What Women Want: Why the Huffington Post is afraid of Donald Trump

If you were listening to Matt Clark on WAAM radio over the weekend, you would have heard that he had me on as a guest and our primary discussion was Donald Trump. He and I agreed mostly that Trump wasn’t the ideal man we wanted to see as president—morally, but that for the specific tasks awaiting this next president, he was uniquely qualified. We need a champion for capitalism and who better than a man with a personal value of $10 billion dollars to help the nation get back on track to positive GDP growth. Unlike fellow billionaires who have succumb to progressive pressure to embrace altruism, Trump has stayed steadfast to the roots of capitalism which made him rich to begin with, and he is an unapologetic advocate that is best poised to sell capitalism to a world in need.

Liberal circles are scared of Trump, he has the ability to dominate the presidential race with his fearless criticisms leaving the Huffington Post to declare that they would not feature Trump as a viable candidate. Instead they would regulate him to the gossip columns, and while Trump’s campaign fired back at the Post in an admirable way, I couldn’t help but think that the Huffington Post would help Trump greatly by their strategy. Young people don’t read or care about politics—but they do care about the size of Kim Kardasians ass, or what variation of sexuality Bruce Jenner is undergoing these days. So they don’t care about the blog posts by the Huffington Post and their opinions on politics. Putting Trump on the pages with Bruce Jenner would even help his campaign that much more—which is likely the strategy of Trump to begin with.

 

Specifically however Matt Clark and I discussed on his radio show the need for America to gain back some of its swagger. It needs a salesman to make people feel good about the product that America is once again, and to get away from this constant desire to apologize to the world for being so wonderful. I joked during the WAAM show that America needs a calendar for the world with girls in American flag bikinis taken on the White House lawn just to flaunt that women can be free and beautiful, that capitalism’s excesses improve a quality of life, and that freedom of expression are revered as the highest possible value. And it also puts out of our mind the ridiculous activism Obama started by putting rainbow colors on the White House. He made sexual preference a matter of state business, so to represent the rest of America who are heterosexual, bikini clad models would be more appropriate, and fair. In 2016 we will need a president who will declare such things and not worry about the backlash.

I understand Trump. I share with him a love of backlash. The more that people try to steer me into a direction, the more I push back. I have spent a life being pushed by very powerful forces, and I have never yielded to them, and they still try knowing that it’s a futile task. Trump is a similar “A” type personality and I know that if he is pushed and coaxed toward some collective strategy, whether it is the GOP, Democratic socialists, lobbyists, Bilderberg members, or other nations, Trump will rely on himself and only himself for counsel. He won’t sit down with his wife and say, “honey, what do you think I should do?” He’ll sit down, think about things, then act—which is the kind of man who I want in the White House. And ladies, don’t write me and tell me that’s sexist. I read the Fifty Shades of Grey books and I’ve been married for a long time. I raised two daughters and have worked with thousands of women over the years. I know what women want and what they really think. So does Trump. I don’t by the progressive women’s liberation crap—for a fraction of a second. Women are told they want to buy into that mentality, but when it comes time for the bedroom—all that goes out the window—quick. Women want a decisive man who is self confident—and one that smells good. They like a man who is self-driven, self-reliant, and who is financially independent. Women if polled during a soccer game with friends or at a sex toy convention will say that Trump is an arrogant son-of-a-bitch, and that they’ll vote for Hillary. But when they are alone in that voting booth, it will be Trump that they will punch the ticket for. Bet on it—because they want more Trump and what he has to offer.

And so does the world. They want American Swagger to give them hope that hard work will lead to something and that a value in quality is still respected. Trump represents quality—even as a billionaire. He is the modern embodiment of Robert Pirsig’s metaphysics of quality. CLICK TO REVIEW. It is in that metaphysics of quality that concepts of Marxism fail, because Karl Marx never understood that in all his life. Communists and socialists fail to understand why leadership works and how “front of the train” vision overwhelms “back of the train” analysis 100% of the time. They are completely regulated to the back of the train of all thought and are often too late to act on decisions in time to change course even when it’s obvious that there is a need. That is why modern politicians are completely unable to deal with the $18 trillion-dollar debt issue. They are trying to run the train from behind instead of at the front. The train is always moving and by the time that data reaches the back, the decision points have already passed.

Trump understands the “speed of business” and that deadlines are important. He would bring to the White House maybe for the first time a real manager who understands money. Even great presidents like Jefferson ran into financial hardship late in their lives, and so far only Jackson actually rid the nation of debt. Jackson was a Democrat and was hated by history for his treatment of Indians, but I’d take him any day for his tendency to dual others for honor, target shoot from the White House windows and hold the nation to fiscal responsibility. I don’t need a spokesman for a political party in the White House, or another socialists advocate, America needs a champion for capitalism and the money created by it—which directly improves the lives of everyone. Business is more important than emotion, because one generates money and resources; the other dictates the quality of relationships between people.   Without resources, relationships are always strained, so if resources are available, relationships improve dramatically. Capitalism makes a more peaceful world and America needs to get back in the business of selling it.

American Swagger and capitalist domination is the mandate of our times. We cannot afford one more bad election cycle with another altruist as president. We need someone who knows what they are doing, and won’t apologize for doing it. Trump will have the minority votes because as he said, he is a job creator, and people respect being given a job as opposed to the humility of a welfare check. In the vacancy of one they’ll take the other, but they will be resentful people as a result. And regarding women, they’ll vote for Trump because that’s really the kind of man they want in charge of things. And men will vote for him because Trump represents an honesty that most males respect. So he’s a dangerous candidate to the establishment. And the Huffington Post knows it.

Kicking El Chapo’s Ass: Standing up for America against drug cartel scum bags

If El Chapo and his band of thugs came to my neighborhood ready to perform one of their famous hits, I’d gladly toss a piñata at those midgets to get them all gathered in one place and then introduce them to my Smith & Wesson. Then I’d call my friends at Second Call Defense to work out the details and scoop them up into a wagon headed for the local dump. I’ve had hits called out on me so I know what its like to live with that kind of thing, and it’s not nearly as scary as people might think. Scum bags like these drug dealers are accustomed to making people scared of them because they largely outgun the people they terrorize. But when you have guns too, it is easy to see that these kinds of people are just thugs seeking to terrorize people as bullies so that they can line their pockets with stolen money lifted off of cowards. It drives me crazy at how many people who have the rights of the Second Amendment at their disposal as American citizens allow themselves to be intimidated by these drug cartels. Fear empowers these scum bags and makes them much worse. This topic is in fact the plot of my Cliffhanger story, Sacrifice to Santa Maurta—heavily inspired by real life drug dealers and their worship of Santa Muerte—the goddess of death so popular in Mexican culture. I despise drugs of all kinds, and I despise the scum that deals in drugs, including most beer manufacturers. They make poison for the human mind—so the context of my hatred for drug dealers should be considered.   Progressives will call such talk a hunger for the times of the Wild Wild West—where guns and shoot-outs are the measures of valor. I would call it a proper identification of the elements of our times. When people like this Guzman escapee who runs a major drug cartel are allowed to roam freely throughout the world, running his cartel from his prison all this time and the authorities of the world fail to contain him for his crimes, we are living in a world where the gun rules the day, and Americans better keep their Second Amendment rights as close to them as their purses and wallets because of it.

Drug cartels must have an environment of fear to function otherwise they cannot control their sales regions. Just like gangs must enforce their turf with terrorism, cartels are just larger examples of collectivist philosophy, where individuals are required to yield to an organized crime establishment with silence. To maintain that silence and the movement of illegal goods under the noses of the masses, fear must be utilized to prevent thoughtful contemplation of the evil involved. So when Donald Trump called out the corruption of the Mexican country and their alliance with these drug dealers, I cheered him on, because he was speaking the kind of things I want to hear other Americans say. My position as an American is not to yield to the fears of Mexican drug cartels, it is to fight back. I don’t want to accept their terrorism. I want to take the pain they are imposing on our country and send it back to Mexico—with love. But when Donald Trump brought up the issue of Guzman during a speech, either El Chapo himself, or one of worshiping thugs said this to Trump.

“If you keep pissing me off I’m going to make you eat your words you f****** blonde milks*******,” read the tweet from Guzman’s account, according to an online translation.

Trump then tweeted an answer saying that he’d kick Guzman’s “ass,” unlike other presidential contenders who are softer on immigration.

