The Lakota School Wedding Crashers: Levy supporters late to the party and pretentious

I’ve given my two daughters both nice weddings.  One had her wedding at a nice country club setting that was very private.  That was a great experience and has fond memories.  The other was one that took place near downtown Cincinnati in a nice establishment specializing in wedding receptions, and often hosts multiple weddings in the same building.  When my daughter had her wedding at this facility, there were four other weddings going on in the same building and that I didn’t care for.  The place we were holding the wedding was very posh and elegant, but the lack of exclusivity made me perpetually uneasy.  I didn’t like it.

Our wedding reception went on for quite a while and was the last of the multiple weddings to yield to the night.  With that said as the music was thumping and our dance floor was crowded a group of guys from another wedding which had just ended came into our wedding looking for some fun, alcohol, and action.  Well, that was a big mistake, because this is my family, my nieces, and friends of my daughters, not some random pieces of meat for young men to fondle, and I wasn’t going to stand for it.  So I told the boys to get lost, that I wasn’t going to tolerate any wedding crashers.    They insisted that they just wanted to have a good time, and that I should reconsider.  I told them flatly, “NO.”  It was my money, my family, and my decision, end of story.

The boys left with their heads hung with rejection.  They couldn’t help but notice the attractive women in my family and cussed at themselves for the lost opportunities.  However, little did they know or understand that part of the reason there were so many attractive women in my family is because there are men like me who fight to give them some sanctuary to reside within, who keep them from being just cheap pieces of meat for the use of young boys looking for conquest.  Some members of my family thought I was too hard on the boys, and thought the wedding would be a lot more fun if a massive party erupted and I was the “cool” type who allowed wedding crashers to liven things up with their spontaneity.  But I’m not that kind of guy and if I’m spending thousands of dollars on a reception center for my daughter’s wedding, it will be the way she wants it—and wedding crashers didn’t fit the profile.

I spent about the same amount of money on that reception hall as I do in taxes for the Lakota school system each year which is the public school in my area.   Yet just last night embolden by events at the Lakota football games where the school had a booth set up passing out campaign signs for their upcoming levy attempt, several emails and comments came my way from levy addict supporters who were charged up with “school pride” established at the football game.  The message to me was that if I didn’t like the tax increase then I should move out of the community.  Click the link below to see one of those comments and my response.

To me, those types of people are like those kids who wanted to crash my daughter’s wedding.  I graduated from Lakota many years ago and have lived in the area most of my life.  When I was a kid I grew up in a house along 747 when it was farmland for as far as the eye could see.  My home was on the kind of land that the Carriage Hill homeowners are paying 150K per plot to own today.  But I lived on such anchorage when very few homes could be seen from my front yard.  Traffic down 747 had the character of a distant country road.  My boyhood home is gone now replaced by a strip mall that one of the guys in my group No Lakota Levy built.  I didn’t always get along with those guys, but we did join together to fight the Lakota schools massive taxation plans for a community we had all been in from the beginning.  I have watched many new homes move into the area who are willing to pay extraordinary amounts of money to have essentially what I had as a kid—and that’s fine.   I understand wanting to have the best for families.

But when snot nosed despots move into the area with about a 5 second investment of their time and resources into my community then tell me I need to move, I think back to the kind of mentality that was exhibited by those wedding crashers at my daughter’s wedding that I had to run off.  These new pretentious homeowners who have moved into the Lakota community and overpaid for their properties due to their own stupidity, and arrogance are wedding crashers in the Lakota community relative to my position.  I am the one who paid for everything with my years of tax revenue contributed, and I helped shape the school into what it is with my participation in it, because I attended there.  So it’s my business if I want to tell the Lakota administration they are full of shit and need to manage their money better.  And if I want to call the levy supporters a bunch of pretentious latté sipping prostitutes with asses the size of car tires, and diamond rings to match—I will do it, and I have a right to do it—because it’s my community and I’ve invested a lot more in it than they have.

The levy supporters think that just because they show up in Lakota and purchase a half million dollar home on a quarter acre plot of land that they have some right to tell people like me to move if I don’t like their intentions to vote for higher taxes.  They are just as stupid and immature as those wedding crashing young men who thought they could come to my daughter’s wedding and play out some fantasy of what they saw in a movie.  In that fantasy they thought I’d sit idly by while they grabbed the asses of the women attending and had a jolly time drinking from the bar while I paid for everything and quietly sat in a corner and acted like the out-of-touch middle-ager they thought I was.    To their mindset I was old, and I had my day in the sun, and I should sacrifice myself to the youth so they could have their fun, and memories which they wanted to make at my expense.  The same mentality is present with the wedding crashers of Lakota.  A bunch of pretentious snobs have moved into the area and think that their little 7 to 8-year-old children should have infinite resources and that the community should spare no expense for their pleasure.  They are of course wrong.

I spend as much money in taxes on Lakota every year as I did on just that dance hall for my daughter’s wedding.  So it should come as no surprise what my response to the wedding crashers of Lakota is.  To me they are mindless zombies who don’t consider what the cost of a tax increase will do to the community, but only indulge in their own short-term desire to fill their bellies, and they have no right to make any demands, let alone move into my community then tell me to move out if I don’t like their decisions.  That is not how the world works.

If that is the levy strategy concocted at the Friday night football games by the pro levy crowd, good luck.  I’m not the only one who feels that way.  To most who live in the Lakota community, they see the levy zombies the same way I do, as wedding crashers.  Those types of people—the wedding crashers do not care for all the events that led up to the wedding, they only want to attend the party once everyone else has done the work.  In Lakota, few have done more work than I have, and few have the concerns of Liberty Twp., in their blood more than I.  So it naturally disgusts me to see pretentious, short-sighted snobs enter the arena of debate with demands for higher taxes to cover a neurosis that resides deep within their psychological imperfections.  I do not tolerate “community crashers,” especially when I’m paying the bill.

War in Syria: The real cause of chemical weapons in control of terrorists and dictators

I am not a supporter of military engagement in Syria by America.  If “they” do so, “they” will do it without my backing.  If “my” military must engage in the long mismanaged debacle in Syria, it is due to the incompetence of our own government—driven by progressive politics that does not represent me—but has “progressed” along to do their own thing for global reasons.  By saying such a thing I understand that the “establishment” will attempt to label people like me as a radical for not supporting our military—but so what.  I could care less.  To understand why, watch and listen to every video on this article so that you too may come to understand the real intentions, and meaning of the Syrian military engagement and what is really behind it.

Few recently have even contemplated how Syria acquired the supposed “chemical weapons” to begin with, which has set off this whole debate.  As to the question as to why America must become involved in Syria the reason is that it is highly likely the weapons came from American CIA involvement to begin with.  Here’s why:

As reported in the New York Sun on January 26, 2006:

“‘There are weapons of mass destruction gone out from Iraq to Syria, and they must be found and returned to safe hands,’ Mr. Sada said. ‘I am confident they were taken over.’”

“Mr. Sada’s comments come just more than a month after Israel’s top general during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Moshe Yaalon, told the Sun that Saddam ‘transferred the chemical agents from Iraq to Syria.’

“Democrats have made the absence of stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq a theme in their criticism of the Bush administration’s decision to go to war in 2003…

“The discovery of the weapons in Syria could alter the American political debate on the Iraq war. And even the accusations that they are there could step up international pressure on the government in Damascus. That government, led by Bashar Assad, is already facing a UN investigation over its alleged role in the assassination of a former prime minister of Lebanon. The Bush administration has criticized Syria for its support of terrorism and its failure to cooperate with the UN investigation.”

In September of 2002, Reid is quoted as saying:

“Saddam Hussein has, in effect, thumbed his nose at the world community, and I think the President is approaching this in the right fashion.”

And then in October of 2002, he said:

“We stopped the fighting [in 1991] on an agreement that Iraq would take steps to assure the world that it would not engage in further aggression and that it would destroy its weapons of mass destruction. It has refused to take those steps. That refusal constitutes a breach of the armistice which renders it void and justifies resumption of the armed conflict.”

And then, finally, in 2008, said:

“Now I believe, myself, that the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense…and you have to make your own decisions about what the President knows…is that this war is lost and that the surge is not accomplishing anything, as is indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.”

