Trey Gowdy’s Symposium: Establishing proper managment systems

 We always hear from radical left-winged protestors that “this is what democracy looks like” as they chant in mass over a particular issue—whether it is police shootings in Ferguson, union pensions, or that Breaking Bad is moving to a new night. But seldom do we get to see what proper government management looks like. So it was quite enjoyable to watch congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina apply proper management methods to the Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber. Gruber had been caught talking about how Obamacare was passed by a Democrat controlled congress and senate through deceitful means, so Gowdy had an obligation to apply some force to the matter in articulating the crime and mismanagement of taxpayer resources.

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2014/12/09/watch-trey-gowdy-verbally-pummel-obamacare-architect-jonathan-gruber-n1929573

Every city council meeting should look like the way Trey Gowdy conducted his interrogation of Gruber. Every school board meeting, every trustee meeting, every gathering of government managing of tax payer resources should look like Growdy in congress. It is not the job of politicians to be liked, it is not their job to pander and get along with a consensus—it is their job to manage—and that’s it.

Of course unpopular politicians tend not to get re-elected, so that is part of the problem for the typical attention seekers who desire public office. But they should at a bare minimum attempt to behave as Gowdy did in the hearings over Obamacare. Of course the current congress has no stomach for actual management—just tough talk—but it’s a start. The congress has an obligation to not fund Obamacare especially after the Gruber testimony. But such a position in modern Washington is considered radical and Republicans won’t walk into the touchy-feely trap that Democrats have set to snare them in the court of public opinion—so they won’t do anything “tough” with Obamacare except talk.

Without management of resources you get run away budgets—just like what is found at virtually every public school dominated by radical labor unions were overwhelmed school board members lay down to be run over by left-leaning radicals who advocated collective bargaining agreements without any management opposition to keep them in check. But on each one of those school boards should be people like Trey Gowdy to provide an equal opposition to the radical nut cases who declare large sums of money with no oversight but only tax increases every five years.

The goal of every government body should be to create surpluses with the same voracity that corporations seek profits. Money saved is money made so no government should look at a budget surplus and think of new ways to pass out money to potential voters. And any government that hires consultants, like public schools often do to find ways to deceive voters into higher taxes deserve to be grilled the way Jonathan Gruber was by Trey Gowdy. Gruber was paid millions of tax payer dollars for discovering a means to deceive them with Obamacare—and the people who made those decisions mismanaged the money under Gruber’s charge. The only way to prevent such abuse is with management of resources in the manner the Gowdy provided.

The sad condition of our modern times is that Gowdy is looked at as an exceptional case—and not the norm. By those who wish to perpetrate a con against the taxpayer, of course Gowdy is hated. He is paid as a congressman to be hated—not loved. If a manager of any kind is loved by everyone, they are not doing their jobs. So it is a compliment for a manager to be called names and to have quibbles said about them behind their backs or by organized masses seeking collective efforts. If such a thing occurs, the politician is doing their jobs.

Many felt pride at Trey Gowdy’s grilling of Gruber because they instinctively understand the value of the exchange. Gruber a once arrogant government despot was reduced to admitting that he had been an ostentatious fool seeking to take advantage of the system for his own ideological and financial gain. Gruber’s strategy was to throw himself on the sword, take his millions of looted tax payer dollars and go into hiding with his loot. He was willing to sacrifice the self-respect he had gained within progressive academic circles for the stolen wealth he had acquired during the Obamacare fraud. So he declared foolishness and took the beating.

But imagine that there wasn’t a beating for Gruber—where would there have been any justice? Gruber without Gowdy would have disappeared into the sunset a progressive hero wealthy and wise. At least now, because of Gowdy, Gruber is only wealthy off stolen money—at least he had to endure some punishment—even if it’s just verbal.

Not everyone is capable of management—but for those who are—management provides a hedge against the despots of looting inclination. Without management there is no protection from the forces seeking to attack value—that is why communism and socialism seeks to make management the villain in their philosophy. That is also why labor unions make management into villains—because they want open access to the wealth of a corporation so that they can exploit it for all the worth—just as Gruber did. So we cheer on Trey Gowdy for his management chastisement of Gruber because we wish it was more commonplace. Not to mention that the mass conspiracy conducted right out in the open as Democrats released the controversial CIA report against the Bush administration on the same day that Gruber was dissected by Gowdy—hoping to take the edge off the government deceit that is Obamacare—there is much more management that needs to be done on behalf of tax payer resources.

Government is filled with many more people like Jonathan Gruber. In fact, most of the Washington D.C. wealthy suburbs are filled with government looters just like him. Without people like Trey Gowdy there is no resistance to their bottomless needs of tax payer funded lifestyles. There is no management of revenue taken in by the federal government under force and the distribution of that vast wealth—but to surrender it to the diabolical menaces who make careers out of politics for the purpose of creating personal wealth in ways they could never do under any other means. Without management, there is nothing that stands in the way of crime and justice. At least when it comes to the words spoken by Gowdy—at least we know Gruber will lose something due to his corruption and arrogance. Not enough—but at least it’s something.

Politics Standing in the way of Regenerative Medicine: The difference between life and death

 A few years ago I wrote about the art of regenerative medicine, CLICK HERE TO REVIEW. At that time much of the technology was fairly new and the information leaned more toward the education speculation side of debate as opposed to confirmed fact. Now—it is a reality and the only thing preventing people from the benefits of regenerative medicine is politics and the drug companies. We have officially reached the point where politicians will have to step out of bed with traditional drug companies and the business models of the pharmaceuticals will have to change—or they will go out of business. There is no reason why a human body has to wear out and die. It is cells that make up a body and like a car that is kept alive with new parts—it is now possible to make new parts for a human body so that it can continue operating for many years. Below are a few videos talking about this phenomenal new breakthrough along with an article from Ted Talks which dives deeper into the evolving science.   It is an exciting time, but one which requires new ways of thinking and politics being so far behind the curve of thought that it typically is—is not capable of taking a leading hand on this issue—especially since pharmaceuticals enrich them with great wealth. The cure to many diseases is right in front of us—so please use this article as your gateway into an understanding that will take you to the other side where everyone’s life will become greatly enhanced.

Will the next generation think about diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes the way we think about polio and the whooping cough? Susan Solomon, the co-founder of the New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF), certainly hopes so. In this fascinating talk from TEDGlobal 2012, Solomon delves into the foundation’s work on research with stem cells, which she calls the “black boxes for diseases.”

“[Stem cells] are our bodies’ own repair kits. They are pluripotent, which means they can morph into all of the cells in our bodies,” says Solomon. “Right now there are some really extraordinary things that we are doing with stem cells that are completely changing the way we model disease, our ability to understand why we get sick and even develop drugs. But … this field has been under siege, politically and financially.”

While much of the fray is about embryonic stem cells — still the gold standard when it comes to cells — Solomon explains that another type of pluripotent stem cell (called iPS cells) can now be created by, essentially, reprogramming skin cells. These cells hold great promise for allowing researchers to see how diseases develop in humans, rather than in rodents.

Currently, developing a drug takes an average of 13 years, costs $4 billion, and has a 99% failure rate. And because it’s impossible to test a new drug on a large and representative sample of the human population, even a drug that tests well with many people will have side-effects for others, based on their genetic makeup. This is a problem that’s sometimes not apparent until the drug is on the market and being prescribed to patients — like in the tragic case of Vioxx.

But Solomon stressed that it will be extremely difficult to change the current systems of drug development.

“All the established companies have been using mouse-and-rodent testing forever,” she said. “A lot of people’s careers are staked to a method that is outdated. It’s like the tech sector; this is really the high-tech sector for biomedical research.”

To hear more about the NYSCF, watch Solomon’s talk. Below, watch 9 more talks about the incredible promise of stem cells.

In addition to politics and the lobby power of the pharmaceuticals, religion is another part of our society that will require revision just to deal with the implication of regenerative science. It will be very difficult for average people of average means to grapple with the prospect that their lives are not defined by bench marks of age any longer centered on a growth period from their youth to a slow decline back into old age. It is no longer necessary to think of getting old—it will become a reality very soon to just make a new body part and replace whatever is broken—or diminishing with a healthy replacement.

