The Pole Dancing Reporters: Prostituting themselves to the Empire of Public Education

It is truly funny, yet pathetic at the same time to see reporters like the one in the article link below prostitute himself to the local school systems around Cincinnati.  That particular reporter is the education correspondent for the fledgling Cincinnati Enquirer and over the years has made a living building up the levy fighting antics of school reformers in various districts through his articles, then attempting to tear them down in defense of public education where he has served as a lap-dog for many years.  Few people could blame him for prostituting himself in such a way as most perform similar concessions against their personal beliefs in exchange for a paycheck.  A prostitute after all is not always a being who performs sex acts for money; they can be merely one who uses a skill or ability in a way that is considered unworthy, usually for financial gain.  Last year when that same reporter came after me directly in a hit piece he did for The Enquirer, CLICK FOR REVIEW, he thought it would be cute to use an article where he took pictures of me for a piece he did two years prior in an entirely different context, and apply them to a very salacious article he did as a favor to the Lakota School System.  His intentions were quite obvious.  He went for my jugular, and was betting that I’d never recover.

People of little personal value are always asking for more money because they seek riches to prop up their failed personal essence, which is how they become prostitutes to their careers.  When they enter into financial debates involving children they are not qualified to speak because the money they seek is not for the children but a meager attempt to bring value to their lives, whether it be in passing a school levy, building a new school, or hiring a new round of employees.  The people involved in tax increases are almost always trying to fill a personal void in their lives with other people’s money, which makes them prostitutes to the education system.  In this way, reporters behave like prostitutes because they put objective reporting on the shelf and simply offer themselves up as patsies dancing to the education industry–attempting to preserve a failed system with kind words and propaganda.  Check it out for yourself and be sure to watch the video:

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130315/NEWS0102/303150035&Ref=AR?nclick_check=1

Before my relationship with that reporter I had been warned about him from other school reformers like Mark Sennett who was spokesman for No Lakota Levy before I entered into the picture, Arnie Engle in Fairfield and former school board member, Sharon Poe in Mason, Jennifer Miller who was also a school board member, and many, many others.  They had all been screwed over by the antics of that reporter many times in the past and were concerned that I was too close.  I assured them that I had a plan and that when the reporter came to collect, I would change the game in a way that he wasn’t prepared to deal with.

I always felt sorry for reporters who work for newspapers that have taken such a noticeable progressive stance, so for a time I genuinely liked them—even though I knew they were prostituting themselves.  I thought of them similar to the way I might think of a stripper someplace working the poles in a swank gentlemen’s club trying to put herself through college off the tips she gets teasing men with lap dances.  You respect the effort since she’s trying to make money, but you know that she will never be able to live down her actions once she has a family of her own, so you feel bad for her.  Reporters writing for a paper where the school levy supporters only read the box scores to see if their child made the news are in a similar situation.  The overzealous parent often cuts out such box scores and articles so they can build up a notebook portfolio in hopes of proving to college recruiters that their athletic children are worthy of a scholarship, which ends up saving the parent many thousands of dollars.  Those same parents don’t care about education articles so they don’t read them.  The only people who actually read the newspaper are the type of people who typically voted in favor of my positions—people who are 50 and over—mature–and have kids who have grown up and moved out of the house.

Newspapers today make huge mistakes not understanding their demographic base.  When Lakota laid down the gauntlet with reporters as they did through their highly paid public relations staff—where tax money well into the six figures were allocated in attempts to overcome my levy fighting antics, reporters had to make a decision as all prostitutes do when they find themselves stuck between two customers.  They had to choose between me, who only gave them small tips, or the school who basically paid their salary—but expected favors in return.

Readers of The Enquirer wanted to see a fight—one that I was providing to the benefit of The Enquirer.  So the articles against me isolated their audience and the result has been terrible for The Enquirer.  Just last week The Enquirer was forced to cut 1/3 of their workforce—not just because of the situation with myself, but because hundreds of bad decisions added up to a failed business model.  Too many ads in the paper that nobody read, and nobody read because The Enquirer decided to do progressive articles in a conservative town, and it has cost them dearly.  They were so arrogant that they ignored the desires of their subscribers who actually read their articles and instead catered to the idiots who pass school levies and cut the paper up in search of sports stats on their children.

My levy fighting network is larger than ever, so losing contact with The Enquirer has not hurt me at all.  Instead it has freed me in many wonderful ways.  Unfortunately betrayal is usually the result when dealing with those who prostitute themselves to a cause like reporters do in public education.  But that doesn’t prevent me from feeling sorry for reporters whose small byline at the end of their articles look like a prostitute advertising themselves on Craigslist.

I watch out for the interests of families, students and residents in Butler and Warren county schools. Find me at: (This is from the linked article, and is real)

That speaks for itself; there is no shortage of people willing to use the efforts of prostitutes in any form.  That leaves one only to laugh at the attempts since the other emotions are cast against a backdrop of shame.  The sadness comes from the desire for real reporting, and a career that means something, instead of being whatever the customer wants when they want it.  That is what reporters in newspapers are for public education, and the problem is epidemic.  But that is also why newspapers are failing everywhere, and cutting their costs, because they have sided with the wrong portion of the public.  They have allowed themselves to be used and abused and dumped on the side of the road with a few bucks in their pocket and the promise of returned business.  But in the end, they have nothing but shameful deals, and scandalous practices to carry them from one moment to the next in a decline that points to the end of an era where new media will overtake the consolidated antics of reporters who are prostitutes to a system that is corrupt, and collapsing under the weight of sheer cynicism.