I would also be equally nervous if I were Nancy Pelosi, who in December of 1998,said on her congressional website:

“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”

And who then said in May of 2004:

“I believe that the president’s leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers…”

But how did the weapons get to Iraq?  Well, many have long forgotten that Saddam Hussein was put in place by American desire to send Iraq into war with Iran, and the weapons likely were given to him by America, directly or indirectly, to off-set the Iranians during the Iran, Iraq war.  From 1980 to 1988 Donald Rumsfeld could be seen shaking hands with Saddam Hussein openly showing support for Iraq.

Tensions between Iran and Iraq were fueled by Iran’s Islamic revolution and its appearance of being a Pan-Islamic force, in contrast to Iraq’s Arab nationalism. Despite Iraq’s goals of regaining the Shatt al-Arab,[note 2] the Iraqi government seemed to initially welcome Iran’s Revolution, which overthrew Iran’s Shah, who was seen as a common enemy.[4][25] It is difficult to pinpoint when tensions began to build, but there were some cross border skirmishes, including when Iraqi aircraft bombed an Iranian village that anti-Iraqi Kurds allegedly hid in on June 1979.[31]

After this incident, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini called on Iraqis to overthrow the Ba’ath government, and it was received with considerable anger in Baghdad.[25] On 17 July 1979, despite Khomeini’s call, Saddam gave a speech praising the Iranian Revolution and called for an Iraqi-Iranian friendship based on non-interference in each other’s internal affairs.[25] When Khomeini rejected Saddam’s overture by calling for Islamic revolution [17] in Iraq, Saddam was alarmed.[25] Iran’s new Islamic administration was regarded in Baghdad as an irrational, existential threat to the Ba’ath government, especially because the Ba’ath party, having a secular nature, discriminated and posed a threat to the Shia movement in Iraq, whose clerics were Iran’s allies within Iraq and whom Khomeini saw as oppressed.[25] Some scholars have argued that Iranian-backed attacks and cross-border raids on Iraqi territory compelled Iraq to launch a preemptive invasion.[32]

However, Iraq’s regime was very politically secure, and in little danger of being overthrown by alleged plots of revolution-wracked Iran.[17] According to some sources, Khomeini’s hostility towards Saddam was actually milder than his Arab neighbors hostility towards Saddam.[33] Saddam’s primary interest in war stemmed from his desire to right the supposed “wrong” of the Algiers Agreement, in addition to finally achieving his desire of annexing Khuzestan and becoming the regional superpower.[17] Saddam’s goal was to replace Egypt as the “leader of the Arab world” and to achieve hegemony over the Persian Gulf.[34] He saw Iran’s increased weakness due to revolution, sanctions, and international isolation.[27] Saddam had heavily invested in Iraq’s military since his defeat against Iran in 1975, buying large amounts of weapons from the Soviet Union and France. By 1980, Iraq possessed 200,000 soldiers, 2,000 tanks and 450 aircraft.[4]:1 Watching the powerful Iranian army that frustrated him in 1974–1975 disintegrate, he saw an opportunity to attack, using the threat of Islamic Revolution as a pretext.[4][35]

It would appear that once the relationship disintegrated between America and Iraq leading to two wars in two subsequent decades, the Iraq’s chemical weapons were stored across the border in Syria so that UN inspectors would not discover them leading up to the war with Iraq during 2003.  America knew Iraq had the weapons because they allegedly supplied them, even if they couldn’t find them.  That was because Hussein’s buddy Assad was storing them in Syria.

But years later after America had finally removed Hussein from control of Iraq, the modern progressives went to work on Assad.  This is how John Kerry as a senator was seen dinning with Assad as their wives gathered to discuss all the fine shopping options in Syria.    A photo is going viral (GO AHEAD, CLICK ON THE LINK) showing the Kerrys and the Assads enjoying quite the intimate dinner in 2009.

Kerry was leading a delegation to Syria to discuss peace in the region at the time. According to French news agency AFP, Assad told Kerry during that visit that America needed a “proper understanding” of issues Syria faces.

Kerry has met with Assad on numerous occasions and once lauded Assad in 2011 as being a “very generous” man, according to the Weekly Standard.

“Well, I personally believe that — I mean, this is my belief, okay?” Kerry said. “But President Assad has been very generous with me in terms of the discussions we have had. And when I last went to — the last several trips to Syria — I asked President Assad to do certain things to build the relationship with the United States and sort of show the good faith that

Now that all the progressive manipulation in the Middle East region has come to fruition it is time to cash in on the years of investment and wash everyone’s hands of the evidence.  That is the cause of most conflicts between nations, when governments have to clean up their mistakes from the past.  War is the great eraser which wipes away the sins of history—the manipulation of progressives in a region designed to advance their agenda.

The current situation in America is that Obama has a trail of scandals behind him and is falling in the polls.  The Republicans are terrified of getting stuck in a budget battle in September, so all the statists in the American government need something to avoid the justice seeking their careers.  War is the great unifier which often brings together members of all political parties under a common flag.  After all, that is the mantra of the Skull and Bones Society.  Military action of any kind is an attempt by the current government in America to erase years of mistakes they have made following interests that do not reflect The Constitution.  I do not trust the American government to do the right thing, so I certainly don’t trust them to spend lives and limb to erase their errors at a cost I provide with tax money.

I’m all for providing humanitarian aid, but the poor people of Syria are only a small group of people in the grand scheme of the world where millions upon millions of people suffer under governments not advocating capitalism.  Military engagements to help rebels who are built by terrorists to help former friends of Saddam Hussein is a no win situation that will not bring about justice, but only serve to allow the current government in America full of statists, progressives, and open socialists to cover the sins of their mismanagement of the Middle East region.  So I do not support military engagement in Syria.  If the U.N. wants to see justice there, let them use their own troops not supported by America do so, and see how far that goes.  I am not open to allowing the United Nations to believe they have authority over Syria by dragging America into a war so that they can take the credit for justice at our expense.  Syria is a mistake and will only serve to allow the bad guys to hide just a little while longer, and many of those bad guys, are in the American government.  They cannot be trusted to do the right things…………because if they could be, there wouldn’t be chemical weapons in Syria to begin with.

Lakota Should Be Prosecuted for Anti-Trust: Public Education is exempt from monopoly status through “state action”

If Lakota as a public education institution were viewed with the same standards as Microsoft, Apple, or the railroads of the 1890s, they would be guilty of anti-trust violations according to the Sherman Act.  Lakota as all public education institutions backed by the federal government are monopolies, and the cost imposition that they inflict against communities is directly related to their anti-trust status.  Using logic, Lakota should be judged by the same standards that private industry has been prosecuted under.  CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHERMAN ACT of 1890.  Public schools are monopolies and they openly stand against competition which is why they cost so much in tax money.  The obvious solution to this dilemma is to prosecute public schools under the Sherman Act or something like it so that competition could be implemented.  Yet it would appear that all government entities under state control are exempt from The Sherman Act.  This means that government can prosecute private business behaving in an anti-competitive fashion, but private industry cannot prosecute government for performing in a same manner.

In 1943, the Supreme Court first created the “state action” exemption to federal antitrust law in a case called Parker v. Brown. The California Agricultural Prorate Act of 1933 had established special marketing programs for agricultural commodities to restrict competition and raise prices for producers. Porter Brown, a raisin packer, sued W.B. Parker, the California Director of Agriculture, charging, among other things, that the California statute violated the Sherman Antitrust Act. The Supreme Court disagreed: “We find nothing in the language of the Sherman Act or in its history which suggests that its purpose was to restrain a state or its officers or agents from activities directed by its legislature. . . . The Sherman Act makes no mention of the state as such, and gives no hint that it was intended to restrain state action or official action directed by a state.” States are thus exempt from federal antitrust law, even though California’s agricultural producers would certainly have been in violation had they made a private agreement to restrict production and increase prices.

The result of that 1943 Supreme Court case is that government has been allowed to monopolize as an anti-trust entity against the public without fear of ramifications.  In the case of public schools, property owners have no choice but to pay for the public school that happens to be in their district, as designated by government—the state.  The state created a monopoly status for these public education institutions to ensure their continued funding regardless of performance because there is little to no competition against them.  This allows public schools like Lakota to continue to raise the prices of their service as no other competition exists to drive down their per pupil costs except for other public schools also set up with monopoly status and protected by the state under the “state action” exemption.

In a just world where the courts pursued “fairness” this practice would be highly illegal.  But the courts are not intent on justice.  They are intent on protecting such monopolies for their own preservation as even the courts are part of the monopoly process.  They too are protected from cleaver lawyers by the “state action” exemption, and are free to provide support to the anti-trust practices of government—particularly public schools like Lakota.  Lakota and their fellow public schools are every bit as guilty of anti-trust practices as the railroads of 1890 provoking the creation of the Sherman Act in the first place, as statism philosophy in government desired to control the capitalism being unleashed by the industry tycoons of the era.