So what does this do to a society dedicated to living death so that they might live again in the afterlife? That is the paramount restriction to regenerative science. Most people use religion as a crutch to explain away the misery of living without proper answers and philosophy and look to the yonder shores of immortality and God’s infinite wisdom for an answer they never take responsibility for obtaining on their own. Regenerative science takes that tendency and places it within the power of science on earth and God moves from some external force out in the heavens and places it within the context of the human being.

Jesus said that the kingdom of God is all around us, yet men do not see it. He was right—it is, and only a few human beings understand such a concept. Scientists are some of them—especially in the regenerative science fields. But for the politician and the CEO’s of drug companies knowing that millions of jobs are at stake if death and sickness are taken out of the field of health care—doom is on the horizon for those people and they have no philosophy or religion to help them deal with the change. It is because of them that we do not yet have full access and funding into regenerative health—they purposely want to maintain the cycle of death so to keep alive their empires built on suffering.

Much suffering upon the earth is due to ignorance, and regenerative science requires intelligence—which is lacking currently. Politicians are stuck on a fifty year quest to bring health care to the poor when they should be focused on ending Medicare, Obamacare, and the health care system all together with regenerative science. Because of their lack of vision, politicians are committed to a bankrupting system of maintaining the Social Security system when it is possible that the average 75-year-old could maintain their bodies into the health of a 40 to 50-year-old and could continue working and being productive for another 50 to 100 years—perhaps longer.

It’s not the science that is the problem; it’s the people who have to refocus their intellectual energy on a change in thought that will rattle them to their cores. Good scientists like the fine people shown above have already delivered mankind to the precipice of life-changing benefits. The pharmaceutical companies are now as archaic as elixir medicines soaked in whisky were during westward expansion in the United States. They are no longer relevant. And this knowledge won’t be going away—too many of us know about it now. All that we have to do is wait for everyone to realize that heaven is on earth and is all about them—and that we are the masters of our own fate destined to reside out in the outer reaches of our galaxy for a human race just hatching from the dark embryo of ignorance fermenting over the last few million years. We have finally hatched.

The Mound Laboratories Conspiracy: Federal destruction of America’s hidden history

“The best way to discover a conspiracy is by what is avoided in discussion, not necessarily in what is said.”

-Rich Hoffman

I have always been proud of my home in southern Ohio. When my friends in the progressive regions of Los Angeles and New York refer to Ohio as a flyover state of little importance, they are not aware of the vast history of my town. As a kid growing up during the Cold War I had a lot of pride in knowing that Russians had warheads pointed at the GE plant near my home, the Voice of America complex, near my home, the Wright Patterson Airforce Base right near my home, and most of all the Mound Laboratories in Miamisburg, Ohio. All these targets were prime military objectives and I was growing up smack dab in the middle of them all. It was very exciting to know that my home area incited such rage from foreign aggressors.

Ohio is also the home of a lost race of people who easily predated the Adena and Hopewell Indians. The proof of that lost race is in the many mounds built around Ohio, particularly at the giant conical mound in Miamisburg where within it contains several skeletons waiting official discovery. The date and race of those people will destroy previous misconceptions of our understanding of America and the people who were here before European settlers. The Adena and Hopewell Indians in relation to this lost race of highly technical beings are similar to present day Middletown, Franklin and Miamisburg. All those communities contain “has been” residents compared to what used to be as the innovators who founded the towns.  The economic powers left for loftier summits leaving behind second-handers to create a gradually declining society on their way to extinction. What gets left behind is a disproportionate population of un-intellectual and unmotivated residents who simply live off the ruins of previous prosperity.  This is what the Adena and Hopewell Indians were to the previous mentioned race.

Yet young archaeology at the turn of the twentieth century desired to publish some finds quickly and build up the esteem of their universities—backed by federal grants and government interest. So they put out an infantile summation of American prehistory and have insisted since to maintain that orthodox record even as mountains of contrary evidence has poured forth. In Miamisburg, that was difficult because as Dayton was expanding and Miamisburg was developing, farmers and construction hands were uncovering the giant bones of this previous race of people, predating the Adena by quite a lot and showing signs of a culture much, much more advanced than the hunter and gathers typically associated with mound building by conventional archaeology.

In the late 1940s Dayton was ground zero to many conspiracies as the Roswell UFO crash site was reportedly moved from Area 51 to Wright Pat for research spawning a wave of strange UFO sightings all over the area either from military development or ultraterrestrial influence. But even more conspicuous was the decision to build the neutron generating triggers for the first plutonium bombs just to the southeast in Miamisburg—and that the government would confiscate massive amounts of land that was technically an archaeological haven to build a highly technical nuclear weapons facility.

I didn’t think of the proximity of this problem until I visited the Miamisburg Mound site and noticed directly across the street the Mound Advanced Technology Center. Standing on a site that should be revered as a protected zone—with Smithsonian proof that giant eight foot skeletons had been discovered literally right at those spots were the Technology Center was built the federal government decided to build a facility they knew would produce much radioactive waste and tie up the land for generations with inactivity not related to the government. They called it, Mound Laboratories.

Mound Laboratories in Miamisburg, Ohio was an Atomic Energy Commission (later Department of Energy) facility for Nuclear weapon research during the Cold War.

The laboratory grew out of the World War II era Dayton Project (a site within the Manhattan Project) where the neutron generating triggers for the first plutonium bombs were developed.

Post-war construction of a permanent site for Dayton Project activities began in 1947. The lab was originally known as the Dayton Engineer Works. The lab began operations in 1948 and was managed by Monsanto. Mound produced detonators, cable assemblies, timers, firing sets, and other equipment. In 1954 Mound began working with Tritium. The lab disassembled bomb components, recovering the Tritium within and sending it for repurification at Savannah River Site. Mound supplied enriched non-radioactive isotopes. The lab also produced plutonium-238-powered thermoelectric heat sources called SNAP or Systems for Nuclear Auxiliary Power for the U.S. space program.

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

All that is very big stuff and it was being conducted in little ol’ Miamisburg—a town most people just drive by and forget about. I live on the Great Miami River so this Mound Laboratories was up the road from my home—literally. With all the hoopla involved in Cold War secrecy, the government for many years was successful in staving off any real attempts at archaeology in and around their nuclear research facility—and they were justified. I personally never questioned their decision to build that facility in that particular region until I visited the mound and discovered that major finds pointing to an ancient lost race of people had been discovered in that specific region all during the 1700s to 1800s, as settlers moved into the area. Out of all the locations in America that would have sufficed to serve as a nuclear research facility—why did the federal government pick that exact spot—right across the street from the Miamisburg Mound? Anybody……………………………………………………………….?

For years there has been a conspiracy theory about secret tunnels extending from the advanced testing labs in Miamisburg to the secret hangers at Wright Pat holding traces of a wrecked alien space craft and the bodies that came out of them. But that was never the real secret. That was just the bait tossed into the water to throw everyone off the real trail of what was really behind the Mound Laboratories construction in the first place.

The evidence is abundantly clear that the federal government in support of the previous assertions and justifications for the history portrayed by most museums and government backed science knew that the Miamisburg Mound held a key to unlocking the secrets of an undocumented race of people predating all known Indian tribes. That the evidence was strewn all about the shores of the Great Miami River in the exact spot that the Mound Laboratories was built, and if the government did not take the land, then the expanding town of Miamisburg would have discovered the secrets during the encroaching construction. By 2010 when the site had officially been cleaned up of radioactive material swept up with all the waste was the archaeological evidence of that race. The federal government broke its own Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act with a massive destruction of archaeological evidence pointing to this lost race. But it wasn’t all destroyed. The government couldn’t very well bulldoze over the mound itself—after all they had named their facility after it—and people knew it was there—its hard to miss. So they made a little memorial—built a playground and invited the public to come and wonder about the strange Adena people who built it—who were only around 5’ 6” in height. Never was there a mention that on the same golf course now built next to the mound was the bones of an 8’ 1” human skeleton predating the Adena by quite a lot. All further evidence from the mound down to the river have long since been destroyed and consumed by the Mound Laboratories complex built to defend the nation during a Cold War crisis. The facility was ultimately created for another reason—to further conceal and destroy the known past of an alternative history—one that does not fit the current government dialogue and justification for written and oral history.

