Going on Vacation: Journey to ‘The Old Republic’

Christmas with my family is always full of a reverence for Star Wars.  In the picture below one of my daughters can be seen with my young nephew’s Millennium Falcon miniature during the opening of our 2012 presents.  Young and old alike in our family love Star Wars and it is something that we all share when our large family gets together.IMAGE_556

My wife and I are going on a much-needed vacation.  We are going to a place that does not have cumbersome rules, does not have intrusive TSA agents, overpriced drinks and food, noisy hotel rooms with struggling ice makers, oppressive governments, complacent taxi drivers, and stupid border policies.  We are going to a place that allows us to immerse ourselves into the kind of society that shares our sense of value and does not punish us for destroying bad guys.   In fact, in the place we are going, destroying bad guys is desired, and encouraged—and it is there that we can truly be ourselves.  For our 2013 vacation, we are going to a place that is not stuck in the rut that human society currently finds itself in technically, emotionally, spiritually, and fundamentally.

IMAGE_558We have traveled to many places over the years and while I enjoy the experience of new, faraway lands, there are so many limits that often prevent fully enjoying those places that we are looking for something different—something that gives us the freedom to do as we please whenever we wish to do it.  You cannot go these days to the resorts in Mexico without seeing armed teenagers patrolling the beaches, and you cannot even fly without some pervert TSA agent trying to sneak nude photos of your spouse through security checks.  And you can’t go to a resort town without getting overly taxed and soaked financially by the minute as parasites thrust themselves upon you the minute you enter their town.  The food is often too expensive, parking is outrageous, and there are just too many rules these days to enjoy anything.  I had been looking at taking my wife to Venezuela to camp, hike, and explore Angel Falls, but that country is reeking with socialism so it’s off limits to us.  I thought about Australia, but they have no guns and are digging out from their relationship with Socialist International.  I thought about Greece to visit the monuments there, but of course they are in financial ruin.  The same with Spain, France and northern Africa—I thought about Egypt, but they are under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood—so all those exotic vacation destinations feature unstable governments and overly restrictive laws that prevent fully enjoying travel there.  I mean if you’re going to spend $20,000 on a vacation, you should be able to enjoy it and not put up with all the crap discussed above.IMAGE_559

That is why I gave my wife for Christmas this year tickets to a new kind of travel experience, one that we haven’t done before together.   Instead of buying a plane ticket to some faraway place this time, we are going to inner space, to a galaxy far, far away, a long time ago.  For the same price of a couple of airline tickets to Europe I was able to get two new super computers so we can play Star Wars: The Old Republic online with our family members that are scattered all over The United States, fly our own star ships and hang out in the Jedi Temple to our hearts content fulfilling the mission objectives of the Jedi Order.  This vacation destination will allow us to live the kind of life that we really want to live in an environment that is more suited to our personal tastes.  The success or failure that we experience in that vacation destination is only limited by our imaginations, which are too vast for otherwise terrestrial travel.

The video game MMO Old Republic is an immense computer environment that cost Electronic Arts $200 million dollars to create and is the absolute latest in the Massive Multiplayer Online experience.  There is nothing like it that has ever been created, and it took some effort to get a hold of a couple of computers that would run the game successfully.  Old Republic features 17 planets that are fully developed and able to be explored leaving my wife and me with thousands of hours of limitless discovery that is freer than anywhere on planet Earth.  And in the game, we get our own spaceships to travel around that vast galaxy to all those planets in.  If bad guys get in our way we can just cut them down to get them out of our way—no courts, no lawyers, no jail time, nothing to stop our enjoyment of the environment.

When I was growing up I always loved the movie West World where the vacation destination was an old west town that let visitors live out their fantasy of being a deadly gunman shooting it out with robot hostiles.  Well, Old Republic is the closest thing to that reality the human race has so far created, and we don’t even have to leave our house to participate.  We can just roll out of bed, and jump into that world without even leaving our bedroom.  No taxes, no government, no politics, and virtually no rules—it is in my opinion the perfect environment.

I do plan to still keep up my work here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom, but for all practical purposes, my wife and I will be on vacation for a while and not available for life outside of our travels through the Old Republic.  The world outside of that vacation destination does not share with us our values, and it is not our task to bend our values to the degeneration of society.  Rather, we will seek out places for our entertainment time even if it means we must create them ourselves in a fictional environment like Old Republic.  The rewards of that life are much greater than the ones of reality which we are seeking a vacation from.

I’m feeling a bit like a farmer these days, I have planted many seeds and now I have to wait and watch them grow.  But between the time of planting and harvesting, I have some time to take a vacation, and rather than travel to some distant place, I’d rather go somewhere that I understand, that makes sense, and isn’t full of social parasites and stupid rules.  So if anyone wants to contact me, I will be there.   Look me up—of course the way to find me is through the ingame mail system sent to Overmanwarrior.  I’m on the sever, Jedi Covenant, under the legacy name, Swashbucklers.

Another one of my nephews and I spent much of his childhood playing a Star Wars game called X-Wing which was a space combat simulator, that it bonded our relationship forever.  It was very involved, and very exciting.  He remembers the experience so well that it has stayed with him for many years and still last to this day as he is now a grown man raising his own family in Florida.  We don’t have time to talk much anymore, but it is our memories of that game that gave us experiences that couldn’t be found anywhere else.  It meant so much to him that I was his Best Man at his wedding last summer.  CLICK HERE to see my speech at his wedding.  My daughter and her husband met on a Star Wars game called Galaxies that was the previous generation MMO to the current Old Republic.  He was a Galaxies player in England and she was from The United States in the safe confines of her bedroom.    They went on many missions together on that game and lived that life flying all over the galaxy well before either one of them could ever drive a car at 16 years old.  They became great friends and wanted to do in real life the kind of things they were doing on the game as far as adventure and discovery—so they got married.

