Save Money by Voting NO on Liberty Township Police Levy: Cops are like weeds in a garden

Police put out their signs for the upcoming May 6th replacement levy vote trying to convince homeowners to further accept high taxation as an acceptable means of community management of resources. To be honest, I have lived in Liberty Township for most of my 46 years, give and take a decade or so here and there, and have never had to call the police except to file a report. So long as I have the Second Amendment, they don’t do anything for me except show up after a crime is committed. I noticed that the big tax local Rino Republicans like Christine Matacic are supporting this tax along with my old friends the Terrys at the Carriage Hill development. They are conservatives of convenience. Carriage Hill is openly trying to bring in more people to the community so they can make money off them. Those outside investments enjoy police cars sitting around especially if those voters come from California or the New England states—it makes them feel safe. And Matacic is running for Butler County commissioner and wants the backing of the FOP in whatever form she can get it. But that doesn’t mean the rest of us should pay for their desires. This is what I submitted to the Today’s Pulse as a “Letter to the Editor” which should appear in the upcoming weekend edition on the matter.

Save Money; vote “NO” on Liberty Township Police Levy

There have been some complaints about how high the taxes are in Liberty Township especially after the Lakota levy took effect in 2014. Sheriff Jones supported that levy saying that some of the money gained from levy approval would go toward police in Lakota schools. Now just a few months’ later Liberty Township trustees are supporting a “replacemet” levy to pay for those same additional Lakota police officers coming up on the May 6th ballot. The signs from the police are already up.

Of course the argument is that taxes will not increase but will in fact cost $94 per $100,000 in property assessment to fund $2.5 million in projected spending for the 2014 police fund. Clearly the police and the school are double dipping in their projection numbers. The sheriff lives in Liberty Township and since he came out in favor of the Lakota levy, then it should be his task to figure out how to provide police coverage for his community without additional taxes.

This time they won’t be able to say that the tax is “for the kids.” This election is a chance to take back some of the money wrestled away from us during the Lakota election of November 2013. It is a chance to lower our taxes during a time when that’s what most everyone needs. I will be voting a big, “NO.” Elections have consequences and by voting NO, voters have a chance to let the police shoulder that burden instead of the homeowners.

When politicians and developers support more police, they are essentially stating that they want police to sit on the side of the road and write tickets which costs us more money in taxes through fines and fees, so they can get an indirect benefit specific to them. They also indicate that this levy is to pay for the 20-plus detectives who are still looking for the student who left the shooting threat letter in the girl’s bathroom just days before the Lakota levy election of 2013—which they still have not found. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW. The police haven’t been very successful—so what have they been doing?

Lt. Morgan Dallman is the division commander for Liberty Twp and stated in favor of the levy that deputies responded to 16,000 calls for service in 2013, so to justify all the needed police activity. That comes out to approximately 43.835 calls per day in little bitty Liberty Township covering every domestic violent episode, every car wreck, every kid who tries to burn down their house with their parents in it, every bomb threat, every vandalism case–everything. What he failed to point out was that many of the calls probably went something like this, “hey Bill, where are you?” Bill answered professionally on his radio leaning in to his left shoulder looking very serious, “I’m at United Dairy Farmers getting a milk shake.” The caller then says, “Hey, some of the fire guys down at the 747 south house have a good game of Call of Duty going. You up for it?” Bill looked at the cashier hoping she didn’t hear, which of course she did, because she told me about it hoping that I’d write a story in Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom. “I’ll be right there,” Bill says making his voice sound urgent and professional. The cashier holding back a smile gives him back his change and the cop leaves as the UDF attendants break out laughing. That is just a sample of the 16,000 calls mentioned by Lt. Dallman. Sometimes the call is for Halo, or Madden football—so it’s not always the same thing—to be fair.

My friends down in West Chester are doing it right. The trustees down there have already told voters not to pass a tax increase for their police department because the cops make too much money. In response, the police are suing the president of the West Chester trustees. CLICK TO REVIEW. In Liberty Township there is no such courage. Instead, they just lay down and let the FOP run right over them making up facts, inflating their statistical numbers to include every cat rescued, and every time a neurotic levy supporting husband and wife fight over the television remote. When it comes to actual crime, there isn’t any because bandits have come to learn that Liberty Township residents—at least the older ones tend to paint their cars with the blood of criminals. Later the police show up to file a report—but they certainly aren’t the deterrent to crime. Gun carrying homeowners are, and there is a LOT of guns in Liberty Township. A lot of GUNS. Enough to equip a small army if needed. Word gets around and it will stay that way unless the police actually drop off criminals hoping to instigate crimes to gain support of a levy. I’ve seen it done in Mason, so it’s certainly not beyond imagination.

I doubt people will vote themselves a tax savings on May 6th 2014. Liberty Township has too many new—weakened, neurotic, insecure parents who are still in their early 30s doubting their ability to handle the Second Amendment the way it was designed, so they look toward the police to protect them. But this is a chance to actually take back some of the tax money stolen from us through past manipulations if enough people would stand up for themselves. We’ll see, I know how I’ll be voting—and it won’t be for more police. Too many cops around isn’t good for anybody but their union numbers. They are too expensive, always behind the action, and simply represent the arm of politics and their authority—which is obviously deeply flawed. Cops are like weeds in a nice garden, the more you water them, the more of them you get until eventually they overrun the beauty of all the nice flowers and trees planted there. One of the reasons that Liberty Township is so nice is that there are fewer cops—weeds. Giving them more money will just make more of them and that isn’t good for Liberty Township’s future, or the people who live here.

The Way of the Fighter: American rebellion against rigidity, command structure and orthodox behavior

Please watch at least this first video for context and background on Claire Lee Chennault:

This isn’t the first time I have revealed a personal passion that I have for the American Volunteer Group who fought in China under Claire Lee Chennault. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW. What the A.V.G. did in just a few months in China against the vastly superior Japanese is the epitome of American ingenuity and exhibits the true benefits of capitalism. There is a reason that the A.V.G was so dramatically successful against the Japanese airforce and made the allied Royal Air Force seem like stumbling fools in comparison. The A.V.G were soldiers of fortune who were unorthodox and despised authority. They were not only in China for the right and ability to fight an enemy against all odds, but they were there to get rich. The Chinese government attacked by the Japanese from the East and the communists coming out of the North paid American pilots flying outdated hot rod P-40’s $500 per kill—unofficially—making some of the best A.V.G. aces quite wealthy. But that wasn’t all, it was the mechanics and ground crew which kept the planes flying using innovation that only America had shown an ability to perform that eventually tipped the scales of war toward the A.V.G. There are very important lessons that were on display over China during the early days of World War II that were every bit as real as the John Wayne classic—and favorite film of mine, The Flying Tigers. It was in this film that I first learned about Claire Chennault. But as heroic as the Flying Tigers were portrayed by Wayne in that film, the reality was actually much more spectacular. One of my most treasured books is the rare one written in 1949 by Chennault himself called Way of the Fighter which went into great detail about the A.V.G. and how eventually General Stilwell would screw everything up in Asia—after World War II.

Chennault as leader of the A.V.G. produced a group of fighting men who were charismatically over-the-top with valor, but were deadly accurate as fighting men. Once America officially entered the war, Stilwell was in charge and the A.V.G. was dissolved into official military control, and their kill ratio declined rapidly. Chennault was so critical of Stilwell, and the American government that the book Way of the Fighter was removed from print quickly and to this day is very rare. To get a copy, it costs anywhere from $150 to $300 dollars for a beat-up copy. The book is a treasure of American spirit and is a key to the kind of talent and drive which makes The United States so unique.