“Keep f–king around, and I’ll make you eat all of your godd–n words, f–king whitey f—-t @realDonaldTrump,” an account claiming to be Guzman’s official Twitter presence tweeted at Trump’s account in Spanish.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/donald-trump-kick-el-chapo-a-article-1.2290555

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/07/13/escaped-mexican-drug-lord-allegedly-threatens-donald-trump-with-this-profanity-laced-tweet/

That kind of thuggish insult is completely beyond tolerance. Guzman’s thugs don’t have a right to make such comments directly implying a threat to a person running for president without some ramifications. Trump didn’t threaten to kill Guzman or even imply violence. He just said that authorities were stupid for letting Guzman go—which is obvious. Trump did nothing to provoke such a threat. And here’s the worst of it, Twitter knows who has what account and how to track that kind of activity. Trump smartly did call the FBI about the threat, which is the correct thing to do. Through the NSA and various other agencies, they know where the threats were made, what IP address posted the comment. So where is the arrest for such a threat? Even if it was someone pretending to be El Chapo, where are authorities in arresting such a character for making such a threat?

That’s why we have the Second Amendment. Scum bags like these drug cartels are used to buying off authorities with looted money and having immunity from prosecution. Even when they are in jail, they are allowed to live their lives in relative luxury. So they don’t fear anything, and they make their livings harassing people who do live good lives and play by the rules into fear so the thugs can control their actions. The threat allegedly by El Chapo was intended to shut Trump up from his highlight of the Mexican border issues. Guzman knows that if the border is tightened up, that it will be much more difficult to flow drugs across the border, so he threatened Trump—and that deserves action on behalf of the United States.

We live in an age where a satellite can watch a turtle cross a road in some remote region. Nobody can convince me that they don’t know where El Chapo is. We know who his wife is, we know his children, we know where his cartel hangs out, we know how to watch the traffic to and from his various compounds, and it really isn’t that hard to find him. If he can find Trump, or anybody else for that matter for the purpose of physical harassment and fearful instigation, then the same can be done to him. It is an outrage that just one day out of jail his supporters felt so cocky to actually put a Tweet out against Trump in an attempt to shut him up without having any fear of arrest for the behavior.

When Trump said that he’d kick El Chapo’s ass, it was precisely the kind of language I wanted out of a presidential frontrunner. I want a guy who isn’t afraid of drug cartels. Heck, if you’re president, people will threaten to kill you every day, so candidates might as well get used to it. Even better than body guards is a candidate who uses the pronoun I when declaring violent action when threatened. When that candidate is armed with their own guns to take care of the matter, you have a guy who can be president of the United States in this volatile climate. We need a guy who won’t back down when challenged to a fight, because when you are dealing with thugs, that is the only language they understand.

The main issue is to understand why people like El Chapo even think that such threats are effective. What they are advocating is non-thinking compliance to a collective order, and force is the way they crush individual opinion. They are essentially stating, cast an opinion about what we are doing, and we will hurt you, or worse yet, end your life. So go along with us if you don’t want to get hurt. Well, that is not acceptable. I certainly don’t live that way. And I am sooooooooo very happy to see that Donald Trump—isn’t that way either. What a refreshing change in the political landscape!

The Military Objective of Mexican Illegal Immigration: Understanding the Constitution of 1917

Did you ever wonder dear reader why so many liberals want an open border policy with Mexico, and why they want to pull Republicans into amnesty debates with illegal aliens? Did you ever wonder why they are seeking to overwhelm the American welfare system with illegal immigrants and why they want to change the name to something more “respectful?” It is good to ask questions. It is even better to know history. It is extremely important to understand Mexico itself and the extreme liberal investment that progressivism has made into the region for the last hundred years so to properly understand the politics of the present. Specifically it is important to understand that the Constitution of Mexico written in 1917 was essentially a Marxist revolution that was as radical as the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Union. They were spreading communist banter among the working poor years before Cuba fell to communism leading the entire Central American region to teeter politically with communism and socialism. That disease would then spread down into South America where it has impoverished every country south of the United States border for a century now. And presently, the communists are banking on flooding America with the descendents of this revolution through a weakness for illegal narcotics and praying for a revolution in the United States of an even greater socialist uprising. Mexico as it is today is a socialist region with roots in radical communism and they are not friends to our capitalist country. They are drowning on their choice of socialism and the political left is using them to topple American capitalism by flooding our political system with people trained to think like socialists spreading their roots into Marxist expectations. Here is some of the history of the Mexican Revolution for reference.

The Mexican Revolution (Spanish: Revolución mexicana) was a major armed struggle that started in 1910, with an uprising led by Francisco I. Madero against longtime autocrat Porfirio Díaz, and lasted for the better part of a decade until around 1920.[5] Over time the revolution changed from a revolt against the established order to a multi-sided civil war with frequently shifting power struggles amongst factions in the Mexican Revolution.

This armed conflict is often categorized as the most important sociopolitical event in Mexico and one of the greatest upheavals of the 20th century;[6] it resulted in an important program of experimentation and reform in social organization.[7]

A number of Mexicans began to organize against Díaz’s policies that had welcomed foreign capital and capitalists, suppressed nascent labor unions, and consistently moved against peasants as agriculture flourished. In 1905, a group of Mexican intellectuals and agitators who had created the Mexican Liberal Party (Partido Liberal de México), drew up a radical program of reform, specifically addressing what they considered the worse aspects of the Díaz regime. Most prominent in the PLM were Ricardo Flores Magón and his two brothers, Enrique Flores Magón and Jesús Flores Magón. They along, with Luis Cabrera Lobato and Antonio Díaz Soto y Gama, were connected to the anti-Díaz publication, El Hijo de Ahuizote. Political cartoons of José Guadalupe Posada lampooned politicians and cultural elites with mordant humor, portraying them as skeletons. The Liberal Party of Mexico founded the anti-Díaz, anarchist newspaper, Regeneración, which appeared in both Spanish and English. In exile in the United State was Práxedis Guerrero, who started an anti-Díaz newspaper in San Francisco, Alba Roja. Although leftist groups were small in number, through their publications they became highly influential and helped articulate the reasons to oppose the Díaz regime. Francisco Bulnes (politician) described these men as the “true authors” of the Mexican Revolution for agitating the masses.[20] As the 1910 election approached, Francisco I. Madero, an idealistic, political novice and member of one of Mexico’s richest families, funded a newspaper Anti-Reelectionista, in opposition to the continuous re-election of Díaz.

Labor began organizing, then striking against their employers for better wages and more just treatment. Demands for better conditions for labor were part of the Liberal Party Program, drawn up in 1905. Mexican copper miners in the northern state of Sonora taking action in the 1906 Cananea strike, where, among other grievances, they were paid less than U.S. nationals working in the mines.[21] In the state of Veracruz, textile workers struck in January 1907 at the huge Río Blanco, Veracruz factory, the world’s largest, against unfair labor practices, especially the payment of wages in credit that could only be used at the company store.[22]

One of the major issues that faced Obregón’s early post-revolution government was stabilizing Mexico. Regional caciques (chiefs) were still fighting each other in small skirmishes. The populace was demanding reforms, promised by the 1917 constitution. Many issues faced the working poor, such as debt peonage and company stores that kept the populace poor. The military had generals who wanted to overthrow the regime and take power for themselves. There were also foreign governments, primarily the United States, who feared Mexico would take a communist turn such as Russia was to do in 1918. Obregón was in a difficult position; he had to appeal to both the left and the right to ensure Mexico would not fall back into civil war.

With regard to the masses, Obregón, who was conservative but still a reformer, started listening to demands to appease the populace. Obregón’s first focus, in 1920, was land reform. He had governors in various states push forward the reforms promised in the 1917 constitution. These were, however, quite limited. Former Zapatistas still had strong influence in the post-revolutionary government, so most of the reforms began in Morelos, the birthplace of the Zapatista movement.

Despite pressures from the U.S., Obregón flirted with the newly formed USSR. To appeal to intellectuals and left-leaning peasants, official Mexican propaganda began having a very Marxist spin. Murals with Lenin and Trotsky began to appear in government buildings. Despite the sympathy towards socialism, the government began to ferment nationalism amongst the peasantry. This was accomplished by memorializing revolutionary figures and creating anti-western murals. Among the artists employed was Diego Rivera, who had a Mexican nationalist and Marxist tinge to his government murals. Despite these moves towards an anti-western and pro-socialist regime, Obregón did not separate the Mexican economy from foreign capitalists, allowing free trade with some restrictions.

Meanwhile, in 1927 another military coup was attempted, this time receiving support from land owners. Calles quickly crushed the rebellion with help from the newly mobilized peasant battalions, who later on were used to fight against the Church. In the midst of the mobilized worker’s militias, land reform, and anti-church actions, the American government began to openly declare Mexico a Bolshevik regime. To recover from the backlash, Calles began to tone down the radical rhetoric and slowed land reform policies in 1928. A year later, Calles defeated the church ending the rebellion.

After the war ended in 1929, supporters of Calles and Obregón began to form a united political party called the National Revolutionary Party or PNR. This was to unite the various revolutionary factions of the civil war to prevent further Cristero revolts and build stability.

After a series of interim presidents controlled by the party, Lázaro Cárdenas took power in 1934. Cárdenas was a socialist and began to base government policy on class struggle and empowering the masses. However, not all of his reforms were completely socialist, making him somewhat more centrist than purely socialist. Regardless, his rule was the most radical phase of the post revolution, social revolution.