I was working too hard and too often when all my kids were playing Galaxies.  My wife played it with everyone, but I simply didn’t have the time.  When my wife and I learned that the next generation Star Wars MMO would be a lot bigger, and much more involved than the old Galaxies we promised ourselves we would make time for it.  The game came out last December, but was buggy, and when my oldest daughter tried to play it, it crashed her computer from being so graphics intensive.  So I had decided to finish up my work on my book Tail of the Dragon and once the book launched and was out there in the world doing its thing, that I would buy a couple of super computers that could easily run the game, so my wife and I could play it together.

After Thanksgiving my son-in-law and I went to Micro Center where he declared that he would build the computers for me if I bought the parts, so we picked up a few thousand dollars worth of computer parts and he ended up building two eight core processor beasts that are the Millennium Falcons of the computer world.  The muscle of these computers are designed to easily run such a power draining game like Old Republic for thousands and thousands of hours with countless combat scenarios and exploration over 17 planets and counting.  Each of these planets is massive in their own right.  So that is where we will all be for at least a few months, if not the rest of the year.  At my home in Liberty Twp I have the ability to swim and sit in a Jacuzzi all year with marvelous views and total privacy.  In fact I have all the luxuries of a mountaintop chalet in Gatlinburg, Tennessee that would be found in the best of any vacation home.  And I have time to enjoy them.  What I haven’t had is the ability to travel unimpeded because of the various circumstances that are going on in the world currently with my various family members scattered all over where I can take my wife with me without strip searches, invasive hotel employees, and nosy governments.  Now, with Star Wars: The Old Republic my wife and I can travel all over a virtual galaxy with the youngest of our family and the oldest that have a hard time getting around due to old age.  In the MMO of Old Republic everyone is equal, and has new bodies to run around in once they have become familiar with that simulated environment and accepted it as a substitute for reality.

As for the seeds I’ve planted and the life that goes on in the real world, I will live by the laws of the American Constitution and I will protect it with force if necessary.  I do not accept the United Nations as having any governing ability over me or my family, and I do not accept the case record interpretation of the Constitution as it has been contemplated by inferior minds of looting lawyers and career politicians.  Such a case is the law signed one year ago by Obama and the gang, the NDAA Act.  As far as I’m concerned it is illegal and I do not recognize the authority of the government that signed it.  I follow the Constitution under my definitions and nothing else.  If those authorities have a problem with that, then they will have trouble with me.  I can defend myself against an army and that status will not change.  So don’t come to my door looking for loot to bail out the socialists, the communists, and the global power grabbers, when they run out of money because it will only piss me off.  I’m on vacation doing with my wife and extended family what I desire, which does not have any bearing on the rest of the world, so I don’t expect to hear from them.  It is bad enough that the only way I can see to have real freedom in this world is to play a game online in a fictional world, because the real one is oozing with decadence, loss of value, and restrictive living that is just a prolonged death sentence.IMAGE_557

Besides, in the real world I’ve already played this game out in my head to a check-mate on my perspective battles, and I must wait for those moves made in my head to play out in reality.  Those are the seeds that have been planted.  In the mean time, I am already on to the next stimulation for my mind, the next war, the next struggle over philosophic principles—and that battlefield is in a galaxy far, far away in a world known as The Old Republic.  That is where my wife and I will be vacationing, and enjoying our lives not just in luxury, but in never-ending combat and puzzles only the mind can unwrap.

Doc Thompson Goes Nationwide: Stripping away more than cloths on the air for America’s benefit

One of the things that people most ask me when I’m out and about talking, is what will happen to Doc Thompson—what’s next for him?  They ask me because Doc and I made a lot of waves in Cincinnati when he was on 700 WLW and people enjoyed the playful way that he dealt with very serious topics.  Being a conservative talk show host with a lot of Marconi awards behind his many years of radio experience, Doc is one of those unusual people who have never let the cynicism of life catch up to him.  He has a quality that traditional Americans find refreshing, so when he recently left his radio jobs in Cincinnati and Richmond Virginia to fulfill a position in Detroit on 1270 AM people became concerned.  Then they nearly panicked when they learned that CBS radio was moving around their programming schedules, and that they might not get to hear Doc on the radio yet again.

In reality the opposite is true.  Doc Thompson is actually expanding—he’s about to go into syndication all over the nation which is a deal he has been working on for a long time.   The website that announces his next big step can be seen at the link below along with affiliate information for radio stations who want to bring his unique brand of radio to their airwaves.

http://www.docthompson.net/

Out of all the Doc Thompson broadcasts I’ve used here at the OW, the most popular, is his radio bit called “The Answer is C,” which was hilarious radio while at the same time making his point about why our society is in so much trouble presently.  CLICK HERE to revisit that monumental broadcast. 

Doc often fills in for Glenn Beck’s radio show when needed, so a national audience has already had a taste of what Doc has to offer.  But it was after the Thanksgiving 2012 broadcast on the Glenn Beck Program that Doc really showed how important his unique radio style could be in a nation that has never been so divided without being in open war.  It is Doc’s ability to tackle very serious issues with genuine humor that sets him apart from everyone else.  CLICK HERE TO LISTEN to the entire broadcast from the Glenn Beck Show.

