I knew there was a reason I always liked Darryl Parks from 700 WLW. On his first Saturday show of December 2012 he offered an excellent reason why Kelsy Hartmann from Huber Heights—was caught having sex with one of her 16-year-old students in her husband’s car while pretending to do some last-minute shopping on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. According to Kelsey’s latest evaluation she was an excellent teacher, leaving Darryl to conclude that Kelsey was simply doing what many other teachers have been doing in the competitive field of public education, and that is to personally reach out to their students to give them something unique that all the evolving education tools are doing better, such as the modern computer. One thing that a computer can’t do for young students is have intercourse with them to keep their interests so during these very difficult times when school budgets are shrinking, and work forces are being reduced teachers like Kelsey have determined to stay on top of their students–quite literally. Maestros de escuelas públicas de amor tener sexo con hombres jóvenes y chupar sus penes! No wonder so many parents support public education for their needy young sons. And no wonder so many students take to the streets to tear down the signs of tax opposition when school levies are attempted. The young boys of public education know they can’t get sex this easy anywhere else but in their classrooms, so they defend their sexually charged teachers with a fury. Check out the pictures of Kesley at Darryl’s blog posting, and then listen to his Saturday broadcast below.
I think Darryl is right; Rosetta Stone software has changed the field of foreign language education. In these modern times of 2012, it is rather easy to learn a foreign language should one wish to, completely invalidating the old archaic style performed in front of a classroom. The two years of mandatory high school foreign language education is absolutely out of date—because the modern computer does a much better job than a traditional teacher. So credit must be given to Kelsey and her barrage of other public school teachers and their labor unions all around Ohio who have tener mucho sexo con hombres jóvenes y tragar su semon en cantidades tales que los maestros beben su hombría por la taza con el café. And we thought teachers were drinking coffee in the morning……………………..apparently not.
A computer can teach young students in high school better than just about any teacher in any course these days—math, science, history and especially foreign language. Since most people learn by visual stimulation, the computer is much better equipped to perform most of the modern education tasks with far superior results than the traditional teacher, and the computer is a lot cheaper on labor too. But a computer will not steal the keys of her husband’s car and meet with students on the side of a road and have sex with them to keep their interest in public education like Kelsey and her other tri-state teachers will. That is the one thing the computer cannot do better, and that is actually provide such “hands on” training.
So whenever a school levy is voted for, and support for public education is declared, think of the over the top and under the covers antics of many fine teachers like Kelsey Hartmann and how dedicated to their students they truly are—so much so that they are willing to stay on top of their students needs—literally. Kelsey le encanta sentarse sobre el pene de sus alumnos en el asiento trasero de un coche. Auuuuhhh…………….public education at its finest.
Star Wars is not a political party driven philosophy. I would doubt that Star Wars creator George Lucas would call himself a Democrat or a Republican or even a Libertarian. I would say he is a story-teller with an excellent grasp of history and technical innovation. And I see Star Wars as an offering that can redeem society in ways that are currently unimaginable. For my daughter’s 23rd birthday she wanted a special cake, something that really meant something to her personally, so my wife made her a Star Wars cake complete with an Ewok Village created out of all edible elements. Only the Lego Ewoks were parts of the cake that couldn’t be eaten. Star Wars many times in my family’s past has served as a backdrop for unlimited imagination and teaching values that were family oriented. The trees were made out of ice cream cones, and also the huts. The trees were made out of pretzels. The bridges were made out of candy and graham crackers. Of course she loved it.
A message to my Tea Party friends and social reformers deserves mention, no matter how dark things may seem it can always get worse or better depending on the quality of the people who make up a republic. In fact I look very forward to Disney’s ownership of the Star Wars franchise because there may come a day real soon that the series of books spawned from the movies may be made into television or movie formats in the future similar to how today’s Clone Wars series is presented on Cartoon Network—which my wife and I watch—religiously————and I mean religiously every Saturday morning at 9:30 AM. I find them visual beautiful to look at, but at the same time intellectually stimulating. I disagree emphatically with the clip below of Adolf Hitler’s assessment of the Disney acquisition of Star Wars from George Lucas.
The following books tell the story better than anything available of religious peril, the invasion of a galaxy by a very hostile unknown species, political upheavals, family tragedy, scientific mystery, social redemption, life after death—(in great detail), personal conquest, spiritual enlightenment, galactic civil war, quests for freedom, the origins of evil, justification for violence, and in essence the entire meaning of life in a span of books that runs 42 novels long each about 500 to 700 pages in length. I consider them to be the most encompassing gathering of literature ever done on a subject of any kind and I say that with my hand on one of my favorites, Leo Tolstroy’s War and Peace. While the Star Wars books are not the most artistic as they are designed to be read by young people from the 7th and 8th grade on up, the content of the stories is truly significant and beneficial to anyone who takes the time to read them. They are in order:
Vector Prime, Dark Tide 1: Onslaught, Dark Tide II: Ruin, Agents of Chaos I: Hero’s Trial, Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse, Balance Point, Recovery, Edge of Victory I:Conquest, Edge of Victory II: Rebirth, Star by Star (one of my favorites), Dark Journey, Enemy Lines I: Rebel Dream, Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand, Traitor (one of my all time favorites), Destiny’s Way, Ylesia, Force Heretic I: Remnant, Force Heretic II Refugee, Force Heretic III: Reunion, The Final Prophecy, The Unifying Force (an absolutely stunning story), The Joiner King, The Unseen Queen, The Swarm War, Betrayal, Bloodlines, Tempest, Exile, Sacrifice, Inferno, Fury, Revelations, Invincible, Outcast, Omen, Abyss, (very spiritually bold in that half of it takes place in the afterlife), Backlash, Allies, Vortex, Conviction, Ascension, and Apocalypse.
I believe with all my heart and soul that because those books are not politically motivated, and they take place in a galaxy a long time ago, far, far away, that they have the chance to shape our society in a unique way that is yet uncharted in human existence.