The Flying Tigers, according to the Way of the Fighter was predicted by military experts to not last three weeks in combat against the Japanese. Instead over a 7 month period over Burma, China, Thailand, and French Indo-China the A.V.G. destroyed 299 Japanese planes with another 153 most likely destroyed but unaccounted for. All this with just 12 P-40’s lost in combat and 61 on the ground from Japanese strafing missions. Only four A.V.G. pilots were killed in air combat; six killed by antiaircraft fire; three by enemy bombs on the ground; and three were taken prisoner. Ten more died as a result of flying accidents. The Flying Tigers were so hated by the Japanese because of the tremendous kill ratio against them that they promised on their radio broadcasts to shoot A.V.G. prisoners as bandits on sight. But the three captured pilots were treated with respect indicating the enemy’s genuine admiration for Chennault’s organization.

There were two keys to this success, the first of which was capitalism. The pilots were the best there was and wanted to make a lot of money shooting down Japanese planes. The money attracted the best pilots that were available during the prewar times leading up to World War II. The other of course is Claire Lee Chennault himself. He would eventually become a military general but during his A.V.G. days he was simply a hired strategist for the Chinese who desperately needed a creative, “western” mind to protect them from the invading Japanese. Chennault was extremely unorthodox. In some respects he was very strict; in others he was very lenient. He knew when to apply pressure and when not to, which is a distinctly American trait that military leaders all around the world scoffed at—including The United States. But it was because of Chennault’s manner that the A.V.G. was so incredibly good.

Chennault would train his soldier of fortune pilots relentlessly saying, “You will face Japanese pilots superbly trained in mechanical flying. They have been drilled for hundreds of hours in flying precise formations and rehearsing set tactics for each situation they may encounter. Japanese pilots fly by the book, and these are the books they use.” Chennault would then dump the books into the laps of his star pilots. “Study them, and you will always be one jump ahead of the enemy.” Chennault would stand still for effect, peer at the pilots ruthlessly then say, “They (Japanese) have plenty of guts but lack initiative and judgment. They go into battle with a set tactical plan and follow it no matter what happens. Bombers will hold their formations until they are all shot down. Fighters always try the same tricks over and over again. God help the American pilot who tries to fight them according to their plans. The object of our tactics is to break up their formations and make them fight according to our style. Once the Japanese are forced to deviate from their plan, they are in trouble. Their rigid air discipline can be used as a powerful weapon against them.”

Chennault would present charts, graphs, maps, and hours upon hours of practice flying personally mentoring each of his pilots drilling them, building them up as individuals—treating each of them as though they were the star quarterback on a football team, and they performed for him spectacularly. Once he had their trust, and their ears he would say, “You must use the strong points of your equipment against the weak points of the enemy. Each type of plane has its own strength and weakness. The pilot who can turn his advantages against the enemy’s weakness will win every time. You can count on a higher top speed, faster dive, and superior firepower. The Jap fighters have a faster rate of climb, higher ceiling, and better maneuverability. They can turn on a dime and climb almost straight up. If they can get you into a turning combat, they are deadly.” Chennault would then pull his finger across his throat to drive home the point as the heat of the Toungoo airfield poured in from a tent flap letting in the summer sun, sweat dripping off the fighters as they listened attentively.

“Use your speed and diving power to make a pass, shoot and break away. You have the edge in that kind of combat. All your advantages are brought to bear on the Japanese deficiencies. Close your range, fire, and dive away. Never stay within range of the Jap’s defensive firepower any longer than you need to deliver an accurate burst. You need to sharpen your shooting eye. Nobody ever gets too good at gunnery. The more Jap’s you get with your first burst, the fewer there are to jump you later. Accurate fire saves ammunition. Your plane carries a limited number of bullets. There is nothing worse than finding yourself in a fight with empty guns.”

The Flying Tigers would become part of the official American military under the United States Army Air Forces’ 23rd Fighter Group. The effectiveness of the A.V.G. pilots declined quickly under the regimented military life insisted upon by Stilwell. However some ace pilots like Tex Hill would stay on and help train other American pilots in the ways of the famous A.V.G. and Chennault’s battle tactics would migrate from aircraft carrier to carrier throughout the entire Pacific allowing America to gradually beat back the Japanese and eventually dominate them. The victories in the Pacific theater were not a result of General Stilwell or MacArthur, but rather because of Clair Chennault. Without Chennault, America would not have won in the Pacific and Japan would have taken China months before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This would have given them access to numerous natural resources that would have allowed them to dominate the entire continent of Asia. World War II really came down to two generals who broke official rules of orthodox command, Patton in Europe took Trier with only two divisions sarcastically replying to his furious commanders who instructed him otherwise that he would “give it back,” if they didn’t approve of his methods, and of course Chennault’s epic battles with Stilwell—Stilwell obviously jealous of Chennault denied him of supplies and manpower secretly hoping it would end the winning reputation of the former A.V.G. commander. The victories in the Pacific and in Europe were won by soldiers of fortune, and unorthodox command. It was not just won by bravery, or equipment, but by people who knew how to use the strengths of their equipment against the enemy and were not afraid to upset the command structure of their superiors. That is the “American” way!

On the other hand the allies, particularly the R.A.F. out of England with their Spitfires had a much more difficult time. For instance, in the battle over Rangoon, the R.A.F had losses comparable to the Japanese while the American A.V.G. had a 15 to 1 kill ratio fighting right alongside them all. This is because the A.V.G. were unorthodox freedom fighters combating for money and adventure while the R.A.F and Japanese pilots were regimented military fighters who would follow orders to a fault, and could be counted on to die if needed for the greater good.

After America defeated the Japanese, Stilwell, foolishly advised command that there was no other need for America to guard China from any hostile threat in that region even though Claire Chennault was practically jumping up and down begging America to stop the push by communists into China from Russia. Chennault warned that there would be more war, likely in Korea and Vietnam if America did not continue to defend China. Truman, and American military command ignored Chennault with the same institutionalized swagger that they professed that the Flying Tigers would be destroyed within three weeks. They blew off Chennault’s warnings, blacklisted his book, Way of the Fighter, and assumed that they had won the Pacific war based on their West Point educations. They were wrong. Within a few years America was back at war with Korea, then a few years after that with Vietnam. But at that point communism had already affected the collective based cultures of Asia and had even gone to work in America under the counter-culture movement starting at colleges within The United States.

Few people would believe that the slow slide into such an abyss of global communism and socialism began when America won World War II and stopped listening to General Claire Lee Chennault. But it did. Too many Americans at the time did not see communism as a threat but did see Japan as a threat because of their obvious hostilities toward the outside world. However, as Chennault published his book, Way of the Fighter, Chinese communists were taking over the country violently torturing the kind of people the A.V.G. fought so valiantly to defend, leaving them alone and defenseless. Communist China then moved against Tibet and America did nothing about it. Just that fast the entire land mass of Asia was under communist control and quickly seeping into all of Europe through the less offensive term of socialism. Communists did to the world what Chennault did to the Japanese pilots, they exposed the rigidity of American politics and picked off their enemies one by one over a long period of time—just as Chennault had warned.

The lessons should be clear, freedom, capitalism and innovation beats rigidity, command structure, and orthodox behavior. And it isn’t group consensus that wins wars and defends nations, but ultimately solitary minds, valor, and raw courage that is more unpredictable then structured. And thus, that is the Way of the Fighter, and the way that nations prosper.

2014 Tax Day Rally: Doc Thompson, Atlas Shrugged III, and many others

I know it is hard to get a hold of me and many of my readers here have complained that I do not have time for social engagements, particularly over the last year.  I have been busy—very, very busy—15 to 20 hour days busy just doing the things I’m required to do every day.  But I can name one event that I will be at soon where my friends from the Doc Thompson Show, Atlas Shrugged III and several in the trenches freedom fighters will all be gathered at the same time and place.  The event will be the 2014 Tax Day Rally on Tuesday, April 15th, at 7p.m.-9p.m.   I plan to be at this event, so for those who want to touch base and meet with other like-minded people the 2014 Tax Day Rally should be a destination for you.