So don’t worry about not being able to hear Doc on the radio.  The truth is that Doc will be available more often and to a much wider audience.  So if you’d like to hear Doc and your local radio affiliate isn’t yet carrying him, send them an email asking them to become an affiliate.  They’ll appreciate the tip since it will instantly help their ratings, and you will have helped your community by bringing a real treasure in Doc Thompson to their radio airwaves.   Doc’s personal story reminds me a lot of the Howard Stern narrative shown in the movie Private Parts.  Doc has a long history of taking chances and jumping from job to job until he found just the right producer and home to build his unique brand.  But unlike Stern who became a household name by having women strip off their clothes on the air to shock audiences into listening, Doc does the opposite, he strips away the truth of Americas contemporary problems in ways that are equally enticing, shocking—but always in good taste.

The Sandy Hook Conspiracy: Hypocrisy on the Political Left and the “fish food” that fuels it

(I would advise that all these videos be watched carefully after the text is read.  Spend some time with this article, and share it with a friend.)

I truly feel sorry for people who are missing the ability to recognize treachery.  I feel sorry for the people who can’t believe that Hillary Clinton’s “concussion” is an old lawyer trick designed to scout out the prosecutor’s position on the Benghazi hearings.  By throwing underlings into the fire to witness the arguments position guilty parties can learn how to make their case.  Hillary is trying to delay her testimony till January while taking the brunt out of the hearings by unleashing her incompetency slowly, allowing her to manage the public opinion presentation more adequately.  Do I think she faked her injury—I absolutely 100% do.  Can I prove it? Of course not, and she knows it.  She is like so many employees who desire to have a day off work; they get a doctor note to say they are in a state of disrepair, giving them an alibi.  But anyone who deals with these issues knows that doctors have no problem writing such notes for their patients so long as they collect their fee.  So only Hillary knows for sure what she is up to.  Experience tells me she is faking it.

Experience also tells me that the Sandy Hook shooting is a false flag, which is very sad.  When I have told people these things, they first say—“do you actually think that our government would kill children to pass gun control legislation?  Do you really think that the government can control people’s minds making them do things?  Do you really think people can be so evil?  The answer is—YES, I do believe those things, based on my experience.  The shooters of both the Sandy Hook shooting and the Aurora shooting have dramatic things in common, both were young, both were intelligent—honor students—and both were very well prepared for investigators to go through their computers and destroyed the evidence of their plans.  The Aurora shooter had booby-trapped his apartment.  Investigators had to set off the traps to enter his apartment which destroyed a lot of evidence.  And the Sandy Hook shooter even thought to destroy his computer hard drive before he went on his shooting rampage.  Doesn’t that seem awfully………..sane?  I mean a guy wants to commit suicide and go out in what he thinks is a “blaze of glory” but he destroys his hard drive to protect whom–or what? These stories have been lost to the emotion of the poor children that were killed and the teachers who died at the school during that shooting rampage.

It appears that the father of the Sandy Hook shooter Peter Lanza was set to testify before the Senate with Robert Holmes, the father of the Aurora shooter in the ongoing LIBOR scandal.  The London Interbank Offered Rate, known as Libor, is the average interest rate at which banks can borrow from each other. 16 international banks have been implicated in this ongoing scandal, accused of rigging contracts worth trillions of dollars. HSBC has already been fined $1.9 billion and three of their low-level traders arrested.  It is very ironic that the fathers of both mass murder shooters are involved in the Senate investigation.  Read more here:

http://beforeitsnews.com/economics-and-politics/2012/12/2-mass-shootings-connected-to-libor-2447738.html

In the wake of these shootings, of course the gun grabbers were already poised to attack America’s Second Amendment, which has been the target of global power grabbers for a long time as indicated by the recent United Nations small arms treaty designed to disarm all countries.  These foreign interests know that it will take a lot of manipulation to remove guns from America, so they are on a public relations campaign to do so, and they do not care if they kill kids to achieve it.  More on that in a bit.  None of these claims are a conspiracy; these are all facts that can easily be looked up.  So the very next thing that people say when given these facts are how could these shooters be manipulated to perform such a terrible task?  Well the answer is that the James Holmes case is revealing many terrible manipulations that have not been reported.  Here are just a few.

In stunning accusations, dated August 27, reveal a startling story by the claimant as having been visited at home by police chief Dan Oates and Dist. Atty. Carol Chambers where they forced the unnamed individual to testify as a fake victim of the shootings, under the threat of being arrested for prostitution and escort services and charity fraud, for the purposes of garnering an easy conviction against alleged shooter James Holmes. But not before being shot by the police chief in “non-life-threatening areas” of the body, according to the motion, to appear as having been shot by James Holmes himself. The motion also claims that it is likely some of the victims in the theater were merely paid actors working on behalf of the conspirators and wants multiple individuals involved in the situation to take polygraph tests to prove their innocence.  Read more about this story at the link below:

Back in 1973 the CIA had to give up on their mind control experiments which seem to have been renamed under new programs and departments which are still at work today under much better technology.  Using microwaves broadcast from radio towers all over the nation there has been success in controlling the behavior of people by sending radio waves directly to the human brain.  Of course this affects different people in various ways.  This condition is so rampant that I featured a fictionalized version of this government strategy in my 2004 book The Symposium of Justice.  In my book it is called the Veil of Knowledge.  But as discussed on a recent episode of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Venture, the Governor and his team investigated the infamous Brain Invaders project, shown above.  Watch it for yourself.  In the decades since WWII, thousands of Americans have come forward, claiming the government has been experimenting with mind control and brainwashing techniques, and they appear to have been very successful.  It is not a stretch to consider that such manipulative microwaves directed in a general population center might create in the mind of the average person feelings of anxiety and stress.  But in the mind of people like the Aurora and Sandy Hook shooters who are of above average intelligence, possibly heavily medicated by prescription medicine that allows the brain to become more prone to such mind manipulation devices, the thin line between thinking about evil and committing evil can easily be crossed—and it appears to have been to the strategic aims of very sinister global interest.

