More ‘Tail of the Dragon’ Reviews from Amazon: The communist attack by teachers, critics, and entertainment executives

Over the past couple of days I have received very nice reviews for my latest novel Tail of the Dragon.  It means a lot to me whenever I get these reviews because it indicates that the readers had a good time appraising the book and thought enough of the contents to compliment me.  Many who read my thoughts here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom everyday already have expressed similar sentiments as the referenced reviews.  The difference between what I write on my blog site for free and what I write in my books understandably contains more intensity, more conviction, more action, and much more color.  So for those who think that my daily thoughts are colorful by my blog postings, and add rebellious energy for their lives, when they read one of my books, they quickly learn the scope of my convictions.

Tail of the Dragon is about rebellion, it’s about living honestly even if the result of the honesty makes a person an outlaw in the eyes of politics.  It’s also about romance, and the importance of relationships.  It is a romantic, rebellious, ruckus story that challenges our current legal system in ways that deserve to be analyzed without lenses fashioned through fear.  I appreciate when I receive so many comments about the story citing that they hope it is made into a movie, which I have discussed in other articles.  I have a great love of old Jimmy Stewart films—especially Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It’s a Wonderful Life, and even though Hollywood doesn’t make films like that any more, I am happy that Tail of the Dragon evokes such a reaction from its readers.  But unlike those classic character driven films, I take the action that is expected in a car chase story to an entirely new level that many find shocking—which is the intention.  There are some action sequences in this story that are thoughts that have bounced around in my head for over 40 years.  I have a great love of car jumps, car crashes, and high-speed chases that are integral parts of my character.  They go back to my first toys that I played with as a kid, to the first bicycle I ever had, to my soap box derby racing days all the way up to my own early driving days that paralleled Rick Steven’s own life in many ways.  The results of many years of high-speed driving, several car crashes and many, many, many close calls are found in Tail of the Dragon.  But action by itself is not enough, the characters have to have a reason for their epic rebellion, and they must have heart and soul.  It is a rewarding experience when, as a writer, all these elements can be captured and placed within the context of a story.  But it is even better when readers of the story understand and feel what the characters are going through as can be reflected in the two reviews below reprinted from Amazon.com.

I’ve not finished reading this fun-filled ride on the wild side yet but what I’ve read so far is amazing! The characters seem well-developed and the high-speed car chases are amazingly detailed! I think if I were Rick Stevens GPS I would probably explode!!! I cant wait to see how this rollercoaster concludes!!!!

Awesome Ride.. Can’t Wait for the movie February 11, 2013

By Nathan

Format:Paperback

This was an outstanding book. Once you get started you can’t put it down. And if you do you can’t stop thinking about what is going to happen next. Once the story is set it moves very fast. You can see many comparisons to that state of our nation in the things that happen in this book. Rich has nailed it down in story form. I can picture every moment as if I were there. The setting is familiar to many and promises to give the chills to make the hair stand up on your neck.

There is nothing better than taking on “the system” at a time when it needs taken on more than ever. You can insert any of today’s leaders in politics in the places of the political characters in the book and see why things came to a head like they did, because it is fixing to happen in America in front of our eyes. The message in this book should be a wake up call to stand strong and firm to protect America the way it was founded.

Everyone needs a copy

My publisher has been very supportive, and I appreciate them for it.  But they, especially in the beginning were very concerned that my small government views would isolate half of the book buying public, and in the short run they were right.  However, I believe in what I write and will stand behind the actions of Rick Steven’s in his fictional rebellion against the Federal Government that is the start of the next Civil War in America because the winds are changing, and our society I believe will be very hungry for stories like Tail of the Dragon in that emerging future.  If other publishers and Hollywood in general looks down upon the exploits of Rick Steven’s and his very rambunctious wife in the ultimate car chase that thumbs its nose at every law that politicians have concocted for the human race, in these modern times, rebellion against big government is coming back into fashion, similar to how it was when Star Wars, Smokey and the Bandit and The Blues Brothers came to cinemas in 1970s America.  There is a little of all those films in my most recent novel as I dredged up my day dreams from the third grade of car crashes and polices chases with the mind only a child can produce in great vibrancy.  America embraced rebellion once upon a time against big government and they will again, and the readers who are enjoying Tail of the Dragon now are ahead of the rest, who in the years to come will join the ranks of lovers, rebels, and small government advocates who find themselves enamored by Rick Stevens high-speed exploits with his bikini wearing wife and a 200 MPH classic muscle car that runs off vegetable oil fueled by restaurant garbage.

I said to somebody whom I was speaking with just today that communists attacked America in the late 1950s in a way similar to the way that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.  Communists instead of attacking with bombs, planes and kamikaze pilots attacked American culture with liberal film critics, books, and entertainment executives.  It took about 30 to 40 years for the slow attack to manifest, but it has.  And it might take 30 to 40 years for the slow attack response to swing the world the other way.  For me, Tail of the Dragon is my own run against those opponents and it feels good to strike back, even if it is just words that paint a picture of the nature of freedom in the mind of readers giving them the tools needed to push back against the shroud that has been placed upon America’s head to destroy everything we hold dear and to bring a future that is unfathomably disastrous.  Rick Stevens is my hope for the future of America, and I am proud of the novel’s fans who are inspired by his actions.

Yes, the book is available at Ron’s store shown below where Larry the Cable Guy recently filmed an episode of his television show Only in America for The History Channel.   Click to visit for yourself.

I appreciate deeply all the kind words. Thank you.   Amazon.com has been routinely sold out, but have been very good about restocking it within a few days.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE about Tail of the Dragon.

“So God Made a Liberal”: Why Hollywood leans so far to the policital left

Paul Harvey’s old monologue title, “So God Made a Farmer” brought back to life through a Superbowl advertisement for Dodge Ram pick-up trucks had over 10 million hits on YouTube in less than 5 days, which is quite good.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW the ad and my comments about it.  For a newer generation, it may well have been their first exposure to Paul Harvey, who for many years prior to the 1990’s was a respected figurehead on radio broadcasts all across the country.  Harvey represented the kind of America that I understand in the Midwest, the kind of America that has produced such Hollywood stars like Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Clark Gable, Annie Oakley, Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, Charlie Sheen, and many, many others.  Unfortunately, due to a take over of left leaning ideas Hollywood has forced all those Midwestern stars to suppress their conservative upbringings and embrace liberal causes, which many of them being actors find they can do easily.  CLICK HERE TO SEE WALT DISNEY’S WARNING in 1957 of liberalism in Hollywood.   Once liberals took over the Hollywood studio system which permeates every aspect of the entertainment culture from Las Vegas to Wilshire Blvd, anyone who wanted to be successful in Hollywood, had to learn to sell the benefits of liberalism to the rest of America.  This is why so many stars come out of the Midwest, because they went to Hollywood with a strong work ethic that they learned from Paul Harvey’s America, but they also had to adapt to the liberal views of the coastal states like New York and California who are committed to the causes of secular progressivism.  This mixed up relationship has given rise through Hollywood, commercials, and all forms of entertainment especially in music an off balanced commitment to liberalism.  Hollywood has created the modern liberal heard in the spoof below to Paul Harvey’s broadcast below, titled “So God Made a Liberal.”  Their reasons are rather sadistic and dangerous to all involved bleeding heart and conservative alike and filled with unintended consequences.

