around us right now.  A few years ago, she may have seemed crazy, but more and more, she appears to be 100% correct in everything she has said.

In an interview[2] concerning secret societies and the elite agenda she disclosed that in the early 1980s she had a chance to meet with Norman Dodd who had been the chief investigator for the United States House Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations commonly known as the B. Carroll Reece Committee. In the video interview she claims that Dodd discussed a ‘network’ of individuals including Carnegie who planned to bring about world peace by means of rapid changes in society. These changes would be brought about by involving the populace in various wars and military conflicts. She further claimed that Dodd had discussions with Rowan Gaither, the president of the Ford Foundation in which he revealed that directives from the President of the United States compelled foundations related to the Ford Foundation to direct their funding into bringing about the merger of the USA with the Soviet Union.[5][unreliable source?][6][unreliable source?][7][unreliable source?]

Filmed interviews of Iserbyt have her detail her story that lead her from school board trustee/administrator to becoming a Ronald Reagan administration staff in the U.S. Department of Education, and discovering further to her complete disbelief how these policies of a socialist-collectivist nature originated all the way to President Reagan, Vice President George H. W. Bush, and their policy advisers.

Up until 1960 Reagan, a leading member of United World Federalists (whose purpose was to merge America into a world government), was a charter member of Americans for Democratic Action. Reagan was also a member of the National Advisory Council of the American Veterans Committee[9] that was supposedly “under communist influence.”

Not listening to warnings provided to her in a book about Ronald Reagan (as California Governor, written by United Republicans of California (UROC)) given to her by a friend, Iserbyt dismissed the seemingly outrageous claims made in the book a short time prior to her accepting and leaving for the government position. In 1982 Reagan relieved her of her duties after leaking an important technology grant for computerized learning—Project BEST: “Better Education Skills through Technology”[10] brought about by the scholarly writings and a large study by an education specialist named Dr. John I. Goodlad at the Center for Educational Renewal at the University of Washington originally from British Columbia, Canada.[11] One book Iserbyt was critical of was “Schooling for a Global Age” edited by Charlotte C. Anderson, James M. Becker, Institute for Development of Educational Activities, New York 1979, that Iserbyt cited as having less to do with fostering learning and mainly to do with psychological manipulation of students possibly against the teaching of the child’s parents, for example, in arts classes.[12]

Through her father Charlotte Iserbyt was able to gain possession of the complete listings of the members, living and dead, of the Yale University Skull and Bones secret society, fashioned into a three-volume set: living members, deceased members, and complete listing of both[citation needed]. She cooperated in the writing of Dr. Antony C. Sutton’s book America’s Secret Establishment – The Order of Skull & Bones by providing the list of members obtained from her father.[14]

Fifteen Yale juniors are invited to join the Skulls each year in a process called “tapping.” A couple of thousand Yale graduates have been Skulls—WASP males from wealthy Northeastern families: Bush, Bundy, Cheney, Dodge, Ford, Goodyear, Harriman, Heinz, Kellogg, Phelps, Pillsbury, Rockefeller, Taft, Vanderbilt, Weyerhaeuser and Whitney were among its membership.

Iserbyt believes that the Bavarian Illuminati hid inside the Freemasons, and that the Skull and Bones Secret Society is derived from these Illuminati-degree Freemasons from Bavaria whose goals were documented in an original edition 1798 book Proofs of Conspiracy by John Robison in Iserbyt’s possession that she claimed was originally owned by the first president of the United States of America, Freemason, George Washington. The ideas of a ruling elite date back prior to Plato’s writings about the hierarchical plutocracy. Among the goals of the Order of the Illuminati were to destroy religions, and governments from within, merge the destroyed countries, and to bring about a one world government, a new world order, in their secret control.[15][16]

In the secret societies interview she states that virtually all of the Carnegie Foundation agreements with the Russian education system were still in place, as well as the U.S. Department of Education programs that Iserbyt claims brought about the downfall of American prosperity since the turn of the century, especially post World War II.[citation needed]

The reason Charlotte was able to walk away from her job and blow the whistle on this plot is because she had the rare ability to resist The Lucifer Effect.  Few people have the ability to resist The Lucifer Effect even those like Bill Gates who believe that their actions are for the greater good.  The way that people like Bill Gates get pulled into such schemes is through “attributable charity.”  It is in the belief that through peer “behavior compliance” in the work of philanthropy that good work can be done by investing many millions of dollars into programs that no tax payer would fund through elected offices.  The evil at work is not a single person, but the adherence to a system of belief that passes from one generation to another through “situational forces.”  All those terms will be explained in greater detail in the video lecture below by Dr. Zimbardo.