For the protection of private business and residents who pay the taxes there needs to be a version of the Sherman Act introduced that protects society from the monopolies of public education.  Personally, I don’t believe there should have ever been a Sherman Act—that the government overstepped it’s boundaries upon its creation.   But as the current Supreme Court looks upon the case-law of the like–1943 Parker v. Brown case, they provide a way out for prosecuting their fellow public workers with anti-trust.  Such excuses for statism need to be removed.  If the government can prosecute industry for anti-trust violations than private interests should be able to prosecute the government with the same intention—to influence competitive options and supposedly keep costs down to the consumer.

The solitary reason that costs are out-of-control in public education institutions like Lakota is because they are monopolies.  They are functioning anti-trusts protected by government to eliminate competition which drives up their costs against the communities they supposedly serve.  For the protection of all tax payers, anti-trust legislation should be brought to fruition protecting all against the violations of monopoly status in public education.  If the Sherman Act exists to prosecute businesses supposedly guilty of anti-trust, then a new act needs to be created so that future Supreme Courts do have the language to prosecute public sector interests that is operating as an anti-trust—such as public education.

Lakota in 2013 is seeking a new levy and they expect that nobody will question the merit of their tax demands.  They can issue any financial information to the public they wish and we are stuck with the results because there is no competition.  If a property owner has possession of a business or residence near the Lakota school system, they must pay taxes to the public school because of their monopoly status and lack of competition mandated by the school.  When Lakota states that they have done everything they can to save money and in order to continue being a good school, they must have more money; they make those kinds of comments knowing that they have no competition to prove otherwise.  Private schools and neighboring schools are not competition when they are not working to solicit the business of the same student base and when it comes to public education at Lakota it is not Lakota East against Lakota West regarding finances.  One does not try to outperform the other in a race to perform the best service for the lowest cost.  The reality is that Lakota as a district is under the control of a monopoly.  Their costs are driven by a labor union and that group does not want ANY competition.  Their mandates are created by politicians, not the free market.  They are the worst kind of anti-trust there is, and it is criminal that they are allowed to exist as monopolies under different rules than what the private sector witnesses.  If there were any justice, Lakota and all public schools would be prosecuted as monopolies by the federal government with the same fanfare that was shown against the railroads, Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, or Microsoft.   The trouble is the prosecutors would be the same people who built the current monopolies, the public workers who are the employees, lawyers and politicians who built the public education system.  With the same vigor that the government proved in court that Rockefeller and the other “monopolists” who fell victim to the Sherman Act would not do the right thing and allow fairness in the marketplace, the public workers will not regulate themselves—so they must be made to do so with law—or some other method.  To stand as an illegal entity with the backing of the federal government to impose their will against the tax payer as a monopoly is simply unconscionable.

Teri Benning Speaks the Truth about Lakota: A former school board member lets go of a hard reality

 

Very few things make me emotional; however the words of Teri Benning at the end of a recent West Chester Buzz article nearly brought tears to my eyes.  It is not often that truth is spoken, let alone written in public these days, yet Teri uttered such a truth about the upcoming Lakota Levy and I felt pride swelling upon hearing the delectable words of a Lakota tax payer.

“Instead of making plans on how to spend the money that has not been approved yet and adding back things to blow the money on if approved, why don’t they make some long-range plans and keep it for a rainy day? They’re worse than a 10-year-old with $20 burning a hole in his pocket!”

Teri Getz Benning

http://westchesterbuzz.com/2013/08/13/lakota-local-schools-release-details-of-levy-proposal/

Aaaaaaaaahhhh.  I liked that so much I want to read it again…………………………

“Instead of making plans on how to spend the money that has not been approved yet and adding back things to blow the money on if approved, why don’t they make some long-range plans and keep it for a rainy day? They’re worse than a 10-year-old with $20 burning a hole in his pocket!”

Isn’t that just wonderful?  Doesn’t that just make fantastic sense?  Of course it does.  Yet that is precisely the imagery I think of when I think of Lakota, that they are like 10-year-old kids with money in their pocket and a burning desire to spend it somewhere on something as fast as they can.  They lack any real discipline, logical understanding, or desire to do what is right for the community and instead regulate their thinking to the same old failed education policies of the past—policies that do not work, are not helping children become the best in the world intellectually, and is an obvious money pit.

It’s no secret by now that I have several personal friends who are either former school board members of public education and have thrown their hands up in frustration to now fight against it, or are current school board members who want to reform the system from the inside out.  One of my very dear friends is a former school board member from Lakota and has a wonderful insight into what goes on behind the scenes legally, and illegally, and could tell stories for the rest of all our lifetimes about what she has seen, heard, and read from Lakota—even school board members still active.  Her stories are intense, and to the untrained ears may appear radical, and over the edge.  But the passion of her statements is different from the bold logic of people similar to Teri Getz Benning.  My friend has been too close to the situation for too long and knows clearly what has been wrong in public education and just how sinister the situation has been for a very long time.  Her anger and passion are driven from insider knowledge that should send chills up the spine of every tax payer in the country.  Recently she left me this comment about another Lakota article I had written about.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.

The public school system is in the extortion and indoctrination business. In the case of Lakota, about 67% of the taxpayers do not have children attending the schools. Yet the teacher’s union and the parents do expect senior citizens and working people to support the system to the degree of extravagance that they desire. They must have new schools, new equipment, new programs, new sports programs, new buses etc. The older schools are just not good enough.

In spite of having everything new, data seems to prove that each generation of students has not been taught the basic skills to survive. Even IQ’s have dropped drastically from those of the people during the time of the founding of this nation.

No one should doubt that any new money given to any school district will be poured into salaries and benefits. That is the clear reason why the teachers, administrators and PTA (an arm of the NEA/AFT) work so hard to shame voters into voting to tax their neighbors even more.

It is high time to put a halt to this racket. Teachers are NOT underpaid. They have the summer and bountiful days off and still make as much as architects and lawyers. STOP them now!

The only defense Lakota, or any public school has against the comments of this former school board member is to call her crazy, psychotic, or a radical conservative, just as they have attempted to call me names in hopes to deflect the ears of the taxpaying public away from the truth, a truth that was spelled out above.   Public schools are indoctrination centers for the government and they are harming our children, not helping them.  This is an inconvenient truth that many pray is not the case.  Many supporters of public education love the social appeal of sports and other community programs that center around a school, and do not wish to see the ugly truth—but that doesn’t make it go away.  The truth is the truth and cannot be made into a falsehood with wishes from Aladdin’s lamp.   Public education is a racket, and corrosive scheme designed to destroy minds, rip up families, and suck the life blood out of all communities from which they reside.  Public education institutions are the cockroach of the government employment family and they should be treated as foul, vile insects that must be exterminated from our communities.  They lie, cheat, manipulate, and put themselves between parents and children in terribly destructive ways.

But my friend and I have seen too much of this truth to be objective any longer.  I despise those institutions of learning for what they don’t teach, and what they do I find repulsive.  I would like to see an end to them all and have parents take control of their children’s education completely.  That is why I enjoyed the words of Teri Benning so much, because there is no radicalism, no jaded perception present—just an honest opinion rendered from observation with an appropriate metaphor.  It is good to see that such people are out there and that they voice their opinions. At best public education institutions like Lakota are similar to 10-year-old undisciplined children.  They cannot wait to spend money they do not have yet have, and once they do have a little, they are ready to spend it on every silly thing their immature minds can conger up.  It is a relief at this stage of the game to see that new people like Teri are making their opinions known, because for every one of them, there are many dozens who sit fearfully on the fence afraid that the Lakota Levy Zombies will discover them and seek to destroy their social reputations with strong-arm tactics of peer pressure and raw emotion.  But increasingly, the trend is to not fear the Lakota Levy Zombies, but to fight back against them—which is a wonderful trend.  Whether the emotions range from the logic of Teri Benning, or the jaded realism of my former school board friends, the trajectory of emotion is pointing away from traditional public education and more toward a privately funded enterprise that excludes the government indoctrination, and for that I am very, very, happy!

Doc Thompson Dismantles John Boehner: “Gotta do whatever I can to save the children, the puppy dogs, and the rainbows,’ dirt bag in congress.”