 

Ann Becker who is deeply involved with a lot of local “liberty” activity and has been on 55 KRC with Brian Thomas every Monday issued a press release about the event with all the pertinent information.  These events are always very well done, and are worth a road trip for those who are my readers from out-of-town.  So don’t be shy.  The new preview for Atlas Shrugged Part III: Who is John Galt will be shown for only the second time ever at this event prior to the Fall 2014 release.  That alone is worth the trip and will be a very special privilege.  Hotel rooms will be available at the site making it very easy for the sometimes late night clashes of beer mugs that happen after these kinds of events.  For those following the film, the premier will be shown in Las Vegas and will be quite a spectacle.  So for the preview to be shown at this point in time is a real treat.

Here is what Ann issued:

The World Cannot Play American Football: Why rugby, soccer, and speed skating are inferior

As a continuation on yesterday’s article about the divorce of America from Europe it is time that we had a heart to heart realization as confirmed by the Dutch speed skating coach from the Sochi Olympics.  Jillert Anema said he wasn’t surprised the Americans were doing so poorly in speed skating in Sochi because The United States doesn’t support the sport the way it should be supported.  He thinks we don’t support speed skating because we’re too busy watching stupid American football and that we are wasting a lot of athletic talent on a sport that is meant to kill each other.  Anema confirms what I said previously, that the rest of the world does not understand American football because they do not understand the nature of capitalism.  American football is a game of capitalism as European soccer and rugby are tribal games of domination and socialism.  The premier reason that the rest of the world cannot compete with The United States in American football to the extent that they cannot even put a team on the field, is because they cannot grasp the concept of capitalism for which to train and play the game.   Americans do think they are right, because they are, and they are better than the European, because they are………….because in America they are free and unconquered and a touchdown is symbolic of industrial success and achievement which prompts cheers from a ruckus crowd.

When I was a kid I played soccer. Later in life I realized I would have enjoyed football much better.  At the time everyone told me that soccer was the game of the future and that football was on the way out. That was early in 1980.  What I didn’t know at the time was that there was a desire by Europe to lead the world toward global socialism through The United Nations and that they desired to advocate a game that the entire world could play together which represented the economic and political structure of their design.  They desired at the time to turn The United States away from American style football and onto European style football known as soccer.

I was so aggressive as a fullback in soccer that my teammates nicknamed me the “animal” because I often head-butted offensive players intentionally drawing yellow cards to prevent the other teams offense from getting set-up down the field.  I learned very early that the best way to have a great defense in soccer was to pull our full backs up far away from our defended goal preventing the other team’s forwards from getting too close, because the other team’s offense was not allowed to begin a run at the goal by being behind the other team’s defense.  This kept their offense from getting too close to our goalie.  If our offense kept the ball on the enemy’s side of the field I could pull up our defense to leave a tremendous gulf between our line and the goal which the offense couldn’t exploit because of the rules.  This is how soccer is a socialist game because forwards were regulated to staying in front of a defense.  If they did get behind me they’d be called off-sides, so when a well placed ball was punched down the field toward the offensive player, and they would receive it a few steps in front of me, a well placed head-butt would plant them into the ground and make them think twice about doing it again.

By the time I got to high school I was so disenfranchised with the education system that I didn’t want to engage in any battle that the school would benefit from.  I hated the coaches and most of the members of the team, so I stayed away even though it was a game I was naturally inclined to.  Once I got away from my school days I found I enjoyed the game increasingly over the years and found it to be unique to America in many ways that are positive.  In football the receiver can get behind the defensive backs if they are faster.  The only off-sides there is goes against the defense.  They cannot jump across the line until the offense led by the quarterback starts their play.  This is the essence of the difference between soccer and football.  In soccer off-sides favors the defense, in American football it favors the offense.  In America the offense metaphorically speaking is of capitalism, industry, banking, invention, the defense is regulation, government, and political resistance.  The intention is to beat those elements to score a goal.  That is why Americans don’t typically cheer in football until yards are gained or a score is obtained.  In soccer they cheer collectively during the entire match.  In football it is typically when an achievement is obtained—this is a big difference.

I have been a Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan most of my adult life.  I fly flags on game day and fire cannons from my porch when they score.  I love the hard hits, I love the theater, and I love how it is specifically American.  The rest of the world cannot play American Football.  Rugby is a pretty close adaption and the players are tough in that they don’t use padding, but the concept of the game is still a version of Europe’s addiction to collectivism instead of an individual quarterback standing behind a battle line and delivering the ball down the field to ultimately score.   In American football the quarterback is the CEO of an offense.  He is a celebrated hero from Atlas Shrugged in every circumstance and his job is to rally his team to victory as an “individual.”  In rugby the closest thing they have is a “fly-half position.”  So there is no coordinated effort to get the ball down the field to score a goal—but like soccer it is a kind of chaos where the ball bounces back and forth between offense and defense with no plan or formation on how to execute a task.  Soccer and rugby are European games that reflect their cultures, and they cannot grasp the ideal of a Football playbook where offensive and defensive schemes drive the ball down the field toward the promised land of scoring.

Europe cannot put a team on the field that can even remotely compete with an American team because Europe and the rest of the world cannot grasp capitalism.  The differences are pure and simple.  Who gives a rat’s ass about speed skating around a frozen lake when you can take off the head of an enemy player on the field of capitalism and are given points for ramming the ball down the throat of a defense to gain victory?  In soccer and rugby a score just so happens almost by random chance, just like their stupid economic system—which is why the score is often 1 to 0 or 2 to 3 after over an hour of game play.  In football you get 6 points plus a field goal attempt for scoring a touchdown.  In soccer you get one stupid point.  In America when a business hits it big, people often get rich.  They get more than a silly point; they get SIX points just for getting across 100 yards of defense.  Football is their game, it is the hopes and dreams of every American played out on the battlefield of capitalism.  Soccer and rugby are games of socialism, collectivism, and way too many rules reflective of their societies.  The difference between Europe and America is clearly evident in their games.

Needless to say soccer did not become a hit in America.  I don’t even know where the nearest professional team is, so my teachers lied to me when they said that soccer would suppress American football in the future.  They hoped that it would because deep down inside they recognized the differences which are clearly ideological.  I would love to see London play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or socialist bitches from Paris.  I’d like to see France find 11 men in the entire country who could meet the Tampa Bay Bucs in Raymond James Stadium—I bet they couldn’t do it.  Let the speed skaters of the Dutch even think about putting a football team on the field against even American high school players.  They would be destroyed.  There wouldn’t even be remote competition, because the people from those places are so intellectually ruined because of their economic commitment to socialism that they can’t even comprehend the role of a quarterback, let alone train a player to perform the task.  This is also why they fail economically, because they do not understand what makes industry work, what makes money, and how products are even created.  They randomly sometimes get lucky and score a point, but often you have to wait an entire game to see a score—or in the case of Europe, an entire decade.

To Jillert Anema, let’s see you even come close to assembling a team that could play American football.  America can at least put speed skaters in an arena with the Dutch but there is a reason nobody in the world can compete with American in football…………………….it’s because they can’t.  Just like the battle between socialism and capitalism.  It is that simple.

How about challenging the rest of the world to a little wager?  Here is the contact page to the United Nations.  Send this article to them and let’s see if they have an answer to it.  Let’s see if they can pull all of the best players from around the world from soccer, rugby, speed skating—whatever, and see if they can even play against one American professional football team.  I bet they can’t.

Go ahead, send them a note:

http://www.un.org/en/contactus/

Better yet contact every country that is in membership at The United Nations from that same link.  Send them a request as well and let’s see if all of them put together could build a football team……………American style.

(Shhhhhhh, they can’t.)  I offer the videos on this article as testimony.  Prove me wrong……………anybody in the entire world.  