Without a doubt, for the casual reader running across this information for the first or even second time, these facts are inconvenient.  They force the mind to accept things that it has long regulated as conspiracy crack-pot theories.  However, the villain is in the collectivism which is shared across all spheres of influence mentioned in this article—no matter if it is the Bavarian Illuminati, the National Advisory Council of the American Veterans Committee, or the crazy radical Bill Ayers–they all share in common the seduction of their individual essences to The Lucifer Effect.  The Common Core that all public schools are implementing so that they can obtain federal money for their shrinking budgets is driven by “behavior compliance,” provoked by labor unions into focusing “situational forces” to the door step of Bill Gates so he’ll throw money at Common Core and advance the program through “attributable charity” by-passing the politics of the American republic to fulfill strategic goals designed in 1979 as reported by the whistleblower Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt.

The first defense a family has is to pull their child from their public school.  The second is to take away the money that funds the public education monster.  The third is to elect politicians who will support School Choice and bring Right-to-Work legislation to states so that the labor unions can be broke up and removed from educational influences.  The individual players in education are not necessarily aware of the evil they bring to children, but through The Lucifer Effect they are but small cells in the body of evil that seeks to rule the minds of mankind well into the future, toward a goal that involves less of a mind tomorrow than a child has today, and mankind one chain link closer to self-imposed slavery that could last centuries.  CLICK FOR MORE INFO.

If you love your children, you’ll home school them as soon as possible.  Public education cannot be trusted at all.

Atlas Shrugged Part III Coming in 2014: John Aglialoro’s tenacious commitment to freedom

No matter how bad things appear to be in modern politics, there are philosophical debates occurring that have never before been so accurately debated as they are currently, and John Aglialoro and his team of film makers working on the Atlas Shrugged films are at the heart of that push.  While traditional media views box office results as the most important measure of success, many of them are oblivious as to why John Aglialoro after two box office failures of the Atlas films in Part I and now Part II, he is in script development on Part III which is scheduled for a summer 2014 release.  In fact, his target date is the Fourth of July.

What many casual observers have failed to account for is that we are currently in an age of new media, where blogs and independent film have access to mass audiences through their computer screens.  So while Hollywood attempts to hedge their products to the known markets carefully studied by studios run by mostly progressive investments injected into the studio system and filmgoers still show a willingness to spend $10 to $15 for a movie experience in a neighborhood multiplex, film makers like John Aglialoro are making his films for the new media market.  While critics blasted the opening of Atlas Shrugged Part 2 in October of 2012 hoping to kill the film for its conservative messages, the DVD sales are sizzling in the spring of 2013 as audiences concerned with being seen in public viewing such a controversial film are more than willing to watch the movie in the privacy of their own home.

I think Aglialoro is at a similar place that George Lucas was at when he released his film THX-1138 to theaters in 1973.  Nobody knew what to do with the film studios tried to cut the hell out of it.  It took a long, long time for people to even accept THX-1138 which I believe was based closely on Ayn Rand’s novel Anthem, although I doubt he’d admit it in the light of day today—for fear of being lynched.  Aglialoro is making an independent film in the Atlas pictures with a message that will upset a major portion of the American population, and he knows it—which is the point of the film.  Art is not supposed to always be didactic stimulation of pleasurable emotions.  Sometimes, it’s a mirror that we must look at which reflects the kind of society we are.  This was the case in one of my all time favorite independent films that Francis Ford Coppola produced called Koyaanisqatsi (English pronunciation: /koʊjɑːnɪsˈkɑːtsiː/)[1] also known as Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance.  It’s a 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke.  Koyaanisqatsi is one of my favorite films; I love it so much I have the soundtrack on CD.  But, it could be said that much of the “green movement” was launched because of such films as progressives took the message to radical extremes which we see in the modern age 20 to 30 years later.  Koyaanisqatsi as a film released today would be lucky to make $1 million dollars at the box office because it is just too heavy, and obscure for the average viewer.  But, because of VHS video tape, and now DVDs, Koyaanisqatsi has been able to build up a kind of cult following over the last 30 years, and Coppola and Godfrey Reggio understood this when they produced the film. The goal was not to make money, although there does need to be a financial model that recovers the cost of making the film, the point was to make a statement about a “life out of balance.”

The filmmakers of Koyaanisqatsi interpreted that “out of balance life” with a progressive lens, but the way they recorded the impact of that balance was dramatic, and wonderful.  However, the Atlas Shrugged films are also about a “life out of balance” but the solution goes several steps further than Koyaanisqatsi in analyzing the answer, which Aglialoro is quite well aware of.  In a recent interview with Politico, Aglialoro explained why there was so much pushback against the Atlas films and why he is proceeding with the third one to an entertainment community that is shocked by his tenacity, “We’re not going to get critics coming on board,” Aglialoro said. “The academic-media complex out there doesn’t want to like the work, (Atlas films) doesn’t want to understand it, fears the lack of government in their lives, wants the presence of government taking care of us. … The MSNBC crowd doesn’t like us.”  He’s right.  Most of our current society the world over wants to believe in social theories that don’t work, and many more have built their lives around the type of balance shifting seen in Koyaanisqatsi only they are the cause of the destruction.  They are the cause of the vacated buildings that were demolished from the public housing projects so famously destroyed in slow motion during the 1982 classic.