According to Doc Thompson on The Blaze Radio Network John Boehner is a “pinko, commmie, bed wetting, mambie pambie, hand wringing, crying, orange tinted, ‘I’ve gotta do whatever I can to save the children, the puppy dogs, and the rainbows,’ dirt bag in congress.”  It should have been clear from the outset that John Boehner had been bitten by the progressive bug of statism when he took the gavel of House Speaker from Nancy Pelosi, then immediately started crying.  Boehner was crying because he had gained enormous power the way he perceived it–3rd most in the entire world behind only the President and Vice President of The United States, and he was proud of himself for being elected into that position.  He was proud that his peers had just voted him in congress the equivalent of the Homecoming King of a big high school football game.  They had enough faith in him to protect their lobby interests on K-Street, to look the other way while they made millions off insider trading on Capitol Hill,  but worse of all, did exactly what Doc and his producer Skip established during the following broadcast,  use Cloward and Piven methods of overwhelming financial systems in order to create havoc allowing for massive changes in American philosophy through case-law to bring about “progressive changes.”  This is what Congress led by John Boehner is guilty of doing by adopting methods of making illegal aliens legal so that they can vote in upcoming elections.   Listen to that epic Doc Thompson broadcast from The Blaze Radio Network at the video below.  (CLICK HERE TO LISTEN LIVE)

John Boehner recently sent Barack Obama a birthday present knowing full well that America is burning on several fronts, many inspired directly by those same Cloward and Piven strategies designed to invoke progressive changes.  In the world of Capitol Hill the idiots there believe that they are royalty and actually rule over the population, and in order to stay in such power they must continuously find new ways to “game” the system in order to increase their voting blocs, and they do this by giving away the wealth of others, confiscated through government, and literally buying votes in elections based on their wealth redistribution.  The Democrats have done this kind of thing for years, and now the GOP is doing the same once they suffered a stinging defeat after Barack Obama was elected for a second term.

The GOP lost the last election because they played by the rules against an opponent where anything goes.  The GOP did not respond accordingly.  Fewer voters participated in that election on their behalf than did in 2008 showing support for John McCain and the first possible woman vice-president Sarah Palin.   Palin was publicly dismantled by attack through every branch of the media ruthlessly, even though she was a woman—because she was a conservative and had been a successful governor.  McCain was simply too much of a “nice guy” to respond to any attacks from the left believing that he and his party were above such a fray.  Republicans under McCain’s leadership routinely believed incorrectly that they were “above” such fisticuffs while Obama and his minions ruthlessly attacked all their political opponents with blood in their eyes and a knife behind their backs.  The GOP has failed to respond to progressives in American government since Ronald Reagan was in office three decades ago.  Instead, they have taken up the mantra, “if you can’t beat them—join them.”

This is how Republicans have invested so much of themselves in the new Gang of Ocho Bill that seeks to give amnesty to illegal aliens.  While the budgets across the nation collapse under progressive strain, the GOP seeks to find voters for 2016 among the illegal aliens hoping to beat out the Democrats in giving away more stuff to earn those voters.  Meanwhile they have surrendered ground to their old base of support assuming that they will always vote for the GOP instead of the lowly Democrats.  But they have been wrong.  Instead of holding their nose and voting or people like John McCain in 2008, then Mitt Romney in 2012, they just stayed home to watch sports, play video games, or went shopping.  People have stopped being interested in politics because of all the crookedness that is going on in Washington, surrendering their voting rights to the illegal immigrants who mean well, but often come from statism controlled governments and see nothing wrong with taking all the free stuff the American government wants to give them to earn their votes.

This brings everything around to Doc’s statement about Boehner.  Boehner was supposed to use his power to bring about justice, and enforce righteousness, yet he has refused choosing instead to defend government statism.  Boehner has chosen to “get along” with a president who has openly been hostile to the American way of life.  Obama is a devoted radical of the left and ran an administration that will go down in history as one of the most corrupt and secretive in the history of presidents.  From the questionable origins of Obama’s birth and education background to the Benghazi scandal, to the IRS attacks against conservative groups the Executive Office has openly used Cloward and Piven methods to “progress” society to the left by yanking the Overton Window dramatically in that direction.  John Boehner has stood by like a weeping child and let him do it believing incorrectly that Americans don’t want a fight in politics.  He and all those who think the way he does are wrong.

I was proud when a politician from my area took the third most powerful position in the world in 2010.  However, watching what he’s done with it, I am deeply ashamed of the man.  If I saw him or a member of his family around my town, at the grocery, or other social event, I would not seek to shake his hand, or even acknowledge his existence.  A year ago I was invited to a breakfast occasion with John Boehner which I turned down.  Now I would be insulted if I even received such an invite.  I wouldn’t simply refuse due to time constraints, but because it would be an assumption that the host considered me cut from the same cloth of such a weak-kneed, wussy, of diabolical character, soft will, and corruptible spirit.  I would consider such an invite today in late August of 2013 to be equivalent to an invite to fight in a parking lot—because the invitation would be one of disrespect.

Doc was right to call John Boehner all the things he did because the guy has not only done a bad job as House Speaker, but has caved into the enemies of America as defined by logic.  Capitol Hill is a land infested by peasants not of financial demeanor, but of moral aptitude.   They are lacking minds capable of leading anybody anywhere, and to cover their deficiencies, they seek to redistribute wealth to maintain office.  This is what John Boehner and his GOP supporters are after with their support of illegal aliens.  In America foreign immigration is part of what made The United States great, and there is a process for earning the honor of citizenship.  But that path does not involve free phone apps telling immigrants how to “game” the system with welfare abuse and parasitic living.  Anyone who supports such methods deserves to be called everything that Doc called them, and much, much more.

The Best Talk Show Host in America: Doc Thompson ignites the flames of liberty with ‘The Blaze’!

What is the strongest beacon for freedom in the world today?  Is it Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, John Stossel, or any other modern commenter, publisher, or financier?  I would say not.  Is it the multitude of freedom oriented websites like FreedomWorks, or American Thinker?  I would say not.  Rather, I would say that it’s a new force to the entertainment world.  Several years ago the former Fox News star Glenn Beck started his own news organization called The Blaze—which is changing the way the news is delivered.  As an online publication that rivals traditional magazines like Time, Life, and People it also specializes in providing the latest scoop on news stories in the way that made the Drudge Report so important to the art of breaking news stories.  But it’s not even The Blaze that I’m speaking about—not as a website based news source.  In January of 2013 Glenn Beck created The Blaze Radio Network which is an all internet radio station that broadcasts online outside of FCC regulation.  Normally these kinds of operations are fly-by-night and built with pure heart, but little money.  Well, not anymore.  Glenn Beck has invested a considerable amount of his personal fortune into the new Blaze Radio Network and brought in top talent like Doc Thompson and his partner Skip to provide 24 hour a day seven days a week news and entertainment radio that is unparalleled anywhere.

I was very disheartened to learn that my friend Doc Thompson was leaving Cincinnati.  I have been a talk radio fan all my life.  I used to lie in bed as a kid and listen to radio broadcasts from 700 WLW and WMOH till the pre-dawn hours while the rest of the world slept, literally and figuratively.   During my working years, I would listen to talk radio through long hours of 2nd and 3rd shift hard labor.  As I grew older and had started participating in talk radio actively I enjoyed being more than just a listener, especially on Doc Thompson’s Cincinnati show.  I respect the art of being a talk show host.  But Doc was a bit too freedom oriented for the sports talk stations of Cincinnati, and was too big of a name to put on a station that didn’t have a voice equaling his own booming enunciations.  So it didn’t take long before Doc moved on to the Detroit market leaving a void in Cincinnati, and the freedom movement that was so strong here.

There are other voices, but on FCC controlled radio stations, they are somewhat handcuffed by their station managers, and the advertisers who essentially control the content.  Doc has been a breath of fresh air wherever he has worked, but the stations he worked for never allowed him to utilize his full potential of talent consisting of humor, deep political analysis, and a tremendous range of topics that he can discuss.  But more than anything, Doc is the opposite of the kind of radio host that Howard Stern has been—he has deep convictions and tries to be a good person.  He wants to do good with his microphone, and that has hindered him during his long career………..until now.  Glenn Beck hired Doc Thompson in January to start off his new Blaze Radio Network with the 6 AM to 9 AM morning show just ahead of Glenn Beck’s national show and the gloves have come off.  For the benefit of my readers here I have placed two of Doc’s recent shows on the following video clips so that they can be listened to on demand in their entirety.  I would suggest playing them and filling your day with their contents.  There is a lot of comedy, loads of great information, and some deep sincerity from Doc and Skip which is typical of them in what I consider to be one of the best radio show in the history of talk radio that was only made possible because of Glenn Beck’s innovative, and bold investment in the enterprise.

