“Tail of the Dragon’s” New Facebook Page: Following the book across the finish line

When I made the announcement the other day that I had just approved the cover design for my new novel Tail of the Dragon from my publisher, I thought the process was completed. So far my experience with American Publishing has been nothing but extremely good. While other publishers might have rushed through the various phases of the production process after accepting a manuscript, American Book took their time at every aspect of development. At times I wondered if that was the correct path, but my experience with the editors has been extremely good and everybody brought something to the table to really tighten up the story into the breakneck, concise narrative that it ended up in the final proof. But I really didn’t know what to expect from the cover until I received another proof after the acceptance of the first that revealed how the entire book would look, and how the cover art designer Jana Rade fantastically tied the two together with continuity unique in the world of book cover design. I was so excited upon seeing her final art proof that we created a Facebook fan page for the book to start satisfying the interest that is mounting prior to the final steps of delivering to the bookstores. I revealed that new site in the video below.

Jana with very little input from me came up with the design you can see up close in the accompanying picture. She managed to capture the folklore of the actual Tail of the Dragon, and articulate that this is not a fantasy story about dragons, but in fact a book that involves a car driving down a road that looks like a dragon’s tail. It’s simple enough to not be overbearing, yet all-encompassing in many metaphorical categories capturing the philosophy explored in Tail of the Dragon, and that is the philosophy of freedom. The lone car riding along on the tail of some maniacal beast disappearing off the page and emerging onto the back cover works on many levels, and I think is a world-class work of art that merges contemporary art with tradition in a wonderful way.

American Book has now moved into the production phase which involves sending galleys out to readers, and picking up reviews, as well as registering at all the distribution outlets, which is normal, and takes about 12 weeks. Although an official date has not been set yet, it looks right now to be right at the end of summer, which places it well before this year’s presidential election, which was a goal because the Tail of the Dragon among many sub plots is about running for President of the United States. So we certainly wanted to get it out by-election season.

So we’re getting closer, which is why we now have a Facebook page. So stop by and “LIKE” the page, “Friend” us there, and “PASS” the site along to your friends in your network and help us get the word out. Seeing how the cover captured so wonderfully the events of the book in such a dramatic, yet subtle way, my excitement for bringing this very exciting story to the public is greater than ever. The more people I can share it with, the better, because the message behind Tail of the Dragon is one that has meaning to each and every person living. The more people who have the opportunity to share in it, the more of an opportunity for someone to enjoy a unique novel that offers a fresh perspective on an age-old problem—what is the meaning of freedom, and what should we do as a society to maintain it. These are the intense questions that are dealt with in Tail of the Dragon and are nothing short than the life or death message for America’s future and the state of the entire world. So come with me on a journey that could change your life and that journey for you can begin over at the new Facebook page. Click here to visit. http://www.facebook.com/tailofthedragonbook

In Defense of Ayn Rand: Sex, the Fed, and Groupies

I found Ayn Rand because of my work with the Lakota School Levy in my home community. Even though many of the things I have said in my articles here are similar to the work of Ayn Rand, it was not until I was doing research into the source of many public education problems that I inevitably ran across the work of Ayn Rand from the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s, right in the heart of Roosevelt’s New Deal. Much of what we perceive as education rights come from this period in American history, and were ripe with communism being broadcast from The Soviet Union and Europe prior to the rise of Hitler and Mussolini fascism. Roosevelt was openly selling communism to America with American flags disguising the truth—not being purposely malicious, but naively, pompously, reckless with a vision driven by the so-called intellectuals of the time.

American intellectuals were in denial of the corrosive effects of communism and continued to promote it as the political philosophy that was in vogue. As a consequence, millions upon millions of Americans have been “taught” incorrectly what being an American is, so they have allowed communism to seep slowly into The United States without the grand, sudden change that happened in Russia of which Ayn Rand was a direct victim. To understand who Ayn Rand was, and what kind of events brought her about I highly recommend viewing this very extensive documentary shown below. For those who have not heard about her, or who know of her, but not much detail on who she was, this documentary will cover most of your questions.

In my own work over education funding, and the actual content of what is being taught in public school interacting with the type of people that public education is manufacturing for American society, I found that I was dealing with the symptoms of a great sickness but no matter what was proposed, the members (victims) of public education both young and old were intent to continue with a mindless blob like mentality that defied reason. The problem is a failed philosophy across the entire fabric of American society.

The United States started with a proper ideal in the Constitution, but immediately right out of the gate began to lose sight of the intention as human beings functioning from failed philosophies slowly destroyed the original idea. Seeing this, I realized that a new philosophy was needed to fix all of society, not just the education system–so I sought to invent that new philosophy here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom by hashing out the problems of the day properly identifying the issues and correcting them. But while doing research of the progressive period, I found Ayn Rand’s books and discovered with great relief that she already had dedicated a lifetime to solving the philosophical problems occurring in America. Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism is the key to solving most of our modern problems, and I know that because I arrived at many of her conclusions independently through rational observation, and in discovering her late, can verify the quality of her interpretations.

The political parties of the left and right do not like Ayn Rand because she was against all forms of collectivism. To those who wish to hide in the masses her philosophy is a serious threat to everything they are as people, and that is a painful realization. So Rand was attacked as being overly simplified, extreme right-winged, too selfish, and an utter failure. In fact critics point to a couple instances in her life as if to rationalize why none of her philosophy of Objectivism should be followed. The first is that she mentored Allan Greenspan the former Federal Reserve Chairman. Greenspan held the economy together for many years covering for poor banking practices by continuously lowering interest rates. Greenspan, a very dedicated pupil of Ayn Rand miscalculated the level of selfishness investors had as the high quality men of business did not show themselves in reality as they did in Ayn Rand’s books. Ayn Rand has taken the brunt of Greenspan’s naïveté about human nature, reminding many that the work of Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead are works of fiction, and not mirrors of reality. They are representations of the way of the world should be according to Ayn Rand, not as it is, and Greenspan got caught not adapting the ideas of Objectivism with the reality of the situation to some extent. Still, Greenspan was able to control the economy in many ways that would classify him as “the best.” The United States did very well with Allan Greenspan as the Federal Reserve Chairman.

The second mark against Ayn Rand was an affair with Nathaniel Branden that went on for over a decade. Rand participated in the affair with the consent of her husband Frank O’Connor. The relationship ended with Rand blowing her top on Branden when the much younger man wanted to break it off. At the time Rand was in her 60’s while Branden was only 38. That lack of judgment is used against Rand to point out her Objectivism philosophy is seriously flawed.

Many of the enemies Rand had are the same type of enemies that I have attracted here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom, and I received the link seen below from one of them to attempt to undress Ayn Rand over those two incidents in a scathing criticism of Objectivism as a whole, in hopes to stop the growing support of it. The person who sent me the link was accusing me of being a blind Rand supporter who needed to learn the flaws of Objectivism and also accused me of being an apologist for extreme right-winged politics. Check out the article, because this type of thing encompasses the extent of Rand’s supposed failures from the “collectivist” viewpoint.

http://www.theawl.com/2011/04/when-alan-met-ayn-atlas-shrugged-and-our-tanked-economy

If you watched the documentary on Rand you will know that her husband Frank O’Conner struggled to find his own light of greatness, since Rand’s light shown so brightly. Rand and Branden it would appear confused biological impulse with shared ideas of the highest nature and Branden broke off the affair when Rand was simply too old to be attractive to him sexually as he began to have sex with some of his young university students, namely Patricia Gullison. These relationships where early experiments with the concept of “open marriage” and they simply don’t work, because the spouses will always view their husbands and wives as “personal property.” There is an ownership in the word, “my husband,” or “my wife,” that makes open relationships impossible unless the parties are simply kidding themselves. I’ve met many of these types in Key West, who believe they are functioning in an “enlightened” fashion. But they are simply functioning from biological impulse where their bodies are in control of their minds, not the other way around. In Rand’s case, lessons learned, she and her husband lived the rest of their lives relatively happy with one another.

As far as Nathaniel Branden you can see in the clip below his account of how the affair occurred and why he did what he did. As an advocate of Objectivism he mistakenly “sexualized” his profound feelings for Rand’s ideas and it appeared that Rand did the same with a much younger man, getting from him what she wanted physically, which was a mistake. She became possessive of Branden when she shouldn’t have. The theory she wrote about makes much more sense of the written page, because as an author you have the benefit of editing and rewriting. In real life, you can’t take those kinds of things back if you make a mistake, so if you do something you wish you hadn’t, you can reedit. I’m sure Rand would take it back if she could, but she was also pushing against the edge of reality in working out her Objectivism and mistakes along the way contribute to wisdom. Repeating the mistakes over and over again is when stupidity comes into play, which is not the case with Ayn Rand.

The other party of this affair Barbara Branden the wife Nathaniel who was also consulted with before the affair began can be seen below. Obviously, she loved and respected Ayn Rand enough to memorialize her with books of her own which she still travels and speaks to the public regarding her profound respect for how Rand lived her life. I would say in hind-sight if Ayn Rand were alive today and looking back on this whole event she would declare Barbara and Nathaniel as looters of her good name. They did not make anything of themselves separate from her, and are attempting to make money off “her” name, not their own exploits. They have used their relationship with Rand to achieve a level of success, which would not be in line with the ideas of Objectivism. The reality of people like Barbara are that they are groupie friends of Ayn Rand’s no different than the women who sneak back stage at a rock concert to sleep with a rock star. They told Rand what she wanted to hear so they could say they knew her, and Rand mistakenly believed that they “got it.” They did not. They were and are still are simply fans who knew her.