Now, if you look at the violence that took place in Iran during the 70s, it is important to understand that it was a Marxist philosophy that was being implemented against an aristocratic regime friendly to the United States. China of course in the late 40s was taken over by communism, Cuba was hit with communism in the late 50s and of course the Soviet Union fell to communism during the early part of the Twentieth Century. And at that exact same time as communists were taking over the U.S.S.R, Marxism was attempting to rise in Mexico under the guiding help of progressive intellectuals. They of course didn’t call it communism in Mexico, until the socialist regimes were firmly in control with a social justice oriented constitution. It took about thirty years to fully reveal what they had really been trying to achieve with their revolution. The same slow flood of communism is still moving across the earth, Europe is now drowning with it, all of South America is submitting to it and in all of Asia, only Japan and South Korea are reminiscent of capitalist countries. Then there is the United States where progressives within American culture are trying to overtake the political system of the freest country on earth with a socialist revolution by flooding the borders, then giving amnesty to the illegal aliens to vote socialist in upcoming elections and topple the country away from capitalism into socialism, then communism.

This move has already been underway within black communities. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW. Communists have been working within the black communities for years to exploit them away from capitalism and to embrace socialism. The proof of what that strategy has created can be seen in Detroit, which presently looks much the way Tijuana does in Mexico. Everywhere that socialism takes root, the lights of hope go out in people and their roads begin to litter with crime and dilapidated evidence of finer times. The most disgusting place I’ve ever visited was the suburbs of Cancun, Mexico. It was unbelievable to me that such a slum could exist so close to so much wealth and investment as the resort city is known for. But the socialism has killed the town and left them completely at the mercy of tourism and foreign investment. I have felt incredibly sorry for the people of Mexico suffering under the socialism of their nation, and the corruption of their government. Hope is gone from their eyes, and it is truly sad—and that same look is in all eyes of every human being in every socialist country—from the slums of Rio to the shanty towns of the African continent, to the once great streets of Greece. All those places have parents who would sell their daughters to sex slavery to buy a loaf of bread—and that is so incredibly sad. And it is those people that progressives in America want to send to voting booths to keep Democrats in power by redistributing wealth directly to the poor in exchange for a vote. And Republicans are foolishly playing along with the game to their own demise, because they don’t know history and underestimate the radical intentions of the communists within.

And the assault continues. Left leaning revolutionaries are now in the American White House and their military objective is to overwhelm our capitalist system for a socialist regime change and they are using Marxist trained illegal immigrants to topple our economy. It’s not a matter of humanity for those insurgents, they are but pawns in a century long military struggle sharing with the world a philosophy rooted in Karl Marx. The great evil has destroyed many lives, which is obvious the moment one travels south of the American border-anywhere.   And that evil is coming to America—not in the innocent lives used as political pawns, but in what they bring with them. Communism and a love for it.

The Strategic Necessity of Donald Trump: Overcoming Glenn Beck’s opposition

I gave up a long time ago in hoping that there would be people as ethical as I am in public office.  I personally believe that Glenn Beck’s desire for a modern version of George Washington as president is ridiculous, because Washington was too nice for this political climate—he’d be chewed up and spit out quickly only to be lost to history like Calvin Coolidge.  Washington was fortunate enough to have lived at a pinnacle time in American history where valor and faith were considered attributes.  Our present time is much different and I find myself at odds with my friends at The Blaze, where Glenn Beck is not a supporter of Donald Trump for President, and I am becoming more so each day.  I have for a long time believed that successful businessmen needed to be in political office—people who don’t need the money and are proven in their fields of endeavor as opposed to community activists who would have a hard time having a job if they were not directly connected to politics.  Over the weekend, Donald Trump gave a speech to a packed house in Arizona which is seen below in its totality.  It is speeches like this that are winning me over as opposed to politicians like Ted Cruz and Scott Walker.  The current political climate in America is in such a shambles right now that I don’t think anybody but Trump could pull it from the brink because everything is so divisive and fragmented right now.  I support Trump because of speeches like this where he is willing to talk about how stupid our current politicians are and is offering himself as a proven solution in negotiating good deals for America’s position in the world.

I listen to Pat and Stu every single day from 5 pm until 7 pm, on The Blaze Radio Network and I like their opinions very much.  Below Stu breaks down several reasons to be cautious of Donald Trump, which are reasonable arguments—but rather than rehash the position of Glenn Beck at The Blaze, I must offer some tactical information in support of Trump for the sake of strategy that must be considered.  In 2010 Glenn Beck while he was at Fox News begged his audience for a character like Henry Reardon to emerge from the pages of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged–a successful business tycoon who would be willing to stick up for business and capitalism.  Since that time Beck himself has become rather wealthy, largely because of his Fox show, his friendship with Bill O’Reilly, and his personal connections to the billionaire John Huntsman.  The second-hander connections have helped him go from a successful radio personality to a reasonably successful business person.  Beck also had a sickness that threatened his life, so he sought more and more spiritual counsel with religious people like David Barton and is more evangelical now than he was when he first started his work toward dusting off American Excepetionalism.  As a former drug abuser Beck has went as far as he can and now preaches to his audience ways of changing people for the better, which is a similar message that one might expect from church.

That message of daily change for the better is not attractive to me.  I was never involved with drugs, alcohol abuse, cheating with women, political corruption or weakness in spirit in any way.  I have always been a good person strong on my personal beliefs and physically very resolute.  I’ve been that way from my earliest memories to my present time with no gaps in between where I can point to and say, “God, please forgive me—I want to be your humble servant to rectify my past behavior.”  So when Glenn Beck starts talking about that kind of thing I turn him off these days—because he’s going too soft for my liking.   When he tries to answer his past critics over his divisiveness with this present group hug mentality that is more appropriate in a church congregation I hear a broken man who is still the alcoholic from years past still trying to suppress their demons with faith.  The part of Glenn Beck that I always enjoyed was the entrepreneur who loved the novel Atlas Shrugged and the strong business personalities of that wonderful book.  On that we have common ground.  On being a spiritual advisor, I don’t take advice from former drug addicts.  I don’t belittle them for their past conduct.  I give them the ability to live better lives, but I will personally hold it against them as far as spiritual counsel.  I root for them to be better people, but I can’t relate to their quandary.

Donald Trump as I’ve said before is not a perfect person.  He’s been married too many times for me.  He’s not up to my moral standards.  But, he is a strong and proven leader.  Where Beck made his money in a second-hander fashion, Trump made his as a primary—in the context of a Henry Reardon type of character.  I think Trump over the years has worked the system to his advantage and used government to get what he wants because he knows that they are generally very stupid.  I know he has personal friendships with major Hollywood personalities including Oprah, and that doesn’t bother me at all.  I am sick of Republicans and their sissy slapping antics.  I despise Democrats politically—they are fundamentally socialists.  And I don’t like Libertarians, which is what Glenn Beck calls himself these days.  They are way too permissive about drug use for me.  There isn’t a candidate out there who represents me properly, morally, ethically, or spiritually.  I don’t need a leader to show me how to conduct my life because nobody is qualified.

What I do need is for people in our government to know what they are doing.  Our current federal government has screwed up the position of America around the world to such a devastating degree that it will take a very radical shift to right the faults of decades of political ineptness.   The best platform to fix America’s ship right now is in promoting the morality of capitalism over the encroaching socialism that is crushing the world presently under its feet.  And there isn’t a better person available who knows money better or the art of negotiations more dynamically than Donald Trump who is a billionaire fully in control of his own destiny.  I can see having moral discussions about the direction of America with future candidates like Cruz and Walker in 2024, but America must survive that long to get there.  Right now the most pressing issues that there is on the radar is the $18 trillion in debt that America currently has, and how to stop that bleeding before the situation is irreversible.

I personally think Trump stands to double or triple his money if he could return the American economy back to the Reaganomics of the 80s, which is how he made his money to begin with.  Ronald Reagan had a nice run as president selling capitalism until the assassination attempt on his life which caused him to back off his former strength considerably.  He was never the same man after that shooting, and progressives solidified their position for a gradual assault of the American economy as soon as George Bush Sr. was in office by 1988.  That’s why I as a strong conservative worked on behalf of Ross Perot in 1992 against the Republican Party, and why now in 2015 I am siding with Donald Trump.  I want businessmen in the White House who know what they are doing.  I don’t want activists or social appeasers.  I want people who will represent American capitalism stoically to the rest of the world, and who better to do that than an arrogant self-centered man who has made a fortune on his own and has the world eating out of his hand.