Let me explain—most of the work that shaped the American Revolution consisted of small works, such as the literature of John Locke, Adam Smith, Plato even Shakespeare—all of which I’ve read. The thoughts about communism that are so prevalent today were shaped by Karl Marx’s little book The Communist Manifesto and the left has used the methods of Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience to organize support during the Civil Rights Movement. That is another small book that has had a big impact on the world around us. All those works combined do not equate to the amount of work and effort that Lucas Publishing has expended in telling the marvelously epic story of Star Wars described in the books mentioned above. But the story doesn’t end with just those books—not even close–there are over 100 books that take place during a 6000 year span of time that displays vividly the violent rise and fall of many generation’s governments and how different species of beings interact positively and negatively against each other.
When I think of the book burning rituals that took place whenever dictators rose to power to assert their strength over the previous cultures, I think of the attempt by those despots to erase from the minds of mankind the knowledge they need to question reality—which is the point of burning books. Most of the time because of the cozy relationship business often has with government out of the necessity of survival books like the Star Wars series could never have been even conceived let alone achieved, but under George Lucas he has pulled off the feat and done human kind a tremendous service.
It is only a matter of time before the young people who have read these Star Wars books are in a position socially to act on what they’ve learned, and I can say that when that day arrives, the world will be much better off. Star Wars is about fighting and winning personal freedom in the context of social responsibility. It’s a big concept that has tremendous potential philosophically, and socially and the best of Star Wars is not in the films, which simply plant the seeds of story for curious minds to follow, but is in the books which takes readers deep down the Rabbit Holes of life for a journey that holds many of the keys to all the possibilities that exist. The impact of this literature has yet to be felt, but in time it will. The literature of Star Wars is the key to understanding many of the complex issues of our modern age in the context that they must be taken in—and within that knowledge is a security that can only come to an increased intellect. For that, I will always be a fan—and be eternally grateful. It is for that reason that I suggest to all those feeling hopeless and desperate in their lives to take a few years off life and read all those books in the order that I presented them, and you will discover within yourself a life of unlimited potential and everlasting joy that cannot be taken by any government or social parasite.
George Lucas has always been much more of an advocate of education than a mindless capitalist like he’s been accused of. He used his money to educate the world in a way that was so cleaver that the worst of the tyrants never knew what was happening, until it hit critical mass and entered the subconscious of the world in an unstoppable force that now has a life of its own. The first of that education miracle is Angry Birds Star Wars, the game of time, distance, trajectory and impact strategy!
In relation to the Hostess Labor Strike that I wrote about yesterday, the issue of public education must be painted against this backdrop. CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW. Public education is controlled by radical labor unions who teach our children aspects of life that many of us may not agree with—such as sexual education that leans in a promiscuous direction, anti-capitalistic labor practices, large government expansion, and of course destructive global sciences that are rooted in belief and not fact. These would not be so problematic if parents had an option as to where they could send their children, and if they did not like the school and what it taught their children, they had the option of taking their child to another school that was more in line with their family’s beliefs. However, the union labor agreements with government help has helped create a destructive progressive monopoly that resides in each and every neighborhood in America and it is with these monopolies that the single greatest threat to The United States resides—the attack on the minds of our youth to learn things that are not only detrimental to themselves, but our nation—as is in evidence by the results of the 2012 election.
Labor unions in public school maintain a government backed monopoly, and when education employees wish to increase their wages, all they must do is strike forcing school boards and federal mediators to come in and resolve the labor dispute. Parents do not have the option to pick their kids up and take them to another school that does not have striking employees, busing cuts, or pay-for-play extracurricular activities because government has backed the labor unions into maintaining an education monopoly—forcefully taking money from property ownership to fund the monopoly. The only recourse a parent has who is displeased with this arrangement is to pull their child out of their local public school and teach them at home. But the scam still impacts them as their tax money will still be stolen from their property value whether or not the parents enjoy the product of public education.
When teachers strike, parents have no choice but to accept the product and this is wrong. This government arrangement with public education ensures that the teaching profession will always be paid much higher than the tax payers who pay their salaries with benefits that are lavish and among the best of their kind. The working hours are extraordinarily easy, and the other benefits are excessively good—and are granted because education has maintained this monopoly status with the guns of the government at their back leaving some radical teachers to advocate political beliefs to our youth without fear of competing ideas to filter out the actual merit. Parents are told to put up and shut up, and to simply pay their taxes, otherwise their property will be seized.
Whatever you call pure evil, the story below is the embodiment of it. If in the past you screamed for President Nixon to resign over Watergate you should scream the same thing of Obama over Benghazi, because it is much, much worse. If you declared that President Reagan should be impeached over Iran Contra, then you should say the same about President Obama and his Department of Justice head Eric Holder, because they are involved in much more sinister plans than anything done during that epic failure that would forever tarnish the reputation of Ronald Reagan. Benghazi has written all over it the worst of American politics, it involves death, sex, betrayal, and worse of all, a complete willingness by a sitting President to lie to the American public and to destroy the lives of everyone, and anyone to do it.
Glenn Beck has provided so far the best information about the Benghazi failure without over-the-top conspiracy theories. Many Americans simply are not evil, and cannot begin to wrap their minds around people who are—people who will do anything at any cost to win their position. And when it comes to the highest office in the world compounded with the fact that the players are extreme radicals, the recipient for destruction is self-evident to anyone who cares to look. Listen to these below broadcasts carefully and completely and you will learn all you need to know about the Benghazi situation that is behind the curtain of the General Petraus affair.
General Petraus was deliberately baited and set up to take the fall for a number of diabolical schemes that were already well in motion. And the Obama Administration is attempting to conceal their many crimes by making the entire Benghazi situation into one of sex which was the same strategy Clinton’s Administration used to cover up his perjury conviction in the House of Representatives in 1998, which many people forgot about, due to the successful distraction created by the Lewinsky sex scandal. The public was so infatuated with the presidential semen stains on the blue dress that they could simply not grapple with the severity of the perjury case. This is what you get when you elect lawyers into public office, and Obama is a radical socialist sympathizer who is also a lawyer. Click the bellow link to review the Clinton case.