The Cheating Obama Voter: Three Cincinnati residents caught tipping the election

Within a short time reporting she would plead guilty to a voter fraud charge, Sister Marguerite Kloos resigned as Dean of the Division of Arts and Humanities at the College of Mount Saint Joseph. Melowese Richardson, also admitted to Channel 9 WCPO in Cincinnati that she voted twice and submitted absentee ballots for several other people as well. If convicted, the prosecutor says she faces up to 12 years in prison.  And Russell Glassop is charged with voting on behalf of his deceased wife.  Sister Marguerite Kloos, faces up to 18 months in jail if convicted. She is accused of voting on behalf of another nun who had already died. She was indicted based on information from the prosecutor. Her attorney contacted the prosecutor and said she intends to plead guilty, so a grand jury indictment wasn’t necessary.  What all these Hamilton County citizens have in common is that they all voted illegally on behalf of Barack Obama in the 2012 election and point to an alarming tendency—the militant behavior of their kind, and a complete disregard for the rules in favor of idealistic desire.

As of noon on the Friday after the 2012 election, with nearly all votes in, Obama won the popular vote, leading Mitt Romney by a count of 61,173,739 or 50.5% to 58,167,260 or 48.0%.  Approximately 3 million more people voted for Obama than Mitt Romney which might sound like a lot, but if considered how much election fraud was rumored to take place, and how difficult it was to gather indictments on the three people in just Hamilton County, Ohio seen above it is possible that there was so much election fraud in the election of 2012 that the election could have swung 4 to 5 million votes from Barack Obama to Gary Johnston or Mitt Romney.  It is unlikely even with a vigorous investigation that voter fraud would be discovered in any way with the Gary Johnston camp, or Mitt Romney supporters as the actions appear to derive from the type of activism specific to the Obama ground game—where rules and the truth are only interpretations to be glazed over by legalized maneuvers and strong-arm labor union tactics.

As media outlets praised the re-election of Barack Obama making the entire presidential race a value of civil rights agenda items, and not showing any interest in economic policy with a reckless disregard for reality, Obama supporters showed in the election of 2012 that they didn’t care how they won, so long as they won.  They didn’t care if they had to cheat, stuff ballots, destroy ballots, intimidate voters, suppress voters, or obtain votes in any manner possible to put their candidate over the top in an election.  The three voters caught in Cincinnati appear to be only the tip of a gigantic mountain that is so large that nobody is willing to step back far enough to view the entirety for fear of what they might discover.  The militant manner which voters for Barack Obama were willing to break the law and disregard reason in favor of a sitting President should be deeply alarming—and if absent from the election process, might have been an entirely different election.  But we will never know, as it is obvious from the multiple precincts in large municipalities where Mitt Romney didn’t get a single vote—which is statistically, nearly impossible, that nobody cares.

The Election of 2012 was like playing a board game like Candyland or Monopoly with another player who refuses to play by the rules of the game.  If the dice say move 4 spaces, they move 8.  If the board says to go around the board in a regulated pattern, the cheaters in such games might be inclined to leap to the spots of the board that they wish to be on, so they can collect whatever bonuses await them there.  It is impossible to play an honest game of anything with such players, and this is what dealing with the Obama administration has been like.  A fair competition against such rivals is not possible, as they have shown clearly that they have no desire to play by any rules except the ones they make up as they go.  That very same attitude was exhibited boldly by Melowese Richardson who saw no problem with voting twice and submitting absentee ballots for several other people.

I have worked in neighborhoods like the one Melowese Richardson lives in.  I have worked extensively in Avondale, Lincoln Heights, Over-the-Rhine as well as Price Hill and the area around Fort Washington Way and I would bet that a majority of the residents in those areas are just as bold in their private beliefs as Melowese and show much of the same value system.  I do not believe that Melowese was at all an isolated incident, but that her behavior was common on Election Day in every densely populated area across the entire country.  And given those factors, Obama’s victory doesn’t seem nearly so well defined, and is certainly not a mandate to do as he pleases legally.

Republicans and other liberty leaning conservatives have the difficult task of admitting to themselves that there are laws that must be adhered to in order to have an elected President.  But for the laws to be effective there must be a will to defend the law with action.  In Hamilton Country, Melowese Richardson had such a disregard for the law that she went on a Channel 9 camera and admitted to election fraud assuming that nobody in their right mind would prosecute her.  Obama in office shows the exact same arrogance.  He has been caught in many lies, and he knows that nobody will come after him legally because he will simply hide his crimes behind Civil Rights bullet points. Obama supporters know that the public at large does not have the resolve, or conviction to stand behind the law, so they continue to break the rules at every opportunity.

