I was at the Liberty Township Tea Party meeting when Katy Kern read the IRS harassment letter calling out Justin Binik Thomas as an individual. Justin is from Deer Park nearly a half an hour to the south of Liberty Township, Ohio and had no connection at all to the Tea Party group in my community. So the implication of why Justin, who was a founding member of the Cincinnati Tea Party, was obvious. The IRS was letting Liberty Township know that the leaders of the Tea Party effort were going to be targeted, and unless they wanted the wrath of the IRS coming down on them—they’d keep their head down. Well, it didn’t work. The Liberty Township group hunkered down and Justin went on the offensive letting every media outlet in the country know about the harassment he received. He’s been on virtually every news program in the country as a result and made a point to fly to Washington D.C. to attend the Ways and Means hearings. Upon arrival back into Cincinnati he gave two interviews, one to Channel 9 which is shown after the below video, and a radio interview with Matt Clark of WAAM in Ann Arbor, Michigan which can be seen and heard here:
The Channel 9 Interview is now listed below with the link to the original story here:
Justin Binik-Thomas wanted to know why a question about him was among 35 the Liberty Township Tea Party was instructed by the Internal Revenue Service to answer as part of the organization’s application for tax-exempt status last year.
Binik-Thomas, of Deer Park, believes he became the only individual to be singled out in any of the hundreds of questions asked by Cincinnati IRS employees who gave extra scrutiny to applications for tax-exempt status filed by conservative groups.
The 31-year-old was so concerned that he flew to Washington, D.C., to be present during the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee’s hearing Friday.
While Binik-Thomas didn’t expect the hearings to give him answers, he told 9 On Your Side prior to his trip to Capitol Hill that he thought it was important to be there to show the face of someone who has been directly affected by the scandal.
9 On Your Side interviewed Binik-Thomas to get his opinion about what he learned during the hearing.
His responses can be viewed below:
Q. What did you learn from the hearings?
A. I left confident that Congress has taken the [inspector general’s] findings, IRS admission, and constituent concerns seriously. Special thanks to my representative, Congressman (Brad) Wenstrup, for working with Ways and Means colleagues on this issue. Congressman (Pat) Tibiri and Congressman (Erik) Paulsen included my story in their questioning.
Q. Are you satisfied with the answers you got from the experience?
A. There was little new information learned at the hearing proper, but there will be followup, written testimony and committee research over the coming weeks. I hope to learn more in this phase.
Q. What do you plan to do next?
A. I will continue to work with congress and this committee to support as needed and appropriate.
Q. What would you like to hear from IRS/administration officials?
A. I would like to know why I was included in the letter to Liberty Township Tea Party, what the information received will be used for, and where the information was shared. [I’d] also like assurances that it will not be used against me or my small business in the future. The same assurances should be offered to targeted groups.
Q. What have you received in the way of support from the local community?
A. My family and community have been supportive. It is chilling to be called out by the government.
Q. What would you like the public to know about what happened?
A. The IRS has identified an individual in a letter to an unrelated group. Risks include future audits to personal or business finances. It can happen to anyone unless there are systemic changes at the agency – true checks and balances – to assure this does not reoccur.
What Justin said about being targeted in a letter to an unrelated group is the crux of the whole problem. The IRS used Justin’s name as a way to intimidate the Liberty Township Tea Party, and in doing so, abused their power. This is the reason that no one organization should ever have so much power that can behave like a dictatorship in such a fashion. No matter who was at fault at the IRS, the deed was done and Justin has had to embark on at least two years of fearful harassment as a result. The IRS owes Justin more than an apology.
I admire Justin’s professionalism in his responses. He has a right to state his outrage in a much more colorful manner than he has, but he’s a nice guy who is immensely responsible. As a founding member of the Cincinnati Tea Party he has shown a willingness to allow the legal process to work the way it should by working closely with his congressman to see justice done to the IRS. For Justin’s sake, I hope he gets it. But I have my doubts. The IRS is a terribly corrupt organization that stands against virtually everything America was founded upon, so unless major reforms are put in place the status quo will remain and people like Justin will be attacked again.
This isn’t the first time I’ve said such things about Obama. I suggested impeaching the President after the controversial appointment of cabinet members during 2012. CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW. So this isn’t anything new for me. But if my congressman John Boehner had acted when I suggested it then the lost lives in Benghazi might have been saved, the economy would be recovering, and the IRS scandal which was happening to members of his district due to their involvement in Tea Party groups would not have occurred. Also members of the media would not have been subjected to harassment by the Obama Justice Department under Eric Holder and countless other tyrannies that could have been averted.
Instead, Boehner calculated that my urging to impeach Obama was radical, and represented a far right-wing view-point that he dismissed. After all, his concerns were to play golf with Obama and work toward “peaceful solutions” through diplomacy. Boehner also enjoys appeasing the local socialites who know little about politics, or business finance, yet inject themselves into every discussion where money flows attempting to bring altruistic judgment through joined wine glasses and catered meals. Such socialites support Obama’s brand of socialism, especially in public education institutions even though they claim to be conservative Republicans joined at the hip to Governor Kasich. Boehner and Kasich listen to the socialist whims of such people so that the purse strings stay open for future campaigns. After all, those socialites are “rich” and their opinions carry much weight even though the quality of their minds are detriments to society, and for politicians seeking re-election the former is more important than the later. It is because of such social pressures, and lack of determination that people like Ariel Castro can operate in the open, and why con artists like Barack Obama can get away with audacious lies behind a socialist agenda to fulfill goals that exist outside of fathomable reality. The blood is on the hands of those who didn’t act in the beginning hoping that elections would solve the problem peacefully, and far less grotesquely.
But elections didn’t solve the problem, and the “socialites” planned desire to maintain community integrity with wine glasses and fund-raising dinners allowed evil to grow, not abate, and now all those involved with the great indecision are guilty of not just assisting in treachery against The United States, but in assisting evil through inaction. The crimes committed by the Obama administration all during 2012 and thus far in 2013 are on the hands of those who failed to recognize evil hidden behind a smiling face and great charisma that only a demon from the temples of hell could generate.
It is a fair characterization to level such claims at Barack Obama because it was his administration that allowed for a terrible evil to be committed with full knowledge that it was a lie. Obama and his White House staff blamed the Benghazi deaths on Mark Basseley Youssef, AKA Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, AKA Sam Bacile the director of the terrible film “Innocence of Muslims” which about 10 people saw in a southern California movie theater. Other than that one public showing only a 15 minute video clip existed on YouTube at the time of the Benghazi attack. Bacile wrote the film in prison and shot it within two months of being release with no money, no real actors, and obviously an angry rant that was shaped during his stint in prison. Nobody saw it, and nobody cared—but the film was a symbol of free speech, which President Obama is supposed to protect. Instead, Obama allowed Bacile to take the fall for an alleged gun running operation in Libya and the apparently intentional death of those involved to cover the tracks. The Obama administration immediately hoped to hide their guilt behind the free speech efforts of a nothing film shown to a vacant audience counting on the American people to believe that the violence had been ignited by a 15-minute YouTube clip. See the rest of the story at the below link.