The making of the Atlas films are not only an adaptation of the Ayn Rand classic 1957 novel, but a statement about our current society.  “The president said in his State of the Union address something to the effect of how preserving our individual freedoms means we must have collective action,” Aglialoro said. “Well, that’s contradicting the terms of the Declaration of Independence, that individual liberty is what we’re all about. So, there’s a clear opposition between that and Ayn Rand’s principles, based around life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”  When most people are guilty of committing such contradictions, it is highly likely that they will not rush out to see a film that exploits their contradictions.  However, because people are generally good, or at least want to do well, they do watch these movies on their own terms and take in the information slowly over time.

Aglialoro wanted very much to rush Atlas Shrugged Part II out prior to the election hoping that politicians would jump on the bandwagon of the messages articulated in his films.  But even long time Ayn Rand supporters like Paul Ryan pulled a Judas trying to distance himself from his support of the novel Atlas Shrugged which he has given away to staff members for years as presents.  When he joined up with Mitt Romney for a Presidential run they attempted to play it safe and move away from the perceived radicalism of supporting Ayn Rand—to their own demise. “It would have served the campaign well if he would have embraced the natural way to capitalism that Ayn Rand, and I think Romney and Ryan should have quoted [her] over and over and over again during the campaign, that it’s the producers who should be applauded and appreciated and not denigrated, that ‘rich’ is not a dirty, four-letter word. It’s a good, four-letter word.”

At a FreedomWorks event prior to the release of Part II Harmon Kaslow, one of the producers and right-hand man to John Aglialoro gave me a lapel pin molded in the symbol of the Atlas Shrugged production company.  It was the same button he was wearing as he spoke to nearly 20,000 people at the Duke Energy Center in September of 2012.  The lapel pin is one that I now wear just about everywhere I go because it symbolizes not a collective connection to the filmmakers, but the understanding that we are part of an exclusive club that “understands” the answer to our modern problems in America are not only addressed in films like Koyaanisqatsi.  It is in the Atlas films that the real solutions are being explored, and the pill is hard to swallow for most people—because it requires them to think completely different about most everything in their life, and they are uncomfortable with that knowledge.  The button that I wear is the official membership pin for Galt’s Gulch where people who think along the lines that I do spend their spare time in the same spirit that it was done in the novel—which will be explored extensively in Part III which is now in production.

To go one step beyond the lapel pin that Kaslow gave me, at the premier of Atlas II buttons in the sign of the dollar were handed out to viewers because those present understood that the film Aglialoro was making had within it the answers America needs.  It is only a matter of time before the rest of the world comes to understand the lessons.  The people with the button were those closest to that realization.  It’s not to say that you must have a button or be a part of an exclusive club to understand the work of Ayn Rand.  But in wearing the lapel pin it lets others know that they are not alone, and that everyone in the world is not a complete idiot.  Objectivism is spreading as the work done by The Ayn Rand Institute and The Atlas Society are helping more and more people deal with the difficulties of understanding the philosophy of Objectivism being introduced to them in the films John Aglialoro is producing.  I personally feel that Ayn Rand’s philosophy is but a first step in a new direction that America should have always been traveling down.  Objectivism is not the end of the journey, but only the beginning.  Ayn Rand does not have all the answers, but the ones she proposes are good first steps in the right direction.  I find that the philosophy of Robert Pirsig takes Rand’s thoughts to another level with his work on the Metaphysics of Quality.   In his two books Zen and the Art of Motorcycle and Lila Pirsig without intending to, he proved Ayn Rand’s theories, and therefore Aristotle’s original arguments over Plato correct with an actual science that breaks down “quality” into definitions that can be understood.  The path of modern philosophy is on that course starting with Rand, being explored by Pirsig and then being further refined in modern and future philosophers.  But the philosophies of Kant, and Marx with the modern Chomsky are going to be rejected over the next two hundred years—mark it on your calendar.  The war we are currently in that Aglialoro is fighting with his Atlas films is one of crawling out from under the failed philosophies of Marx and advancing Rand.  Therefore, Aglialoro’s efforts have been successful, and it is wonderful to see that he is able to produce his third installment after so much tribulation and social resistance.  In the end will turn out to be a work of resurrection for the country of America.