The failures that occurred in and around Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism did not occur because of a failure of the philosophy, but in the human participants to fully grasp its meanings. Beholding an idea and then doing justice to it authentically are two separate things, and humans often bring their own emotional baggage to whatever situation they participate in.

The same cannot be said of movements like Communism or Socialism, because although humans do distort the essence of those concepts with faulty understanding, the idea of collectivism that is required to sustain Communism is inherently evil, because it goes against the wills and freedom of an individual. It requires the consumption of existence and allows the weakest members of society to dictate the strength of the culture. That may not sound like a fair statement, because we have been conditioned to believe that saying such things are unfair, yet without the incentive to strive for strength, and to be better the next day than one is the day before, the human race regresses instead of advances.

There is much more evidence to display why collectivism fails in all the ways that Ayn Rand articulated in her books than the failures of Objectivists, Rand included, in following her philosophy to the great potential that exists. The failures are not in the thinking, it is in the weakness of human potential to carry the idea to its full maturity. These early steps by Rand and her followers were akin to infants stumbling while learning to walk, and even the greatest athletes in the world who can run and leap over hurdles stumbled while learning to walk. Objectivism is a process that the infant mind of mankind needs to learn so that it can walk forward. Without such a philosophy human existence simply cannot advance.

I have shown at this site how human medicine is about to change. Human life spans are about to be extended indefinitely, regenerative medicine will prevent old age, and most cancers have already been solved by a doctor in Dallas. Flying cars have already been invented, yet are put on the shelf in favor of electric cars and a commitment to public trains, a symptom of a philosophy that is stuck in the past, to the world of trolley’s and trains, when the world of tomorrow is in the sky, and in space.

It was not the great visionary Ridley Scott who was wrong in his film Blade Runner, or even Alien when he predicted how far society would advance in the last couple of decades. It is not the fault of Stanley Kubrick because his predictions of space stations and artificial intelligence had not come to be by the year 2001 Space Odyssey. And it is not the fault of Robert Zimeckas because the world does not look like it did in his film Back to the Future II. Those filmmakers based their thoughts on The United States innovation during the space race, and it was capitalism that drove Americans to the moon. But once we conquered that achievement, we stopped, as communism had taken over American culture indirectly with progressivism spread by party politics. It was a continuing failed philosophy that slowly took America from a country who could send man to the moon with only a fraction of the population holding a college education, to a society of education addicted students burdened with debt but no jobs to occupy and a space program that for the first time in over 30 years is allowing the General Assembly Building at NASA to be open to the public—because nothing is going on.

The stagnation of our economy is because America allowed the intellectual progressives to implement soft communism in America, and Ayn Rand tried to warn our society. She was ridiculed because her work went against the wishes of these pretentious leeches. Education in America fails because they are focused on teaching collectivism, not individualism, and because of their dedication to the wrong philosophy, it is producing a majority of the population that is functioning from failed thoughts and failed lives. Such a culture cannot thrive under any circumstances.

If you want to know who is destroying life in America look to those who point at Ayn Rand and call her names, or attempt to distort her opinions with rhetoric. The people who are doing such things know that her views of how the world should be will apply pressure on their lives that they don’t wish, because laziness is driving their motivations. Reading what she wrote so many years ago has convinced me that the proper course for American society is in her work. Novels like Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead should be required reading, because they are the Great American stories that are uniquely products of life in The United States, and they should be treasured as such.

Educators in America at all levels for the most part are still committed to a path of socialism aimed at complete communism and as institutions; they are fundamentally flawed, and cannot be saved. Money won’t fix them, better teachers cannot help them, and government commitment is powerless to make them productive, because they are functioning from a failure at philosophy, which is the backbone of any culture. Without philosophy, a culture is nothing but random ideas. Philosophy gives meaning to the thoughts, and if society is functioning from the wrong philosophy, nothing can be done to save it. Public education will always fail because it is built on the wrong premise. It teaches collectivism and dependence instead of individuality and independence. Collectivism leads to social demise 100% of the time, individualism leads to growth, 100% of the time. It is that simple.

I am sorry to all those who intended for me to be a school board member, or a politician of some merit, an honest man in a dishonest profession. And I’m sorry to those who hoped to solicit my help in obtaining money from the state to prop up public education. I’m sorry to my Tea Party friends who wish to stack the political deck against the current crop of politicians with lobbies of their own, protests and political action, with my lack of participation. Even though that’s the way the game is played, and I see the merit in it, my path is not there. I say I’m sorry not for me, but from what those others expected of me, because I’m going in a different direction. I have no desire to maintain the current system in any form except for a commitment to the United States Constitution as it was written in the beginning, and I intend to change my career as a result to make sure that happens.

In the beginning I thought things could be fixed by just pointing out the problems. Now that I know the problems I was seeing are simply symptoms of a greater universal quandary, I am no longer interested in attacking the symptoms. The ultimate failure is in American culture picking the wrong philosophy to advance our society. The current one is leading to our demise, so a new one must be selected and the best I’ve seen to date is Ayn Rand’s Objectivism.

The enemies of Objectivism understand the implications, which is why I was sent the negative article about Ayn Rand seen above. They know that their life will change if America embraced Objectivism so they are violently opposed to it, Ayn Rand or anyone who champions her. They also understand that if left to my way of thinking the intellectuals of our current society will be discarded as useless, and they will lose their power–so they intend to fight, which is their choice. I intend to see an end to everything they support. So with two different ideas so opposed, there is no co-existence. They wish to maintain a collective society, and I wish to promote individualism, which will be my new selected career. That is the only way, and there is no middle ground. Regarding education, with what I’ve seen from the education empire of college degrees to public education, I seen nothing worth preserving as it stands now. The entire thought process needs a radical reinvention of itself and this simply won’t happen so long as the discussions are swept under the rug. It’s now time to pull out all the garbage that has been hidden under the rug and get it out in the open to make way for a new foundation to build our society upon, not one of smelly carpets or parasite infested flooring built on collectivity. The new foundation must be built on individuality or nothing. The collective society has been tried now for over 100 years and it is a failure, and only fools would continue to follow that path. For now on, the only thing that matters is individuality, because within that concept the solutions to most of the world’s problems evaporate before our eyes, and for me, nothing else is acceptable.

S.E. Cupp versus Larry Flynt: The real story behind Hustler Magazine

If a professional athlete wears an Under Armor muscle shirt in the world of progressive politics they are considered heroes. If I wear the same exact shirt during my whip video titled A Whip Trick to Save America I am called a “wife beater” because the shirt is offensive and reminiscent of the strong types of men who are against feminism and therefore an enemy to the progressive feminists. The term “wife beater” and “woman hater,” are thrown in my direction because I stand in the way of the feminist agenda. When it became known to me that progressive advocates were at my local grocery store surveying people, “what do you think of Rich Hoffman,” in an attempt to harm my reputation I responded by calling them “latté sipping prostitutes.” They responded by pushing the buttons of every media source in the city of Cincinnati to their cause in an attempt to derail me by turning all the women of West Chester against me in one collective blob of bloc voting, in a campaign to paint me as a “woman hater.”

It was the first time I’ve seen the scam of the so-called “war on women” up close, where progressive politicians like President Obama and school board superintendents like Lakota’s Karen Mantia use women as a bloc voting group playing on their emotions to advance private progressive policies. Unlike most conservative commentators, I do not fear the “wrath of the women” as my counterparts do, because I have admitted to myself that the entire movement is a scam, and deserves an eye for an eye. I’m tired of seeing conservatives apologize for being right and being ridiculed as insensitive or called other derogatory names to force them out of the public light leaving the progressive blob unopposed on the battlefield of ideas.

Once again, and quite audaciously the progressive mob has struck again, most notably against the GBTV commentator and conservative author S.E. Cupp. Cupp is a very talented young lady who is extremely strong in her political ideas and personal beliefs. If all women thought as she did, The United States of America would be so much better off as a society. She reminds me of the types of female characters that were popularized by the great novels of Ayn Rand who is another enemy of the feminist movement. Ayn Rand was a strong female author whose philosophy offers a real fix to American ideology. If the feminist movement was truly about strengthening the power of women in the world, women like Ayn Rand and S.E. Cupp would be placed on a pedestal and not attacked as profusely as they are. That is because feminism is not about strengthening women; it’s about weakening them and making them collectively dependent on government services therefore carrying out the desires for socialism in progressive politics.

Cupp was attacked most recently by one of Obama’s biggest supporters Hustler publisher Larry Flynt in a recent fantasy edition where they took images of S.E. Cupp and PhotoShopped in a sexual act to plant in the mind of their readers a deflowered, diminished woman fallen from grace. This isn’t the first time Flynt has done this. He often offers rewards to mistresses of conservative politicians to accomplish the same effect, so Flynt’s role in politics is as an attack dog for the movement. You will not see feminist groups protesting Flynt over the attack on Cupp, because they are on Flynt’s team, even though the most ardent progressives of our day think the attack against Cupp went too far.