I can tell you want I don’t want, I don’t want more Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and Jeb Bush types ruining the Beltway with their addiction to easy money.  I want an American president who is wealthy beyond the reach of a lobbyist, who knows where the bodies are buried, and actually wants to become even wealthier by doing a good job.  And when the leftists in Hollywood want to criticize his wealth, he knows how to handle them—because most of them have worked with him in the past, or want to work for him in the future—and will keep their mouths shut so we can get this done.  There isn’t anybody else out there capable of performing the intellectual task of selling capitalism back to a world in desperate need of it than Donald Trump.  I want him to take his Art of the Deal to the world and get them to buy into it for their own sake, because the other options are simply off the table.  I think Ted Cruz could be a good president, but the establishment will fight him at every turn.  What we need now is someone who knows how to disarm the enemy from behind the scenes and there is right now nobody better than Trump.  When it comes to money and finance, there is nobody better and that’s what we need most.  Faith is fine for everlasting life.  But first we must care for the here and now—and capitalism is needed to maintain a morality that the world is starving for with an opposition poised to destroy it forever blasting humanity back to the stone age of intellectual aptitude.

The End is Here: Last warnings from Porter Stansberry and what you can do to survive

I first wrote about Porter Stansberry when he was on with my friend Doc Thompson way back in 2011.  CLICK HERE to review that article titled The Cannibals of the United States: Sacrifice the RICH!!!   He has accurately predicted many financial crises over the years and it would be useful to hear him on with Doc comparing what we know today with what he said only four years ago now that the extent of the Greek markets are known and how that will directly translate over to the United States.  There is an economic crash on the horizon in America due to the grossly mismanaged government that has delivered us all to this precipice and it’s time to have a reasonable discussion about how to protect your assets during that inevitable destruction which Stansberry has published in America 2020 –  The Survival Blueprint found at the following link.

To make all this information just a bit easier to understand I have edited the pertinent issues Stansberry stated on the linked article:

What we are witnessing in America today is unprecedented.

Our government has embarked on a gross, out-of-control experiment, expanding the money supply 400% in just six years, and more than doubling our national debt since 2006.

It took our nation 216 years to rack up the first $8.5 trillion in debt… then just 8 more years to double that amount.

And this is precisely why so many questions about the economy and our future remain. For example…

Why has there been very little inflation thus far? How will we possibly pay back all this debt?

And of course, perhaps the most important question of all: Why has nothing “bad” happened after our government printed more than $4 trillion new dollars out of thin air and borrowed $9.4 trillion more?

Well, as someone who has been investigating this situation closely for years, who has built a $100 million business by capitalizing on expertise in finance and accounting… I am here to tell you with 100% certainty:

America is in for some major changes to our economy, our country, and our very way of life over the next five years.

 

The way you live, work, travel, retire, invest… everything is going to change. Some of it in ways most people would never expect.

Some time in the next few years, we will experience a “new” crisis of epic proportions.

We’re going to have a major stock market crash – and it will be worse than the one we experienced seven years ago.

We’re going to have a currency crisis too – because investors and governments around the world will realize the U.S. dollar is not the safe haven it once was.

Sooner than most people think, we’ll see the U.S. dollar lose its “reserve currency” status, and this will make it much harder for our government to borrow money, and have our military stationed in more than 150 countries.

We’re going to have massive changes to our retirement system and Social Security. We’re likely to see huge tax increases and even a “wealth tax,” which levies a fee on all your savings and any assets of value.

We’re going to see all kinds of new laws and rules about what you can do with your money, just like House of Representatives bill H.R. 2847, which went into effect July 1, 2014. This law made it extremely difficult, if not possible, for the average American to get some of their money out of U.S. dollars, and into more stable currencies via foreign banks. In the months and years to come we’re going to see more and more of these “capital controls” placed on our personal savings… We’re going to have a massive inflation – when the trillions and trillions of newly printed dollars begin making their way into the economy.

We’ll also witness major changes to the very fabric of our society. Destroying a nations’ money in this manner wrecks businesses, friendships, and families, who simply don’t understand and aren’t prepared for what will happen.

The next phase of this crisis will threaten our very way of life.

The savings of millions will be wiped out. This disaster will change your business and your work. It will dramatically affect your savings accounts, investments, and retirement.

It will change everything about your normal way of life: Where you vacation… where you send your kids or grandkids to school… how and where you shop… the way you protect your family and home.

* Roughly 75% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, with essentially zero savings, according to a recent study by Bankrate.

* The “labor force participation rate” (basically the percentage of able-bodied people who are actually working) has fallen every year since 2007 and is at its lowest level since the 1970s. (Source: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)

* How can things really be “normal” in America, when the number of people on food stamps has basically doubled since Barack Obama took office… and when HALF of all children born today will be on food stamps at some point in their life?

Yes, you read that correctly: Roughly 50% of all children born in America today will be on food stamps at some point in their lifetime. Does that sound “normal” to you?

* Can our country really be back to “normal” when, according to the most recent numbers from the Census Bureau, an incredible 49% of Americans are receiving benefits from at least one government program EVERY SINGLE month?

* Or when 52% of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year?

* Can things really be “normal” in America when at one point, a single U.S. government-controlled agency (the Federal Reserve) was purchasing up to 70% of the bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury – simply by creating money out of thin air?

* Or when the “too-big-to-fail-banks” that got bailed out in 2007 are actually 37% larger than they were back then?

To make matters much worse I’d refer you dear reader to another article I wrote way back in 2011 and listen to the audio clip of Darryl Parks that I have put there for posterity.  The article is called The Harsh Reality of the World Economy: Learn about money and why you may be a looter.  In that article Darryl Parks who used to be a key high level executive for Clear Channel and had access to all types of wonderful fiscal policy minds that normal everyday people don’t have the opportunity to know, revealed some truly mind rattling information.  There are currently roughly 7 billion people on planet earth.   5 billion of those people over 15 years of age. 3 billion of those people are interested in working.  There are only 1.2 billion jobs on the planet.  3 people are going for every one job around the world, and most of those jobs are in the United States—or are directly in service to the economy of America.  For instance, many of the manufacturing jobs in China serve American needs for products, and those needs are fueled by Western wealth.  That wealth was created by the capitalist means of economic growth.  To keep products more affordable, lower cost labor is needed which is why jobs are moving overseas.  The markets around the western portion of the Pacific Rim are being driven still by American necessity even if the direct labor has transferred from one location to another.  To fill that job growth void in the original economy of America, people have grown accustom to debt and duel income households which has run its course to the limit and is set to collapse on itself, ethically, economically, and move beyond its buoyancy.  Once America hits that point, many of those foreign jobs will dry up, and a global collapse well beyond the imagination of the average person will be at hand.  The only reason it hasn’t happened yet is because that buoyancy is being sustained by incredible levels of debt.

Some of that activity is orchestrated by people like George Soros.  He certainly isn’t the only one, but he has helped to topple these global economies in a direction he will profit from both financially and ethically.  The world will lean toward global socialism as a short term attempt to stay floating just a little longer, but governments are terrible at creating jobs, and people like Soros will take their billions and flee to a Caribbean island to live out the rest of their days in comfort and isolation.  The rest of the world will choke.  The real money men who actually create jobs from scratch and not just by moving investments around are the ones who are most needed to increase those jobs numbers. Government can only make jobs with confiscated wealth, and if there is no wealth to tax, those jobs go away too.  So jobs have to be made with real manufacturing of actual goods that the world needs and desires.  A capitalist focus on increasing that 1.2 billion number must come into play, and until it does, many will suffer on planet earth.

So dear reader, we have been together for a long time.  You have read many words here, and the time has come.  If you want to survive, protect your assets by listening to Porter Stansbery.  Only by protecting yourself can you hope to pull the world from the brink at the reset point and be one of those who make the 1.2 billion jobs that actually put people to work.  If the human race is to survive, it needs to expand capitalism to unprecedented levels and not be satisfied with 2 billion created jobs, but perhaps 3 to 5 billion that by default would have to be filled by artificial intelligence because there aren’t enough workers over age 15 to fill the vacancies.  That is a problem we want to have.  But from now until then, you have to survive, and I’d recommend you follow Porter Stansbery to your own salvation.  You might also consider voting for Donald Trump by putting a no-nonsense businessman in a position of government to try to save our present world, and by also getting behind regenerative growth technology to alleviate the future effects of the collapsing Social Security system and the health care industry.

Fireworks and ‘The Anti-Federalist Papers’: Celebrating the ability to flee incompetence

If you’ve ever worked for a complete idiot who believes that people follow titles instead of leadership, then you already know that defiance is sometimes needed in order to do a good job as defined by a sustainably good work ethic.  Government officials are by their very nature prone to incompetence and the belief that it is their titles that people will follow—that if only a majority of the people who elect them can be convinced to cast a vote—that they represent the majority opinion and are thus insulated from competent assessment.  The moment they get a nameplate on their desk they believe that they are so entitled to lead in any direction they wish without having any other qualification.  The military is full of these types of people as is almost every position in government.  However in the private sector where the best and brightest are encouraged to thrive, and to rise up to challenge management through healthy competition it is there where all things truly good emerge.  Very little good can come from a system where incompetent people rule over the good, or that the good are prevented from making things better through their natural inclination by tyrannical power-hungry supervision.  That is why in the United States we celebrate the 4th of July.  It is a holiday of defiance and a reminder that sometimes idiots in charge have to be removed so not to ruin the lives of the good.