The lapel pins that we wear in public are so that we can recognize one another from the dangerous souls that are still clinging to the failed philosophies of the past.  Like the film They Live (CLICK FOR REVIEW) where the heroes found that the entire planet was plagued with aliens disguised inside of human bodies and they could only tell the difference between them and the aliens by the sunglasses they wore, the pins let us know that the wearer is a person of thought and intelligence who is committed to the future of the human race, instead of the looting destruction of it.  The lapel pins are acts of defiance against a society that has gone mad with stupidity.  But the pins also mean more than that; it is for them that John Aglialoro is making the Atlas films.  As an independent film maker he knows that time will bring more people to seek their own lapel pins, but for now, they are refined to the quiet of their own homes to watch Atlas in stunned silence.  The people who wear their pins proudly in public are those who rush out into the public to see the film in a theater and do not fear public support of such a controversial philosopher in Ayn Rand.  In that spirit, I am very ecstatic that Part III will arrive in theaters in the summer of 2014.  I will be the first one in line and I might well be covered in lapel pins, like the guy below.

A Modern Thomas Paine: The way a letter to politicians should be written

The letter below is from the website of The Cincinnati Tea Party.  CLICK HERE TO VISIT.  This is the way to write a letter to politicians. 

One of our members has drafted a truly great letter to our local rep. Please read it and if so moved, copy and tweak it for your use. We truly have a modern-day Thomas Paine in our midst.

Dear Brad,

As I began to react to my immense disappointment in the absence of your commitment to Rep. Bridenstine’s effort to defund Obamacare, it struck me how intrusive this legislation has been in my life and everyone copied above. For the last four years, life has revolved around this monster. I made four trips to DC and was in the Capital when it passed. Three weeks later, I found myself in UC’s Neuroscience ICU following my husband’s brain injury declining trauma research participation for fear the data could compromise his level of care. My fellow Ohioans spent thousands of hours and dollars to pass the Healthcare Freedom Amendment by 66%. The 2nd District liberty grassroots committed to your candidacy to replace Jean Schmidt due to her willfully serving as a puppet for the RINOs in leadership and failing to represent us on this issue. Now we must spend more hours of our family time beating back the tentacle of Medicaid expansion due to the unprincipled action of Governor Kasich and I’m spending inordinate amounts of time tending to the enormous regulations put upon small businesses along with the 40% premium increase. All the while, the power to stop this has existed in the House, the GOP Majority House, since January 2011. This could have ended long ago if John Boehner would have led the 2010 grassroots elected members in that direction instead of capitulating to Obama and playing politics. His continued denial of our existence speaks volumns of his lack of character.

Rep Bridenstine summed it up best when asked about the effort,”if you’re going to make an offer, you better be prepared to walk away from the table”. I couldn’t agree more. This nonsense about the destruction to the GOP if they are blamed for a government shutdown is a joke.  Newsflash, the bomb has detonated. If any republican wants to survive the fallout, they better be ready to take the bold, conservative stance to defund Obamacare. The excuse that it won’t pass the Senate is just that, an excuse. Do the work of the House of Appropriations, period. Essential services continue under a shutdown. Most of us remember the shutdowns under Reagan and Clinton, and more importantly we remember that our lives and families never felt threatened. How is it that now we feel threatened when the federal government is operating as usual? It would be funny if it weren’t so heartbreaking. I find myself making every financial, actually every decision considering the reach and hand of government. The reality is we are well down the road to serfdom. We don’t even think like free people anymore.

Please remember you are a Representative of the 2nd District and only the 2nd District. We will not accept rationalization for any funding for Obamacare appropriated in the next CR or any other master plan of the abysmal GOP leadership and their henchmen. We have explicitly expressed that defunding Obamacare is THE top priority. Obamacare is destroying businesses, families and lives. My support will be dependent upon this most basic of requests. The man in cardiac arrest doesn’t need the world’s best heart surgeon, he needs CPR to prevent dying on the table. Please recognize the urgency we find ourselves in and leave the so-called chess players to join those who stand as defenders of the Constitution. I implore you to reconsider your position on this. Nothing else of the 113th Congress will matter if Obamacare is fully funded. Geitner has already started the conversation by stating that it’s ridiculous we have a debt ceiling. They know once it’s appropriated for, that by default the ceiling will be raised indefinitely. Maybe the current, never before done, suspension was a trial run to ease us into this mentality. It’s madness.

This is the last letter that I will send of this nature. I hope future communications will be to acknowledge appreciation for efforts and votes that empower Americans instead of government. I refuse to let those that I have supported and promoted place me in a position to beg for the very representation they promised. I’m tired of my life being dictated by the need to babysit politicians. If I’m looking at it from a cost benefit perspective, the grassroots would be better served to begin grooming a primary challenger after every election as leverage and insurance, instead of this perpetual frustration and disappointment. I want some measure of my life back.