Obama knowingly lied to the American people and with the same type of public sincerity shown by the embodiment of evil in Ariel Castro who pretended sincere emotions during a presidential election that covered the gross abuse of his employees intentionally disgracing The White House. They did what they have done on purpose, and they trusted that the press and American people would not advance the issue beyond their deceitful manipulations. The worst of all these recent revelations are that the Obama administration designated a sacrificial victim in Sam Bacile who was only guilty of being a bad filmmaker, and tossed him into jail to cover the crimes of murder that was either intentionally committed by the Obama administration, or was caused by sheer incompetence. Either way, Americans died in Benghazi due to poor leadership by the Obama administration. Then the Obama White House tried to blame the violence on a silly YouTube video hoping that the scandal would not be pressed by the public any further. They insulted the deceased with their hope to get away with the crime.
The reasons for the impeachment of Barack Obama extend well into a long list of Constitutional violations and are voluminous beyond comprehension. But the worst is the intention of the administration to pick a sacrificial victim in Bacile and throw him upon an alter stepping all over his rights as an individual to preserve the collective aims of the Obama White House. If The White House will do such a thing with one man, they will do it with any collection of people, any business, or any philosophic idea, and that makes Obama and his employees dangerous to the American experience, and detriments to all free people who want a fair chance at life success and social opportunity. That is why Obama should be removed from office so to set the parameters for all future presidents of what is acceptable and what is not. A failure to act on Obama and his crimes will establish for the entire future an understanding that it is alright for Presidents to behave in such a destructive fashion against the American people. More destruction will follow of the American way of life if Obama is not impeached, and this is a reality that cannot be hidden from. It will take courage, courage from the press, courage from the politicians that must embark on the tragic journey, and courage from the American people to look evil in the eye and act against it, instead of being seduced. It must happen because America does not want to look at itself decades from now and wonder what happened in the same way that we are asking how Ariel Castro was able to chain three stolen girls in his basement in plain site of many people who failed to act in a way to save the victims. To me, Ariel Castro and Barack Obama are one in the same. Their only real difference is that Castro tortured and molested three innocent girls over a long period of time. Obama is doing the same figuratively with the entire world, and he needs to be stopped boldly and with great conviction. One is literal, one is metaphorical, but they are both the sheer face of evil in all its destructive qualities, and bottomless malevolence.
When you hear your local school state that they need more money for a tax levy, remember what you heard Melissa Harris-Perry say. When your local school states that children need a better eduction remember that most of those educators are not thinking of mathematics, literature, or history, but of indoctrination into a progressive ideological utopia that is as nutty as the Jim Jones massacre. Public education professionals do not think like you, they are not like you, and they do not want your children to learn from you. They see your children as “their” children. They see your house as their house. They see your life as their life. This is what kind of mentality has infested public education. They are collectivists and are intent to destroy everything of value in the traditional sense of America…………especially the parent/child relationship. The proof is in their own words.
Republicans are terrified of the Tea Party position because they don’t want to lose having a Republican as governor. For them, they win if they retain their elected seats. Ideologically, almost all politicians think the same way. They are universally devoid of principles and only want to do what they have to in order to keep their offices. They will lie, cheat and steal to retain their seats, so Republicans pull together as a collective to defeat Democrats so that in mass they can keep their elected offices. At the end of the day Kasich is absolutely no different from Barack Obama because both will do whatever they have to in order to win re-election. They function from a lack of personal conviction. In Kasich’s case, he is the leader of the Republican Party in Ohio by default, so as a collective unit, other Republican Senators and Representatives get in line behind Kasich’s strategy, and for the most part everyone sticks to the same story. For the Tea Party, who simply wants fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets, if the Republicans aren’t giving them those things, then the politicians have failed to do what they were elected to do.
Many of those politicians will call people like Matt and Chris “extremists” and radical “right-wingers.” They will do everything they can to discredit the efforts of any Tea Party patriots so that the greatest threat to their parasitic existences can be eliminated. Matt Mayer is President of Provisum Strategies where he provides strategic and tactical political policy advice to public and private-sector clients. Mayer also serves as a Visiting Fellow with The Heritage Foundation, America’s top think tank, where he writes and speaks on national security issues. He is also a Research Fellow at the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs. Mayer’s first book, Homeland Security and Federalism: Protecting America from Outside the Beltway argued for reversing the federalization of homeland security by returning power to the states and localities. I could go on and on about Matt Mayer, in fact his “about the author” section of his book goes on for two pages of experience at both the federal and state level positions. He is the recipient of the ABA-BNA Excellence in Labor & Employment Law Award and has given testimony to the U.S. Congress, Texas House and Senate, the Ohio House and Senate, appeared on Fox News, C-Span and on and on. When it comes to politics, Matt is a genius and his friend Chris Littleton seen in the next video is equal in many ways. The information that Chris will provide below is stunning, and one of the best kept secrets in politics.
For most political insiders and industry brick builders, their first thoughts about people like Matt or Chris is that if they are so brilliant—such extraordinary minds–then why aren’t they running the Republican Party instead of Karl Rove. Why are they wasting their time giving free speeches and traveling all over the state and country without any prospect of “profit?” As Matt finished his speech above and Chris began I watched Mayer leave. After giving me a wave goodbye he stepped out into the cold March evening and started up an average looking weathered car to drive off to his next speech. At the end of the day he’d drive back to his home in Dublin, Ohio putting hundreds of additional miles on his car promoting a book that he is donating 100% of the proceeds to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library. Chris could tell almost the same type of story. I have spent many evenings speaking with Chris and can attest to his sincerity. Chris or Matt could make millions of dollars exploiting the system the way Kasich is doing currently along with hundreds of other state Reps, Senators, and their ornamental lapdogs—but they don’t. Both men know so much about politics that they could be rich beyond measure if they chose to, but instead they speak at events like the West Chester Tea Party and write books for free, because they simply want to educate society. They do what they do because they are good people who care with all their heart and souls about the world around them.