Leadership is all about respect, when good people know a better person is in a position to guide them to prosperity.  For instance, people followed George Patton to the ends of the earth because they believed in the man as he was everything he advertised.  Hitler would not have been defeated without Patton in a command position in Europe.  A million pin-headed bureaucrats throughout the world gathered together in a thousand circle-jerk meetings about how to defeat the rising dictator and could not stop him with all the troops around the globe at their disposal.  They had to have Patton to perform the task and break up the Nazi encampments all the way to Berlin.  Patton was effective because people believed in him.  People don’t lay down their lives for titles; they do it for people they respect.  Without that respect, strategic objectives are impossible—except for the occasional shit-shot that just happens to work by happenstance, like a winning lottery ticket.

As my son-in-law and I were buying fireworks for our family 4th of July party I couldn’t help but notice the nature and body language of the people lining up out the door in the middle of a mid-week afternoon in Lawrenceburg, Indiana to buy fireworks. There was defiance in their presence as they were very conscious that they were illegally buying fireworks to take back across state lines to fire off at their homes while law enforcement stood down over the holiday weekend.  Americans won their independence from England with defiance, and the 4th celebrates that defiance.  It is the heart of the entire holiday.  It is a holiday that celebrates rebellion from incompetent over-reaching leadership in the form of a blood inherited throne.  The king of England expected people in the American colonies to remain loyal to his title, and that was simply not the case—it’s not how human beings work.

The settlements involved in westward expansion were about defiance.  The boldest and most ingenious of the new American nation headed west to be free to function from the increasingly bureaucratic east.  Along the way there were conflicts with Indian tribes, all of whom had acquired their land through similar battles with rival tribes who were meeting similar rebels seeking opportunity, and the Americans won by sheer will and cantankerous perseverance.  The new nation flooded with ambitious people fleeing the titles of Europe for at least the opportunity to be their own people—to rule their own lives.  The Indians could not stop that human desire to be rid of incompetent rule—that was the cause of westward expansion—to have the opportunity and freedom to live their own lives, and it built the greatest nation on earth—until America ran out of land and was forced once again to reconcile under the rule of people with titles, who sit behind desks bureaucratically running the lives of people from behind a nameplate bringing the same kind of ineffective stewardship to America as what we fled from in Europe.

Today’s Barack Obama, or Mitch McConnell types could not lead troops in the way that George Patton did, or even Sam Houston in Texas against Santa Anna.  They are not respected and are incapable of real leadership.  They are figureheads of administration and when they overstep their boundaries, they should be removed through elections.  If they work the system in such a way—as they have—to stay in power regardless of public opinion then the Bill of Rights provides ways of preserving the American Constitution by forcible removal which sometimes is an unfortunate option.  That is why we have the Second Amendment—it’s not to hunt rabbits, it’s to remove tyrannical governments from hiding behind nameplates and destroying our freedoms.  The First Amendment is there to warn those knuckle-draggers of the danger to them if they continue to proceed—out of fairness.

Personally I think the American Constitution is way too Hamiltonian—too Federalist for my liking.  My sentiments reside in The Anti-Federalist papers which I always have near me chronicling the Constitutional Convention Debates of 1787-1788.  It is because of those Anti-Federalist Papers that we have a Bill of Rights—and thus the Second Amendment.  It is clearly the plight of the Federalist types who are today’s soft bellied conservatives, progressives, libertarians, and blind patriots who accept with a shade of incompetency an adherence to The Federalist Papers and perhaps some Supreme Court case-law as a means of revision in a “living” document evolving over time by more desk sitting bureaucrats.  Case in point, Justice John Roberts of the present court—I was thinking about him as I watched people buy fireworks at the store my son-in-law and I was at.  The store itself was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week all the way up to the 4th.  Proudly people were spending $300 to $1000 on explosives in large shopping carts to fill their cars with defiance and they had a swagger in their step that they don’t have otherwise.  It was in the notion of defiance that they were most proud and it is there that the 4th of July holiday is best defined.  It was reassuring to them to know that they were defying the law on the 4th, that just because someone like John Roberts stacked the court against the American Constitution recently with damaging case-law that future lawyers would use to make lots of money and further encumber individual freedom in favor of collectivist sentiment—that they had a means of rebellion against incompetency.  I know that the Constitution is only part of the debate.  The Anti-Federalist Papers represent still a large sector of the country that will always insist on defiance and freedom.  All they lack is a leader who will unite them against a tyrannical government.  I happen to know a few of those types of people, and right now we are using the First Amendment to help those name plate bureaucrats know their place.  But at some point, the Second Amendment may be needed to remove the corruption and scum from the K-Street brothels, and Sodom and Gomorra scandals of the Beltway.   Because they don’t know what they are doing, and are not equipped to lead us to a prosperous tomorrow.

The debates in The Anti-Federalist Papers tell the story of a nation reluctant to give control of the nation over to a central authority—because of the tendency of the weak to seek power and refuge behind a nameplate only to become everything that America fought from England only to become again was too tempting.  There comes a time where the people of America must show defiance not just on the 4th of July, but the 5th, and 6th and onward to throw off the poor leadership of the nameplate types and free themelves to the best and brightest among them.  Not the slickest talker or the most manipulative Shakespearian back-stabber.  But the best that their society can produce, the Pattons, the Chennaults, and the Hustons to take the nation back toward The Anti-Federalist Papers arguments thus preserving the American Constitution with a swagger that is distinctly born of a free people.  When you hear the fireworks from millions of American homes, it is The Anti-Federalist Papers that they unconsciously celebrate, and is the heart of what truly keeps us free.

The Wonderful Capitalism of ‘Jurassic World’: Ahhhh, just let it just wash over you………..

I’ve covered a bit about what makes Jurassic World such a good movie.  If you read my article yesterday, CLICK TO REVIEW, you already know I love museums and that the Discovery Center at Universal’s Islands of Adventure is one of my favorite places on earth—because it’s a dinosaur museum.  I love the Field Museum in Chicago, I love the Smithsonian, I love the Indianapolis Natural History Museum—I love the exploratory nature of them—so obviously within the context of an amusement park where a fantasy level museum is the feature—it beholds my interest. I’ve instilled this love in my kids who are now grown up and consider among their greatest achievements trips to the British Museum in London—separately.   They both made trips there and out of all the things they could have done in London as young twenty something’s, they went to the British Museum and spent a lot of time. We all went to see Jurassic World and loved the movie for all the obvious reasons.  But I loved it for more than even those.  I loved it for its open embrace of capitalism—an unfettered love of corporate sponsorship merged with scientific debate, philosophic proposals, and contemporary quandaries.  To get a sense of what I’m talking about have a look at the video below featuring Frank Marshall who is one of the producers of the film.  It was good to see some major Hollywood heavyweights embracing fully the commercial aspects of their movie and then shipping that enthusiasm around the world in the form of a story.  Then read the story at the following link of a guy who watched Jurassic World and immediately left to purchase a new Mercedes putting himself 90K in the hole with money he obviously didn’t have because his mom still pays for his phone bill.  When you combine science and capitalism into a motion picture, you get blistering success—and I hope sincerely that Hollywood learns something by studying Jurassic World.

http://www.funnyordie.com/articles/3c4832008f/i-bought-a-mercedes-benz-after-watching-jurassic-world-and-i-regret-it?_cc=S_d___&_ccid=gwiv0v.nqwoc3

 

imageJurassic World is partly great because it’s like that feeling you get when you arrive at Downtown Disney, or Universal’s City Walk for the first time and are bombarded by all the innovations of capitalism attached directly to human mythologies.  Jurassic World obviously understands that phenomena and embraces it fully—which was a common practice in the 1980s, but has been pushed underground to a large degree by progressive filmmakers who want to pretend they dislike money to appeal to their base, while needing a lot of money to make and release their motion pictures to the world.  Jurassic World doesn’t even pretend not to like it—it embraces capitalism fully with overflowing pride, and that is probably what I like most about it.  Even the billionaire in the film was a good human being, and interesting guy who even though he had all the money in the world was still teaching himself to fly a helicopter for personal growth.

