Ayn Rand Versus James Joyce: The Divorce of America from Europe

I feel sorry for people who feel this way. The reviewer simply can’t relate. They have no concept of having the kind of passion for something where sleep, rest and comfort are secondary concerns. They don’t feel those kinds of things, so they think good characters are the type of people who strive to have faults, where they work simply to eat, drink, rest, and have sex. People like that are like monkeys at a zoo looking at human visitors across a gulf of intelligence, beyond the barriers of a cage, and can’t understand why zoo visitors have drinks, and strollers, and small humans in their arms with sunglasses shielding their eyes from the sun. They are primitives, sad and left behind lost forever to faulty thinking and stupidity.

That was a comment I made to an article published on Atlas Shrugged is a Ridiculous Book posted in the Galt’s Gulch site where I have quite a few friends.  I read the review linked below and thought that the author Robert Nielsen did a good job citing his opinions, that he did thoroughly read the book and made an effort to have pointed comments.  I thought the author was a generally curious person of above average intelligence.  However, I also thought that the author might be a radical left winged oriented socialist (Democrat) who was a staunch Keynesian and after looking into the guy a bit, that is exactly what he was.  He was a European born and raised amidst the socialism of Europe and simply had no mental mechanisms that could relate to the novel Atlas Shrugged and believed that through democratic consensus that just because a majority of the population on earth does not think like the characters in Atlas Shrugged, that the book is ridiculous and should not have an audience.  Nielsen had a number of opinionated passages in his article, but the one below struck me as being the most revealing.

“All of the heroes have this absurd element to them. They don’t stop to eat or rest a single time in the book and it is casually thrown in that they haven’t slept for two or three days as though that would have no effect on them. They have no hobbies or interested (sic) outside work. Even when they are bleeding they don’t feel any pain. In other words they are soulless robots, machines good for working and nothing else. Atlas Shrugged bears a strong resemblance to Fascist propaganda in its treatment of heroes.  There is a strong emphasis on the cult of personality, of worshipping men of action in contrast to the masses who are too stupid and cowardly to achieve greatness.  Democracy destroys accountability whereas dictatorship is the only system where anyone is responsible.  All of the best firms in the book are named after their owner and collapse without them.”

Nielsen says a lot here and represents a large portion of the world who have grown up for generations under kings, princes, fascist rulers, and tyrannical dictators who to them represent the “right” on a political spectrum and democratic socialists, communists, labor unions, and religious collectivists on the other representing the “left.”  Yet for me personally, I don’t even consider any of the categories on that scale relevant and long ago designated Europe and its history to be corrosive to the human experience.  My ideal of a good time is not sitting in a “pub” with my mates watching a socialist soccer game and thinking that James Joyce was an intellectual giant as the benchmark of good literature.  The guy could write complicated metaphors—but to what end—to be haunted by dreams of a fragmented past as in Finnegan’s Wake or to visit a brothel in Ulysses.  Nielsen is from Dublin, and so was Joyce and because of my experience with those works, I feel I have a pretty good feel for life in Ireland and what it represents—and none of those things are concepts that are attractive to me.

I find it utterly disgusting that so many Americans have been bred through the education system to believe that the cities of Europe are exotic destinations of culture and sophistication.  To me the entire land mass from the shores of France to the end of Russia protruding out into the Bering Strait is a corrupt embodiment and continuation of The Dark Ages.  The people from those lands have been conquered and beaten so many ways by so many tyrants that the only way out of the cycle was “democracy” through majority rule.  And if the majority are idiots, than so be it.  Visiting a BW3’s on a Friday night disgusts me as much as it would if I were in a Dublin Pub with a bunch of socialists banging mugs of beer together in communion around a soccer match—so my feelings are not specific to Europe.  And before I say any more, one of my son-in-laws is from England, just outside of London on the eastern side.  My other daughter dated a guy from the boarder of Scotland.  I have family members from Europe, and I deal with people almost every day in every time zone from London to New Zealand, so I have a very good understanding about the lifestyle of Europe which leaves me shaking my head when Americans seek to mimic that cold landmass with a history of oppression extending from here to the dawn of man shown in the Caves of Lascaux.  America was founded by people seeking freedom from Europe and they were willing to die to leave that place.  In a lot of ways the pilgrims were the original Gaultchers from Atlas Shrugged they were looking to be free of the religious and political persecution of Europe, which still exists to this very day in Keynesian economics.  The thought process moved from churches into the economy but the mentality is very much the same.

Once America was founded and Europe saw that they could visit without being killed by natives, they settled the New England area and brought their stupid European socialism with them in the form of “progressivism,” and started voting for Democrats while encourage America to give up football and making “soccer” the national game…………………………..NO.  In many ways Europe is still stuck under the veil of tyranny that they have been confined with since there was an Ice Age and it is utterly disgusting.  Atlas Shrugged is one of the first great American novels produced under a relatively new country with a new way of thinking.  Now of course the jealous European trained in the liberal schools of Ireland, England and France will scoff at the characters of Atlas Shrugged because they are clearly outside of the European experience.

In reference to many of the successful Americans that I know, it is true that if they do not come to work, or leave a company after they have led it, the company does collapse.  Making money is their hobby.  I remember a lunch meeting that I had in downtown Cincinnati with some very influential financiers and patent attorneys where the bill was $11,000.  These guys did this every day of the week.  They made their money under an American capitalist system and could not have done what they were doing in Europe because people like Robert Nielson would think that they had equal rights to that money just because their mothers gave birth to them in Dublin.  The people I had lunch with had a hobby that was “making money” which is why they had it.  The wealth they produced carried over into every aspect of society from the nice waitress who tended to them daily to the people who imported the food required to feed them.  If those types of people didn’t show up for work one day, or decided to go on a vacation, their businesses fell apart because “the people” working for them lost focus and drifted without proper leadership.  That is not fascism that is leadership.  Fascism is where such a human trait is taken advantage of.

America has created its own definitions and fascism is not even an option.  A business leader of an industry is not a fascist, they are a job creator.  People are free to leave that job if they discover they don’t like the direction of the company.  But to allow a fascist to rule over the entire nation of America—that simply isn’t going to happen.   Europeans can’t wrap their mind around that ideal; it doesn’t fit with their history and their foundations of education.  To them the political “right” is fascists like Mussolini and Hitler and the “left” are people like Lenin, Stalin, and Marx.  America rejected all those idiots because they are collectivists, and in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged she is introducing an entirely new way of looking at the old problems so that Americans can understand why their capitalist system is so superior to European socialism.  Those in love with “democracy” (majority rule, even if a majority are fools) is to commit a political and economic structure around collectivism.  In America where individualism is the foundation concept, collectivism is a curse.  It is a waste of time to achieve group consensus because not everyone is capable of making proper decisions.  The reason for this has been explored by Robert Pirsig in the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, another revolutionary work of philosophy done specifically in America.  Slowly the old philosophers of Europe, people like Nietzsche, Marx, and Descartes are being replaced by Rand, Pirsig, and Adam Smith.

The characters of Atlas Shrugged are my kind of people.  They represent my daily life and I do feel sorry for those who can’t relate.  It must be terrible to wake up each morning in such a fog that human faults are the first area of focus.  It must be terrible to even consider if “group consensus” is something to measure before taking action.  I once went to Disney World with a large group and watched everyone standing in Tomorrow Land for an hour arguing about which thing to do first. Finally, I got sick of it and gathered up a crew who wanted to go with me and I left to explore the park.  We had a blast because most people just want to have someone give them direction in life.  They don’t want the burden of thinking, they just want to follow—and that’s fine so long as they don’t get in the way.  But if they try to hold things up with indecision and personal insecurities, then it is unacceptable to me.  The primary question explored in Atlas Shrugged is if the majority should be allowed to hold up the few, when it is the few who move the world, and the answer is no.