Republicans are playing a game with the progressive Democrats equivalent to playing Monopoly with a cheater, where the unruly player ignores the dice in the game and simply moves their game pieces on the board where they wish and collect their $200 for passing Go as often as they please.  Republicans instead of calling out the behavior are attempting to play fair and set a good example.  They are reaching out to the Obama demographics that have been deliberately built to house bloc votes of stupidity, which is a futile task for the Republicans to win elections where the opposition will cheat in any manner possible anyway.  A fair game against such people is not possible.

We get the government we deserve and right now because there are so many cowards afraid of their own shadow, and fear throwing rocks in the glass houses they all reside in, Obama supporters are expanding government at an alarming rate.  President Obama is giving away entitlements like Santa Clause to the mob that supports him and will do anything to keep him in power so the gravy train keeps stopping at their station.  Obama is a legalized looter who is stealing the wealth of America and redistributing it with a socialist ideology that believes it supersedes all the rules of all the games ever made.  The crimes continue because good people sit by and do nothing—allowing themselves to be seduced by a smiling con artist that clearly says one thing to the face of his opponents and does entirely different things behind their backs.  Such villainy is beyond the comprehension of most people, but its happening.  The Book of Revelations seems to be entirely true to our own age.  The Mark of the Beast is in our house.

If the election had been a fair one, and not had so much fraud of which the three people mentioned here were just a very small part, Obama would not be President today.  That is not to say that Mitt Romney would have been all that much better, but a Republic that is built on such flimsy philosophy cannot last, and a society of Melowese Richardson types will destroy it with their lack of understanding.  The issue is not one of color, because if it was, Melowese Richardson would have supported Presidential candidates like Herman Cain, and Alan Keys like I have, or Ohio politicians like Ken Blackwell.  The real issue is the desire of a growing number of philosophically deficient human beings to yield their honor to government entitlements in trade for perpetual security.  To have that security they will break the law, lie, cheat or steal in any fashion available to get what they think they have coming and place in the White House a legal looter who will break into the wealth of a nation and drop wheel barrels of goods at their feet for the cost of a vote…………..a practice that is highly illegal, and a direct attack on everything that America stands for.  If left unchecked, why would Republicans ever think they can ever win an election by playing fair against opponents who so openly cheat?

This is why increasingly; the pirate flag I display at the end of my daily signatures is beginning to become a grudgingly accepted reality for many.   The way to beat the other side is not with fairness, but a rigid almost pirate like morality  for the law, where a swashbuckler’s disregard for the dangers of glass top dancing is regarded as a waste of time, and aggressive action is utilized.  In a world of looters the pirates of our day are the law bidding, and the sad irony is that they must stand for the law through the new rebellion of good over the detrimental.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Cincinnati Tea Party Defends “Fiscal Reponsibility”: Republicans attempt to become “compassionate conservatives” by copying Obama

Kasichcare16-300x225The Cincinnati Tea Party took the hard stand of protesting Governor Kasich’s open acceptance of Obamacare by expanding Medicaid with heavy hearts, but wild ambition.  Many traditional political pundits and strategists are not sure what to make of such an aggressive stand against what many thought was a Tea Party Governor.  It was the Tea Party that put Kasich over the top of Ted Strickland in 2010 yet within just two years Kasich has shown a desire to take yet more government handouts from the federal government which erodes away state sovereignty under the 10th Amendment, and openly ignores the Healthcare Freedom Amendment that was passed in Ohio protecting all state residents from Obamacare.  Republicans who many believe are behind the Tea Party movement are rather baffled to see Tea Party members treating them with the same aggressive vigor as they have progressive Democratic candidates.  Yet when the Tea Party says it demands fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government, they mean it no matter who the perpetrator is or what political affiliation is next to their name.Kasichcare21-300x225

To understand why and how the game is played between the federal government and state governments view this video done by members of The Cincinnati Tea Party.  The basic essence behind Kasich’s expansion of Medicaid can be explained in the video.

Below is the link to the article from The Cincinnati Tea Party website where pictures of the event can be seen.

http://cincinnatiteaparty.org/stop-kasichcare-rally-pictures/#more-221

Kasichcare13-300x225In a video from Channel 5 seen at one of the links below the camera ended on the face of Bill Cunningham of 700 WLW who at one time considered himself a “libertarian,” even a “conservative,” but nearly single-handedly undermined his friend John Kasich in the famous Senate Bill 5 election.  Cunningham learned then what Kasich is learning now, that they are both the kinds of politicians and media personalities who have taken the country to the brink of fiscal collapse.Kasichcare20-225x300  It is people like them who give Obama power, and federal influence over a state like Ohio.  When Cunningham said on the day after this rally on his radio show, “who wouldn’t take federal money if it helped to balance the budget.”  Well the answer is, Tea Party supporters wouldn’t, which is why they were protesting outside when the real culprits were inside patting themselves on the back.  If Kasich wants to be “compassionate” then let him give all his money to the poor, but don’t demand that everybody else has to throw some of their money in the pot of Ohio.  That is no different from what Obama does—and they are both wrong.