The reason I consider The Blaze Radio Network to be the purest beacon available for the freedom movement is because it is free, and it is not under the regulation of the government in any way.  This allows the programming on the Blaze Radio to be unusually unconcerned with regulators who can threaten to pull their license if at least a balanced approach to statist concepts isn’t adhered to.  Every television, and radio station in America is typically concerned about these federal regulations, and it does water down the content, even on programs like Rush Limbaugh’s.

Doc and Skip are for the first times in their life completely free as talk show hosts, and they are making excellent use of that liberty.  Before any organization can hope to be a beacon of freedom to the listeners they service, they must in fact be free themselves.  Because of the commitment of Glenn Beck into The Blaze Radio Network, it is the most “free thinking” broadcasting anywhere in the world.  It functions the way that The Constitution intended with the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights, to use free speech not in a destructive way to boost ratings with sex, and deviant discussion, but with high quality content from people who care deeply about the topics they discuss.  And for the first time, radio hosts who work for The Blaze have a boss in Glenn Beck who is just as committed to liberty as they are.

I know Doc Thompson personally.  I have been to dinner with him where he and Skip would not stop doing research for their radio show even at 1 AM in the morning.  Doc never turns off his engine.  He never completely shuts down.  Radio work and the matters of current events are his number one passion.  He is constantly analyzing material for his shows, and he ruthlessly looks for fresh content.  Doc is one of the hardest working people I know, and in entertainment/news, this is certainly the case.

Doc has been fighting for a chance to do what he is currently doing for more than 20 years of radio in cities all over the United States.  In one of his darkest days of recent past, he never let up off the gas.  I remember vividly when his wife Yuna Lee left her television job in Richmond, Virginia so she could finally marry Thompson after several years of a long distance relationship.  Finally they were going to be together, living not only in the same house, but in the same city.  Yuna boldly left her job to take a job at Channel 2 in Dayton where she works to this day.  But the very moment the two were married, Doc lost his job in Cincinnati.  He was always a bit too passionate, too “wholesome,” and too “Tea Party” for the Cincinnati stations, which left him jobless again looking for a home.  Even in those moments when he was most tempted to change his style to fit the producers of radio shows, he didn’t.  He held tight for a syndication deal because he knew he was that good and he needed someone to believe in him with financial backing.

Glenn Beck was that guy, and the benefit to freedom is that finally Doc Thompson has NOTHING in his way to be a serious pain in the ass to statists, progressives, communists, union thugs, race baiters, education empires, and every parasitic entity hanging from the halls of government.  For the first time in his professional life Doc Thompson is free to provide the kind of radio that hasn’t been conceived since the very early days of radio broadcasting before the FCC put its claws into the lives of every radio listener.  Doc takes full advantage of this freedom, as evidence in the over 5 hours of broadcasting played above.  I hope you took full advantage of those clips to let Doc’s voice bring the sounds of freedom to your ears.  The Blaze Radio Network it has nearly replaced all my old news sources.  I play it all the time, at home, in the garage, in my back yard, in my car, on my iPod—especially during flights, on vacation, in the middle of the mountains, and in the deepest valleys while camping.  Because The Blaze is broadcast across the internet, and podcasting is always available on Soundcloud, every show Doc and Skip do can be listened to on demand.  By loading his segments onto my iPod I can attend business engagements pausing his information, then resuming when my time frees up.  When riding my motorcycle, I can broadcast Doc into my helmet through my iPod, which is a completely new technology.  Years ago the only way to listen to a radio on a motorcycle was to have a bulky device attached to the handle bars.  Now I can hear Doc anywhere at anytime of day and the information is free.  CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO FIND DOC’S BROADCASTS ON SOUNDCLOUD:

For traditional radio talk show listeners, The Blaze Radio Network has a full staff that broadcasts out of New York the news at the top and bottom of every hour just like most other AM stations.  They are doing much better work than Fox News is, and certainly leaps and bounds above CNN, MSNBC, or any other news source.  The Blaze guys are on top of just about everything 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  They are always there.

For these reasons listed above Doc Thompson on The Blaze Radio Network is the best and most authentic example of a voice for the freedom movement that there is in the world.  Doc works harder, plays harder, and has the tools in his tool box given to him by Glenn Beck to be a monstrous success, which he and Skip are well on their way to becoming.  What they are doing is the wave of the future, and the most effective form of new media there is.  I trust The Blaze in ways that I have never trusted any other news source. Their news is good even when they don’t agree with what the other side has to say. Such as in this example:

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/08/07/we-should-be-like-jay-leno-glenn-beck-defends-tonight-show-host-in-moving-monologue/

The Blaze is a game changer in the news business, and Doc Thompson working for the Blaze Radio Network is a game changer in the world of radio.  The radio business will never be the same again, now that Doc Thompson is loose and able to communicate the truth where it lives most brilliantly, at The Blaze operated by Glenn Beck and managed by hundreds of wonderful people who deeply care about the state of America and it’s role to the rest of the world who look with longing eyes toward the freedoms that only we have.  I would recommend dear reader that you tune in to this wonderful tool for freedom and support it with your attention which will be mutually beneficial for many years to come.

The Worst Kind of Welfare Recipient: Congressman, Senators, Presidents, and all those in between

We often think of welfare recipients as the inner city single mom who has had children recklessly in order to receive more government benefits.  Or the retired crack addicts who spent their youth and money on drugs only to become born again in the eyes of God but penniless, toothless, unemployable adults.  Or the reckless young people who have been taught that they should apply for welfare at every turn by their public schools serving as sign up centers for government assistance promoting reckless behavior so that recruiting for welfare programs is higher.  There is another class of welfare recipient that very few talk about which costs more money than all those demographic stereotypes combined.  That class would be the political class, of which people like Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner are a part.  In fact the most expensive public housing project in the country by square foot  is The White House where the recipients who live and work there are all welfare recipients living off the public dime.  For a breakdown of this political class of welfare takers listen to Darryl Parks from 700 WLW where he brought his usual stats to an epic broadcast which will forever live in infamy.  Listen carefully!

After listening to Darryl is there any hope that any politician from the local trustee, to a federal senator or congressman will ever do anything to cut off the welfare from which they are empowered to give so much money to themselves?  Does anybody think that John Boehner will reform federal spending which would take money out of the pockets of the House he resides over–of course not; otherwise they would not have picked him as their leader.  Boehner was not picked by members of the GOP in the House because of his high ethical standards, his moral authority; his understanding of law—but rather for his ability to keep the members of the federal government firmly entrenched on welfare.  Under no other operation could any worker anywhere hope to make as much money as people like John Boehner have made in the federal government.

As Darryl Parks stated, the reason politicians like Boehner have been in government for so long and is considered a leader of his party is because he has the ability to raise money.  I personally know some of the people who give a lot of money to Boehner– I’m only picking on him because he is my congressman—so I have firsthand knowledge of the guy.  I know Boehner is a nice fellow who my in-laws spotted in their early days at the Beckett Ridge Country Club where my wife and I were married. They knew him through his family as being an up and coming star in politics.  Paul Ryan as a young whipper-snapper at Miami University down the road from John’s home actually put out yard signs for Boehner’s first congressional run in areas like Trenton, Lakota, Fairfield and his college campus.  The speeches politicians give to get elected are all the same, but the result never changes either.  In spite of all the campaign promises what the members who lobby themselves into the political class are really after is easy money where all they have to do is sign up for the vast number of welfare programs offered by the federal government disguised as salary.

I have been to fundraisers where the plates are $500 a plate so the welfare recipients can make appearances to the public.  Knowing of John and his family most of my life as next door neighbors so-to-speak it shocked me recently to see some friends who were worth millions of dollars willingly pass out invites to one of these John Boehner fundraisers.  These very financially wealthy friends looked toward the event as though they were school girls who had back stage passes to the latest boy band concert.  Boehner had been made up to be a celebrity because he was the third most powerful person in the entire world—according to the media, and that designated celebrity status.