The government has actively covered up this evidence of a lost ancient race. They could have built the Mound Laboratories anywhere, but they chose that particular spot for obvious reasons. And as they allowed for the conspiracy theories of Hanger 18 to dwell in the imaginations of the masses who gazed at Wright Pat through the chain link fences wondering how quickly they might be shot if they attempted to get close enough for a verification look—the real secret is in what nobody talked about. The Miamisburg Mound still has many bones in it which an excavation would prove my assertions here true. I have dealt with government knuckle-draggers all of my life and am so sure of this accusation that I’d bet all my possessions on it—because the evidence is within that giant mound. All the other evidence has been purposely destroyed—but the mound still remains. All we have to do is begin to excavate the site to confirm all that has been said here—as a fact.

Giants Discoverd in Miamisburg, Ohio: Ross Hamilton’s report on American prehistory

I was more than just a little surprised to find in Ross Hamilton’s very good academic paper, A Tradition of Giants: The Elite Social Hierarchy of American Prehistory that literally in my back yard at the Miamisburg Mound two full skeletons of an ancient race of people standing over 8’ tall was found. I’ve known about the mound for quite a long time, but didn’t think much of it, as I live in the land of mounds. By default, Fort Ancient and Serpent Mound have drawn most of my attention. Even in conventional archaeology book descriptions Miamisburg Mound is not given much fanfare as a relevant archaeological/anthropological memorial. I have done articles about American giants before, largely for fun, but the more research done into this strange phenomena the more obvious there is of a government cover-up on a massive scale and the evidence is legitimately right in America’s back yard in Miamisburg, just a few miles north-east of the Dayton Mall.

imagehttp://www.academia.edu/4693378/A_TRADITION_OF_GIANTS_The_Elite_Social_Hierarchy_of_American_Prehistory

Reading through Hamilton’s paper linked above two entries caught my attention in a big way as stated:

The body of a man more gigantic than any ever recorded in human history has been found in the Miami Valley in Ohio. The skeleton, it is calculated, must have belonged to a man 8’ feet 1 ½” inches in height. It was found within a half mile of Miamisburg in a location which contains many relics of the mound builders. Edward Gebhart and Edward Kauffman discovered it while they were working in a gravel pit…The bones have been placed on exhibition and many are the curious sight seers who have passed in wonder before them…Prof. Thomas Wilson, curator of prehistoric Anthropology, Smithsonian Institute, says of the find: “The authenticity of this skull is beyond any doubt. Its antiquity is unquestionably great though it is impossible to have a good guess as to its age. To my own personal knowledge several such crania were discovered in the Hopewell group of mounds in Ohio.

 

Reading that description it would place the discovery of that skeleton west of the Great Miami River across from the large park that sits between Chautauqua and Miamisburg. The other description was even more jolting. It is as follows:

 

“A pioneer relates that whilst powering in a field adjoining it [the Miamisburg Mound attributed to Adena], he discovered a grave of extraordinary size, which proved by actual measurement to be not less than ten feet in length. Upon one occasion, after a heavy storm had swept over the vicinity, a massive oak tree was up-rooted and from its bed came up a gigantic skeleton complete. Owing to some neglect, however, it was not preserved.”

 

A visit to the mound site will show that on two sides of the mound north and south are ripe areas for the discovery of that giant skeleton. To the south is a neighborhood, to the north it is now a golf course. Looking at the mound it is obvious that one of the goals was to place the burial elements within it at an elevation superior to the surrounding countryside—particualrly to the west where the setting sun dips over the horizon each evening. The point of the mound is at 981 elevation where the high spots across the river to the west peak out at 900 feet. Only to the east near where the I-75 corridor passes through does the elevation increase to 1000. The mound architects were artificially attempting to raise the level of that particular hill-top to surpass the surrounding countryside. Excavation at the mound has been limited and ridiculously reckless. For such a site only a preliminary attempt at understanding was made in 1869 which discovered a skeleton 8 feet from the top which was approximately 68 feet in original height. Then digging down another 36 feet another burial vault was found. Without question, another 30 feet of exploration at any point around the 877 foot circumference would likely produce more skeletons and a much better understanding of what type of civilization lived and constructed such a magnificent human endeavor as the Miamisburg Mound.

 image

It is not enough to stick a plaque in front of the mound memorial site and say that Adena Indians built the site then died off or were pushed out of the area by Indian relocation methods. There is much excavation that needs to be done at the Miamisburg Mound site and there is simply no excuse not to. Nearby University of Dayton could fund such a dig with the proceeds of one Dayton Flyers basketball game, yet nobody even steps forward to try………….why? It’s not like the site in is the Middle East and too difficult to obtain permits from the volatile governments there. It’s not like it would cost a whole summer of travel to a far away land to spend in time and money. This site is within a few miles of the Greene Shopping complex. A dig at the Miamisburg Mound site would be luxurious for any anthropologist, and fairly cheap. So why isn’t it being done? I’ll get into that more with another article that is much more sinister. But for now, I will make this proclamation that I’m absolutely sure many other people know—there is proof of a race of giants under the Miamisburg Mound. Two of the largest skeletons of human beings ever found anywhere in the world have been discovered in the Miamisburg area and a gigantic burial mound shining on a hilltop like a beacon of invitation has not been even remotely explored by modern excavation methods because science already knows what they’ll find there.

When I visited the site over the first full weekend of December 2014 a used condom greeted my boots when I stepped out of my car. I didn’t step on the disgusting relic of some primitive sexual conquest performed in a park devoid of any real interest. As I looked around, the park had built a nice playground and some picnic areas, but had utterly failed to conduct a proper examination of the mound site for nearly 150 years—which is just inexcusable.

So until science can prove otherwise, based on the written and oral traditions of the Miamisburg area—before the government swept in and claimed the area mysteriously for nuclear research—giants were discovered in the area of a previously undocumented race that had technical ability not associated with any known Indian culture. The evidence is likely just a few feet from the playgrounds, the picnic area and the used condom that was in the parking lot during my visit. Just a short shovel depth into the mound likely would prove the assertions of Ross Hamilton’s academic paper. Likely, because the bones are in the Smithsonian log, the government knows what to expect in any excavation attempt into the Miamisburg Mound, and they really don’t want that information getting out. The reason will be the subject of my next article—but for now the evidence of a giant race of people is right in our back yards. All it would take to officially discover them is for us to do a little digging and prepare ourselves for the astonishing truth about our ancient past in America.

Breaking Children Early: Kindergarten sex education in government schools

 This notion of teaching kindergarten students about sex education is one of the most ridiculous—yet revealing utterances of the true intentions of the typical progressive—the destruction of family structure to be replaced by collective ownership of all people by the state. Nothing achieves such a task more expediently but destroying the minds of young people at the summit of their learning ability with the animal instincts of sex before their biological minds are even inclined toward curiosity. Nothing anchors their lofty minds more firmly to the ground than the knowledge of sexual function and the small amounts of pleasure derived from physical interaction. Nothing destroys the imagination more than the pursuit of breasts and penises for the didactic satisfaction of reproductive rituals only put in place to further the biological necessity of the human race. The states under federal control have shown their cards—and they are as I have told you for many years dear reader—intent upon the destruction of individual thought as early as possible in government schools with the goal of facilitation into collective based mentality. For those who don’t believe me, this issue has been brewing for quite some time. Here is a 2013 article about the matter in the Chicago school system:

Some people may think a five-year old is too young for sex education.

Administrators with Chicago Public schools do not.

New to the curriculum this year, mandatory sexual and health education for kindergarten classes.

CBS 2’s Dorothy Tucker took at look at the lesson the little ones will be learning.

Like every other kindergartener, Angelina Yang is learning reading, writing, arithmetic–and now sexual health education.