Just yesterday I received a very nice email from a person who has just finished my novel Tail of the Dragon saying that they couldn’t wait till it was made into a movie. I wrote back telling them thank you, but not to hold their breath because Hollywood right now would find that book reprehensible to their political beliefs because there is nothing in it that endorses liberalism.  I went on to say that only if filmmakers like Hal Needham, and Albert Ruddy were still allowed to make films in Hollywood would anything like Tail of the Dragon have a chance of being put to film.  The reason is that unlike the above stars who all came from the Cincinnati, Ohio area and ooze Midwestern charm on the silver screen which a majority of America can relate with, when offered a seat at the table in Hollywood a time or two myself well before I started the OW, my conservative viewpoints terrified the very souls of the liberals who control the industry.  I remember vividly a lunch meeting I had with two Hollywood producers at the Katsuya at Americana at the Brand, one of those meetings where they try to figure out if they can work with you politically.  I disqualified myself in about 7 minutes because I intentionally missed all the code words that I was supposed to adhere to regarding the acceptance of liberalism.  By the way, if you’re ever in Los Angeles and looking for a cool place to dine, I highly recommend Katsuya.  Check the link below for more.  It is my hope that the Liberty Way development in Liberty Twp is similar to this very good shopping complex that is just down the road in the same district where many of the television show exterior shots are conducted every day of every year.

http://www.americanaatbrand.com/glendale/dining/dining.php

I found that meeting bizarre.  I was being looked at because of my Midwestern upbringing, but at the same time I was expected to reject that upbringing to the greater cause of “collectivism, and secular progressive” commitment in the all-encompassing umbrella of liberalism.  I would not doubt that many of the actors above would have privately expressed views that reflect their Midwestern conservative upbringing, but in Hollywood, those views are expected to be shelved if that star expects to stay employed.  It all starts with a lunch meeting like the one at Katsuya but after 10 years of such political compromise, and many millions of dollars later, those same actors find themselves wearing t-shirts of Che in public because their groups of filmmaking friends think its funny—and cool.  I didn’t come close to passing the test and was politely driven back to the airport with smiles and handshakes by shoulders that became colder with each mile that LAX grew closer on the odometer.

I am not willing to trade my beliefs for millions of dollars, so it is unlikely that Tail of the Dragon will ever be made into a movie within the next 20 years, because of the Walt Disney warning.  So it should come as no surprise if I reveal here what I have revealed in private to very liberal-minded people in wonderful restaurants like Katsuya over some of the best sushi in The United States—that liberals are some of the most disgusting creatures ever to find the rays of sunlight shining upon their skin.  I have never cared for liberals even though they have a right to exist, as not all people must think alike.  But the trouble with liberals is that they require my money to live.  I on the other hand don’t require anything from liberals.  I don’t want their money, their services, their government, their collectivism—I want nothing from them.  I don’t even want the military that is offered by the Federal government.  For me, the Second Amendment and the other Bill of Rights is all I really want out of government.

Liberals have not been shy, especially in Hollywood of making fun of conservatives—like me—so it is only fair that they get it back in return, especially since conservatives pay for their existence with tax dollars.  Liberals in relation to the kind of people I know in the Midwest—in Paul Harvey’s America, are destructive enterprises of faulty minds.  They are parasites to everything that is good.  They represent virtually everything that is wrong with modern America and the spoof titled “So God Made a Liberal” is sadly all too accurate.  They are embarrassments to the human condition and destructive to every life they come in contact with.  It is amazing that these very same vermin lecture conservative America on righteousness, and justice.  Only such despicable human beings could claim that the same Republican Party that put an end to slavery is against Civil Rights.  Only a pathetic disregard for facts could ever give a liberal moral authority over the conservative and paint the later as evil, when it is actually the former.

Liberals are such terrible creatures that I would not even pretend to be one for all the money in the world—because such a world would lose all value and money would no longer mean anything.  After all, that is what the liberal does; it robs life of all value so that no thing or no person can be judged against those values.  This is why people become liberal, is because they fear judgment against values—because they assume they will come up short on that judgment.  So to protect themselves and their careers, it is safer to pick professions where the bosses also fear judgment—like what the film industry has become under the microscope of thousands of entertainment publications and critics in every newspaper.  Liberalism centered on no judgment is appealing to the weak and malicious because their acts of destruction can proceed without risk to their personal integrity, because integrity has been minimized by the concept of liberalism.

If God made a liberal on the 9th day as the video above suggests, he did it to bring Armageddon to the Earth and to create the End of Days.  A liberal does not bring productivity to a business or justice to the wronged—a liberal only creates chaos, menace, and terror by way of social values stripped away until they mean nothing.  As funny as the video might be in a metaphorical way, I cannot say that the humor is excessive by way of exaggeration, but funny because it’s true.  If Paul Harvey’s monologue expressed the values of the Midwest from years ago, this new rendition called “So God Made a Liberal” expresses the sad hopes of a couple of Hollywood producers in Katsuya who were more concerned about recruiting people to work with who shared their views of no value than a conservative voice that middle America is hungry to hear.  Or people raised in those sacred lands who quickly reject their values in trade for work like a common prostitute will declare their love for anyone who pays them the proper sum for their love-making.  The liberal is a degenerate species of human kind that produces only destruction and malice.  Liberals are good for only undoing the creations of the conservative, the representation of good, of justice, and of honor.

For me, I’ll stick with Paul Harvey and his vision of conservative America, because it is only there that growth for the human race can take place.  There is no dollar amount that could sway my opinion on the matter.  As I told the letter writer honoring my latest novel, yes, I think Tail of the Dragon would make a cool movie, but it’s unlikely for that to ever happen.   It’s not because the story is wrong for the silver screen, but rather because it does not fit within the confines of liberalism—which is quite intentional.  The story is about values and fighting to protect those values, and there is no writer in Hollywood who could remove that core tenet from the context without destroying what the novel is about.  Liberalism will stop at no limit to destroy a threat to its existence, and in the case of conservatives, it is more important to destroy or convert conservatives away from their Midwest roots so that liberals can monopolize bad behavior to the extent that they can then call them good—and people will finally believe it.  Liberals seek to turn conservatives into their kind with the same kind of domination that a pot-head drug user intends when they purchase a killer snake to display in their living rooms.  The pot-head wishes to show the world that they are in control of such a killer as they scoop up the big snake and put it in a glass display to be confined there so long as the pot-head feeds the snake rats and mice enough to stay fat, dumb, and happy.  So too has Hollywood done to the stars of the Midwest, fed them plenty till those free-thinking humans ate from liberal hands and proved to the world that the liberal can control the majesty of the conservative with the promise of easy food, and some damn good sushi at Katsuya.

Watch closely, and very carefully…………………………………………………………….God made a liberal so that people like the guy below wouldn’t have to feel guilty about all the bad decisions they made in their life…………………as a direct result of…………………….liberalism.  Which came first–the chicken or the egg………………the loser or the liberal?