But when I look at John I only see a welfare recipient.  He’s a guy who makes his living making rules, and that is a very parasitic existence.  That certainly doesn’t make him a celebrity in my book.  But worse, he does virtually nothing to earn the vast sums of money he takes as a congressman.  Sure he does a lot of “wheeling and dealing” in Washington, but how much of it is for the good of the country?  Not much.  Most of Boehner’s wheeling and dealing is done for the good of his party, so that he can use the celebrity created by the media to generate money from my friends who are willing to pay $50 to $500 dollars a plate to raise money for his “war chest,” so he can win more elections and gain more welfare wealth.

Does any of this make John a bad guy?  No.  It just makes him a parasitic welfare recipient that our modern statist system of government uses to create celebrity status so more people turn to government for their riches, instead of private enterprise.  To stay in power politicians like John need to convince people of real power—those who are wealthy, that their campaign donations are worthy of his celebrity status—an image created by the media for the benefit of all welfare recipients, from the crack whore of the inner city to the residents of The White House. Once John raises his money and stays in power, he then makes his money by appeasing the mob in congress who often gives themselves raises, while enriching themselves with insider trading and lobbyist bribes.  John claims to have a clean record with lobbyists, but he wouldn’t be House Leader unless he turned his head the other way so others could abuse the system.

Yet the only way that the debt ceiling can stop climbing its way back from the $17 trillion dollar mark is for congress, and the senate to spend less money, and to do that, they have to stop taking so much themselves.  At some point in time they have to stop viewing federal office as a treasure chest full of pirates looting and pillaging as though there were no tomorrow.  The result of that behavior is what we have seen in modern Detroit.  California is next, followed by the entire nation of America.  Politicians robbed Detroit blind just as they are now against every taxpaying district where most of the money collected goes to inflated government pensions, and wages that are not representative of the skill level purchased.  For most of these workers that in the federal government pay near six figures in salary, their actual work is only worth bare minimum wage in the private sector.  There is a reason that Washington D.C. has the highest per capita worth anywhere in the country.  It’s not because they make wonderful cars, or airplanes, or even computers.  All they make in Washington are deals from one welfare recipient to another swapping money stolen from the American tax payer for the benefit of themselves.

To some degree or another anyone who is employed off tax money is a welfare recipient, including those who work at NASA.  If the federal government is involved, the employees are welfare recipients.  Not all of them are diabolical menaces to morality, and some actually contribute to the betterment of science.  NASA has done many great things for America and the world, so in some cases, the money can be worth it.  In most situations however, as in the present day political landscape, politicians were never intended to become so wealthy as social servants under elected office—and they were never intended to make life-time careers out of the election process.  So long as the desire for easy money in politics exists, con artists, lawyers, social parasites, and comb over, insecure womanizers will desire to occupy those halls of power that are built off the sweat of the American tax payer—where looting off of goodness is so common that the violations are as frequent as the raindrops of a summer storm in a monsoon soaked region of the world prying for daylight.

What is the “Establishment” and how to Fight it: B.F Skinner’s $283,000 federally funded book ‘Beyond Freedom and Dignity’

Recently I stated that I was in open rebellion against the “establishment” and felt that a real definition was required so that the objective can be known.  We need to know what the establishment is exactly?  When the “establishment” is identified as a villain what is it that we are considering?   Who brings it forth, and why?  Where does the semblance of impoverished drabness which always follows the establishment come from–the tired routines, the stagnant monotony of the so-called “cultured activities” from the movie screen, to literature, to the allegedly intellectual publications?  Anyone is still free to say, write and publish anything that they please in America, yet men and women keep silent as their culture perishes around them from an entrenched, epidemic of institutionalized mediocrity.  Why?  That is what we need to understand before we can rebel against anything.  I encourage you dear reader highly to watch every one of these videos.  If you love yourself you’ll do it.  If you love your children, YOU’LL DO IT!

In 1971 the National Institute of Mental Health granted Dr. B.F Skinner $283,000 to write a book called Beyond Freedom and Dignity. The book argues that entrenched belief in free will and the moral autonomy of the individual (which Skinner referred to as “dignity”) hinders the prospect of using scientific methods to modify behavior for the purpose of building a happier and better-organized society.

Beyond Freedom and Dignity may be summarized as an attempt to promote Skinner’s philosophy of science, the technology of human behavior.  His conception of determinism, and what Skinner calls ‘cultural engineering’.

Burrhus Frederic “B. F.” Skinner (March 20, 1904 – August 18, 1990) was an American psychologist, behaviorist, author, inventor, and social philosopher.[2][3][4][5] He was the Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology at Harvard University from 1958 until his retirement in 1974.[6]

Skinner invented the operant conditioning chamber, also known as the Skinner Box.[7] He was a firm believer of the idea that human free will was actually an illusion and any human action was the result of the consequences of that same action. If the consequences were bad, there was a high chance that the action would not be repeated; however if the consequences were good, the actions that lead to it would be reinforced.[8] He called this the principle of reinforcement.[9]

He innovated his own philosophy of science called radical behaviorism,[10] and founded his own school of experimental research psychology—the experimental analysis of behavior. His analysis of human behavior culminated in his work Verbal Behavior, as well as his philosophical manifesto Walden Two, both of which have recently seen enormous increases in interest experimentally and in applied settings.[11] Contemporary academia considers Skinner a pioneer of modern behaviorism along with John B. Watson and Ivan Pavlov.

Skinner discovered and advanced the rate of response as a dependent variable in psychological research. He invented the cumulative recorder to measure rate of responding as part of his highly influential work on schedules of reinforcement.[12][13] In a June 2002 survey, Skinner was listed as the most influential psychologist of the 20th century.[14] He was a prolific author who published 21 books and 180 articles.[15][16]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._F._Skinner

The direct result of Skinner’s work was that it began to be accepted in public schools the tendency of some students to be “hyper active” in relation to other students and that this behavior should be identified and turned down so that the collective whole could function better as an institution.  Skinner of course justifies this by his term ‘cultural engineering.’  Not many people read Skinner’s book at first except the “academic elite” who would then postulate politicians at charity events, fund-raisers, and other social occasions on the merit of the esteemed Harvard professor and his studies into social behavior, and how they could then be corrected in young people starting in public schools.

Eventually after a decade or two of such postulating the criteria for ADHD began to take root in public consciousness as “established practice.”  After all the studies came out of Harvard!     Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, similar to hyperkinetic disorder in the ICD) is a psychiatric disorder[1] or neurobehavioral disorder[2] characterized by significant problems either of inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsiveness. These symptoms must emerge before twelve years of age for a diagnosis to be made.[3] There are three subtypes of the disorder: predominantly inattentive (ADHD-PI or ADHD-I), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (ADHD-HI or ADHD-H), or the two combined (ADHD-C), which shows all three difficulties. Often people refer to ADHD-PI as “attention deficit disorder” (ADD), however, the latter has not been officially accepted since the 1994 revision of the DSM. ADHD affects school-aged children and results in restlessness, acting impulsively, and a lack of focus that may impair school performance.

Inattention, hyperactivity (restlessness in adults), disruptive behavior, and impulsivity are common in ADHD.[19][20] Academic and social skills difficulties are also frequent.[19] The symptoms can be difficult to define because it is hard to draw a line at where normal levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity end and clinically significant levels requiring intervention begin.[10]:p.26 To be diagnosed as ADHD, symptoms must be observed in two different settings for six months or more and to a degree that is greater than other children of the same age.[21]

The symptom categories yield three potential classifications of ADHD—predominantly inattentive type, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type, or combined type if criteria for both subtypes are met:[10]:p.4

An individual with predominantly inattentive-type may have symptoms including:[22]

  • Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another
  • Have difficulty maintaining focus on one task
  • Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless doing something enjoyable
  • Have difficulty focusing attention on organizing and completing a task or learning something new
  • Have trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, often losing things (e.g., pencils, toys, assignments) needed to complete tasks or activities
  • Not seem to listen when spoken to
  • Daydream, become easily confused, and move slowly
  • Have difficulty processing information as quickly and accurately as others
  • Struggle to follow instructions.

An individual with predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type may have symptoms including:[22]

  • Fidget and squirm in their seats
  • Talk nonstop
  • Dash around, touching or playing with anything and everything in sight
  • Have trouble sitting still during dinner, school, and story time
  • Be constantly in motion
  • Have difficulty doing quiet tasks or activities

An individual with predominantly impulsivity type may have symptoms including:[22]

  • Be very impatient
  • Blurt out inappropriate comments, show their emotions without restraint, and act without regard for consequences
  • Blurts out comments better left unsaid (not always innapropriate)
  • Have difficulty waiting for things they want or waiting their turns in games
  • Often interrupt conversations or others’ activities.