I waited to cover this story because I wanted to see if Obama would offer any comment as he did for the woman called a prostitute by Rush Limbaugh. It was that incident that gave the progressive women who push excessive school levies in my community the idea to come after me. They figured it worked against Rush Limbaugh so it would work against Rich Hoffman. Nobody ever asks why these progressive goof balls can’t argue any facts. They can only call people names because their ideas are fundamentally flawed and emotionally based. In Cupp’s case, she’s young, strong, attractive, smart and is virtually unstoppable in a one on one debate. She doesn’t have the easy flaws to attack as progressives did against Sarah Palin when they went against her accent on Saturday Night Live with a vigor. Bill Maher painted Palin as a street walking parasite and just about every publication went after every aspect of her family attacking her children with a fury. The vicious nature of these attacks was covered by Ayn Rand in her novel The Fountainhead. Rand spelled it out in great detail what the progressives were up to in that book written way back in 1943. Cupp is simply the most recent target, and the intention is to frighten her into hiding in the masses, to strip her down and beat her into submission. All these attacks are aspects of mob rule against the mind of the individual and the hypocrisy is more evident when the attacks are against other women by so-called women supporters than when the attacks come at me, or someone like Rush Limbaugh.

S.E. Cupp is a danger to progressive politics because she can punch holes in their ridiculous collectivists’ arguments; she is young and can fill the minds of that demographic group in ways that terrify progressives, because they want empty minds that they can fill with their pornography, just as they don’t won’t women strong and independent, but pregnant and on welfare—dependent on “daddy” government. Progressives don’t want S.E. Cupp, or Ayn Rand–strong women who actually think for themselves and can stand on their own against the world. The progressive’s biggest fear is that these women from the past and present will undo the fear they are attempting to unleash upon the world, a sickness of collectivism driven by the insecurities of the masses.

Progressives like Larry Flynt, and Barack Obama wish to see personalities broken down and crying in a gutter, that is why people like Cupp are made to suffer, to destroy their confidence so they will admit they need the collective body of society. They would place higher in their minds the sluts of Hustler who will undress for money and allow their sanctity tarnished forever because the women yield their honor as deflowered beings who will never challenge the established order, because they sold themselves short. When a personality like S.E. Cupp does not take off her cloths for some scandalous photo shoot, or gets caught drunk and passed out behind a college fraternity house gang rapped by a bunch of drunken fools tarnishing forever a young women, or taking off her top on spring break cheapening herself to thousands of gawking eyes, there is not much one can do to tear down such a person emotionally. The progressive seeks stories of weakness, and doing such things are signs of human weakness, which the progressive seeks out like a plant strives for sunlight. The progressive needs corruption and foolishness to grow and survive. In the case of Larry Flynt, if he can’t get it legitimately, he’ll make it up, as he did with S.E. Cupp. President Obama will not come to the defense of S.E. Cupp as he did the target of Rush Limbaugh’s comments because the standard is assuredly a double one.

The same people who call me a “wife beater” because of a muscle shirt I wore, or Rush Limbaugh as a “woman hater” because of his comments attempt to paint Sarah Palin as “unsophisticated” and Ayn Rand as a “right winged-radical.” These same minds would rather tear down a fantastic young mind like S.E. Cupp into a diminished porn queen because only then can they relate to a woman so virtuous. Now my critics know why I called them “latté sipping prostitutes” because they are all too willing to sell their souls away to public schools to disguise their horrible parenting skills, or their value of money is non-existent because they do not value themselves. True, I could have been gentler with my wording than I was, but I didn’t want to, because I choose not to turn the other cheek from this treacherous behavior. As Hustler explained in their article of Cupp and the pornographic images they created of her:

“S.E. Cupp is a lovely young lady who read too much Ayn Rand in high school and ended up going the dark side. Cupp, an author and media commentator, who often shows up on Fox News programs, is undeniably cute. But her hotness is diminished when she espouses dumb ideas like defunding Planned Parenthood. Perhaps the method pictured here is Ms. Cupp’s suggestion for avoiding an unwanted pregnancy.”

S.E. Cupp is the kind of young woman I raised my daughters to be, self-reliant, strong, and vastly independent. These are the kind of women who should be held up in society as the goals of all women. But Hustler feels it must defame them in a way to lower the bar for the masses so the collective does not feel bad about themselves and the terrible decisions they’ve made in their lives. So far, Cupp has made excellent decisions and she deserves the merit of those decisions. She does not deserve the implication of collective salvation attempted against her sanctity. But the intention of all involved is clear, Hustler, a pornographic magazine headed by a so-called champion of the 1st Amendment Larry Flynt highlighted in the movie The People vs. Larry Flynt starring Lebanon, Ohio’s own Woody Harrelson is on a political torpedo mission against the American way of life.

Larry Flynt himself started right here in Cincinnati, Ohio where he ran a dirty go-go club downtown. To get more customers to come to his club, he published a newsletter that became Hustler Magazine. His magazine took off when he published pictures of Jackie Kennedy in the nude—the former first lady of The United States. Larry Flynt lost his smut peddling case in Cincinnati and narrowly escaped jail time but became a national celebrity in the process. Many years later in Monroe, Ohio right down the road from Woody Harrelson’s boyhood home, Larry opened a Hustler of Hollywood store to rub his “free speech” in the face of the same type of conservatives who attempted to jail him so many years ago. He has made his living tearing down others and is the ultimate political looter. He exploits the weak nature of his audience by peddling sex on the cheapest scale making it easy for all to indulge in their most explicit fantasies. Hustler of Hollywood, which is right down the road from my house is busy at all hours of the day all days of the week, and is filled with pro-government school levy supporters and social degenerates. The average political knowledge of the typical customer is approximately equivalent to a gold-fish. It is these customers who will enjoy the images of S.E. Cupp with erotic joy even though the images are completely made up and falsified by the owner of Hustler Magazine who seeks to smear goodness under the banner of free speech granted to him by his victory with the Supreme Court. The merit of S.E. Cupp’s Hustler picture is the same of progressive politics in general—it’s a complete fantasy of the mind and has nothing to do with reality.

In that fashion, Flynt has become a hero to the progressive community who use his strategies to this very day to eradicate goodness from the face of the planet. And when a person dares to stick their head above the collective masses, they use Larry Flynt’s court battles and naked women as the battle cry to deflower the entire human race so everyone in society is just as disgusting as they are—so the image they see in the mirror does not make the progressive feel guilty in comparison.

S.E. Cupp deserves an apology from President Obama, from Larry Flynt, from every porn lover who reads the Hustler Magazine and visits his Hollywood Hustler store—my friends and neighbors. It was the kind of evil being seen now that people like Sherriff Simon Leis tried to fight back in the 70’s because they could see what was happening even if everyone else chose to turn a blind eye. Progressives like Flynt and Harrelson who came from broken deranged families and were jealous of those who were morally intact and valued themselves went to war against everything that is good in the world.

Cupp will never get an apology because the intention was to destroy her. Progressives do not want to look at her, they don’t want to hear her, and they just want her to go away. They are so vitriolic about their hatred of goodness that they will do anything to remove it from their eyes. But lucky for all of us, S.E. Cupp is not afraid; in fact it looks like she is feeding off it. Because of this episode of Hustler Magazine against S.E. Cupp it is likely that we are seeing the modern version of Howard Roark about to crush all his enemies with his simple will and goodness that occurred in the Ayn Rand classic The Fountainhead. Because the playbook of the progressive is open for all of us to see and it’s full of hypocrites. Not a one of them in progressive politics be it your local teacher, superintendent, politician, actor, porn peddler, president, union leader, or feminist, want individuals like S.E. Cupp to be all they can be. They don’t want freedom for all women at all. They want enslavement and the evidence is in the silence from Obama and his legions of goons, his backers at Hustler Magazine, the latté sipping prostitutes, his “educrats” who are teaching children to have sex in the fourth grade so they are future customers of Larry Flynt’s store and on their third marriages before they are aged 30. Progressives want the complete destruction of individualism and goodness in the world, and they will attempt to destroy anyone to have it, even if it’s a nice, young, attractive lady like S.E. Cupp who is wholesome and full of virtue.

As for Larry Flynt I was watching the below footage and I can’t tell the difference between him and Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars.

To me they look just the same.

Redistribution Plan of the Obama Looters: Reds beat the Yankees on a Sunday Afternoon

I spent a great deal of time outside this past Sunday working on the yard. During this endeavor I listened to the radio as I often do when working in and around the garage and I noticed that from noon till 6:15 PM that same day, I heard nothing but news coverage for the Reds baseball team. First it was the pre-game report that discussed various pitching match-ups and hitter percentages. Then there was the actual game against the Yankees, of which the Reds won. Then for two hours after the game there was post-game talk. I enjoyed the game but I wondered about the type of men and women listening that cared about all the statistics of those individual players who are technically only kids playing baseball on a Sunday afternoon. The amount of attention given to baseball was bewildering to me especially with the kind of things going on in the world. As this Reds broadcast filled the airwaves with entertainment my friend Matt Clark was doing his own radio show trying his best to bring some alarming statistics to the minds of his listeners.

Matt’s broadcasts shown here warning Americans of the collective salvation that Obama and his minions of looters are attempting to inject upon the American people are a whole lot more sinister than a baseball game. The same mind that listens to the sports statistics of specific players should be able to analyze the tremendous amount of evidence that there is that President Obama is at the front of a collectivist movement to eradicate all Americans with wealth redistribution. What’s great about Matt’s broadcasts is his frequent use of actual clips depicting the dialogue these collective looters are implementing.