The Great Star Wars Director Dave Filoni: Thoughts about Clone Wars Season Five and beyond

One of the only television shows that my wife and I watch on a regular basis is Star Wars: Clone Wars that broadcasts each Saturday morning on the Cartoon Network.  For science fiction based cartoons, I find them deeply entertaining, and exceptionally dramatic.  They are also quite intelligent, and gorgeous to look at as separate pieces of art.  I enjoy the sights, sounds and morality displayed within the Star Wars universe, particularly The Clone Wars animated series.  I love them all, but recently after a particularly powerful episode in the middle of Season 5 director Dave Filoni proved that he’s not afraid to display his skills and episode leadership into an epic direction that I don’t think has ever been done for a show directed at children.  They didn’t make cartoons like this when I was a kid, that’s for sure.  After the February 2, 2013 episode arrived at 9:30 AM, which I displayed the press release sent from Lucasfilm, (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW) Dave and the cast and crew had a Google Hangout meeting where fans of the show could chime in and learn more about what is in store for the rest of Season 5 and Star Wars in general.  You can see that hour long meeting in full at the video below.


The episode they spent so much time talking about in the Google Meeting is called The Lawless.  It was quite spectacular.  It’s hard to believe that Dave and his crew was able to cover such a large expanse of story in just over 20 minutes, but the results are exceptional by any standard of cinema endeavor.  I hope Star Wars: Clone Wars sticks around for a while, because after 5 years of broadcasting, they are every bit as good if not better than when they first aired in the late summer of 2008 with the feature film of the same name.  Dave Filoni is a wonderful Star Wars director that in the context of history will give J.J. Abrams a run for his money in the magic and lore that has become the Star Wars Mythology.  I am looking forward to many more future episodes so I can watch them with my grandson and introduce him to such a vast wilderness of ideas that is Star Wars in a morality play that is unequaled in the history of the world.

The Next Great War: Why America has so many guns–and it needs them

I’m waiting patiently for the revolution to start.  When it happens if I’m the only one fighting, that’s fine—but somehow I think that won’t be the case.  Once other people see one or two people resisting the encroachment of perpetual statism happening in The United States as of 2013, they will join like others have in the past during the American Revolution and the Civil War.  Whatever we call this next war within America, I will be one of the first to respond to the force that is sure to be applied and I can’t wait.  I love history and we are living history.  Now—before I elaborate, look at this next video and study the foolish position of the presented actors when the editor took the comments they made favoring more gun control and compared them to the kinds of films those same actors have made which feature gun violence.  The hypocrisy is obvious, but is done in this video with a comic flare that should be noted. 

 

 

Actors are paid to say whatever appears in their scripts.  If the script says to commit violence, they act it out for the cameras.  If it tells them to get naked and have sex with perfect strangers in front of a crew of 50 or more people—they do it.  And if the script tells them to come out against gun violence in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, they do it.  (Sandy Hook was a false flag by the way.  End of story—CLICK HERE for more.) So the opinions of these actors mean nothing—they are not leaders, or spokesmen for America.   They are actors who don’t have thoughts of their own.  They are like parrots; they repeat what they are told to say when they are told to say it.  I can affirm that from first hand experience.  Actors are not bad people, but they are not great thinkers or philosophers either—and are unqualified to give any opinions of worth.   They are paid well to fill a role and to not question that role. 

 

Guns are one of the biggest parts of American culture and that isn’t going to change.  The reason that the movies those actors play in feature so many guns is because Americans love guns.  Americans like to see guns shooting.  They like knowing they have them in their bedrooms.  They like plot lines that have guns in them, and Hollywood knows it—which is why they make movies that feature gun violence.  If Hollywood tried to change that trend, they would loose billions of dollars at the box office—so taking violence out of movies will not happen.  People are not going to pay $15 dollars a ticket to watch people talk about their problems.  They want to see stuff blow up, and they want to see heroes save the day with guns. 

 

Hollywood doesn’t really believe half the garbage that they advocate through donations to the Democratic Party, but they feed money to those statism monsters to keep the idiots from passing laws that will hurt Hollywood’s ability to make money.  Hollywood simply pays the troll by sending their actors out to give public messages making the statism advocates happy—which is why those mindless actors came out against gun violence, while they make their livings advocating it.  The message is just as hypocritical as a pornography actress coming out publicly in favor of sex only after marriage in a strictly monogamous relationship.  Her words are worthless because of what she does for a living. 

 

Guns are a fact in America and the enemies of American sovereignty are the ones who want disarmament for the same reason that it has always occurred—a potential for invasion and the capture of national resources.  There are enemies who want to control America both foreign and domestic and you can tell who they are because they advocate removal of guns from our society. For them it’s a tactical maneuver not a moral one.  For the global statism power grabbers using the United Nations as their personal army behind a façade of peace, they have no hope of pulling The United States into the global fold of power so long as private citizens have so many guns.  There is not a utopian desire for global peace by these people.  It hasn’t happened in over 100,000 of human development and it won’t leave the mind of man in the next 100,000 years no matter how pompous the progressive academics wish to believe such a thing possible.  The way to curb violence is with more guns, not less because the threats to our nation are not outwardly obvious, but instead devious. 

 

Just to put things in perspective as to why America is being targeted from across the two big ponds is that a potential invader of American resources must not only defeat the American military, but the American people also.  For instance if you took just registered deer hunters in the state of Wisconsin and assumed that each of them possessed only one gun each, their number alone would exceed the guns possessed in Iran, France and Germany combined.  That is a lot of guns, and it makes it very difficult for a military general to plan any sort of military maneuver against America.  There are enough guns in just one state to hold off an entire army from those three countries.  But states like Michigan and Pennsylvania outnumber Wisconsin in registered deer hunters.  There are enough guns in just those three states to hold off an invasion from all of Europe making a direct attack against America impossible.  So they are forced to attack America indirectly—through The United Nations with regulation, taxation, and treaties. Yet even with all the guns in Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania a murder with guns is very rare in the Midwest.  It is only in the big cities like Detroit, Philadelphia and Green Bay where statism is strongest that gun violence is worst.  There are a lot of homes in my Ohio neighborhood with guns and nobody shoots each other when we get angry. 

 

I know for a fact that guns make a peaceful difference because I’ve seen it first hand many times over. I once took a bet to walk from Central Parkway to the University of Cincinnati up Vine Street back when it was one of the most violent areas in the city.  I walked the whole distance past drug dealers, hookers, pimps, and various thugs without a single act of violence against me.  I did the same in downtown Washington D.C.  I walked five blocks down K-Street at 3 A.M. then up four blocks to the north.  Along the way I passed one car that had been overturned and was on fire from violence that had occurred just 20 minutes before I passed by.  No police or fire fighters came until dawn when the thugs went to bed and the politicians traded positions on those same streets.  Not a single incident happened to me—because all the goons, the punks, and creeps who roamed the streets at night looking for a victim thought I was armed.  I wasn’t armed with a gun—because if I did get into trouble, I didn’t want the added complication.  But thugs know by the look in your eye that you are armed, whether it is with a firearm, or the internal knowledge that you can handle yourself in any situation.  That assurance is the key to personal and national freedom.  Americans know deep in their hearts that they outnumber the entire army of North Korea, Japan, China, Germany, Russia, England, France Australia or the entire continent of Africa, so they don’t worry about an attack from any of those countries.  The reason we can all travel to the mall and buy goods without worrying about a terrorist bombing routinely is because we have guns.  The reason that many companies wish to do business in America in spite of the extraordinarily high taxes is because we have a stable political climate because guns force everyone to keep on the up and up.  Guns keep our own military in line—making sure they stay on the side of the tax payers instead of aligning with statist power grabbers.  It is because of the gun that we are safe in America from all enemies.  Not just made up propaganda targets.

