Explaining the first Three Planks of Communism: A gift from Matt Clark

It used to be 700 WLW that I did a lot of radio work for, but over time they decided to take a noticeably centralist political position and stay close to their core audience, which is sports radio.  But I still do a considerable amount of radio in other markets, and one of the most is my friend Matt Clark from WAAM in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Recently Matt and I did a show together about American Excepetionalism and Walt Disney to bring to mind why America was the only country on earth who could have produced a Walt Disney type of person, let alone an entire company.  Many countries have tried as the blue print is evident for all to see.  Walt Disney even tells everyone how he did it at one of his amusement parks in Florida—the Hollywood Studios “History of Walt Disney.”  But those countries can’t and never will, because success is more than just performing the action—it is a philosophy.  To thank me for doing that particular one hour radio episode, Matt sent me a coffee mug that he had bought at Disney World showing all the different logs of that “happiest place on earth” which have been designed over the years.  CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.  It arrived unexpectedly weeks after the interview and it has taken me time to sort out my feelings about it.  The surface emotions were one of gratitude and kindness.  Matt didn’t have to do anything to thank me.  I enjoy doing radio shows, so gifts weren’t necessary.  However, there was more to the mug than just a simple gift.  Matt went to the time and trouble of purchasing it for me, and having it sent to my house at a reasonable expense.  The mug itself wasn’t any different from one which could be purchased from a local Wal-Mart or other retailer.  But the fact that this mug came from Disney World had meaning which Matt and I mutually understood, containing the symbol of what America is, or has been.  That symbol was captured well by the Disney Company and is nearly all that remains of the old philosophy of The United States—the one of self-reliance, and innovation.  Matt sending me the mug was intended as a message across time and space in recognition that he and I know the secret which is lost to the human race.  That secret was the knowledge of an attack that occurred many years ago, and slowly.  Walt Disney, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne and Ayn Rand, along with many others in Hollywood attempted to warn the world of the attack.  CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF.  But by 1958 the attack, by a secret Trojan Horse many years in the making was unleashed in full view of all.  The battle plan was listed in the book by Cleon Skousen, The Naked Communist, but it was too late.  The Horse had already been opened behind enemy lines and the troops of world-wide communism had spread out to strike down an unsuspecting public.

In the book The Naked Communist, the means for taking over the world in favor of communism was listed so that those sympathetic to communism could step in and know the battle plan quickly, and acclimate themselves to the climate.  Those in denials of such a plan would ignore the book and turn away from the warning of Walt Disney and Ayn Rand hoping they were wrong—but they weren’t.  The list of strategies listed in that dreadful book is shown below.  I’ve covered them before, but it is apparent that more needs to be done to explain what has happened in modern American culture, so I am going to take the considerable effort of explaining each of them one by one in upcoming articles—starting with the first.  The rest can be seen in the following list.  Read them then attempt to deny that such an attack has not happened.  After the list is viewed I will begin with issue #1 and explain the strategy behind it and implementation value.  The list was read before the House of Representatives in 1963, as evident by the link at the conclusion, but by then it was too late.  The communists had already infiltrated both parties, and freedom had lost its majority rule.  America had been prepared to fight off any enemy that showed its swords, guns and missiles to us.  But it was not prepared to fight an attack on its philosophy which was conducted with pinheaded academics and political bureaucrats.

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

Since the first three items on that list are so related, let us deal with them as a whole so to understand the intent of the communists in listing them in the first place.  They are:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength

The world, particularly Russia was very weary of the manufacturing capacity by The United States.  Through capitalism, America had wealth which allowed it to dominate all other militaries—so communism would never spread so long as America had a military force which stood in the way.  So the only strategy available to the communists was to develop a coexistence strategy that crippled the moral aptitude of America from engaging in war.  The Peace Sign was created as a way to stimulate the compassion of American youth into turning against their government’s willingness to out produce weapons of mass destruction, which communist nations could not keep up with under their statist policies.

By the 1960s the Peace Sign was common, and in 2013 it is even sold as jewelry to unsuspecting young people who think its “hip.”  The message of global peace is wide-spread and well understood, but it was started by the communists who knew they could not impose themselves upon an America that could destroy their country a thousand times over with firepower created under the unrestricted aptitude of capitalism.  The human race had been in a sprint for nuclear power, and under capitalism, America had arrived first gaining the high ground in a global strategy.  The only way to take America away from that high ground was to convince them to allow every country in the world to share their strategic position.

Nobody in their right mind wishes for nuclear war, or even armament that could destroy the world millions of times over.  However, if America had not gained such supremacy first, the world—especially the towel headed extremists of the Middle-East would have used such weapons to destroy all members of Christianity, Buddhism, even the cannibal eating tribes of New Guinea into oblivion just to fulfill their religious direction to destroy all infidels—anyone who is not of the Islamic faith.  The weapons of the world are only one madman away from global threat, and America has been all that stands in the way of that takeover.  Communists wish to remove the threat of madmen altogether by micromanaging every life into servitude to the state.  They believe falsely that they can stop such attacks with a global communist government.  Before they could do that, they had to remove America as the barrier to tyranny with capitalism.  So long as America stood as a symbol of freedom, economically, morally, and strategically, communism would be a stalled case.

The rest is history.  Of course nobody calls the “peace sign” a symbol of communist menace.  People don’t even call communism—communism.  They call it “socialism,” Labour Party philosophy, the Democratic platform, progressivism, the concerns of the “green movement,” they call it everything but what the roots are—and that is communism.  Because of the rest of the 45 communist planks, people have forgotten what the threat of communism was completely, which I will cover in detail with future articles.  But Walt Disney knew of the danger and is the only place left in America where communism is still kept at bay.  Communism has certainly left its mark on the Disney Company as compliance regulations have made its presence known through the legal system, but the ideal of freedom that Walt Disney captured through his entertainment empire protected America with a Trojan Horse of its own.

When Matt Clark sent me the mug, he was sending me a secret message letting me know that he understood.  That secret message is that Uncle Walt is the method to undercutting the infiltration that communists have ushered in upon American culture and that no matter how dire the situation gets; we both know that freedom from communism is again obtainable.  To touch and feel that freedom, all one need to do is look at the logo of the Disney World complex, and understand that communists could have never created such a place under any conditions.  Only a free people could ever conceive such a thing as Disney World—which communists could never hope to aspire to.  Matt understands as I do, that the best way to beat the 45 Planks of Communism is to undo each of those points one by one—and the best way to do that is not with guns, force, or legislation—but with creativity—which the communist is dreadfully lacking.  The way to beat a communist is with a superior intellect and creative force that cannot be duplicated under communist regimes—and to use that high ground to finally destroy a foe that thrives off public sentiment and emotional mandate which drives inaction.

So Matt, I will enjoy the mug.  It sits proudly on our counter top when not in use.  The emblems upon it speak of a truth mutually understood, and a long battle yet to fight against the thoughtless tirades of The Naked Communist—exposed not due to a lack of clothing, but their philosophical attack which has finally been acknowledged for what it always was.

A Better Reality: Life in ‘The Old Republic’

The very expensive wine was flowing freely at the type of dinner that cost a small group of five over $2500.  It was the type of thing that business professionals and political science majors spend many thousands of dollars in college hoping they’ll achieve some day.  The minds were powerful; the participants were dressed in their latest fashions from Nordstroms, and the topics were at the top of discussion in any level of human endeavor.  It was a power dinner and at 8 PM in the evening my wife sent me a text………..”are you done yet.”  I replied, “not yet, I’m about to wrap it up.  I’ll be home very soon.  Get everything ready.”  The handshakes concluded and all members of the small party left into the parking lot by different trajectories as I headed for my motorcycle parked far away but in clear view of the restaurant.  I do this so my enemies cannot tamper with my transportation while I’m involved in these kinds of activities.  I never sit with my back to a crowd, and I never sit somewhere where I cannot see my transportation at all times.  It is an old trick I learned from friends I who were “hit men” during the 80’s working for a branch of the mob stationed in Chicago responsible for the Chester Road portion of business coming out of Sharonville, Ohio.  Precautions no longer necessary I headed home quickly and within 25 minutes was in front of the same computer station that had been set up 9 months prior for the solitary purpose of playing an online game called The Old Republic.  My wife and I have duel computers built specifically for heavy online gaming, and she was waiting for me with both units powered up and ready to go.  I sat down and we began to play the same video game that we had played almost every day since the previous December when we started our journey into a galaxy far, far away set in a time, a long time ago.

I consider the time my wife and I have spent playing that game together to be far more important than the value of the dinner described, or any other dealing I’ve been involved with at any point in my life.  The reason can be seen in the above video.  In the real world that we all live in there are veils of deceit that permeate everything—even the dinner mentioned.  There is a sense that nothing is as it really is—that everything is dressed up to disguise the ugliness that is left unmentioned.  Our society is at war, but nobody discusses it—the war is not over racism, equal rights, or even political ideology—but over philosophy—even religion.  It is a war over values which nobody discusses.  However, in the Star Wars game my wife and I have spent well over a thousand hours playing together as one of our favorite past times, values are the theme of the entire game, and I relish the environment.