There are attempts in Europe to be like America.  There are teams trying to learn the role of a “quarterback” and play the American game.  They can all be found at this link.  Building a proper team should start with them.  But I bet all of them together would fall short of an American professional team.  Because the basic concept of the game eludes Europeans.

Bill Gates Warning About the Future: Inventions that will make Excel look primitive

Bill Gates is a creation of American capitalism and could only have become the richest man in the world in America.  Unlike people like George Soros or Warren Buffet who are also billionaires, Gates became wealthy because of his creation of a superior product.  To this very day I still consider Microsoft Excel to be the most important, and powerful invention of the 20th Century.  The Microsoft Office bundle has literally changed the world and revolutionized business.  I can send a Microsoft PowerPoint to literally any company in the world, and they can open it and view the information effortlessly through a simple email, and that is a real miracle.  20 years ago for a business meeting I would have had to carry a brief case with me everywhere I went, but now I can download all my documents for a presentation on a “stick” and open them on another company’s computer using Excel to show complicated financial formulas and forecasts that would have taken mountains of paper to do in the past.  The cell design of Microsoft Excel is just brilliant.  It is a real technical evolution for the human species, and is why Bill Gates is often the world’s richest man.  I don’t agree with his views on Common Core education which he shares with another person I admire, George Lucas.  I think in that category both men are out of touch to believe that any government is qualified to be in charge of a child’s education.  But I would attribute their world view to a naiveté bred from their wealth and a remoteness created from their financial security and success in business.  They believe that they can apply the same success they had in their business to government sponsored education which has proven incorrect, but I won’t fault them for those moments of faulty thinking, because they are right in their specific fields much more often.  And to that assertion, Gates recently warned world governments of an impending crisis that they must get out ahead of, particularly in The United States.  A serious shortage of traditional jobs is coming to every country in the world, and the need to reduce taxes, avoid any increases in the minimum wage, and to find ways to inspire entrepreneurs to create jobs that have not yet been invented is becoming the most important thing anybody can hope to do.

As I mentioned just a few days ago with the future predictions of Ray Kurzweil artificial intelligence will change the world.  It is likely that as much as Microsoft Office has changed the way companies have done business, and Excel has had a major impact in the world of finance and management, the technical leaps that will be witnessed in just the next decade will be monumental.  Bill Gates is well aware of this upcoming trend because he is one of the shapers of the developing technologies and can see clearly what is happening.  Now he is warning the world of the growing crises of “software substitution” that is about to hit virtually every economic market.

Microsoft Excel already does for one individual what a room full of accountants used to perform prior to the computer revolution.  All those highly paid jobs have been eliminated and given to people who have not dedicated their life to finance and now perform the same tasks as a mere afterthought—people like me.  I’ve always been a creative person, and an in-the-trenches worker, but now it’s not uncommon for me to do complicated spreadsheets in a movie theater before a film begins without much additional effort, because Excel does most of the heavy lifting.  This tendency of software substitution will become greater, resulting in millions upon millions of lost jobs over the coming decades.  Gates is warning now so that governments can prepare, but most of course will not listen.

Obama’s recent insult of an executive order for salary workers is the most obvious current failure of governments to understand just how behind the curve they are.  Obama’s social beliefs were formulated by communists from the 1930s to the 1960s and are why he believes that the profits of the business owner should be shared by the “workers,” which is 100% false.  A joke in our family while traveling through remote areas when we hear a song on the radio that is twenty years old is for me to declare that the song just came out in that location.  I do this a lot in Louisville, Kentucky where we visit often.  My reference is a comment on the backwoods foundations that are built around the city far away from culture centers like Los Angeles, New York and London.   Obama’s thoughts are comparable to a song from 1890 just hitting Louisville and them thinking its revolutionary, that’s how far behind the curve, Obama is on what’s happening in the world.  But Gates is the one who is writing the songs that aren’t even out yet, and will soon flood the world with their popularity once discovered.

It is only a few years away that drivers for over-the-road trucks will no longer be needed.  The trucks will drive themselves.  Nurses who monitor patients will be replaced by medical bots, and fast food restaurants will become dramatically automated.  Human workers are simply too unreliable, they don’t show up for work enough, and cost too much once there.  Insurance companies, financial centers, and most cubical based endeavors will go away.  There isn’t enough work to keep workers busy now for 8 hours a day—as Facebook login hours are proving, and as technology increases, this will become much worse.  Even manufacturing will change dramatically as 3D printers will increasingly do the task of manual labor for component parts.  Gone will be the days where a worker sat in front of a punch press, a sewing machine, or an injection molding unit running production for 8 hours a day 5 days a week.  The jobs in the future will be in material acquisition, and inspection, but not in the actual manufacture.  Technical assembly will still be a human trait, but every job not requiring human reason which is adaptable by circumstance will be challenged by technology.

It is not that far off that building construction will be done by robots because hiring human workers will be risky and unreliable.  It costs too much to hire a human worker with the threat of FMLA benefits, workman’s compensation cases, and the unreliability of momentary lapses in judgment.  Software reliability will prove much more attractive to future manufacturing.  Governments will strive to suppress technical innovation to protect their taxation structure, but it’s too late for them.  A company that wants to make interior car parts for Toyota, Honda, or even Ford will likely move their shop to some African country to avoid the high taxes of developed countries and use 3D printers to make many of their component parts hiring a skeleton crew to perform actual assembly.  As McDonald’s workers protest for unionization and a higher minimum wage the same robots working in the medical industry will prepare the food, drop the French Fries and work the drive thru.  Humans will load the machines with new food, they’ll do most of the money transactions since intuition will still be required between human customers, and they’ll supervise the sandwich making exercises.  But the actual sandwich making will be done by robotic hands.  (Do you have any idea dear reader how much money is lost putting too much lettuce on Big Macs can cost McDonald’s per year?  Too much!  Human error destroys millions of dollars in profit potential.)

Big government people and unionized workers will declare that all this technology is bad for the worker, it’s bad for the human condition, and it is bad for the economy.  These same people think that the sun comes up every morning to shine on their faces during their brief visit on earth and are out-of-touch with reality.  They are way behind the times that are coming and ill prepared to deal with the realities Bill Gates is warning about.  Education will change drastically!  Personal pleasure and recreation will change dramatically!  Manufacture and product delivery will change dramatically!  Service of all kinds will leap into another dimension in just 10 years to something not even recognizable to today’s standards—so the warning as been given—and we’ll see who listens.

The world will not stop evolving just because human beings have not adopted their religions, their politics, and their moral compass to the tools of invention created for the use of advancing society from a perilous past.  Every time I open an Excel Spreadsheet I feel privileged to live in such a time that I can use such a thing.  What is even better is when I can open a spreadsheet with costs, delivery and material items on my iPad removed from a jacket pocket while waiting for food to arrive while dinning out.  Apple Products are not typically compatible with Bill Gate’s Microsoft products but because Microsoft’s Office programs are so heavily used throughout the world, Apple has apps that can interpret them on their platforms.  And in just a few years these Excel inventions by Microsoft will seem clunky and barbaric compared to what’s coming.  Gates is right; most people are not prepared for those changes.  Governments if they were smart would completely reorganize their financial structures to deal with these coming changes and not try to hold the world to outdated and archaic social models where people are chained to programs like Social Security and Medicare.  Technology will create nanobots that will allow people to live for centuries instead of decades.  Cancer will be cured with a computer program that solves the problem in the human DNA itself—who will retire at 65 or even 85 when they can continue working for 100 or 200 years?  Why pay for Medicare when people can just become healthy like they were when they were young?  Why pay for a UPS driver when the truck can drive on its own and a delivery bot can drop the package off on a doorstep?  Why pay a tractor-trailer driver when it can be driven by GPS and a computer program that will even back the truck up to the dock of a destination?  A human driver can only drive so many hours by regulation where an automated driver can continue forever without pause but to refuel.  The world is changing–quickly, and Bill Gates is warning everyone as to the specifics of that change.  Big government types at this point are way, way…………….way behind and at the rate of technical computation that is now multiplying by the day, they will soon resemble primitive natives throwing spears at airplanes flying 30,000 feet overhead.  The choice to be a primitive is one that resists the inevitable and does not heed what Bill Gates is saying—and will be incurred with much peril that is completely avoidable.