 

The domestic enemies in America are those who advocate gun control, because it is those people who wish to alter the American Constitution, and wish to disarm The United States to fulfill the wishes within The United Nations of global disarmament, and I consider that type of rhetoric to be an attack on my sovereignty within my nation.  Those power grabbing people will not go away—they will continue to encroach themselves upon our American lifestyle using every tragedy as a platform for their message of war through peace.  That’s what is behind the Hollywood message for gun control.  That is what is behind the entire gun control argument and those who cannot see such deplorable acts are naive—and sorry to say—stupid.   

 

When war happens, I will be there to fight for The Constitution specifically The Second Amendment—because they are coming after our guns.  They will use the IRS, the ATF, Homeland Security, local law enforcement, TSA, the FBI, the CIA, the National Guard to come after those of us who stand against statism.  The only thing that keeps war from breaking out right now is the knowledge that we all have guns.  We sit on the knowledge that we can defend ourselves should the unthinkable happen.  If gun laws are created that buys these guns back, or confiscates them entirely, that security will go away, and that is when the next war will erupt.  And when it does, I’m ready and looking forward to meeting many of you in person.  The country does not rest on the shoulders of some politician in Washington, or some 23 year-old girl who will take her top off for millions of people then lecture us about how we should support more gun control.  Our freedoms rest behind the barrel of a gun and are only as strong as the number of them that are in houses all across the nation.  When guns are threatened by domestic enemies, that is the start of the next war within the states.  The first fire of that war will be when authorities try to take those guns and learn the tragic result of that arrogant miscalculation. 

I’m with you Ted. It might be you me, and a handful of people, but it will be enough.

How Much OEA Leadership Makes: The Fate of Public Education at the Oxford Tea Party

I’d like to thank the Oxford Tea Party for inviting me out to speak to them at their December 19th, 2012 meeting.  During my hour-long speech I gave them a summary of my experiences fighting the Lakota school levies over the years and my assessment of the state of public education today.  Regretfully I had to end my summation with the declaration that the Tea Party will never be popular and that it was their task to combat the many faces of evil which present themselves through political discourse.  I had hoped to avoid such a summary as left leaning extremists have made such terminology out-of-fashion, but there is no other explanation for groups of people who actively seek to exploit children.  It is clearly the exploitation of children that is going on in great abundance, and it is getting worse with each year that passes.  Politicians use children for political leverage, and greedy teacher unions use children to negotiate extraordinary salaries for themselves.  Under any definition such open exploitation is essentially evil even though such acts of manipulation are presented with smiling faces and doctorial degrees.  As I gave my speech, I was aware that members of the Talawanda school board and administration where present, so I tried to include them in the discussion with a level of understanding—and some sympathy.  But closing our eyes to evil does not make it go away and unfortunately, many people who work in and around education openly participate in the spread of evil from the corrupt hearts and minds of adults onto the innocent minds of our nations next generation.  You can see my complete speech here:

For context to my claims I present the evidence shown below from Media Trackers which provides the salaries of the Ohio Education Association members by their appropriate pecking order. The OEA is the large teacher union that is so active in progressive politics in Ohio.  Patricia Brooks for instance makes more money than Governor Kasich who only earns a bit over $140K per year.  This provokes the question as to–why?  Is the work that Patricia is doing along with her army of assistants that important?  Is it more important than the work of a state governor?  Is the president of the OEA more important than the governor of the state that the OEA functions within?  It would appear so if wages are the measure of worth—which they usually are.  $$

The only purpose of these employees is to strengthen the cause of a labor union that is committed to progressive politics.  These agents of the OEA are in my opinion sinister because they support progressive social platforms such as the destruction of the America family, the destruction of private property fulfilling global communist hopes, an erosion of self-reliance in children, revisionist history, ineffective education making the American population unequipped to properly think, and they do it at the expense of immature panic driven parents and their vulnerable children.  The names above are committed to maintaining an education monopoly over children and their parents that only succeeds in driving up labor costs purposely by destroying competition and guaranteeing that higher quality education can never emerge.  As I said in my speech, comparing the differences between Costco and Wal-Mart, there are no such competitive alternatives in public education.  Parents have no choice but the one controlled by a progressive labor union.  They have no choice but to give their money to progressive educators who will then pay their union dues to the people mentioned above, who will then funnel money to politicians who will further advance progressive—collectivist politics that directly attack the American Constitution.

I also stated in my speech how such evil can be conducted by good people who wish to believe that they are doing the right thing.  Many of the individual players in public education truly do have their hearts in the right place.  They sincerely want to help children, and want to make the world a better one.  But their fundamental thinking is flawed, making them carriers for evil—evil being anything that imposes itself on the individual sovereignty of other human beings.  Such an imposition is the forced participation in progressive activity.  For instance, property owners have no choice but to pay their taxes even if they think the schools are teaching children the wrong values, or are supporting politicians that are destructive to traditional American viewpoints.  Property owners are forced by government force to participate in this corrupt education system whether they agree with it or not under coercion and the rules were written by the kind of people who are on the above list.  Those members of the OEA are paid more than the governor of Ohio because the money is a bounty to keep their consciousness clean, and their loyalty secure to a cause that is not on the side of justice.  They are paid well to be blind to their actions, and live their lives as instruments of tyranny, coercion, ignorance, and of gradual national erosion of self-reliant identity.

As I said at the end of my speech to the noticeable huffing and puffing of the Talawanda administrators that public education as it stands today is finished.  It must be replaced with a more competitive national model such as School Choice, or other private instruction that will drive down educations costs, and increase the productivity making education better for the kids who need it.  The barrier to any proposed improvements in education are the names listed above, and the total of what all those names make from union dues paid by teachers from taxes collected from the property owners is $4,250,702.00.  Every Ohio property owner must contribute to those names whether or not they want to, or agree with the progressive viewpoints that those people represent.  That coercion is evil and the way those names use children to advocate their massive salaries are legalized theft—theft created through lobby power of weak-willed politicians.  Public education is built by a society of thieves who would otherwise rival the pirates who once plundered the Caribbean.  They are not good people who want to do well for America, Ohio, or the families who pay the taxes.  They want only to plunder the loot collected through taxation to provide extraordinary wages for themselves at the expense of the productive.

My feelings about public education deteriorated when I saw that my home district of Lakota had no desire to balance their budget the correct way, but instead after three elections chose to ignore the results with more intensified radical behavior.  When the levy supporters came after me personally for pointing out their faults, I saw the work of the names listed above, and I decided I wanted no part in their actions.  READ MY OPINION HERE.  That was my line in the sand and my abandoned of recognizing public education run by the government as a future consideration for teaching Americas youth.  Yet those who demand my participation in a government program I do not support, are conducting upon me an evil that is backed by coercion and force destined to be resolved in violent conflict.  And that action is not initiated by me, but by those who wish to impose their will upon others in order to supply the kind of wages for do-nothing occupational positions such as those of the OEA.