I consider the ability to comprehend such options to be the result of a superior intellect.  It is not easy to develop the creative ability to see how all these dots connect.  Most thinkers are limited by their narrow frames of mind and specialized training to only see their lives in the context of daily experience.  I feel sorry for these people who cannot understand how deeply sinister human beings truly can be, and to what extinct they are drunk for power.  The most obvious hypocrisy for these political thieves would be in the example that President Obama used in his recent speech declaring that the poor children who were killed in the Sandy Hook massacre had their lives robbed from them prematurely stealing the opportunity to raise families of their own and live happy lives.  Obama as a Democrat built his entire presidential campaign on being pro-abortion, being pro baby killers.  Obama used the deaths of the Sandy Hook children for political gain out of convenience and as a push to advance gun control.  Yet many of those children killed in Sandy Hook are only 6 to 7 years older than the many thousands of babies that are killed each year through abortion.  Democrats and progressives do not have a problem killing babies in a mother’s womb, so why do they care so much when the children are killed in a classroom?  Because they can exploit the tragedy for political capital—the hypocrisy is obvious.  Most people never connect such thoughts and it is on the backs of those poor souls that much evil is advanced by their own ignorance.  The forces that are at play in their lives are beyond their simple minds, and evil knows it.  It uses them to spread death and destruction to every corner of every community in every nation and in America it is the Constitution that stands between evil and goodness—and little else.  And evil is attacking that Constitution directly, yet subtlety.

Just because simple minds cannot grapple with such evil designs does not mean they are not real.  But a mind cannot drown in conspiracy theory either.  All that needs to be acknowledged is that Hillary has a high motivation for not appearing in the Benghazi hearings to protect her own political legacy on the backs of many dead Americans that are her fault directly.  Like her husband, she has shown in the past that she will stop at nothing to preserve herself.  And throughout the world, there are many who see America as their threat to global control.  They seek to use emotional events to destroy the nation by undermining its philosophy of self-reliance, and they do have the tools to perform the task—and those tools are being used.  Sandy Hook is just the most recent and the evil committed there goes far beyond a disturbed young person who played too many video games and was angry at his mother.   Of course there is more to it, but the simple minds of the masses lack the heart to look at such evil directly—because they fear what they might see if they open their eyes.

It is easier for these simple minds to trust the words of Obama, of Clinton, of Congress, the Senate, of law enforcement, of their teachers, their “rulers” than to take responsibility for their own lives and think for themselves.  It is easier to surrender their logic to the power-grabbers who will do anything to preserve their positions in the political class, and the strings that are tied to unelected officials who do not care who they destroy, or what they destroy, so long as they can implement their personal strategies.  It is those types of conditions that is the real story behind the Sandy Hook shooting, and those same forces are behind the deaths in Benghazi.  They are connected behind the stage where the stage play we think we are watching is actually being written by minds that reside in the shadows.  The Second Amendment in America is not to shoot deer for hunting, or even to protect ourselves from petty thieves who might rob our homes.  It is to defend ourselves from the kind of people who hide behind the stage and might desire to use our own military against us all—which is why they are seeking to disarm America so that we are defenseless against their diabolical plans.

Evil is very real, and the Second Amendment is dedicated to stopping it.  Evil will not go away if guns are removed from society.  Instead, evil will grow without regulation or fear of resistance.  That is why the deaths of kids are justified by the same minds who claim to support “social justice.”  The focus is not on the deaths of individuals, but on the “greater good”—the collective.  I feel terribly sorry for the people who have lost their lives in these terrible tragedies, Aurora, Benghazi, Sandy Hook and many more that never even get reported.  But I feel even more sorry for the ignorant simpletons who deny that evil is at work beyond the boundaries of their accepted reality.  It is they and their un-complex thinking that act like fish food in an aquarium that evil feeds upon to grow into a menacing entity that is hell-bent to destroy everything in its path with a mindless hunger that can never be quenched.  Denying that the fish exist does not lengthen the life of the food once it is plopped into the water—and America has been dropped into the water.  Below our feet in the depths of the abyss they linger……………and they are hungry.  (Don’t click the video below if you have a weak stomach.  But if you want to understand the kind of raw ruthlessness that is driving events behind the scenes in our society–then watch the white fish carefully.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here is more on the teacher and his motives:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Domestic Enemies of America: How and who can stop them

Apparently most people in America today never learned that they have an obligation to protect our country not only from foreign invasion like the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor, or radical Muslim extremists flying airplanes into the World Trade Center on 9/11, but from domestic enemies as well.  Many Americans have been lulled to sleep by progressive attackers of the Constitution in a diabolical scheme designed to rob America of its wealth and destroy it from within.  Many Americans think that such a statement is the plot of some menacing novel to be found on the New York Times Bestsellers list, not a serving member of their local school board—so they allow many evils to perpetuate unchecked—without action.  But trust me dear reader, as sure as you are reading this now, there is evil working in America right now, and they seek to undermine the Constitution with progressive revision for global aims, and you will not like the result.   Those global aims do not care about your children, they do not care about your jobs, they do not care about your homes, your cars, or your families.  The intent is to rob all those possessions of American sovereignty and re-distribute them to American enemies posing as friends with smiles behind their handshakes, yet holding a concealed knife waiting for our backs to turn.    Yes—the most aggressive enemies of America are functioning within The United States these days and they are rotting the core of our once great nation from the inside out with an insidious plot conducted by the hands of the average person.  The crime of Americas murder will not be by their hands—but by the hands of those rocked to sleep with sweet songs of peace.

