………………………………………I can’t think of a single good thing to say in support. He lost Issue 2. Gave Obama everything he wanted. And he was one of the first to tag Ohio to Obamacare. He shouldn’t be running for president…………………he should be running from angry voters.
With all the bad things going on, especially the incredible disappointment that Bill Cosby has turned out to be, like anyone else, I like to maintain my sanity with a little good news from time to time. As America was striking a bad nuclear deal with Iran, Donald Trump was calling out the problems of illegal aliens, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton were declaring that the rich needed to be robbed so that their wealth could be redistributed to the poor, I watched closely the events of the San Diego Comic Con where the mythology of the upcoming year’s movies were released to a public hungry for hope. Specifically to that point was a Star Wars panel for the upcoming film, The Force Awakens where all the actors came to speak about the film, and to my surprise Harrison Ford showed up for what I think is the first time since his plane crash in March of 2015.
Harrison Ford has purposely stayed away from the character he made so popular, Han Solo for nearly 40 years now so it was surprising to me to see him promoting the film with a bit of emotion to his voice. Han Solo as I’ve said before is by far my favorite character, so much so that I wore a Han Solo t-shirt that I happen to love the day of his famous plane crash in Santa Monica—much to the down turned mouths of many who deal with me on a daily basis. I personally like Harrison Ford. I don’t like his ear-ring, but I like the actor as one of my favorite all time movie personalities. He has had that ear-ring since he turned 50 years old. I can say now that I’m close to 50 myself, that I have absolutely no desire to get an ear-ring of my own. It’s just not going to happen, under any circumstances. But I think otherwise, he’s a good guy, so I watched his portion of The Force Awakens panels intensely—as a pleasant distraction from the news of the day.
It was announced recently that there will be future Han Solo movies as well, which I think is wonderful for a new generation of children. Han Solo is one of the most popular Star Wars characters and it will be great to see more of him in the future. My generation grew up on him in just a few movies, really on the strength of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. So it will be wonderful for the children of today to see a LOT more of him and The Millennium Falcon even is it isn’t Harrison Ford playing the iconic character. There are a lot of things to be worried about regarding our future generations, but Han Solo, and more Star Wars is not one of them. I can remember how much hope it gave me as a young person growing up, and for millions of children growing up in a confusing time with strangely obsessed adults over sexual relationships, Star Wars is wonderfully free of those types of tensions, and allow the mind to expand with imagination in ways that are entirely healthy.
As NASA proudly did their first ever orbit of Pluto some days after the San Diego Comic Con 2015 I couldn’t help but wonder how many of those scientists and technicians were avid Star Wars fans. It’s just a guess, but I’d bet the number is somewhere around 98%. There’s always an oddball out there who represents the 2%. But without question, Star Wars had some major hand in the recent Pluto mission if not but in inspiring thousands of engineers, astrophysicists and mathematicians to pursue science degrees because Star Wars inclined them to learn about worlds beyond the borders of earth. I’m not crazy about everything that Disney does. I did not appreciate them joining the White House in putting rainbow colors on their famous castle. I do not like their progressive politics, I understand that a lot of creative people tend to lean toward the political left, and Disney as a company has a lot of creative people working within it. I think also that Uncle Walt would roll over in his grave over a lot of things the company Disney does. But……….what they are doing with Star Wars is very powerful and will be absolutely inspiring to a new generation of youth. For many, it may be the most important thing that happens in their lives, and I am excited for the new films for that reason.
After The Force Awakens panel everyone in that hall, Harrison Ford included went over to watch a John Williams inspired concert celebrating Star Wars music, and I loved watching the enthusiasm from thousands of fans of all ages. But most of all it was Harrison Ford who really drove the point home. Here was a man who has been a marvelous personal success. He’s a real life pilot and will always be known as Indiana Jones. But before Indiana Jones there was Han Solo and Harrison Ford gave his fans what they wanted most, an endorsement of these new Star Wars films by the legend himself. No future endeavor without George Lucas being directly involved would be accepted unless Ford put his stamp of approval on the work, and that happened at the San Diego Comic Con in a way that is reshaping movie history as we speak. And the ramifications of that will be incredibly positive for our culture as a human race. So for just a bit I saw a glimmer of hope that I was very relieved to see. At the core of that hope was Harrison Ford, complete with a fresh scar from his crash on his forehead. For a guy who was 72 years old and had every excuse not to, Harrison Ford moved mountains of hope for future children in a way that politicians can never contemplate over thousands of years of attempting. For those children of the future, I was very happy.
Did you ever wonder dear reader why so many liberals want an open border policy with Mexico, and why they want to pull Republicans into amnesty debates with illegal aliens? Did you ever wonder why they are seeking to overwhelm the American welfare system with illegal immigrants and why they want to change the name to something more “respectful?” It is good to ask questions. It is even better to know history. It is extremely important to understand Mexico itself and the extreme liberal investment that progressivism has made into the region for the last hundred years so to properly understand the politics of the present. Specifically it is important to understand that the Constitution of Mexico written in 1917 was essentially a Marxist revolution that was as radical as the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Union. They were spreading communist banter among the working poor years before Cuba fell to communism leading the entire Central American region to teeter politically with communism and socialism. That disease would then spread down into South America where it has impoverished every country south of the United States border for a century now. And presently, the communists are banking on flooding America with the descendents of this revolution through a weakness for illegal narcotics and praying for a revolution in the United States of an even greater socialist uprising. Mexico as it is today is a socialist region with roots in radical communism and they are not friends to our capitalist country. They are drowning on their choice of socialism and the political left is using them to topple American capitalism by flooding our political system with people trained to think like socialists spreading their roots into Marxist expectations. Here is some of the history of the Mexican Revolution for reference.