Obama The Dumbass: New Executive order against American productivity

Barack Obama has done a lot of really dumb things during his presidency and has shown himself to be a real novice when it comes to leadership.  Obama is the premier reason that an unproven senator rather than a vetted state governor or a military general should have nothing to do with The White House.  For those who foolishly voted for this fledgling idiot, the Percival of American politics, the video below is for you.  What they thought they were getting in 2008 when they cast their votes for the openly socialist community organizer from Chicago with direct ties to domestic terrorists, FBI tracked communists and a mother who slept her way around the world, was far from a savor.  The grim reality of their stupidity is self-evident.  Six years later, most of them are discovering what the woman in the following video have—which is reflected in the current poll numbers in 2014.

Now the idiot has really crossed the line and insulted me personally which is something that I must address directly.  If the dude wants to talk to me after reading this feel free……………he has my number.  This whole business of Barry Obama signing an executive order directed at the Labor Department requiring them to expand overtime pay requirements to include salary workers making under $50,000 per year for every hour worked over 40 per week is epically dim-witted.  This move is to equalize pay and distribution of wealth with yet another brainless attack on the supposed wealthy class of Americans to those in the mythical government created “middle-class.”  Obama stated on March 13th as he signed a memorandum to this effect that, “Our businesses have created more than 8 million new jobs over the last four years.  The unemployment rate is at the lowest it’s been in over five years, but, in many ways, the trend that have really battered middle-class families for decades have gotten worse, not better.  So we’ve got to reverse those trends.  We’ve got to build an economy that works for everybody, not just for a few.”  Obama’s dialogue of course is foolish, and might as well have been spoken by Vladimir Lenin in 1917 Russia.  Whether or not anybody likes the reality of President Obama, this move is rooted in communism—this ideal that all workers are equal and should share in the wealth of profit produced.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.

As I have documented I have been employed just about everywhere and done everything in virtually every capacity.  I have been at the very top and I have cleaned toilets—sometimes all at the same time.  I have worked on multiple occasions 24 straight hours and then some and done just about every kind of job that human beings have created.  At every place I have ever worked and all of the thousands of people I have worked with over the years, all of them with equal access to this site and the words I publish and can confirm if they wish to—because not a single one of them ever outworked me in all my years of productivity.  I have always been “that guy” who excelled and strove to do more, get more done, and outwit competitors with cleverness, aptitude, and sheer willpower.  What President Obama has declared with his diabolical executive order is that every other worker behind me has been equal to my efforts—the slug who sits in the break room too long, the imbecile who goofs off during the job too much, and the general bench warmer who can now sit at their computer while on salary and play on Facebook being unproductive during their normal work hours so they can milk the clock out and get paid for it by Uncle Government and pimp daddy Obama.

The primary reason an employer puts a worker who shows promise on salary is to avoid having to pay them overtime.  For the restaurant manager who might work 65 to 80 hours a week, the owner does not want to break their budget by racking up all the overtime hours incurred by a manager, so they are put on salary to fix the costs.  The motivation of the owner to the manager is to convince such people of responsibility to be more efficient with their time and to learn to delegate so that they don’t have to do all that work themselves.  But if they chose to work the extra hours they’ll do it at their cost.  For instance, if one of their restaurant employees calls off and there is nobody around to do the job, the manager is often stuck having to cover—and since they are on salary it will likely be free work to them.  This will cause the manager to hire better people so that they won’t have to do such things. With this new overtime rule by Obama and his gang of government thugs, the manager won’t want to hire another person to delegate to, because they will want to do the job themselves to milk out overtime.  Only idiots who have never managed anything at any point in their lives would think that such a communist concept could work in a productive society.

In my personal experience Obama has just declared with his ridiculous executive order that all the misfits, low-lifes, and lazy losers I have worked with in the past were equal to me—and that is just an insult.  Compared to me, nobody does equal work for equal pay, because nobody puts the same level of effort into a task.  Only a complete idiot with no work experience would believe such a thing, and this is confirmation that Obama and all the socialist knuckle draggers in Washington D.C. are clueless as to what makes an economy tick, and now they have increased the burden on American productivity, not lessened it.

Anyone who has had to manage hourly workers knows that because of the overtime laws created during the “Red Decade” where communism was being openly advocated by the high levels of society in The United States that the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 required most workers to be paid overtime in an effort to shuffle profits into the pockets of the common worker.  Salaried managers were tasked to combat the kind of waste this created by making sure that most of the work needed by a company was obtained within a 40 hour work week.  Without such management hourly workers typically stand at their jobs and string out their tasks so that they can obtain 5 to 15 hours of overtime a week supplementing their income.  In union shops this is an epidemic problem which has ultimately destroyed their competitive swagger in the world.  The federal government never had a right, or an obligation to determine what was “fair” for a worker in their relationship with an employer.  The cost of their intrusion has been productivity.

I have worked for employers who were idiots, and they sought to take advantage of me at every turn.  When I discovered this, I either moved on to someplace else, or I worked the situation to my advantage which is fair play.    Never have I turned to government to protect me from an employer.  It was always my task to handle that myself as it is for everyone.  While it’s true that not everybody is so ambitions, they should be……and they will never yearn to be so long as they are compensated by government for work that they aren’t doing in an attempt to equalize their pay and benefits.  This attempt at “fairness” by the Obama administration is one of the most obvious validations of their sheer ignorance and lack of worldly knowledge—at understanding what makes a person productive and what inspires them to sit on their ass.  This new executive order will encourage a lot more ass sitting and much, much less productivity because now those with management power on salary can milk out a clock too, and will be far less likely to manage hourly workers who desire at every turn to do the same.  This is the most foolish thing I have ever seen done by a politician……………which says a lot.

It is a personal insult to me to give workers who don’t put in the same effort that I do, equal pay.  It inspires me to work less, not more—and those like me who work hard will decide to shrug off that effort since the government has made inferior employees equal.  And that is the source of the problem because if the truly productive stop working hard, what is there that moves an economy……………….some proletariat worker?  Give me a break!

Obama, you are a dumbass.

Thank Glenn Beck: Dealing with culture instead of the tail of politics

 

I have on more than one occasion wondered if Glenn Beck reads from this site and gets inspiration for his shows based on the content.  Too many times I have said something on a particular day only to hear him discussing it two days, or two weeks later.  However, the likely scenario is that I share with him the ability to calculate the future based on observational computations and can pinpoint at a particular point in space and time the need to address an issue.  The accuracy of those computations for people able to perform them is as simple as 2 + 2 is 4 or 4 + 4 is 8, they represent a logic that is observable and predictable if the acknowledgment of reality is pure.  This has never been truer than when Beck announced recently that he was done with politics because he saw it as a game, and that he had plans to run his company, The Blaze, as a culture building mechanism as opposed to a political pundit reporting service. 

 

 

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/372988/new-glenn-beck-eliana-johnson 

I have thought this for a very long time, and have pointed often to the modern Star Wars saga and Walt Disney from the past, as tools in this arsenal, which mankind needs desperately.  One episode of a 30 minutes Star Wars cartoon is maybe 100 times more potent than a typical political speech which is often reported by the news in the same way that ESPN reports the happenings of a baseball game.  The real power to change the world is to affect culture not the news that comes from the culture once it’s established.  This is why The White House in a desperate push to get more health care enrollees by the end of March turned to YouTube in an attempt to reach young people.  Most of society is not watching Fox News, MSNBC, or the nightly news on the primary networks—they are plugged into entertainment culture—which molds the ideals that we all function from everyday.  As Beck said in the article linked above, the news is simply the tail of the dog—which is culture. 