The work of the Obama gang is a clear case of what Ayn Rand would call the “second handlers.” These are people who initiate no work or productivity on their own, but instead are completely dependent upon others to initiate action. This means that the “second handler” must take from a “first handler” in order to do anything. Obama’s basic economic plan as well as those of his friends are to make the entire world into a society of “second handlers,” so that each person is connected to another and this will foster peace as it’s termed by the hippie movement—because everyone is assured of their own destruction if they attempt to harm someone they are dependent on. A society of kiss-assess is the Obama vision.

However, this view of the world is entirely created for the benefit of the “second handler.” The second handler does not understand that it takes a first handler to create the things that the second handler attempts to redistribute to others. Without the first handler taking action, the second handler has nothing to do. A society of second handlers is worthless as an economic power, because second handlers not capable to produce anything. They can do work, but they cannot initiate the work.

I thought of second handlers a lot as I listened to the radio broadcast of the Reds game. It was obvious to me that the people who chose to pay attention to all these sports statistics instead of the statistics of their government are committing a crime rooted in neglect. By their political indifference, they are feeding the life of the second handlers by working, paying taxes, and blindly voting for the policies of looters like Obama without equal analysis as they commit to the pitching staff of the Reds baseball team. If they did, there would be no quarrel by me. Sports can be fun, and I personally enjoy them. But they cannot replace the logical management of our republic on the matters that truly count, which is what’s happening.

Matt Clark in the three videos shown here breaks it down clearly for all to understand. He has made it easy for the average person to see what is happening by the second handlers of our government. But let me make it even easier than he has. Let me put what he has said into baseball terminology, since that is apparently all anyone cares to pay attention to—Obama and his government of collectivists are not leaders. They are our governmental representatives, but they are not happy with that role and are attempting to pronounce themselves princes, princesses, kings, queens and emperors. They are attempting to do what every dictator, monarch and tyrant has done in the short history of the human race, and that is rule as a second handler—a person who requires others to live and will use their collection of pawns to prop themselves into power. And they are using the distraction of sports and popular culture to mask their sinister intentions of wealth redistribution and world-wide socialism.

On sports teams like the Reds, Joey Votto is a first handler. The team will live or die by his performance. On the other hand the manager Dusty Baker is a second handler. His only task is to reflect the philosophy of team ownership onto the field of play. Neither the ownership or the manager, or the token support players mean much without a Joey Votto—which is why Joey gets paid so well—because Votto is a first handler. The manager and most other members of the team could be replaced or changed without changing the nature of the team. But Joey Votto could not be replaced or changed without destroying the product seen on the field. This is the nature of all things.

The same with Obama and government in general, the government looter is like the management of Dusty Baker. They are well-intentioned and wish to believe they are in charge, but because they are second handlers they are completely at the mercy of the first handlers. In our nation the first handlers are big companies who produce huge amounts of tax revenue—such as “big oil,” “bankers,” and in general most of the organizations that Obama constantly ridicules. He ridicules these economic factions as a second handler attempting to take from someone else so that he can give to those who do not have—wealth redistribution. But at the same time he expects the first handler to continue working, innovating, and creating even though they get to keep less of their created wealth so that others can loot off their labor. This is the folly of our collectivist nation led by these looters of government.

Yet it is not the first handler who is wrong, even though they are made to feel that way, it is the second handler. We feel the same way about those people as we do with Rex Ryan who coaches the New York Jets. In that case, like Obama, Ryan is a second handler who wants to pretend he is a first handler and at an innate psychological level, we understand that he’s not. That’s why Ryan is the subject of public scrutiny because he does not understand that the team is not about him. With the Jets, the first handler there is the cornerback Revis. The team of the New York Jets lives or dies by the performance of Darrelle Revis, not Rex Ryan or Mark Sanchez.

The danger is when Americans allow the second handlers of our society to believe they have all the power, and we allow them to do this because our minds are on sports statistics instead of the very serious matters of the day such as politics. As Matt Clark pointed out in great detail with the broadcasts above, there has been a lot of manipulation going on behind our backs by a president who is attempting to rule as a second handler, and this is very dangerous. But the way to beat him is not with anger, or protests, but by taking away what he attempts to redistribute to others. If Americans took away the ability of the second handler to “handle” anything it would reduce those people to the task of becoming worthless, which is the biggest fear the second handler has in life. And this is what needs to happen to every looter who has their hands into your life robbing you in broad daylight while the sports statistics of children occupy your mind with clutter.

I know many people who take the sports statistics further than even professional sports and even pay attention to college stats and high school athletes. My advice to you is to give it up. Don’t try to live your lives through these children and surrender your country to the second handlers of Obama and his minions of looters. Pay attention to their actions the way you do with sports stats and many of the problems in our world would be solved, because you’d be able to see and hear what Matt is trying to point out, that we are under attack by the second handlers of society who are trying to obtain collective salvation on all of our backs, which is simply reprehensible, and diabolical for the long-term sustainability of our nation. If it continues, you will find that once we get to the ninth inning and are losing by 5 runs in America and are down two runs with two outs we’ll wonder how it happened. And the answer is that we could have fixed it, and won the game much earlier, but didn’t because we weren’t paying attention placing our value on all the wrong aspects of our lives.

Hiding the Crimes of the Obama Administration: D.O.J. sues Sheriff Joe with machine politics

The young people in the video below who think that they are worldly women of eternal knowledge speak through the piercings on their lips and tattoos on their arms as the authority of progressive youth, bred in the age of public education socialism. They see absolutely nothing wrong with the William Holder’s Justice Department as it converges down hard against Sheriff Joe Arpaio with a law suit because the popular Arizona Sheriff refused to be monitored like a child for the accusations of racial profiling involving illegal immigration. Without question in bars and nightclubs all across the nation youth from 20 to 30 are speaking just like these too unfortunate girls who have no idea that they are cheerleaders for socialism and striking out against a bastion of wisdom, and freedom in the gallant Sheriff Joe.

I would wager vast sums of money that in any jail, or police department all across this country, there are abuses similar to what the Justice Department is calling out against Sheriff Arpaio. I am not a fan of excessive police powers; in fact, I am very much against it. But this law suit is not about justice for the victims in the jails, the women who requested clean sheets, the derogatory names called to the illegal immigrants who are flooding Arizona with impossible waves of crime and violence associated with immigration and the drug trade. No the Justice Department is filing suit against Joe Arpaio for one simple—unequivocal reason—revenge, and sustaining cover-ups.

The Justice Department and its illegal methods of obtaining justice are very well-known by those mature enough to see it, which the progressive youth of today have been robed of in their public educations. In fact as this law suit by the DOJ is aimed at Arpaio, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is renewing his effort to drum up bipartisan support for a contempt of Congress resolution against Attorney General Eric Holder, despite little enthusiasm from GOP leaders who’d rather wallow like pigs in the mud of their illustrious, uncourageous design.

According to Roll Call, the California Republican is still angry over Holder’s failure to turn over documents related to the committee’s investigation of the federal “Fast and Furious” gun-tracking program. Obviously, Holder is dragging his feet to avoid the legal trouble that will happen when the documents for Fast and Furious are known to the public. For review, Fast and Furious is not the popular movie, but in the Fast and Furious Federal case in front of congress, ATF agents secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after a so-called “big fish.” But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called “gunwalking,” and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent which caused the death. The tampering of the DOJ in the criminal workings of Mexican drug cartels had backfired, and somebody must be held accountable.

And

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-57338546-10391695/documents-atf-used-fast-and-furious-to-make-the-case-for-gun-regulations/

The DOJ has shown clearly what they were after in that case, which was to create border violence so the Obama Administration would gain the ability to push for more restrictions on The Second Amendment. They did this knowing the risk of causing harm against Americans, yet they did it anyway in order to achieve tougher gun laws—one of the progressive party’s most cherished social aims–the disarmament of America. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW WHY GUNS ARE NEEDED TO PRESERVE FREEDOM.

The DOJ is so involved in using illegal immigration on the border to push for more progressive policies eroding the US Constitution desired by the Obama Administration that they go after any organization that opposes them. They are so aggressive to this aim that they actually sued the Governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer for attempting to crack down on illegal immigration back in 2010, back when the girls in that video were probably looking for a prom date in high school—a whole two years ago, which everyone in the media has already forgotten—because the have the intellectual capacity of a nat. In that case the Justice Department accused Arizona of trying to “second guess” the federal government. Ironically it is Sheriff Joe Arpaio who is carrying out the desires of Governor Brewer who are both public officials elected by the people of Arizona to protect the state, and they are using the 10th Amendment to exercise their Constitutional Rights. But the Obama Administration does not respect Constitutional Rights, and is openly looking to rewrite them as a “living” document determined by their globalist wisdom, which people like me, and Sheriff Arpaio view as domestic terrorism.

But the worst of it all is that none of the new age youth with their body piercings, broken families, and wisdom as deep as a bowl of water understand that it was Sheriff Joe Arpaio who just a few months ago proved that Barack Hussain Obama presented a forged birth certificate as proof of his American citizenship. You see dear reader; this situation with the DOJ is not just a case of investigating racism, or prejudice charges against a hard-line Sheriff in Arizona. If one wished, the same charges could be made against Eric Holder himself who is currently in contempt of Congress for crimes of his own. It’s only been two weeks removed that the President’s own Secrete Service agents fought with a prostitute in Columbia for refusing to pay for services rendered, so there is plenty of bad behavior on all sides of the government payroll, so the discrimination in Arizona is not about rights for Latinos, it’s about mob rule, it’s about intimidation—it’s a war between the federal government and the state government of Arizona, and Sheriff Arpaio is the targeted general of the Obama Administration.