Under the new definitions of politics that The Cincinnati Tea Party is beginning to define it is not “compassionate” to steal other people’s money to redistribute to others, which is what Medicaid does and what the expansion of it will achieve.  John Kasich is not a “compassionate conservative” because he’s reaching out to the poor, and downtrodden.  It simply makes him a thief who sought a way to circumnavigate the Health Care Freedom Amendment with the expansion of a giant federal program with socialist tendencies in Medicaid.  The Tea Party does not exist to run for office or control a political party.  Kasichcare23-300x225It exists for one reason, to maintain fiscal responsibility, demand limited government, and maintain free markets in America.  Everything else is the workings of politicians who wish to make their marks on history by stealing from others so that they can buy votes with other people’s effort. As can be seen easily, the John Kasich seen at the video below and the Kasich seen at any of the links following the video are different people. Go ahead…………look for yourself.

And a side note to Ann………………I’m proud of you!  Nice job!

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

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

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

Dear Brad,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

West Chester Tea Party Shows ‘Atlas Shrugged Part II’: ‘The Strike’ comes to the popular Friday night movie event

I must thank Ann Becker President of the Cincinnati Tea Party and the producers of Atlas Shrugged Part II: The Strike for putting on a wonderful show at the very nice permanent facility dedicated to freedom in West Chester, Ohio where the WCTP meets regularly every third Tuesday of every month.  DSC04534Ann is also President of the West Chester Tea Party and has been doing movie nights on Fridays—about two a month featuring films that are intended for conservative and libertarian audiences.  This gives members of the West Chester community and Cincinnati at large a chance to escape the noisy children at the local multiplex in favor of intelligent correspondence among like-minded patrons.  There have been good crowds for the movie nights, and this was true of the film that I have so actively supported, the second Atlas Shrugged film based on Ayn Rand’s great 1957 classic novel which is second only to the Bible in the most popular books checked out at the Library of Congress.DSC04535

I have seen the second film many times now.  You can see my review of the film by CLICKING HERE:  It was slammed by the entertainment industry well before it hit theaters. The producers attempted to avoid the negative press by not releasing review copies, and opening the film to more than 1000 screens respectably, but reviewers shunned the film as soon as they had a chance to see it.  The big entertainment complex, including media subsidiaries like Entertainment Weekly, ETV, Entertainment Tonight and many others treated Atlas Shrugged Part II with the same disdain as they did the Romney Presidential run.  The media slant was extremely obvious.  The producers of Atlas Shrugged showed they would not be stopped in making the second film of an intended three-part series, even though the first film was equally treated with hatred by the general press.  The press and entertainment establishment had determined to circle the wagons against the effort.  They didn’t want the film to succeed whether it was good or not, because the message of the film is dangerous to the collective causes of many establishments—not only in the entertainment industry.  The movie is a bold attempt, and it delivers.  It’s easily as good as most of the films that can be seen in any movie theater for the price of admission.  The special effects were well done—many times they remind me of the effects from The Right Stuff.  And the train crash was better than a similar crash from the Steven Spielberg/J.J. Abrams film Super 8.   Atlas Shrugged Part II oozes with passion from the producers, and it’s easy to see.  It is hard to put a novel that is as philosophically heavy as Atlas is into a film version.  Fans of the book will always be hungry for more.  The effort here reminds me of the film version of John Grisham’s A Time to Kill.   The essence of the novel was achieved, but if fans want more, they’ll need to read the book.

For the uninitiated, many who saw the film for the first time in the West Chester Tea Party War Room on March 8th 2013, Atlas Shrugged Part II was their introduction to the book.  Upon the film’s release in October of 2012 the producers advertised heavily, and Harmon Kaslow went on just about every talk show from New York to Los Angeles leading up to the opening.  Many of the people who might find the Atlas story attractive have long ago given up on the official Hollywood product, and simply do not go to movies any longer.  So they skipped the movie when it hit theaters expecting another big Hollywood production that didn’t reflect their values.    Most of these types of viewers wait for a DVD release these days or for a big presentation like the one that Ann gave to her members.  This became obvious about halfway through the showing when I noticed the audience of just around 100 become emotionally involved in the film laughing at the jokes, booing at the resemblance to some of the contemporary problems America is currently facing, and finding themselves wrapped up tightly in anticipation of the climax.  At the end of the film—which is a cliffhanger—people were visibly upset wanting more movie.  They’ll have to wait for the third film which will really go down the philosophic rabbit hole as the lead character meets “The Perfect Man,” in John Galt.  It was fun for me to watch the reaction of the audience at the end as I know the story extremely well.  Seeing more people introduced to such a fantastic tale is enjoyable—like uncovering a treasure that has always been at their feet, and the light just comes on when they notice it for the first time.   If not for the West Chester Tea Party and the producers giving the green light to allow a public viewing free of charge—those 100 people may not have taken a chance on it any other way—because the print media was not kind at all to the film.