“I want to know what kind of education she is receiving before she gets that education,” said Angelia’s mom, Stella. ‘As a parent, I have a right to know.”

CPS insists the curriculum will use language children understand and focus on topics like bullying, correct names for external body parts and the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching.

“As you identify body parts, you talk about should you be touched here or not.,” said Stephanie Whyte, the CPS Chief Health Officer. “And if someone touches you, and it’s uncomfortable, you should tell a trusted adult.”

 

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/danieldoherty/2013/08/30/chicago-we-need-to-teach-sex-ed-to-kindergarteners-n1687603

 

The psychological intent of this exercise is to capitalize on the clueless parents who are too busy to notice and at that particular stage of their children’s lives—to immature themselves to understand the gravity of this assault—and to rob innocent children of their tendency to think for themselves. The schools hope to get children thinking about others as early as possible. Nothing helps the old communist goals behind progressivism more than all depleted notions of individuality and personal possession than to begin thinking about sex with other people and multiple partners before the notion of personal possession becomes too strong. When other human beings break bread together and share bodies, they lower their barriers to other collective based ideals which was always the intent—and government schools are making their move to begin this process the moment they get their grubby hands on the innocent minds of 5-year-olds.

 

I warned of this several years ago and many thought that my utterances were rooted in conspiracy. The proof now is that it never was. It is clear to me the strategy. My track record on calling out matters such as this with an immaculate reputation for accuracy gives me liberty to make these pronouncements—as controversial as they may seem. I might as well name the real evil behind the act so that history will confirm it 100% in hindsight. Hopefully it might save one or two children from the clutches of these vile government schools. There is nothing more precious than a young mind because it is uncorrupted with poor human philosophy and social pressure. Young people especially at age 5 have not yet had chains placed upon their minds other than what bad parenting has placed there. They have entered the world free and open to the limits of their imaginations. It is when they begin public school that they are gradually whittled away and shaped into a social organism designed by the state and its government interpretation of value—which is to create a servant to the needs of the collective entity.

When a typical government worker is studied—take for instance Lois Lerner you can look into that face and see the child that was destroyed. Even from pictures you can see the loss removed from her face to the soul connected just within her essence. She’s not alone, but is one of the most high-profile examples. When such people are dealt with in real life they are even worse—they are distant and removed from their humanity because every cell in their bodies has been lured into the trap of collective enterprise judged in value by group consensus. Years of government education has destroyed their very souls starting with their imaginations. The government understands what its doing—a thinking person cannot be a mindless servant to a collective enterprise, so they seek through their education system to destroy thought as early as possible.

 

I have told the story of how much trouble my wife and I found ourselves in when we refused to allow our children to receive sex education classes in the fourth grade during the 90s. But perhaps it is time to go into a bit more detail as a relevant experience in relation to this latest proposal. We of course did not sign the permission slip when it was sent home from a Mason school teacher and that refusal was met with harsh violence. My wife was no longer permitted into the school as a room mom and assistant to the teachers. She was chastised by the administrators and the local police catching wind of our rebellion began to harass us. Drugs were openly encouraged by the police to be sold in front of our home so to assault our “puritan” interests. How do I know it was intentional—well a cop from Hamilton who of course associated with the Mason cops lived two houses down from us and his children told me what his father talked about regarding us from behind his closed up home. The children of that Hamilton cop enjoyed my bullwhip work and used to come to our house to play. Of course I met the drug dealing with a force nobody was prepared to deal with. When the kids egged my house with a few warning shots in revenge, I plastered their home with dozens and dozens of eggs the very next evening daring the police to arrive—and hoping that they would call for help which they never did. The cop next door knew what was going on, but was powerless to do anything about it because they were all involved in the drug trade and if they arrested me, they knew what I’d say to the media—so they just took the plastering of their home with eggs and let the rain wash away the evidence a few nights later. Even years after the egg shells ruptured were still seen on that front yard after several grass cuts and summers to bury the evidence. It was quite extensive. I didn’t get egged again.

Things declined to such a level that my wife and I eventually sold our home and moved. The firefighters having nothing to do during the day followed my wife around at the grocery and caused havoc on her privacy. So we bought a home that was more remote and not connected to other people the way neighborhoods are—where it would be easer to figure out who was where and what they were doing. My experiences with that one event has inspired a lot of written material from me and I will never forget the level of betrayal that I felt upon learning how everything was connected in our small community of Mason, Ohio through labor unions and the presumption that a collective body of school administrators knew what was best for my kids and sought to punish my wife and I with complete castigation and harassment because we refused to submit to their authority. My wife began homeschooling our children at that point and I attribute that effort to this very day to why my children grew up to become such exceptional people of immense value. They were not broken in the public schools because my wife and I did our jobs as parents and put a stop to it.

 

So I know a thing or two about the forces at work and what their intentions are—probably better than they know about their own actions. The cop who was our neighbor, he was too stupid to think for himself. He didn’t know why he didn’t like us, he only knew that in the union halls we were being called prunes and religious fanatics who wanted to raise our children like the Amish and we needed to be taught a lesson so to save our children from our overly conservative fetish. I know that because one very guilty Mason cop later told me so after I left the mayor’s office with evidence of the drug trafficking that the police were involved in. He felt guilty and spilled the beans. But of course the case went nowhere because the judges were in on the scam too—even if they privately sympathized; they publicly wouldn’t say so—because they had been disseminated as individuals into the collective whole of a corrupt society. How did all that start, just because my wife and I refused to sign a permission slip for the fourth grade sex education class. We felt our children were too young at the time and we were right.

Our home became an oasis over the years for dozens of little girls who tried desperately to hold on to their innocence. In our home they were free of any sexual thoughts and contemporary music because we didn’t participate in that type of thing. They were free to unload their imaginations in any boundless way they contemplated and they were happy. But over the years only my kids really survived because their friends parents encouraged those friends to assimilate with the rest of society. Soon thereafter they began to experiment with intoxication in college and sex with great abundance.   Now many of them in their mid-twenties are sadly used up husks of flesh abused and pillaged by valueless men—taught from their innocent childhoods to pursue boobies and butts so to get approval from their peers—and it all started in government schools with poorly timed sex education training.

My viewpoints might sound extreme to the contemporary mind, but I don’t really give a rat’s ass. Obviously my wife and I have never yielded to social pressure of any kind and we never will. We only get more resolute with our old age not less. I can’t imagine the intolerance we will have ten years from now—but it for sure will be much more severe than what I’ve written here because we have a history to confirm our suspicions—we have lived it and seen it first hand. The intentions of sex education in kindergarten is to destroy children’s minds, not to help them in any way. It is only proposed to break them down as individuals so they can be rebuilt into unquestioning adults who take without question the government line of dialogue shoved down their throats with the lure of sex to appease their appetites. Even the proposal of such a thing by any school administrator deserves the sharpest ridicule from those of us who still have a mind to question the presented reality. The best thing to do for any parent who really cares for their children and want to bring them success as adults is to immediately take them away from those public schools—those palaces of mental destruction and ignite their imaginations with thoughts that will last a life time and provide them freedom from the dire thoughts of a limited perspective taught by progressive institutions and diabolical social menaces.

 

Obviously this topic is one that I feel great passion for. It’s been twenty years since my experiences and if I had not run out of eggs that night I’d probably still be throwing them at that drug dealer’s house backed by the local police department.   Not everyone would understand why there is so much anger at this topic, because they don’t understand what it means to be an unbroken human being. Kindergarten sex education means that children are broken by their state masters earlier than later robbing them of even a few precious years of intellectual freedom—and that is a serious contemporary tragedy.