Kasich in the quiet of his office when all the other politicians have left his ear would probably wish he could be either Matt Mayer or Chris Littleton. It takes a strong man to have the knowledge to crush enemies and exploit their toil for all the gold one can carry away in their pockets, yet avoid doing so. Most politicians exploit every opportunity to their advantage. But to walk away from the temptations of exploitive wealth and do what’s right is reserved for only the best men. The reason people like Matt and Chris are so outraged at Governor Kasich isn’t because they think ill will of him. They are outraged because they have not sold their souls to political life and still have their ideas intact. They have not compromised their beliefs in favor of a political career as Kasich has, so they earned the ability to be critical of those who have. The Tea Party they speak to, and through with books like Taxpayers Don’t Stand A Chance also have the right to be critical of John Kasich and his Republican stooges. Republicans along with Democrats have lied, stolen, and manipulated to keep their offices, so it goes without saying that the punishment for them should be to lose those offices even if it costs Ohio the loss of Republican seats. Those Republican seats are worthless if the politicians who sit in them behave like progressives, or standard Democrats. It is not the obligation of Ohioans to turn their gazes the other way while John Kasich earns his chance to run for President of The United States by delivering to Ohio an entitlement expansion of Medicaid that will crush the state economically 10 years into the future. The responsible thing to do is to identify the behavior as a failure even if it is painful, because the right thing to do is often not easy, or free of pain.
For years now I have wondered if Glenn Beck was getting his show topics based on my articles here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom. What he speaks about and what I write about seemed to parallel closely over a long period of time. I know I don’t have time to watch and listen to Glenn Beck in much detail. My exposure to Beck is usually what people send to me in the form of clips through email. On Beck’s end, given his success over the last 5 years, I’m sure he has the same problem that I do only 100 times worse, so I doubt he has time to read my articles—unless somebody he trusts sends them to him. But it is beyond coincidence that he has arrived at just about the same place that I have in regard to public education at virtually the same time. The only rational explanation is that people like Glenn Beck, Judge Napolitano, John Stossel and of course myself have arrived at the same independent conclusions based on our observations of public education because logic has delivered us to truth’s door. The conclusion of those observations that is difficult for many to hear is that if you love your child, you should take them far away from public education. If you love your country, you should take your children out of public education. If you love humanity, you should take your children out of public education. In short, public education is a terribly corrosive social element that is destroying everything we are as human beings toward an aim that is beyond human comprehension. Watch Glenn Beck state the same things I have been saying for quite a long time now:
When I first worked with No Lakota Levy to reform the cost impact of our local government school I didn’t feel so strongly until I learned how mindless the collectivism in public education truly was. But a few years into the levy fighting efforts and three elections later which were ignored by the administrators, I began to realize that Glenn Beck’s statements above were true, and a sad realization. It was actually hard for me to accept and I have never been a fan of public education or collective endeavors of any kind. Even in my own school days when many of the coaches wanted me to be on their track and football teams I was always hesitant because of the collective nature of the “team” concept. Even as a young man I never yielded my individuality to a collective endeavor—so with that position in mind it was hard for me to realize that public education needed to be scrapped in America in favor of a system that is independently competitive, and innovative. Anything attached to government control needs to be rejected and since The Department of Education was created at the federal level in 1979, public education has quickly degraded into a propaganda arm of progressive causes. But why is this so?
The best explanation for the degradation tendency of public education and collectivism in general cannot be found in the rally cry toward socialism or communism that comes from the political leanings of progressives—it’s a far deeper philosophical problem than those types of ideologies. To date, the best explanation behind the type of evil that is in the wake of public education was best defined in the fantasy film The Never Ending Story which came out in the 1980s just a few years after the creation of the DOE. The Never Ending Story is a fantasy about a young hero who must slay a fathomless enemy called The Nothing and the pursuit of the hero’s journey for the main character is to learn that it is imagination that destroys The Nothing. The way to destroy the evil that is destroying the world is to recharge the world with imagination—(thought).
When I was in the fourth grade my class went on a field trip to see the Cincinnati Pops at Music Hall play a symphonic rendition of John Williams’s music for Star Wars. Hanging behind the orchestra was a giant projection screen which displayed slides of the movie characters during the performance and the entire building rumbled with cheers as each slide arrived in procession celebrating the movie that had taken America by storm in 1977. Star Wars to all my young classmates from schools all over Cincinnati were being enchanted with the values of the music and the film behind the characters that contained limitless imagination and boundless energy. I thought the experience was a wonderful one. But later, when we returned back to the school on a silent school bus and were back in the seats of our classroom our teacher unleashed a fury of anger at how inconsiderate we were for cheering on the heroes of Star Wars and ignoring the efforts of the members of the symphony. Even as a young fellow in the fourth grade I shook my head at the obvious ignorance of the teacher. I knew that the teacher represented The Nothing well before The Never Ending Story so accurately placed a name on the type of evil she was spewing. Her values taught to her as an educator pursing the field of instruction through years of college thought the symphony was more valuable than the characters the music reflected—her values came from The Nothing. She valued the collective symphony as the source of goodness behind Star Wars instead of the individual characters who were the real heroes of the afternoon. The music only supported the plight of the heroes. She misidentified the value system of the entire event.
Years later when I first saw The Never Ending Story I had an awwh haaa moment while watching it, and it hit me most when I was first married and had a young child of my own sitting on my lap looking for family friendly programming to show my daughter. When the wolf explained what The Nothing was, I immediately thought of the political world in the wake of the Reagan Presidency, my personal experiences with public education, the relationship between public sector jobs and private sector and all the drama of local politics. The situation in America was not quite as bad as it is now so the impact of The Nothing was not yet in place so obviously. I could see The Nothing even then as clearly as can be expected for something that doesn’t exists–because even a blank space is “something.” The Nothing can only be seen for what it destroys, not for any mass it holds. It can only be measured by what is missing from one moment to the next.
Now, in 2013 many years after the release of The Never Ending Story following 4 years of George Bush senior, 8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Bush Jr., and now 5 years of Barack Obama as Presidents of The United States, it is easy to see that The Nothing is moving easily through the world and it uses people like the wolf did in The Never Ending Story to carry the message of The Nothing. The Nothing seeks to destroy thinking. It is what Ayn Rand calls “evasion” in the philosophy of Objectivism. In mythologies like Star Wars it is called The Dark Side of the Force. But in The Never Ending Story, it is most accurately described as “The Nothing.”