As usual, it is always wonderful to speak with people of similar belief, even if the words they use to describe those beliefs are less harsh.  I am no longer interested in negotiating with people from the other side, so my concern for their feelings is no longer a consideration.  But my visit to the Oxford Tea Party was wonderful.  They were a very nice group that are full of piss and vinegar and a hope that the future will be brighter than the vile darkness cast from the shadows by the typical progressive of present company.

A Teacher Quits to Save Face: Lakota still doesn’t respect the voters

Not all teachers are communist loving despots’ intent on traditional American destruction.  Second grade teacher Stephen Round, fed up with being forced to teach students values he does not share resigned from his $70,000 job with benefits to keep his integrity intact.  The teacher tried to read his resignation during a recent committee meeting but was denied the opportunity, so he took his message to YouTube.  Have a listen.

Here is more on the teacher and his motives:

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/second-grade-teacher-sick-and-tired-of-one-size-fits-all-curriculum-quits-job-in-epic-youtube-resignation/

His arguments are largely my arguments and I have been expressing them for several years now at my home district of Lakota where the same kind of progressive parasites have been hard at work in perpetuating far left-winged political viewpoints.  The teachers of my community behind the mask of a crazed teacher union have proven intent on the destruction of private property through excessive taxation no matter what the voters of my district have declared.  For three elections over two years more than 18,000 voters have turned down the radical tax increases attempted by that public school that is trying to maintain teacher wages averaging over $63K per year.  Progressive politics have infected the administrators and they have ignored the wishes of the voters by committing $40K of tax payer money to push a progressive Saul Alinsky type program called “Community Conversations” trying to twist the arm of voters into supporting a future school levy as the new 2014 teachers contact expires in June of that same year.

When Barack Obama recently won the election with 51% of the vote compared to the 49% that voted for Mitt Romney, progressives saw that election as a mandate dictating that everyone in the country should suddenly follow the will of the majority and surrender their conservative ideas in favor of the far-left radicals and their high tax grabs intent on re-distribution programs.  But when progressives are asked to show the same respect they do like Lakota did and completely ignored the vote tallies of the previous three levy failures where residents said no to further taxes by a margin of 53% to 47%–a much larger margin of victory than Obama won the White House with.  This is standard practice for progressives, who are extremely destructive, and short-sighted in their public conduct.  Lakota not only ignored the election, they spent nearly a quarter million dollars on public relations over a two-year period to twist the arm of the community into accepting a tax increase with a program called Community Conversations, CLICK HERE TO READ ALL ABOUT IT. 

I am fully aware of the intent of the Community Conversations campaign being performed in the Lakota school district which a series a meetings that district officials have with members of the community to find out what they want the school district to do with the money spent on education through taxes.  Some of my fellow tax fighters have actually hosted some of these meetings so I know for a fact that on more than one occasion it has been suggested that employees at Lakota take a 5% pay cut so they can fit into the budget that the community is supplying without tax increases.  However, when Superintendent Karen Mantia, or as the Pulse Journal spelled her name (Karen Mantian) reported to the community what she had accomplished in an entire business quarter from September to December of 2012 with $40,000 tax payer dollars paid to progressive activist Jeffery Stec, she made no reference to such suggestions.  Instead she reported essentially the same information that she had stated during the levy attempt of 2011.  Ignoring completely the suggestions that many have made to her personally to cut their employee wages to avoid tax increases, Mantia instead stated in her pre-Christmas report to the Pulse Journal in the A4 section published on December 13th 2012 that the community is demanding 5 five major themes:

  1. That residents want Lakota to offer a well-rounded education, one that includes life skills, character education, citizenship and a spirit of giving back. (Altruism)
  2. People understand the need for assessments and accountability but they want schools to go beyond the test, and teach communication skills, problem-solving, critical thinking and collaboration.  (collectivism)
  3. There’s a recognition that every child is different and schools need to be innovative to provide an education that isn’t one-size-fits-all.
  4. That children need a real-world education and a way that lets them experiment and sometimes fail.
  5. Also, that the roles of schools, parents and the community should be better defined so that they can all become better partners in education.  (collectivism again.)

Mantia went on to discuss how citizens involved in these Community Conversations are critical to helping craft a 21st-century education and went on to preach how important listening is.  Ironic that she would make such a statement as she still has not listened to what 18,000 voters told her in the last election.  They have chosen to ignore what voters have said and instead regurgitated the campaign points from the last school levy attempt using the same progressive social engineering talking points.  What Lakota did with all the money they have spent on Jeffery Stec and his progressive Community Conversations is to create a lot of hype, in order to disguise their intention to continue advancing a political agenda that is at the core of all public schools—out of control budgets that are sold on the backs of children and their busy parents.

Virtually every public school in America is dealing with the same kind of arrogance, and blind foolishness that Lakota in Southern Ohio is facing, and it is good to see that some teachers like Stephen Round are refusing to participate.  It takes a lot of guts to give up an inflated job like Stephen’s teaching job was in order to stand for something—instead of being a pawn like Mantia from Lakota is in advocating the reckless spending of thousands upon thousands of tax dollars in order to advance the same tired progressive diatribes that education under the control of organized labor and socialist advocates have been spewing for decades.  There is something to be admired when teachers stand up for themselves as all those around them continue as spineless cogs in a machine that is more sinister than most people are willing to consider, and functions at best as a dualistic entity that preaches to do as they say, not as they do.  What’s good for the goose, is not good for the gander if the goose is a progressive and all public schools are full of them.  The only way to gain independence from them is to leave—as Stephen Round boldly declared.  Good for him!

‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ an unexpected TRIUMPH

I have been writing about The Hobbit movie and its December release for over a year now and I have been very excited for its long-awaited arrival in theaters.  My wife and I took my large family and some of their friends to see it during a prime time showing over the weekend, and before I get into any kind of review I need to provide some context.  Our society is changing rapidly, and not all of it is bad.  When religion was very strong in our society, it taught young and old alike about the nature of good and evil—which I spend a lot of time writing and thinking about.  But in 2012 in a quest that really started in 1977 with the first Star Wars film, it is clear that mythological values in our society has moved from books into many other visual formats that explore more deeply than ever the nature of evil, and the necessity of good.  I did not expect The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey to be over-the-top excellent.  I just expected it to be good and an enjoyable tribute to stories I have loved my entire lifetime.  As stated in previous articles here at the OW I have allowed myself to enjoy on many nights the words of J.R.R. Tokens’ many works by candlelight, or on a backyard porch under swift moving nighttime clouds next to a lantern.  So I have a passion already present for the material offered in The Hobbit.  Aside from that, I also followed closely the development of the film through the legal hurdles it had to pass in order to arrive in theaters under Peter Jackson’s direction, which for a long time I never thought would happen—because of the stunning success of The Lord of the Rings trilogy a decade ago.  So it was with some pent-up reverence that I took my family to the movies on December 15, 2012 and let me declare that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is an unexpected delight.  The Hobbit as a film is jaw-dropping great and filled to the absolute brim with passion, rich storytelling, and a fully flushed out journey into Middle-Earth that will change the lives of many people who see it for the better.  It is a stunningly fantastic movie—a cut from the tapestry of cinema that will set new heights of expectation from audiences permanently.  I did not think it was possible to make a movie version of The Hobbit that exceeded, or even matched the effort of Lord of the Rings—but Peter Jackson has been successful in that daunting task and then some.