People like me do not reach out to the “democracies” of the world trying to sell Ayn Rand or Atlas Shrugged because I really don’t care if people like Robert Nielson accepts it or rejects it.  I just don’t want Nielson in a position through his Keynesian economics to hold me up when I want to do something.  If he wants to hang out in a Dublin pub watching soccer matches instead of being productive, that is his decision—but he does not have a right to hinder me.  The point of Atlas Shrugged is that when this process happens, people like Nielson do suffer.   Europe sucks…………..most everyone is stuck somewhere between fascism and communism.  The topless beaches of France and Spain do not give culture to a society—it does not make them enlightened.  French wine is not better than California wine and the Caves of Lascaux are representative of the same tribal collectivism as the Navajo of the American Southwest—both represent primitive collectivist cultures mired with a basic premise of tribal sacrifice.  The America that took Adam Smith’s lead, and John Locke and was first commented on by Ayn Rand, then Robert Pirsig is one that exists outside of European definitions for things.  It is not my task or those of my friends in Galt’s Gulch to “sell” Rand to anybody.  Her books have sold for decades quite well on their own—people come to her work in their own time in their own way.  The difference between a republic and a democracy is that a republic is supposed to represent different people as a representative as opposed to a democracy with majority rule.  America is a republic not a filthy democracy!  A group of thugs do not have a right to impose on me their beliefs just because they outnumber me.  The stupid will always outnumber the intelligent—so the stupid should not have power over the intelligent.  The intelligent should not be hampered by fools, lowlifes, and insecure collectivists.  That is what Atlas Shrugged is essentially about and why it offendshttp://youtu.be/bWebZ_OqU_c so many people.  I can understand that many people don’t like the book or the movies if they identify with the villains—nobody likes being called names.  But for years in every movie and book that has attacked capitalism, they have attacked my values, which is what the artists have done to people like me—so Atlas Shrugged is art that I can relate to.  I don’t expect the democratic masses to enjoy it—it wasn’t written for them.

It is sad that people like Robert Nielsen are stuck behind on an island of Keynesian economics, socialism, communism, and soccer matches over beer in 200-year-old pubs that smell like dirty feet and swamp ass stained to their wooden chairs after 50 years of use.  Like monkeys stuck on an island display at a zoo designed to contain them they can only look across the void at America and wonder why we have it so good, why we have so much money, so many tools at our disposal. But they never get to the answer of why because they are lacking the intellectual tools to step across the barriers which contain them.  If they knew how to swim or were not afraid of the water they could free themselves—but instead they spend their days grooming each other and beating on their chests in memory of their primitive ancestors and call those who have left them behind—cultists driven by “selfishness.”  I would love to help those people, but not by coming to Europe to copy off them, to play their stupid soccer matches where the game resembles socialism with their ridiculous off-sides rules—where a forward cannot be behind a defense—give me a break!  That makes for a boring game and a boring economy, and Europe has both.  Atlas Shrugged, an American story, is about productivity, individualism, innovation, and the corruption of the masses and their need for leadership.  John Galt is certainly not the next European fascists.  He is beyond that kind of thinking—he is all about total independence where individuals are not compelled into imprisonment by the weakest links of society—because those weak links chose to be stupid, perilous, or otherwise reckless with their lives—then expect others to shield them from reality through collectivism.  Atlas Shrugged philosophically is a divorce from Europe, and obviously in such divorces there are hard feelings and one side will always try to make the other look bad.  But in the end, Atlas Shrugged is a change in thinking that the spouse left behind resents and in this case it is Europe and all its faulty past.  Robert Nielsen might feel the chill of abandonment and call after their former lover with disdain and envy, but the merit is rooted in jealousy.  The proclamation that some people, some economies, and some ideals are better than others, and that people who love Atlas Shrugged are willing to go off and do their own thing is a reality that the European and the Americans who love the dank culture of that haze covered land is simply too much to comprehend.

Atlas Shrugged is about a new way of thinking where the roots of productivity are not explored through mystical hocus pocus balancing limited resources against equal distribution to the world.  It is about what makes resources in the first place so that new things can come to be which ultimately benefit everyone.  The question must first be asked, who is responsible for productivity—is it the democratic masses or the few who possess leadership and ability?  My trip to Disney World is confirmation that Atlas Shrugged is the only artistic work to properly identify the answer.  At the end of that day, a majority of the people in the argument of what to do were still there.  They had simply sat down at a few tables and ate food most of the day stuck in inaction driven by their indecisiveness.  Me and my group, we rode Pirates of the Carribean—5 times, road the Thunder Mountain Railroad, did the Swiss Family Robison Tree House, saw a number of shows including the Presidents Showcase, ran all over Tom Sawyer Island, did everything in Fantasy Land, shopped, road Space Mountain—3 times and still had time to do more.  The rest of the group had not even left Tomorrow Land except to get a place on Main Street to watch the fireworks.  That is what has happened to Europe and every single Keynesian economist and every political socialist.  They are still stuck in the politics of Europe and are chained to its dismal fate where America has moved on.  The philosophy of that “moving on” is chronicled in Atlas Shrugged and is only growing as more and more of those monkeys on the zoo island learn to swim and discover a big bright world outside of their intellectual confinement.

Bill Gates Warning About the Future: Inventions that will make Excel look primitive

Bill Gates is a creation of American capitalism and could only have become the richest man in the world in America.  Unlike people like George Soros or Warren Buffet who are also billionaires, Gates became wealthy because of his creation of a superior product.  To this very day I still consider Microsoft Excel to be the most important, and powerful invention of the 20th Century.  The Microsoft Office bundle has literally changed the world and revolutionized business.  I can send a Microsoft PowerPoint to literally any company in the world, and they can open it and view the information effortlessly through a simple email, and that is a real miracle.  20 years ago for a business meeting I would have had to carry a brief case with me everywhere I went, but now I can download all my documents for a presentation on a “stick” and open them on another company’s computer using Excel to show complicated financial formulas and forecasts that would have taken mountains of paper to do in the past.  The cell design of Microsoft Excel is just brilliant.  It is a real technical evolution for the human species, and is why Bill Gates is often the world’s richest man.  I don’t agree with his views on Common Core education which he shares with another person I admire, George Lucas.  I think in that category both men are out of touch to believe that any government is qualified to be in charge of a child’s education.  But I would attribute their world view to a naiveté bred from their wealth and a remoteness created from their financial security and success in business.  They believe that they can apply the same success they had in their business to government sponsored education which has proven incorrect, but I won’t fault them for those moments of faulty thinking, because they are right in their specific fields much more often.  And to that assertion, Gates recently warned world governments of an impending crisis that they must get out ahead of, particularly in The United States.  A serious shortage of traditional jobs is coming to every country in the world, and the need to reduce taxes, avoid any increases in the minimum wage, and to find ways to inspire entrepreneurs to create jobs that have not yet been invented is becoming the most important thing anybody can hope to do.

As I mentioned just a few days ago with the future predictions of Ray Kurzweil artificial intelligence will change the world.  It is likely that as much as Microsoft Office has changed the way companies have done business, and Excel has had a major impact in the world of finance and management, the technical leaps that will be witnessed in just the next decade will be monumental.  Bill Gates is well aware of this upcoming trend because he is one of the shapers of the developing technologies and can see clearly what is happening.  Now he is warning the world of the growing crises of “software substitution” that is about to hit virtually every economic market.