The products of The Nothing are all forms of collectivism which seek to strip away individual thought and action on behalf of a greater good. The greater good is never on behalf of individual freedom, it is always in service of The Nothing—the evil behind the evil that some cultures call The Devil, Sith Lords, demons, or any face of sinister display. The attempt to articulate such collectivism with a face only names the crime—but does not define the origin of the crime, or the tendency to succumb to it. In public education young people are stripped away of their minds and are vehicles for The Nothing which has slowly destroyed the entire world right in front of our faces. No one person controls The Nothing. But individual people dance to its strings just as the wolf did in The Never Ending Story. In that context it could be said that The Nothing is behind government seeking to increase taxes forcing parents to have two incomes to accomplish what one used to—to strip mothers away from their children leaving kids open and vulnerable to The Nothing of public education. It is The Nothing that moves the mouth of Barack Obama seeking to place every child in America during age four into pre-school so that a mind numb teacher can begin to teach young people to turn off their thoughts, and imaginations in dedication to The Nothing. The Nothing is often difficult to see. But in public education, it is evident for those with eyes that are open and willing to take notice. Public schools—government schools–are dedicated to The Nothing like a religion. To see The Nothing speak to people and learn what is NOT there. That is how you know The Nothing is at work.
It is The Nothing that Pink Floyd sang about in their Wall album. Many pot smoking patrons declared that the movie The Wall could only be understood when they were “high,” (mentally impaired, intoxicated—or otherwise inebriated) which has been the running dialogue among young people for the last 30 years. But for me, as a young man of 16, 17, and 18 years old who didn’t do drugs of any kind, I understood The Wall on my first viewing, and knew the protagonist was fighting against The Nothing ultimately. Pot smokers could only begin to wrap their minds around freedom from The Nothing when they were “stoned” and had turned off the rules of society. This is why people do drugs and get drunk, so they can have momentary release from the grip of The Nothing. But when the intoxication wears off, The Nothing has them again, and the poor souls become mindless dogs lobbying for more school levies, advocating more socialism under President Obama, and seeking to expand government so that it destroys each and every individual on planet Earth.
I know that many reading this will wonder how I can connect all these dots, and may even question whether or not I am even sane—because relative to their social position, these are outlandish claims. For many people fantasies like The Never Ending Story or Star Wars are just entertainment and the lessons of mythology contained within those stories are dead to them. Those are the kinds of people who are the wolves in our society who help The Nothing destroy the world without knowing it. Like the teacher from the fourth grade who represented The Nothing yelling at our class her embarrassment of students clapping and cheering the images on a slide show instead of the live collective symphony of the Cincinnati Pops, The Nothing destroys by ripping away the source of goodness through deferment. The teacher played her role in destroying the imagination of her students year by year until the kids were less mentally than what they were when they first entered kindergarten. Teachers like that fourth grade instructor plant the seeds of The Nothing so that the adult of 50 years of age has less of a mind than the 3-year-old, because The Nothing lives in their minds and eats their thoughts. It doesn’t mean the 50-year-old does not have statistical knowledge. But the ability to think independently has been destroyed in such individuals—and that is the result of The Nothing.
When Glenn Beck says to take children out of public schools he is saying the same thing that I have been saying and for the same reasons. However, it is not just collectivism that is the ultimate threat, but it is The Nothing that is behind the collectivism that we must fight against. The way to beat The Nothing is with thought and independent values produced by a mind free of collectivism. That was the lesson of The Never Ending Story which never does end. We are living the story today as we have in the past and will in the future. It never goes away; The Nothing will always seek to destroy mankind with the obscure allure of collectivism. It takes an imagination to see the truth and understand the shape of The Nothing. It also takes an imagination to apply thought and mythology to the legal world of the functioning adult which is what I spend a lot of time doing here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom. Just because it is difficult for many to grapple with, does not mean the evil does not exist. To stop that evil, every parent who claims to truly love their child should pull their children from public schools as soon as possible and find an alternative. If parents do not do this, they will subject their children to a doomed life in service of The Nothing, which already holds the hearts and minds of 99.999999999999999999999% of the adult population. Only a few—like Glenn Beck has managed to escape and report what is obvious to those not consumed by The Nothing—that public education is the vehicle that is used to destroy our children—and the problem is far bigger than most people are willing to accept. But The Nothing still is there hunting us all for its collective consumption in a quest that will last all eternity if left unchecked.
It is because of what I have learned about public education that my feelings have evolved over time to seek answers for these modern problems in the myths that have built our society. The logic of political life does not contain the answers—yet the childhood stories of our past contains the wisdom needed to understand the obscure problem of our present—why our children are growing ignorant over time instead of more intelligent and why our adults walk around like mindless zombies full of arrogance due to their years of exposure to The Nothing. At golf courses they add up their scores over a day time beverage and whisk their children to and fro soccer practice thinking they are parents of the year—only to discover too late that they have delivered their children to the gates of doom. The trivia of the adult, and school levy supporter who blindly believes that public education is the savior of society, are simply agents of The Nothing who reside behind all forms of collectivism and is instructed to our world population through public education universally committed to the kind of evil that only occupied the minds of childhood nightmares when the purity of youth could still tell the difference.

That is how bad the system is. If you have a child in public school, they are being trained by those methods. Every child in a school district is being exposed to these things, and it is our tax money from property values that pay for it.
On the day after the sequestration implemented from the federal government on March 2nd Darryl Parks from 700 WLW covered the events that transpired in the aftermath as government officials calculated that society might come to an end because of the cuts. Well, in his usual fashion Darryl brought some non-partisan, non emotional, non group affiliated analysis regarding the sequestration cuts to the light of reality. As many might be afraid of the rhetoric coming out of Washington Darryl put into the context the extent of the cuts in a fashion that everyone can understand. The ridiculous amounts that Darryl laid out in his broadcast, and that I break down below in written form are so small that they aren’t even worth discussing. Yet all the news broadcasts on television cried like infants for over three weeks along with virtually every politician, especially Barack Obama about the costs of these cuts to the social fabric of American society. So without further fanfare have a listen to Darryl’s broadcast as it was given on March 2nd at 9 AM in the morning.
Most people start to blank out when such large numbers are expressed so they cannot get their mind around such concepts. Looting politicians like Barack Obama know this, and have successfully hidden the extremity of these federal numbers behind relatable faces, like children, National Park employees, government janitorial staff and so on—so that tax payers will be inclined to vote in favor of more tax increases to help out their fellow Americans. The federal government essentially uses the same tactics that we have been fighting locally in the school levy debates—they clearly manipulate the numbers in hopes that nobody can wrap their mind around the truth. However, Darryl Parks did better than President Obama in showing the hypocrisy of the federal diatribes by putting into a context that everyone can understand the amount of the sequestration cuts that prove just how small they really are—and how much politicians in Washington and the doomsday press blew out of proportion the extent of the damage—which proves that none of them can be trusted.