imageSome of the most obvious product placements were of course Coke, Starbucks, Brookstone and Oakley sunglasses, Hilton, Samsung, Verizon Wireless, Jimmy buffet’s Margaretville—among many others.  There is quite a long list.  After the movie my family even went to Dairy Queen where they had a really cool promotion going on with their Jurassic World Blizzard.  It was simply marvelous.  We had spent the day at an amusement park after recently seeing the movie and dined at Dairy Queen exclusively because of its tie-in to the film, and had a really great experience, which is shown in some of the pictures displayed here.  Also shown there is a completely fictional promo video for a new Hilton at the Isla Nubar Resort.  Obviously Isla Nubar is a complete fantasy.  There is no island like that off the Pacific side of Costa Rica.  But the movie did a wonderful job of building a fictional reality to serve as a backstop for all this product placement.  The main area of Jurassic World from the view of the Hilton Hotel reminded me a lot of Cancun complete with all the capitalist investment you can find there in a tropical paradise.  I find myself wanting to visit this specific Hilton and can’t help but hope that Universal Studios in Florida will build all these places for real so I can visit.  I think they’d be crazy not to at this point.  After the Fourth of July weekend of 2015, Jurassic World will be third on the all time money-making list behind Avatar and Titanic—and the film doesn’t open in Japan for another month.  If Hilton actually builds that hotel, I will be the very first person to stay in their T-Rex room. You can bet on that!

imageWhile at the Newport Aquarium again shortly after seeing the movie we strolled into the AMC theaters for a bite to eat and guess what we saw there?  A Jurassic Park Jeep from the original film, also shown in the accompanying pictures.  It brought no small measure of pleasure to me to see it there.  I had only ever saw one within the actual theme park at Universal Studios and at the AMC Theater at Newport on the Levee was one in really good condition.  It was further evidence to me that behind the veil of cynicism that often resides behind virtually every news story is hope that is unleashed behind Jurassic Park and this most recent Jurassic World movie.  I wasn’t the only person excited about the franchise and the products produced by it.  Many others shared that love with me which crosses all political and demographic barriers reaching directly to the heart of a deep human hope for such things to be made into reality.  These movies are not just about dinosaurs, they embody the hope that we find in every museum, or hope to find when we step in for the first time.

imageWhen I stand in the lobby of the Cincinnati Museum Center I love the marriage of science and capitalism.  Just two days of this writing I gladly spent $22 for a couple hamburgers and fries knowing that I was supporting the museum in small little ways with the overpriced lunch.  The food was actually good, but still overpriced, and that’s OK.  Museums need dollars to operate and bring all the great aspects of science to the forefront of thought.  Without money, there is no science—and there would be nothing I’d like to see more than education institutions accepting that their ticket to further funding for projects of interest is through capitalism, not socialism.  There are far more opportunities for environmental research through a company like Exxon as opposed to the socialist resistance of Green Peace.  Sea World is to my mind the closest thing to an actual Jurassic World that there currently is, and people should go and support those wonderful parks.  There was a lot in Jurassic World that reminded me specifically of Sea World.  One of my best memories as a kid was in visiting the Sea World in Aurora, Ohio when there was one located there way back in the 80s, then the one in San Diego.  The money generated through Sea World does more for conservation than a whole city block of protestors in San Francisco.  Science is a forward thinking process whereas just shutting down all capitalist endeavors in hopes of preserving nature goes against the very nature of being a human being.  There is no better format for exploring these issues than the Jurassic Park movies—and Jurassic World embraces better than all the previous three put together the joys of capitalism as it propels science forward with hope, and wonder sprinkled with dire warnings of greed and excess.  It’s not capitalism that kills everyone in Jurassic World, its deception and greed not by the billionaire, but by his employees who scheme behind his back for desires known only to them.  It is within that concept that we see a truth that we recognize as a true paradox in a time where we will have to make similar decisions about our own lives very soon.

imageJurassic World is not just a movie—it is the philosophy of our time, it is Plato’s Republic on a modern stage presenting questions to a hungry movie going public.  But more than just that the movie is a celebration of capitalism and an argument in favor of it as the best option to propel mankind into the future.  I love Dave and Buster’s so much so that we spent my 47 birthday this year at the one near my home.  I love the bright lights, the wonderful food and the imagination of all the interesting games on display there.  I love to play those games, eat that wonderful food while watching 14 different sports events on the multitude of televisions exhibited virtually everywhere you look.  And guess what, there was a Dave and Buster’s in Jurassic World, and I really want to visit it.  It’s time to start embracing our capitalism within our art so that we can have an honest conversation about what we want as human beings.  People have voted with their movie tickets in favor of Jurassic World. It’s time now that the science communities stop pandering to government stiffs for grants and start befriending capitalism to fund their further endeavors.  That is the future of science and the lesson of Jurassic World.  Progressive reviewers and news reporters may cringe at all the product placement within Jurassic World but in so doing they ignore what is truly at the heart of all human beings.  Steven Spielberg has understood that heart for many years, and nobody reaches it better than he does when he wishes.  But its time that others follow the lessons learned from Jurassic World and stop fighting against capitalism when it is the lifeblood of true progress.  Jurassic World is about the hope that progress can bring.  It captures all the reasons we like attending amusement parks and museums—it’s not just for the knowledge of history—but in the potential of making it.

Now, who wants to join me in bringing a T-Rex Café to West Chester Ohio?  You’ve seen the movie, you have seen the popularity.  West Chester has over 100,000 affluent people living within a ten-mile radius and in the middle of all that is some of the best entertainment options outside of a city like New York and Chicago. Those affluent people have lots of kids and grand kids. And it needs a T-Rex Café.  It would make a fortune!  CLICK HERE FOR A REVIEW.

The Cincinnati Tablet: A little known miracle from an ancient past alive and well at the Museum Center

If there is such a place as heaven for me it would be everlasting life in a place like the Cincinnati Museum Center reading a book next to their multiple exhibits.  It is well-known that I have a particular love of culture and obsess over how to implement successful societies based on mythology, recorded history, psychological necessity and how all that gets wrapped into a workable philosophy to achieve objectives.  I spend more time thinking about those kinds of things than anything else—and if I had no other responsibilities in the world I would be most happy putting on a pair of camouflage pants and a t-shirt and going to a different spot of that museum each day and reading from my books—all day–forever.  To be near history and the way those exhibits have been creatively assembled at the Museum Center is a marriage of all my favorite things.  I have a few favorite spots, one is near the T-Rex skull in the Museum of Natural History and Science, the other is the area near the Cincinnati Tablet in the Cincinnati History Museum.image

I have a particular obsession with the Cincinnati Tablet.  It is located in the wing of the History Museum just beyond the WWII area and just ahead of the Native American, Colonial wings on the right side of the hall.  There are complaints from history buffs that the Tablet is tucked away into a remote corner, but it’s quite out in the open and well-lit. The problem with the Tablet is that some believe that it belongs in the section of the Natural History Museum that deals with pre-Columbian society as the Tablet was found in a burial mound at the inception of Cincinnati at the exact spot where Fountain Square resides.  Few realize that when they visit the Fountain they are on the spot of an ancient burial ground that was there long before there was ever a single building erected in the Queen City.  Yet the Cincinnati Tablet is a bit of a mystery. Archaeologists would like to attribute it to the Adena or Hopewell Cultures dated around 500 B. C. to 100 A.D.  Yet it is more reflective of the kind of art found in the Mississippian Culture of 700 A.D. to 1600, just ahead of the arrival of the first European colonists.  But that doesn’t quite tell the whole story.image

The Cincinnati Tablet is nearly identical to a tablet found in Clinton County called the Wilmington Tablet.  Many have looked at these tablets and read into the numerical significance of the design.  They appear to have similar markings as that of Mayan and Aztec Cultures and point to a much more sophisticated pre history of Native American tribes than are normally associated with history.  Human beings like to believe that all life springs forward in a progressive manner meaning that each revolution around the sun that the earth makes, we get smarter and better.  So we often get caught looking back at history as if we were looking at a measuring stick of some kind—we’re here now, so back then we must have been—there.  That type of rationalization.  However, this is not the case.  Just as we are doing today in the modern age with all the tools of thought at our disposal, human kind is regressing.  To sit on the trolley car at the Cincinnati History Museum and listen to the recording of the conductor dropping passengers off at various points from pre 1951 it is increasingly obvious that the human intellect has fallen a long way in just those 50 years.  If such a declination of character continues to slide downward, it is easy to ascertain that human beings in another 200 years will easily be back to the types of hunters and gathering types associated with the Adena Indian.image

There are some extremely complex mathematics associated with the Mound Builders that defy what we know about the Adena and Hopewell people.  In the times of Christopher Columbus there were still some in Europe who believed that the earth was flat and that if one strayed too far to sea that they would fall over the edge.  But it was the Greeks who came up with the concept of a spherical earth dating back to the 6th century.  By the 3rd century B.C. Pythagoras had postulated that the earth was indeed round which was supported by Aristotle.  For proof as to what I said about human society regressing along a Vico Cycle (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW) look at the modern Greek people and their current collapsing economy.  They are only presently a 100 years from becoming simpletons equivalent to the Adena Indians—hunters and gathers struggling each day to feed themselves instead of an advanced culture contemplating whether or not the earth is round through mathematics.  The modern Greek people have nothing in common with their ancient ancestors of just 3000 years ago.  They have declined as a society, not advanced.  Yet, the Mound Builders from the same time period as Pythagoras understood that the earth was round otherwise they could not have predicted equinoxes and solstices or dates on a calendar.  How did they learn that the earth was round if they did not read Greek literature?  Or perhaps the Greeks were only verifying what mythology instructed them—based on ancient stories given to them during their days.image