The Mexican Revolution (Spanish: Revolución mexicana) was a major armed struggle that started in 1910, with an uprising led by Francisco I. Madero against longtime autocrat Porfirio Díaz, and lasted for the better part of a decade until around 1920.[5] Over time the revolution changed from a revolt against the established order to a multi-sided civil war with frequently shifting power struggles amongst factions in the Mexican Revolution.
This armed conflict is often categorized as the most important sociopolitical event in Mexico and one of the greatest upheavals of the 20th century;[6] it resulted in an important program of experimentation and reform in social organization.[7]
A number of Mexicans began to organize against Díaz’s policies that had welcomed foreign capital and capitalists, suppressed nascent labor unions, and consistently moved against peasants as agriculture flourished. In 1905, a group of Mexican intellectuals and agitators who had created the Mexican Liberal Party (Partido Liberal de México), drew up a radical program of reform, specifically addressing what they considered the worse aspects of the Díaz regime. Most prominent in the PLM were Ricardo Flores Magón and his two brothers, Enrique Flores Magón and Jesús Flores Magón. They along, with Luis Cabrera Lobato and Antonio Díaz Soto y Gama, were connected to the anti-Díaz publication, El Hijo de Ahuizote. Political cartoons of José Guadalupe Posada lampooned politicians and cultural elites with mordant humor, portraying them as skeletons. The Liberal Party of Mexico founded the anti-Díaz, anarchist newspaper, Regeneración, which appeared in both Spanish and English. In exile in the United State was Práxedis Guerrero, who started an anti-Díaz newspaper in San Francisco, Alba Roja. Although leftist groups were small in number, through their publications they became highly influential and helped articulate the reasons to oppose the Díaz regime. Francisco Bulnes (politician) described these men as the “true authors” of the Mexican Revolution for agitating the masses.[20] As the 1910 election approached, Francisco I. Madero, an idealistic, political novice and member of one of Mexico’s richest families, funded a newspaper Anti-Reelectionista, in opposition to the continuous re-election of Díaz.
Labor began organizing, then striking against their employers for better wages and more just treatment. Demands for better conditions for labor were part of the Liberal Party Program, drawn up in 1905. Mexican copper miners in the northern state of Sonora taking action in the 1906 Cananea strike, where, among other grievances, they were paid less than U.S. nationals working in the mines.[21] In the state of Veracruz, textile workers struck in January 1907 at the huge Río Blanco, Veracruz factory, the world’s largest, against unfair labor practices, especially the payment of wages in credit that could only be used at the company store.[22]
One of the major issues that faced Obregón’s early post-revolution government was stabilizing Mexico. Regional caciques (chiefs) were still fighting each other in small skirmishes. The populace was demanding reforms, promised by the 1917 constitution. Many issues faced the working poor, such as debt peonage and company stores that kept the populace poor. The military had generals who wanted to overthrow the regime and take power for themselves. There were also foreign governments, primarily the United States, who feared Mexico would take a communist turn such as Russia was to do in 1918. Obregón was in a difficult position; he had to appeal to both the left and the right to ensure Mexico would not fall back into civil war.
With regard to the masses, Obregón, who was conservative but still a reformer, started listening to demands to appease the populace. Obregón’s first focus, in 1920, was land reform. He had governors in various states push forward the reforms promised in the 1917 constitution. These were, however, quite limited. Former Zapatistas still had strong influence in the post-revolutionary government, so most of the reforms began in Morelos, the birthplace of the Zapatista movement.
Despite pressures from the U.S., Obregón flirted with the newly formed USSR. To appeal to intellectuals and left-leaning peasants, official Mexican propaganda began having a very Marxist spin. Murals with Lenin and Trotsky began to appear in government buildings. Despite the sympathy towards socialism, the government began to ferment nationalism amongst the peasantry. This was accomplished by memorializing revolutionary figures and creating anti-western murals. Among the artists employed was Diego Rivera, who had a Mexican nationalist and Marxist tinge to his government murals. Despite these moves towards an anti-western and pro-socialist regime, Obregón did not separate the Mexican economy from foreign capitalists, allowing free trade with some restrictions.
Meanwhile, in 1927 another military coup was attempted, this time receiving support from land owners. Calles quickly crushed the rebellion with help from the newly mobilized peasant battalions, who later on were used to fight against the Church. In the midst of the mobilized worker’s militias, land reform, and anti-church actions, the American government began to openly declare Mexico a Bolshevik regime. To recover from the backlash, Calles began to tone down the radical rhetoric and slowed land reform policies in 1928. A year later, Calles defeated the church ending the rebellion.
After the war ended in 1929, supporters of Calles and Obregón began to form a united political party called the National Revolutionary Party or PNR. This was to unite the various revolutionary factions of the civil war to prevent further Cristero revolts and build stability.
After a series of interim presidents controlled by the party, Lázaro Cárdenas took power in 1934. Cárdenas was a socialist and began to base government policy on class struggle and empowering the masses. However, not all of his reforms were completely socialist, making him somewhat more centrist than purely socialist. Regardless, his rule was the most radical phase of the post revolution, social revolution.
Now, if you look at the violence that took place in Iran during the 70s, it is important to understand that it was a Marxist philosophy that was being implemented against an aristocratic regime friendly to the United States. China of course in the late 40s was taken over by communism, Cuba was hit with communism in the late 50s and of course the Soviet Union fell to communism during the early part of the Twentieth Century. And at that exact same time as communists were taking over the U.S.S.R, Marxism was attempting to rise in Mexico under the guiding help of progressive intellectuals. They of course didn’t call it communism in Mexico, until the socialist regimes were firmly in control with a social justice oriented constitution. It took about thirty years to fully reveal what they had really been trying to achieve with their revolution. The same slow flood of communism is still moving across the earth, Europe is now drowning with it, all of South America is submitting to it and in all of Asia, only Japan and South Korea are reminiscent of capitalist countries. Then there is the United States where progressives within American culture are trying to overtake the political system of the freest country on earth with a socialist revolution by flooding the borders, then giving amnesty to the illegal aliens to vote socialist in upcoming elections and topple the country away from capitalism into socialism, then communism.