Please know it is with much regret that I send this message to you, but I love my children and my country too much to leave it unsaid. I will be in prayer for our Republic, for those who defend her and for those statesmen who fight against the tyranny. That reminds me of something you said at the 2012 LR dinner. You asked us why our enemies would fight so hard to destroy our freedom; because it’s priceless. You offered the analogy of the military as our insurance policy and their funding as the premium. Congress has that same duty and it comes in the steadfast fight against the plunder, oppression and abuse of power that is destroying this nation.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”– Galatians 5:1

Elmwood Place Speed Cameras are Illegal: Scott Sloan and Mike Allen do Cincinnati justice as The Enquirer lays off 97 workers

“Elmwood Place is engaged in nothing more than a high-tech game of Three-card Monty,” Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman wrote in his recent decision on speed cameras in that small Cincinnati village. “It is a scam the motorist cannot win.”  With that court decision Judge Ruehlman invalidated the legality of speed camera usage in his village of 2000 residents.  The speed cameras were simply money-making schemes created as yet another way to raise taxes on people who already pay too much—and Ruehlman did what he should have, which is remarkable in its rarity.  But leading up to the judge’s decision was Scott Sloan and Michael K. Allen both of 700 WLW who covered this story for many months and applied pressure so that the review of the speed cameras would be addressed, because without their involvement as media personalities, Elmwood Place would still be engaged in the corrupt practice.  For more elaboration, listen to the broadcasts from WLW below and grab a snack.  They make for some good radio. Also, be sure to watch the news clips below for much more background information

Here is the case as it has appeared in USA Today:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/08/speed-camera-ruling/1974369/

For a radio host, it is difficult to show up for work in the morning coffee in hand and resist reading out of the newspaper.  Making news and obtaining original sources is much more difficult than just providing analysis on what other reporters have obtained.  In Cincinnati for Scott Sloan at 700 WLW his job is going to become much more difficult as The Cincinnati Enquirer has just let go of 97 of their workers, 1/3rd of their entire workforce, due to their poor numbers and lack of ability to change with the new media that is beginning to insert itself into the political scene.  In that new media blogs like this one are doing the reporting newspapers used to be known for leaving special interests unable to sit on reporters to contain stories or tilt them in their favor.  Independent reporters in new media are usually doing the task of journalism without any financial compensation so they are driven by passion which is very dangerous for the mechanisms of power that have made vast amounts of money off public scams.  Since The Enquirer did not meet the challenges of new media and instead held on to their empire with a stubborn refusal to adjust, they are finding themselves on the verge of extinction.   Scott Sloan who is part of the old media, but also the new, has gained a reputation for doing his own research and breaking stories without being tipped off first from the papers of Cincinnati.  It is because of this tendency that the Elmwood Place story evolved into the ruling by Judge Ruehlman.

When I first wrote my book Tail of the Dragon which contains as one of its themes the tendency of law enforcement to unjustly pull over motorists for the sole purpose of issuing traffic citations my editor had some deep concerns about my statements in the novel.   She found it appalling that Tennessee police for the Highway Patrol had quotas they were expected to achieve each month in order to be ranked as good officers deserving pay rates.  The quotas traffic cops were expected to achieve were for the purpose of raising revenue off motorists using safety as an excuse, and that ruffled the feathers of my editor’s East Coast sensibilities.   After I provided article after article from all over The United States about the police practice being wide-spread, she accepted my position reluctantly and by the end of the manuscript edit had turned into quite a rebel herself.  The first run through the manuscript had nearly as much opposition as I received from education opponents when I first purposed locally that something was wrong with the salary structure of teaching positions and was the cause of the constant need for tax levies for school districts.  Ironically, it was Scott Sloan who originally listened to me and broke that story which took on a life of its own and forced changes that otherwise would never have occurred.   CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  But my novel took a hard shot at the legal system behind revenue enhancement that most people just did not feel comfortable talking about just two years ago during the editing process.  By the time the book was released in the fall of 2012, the political climate had changed and law enforcement had become even more arrogant in their grabs for more streams of revenue.  It was around the time of my novel’s release that Elmwood Place and New Miami put up speed cameras to take pictures of unsuspecting vehicles and mail the tickets to violating motorists without even using a police officer in the traditional sense.  Police had become so arrogant that they dropped the mask of justice completely in favor of cameras to do the work of revenue generation.