I feel most comfortable on the space ship I have in the game in the middle of space away from the noise of the busy metropolis worlds, or the baron outposts that exist in the outer rim.  The ship is mine, the space is mine, and the control I have of what goes on within it are for me and me alone.  Of all the cool things to do in The Old Republic my favorite are the space missions.  They are not traditional flight simulators, but the graphic combat is absolutely astounding.  I never tire of them.  In that place the perspective of existence is easy to see.  The values of the game make sense to me, and the war between the factions eluded to in the above video are those of our modern age, which go unsaid in the dinner meetings previously described.  In such meetings it is permissible to discuss football team power rankings, baseball playoff scenarios, and the latest in fashion, but not the things that really matter—philosophy.  But in The Old Republic, my wife and I can play side by side on many far flung worlds against players who adhere openly to the opposite philosophy, the fight between statism represented by the Imperial players, and individual freedom represented by players of The Old Republic.  The fight for freedom versus control is out in the open and obvious.  Those attracted to the Imperial faction tend to support statism, while those who support the Republic tend to support individual freedom, and within the confines of that game, it is easier to see the boundaries that exist in the real world—and I relish the honesty.

I have said it on many occasions, I believe Star Wars and their movies, the television shows, the many novels, the comics, and the video games are bringing a philosophy to tomorrow’s world that will have far-reaching consequences deep into the future.  Those consequences are stepped carefully around during dinner meetings as nobody feels comfortable discussing them in public, because most people feel unqualified to express their feelings about philosophy.  But philosophy is the foundation of thought, and without firmness in a manner of belief, people have a tendency to drift in their convictions.  However, in the world of The Old Republic, the characters are not shy about their beliefs, and they are willing to fight to support them—which for my wife and I, is why we’d rather play that game together, than do just about anything else.  Meetings like the one I was engaged in do not impress her.  But beating a terrible villain on a remote world in The Old Republic does.

When I arrived at my game that day my wife had snacks lined up by my keyboard ready for two or three hours of gaming.  Her computer sits right next to mine and our characters link up online so we can travel together in that virtual world the way we would in the real one.  We both love the game for its honesty—and for the commitment to goodness that The Old Republic stands for.  I enjoy fighting for that Republic the way I’d like to fight for the American Republic—if only people in the real world were as honest with their beliefs, as they are within the world of a video game.  Under such conditions, I will choose the honesty of fiction over the falseness of reality.

There is a freedom in the of The Old Republic that does not exist in the real world of current, but it should.  The philosophy of America articulated through The Constitution allows for that freedom, but in practice, it has been surrendered to discussion about sports teams, and redundant trivia—leaving the most important things in life unrepresented.  In The Old Republic I am free to punish evil, and stand for good without the worry and concern of confrontation with statist government.  In the real world there is constant worry about arrests, legal costs, and social castigation for doing the right things—and standing up for what’s right over what’s wrong.  In The Old Republic, such concerns do not exist, which is why my wife and I prefer that environment over all others.  That is the reason even after a long day associating with the kind of people young professionals dream of growing up to correlate with, and dinning in luxury among—my eye was on the clock dreaming of getting home to my wife who awaited me at the spaceport of Corellia.  It is then that we experience freedom, and justice the way the human mind desires—away from the failed philosophies, and political corruption that leads to war, and the suppression of freedom in the real Republic of America.  It is in the fictional world of the computer where real freedom resides, and why video games in general are so popular—and hold so much power over the minds of tomorrow.  I foresee a literal day when the video above comes true as shown, in the world of the living, of the real.  The statists are out to destroy those who cherish freedom, and the fight has not yet manifested beyond unspoken words over wine glasses and sports trivia.  But it’s coming……….trust me.  For now, the only world that matters is the one in The Old Republic—where honesty is clearer through the lost art of philosophy accompanied by the sights, sounds, and action from a computer generated world that is freer providing relief from the real world we are all chained to.

My wife and I have never really returned from our vacation that started so many months ago during the cold December months of late 2012.  I have cut back my personal meetings and interactions to a bare minimum in favor of this fictional world because the vacation has been that good, so good that not even the indulgencies of opulence conducted under luxurious and socially acceptable conditions hold a candle to tasting freedom within the purely imagination driven world of The Old Republic.

Matt Clark Tells Everything About Obamacare: The history of how and why it came down to socialized medicine

Obamacare is an evil invasion driven by ancient communist sentiments intending total government control of the greatest healthcare system in the world.  It is a giant attack on everything that America has stood for, and is a progressive Trojan horse into the lives of every citizen in The United States.  It is a terrible, dastardly intrusion upon the lives of every living being—and is sold to the public under the guise of smiling faces and social benefit.  The corrosive practices that Obamacare is forcing upon the innocent are the same which advance school levies for public education—exploitation of the weak, in order to erode the freedoms of the many.   My good friend Matt Clark during his radio show on WAAM in Ann Arber, Michigan has done an excellent job of breaking down why my comment above is valid.  Some reading my opening statement that aren’t so well-informed might think that it is merely the rhetoric of a right-winged activist.  However, Clark does an excellent job of exposing the many crimes of Obamacare in the below video from a radio interview with a medical professional who worked previously within the Canadian health care system.  The bottom line is that Obamacare is an attack on the free market and an attempt to create more medical monopolies that will provide fewer options rather than more, and medical innovation as America as become accustomed will halt.  The pain will be evident to American culture within months and as the years pass, the medical system that everyone has taken for granted will be terribly missed.  Evil has been sold to the masses with the usual good intentions under the slow erosive agreement of a complacent society.    Watch carefully:

Matt dug up a lot of those old clips showing Obama, Pelosi and many others doing everything they can to lead America to a single payer system—which will lead directly to complete government control of medicine.  That is what they are after, and they do not care if they mislead the masses to accomplish it.  The politicians and pundits advocating a single payer insurance system tend to be secular, so they do not care about being cast into Hell for lies, and they tend to support socialism—which is soft communism of the European model.  Under the premise of communism the needs of the many out-weight the needs of the few, so by sacrificing their good name with out-right lies does not worry them.  They are willing to sacrifice themselves and their very souls for what they perceive to be the greater good.  This is how Obama has been able to so openly lie to the faces of virtually everyone he knows, including his union supporters over Obamacare, because his goal is not their salvation, but the salvation of the collective whole, as interpreted by academia—which has been fashioned after traditional communism.

They have changed the names, but the concepts are the same.  To understand what Obama and the rest of progressives want out of Obamacare, just read the Ayn Rand novel We The Living.  There is a reason progressives hate Ayn Rand, and it’s not so much Atlas Shrugged, or The Fountainhead, but We The Living which tells the story of how the Russians failed in their communist attempts during the 1920’s.  In America those communist sentiments arrived through academic institutions and media outlets through the newly created Progressive Party climaxing in the 1930’s which became known as The Red Decade.  World War II interrupted the communist push as the world became focused on another version of the same Marxist concept, the Nazi as Adolph Hitler turned Germany into a socialist state.  Leading up to Hitler’s terror were the same academic institutions applauding the ruthless dictator in similar ways that they openly support modern socialism in Venezuela and in Europe.  The same type of minds became tenured professors at popular American colleges and entrenched the “establishment” behind their communist rhetoric.  As America completed the dream of progressive president Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations with The United Nations after World War II world-wide statism was up for grabs and the progressive oriented could taste the blood in the water, and set to pounce upon individual freedom for good.  In 1958 communists and progressives rallied behind the book, The Naked Communist which layed the foundation of a communist takeover of world-wide education, business, political parties, the media and everything in between.  They were quite clear about their intentions—the information was out in the open for all to see.  Colleges continued to push the communist agenda as President Lyndon B. Johnston did his part with his Great Society programs introducing Medicaid and other government action on his war against poverty.  As America fought a Cold War with the Soviet Union and braved threats from communist Cuba right off the coast of America, communism was pouring into both political parties through academia under the name of progressivism so to become a Trojan horse of that time, for the same reasons as today.

Medicaid was created by the Social Security Amendments of 1965 which added Title XIX to the Social Security Act. Medicaid was created as an entitlement program to help states provide medical coverage for low-income families and other categorically related individuals who meet eligibility requirements. Candidates include the blind, aged, disabled and pregnant women. In essence, Medicaid serves as the nation’s primary source of health insurance coverage for low-income populations. Each state administers its own Medicaid program, establishes their own eligibility standards, determines the scope and types of services they will cover, and sets the rate of payment. Benefits vary from state to state, and because someone qualifies for Medicaid in one state, it does not mean they will qualify in another.[6] The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) monitors the state-run programs and establishes requirements for service delivery, quality, funding, and eligibility standards.

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

The attack of the progressive and communists was to use compassion to advance their cause.  They do not stop to analyze why some people are poor, while others are not, as the free market gives all people the opportunity to become wealthy based on their merit.  Such a society does not need a government, or the communist minds of academia to train a society’s workforce in the benefits of bureaucratic statism.  Free market options are to be attacked because they do not serve the greater good of global communism, as they were established in the early days of Petrograd, Russia in 1917.