This move has already been underway within black communities. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW. Communists have been working within the black communities for years to exploit them away from capitalism and to embrace socialism. The proof of what that strategy has created can be seen in Detroit, which presently looks much the way Tijuana does in Mexico. Everywhere that socialism takes root, the lights of hope go out in people and their roads begin to litter with crime and dilapidated evidence of finer times. The most disgusting place I’ve ever visited was the suburbs of Cancun, Mexico. It was unbelievable to me that such a slum could exist so close to so much wealth and investment as the resort city is known for. But the socialism has killed the town and left them completely at the mercy of tourism and foreign investment. I have felt incredibly sorry for the people of Mexico suffering under the socialism of their nation, and the corruption of their government. Hope is gone from their eyes, and it is truly sad—and that same look is in all eyes of every human being in every socialist country—from the slums of Rio to the shanty towns of the African continent, to the once great streets of Greece. All those places have parents who would sell their daughters to sex slavery to buy a loaf of bread—and that is so incredibly sad. And it is those people that progressives in America want to send to voting booths to keep Democrats in power by redistributing wealth directly to the poor in exchange for a vote. And Republicans are foolishly playing along with the game to their own demise, because they don’t know history and underestimate the radical intentions of the communists within.
And the assault continues. Left leaning revolutionaries are now in the American White House and their military objective is to overwhelm our capitalist system for a socialist regime change and they are using Marxist trained illegal immigrants to topple our economy. It’s not a matter of humanity for those insurgents, they are but pawns in a century long military struggle sharing with the world a philosophy rooted in Karl Marx. The great evil has destroyed many lives, which is obvious the moment one travels south of the American border-anywhere. And that evil is coming to America—not in the innocent lives used as political pawns, but in what they bring with them. Communism and a love for it.
How corrupt is Mexico, for those who think that Donald Trump’s comments were over-the-top? You know people……………………….when I wrote the Cliffhanger story, Sacrifice of Santa Maurta, I was trying to teach you about these things. In story form, I wanted to instruct normal Americans how drug cartels work and demonstrate how close they were to actual governments—who often operate in much the same fashion. There really isn’t much difference between a drug cartel and something like the Mexican, or U.S. governments. They all operate as organized crime operations that either confiscate money under force, or push products that are deemed illegal by a rival gang to a market hungry for the product. After watching the many scandals of the recent White House and the Saul Alinsky mobster-like defense of those actions, the conclusion that the federal government is reminiscent of the many mobster families over time that have taken root in America is not outrageous. Organized crime institutions are designed to extract control by using fear to encourage a free population to hand over that control willingly. In the United States, even though the government wants that control, the Bill of Rights prevent their easy acquisition of such power. But in Mexico, they aren’t so fortunate. Their constitution was created in 1917 at the start of global progressivism and has an emphasis on “social justice.” This had the unintended consequence of creating a large central government and a nation of weak individual rights. As a result, since the profit motive has been removed from the population illegal activity to satisfy individual needs rose up, and a nation of corruption has evolved. This has led to the rise, fall, and continuous escapes of one of the largest drug lords in the world, Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, who just last night escaped from a maximum security prison yet again just a few miles west of Mexico City. Obviously he had help in escaping; inside people at the prison who helped him leave custody after the United States had put out a reward of $5 million for information leading up to his capture, which had finally occurred in February of 2014. He was wanted for murder and drug trafficking and was put in prison for what should have been the rest of his life. But just over a year later, he was free once again.
The Mexican people in their progressive society have been deliberately taught not to think through their education system leaving the nation desperately poor and willing to follow the orders of their managing government. In the United States the hope by progressives was that the off-spring of that 1917 Mexican constitution, which is essentially a communist proclamation that guarantees a good job and decent housing to their people, would expand into the United States through illegal immigration by flooding the border with social justice activists whose children would overwhelm American politics and force a military style insurgency against the United States Constitution. The goal is one of emphasis on collective rights versus individual rights. That is the reason that the Washington Cartel for lack of a more appropriate definition wants essentially an open border policy between Mexico and America. The ultimate hope is that as Mexican people assimilate into American culture they will bring with them the demand for social justice that they were raised with in Mexico, and surrender their individual rights to the authority of a government. For instance, in Mexico, the government is responsible for the economy, which has led to massive corruption, and paved the way for drug cartels to essentially run the country—because they are an industry that produces a lot of money—and money is what the Mexican government is responsible for providing. Without having any competition to correct bad behavior, it is far easier for the Mexican government to rely on the drug cartels for their livelihoods than to come up with actual economic stimulus.
In essence, that is what has happened in Mexico. The Mexican government needs the drug trafficking of Guzman to keep them all employed. Since the United States is concerned about drugs illegal flooding their population and destroying the minds of their citizens, Mexico has to pretend that they are against the activity in practice, but from within the country it might as well be the Wild West during the gold rush days. There is no law in Mexico. If you get on the bad side of a drug cartel, they will attempt to kill you, and if you don’t have access to the rocket launchers and military style weapons like they have, you can forget a defense of yourself. It’s an appalling situation.