Communism is Alive in America: Matt Clark and Rich Hoffman discuss how on WAAM radio

I talk about communism a lot because its influence has migrated deeply into our modern culture. Many, especially on the political left, hope to deny this issue by proclaiming that communism died in 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. They wish to believe that it was a relic of the Cold War and that the word “communism” is no longer a threat to capitalism or the economic power of the United States. Yet as Matt Clark and I stated during a radio segment for his WAAM broadcast in Ann Arbor, Michigan communism is alive and well in 2014. The communist country of China just surpassed America in economic output. The International Monetary Fund recently released the latest numbers for the world economy, and when you measure national economic output in “real” terms of goods and services, China will this year produce $17.6 trillion — compared to $17.4 trillion for the U.S.A. As recently as 2000, America produced nearly three times as much economic output as the Chinese. China now accounts for 16.5% of the global economy when measured in real purchasing power terms, compared to 16.3% for the U.S. How did this happen? Well, to put it mildly—communism—the kind of communism that Matt and I speak about in the following video recorded radio segments. 

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/money/it%e2%80%99s-official-america-is-now-no-2/ar-BBgjXGo

It’s not that the United States doesn’t still have economic power—but much of that power has been purposely suppressed by left-leaning political groups dedicated to the original goals of communism. Also this past week as those economic figures were being released, America passed the $18 trillion mark in national debt—much of those holdings owned by the Chinese. Mismanagement largely a passive-aggressive approach to American capitalism by leftist radicals has created this situation and it has occurred because many in opposition to communism failed to see the insurgency due to their various name changes that have occurred to disguise the advancement of communism throughout the world.

Communism is behind many of the Islamic radicals so popular today—especially the Muslim Brotherhood. Communism is widely at work in many minority neighborhoods—such as has been witnessed in the Ferguson riots. Communism is certainly at work in most public schools. It’s involved in labor unions of every kind including the beloved firefighter’s “international brotherhood.” Anywhere where the key terms of “workers” or “labor” are discussed in a way that makes them sound repressed—the philosophy of communism is at work as it was constructed by Karl Marx in The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital. Whenever the term “middle class” is invoked to stir them about in hopes of revolution—the strategies of communism are at work as they have always been. The only difference is that the names have been changed from communism to progressivism, liberalism or more broadly the Democratic Party. There is no other way to slice it—communism is what it is—it is the collective ownership of property such as private parks, education such as the property tax system we see today with public schools where every member of the community pays for all kids and all kids are beholden—at least in theory—to every member of the community. Communism is Social Security, it’s Obamacare, it’s Medicare. In the current state those conditions they might be best referenced as socialism, but the intent of all those services is to collect wealth from individuals to turn over to the “state” for distribution each according to their need. If a lazy, socially reckless, despot has a need to be given food and shelter because they are too ill prepared in life to take care of themselves, someone who is able is supposed to sustain the sustenance of that lazy individual. The by-product is that people stop producing because they get tired of seeing their efforts confiscated and given to those who don’t even put forth the effort. In today’s public schools the children are the “community’s children” and that ownership is best celebrated by popular Friday night football games where communism as articulated by Marx is very much alive in support of team sports designed to mask the real psychological motive behind a political philosophy rooted in social collectivism—collective ownership of all property—including children.

Likely most people reading this are practicing communists—yet they don’t want to believe that they are participating in such a diabolical scheme. But it’s difficult to stand on one’s own as an individual contributor—communism is much more appealing to the weak at heart and mind. So they changed the names and called anybody who referred to the old name of communism as a tin-hat conspiracy theorist hoping that the diffusion of proper terminology might garner them a few hidden years of concealment into the warm blanket of social safety. It is easy to hide in numbers and what we have going on in America today are a lot of people hiding.

Then quite literally, communist insurgents disguised as progressives, Democrats and earth worshipers have lobbied more regulation against American business to strangle the effect that capitalism has on a free society. It’s not that China is out producing America it is that the United States has been held back so to allow communism to appear to flourish. All the while those same liberal sympathizers have placed America at the feet of China with an impossible debt to recover from in many American lifetimes. Even if America could pay back the debt, the regulations provided by the EPA, FCC, IRS, DOL and the DOJ would destroy the kind of economic activity that would allow for a resurgence of American enterprise so that the $18 trillion could be paid back. There is no intention of paying back that money as it has been spent recklessly on purpose to destroy capitalism and point the ignorant masses toward the great success that is modern—communist—China.

Communism was created in Europe so to pull the governments of that continent under one government rule—and that is still very much the intention. But first they must destroy capitalism wherever it resides. America was a difficult problem for them because it would be hard to convince young people to migrate into communism when capitalism gave them so many wonderful toys to play with—so they had to change their names and apply an indirect approach—which they have through the public education system. This is why so many young people these days lean-to the political left—is because they were taught to by their public schools led by teacher unions radicalized by the old communist talking points to behave that way.

There is absolutely no question that communism is as big of a threat now in 2014 as it was in 1960. It is probably more dangerous now than it was because it has been allowed to function without the proper identification. It has been successfully repackaged by the political left with softer names that are more appealing to the unknowing. Yet for the truth all one need to do is read the work of Karl Marx and the truth will be told. It is communism that is destroying America and it is the masses of Americans raised to be ignorant—and complacent who are helping them do it.

There should be some credit given to Matt for even putting that type of information on the air. It is not a popular thing to do, yet he does it because he knows what’s at stake. If America doesn’t figure out what kind of scam is being placed upon it by forces outside of the country—then the economic situation for the freest country on earth will take a downward spin quickly. Many would argue that it’s already too late. And when that happens people like Matt and I aren’t going to feel the guilt of not telling everyone that we told you so—because we did.

Kristin Bell Begging for Tuppence: The falsehood of a living wage

It was nearly unbearable to watch all the idiots crying in front of Wal-Mart on Black Friday 2014 protesting in favor of a “living wage.” The radical concept of inconveniencing shoppers trying to impose an unrealistic minimum wage reminded me of the absolutely preposterous video done by Kristin Bell from Funny or Die mimicking Marry Poppins. In a parody the Disney character (played by Kristin Bell) she quits her job because the Banks family won’t pay her more money. According to Bell’s character she is struggling to make ends meet at $7.25, the federal minimum wage, pleading for a $3 raise. Bell, who is a young talented kid ignorant about basic economic concepts, has swallowed the socialist notion of a minimum wage without any critical thinking espousing the same stupidity as the Wal-Mart protestors who are attacking the shopping giant with a contentious desire to unionize those employees.

http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/25/news/economy/mary-poppins-minimum-wage/index.html

Rightly, Reason Magazine answered Bell’s video with a Mary Poppins satire of their own against the federal increase of minimum wage laws. The unintended consequence of increases in minimum wage is that the money has to come from someplace—business owners are in the business to make money, and wage increases cut into their profit margins—which determine whether or nor they wish to involve themselves in the risky business of operating a money-making enterprise. If employees become too troublesome and desire more money than they are worth—a smart business owner to maintain their interest in a business must replace those employees with something more reliable—like a machine.

Already in manufacturing 3D printing is threatening to remove many delicate manufacturing jobs that would have before been done with a punch press or plastic injection machine. Even fast food restaurants are nearing a phase where they could be almost completely automated. The only reason they presently aren’t is because wage labor is still cheaper. But at a $15 dollar rate—nobody will bother—they’ll just buy the machines and cut the cry baby employees. Machines don’t unionize and they do what you tell them to—and they don’t have unrealistic expectations regarding personal value.

Ironically Bell in her video complains that Social Security and other taxes are removed from her check before she sees much of the money and this is why she needs more money—well—welcome to the club. Anybody who works sees this theft of their weekly paychecks with a wealth redistribution scam that favors the lazy and unmotivated. But it was the same progressives who are behind this minimum wage increase who voted for all those stupid “society” projects like Medicare, Socialist Security, and a progressive tax system. Now they want more money on their weekly paychecks to pay for the stupid things they voted for which is utterly ridiculous. It was progressive mismanagement which caused this issue of depleted personal revenue.

The protestors who want to shut down Wal-Mart are utter idiots because if they eventually are successful society will lose the stand-alone stores that are quite a community asset for those who have them. People won’t rush out to a store with a bunch of radical union protestors to buy their cloths and milk. If it becomes too much of a pain in the ass, they’ll just order what they need online and have it delivered to their house. Twice over the Thanksgiving holiday recently I sat in the comfort of my chair at home next to a roaring fire—sipping on a Mello Yello, watching football, and ordered items from my iPad. Two days later those items arrived on my front porch. All I had to do was open my door to retrieve them—that is my concept of shopping. Occasionally my wife drags me to Wal-Mart which has value because I don’t have to wait for the shipping of the item—as Wal-Mart has already done that part for me. That is what the brick and mortar store offers—immediate gratification. But if that experience isn’t gratifying—and cheap—people will reject it.