Obama is a modern academic, and holds the views typical of the modern progressive—the professional students who find safety in the halls of scholarship—where theory serves as experience.  Within those halls for nearly one hundred years nationalized health care has been a communist target, to nationalize medicine giving direct control of the government over every single individual. For the weak of all societies, they find the blanket of communist governments reassuring.  For the misfortunate who lack strong adult influences in their lives, like Barack Obama, government represents safety and opportunity they wouldn’t have had any other way, so they found their minds molded by communism from day one to the present.  They do not like, or trust the free market and have been taught by decades of academia to despise capitalism—and to attack it finally putting an end to it forever—giving rise to communism’s century long slow burning assault.

I grew up in the 80’s and Ronald Reagan was a president that I campaign for as a 7th grade child.  I remember the debacles of Jimmy Carter’s progressive Democrats and I was born during the chaos of the 60’s.  I watched Reagan use capitalism to destroy communism with the Berlin Wall falling in the last year of that marvelous decade.  I watched music; art, business, and all culture thrive under the comparatively soft capitalism of Ronald Reagan.  I noticed that those who hated Reagan seemed to have sympathies for communism or at the very least socialism.  But back then they kept their mouths shut up tight because Hollywood was mostly pro-capitalism.  MTV rose to power, and many millionaires were created off the conservative messages of the 80’s action heroes like Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Clint Eastwood.  After Reagan left office, progressives rushed in to regain ground and the witless statist George Bush Sr. didn’t know what hit him, and the 90’s began and ended with Bill Clinton.  All those 80’s action heroes found the world turned upside down upon them and most were on their way out by the year 2000—outcasts in the same Hollywood that made them massive international stars.  The Naked Communist goals had taken over the funding of Hollywood, and more progressive films were introduced to a gullible public that had no idea what was going on, films like The Crying Game.

George W. Bush after a close election attempted to become more “open minded” and bring everyone back together after the progressive political interests suggested he rigged the election away from Al Gore.  Being a genuinely good man, Bush was out maneuvered by the statists of Washington and he started the trend of deficit spending that continues to this day.  For eight years, communists and statists bit their tongue and pounded away at the Republic machine until there wasn’t much left of the gears but a bunch of defenseless old men trying to protect their pension checks.  That is until senators like Rand Paul from the newly created Tea Party entered the political race followed by constitutional puritans like Senator Ted Cruz.  One of the progressive goals was to send a minority president into the White House and they achieved this with the hand-picked progressive Barack Obama who had been trained in the ways of Marxism and Communism extensively, and knew how to schmooze the public.  For the first time after decades of planning and fighting, the communist oriented progressives had their guy in the White House under the Trojan horse of racism.  Americans desiring to prove they weren’t racist elected a man of color not caring anything for his background.  They simply wanted to avoid being called more names by proving they were not discriminating against a presidential candidate because of his dark skin color.

The climax to all these attacks is nationalized health care. Obamacare is the direct attempt to end America as a capitalist nation—it is no secret to those who know anything about history.  The facts Matt brought to light in his video is the reality behind Obamacare.  It is not being implemented to help people; it is an attack on America and everything it has stood for as a beacon of freedom to the entire world.  The characters pushing Obamacare are like soldiers sacrificing themselves for a greater cause, the progressive cause of nationalized health care outlined behind the philosophy of communism many, many years ago and slowly advanced decade by decade to every American attending public education or seeking a college degree.

I have stated at this site the many possible technical advances available to the modern patient seeking medical attention, such as cures for cancer and regenerative medicine.  Such free market options would eliminate many of the medical procedures that are covered under insurance plans, and statists like Barack Obama and the entire medical lobby on Capital Hill who pour millions upon millions of dollars into the pockets of law makers for both parties are terrified of the cure for cancer that is coming out of Texas and the concept that surgery could be eliminated completely and addiction to pharmaceutical drugs disposed of totally through the growth of new human tissue the way children were created in the first place, through cell growth.  So to halt such advancement, the government wishes to do their pharmaceutical lobbyist friends a favor and preserve their grip on human culture through medicine that belongs in the dark ages—like high blood pressure, diabetes, and all forms of cancer.  Government health care is about eliminating these threats to orthodox medicine and keep every citizen in the world dependent on some form of government control.  But for the socialists and communists, nationalized health care eliminates independent lives and makes even the strongest human being dependent on the government for their very lives.  So they better behave………………….

Matt and his guest are not inflating their claims about the dire consequences of Obamacare.  My statements are not inflammatory—they are a fact.  Obamacare is an attack on capitalism and every American should find it repulsive.  Once implemented politicians will never have the guts to stand against it, and Obamacare will become just another statist program sucking money out of our pay checks like Social Security and Medicaid do presently.  It will last so long as there is money to steal from those who work and contribute, which these days won’t be very long.  Obamacare is an assault on everything that is good—because it attacks capitalism directly—and is the indirect target of the program from the very start.  Matt’s information should be listened to and passed along to a friend as quickly as possible.  Failure to do so now may mean that such a chance may never come again under the flag of The United States.  Act now, or fall to peril.  Indecision is not an option.  Pick your side, and fight now!   There is no middle ground.

Sara Pichler’s Letter to the Editor: Fighting against the Lakota school levy

Over the weekend I was out and about when I noticed that several No Lakota Levy supporters had put out their signs early matching the efforts of the levy addicts.  The “For Lakota” campaign had already done so weeks ago as their inbred campaign of terror and parasitic throttling began pretty much at the start of the football season.   While it was good to see the signs for No Lakota Levy going up so soon, I must caution everyone to wait, at least until the last two weeks of the campaign just prior to the election.  The levy zombies will steal the No Lakota signs and they will be all gone by election time.  CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT THEY DID LAST TIME.   We had over 500 signs stolen or openly vandalized within one weekend during the last campaign which cost thousands of dollars in damage.  The school, the police, nor the pro levy campaign attempted to stop the behavior as behind the scenes it was encouraged.  Word came back to me after the election that Lakota teachers were breaking the law spending time covering pro levy topics during their classes and were encouraging students to spend their Friday and Saturday nights vandalizing, and stealing No Lakota Levy signs.  The police of course did nothing about the behavior as pickup trucks filled with No Lakota Levy signs—some quite large—drove around at 3 AM unmolested by Butler County Sheriffs sitting along the road ways and watched.  The police after all were protecting their fellow union brothers and sisters, and encouraged the property destruction with their silence.

Because of all the sign stealing that tends to go on from the “For Lakota” side, I have encouraged the tax resistance efforts to utilize methods of protest that cannot be so easily stolen, such as letters to the editor in local newspapers, blogs like this one, and the comment boards where the levy addicts tend to hang out—and challenge them on their turf.  Over the weekend it was also good to see that Sara Pichler had done just that, she had submitted a well written Letter to the Editor in the September 22nd 2013 edition of Today’s Pulse Butler County competing directly with the hive of levy supporters which typically hijack that process with neurosis, and mindless radicalism.  That letter can be seen below as it appeared in the paper:

VOTE ‘NO’ FOR THE LAKOTA LEVY

Homeowners in the Lakota School District need to be aware that the state of Ohio has passed legislation that will eliminate the 10 percent rollback on your property taxes on Jan. 1, 2013.  This means that if you vote “YES” for the school levy, you will be paying the 10 percent rollback that was eliminated and the new millage Lakota is asking for.  Everyone might want to look at their 2012 property tax statements to see how much the elimination of the 10 percent rollback will impact their household budgets.

With the current economic conditions and the uncertainty about how much your healthcare costs will rise on January 1st 2014 can you afford to vote for a school levy in November?  Lakota has declining enrollment.  Lakota emphasizes that they will increase security at schools return busing, lower fees for students, etc. but, really, aren’t they just going to raise salaries and benefits for all staff?  The levy is not needed at this time and at the millage Lakota would like you to vote for.

Sara Pichler

Liberty Twp.

All those points are good ones yet the best one is the cost of the upcoming Obamacare debacle that will have a major impact on all our incomes with the largest wealth redistribution scheme ever attempted by government.  Even the Lakota teachers who make such extraordinary salaries for mediocre work will agree that they are concerned over Obamacare.  Even with their amazingly high wages of an average of 63K per year the best of the benefits from the Lakota Education Association is the gold-plated health care benefits.  Obamacare threatens that benefit in a radical way with costs not yet foreseen.  Obamacare is the tsunami wave that is not so far out at sea which is coming and we all know it, and when it hits there will be massive amounts of destruction to personal bank accounts.  Can property owners even dare afford hundreds of dollars in additional taxes for the Lakota district when that money might only be a drop in the bucket toward the increased premiums that will come to insurance policies in the wake of Obamacare implementation?  No.  The idiots supporting the upcoming Lakota Levy of 2013 obviously have not done the math, or are too brainwashed to see clearly how dire the situation truly is.