Darryl did the hard math and discovered that it was much easier to understand the 44 billion in cuts coming from the sequestration reductions that went into effect on March 1st by proportionally breaking it down against something that virtually everyone can relate to, a McDonalds Big Mac extra value meal. Darryl took the known value of 1320 calories that are contained within a Big Mac extra value meal consisting of a Big Mac sandwich, a medium Coke and a large order of French fries that normally contain 87 individual fries within the container they come in and for sake of argument gave that value of 1320 an equal value to the federal budget. Now we know that 44 billion in cuts is only 1/80th of the total federal budget, so if we apply the same reduction to the Big Mac value meal, we discover that we will only lose 2 ½ French fries from our feast
Most people eating such a meal would not notice a 2 ½ fry reduction, and in the society at large, particularly the 130 million Americans who pay nearly all the federal tax, they won’t notice any reductions at the federal level. The only people who will notice the reductions are those who have built their careers in the flimsy existence of government and find themselves jobless in the sequestration cuts. It will be discovered that many of those reduced jobs were not necessary to begin with just as many of the local schools who have had to reduce their staffs have found that they can still operate with fewer employees as they work to meet their budgets. The impacted parties are those who work for government at wages that are too high for jobs that were created by government for government reasons.
Nobody in their right mind can argue that losing 2 ½ fries per Big Mac value meal will ever be noticed and will drive down the quality of the meal itself. Just like the sequestration cuts don’t even come close to bringing our federal government into the light of reality when it comes to fiscal spending of those poor 130 million tax payers who are covering the whole bill. Yet everyone who covered the sequestration in a negative way is guilty of openly misleading the American people with radical rhetoric that belongs in the basement of old hippie flower children engulfed in pot smoke as they watch reruns of Sesame Street and think themselves sophisticated contributors of society. In reality, much, much, much more needs to be cut from our extra value meals if we wish as a nation to lose any weight and take measures to truly get our budget under control. Taking away 2 ½ French fries out of 87 won’t do the job—and is not even worth the discussion which has transpired.
I enjoyed the Academy Awards presentation of 2013 for most of the broadcast over 1 billion people viewed until Michelle Obama presented the award for Best Picture. Her presence reminded me of the cozy relationship Hollywood has with the American version of communism in the Democratic Party. Jack Nicolson who has become a Hollywood legend playing pot headed hippies, crazy people, and ghost ridden psychopaths obviously enjoyed the rub against the conservative right as he presented Michelle Obama’s bang engulfed face on a big screen television. However, up to that Best Picture category, I enjoyed the Oscars, because I love movies. I love all movies, liberal ones, conservative ones, and films that are about all forms of life. Personally I was rooting for Lincoln to do well, but I also admired the work of Ben Affleck in Argo, and I really think a lot of Ang Lee as a filmmaker—so I was very excited to see Life of Pie do so well. But there was nothing that grabbed my heart more than the live performance of Skyfall by Adele, which won an Oscar for Best Original Song.
Hollywood however is not about progressive causes and much of the best of what Hollywood has to offer was not present at the Academy Awards. Dark Knight Rises was openly snubbed most likely due to the fact that the plot line was critical to collective politics. The villain Bane was the essence of what many on the political right fear about Obama in present day reality. So it didn’t go unnoticed that there wasn’t a single award nomination for Warner Brothers billion dollar money-maker. There was a slight nod to The Avengers, and the entire evening was dedicated to 50 years of James Bond. It was during the moments of James Bond celebration that many of the Hollywood elite in the audience had glazy faces from the powerful musical performances of Adele from Skyfall and Shirley Bassey from Goldfinger. It was great to see Shirley again, her voice has rung in my ears for many years, and I wasn’t the only one taken by her performance. She sang with great power, but more than that, it was the thoughts of James Bond that her voice and that of Adele evoked which is what Hollywood was built on in the first place. James Bond, like many action heroes are theatrical manifestations of the Übermensch.
The Übermensch (German for “Overman, Overhuman, Above-Human, Superman, Super-human”; German pronunciation: [ˈˀyːbɐmɛnʃ]) is a concept in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche posited the Übermensch as a goal for humanity to set for itself in his 1883 book Thus Spoke Zarathustra (German: Also Sprach Zarathustra). Hollywood finds itself a kind of Doctor Jeckle and Mr. Hyde personality in that they publicly celebrate progressive causes like drug addiction, human weakness, casual sex, and openly intrusive government—which was the idea of presenting Mother Michelle Obama at the end of the broadcast. Hollywood however makes its money off of exceptionalism, and is the soul reason that directors like Ang Lee make movies for the big studios instead of in Europe, or Asia. Hollywood is the creation of exceptionalism and the stories are specific to American thought. The Academy urges more progressive films to be produced to fit their ideological pursuits, but Hollywood makes its money off films like Dark Knight Rises, any Bruce Willis film, and films that have Übermensch’s as the protagonist. Movie goers do not like weak kneed heroes, they want the Übermensch. James Bond is super-human, he is not a man who has all the normal emotional weaknesses, which has been an issue with this new Daniel Craig Bond—until Skyfall. Bond is a man of exception, he is the best of the best and that is why tears flowed at the end of Bassey’s performance of Goldfinger. “Little girl, beware of his web of sin,………………….but don’t go in.”
Considering that Return of the King won Best Picture just a few short years ago, it was shocking that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey didn’t have more nominations. But for those who know the labor backlash over The Hobbit being filmed in Wellington, New Zealand it should come as no surprise. Hollywood holds grudges. They hold them against George Lucas for his independence of the Hollywood system, they hold grudges against James Cameron for declaring that he “Was king of the world.” Hollywood holds grudges against Mel Gibson for making The Passion of the Christ. So Ben Affleck almost let out too much when he accepted his award, and quickly composed himself on discussing grudges in Hollywood. Big players in Hollywood know that they must play by the rule of progressivism if they want to continue working—even the biggest names. Notice that Clint Eastwood wasn’t there this year after coming out in favor of Mitt Romney in the last election and calling President Obama “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” Hollywood offers a seat at the table for those who fall in line, and takes the seat away at the Oscars for those who don’t follow the party line. True superstars like Eastwood, Bruce Willis—who just came out in favor of the Second Amendment, and Sylvester Stallone were not shown walking the red carpet this year, even though films from those actors will be watched on televisions many years into the future while films like Argo will be forgotten along with Black Hawk Down, and The Deer Hunter.
Hollywood shoots itself in the foot by aligning themselves with progressive politicians like Michelle and Barack Obama. But Hollywood, especially above the line, loves glittery lights, and Democrats are better at presenting glitter than Republicans. So Hollywood—at least the elite that are always present at the Oscars are in bed with Democratic politicians because they all love the pretty lights and glitter that those politicians offer. Republicans fail because they expect to be judged on substance, but Hollywood can’t even judge the best among them correctly without politics getting in the way.