The questions my editor posed to me were due to the fact she had accepted law enforcement was always on the side of honesty and created laws on behalf of safety for all people.  My position in Tail of the Dragon was that governments were using the revenue from speeding citations behind a mask of safety to create a hidden tax.  This seemed unfathomable to her Massachusetts eyes until I provided a lot of testimony defending my position, the kind of information I obtained while researching the novel which ended up directly in the story.  But the clarity of abuse which many have long suspected was never more apparent than when Judge Ruehlman delivered his scathing rebuke of the Elmwood Place traffic cameras.  In the wake of his ruling the revenue collected thus far will now have to be returned putting the village in an even more embarrassing situation than what Arlington Heights had to endure when Scott Sloan and Brendan Keefe of Channel 9 News recently exposed the citation racket there as well.

My aim in writing Tail of the Dragon was that readers would begin to question the nature behind traffic citations as not being implemented for safety, but the cozy relationships behind insurance companies and government looking to pay for their inflated budgets at the expense of the motorist.  The laws created are not for safety, but for the opportunity to create another revenue stream as lawmakers know that the laws are so ridiculous that nobody will obey, making citations easy to issue.  So I am more than happy to see that Mike Allen and Scott Sloan have found traction on this issue and created lasting legal changes.  And I am even more pleased to learn that there is a Judge in Robert Ruehlman who wasn’t afraid to put colorful language into his scathing rebuke, applying pressure to towns and villages all over Ohio to amend their scams against motorists with hidden taxation.  As for the fate of The Enquirer, after the hit piece they did on me almost one year ago to the day, I will admit to a bit of joy in knowing that the paper is failing.  I hate to see anybody lose their job, but when word came back to me at how Michael Clark was hailed as a hero for how he framed his article about me to the whims of school levy protestors, and many of those same 97 people now losing their jobs at the printing press laughed and giggled at my expense in their break room—I can promise that I won’t lose any sleep now that those same people will be on the unemployment line.  Good riddance to your failed newspaper and the policies that put you there.  Life goes on for the rest of us.  Scott Sloan is making his own stories and is doing what media members should be without taking direction from The Cincinnati Enquirer.  Mike Allen is continuing to show his resilience as a legal crusader much to the benefit of the public.  And I am enjoying the sales from my new book that has been sold out at Amazon for over three weeks now.  (YES IT’S AVAILABLE ELSEWHERE—TRY BARNES AND NOBEL IF AMAZON IS SOLD OUT—CLICK HERE)  But Michael Clark, who wrote the hit piece on me one year ago, who once told me at a school board meeting that I should bring stories to him first instead of WLW because all they did was read on the air what he wrote in the paper—well, the results speak for themselves.  Those 97 people probably wouldn’t have lost their job if you had done your job better Clark, and not been a lap dog for school systems.  There are a lot of stories that need to be reported like the Elmwood Place story, and Scott Sloan is doing the work among others in new media.  If The Enquirer had done its job and not leaned so far to the political left in a very conservative town, the paper might be adding jobs, instead of taking them away.

Have a listen to what Darryl Parks of 700 WLW said about “new media” and the tragedy at The Cincinnati Enquirer. He’s had his share of hit pieces done against him from that paper as well.  Gotta watch who you piss on while climbing to the top.  Because you’ll see them on the way back down.

THE NOTHING

For years now I have wondered if Glenn Beck was getting his show topics based on my articles here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.  What he speaks about and what I write about seemed to parallel closely over a long period of time.  I know I don’t have time to watch and listen to Glenn Beck in much detail.  My exposure to Beck is usually what people send to me in the form of clips through email.  On Beck’s end, given his success over the last 5 years, I’m sure he has the same problem that I do only 100 times worse, so I doubt he has time to read my articles—unless somebody he trusts sends them to him.  But it is beyond coincidence that he has arrived at just about the same place that I have in regard to public education at virtually the same time.  The only rational explanation is that people like Glenn Beck, Judge Napolitano, John Stossel and of course myself have arrived at the same independent conclusions based on our observations of public education because logic has delivered us to truth’s door.  The conclusion of those observations that is difficult for many to hear is that if you love your child, you should take them far away from public education.  If you love your country, you should take your children out of public education.  If you love humanity, you should take your children out of public education.  In short, public education is a terribly corrosive social element that is destroying everything we are as human beings toward an aim that is beyond human comprehension.  Watch Glenn Beck state the same things I have been saying for quite a long time now:

When I first worked with No Lakota Levy to reform the cost impact of our local government school I didn’t feel so strongly until I learned how mindless the collectivism in public education truly was.  But a few years into the levy fighting efforts and three elections later which were ignored by the administrators, I began to realize that Glenn Beck’s statements above were true, and a sad realization.  It was actually hard for me to accept and I have never been a fan of public education or collective endeavors of any kind.  Even in my own school days when many of the coaches wanted me to be on their track and football teams I was always hesitant because of the collective nature of the “team” concept.  Even as a young man I never yielded my individuality to a collective endeavor—so with that position in mind it was hard for me to realize that public education needed to be scrapped in America in favor of a system that is independently competitive, and innovative.  Anything attached to government control needs to be rejected and since The Department of Education was created at the federal level in 1979, public education has quickly degraded into a propaganda arm of progressive causes.  But why is this so?