Young people like the girls in the first video do not know that they are being used as instruments of war as they casually intoxicate themselves on the weekends and pierce their bodies with signs of “independence” while their political philosophies have been shaped by big government types like President Obama in public education to advance a complicated socialist agenda. The young people without thought or sense, but armed with the right to vote, are used by the enemies of America to protest against those who are truly right, and are defending the last remnants of the American Constitution like Sheriff Arpaio.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, all these strategies by the enemies of America such as Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and the sad little progressive youth like the girls just a few years out of high school who are so highly regarded in progressive politics because of their sheer naïveté–these enemies cannot rely on facts to advance their cause. They cannot rely on the rule of law, because the law is against them. All they have are name calling and law suits, which they use like the mob in twisting the arm of the good of this country to yield to the evil of progressivism. Holder and his boss Obama know they are law breakers themselves, but they control the law from the top office, and they need to keep the good work of Sheriff Arpaio out of their affairs, so they can continue to commit sheer evil upon the American people.

I have been called every name one can imagine by progressive advocates and have seen every tactic being played against Sheriff Arpaio time and time again. The evidence that Arpaio is on the correct path in his quest for justice can be seen by just how angry the DOJ and Obama Administration are toward him. Cockroaches like all parasitic creatures desire to be kept in the dark so they can commit their crimes. This is what Obama and his minions wish to do, is to squash Americans like Sheriff Arpaio who are shining the light of justice in their direction. And it is the youth and progressive politicians that are used to apply emotional arguments declaring fairness for the oppressed, and to bend the rules of The Constitution to get it.

Sheriff Arpaio is being crucified for one reason, to hide the crimes of President Obama and his band of thugs in an election year. Those who cannot see it but still chant for justice against Sheriff Arpaio are simply facilitators of evil, to which such a word is considered radically extreme. Yet the crimes of this administration and the apologists who support it are truly evil and will stoop to no low too great to advocate it, even if their co-conspirators are cockroaches running from the light when a clear conscious of justice shines it upon them.

The Life of Julia: How free are women after progressive policies?

Oh, how wonderful the Obama administration is, the ultimate parent mother government. The disgusting slide show shown as the campaign rhetoric of the new Obama presidential platform is a summary of why public education is a complete failure and why the women’s movement of progressive Victorian escape velocity from traditional values has very nearly destroyed our civilization after just 100 short years of nonsense.

Thankfully for voters all over the United States the true nature of the socialist Obama presidency is revealed for all to see with tremendous arrogance, and a lack of respect for American intelligence in the slide show presentation known as, “The Life of Julia.” Look for yourself:

http://www.barackobama.com/life-of-julia

The slide show featured on the Obama website features a young girl aged three getting a start in her life with the Head Start government program then traveling through her life as she gets Pell grants, free health insurance coverage, government loans, Medicare, then Social Security. In the Obama plan Julia dies sometime after age 65 and the whole process starts for the next generation. The premise is that Julia requires government help during her entire life, from the cradle to the grave.

The vision—or should I say lack of it—is disgustingly narrow and pathetically reminiscent of all the European socialist countries that have been licking the heels of America since the Industrial Revolution, and I am thankful that the Obama Administration showed openly this time that they are socialists with this disgusting assault against the American Woman.

Here is the real life of Julia as seen through the eyes of reality.

Obviously Obama and his band of looters are attempting to appeal to the women vote in the upcoming election. After all, this is not the Life of “John,” but of “Julia.” Men typically don’t look to daddy government to care for them, at least this is the implication of what the Obama administration states in this slide show. Watching this presentation by a sitting American president has really brought to question how far women have really come as independent suffragettes at the start of progressive politics. What have women really accomplished in their so-called independence?

Julia as a young woman in the world of Obama is not raised by her parents. There is no reference to a mother, or a father. There is the implication that it is government who cares for the young Julia, and her parents are simply caretakers for her life. Yet all through Julia’s years she is always holding out her hand to government to get her through to the next phase.

I thought the women’s movement was all about breaking free of the grips of those “stinky,” “filthy,” “womanizing,” men who couldn’t keep their pants on, trapping thousands of women in a kind of prison while they slaved over a hot stove cooking for their monstrous husbands? At least that’s what the short-haired, bell-bottomed women of feminism have always said—that women deserved equal pay, equal treatment, so that they could be free of being slaves to men.

But what has that given to women? Weak minded men—loveless lives of loneliness, broken families with so many step parents that nobody even knows whose kids belong to whom. Those are the gifts of feminism, and of progressive politics. Women today are free of a man to run their lives, to oppress them into slavery as the head of their families. Instead, progressives like Obama have freed women of the chains of their families and traded in those for the shackles of a bigger, meaner force in her life–that of Big Daddy Government.

If women were truly free, would they need government to stand over them for protection, to enforce the rule of law destroying families in the process? Is a woman free who must look to Big Daddy Obama to care for them—because that’s what Obama is selling on his slide show—he’s literally saying that he will care for American women from cradle to grave with his governmental policies? All a woman has to do is elect him so he can steal from the tax payers and give to all those poor, helpless Julia’s in the world who can’t do a thing unless Big Daddy Government sweeps in to care for Julia’s life.

Yes Julia—who’s your daddy? Who’s the big man in your life? Are you free all you Julia’s reading this now? Can you care for yourselves or do you need Big Daddy Obama to equalize the world for your fragile sensibilities? Is this the freedom the feminists fought for, to break free of the chains of their alcoholic, abusive husbands and to attach themselves to the fingers of many such monsters as are typical in modern government?

And before anyone says that my comments here are “women hating” it wouldn’t be the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last. (Click Here). But I did raise two daughters and I’ll tell you dear reader what I taught them, that if you look to anyone in your life to care for you, then you are a slave. That includes your parents, and it certainly means other family members, friends, neighbors but especially government. If you take money from those thieving losers, then you have signed away parts of your own soul to a life of servitude. To me, “The Life of Julia,” as proposed by President Obama’s vision of the future is slavery of a different kind—it is socialism put kindly and is a sharp march toward “RED” communism. It is the worst kind of social engineering experiment indulged in by any mass society, and it is destructive to the human soul. The life of Julia is one I would never recommend for my daughters, or my wife, mother, or anybody else. The life of Julia is a tyranny that is scandalous to the personal sovereignty of every human being that breathes, and should be rejected by all Americans, no matter what their sex or race.

But the Obama administration knows what magic tricks work behind the progressive push for feminism, a blind collectivism that unifies women everywhere to a feeling of inequality which is simply a hoax designed to get all women to jump away from the tyranny of their families into the tyranny of Big Daddy Government. In the end, the women are not free, just used for political purposes and tossed away to the careless indulgence of bureaucrats and their parental rolls of a New World Order where parents will become obsolete, and all citizens are but brothers and sisters to their guardians in government—those obese, comb-over politicians of corruption and name plates. That is the life of Julia.

New Novel Set in the Great Smoky Mountains: The Famous Matt Clark interview on “Tail of the Dragon” with Rich Hoffman

On Sunday May 6, 2012 I spent some time with Matt Clark of the Clarkcast Radio Network to talk about my new novel Tail of the Dragon which is about to hit book stores everywhere. Matt had read an early version of the novel before I signed with my publisher and enjoyed it so much he called me personally to say just how much he loved the story prompting us to discuss it well in advance of its release to the public. When the book was close to release, we spoke about doing the interview heard and seen below as it aired on Talk 1600 WAAM in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Check it out!

On a special note, during the interview, I say “WE” quite a bit. This is in reference to either my wife who has been on many adventures with me and has been a big part of the writing process–or its in reference to my publisher and the team who has worked with me to bring this book to life. Its a process that involves a lot of people, so saying “WE” seemed appropriate.

Even though Matt and I spoke about a lot of topics that make Tail of the Dragon a unique and timely novel, where the events of this intense story are paralleling the tensions of our current nation, a lot of what we wanted to discuss didn’t make it into our interview. If it had, our talk might have gone on for hours. So to further elaborate the content of the Tail of the Dragon I have a longer version of the interview to enjoy while the final stages of production are completed prior to the release of the book in The United States and International markets.

Enjoy!!!!!!

Q: What is your new book Tail of the Dragon all about?

A: I set out to write the book I’ve wanted to see written for a number of years, an action packed good ol’ car chase that was filled with excitement. They used to make lots of those films in Hollywood years ago, and of late, even with the strong video game market from the Need for Speed series and the popularity of the Fast and Furious films, studios have been shy about tackling those types of projects.

When I was growing up it was films like Smokey and the Bandit and The Dukes of Hazzard that dominated movie and TV sets and I always felt that those types of entertainment mediums were healthy for American culture since questioning the merit of the law is important to our checks and balances as a society. And for me, it is kind of sad that one of the greatest car chase films of all time is The Blues Brothers which was made back in the 70’s. So I set out to write a story to contribute to this starving deficiency, and I purposely set out to write the most exciting, and intense car chase story in the history of car chase stories. If early readings of the book are any indication, I’d say that mission was accomplished.