For me even bigger than Adele’s performance of Skyfall was Hal Needham the stuntman and director of films like Smokey and the Bandit and Hooper winning a special Academy Award he very well deserved. Needham is a man I personally admire, so it was good to see him finally get an Oscar for his long career of work. It wasn’t a surprise to me that Seth MacFarlane did a comedy skit with Sally Field at the beginning where he asked her on a date in a Trans Am and everyone instantly recognized the role that will forever define her in Smokey and the Bandit. That film would have never happened without the effort and expert stunt work of Hal Needham. Sally Field won’t be remembered as the mother of Forest Gump, or the wife of Lincoln or any of her other fantastic acting roles over many years—she will always be known as Frog from Smokey and the Bandit, because the Bandit was an Übermensch and society loves their overman heroes.
When I saw the mug of Michelle Obama speaking from The White House I instantly wondered why Hollywood was allowed to get away with such an audacious display of affection. But I instantly knew the answer. Conservatives who have a lot of money do not spend their money on film production. They buy oil wells, real estate, and other traditional investments, but when it comes to film, they do not put their money where their mouth is, and because of it, have lost their message to investors who think progressive causes are the correct path. That is why Hollywood is in bed with the political left. Actors like Jack Nicholson will be anything you want them to be for the right price, and in Hollywood the money comes from progressive investors. The relationship is so cozy that for the first time, the wife of a President announced the Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Conservatives could have a seat at the table and compete directly with progressives if only they learned to put some of their money into film production so that they could at least play the public relations game, which they are now losing without a fight. The boldest attempt in my opinion during 2012 was Atlas Shrugged Part II. But not enough conservatives supported the film, leaving the producers hanging on the vine alone.
Meanwhile, I’m going to go listen to Adele’s Skyfall on my iPod about 2 million more times and contemplate the importance of the Übermensch in human culture. I will also dedicate my time, money and resources not to the orgy seekers who wanted to partake in mashed potato sex at Jack Nicholson’s house after the Academy Awards, but the Rebels With A Cause who are emerging as the new counter-culture in America. It is there that the new heart of Hollywood resides and the fate of our country and world. The new cool is not the Obama loving pot smoking, Che wearing actor from Beverly Hills, it is the conservative from the Midwest who walks like John Wayne, utters one liners like Clint Eastwood, and articulates an idea like Ronald Reagan. That is where the country’s salvation resides, and the real money that Hollywood could make if they didn’t eat like pets from the hands of ultra progressives who have finally taken over the Oscars and began to hand out Best Picture awards………..and laugh about it like it’s hip.
With all that I have said about the proper way to manage a public school system the birth place of such thoughts has not previously been revealed. But I am happy to reveal now that birthplace after my friend Kelly Kohls spoke at the West Chester Tea Party to a packed house on February 19th 2013. Several years ago Kelly invited my wife and I to The Golden Lamb for a special meeting in one of the upstairs banquet rooms for a group she started with other Ohio school board members called Educate Ohio. Kelly had recently become a member of the Springboro school board and had a lot of ideas on how to improve education quality for children while driving down the costs for the taxpayers. Since that very innovative meeting Kelly has went on to become the head of the Warren County Tea Party and is now president of the Springboro school board and managed to drive the per pupil cost of their district downward. Kelly has become everything that I would consider to be the most pristine example of what a school board president should be for every school in Ohio. Watch the video below to see how she did it, and how the same type of thing could be duplicated in any district. Her style of management should be the example that every school in the United States should follow. But it’s not easy, if it was, everyone would do it. And as Kelly will describe below she has faced many challenges. In fact, on the eve of the below speech the SEA, (Springboro Education Association) filed a complaint against Kelly’s school board for unfair labor practices—which I will get into more detail in a bit.
I knew when I attended The Golden Lamb meeting years ago that good things were going to come out of Kelly Kohls and I am very proud of the very good work she has done. It is far from easy to stand up to organized labor the way she has, but her district is much, much better for it. If you watched the video above, you learned that Springboro’s per pupil costs are on a downward trend. They are now into the $7,000 range down from the mid $8,000 range and this is unprecedented for any school board anywhere in Ohio. They are actually now projecting a budget surplus which is also unprecedented. In addition, Kelly has managed to bring up the weaknesses in the district rating system and performance of students by setting new standards of performance that are not driven by union controlled lobby expectations, but instead by common sense.
One of the major ways that Kelly has managed to gain control of the costs in Springboro is that she convinced her school board to drop out of the OSBA organization. The Ohio School Board Association is a membership driven entity that is locked arm and arm with the Ohio Education Association, the largest teacher labor union in Ohio. The goal of the OSBA is to train new school board members to show the community a unified front while actually taking direction from the teacher union leadership. As soon as school board members are elected they are whisked away to Columbus for a weekend of “bonding” with other education professionals so that loyalties can be achieved and consensus delivered. This always works against the tax payers and does absolutely no good in controlling education budgets. Kelly’s school board has cancelled their membership to the OSBA and instead has started her own leadership group designed to teach school board members to think independently of the OSBA and the OEA.
Another thing that Kelly revealed in her speech that was very illuminating was that Ohio no longer requires teachers to have a master’s degree from college to teach—which is contrary to what many districts have been telling the public when levy pushes are provoked. If I had a quarter for every time a teacher stated that they had to pursue a master’s degree to become a kindergarten teacher at Lakota there would be enough money to fund that school for decades with the result. The required master’s degree mandate uttered from public schools has been deliberately misleading. Ohio for four years now has dropped the requirement for master’s degrees for public education teachers. The pursuit of master’s degrees has artificially driven up the labor costs of teachers through step increases which amplify budget costs. Kelly has begun to make decisions from her school board with that knowledge which has led to a savings of the overall district financial requirements.
The unions see the writing on the wall under the leadership of Kelly Kohls, and know that they are losing their power and influence. There is no public tolerance for a strike in Springboro or any of the Southern Ohio districts, so they know they cannot play that card in the future to extort more money from the district. Unions are also losing the power of the media, because the negative press they attempt to wield has only helped Kelly Kohls and those like her become stronger and more influential. So when Kelly indicated that the school board wished to begin negotiations on a contract that is up in June of 2013 the SEA union filed a motion against Kelly’s school board with an “unfair labor practice” complaint. The union desires to not negotiate the new union contract until the last minute, using chaos to drive up the costs in their favor, which is an old union tactic. Kelly, being a good manager is trying to get the contract negotiated well before hand so that the numbers come out in favor of the district—which is what she is supposed to do. The action taken by the union is a toothless gesture. Without question they will attempt the same tactic again and again in the months to come trying to turn the public sentiment against Kohls, but it won’t work. Kelly will gain in popularity with each labor attempt because normal people admire courage, and respect people who stand squarely against adversity. So the more the Dayton Daily News writes about the labor dispute in Springboro, the stronger the public will lean in Kelly’s direction. This has placed the Springboro school board for the first time in perhaps 100 years in a position of strength, and is certainly a modern first in Ohio. Kelly’s Springboro school board is the shining modern example of how a school board should operate, and they are having immediate and noticeable success that is very dramatic.