The reason for the hatred of the film is that two of the main villains in Atlas Shrugged Part II are Lillian Reardon and Jim Taggert, who resemble metaphorically most of the people in society.  The two conspire in the film to destroy the life of Hank Reardon—the creator of a new alloy of steel that is extremely light, very strong, cheap, and highly sought after by the government who wants to confiscate his technology for the “greater good.”  Lillian is the socialite wife who is a parasite to her husband Hank.  She only cares that he is a billionaire that can give her social status.  She does not earn that status on her own, and when she gets the opportunity to free herself from her husband once she discovers that Hank is sleeping with Dagny Taggert, Jim’s sister—(the main character), Lillian takes it.  Lillian makes a deal with Jim, who has the same parasitic relationship with his sister who runs the railroad company they inherited.  Jim is clueless about the ways of the world and can only achieve success in life through his political connections—which is referred to as “pull” in the film.    If I had to put my finger on a problem with the Atlas Shrugged film franchise, it is due to most people in society will see themselves as either Lillian or Jim—and they aren’t going to spend $10 per ticket to feel more guilty about their lives than they do already.  They go into a darkened theater to escape from such realizations, not to be hit over the head with them.DSC04536

All people could learn something from the story of Atlas Shrugged.  For many, they might find that they are like Jim’s wife, the innocent convenient store clerk who fell in love with the image of what she thought Jim Taggert was in the newspapers and television shows.  She married Jim and once she lived with him every day, discovered that he was simply a looter.  Jim Taggert was rich and powerful because he stole from others, while people like Hank were rich and powerful because they actually made things.  Not to give anything away but Jim’s wife kills herself in the next film once her disillusionment becomes too great.  She simply loses her faith in mankind and can see no way out but to take her own life—which is not light subject matter.  If I had to guess, I would think that a majority of a movie going audience feels some connection to Lillian, Jim or Jim’s wife—and none of those characters are the heroes of Atlas Shrugged.

Atlas Shrugged is not for the 99% as the Occupy Walls Street mantra defined.  Ayn Rand did not write her books for the masses, but aimed instead at the 1%.  Her target was not the very elite rich and famous 1% however, but those in the 1% who philosophically understood her message.  In the community of West Chester, Ohio which has 100,000 people minus all the children, the 100 present at the showing of Atlas Shrugged Part II represented accurately the 1% who are free thinkers and can wrap their minds around the hard subject matter of a very intense story.  For them Ann presented a wonderful evening free of the kind of mindless drivel that could be seen down the road at the various multiplexes.  Ann’s children and husband were present making popcorn that were free to the public which allowed viewers of the movie to sit down as the sun set out the west windows and enjoy watching a movie with surround sound and a screen that actually rivaled small movie theaters.

That is not to say that the other 99% of the population can’t enjoy Atlas Shrugged.  Chances are, they will watch the DVD which is currently released by 20th Century Fox, or catch it on Netflix out of curiosity, and the first time they see it, they might be devastated to learn how poorly they have conducted their lives and discover what parasites they are on society.  The movie will make them think which most people don’t enjoy doing.  But that is the function of art, and Atlas Shrugged Part II is an artistic rendition of the great novel—and it’s damn good.  It has the visual elements of a typical movie, but it’s not about visuals, it’s about philosophy—and that is not appealing to the masses.

The producers of Atlas Shrugged Part II can feel pride that big traditional films like The Hobbit and Dark Knight Rises were also blacklisted by Hollywood in 2012 for similar reasons.  Dark Knight Rises was almost as obvious in its anti collectivist message as Atlas Shrugged Part II.  In fact, I watched Dark Knight Rises right before seeing Atlas Shrugged Part II at the WCTP War Room and while the production value for the former is much higher than the later, the themes were just as powerful.  Atlas was just blunter about it, which was Ayn Rand’s writing style.  In Dark Knight Rises director Christopher Nolan had the ability to subtly bring the audience into the fray of the story through Catwoman played by Anne Hathaway who begins the film as a socialist, but through the course of the story learns how wrong she was under the patient tutelage of Batman.  The audience experienced the story through the eyes of Catwoman and at the end of the film discovered that Catwoman and Batman were equals—so the audience was able to get what they paid their money for.  Catwoman made Batman relatable to the mass audience.  That is why Dark Knight Rises made over $1 billion dollars at the worldwide box-office in spite of the bad reviews.  Lucky for Dark Night Rises the comic book media did not abandon the film on release, so it had financial success.  But in Atlas Shrugged Part II, there is no such character like a Catwoman.  The closest is Jim Taggert’s wife, and her fate is not a good one, as discussed.  So the audience gets hit over the head when they have to compare their lives to the heroes of Atlas Shrugged.  Very, very, very……………………………………….VERY few people can relate to Hank Reardon who isn’t even the hero of the story.  In the eyes of the protagonist Dagny, Hank had one major, glaring flaw–he cared enough about her to not allow her to be blackmailed when her brother, his wife and the federal government found out about their affair and wanted to exploit it to gain access to the patents on his metal.  Hank to save Dagny the pain of public humiliation finally gave up his fight.  Instead of running to Hank to comfort him in his darkest hour and show sympathy to the “man of steel” in thanks for defending her honor Dagny ran off to find John Galt—a man who has never compromised, who has never yielded, who has never lost—who is a genius, an expert tactician, a master of design and is perfect in every form.  Hank asked to see her in a moment of weakness when his whole world fell down around him, but she did not come.  And he did not cry about it.  He simply picked himself up and moved on.  That is not the Hollywood formula—so nobody in Entertainment knows how to deal with it.  They can only criticize it because of their lack of comprehension.