I am so certain of this attack that I would give the odds to its validity to be 100% and the politicians who have operated under a flag of “social justice” are essentially no different from pirates who seized vessels at sea in 1670 under a false flag of peace, or solders who entered Troy hidden inside a giant horse, or Muslim pilots training in Florida to fly commercial aircraft into buildings, but showing no desire to land.  Enemies do not announce their intentions with boldness like what might be expected on a battlefield.  Instead, they seek to deceive, and coerce with any measure necessary to attack their target with the most surprise possible.  If they are caught red-handed, they will lie.  They will steal.  They will kill.  They will rob, loot and plunder.  They will spit in the face of God if it means they can rob America of its wealth, and they will do it with bold deception.  If they are forced to testify before Congress with their hands on a Bible they will lie—because they do not believe in God, and therefore do not care about Heaven or Hell.  They regard them both the same—and only desire to pillage all that stand in their way for power and glory in the life of today with no thought to the hereafter.

Who are they?  How can we know who they are when they dress nicely, speak well, have excellent educations with large bank accounts plundered from tax payers—it is easy dear reader.  Very easy.  You can tell America’s enemies by those who seek to manipulate the words of the Constitution to suit their selfish plots.  If they call themselves progressives—they are domestic enemies of America and should be dealt with as such.  There is no reasoning with such people, there is no compromise.  There is no such thing as peace—for as long as such people are supported in the shadows, they will seek to destroy America with their progressive changes and selfish manipulation of robbing from those who have, so they can give to those who don’t.  Yet they are not really helping the poor; they are raising an army of slaves dedicated to their cause by capitalizing on the laziness of those slaves, and their willingness to plunder off the socially productive in trade for a steady flow of food, and shelter not possessing the self-motivation for more beyond those meager daily requirements.  For those daily rations such slaves will gladly become weapons of social destruction fulfilling the diabolical aims of America’s domestic enemies that have slid behind our security to tear down our defenses slowly.

Yes dear reader, it is you who must vanquish these domestic enemies.  Nobody will do it for you.  A politician will not send the military to do it for you.  The police will not do it for you.  The teacher will not provide wisdom so all can see it.  They won’t do it because they have all been recruited to serve this system of American destruction and they do their deeds with each new law passed, every new dollar that is deflated in value, and every new dollar of borrowed debt.   They are utilizing the well-studied methods of Cloward and Piven to attack American imperialism so that they can free the world to the new masters who desire to rule with open communism once and for all.

The obligation to the task of protecting America is no further than the person who gazes back at you from the mirror on your wall.  To turn away from the task is a disservice to our nation, and to ourselves as evil is perpetuated on the back of complacency.  The attack is well under way and is moving along as planned betting that people will not rise up to stop it.  And so far they haven’t, as the politicians have padded their pockets at America’s expense and are hell-bent to submit to the next world governing body of which they have already carved out their personal niches within that framework.  This evil will continue until it is stopped by calling it what it truly is, and not allowing it to do its work without opposition.

The Millennium Falcon: Keeping dreams alive through James Luceno and Chris Lee

One of the questions I get asked most often is how I have remained so diversified over the years, and so passionate over such a wide variety of subjects and still maintain my optimism.  My answer is often difficult and obscure in articulating, and most do not understand once they have heard it, but symbols are a powerful ally into healing the mind from the many unfathomable tribulations it might encounter in a lifetime—and when a mind beholds a symbol it holds in reverence, it becomes possible to always calibrate ones thoughts to the values that are most functional, and beloved.  Religions often use such symbols to focus their minds on eternity, or spiritual awakening.  Voodoo priests use symbols to focus their minds to speaking to those who have crossed over dimensional understanding.  Shamans use symbols to invoke focus on the problems at hand that only have answers in the world of the unknown.    I have always needed something that does all that and more, and for me, the symbol that I most reverently adhere to is the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, the intergalactic starship that is the hero of the entire saga, and has been a representation of complete freedom as shown in that fantasy epic from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.Millennium Falcon

The picture shown above is one that I have had on my freestanding Craftsman tool box that I have had for years as I worked in machine shops and other assembly plants where exotic tools were needed to perform the task at hand, and as every real man knows, the size of a man’s tool box says a lot about the level of the mind that owns it, and their ability to solve problems—and my tool boxes have always been big.  While my co-workers would fill their opened tool box lids with pictures of women in various states of undress, hot rod cars, and images from their favorite sports teams, my tool box had pictures of the Millennium Falcon pasted all over it as it has been a long-standing dream of mine to build an actual full-scale model of that famous movie space ship, and looking at those old construction photos from The Empire Strikes Back has always inspired me to think outside the box, and to never allow my mind to linger on the impossible.   The Millennium Falcon for me is a symbol of always having hope, never surrendering even when the odds are terrible, and trusting that effort will always triumph over technical superiority.  I wrote recently about my intention to build a real Millennium Falcon for $15 million dollars that actually flies with anti-gravity technology.  CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.  In Tennessee there is a small group that is planning to build a replica of the Millennium Falcon for similar education purposes, which I am very excited to see.  CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO VISIT AND OFFER SUPPORT:

http://fullscalefalcon.com/

I adore people like those at Full Scale Falcon.com.  I wish the world was filled with more of them.