Consider when we go to the bank these days to get money—so we can go shopping. I used to hate going through the window talking to a person who sometimes gave me back the wrong amount of money. I much prefer the ATM because in 20 years of using them, they have never miscounted my money and are dependable every time—the average transaction time is 4 minutes—then I’m off onto something I would rather be doing. Progressives would argue that what we are losing is the human contact which makes us all sensitive to each other’s needs. But that squishy sentiment isn’t often the reality. Unless the person working with you is pleasant—I’d rather deal with a machine. For instance, going to the license bureau is always unpleasant. There you have a bunch of unhappy government workers who know you can’t go anyplace else—and that you have to do what they say. So they take their time, are often cranky, and have no fear of competition. If the minimum wage activists get their way with Wal-Mart and McDonald’s what we will end up with is a bunch of grumpy nags bitching about everything asked of them—and nobody wants that.

Just the other day my wife and I were going through the McDonald’s drive thru picking up some McRibs and the people working the window were nice on both the money end and the push-out window. It was actually a pleasant experience to receive my food from a real human being and it made me want to order again a few hours later, so my wife and I went back up for dinner to get more food. But that’s not always the case—sometimes people who you know don’t want to be there are at the window and you can’t wait to get your food and be off and away from them. They are the kind of people who clock into their time clocks at the last possible moment and leave as soon as possible when their shift is over. You can always tell a bad worker because they are the type who stands at a time clock wanting to leave the moment they can. Their behavior carries over into their productive output. It gives them away on sight—you can tell who they are by their body language. Those people are not worth $15 dollars an hour. They are not worth a mythical “living” wage as determined by a bunch of knuckle dragging progressives. They are lucky to have a job at all, and if Wal-Mart and McDonald’s have to pay those types of people more money, they are better off investing in a machine that will do the work more reliably, and cheaper. Because the goal of every business is to MAKE MONEY—not give things away for free.

The Kristin Bell Mary Poppins character is far different from the Walt Disney version. The Disney version might be worth a few more dollars for what she brought to the table but the Bell version is the kind of baby sitter who brings over her boyfriend the moment the parents leave the house. When the parents return they find that Bell has wrecked their house with a rave party complete with drug paraphernalia strewn about and the kids out cold from intoxication. Then Bell gives the parents a bill saying that she’ll sue them if they don’t pay her $15 per hour instead of the $7 they agreed on since her boyfriend wrecked her car leaving that house intoxicated, since the parents would be responsible for what happens at their house. Then Bell would complain and protest about how greedy the parents were because they still refused to pay, or hire her for another night. After all, she needs money—so somebody owes her some.

Human beings can be better than a machine to deal with, but only under certain circumstances, and none of those circumstances are brought about with an increase in the minimum wage. Such an increase doesn’t just impact jobs on the bottom end, but raises all wage levels with artificial inflation which is why people support such a stupid proposal. People, who currently make $15 an hour which is a good wage, would want to be compensated at $20 because some fast food worker is now making what they once did. And if they don’t get it, it’s better for them to quit the harder job so they can make milk money at a $15 wage at Wal-Mart. Only people who don’t understand how money is made and why businesses do anything support a minimum wage increase. Those who do understand find the proposal reprehensible—because they know that the unintended consequence is what the video from Reason Magazine revealed. Machines are more reliable when the expectations of employees are too great. When humans become a pain in the ass, they will find themselves jobless in a hurry—and Kristin Bell’s Mary Poppins would find herself begging for a tuppence within a few days of walking out on employer with her broken umbrella and terrible attitude. Because nobody wants to deal with a bitch like that—the money just isn’t worth it.

World Socialist Web Site Didn’t Like ‘Interstellar’: Social justice is more imporant than space travel–according to them

Most normal Americans probably don’t know that there is a World Socialist Web Site, but there is. In fact, there are a lot of web sites throughout the world dedicated to socialism and they are primarily aimed at the young, the stupid, and the uneducated masses that lack natural aptitude. Socialism is attractive to the infinitely, and incurably lazy because it allows them to gain resources at the expense of somebody else’s work. It is far from fair because those who have natural ambition and drive are constantly plucked throughout their lives and punished for their drive by the collective masses who call themselves socialists. There are a lot more socialists than most people realize—and they are a lot more open about their activity outside of the United States. There is still a stigma in America toward socialism because of the foundations of capitalism that formed the prosperous country. So socialists and would-be communists keep their identification concealed behind “alternative” terminology to perpetrate their ruse against society.

I have identified to readers here what Interstellar was all about in my review, which can be seen by clicking here. The film has made within just three weeks over $500 million dollars, most of it overseas—particularly communist China and somewhat capitalist South Korea. The film underperformed in the United States largely due to the intellectual weight of the subject matter. Thinking is not fashionable in America currently, so given the nature of Interstellar, an almost 3 hour film that does not involve any sex or even romance—is a lot to ask out of American film audiences to sit though. They for the most part are scared of a physics experiment that does not involve someone flashing boobies somewhere within it. Those who love Interstellar in America are those who like to think. In societies already suppressed by communism and collectivism however—they do enjoy thinking because it’s the only freedom that they have—and they LOVE Interstellar. Forget the stereotypes that Asians are good at math, the movie market in the East loves thinking movies—which Interstellar is.

But socialists don’t like thinking movies because they require non-thinking mentality to execute their ridiculous political and economic policies. Communists in China have seen first-hand what a debacle their policies have been and the are moving toward capitalism instead of away from it like Americans have been for so long—and they see the message behind Interstellar as hope for their dire situations. Elsewhere, particularly around Europe, socialists see the message of Interstellar as a threat to their climate change religion of earth worship so they attack the premise of the plot with the same voracity that Bible thumpers profess that evolution is not a scientific factor in plant and animal life development.

For proof of this discriminatory condition against capitalist endeavors such as a non-climate change movie, below are some hilarious excerpts from the World Socialist Web Site as they reviewed Interstellar.  The World Socialist Web Site is essentially The Huffington Post only without the filter of progressivism to mask the hard left slant. The WSWS is written by The International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) which is the name of two Trotskyist internationals; one with sections named Socialist Equality Party which publishes the World Socialist Web Site, and another linked to the Workers Revolutionary Party in Britain.   The International Committee originated as a public faction of the Fourth International. It was formed in 1953 by a number of national sections of the FI that disagreed with the course of the International Secretariat of the Fourth International led at that time by Michel Pablo (Raptis) and Ernest Mandel (Germain). The Committee was co-ordinated by the American section, the Socialist Workers Party, and included the British section led by Gerry Healy and Pierre Lambert’s Parti Communiste Internationaliste (PCI) in France. Trotskyist groups in various other countries, notably in Austria, China, India, Japan, New Zealand and Nahuel Moreno‘s group in Argentina, also joined.

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

Needless to say, they didn’t like the movie, here’s what they said:

Interstellar is part of a trend in contemporary science fiction movies, and cinema in general, that subscribes to the notion that everything in this planet is already lost. Brand’s brilliant scheme is simple: if we cannot save the Earth, let’s leave it. The idea of abandoning the planet for a fresh start in another part of the universe is alarming, irritating. Responsible scientists, artists and others need to address the present social and political challenges, instead of ignoring them or projecting them far away.

Toward the end, when Cooper awakes on board a NASA space station orbiting Saturn, it seems that people are living in harmony. As was the case at the beginning of the film, there is no reference to the social context. Is this a world with a different economic structure, with social justice, free from capitalist exploitation? Does Nolan think the discovery of another planet will automatically make human beings’ relationships better? Or is humankind a species destined to wander through the universe without hope for all eternity?

Nevertheless, the overall plot resolution is ridiculous. Nolan prefers providing easy, indulgent answers to the audience rather than working through thought-provoking questions.