Microsoft Excel already does for one individual what a room full of accountants used to perform prior to the computer revolution.  All those highly paid jobs have been eliminated and given to people who have not dedicated their life to finance and now perform the same tasks as a mere afterthought—people like me.  I’ve always been a creative person, and an in-the-trenches worker, but now it’s not uncommon for me to do complicated spreadsheets in a movie theater before a film begins without much additional effort, because Excel does most of the heavy lifting.  This tendency of software substitution will become greater, resulting in millions upon millions of lost jobs over the coming decades.  Gates is warning now so that governments can prepare, but most of course will not listen.

Obama’s recent insult of an executive order for salary workers is the most obvious current failure of governments to understand just how behind the curve they are.  Obama’s social beliefs were formulated by communists from the 1930s to the 1960s and are why he believes that the profits of the business owner should be shared by the “workers,” which is 100% false.  A joke in our family while traveling through remote areas when we hear a song on the radio that is twenty years old is for me to declare that the song just came out in that location.  I do this a lot in Louisville, Kentucky where we visit often.  My reference is a comment on the backwoods foundations that are built around the city far away from culture centers like Los Angeles, New York and London.   Obama’s thoughts are comparable to a song from 1890 just hitting Louisville and them thinking its revolutionary, that’s how far behind the curve, Obama is on what’s happening in the world.  But Gates is the one who is writing the songs that aren’t even out yet, and will soon flood the world with their popularity once discovered.

It is only a few years away that drivers for over-the-road trucks will no longer be needed.  The trucks will drive themselves.  Nurses who monitor patients will be replaced by medical bots, and fast food restaurants will become dramatically automated.  Human workers are simply too unreliable, they don’t show up for work enough, and cost too much once there.  Insurance companies, financial centers, and most cubical based endeavors will go away.  There isn’t enough work to keep workers busy now for 8 hours a day—as Facebook login hours are proving, and as technology increases, this will become much worse.  Even manufacturing will change dramatically as 3D printers will increasingly do the task of manual labor for component parts.  Gone will be the days where a worker sat in front of a punch press, a sewing machine, or an injection molding unit running production for 8 hours a day 5 days a week.  The jobs in the future will be in material acquisition, and inspection, but not in the actual manufacture.  Technical assembly will still be a human trait, but every job not requiring human reason which is adaptable by circumstance will be challenged by technology.

It is not that far off that building construction will be done by robots because hiring human workers will be risky and unreliable.  It costs too much to hire a human worker with the threat of FMLA benefits, workman’s compensation cases, and the unreliability of momentary lapses in judgment.  Software reliability will prove much more attractive to future manufacturing.  Governments will strive to suppress technical innovation to protect their taxation structure, but it’s too late for them.  A company that wants to make interior car parts for Toyota, Honda, or even Ford will likely move their shop to some African country to avoid the high taxes of developed countries and use 3D printers to make many of their component parts hiring a skeleton crew to perform actual assembly.  As McDonald’s workers protest for unionization and a higher minimum wage the same robots working in the medical industry will prepare the food, drop the French Fries and work the drive thru.  Humans will load the machines with new food, they’ll do most of the money transactions since intuition will still be required between human customers, and they’ll supervise the sandwich making exercises.  But the actual sandwich making will be done by robotic hands.  (Do you have any idea dear reader how much money is lost putting too much lettuce on Big Macs can cost McDonald’s per year?  Too much!  Human error destroys millions of dollars in profit potential.)

Big government people and unionized workers will declare that all this technology is bad for the worker, it’s bad for the human condition, and it is bad for the economy.  These same people think that the sun comes up every morning to shine on their faces during their brief visit on earth and are out-of-touch with reality.  They are way behind the times that are coming and ill prepared to deal with the realities Bill Gates is warning about.  Education will change drastically!  Personal pleasure and recreation will change dramatically!  Manufacture and product delivery will change dramatically!  Service of all kinds will leap into another dimension in just 10 years to something not even recognizable to today’s standards—so the warning as been given—and we’ll see who listens.

The world will not stop evolving just because human beings have not adopted their religions, their politics, and their moral compass to the tools of invention created for the use of advancing society from a perilous past.  Every time I open an Excel Spreadsheet I feel privileged to live in such a time that I can use such a thing.  What is even better is when I can open a spreadsheet with costs, delivery and material items on my iPad removed from a jacket pocket while waiting for food to arrive while dinning out.  Apple Products are not typically compatible with Bill Gate’s Microsoft products but because Microsoft’s Office programs are so heavily used throughout the world, Apple has apps that can interpret them on their platforms.  And in just a few years these Excel inventions by Microsoft will seem clunky and barbaric compared to what’s coming.  Gates is right; most people are not prepared for those changes.  Governments if they were smart would completely reorganize their financial structures to deal with these coming changes and not try to hold the world to outdated and archaic social models where people are chained to programs like Social Security and Medicare.  Technology will create nanobots that will allow people to live for centuries instead of decades.  Cancer will be cured with a computer program that solves the problem in the human DNA itself—who will retire at 65 or even 85 when they can continue working for 100 or 200 years?  Why pay for Medicare when people can just become healthy like they were when they were young?  Why pay for a UPS driver when the truck can drive on its own and a delivery bot can drop the package off on a doorstep?  Why pay a tractor-trailer driver when it can be driven by GPS and a computer program that will even back the truck up to the dock of a destination?  A human driver can only drive so many hours by regulation where an automated driver can continue forever without pause but to refuel.  The world is changing–quickly, and Bill Gates is warning everyone as to the specifics of that change.  Big government types at this point are way, way…………….way behind and at the rate of technical computation that is now multiplying by the day, they will soon resemble primitive natives throwing spears at airplanes flying 30,000 feet overhead.  The choice to be a primitive is one that resists the inevitable and does not heed what Bill Gates is saying—and will be incurred with much peril that is completely avoidable.

The Kroger Marketplace: West Chester Trustees say no

What is expected out of politicians?  Well West Chester, Ohio is becoming the epitome of good government and correct management.  Traditionally, local politicians eat out of the hand of power players, developers, and social-climbing national politicians—but not this time when one of the most financially solid communities in all of Ohio rejected a developer submission for a Kroger Marketplace. 

 “The problem was not Kroger, it was the developer,” Trustee President George Lang said.  Strong words more reminiscent of a fiscal manager than a political pet sent shock waves through the development community where a clear message of quality emanated beyond the business as usual approach many have come to expect over the years.  Lang knows that West Chester is a lucrative spot for any business to locate, and if they wish to, they have expectations to live up to—and if they don’t—they will be turned away.

Late in January, the township zoning commission had recommended approval of a zone change to allow a 133,000-square-foot Kroger Marketplace store, along with a gas station and space for retail, offices and restaurants.  That was expected as zoning commission officials are often corrupted with Agenda 21 type training, and are willing to bend over backwards for any type of development plan that reflects their world view.  Those same zoning officials denied the development last year after neighbors voiced concerns about safety and traffic issues.

 

Developer Silverman and Company Inc., of Blue Ash, resubmitted the plan, scaling back some out lots and adding a five-acre green-space buffer in an effort to appease residents. But without firm promises related to the buffer, commissioners wouldn’t sign on.  This was reported here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom with the following article.  CLICK HERE TO VIEW. 

 “They wouldn’t give us a timetable on the buffer — or even if one would ever be built,” said West Chester Trustee George Lang. “The property will eventually develop. It may even be a Kroger Marketplace, but this was not the right plan.”

http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/local/west-chester/2014/03/11/west-chester-trustees-nix-groger-marketplace/6308705/

 

Lang called the bluff on the developer who did exactly what always happens, they found major resistance to their development plans by local residents–the developer marked up their drawings to show a “compromise” then re-submitted expecting weak-kneed politicians to yield ultimately dejecting the protesters.  In this case a buffer zone was needed between the residents and the development and the developer ignored those needs.  Most trustees would salivate all over themselves to have a shot at a development like what the Kroger Marketplace would bring to West Chester and could pat themselves on the back for years at luring such a thing during their tenures.  But what often gets left out of these types of discussions is a sense of quality that becomes part of the neighborhood instead of an imposition upon it.  The West Chester trustees led by Lang are insisting on a standard that is high, but the results will yield a much higher quality community in the long run.  It is to Kroger’s advantage to build a marketplace in West Chester—but it is up to the management of the area to make sure that when it is built, it is something the community can be proud of for decades instead of being outdated and useless 15 years from now.