I have made it no secret that the car in my new novel Tail of the Dragon was inspired heavily from the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars and many times in my life, I have looked reverently to that classic star ship to reset my thinking on any given topic.  My wife can attest that I engage the engines to my electronic Millennium Falcon that sits right next to our bed every night before I go to sleep.  So I did what I promised myself I would do after a contentious election season in 2012 and that is give myself a break.  I decided to rest from all the heavy-duty philosophy and history that I typically read and pulled a book off our book selves that my wife read last year and had been urging me to give a chance, James Luceno’s novel called Millennium Falcon.

To be honest I did not think the book would be any good and the reason I did not read it earlier was because I needed to finish a few books ahead of it on the Star Wars timeline from the Legacy of the Force series, so just picking the book up to read was not as easy as just reading one book.  Millennium Falcon is a sort of bridge book between the Legacy series and the Fate of the Jedi series, so I didn’t want to spoil anything for myself.  I waited till I had a chance to get to it when I wasn’t so busy.  After the election and all the very heavy reading I did after November 6th 2012 going through books like War and Peace, The Golden Bough and many others, I decided to catch up on some of the Star Wars books from the Legacy and Fate series as well as the Old Republic novels.

James Luceno’s book Millennium Falcon was marvelous, and well worth the wait.  I didn’t know how much I had been wanting to read it, or how much I would enjoy it, because the story is about the 100 year lifespan of the Millennium Falcon from its construction on an assembly line to almost the events that will lead up to the new films that Disney is about to produce, Episodes 7 through 9.  In the Millennium Falcon’s long history under many different owners featuring crime lords, galactic pirates, rogue politicians, fortune hunters, medical innovators, circus performers, and rebel heroes it is literally a star ship that has launched a thousand fates—perhaps billions.  The Millennium Falcon is to Star Wars what the Black Pearl is to Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean.  The Millennium Falcon is a hot rod pirate ship and is simply the coolest piece of technology ever put into a movie.  Unlike other famous movie star ships, the Falcon represents individuality, and freedom which is why I behold it as a symbol still after all these years.

I enjoyed every page thoroughly of Luceno’s book as he takes readers on a heck of a fun story into the Millennium Falcon’s past which was unknown previously in the Star Wars mythology.  I didn’t think it would be possible for a skeptical 45 year-old man to be as excited as a 10-year-old boy over a fictional symbol of freedom in a galaxy that only exists in the mind.   But after reading the book it made me think even more seriously about someday walking through a real Millennium Falcon that I build for real function, or one like the good people at Full Scale Falcon.com are building to inspire a whole new generation  of young people to reach for the stars.  The Millennium Falcon has a special place in the hearts and minds of millions and as this evolution has occurred I am more proud than ever that I displayed those original construction pictures so prominently on my tool box, which are still there.  The only difference is that the big stand up unit I used for staying gainfully employed is now in my garage.  That tool box got me through some hard times as I worked excessively hard to make a living for my growing family, and never let my co-workers provoke me into removing my pictures of the Millennium Falcon from my tool box in favor of girls in bikinis.  I can honestly say that the Millennium Falcon is sexier than any lingerie model in any state of super normal sign stimuli pose.

I feel that my life has reflected the fictional history of the Millennium Falcon after reading the Luceno novel, which I never would have known prior.  But there is something destructive and positive at the same time in reaching for one’s individual freedom and sovereignty, and the Millennium Falcon represents that quest.  And I’m not alone in my sentiments.  Good people like Chris Lee at Full Scale Falcon.com feel it as strongly as I do, and are taking actions to make the Millennium Falcon a reality that young people can touch, smell, and walk through—and from those young minds are the next great inventions that will bestow upon the human race a wave of miracles that will usher in a new day in the long story of all of us.  Everything starts with a thought, and a symbol can hold those thoughts into focus as the turbulence of life tries to wash away our dreams.  Holding onto our symbols can keep those dreams anchored to the foundations of our souls.

That is why I LOVE the Millennium Falcon!

Tom Cruise in the film ‘Jack Reacher’: The Future of ‘Tail of the Dragon?’

The number one comment that readers of my new novel Tail of the Dragon ask me is when will it be a movie, because the car chase in the book—which takes place over half of the story is so stunningly exciting that they want to see it up on the silver screen. I have been telling them that it’s not likely to be soon, because Hollywood isn’t making many car chase films these days, not like they did in the 1970s, which was my inspiration behind the book. On top of that–I am a conservative writer, and while Hollywood does endorse far left political activists like George Clooney and Sean Penn, it does not have a tolerance for people as fiscally and socially conservative as I am. So the list of producers and actors out there that would be able to take Tail of the Dragon from a novel and put it up on a movie screen in the manner that it is written is pretty short.