At one point, Amelia says: “Love is the one thing we are capable of perceiving that transcends time and space.” But beyond the vindication of the family institution, the classic setting of the petty bourgeois, the film does not dare to go anywhere. Ultimately, what is so striking about Interstellar is the contradiction between the science and technology (including film technology) and the poverty of the ideas. It is easier for many filmmakers to imagine a fifth dimension and coming out the other end of a black hole than it is for them to study our social organization and construct a critical picture of it.

Incoherent and boring for long stretches, Interstellar is a galactic mess: a sci-fi extravaganza, in which Nolan becomes the prisoner of his own gravity. His work says little about the human condition, our world and its relation with the universe around us. Made for $165 million, it has already grossed more than $130 million in the US, and $225 million in the rest of the planet since its release. If Nolan’s film reveals anything, it would be the mediocre state of American studio filmmaking and the undemocratic global system of distribution and exhibition.

http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/11/29/inte-n29.html

Notice how the key words of socialism were placed in the article from their philosophic vantage point, “capitalist exploitation,” “social justice,” and the illustrious “bourgeois.” Their biggest gripe with the film is that the Nolan brothers decided to take the plot line of earth worship completely out of the factors of consideration and just left earth behind for destinations yet unknown. By doing so all the tenants of progressive and socialist belief are instantly diffused. Socialism and communism only work when there are no other options for a society—and capitalism is destroyed. This is why they tend to mostly be greenie weenie types and old hippie tree huggers with tie die t-shirts hanging in their closets and an occasional aroma of marijuana smoke emitting from their urban dwellings. They have made a religion out of earth worship and attached it directly to political activism—which ultimately attacks capitalist enterprises like coal consumption, carbon emissions, and creates EPA activism through regulation.

 

The Nolan brothers behind Interstellar come from England and have seen the effects of socialism there first hand—and their movies reflect their dislike of the practice. They have a right to their opinion and many people in the world agree with them, measured by box office take. Consider two movies with equal star power and budgets along with length—such as Cloud Atlas versus Interstellar. Interstellar blows away Cloud Atlas as movie goers voted with their wallets—Interstellar was a pro capitalist message where Cloud Atlas was a very progressive/socialist type of story line. Movie goers rejected Cloud Atlas and have supported Interstellar. (Read my thoughts on Cloud Atlas here) Even Ronald Reagan toyed with communism in his early years but was scared away from it while shooting a movie in England. After that, Reagan became a diehard capitalist who helped destroy communist Russia in a spending war they could not win with their repressive economy.

Socialists require no options to sell their ideals to society, and Interstellar takes movie goers completely out of the earth worship culture of progressives and gives them something else to think about besides social justice. Given that option, socialists throughout the world are watching as years of mind-numbing programming are erased with a simple three-hour Christopher Nolan movie. This is precisely why my own children have been to see Interstellar three times over the last three weeks. When my oldest daughter had any option she wanted for her 25th birthday, she chose to see Interstellar for the third time—and I am proud of her for supporting such a wonderful picture.   I want to see it again just because I know it galls socialists to no end to see such philosophic competition arguing against their policies.

 

Kip Thorne is hardly a bastion of conservatism along with his openly left-leaning Interstellar producer Lynda Obst. Thorne is an academic whom I admire immensely, so I forgive him for his old hippie ways. It’s alright so long as he stays on campus and keeps his fingers out of the business world where capitalism rules. Lynda was producing Interstellar with Steven Spielberg and if things had stayed the way they were lining up Interstellar would have been a good film like A.I. or something to that effect, but it would not have made nearly as much money. Science geeks would go to the film, but conservatives would stay away because of all the hippie messages that Obst and Spielberg would have sprinkled in—and the $200 million dollar project might have broken even in the world-wide market. But Obst had a problem, after a writer’s guild strike pulled Jonathan Nolan away then Spielberg had to bail, she had no other option but to take the next best thing, Christopher Nolan fresh off his Dark Knight films. The Nolans working together once again rewrote the script, cut out all the hippie sludge, and put together a film that truly took viewers off this planet and all the problems associated with it. The result is an international box office smash that will redefine the film industry—especially in the Asian market.

So the socialists of the world are watching the success of Interstellar with a serious case of the goo. They are miserable to see such a rejection of their social philosophies, and Interstellar is very much a rejection of their assumptions—that’s partly what makes it so wonderful. So if you really want to piss off a socialist—go see Interstellar a few more times and support it with the kind of revolution that the communists in America are calling for in Ferguson. The best way to solve many of the social problems that afflict the world is to put more money in people’s pockets and upgrade their standard of living. Space shows promise in that direction—but more importantly, capitalism offers those solutions. Socialism leads mankind to earth worship and more EPA regulations. Capitalism leads to space, and the many opportunities for the world found there. It is that realization that has the World Socialist Web Site feeling so dejected. And that makes me very, very happy.

 

“But beyond the vindication of the family institution, the classic setting of the petty bourgeois, the film does not dare to go anywhere.” Now, you know what’s wrong with American public schools—what a terrible, diabolical attitude toward family structure. It should be clear what socialists are out to destroy.

‘The Force Awakens’ Preview: Canon versus fan boy reinvention–concern on the horizen

I am one of the few people who saw the new Star Wars preview for Episode 7 and did not get all that excited. My daughter and I were at the Barnes and Nobel at Newport on the Levee as she was catching up on the New Jedi Order books and we were talking about the new preview which saw millions upon millions of views depending on where it was seen on YouTube in just 24 hours. Some sources had 24 million views in that time frame whereas the official Star Wars site had over 8 million. I’m not that excited about the new story because for one, Han Solo will likely be killed and unless Lucasfilm follows the story line they have been on for over twenty years with their expanded universe I will not be able to accept a new story canon—as I’m too invested. It just won’t work for me. Once Han Solo is out of the picture, there won’t be anything for me in Star Wars any more. Even if there are the planned Han Solo stand alone films, if they do not follow the storyline of the six novels I have read about the origin of Solo, I will likely reject the movies and stick with the books. The whole thing will only work if Lucasfilm keeps everything in continuity with each other.

I told my daughter to get the New Jedi Order books and continue reading them, because there is some great stuff in that series. It is quite possible by watching the trailer that the Daisy Ridley character is Jaina Solo and that the X-Wing pilot is Jag and that the Sith story line that was built up in the Legacy of the Force novels will be the jumping off point for these new movies. It would make sense. But she reminded me that most franchises—particularly Marvel are mixing and mashing story lines with revision and under those circumstances, Star Wars would be making a huge mistake. I told her that I didn’t think they were that stupid—and I don’t think they are. I think most of the story lines leaked out are false ones meant to keep fans in the dark and in doubt. But, there is the part of me that has been so let down by bad decisions made by other people in the past, that it wouldn’t surprise me if my daughter was right. In that case this next Star Wars film will likely be it for me—and I’m sure I’m not alone.

I just don’t see Lucasfilm isolating all their long-term fans with revisionist history in the overall Star Wars mythology. Scrapping the stories of several New York Times best sellers just doesn’t make any sense for anybody. There are many fans who have been with Star Wars through the lean years so taking away the story arcs that they fell in love with would not give the franchise the fuel to carry the kind of numbers Disney needs out of this mythology. Without question the new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens will do great initial numbers—but realistically—it needs to be a two billion dollar money-maker at the global box office to hold up to the aims that Disney has for it—and if people like me jump off the ship—I don’t see how they get there. There are obviously a new generation of people who will enjoy them but Star Wars just doesn’t benefit from having a split fan base of people who liked Star Wars before Disney took ownership and those after.

There was nothing in the new trailer that told me that my thoughts weren’t the case, so I am still hopeful. But from the new preview I wanted confirmation that Lucasfilm didn’t decide to take the revisionist route in the story arc.   They didn’t give me that assurance—so anxiety toward the new film was my reaction. In many ways my concerns stem from the new cartoon Rebels—which is alright, but you can certainly tell that George Lucas is not a part of the stories anymore. The content in the new Star Wars cartoon is good, and fun—but much too light. The program is being made by fan boys essentially—like myself and that’s fine so long as it doesn’t screw up the overall story lines of the greater mythology. If it does, and these new filmmakers stray off the path—then there is trouble ahead for Star Wars.