Another mystery if trade with the Yucatan Peninsula is considered among the Mississippian Cultures of North America is the nearly simultaneous rise of cities like Cahokia outside of St. Louis and Chichen Itza in Mexico.  Their art and cultures appear to be extremely similar, yet nobody knows much about either because there is an assumption that nobody had the ability to travel such a distance to have legitimate trade ability.  We assume that these ancient people were still learning how to travel by canoe until Europeans came along and showed them how to build a boat.  But it is quite obvious if the facts are assembled, that there was great trade and interaction between groups of societies vastly separated, which is something that wasn’t supposed to be the case.  The evidence of all this interconnectivity was likely destroyed when the Spanish attacked the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan built in 1325 and destroyed in 1521.  Modern day Mexico City was built upon its ruins.  Tenochtitlan was built on a vast island with complicated canals intersecting the city.  In fact is was Bernal Diaz del Castillo who said, “When we saw so many cities and villages built in the water and other great towns on dry land we were amazed and said that it was like the enchantments (…) I don’t know how to describe it, seeing things as we did that had never been heard of or seen before, not even dreamed about.”  Sounds a lot to me like the lost city of Atlantis which Plato spoke about only the dates are separated by several thousand years.  The point of course is that what the Spanish encountered was an advanced culture, not a bunch of knuckle-draggers.  So the Spanish did what they always have done, they attacked the city, destroyed the people and imposed Catholic religion on the survivors calling the area New Spain.   By the time Santa Anna was fighting Sam Huston in the Republic of Texas just to the north, the New Spanish Empire was declining and the newly established “Mexican” was left conquered twice within a few centuries of each other by rival clans of European settlers.  The origin culture had been destroyed by the Spanish and all the archaeology erased to history in the name of religion.  As advanced as Tenochtitlan was it was around two hundred years newer than the ancient city of Teotihuacan located just 30 miles to the northwest.  That city has a pyramid on the scale of the Great Pyramid in Giza and by volume as large as the one outside St. Louis, the Monks Mound.  The dates on this epic city of sophistication and mathematics are 100 B.C. to 250 A.D., about the same time period as the Adena Indian over a thousand miles to the north across the Gulf of Mexico and up the Mississippi River, then up the Ohio.  The assumption was that these cultures didn’t communicate, but it looks as if they did—or at least knew of each other.image

As I look at the Cincinnati Tablet I can’t help but wonder if it’s not the remnants of an older culture that left the Ohio Valley well before the Adena Indian during what is called the Archaic Period.  I have covered before the obvious signs of a lost race of people who were large in stature.  The evidence of their lives is obvious in the unexcavated mound at Miamisburg, the burial grounds at Augusta Kentucky and the ancient city that has been buried under modern-day Lexington, Kentucky. CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.  The Adena and Hopewell Indians were similar in culture and intellect to the modern version of the inner city dweller compared to the suburbanite.  The ancient suburbanite doing as humans always do run from their political disputes for destinations uncharted leaving behind the more parasitic aspects of their societies.  In modern times most people living in suburbia are those running from the corrupt politics and high taxes of the large cities, and it looks as if this is what was happening in America well before Columbus found a map in Portugal convincing him that there was a way to circumnavigate the world.  Of course that map was made by the Chinese who had been doing that circumnavigation for centuries—and had been trading with the same people who settled the Ohio Valley who were thus trading with ancient Mesopotamia.  Again, all that assumed history was destroyed by two known events, the destruction of Tenochtitlan and the Library in Alexandria, Egypt, both by the same religion.image

I tend to think that the Cincinnati Tablet was specific to the person it was found under within the mound.  It may have been the tattoo pattern used to identify his people to his region, and when he died, they buried it with him.  The Wilmington Tablet is similar, and was probably specific to the ruler of that area, etc.  But the cultures associated with them are largely unknown, because the limits of science assume that mankind is always moving forward instead of following a Vico cycle of continuous birth and death—always starting over again as a civilization.  Just like inner city dwellers occupy the grand establishments of a creative past, the Adena likely occupied ceremonial sites associated with a culture that left south to form a world of their own without the restrictions of collective association.  I cannot help but wonder as I look at the Cincinnati Tablet if the origin of the Inca, the Maya and the Aztec were not in fact a combination people from Mesopotamia and China who merged in the Americas long before Christ was born and became ancient suburbanites moving constantly south until they ran out of room and were killed by a competing culture doing the same thing for the same reasons—leaving for opportunity elsewhere once civilization destroyed the luster of innovation and adventure in the individual.

I take such lessons into account when I have to build a culture, whether it’s raising a family or building a company.  People desire to be their own explorers and to find for themselves the roots of their desires.  They don’t like to share by nature when the itch of adventure is clawing at them.  But people are quite giving once they achieve their personal objectives.  And that is what the Cincinnati Tablet represents to me, a hint at a past long gone and a window into an issue that is still pressing the minds of mankind.  The Cincinnati Museum Center gave the tablet its own little spot in between two worlds, the known history of WWII and the roots of Cincinnati’s founding as a colonial hub after the Revolutionary War.  Because the Cincinnati Tablet is in and of itself not clearly defined by science, because much of the way to confirm them through logic has been purposely erased by future empire builders—and that is why I consider such places like the Museum Center heaven on earth.  There is truth there only hinted at, but it is more than what you can find anywhere else.  And all that history collides upon the Cincinnati Tablet.

The Greek Economic Collapse: Coming to America with EPA control droughts and refused mining permits to save fish

This is what happens when you attach yourself to the weakest links, whether its business or global markets—what is happening in Greece right now is the result.  Now don’t say you haven’t heard it before dear reader.  Don’t tell me you didn’t hear the show on WLW years ago with Darryl Parks that I put on this very site showing that the financial game was crumbling—that we are all effectively broke even if the bills haven’t quite caught up to us in the United States yet.  Because I’ve been giving the warnings for some time—socialism does not work, strong leadership is absolutely necessary for capitalist endeavors to succeed, and group consensus in either business or politics is worthless—because it weakens leadership instead of strengthening it.  But when all those warnings are ignored and an insistence on socialist/collectivist behavior is promoted—you get Greece.  The United States is not far behind.  Already most of the money paid in taxes goes exclusively to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid leaving money for nearly nothing else.  The United States is the only country on earth with opportunities for economic growth so lenders are still willing to provide low-interest loans, which are consumed daily.  But at some time very soon, that will dry up, interest rates will raise, and at that point billions become trillions and there will be no way out—just like what Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is facing now in Greece, either complete relief of the austerity measures—or Greece will have to leave the European Union.  In essence, Greece must be relieved of its financial burdens otherwise a major block of the Eurozone will be lost with Great Britain soon to follow.  The European Union like all unions is rooted in socialism and allows the bad to hide behind the good and the more bricks that fall out of that union—the fewer places there are for the bad to hide.  Bad in this case is economies too rooted in socialism to make themselves buoyant.

These are the types of people we were told in the United States we needed to be more like.  Obama lectured Americans about the moral veracity of Europe early in his presidency even as Cyprus was the first to visibly fail economically.  Behind that small island in the Mediterranean was of course Greece, which few wanted to acknowledge around the world as a real crisis.  They even had an election where the socialist Alexis Tsipras won power promising no austerity to the Greek people, so they could continue to live under the safety of socialism—the protection of other people’s money.  Now they have capital controls of 60 Euros per day.   There are lines at Greek banks for people to get small amounts of cash that is supposed to belong to them. But because there is no money, everyone has to sacrifice their monetary levity and take what is available.  Tsipras proposed that Greece have a July 5th referendum on how to deal with the financial crises making many very happy at the prospect of Greece defaulting on its debts.  Since 2009 higher taxes and steep government cuts in exchange for bailouts have caused austerity measures that have unemployment at more than 25% on average and 60% among its youth—guess how they vote in elections…………………socialism because they have no opportunity otherwise which was always part of the plan.