The success of Atlas Shrugged Part II unfortunately cannot be measured by box office numbers because the film was not made for the masses.  It was made for the 100 people in the WCTP War Room who showed up on a Friday night to watch Atlas on movie night with freshly made free popcorn and drinks for an audience who understands the plight of Dagny and John Galt.  For intellectual stimulation the audience wished to have an evening away from the Lillian Reardon’s of the world if just for a few hours and be around like-minded patrons.  Under that measure of success, at the conclusion of Atlas Shrugged Part II there were claps of approval and questions about the fate of the third installment, which suddenly had very urgent demands for the release date.  I told people who asked me that the plan for Atlas Shrugged Part III was for July 4th 2014.  For now, I am grateful that such a film exists for those smart enough to comprehend it, and clean enough in their thoughts to grapple with the themes.  If the producers had not worked hard to produce the film, and place themselves at great financial risk, this Friday night experience would have never happened.  The filmmakers like the fictional composer Richard Halley from the story know that the merit of Atlas Shrugged Part II cannot be understood by the mass public.  Halley when he received a standing ovation during his musical performance in the movie as the concert pianist simply disappeared off the stage without explanation.  Halley in the third film will continue to write and perform music but not for a mass audience who cannot understand or appreciate his music.  Instead he moved to Galt’s Gulch—Atlantis with John Galt and the rest of the heroes of Atlas to let society crumble away into nothing as they preserve humanity from the parasites of civilization.DSC04541

My advice to the producers of Atlas Shrugged Part III would be to forget the mass release to theaters in the next go around, but to perhaps have a premier in a few theaters, but to otherwise release the film to people like Ann Becker of the Cincinnati Tea Party and let the audience be much more targeted on the next go around with direct DVD sales.  Even the Walt Disney Company engages in direct to DVD releases, and that should probably be the future of the third film from a financial stand point.  Because like Richard Halley in Atlas Shrugged, only the people in Atlantis will understand and appreciate his music the way he intended it.  So to, out of 100,000 people in West Chester, there are probably only around 1000 who will understand the message behind Atlas Shrugged.  The rest are simply like Lillian Reardon and Jim Taggert who will do everything in their power to keep the lessons of Atlas from their minds so they can continue to practice mental evasion and parasitic looting of other people’s wealth.  On movie night for the West Chester Tea Party Atlantis was at 5430 West Chester Road, and we enjoyed the performance.

To the critics who will without question read this and be insulted at just the mention of Ayn Rand or Atlas Shrugged and will treat it like Holy Water being thrown on a demon possessing an innocent soul, if you don’t know the story, watch the videos above and you’ll understand that there is a lot more to Atlas Shrugged than just a pro-capitalism message.  I have seen 5 times in my life alone what happened to the fictional 20th Century Motor Company in the film for many of the same exact reasons.  And let me say…………..I understand John Galt as well as I understand the skin on the back of my own hand.  There is more truth in Atlas Shrugged as a novel than 8 years of most college courses.  And the movies only make the information more accessible to a wider audience.  So take advantage of the ease for which the producers have provided a vast treasure for the minds of the many, even if they can’t quite get their thoughts around it.  It’s worth trying.  You can find the DVD by CLICKING HERE.

THE NOTHING

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Star Wars Celebration Europe: Get ready to feel the Force!

The Emperor is coming to the biggest Star Wars party in Europe, July 26-28, 2013 in Essen, Germany.

 

Ian McDiarmid, the actor who unforgettably played the evil galactic mastermind and the ultimate villain of the Star Wars Saga, will make a rare convention appearance at Star Wars Celebration Europe, appearing on-stage and signing autographs.

This summer’s event will mark the first Celebration in Europe at which the highly sought-after actor will appear to sign autographs and chat on the Celebration Stage, offering attendees a rare opportunity to hear about the making of Star Wars from his perspective.

In 1983, McDiarmid embodied the full depth of the dark side as the Emperor in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, his face hidden under intensive makeup and his eyes concealed behind yellow contact lenses. When his true face was revealed as the apparently kind and helpful Senator Palpatine in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace (1999), he projected a different kind of evil – a subtle manipulator of galactic events, a villain hidden in plain sight. As the prequels progressed, so too did Palpatine’s plans until finally, in Revenge of the Sith (2005), McDiarmid got to play evil at its fullest, and revealed the true power of Darth Sidious.

Star Wars Celebrations bring fans of all ages together, from all points of the globe, to celebrate the pop-culture phenomenon that is Star Wars. From its young fans of Star Wars: The Clone Wars to die-hards fueled by the nostalgia for the original Star Wars trilogy; curious, casual followers; gamers, readers, costumers or collectors — there’s something for everyone at Celebration.