 

Developers are often good people who bring a lot of good things to the table.  Without them, nothing would happen.  But often, because they are more interested in passing their projects through a maze of regulations, financial pitfalls, and political haggling, they are short-sighted by their very nature.  They don’t see very far down the road or consider the philosophical impact of their projects—only the economic ones—and at that, only a few years beyond completion.  However, proper management dictates having the long view in mind as well as the short, and in the case of this Kroger Marketplace the developer was only looking at the short–a nice new grocery store with all the bells and whistles, but without a buffer zone to protect real-estate investment 10 years and 20 years down the road, the negative impact of the development would be detrimental to residents. 

 

It is refreshing to see that George Lang and his trustees are doing the job as good if not better than any community in America currently.  West Chester, Ohio is the model of how every community across The United States and world should strive to mimic.  The lifestyle of West Chester is robust, the personal wealth is extraordinary, the access to goods and services, job creation, and proximity to everything is as good as it gets, and Lang knows it.  What is different is that the West Chester Trustees are not willing to compromise that quality to make developers happy for the sake of favors down the road.  And for that, the people of West Chester have a lot to be thankful for.  If Kroger wants to build a Marketplace in West Chester and enjoy the profile of the community which perfectly suits their business plan, they need to listen to the management of the community–the trustees like George Lang.  They will find that if they do, they will profit as well as the residents he is protecting, and West Chester will become that much better.  But the other options are simply not on the table, and that is something to be grateful for.

America in Decline: Why the white guys are angry–a progressive travesty

There is no question that Bill O’Reilly is the best news guy in the business today. However, for my tastes he is way too close to the progressive point of view.  He is too cozy with the kind of people who are wrecking our country so I usually watch him the way I would a disconnected parent from another generation who is out of touch with the reality of our times.  The reason I do is because he is simply the best that there is—which says everything that needs to be determined.  Bill O’Reilly tells the truth without spectacle and fanfare.  So it should be quite shocking to many to watch his Talking Points Memo shown below from a few days ago titled, “America in Decline.” I understand the reason he does what he does with the progressive left, he wants to be a good reporter just after the facts, and he feels he will reach more people if he’s fair and balanced.  Largely he is right, he is a bestselling author, he has excellent ratings on his top rated news program on Fox and his stage shows around the country routinely sell out.  By most people’s definitions Bill O’Reilly is the epitome of American success, so they should listen to what he has to say.  If you have not seen this, please do watch it and send it along to a friend.  If you have, watch it again, and again and again.  It’s all true and then some and every point made must be corrected in American culture within the decade, otherwise, we will not survive.  It is that simple. 

To those who say that Bill and those who think like he does is just a bunch of angry white guys spewing hate, it’s time to can it.  Those are exactly the kind of people who have delivered us to this precipice.  The angry white guys are “angry” because they have been kind, and fair, and open—and progressives have done all of the above to our country—and we don’t like it.  It is kind of like telling a teenage kid not to have a party while we go on vacation, but while gone, the kid does just that, and when we returned, the house is destroyed.  We will be angry!  It only adds insult to the injury when the stupid kid tells us not to be angry!

All the things Bill mentioned have been done either intentionally, or through severe corruption and outright stupidity.  This is where Bill and I are very different; he is willing to give progressives the benefit of the doubt where I think they have been quite purposeful.  Bill being a strict Catholic guy believes in turning the other cheek to those who vilify him—where I do not.  I think it is more appropriate to cut off the cheek of the villain and feed it to them for what they’ve done.  But we both agree that things cannot continue as they have.

America has been attacked in the same manner that it was during the Pearl Harbor invasion, or the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist plot.  It has been threatened in a similar way as the Cuban Missile Crises was designed to invoke and has been quite literal.  The trouble is that most Americans did not define what was happening as an attack because guns and hostilities were not openly declared in the traditional sense—so much of what took America to the place it currently is, went unchallenged.

Now we are part of a country that has had its wealth redistributed to unproductive corners of the world, where fairness has been used as a club to crush enterprise, and stylish feelings have overtaken logic.  Probably the biggest sign of the foul play which is amiss is the concluding statements in Bill’s Talking Points, where Lois Lerner testified before Congress yet again and took the Fifth multiple times so not to implicate herself.  Lerner being a high-ranking member of the IRS has refused to answer questions as to Washington’s involvement in the IRS scandal that is at this point much, much, larger than Watergate ever was—and nobody in the media, or the Beltway culture have the courage to face down the obvious evil which is taking place.  If the IRS will do what they have done to conservative groups, they’ll do it to anyone who stands in their way in the future no matter what the political affiliation.  The Lerner corruption at the IRS is testimony in its own way and confirmation that everything so-called radicals like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and many others have been saying is 100% true.   It is true until people like Lerner proves otherwise.  They can’t have it both ways, use American laws of innocent before proven guilty, and then use the cover of bureaucracy to commit crimes against America.  That is nothing short of terrorism and the evidence has proven that Lerner is guilty of it.

But what’s worse than what Lerner has done with the IRS, or the major newspapers who refused to cover the story out of ideological commitment to the kind of change they are trying to impose on the rest of us—is that we’ve let them do it.  We’ve been kind, accommodating, and docile allowing them to take the “Fifth” when we know they are hiding something, or lying to us over Benghazi, or the reasoning that energy prices are so high, or taxes are going up, or our health care system has been tampered with, or our jobs are shoved overseas so to “redistribute” them to the gutters of Italy to balance things out with the European Union which has mismanaged itself to the brink of oblivion.  We’ve been nice, and we have been taken advantage of.

O’Reilly isn’t inflating the situation in his broadcast on Fox. He’s point for point being excessively factual. The situation is every bit as bad has he stated and if corrections are not made, we are done as a nation—and it will have been on purpose by the enemies of the nation working within our system of government.   We have been compromised, and we have a right to be angry about it.  Very angry!

Socialists are Lazy: Meet the new German Progressive Alliance

It has become obvious that most Americans do not understand the politics of the rest of planet earth.  They believe that countries like Germany, England, Australia and Brazil are functioning on an economically equal playing field as America.  But this would be a false assumption.  The situation in the Ukraine where those people wish to break away from the so-called conservative statism of Russia and join the European Union displays the confusion epically.  Ukraine is essentially seeking to leave a country run on one hand by the old hard-line communists who are currently in the minority in Russia and the United Russia party of Putin who is a former KGB agent from the days of the U.S.S.R.  Many members of the European Union are openly socialist and are members of Socialist International, which has been covered here extensively.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW, (check out the map there.)  Many of the countries being governed by Socialist International, which is essentially the entire European Union resent American freedom and the wealth generated under capitalism and they feel entitled by their corrupt Kantian philosophy to steal that wealth so that all people everywhere are equal.  In short, socialists and their supporters are by their very nature on average, lazy and seek use the argument of equality to justify stealing from the productive and calling the process “fairness.” This argument was presented to the world during the 20th Century and every nation but America accepted it—as seen in the animated short below.  Because America said no to socialism and communism, is why The United States is a wealthy nation. 