By setting up Petraus to take the fall for the gun running operation that supplied the terrorists in Libya in order to overthrow Kaddafi, the Obama Administration had planted the seeds that Beck explained in great detail above. It should be obvious by now to understand why Obama called in the military action against Libya while he was in Brazil which caused so much of a stir, but again was easily forgotten due to the sheer volume of negative information the American people were required to digest of the evil being performed right under their noses.
The lawyer tactic used in all these cases, which all these former and present presidents employee to advance their power grabs–to cover their tracks in the wake of much destruction, is the “Crow Test.“ Click here to read my article on this diabolical scheme that is used every single day to cover the many crimes that happen in broad daylight. The sex scandal of Petraus is the overload information item designed intentionally by many evil minds to focus the mass public on information that they find more appealing, and sensational than the menacing truth behind the many deaths that have fallen in the line of fire from a regime of power grabbers that will do anything to have their way. That is why the punishment of these characters must be swift, and decisive. The minds of the public cannot be allowed to be toyed with like children easily distracted by the newest toy in their play pin.
Evil must be dealt with not with careful hands and pats on the back hoping to appease their temperament. Evil must be crushed—completely, and mashed out of existence. Failure of such conviction will ultimately destroy our country for all political parties, no matter what their affiliation. This game in Benghazi requires a conviction against evil, and anything else will allow more evil to encroach itself even deeper into American culture like the fulfillment of a Book of Revelations prophecy.
One of the keys to winning at war, according to the ancient Chinese literary classic, The Art of War is that the military strategist must “possess the heart to take hearts,” meaning you must not show mercy to your enemy even if they squirm on the ground when they are caught and beg for mercy. Such enemies must have their heads cut off when they are strategically outmaneuvered. If they are allowed to live, they will return to fight again the next time more prepared than the previous time, and such is the case over Benghazi in relation to President Clinton’s perjury conviction. The same tactics will be used later to conceal much greater crimes because they worked before, and will work in the future. The recipients of the manipulation lack the heart to take hearts these days, and evil knows it. That is why Benghazi cannot be allowed to be swept under the rug and justice must be pursued no matter who falls from power, or who goes to jail. All involved must be made an example of if America is to preserve itself as a nation and such justice must be pursued as though all our lives depended on it—because in a lot of ways—it does.
Obama dared everyone to come after him. I suggest many people oblige him.
“Pretty tough talk Obama, with your NDAA Act behind you and the entire military much of which you’ve managed to strip away the top ranking officials……………Hmmmm? I wonder what you’re up to?”
For all you ultra conservative Republicans who probably haven’t been in a parking lot fight in 60 years—if ever—Obama is calling you out. Usually when a guy talks smack like he is he’s guilty and trying to bluff his true position with brute force. It worked against Romney in the second debate and Romney backed off like a nice conservative and never brought it up again. Now Obama’s trying to do the same thing in front of the Benghazi congressional hearings. You’ll notice that the labor unions use the same tactic. The best thing to do when these types of thugs mouth off like that is to go over and give them everything you’ve got and then some. Because they are asking for it, and calculate that you won’t do it.
If there is a great hope that I have for the future of civilization, it is in the philosophy advocated through Star Wars to the mass population, and specifically the youth. My views on this prompted Matt Clark and I to discuss the issue on WAAM Radio in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
In the story arch of Star Wars it is not about just one character, or even one family. It is a very encompassing idea that is nearly as complicated as Greek Mythology and is about the fundamental conflicts of a philosophy that embodies pure aggression and conquest against another focused on understanding. Within the story arcs done up to this point not only in the movies but the novels governments and the politicians behind them rise and fall many times, but always the heroes prevail through tenacity to give rise to another day. The one primary consistency in Star Wars is the prevalence of the Jedi Knights to always be present to offer logic and solutions, even when they find themselves enemies of the current political regimes. Sometimes they are on the right side of history as honored heroes, and sometimes they are fugitives fighting for their very existence, so whenever a long view is needed, Star Wars is a great mythology to partake in.
Under Disney it is my hope that Star Wars explodes culturally, not to make everyone sick of it, but in today’s tumultuous political climates and social atmosphere there really isn’t any other story that paints such a clear picture of right and wrong than Star Wars. At its roots, Star Wars is an old-fashioned story that paints the picture of moral dilemmas exceptionally well. It is my great hope that Star Wars under Disney ends up on cartoon stations, live action television and as many feature films that can be churned out from now till the end of time—because the essence of what Star Wars is about is good for society—because it invokes “thinking.”
So a theme park like the one shown above is not far off, and when it comes, I see big—positive things happening on a scale never seen before in any entertainment venture. To my thinking there is nothing more powerful in human society than the myths people live by. No invention of the human mind—be it cars, airplanes, electricity—anything, has the power of a great story. And Star Wars is a big story about big ideas. When the theme park is built, it will allow for the first time visitors to not only live out these big ideas within the context of a movie, or a book, but to walk around in these environments in a way that has never before been possible except with the massive resources of a big company that does great good like the Walt Disney Company.
When the new Star Wars Park opens, I will be one of the first in line with my entire family and I will be extremely excited to be there among the magic that perpetuates great ideas, and wonderful philosophy placed in a context that has significant social application. In my house we have over 265 novels and junior novels that capture the epic story of Star Wars with a literary legacy that is unparalleled. I have read most of them, my wife has read them all, and we will use those books to bring huge ideas to our growing family. It is a great relief to us to see that Star Wars will always be there for the decades to come and will become more of a reality than the fantasy that it currently is within our lifetimes.