The success of Springboro is dispelling all the myths that levy advocates for public education have been using to increase property taxes with an ultimate subtle aim of fulfilling Agenda 21 goals by collapsing suburbs through taxation using progressive groups like labor unions to set the mechanisms in place. The unfortunate victims have been the children who by Kelly’s charts have been denied proper educations in favor of an education system designed to benefit the adult employees at the expense of youth. The fight that Kelly has been combating is one that is of the highest honor, because in the history of Ohio far into the future, it will be remembered who fought on behalf of the children, and the future of not only Ohio, Springboro, or education in general, but the future of all mankind in the minds of our youth. Kelly Kohls is fighting that fight and has been successful. Now all the children of the world need is more brave souls to join Kelly in this fight against education tyranny so that proper management of tax payer resources can be provided, and the children can directly benefit. The thieves of public education need to be put out of business, and it takes tough ladies like Kelly Kohls and a handful of others to advance that cause in order to preserve our species from the downward spiral that is currently engulfing us all in public education.
If you are a school board member or would like to become one and need guidance, please feel free to contact Kelly Kohls and the other members of the OSBLC (Ohio School board Leadership Council) at the link below.
If anyone thinks that Jessie Jackson Jr. is alone in his fall from grace, guess again. Jackson is only the latest to get caught dipping is hand into campaign donations to buy Rolex watches and other tid-bits of pleasure while working in government. Politicians who would otherwise be unsuccessful in business find they can become respected in public office, but they lack the mental aptitude to resist temptation making them for the most part scandalous bands of thieves always looking to partner up with a financial pirate or public con artist. The Jackson case is fresh from the press and shows to what extent the trouble in government runs. I would say that Jessie Jackson’s tendency to throw his wife under the bus in his plea deal to get reduced jail time says everything about the quality of person Jackson is and all politicians in general. Read more about his case at the link below:
The trouble with politicians is that they represent the low quality constituents that America has become. Just the other day as I was listening to Bill Cunningham on the radio, he was rather animated over John Boehner’s long time position against earmarks in congressional bills. Cunningham on the air stated that his golf buddy John should drop a few billion dollars worth of earmarks into some bill to pay for the new bridge that needs to replace the Brent Spence connecting I-75 in Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky. “Nobody would notice,” Cunningham said. “Everyone else does it, so why doesn’t Boehner?” That statement ladies and gentlemen is why we have so many scum bags in politics. The more money that is thrown into the public treasury, there are far too many hands who wish to take it and use it for some pet project to satisfy the whims of any of the multiple lobbyists on K-Street. Wall Street to hedge their bets and keep government looters out of their pockets is happy to include politicians in their scams to keep the law off their back. Politicians like Jackson can’t resist the call of easy money, so they start taking it and buy themselves expensive watches, and real estate investments off money that isn’t technically theirs. Boehner is a Washington insider who considers himself an honest politician compared to the rest because he has a long-term policy against putting earmarks in congressional bills, but at the same time his golf buddies who claim to be conservative hawks want him to take money out of the treasury to pay for pet projects in the Speaker’s district—which is just as corrupt as when some politician on the other side of the country does it.
The trouble is in the lack of personal responsibility, the disconnect between the value of money and the value of the people stealing it. When people of little personal value have their hands on money of great value, the attraction is unfathomable. When Jessie Jackson Jr. took money to buy lavish gifts for himself, he did it to fill a void in himself that lacks personal character. When Bill Cunningham urges John Boehner to install earmarks in some meaningless congressional bill to raise the billions of dollars for a new bridge, he is making such statements from a lack of personal value. The money is there to be taken, so somebody should take it and use it on something needed. When Elizabeth Warren asks why there is a cozy relationship between Wall Street and politicians on Capitol Hill, she is really positioning herself for a candidacy in 2016 for President. She doesn’t care about the corruption really, but rather sticking to the progressive party talking points that wants to destroy Wall Street while making waves that place her on the national scene. Politics is all screwed up and is run by thieves and con artists because the values of our society are so bad that nobody sees such things as wrong any more. Nobody wishes to uphold a moral order, so there is no consequence for actions. That is unless, as in the case of Jessie Jackson Jr., he understates his income on his tax returns. Then, justice is swift and true. Government must have its money to pay for all the bandits that hold office there, and wish to make sweet-heart deals with scum bags on K-Street. When taxes aren’t paid, even Al Capone was sent to jail—because government is not about caring for people in a republic. It’s about making politicians rich off the backs of extortion and shell games of injustice that makes Las Vegas look like a church on a Sunday morning.
I get the typical questions still almost every day I do it, wondering why I ride a motorcycle in the harsh cold and falling snow. During the span of days where 6 AM temperatures hovered around 15 degrees in early February, 2013 through black ice and drifting snow I rode my motorcycle as I always do to the inquisitive curiosity of many. They don’t understand why a 45 year-old man is riding such a vehicle and suffering through the painful cold when I clearly don’t have to. My answer is one that many can’t understand logically, but it has to do with maintaining a Survivor mindset, one that does not falter under harsh conditions and can continue thinking when a physical reality is filled with pain. That answer leaves even more people scratching their heads because they don’t understand why such skills would be necessary in today’s world. But over the years I have done a very good job at surviving anything that has come my way, and I have been so good at it that my family has always joked that I should be a contestant on the TV show Survivor. In fact, half-way serious back during the third season of Survivor when they were going to Africa I actually tried out for the show. I was only 33 years-old at the time and went so far as to obtain my passport to appear on the show. Below is my audition tape that I sent to the producers. Their criteria at the time was to pick one item that I would want to bring with me on Survivor and describe why. I picked my 12 foot bullwhip.
The fun thing about watching that old video now is that I haven’t changed that much from then to now. My oldest daughter was just a little girl at the time as she held targets for me like she always used to. I filmed that little audition tape while my wife was making breakfast with her mother on a brisk November morning mainly because I wanted to send a message to my kids not to be afraid to try anything even if the odds are very much against you. Often the fun is in the journey, so it was delightful to assemble those clips with my daughter and allow her to take an active part in helping me try out for such a large television production while at the same time giving me a creative way to tell her the back history of how I came into using bullwhips as a hobby.