 

On so many occasions I have been asked to be a part of the political establishment, as my wife has railed in protest.  She knows what my real talents are, and she doesn’t want to see me distracted with petty pursuits which waste time.  Often elected office is responding to the tail of the dog as it wags it and I would rather deal with the dog.  That is not to say that other people shouldn’t tend to those kinds of things, but everyone has to do what they are good at—and I am at my heart and soul, a culture builder.  From the time that I was a little kid to the present time, I have been obsessed with cultural aspects and how they relate to one another.  In my present form, many consider me to be the most manipulative person they know, because they sense fractions of what I often do to them upon interaction—but in the end they end up thanking me for the effort.  Hind-sight often shows the logic, but foresight proves most will be lost—and I gave up trying to explain it to them a long time ago, because it just slows things down.

 

There is nothing more important than culture building whether it is a business, an educational philosophy, a family unit, a local government, or a national government, without a proper culture things always go amiss—100% of the time.  It is never important to discuss the tail of a dog, it is important to deal with the dog and by the time a school board makes a decision, or a group of trustees takes action after many meetings and the collaboration of many minds, or a president signs an executive order, the opportunity to solve the problem occurred many decisions ago in the cultural aspects of the decision, not the decision itself.  Culture determines the quality of a decision otherwise all decisions are like throwing darts—you can get close, but accuracy is often random and plagued with uncontrolled variables. 

 

Glenn Beck has announced that he is producing motion pictures, specifically one about Christmas, which is important and another about just how bad Thomas Edison was in his climb to power and how he was used to give power companies a monopoly on every home in America—as designed by J.P. Morgan.  For most of our lives in America we were told that Edison was a tireless worker and inventor who created electricity.  But in reality, he was corrupt and motivated by greed when a pupil of his, Tesla showed far more promise—and innovation.  That part of history has been suppressed culturally which led to the political acceptance of a financial system of electricity delivery designed by a wealthy financier in Morgan to expand his holds and influence in a negative way—a way that still persists to this day—even though lots of options exist.  Beck instead of attempting to discuss this corruption through news outlets is going to take the message to the cultural level and make a movie about it.  This has infinitely more power than thousands of hours of Beck standing in front of chalk boards trying to explain to a few intellectual types the error of their ways.  A movie has the power to reach the masses, and actually change culture.

 

This is why Hollywood hates John Aglialoro’s efforts at making Atlas Shrugged into three films, the last of which is coming out in the fall of 2014.  A movie is the captured turf of modern progressives, and they want to maintain their ability to impact culture without the competition of other ideals.  Their hatred of the Atlas films is motivated exclusively by this realization.  Beck will experience even more intense hatred as his projects begin to percolate into cultural competition—because the enemies of his work know what is at stake. 

 

So it makes me very happy to hear Glenn Beck declare what his future plans are—because he is once again way ahead of everyone else.  It may not be so obvious today, in 2014, but in 2100 it will be very obvious, and history will remember these efforts in how culture changed in dramatic ways.  One of those molders of culture will be Glenn Beck, and history will owe him a lot of thanks.

The New Jeep Renegade: A vehicle marketed to high school girls and repressed Europeans

High school girls, gay guys, and European men with way too much cologne appear to be the target of Fiat’s newest Jeep, Renegade.  Fiat’s acquisition strategy of the Jeep brand from Chrysler was on full display at the 2014 Geneva auto show.  They revealed what they intend to do with the automotive line nurtured in America and recognized throughout the world as a symbol of rugged individuality and toughness—they turned it into a mini.   Fiat is quite boastful of their skyrocketing sales after their Jeep acquisition.  The new Renegade will be built in some of the former factories crushed by socialism in Italy, and targeted for sale in Europe.  From their stand point, this is a brilliant move, Europe’s roads are too small, the people too tightly packed, and their governments are corrupted by the ghosts of communism.  Because of their mystical beliefs in global warming, Europe’s fuel costs are too high, and their expectations for personal freedom are very low.  For them, Jeep, as it has been marketed out of America under the Chrysler Corporation was representative of American independence, so Fiat has taken that image and smashed it down into something that the rest of the world can enjoy in order to boost sales.  For tightly packed Europe, the dirt roads of India, the washed out trails of China, the forever college students of Germany sung to social sleep by radical professors, the drifting yuppies of Brazil, and the up and coming drug dealers in Mexico, the Fiat version of the Jeep is perfect for them.  But for the American, the new Jeep will be one of those throwaway cars that dads buy for their daughters, or men lacking masculinity will purchase because it’s so “cute.”  The new Jeep Renegade by American standards looks like it might be capsized during a head-on collision with a bicycle.

One of the best vehicles my family ever had was a Jeep Grand Cherokee that we drove all over The United States.  Its powerful inline 6 cylinder engine could pull boats with no problem; it could handle the Appalachian Mountains with ease, and perform well on the highway for long trips.  One specific year my wife purchased a bike rack for the back of our Jeep and we took a family vacation down to Hilton Head Island.  Once we arrived we biked all over the island.  It was my wife, and two daughters with me on that trip and the Jeep had no trouble carrying a bike rack that could haul so many bicycles and still have the girth to plow through the wind, rain, and inclement weather from Ohio to South Carolina.  Inside that Jeep there was plenty of room for all of us to comfortably travel and still pack more than enough supplies for a week of vacationing.  Shortly after that trip, my wife was in a car accident that the insurance company totaled meaning we would lose the Jeep.  She had been hit by another vehicle taking my kids to school as another car slid on the wet pavement during the heavy traffic mornings.  Because the Jeep sat so high off the ground, and was so large, the vehicle took all the impact leaving my family safe inside.   The airbags all deployed and they walked away without any harm.  Initially, looking at the Jeep, I thought the damage was pretty minor.  The bumpers had held up, the fenders where hardly wrinkled, and the lights remained completely intact.  But, since the airbags deployed, the cost of repair was up over $10,000.  It was a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the accident was in the mid 2000s, so the vehicle was getting up in years exceeding the technical value of the vehicle.  However, if not for that wreck, we would still be driving that Jeep to this very day.  If my wife had been driving a Jeep Renegade instead of a Grand Cherokee, my family would have been seriously hurt.

The Jeep brand was fostered by American car companies and spoke to the world of a lifestyle forged from capitalism that they simply couldn’t enjoy.  When Fiat bought the brand from the financially strapped Chrysler Corporation it was clear that the Italian company had plans to use that image to saturate a starving world with a mirage of American freedom represented by the Jeep brand.  Chrysler and General Motors specifically have major labor problems in America largely due to socialism driven by their unions, and could not live up to their own image, leaving them vulnerable in the global marketplace to Fiat.  Fiat has so far sought to shrink down the Jeep vehicles catering to the European market but dressing them up to look like the old Jeeps.  The Fiat Jeep is a kind of Angry Birds version of a Chrysler Jeep; it’s purely gimmicky but has compromised itself to fulfill a larger global strategy of wealth redistribution copying off Americans without the commitment to freedom that comes from such places.  Common in the discussion of economics these days is the “global marketplace” and behind that discussion there is always socialism driving the dialogue. Deep in the hearts of the rest of the world is the belief that America’s wealth should be redistributed to them, and in the case of brands like Fiat’s Jeep, the image is used and repackaged as a version more compatible with countries wrecked with socialism.  The subtle goal is proclaiming that another American brand is now in control of that global marketplace—known as “the public.”  No doubt that President Obama celebrated when Fiat bought up the majority of shares of Jeep stock showing a “partnership” with Italy and America that would resonate with the long-term plan academia has always fostered—a large federation of countries working together instead of being at war with one another.  It is similar to the reasons why men often want to sleep with the attractive wives of men they consider their intellectual and physical superiors—so that they can take something from their rivals that they don’t have in the first place.  Fiat, from Italy is taking from Jeep the American ruggedness and putting their stamp of softness to it so to reap the short-term profits while destroying the brand right in front of America’s bankrupt face—while The United States continues to pour billions of dollars in aid to such European nations through financing The United Nations, military support and intellectual property.  How many global film blockbusters have been produced in France, Italy, or Germany?  What was the latest billion dollar film made in Spain?  ………………………Anyone……………………………………………………………………………….anyone at all……………………………………………………………………………………….I’m still waiting………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………there isn’t one and never will be.  Because books, movies, music that achieve such status are created by free people—Americans—and that isn’t an accident.