Q: After reading this novel it seems that there is more to it than just a car chase. These characters are in deep peril. The politics of the novel seem to be a very direct commentary to real life.

A: I think of this story as a modern pirate story, where the main character Rick Stevens has been hired as a privateer much the way England and France hired privateers to harass the Spanish Main during the 17th century leading to the golden age of piracy. This gave rise to the great privateer/pirate called Henry Morgan. In a way I see Rick Stevens as the modern counterpart to that historic character. Stevens has been hired by political interests to harass the Highway Patrol in Tennessee for political reasons—to prevent a presidential run to the White House of the current Tennessee governor. So in that respect, there is a contemporary storyline.

Q: But you don’t deal with party politics, you keep it neutral.

A: That’s right. I make no mention of Republicans or Democrats because to me they are all kind of the same thing. If there is a political meaning to be taken from this particular story it’s that the political system is broken beyond repair and a small number of characters are intent to correct that system with a rebellious upheaval which causes this grand car chase.

Q: Isn’t it a hot dog that starts all this in motion?

A: Yes, Rick Stevens accepts the bet of a hot dog in a race that triggers off the chain reaction of events that lead to the next civil war in America. This time the battle lines are drawn between those who want government to continue to expand, and those who want to see it withdrawal from their lives. But yes, the whole thing starts over a bet for a simple hot dog.

Q: But this isn’t just a tough guy car chase; you have romance in it too.

A: Yes, Rick Stevens and his wife are on a trip to Gatlinburg to shake the dust off their marriage, which is a very popular destination for that kind of thing, and while there Rick wants to run his new motorcycle on the Tail of the Dragon which is a road on the western frontier of the Great Smoky Mountains that has 318 curves in just 11 miles. It’s considered one of the most extraordinary roads in the world, so it’s a very popular destination for high performance bikers and automobiles. In the novel this is the destination for this middle-aged couple as they reconnect romantically now that their oldest son is off and married.

Q: Ok, so that brings up the question, how much of this story is real? How much of Rich Hoffman is there in Rick Stevens?

A: There’s a bit there, especially in the first couple of chapters where the couple is traveling on their way to The Dragon for the first time. I’d say those chapters are a bit autobiographical. When my wife and I traveled to the actual Dragon I was amazed by the culture that was there. There was a real hunger for personal freedom that I found refreshing so I knew I had to make my next book about that extraordinary place. That same summer my wife and I traveled over 10,000 miles on our motorcycle as I started writing this book so that I could get my head into the mind of a character like Rick Stevens. We traveled from the shores of Lake Erie to the tip of Key West by motorcycle and many places in between. On those trips this story was born in every aspect. When you travel by motorcycle and speak with other motorcyclists at gas pumps and rest stops there is a respect that is undeniable. Where Rick Stevens and I part ways is that Rick does not have the same outlets as I do. I write, and read a lot, but Rick invests his time in cars and engines and doesn’t have mechanisms to relieve the stresses he feels in his life. I would never snap the way Rick Stevens does, but there is a part of me that really understands his reasons and motives for the behavior that becomes the greatest car chase in human history.

Q: So you and your wife rode 10,000 miles on a motorcycle all over The United States to research this novel?

A: Yes, but our riding stayed on the eastern side of the Mississippi River because most of the traveling was on long weekend trips that were close to our hometown of Cincinnati. But yes, our trips to The Dragon being some of the most interesting experiences I have had on a motorcycle. While on the road you meet a lot of people who want pretty much the same thing that you do, a sense of freedom, which is the appeal of traveling by motorcycle, and are the reason that motorcyclists wave to each other when they pass on the road.

The character of Rick Stevens is such a freedom loving person and to understand him correctly I found that he came to life for me somewhere between the Smoky Mountains and Key Largo, Florida. In fact, my wife and I stopped by a McDonalds in between Key Largo and Key West after several days on the road with our tent and a weeks worth of supplies stacked our motorcycle luggage rack and there was a profound sense of freedom that I felt at that moment that I used to create the character of Rick Stevens. I had to ask the question, what if a person lived like this every day? What would happen if a man who had such a profound sense of freedom and a determination to stay that way found himself pulled into a political whirlpool involving a presidential run to the White House. The result is this novel, Tail of the Dragon.

Q: Didn’t you have a lot of trouble with the law yourself, so isn’t there more of Rick Stevens in you than you’re admitting?

A: It’s true I grew up in trouble with the law quite a bit. I’ve received about every type of speeding ticket, and reckless operation citation a person can get, and I’ve been to court more times than I can even remember. Like Rick Stevens I had lost my driver’s license under state mandated suspension till my late 20’s. I do love speed, which is very obvious by the pace of this novel. But after I started raising a family and was driving family type cars, I drove just as fast–I never did slow down—even today. But I stopped getting tickets because the police do pull over a certain kind of driver, and certain types of cars. This is what confirmed my suspicions that the law was crooked in selective enforcement, and that traffic violations have nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with “revenue enhancement,” which is one of the central themes of this novel.

But Rick Stevens unlike me expects the world to be fair and he refuses to budge off the line of what is right and wrong. He’s a very determined character who expects logic in the law, and when he doesn’t get it—watch out.

Q: That brings us to another compelling character in Tail of the Dragon. We’ve talked about motorcycles, but this isn’t a motorcycle chase with the police, it’s a car chase. The car in this novel is unlike anything ever created.

A: That it is. In the story Rick Stevens has been trying to save up the money to fix up an old 1977 Firebird he has from his youth, but he could never come up with the money to restore it, since he was raising a family. So the car was in the garage collecting dust waiting for Rick to come up with the money. He gets it from a political enemy of the Governor of Tennessee who gives him $20 million to fix up his old car and turn it into the supercar that’s in the book.

Q: And it truly is a supercar.

A: Well, it had to be. Again, I think of it as the ultimate pirate ship for the ultimate pirate. Stevens takes the $20 million dollars and converts his old Firebird into an armored tank that can travel at speeds of over 200 MPH, which would be needed if he was going to pick a fight with the state of Tennessee and their highway patrol. He knew that the police would use lethal force to stop him once the chase got started so he put so many gadgets into the car that it would make James Bond jealous.

As a kid I always loved the car in Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang, where the car could do just about anything, including fly, so in that spirit the old Firebird in Tail of the Dragon is a tribute to those great cars designed by Ian Flemming in his literary works that became the early James Bond films and set a level of expectation that hasn’t been matched. So with this story, I wanted to top it. I kept imagining how cool the Hot Wheel car of this Firebird would be in the toy aisle for a 10 year-old-boy, and I designed the car to appeal to all the children under 12 and adults over 30 who have old cars in their garages that they are trying to restore for all the reasons that Rick is, and are finding that money is hard to come by. This is the kind of story that fathers can share with their children in equal joy because both young and old love a cool car that is a strong character of its own.

Q: But what’s most unique about this car is that it’s the first hot rod of its kind that’s “environmentally friendly.” It doesn’t run off fossil fuel, but off of “vegetable oil.” Is that right?

A: Yes, the car has had a Lemans race car engine installed that is based on real technology from Puguet where they have had great success in developing diesel racing engines that can run on biodiesel. They have one engine that they currently use that produces 700 HP, so that gave me the idea to use that technology to solve a unique problem that always comes up in car chase stories—how do the bandits get gas, because in long, involved, and violent car chases, the last option of the police would be to shut down all the fuel stations along the chase route to starve the bandits of gas? So if a bandit/runaway pirate like Rick Stevens wishes to survive a massive car chase, he has to solve the problem of how he can refuel, otherwise he will simply run out of gas and he’d be gunned down with no place to go.

One thing that is very common, especially in the American South are lots of free-standing fast food restaurants that have plenty of waste veggie oil they keep in large containers behind their buildings. Rick hopes that by resurrecting his beloved car to a diesel engine power plant with a vegetable oil conversion kit, which is actually technologically feasible, then he can solve his refueling problems no matter what the police do, because law enforcement won’t be able to deny him of that source of fuel while on the run.

Q: So this is the first car chase in history that is “environmentally friendly.”

A: You could say that. Veggie oil is an alternative fuel that makes no sense to me why we don’t explore it as an alternative to diesel fuel. If I were a truck driver in America, I’d be pretty upset by the cost of diesel fuel, and I’d be looking for alternatives. So I wanted to make that technology known to a wider audience by making it a central story point in this novel, so people could learn that there are options to traditional fossil fuel available right now. Using those alternative fuel sources will help drive costs down by relieving demand and creating a more competitive market in the fuel processing businesses. So it only makes sense as an option that I think people should be utilizing. In Tail of the Dragon Rick Stevens uses veggie fuel to stay one step ahead of the law.

Q: I don’t want to give anything away, but I will have to say that I didn’t know how this story would end. It’s intense right up to the very last paragraph and I couldn’t put it down, especially the last 80 pages. There was just one cliffhanger after another and the story didn’t stop. There were action scenes that were just incredible, that’s the only way I know to describe them.

A: Well, I’m glad to hear it, because that was my intention. When I was a kid I played with a lot of toy cars, and I imagined every imaginable chase sequence possible by the human mind, so when I sat down to write Tail of the Dragon, I was able to go back and relive those childhood moments with the wisdom and reality of being an adult that has spent over 20 years traveling at a high rate of speed. So the car chase in this novel is a culmination of 44 years of playing on my behalf with the idea of the car chases that are in it. I wrote the scenes the way I’ve always wanted to see them, but so far every other story ever made has fallen short in some way.