When Hillary Clinton declares that the drug problem in the United State is the fault of its people with an “insatiable” demand for illegal drugs, she is talking from experience as her husband and his brother used the Arkansas government to traffic drugs into the United States as governor. But she’s only telling half the story. She intentionally takes the burden of behavior away from Mexico and places on the United States emphasizing that the villain is the demand so that she can make subtle arguments against capitalism and free-market manipulation. If she can sell regulation using drugs as an example, she can sell regulation against all businesses—in her mind. But by forcing a stalemate of consensus, she can then pave the way for drug cartels like El Chapo’s Sinaloa cartel to flourish unmolested. As a member of government who also wants some of the indirect benefits of cartel business—as his family has in the past, weakened border patrol agents underfunded, overly unionized, and understaffed have created a situation on the border that makes it easy for Guzman to move his product to American markets. It doesn’t matter to American politicians that the Sinaloa cartel is every bit as violent and dangerous as ISIS is in the Middle East—the antics are overlooked in favor of easy money, and the sex trafficking that many politicians enjoy in Washington D.C. that is also smuggled in through Mexico. For anyone who has been to Cancun, you will know that there is a sex mall called Plaza 21 just down the road from the airport. There is also a place called Pleasure Principal that does in hotel sex visits on the strip. Where does everyone think those girls come from? And what does anybody think happens to them when they are too old to be sexual fantasies for couples, perverted men, and other deviants like corrupt politicians from the United Nations who have “Green” seminars in such places to bring the focus of the world on global environmentalism—they don’t pick those exotic cities for the food—it’s for the drugs and the women. Don’t kid yourself, what happens to those girls after a few years in “the business?”
Guzman was freed because the Mexican government wanted him free. They want his money, and his power—which exhibits precisely why the Mexican Constitution was always such a joke. The emphasis on social justice and collective salvation has left the entire nation ill prepared to deal with economics, morality, and any kind of intellectual ethics. They are a conquered people just trying to scrape by in life. But they weren’t conquered by the capitalism of the United States; they destroyed themselves with a poor political philosophy centered on social justice instead of individual liberty. And out of jealousy, there are cartel members who do hate the United States because it is such a good country, and they have no problem torturing its citizens with death hits whenever possible. They enjoy it with a hint at national pride, because their communist constitution has all but destroyed their people, whereas in the United States where people actually have money to buy their sex trafficked women and their narcotics, the root of that money is a mystery to them that they can only be angry at. And that root is capitalism driven by the free market—which is a threat to drug cartels and government cartels of all types and formalities. To understand more about this very important topic, I’d suggest you read my Cliffhanger series. It goes into more detail at the level of the individual players and their motivations. Personally, I hate drugs, I hate drug cartels, sex trafficking and large government interference because to me they all embody an evil that goes against the heart of every human being—the desire to be free. And now Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman is free, but not because he deserves to be, but because the government wants to enslave everyone else with his tyranny.
Given what we know about the Clinton’s it is likely they had a non-official arm of their 1992 and 2008 campaigns making Confederate Flag buttons to appeal to southern voters without having the official union bug indicating “official” campaign backing so that they could always have deniability later if things went bad. That is precisely the position they find themselves in presently in 2015 as campaign buttons from the past show the Confederate Flag prominently featured on political material featuring them. It’s very easy, all you have to do as a candidate is slide some money under the table to some southern supporters and let them take a design to Cafepress to make and distribute without an official capacity being endorsed by the candidates themselves. But the intent is to perform some gorilla campaigning. I know from experience how the game works as I did similar work for the Perot campaign. I dressed up a scantily clad Penthouse model covering her private parts up with Ross Perot buttons and put her on Fountain Square in Cincinnati to pass out campaign literature. Guess what, it worked, we passed out 10,000 items of campaign literature during lunch hour from very eager voters who just wanted to have their picture taken next to the Penthouse Pet, men and women. The campaign office knew what I was doing, but they needed to have plausible deniability. A friend of mine along with me operated like this for three months up to the election and guess what, we received an invite to spend time with the family in Dallas on election night. We acted on our own, but the hard work was recognized in an “unofficial” capacity.
Up until recently Democrats used the Confederate Flag in promotional ways to win the hearts of southerners. The flag is very important to the south. VERY IMPORTANT. It has taken on an entirely new contemporary meaning against federalism as opposed to its original meaning of slavery support. To understand to what effect this takes place just consider the recent NASCAR mandate against the flag and the massive public outpouring that took place over the 4th of July weekend in Daytona at their yearly summer race. The infield was a sea of Confederate Flags provoked by NASCAR’s weak position in the face of progressivism. And this is where southern Democrats and Progressives suddenly find themselves at odds with each other.
But the case remains that the Confederate Flag is not a part of any Republican racism. That is an incorrect statement. It is in fact that Republicans have done more to free slaves and integrate them into American society than Democrats ever thought of attempting and those Democrats flew the Confederate Flag at nearly every political rally in the south for over a century now. Of course Barack Obama wouldn’t know all that, because he’s not from America. He may have been born in Hawaii, but his mother carried him off to Indonesia where he was raised as a kid. Then he went to school in the coastal East, and they have no idea what the Confederate Flag is. But the Clintons knew, and they exploited that patriotism in exchange for votes.
It was an unintended consequence that present Democrats demonized the Confederate Flag the way they did hoping to paint white supremacy with Republicans. This is the problem with a failed education system that doesn’t know history—teaching people all the wrong things. Democrats were the white supremacists just like Hitler wasn’t a conservative—he was a dictator minded socialist. Any lunatic like the idiot who went into that South Carolina church worshipping swastikas and the Confederate Flag was not an abolitionist Republican. They are more representative of former slave holding Democrats. That’s why it’s important to be smart, and to know history dear reader. Stupid people get facts wrong like these idiots who have attempted to crucify the Confederate Flag without knowing that it’s the flag of their party. Bill Clinton knew that in 1992 and Hillary knew that in 2008. They gave themselves a back door in case they were ever pressed, but they understood they needed to tap into southern Democrats in a traditional way if they had hopes of winning the White House. And to do that, the Confederate Flag was a sure-fire way to stir up southern votes.