Now that we know Obama will be the President I would expect that Congress will move for proceedings to fully investigate the Benghazi situation and Fast and Furious. If criminal misconduct is discovered, then impeachment proceedings need to be implemented. It is time to stop playing patty cake with the Executive Branch, especially now that it is known Obama will be in office for four more years. That is plenty of time to prosecute him in for the crimes Obama has committed against the vast multitude of the Red States which make up the heart of America.
Let me explain what happened on November 6th, 2012 to all my Republican friends. You are not respected by the media or progressives because you do not go for the jugular when you get the opportunity. The progressives are radical and do not function from a morality that conservatives understand. Obama has wreaked the American economy, been in the middle of multiple scandals and shown that he is a completely incompetent manager. Yet he was voted to re-election in spite of many, many hours of talk radio, television news picking apart his presidency, and countless books and movies being made about his detriment to American life. This happened because Republicans play nice—they play fair, and they assume the game both sides are playing is an honorable one
We are not all playing the same game by the same rules, and when there is a chance to destroy your enemy, you do it. And it is the job of Congress to protect the people from the crimes of progressive politicians.
I can say that Obama is not my president. He is the president of the socialists who live on the East Coast, in high density population centers, and on the West Coast where a constant barrage of immigration coming from socialist countries abroad see American socialism as freedom relative to where they came from. But in the heart of the country, Obama does not represent my values, or the values of my neighbors. So it is time to stop playing nice and go after these parasites to American livelihood before their progressive politics destroy all of our lives which clearly appears to be the intent.
We are 16 trillion dollars in debt and we just re-elected the fool who created that dangerous situation. Where is the justice? Where is the courage? Where is the honor in a system of government who can lie to the American people over multiple issues, and win the privilege to hide those crimes behind executive orders?
We are not one nation, and the enemy is allowed to advance because conservatives do not have the courage, or temper to put them in their place as the encroachments progress. In this last election, it was the aggressive Chris Christie who put his arm around Obama over Hurricane Sandy and it improved Obama’s image just enough to make Obama appear just good enough to look presidential and helpful. That is what happens when conservatives compromise, when they put their arm around a snake and hope that their kindness will keep them from getting bit. Romney didn’t push Benghazi in the debates, letting Obama off the hook and Chris Christie pandered to the President to get the relief money for his state. That is where the election was lost. Both conservative men believe they were being “fair” to Obama by not rubbing salt in a wounded president. Meanwhile Obama was calling for “REVENGE” on the campaign trail when Romney called for “Love.” Do you see now which one wins? Evil presides when good men do nothing, or when good men try to appease evil with kindness.
Obama’s Administration is responsible for many bad things, and it is the job of congress to go after them aggressively instead of letting them play kindness as a weapon to create stalemates which progressives will then take advantage of anyway with blame for economic stagnation such as the upcoming tax increase debates and the debt ceiling. They will play every dirty trick to make conservatives look bad, because they do not worry about the same treatment coming back in their direction. And this election is the statement that their method works over the strategy of conservatives. Now, because of the lack of aggression, America will be forced to submit to Obama Care, and countless other encroachments that the Red States will have to suffer from because conservatives did not have the aggression, or the courage to take away the heart of the progressives when they had a chance. Instead, they let them get up off the mat to become dangerous once again.
So listen to what I’m saying……………….John Boehner, that means you. If you do not act now, and I mean right now while there is still a Republican majority in the House, our nation will be lost forever, and progressive socialism will destroy our country. If you play nice, if you compromise with them, if you play golf with them, if you seek their approval in any way possible, you will lose in the end because they will not stop till all barriers to their destructive desires are fulfilled, and now that Obama has the White House for four more years, Congress is the only protection left to the American people who live in the Red States—in the core of the country, from the European socialists who live on the coast.
We are not one nation any longer and Obama is not my president. He is a thief, a provocateur, and a con man—and I want nothing to do with him or his thuggish strategies. I trusted the voting system and the American people to remove such a threat through a free and open election, and the system failed. That does not mean we all go peacefully into the night and shrug our shoulders and declare that we’ll all do better next time. The time to act is now, and that action must be swift, and decisive, and done with the knowledge that half the nation will be angry about it. But so what……….because the Red States are not happy to have Obama Care rammed down their throats, and four more years of a looting president who is ruining our country with debt and mismanagement. Concession will not bring peace, or popularity. Instead, it will ensure that we obtain neither.
Remember, remember, the actions in Benghazi, and bring justice where it belongs before that too is swept under the rug by soulless progressives and the schemes of destruction.
When studying the nature and evils of “collectivism” the ultimate question comes to mind inevitably—why. Why is it that collectivism is such a prevalent human trait that is the greatest threat to individual liberty? Why are there a large number of people who live in modern society who are attracted to political philosophies like socialism and communism? Why is it that some people believe that for their lives to be successful that it requires my participation in their life so they can feed off my effort just to live? This is without question the duality of modern America and the greatest challenge the human race faces in the 21st century. Some in America like me wish to be left free to achieve whatever our effort and imaginations can conceive while others wish simply to live from day-to-day in a collective pattern of herd mentality living and dying uneventfully with an eye always on the horizon toward some spectacular afterlife.
I would argue that such dramatic changes in philosophy come from minds that have lived in gray areas of their lives, and those shades of gray do allow unstable minds to alter their world-view. This is a prevalent trait in creative people, and creative people are often the ones who interpret history for the more logical businessmen and legislators of any age. So it is for this reason that I tend to trust only bodies of work, creative literature and serious science that predates the progressive era of Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and their love of European royalty. It is in just such a book that I went searching for an answer to this problem of modern and historical collectivism—and I think I’ve found it in the below quote.