The Hobbit is essentially a treasure hunt that is triggered when a dragon pushes a society of dwarves from their home in the Lonely Mountain.  Bilbo Baggins is recruited as a burglar/thief to penetrate the mountain and help remove the terrible dragon Smoug who is now residing there bathing his massive body in mountains of gold stolen from the dwarves.  I will admit that reviewers did discourage me a bit when they reported that Warner Brothers had pushed Jackson into stretching the 300-page book of The Hobbit which is a kid’s book into three—three hour films, and that the first half of An Unexpected Journey was boring.  For such reviewers, I can only say that they have become spoiled brats, and the action of The Hobbit was very intense at the end making the rather story driven beginning seem like a very different movie.  But the beauty is that Jackson was able to make The Hobbit into a better story then the actual book was—which is almost never the case—without violating the literary material of Tolkien at all.    Only under Peter Jackson’s direction could this have been done with such a close association with Lord of the Rings as The Hobbit takes place 60 years before the Rings films.  The beginning is only boring compared to a very intense ending—more intense than any movie I can remember seeing—and I’ve seen most of them.

For me personally, I found the deep secrets and constant references to an evil that is slowly seething up into Middle-Earth to be fascinating in reference to the events of Lord of the Rings.  The Hobbit takes the time to show how the seeds of evil are actually planted and how slowly over time they can emerge right under the noses of some of the wisest minds.  In The Hobbit it is the wizard Gandalf who looks like a crazed fool in comparison to his mentor Sauruman the White Wizard, Elrond the Lord of Rivendell, and Galadriel co-ruler of Lothlórien.  Gandalf in a scene that was one of my favorites attempts to tell these leaders of Middle-Earth of his devious plot to rid the Lonely Mountain of the dragon, but also to combat a seething evil that is emerging slowly in the cracks of society.  It was my favorite scene in the film because I feel a lot like Gandalf in real life uttering the same kinds of warnings, schemes and mechanisms that I have involved myself in only to have a White Wizard type politician declare—“show me the proof of these allegations.”  Evil does not grow within the honesty of critical assessment, and nobody but Gandalf and Galadriel can even remotely see it.  Of course, we know that Gandalf was right and that 60 years later that evil will have arrived fully in Middle-Earth in the events of Lord of the Rings.  In An Unexpected Journey Gandalf sees the evil before everyone else, and must face that realization alone—which is realistically, often the case.

In many ways Peter Jackson has done with The Hobbit what George Lucas did with the prequels of Star Wars and that is to pull back wide on Middle-Earth to tell of the events that led up to the Academy Award winning movies that were previously done.  But Jackson has not violated the original Tolkien material to perform the task, he’s only added to it with previously unrelated Tolkien material about Middle-Earth which led to controversy with some critics.  Usually in novel translations things get left out of a movie version of a great book.  It is not often—if ever that things that were not specifically in the source novel find their way into the film version without deviating away from the source, but following it sincerely.  This is what Jackson has done, and he did an absolutely marvelous job of it.  Literally breath-taking in just how spectacular of a job he did—if viewers thought that Middle-Earth had been adequately flushed out in the Lord of the Rings films, The Hobbit will prove that there is much more to explore, and it is an exciting adventure all its own.

I am an old fan of these types of stories, and it is hard to impress me.  But—The Hobbit impressed me in every category, music, visual effects, character development, mythological significance, plot validation; The Hobbit is successful in every single category of filmmaking splendor.  And the characters go through one cliffhanger after another in some of the most astonishing conflicts that have ever taken place between characters on a movie screen.  There is nothing like The Hobbit that has ever been done in any film to date.  Many of the sequences step up and over Lord of the Rings in sheer brutality, and cinematic effectiveness.  If the Academy Awards snub this film because of internal Hollywood politics, it will be a shame—because The Unexpected Journey deserves the same kind of respect that Return of the King garnered.  This first Hobbit film is simply that good.

I could write on about this movie for thousands of pages, and still not get out everything I want to say—so do yourself a favor and go see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.   As Gandalf tells Bilbo in the film, “if you take this adventure you will never be the same again”—so to, will audience members never be quiet the same after seeing the first movie of a three-part Hobbit series.  I am riveted now waiting for the second addition to this excellent film series titled The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug which will be entirely about the slaying of the terrible dragon that is guarding the gold in the Lonely Mountain.  In the meantime, I think my wife and I will go see The Unexpected Journey about 19,000 more times.  Enjoy!

More Proof Obama’s White House is Red: Communists in American Government

Jeffrey Immelt–Obama’s jobs council head and the CEO of General Electric proved that he is a far inferior replacement to his protégé Jack Welsh when he said about China’s economic power that one thing “actually works” in governance and that is “state-run Communism” in China.  Such comments show a lack of worldly understanding about demographic tendencies between people in the East versus the West, and a lack of understanding about what makes China work as an economy—and how dependent they actually are on The United States economy, and technology developed under capitalism. China has been good at stealing Western technology through an intense spy network, and forcing their workers to do things that would be unheard of in The United States, and these are the sources of their modern-day success, not a superior political philosophy.  For more about the conditions of China from the standpoint of a citizens living under communism in that country refer to a previous article I have written by CLICKING HERE.

CEOs and political pundits often don’t understand how facts are strung together behind the scenes; they tend only to look only at bottom-line results, or just a small piece of the overall picture.  They look at China and see over 1 billion people who are outpacing the GDP of America but they don’t see the crash course that China is on culturally.  Communist China would easily be in jeopardy if America turned its policies of socialism back to capitalism preventing so much manufacturing from fleeing to China to avoid organized labor in the states.  States in America are doing just that by passing right-to-work legislation to stop the manufacture bleeding that has been taking place, and if such things become common place in America, along with tax breaks, businesses will flee China for America in a heart beat.  But such things were not on the mind of Charlie Rose who brought up “the ‘growth rate’ of China has been falling from double digits to about eight percent,” as Immelt chimed in, “Look, I think it’s good for China,” he said. “To a certain extent, Charlie, 11 to 12 percent is unsustainable. You end up getting too much stimulus or a misallocation of resources. They are much better off working on a more consumer-based economy, less dependent on exports, driving technology and innovation harder. Really, the one thing that actually works, state-run communism may not be your cup of tea, but their government works.”  You can read more about this at the link below:

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/head-of-obamas-jobs-council-state-run-communism-actually-works/

The reason the Chinese government works under communism is because the people of China are collectivists by their nature—dictated by their religion and other cultural background criteria.  Americans are not, but the public education system driven by current government policies are attempting to make Americans into collectivists so that communism will be received as a world-wide philosophy.  This was one of the key attempts of The Department of Education when it was founded in 1979, and is not news that comes out of conspiracy theory.  The information is clear for anyone who wishes to Google it—but few desire to acknowledge such a terrible truth—because it’s inconvenient.  But for a validation of the depth of communist penetration into the American government, and public education system read this American Thinker article:

  http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/11/pay_no_attention_to_the_commun.html

Communism only works if the society is mindless, and inquisitively evasive.  It takes “no thinking” to make a society into a communist one, and it doesn’t take a miracle to produce 1 billion brain-dead drones who can manufacture goods for a fraction of what it costs in The United States, if those drones do not question their reality.  And many communists are willing to trade thinking for comfort, which is the clear message in today’s public schools.  Young people are taught to take orders, follow directions, and comply with authority.  They are not taught to rebel, to think for themselves, to revel in their own independence.  Those types of behaviors are discriminated against in the society of government workers, and their brain-dead products.