It is insanely stupid how many people actually have believed the tripe about Republicans and the Confederate Flag. The two are diametrically opposed. They don’t even belong in the same sentence with one another. Confederate Flags and Democrats have the long history together and it has been well-known for years. Yet because they have nothing left in their bag of deceptive tricks, Democrats are hoping that Republicans will just take the racist allegations without defending themselves—like they usually do—and give Democrats a get out of jail free card on the issue. This is the fault of brain-dead marijuana smoking losers who call themselves progressives and pretend to have an understanding of the past that was shaped by vile, evil people. They say really dumb things that end up biting them in the ass—as this Confederate Flag issue has. And they really can’t refute it because history is not on their side. Those of us, who know history, know better.
If I lived back in the days of slavery in America I would have no doubt been on the abolitionist side of the argument. The Lincoln Republicans against the Jefferson Davis Democrats was essentially the battle lines and I have nothing at all in common with Jefferson Davis—not even remotely. Yet the same progressive tripe who has attempted to associate Republicans with slave ownership and declines to tell black America that Martin Luther King was a Republican—as was Frederick Douglas are now trying to capitalize on the vile hatred of one silly boy from North Carolina into all-out hatred against the Confederate Flag. This is essentially what progressives do—they insist to “progress” beyond tradition and to advance forked tongued debate into redefining the meanings of things to suit their political agenda.
If black America has a right to not be afraid from the sight of the Confederate Flag then “White America” has a right to not hear rap songs about beating white women and killing “crackers,” emerging from the car speakers of teenagers. It also has the right to not see packs of blacks walking down our shopping malls with their pants pulled down under their butt cheeks and behaving like a pack of wild animals ready to pounce on anyone who uses the “N” word while at the same time they use it incessantly—even in their music, that in and of itself is racist. When a race of people can use a word and the other race of people can’t—that is the same kind of hatred that the Confederate Flag supposedly represents—segregation and rule through fear. Yet we’re supposed to buy into the notion that the Confederate Flag represents hate—yet Jay Z is a friend of the current president and is treated within the entertainment culture as royalty for essentially preaching hate on a mass scale within the music industry.
If you want to hear hate speech just listen to an average rap album from just about any musical artist of the modern-day and you’ll hear why people were initially afraid of blacks in the first place—why there were fears of them integrating into our “white” culture. Of course progressives have destroyed the image of the type of blacks who were distinctly Republicans, like Frederick Douglas and instead empowered the worst of their lot to advance the progressive cause of much misery and inner city violence. Progressives don’t teach the mantra of Republican blacks like Martin Luther King—it’s the drug induced types like Snoop Dog and his associates of hate provocateurs within the world of rap who they proclaim are kings of inner city art. And the old timers who were so afraid of those same blacks are whispering “I told you so” from across the folds of time. Rebel flags will fly in the basements of those families for many generations and there will be more hatred bred as a result—more mistrust evoked and the situation will become much, much worse.
Rush Limbaugh was correct when he said that the push against the Confederate Flag was about more than just racism. This argument has sat on the back burner waiting for someone like a Dylan Roof for decades. The moment they had their straw man, progressives launched their attack and the corporate world had to submit out of that ancient guilt of racism that all whites are supposed to feel—because progressives told them to feel it. Well, I don’t feel any guilt—not one ounce of it. Because I know history quite acutely, and I know which party freed the slaves and who stood for a proper black society—and they weren’t people like P Daddy. We are under attack from progressives in every sector of America and they are playing a game of “capture the flag” within our culture. And to them bringing down the Confederate Flag has nothing to do with racism, it has everything to do with capturing the South and bringing them into the fold of a progressive utopia they are trying to design for us all. But I want nothing of their design, and I know I’m not alone. The Rebel Flag will gain in strength, not diminish—especially when it becomes even more taboo than it currently is. And the ramifications of that behavior will be the exclusive fault of the modern progressives. They are the cause of much misery in the world, and they have just thrown fuel on a fire that was already roaring.
Naturally there are a lot of creative people in my family. I of course have a lot of very creative skills, and my wife does as well. Yet we protect those skills of their virtual with the guarded care of a church going virgin from previous centuries. We don’t whore ourselves out to the modern world. We offer our services on our terms. My wife is even stricter about that practice than I am. Her crafts would make a fortune in an open market, but she’s very introverted and doesn’t like to see her creations tended to recklessly in exchange for money. She usually only makes things for members of our family and not the outside world. Naturally my children are very creative as well, and are happiest when they can express themselves in some form of art. That means that when it comes time for gift giving the members of my family usually make things for each other rather than just buying an impersonal gift. That made this last Father’s Day interesting because I had just come off a week of extreme stress, and my oldest daughter was very concerned about me. She captured her feelings in a nice card with some art expressed with the following picture.
My previous week was enough to flatten all but the excessively resolute. It involved first and foremost a legal issue that I can’t talk about at this time because of the entanglements involved. The Grim Reaper came calling. But I take this overman stuff seriously, so I denied its wishes. Just because death wants something, doesn’t mean it gets it. Human beings are a lot more powerful in their self-determination than they are often willing to admit. Additionally, professionally it was one of the most difficult weeks I’ve had in my life—just with all the elements of things coming together at the same time from so many factions of people. When people want to argue the great novel Atlas Shrugged and wonder why there are always only a few people who are competent, they need to walk in my shoes for a week and they’ll understand. Especially this last week. Then at the end of the week there was the Matt Clark radio show which I enjoyed and wasn’t a serious time burden, but did require some focus that was desperately in need of rest. That same morning leading up to the broadcast when I was trying to do some show prep, I had guests from the other side of the world trying to get on a plane to get home and a major meltdown in my professional endeavors that would not allow a retreat from productive enterprise. My kids knew about all this, so my daughter captured my week with that drawing.