That letter is but one small effort toward the efforts that are massive before us all.  For every letter and sign that is put out against the proposed tax increase, there are ten that will come out in favor of the levy.  This does not mean that there are more supporters for the levy than against; it simply means that the No Levy voter tends to be quiet about their thoughts because they don’t want levy radicals running through their yards stealing their property and threatening them with sins against children while attending church on Sundays. They have learned to keep their opinions to themselves, and they tend to vote NO at the ballot box as a way to stick it to the social parasites who perpetually wish to raise taxes on them.

But a letter like the one above against the levy does thirty times the good of any literature that comes out in favor.  The reason is that the levy people are preaching to the choir, the kind of people who want a first-class education, but can’t afford a private school, so they seek a free education off the backs of the community.  They don’t mind paying $5,000 to $6,000 a year in taxes when private instruction might cost them twice that.  But if they can trick the senior citizens, and business owners into helping to cover those costs, they certainly will.  Those are the typical levy supporters and once their children grow up, they move away, and leave the rest of us with their tax bill, and the teachers union make off like bandits.  That has been the trend anyway, until No Lakota Levy put a stop to the madness—and slowly more people like Sara Pichler have gotten involved and participated in the process of fighting school levies.

The early activity is encouraging, the signs, the letters, and the willingness to engage the levy zombies with facts they cannot combat.  While signs are important to a campaign, No Lakota Levy has won many campaigns without having a majority of the signage out.  The Pro Levy groups have often outnumbered us 10 to 1, but we still win because the silent majority quietly despises the levy addicts.  Still the most effective way to fight the levy zombies is on their own turf, particularly the local newspapers in the fashion that Sara did.   Signs can and will be stolen, lost forever to the thieves of Lakota, but words and ideas stick around much longer.  It is in those tactics that the levy zombies cannot meet with equal ambition because their tax increase proposal is simply a scam that requires emotion vacant of facts to advance.

Why ‘Grand Theft Auto Five’ Made Over A Billion Dollars: The sign of times to come

Everybody is good at something if they spend any time and effort to dig out their uniqueness from the swirling broth of social soup.  I have been fortunate to discover that I am good at a lot of things one of which is the unique skill of discovering trends a long way out before they manifest into the rest of society.  I predicted well over 15 years ago the collapse of the housing market—which my daughter reminds me of often.  Over ten years ago I predicted the rise of a welfare politician like Barack Obama, the collapse of Europe financially, and the current bursting of the college bubble.  I would have vast arguments/discussions with my in-laws over college back in a time when everyone was going and was ashamed to say otherwise.  The view I argued against was that college was not a magic Harry Potter potion where once a degree was obtained would fill the personal bank accounts of the graduates.  Their view of college had been shaped by LBJ’s great society, and blinded them to the perilous results currently before us all—leaving unskilled spoiled brats as the primary workforce who were trained by their educations to be government workers and nothing else, because nothing else in the reality of capitalism supports the view of the world shaped by modern public education and college experiences.

Another unique skill I have is the ability to be surrounded with the worst news possible, death, famine, ignorance, hard luck, etc., and still find something good to work with in order to escape.  This has been beneficial as a family matriarch and those who have ridden my coattails in the past have discovered the financial benefits of tagging along for the ride as I can drag them through the worst portions of their life and they will come out smelling like roses on the other end.  The trick is that they have to shut up and listen.  I don’t mind people riding my coat tails until they become back seat drivers and attempt to share equal credit for the decisions made along the way.  I don’t do the sharing thing, not even when it comes to ideas.

With all that in mind I mentioned a few days ago the trend of Fantasy Flight Games as a gaming company that is unusually good at what they do, and how an emerging market is changing to intersect their particular business model.  Part of the creation of that business model is the failure of public education and the open rebellion that millennials are about to unleash upon the global marketplace.  Well, as I was making those statements Rock Star Games, a video game manufacturer of popular titles like Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, and L.A. Noire released the fifth edition of their very violent and morally decrepit game, Grand Theft Auto.  In the first twenty-four hours of release, GTA5 made $800 million dollars and in just three days hit one billion in sales.

I have played Red Dead and L.A. Noire, and both are wonderful games.  Red Dead is one of the best modern westerns I have ever seen, it’s a great game with large open worlds and is a real technical marvel driven by intensely realistic story lines.  It was a successful title.  L.A. Noire was a L.A. Confidential type of story that featured good guys in 1940’s Los Angeles solving crimes to root out the bad guys.  As good as that game was, it did not find an audience, as modern young people who drive the video game market could not relate.  So they shrugged the game.  Grand Theft Auto is a game that I can’t stand however, because it is evil.  It requires the player to be bad in order to succeed and glorifies drug selling, prostitution, and social decrepitude.  So I don’t play it, and have rejected the title.

Yet millions of kids absolutely love GTA which is a kind of compass needle which points to the direction society is moving—one that current education lovers, government statists, and political think tanks will find repulsive.  A video game with a billion dollars in sales has the power to change cultural references.  Movies that make a billion dollars during their entire release are thought of as social shaping indicators that drive artistically the values of human culture—and are taken very seriously.  Musical records that make that much money over a multiyear period are considered classics that define the generation of their release, but there are no definitions that can articulate the impact of a GTA video game that makes over a billion dollars in just three days.  The plot of the game is the beating and maiming of street whores, having shoot-outs with police, and stealing cars, and the graphics are very realistic.

I’m not going to say that the game is bad however.  It is a work of art that reflects the times that created it.  For all the reasons that L.A. Noire failed, GTA succeeds because it is the product of the first generation that have grown up entirely with failed role-models in their lives.  The parents at the homes of millennials have divorced too often and shown themselves to be physical and intellectual weaklings.  Father can never know best because he is on his second and third marriage by the time he’s forty.  Meanwhile the millennial’s step-fathers are losers who have sex with their mothers and complain a lot and do not have the moral authority to discipline children.  The teachers at their schools are out-of-touch and seem to be coming from a different world.  They are teaching statism to a generation that will be lucky to maintain a job at McDonalds—let alone work in a six figure income.  Millennials have had their religion stripped away from them and have been molded socially with a dangerous replacement of socialism taught in their schools mixed with carefully controlled capitalism broadcast to them from the largest stable influence in their lives, the television.  They can’t trust their teachers, they can’t trust their parents, and they can’t trust their religion.  They are a hapless heap of social failures created for them by the previous generations functioning from failed philosophy.  It is not their fault that they have been given a rage that cannot be communicated any other way but in total social rejection.

When I mentioned that football games in high school were headed toward extinction, the attitude of this millennial generation was what I had in mind.  Without values in those experiences, there is nothing to keep their minds anchored into the future—and public schools have taught the opposite.  They have exacerbated this entire situation.  Public schools have imposed themselves upon the American family, helping to destroy families, showing children that the real authority in the world is what they see at school, not at home, which is draped with chaos and decadence.

The success of Grand Theft Auto 5 is a sign of the times to come.  The players are living out a fantasy that fulfills the emptiness given to them by a statist society overflowing with failure.  I would say that GTA5 is the ultimate libertarian fantasy, and that will be the political persuasion of this millennial generation.  I am so sure of it that you dear reader can mark it on your calendar.  Within ten years it will be discovered that social gun acceptance will increase dramatically, sexual promiscuity will greatly increase, drug use will become more open, and a hatred of the police will permeate a vast majority of the population.  The social models that were built-in America from the 1930’s to the 1980’s will be wiped away completely for good and bad leaving a world that will not be surprised by every mass shooting that occurs, won’t give a damn about fairness or equality, and will have no respect for the law, or the politicians who make them.  For those over 40 who found the Occupy Wall-Street crowd dangerous, and morally corrupt, nothing has been seen yet as these poor hopeless millennials were born without trust and let down by every adult they had ever met from the time of birth till their social maturity at age 10.

It won’t be Rock Star Games that is at fault for the decadence of society in the years to come, it is the failure of an education system driven by government to carry entire generations of people to a statist philosophy that was rejected at the most primal levels of subsequent age brackets.  After all, public education is sold to the public as the fix all for all problems, and quite the opposite is true.  The failure of public education is the reason that GTA 5 made a billion dollars in three days.  It is the reason I hate public education so intensely because it is creating the kind of world where young people cannot relate to good guys, but only the bad.

When I was a kid playing cops and robbers provoked fights because nobody wanted to play the bad guy.  Everyone wanted to be the good guy.  This was the result of previous generations who had grown up on westerns and kids saw that their parents liked good guys and hated the bad—and kids always wanting deep in their minds to please their parents wanted to be something their parents would respect.  So every kid wanted to play the good guy in such games. Now it is the opposite problem.   Now kids fight to be the bad guy.   They have learned that their parents are flawed characters and cannot be made to be happy, so they have given up.  Public schools sought to fill the void with statist educations which only made things worse.  That is why GTA5 is such a hot seller and is the envy of the entertainment market.  The movie industry is aghast by the numbers, politicians are completely unable to comprehend the why or how.  Society is in for a very rough ride that they are not prepared to deal with.  Politics will change dramatically within the decade—and there is no stopping it at this point.  The situation will just have to play itself out.  To understand that situation, study the sales of Grand Theft Auto 5, and the future of America will become quite clear, and it has nothing to do with the values of Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, or the hand holding unified world of George Soros.  It will be more like the plot of Grand Theft Auto 5, and for that, the blame deserves to be placed on the shoulders of the institution that promised since the creation of The Department of Education in 1979 to make society better not worse.  Public education is the cause of GTA5’s success, and the blame deserves to be assigned there and only there as it has ushered in a period that will be one of the darkest in the American experience.  Mark my words—I see it as clear as a noon day sun upon a hot cloudless desert.