The best explanation for the degradation tendency of public education and collectivism in general cannot be found in the rally cry toward socialism or communism that comes from the political leanings of progressives—it’s a far deeper philosophical problem than those types of ideologies.  To date, the best explanation behind the type of evil that is in the wake of public education was best defined in the fantasy film The Never Ending Story which came out in the 1980s just a few years after the creation of the DOE.  The Never Ending Story is a fantasy about a young hero who must slay a fathomless enemy called The Nothing and the pursuit of the hero’s journey for the main character is to learn that it is imagination that destroys The Nothing.  The way to destroy the evil that is destroying the world is to recharge the world with imagination—(thought).

Childhood mythologies often contain within them the stories of morality that all of society needs to keep order to their own value system.  As anyone who reads me often understands, mythology is the most important ingredient that a society produces which is why I so openly support the Star Wars franchise, because the product of Lucasfilm is in the manufacturing of values society is hungry for.  The reason that fantasy is so popular culturally in movies and books is because humankind seeks to counter the effects of the mythical “Nothing” which imposes itself on their lives—as defined in The Never Ending Story.  WATCH THE BELOW CLIP to learn more about The Nothing.

When I was in the fourth grade my class went on a field trip to see the Cincinnati Pops at Music Hall play a symphonic rendition of John Williams’s music for Star Wars.  Hanging behind the orchestra was a giant projection screen which displayed slides of the movie characters during the performance and the entire building rumbled with cheers as each slide arrived in procession celebrating the movie that had taken America by storm in 1977.  Star Wars to all my young classmates from schools all over Cincinnati were being enchanted with the values of the music and the film behind the characters that contained limitless imagination and boundless energy.  I thought the experience was a wonderful one.  But later, when we returned back to the school on a silent school bus and were back in the seats of our classroom our teacher unleashed a fury of anger at how inconsiderate we were for cheering on the heroes of Star Wars and ignoring the efforts of the members of the symphony.  Even as a young fellow in the fourth grade I shook my head at the obvious ignorance of the teacher. I knew that the teacher represented The Nothing well before The Never Ending Story so accurately placed a name on the type of evil she was spewing.  Her values taught to her as an educator pursing the field of instruction through years of college thought the symphony was more valuable than the characters the music reflected—her values came from The Nothing.  She valued the collective symphony as the source of goodness behind Star Wars instead of the individual characters who were the real heroes of the afternoon.  The music only supported the plight of the heroes.  She misidentified the value system of the entire event.

Years later when I first saw The Never Ending Story I had an awwh haaa moment while watching it, and it hit me most when I was first married and had a young child of my own sitting on my lap looking for family friendly programming to show my daughter.  When the wolf explained what The Nothing was, I immediately thought of the political world in the wake of the Reagan Presidency, my personal experiences with public education, the relationship between public sector jobs and private sector and all the drama of local politics.  The situation in America was not quite as bad as it is now so the impact of The Nothing was not yet in place so obviously.  I could see The Nothing even then as clearly as can be expected for something that doesn’t exists–because even a blank space is “something.”  The Nothing can only be seen for what it destroys, not for any mass it holds.  It can only be measured by what is missing from one moment to the next.

Now, in 2013 many years after the release of The Never Ending Story following 4 years of George Bush senior, 8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Bush Jr., and now 5 years of Barack Obama as Presidents of The United States, it is easy to see that The Nothing is moving easily through the world and it uses people like the wolf did in The Never Ending Story to carry the message of The Nothing.  The Nothing seeks to destroy thinking.  It is what Ayn Rand calls “evasion” in the philosophy of Objectivism.  In mythologies like Star Wars it is called The Dark Side of the Force. But in The Never Ending Story, it is most accurately described as “The Nothing.”

The products of The Nothing are all forms of collectivism which seek to strip away individual thought and action on behalf of a greater good.  The greater good is never on behalf of individual freedom, it is always in service of The Nothing—the evil behind the evil that some cultures call The Devil, Sith Lords, demons, or any face of sinister display. The attempt to articulate such collectivism with a face only names the crime—but does not define the origin of the crime, or the tendency to succumb to it.  In public education young people are stripped away of their minds and are vehicles for The Nothing which has slowly destroyed the entire world right in front of our faces.  No one person controls The Nothing.  But individual people dance to its strings just as the wolf did in The Never Ending Story.  In that context it could be said that The Nothing is behind government seeking to increase taxes forcing parents to have two incomes to accomplish what one used to—to strip mothers away from their children leaving kids open and vulnerable to The Nothing of public education.  It is The Nothing that moves the mouth of Barack Obama seeking to place every child in America during age four into pre-school so that a mind numb teacher can begin to teach young people to turn off their thoughts, and imaginations in dedication to The Nothing.  The Nothing is often difficult to see.  But in public education, it is evident for those with eyes that are open and willing to take notice.  Public schools—government schools–are dedicated to The Nothing like a religion.  To see The Nothing speak to people and learn what is NOT there.  That is how you know The Nothing is at work.