When I first saw the picture I thought of Indiana Jones from the movie Temple of Doom. I raised my kids on that movie, so the metaphor was appropriate. Yet it was customized to fit my circumstances appropriately. The hat is more like the one I wear rather than the one Indiana Jones does, and the physical body is more akin to me rather than the linky Harrison Ford. In the picture the hero is trying to climb out of danger on a frail little rope ladder up a treacherous precipice. Parts of the ladder are breaking away leaving nowhere to go but to fail or succeed in climbing hanging on to whatever one can. Even though the picture is a dramatization of reality, it was exactly how the previous week had felt.
There were times during this week of tribulations when I wondered, “why.” Why should I even try to climb up such a rope ladder? Why not just stay on the ground instead of going up such an ominous precipice with a rickety device. The answer is of course for the treasure that resides at the top. Yet I’m not all that interested in treasure, but people I’m loyal to are—so I climb it to retrieve it for them. I climb because they can’t. They want the treasure from the top; I want the adventure of getting it. I actually enjoy the danger of the climb, and that’s what I get out of it. But my kids want my company, they’d rather me stay next to the fire in camp. They don’t want the treasure I retrieve, just my company. So it gets to be quite a challenge to give everyone in your life what they want—including yourself. My daughter understands that and was able to capture her feelings within that seemingly simple picture.
There is no such thing as too much. The circumstances presented require us to succeed or fail, and experience says that the more you push yourself, the more that you can get done in spite of any precipice intent on our destruction. Because in life there are two kinds of treasure, there are those that drop alongside the trails we travel through life. Occasionally someone drops a $20 dollar bill and we might find it because they have traveled that path before us, and lost something we have later found. Perhaps in other times it’s a gold nugget that can bring us riches. But treasures are best found off the paved road, because let’s face it, if you stick to the roads that are paved for our travel, you will only be able to go in life where others have intended to direct you. That’s where the real treasures in life are—the kind that are still unclaimed by any who have come before us. So I spend a lot of time on my own path off of any paved roads looking for treasure that nobody else dares to retrieve. That is where I get a lot of my personal philosophy—off that paved road. But there is danger off that paved path and bad things do happen. The dangers are often hidden until it’s too late. This means you must trust yourself to contend with those dangers in whatever form they present. After a lot of practice, I have an understanding that I can handle anything. But from those watching, it is a dramatic romp through uncharted territory—and can be a little scary.
Father’s Day came and went, but what remained was the nice card given to me that means more than just a picture reflective of a favorite movie. It was an appropriate metaphor. Truth be told I was happy to get back to the camp to enjoy some time with my family because there were times this past week where all the rungs in the ladder did break leaving me hanging by only a rickety rotten rope. That’s when you dig your bloody fingertips into the sides of the cliff and keep climbing regardless of the pain even if only bare bone is left grinding away at the rocky surface. What makes such moments truly worth the effort is the campfire stories that came after—and on Father’s Day 2015 we had more than a few to tell.
It does not escape me; especially when I travel or experience cultures abroad that the cultures mostly seem proud of their histories. Of course the Japanese are proud of the samurai culture which is obvious in their business dealings. Australians are proud of their outback ruggedness, the English of their Empire, the French of their topless beaches, wine and ability to throw down a rifle at the first sign of trouble thinking that Napoleon’s empire was enough to show they had testicular fortitude for the next millennia. Only in America do we find this notion that we should forget our past and reject our historical figures. Like the samurai America had a period of valiant heroes and desperate villains that were exacerbated during the period of time referred to as the Old West. Unlike the samurai warriors of old the Wild West characters exemplified by this period were driven to their glory by guns instead of a sword, and allowed for what may be the first time in all of human history a true path toward individual achievement. The samurai had some of the same noble tendencies as a typical Wild West gunfighter, but the Japanese warrior was usually bound in service to some noble land owner—whereas the cowboy was pursing their own unique life. That is the dramatic difference.
The moment that a few rival motorcycle gangs in Texas fired shots at each other the national American media jumped all over the story personifying the incident as a shoot-out in the Old West hoping to throw logs on the fire of further gun restrictions to prevent the violence. Progressives especially refer to the Old West as if our society had “moved on” beyond such primal achievements. Then once an Amtrak train jumped off the tracks in New Jersey for some unknown reason they filled the airwaves and print media with demands for more tax dollars for such an ancient means of transportation—that was ironically invented during the Old West and the expansion across the New World to the opposite ocean. We’re supposed to feel guilty that the Gold Rush brought out too much greed to mankind, that the saloons across the new nation were filled with gamblers and prostitutes and that the streets were often bathed in blood from so many human beings carrying around personal firearms. We have been told by progressives that our society today is much better because of rules they made and that if only we listened to them, we might someday be more like Europe is today. To accomplish this we are supposed to forget our heroes of the American West, give up our guns, our music, and our culture as if it never was—and that is a mistake of epic proportions.