The other big problem is that the main character of Rick Stevens is so iconic, and strong that Hollywood isn’t producing actors that are able to reach the kind of emotional firmness that can capture the hero of Tail of the Dragon with the proper valor required. In these more politically left leaning times, characters like Rick Stevens are way too sure of themselves, and that is currently out of fashion in American film—where it used to be common place in Hollywood. Tail of the Dragon is in essence dedicated to all the great car chases of my youth set into overdrive. To accurately portray the high-speed chases that Rick Stevens embarks on in Tail of the Dragon it would require an actor like Steve McQueen, or a Burt Reynolds type who is actually a tough guy in real life–a thrill seeker, and would need to be a professional driver in some regard. Because the stunts that would be required to put Tail of the Dragon up on the silver screen would be unlike anything ever filmed before in any motion picture—so I don’t have much hope of finding the right combination of studio involvement, actor skill level, and financial commitment. CLICK HERE FOR SOME OF MY PREVIOUS WORK IN HOLLYWOOD. That is until I saw the clip below on Top Gear discussing the new Tom Cruise film Jack Reacher—which looks very promising.

It would take an actor/producer like Tom Cruise to bring the larger than life character of Rick Stevens to film, and it appears Cruise is back in that kind of character generating business, as his Jack Reacher looks like the kind of old-fashion throwback to the decades prior to 1990 filmmaking. That shouldn’t surprise me as Cruise is from Cincinnati just as Steven Spielberg is along with George Clooney and it takes someone from the Midwest to understand a story that takes place in the heart of the country. Tail of the Dragon is truly a modern version of Smokey and the Bandit and the great Tom Cruise classic Days of Thunder, so Tom Cruise would be a good fit—if the stars lined up properly.

I knew when I wrote the novel that it was a bit out of fashion in the present day as it makes no attempt to be contemporary except for the fact that the 700 HP 1977 Firebird in the story runs off a special vegetable oil fuel mixture which is very much in line with modern technical achievement, but the rest of the story is good ol ‘fashioned storytelling that is unapologetic in its larger-than-life presentation. I figured that sometime over the next 20 years such personal valor as exhibited from Rick Stevens in Tail of the Dragon would come back into style, and at that time there might be a chance for such a grand story to find its way to the silver screen.

I am delighted to see that Tom Cruise is back at it with Jack Reacher because honestly, I have missed these types of films terribly. The Fast and Furious films are good, but there is human nobility that is missing from those characters that is all too common in so many modern stories. Tom Cruise made his living for many years playing larger than life characters in films like Top Gun, Days of Thunder, and Mission Impossible, so there are still actors/producers in Hollywood who are capable of getting behind the wheel of a car like the one in Tail of the Dragon and telling the story of Rick Stevens and his bold, high-speed adventure through the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina.

In the meantime, I think I’m going to go see Jack Reacher and relish in Tom Cruise’s latest movie. There is a part of me that is rooting for Cruise to make a comeback to the silver screen, because honestly, I think Hollywood needs him.

Public Education is more Dangerous than Guns: Why the Sandy Hook Shooting makes people anguish

I was a bit baffled by the panic that the collective nation felt in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut.  I understand the sadness, but to hear news personalities and politicians so distraught—to see the nation turning on their televisions after work and mashing their faces against the screens wanting to learn more information goes several steps beyond simple grief.  There was a fear invoked by the events of December 14th, 2012 where a 20-year-old shooter walked into a school and gunned down over twenty people, mostly kids, before taking his own life, that exceeds rationality and the reason is not what anyone is willing to discuss.

My thoughts about public education have evolved over the last couple of years from something that I previously tolerated as a local nuisance to a national menace of the American psyche.   I have learned through my school levy fights that most parents don’t care one iota what their kids are learning in school, or what damage to their social futures that government schools might do to their children over 13 years of elementary school and high school education.  Parents simply view public education as a babysitting service while they conduct their busy lives climbing a career ladder hoping that instead of love for their children they can purchase respect with the incomes they’ve earned from their occupations.  Some parents do get involved in their children’s education, particularly in sports.  However, many of these parents deep down inside hope their children’s participation in extracurricular activities will save money through scholarship earnings when it comes time to pay for college tuition leaving some of the savings that parents toiled over for years free for a nice vacation.  The sports participation is not one of love for the child as much as it is hope that their child will land a cherished scholarship.  It is rare to see parents in modern America taking an active role in their children’s education because they figure that is the job of the school—and in the back of their minds, the parents reserve the right to blame the school and the teachers for their failures as parents when things go wrong later.  That is the essence of modern public education in government schools.  The labor unions are happy to exploit this trend to their advantage, and they have.  Politicians are happy to exploit the guilt parents feel over their lack of involvement to enrich themselves as social looters.  But the real victims have always been the kids who just want parents to love them, teach them, and launch them into a life of their own with some measure of confidence—which they often find completely void.

So I did not feel stunned as others might have when hearing about the Sandy Hook shooting.  In fact, due to the social conditions involved on all sides, I am surprised that it doesn’t happen more often.  The failure is truly in social collectivism, where parents, kids, and politicians have embedded themselves into each other’s lives like mashed potatoes on a Thanksgiving Day dinner to be consumed by modern society and defecated out as waste products of a life dedicated to serving the collective whole.   When it comes to gun violence and the most vulnerable places that they are occurring with the most emotional impact, it is in school settings that they are most rampant.  This latest rampage, coming less than two weeks before Christmas, was the nation’s second-deadliest school shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre that claimed 33 lives in 2007.  Before that it was the Columbine shooting that was so glorified by the communist leaning Michael Moore film Bowling for Columbine.