The Bee Hive of Lakota Schools: Parasites, Thugs and Communists

A wonderful example of the labor union hypocrisy penetration of public education came to me through an email message from a guy who communicates with me regularly arguments contrary to mine. As it is well-known by now, I report virtually every bit of news that comes out of my school district of Lakota with the intention to combat the constant tax requests imposed by that education institution upon my community.  I write at least one article every day, sometimes two or three. When Lakota is light on news, I cover other topics discussing schools all across the country, and sometimes just to take a break I talk about other kinds of things all together.  However, the primary focus of my blog is the evils of public education particularly centered on my home district.

Of course there are people who take great offense to what I write, because they profit off the education business in some way or another as it currently is.  And those people look constantly for some way to undermine my arguments.  That is the spirit of the letter listed below where the commenter sent me three pictures of nice, pleasant women who teach at Cherokee Elementary as an attempt to invalidate my claims that teachers are typically, parasites upon civilization, thugs as their radicalism brings harm to the communities that employ them, and are serving an occupation that is designed around the philosophy of communism.  I list the letter below without the pictures of the teachers to protect them from unneeded scrutiny.

Rich,

 

I am a little tired of seeing images of teachers from other cities in your blog.  So I give you images of three teachers from Cherokee Elementary.  The titles above them have been given to them for no apparent reason other than they are teachers in Lakota, just as you have labeled virtually every teacher in Lakota as being parasitic, a communist, and a thug.  Why don’t you start with these three teachers in your effort to call out the bad guys instead of beating around the bush with the out-of-towners you like to put in your blog.

What I love about that letter is it shows the weakness of the labor argument.  The primary driver of high taxes imposed upon communities by their school districts is the collective bargaining agreements that were typically reached through the threat of labor strikes by the same teachers that were mentioned above.  It is through collectivism that the budgets of Lakota were wrecked—as all boats in the teacher labor pool rise together regardless of skill level and personal behavior.  Typically, through collectivism, the bad teachers such as the parade of teachers who have been busted recently at Lakota for sexual misconduct hide their evil actions behind the smiling faces of the nice teachers exhibited from Cherokee Elementary.  Through collectivism the bad, unskilled, and corrupt disguise their failures behind the good deeds of the few.

When a bee hive is identified as a threat to a small child out of fear that the youngster might swat at it and stir up the hive of bees into stinging in retaliation, it is the fear of the collective bees that is the threat.  But when individual bees are seen landing from flower to flower harmlessly doing their business, they might be considered a thing of beauty.  Typically when I see a bee land in my swimming pool, I will scoop it out hoping to save it, so that it can live life one more day.  But if a bee hive were near a spot where a child I cared about played, I would incinerate the hive killing thousands of bees in the process to protect the child.

The collective bargaining agreements reached by the teachers unions are a bee hive in our communities.  It protects the bad by using the good as props to show value for the collective whole, which is what the letter writer above was attempting to do—sensing that public sentiment is very much against their public education arguments.  He is attempting to play on my sentiments, which are universally human, to fish out a struggling bee out of a pool to save it from drowning, when I am arguing the incineration of the entire hive.  The hope is that by pulling the focus away from the collectivism that caused the trouble of creating school levies and focusing on the individual lives of a few teachers the bad behavior of the of the collective whole will be forgotten.   They are attempting a trick from the past which created the entire problem.

Collectivists in education want the power of group force behind them to advance their position, but when they get into trouble they seek individual recognition.  When a teacher has sex with a student it is just one or two bad apples that have went bad, but when they want more money, they collectively stop work and hold children hostage from their educations to force wage increases.  I show routinely that these problems are nationwide and exist in every school where labor unions control the political structure.  This leaves the only strategic maneuver by them to loot off the good merits of a few teachers to justify the cost of the entire bee hive.  The teachers mentioned above I have no doubt are nice people taken individually.  They are someone’s mother, someone’s daughter, someone’s special someone, and are not the epitome of evil.  Yet, they allow their good names to be tarnished in association with the group hive of their labor union where statist advocates use the good deeds of a few to justify the evils of the many with looted value.  This makes them every bit the menace as the child molester because the pervert is allowed to hide behind such good teachers through the collective bargaining process.  This makes the entirety of the teaching profession in public school an evil entity which should be defunded at the very least, and eradicated politically before it further destroys the next generation the way it has the previous three.

The attempt to use three mild-mannered teachers from Cherokee Elementary as a way to run cover for a profession that advocates open communism, and radical Democratic political policy on the backs of children is sheer evil.  Evil is not always in the biggest, scariest foe, but sometimes is most dangerous when the single bee stuck in the swimming pool appears harmless enough, but is simply a trap for the entire hive.  Public education is on a declining trend and its advocates are seeking the good name of the very few to loot their collective value for their perpetual salvation.  However, eventually just like money, good deeds do run out and once the good stop offering themselves up as sacrificial victims to the merits of collectivism, the communists, the thugs, and the social parasites will have nowhere left to turn as they are then exposed for lack of anything to hide themselves behind.  This is the nature, and frustration of the note sent to me from an education advocate who can’t fathom such a realization.  But even if the skill is not present to see the facts, the facts exist and will not go away just because pro education supporters wish them to.  Once the masks of goodness are stripped away from individual analysis, what becomes quickly evident is that the teaching profession is filled from the top to the bottom with parasites, thugs, and communists.  This leaves the next statement which should then be obvious to all—what will society do to protect themselves from this diabolical menace that unleashes upon all society an invisible attack designed to conquer the minds of children before anybody ever realizes it?  The first step is to not approve tax increases, and from there let the system collapse on itself.  The way to destroy the bee hive is not to become filled with compassion for one single bee, but to see the threat as a whole.  In this case, every public school in America is a bee hive filled with busy bees functioning as a collective unit for the manufacture of honey.  But in these schools the honey is not the kind consumed as food, but is taxes for the solitary consumption of the federal government and their statist policies of doom concocted with tyranny in mind sold to the public through promises of comfort…………and goodness.

 

Notice how all those lip dub videos were published around the same time as Lakota did their video.  Lakota wasn’t doing anything new.  They were just copying off everyone else like all collective organisms do, and that is what they are teaching children.

Common Core at Lakota: Jaden Smith “School Is The Tool To Brainwash The Youth”

The reason I have been pointing out recently the excessive popularity centering on the war games from Fantasy Flight Games is that there is an obvious social shift that modern statists are not observing.  The amount of people who are rushing out to purchase new updates of the new Star Wars Miniatures game is quite astonishing.  The reason is that when I was a kid, it was very unpopular to be such a geek and openly play Star Wars games, or even Dungeons and Dragons.  That kind of activity came with a kind of social stigma that was negative.  If a young person didn’t play a sport, or hang out with a certain kind of popular personality type, they were on the out and thought of as social rejects.  But in 2013 that stigma is all but gone.  To get a sense of what I’m talking about watch the video below which was an annual address given by Fantasy Flight Games at the recent Gen Con in Indianapolis.  Pay particular attention to the 41 minute mark of the video and measure the crowd reaction.

I find that an important observation for the simple reason that within ten years there will be a dramatic shift in public sentiment toward the traditions of public education, especially the benefit of extra-curricular activities like football and cheerleading.  As the college bubble busts, millions of kids realizing they are not going to get a scholarship to a school that will only waste their time will not submit to the age-old scam of public education funding. When the youth of the current generation, the age of young people who are rushing out to purchase the latest Fantasy Flight Game offering, there will not be sympathetic ears to future levy requests and the type of tripe offered by the Lakota school system shown below attempting to sell the benefits of Common Core instruction to a gullible public.Common Core Curriculum 1


Common Core is a statist education system, and those who support it typically see big government solutions to family problems.  They envision the school stepping in to a family to save the child from a future their parents are not qualified to provide—at least as defined by the statist.  The pro and con selections above are clearly in favor of preserving the present education system—which a year or two ago might have upset me greatly.  But there is a trend forming that the supporters of Common Core and public education in general has not yet identified—the trend that can be seen in gaming circles where young people from age 15 to 30 are gathering to play games like Magic the Gathering, X-Wing, and War Hammer.  Those gamers are not raising families as their predecessors did many years ago, the types of people who attended the Cherokee Elementary meeting about Common Core shown in the above documents.  Those previous generations loved the social activity of public school, the bands, the cheerleading and the football.  The next generation doesn’t care so much, and it shows.  There’s nothing in a Friday night football game for them when it is far more exciting to play a war game with friends over pizza.Common Core Curriculum Page 1 of 2

When I was a kid, only remote pockets of people did these kinds of things, playing games and indulging in “anti-social” behavior which was the typical stereotypes of Dungeon and Dragon players.  Most everyone else craved to “be seen” at the football game parents and students alike.  In this way, the school was the center piece of a community, and the labor unions took advantage of the social addiction with high taxes for wages that were clearly inflated.  Increasingly, the demographic group who plays Fantasy Flight types of games and video games is changing the marketplace.  Speaking with these people increasingly with my experiences playing X-Wing there is a noticeable rebellion against school centered activity.  I do not see today’s X-Wing, and Magic players sitting in a future meeting of Common Core education and listening like mindless drones to the diatribes of big government school board types.  I see a rejection of state centered education in favor of alternatives.