 

Out of the European Union Germany is currently one of the strongest countries economically, but they are hardly bastions of capitalism.  They have had a very strong presence in Socialist International but in that country a new socialist movement began starting in May of 2013 which considers itself a rival group–a group called the Progressive Alliance.  This group intends to take the hard name of socialism away from debate so that members around the world are not so turned off by the old connections to communism.  The Progressive Alliance is a global organization intent to spread socialism to every world government.  They are not supporters of capitalism—in fact they are not even close to supporting such a thing.  But if a careful analysis to their internal works were examined what they all have in common is that the members are essentially lazy people who look to the ambitious to carry them through life—just as the European Union, the United Nations, NATO and even the International Space station look toward American ingenuity, American money, American productivity to carry them from one day to the next.  If America were removed from their alliances, they would perish quickly as their members are unproductive and looking to be carried through life on the backs of those willing to support them.  So far, America has done so without complaint. 

 

The Progressive Alliance is a political international founded on 22 May 2013 by political parties, the majority of whom are current or former members of the Socialist International. The organisation states the aim of becoming the global network of “the progressive“, democratic, social-democratic, socialist and labour movement”.[1][2]

The first step towards the movement’s creation was the cancellation of the £100,000 yearly membership fee payment by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) to the Socialist International in January 2012 by SPD Chairman Sigmar Gabriel. Gabriel had been critical of the Socialist International’s admittance and continuing inclusion of undemocratic “despotic” political movements into the organisation.[3][4]

At the initial Conference of the Progressive Alliance was held in Rome, Italy on 14–15 December 2012 with 42 political parties attending.[5][6] Attending the founding meeting was Democratic Party of Italy leader Pier Luigi Bersani, French Socialist Party chairman Harlem Désir, Argentinean Socialist Party chairman Hermes Binner, Governor of Vermont Peter Shumlin of the US Democratic Party, and Mustapha Ben Jafar, secretary-general of the Tunisian Democratic Forum for Labour and Liberties.[7] Also present were representatives of the Indian National Congress, Brazilian Workers Party and Greek PASOK.[8][9] The Dutch Labour Party also supports the formation of the organisation,[10] as does the Swiss Socialist Party[11] and the Social Democratic Party of Austria.[12]

During the 4–5 February 2013 spring Council of the Socialist International in Cascais, Portugal, 50 political parties discussed on the sidelines the formation of the Progressive Alliance, including the Movement for Democratic Change of Zimbabwe.[13]

The official foundation of the organization was held on the 22 May 2013 in Leipzig, Germany, on the 150th anniversary of the formation of the General German Workers’ Association (ADAV), the predecessor of the modern-day SPD.[14][15][16][17][18] It was reported that approximately 70 social-democratic political parties from across the world attended the event.[19][20][21][22] The Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats European parliamentary group joined the organization upon its official foundation.[23] In September 2013, the Democratic Party (DIKO) of Cyprus announced that they were negotiating to join the Progressive Alliance, and were scheduled to attend a seminar of the international in Stockholm on 24 October.[24]

If the land mass of Europe all the way to the east across Russia, China spinning around through the South China sea to Australia is considered, there is a vast swath of population that is in open support of either socialism or communism and they are all looking toward the wealth of The United States and want it redistributed to them.  What they really want is the theft of the productive in America to their lazy, hands.  In the case of the East, they are not lazy, but they lack imagination and ingenuity, and need American thought to carry them through their technical innovations.  China can build an iPhone, but they cannot “conceive” of an iPhone from scratch.  Only a free people, functioning under a capitalist country can do such a thing. This leaves a massive section of the world under the lazy influence of socialism, statism, or open communism.  South America and Canada are not much better.  Most countries in South America are left-leaning socialists and Canada is under the influence of European socialism.  Only America and Japan economically stand on the side of productivity. 

 

So why do any of the people function under Socialist International, or the Progressive Alliance have an equal seat at the table with America if they are not equally productive?  The answer is that they shouldn’t, because they are essentially lazy next to the productive and are not equal by any measure.  And that is a hard truth that the socialists of the world do not wish to consider because it forces a hard truth about themselves which they are not willing to consider. And the truth hurts.  There are some of these progressive groups in America, groups like Progress Ohio and the Texas Progressive Alliance, (CLICK THE LINK BELOW), who seek to destroy capitalism to fulfill the intentions of global socialists.  They are the cause of the current ideological civil war currently underway in America as they have captured the sympathies of the media and are in virtually every public school and labor union.  It is the lazy against the productive and the productive are in the minority—extremely.  And they still carry the economies of the world on their back in spite of the ingratitude of the socialist and progressive groups—which is testimony which confirms the truth in all its glory.

Why Hollywood, and Karl Marx, are Idiots: The wonders of American excess

I watched the Academy Awards for all of 10 minutes.  When the first award went to Dallas Buyers Club for a supporting actor role in a film that featured HIV issues and a cross dresser, I turned it off and went back to my books.  The Academy had snubbed the films I liked in 2013, particularly the Man of Steel and the Wolf of Wall Street, so I lost interest in less than a nanosecond once the progressive leanings of the Academy were on full display.  The good girl actress Amy Adams took off her top for American Hustle, and received a nomination for it of course—and another slave film won best picture—of course.  Progressive politics were on full display, so I didn’t waste my time. 

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oscar-winners-2014-full-list-results-86th-academy-awards-kodak-theater-684748

The Wolf of Wall Street didn’t win any awards which was not so odd.  The movie was laced with controversy because many critics felt the film highlighted the benefits of financial excess and was sending the wrong message to the public—and that bothered me.  As it has being pointed out, and elaborated in many different ways, progressives are part of the original communist push.  They simply disguised their dialogue when American resistance toward communism became known—so they repackaged the collectivism of communism behind the name progressivism.  Any progressive working in Hollywood—which is most people, are advocating communism—essentially.  They are part of a vast Communist Party USA strategy to undermine American lifestyles in support of communist expansion.  Pulling Americans focus on Civil Rights issues—which are important—but not the only thing to be concerned about, communists can advance their strategy of collectivism without resistance.  That is why films like Dallas Buyers Club won over films like the Wolf of Wall Street.  One film advocated AIDS awareness and cross dressing, the other on the root of money and the validity of excess. 

It is the goal of communists to destroy the American economy so that world-wide socialism of interdependent need can arise.  So long as Americans are independently wealthy, the communist plot will not work—so they attack it at every turn with a mythology of “finite resources.”  Yet in communist countries resources are finite because government controls every aspect of society from food production to the creation of art.  In a communist country resources are only produced within the management capacity of the government bureaucracy.  Yet in America money is “made.”  It is a term that is specific to America and is the biggest opposition to communist expansion that is currently holding back the platform of progressivism from entering every home in America.  Americans love-making money, and so long as that trend continues, communism will not advance far enough in American society to change the culture toward open socialism.  So film critics trained by their universities in the ways of progressivism decry “excess” in American lifestyles as a bad thing. 

Yet when one thinks about it, why does America have an excess of anything?  It is because they have made more than they need—because under capitalism, independent people produce outside of the control of the government.  This is how a country arrives at an excess, because market values drive the activity—not a government official who may or may not have the skill to know when, how, and why a sector of their society needs to produce something within an appropriate lead time.  This is why Americans have excess while countries that support socialism and communism do not.  This is the only reason.  In America anybody can be a wealthy person if they are willing to do the work.  In communist countries you have to be an insider to the party to receive wealth—and that is the main problem with progressivism. 

In the Dallas Buyers Club the protagonists had to go to Mexico to find suitable medicine for their HIV sickness.  The reason is that the FDA has restricted such development in America needlessly.  The film focuses primarily on the unfairness of this problem and deals with the lifestyle choices of the main protagonists who just want to live free—which is how they got AIDS in the first place.  Yet it is progressivism that has infected the FDA and caused the medicine to not be produced in The United States leaving the protagonists to get it in an unrestricted financial zone like Mexico.  This plot gives support to George Soros Open Society programs, and I would not be surprised if some of his money did not find its way into the finance of the movie—because it is propaganda constructed exclusively to benefit progressive politics. 