According to the “establishment” some children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD have an increased risk of experiencing difficulties with social skills, such as social interaction and forming and maintaining friendships due to impairments in processing verbal and nonverbal language. About half of children and adolescents with ADHD experience rejection by their peers compared to 10–15 percent of non-ADHD children and adolescents. Training in social skills, behavioral modification and medication may have some limited beneficial effects. The most important factor in reducing emergence of later psychopathology, such as major depression, criminality, school failure, and substance use disorders is formation of friendships with people who are not involved in delinquent activities.[23]  At least, according to the “establishment.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder

In other words the threats to the established order that the government paid “B. F.” Skinner to write about in his book Beyond Freedom and Dignity is children who have “compliance” issues as listed above in the diagnosis for ADHD.  Psychiatric professors with grants of their own using Skinner’s work as their foundation proceeded to frame their work to fit their grant criteria, which was to nudge their testing results into the direction of Skinner’s work, which is proven to have the ability to obtain federal grants for their intuitions of learning.

Very indirectly, the statist federal government has shaped and created “established” thought about the roles that government schools should have in superseding parental authority into making children into subservient within the schools of which the education institutions have a monopoly.  In just a few short decades using the grant system and federal funds to gain power over local authority, the federal government has shaped the thoughts and minds of an entire American population into believing that their hyperactive, imaginative child fidgeting in their chair day-dreaming too much is actually sick, and needs to have their minds turned off so that the entire school can function better under rules of statism established by college professors eating out of the palm of the federal government with  $283,000 checks to write books for the academic class to slowly, surely, become the new generational authority from which everything else will follow.  This is the process that creates “the establishment.”

Now imagine the same process occurring for gun rights issues, feminist concerns, gay rights, racism tensions, economic equality, hunger prevention, political discourse, fashion trends, musical tastes, food consumption, scientific development, even cancer research.  I have told the story here on these pages about the cancer cure invented by a doctor in Texas who just survived a long struggle with the FDA attempting to shut him down.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  The cure for cancer is already known, yet the government does not want it to exist, because they value statism over science based on the grants they have issued to drive the pharmaceutical lobby in Washington. 

The establishment does not want a cure for cancer because their science is built upon dependency, not a cure.  I have also said upon these pages that there is a Skycar just like what was seen in films like Blade Runner and Back to the Future II.  The inventor with his discussions with me is perplexed as to why the United States is not beating a path to his door.  He thought he’d be viewed as the next Henry Ford.  The answer is that the establishment is built around highway transportation; dependent oriented street cars, trains, and busing.  More independence for the average American is not the goal of the federal government who have paid out billions of dollars in grants for solar energy research, electric cars, and more urban development moving citizens out of the suburbs and back into tax controlled communities attempting to reverse the effects of cities like Detroit where people have voted with their feet.  CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.

“The establishment” is a product of a mixed economy.  It is the result of a government that gives the illusion of freedom by dangling the carrot of government dependence in front of colleges, welfare recipients, and even weak-willed government workers who want the extraordinary pay only found in the public sector.  That establishment is shaped by government money issued out in the spirit of research, but with the real intention to shape public opinion through an education system they control through monopoly status, government funding, and federal grants.  Through these mechanisms they can shape society and create “the establishment” to their liking with an emphasis on statism.  When it is wondered why the next generation isn’t rising up to challenge any of these statist claims the reason was already addressed by Skinner’s Beyond Freedom and Dignity.  The direct impact of that book is that the children who would ordinarily rise up to question these methods of established thinking now have their minds placed in shackles with Retalin, so that the poor little things will stop fidgeting in their seats in school long enough for their math teacher to get their phone number and get them into their lair to have sex with them while smoking marijuana—another mind numbing chemical.  This is not an inflated statement. CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW TRUE THIS IS.   The establishment sought to protect itself from the next generation by providing grants to college professors who would write books on the merits of intoxication, social compliance, and peer review so that the ladies on The View, Opera, Ellen and all the other programs designed to represent the establishment will buy into the scam without question.   Within a few years, people find themselves nodding their heads to ideas they have no idea how they got there and wondering what happened to their country as they found themselves mere pawns in the whole design.  Only when the adults go out for a drink later and find themselves drunk and unconcerned about anything do they get a hint of what the establishment has given them—a blank life full of false promises straight from the pages of T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland.  Only then do they miss the unlimited potential that was afforded to them from the American Constitution.  The statist government appearing as the good guy in the whole affair shaped the entire story to the detriment of human souls by hiding their actions behind a shield of compassion.  They became the banker for ideas that advocate their design while rejecting those that do not—such as cures for cancer, flying cars and alternative forms of powerful energy like Thorium.  CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.  The establishment is not about advancing society, it is about creating a political class who rule over civilization with the temperament of the academic.   And with those criteria, they will never stop till every human being is addicted to Retalin and mind numb into blind compliance without knowing why.  The establishment is not controlled by one person, but by one philosophy that many people believe in.  That philosophy is one of social statism, and is how so many people from so many backgrounds can all adhere to the concept molded subtly by the federal government with grant money issued for a desperate desire to continue its collective growth.

That is what I mean by rebellion and what the target is.  It’s not people, political parties, or even buildings in Washington.  It’s the philosophy that supports them all with beliefs that are detrimental to the cause of liberty and desire for every living life to function from free will.

Carlo De Leonibus Saved the Day at Sea World?: Saying the “F” word in front of little kids

There is more wrong than what’s obvious when a beached pilot whale struggled to get back into the water at Sea World in Orlando for about 25 minutes before trainers finally went to push it back in.  The crowd witnessing the event protested in fury.  When no trainers appeared to help the struggling animal after about 10 minutes, Carlo De Leonibus pulled out his cell phone and started filming stating heroically, “I went and told a SeaWorld employee in a dark blue shirt who said it was normal and that it was fine, playing etc.,” De Leonibus wrote in a description of the video he posted on YouTube. “I went back to the bleachers and began recording. What I saw changed my view of SeaWorld forever. The crowd becomes furious, yelling to save the dolphin. After an additional 10-15 minutes after my recording they sent two dolphin trainers in to push the dolphin back in.”  You can read more about the story at the link below.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07/28/families-watch-horrified-as-struggling-whale-cant-get-back-into-the-water-at-seaworld/

Carlo believes that he saved the day for the poor “dolphin” by putting pressure on Sea World employees to react to his media coverage.  But sadly, the truly disturbing aspect of this entire situation is that Carlo should have had a better understanding of the situation before reacting so poorly to his panicked 11-year-old daughter which is why Carlo was at Sea World with his family—to celebrate her birthday.  It was Carlo’s job to explain to his daughter that the creature was not a “fish” and would not drown because it was out of water.  The animal was not a dolphin, but was a breed of whale related to dolphins.  It was a mammal and breathes air just like all people in the world.  The pilot whale could have remained out of the water for hours and been just fine.  The Sea World staff knew that the best way to teach the whale to survive is to let it learn how to put itself back into the water on its own, rather than waiting for someone to come and save it.

Even worse than not having the knowledge about such elementary matters, the father actually cursed in front of his family in outrage that Sea World personnel were somehow not privy to his divine understanding of science.  Upon hearing the hapless father who was filled with good intentions I immediately felt sorry for his daughter.  She has no chance at life with parents who don’t know or understand such basic scientific facts, or lack the patience to get the information if they don’t know.  Their first instinct was to protest like a bunch of radical buffoons to help a mammal that they thought was a fish by attempting to create a public relations nightmare for a wonderful company like Sea World.

More about pilot whales can be learned about at the following link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_whale

This is just another failure of modern society which is addicted to radical institutionalism learned from their public educations.  What the families in outrage at Sea World witnessed was a natural occurrence that they were at the marine park to learn about.  But they assumed that their collective protest had more power than the nature of reality.  Because of their vast ignorance, which they had every opportunity in their public school biology classes to learn about, or the countless documentaries that have been produced by the Discovery Channel, the Learning Channel, PBS, The History Channel, and National Geographic, they were still ignorant to the fact that the animal was not dying on the side of the pool, but was simply stuck and the trainers wanted it to learn how to save itself.

The perception of the protestors reflects accurately the new age of welfare recipients where nearly half of all Americans are on some type of welfare.  Their view of the world can be heard in the protests of the crowd at Sea World.  They believe that Sea World to be good guardians of the world’s sea life, should help such animals from struggling and that it was inhumane to let the creature flop around in agony.  The first instinct when the protesters saw the animal stuck on the side of the pool was that “someone” should help it, instead of thinking first that the animal should help itself.