People like Jeffrey Immelt and his boss Barack Obama don’t value individuality even though Immelt is politically listed as a Republican.  Such Republicans are of the “progressive” type, which is clearly indicated by his statement about China.  America, as it is now, would never comply with government orders, put up with the government restrictions on personal liberty, and absorb the loss of such personal luxury as the Chinese do while still showing up to work each day to work for bread and water.  Only a communist country of conquered people can get by with something like that—and the big government types are trying in America—but they will fail.

If China were held to the same regulatory standards as The United States is with socialist labor unions, aggressive EPA regulations, and a standard of living that expects more than 1000 SF of living space per person and all the food they can eat, China will find it’s economic growth evaporate in a flash.  And in the future, that is how America can beat China economically, by loosening the regulations, the taxes, and the socialism from labor unions, then America will thrive once again—because behind the mind of Americans is a thriving mind that craves individual freedom, and behind the oriental is a dominated collectivist that is easily controlled by authority lacking imagination as an entire country totaling millions upon millions of blank thinkers.  All together, they cannot compete creatively with the average American not because their minds are less—but because their political and spiritual philosophy limits them to restrictions of their imaginations—which are the ultimate fuel behind economic development.

Government looters ignore such facts, and it is for those reasons that they are so incredibly inept as managers, leaders, and financial tycoons.

Communism in Public Educaton: The California Teachers Union Video

Growing up at the end of the Cold War like I did, communism was a dirty word, and was a constant threat.  Many today think that the threat of communism went away after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which started in the early 60’s and was observed by intelligence officers as far back as the Cuban Missile Crises.  The Soviet Union was going to collapse, it was just a matter of time when.  They were collapsing because their political philosophy of communism destroyed ambition and productivity, leaving all of Russia and the gigantic land mass of China to turn those countries into the economies of the third world.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO.  Communism is an evil political philosophy because it demands national collectivism to work, which requires individual support—violating personal sovereignty.  Communism cannot work without destroying individuality, and in the process, destroying the kind of ambition that manufactures productivity.

But communism is not gone from the world—it has never left.   It is alive and well today through the labor movement, through the Obama presidency, through any nation’s tendency toward big government.  All that has changed with communism is that advocates have changed the names around to hide their true intentions.  This makes it hard to identify who America’s friends are from their foes when the red flag of the U.S.S.R is removed from the face of communism and is replaced with Barack Obama’s smiling mug advocating progressivism.  The threats to individual sovereignty is the same as it always has been, but the marketing of the ideas did change to appear less threatening, so that the idea of communism could spread all across the world—as was always the plan.  And no place in America is communism more present than in the public education occupation—exclusively because education is controlled by massive government backed teacher unions who plan to teach our children on the merits of communism while forcing them to live under a rainbow-colored umbrella of communism in their everyday lives.  The communists look and act like any other person in our general society—that is, until they open their mouths and begin to spew the long-held philosophic ideas of Karl Marx.  The dead giveaway that a person is a communist is that they advocate high taxes for the “rich” and wealth redistribution for the “middle class.”  For proof of this radicalism, look at the video produced by the California Teachers Union narrated by long time respected actor Ed Asner.  What is being advocated in this video is communism.  This is what our kids are learning in school with tax payer money off our property values.  This is the result of a communist attack from within America that has proven far more dangerous, and sinister than even the Cuban Missile Crises was during the Kennedy years.

I know this video and the producers of it are communists in spite of their declaration that they are “progressives” because their beliefs have been tried before, most notably in the Russian Revolution in 1917 Petrograd—known today as St. Petersburg.   For anyone wishing to learn more on this communism idea they should read We The Living by Ayn Rand, published in 1936 during the “Red Decade” here in America as a warning to those in The United States who were thinking of pushing communism during our own Great Depression.   The book is widely available at any book store today as Ayn Rand books are flying off the shelves as people are going back and learning what she was trying to say during the first half of the American 20th Century.  CLICK HERE TO READ MY REVIEW OF WE THE LIVING. Communists today fear Ayn Rand’s books, so they will ridicule anyone who attempts to read them.  In Ayn Rand’s novels—particularly We The Living she shows how the process happens, and it begins by demonizing the “rich,” those who produce jobs and generate the wealth of a country.  Communists wish to remove these “wealth producers” so that the government does not have any competition for that kind of activity.  In a communist country government wishes to be the job creators by distributing the looted wealth collected from the masses, so they must eliminate those who actually make things.  That is why they attack the “rich.”

The fundamental flaw that all communists suffer from is that they do not understand what makes wealth.   They believe that money is finite, that it is not a renewable resource generated from the ideas in an individual’s head and implemented by the companies that they create.   So communists attempt to steal the wealth that has so far been created, and then they sit on that looted wealth by redistributing it to the poor and middle class.  Then they wonder why their economies failing, because the value for things goes down as the wealth leaves the country like water running through a screen door.  Committees do not produce wealth, corporations do not produce wealth, and governments do not produce wealth.  All those collectivist organizations can only “manage” the wealth created by individuals.  America has had more wealth than any other nation because it has produced individuals who could think in such a fashion to manufacture wealth.   If those individuals are looted by their government, the individuals will stop manufacturing wealth, and soon the nation will fail with devalued currency, and become a society of middle-class looters looking to government to send a check they can live on in the mail.  When they don’t get it, they will protest—just like what is happening in Greece.

The California Teachers Union along with the rest of the public employees of that state are bankrupting it with their commitment to socialism/communism, and their mentality that was wonderfully evident in their video hosted by Ed Asner.  Communists are certainly alive and well, and if you send your child to a public school, they are being taught by communists, as classically defined.  Communists thrive in public education because there is no competition, so government has paved the way to spread communism into the minds of young Americans without any fear of competing ideas interfering.  If parents don’t like their children being taught by communists at their local school, they don’t have much choice but to home school their children (as my wife and I did for a time) or send them to a private school.  Sadly, it is time to stop kidding ourselves of the value of public education when it is now so obvious that public schools are teaching children the values of communism, instead of becoming productive capitalist in a thriving economy.

If you are an older person and can remember the Cold War, you should withdrawal your support from your public school any way possible.  If you send them your money, you are helping spread the communist message to our next generations.  CLICK HERE FOR PROOF THAT THE KGB INFILTRATED PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE 1960’s AND NEVER LEFT.  Younger parents, who did not grow up in such a time, won’t know what is going on because they are still too immature to see history playing out before their eyes, and they will not understand.  But for those of us who do, communists have to be removed from public education, and the best way to do that is to starve them out of their hiding places.  For more proof of this communist plot in all public schools, CLICK HERE, watch the video there before assuming that I’m pulling your leg.  Because I’m not, sorry to say.