I remember some of the stunned poetry of William Blake—whom many believed was part of the Illuminati movement that was taking place in America during his young years into the early period that would become the Wild West. By the time there was an American Constitution he was in his mid-thirties and as a painter and poet watched as the New World throw off the chains of a kingly society for the first time in history. There was no “leader” in America—no King Louis, Edward, or Henry and this was extremely unusual to the world stage. In America people made their own way. They were free to pursue their own dreams at risk of peril or plunder and as a result New York City rose up to rival Paris and London in just s few short years. The world was shocked and the bloodshed was considerably less than all the battles between England, Spain and France during the previous centuries. The story goes that the Bavarian Illuminati was the shadow government of the United States working to bring the Scottish Rite to public acceptance through backdoor means to overthrow the grip kings had on the world. In this way “illuminated” individuals could rise up to their own levels of competency without having to suck up to a king in order to achieve success. Blake watched as this experiment blossomed into an extraordinary success which led directly to the freeing of slaves to the invention of the most powerful economy the world had ever seen. And for that the progressives want to erase the memory.
For many the Old West was a hard place. It might have led to direct conflict with Indians, with some despot in a bar over a card game, or dying of ill-health while panning for gold. But, for the first time in human history if a man wanted to make their way in the world to wealth, they could grab a horse, a gun, and head for the horizon to make a life anyway they saw fit. This would be a byproduct of the capitalism invented by Adam Smith as he envisioned the invisible hand of enlightened self-interest in his great book, An inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. That enlightened self-interest would give rise to heroes like Davy Crockett, Wyatt Earp, Kit Carson, and Wild Bill Hickok. It would also give rise to villains like Jessie James, Black Bart and many other railroad tycoons who would attempt to manipulate this new-found capitalism into something like the cronyism of old Europe. But at the center of all this new-found individual independence was the gun which equaled out the big and strong from the weak and soft spirited. Bill O’Reilly’s recent series Legends and Lie deals specifically with this period of western heroes and villains very well.
Progressives despise the Old West and seek at every turn to erase it from history’s memory—and with that the American gunfighter mythology. The reason is that the gun embodies the utilization of westward expansion when mankind for the first time in history had gained individual mobility that gave rise to an economy the world envied terribly. Yet to Americans the gun culture is every bit as important as the samurai sword is to the Japanese or a fortune cookie is to the Chinese. The gun is the symbol in America of individual will and the ability to pursue it to advance the enlightened self-interest of enterprising human beings. This gave rise to new money like the Rockefellers and J.P. Morgan and gave opportunity to inventors like Nicola Tesla and Thomas Edison. The gun and violence of the Old West paved the way for the great inventions of the 20th Century—and without those inventions; mankind would still be in horse and buggies enslaved to kings, queens and stuffy nobility. In America a new kind of economic freedom had emerged and it was driven forth by the gun—which is our history and source of pride.
Nobody ever said that the American West was perfect—or that innocent people were not killed. The times of the samurai were not free of sadness and the Chinese certainly had their fair share of tragedy after being ruled by the Mongols then the subsequent Dynasties of emperors starting with the Yuan. Yet, history remembers those times fondly in their cultures as pictures of ancient heroes litter their artwork. In those cultures the people embrace their past even with all the sorrow left in the wake. In America we are told to run away from history and invent something new—which is really a trick. We are told by modern progressives to run away from Adam Smith and into the arms of Karl Marx and the philosophers of Europe. We are told to give up our guns and independence so that we can be ruled once again by kings and nobility. Those who know history of course avoid that fate. Those who don’t are falling for the trap and future aggression is brewing because of it. But there should never be an ounce of shame regarding the American West or its expansion. For every memory of detriment was a blooming flower of opportunity for somebody who otherwise wouldn’t have had it—and the means for achieving such a feat was the American gun. America became what it did in such a short time not because of any particular president, or any corporation—but because of the enlightened self-interest of Adam Smith’s economic theory and the American guns which preserved that right in the wild days of westward expansion. While it’s true that many people suffered, many more lived for the first time a fate of their own design. And for that we should always remember with great fondness the heritage of our Wild West and the cowboys who experimented for the first time with capitalism as free from government and pinheaded nobility as any human beings under the flag of a new country had ever conceived. And for America it worked and should be copied across the entire world—starting with a reverence for the gun in all its glory.
This is why the Department of Education should be completely eliminated. It is grotesquely ineffective and agenda based politically. The aim of equality so boisterously proposed by government school advocates is only a thinly veiled attempt at state-run parenting. It’s an insult to have them in charge of education. For instance, I first saw the following article from Yahoo News, and found the source article after some checking. Essentially it’s a marketing ploy advocating in favor of two progressive agenda items—one Common Core, the other Net Neutrality and using children to advance both causes. I personally find it insulting that they actually think human beings are stupid enough to believe what they are saying. While many people may be, not everyone is, and while they strive for equality of stupidity for all people, I’m not going to comply, nor will the typical reader of this site. Here is how the article read:
Overall, 63 percent of public schools don’t have access to broadband speeds needed for digital learning. The problem is particularly acute in rural and low-income districts: Only 14 percent in those areas meet high-speed internet targets.
“It’s just very uneven all over the country,” Lan Neugent, executive director of the non-profit State Educational Technology Directors Association.
The Federal Communications Commission approved a $1.5 billion spending cap increase for school broadband and Wi-Fi last year that is expected to significantly boost connectivity. State grants linked to Common Core implementation and collaborations with tech and business leaders are also bridging the gap. But those initiatives could take a year or more to connect thousands of schools and testing started in 29 states and the District of Columbia for 12 million students this year.
In the meantime, they’re resorting to alternatives: Testing students in small groups, busing them to other schools and limiting all other internet access while exams are taken.
Ideally, technology can help eliminate achievement gaps between poor and rural students and their more affluent peers. The shift to online testing, however, reveals how wide the digital divide remains. Districts like Chicago Public Schools with large numbers of low-income students have raised questions about whether their students — who often don’t have access to a computer or the Internet at home — are at a disadvantage.
“The implementation of Common Core is bringing these issues more to the forefront,” said Brian Smith, executive director of the nonprofit Education Trust-West. “But this has been an issue that has plagued communities of color and low-income communities for years.”