Tickets available now at http://www.starwarscelebration.eu/

Kasich The Progressive: Medicaid expansion in Ohio and why Republicans lose so often

Let’s play a little game……………guess who said the following—“This budget also takes the significant step of helping more low-income and working Ohioans have access to health care through Medicaid, for which the federal government will pay 100 percent for three years and level off at 90 percent beginning in 2020.  While a complex decision, this reform not only helps improve the health of vulnerable Ohioans and frees up local funds for better mental health and addiction services, but it also helps prevent increases to health care premiums and potentially devastating impacts to local hospitals.”  If you guessed President Obama on one of his frequent campaign speeches that have extended well past the election, you were wrong.  No, the person who said such a reckless political statement cited above was what once people—myself included—thought was one of the most conservative governors in the Union.  The author of that statement was none other than Governor John Kasich.

http://www.redstate.com/jasonahart/2013/02/05/with-medicaid-expansion-gov-kasichs-credibility-collapses/

Kasich has ignored the efforts of Ohioans to reject Obamacare and instead has put his finger to the political winds after the loss of Senate Bill 5, and changed his political philosophy in the wake of the election of 2012.  Kasich seems to be listening to his more progressive friends these days like tabloid television star Bill Cunningham instead of people like Sean Hannity as he has made a noticeable political shift to the far left relative to his previous position.  Kasich’s progressive shift portrays exactly why government continues to grow unsustainably as politicians who lack personal conviction find themselves molded by the mob, (masses) and lose their will to fight, or step out of office to maintain their principles.  I would respect Kasich more if he didn’t allow himself to be swayed by public opinion and simply did not run for re-election in 2014—returning back to Fox News as Bill O’Reilly’s back-up host.  Rather, he has listened to his progressive friends in that an elected representative must put aside their personal feelings and govern on behalf of all people, not just certain groups.  While on the surface, this sounds good—in a democracy it allows for the masses to shape government toward the whims of collective force rather than a republic shaped by the representation of the people who elected that voting presence.  With Kasich we thought we were getting a conservative—instead we ended up with a guy who lost a couple of fights and has now thrown up the white flag—surrendering to progressives allowing government to grow even more under his watch.

I had a state senator tell me recently that he despised the word “Rhino” which is what Tea Party types have been calling Republicans who have shown a willingness to work with progressives to find a “middle ground.”  To such people who don’t desire to fight for their principles, even if it costs them an election, they see the Tea Party position as radical, and too far to the political “right” to win over the “working poor,” “minorities,” and those addicted to government entitlements.  Rhino Republicans like Chris Christie and Kasich have listened to their critics and moved to the left, which is what has been happening to Republicans since the Civil War—and is why government has grown so much over the last hundred years.  Nobody has been present in government to stop that growth and when it has been thought that such people have been elected, they turn out to lose like Kasich has to progressives, and our entire society moves further to the left.  I told the senator that elected representatives need to believe in something and stand for it, and to stop thinking strategically about maintaining the House or Senate as a majority—because if it means compromising fiscal beliefs to hold the office, then their representation is worthless.  He said we’ll have to agree to disagree and we both put more relish on our hot dogs and let it pass nicely—but the implication of his statement stayed with me for weeks.  The game modern politicians are playing on the conservative side is a game of keep away, but even so, they are losing ground in the process by the radical progressives incessant pursuit of moving the goal posts far to the political left with each year that passes.  (SEE MY PREVIOUS ARTICLE ON THIS)

Now that my youngest daughter has had a baby the constant advice from many family members is that she should take advantage of the many government programs available to her such as Wic and various insurance programs supported by the government.  Many of these family members are affluent people and their comments center around, “You already pay taxes honey, just look at it as collecting on your investment.”  This has went on for many years, in fact when my wife was pushed in the same direction when we had kids over twenty years ago and I learned of the nature of the discussion—there were serious fireworks at our house and family rifts that lasted decades.  The reasoning to my wife then was, “you’re husband is riding a bicycle to work for God’s sake, take the pressure off him and get on Wic so that you can afford baby formula.”  I was as violently against government assistance as a 19 year-old as I am today, so this urging did not sit well with me and did not go unanswered.  The expansion of government happens in part because they actively attempt to sign up young women to government programs to take off some of the financial pressure, then the young women as adults have lost their moral authority to speak against those programs as wizened adults, so they justify such endeavors by saying that “we already paid taxes into the program, we might as well get something out of it.”

I learned recently that regarding Kasich’s expansion of Medicaid, offices have been actively attempting to increase enrollment on the program to justify the expansion.  The unsaid strategy from Kasich is that he wants young women and the working poor voters to know that the Governor is looking out for them–to give them a hand up in life—especially during the hard first years of starting a family.   He thinks he’s taking a page from the Democratic playbook and is beating them at their own game, but in the end the progressive wins because they set the measure everyone is playing to.  In that way conservative governors like Kasich and Christie play to the same rules that Obama and the New York progressive Cuomo play by.  In the end, government expands because nobody in government from either side fight for their beliefs, and the republic of America is reduced to a democracy of majority rule which will always perpetuate toward degeneracy.  When politicians refuse to take a hard-line, then chaos becomes the ruler no matter who is in charge.