“Among the Thompson Indians of British Columbia, when the men were on the war-path, the women performed dances at frequent intervals. These dances were believed to ensure the success of the expedition. The dancers flourished their knives, threw long sharp-pointed sticks forward, or drew sticks with hooked ends repeatedly backward and forward. Throwing the sticks forward was symbolic of piercing or warding off the enemy, and drawing them back was symbolic of drawing their own men from danger. The hook at the end of the stick was particularly well adapted to serve the purpose of a life-saving apparatus. The women always pointed their weapons towards the enemy’s country. They painted their faces red and sang as they danced, and they prayed to the weapons to preserve their husbands and help them to kill many foes.” Such is the statement provided after the exhaustive research that went into the great book The Golden Bough written by Sir James Frazer in 1890 under the chapter “Sympathetic Magic.”
As ridiculous as some might think that the behavior of the Thompson Indians were, all one needs to do to see modern examples of it today is to attend a sporting event. In any stadium where football is played, “sympathetic magic” is being used as fans wear clothing and practice rituals that they believe will help their team to victory. Some fans and even players will pray to God to help them attain victory. It is well-known that baseball players often will wear a particular pair of shoes or wear the unwashed socks from a previous “big game” in hopes that the magic of those past events will translate to success in a future, yet un-played game. The name “sympathetic magic” means that the ritual performed in whatever capacity will invoke success through some magical, unknown means, but that the belief that like, or “shared” things have power over fate permeates. Such as the fan who wears the jersey of their favorite player hoping in the back of their mind that such an action will help that player perform better on the field of battle. Fans of the modern age may think of themselves as being more educated and sophisticated than the Thompson Indians of British Columbia, but they aren’t in practice.
We see the same attempts at “sympathetic magic” with politics, and even the way tax money is spent. Teacher unions and their neurotic soccer mom supporters advocate that more money spent on a school will magically make the school better. They have direct evidence that such a thing can’t happen, and even history and logic speak against such a thought. Yet they insist to believe with all the naiveté of a fool that throwing money at a problem will solve it. Their scientific logic has all the merit of a child throwing a penny into a fountain and making a wish, which is “sympathetic magic” yet they adhere to such foolishness with great religious zeal—even violence to protect their desire to retain such beliefs against the face of reality.
To protect themselves against reality, people who have such feeble minds to construct their lives around “sympathetic magic” gather in groups just like the village people of primitive cultures in a shared belief that if they all focus their minds on the same idea using “sympathetic magic” that they can alter reality. This is the root cause of collectivism. This is actually the root cause of much evil in the world and was the warning of Nietzsche and Ayn Rand. It is also why collective orientated people hate those philosophers with religious fury, because the introduction of such a reality contaminates the “sympathetic magic” they are attempting to invoke among the Gods. Collectivism therefore is the mechanism that is holding human kind back into a continuous state of decay and regression whereas the American experiment of individualism produced explosive invention and dramatic wealth production. In America human beings for the first time in recorded human history could think and live without the imposition of having a ruler force upon the individual an insistence of scientific thought bound to the mechanisms of “sympathetic magic.” In America the first of the Übermenschs’ emerged as Nietzsche predicted and like all cultures the birth begins in art—in this case the minds of creative science, authors like Ayn Rand, and filmmakers like George Lucas who in his youth created Han Solo, even if in his older years philanthropy and being a billionaire with the added pressure of old age, created in his mind the hope for a little “sympathetic magic” to reach across the great unknown and hope that the Gods will smile upon his actions on earth. The old George Lucas insists that the young George Lucas always intended to have Han shoot second. But it is in such revisions that all manners of “sympathetic magic” are protected through historical revision so that the minds of collectivists can maintain their illusions in the face of a grim reality—that courses of history can only be altered through individual will by those who most honestly follow their own private bliss as solo participants in their own hero adventures divorced from any collective cause and downtrodden superstition.
I have said it before; Epcot Center is my favorite place on planet earth. I am most happy, most comfortable, most excited about the future of mankind when I visit the Epcot Center. I fully believe that Disney desired to build the theme park to prevent the future that is at the beginning of Ayn Rand’s Anthem. It is becoming increasingly evident that the human race has had to reinvent itself not just once, not just twice, not just three times, but many, many, many times over millions of years and Ayn Rand was aware of this tragic trend. People who hate Ayn Rand’s work are the kind of people Rand as an author was trying to warn society about. And for those who want an easy way to understand Ayn Rand, and are mystified as to why her book Atlas Shrugged is so beloved, and why to this day The Fountainhead is quietly cherished, it is her book Anthem that grabs hold of the themes that would become her legacy, for it is aptly named. The last two chapters of Anthem are two of the most declarative, and profound statements in human literature by an author of any kind or time.
In 2012 communism has already corrupted much of society and the entire globe is marching backwards on a predictable path that was clear to Disney and Rand many years ago. Rand sets Anthem approximately 200 years into the future of the present and in that society the word “I” has been eradicated from all human knowledge. The time we presently live in was called The Unmentionable Times and the entire society assumes that communism has taken full hold, and is the governing world power. The result is that innovation has been eliminated and society has regressed back into a primitive form. In Anthem, there is much celebration when their future society has spent 50 years developing and gaining permits from the World Council to invent a candle. When the hero named Equality 7-2521 discovers evidence of our present civilization in a box of unused light bulbs he takes it to his masters thinking they will be very happy. They of course are not. In fact, they are furious, and desire to burn him in a public execution. While reading about these events I couldn’t help but think of all the executions done during The Dark Ages, and clearly this was what Rand was concerned with in her plot device. The theme is that collectivism socially by its very nature regresses backwards and to such an extent that the people in Equality 7-2521’s time are not even allowed to contemplate the events of “The Unmentionable Time.”