Jaden Smith represents well this new emerging public school sentiment from the upcoming generation.  Jaden might be best known as the star of the remake of “The Karate Kid” and for his lifelong role as the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, but the 15-year-old is also starring in his own online controversy after sounding off against America’s education system, calling school a brainwashing tool.  And guess what………….It should come as no surprise, but as a 45-year-old man, I agree with the young fellow.  He’s dead right.Common Core Curriculum Page 2 of 2

Jaden tweeted to his more than 4.5 million followers on Sept. 12, “School Is The Tool To Brainwash The Youth” and “If Newborn Babies Could Speak They Would Be The Most Intelligent Beings On Planet Earth.”

Jaden, 15, is considered Hollywood royalty, being a friend of Justin Bieber and dating a sister of the Kardashians, Kylie Jenner, but some people say he is setting a bad example with his comments.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2013/09/jaden-smith-finds-wisdom-in-everybody-dropping-out-of-school/

Jaden Smith’s opinion is rather typical of the gaming crowd—a crowd that is growing rapidly.  Again, when I was a kid, nobody spoke the way Smith did.  Nobody wanted to be considered a “social outcast.”  But increasingly, it is cool to be against statism, and to play table-top war games and World of Warcraft late into the night.  Those people once they become property owners of their own and get married are likely to plug their children into a computer and homeschool them so that they can save the expense of paying for fees at a public school for typical sports programs, and transportation costs.  The parents of tomorrow won’t be whisking their children off to soccer games to satisfy some silly social imposition of public opinion—they will be playing games with their kids at their dinner tables and staying home to save the money so they can buy more games from Fantasy Flight Games.

I bought a new B-Wing fighter over the weekend from the Wave 3 release of Star Wars: X-Wing.  The store owner told me that his shipment of 50 arrived on Thursday and were gone by Sunday.  I bought his last one. Ten years ago, I along with a handful of others would have been the only ones to make such a purchase.  Today, there are at least 50 in three days.  Ten years from now, it will be commonplace, and high school sports will be the rarity.  The social gains made in public school that were so important to previous generations are dying on the vine, and Common Core, with all the cheerleading by statists for it, is an education system that is currently on the life support of extraordinary high taxes paid by a sympathetic generation who still sees public schools as the center of communities.  But at Yattaquest in Mt. Healthy on a Friday night, or Gamestop any day of the week, an entirely new voting bloc is emerging, and they feel about public school the same as what Jaden Smith does.  When they grow up and have property and their own families, they won’t listen to the kind of Common Core presentations that Joan Powell and company performed at Lakota with the above documents.


Public education may win a victory here and there, but the nail is already in their coffin.  The youth of today will not support it in the future the way that other generations have because they have seen the scam firsthand.  The statists who advance the myth that public education and society in general are the pillars of a community are going to learn in the very near future the folly of their beliefs.  To see the future, visit a war game store on the weekend and study the type of people who are so passionate about those games.  Society may call them nerds, but they are smart, because their hobby demands they use their brains, and they see through the veil of statist education programs like Common Core—and they won’t bite on the bait thrown into the tax increase waters.  They won’t care if the statists call them names such as selfish, greedy, or anti-social.  Because all they will care about is having enough money to purchase a new pack of Magic the Gathering, or X-Wing Miniatures.  To them, the schools can rot away into oblivion and free the children who are imprisoned within their clutches of unthinking tyranny.

The Communist Teachings At Lakota: Superintendent Mantia Protects Teacher Wages

The scouting report at Lakota regarding all things campaign related is that I am a narcissist that thrives in the spotlight and the way to win this next election is to diffuse me without engagement—so not to play into my strengths.  Lakota as a progressive institution find it appalling that any individual would see themselves as “bigger “than their socially centered school.  On the other hand, my scouting report on Lakota is that they are the narcissists as a collective organization who believes they are the center of the community, and that they are acting on behalf of what’s good.  The reality is that they are a cancerous leech that uses children to drive unionized government workers into inflated wages and have tied themselves over time to real estate values as a back-up to their child extortion racket.  As a progressive organization they were set up years ago to fulfill the communist infiltration of America after McCarthy overplayed his hand—and the insurgents were emboldened by the public support of their cause which followed.  Communism sought to infiltrate the public school system through the teacher unions and advance progressive goals, and there was never a finer example of this trait than the article by Superintendent Mantia in this week’s Today’s Pulse.

To know how ridiculously misleading and parasitic the Lakota school system intends to make itself upon the community which is its host it is important to read the quarter page public awareness column that the community newspaper gives to Lakota’s Superintendent each week.  This latest week, as much as their campaign strategy has been designed to diffuse my “narcissism” Mantia acknowledges that she is reading here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom frequently, because she addressed several of my recent points made upon these pages.  Her topic this week was a proposal to reduce fees in extracurricular activities so to increase student participation.  But first she felt she needed to set the record straight on the value of teachers who volunteer their time—“for a small fee of course”—to provide students with extracurricular activities.  She said, “Many, though not all of our extra-curriculars are guided by our teachers.  They earn a small amount of extra money for doing it, but the vast majority put in far more hours than they’re required to, because they love what they’re doing and know how much it means to kids.  Per-hour our coaches and advisors could make far more money working at any fast food restaurant.”  The most dangerous part of that statement is that Mantia is a quarter million dollar member of Lakota’s management team and they are preparing to engage the labor union in 2014 contract negotiations.  Mantia clearly is on the side of the teachers and the union based on just the statement she provided above—so anyone hoping that Lakota will put up a good fight against the union can wake up.  Mantia is a former teacher, and she is on the business side of teachers.  The management at Lakota is bought and paid for by the labor union and they are just “narcissistic” enough to believe that the residents of Lakota are stupid enough to supplement their scam with higher taxes.

Mantia goes on to say, “The two qualities we see young people develop so often in extra-curricular activities are leadership and teamwork.  They also learn the value of sacrifice and hard work, and often, other life lessons.  They may have to accept that they may not always be the star.  Sometimes they will have other roles to fill.”  She goes on for several more paragraphs with the same kind of progressive drivel for the next quarter page in the newspaper in that same fashion neglecting to report that the causes for the high fees imposed upon students and their families in the first place are due to her mismanagement.  She chose to raise sports fees to punish parents for voting down Lakota’s previous three levies, and not ask the teachers and other Lakota employees to take a 5% pay cut which was proposed by No Lakota Levy after the levy defeats.  Instead she advised the rest of Lakota’s management to raise sports fees to protect the teachers who work under her from unnecessary public scrutiny over their average salaries of 63K per year.  She chose protecting the highly paid public employees over the community health then, and now to appear as though she were doing the community a favor ahead of the fourth levy attempt, she is floating the idea of being “compassionate” so that she can earn votes for a levy allowing her to throw that money gained straight at her upcoming union contract—which she already blew the negotiations by revealing her pro-teacher position—which for those who know her was a foregone conclusion.  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FINANCIAL FACTS ABOUT THE UPCOMING LEVY.

Mantia had the audacity to state that her teachers would make more money working at a fast food restaurant then they would be paid to stick around a few extra hours a day to teach kids during extra-curricular activities.  For those who aren’t so good at math, with an average salary of 63K per year, the teachers average approximately $30 dollars an hour, so teachers can make a lot of extra cash off their “extra-curricular sacrifices.”   But what’s worse in Mantia’s comments are the things she values from these experiences which come straight out of the progressive playbook, sacrifice, team-work and other “shared values.”