The Fiat Jeep is wealth redistribution, not just in jobs that might otherwise have been created in America, but of the essence of American creation, the Jeep as it was conceived by Chrysler.  The Jeep I spoke so highly of, the Jeep Grand Cherokee from 1996 was conceived by Detroit automakers during the Reagan era before Detroit collapsed under the weight of their labor unions.  The Fiat Jeep Renegade is a vehicle conceived by a Detroit that just filed bankruptcy and had to sell off assets to an Italian company who traditionally makes small cars, for small people and their philosophic grip on history.  Surely the new Jeep Renegade will sell well in all the armpits of the world, the minds of Europe still recovering from the Dark Ages, the tribal hunters fresh off the Serengeti who have just spent the day hunting Gazelles because the grocery store had its food shipment confiscated by socialist radicals in charge of the country, or some hut dweller in Cambodia who is working 5 full-time jobs trying to pay for the broken leg his wife incurred during a traffic accident between two bicycles.  The Jeep Renegade will be a treasured vehicle in places like that.  But here in America, they will be driven by 16-year-old girls who think they are cute little “mini” cars, and will fill the parking lots of San Francisco gay nightclubs with air fresheners hanging from the mirrors to cover the odor of their clubbing activities.  But on the road across America these little Fiat Jeep’s will be road bumps equivalent to pot holes for the larger vehicles which are part of a culture which embraces freedom and individual liberty with size, space, and horsepower.  And all those things are missing from the new Fiat Jeep which is an insult to a brand that was built with rugged American history and a yearning for freedom that is unmatched anywhere  in the world—and under assault by yet another foreign company driven by socialism to consume anything and everything that has value.

Lakota’s Campaign Against Guns: Using Deangelo Jones to disarm America

If I speak to 100 people on any given day, 85 of them carry a loaded gun—most of them concealed.  Those 85 people range in personalities from six figure executives to back yard mechanics who are more than willing to lift up their own pickup truck by hand while changing a tire to avoid the complication of going into the garage to get a jack.  Guns are a fact of life in American culture and are the primary reason no country in their right mind would dare invade our homes because it would prove a tactical nightmare.  Most of those 85 never draw those guns on another human being and will spend their entire lives never shooting anybody.  They have the guns just in case—and for especially young boys; guns are a right of manhood.   When a person carries a gun they are proudly stating that they are not betting their life on government controlled security like the TSA, the police, the manipulative CIA, the comb-over heavy FBI, the politically driven military or any other louse who yearns to dominate other human beings with government backed authority.  That is why it was so disgusting that Lakota schools made such a huge deal over Deangelo Jones who had a loaded 9 mm in his backpack inside a friend’s car and was arrested and thrown in jail because of it.

http://www.todayspulse.com/news/news/student-brings-firearm-to-high-school/ndgGK/

http://www.wlwt.com/news/west-chester-police-investigating-why-student-had-gun-in-backpack/24714018

By the way, all the videos shown here took place in the Lakota district over the last year, this even under very stringent security of police and Lakota officials during a levy attempt, when it matters most to them.   Government workers are not a substitute for personal security.

What a wonderful school…………full of great values and educational aptitude.  Take note of this for future reference.

I have some experience with school shootings which I’ll share in a few days specifically because of this case—and Lakota’s extreme overreaction to it.  I was in one when I was a kid—at Lakota—so I have some authority on the subject from which to speak.  Sometimes young men have issues with other young men that need to be settled, and the school imposes itself on that process when they infringe on the private rights of people, especially going through their back packs based on the word of some tattle tale who told school officials that there was a gun on the Lakota property.  Lakota West Principal Elgil Card talked boldly after the arrest of Jones saying, “Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken based on the Lakota Student Code of Conduct.  It is not permissible to bring any weapon onto school property even if secured in a private vehicle.”  Smart…………..now you know dear reader why so many schools are attacked by lunatic gunman—because everyone knows that they unarmed places and the people there are vulnerable and too heavily dependent on complacent government workers to protect them.  If you are a bad guy, or a deranged student looking for some sort of revenge, a school becomes a prime target because of the stupid comments of naive people like Principal Card.

You know what else is in the Lakota Student Code of Conduct, drug possession, and if the same vigor had been applied as the one who went through Deangelo Jones’ backpack, it is highly likely that marijuana busts on a grand scale would far eclipse this gun story—but in public schools these days, drugs are cool, sexual molestation of the students by the teachers is shrugged off, but if someone brings a gun to school—it is plastered all over the news and the freedom of a young 18 year old kid are violated ruthlessly.  This Lakota story was even covered in Toledo, Ohio as school administrators beat on their chest as if to justify their awesome security methods—and ability to protect students from a potential crazed gunman on the heels of their latest tax increase.  Lakota exploited the kid—Jones, for the benefit of the institution and trampled all over his rights as an American citizen—and are damn proud of it.

Meanwhile the panicky levy supporters in and around Lakota are holding their little ones a bit closer thanking Lakota officials for protecting their children from the dangerous Deangelo Jones.  They are proud that they raised taxes on property owners all in the name of safety so that a do-gooder could get Jones in trouble for carrying a gun on school property.  These same people have given a free pass to teachers who were caught sexually seducing students, or other teachers who are very permissive to drug use.

I would argue that drugs are far more dangerous than guns, because drugs destroy the ability to think, where guns are simply designed to tear open the flesh of another person.  Without a mind, there isn’t much of a life for anybody—a mind is far more important than the flesh—because without a mind, a person really doesn’t have anything but blood which pumps through a living carcass.  The amount of drugs in the Lakota West parking lot on a daily basis is likely to cause a whole lot more damage to other people and the future economy of our nation than a tiff that Deangelo Jones felt he might have had with another student—or his desire to show his friends that he was a man—and could now carry a gun at 18-years-old.  Where are the tattle tales over the drugs in backpacks of the Lakota West parking lot even to this very day, and where is the will to do anything about it?  There isn’t one.

Lakota made a big deal about the gun brought onto school property by a student because their social position fits the nationally driven progressive agenda against personal firearms—which was delivered to America from a United Nations intent to see the entire planet stripped of personal protection.  The public education stance against personal firearms fits that progressive message—so they feel entitled to infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of Jones and anybody else operating outside of progressive politics.  Jones is an 18-year-old man, not some kid any longer—in spite of what some corpulent politicians decided was best in Columbus, Ohio.  The Lakota position against firearms is not about safety and logic—it is more about reassuring the line of dialogue that guns are “bad” and should be feared.  Lakota, and the media, used Deangelo Jones to instill fear into the public by making them even more terrified of firearms in the same way that student athletes are used to solicit more tax revenue from property owners under Friday night lights on cold October evenings.  The goal is community manipulation toward a direction that the progressive institutions desire—and Lakota is a very progressive institution.