Modern readers may wish to snicker at Ayn Rand’s premise in Anthem. They may find it hard to believe that such a thing could ever happen which is understandable in a world of smart phones, air planes, and the Internet. But Rand had watched the process happen first hand before she fled the Soviet Union which was chronicled in her book We The Living. She watched the backwards social advancement of collectivism and she hated it. When she came to The United States she wrote about life in Russia under communism in We The Living that the publisher Cassell put in print. But they turned down Anthem saying that “the author does not understand socialism.” Rand was trying to publish Anthem during The Red Decade and few people today understand how powerful the communist influence was in America, because after the Cold War, our grandparents didn’t talk about it. Even Ronald Reagan gave communism a chance until he made a film and witness firsthand the destruction by socialism in the small tenements around Elstree Studios, in England. People today laugh at Ayn Rand and her anger at collectivism because they do not have the context of history in their understanding. Few people know today what life was like before FDR’s New Deal, which was a direct response to The Red Decade. They assume that labor unions always existed, that there was always Medicare, always Social Security, always a time when money wasn’t backed by gold, and that public education was always the center of every community. In reality, most of those things happened after Anthem’s publication because Rand saw it coming, and tried to warn Americans to not follow the demise of the country she had just ran from.
But Uncle Walt listened, and he corresponded with Rand, specifically about Anthem. And his answer to the crises exhibited in the novel that humanity might not forget the achievements it had so far gained was a new amusement park dedicated to the cause. It would appear that Disney wanted to fight collectivism through creating a place that would not allow technology to fall under the rule of proletariat dictatorships. Epcot Center was intended to stop the constant periods of invention, then regression that has impeded the human race for many beginnings over time. That is why even with all the controversy surrounding Ayn Rand, even with all the modern progressive types who run Disney World and the many youthful employees who have been raised under philosophies of collectivism, that Rand’s quote is prominently displayed at the American Heritage Pavilion. Disney was very concerned about making good family entertainment which they still are great at today, but Uncle Walt—the man behind the billions and billions of dollars generated by the Walt Disney Company is one of Ayn Rand’s “men of the mind” from Atlas Shrugged, and he knew it. A world without people like Walt Disney, or the modern day equivalent in George Lucas would be a desolate world already well on its way toward the beginning of Anthem.
I was pleasantly surprised that Rand didn’t stop in the dystopian arena that surrounded stories of the period like Soylent Green and Brave New World. Anthem goes beyond those grim visions and actually earns its title in a bold way that would later become The Fountainhead. Anthem is a bold declaration to the world of the human right to be an independent man. The book is awesome and if you’ve ever visited the Epcot Center and find that you love the place you will love Anthem. If you are the type of person who finds Epcot Center boring, you will probably hate Anthem, and Disney had people like you in mind, that’s why there is a Downtown Disney. Go shopping and eat some ice cream if you are that kind of person. But for the thinkers, the lovers of life, the energetic minds striving to see what is next for the human race fighting against collectivism to achieve those next steps against the tide of communism that is attempting to place us all in shackles, Anthem a book that you must read.
For the advocates of collectivism who are perplexed as to why John Aglialoro and Harmon Kaslow spent small fortunes against conventional Hollywood logic to make Atlas Shrugged Part 2, as fans show up to see the film in spite of the bad reviews and why Ayn Rand books are flying off of book shelves in perplexing quantities, all you need to do is read that plague from Ayn Rand displayed proudly at the Epcot Center to understand that Anthem is more than a warning on the direction of mankind. It also exhibits perfectly the two different directions of two different types of people functioning in America today and the battle that is presently being waged. The fight of our day is to avoid for the first time that human beings have breathed air into their lungs to revert into collectivism after having small tastes of freedom. If we ever did, the Epcot Center would be available to remind mankind of what it’s giving up in order to have a world of the inclusive “WE.” (collectivism)

George Lang of the three trustees in West Chester Township was the only one who stepped forward when Scott Sloan of 700 WLW wanted to dig deeper into the story of the Liberty Tax Service scandal. In 2010 a $500 ticket was issued to the tax service company at their West Chester location because of their tendency to dress up employees in costume to advertise their businesses along roadways near their establishment. In this case an employee was dressed up in a Lady of Liberty outfit which looked like the Statue of Liberty and this was apparently in violation of the West Chester zoning regulations regarding signage. Kyle Garth, co-owner of the Liberty Tax Service protested declaring that a human being cannot be a sign and that it did not violate any laws in West Chester, and that the zoning commission was taking away his No. 1 marketing tool, and that the restriction was killing his business. In West Chester, as in most communities the zoning commission works directly for the trustees. In this case, it is Cathy Stoker who is one of the three trustees in West Chester and has been in place for half a century, Lee Wong who is fairly new and leans distinctly progressive in his thinking. Then there is George Lang who is most certainly a capitalist and has done a very good job of helping to lure in much of the business that is bringing so much prosperity to West Chester over the last decade. When asked to come onto the Scott Sloan Show to answer questions about why West Chester zoning laws was so unfriendly to Liberty Tax Service, only George Lang came on the radio to comment. Listen to that broadcast at the video below, it’s quite good:
There is a growing sentiment that is emerging, which can be heard in that broadcast. Politicians like Lee Wong and Cathy Stoker believe that it is they who create the wealth of a community and once they gain the power of a name plate, that a thumbs up from them or a thumbs down will dictate the fate of thousands. There is a weary feeling that most Americans have toward politics where this tendency is recognized, but not completely accepted due to the inconvenience of the knowledge. Acknowledging the political reality of a tendency toward corruption is the reason why nothing every gets fixed, because it requires more good people to get involved, and most good people have better things to do than involve themselves in politics—leaving the occupation to thieves, bandits and psychologically deficient minds.
Out of the three trustees in West Chester only George Lang comes close to being the kind of politician who the system was intended to host upon its inception. He’s a self-made man who is not working as a politician to make a living off of public service. I don’t think he even knows how much money he gets to be a trustee because the number is so unimportant to him. The same cannot be said of the other two. Most politicians seek to make worth from their devalued lives with the thumb of an emperor who can decide if a business succeeds or fails by the power of their support. Most politicians have no idea what it takes to start a business or what an imposition it is to pay taxes because they are social parasites and are not motivated to create anything, only to live off the efforts of others.