I’ve read a lot of books, and car chases don’t typically play out well in literature, but as a tribute to my favorite car chases from movies, I wanted to apply one to literature as a mechanism to advance a very intense plot. So I thought of the great car chase stories like Road Warrior, Thunder Road, Vantage Point, Smokey and the Bandit, Hooper and many others and wanted to bring them into the modern world of advanced police tactics and superior technology. I didn’t want the police to be stumbling buffoons like they are typically in the old 70’s car chases, but worthy adversaries, which greatly increased the level of tension and made this story one of a kind. I’m very proud of what ended up on the printed page and the images it congers up in the mind.

Q: And that brings us to the point of the book. Without giving anything away, what is the point, because to me this novel works on many different levels? I mean you can blast through this novel in one sitting, or over a weekend. And you can read it several times and still take away more on the third and fourth reading. There are messages in it that seem to resonate to a much deeper philosophical yearning.

A: For me the point of the book is to get to the final pages, literally the last four pages. All the billions of dollars of destruction, the carnage, the audacious disregard for the law is to take the characters and the readers on a journey to a place beyond the law of mortal human beings to a place I believe all of humanity is clamoring for, but they just don’t know how to get there. We have a culture that is addicted to safety, to laws; too many chains we willingly place upon ourselves in a grand scheme to have an advanced and fair society. But that’s not what we’re getting; we’re finding our freedoms being eroded away slowly and beyond our control, and the common cause is in our tendency to be driven by our fears by politicians and social do-gooders.

So the characters in Tail of the Dragon decide that life is moving by too quickly and they have a shot to pull those chains off for the first time in their lives, and they make the leap for freedom even if it means their death. This is why the planned provocation of the highway patrol takes place on the Fourth of July because the characters are declaring their freedom, even though they are fully aware they probably won’t live to see a sun set. The yearning for freedom is that important to them.

As a literary device I used many mythological symbols to take the characters to the edge of social acceptance to arrive at a life beyond the laws of mankind to learn the meaning of their existence, to touch the face of what they were meant to be. To step beyond the limits that all the social devices of our age place upon us as shackles, the characters had to break all the rules and reach for their human potential beyond the reach of the law to truly understand. The point of the chase is actually a metaphor for how society as a whole seeks to hold individuals to the limits of the law. And to the point of Tail of the Dragon, the law is made up primarily of social reformers who have control and manipulation in mind, and not the needs of the people in general. So the conflict works at many levels, and the characters are both running to it and from it so they can smash through some invisible social barrier they have no way to understand, until it’s too late.

Of course if everyone in society acted on these impulses, there would be chaos. But in the name of art, we can explore these emotions through these characters so that the reader can break free like Rick Stevens into the world beyond politicians, legal manipulation, and guilt ridden morality to a place where the human being can be everything that it was meant to be. And in Tail of the Dragon, even though the results are tragic, the hero quest is in the pursuit of this freedom that is uniquely American, a freedom I touched on so often during my motorcycle trips, that exists just out of our reach.

Q: So when does it come out and what’s in the future for Tail of the Dragon? What about a sequel, or a series? This has to become a movie.

A: Well, again, not to give anything away, I don’t think there could be a sequel. That’s all I can say about that. But the book should be out within months. The publisher has not given me a firm release date yet, which was pushed out in the last-minute because of a change by me to the manuscript during my final reading approval. But it will be very soon. As to a movie, I think that may be a possibility. But for now, I mean for it to be a literary experience that is very personal to the reader. This is a journey that is intended in a language only a book can provide. I envision that there will be many readers clamoring for a taste of freedom on long motorcycle trips like the ones my wife and I enjoy going on that will pack this book in their side bags and pull off at that McDonalds between Key West and Key Largo and just rest for a while and cool off while reading Tail of the Dragon over a Big Mac like I’ve enjoyed doing over the years on many occasions. I have no doubt that the visitors to the mountain cabins around the actual Dragon will buy the book and enjoy reading it in the early morning mist that hovers around the mountains and contemplate the grand adventure of Rick Stevens and his epic car chase. A book is a personal journey that is deeply intimate for the reader, and as a lover of books, I put everything the written word can articulate into Tail of the Dragon to provide for readers an adventure they will never forget and yearn for again and again.

Stay tuned!!!! –And pass this on to a friend!

Attack of the “Salami Slicers”: A brief history of Communist infiltraton in America

I am actually surprised when I meet a teacher or a college professor who does not believe in communism in some form or another, because most of them are what the KGB called “salami slicers.” “Salami slicers” is a term that was used in the 1969 publication by Victor Vashi called Red Primer for Children and Diplomats that described the peaceful coexistence between Communists and their opposition, while the true intention was to destroy their opposition with a two-way sneak attack. In the meat industry tiny parasites known as infiltrators are put inside the salami and eat out the center of the meat while everything looks normal on the outside. In Vashi’s example this is what has been done–Communist infiltrators have been injected inside American culture while the Communists work on the outside. You can see the entire work of Vashi at this link:

http://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-tools/red-primer-for-children-and-diplomats-t2223.html

That link shows to what extent Communists wish to rule the world and in America, the “salami slicers” came from teachers educated in the 1950’s and 1960’s by implanted KGB agents. These impressionable youth who declared their lives to the art of teaching are today’s “progressive” which is simply a mask for Communism. That is why I am generally excited when I meet a teacher who is not a Communist/progressive. Most of them are softer variations of people like Bill Ayers shown here in a video just a few days old from the University of Oregon.

People like Ayers was created by their generation with KGB infiltration that McCarthy tried to warn us about in the 1950’s, which had been taking place right out in the open and everyone knew it. Before the “salami slicers” cut into the core of America and robbed our youth of their ability to spot a threat from within their midst’s, people like Bill Ayers had found themselves corrupted through the music, the literature, and the propaganda seeping subtly through the Hollywood entertainment machine. There were hearings to root out these “salami slicers” and a group called the “Hollywood Ten” went to jail for their Communist involvement. Sadly many Americans at the time believed that Communism should have been protected under the First Amendment, but those unfortunate souls did not understand the level of evil that Communism had in mind for America. So many came to the defense of the “Hollywood Ten” and would continue to support progressive causes for years thereafter. Bill Ayers is of this group of activists who decided that America was an imperial power that must be brought down. Little did he and thousands of other hippie, education types know, they were carrying out a plot designed by global Communists to end the American way of life.

I was lucky to grow up in a time when the schools had not yet been so infiltrated with “salami slicers” that people still were able to think and process information. When I was in my teenage years, Rocky 4 was all about fighting the great Soviet threat, and the movie Red Dawn showed Soviets landing in America and taking over our country. I remember vividly how these anxieties felt. As a kid I was a tremendous fan of the films by John Milius and Red Dawn was the film of my generation that attempted to let society know they needed to beware of the great Red threat of Communism.

But the threat did not come from the skies with parachutes and the occupation of troops on American soil. Instead they landed in America through our colleges and infested our youth with dreams of Communism and an end to imperial America without realizing they were cheerleading for a larger imperial threat, the Soviet Union.

Under the guidance of Ronald Regan the Soviet Union spent themselves into oblivion attempting to keep up with the capitalism of America. The Soviet Union watched their country disintegrated under financial collapse, a plan they are now using on America right now. But they did not worry, because the idea of Communism had already been planted, and the tactics outlined in the Red Primer for Children and Diplomats was well underway. Communism through the propaganda machine of the Soviet Union had spread into China, North Vietnam, North Korea, Central America and many Latin American countries to lesser degrees like Brazil and Venezuela along with Cuba directly to America’s south. These were the threats from the outside, the open Communist threats on the outside of the salami. They were the visible threat that America could send helicopters and troops to go and fight. But inside the salami were the “salami slicers” who were subverting American culture with teachers like Bill Ayers teaching our youth not to fight, to have a peaceful coexistence with the world, and to embrace global unification, to become pacifists. The goal of modern education was to create empty minds that would do what they were told and have the prime objectives to get drunk at BW3’s on a Saturday afternoon with friends and root for their favorite sports teams while the enemies of America ate away the inside of our country from within. The “salami slicers” have been busy for many years and have not just eaten away the meat of our country, but the brains of our people.

And little by little we have watched as our zombie-like American citizens sit by and drool from their mouths with inaction given to them in public education and their colleges where they cannot even recognize an enemy when they see it. Bill Ayers and his attackers of “salami slicers” have achieved much of what they set out to do nearly 50 years ago by the Communist desire to take over the entire planet. It’s happening right now with yet another news release of what is being planned for the American people revealed on the Alex Jones program.

Most of you reading this have probably never heard of Victor Vashi and his Red Primer for Children and Diplomats. You probably know very little about the McCarthy hearings but think they are bad because Matt Damon said they were bad, and you like Matt Damon—so whatever he says, you’ll believe. And you probably don’t know much about Bill Ayers, who just so happens to be a mentor to President Obama—the first President in American history who is obviously intent on fulfilling the goals of destroying the great American Empire once and for all, to fulfill a quest for global Communism that started before either one of those men were even born. They do what they do because they are “salami slicers” and their role was told in Vashi’s short comic produced from 1967-1969 in an attempt to wake Americans up to the destruction that was coming from within. But as we see in the world around us, the “salami slicers” have already eaten out much of the heart that was America.