The students at Lakota who witnessed this whole Deangelo Jones situation will grow up and accept that the school has authority over individuals who carry guns.  They will accept the molestation of the TSA without concern, or when the police break down their door someday during a suspicious tip from a neighbor—all in the name of protecting the “state,” they will obediently submit to authority.  If the students at Lakota learned anything from the Deangelo Jones case it was that guns are to be feared, that the state has authority over the individual, and that even close friends will rat out suspicious behavior to do-gooder authority figures.  Those lessons will carry over into adulthood when those same students will someday vote, and they will think of Deangelo Jones and vote against concealed carry laws, and personal protection not controlled by local law enforcement.  When that time comes, the 85 people I know who are law bidding citizens and are the makers and shakers of the local economy will become outlaws who will have their property confiscated by the state and held against their will in jail with a $10,000 bail.  And that is the real intent behind the press releases, and the ecstatic dream of every progressive institution in America, especially those in public education.   Those same schools will applaud a woman’s right to kill a baby, or a college student to intoxicate themselves on weekend nights destroying the genetic code of their own physiology with THC marijuana smoke and non-thinking commitment to “getting high.”  But if a person declares they have a right to the Second Amendment……..watch out………the howls of fear will emit from the mouths of the school levy supporters and weak-minded government advocates—because the real goal is not the one they advocate, but the ones left unspoken and from a foreign land—who secretly yearns to possess all that we have—and can never until Americans yield their love of guns to the benefactors of authority—which they control through political strings and financial contributions.  That strategy is being implemented by do-gooders laced with too much cellulite around the midsection, and people who are too lazy to change their own motor oil, let alone a tire.  And when they see gun, they wet their pants, because they have been taught to fear such things by progressive institutions like the one at Lakota—a parasite on virtually everything that has value.

As to all the news stories shown above, how can Lakota keep all those stories contained so that the public thinks they are getting a lot of value for their tax dollars……………well, they spend a lot more tax money on public relations to keep their image good so that all the sad little things like murder plots, vandalism, sexting, and mass shooting threats stay off of people’s minds.  But for students who know the reality, carrying a gun isn’t a bad idea.  Smart people do carry, because they don’t trust other people to their own security.   Obviously, Lakota isn’t up to the challenge of providing security, as the evidence presents.

Ann Becker in the Wall Street Journal: Southern Ohio is the heart of the new civil war

“’What got everyone re-energized was the debt ceiling,’ said Ann Becker, president of the Cincinnati Tea Party, who attended a meeting in Mr. Boehner’s district of more than 200 people Saturday to discuss a long-shot challenge to him for the GOP nomination.”  That was a quote out of the Wall Street Journal where Cincinnati Tea Party President and personal friend Ann Becker made nationwide news following the straw poll results in Eaton, Ohio trying to determine who will run against John Boehner in the upcoming primary.  Traditional big government oriented Republicans like John Boehner, John Kasich, Mitch McConnell and many others specifically in the Ohio and Kentucky region are facing major challenges—which is how things are supposed to be.  The Wall Street Journal is one of the last of the respectable papers in America, so it was wonderful to see Ann make the news.

A lot of people throughout the country do not know that Southern Ohio is ground zero for the heart and soul of the country.  The primary resistance to public education solidified in this region, it is the front yard of major GOP Republicans and is the heart of a current civil war within the Republic Party situated specifically in Butler County, Ohio where old school cronyism is meeting up head on against the new rebels of the party who are insisting on Constitutional purity.  At the heart of many of those activities in many different capacities has been Ann Becker.   So it was good to see her mentioned in the Wall Street Journal. 

Many traditional Republicans like John Boehner and the money machine that funds him primarily coming from the Carlos Todd Republicans, are bewildered as to what people like Ann have been yearning for.  They thought that all they had to do was come out against abortion, stand for lower taxes with lip service, and present a resistance to same-sex marriage that the religious base of the Republican Party would fall in behind.  The well-known business method which people like Carlos Todd of Butler County—a developer who has used political involvement to ensure the stability of his investments—is that you pay to play ball and if someone wanted to work hard, got to know all the right people, that anybody could make it in America. 

But that’s not how things were supposed to be, and people like Ann have stood against it—and behind her legions of much more radicalized advocates for Constitutional purity are calling for the heads of Carlos Todd’s Republicans. Ann was always level-headed and understood all sides of an argument.  She even ran against me in 2005 in support of the Lakota levy.  By 2010 she joined me in opposition, but we did not always stand together on those battle lines just as now there are many who wish she’d take a sword to the head of the GOP when other methods are already well under way that don’t make such a mess.  But the underlying current to the politics of Southern Ohio whether it is the efforts of the West Clermont School District to stand against organized labor control of the school board, The Liberty Township Tea Party fight against the IRS and being in the middle of the civil war in Butler Country where John Boehner/Todd Republicans are fighting against Tea Party activists, or Ann Becker’s efforts to dethrone the Speaker of the House in Washington D.C., and my overarching attempts to throw a light on all forms of collectivism spanning through all those fields.  There are few places in America where the war wages more vigorously than Southern Ohio, and Northern Kentucky.  Not to be taken lightly, Rand Paul is from the area, and is taking the political message of people like Ann Becker to the front lines of a presidential race.  Paul is too liberal for me, but he does represent the future and I’m rooting for him. 

 

Few people know it, but the Doc Thompson Radio Show on The Blaze is broadcast from Southern Ohio across the entire nation and they have directly taken on virtually every House and Senate seat up for grabs in the 2014 election.  They broadcast from a secret location and often not in the same place day-to-day.  Other popular personalities from Southern Ohio are Libertarian Girl who is also personal friends with Ann Becker and is bringing a youthful following to the libertarian movement pulling votes from traditional Republicans and activating young people who might otherwise be inclined to vote for a Democrat.   

 

The landscape is changing rapidly, and the end result will be something different.  It is hard to tell at this time exactly how, but one thing is for sure, the Grand Ol’ Party will not be a bunch of old men protecting their real estate investments in the future, and they will either adopt, or they will become extinct.  They will either get on the train, or they will be run over by it—because going back to the old ways won’t happen.  Too many people are awakened now to return back to those complacent times. 

 

People are still apathetic, but as Ann gave me a series of very important news reports of which the Wall Street Journal article was only one, this new upcoming generation is different and is not tolerant of stuffy old Republicans like John Boehner.  There are still plenty of people who will vote for Boehner, probably enough to keep him in office, but that is changing quickly.  Two years from now, Boehner may lose his base completely at the rate of change that we are seeing.  Even if he hangs on to win the primary in 2014, the next time won’t be nearly so easy. 

 

Just four years ago when the Ohio Education Association put out a press release, every newspaper, television station, and news report followed their statements without question.  Now, those same outlets are taking OEA reports far less seriously because there is a lot of scrutiny thrown in the direction of that government based labor union that wasn’t there before.  Southern Ohio has been a place where much-needed gasoline has been thrown on a fire that was already started by Glenn Beck, John Stossel, and many other high-profile commentators who began questioning the status quo.  Like Ann said in the Wall Street Journal, “What got everyone re-energized was the debt ceiling.” It did, and everything mentioned was an offshoot of that issue.   My opposition to public education is driven off the extraordinarily high cost of public education forcing taxes higher on people who may not support the liberal viewpoints of the government schools.  Boehner has done nothing to stop the national debt but use his majority in the House of Representatives to lay down for the President to run him over.  The Republicans have been complicit in the crime of looting the nation, and people like Ann have stood strong against very strong forces who demand the status quo.  But that status is no longer relevant, and the cracks in the system are growing into crumbling supports of a structure that will come crashing down very soon—because there’s no money, intellectual will, or credible aptitude to continue the charade.

I am proud to know Ann Becker.  She has done some great work, and she will always be near and dear to me—because her fight for liberty, justice, and honor started a chain reaction that cannot be stopped now—and she will always be known as one of the first.  It’s a pleasure to know her.