The statements about communist penetration of our public schools have been underway for many years, so long that it is doubtful that Mantia has the intellectual history to grapple with the issues.  She and her teachers are paid well to not pay attention to the “big picture” only to teach it.  She was raised into the system and knows of nothing else.  The attack against America was subtle, and occurred before her time.   She believes she is sticking up for her employees with her comments and support of another tax increase against the community.  But she is the one who’s narcissistic, and wrong.  My father-in-law was visiting over the weekend and told me the story of how on Friday he was called into a school district where he lives in Kentucky as a substitute—a very affluent district that is the home of many thoroughbred owners.  The demographics there are very similar to Lakota.  He was called in to teach as he has been a teacher for public schools for several decades, and now in his later years does it only as a substitute.  He holds several degrees, one of them a Master’s in geology.  He reported his anger to me upon seeing two of the topics given by an advanced English teacher to their class written on the chalk board, one on the merits of Marxism, the other on the merits of feminism.  Students had to pick one of those two topics to write about.  It wasn’t hidden with subtle dialogue the way that Lakota hides their progressive educations, because there isn’t a narcissistic Rich Hoffman in my father-in-law’s school district to call them out, so they recklessly placed their agenda up on the chalk board for all to see.  He was aghast at what his very affluent public school was teaching children and his obvious question—why wasn’t there a third topic about capitalism to choose from?  The answer was that public schools are not about American traditional values, they are about collapsing economies and advancing fairness for all—at the expense of productivity.  They are about higher taxes through schools as a way to redistribute income from one sector of the economy to another and they advance their agenda recklessly through the narcissism of the parents who support a large centralized institution that is simply a parasite upon the community.  Those parents believe that in exchange for their support of people like Superintendent Mantia, and the 63K per year teachers at Lakota, that their child will escape a life of mediocrity and become successful adults.  But what those parents discover too late is that the taxes raised are intended to be spent on teaching their children the merits of sacrifice—of sharing their wealth for the benefit of others.  What their children are learning, which was confirmed in the comments of Superintendent Mantia in the Sunday, September 15, 2013 edition of Today’s Pulse of Butler County, is that kids are learning to work hard for the sacrifice of others so that collective society can advance fulfilling the aims of communists many years ago.  These school officials will mislead, manipulate, and stoop to any low to advance the progressive platform.

The fight of our day is not in Syria, Russia, or even the Middle East, it is in our public schools where saboteurs are using our money stolen from property taxes to convert our children into socialists through an advanced communist plot hatched before Superintendent Mantia was even born.  She is paid to advance that plot and look not too closely at their intentions—which is driven by government for the service of government with the ultimate example of narcissism provided anywhere.  And it is our task to put an end to their scheme.  There is no hiding it now; they are out in the open with their intentions.   All that is required now is to admit that such sinister plots are at play and they intend to feed off the innocent minds of our children for a social goal that is not in their best interest.  As Mantia said in her article, sometimes kids need to “learn the value of sacrifice and hard work, and often, other life lessons.  They may have to accept that they may not always be the star.  Sometimes they will have other roles to fill.”  Those roles under communism are to work hard for the benefit of the greater good, a greater good that is determined by mother government for the benefit of itself and the employees who make it grow.

A Morning In Liberty Township: Celebrating a backyard fantasy land of creativity and life yet to live

IMG_8055I usually wake up at 5 AM every morning to begin my day, and I am often alone with the early morning noises that accompany a sunrise.  I never tire of mornings.  There is something optimistic about every one of them that I find endlessly enduring.  Every start of a new day is a hope for something that was better than the day before.  However, over the weekend I awoke to find my wife still up, not yet having gone to bed, baking and preparing for a mammoth day of celebration that occurred at my oldest daughter’s home—a celebration of my youngest daughter’s first born son paying tribute to his first birthday.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW THE DAY HE WAS BORN.   My daughters created for our first grandson a complete conversion of their Liberty Twp home into a story book themed party inviting both sides of the family to a mythological exercise that will lay the path for static patterns lasting a lifetime.  For the many birthdays that follow, my grandson will have this first one to launch him onto a lifelong quest of adventure, curiosity, and creativity.

In our family creativity is extremely important.  I raised my girls on the idea of creative enterprise even when the world no longer values such things because the benefits extend well into more remote aspects of individual lives.   As little girls my wife and I would allow them to convert the entire house into the concepts of their creative thoughts.  My girls had access to the entire basement to create anything they wished any time they desired.  If their creative enterprises took them into the late hours, we let them do it without restriction.  This followed a tradition my mom started with me, allowing me to do much the same, only on a smaller scale.  The belief was that the mind being active had value on a young person and that value would translate over into other aspects of their lives.  It was certainly true for me.  I did so much of it that many adults were deeply concerned when I arrived into my teenage years showing no desire for pop rock music, girls, or fashion of any kind.  I didn’t care about school, or the people I knew there because I was more content to live within the world of my own making, than in sharing my space with others.  The creativity that I had as a young person was the first foundation I had into self-reliance.  When some of those adults decided that I needed to grown up, and took away all that creativity, I gave them a string of violent years in protest which really never went away.IMG_7933

For my children I never restricted them in manners of creativity.  Over many years I have known many very affluent families in Indian Hill, Northern Kentucky, and other similar places where their wealth afforded them the luxury of eccentricities.  I have known entertainment types on both American coasts who make their livings off creativity, and host grand extravaganzas at great expense for their children and grandchildren.  But all such events and people fell short of what my daughters did for my grandson, for reasons that defy conventional logic.  As adults, and for the first time in their lives my wife and two children all shared equally in creative input as each are extremely gifted at different crafting skills, which was why my wife had baked, and cooked for a straight 30 hours without going to bed or resting.  She even forgot to eat all day Friday in preparation for our grandson’s birthday.  Her mind was in rapture with creative enterprise as the cake, and various other extravagant deserts she prepared had her mind working on overdrive.IMG_7713

My daughters meanwhile where busy at work transferring their Liberty Township home into a storybook setting of a living mythological significance.  Most everything cooked was done by either my wife or daughters, and every decoration was made or built by an immediate family member meaning my children or one of their husbands.  Nothing was store bought directly.  Everything was made by hand only for the event of my grandson’s first birthday.  There was no financial reward at the end of the endeavor, not a single bit of it was done with a fiscal concern.  The entire effort was performed for the solitary reason of launching the young fellow into a life filled with creativity unhindered by convention.

When I was a kid, my mother was a room mother at school hoping that it would engage me more in my classes which I found grotesquely boring.  I hated every moment of school, starting as early as kindergarten.  My teachers noticed my obvious athletic ability early on, but more than even that, they found I was very artistically inclined.  My art projects were always the features hanging up in class for all to see as my teachers hoped to use me to show what a good job they were doing, and hoped to inspire other students to do the same—which none of them could of course.  The reason is that I learned my creativity at home, from my mother who would do multiple craft projects all the time.  As a room mother for our holiday parties, she would do elaborate gifts to give all the kids in my class.  She did this until I was in the fourth grade and every kid wanted her for a mother.  Many of them acted like the little craft gifts she brought to school to give them were the best things they had ever received in their lives.  For some, it was.  Even some of those young kids who would grow up and become wealthy, driving Ferraris and indulging in the rewards of fiscal surplus never forgot the wonderful things that Mrs. Hoffman did for them during their grade school holiday parties.  The reason is that many of their parents were just beginning to accept the progressive dual income role that is now the standard today and they had no parents at home who did nice things for them—because the parents were too busy.

I made a point with my own children to make sure they at least had what I had—hopefully more.   I made it so that my wife was always home, and my children had unlimited creativity to indulge in to build their brains.  My children when they were little came home from school, and went straight into the basement where they built entire cities out of wood, cardboard, and putty.  This went on until they were essentially graduated from high school.   My wife extended the tradition my mom had started and provided for my children–an unlimited creative environment.  My wife, a creative bastion herself makes blankets, clothing, cakes, and exotic foods and is a limitless resource of creativity that mixes style and fashion perfectly.  When she was a teenage girl she was a model for the John Casablanca School of Modeling and had parents who had wonderfully high tastes.  She was set to become a fashion model in New York—until she met me.  That sense of style helped shape my kids from the raw creativity that I had, into a careful balance of fashion that my wife brought to the table.  The result has been the best of the two worlds.  The culmination of that experience was seen at the magnificent party my children put on for my grandson—and extended family.IMG_7793

The intention was not to impress anybody, not me, not the family, not their neighbors—nobody.  My children simply wanted to participate in the act of creation with the opportunity to provide for my grandson a life that holds all possibilities that the mind might possibly generate.  Many might think that the little boy will never remember the events—that such an extravaganza was a waste of time.  But they fail to understand that even though the brain does not consciously remember, it unconsciously writes information upon itself forming the static patterns of an individual’s life.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW STATIC PATTERNS.  This is why it is so important to put good things into a brain even during sleep so that good things come out of the mind.IMG_7708

Driving home the other day on my motorcycle a very expensive Harley Davidson pulled up alongside me with its radio blaring.   Normally motorcycle riders wave to one another, but this guy didn’t want to look at me.  He was a middle aged guy, bald, fat around the middle, and he had a mustache typical of cops and firefighters.  Sure enough by the stickers on the back of his motorcycle he displayed several showing that he belonged to a firefighter’s union.  He seemed to recognized me because of my heavily anti-union stance, especially among cops, firefighters, and teachers.  He was playing classic rock on his Harley radio very loud and truly thought he was cool.   I looked at him directly laughing hoping to engage him, but he refused to look my way.  He was an example of garbage in, garbage out.  Young people in their 20’s can put garbage into their minds and hide the results from the rest of the world because they are only a few years away from their childhoods—from the constant positive messages aimed at kids through toy commercials, and  popular entertainment.  But after abusing themselves from 18 to 30 with careless sex, terrible music, and chemical intoxicants such as marijuana and alcohol the effects begin to show by age 31 to 40.  By the time those individuals are 40 to 60 they look like beat up sacks of garbage that have been drug behind a truck for twenty years.  Their cell structures rebel against years of abuse and their small minds cannot give any other command to their bodies but to look like chaotic messes.  They are often fat, smelly, and look sickly.  This rider was a victim of many years of bad decisions and his music was an attempt to carry him back to the beginning of his life, to his morning years.  In his mind he hoped that a young 20-year-old girl who is at her own beginning might find him appealing.  But the young girls only see a ruined old man—fat, ugly, hairy in all the wrong places, and a follower of other such men because he’s so proud of his “union brotherhood.”  The girls laugh and snicker sending photo texts to their girlfriends making fun of the Harley rider as they pull up next to the guy at stop lights.IMG_7699