That is why I am surprised to find a teacher in the education industry these days who is not a “salami slicer.” The sheer numbers of participants who openly advocate global socialism as a path to tyrannical Communism is just simply baffling unless it is considered that in universities all across America during the time of the McCarthy hearings of the 1950’s, the seeds were successfully planted in our education system, and after only 40 short years Communist infiltrators managed to do what trillions of dollars in military might could never buy them, a subversion of capitalism and the lingering strategy to convince all Americans to trade their freedoms in for chains, so that their “safety” could be guaranteed for the future. The emphasis of “safety” over “freedom” is the ultimate work of the “salami slicers,” leaving no core for America to grab on to. Like Bill Ayers said just a few days ago, it’s just a matter of time.

But not all of us have allowed these “salami slicers” into our minds to eat our brains. And so long as that is the case, there is always hope. Personally, when I look for hope, I almost always turn to Uncle Walt. Think of him next time you visit Disney world, or watch the great films produced by his famous company which is putting out Avengers this weekend. His company may be “modernized” these days with employees who view themselves as “progressives” but good ol’ Disney was from a time before the “salami slicers” attacked, and he was one of the first to call them what they really were. That’s how we can know just how much of our core has been eaten away, and why saying Communists have corrupted American culture is not a far off whim of fantasy, but a fact of sad reality displayed by the overwhelming evidence.

The “salami slicers” of your life are the people who tell you that this is all wrong, that this is all a right-winged conspiracy, that it’s “old-fashioned.” You can tell your enemy by those who use those types of words. They are your personal “salami slicers” and they are as common in your life as rain drops in a hurricane.

After America: Numbers from the terror mentioned in Mark Steyn’s book

Watch this! In fact, watch every single video on this posting at least once. Then send this link to your friends and family. Your lives depend on it.

Oh, dear reader—not all of you—because most come to this site to gain a foothold into just a bit of sanity in a world gone mad……………..but some of you…….the ones who hate me, and wish I would just stop————you are reading here out of anger hoping to find some way to twist my words around so you can end my work. You are reading here to preserve your way of life—because you are a government employee of some kind, or perhaps you are one of the idiots who found yourself seduced many years ago by the womanizing Lyndon B. Johnston and his Great Society, and you want to stop what I put up on this site every day. You wonder why people like me just don’t shut up and pay our taxes. You want me to just work, and work, and work to pay for the mindlessly insane programs you and your politicians voted for—and you expect me to support them with my value for the rest of my life. Well, I have news for all you fools of the Great Society, and of Roosevelt’s “NEW DEAL,” I don’t want it, I’m not going to support it with a quiet nod of obedience, and certainly don’t want the worth of my work to be poured into the useless abyss of more government. One of the reasons for my growing abhorrence of public education and government programs in general is articulated wonderfully in Mark Steyn’s most recent book, After America. You can see a public speaking engagement from Steyn below in four parts to get more of a taste of who, what, when and where our nation has went wrong, and why doing more of the wrong behavior will not solve the problem.

In a government gone mad the current debt per person if equated out over 306 million Americans is $13,072, but because of progressive politics, not everyone pays taxes. In fact, it’s only the richest percentage of that number who actually pays tax. The average debt per “taxpayer” is $74,074 divided over 54 million people. That’s what “democracy/communism” looks like and why there are often mindless chants from those who don’t pay much in taxes for taxes to increase—just to clear that up before we get into the really shocking numbers. In fact our debt is so bad due to progressive politics like The New Deal and The Great Society that there soon won’t be enough money in the entire world to pay our debt. Below is just one of the top ten most disturbing statistics from Mark Steyn’s After America. You can see the rest at this link:

http://rightwingnews.com/quotes/the-top-10-most-disturbing-statistics-from-mark-steyns-after-america-get-ready-for-armageddon/

But the one of the most disturbing is this one:

2) John Kichen of the U.S. Treasury and Menzie Chinn of the University of Wisconsin published a study in 2010 entitled:

Financing U.S. Debt: Is There Enough Money in the World — and At What Cost?
The fact that sane men are even asking this question ought to be deeply disturbing. As to the answer, foreign official holdings of U.S. Treasury securities have usually been less than 5 percent of the rest of the world’s GDP. By 2009, they were up to 7 percent. By 2020, Kitchen and Chinn project them to rise to 19 percent of the rest of the world’s GDP, which they say is….do-able. Whether the rest of the world will want to do it is another matter. A future that presumes the rest of the planet will sink a fifth of its GDP into U.S. Treasuries is no future at all. But on Big Government’s streetcar named Desire we have come to depend on the kindness of strangers. — P.10

The federal government is so bad, corrupt, reckless, and blind to any vision of the future that America is spending $126,839 per second. Our government is spending $7,610,350 per minute! Every hour of every day in America we are spending more than $450 million on government programs, on government schools that are ineffective, on government employees like the GSA who have for years indulged in exotic trips to national conferences. On Social Security that is insufficient, Medicare that is plagued with corruption and needless medical expenses, on a military that protects the world at our expense.

Every single day in America we are spending over $11 billion dollars, just to be open for business. Over the course of the year it comes out to over $4 trillion dollars. All that money is spent, and what do we have to show for it? What is the value of the purchased services? Can America stay the greatest country in the world following these numbers? What is left for the children of tomorrow? What happens to the world if America defaults on its debt?

Many people, especially government employees like school teachers and administrators refuse to believe that it is they who are on the leading edge of this chaos. It is they who have taught society now for two decades to embrace global policies rooted in socialism and to end American technological and manufacturing dominance in order to “save the planet.”

Not all teachers in public education are bad, but unfortunately they live in an idealistic world which is formed on the philosophies of Immanuel Kant and Karl Marx, and they seek to bend the rules of reality to their distorted vision. Progressive presidents like Woodrow Wilson was president of Princeton University and was a devastating president that paved the way for a century of gradual American decline. Lyndon B. Johnston was a high school teacher as his first job, and Barack Obama was a teacher at Chicago University, and both of those presidents have shown they are not equipped to head anything resembling an economy. Between the two of them, they are almost exclusively responsible for many of the numbers mentioned above. America does not need more teachers in The White House. History has shown that in so doing America lends itself to the same bankrupt spending habits currently seen in every public school in the country—and our kids are coming out of school being taught by those types of people.

Progressives have “progressed” America right off a cliff, and people like me have every right to demand a return to sanity. I am not committed to continuing the ridiculous programs of the progressive movement. I personally like rugged individualism, I love the spirit of American adventure in the 1800’s and I believe that the “can do” spirit of that period combined with what we know of modern science is the key the world needs. But I do propose a rejection of virtually everything progressive politics has brought to America and recommend sending it back on a ship to Europe to reside there in the Dark Ages of history with the ghosts of Martin Luther (the religious figure) and stacks of former Popes.

Progressivism does not work. It does not work in public education. It does not work in the creation of the welfare state, and it is not the ticket to a free and just society. It is a dismal failure that requires quick assessment, acceptance of malfunction, and rejection by the American people within the decade, otherwise—it will be too late and America will fail on their watch.

So if you are one of the people reading this and you don’t like it—tough! Now, watch this last video at least three times, because it will take that many times for the information to sink in. After watching this you will see that there is no way to continue with the programs of The Great Society. There is no way to maintain the New Deal. There is no way to do anything that President Obama wants to do. If America is to survive, it has to go back to before progressive politics infected our society. That is not inflammatory language. It’s a fact of life. Let Tony Robbins explain it to you now.

The Sirens of Doom at Lakota: Gary Cates pushes a levy attempt?

Gary Cates! What are you talking about? I find it hard to believe that Gary said what he said in the below article at Channel 5’s website. Gary for a long time has stood against the outrageous spending tendencies in public education, especially at Lakota, and in the article he actually encouraged the school board to show leadership to the community so they could pass a levy like Fairfield and Lebanon last year.

http://www.wlwt.com/news/30974866/detail.html?taf=cin

Well, here’s the news flash—Fairfield’s levy barely passed and Lebanon’s was the second attempt in 6 months, and it barely passed. Both of those districts Gary mentioned have huge populations of apartment dwellers who tend to vote for school levies because they don’t directly have to pay for the tax increases, but they do get to go to the nice schools the taxes pay for.

Lakota’s situation is not the same as those districts, so I am surprised Gary brought it up in the same line of dialogue. Lakota’s problem is self inflicted in that they have not controlled their costs. CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAIL AND FOR THE GRIM REALITY. It has nothing to do with generating more revenue. Such a way of thinking is insane and such propionates of nonsense need to check directly into the nearest mental ward.

The article itself is well done by the AP and shows how Lakota is in the same boat as the rest of Ohio. Education costs are simply too expensive, and the employees of education expect too much compensation for too many employees. They need to completely rethink their business model. But throwing more money into the black hole of public education is not the answer.

Gary…….I’m sure your comments were taken out of context—surely? Don’t let the sirens of doom whisper in your ear guiding you onto the jagged rocks of destruction. Cast aside those filthy beasts and don’t let them seduce you into inaction. That’s how things became so screwed up to begin with, as those who came before you caved into the temptation to make peace with the antagonists while they made off with the loot leaving people like you holding the bill.

Keep your hands on the wheel and watch the rocks. We are moving through dangerous waters. Don’t listen to the sirens and their songs of death.