It is possible that Rebels will come around once these filmmakers get their teeth deeper into the story and become more comfortable with the characters—but so far I see Lucasfilm and Disney painting themselves into a corner they don’t need to. Without George, I have my doubts that the whole thing will work because of what I’ve so far seen in Rebels and what they didn’t show in the new Force Awakens movie trailer.

Pablo Hildago who is part of the new story group said in his book The Essential Guide to Star Wars that it was possible that Lucas might revise the canon around the films—that the movies were the establishing parameters. Yet Pablo is the essential guide to the expanded universe and with him a major member of the story group—I just can’t see them making decisions that ruin years of publishing from the guide books to the novels. To do that would be a disaster for the Star Wars franchise. For families like mine where we own every single Star Wars book that there ever was—making them suddenly irrelevant would isolate our investment. So from a business perspective, I just don’t see a rejection of the expanded universe canon. It would be the dumbest thing to do in entertainment. I am a die-hard Star Wars fan and the prospect of a change in canon from what I’ve invested twenty years into to suddenly accept something a bunch of fan boys came up with second-hand is not possible. I would lose my enthusiasm for the upcoming films instantly.

But for now the new film looks great from the preview. Basically, if the female lead is Jaina Solo I’m good for a new generation. If it isn’t, then my love of Star Wars essentially stops now and it will become like a James Bond franchise for me which I’ll watch for fun, but cannot buy into the character since Sean Connery stepped away from the movies. Sean Connery was James Bond canon whether or not anybody likes it. Accepting someone else in that role just never worked. Star Wars is even more sensitive to this issue.

So we’ll see. I told my daughter to stick with Star Wars, read New Jedi Order and all the other books because they perfectly set up another movie by the time a reader comes to the end of the Legacy series. But the new preview didn’t do anything personally for me because I wanted to see assurance that Lucasfilm didn’t screw the pooch. In some ways they gave cryptic indications, such as the Ridley character with a lightsaber mounted to the side of a strange vehicle, and the X-Wings flying in formation with someone who could easily be Jag leading. But if those characters aren’t present—then it would be impossible for me to accept a substitute. It would just be too much to kill off the most beloved character in the series and accept a bunch of new characters not part of the twenty plus year canon formed by the novels. Until that confirmation is materialized, I will be skeptical and not all that enthusiastic to see something very good come to a bitter end.

Staying Fat, Dumb and Happy: Edward Leedskalnin’s thoughts on public education

To those who have read Edward Leeskalnin’s book Magnetic Current they have the fortune of knowing that it is as revolutionary as Einstein’s E=MC2. In the book Leeskalnin explains how to remove magnetic currents from objects and to manipulate them in a way that is useful. Yet the information is technically impossible by modern methods of science as there is some missing knowledge in getting from here to Leeskalnin’s assumptions. The impact of Leeskalnin’s understanding to magnetism will eventually be much more revolutionary than Tesla’s experiments with AC current as opposed to Edison’s DC. Tesla was attacked and buried by his former boss in Edison so to preserve the power grid model we see today that is unionized as a public utility—and controlled by government backed monopolies. Yet Leeskalnin and Tesla were using electrical current and magnetism in ways that tapped into the cosmic supply of that energy—which never runs out making the levitation of giant objects and perpetual use of power completely free as an obtainable possibility. The difference is essentially the Internet we have today which costs a fee to have access but once there, the world is at your feet in as much abundance as you can handle—as opposed to Obama’s attempts through the FCC to control and regulate the Internet as a public utility.

Once the government gets involved in anything its game over for invention and options and this has never been truer than with government schools. Leeskalnin was a certified genius—click here to read more about him—and in his small book A Book in Every Home, he addressed the education problem emerging in America as early as the 1940s—well before the creation of the Department of Education which I have railed against so intensely. Many would look at the education methods from Leeskalnin’s day and declare that they were the best in the world and created some of the best people ever to walk the earth—they defeated Hitler, unified the world with technology sending people to the moon, encouraged the greatest period of economic growth ever seen in the world prior, brought equality to women, and people of color, and still had time to raise decent families. However, Leeskalnin was not impressed and dropped out of school in the 4th grade because it bored him. His complaints about school were similar to Einstein’s and both had little reverence for the government backed institutions.

In A Book in Every Home Leeskalnin had some very interesting thoughts about the quality of an education system and how to determine if it was any good. He stated:

 

Now, a few words about eduation. You know we receive an education in the schools from books. All those books that people became educated from twenty-five years ago, are wrong now, and those that are good now will be wrong again twenty-five years from now. So if they are wrong then, they are also wrong now, and the one who is educated from the wrong books is not educated, he is mislead. All books that are written are wrong, the one who is not educated cannot write a book and the one who is can be proved, to possess appreciation and self control.

 

Now, if you lack willingness to learn, you will remain as a brute and if you do things that are not good and right, you will be a low person, and if you believe in things that cannot be proved, any feeble minded person can lead you, and if you lack appreciation, it takes away the incentive for good doing and if you lack self control you will never know the limit.

 

So all those lacking these characteristics in their makeup are not eduated.

 

Essentially what Ed was saying in a manner that reminds me of the way Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War—which is still used today by military minds—is that most books are written by people not properly educated and of no mind to teach others. The government’s motivation in this debacle is revealed by their desire to go through the motions, yet still delivering people to an ignorant state so that they are easy to control by creating a society of the feeble minded. The government only wants to educate people in the methods of instruction that will lead to a career which serves the state—and not in the wisdom of perpetually obtaining knowledge.

To confirm the results of this vile approach just look at any slack jawed loser who has been trained by their public schools into incurable ignorance. Their minds were destroyed in public education and they now can do very little with their lives but show up at a job they trained for and vote for one of the two members of a political party. The rest of their lives are virtually wasted.

 

If society had listened to Tesla every home in the world could have free electrical power. There would never be grid failures but each power generation supply would operate like an air conditioning unit does now—they would run and supply free power for as long as the perpetual generator lasted instead of the J.P. Morgan backed debacle we ended up with through Edison. The government wanted unionized employees servicing a power grid, and that’s what we ended up with vulnerable to every downed tree, heavy wind, or car accident that hits a power line. Edward Leedskalnin and his anti-gravity techniques could eliminate huge power equipment for construction and manufacturing methods—but most of those suppliers of equipment are also unionized, and they don’t want average people to gain the ability to lift 20 to30 ton objects the way a child picks up a penny off the sidewalk. The technology is there, but it cannot be unlocked because government schools have taught mass swarms of individuals to think of the collective good before individual selfishness—and in that way nobody dares to provoke the systems put in place by government intrusion—to question their merits.

 

Yet if you step off the path the governments of the world have led you down dear reader—you will see easily that a better life is easily obtainable. Tesla discovered many of those secretes and so did Edward Leedskalnin. They tried to help people see those secrets by overcoming the public faith in a government backed education system and Leedskalnin’s books were obvious efforts toward that objective. Sadly, especially in Leedskalnin’s case he remained a hermit most of his life because it is just too tormenting for highly intelligent people like him to watch others behave so ignorantly following the same outdated education methods even in a time where the world envied the American system as the best in the world. Leedskalnin understood the deficiency and he tried to warn people of it—but they did not have a mind to listen.

 

Because of the poor educating methods applied to mass society, there are no minds able to unlock the secrets of Leedskalnin’s book Magnetic Current. There are only knuckle dragging assumptions that always look toward mother government for encouragement and breast milk. And the same slavery of ignorance which has persisted for millennia continues to ruin minds, destroy societies, and eradicate family structure. The only thing government schools are good for is creating compliant minds who will drink too much, shorten their lives considerably with unhealthy choices, and pay their taxes for the employment of slugs who eye every conceivable holiday with a yearning for the intoxication that comes from the hit of a bottle and too many groceries in the refrigerator—keeping them fat, dumb, and happy.