Yet if America openly removed such progressive, communist influence from its government there is no reason why medicine for HIV couldn’t be created along with stem cell research, and cures for cancer which currently exist—but have been fought by the FDA for many years.  America has the ability to create excess in medicine, excess in health, excess in wealth, excess in goodness—excesses in virtually every category—but the restrictions are created by progressivism—with too much government control. 

The Dallas Buyers Club does what Hollywood advocates all the time—it uses one argument to undermine another one which they created in the first place with their micro management government philosophy.  Then they blame the excess of American Wall Street tycoons as the stars of Hollywood wear $10,000 dollar dresses down the red carpet and talk about their artistic endeavors in film to over a billion people when it is the excess of America which created the platform for their work in the first place.  So it is very disenchanting to give a film like the Dallas Buyers Club, which had some nice points, awards over a film like the Wolf of Wall Street.

What progressives speak against is production then complain when there isn’t enough of something to go around—which is a factor seen in every socialist, and communist country.  Resources are always limited because the people of those cultures have been trained to be unproductive.  The excesses of America are a wonderful thing, because it means that America made more of what they needed, leaving more for others to enjoy.  This ideal that wealth should be limited or shared with those who are not contributing to production is an absolutely stupid ideal.  No wonder Karl Marx died in poverty.  He was a God damn idiot—and the world willingly followed after his example to preposterously disastrous results.  Is it any wonder that the world suffers from shortages of water, food, or clothing—or money in general?  America is a culture that “makes money.”  It is because of capitalism that it does this.  It is because of socialism that the characters in Dallas Buyers Club had to go to Mexico to get drugs for their reckless sex practices.  Because the drugs were regulated and managed by a society that uses government to manage things they are not qualified to have anything to do with.  Because of the idiocy of the Hollywood industry in presenting this duality to billions of people who tuned in to watch the Academy Awards—I turned off the show and read a book, which was a much better and far more productive use of my time.

God’s Sometimes Tragic Stage Play: Screaming Bridge and the haunted Millikin Roundabout

BridgeLet me deal with two birds here with one stone, the sad story recently at Lakota where a student was thrown in jail for bringing a gun to school and the really stupid idea of putting a roundabout at the corner of Maud Hughes Road and Millikin.  I explained yesterday my thoughts about the student with the gun and alluded to a school shooting which I had been involved in and promised to tell a story I had from personal experience.  I will do that now, and tie it in to what motorists can expect to witness as they travel through the South East portion of the upcoming roundabout.  Many years ago during my junior year at Lakota a car load of boys came to a stop at that exact spot in a car riddled with bullets.  The driver of that car died of a gunshot wound to the head, and I was on the other end of the tragedy and will explain the why and how in relation to the current situation.  The media turned the issue into a circus, I was considered to be a dangerous gang leader and modern real life version of the West Side Story.  Ballistics experts had conspiracy theories about how such an expert shot could have been made, and a manhunt ensued with a door to door search across the entire region.  And of course there was supernatural assistance which confirms to me the very existence of otherworldly entities which many would call God.  So brace yourself for a hair rising tale and an all too true story of honor, death, and supernatural activity as we jump into the most tragic story known surrounding the hauntings of Screaming Bridge. 

But first I have to talk about roundabouts.  They are very European and a real pain in the ass.  I hate them because they impose too many restrictions on driving.  They are  fine for the saggy assed Europeans and their unshaved arm pits, their bad breath, and their political socialism because those idiots don’t have anywhere they really need to be since most of them get a month of government paid vacation each year.  They are never in a hurry to get anywhere.  Here in America, where we are productive and driving along a stretch of road like Millikin enjoying the countryside at about 50 to 60 mph, we don’t want to slow down to 20 mph to deal with a dumb roundabout where some indecisive soccer mom chick imported from New England is blocking our right of way.  So since the Trustees of Liberty Township want to adopt all these Agenda 21 oriented “development designs” and won’t listen to reason, then they can drive right through the ghostly apparitions of at least one of the ghosts that hang out in and around Screaming Bridge which is just a few yards south of that location.  Out of all the urban legends centering around Screaming Bridge, I know at least one of the tragic stories is true–because I was there.

http://westchesterbuzz.com/2014/02/28/construction-delayed-one-week-on-liberty-twp-roundabout/

It was early January at the current Lakota West Freshman building and three guys were picking on some girls who were sitting near me.  I’ve told stories before of my experience at Lakota.  I had a group of kids who sat with me at lunch who were considered social misfits and were extremely rebellious.  I had a reputation for being extremely daring and one of the lunch time games had been to throw food at the Lakota administrators who stood guard around the parameter of the cafeteria during every lunch period.  I would often wail large chunks of food at them right in front of everyone witnessing.  Most of the time I was very obvious about throwing food at them daring the administrators to do something.  Of course their inaction prompted me to do it more, and more audaciously.  So I had a reputation to manage when these three boys who had a history for being tough guys started picking on a girl sitting next to me.  The boys were very tall for their age and were known to fight often.  One of them picked up the coat of one of the girls and tossed it on the floor so he could sit in that particular seat to impress another girl who was within that group of young ladies.  The girl who had her coat thrown to the ground protested.  One of the boys proceeded to call her very grotesque names.  I looked to the Lakota administrator who I had been tossing mashed potatoes at and he showed no signs of doing anything about it, so I injected myself on behalf of the girl.   I told the kid to pick up the coat.  The boy gave me a smart assed answer as he picked it up and put it back which evolved into a small war between my group and his group for the next week where we had a food fight which escalated over the ensuing weeks.  Of course when food fighting lost its effectiveness we turned to games of strength, where I ended up punching a cafeteria plate shattering it into hundreds of pieces.  The plates were those old hard plastic types which were extremely hard.  When I punched the plate, the center broke away showering my friends and the targets of my aggression with debris.  But the rim of the plate stayed intact and badly cut up my fist requiring plastic surgery to fix.screaming-bridge-5

There wasn’t anywhere to go from there but into an actual fight off-site away from Lakota.  When the boys saw how far I’d take things they got a little scared.  It was their suggestion to fight and none of them wanted to fight me one on one, so they proposed that I fight three of their guys all at the same time at Screaming Bridge on Maud Hughes Road.  I accepted once my hand healed up in about 6 weeks and could again make a fist–because I had on a splint which prevented my hand from closing.

At the end of February 1985 Nightmare on Elm Street was playing at the Showcase Cinemas in Springdale and I made arrangements with the guys I was fighting to finally meet at the Screaming Bridge at 10:30 PM.  Over the weeks leading up to the event, things cooled down between my group and their group.  They were obviously nervous about what to expect out of me.  They knew the stories, but were confident that three of them would be enough to emerge successfully from the fight.   But they had in mind precautions which were leaked to me by one of the boy’s girlfriends who had a crush on me at the time.  She told me that her boyfriend had plans to bring weapons to the fight and were going to set up booby traps on the hillside which was very steep leading from Maud Hughes Road down to the railroad tracks below.  Supposedly ghosts screamed at night from there and satanic rituals routinely were conducted to car stereos blaring Ozzie Osborn music.  She begged me not to go, but of course I had to.  She warned me that they planned to push me down the hill into the booby traps which would be seriously harmful; some of them were jagged toothed bear traps that could take off a leg.  Other traps would include spikes angled to penetrate right through a body falling down the hill killing them.  The traps would be constructed based on a Vietnam War guerilla warfare manual.