Meanwhile in the United States as the nation continues to borrow around $100,000 every second leaving a current public debt of over $18 trillion Obama’s EPA is standing in the way of any further capitalists endeavors—most alarmingly the Pebble Mine in southwestern Alaska.  The EPA with Obama has done everything it can to deny a mining permit because of the largest sockeye salmon run in the world which traverses the area.  The mine is thought to potentially produce $120 billion dollars in new gold, but in just the time it takes the average person to pay their house payment from month to month, all the potential wealth that mine could have created would have been spent on the national debt.  So it’s just a drop in the buckets, yet when even a drop would help, the Obama administration is more committed to the religion of global environmentalism. The dreadful cost of socialism has far-reaching impacts.  For instance the cause of the current California water shortage as explained by Shannon Grove, Republican assemblywoman in Kern County is the EPA that created regulations that is literally dumping water into the sea to save a three-inch fish which resides in the area.  The crisis is completely artificial because the environmentalists have used the EPA as a kind of inquisition where nonbelievers are tortured if they do not believe in the deity of Mother Earth.  But behind the green hate for capitalism are roots that extend into various communist groups that have infiltrated our government for the purpose of halting capitalist activity—all the while increasing spending so that the economy will topple.

Yet nobody has heard much about this California drought, other than they need rain.  It was a completely manufactured crises created by an intrusive EPA without proper priorities dedicated to human innovation.  Capitalism likes the little three-inch fish from California, and the salmon in Alaska—and if left to their own devices will find solutions to have both, the wealth and the food supply, but there is more at work, a hatred of capitalism driven by rooted communism that is using sympathy for earth’s creatures to sabotage the American economy.  The strategy will run dry sooner or later and when that happens America will be faced with the same options as Greece is now, regulated resources, lines to get gas, food, water and most of all—money.  Confiscated assets will be the new word of tomorrow as tax increases and high interest rates will soon follow.  All this will have been caused by excessively reckless spending and intentional sabotage of American assets and potential productive enterprise—all in the name of saving a few fish.

Look hard at Greece—I told you it was coming, and it’s on its way to America.  It will have been caused by progressives for reasons that extend well behind a veil of conservation—directly into the foundations of communism which this country has fought many wars to prevent.  Yet it’s in the United States in our schools, our government, and especially in our EPA.  And it’s crippling our economy one regulation at a time.  Greece didn’t have a choice; their economy was basically some ancient ruins and the sales of gyros to cruise ship tourists.  America’s economic collapse is self-imposed, but intended by the same strategy as the radical Alexis Tsipras—to default on the debt and force social changes under a reset clock.  Those behind the communist push want America at the same level as Greece and the other countries in the Eurozone who will also eventually fall under economic collapse as well.  The restrictions on the economy are strategic to advance progressive political objectives.  In the mean time, Americans will have to do something they are not used to, which they are just beginning to feel in California—restrictions to services to train them how to comply with central authority.  The economic collapses are self-imposed both in the European Union and in the United States and those with their foot on the brakes are those who want global power for the sake of control.  And that is something that nobody on the nightly news is willing to admit to anybody—especially since they have played their part in the debacle.  But I can tell you this—people like me will remember how all his happened and I will be there to remind people what occurred and who was really  at fault.  That I will promise.

A Rainbow Colored White House: Once a nation of leaders–now overrun by second-handers

The White House putting rainbow-colored lights on it during the June 26th Supreme Court ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, or the previous day’s debacle of further sustaining Obamacare by that same court is evidence that the management of the nation is focused on all the wrong things in order to make the world “equal.”  The world will never be equal—because there will always be one thing that will be ignored in that pursuit of equality—and it’s not black or white, rich or poor, or gay and straight issues—it is that the hard-working will always be plucked by the parasites of laziness.  The unimaginative will always wait for those who think to provide direction.  Leaders will always have followers, and those followers will always flock behind the brave.  We call these followers’ second-handers and in the collectivist culture of the present White House they perform in all the classic ways of a typical follower, but they are allowed to believe that they can take equal credit for any successes that might occur.  For the multitudes of second-handers this is good news for them—it makes them feel good, like they are part of problem solving the world.  But they’re not.  As always, and as it will always be, only a few do most of the work and take the responsibility of leadership as the others follow behind.  Those who work hardest in our society will always be discriminated against by the second-handers.  Second-handers are those who live through others—thus their designation.  A leader will survive and flourish with or without a second-hander, but a second-hander cannot survive without a leader.  That is the biggest difference and is the specific reason that capitalist cultures thrive whereas socialist cultures fail.

One of the great challenges of capitalism is in the nature of their corporations, which by their very design are socialist entities, or even raw dictatorships.   The bigger they are, the more they resemble socialist enterprises.  In these companies a ruling elite create a kind of flowchart leadership culture that have a mixture of second-handers and leaders who are all told that they are equal or in subservience to those above them, and they are forced to behave within that framework in order to get a pay check.  This greatly limits the potential of the company because it allows second-handers to rise to the top by default through protection of an organizational chart.  Washington D.C. is filled with these types of second-handers—people who think they are valuable assets to some government enterprise they have worked within for years.  Their merit is not judged by their performances, but by their years of service.  Leaders often become discouraged and either sit on their talents in frustration, or they leave not able or willing to take orders from a second-hander.

Of course second-handers are in the majority throughout the world, and these socialist systems were designed by them to hide their natural timidity.  The primary reason all government departments and most large companies fail to innovate properly or remain competitive in global marketplaces is because the leaders within their organizations stop producing because they do not desire to share their efforts with the second-hander.  Once the leaders stop leading, the second-handers flounder about directionless leaving as their only defense stacks of bureaucracy to buy time until some leader comes along to save them from their own lack of action.  That is in essence what is behind most bureaucratic efforts—a lack of courage trying to hide the nature of the second-hander that designed it for their own protection.

Companies that thrive most are built by leaders.  Those who survive longest find the leaders among their ranks and put them in charge—clearly forcing the second-handers to be driven toward objectives—and success is to be found in such a fashion.  But when leaders are told to provide their benefits to others without merit, and that those others are equal to them, the leaders will just do something else and leave the second-handers to their own devices.  It’s an unnatural relationship that is most exemplified by the current White House.  With their display of the rainbow colors, they have shown the world that they have no idea what makes a country great and the lights are embarrassing.  In this case they are putting an emphasis on gay rights but ignoring the rights of those who work the hardest—and that is a big mistake.

 For instance, Tim Cook is a gay man and is the current CEO of Apple.  Apple as a company is trading at a rate equivalent to a market capitalization of about $1.26 trillion.  When Steve Jobs died, Apple took the best of their leaders and promoted him into the CEO of Apple which was a position personally mentored to Cook by Jobs even as he died.  Cook’s success has nothing to do with him being gay, but that he was competent.  However, without Steve Jobs, Cook would undoubtedly fail, just as it is presently on its decline as a company.  Jobs built the foundation for Apple leaving a CEO like Cook to follow the formula of success, which is why the company continues to have value.  But the innovation that made Apple great today was created yesterday by Jobs, not Cook.  Without another Steve Jobs, Tim Cook will eventually fail and Apple will slide into the depths of mediocrity.  Therefore Tim Cook is a second-hander to Steve Jobs.  Tim Cook could not have created Apple from scratch the way Steve Jobs did.  And without Steve Jobs, the company will collapse on itself as more and more executives take on the tendencies of a second-hander because that’s who is currently in charge.   A failure to understand those relationships leads to eventual destruction 100% of the time.

Colleges are in the business of producing second-handers, not leaders.  That is the reason the leaders of two of the most prominent companies in the world had their leaders both as college drop-outs—Bill Gates from Microsoft, and Steve Jobs from Apple.  Microsoft after Gates retirement as head of the company has held their ground, but their continuous innovation that was seen under their former leader has ground to a stop and their decline is evident.  Apple is not far behind—again because when second-handers are in charge they fail to uphold the ethics of a strong, imaginative leader.  Whether the leader is Lee Iacocca from Chrysler, or Jack Welsh from GE, second-handers study, and study, and attempt to mimic the actions of great leaders, but they always fail.  At best they prevent the decline of an organization with a slow slide into oblivion, but they can never advance it.  For instance, there were many great minds in Europe during World War II.  However, if not for General Patton, would Hitler have been defeated?  No.  It took one unusual general to lead millions of second-handers to victory over a tyrant.  Without that leader Hitler would have won World War II.  A failure to identify the leaders is one of the most detrimental aspects of any culture, and it is terribly embarrassing that the White House in Washington D.C. has displayed their vast ignorance to such a level.

America used to be looked at as a global leader, but with the proclamation that equal rights for second-handers is the primary motivation, instinctively the world knows that America is no longer a Patton of global trade, a Steve Jobs of innovation, or a George Lucas of imagination.  It is a country waiting for somebody else to do something, and while everyone waits they pass silly laws about equality without paying homage to those most important to success—their leaders.  When second-handers are promoted over great leaders the decline of the culture is dreadfully present.  Therefore, equality is never possible.  The vast majority of second-handers might be allowed to feel good about themselves at the expense of their cultural leaders, but when those leaders throw up their arms in frustration and walk away—the second handers have nothing to do but put rainbow lights on the White House and somehow declare it a victory.  Meanwhile the world is laughing at the grotesque priorities of a nation that used to create leaders—who is now more concerned with appeasement as all second-handers do.