France Calls Obama a Socialist: ‘World of Warcraft’ is all about CAPITALISM

It might be recalled that I have discussed in great detail free to all that the world willing to read that global governments are moving toward socialism because they lack the financial strength and productivity of America and can only hope that socialism will save their skins from years, and years of government mismanagement.  (CLICK HERE FOR THE MAP to see how socialism is infecting earth with a destructive political ideology.)  In America since socialism is a public relations nightmare—or at least it used to be, the word “PROGRESSIVE” has been used instead, and has been slowly sold through the public education system to naive young minds as busy parents simply needing a baby sitter didn’t pay any attention.  The result has been in America a mixed ideology of capitalism and socialism which is kind of like being in a marriage where the couple hates each other, but stay together for the kids.  Socialism is always looking to undermine capitalism as peace is just not an option, the two cannot co-exist.

I have declared openly that Obama is a functioning communist.  It looks as though he was raised as a communist and it’s all he knows.  And as anyone who understands such things knows, socialism is a big step toward communism.  Socialism is like having a diet Pepsi where communism is a regular Pepsi.  They are both sodas, but one is loaded with all kinds of nasty things, whereas the diet drink is intended to simulate the regular drink while avoiding all the nasty stuff.  Because Obama is a communist advancing the diet drink of socialism with great abundance the American economy is suffering terribly, and nobody wants to discuss it because socialism is a bad word in America.  So nobody calls it out by name.

Socialism started in America with labor unions and really kicked into gear during the Red Scare in the 1930’s leaving the progressive president FDR to enact many socialist American programs in his New Deal  to respond to global communism that was sweeping the planet.  This is how we ended up with Social Security and many other intrusive government programs.  But socialism didn’t stop there of course and is now advancing aggressively under Obama into nationalizing industries by the Federal government so that central authority control can be put in place—which has been the intention of communists all along—supported openly by many politicians, Obama simply being the latest.

It is hard for many people to believe, but the truth is what it is.  In Europe, which politicians like Obama love as an example of governance—but traditional Americans despise–socialism is out in the open.  In fact France has a socialist president.  In England socialism was hidden behind the name of the Labour Party and of course in America it was sold as the party of Democrats and the umbrella of Progressive politics.  But now Greece and Spain have openly supported the actual title of socialism.

Of course all these countries functioning under socialism are failing economically because socialism takes away personal responsibility and allows the weak and unproductive to feed off the exploits of the productive, and such a theory will never work in a million years.  It’s naive at best.  So after the French president was criticized for his high taxes on the rich, and companies threatened to shut down because they are owned by “the rich,” he simply replied that France could nationalize its industries instead of them functioning under private ownership, and he pointed at Obama as his gleaming example for what was going on in the United States.  Click the link below for more info.

It cannot be denied any longer.  Socialists are attacking our American way of life and they are doing so ruthlessly.  They are in essence predatory parasites, meaning they function as a collective of weaklings that require the looted efforts of strong backed individuals to carry them through life.  So it is time to meet them on the battle field and stop coddling them like infants crying for a pacifier.  Without capitalism America will fail, and for all the young kids reading this who thinks that what I’m saying won’t affect them, let me provide an example of capitalism and socialism that they might understand.  In the world of video games, over 10 million people play World of Warcraft.  Many of those 10 million people spend 5 to 6 hours a day playing that massive online game in a world of their own making with other players all over the world.  On weekends they spend over 12 hours per day.  It is likely that many of those 10 million either voted for Obama or support him without knowing why.  The idea of extended unemployment benefits, higher minimum wages, food stamps and many other government programs is very appealing to these young gamers, because it gives them more time to play their favorite online game with their virtual friends.  But the reason these people play the game of World of Warcraft is because in the real world, their lives are much more limited, and heavily regulated.  In the game of W.O.W a game player can spend all day working hard for their currency and leveling up their characters because they can see the results.  W.O.W. is a successful game because it frequently rewards players keeping them interested in playing the game.  But imagine playing W.O.W all day every day and then having the makers of the game tell players that they must send 50% of all the credits they’ve earned, and the skills their characters have acquired back to the video game manufacture as part of their fee for keeping the game operating.  Or that the game designers wish to give new players in W.O.W some of the other players money so that World of Warcraft would be more “fair and even” for new players who wouldn’t have to feel so bad when they were playing with and against players who have invested 200 to 1000 hours of time on W.O.W and have leveled their characters up to become very powerful.  If the makers of World of Warcraft did such a thing, the game would become very unpopular, and people would leave.  That is the difference between capitalism and socialism.  W.O.W. is a very capitalist system.   Players pay a small fee to play the game but get to keep most everything they make and produce within the game.  That is why W.O.W is successful, just like any economy, real or virtual.

In fact, it is partly because of this massive online gaming presence that members of the United Nations under control of Socialist International are looking to regulate trade and access to the internet.  They have seen that online games are a threat to their global philosophy.  Games like WOW that has over 10 million active users, and Star Wars: The Old Republic which has over 1 million and growing since it’s a very new release, along with the many millions that play Call of Duty on Xbox live every day, or Madden Football, or any number of releases are enjoying online PURE CAPITALISM because there is no limit to what they can do, only what their minds and time can produce.   When politicians and even parents wonder what the great appeal is to online gaming with kids, it is that games are pure capitalism still, and Socialists International fears that realization because they control every other aspect of human life in some form or another—and have come to realize that they must gain control of the online world in some way soon—starting with an online sales tax.  When it is asked why kids don’t want to play outside anymore, think about it—half the neighborhood neurotic mothers who also vote for school levies pad their kids up for safety instead of letting them get bumps and bruises.  Making playing outside difficult with knee pads and helmets just to ride a bicycle pushes kids somewhere else where they aren’t so restricted, just like any businessman.  Kids go online and play games where they can be free.

Socialism takes away the ambition to do anything.  I feel it myself.  There are a lot of things I would do that society would greatly benefit from, but to be honest, I don’t want to deal with the pin-headed bureaucrats to make those things happen so I stay out of the market place.  If things were deregulated, I might do more that would benefit society, but since doing anything productive these days requires a major pain in the ass investment of time and money, it is simply not worth it.  So I write books, because looting socialist bureaucrats have not yet found a way to tax the ideas that come out of my mind since they don’t control my thinking.  And there is a part of me who understands young people who would rather play a video game than to start a new business.  Because in the game, even though none of it is real, the player at least gets to keep what they earned while investing their time.  In real life, politicians guided by socialism want to take some of what everyone earns, so many young people just lock themselves in their bedrooms and play World of Warcraft filing for food stamps and other welfare programs rather than get a real job that’s unsatisfying, because they want more time to play their games.

Socialism is the culprit that is ruining the lives of Americans, and it is politicians like Obama who are advancing that destructive political philosophy most aggressively.  It doesn’t matter how much he smiles, or speaks, and manipulates, he is a socialist who also happens to be a lawyer with a proven history of taking great liberties with the truth.  Whoever supports a person like Obama is a damned fool and is directly responsible for the destruction of America.  Because once Obama and his fellow socialist have nationalized the world’s economy, they will come after the video game industry to eradicate from the minds of mankind any trace of capitalism forever.  That is when the young people playing W.O.W. will have wished they paid as much attention to politics as they do the story lines of their video games, because if they had, they may have been able to stop the spread of socialism that destroyed everything they knew and loved.