Another serious issue percolated to the surface as even conservative news outlets covered this Sea World story favoring the view of the Carlo De Leonibus types.  That issue was a general assumption that Sea World’s employees or even the corporation of the amusement park was somehow implicitly at fault because their emphasis was on “making money,” and were automatically up to no good because they are a capitalist endeavor.  Few news outlets came out and said such a thing directly, but they certainly implied it.  The assumption was that the mob of fans who wished not to see the flopping “fish” on the side of the pool knew better for the proper life and care of the pilot whale than the workers of an evil corporation.

The behavior of the De Leonibus family and the media in general points to a social failure that is quite catastrophic, the sheer lack of general education, the allowance of the youth to lead the adults with emotional pleas, and the desire to use activism to change the behavior desired by the masses is a dangerous sign that the human race is failing at an alarming rate in basic intelligence.  It is simply just stunning that the father in this case didn’t tell his daughter—“the pilot whale will be just fine, it breathes air just like you and me.”  And if the father didn’t know that little fact, he could have looked it up on his cell phone instead of trying to play a “gotcha game” with Sea World by recording the natural occurrence in order to stir up public outcry against the park.

I love Sea World.  The service they do throughout the world for marine life is unprecedented.  The knowledge they bring mankind is a true treasure.  And for the good life they bring to animals that would see a far harsher existence outside the amusement park in the wild, any animal living at Sea World is lucky.  They are fed every day at predictable times and they don’t have to contend with natural predators.  A pilot whale in the wild that finds itself beached on some remote island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean doesn’t have any Sea World personnel to push it back into the ocean.  It has to figure out how to get back into the water on its own, and once there has to worry every day about being eaten by a great white shark or even a killer whale.  It is just pathetic that so much was made about an animal at Sea World doing something that is natural in the animal kingdom to receive so much panicky scrutiny from half-baked minds and radical, ignorant, protesters.  Especially protestors who think it’s better to use the “F” word in front of their children while also teaching little girls that they can get what they want by crying, screaming, and being a panicky mess all the while supplementing the behavior with a complete lack of wisdom, logic, or even a desire to learn otherwise.

The Media Controversy: What Trayvon Martin and Barack Obama have in common

There are a lot of problems with Barack Obama’s past, which don’t matter much anymore as he won a second term with the help of the media that refused to report on those tribulations.  Their reasons were ideological and cohesive as they have displayed an alarming collectiveness about them that is like a symphony reading sheet music for their individual instruments.  The author of that sheet music is Karl Marx and before him it was Immanuel Kant.  The media learned this collectiveness in their education institutions that universally accept statism as the future of the human race—after all controlling the media was one of the strategies outlined in the 1958 book The Naked Communist, which has been fulfilled—make no mistake about it.  Barack Obama should not be president if the law were followed correctly.  He is however a concoction of that media control for the reasons they stated, so that a president like Obama could sit in the White House and bring to the world, global socialism.  But is what I’m saying just another “rant” from a disenfranchised voter who doesn’t like Democrats?  No, it’s a deeper problem than that.  The situation is far more sinister.  To understand how sinister, examine the latest media cohesive display of the Trayvon Martin case as articulated by Bill Whittle.  Watch this video and you will begin to see the problem.

The media, collectively from The View, to Ellen, to the CBS Nightly News read from the same Civil Rights sheet music, the same talking points which where practically invented as a work of fiction—yet reported as fact.  George Zimmerman was found not guilty even with all the other aspects of the Martin case that were left out such as the drug abuse, the violent Facebook postings, and the social demeanor of the young man just short of his 18th birthday.  The media wanted to believe that Martin was just a child going to get a harmless drink and some Skittles from the corner convenience store, not that the kid was an MMA obsessed drug experimenter.  Collectively the media projected the same Civil Rights message to the weakened masses which the typical person had little patience to understand.  They were caught wanting to trust those media sources because they were simply too busy in their lives not to.

The trouble with collectivism is that there is no individual thought, and the obvious evidence that so many in the media participated openly in the Trayvon Martin conspiracy as an attempt to sacrifice George Zimmerman to the altar of a progressive Civil Rights power grab shows how effective their propaganda machine is over just one court case.  Imagine what they can do on a large-scale, when Presidents and their administrations are involved.  A glimpse behind the collective façade has been seen with the IRS Hearings, the Benghazi killings, and the unconstitutional appointments that received very little initial reaction from the media until whistleblowers put the issues in front of the worlds’ eyes.  The hypocrisy was very obvious, and millions of Americans aren’t sure what to do with the information now that they know they’ve been lied to.  The Martin case and the Obama administration are connected not just in casual observation, but in this case Obama and his Justice Department activist Eric Holder personally became involved in a states’ rights issues for the simple attempt of inciting race wars in hopes of grabbing more group based power—with the media at their backs to blow wind into their sails.

To understand how this happens one simply needs to understand what kinds of things are taught in high schools and colleges all across the country, especial liberal arts type courses which often dangle from journalism degrees.  Collectivism is taught at these institutions and blind acceptance of memorized information.  Individual thought is rejected as critical applications are paid lip service to, but tucked out of sight in all reality.  If there are federal grants involved, or federal money of any kind such as Race to the Top, or Common Core instruction, that institution is teaching the desires of the government, and that is statism.  When over 90% of all journalists come from colleges particularly with liberal arts degrees, they were all taught the same methods of following orders and sacrificing their individuality to the good of the collective which is why they report the way they do.

Further, the culture on campuses, “the party life” is designed to rob away innocence and individual integrity so that the mind of the campus students can be brought into line with concepts of statism which is taught in the class rooms.  Wonder not why the campus presidents do not fret about the hundreds of rapes that occur every day at their colleges because the personal invasion of a woman’s personal space by sexual predators who are also students are part of the design of the campus experience.  When a young female journalism major wakes up in a strange apartment without her cloths facing people she has never met before at escapades that occurred the night before, when that young student gets a job at the New York Times, or The Washington Post she will avoid the stories of scandal about disgraced political interns who have been black mailed, or the many prostitutes who men of statist power utilize to allow extortion to move their mouths like marionettes, she will report on environmental concerns and social collectivism instead.  The idea of sin will stay in the back of her mind and she will pursue altruistic stories as social redemption might wash away her past, and all the mistakes she made in college.  The collectivism is a natural human reaction to individual shame, so statist desire to see individuals shamed so that they can gain control of individual actions in service to the collective is the typical social strategy that is learned in virtually all education institutions where government money is present.  That is how it starts.  The mistakes in college through drunken orgies are designed to remove individual identity from the participants and therefore critical thought generated from their mind.

After 10 to 15 years of this kind of practice, soon the marketplace of the media is filled with thousands of like-minded professionals who are ready to accept their marching orders from their editors who are promoted based on their left leaning philosophies.  The editor gives the slant and the reporter finds the angle and cuts up the story to fit the direction.  That is what happened clearly in the Treyvon Martin case, and is why President Obama is still president.  The withheld evidence about Treyvon Martin shows to what extent the media can work together without a lot of shared information to arrive at a universal collective strategy.  Critical thought has been stripped from their minds, and they cannot be trusted to provide the truth.  This has always been a problem, but it is worse today than it has ever been because the amount of social penetration progressives have had into college campuses since the 1950s has finally produced virtually every range of influence in the media from those about to retire, to those just entering the business.  For the first time, all ages of media employee have been through the college system after The Naked Communist established the desired strategy, and they all think the same way.

Bill Whittle made a compelling case about the Trayvon Martin evidence, and he was right to end his piece contemplating to what extent the same has happened with Barack Obama.    In an honest world where the media used the First Amendment to pursue truth, justice, and the American way there wouldn’t be a President Obama in The White House, and the Martin case would not have been reported the way it was—and George Zimmerman most likely would have never had to spend a single day in jail.  But the media isn’t honest, and we do have to worry about those types of statist strategies seen in Whittle’s video.  The evidence is audacious and the proof is beyond refute.  But the behavior continues because most people lack the courage to face the truth, even though it is painful.   And for many people their past is laced with the same shame that haunts many journalists—and hampers their decisions from one of individual value instead to collective embrace where judgment is vacant, and sins are revered, in an empire of statism that is protected by the modern gate keepers of the truth.