The logical conclusion that one could make if they thought clearly on the matter is that if parents wanted their children to be truly safe, and to get a proper education that they would home-school their children instead of sending them to a public school full of unarmed progressive advocates where the children are vulnerable to the collective whims of society.  It is in such whims that distorted minds like Adam Lanza can make victims of unarmed children and naive human beings who prefer the peace sign over the barrel of a gun with a continued belief that evil can be legislated out of Earth’s social fabric.   People who think in such ways are the real danger to children because they are functioning from a false philosophy that is not driven by logic, but by their own internal selfishness.  They do not wish to take the time to raise their  own children properly so they send them to public school hoping the government can do it for them—but in so doing, their children are vulnerable to progressive politics, global power grabs, collective identity, and the barbarous malcontents of mental erosion.

My wife and I never left our kids to the fate of public education.  My wife was always a stay-at-home mom who drove my kids to school every day and helped them with their homework every night.  She also home-schooled them when the school wanted to teach my kids things we didn’t think they should be learning in the fourth grade—such as sex education.  Most of what my kids learned they learned with the input of my wife and me spending time with them and taking an active role in their lives which still exists to this day.  Many of my kid’s friends they went to school with who had parents who did not take an active role in their child’s lives, are rudderless despots drowning in the oceans of daily living, and that fate was sealed by their parents who used public education to do the job of parenting.   We have watched the decline first hand over the last decade and the differences are incredibly obvious.

It is dangerous to place children in large groups unarmed in a school room that only has one door in or out and is guarded by pacifist progressive leaning teachers radicalized by national teachers unions.  The policies of progressivism are failing in modern life, and there will be more incidents like the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre.  There will be more because all the sorrow in the world can’t remove evil from the planet.  Evil cannot be controlled by more rules and regulation.  It cannot be quelled by guidance councilors or even more tax money.    Success in every American child requires a parent or mentor who will take direct responsibility for a child with real love and understanding that is rooted in individual responsibility.  The collectivism that is taught in modern society will produce many more troubled youth like Adam Lanza and leave millions of children perpetually vulnerable in classrooms all over the country because parents use public education as an extension of day care leaving complacent employees to safe guard the lives of Americas children—which is a recipe for disaster.

If parents really wanted their kids to be safe, they would withdrawal them from public school, teach them at home on a computer with online education within the safety and sanctity of private property guarded by American sovereignty, and one of the spouses would quit their full-time job and become a full-time parent because that’s what it takes.  The fear that society felt on the day of the dreadful Sandy Hook Massacre was not because of the victims—it was the realization that a system that most everyone has accepted as “good” is actually a very vulnerable environment that is well out of the control of the parents.   That vulnerability has been glazed over while busy parents pursue their individual careers, but the knowledge that a crazed lunatic can walk into any public school known to be full of unarmed—naive human beings is a lucrative target for the mentally anguished like Adam Lanza.  The fear that people felt upon hearing the news is that what they believed to be safe is quite the opposite, and if they want to keep their kids out of the grips of deaths embrace, or the many social pressures that lead to small losses of innocence, that the parents will have to take more active roles in their family’s lives.  And if I were them, I would take my children out of public school and do the job myself—so that I could ensure safety and success.  The grief that people are feeling is not for the unfortunate victims and their families, it is the realization that the responsibility for children cannot be pawned off on a group collective, but are the sole enterprises of a parent and their children, and is best protected with a personal firearm, a solid peace-loving religion, and a thirst for learning that is as free of social degradation as possible.

The Connecticut Shooting and Alex Jones: Gun grabbers call for the murder of NRA’s president

When it comes to progressives and gun grabbing lunatics, nothing surprises me regarding what extremes change agents of personal liberty will embark upon to instigate their visions for human kind.  It would appear that 20-year-old Adam Lanza had a disagreement with his mother who was a teacher causing him to shoot her in the face killing her, then proceeded to her classroom to kill his mother’s students.  It would be an obvious assumption that Lanza was jealous of the students his mother taught, and was so enraged by them that he wanted to remove them from life.  The result of this act of violence is 28 people dead, twenty who were little children.

But the swiftness that Obama, Eric Holder and the other progressive advocates jumped to the gun grabbing argument is oddly suspicious.  Within hours emotionally charged, panic driven neurotics called out for the murder of the NRA President looking for a way to channel their helpless anger.  CLICK BELOW to read more:

http://www.infowars.com/gun-grabbers-call-for-murder-of-nra-president-supporters-in-wake-of-mass-shooting/

But………………I have learned not to take these stories at face value.  There is more to this story, and gun legislation is always behind it.  The timing of this latest tragic occurrence, on the back of other incidents that have not moved the hearts and minds of most Americans is deeply troubling.  Alex Jones has a background in conspiracy theory, but his thoughts deserve recognition in the wake of this tragedy.  The villains are still lingering in the shadows of our society.  If they are not directly involved, as Alex suggests, they are guilty in that they have destroyed the American family through their policies, and weakened the back of America by robbing citizens of their inner valor.  Remember the motto of the progressive, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”  And sometimes, the crises must be created through any method possible.

I do believe that progressives are so evil that they are not beneath such treachery or sinister mechanisms.  CLICK HERE to review the recent Aurora shooting and the possible “false flag” that happened there.  Believe dear reader that Adam Lanza may have easily been “nudged” into the evil he conducted.  To understand how, read Cass Sunstein’s book “Nudge.”