I made plans of my own.  My friends all wanted to go to the fight to watch me combat the three guys.  It was the talk of the school for that whole Friday.  The next day on a Saturday it was agreed that we’d all meet Showcase Cinema and watch Nightmare on Elm Street then head to the fight afterwards.  It sounded like a fun night, go see a scary movie, go have a fight at a scary bridge full of haunted folklore, and have a good bit of fun doing it.  My plan was to take care of business then enjoy the evening with some girls that we’d pick up at the movie.  We’d go in two cars, I’d have my entourage in my car and some of my other friends would arrive by pickup truck meeting me at the fight.   On my side there were about ten spectators, five in my car, and five who would come by truck.

Little did I know but the previous weekend I had been visiting another set of young ladies at a nearby neighborhood and a friend of mine in a bizarre act of spontaneity ran next  door to a neighbor’s house and attacked a semi truck that was parked there.  The big truck had a grill guard that my friend stabbed several times with a knife simulating what effect it would have on a human body.  I managed to calm him down after a while.  He was trying to impress the girls we were with, and to a large extent, it worked.  But when we left the girls house, the owner of the truck had been watching through his window and took down my license plate number when he saw my friend who had done the vandalizing get into my car.  Screaming Bridge was only a about a mile and a half from this location and I thought often though-out the evening about the fight that would take place there the following week.

A week later while at the movie, I found some girls to meet up with after the fight, it was a group of five girls, one for each of the occupants of my car.  In the trunk of my car were weapons I had brought just in case things got out of hand at the fight later.  I of course had my bullwhip, but there were various clubs, knives, a medieval ball and chain along with a number of other melee weapons also there.  I was very specific to both groups, the group who would drive with me, and my friends arriving in the truck later, not to bring any guns.  If things went bad, we didn’t want to the temptation to pull any triggers.  The goal was just to hurt the kids, not to kill them.   The goal was to teach them a lesson, and that was all.

After the movie I made arrangements to meet up with the girls after the fight.  They didn’t want to go to Screaming Bridge after watching Nightmare on Elmstreet, so agreed to meet us at a local Perkins around midnight once I took care of business. My friends were pumped up to watch a good fight and I was getting revved up now that the fight was about 30 minutes away.  We headed out to my car ready for war yelling at the top of our lungs the way boys do when they are getting themselves worked up for a difficult task.  But to my surprise, my entire family was waiting in my car for the movie to end and for me to return.  They knew I was going to the movies, and apparently the police were looking for me.   So my parents and siblings came where they knew I’d be.  They had opened the trunk to my car and saw my whip and all the other weapons in there and they wanted to know what was going on.

I tried to explain that the weapons were nothing, but there was a more pressing issue at hand.  The truck driver who had his grill guard vandalized by my friend was demanding at that exact hour to see me and get a formal apology from my dad.  The guy could have reported this incident to the police any time during the previous week, but he chose that exact hour—strangely.    Of course none of the adults knew of the fight I had to be at when 10:30 PM hit.  The timing couldn’t have been worse. It could have, and should have occurred earlier in the day, but for whatever reason, the police and the truck owner wanted to talk to me at exactly that specific time.

I was very upset for reasons my parents had no clue of.  My mom took my friend’s home while my dad drove me and the friend who had done the vandalism to the house of the truck driver to try to convince him not to press charges.  We were driving down Princeton Road and past the intersection of Maud Hughes at exactly 10:26, four minutes from the time that I was supposed to be at the fight.  I could see the truck lights of my friends going up the road at exactly the time I told them to be there.  It was odd again that out of all times of the day, it was right at that exact moment.

We arrived at the truck driver’s house for a meeting arranged by the police.  My friend apologized to the guy, and we spoke for a bit.  The guy was reasonable and understood what it was like to be a young person.  We had a nice talk.  Off in the distance we heard what sounded like fireworks going off.  I was very upset about being late to the fight and was very worried that my reputation would be reflected poorly in missing the event.  As we sat there I was scheming for a way to get away and sneak over to the fight because the disgrace in missing it would be too much come Monday morning.  While my dad and the truck driver finished their discussion my friend and I were standing out in the driveway by the car and we heard sirens ringing all over the countryside.  We anticipated that a major wreck had occurred somewhere to the North, and it sounded serious because there were a lot of police cars.

The rest of my evening was trying to explain to my parents what had been going on with the vandalism issue, and trying to explain the weapons in my trunk.  The next morning I was glum, I had missed the fight which I’d never hear the end of, and I missed meeting the girls I met at the movie theater.  It had been a bad night.  I had to work during that following Sunday, so I left quietly and wondered why there were strange cars parked off the side of the road close to my driveway with government plates.  There were several, and since I lived in the country, this was a very strange sight.

The boys I was supposed to fight had been found in a car at the corner of Maud Hughes and Millikin all shot up.  The driver had been killed with an expert sniper shot that came across the field and struck him in the side of the head passing in front of the other two passengers who were both in the front seat.  And my name was all over the police radio.  I had to work the day shift at the Emperor’s Wok Chinese restaurant on Chester Road that morning for the church crowd and the owner called me into his office where he kept a police radio on.  My name was all over the reports as the prime suspect in the murder of a Lakota student.  The trouble for the police—they were with me at the time of the shooting—so it couldn’t have been me.  God works in mysterious ways.  Suddenly missing the fight and the meeting with the girls was not so important, and a new level of concern moved through me.  My friends who were meeting me at the fight were now missing.  A manhunt ensued.

Their side of the story is well documented by court records, and it was really a tragedy for everyone involved.  My friends had arrived at the fight and found that I was not there.  The boys I was set to fight were already at Screaming Bridge and told my friends that they had killed me, and pushed me down the hill.  This panicked my friends and one of them had brought a rifle, even though I said not to.  He shot at the boys as they got in their car to flee the scene.  My friends chased them down pelting them with gunfire.  My friends thought they were defending me.  They didn’t know that the police had already picked me up for another incident.  They thought I was at the bottom of the hill in a bloody heap at the hellish Screaming Bridge where the mood of the area was not conducive to logic.  The boys I was supposed to fight should have never poured gasoline on that fire, but that was a hard lesson for everyone involved.

As my friends chased down the car of the fleeing antagonists the guy who brought the rifle kept firing riddling the car with gunfire.  As the car turned north on Millikin Road a chance shot flew through the passenger side window and in front of the faces of two of the three boys.  The bullet hit the driver in the exact spot that a professional sniper would have aimed for which led to the rumors of a professional hit which I had supposedly organized.  The reality wasn’t quite so dramatic.  My friends didn’t want to kill the kid; they just wanted to scare him in revenge for being scared themselves.  The police confirmed in court that they found the traps that the girl had told me that they’d have there, and inside the trunk of the car they found lots of malicious weapons that they planned to use on me during the fight.  So the prosecution didn’t have much to go on against my friends, there was intent to harm on both sides, and it was every bit as dangerous of a situation as everyone felt it was.  If I had made it to the fight there is a good chance I would have been the one that caused the loss of life, and more people would have been likely harmed, so the situation came out as well as it could have.

Of course everyone felt bad for the kid who lost his life.  We hated each other, but not that much.  Later in a fight that one of the other kids I was supposed to fight that night found himself in at a Friday Night Lakota football game, he was ganged up on by several other kids and I came to his defense, the same way I had come to the defense of the girl the year earlier.  Sure he blamed me for the death of his friend, but I still helped him when he was in trouble—because it was the right thing to do.  He suffered enough and was never the same after the loss of his friend which of course nobody wanted to see happen.  But a lot of people grew up a whole lot that night, and the community had to come to terms with the kind of violence that can sometimes take place between students who don’t see eye to eye on things.  The Lakota administrators were completely powerless to do anything about the matter, just as they are powerless now.  They can attempt to legislate away temptations of such violence, but what they end up with is watered down brainless drones in the process.  The cost of people’s ambition and will to live are not worth sacrificing just so that tragedies like the one described are avoided.  It is obvious to me the hand of God in whatever form one wishes to apply, was at play, because of the strange coincidences that really defy reasonable logic.  I don’t believe in tampering with such hands.  Fate has to play out the way we carry out our decisions with one another in order to have authentic results.