It is The Nothing that Pink Floyd sang about in their Wall album.  Many pot smoking patrons declared that the movie The Wall could only be understood when they were “high,” (mentally impaired, intoxicated—or otherwise inebriated) which has been the running dialogue among young people for the last 30 years.  But for me, as a young man of 16, 17, and 18 years old who didn’t do drugs of any kind, I understood The Wall on my first viewing, and knew the protagonist was fighting against The Nothing ultimately.  Pot smokers could only begin to wrap their minds around freedom from The Nothing when they were “stoned” and had turned off the rules of society.  This is why people do drugs and get drunk, so they can have momentary release from the grip of The Nothing.  But when the intoxication wears off, The Nothing has them again, and the poor souls become mindless dogs lobbying for more school levies, advocating more socialism under President Obama, and seeking to expand government so that it destroys each and every individual on planet Earth.

I know that many reading this will wonder how I can connect all these dots, and may even question whether or not I am even sane—because relative to their social position, these are outlandish claims.  For many people fantasies like The Never Ending Story or Star Wars are just entertainment and the lessons of mythology contained within those stories are dead to them.  Those are the kinds of people who are the wolves in our society who help The Nothing destroy the world without knowing it.  Like the teacher from the fourth grade who represented The Nothing yelling at our class her embarrassment of students clapping and cheering the images on a slide show instead of the live collective symphony of the Cincinnati Pops, The Nothing destroys by ripping away the source of goodness through deferment.  The teacher played her role in destroying the imagination of her students year by year until the kids were less mentally than what they were when they first entered kindergarten.  Teachers like that fourth grade instructor plant the seeds of The Nothing so that the adult of 50 years of age has less of a mind than the 3-year-old, because The Nothing lives in their minds and eats their thoughts.  It doesn’t mean the 50-year-old does not have statistical knowledge.  But the ability to think independently has been destroyed in such individuals—and that is the result of The Nothing.

When Glenn Beck says to take children out of public schools he is saying the same thing that I have been saying and for the same reasons.  However, it is not just collectivism that is the ultimate threat, but it is The Nothing that is behind the collectivism that we must fight against.  The way to beat The Nothing is with thought and independent values produced by a mind free of collectivism.  That was the lesson of The Never Ending Story which never does end.  We are living the story today as we have in the past and will in the future.  It never goes away; The Nothing will always seek to destroy mankind with the obscure allure of collectivism.  It takes an imagination to see the truth and understand the shape of The Nothing.  It also takes an imagination to apply thought and mythology to the legal world of the functioning adult which is what I spend a lot of time doing here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.  Just because it is difficult for many to grapple with, does not mean the evil does not exist.  To stop that evil, every parent who claims to truly love their child should pull their children from public schools as soon as possible and find an alternative.  If parents do not do this, they will subject their children to a doomed life in service of The Nothing, which already holds the hearts and minds of 99.999999999999999999999% of the adult population.  Only a few—like Glenn Beck has managed to escape and report what is obvious to those not consumed by The Nothing—that public education is the vehicle that is used to destroy our children—and the problem is far bigger than most people are willing to accept.  But The Nothing still is there hunting us all for its collective consumption in a quest that will last all eternity if left unchecked.

It is because of what I have learned about public education that my feelings have evolved over time to seek answers for these modern problems in the myths that have built our society.  The logic of political life does not contain the answers—yet the childhood stories of our past contains the wisdom needed to understand the obscure problem of our present—why our children are growing ignorant over time instead of more intelligent and why our adults walk around like mindless zombies full of arrogance due to their years of exposure to The Nothing.  At golf courses they add up their scores over a day time beverage and whisk their children to and fro soccer practice thinking they are parents of the year—only to discover too late that they have delivered their children to the gates of doom.  The trivia of the adult, and school levy supporter who blindly believes that public education is the savior of society, are simply agents of The Nothing who reside behind all forms of collectivism and is instructed to our world population through public education universally committed to the kind of evil that only occupied the minds of childhood nightmares when the purity of youth could still tell the difference.

That is how bad the system is.  If you have a child in public school, they are being trained by those methods.  Every child in a school district is being exposed to these things, and it is our tax money from property values that pay for it.