Problem number one, if technology is being used in public schools to the extent that they need WI-FI internet connections, then the institution itself is not needed. I already argue that modern technology as far as teaching is far superior to an actual union member public school teacher. Teachers may have some success in helping children who have bad parents, or limited financial opportunities, but for the masses of children, public school is ineffective as an institution—other than providing day care for children while parents work. Here is the Department of Education attempting to articulate that the internet is needed to provide education in a brick and mortar school—even to the extent that they are willing to spend money to bus students to locations with better WI-FI connections. People are supposed to actually sympathize with that nonsense. It’s an insult to assume that normal people are stupid enough to not see what is going on with that ridiculous assumption.
Then of course is the not so subtle marketing of public education services by stating that technology can help erase the gaps between poor and affluent—as if government schools were the great equalizers of society. They aren’t. You could give a poor kid in South Chicago a brand new laptop and it would likely be destroyed within a few weeks, sold for drug money, or riddled with pornography because the parents of the poor child were terrible and instilled limited values on the unfortunate sapling. I’ve known lots of people from poor neighborhoods and tried to help them all. You can’t make bad people into good just by being nice to them, or giving them a fair shake. They have to change their values. A drunk has to value soberness to want to quit. The illiterate has to value reading to break their curse. A poor person has to want to be productive; otherwise they will continue to be poor. Until you work on the core values of a society, nothing can stop their progress on the Vico cycle. Nothing—no amount of money, no feel good public education experiment—no billions of dollars spent on the internet. The internet is useless without the desire to learn something from it. The internet doesn’t just magically make everyone equal with opportunity. Stupid people will use it for porn. Smart people will use it for knowledge. In order for everyone to be equal, everyone has to either want to be stupid or smart. Public education as indicated by the Department of Education has decided that the best way to make everyone equal is to make the smart into the stupid and then hope that government can manage the chaos of the Vico cycle that follows. But they can’t, and they will never learn to. Because the phase after anarchy is always theocracy, and when that happens the Department of Education will be eliminated anyway in favor of a new god to worship and the whole mess starts over again.
Well everyone isn’t stupid, or have plans on joining the ranks. For them, the Department of Education insulted their intelligence with such a stupid release of information flowed down to the orthodox media. It shows just how astonishingly ignorant those in charge at the Department of Education really are. I mean I don’t think much of them anyway, but to not understand the basic concepts of the Vico cycle—it’s just preposterous. Sad and ignorant that such people are employed by tax payer dollars. That—is the real insult.
Does anybody see a similarity between the IRS administrator Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton? Isn’t it odd that both are constantly embroiled in controversy that requires congressional testimony, and both have hard drives on their computers that just happen to be destroyed? That is just a wild and crazy phenomenon. It seems almost supernatural! But—evidence never really goes away, even when hard drives are destroyed when it comes to email. Welcome to the 21st century. Here’s how MSN reported a very interesting story concerning Lerner.
An inspector general investigating the IRS’s improper scrutiny of Tea Party groups has found thousands of emails from Lois Lerner, the agency official at the center of that controversy, according to committees involved in the probe.
Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration (TIGTA) said it found roughly 6,400 emails either to or from Lerner from between 2004 and 2013 that it didn’t think the IRS had turned over to lawmakers, the congressional committees said. The committees have yet to examine the emails, aides on Capitol Hill said.
The IRS said last year that Lerner’s computer crashed in 2011, leaving it unable to reproduce an untold number of her emails over the prior two years.
Of the emails the inspector general found, around 650 were from 2010 and 2011, while most were from 2012. The inspector general found about 35,000 emails in all as it sought to recover emails from recycled back-up tapes.
Aides said there would likely be some duplicates among the emails that would have been turned over to Congress in previous document productions.
The IRS’s admission that it couldn’t find Lerner’s emails gave a spark to congressional investigations into the IRS, which apologized in May 2013 for singling out Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status. At the time, the agency said it had routinely recycled tapes backing up emails before the controversy broke in 2013.
Lerner, who headed up an IRS division overseeing tax-exempt groups, was quickly placed on leave and eventually retired from the agency in September 2013. The House voted to hold her in contempt of Congress last year, but the U.S. attorney in Washington declined to move forward with those charges.
In a statement, the IRS said it was glad to hear that the inspector general found the new Lerner emails, calling it “an encouraging development that will help resolve remaining questions and dispel uncertainty surrounding the emails.”
Eventually, Lerner is going to get caught whether it is in these emails, or some method not yet discovered. Clearly she intended to destroy evidence with the IRS as an organization backing her up. And that dictates that somebody, or many somebody’s, are punished for the obstruction of justice. If she were innocent, she wouldn’t have taken the Fifth and would have let the evidence speak as testimony. Guilty people avoid talking and destroy evidence. Guilty people have a reason to engage in cover-ups.
Hillary Clinton is engaged in the same type of behavior. So where’s the outrage, and how many others just like these two people are doing the same thing? Think about it, are we supposed to believe that it’s just these two ladies doing this kind of activity and not the millions of other government employees included to use the same strategies for the same motivations? Where is the line drawn—is it government employees only at a high level, or do they have to be connected directly to the president, or are there yet some other criteria not yet declared?
Likely the real answer is that the culture of the government employee breeds this type of corruption by its very nature. It is the preferred MO of the government scam artist—and Hillary is certainly one of those types—and so was Lerner. The guilt is obvious. The question is, when the evidence is finally stuck to their foreheads, like it will be—what will we do with it? Turn away, or inflict penalty—as it deserves. That is a question that remains to be seen. As quickly as the evidence is being uncovered, that time will come soon enough.