The recent Lakota student thrown in jail the way he was violated him in many ways.  Likely he was in a similar situation as I often found myself in, and he was either the provoker, or the victim, but he was doing what he was doing to act in accordance with his nature.  Lakota imposed on that process by stepping in to prevent it so to adhere to a value judgment of society which is afraid of such raw emotion, and is going to great lengths to micromanage thought so to prevent such episodes of violence.  They will even go to the extreme of numbing people’s minds so that everyone stays compliant.  They don’t care if they ruin people’s thoughts so long as they don’t kill each other on Saturday nights.  The value to the institution is the life of everyone even if the result of that life is a numbed down version of their full potential.  The big difference with me is that I never allowed myself to become compliant, or brain-dead.  I have never sought destroying my mind with intoxicants, so my approach to these kinds of problems are often raw.  The result was that I met these boys in the Lakota cafeteria with the full potential of my nature and I had a lot of people willing to follow me into the bowls of Hell—as I still do—because of it.  This ability can be used for good or evil.  I use it for good as I define good, and that definition does not come from institutional parameters, but from my own life understanding forged by such experiences.

A Lakota student died that night meeting me for a fight that brewed for most of the 1985 winter.  I don’t mean anything against his name when I say that there wasn’t anything about that night that I’d take back.  A lot of people suffered, it was tragic, but it was authentic and part of a bunch of intersecting lives fighting for their definition of good.  For me, defending good was in honoring the right of the girl in the cafeteria not to have her coat thrown on the ground.  Was that worth the death of a young boy, or the voluminous amounts of money spent in legal fees—in my world it was.  Because right is right, and it is through conflict that we discover merit when the tapestries of society seem inclined to hide it from us.  Because of that night and the obvious work from God’s hand in protecting me just enough to let me see the events play out, a tremendous wisdom was given to me which I use to this very day.  I was intimately close to the situation without being pulled so far in that I would be lost to legal nightmares forever.  I have taken the lessons of that night and done countless good with the lessons.  I consider the situation very valuable.  I could have done like everyone else and said nothing when the boys bullied the young girl.  If I had nobody likely would have died, my hand wouldn’t have been reconstructed by plastic surgery, my friends wouldn’t have been tarnished for life, the lives of the people I was set to fight wouldn’t have been haunted for the rest of their lives and the terrible pain their families have felt all along in the loss could have been avoided.  At that time I had just been elected Vice President of the Dan Beard Council because of my work in the Boy Scouts of America’s Explore Post activities for all of Cincinnati.  Once my name was associated with the death of a Lakota student, they banned me from further activity which was a terrible cost to me, because I enjoyed that activity.  But it was still worth telling the kid to pick up the girl’s jacket and respect her—because he did forever after—at least for the next couple of months.  But others had been watching, and knew that disrespecting young ladies, at least while I was around, was not acceptable and I would not put up with it.

Lakota administrators weren’t there protecting the rights of the girl.  They were too cowardly to keep me from throwing mashed potatoes at them staining their suits with my lunch on a daily basis.  They weren’t then, and are even less now in any kind of position to take a moral stand on anything because the goal of all such activity at places like Lakota are to save lives—not to help create value for those lives.  The government institution believes that lives are valuable until of course we are talking about abortion, or the molestation of children, or the sex trade, then they are powerless to offer an opinion because all they care about is that they can manipulate public support for their endeavors, and they can only do that so long as they pack up their mindless students onto a bus and ship them back to their parents at the end of the day brain drained and ill prepared for the future.  But at least those kids are alive—by the technical definition.  Their heart is pushing blood through their bodies.  They do not value life as I do focusing on brain activity being more important than the blood that pours through it.  I see every day the corpses of a thousand souls standing in line at the grocery, or showing their friends the latest rare stone quarried out of the blood mines of Africa.  Sure their bodies live, but their minds are dead and places like Lakota kill them.  Sure they will damn my name for playing a part in the death of a Lakota student, and that event will always trail behind me like many other stories have over time, but I can promise that I have seen lives benefit greatly from their own authenticity, something that I have always pushed to experience.  Sometimes you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, or on what’s right such as in the case of the guy who had the semi truck damaged by my friend showing off for some girls.  But when I spoke to the guy, he wanted what was right, and when he met me face to face and saw my sincerity, he found we had more in common than not.

The fight at Screaming Bridge in Liberty Township, Ohio at the end of February in 1985 was about two groups of people fighting for their interpretation of what’s right and wrong.  The school did not offer the answers to the manhood questions we were asking.  So we had to find those answers ourselves.  I chose the path of being a daring rebel against authority.  The boys I was fighting chose to be a bully, and my friends wanted to experience fearlessness through my actions, so they tagged along closely, and sometimes did things I would never think to do, like vandalize a truck not so much to impress a bunch of girls, but me—to show me how bold they were.  The gunshots where probably done for the same reason once primordial motives are ascertained beyond conventional explanation.

The reason we picked Screaming Bridge as the place to fight was because it was thought to be haunted and where else would such a confrontation take place.  Young boys want to know that they can go into the mouth of our darkest fears and face the demons there.  So while we were fighting each other, we were testing ourselves at the same time, which was the real cause of the fight.  I had fought more than one person at the same time on several occasions, but I wanted to do it against guys that were bigger than I was, probably meaner, and I wanted to do it at a place known for demonic practice where even the demons of Hell would be fighting against me.  With all those emotions present and the added fear of the place in general, it proved to be too much for the people who came to watch me fight that night without me there to calm their minds with action.  But all said, if the hand of God had not interfered so obviously, the death toll would have been far greater, and the impact to the community, much more devastating.  God doesn’t come down out of the clouds to sit on our shoulder providing a defined entity that we can often see and touch.  But I will never forget the timing of driving by Maud Hughes Road and seeing the tail lights of my friends going to the fight toward a destiny that would turn out to be tragic, while in the company of the police who wanted my head nailed to a platter for an entirely different reason, and would otherwise want to throw me in jail in seconds once the shooting took place.  It is in such murky stories like this entry into Screaming Bridge and the folklore of Liberty Township that it is obvious to me that God defends the good even when the ways are not easily defined by the misery present by destruction and mayhem.

When the stupid roundabout is built on Millikin Road cars traveling through the South East portion of that circle will pass through the spot where the bullet riddled car came to a stop.  It is the resting place of the guy I was supposed to fight that night which ended straying off the road by a freakish bullet strike.  For years I have driven past that intersection and wondered if his ghost was there mixing with the other area hauntings.  One would hope that such spirits could move on and not be stuck in a tyrannical limbo, but you never know, especially under the circumstances.     I always knew that the car had stopped off the side of the road and not in the path of Millikin Road traffic.  Now, with the new roundabout, the road will carry vehicles right through the resting place of that terrible incident.  Since history is often forgotten by the next generation and politicians who have no problems building homes on top of tombstones and old Indian graves—and in Liberty Township, this has happened a lot—the mysteries of ghostly apparitions and minor hauntings are something to be concerned about.  Now, because of the new roundabout, we won’t be able to speed through that intersection any longer, but will have to slow down and pass right through the spot where the occurrence transpired.  So it will surely add one more layer to the deep mysteries and sometimes haunted past of Liberty Township, Ohio, and the occasional terrible things that happen even when the intentions are good and we all find ourselves actors on a stage play of God’s drama.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

For more on this, please do read this very good article in American Thinker from way back in 2009.

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

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

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

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

All best,

Sustaining Ukraine’s Breakthrough

By George Soros

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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