By now there is over a decade of Survivor episodes so we all know how the game has been played. Even though I haven’t played that particular game on that particular show I have played the game in real life very effectively. Some who know me best have seen to what extremes I am willing to play the game of Survivor in real life. I’ve had to do it with several companies, personal triumphs, also with politics and in hindsight I had very good instincts to try out for Survivor all those years ago. Watching the kind of people who have won over the last decade and studying how they’ve won I would have had a good chance at winning the million dollar prize, which is why that show has always been so popular. The large financial incentive in the game pits many different types of personalities against each other in a successful duplication of reality. After all, we all play Survivor in our everyday lives in some form or another, so we enjoy watching the show as it strips away all the masks that such competition hides behind. In the TV game Survivor the settings are always exotic and primitive with the basic human condition exposed under the rugged conditions and easy for viewers to study—which is why the show has been so successful.
Even though I didn’t get the opportunity to be on that show I have survived many personal episodes over the years, and you might be surprised dear reader how many times my use of the bullwhip has bailed me out over that span. Much of the time it is knowing when to be intense, when to form an alliance, when to break an alliance, when to be unpredictable, when to be predictable, when to show your cards and when not to that dictates who wins and loses in the game of Survivor which we all play every day. Being good at Survivor requires an understanding of who is scheming against you and who is simply trying to use you to get closer to their eventual goal of which you share with them the final prize. Much of the time alliances are formed with those you know eventually must be taken out before the game ends and you must detect when they are going to make a move against you so that the aggression can be headed off before hand.
In that regard the game of Survivor that we are all playing is not for a million dollars or even to survive in corporate America. The game of Survivor we are playing now is one for all the marbles in American philosophy. For the reasons that John Boehner has sided with Barack Obama in many cases while publicly pretending to dual with him is to maintain the alliance the two have formed along the lines of what George Soros recently revealed about a strategy against the Tea Party being played out in Davos, Switzerland. Boehner wants to protect machine politics as does Obama, so they both have that trait in common and find the Tea Party as a threat to their personal philosophy. They may not agree on much else, but they know they must get rid of the Tea Party before they fight each other, so they form a union, just like in the show Survivor. CLICK THE LINK BELOW FOR MORE.
The weakness of the Tea Party movement is that they are inheritably honest by nature so they find themselves often on the short end of the stick when playing against deceitful competitors. I too have the very same problem. It took me a long time to work through this handicap, which I figured out in my teenage years. I cannot be as deceitful as the typical politician and cannot change sides so quickly as others with less ethics have proven so capable of. The Soros/Obama plan is to provoke that honesty prevalent in the Tea Party “into the forest” as they put it, so that they can regain control of the two-party system. Locally we have seen traditional Republicans move away from the Tea Party for this very reason, because they are betting that the Tea Party will not survive, and they fear exposure. This trend is so popular that even education reformers like Governor Kasich are quickly changing their tune. He has formed an alliance with labor unions designed to earn his re-election and a run for President in 2016 by turning against the Tea Party ideas that he ran on. Kasich may not philosophically agree with the labor unions, but he will side with them now so that he can advance to a political level where he can betray them at a future tribal council—(metaphorically speaking).
What is required if you are a Tea Party supporter is a change in strategy that “they” don’t anticipate. As we move forward with fighting school levies, preserving the Constitution, and maintaining fiscal responsibility in government, it will require new alliances and a will to cut up the old ones into little pieces so that they cannot betray us in the future. If a deceitful manner is not an option for the Tea Party, which I know before hand that it’s not, then it requires a toughness that the opposition does not have to beat them.
I have learned over the years that the willingness to be “tougher” than a rival can provide leverage over the more manipulative in the game of Survivor. Opponents who play “politics” and believe they can outspend, outsmart, and outwit a competitor while sitting in the safety of their homes or their luxury cars are ALWAYS at a disadvantage to a rival who is not afraid to bleed, fight in the trenches and rip off the masks of those who desire to remain hidden behind them. In this way it is possible to always gain the upper hand on a rival who desires to play Survivor from a level of comfort.
If I had been on the show Survivor all those years ago, I would have done well using my athleticism to win a majority of the immunity challenges, and I would have done well otherwise by created and dismissing the proper alliances at the proper time. And the reason to this very day that I still do push-ups every day, and ride my motorcycle in the extreme cold, the snow, the rain, the intense lightning storms is to remind myself to never get comfortable, to always be ready to make an adjustment in alliances to one that is successful and will allow victory in the game of Survivor. Typical politicians like Barack Obama, John Boehner, John Kasich and financiers like George Soros are playing the real game of Survivor with the standard “outwit, outplay and outlast” motto. To win, all those elements are important and cannot bring victory to someone who doesn’t excel at all those traits. However, I would add “toughness” to that motto. The ability to be “tougher” than your opponents with all other things being equal proves that victory comes to the tougher player who plays as honestly as possible nearly 100% of the time. “Toughness” beats all the billions of dollars that people like George Soros spends on politics nearly every single time in a head to head competition of wits. That is the short answer to why I ride my motorcycle in the cold February months and leave the car in the garage 95% of the time. “Toughness” is not something you can purchase; it has to be earned the old-fashioned way, and is the extra boost that any competitor can use to defeat their rivals with assurance.
If the Tea Party can maintain their sense of toughness while all these alliances change hands then it will be possible for a handful of tough-minded rebel rousers to dismantle all the billions that George Soros and his minions have spent to advance a global “progressive” society, and it can dismantle the two-party buddy system that is modern politics. Weak minded competitors who can be purchased because of their love of comfort do not make good allies for the mentally tough anyway, so there is no loss when they abandon us in favor of George Soros type’s power and money. In the end, honesty, toughness, and tenacity added to maintaining the ability to outwit, outplay, and outlast is a winning formula that will take the Tea Party into the real life finals in the game of Survivor. The above formula will give the Tea Party a chance to do what many think is impossible—to save America from the advancement of global progressivism. The real game of Survivor is not on TV but is being played out right here right now in this time and the winners will be those who play it best, and last to the bitter end.
As for me, since the time that I first made that video for the third season of Survivor and now I have survived many, many, many metaphorical tribal councils—enough to have won the TV game many times over. Some of those real tribal councils have been every bit as vicious as what can be seen on that television show each week for over a decade now. I anticipate that over the next decade I’ll survive even more that are every bit as ferocious. There will many alliances that are broken, many tears that are spilled, and there may even be some blood—but in the end, it’s all about “outwitting, out playing and outlasting” competitors with my personal addition of playing with honesty, toughness, and tenacity. I am confident that I’ll win far more immunity challenges than I’ll lose because at 6 AM in the morning through the pouring rain, the drifting snow, the black ice and extreme cold, I’m the only one on a motorcycle, which is why I do it.