Two out of the three trustees in West Chester have supported the ridiculous idea that human signs advertising their businesses along roadways are cluttering up the look of the community and should be fined for their crimes against aesthetics, a leisurely perspective ordained to the minds of the political class who attempt to use tax money to mold society into their own Fisher Price play sets carried over from their youths. They forget that there are very intelligent and capable minds that are really doing all the work, and providing the blocks the politicians are playing with to shape society into their simplified visions. The politicians forget that they do nothing to make a community great but sit back and take credit for the efforts of others.
It was wonderful for a change to hear George Lang during his interview on 700 WLW acknowledge the businessmen who make West Chester such a great community. Most of the time public school levy advocates, trustees, zoning employees, philanthropists, community foundations, and other collectivist oriented organizations forget that it is individual business owners like the owner of Liberty Tax Services who provide all the revenue in taxes and general business that allows all the groups mentioned to even exist. Without the business owners who attempt to try their hand at a new idea and manage to raise the capital to begin a business, the groups mentioned would only be able to gather around a campfire and wait for someone to bring them something to do. Politicians are simply people who wait for someone else to do something, and then they take it upon themselves to critic the work done by others with new legislation.
The two trustee politicians in West Chester with their zoning board who support the aggressive sign restrictions against businesses would have nothing to do if no business owner attempted to start a company in West Chester. There would be no reason for their existence. Politicians are like children who think they run a household because they simply live in the home and the parents allow the child to dictate their own terms. But if the parent chose, they could clamp down on the child in a moments notice and eradicate the child’s illusions about their importance within the household.
Sadly many business owners find themselves pandering to the children of politics. They find themselves supporting school levies out of philanthropic pressure from social looters who attempt to bring meaning to their static lives around the metaphorical campfires of an economy. The business owner like the parent finds themselves giving in to the screams of the children of politics who squeal like babies at how big or small a sign is, or whether or not a blind man should command tax money for a cross walk so he can participate equally in society by slowing everyone else down to the level of the handicapped. The politician cries out for fairness the way a child cries for a box of candy by throwing a public fit putting the parent on the spot in a grocery store to create embarrassment until the parent yields shielding their face from onlookers. Politicians do the same type of thing threatening publicly through fines and fees that if a business owner does not play ball and pad their pockets they will embarrass the business owner till they yield.
Many of the business owners that George mentioned in his interview find themselves participating in countless community activities designed around philanthropy in order to appease the screaming children of politics like Cathy Stoker and Lee Wong from sending their goons working in the zoning commission after their businesses in an attempt to loot millions from their pockets. The message is that if Kyle Garth, co-owner of the Liberty Tax Service wishes to do business continuing to use employees to stand in front of his establishment dressed up like the Statue of Liberty, then he should take some of his profit and give it to “philanthropic” causes. He should have attended the dinner party at The Savannah Center in West Chester and mingled with the right people so that the politicians would take notice of his philanthropy and know that he had done what was socially expected of him. Then, and maybe then, the zoning commission might leave him alone to run his business, after the looters of sentiment had received the proper sacrifice from his earnings.
George Lang going on 700 WLW is no small miracle because he is tightly entwined in the kind of culture mentioned above, and because of what he said, there will be ramifications. Privately, business owners will thank him for sticking up for their livelihoods, but publically they will knock champagne glasses together and write large checks to appease the political looters so the goon squad of zoning does not come after them in an attempt at destroying them. But Lang is not a timid politician by nature. He was a successful businessman before becoming a politician, so he knows he can do other things besides politics and be successful, and thank goodness he did, because the interview on 700 WLW with Scott Sloan was a rare and sacred segment. Such a window behind the scenes of politics does not come often, and Lang should be thanked for having the courage to do so.
As for Liberty Tax Services, they may become one of the many businesses who leave West Chester because of the over restrictive zoning regulations, which it appears are the most aggressive in the country. For that bit of social engineering the silence from the other two trustees speaks volumes about their part in creating those policies that are directly responsible for ending the dreams and efforts of many businesses and the risk takers who dared to attempt an entrepreneurial concept. When a business can’t even advertise their company with an employee they are paying $8 an hours to do so, then there isn’t much hope for economic growth. The practice being employed against Liberty Tax Service is micromanaging of economic growth. It’s picking and choosing who succeeds and who fails not based on the strength of their business, but the amount of philanthropy that the business owner is willing to commit to. That in essence is why the zoning laws exist, not to keep the township free of clutter, but to ensure that the looters of politics maintain their ability to drain the pockets of the productive behind the façade of goodness.

Two things I noticed immediately from the film critics of Dark Knight Rises, and now of the upcoming Atlas Shrugged Part II, is that the media in general is belittling the kind of super energy power supply that is featured in those films. CLICK HERE FOR AN EXAMPLE. In Dark Knight Rises Bruce Wayne has funded essentially a thorium reactor that will power Gotham City with the cleanest and most powerful energy yet devised on earth. In Atlas Shrugged Part II John Galt has built a special engine that is capable of running off static electricity, literally pulling electrons out of the air much the way lightning forms in nature. Both technologies are based on scientific fact yet are presented in superhero films as a solution to the world’s energy, financial, and environmental impact issues surrounding sustainable power. There is a good reason for that belittlement–because anything that is not coal, solar, wind, oil, or any other established technology, is a threat to the financial roots those technologies have established in human culture.
Even the liberal press who leans in the direction of environmental concerns find the kind of energy supply shown in Dark Knight Rises and Atlas Shrugged as science fiction regulated to childhood fantasies. What they fail to disclose is that their opinions are formulated around the millions of dollars traditional power supply companies have spent on congressman, senators and lawyers through lobbyists to protect their monopolies. The media are victims of a protection racket propelled by the political establishment to cover for the money that lobbyists spent on legislators to shape public opinion. All the parties involved in the racket are committed to their own doomed futures with a foolish pursuit of the kind of power that is produced by traditional sources in order to protect the jobs, the flow of money, and the long-term contracts that have been set up by the emergence of electricity.