The senator mentioned that was eating hot dogs for dinner with me will never understand why Tea Party members call him and his kind Rhinos due to their will to compromise, because their goal is not just the health of Ohio, it is in maintaining majorities in the House and Senate.  To do that they must compromise with radical government expansionists who are always looking for new ways to make the public addicted to their services as they redistribute wealth with tax and spend management of state and federal economies.  The people who lose are those who think they are voting for men and women of conviction only to find out that their representatives are weak-willed progressives addicted to public office and perpetual elections that keep them out of the meat grinder of the private sector.  The worst and weakest human beings typically therefore move into public office and they work to stay there.  Real reformers enter office only to leave a few years later in frustration, or do like Kasich has and declared that if you can’t beat them………….you join them.  Which he has.

Now a note about what can be done about these diabolical schemes from the desk of Steve Elliott, which primarily focuses on these issues at the federal level.  It should be noted that many of the sequestration jobs being cut were created in the same manner that Kasich is now expanding Medicaid, so the events are connected directly.

The BIG LIE of BIG GOVERNMENT is about to be exposed — IF members of Congress will stand strong and NOT be bullied by Obama. We must understand precisely what’s happening. Please see below. — Steve

Dear Don,

Yesterday, we warned you that an effort was under way to give Obama unconstitutional authority to raise taxes. This shocking news was confirmed by various  news reports.

The good news … many grassroots citizens responded, and we dodged that bullet!

Now … today … as the doomsdayers in D.C. are counting down to the Sequester-mageddon. President Obama just held a press conference DEMANDING NEW TAXES and blaming conservatives for the coming alleged catastrophe of sequester.

And our Radical-in-Chief is getting ready to unleash his unprecedented grassroots army to PRESSURE your Ohio members of Congress to RAISE YOUR TAXES!

+ + Krauthammer Exposes OBAMA’S BIG LIE

Let’s be clear — the entire sequester “crisis” is a fabrication of Obama himself — the idea originated in the White House. And it’s designed to force us to accept even higher taxes and even more government spending.

Obama thought conservatives would have caved in long ago. Now, as Charles Krauthammer explains in his column today, the BIG LIE of the Left is about to be exposed.

What is that BIG LIE?

Simply this:

The LEFT’S BIG LIE is that any cutbacks to BIG GOVERNMENT will cause severe economic hardship to be unleashed on our nation. But it’s a lie!

As Krauthammer explains, if the sky doesn’t fall with a modest cutback in government spending, “people might get the idea that we can shrink government and live on.”

Do you see what’s happening?

If the sky DOESN’T fall with a 2% cut in government spending, then the BIG LIE of BIG GOVERNMENT will be exposed!

That’s why Obama’s far-left “Organizing For Action” activist group sent this message out to their tens of millions of followers yesterday:

“On the chopping block are 10,000 teaching jobs, more than 70,000 kids’ spots in Head Start, $35 million for local fire departments, $43 million to make sure seniors don’t go hungry, and access to nutrition assistance for 600,000 women and their families.”
Obama and the Left WANT sequester! They want the threat of school teachers and firemen and air traffic controllers losing their jobs because it creates an underlying fear of any cutbacks in government.

+ + TAKE ACTION: EXPOSE THE BIG LIE!

As I write, Obama has unleashed his ORGANIZING FOR ACTION activist group to bombard Congress.

You and I have two choices.

We can sit by silently and let Obama’s fear tactics take the day.

Or …

We can take action and help EXPOSE THE BIG LIE of BIG GOVERNMENT leftists!

If you want to take action, here’s what you can do:

#1 — Call Your Members Of Congress

Tell your two Ohio Senators and your Representative what you think about Obama’s plan to grow government and raise taxes. Let them know that you see through the BIG LIE of BIG GOVERNMENT. Phone numbers:

Sen. Brown: 202-224-2315
Sen. Portman: 202-224-3353
Rep. Chabot and Rep. Boehner (Note: we are listing two Reps because you live in a gerrymandered district.): 202-225-2216 and 202-225-6205

#2 — Sign Grassfire’s “No New Taxes” Petition.

If you oppose the BIG GOVERNMENT plan to raise taxes, join with nearly 100,000 other citizens in signing Grassfire’s “No New Taxes” petition. We will be delivering petitions to leaders in Congress as soon as next week. Go here now:

www.grassfire.com/322/petition.asp

Remember, just two months ago Congress and Obama raised YOUR TAXES by two percent — and exactly 60 days later, they’re back for more! Sign the petition.

#3 — Tell BIG GOVERNMENT Politicians: “We Paid Our 2%! Why Can’t You?”

Grassfire has set up a FaxFire to let you tell Congress, “We Paid Our 2%! Why Can’t You?” After all, they just imposed a two-percent tax on us. That means we were FORCED to cut back our family budgets by two percent. Government can do the same!

As Krauthammer writes:

“…millions of American workers have had to tighten their belts by precisely two percent. They found a way. Washington, spending $3.8 trillion, cannot? If so, we might as well declare bankruptcy now and save the attorneys’ fees.”
Go here now to fax your two Ohio Senators, your Representative and key leaders on Capitol Hill:

www.grassfire.com/5322/offer.asp

Again … Obama and the Left are very nervous today. WHAT IF THE SKY DOESN’T FALL?

Then their Big Lie is exposed.

Thanks for the stand you’re taking.