But, the concepts shown in Dark Knight Rises and Atlas Shrugged are not science fiction, but rather are science fact. Thorium in fact is a source of nuclear power that was developed as far back as the middle of the Twentieth Century and President Nixon was firmly committed to developing it as a way to inject a lot of life into the American economy. But politics got in the way and threw roadblocks up at every attempt. When Three Mile Island happened in America, and most recently Fukushima in Japan the media and political scallywags seized upon those tragedies to frighten a timid public away from nuclear energy—so to preserve the public need of dirty energy by which many millions of current jobs rely. No politician in their right mind would dare act against the job losses and union jobs of those working in the energy sectors of the American economy which would be threatened by the kind of change thorium reactors would bring to the energy industry. It would be equivalent to introducing email to the United States Post Office service. The result to traditional mail is that it’s going bankrupt because it simply can’t compete with email. Thus the same would be said of thorium reactors compared to coal-burning power plants or solar energy.
Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor technology is truly a revolution in clean energy production. Thorium is such a dense energy supply that a lifetime of energy use can be held in the palm of a hand. LFTR reactors are small and can consume nearly 100% of its fuel while current reactors only consume about 2% before the fuel becomes waste. LFTR’s process heat can turn coal and natural gas to methanol, and can be used to harvest shale oil. It can turn trash into synthetic gasoline and diesel fuel. LFTR’s can help cure cancer, provide true national energy independence, desalinate salt water and create countless jobs and national prosperity. The only thing that is preventing LFTR energy in America is over regulation of the nuclear industry created by the government in response to a panic addicted media all in the preservation of existing power sources protected by lobbyists.
Imagine being able to build a LFTR power plant in North Africa along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Not only could it produce enough power to take care of most of the northern countries, it could also turn sea water into drinkable service bringing irrigation canals to draught infested regions saving millions of lives and improving the lives of millions more. Because of LFTR technology no place on earth would have to go without water and no human being would have to die of thirst. It would enrich the lives of every human being on the planet.
There are many people in politics who do not wish to see American dependence on foreign oil go away, because they profit a great deal from that arrangement. They also do not wish to turn deserts green and feed the world, because then there would be no altruism from which they could act as middlemen of kindness. They do not wish to eliminate nuclear waste as LFTR does because then opposition to nuclear power by the public would be removed. They do not wish to turn trash into fuel, because then there would be no environmental danger to protest against, giving their fruitless lives less meaning. These types of people do not wish the world to be truly better. They wish to keep energy dependence alive and well because a dependent population tends to look toward a leader, and they fantasies to provide that leadership, even at the expense of other people’s freedom.
If America could rid itself of its fearful lobbyists and the politicians that eat from their hands stepping forward and embracing LFTR technology, the entire economy of The United States would change for the better. Such a decision would affect each and every citizen of America with new energy that is found in North America in great abundance that is clean, powerful, and clearly the next step for the human race. What is holding back our society from the millions of new jobs LFTR would create is a corrupt political system and a toothless media more committed to progressive politics than the kind of future LFTR could bring not just to America, but the world.
The misery of a failed economy, of world hunger, of people dying of cancer, of dirty energy and environmental hazards are self-inflicted because the potential of LFTR technology is available right now and has been for a number of years. But it has been concealed in order to protect the old way of doing business from the new way. What has happened is equivalent to the car companies at the turn of the century being prevented from emerging as a business because the makers of horse carriages lobbied congress to create laws to prevent the car companies from buying tires. The power of the energy lobby has been to protect how money was made yesterday, not in developing how it will be made tomorrow.
When film critics attempt to belittle an emerging technology it is not because they find it offensive, or silly. It is because it threatens the system they serve as a member of the accepted collective. They are acting as agents of attack against any threat to their primitive knowledge, because they wish to preserve the static intellectualism that they have built their lives around. When critics come out against the new Atlas Shrugged film it is not that the movie is bad, or the film narrative is poor. It is because they represent in real life what the fictional character of John Galt is attempting to warn the world about.
In the book Atlas Shrugged John Galt creates a society for those brave enough, and smart enough to comprehend it deep in the mountains of Colorado. He calls it Galt’s Gulch—otherwise known as Atlantis. It is a paradise on earth where he his friends flee the parasites of The United States resisting the inventions of the truly brilliant and creative. That society is made possible by John Galt’s miracle power generator, very similar to the LFTR technology discussed in this article. I have reported here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom many technological achievements that are being held up by an overly regulated nation such as cures for cancer, flying cars, and extraordinary botanical growth methods which point to a world of tomorrow what we could have today if not for the degrees of collectivism invented by Karl Marx which is behind almost every modern political action. It is because of Marxist subscription to social collectivism that wonderful technologies like Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor’s have been placed on the shelf to protect the infrastructure of yesterday and the jobs created by that faded dream. The pain and suffering our society is anguishing through now, the mindless war for absolutely no reason but to keep politicians in power and crony capitalism thriving through lobbyists is completely avoidable and senseless. It’s a self-imposed pain created by the masochists in love with Marxism—with huge government bureaucracy, and a political class drunk on tax payer funded power.
Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor technology is not being discussed in the mainstream news because it threatens the monopolies of the past. Even though every politician wishes to get elected on promises they make to fix the problems of our day, deep in their hearts they never want the problems to actually be solved. They crave environmental issues, unstable conditions in the Middle East, nuclear melt downs with radiation that kills thousands because it leaves society scrambling for a leader to save the day, which never comes. So long as there are problems in the world, the politician has a job to do, and Washington—along with every parasite who lives off the money flowing down K-Street strives to keep that system intact. LFTR technology actually solves many modern problems, and that is why it is being shoved under the carpet, and kept from the public’s eyes.