The reason my daughters put on such an elaborate party for my grandson was to give him the start of a life that carries him far away from the fate of people like the Harley rider.  It was to launch him into a lifelong quest of creativity that will take him further than any of us have been able to go thus far.  The extravagance was not to impress, but to repeal a society that does not value such things—which is why society is struggling with so many personal issues.   The party was intended to write upon the young boy’s static patterns a brain activity that carries him to new heights not yet known, for a life that has possibilities only experienced through boundless creativity.IMG_7692

I am proud of them and all their work.  They did what they did not for a single ounce of social gratitude, but for the unsaid mysteries that feed the human mind of a young child.  Birthdays are a celebration of life and in our family; life is meant to be lived not squandered.  It would be a failure if my grandson grew up and became like the unionized Harley rider, middle aged and still stuck mentally at the age of 15, and still looking for girls the same age.  The work my family did was to insure against that tragic scenario, to guarantee that our grandson will grow up to reach for the stars instead of another bottle of Jack Daniels and become just another adult porn addict.  My wife stayed up all day and night cooking and baking to make sure that her grandson can begin the second year of his life with the knowledge that life can be whatever you make it to be.  Learning to make life good starts by developing creativity at an early age. Creativity can be applied not just toward career goals but in every aspect of life from the time that a person wakes up in the morning until they journey off to sleep each night.IMG_7751

I love mornings because like my grandson’s life, they hold infinite possibilities for creative use toward goals only a human being can conger up.  I never tire of their infinite possibilities as the sun gradually grows brighter throughout the day.  I am proud of the party not only for my grandson’s life, but for the rest of my family, who contributed, from my mom who went against the grain when the rest of the world was going to their jobs to be the mom every kid in school wanted.  IMG_7751I gave that to my fashion model wife who gave even more of that creativity to my own kids.  While at Disney World over this past summer, my children hatched this birthday party by looking at the way Downtown Disney was decorated and decided to elaborate further into their own backyard for my grandson’s first birthday.  I am proud to have watched the creative arc occur over many decades culminating at this wonderful event, dedicated to a life lived, not squandered to faceless decay.  As my reference to the Harley rider shows distain, it is because in the morning of his life, he chose to waste it, and the cost of his waste is evident now, no matter how shiny the motorcycle, or loud the radio.  For my grandson, the first steps into his life will more than guarantee that his life will not be wasted as the day of his life lengthens and gets warmer, and busier muddled with complexity.  The intention of the party was so that when he arrives at bed at the end of the day he can rest his head knowing that he lived his day fully, and utilized every measure of what is offered to the mind that thinks creatively.

What Is Meant by Having “Thin Skin”: Stealing value from those who have it

It has always come up, and for whatever reason lately, has come up more often than usual, the notion of having a “thin skin.”  The insinuation is that one should develop a “thick skin” and yield to insults of whatever kind for the purpose of collective opinion.  Most of the world functions on this premise; however I disagree with it vehemently.  I take name calling as a challenge to combat, otherwise it wouldn’t be attempted—for that is the real meaning behind the action.  Yet our modern American interpretation of name calling and subtle slander is to assimilate the individual into group oriented behavior—to do as the drill sergeant does and drive out individual ego from a task and replace it with group assimilation.  When the term “thin skin” is used, most of the time it is because the accuser wishes to impose upon another the destruction of individual ego so that they yield to collective enterprise.

When the issue of bullying is addressed in public schools, this is almost always the root cause.  Schools do not know what to do about bullying because they are institutions of compliance, and require the destruction of individual ego.  They generate bullying behavior by their very nature of existence.  So they hope to curb the most violent forms of bullying with rules which never work, because the desire of institutionalism craves more the compliance of ego destruction than the compliance of rules to serve the whims of individuals.  So as along as public schools exist in their current form, bullying will always occur.  There is nothing a teacher, an administrator, or a parent can do about the issue.

In the military, bullying is used heavily during basic training.   Personal insults are flung at individuals to strip them of their ego.  The military mind molder then replaces the stripped away ego with compliance to greater causes associated with sacrifice to the group.  Colleges do the same in their hazing rituals for the similar reasons.  This is why such large portions of functioning adults have duality issues in their lives—why so many of them feel individually unsatisfied, ethically, sexually, intellectually when they are alone and are driven like moths to fire at social circles of group assimilation in order to find personal comfort, which never fully comes.  They drink, get drunk, pop anti-depression medicine, or indulge themselves in some type of television prime time fiction, or fantasy sports selection to compensate their personal loss.  The human craving of such activity comes from the destruction of their individual egos—and usually at the young age of grade school.

The entire human race past the age of 15 years of age expects group yielding to some degree or another.  It has been pounded into our minds from a young age and the results are terribly obvious.  Personal depression is driven by the need to align the values of individual ego with the social imposition of group assimilation.  The desire to fulfill the empty goals of any group whether it be in a business enterprise where the underlings structure their lives around sucking up to their boss for the needs of the company rather than the drives of their individuality.  The boss should not be surprised when they discover that a parade of incompetents work for their company.  The boss hired individuals to fulfill certain tasks, yet those employees have built their lives around group pecking order, becoming obsessed with who is where on an organizational chart, believing falsely that the title one holds provides the merit of value for a job done—and those titles are given out by the boss—so sucking up might provide such merit.  Both parties miss what they are looking for in the relationship, the boss loses because they end up hiring incompetent staff members who bring nothing to an enterprise but bobble heads who nod in agreement not because they agree with the boss, but because they want the titles the boss is entitled to provide to those deemed worthy.  Because the boss often thinks the same way, they often give such titles to those who are most prone to assimilation to their organization—and failure ensues.

When I was young as is still the case, I did not accept this assimilation.  In sports I sabotaged my own career because I would not allow myself to be assimilated into the group.  I refused the snippy comments and personal insults from my coaches thinking they were making me better with violence earning me the nickname of “animal.”  The older I got, the worse it got until coaches stopped trying to involve me.  They wanted my athletic ability but I was just too much of a pain for the “team” they were trying to build.  In class, I didn’t accept it from teachers.  One example was an English teacher who was late every morning for home room class.  This went on for months. The entire class had to stand outside waiting for the teacher to arrive.  I felt as an individual that this was wrong, because it disrespected the individual rights of the other kids, and it made me very angry.  So one morning when this teacher arrived to class—late, they discovered that the lock to their classroom door was packed shut with chewing gum, so that a key would not unlock the door.  My message to the teacher was that if they wanted to ensure they could unlock their door in the morning, they better arrive early to protect it from sabotage.  It took half a day to get a locksmith to open the door, which I had packed with gum in full view of everyone.  Of course some of the students told the authorities on me as they were seeking favoritism from the teacher in a similar way that businessman kisses ass to work their way up the institutional ladder.  They want the authority figure to grant the titles not based on individual effort, but by degree of personal sacrifice to the organization as a whole.  I got into a lot of trouble, but it didn’t stop the behavior.  I went on with a group of friends to set off fireworks in the halls under student’s feet within the very next week, and had frequent fights with other students.  I sought to sabotage authority any way possible.  It wasn’t that I went out looking for trouble, but was simply protecting my individuality against group assimilation.

As an adult I am very happy, and healthy.  I’m in my middle years now, I take no medicine for depression, heart disease, or any other physical aliment.  And while many my age seem to rely on Viagra to maintain their bedroom stamina, I couldn’t imagine having such a stupid problem—and don’t need it.  I don’t drink, I don’t over eat, I don’t lose sleep at night over social issues, I could care less what my neighbors are doing so long as they don’t bother me.  And I could sit for entire weekends totally alone and not get enough “me” time.   I love myself, and I am happy I do.  The result is that I have much love to give my family because the value of “love” is generated by my ego—which is uniquely preserved.  Part of the preservation is in not tolerating attempts to assimilate my behavior to the whims of group compliance.

When it is said that such people have “thin skin” this is what the accusers hate, they wish to see a person who will yield their individuality to group goals instead of an individual pulling the group toward their goals.  When it is wondered by the masses what the invisible qualities of leadership are, the root is in the ability of individuals to get groups to follow them.  But leaders are not provided in this fashion by titles given by a boss.  Leaders have intact egos that can bend the will of broken intellects to their desires by sheer force—the force is in unifying conquered souls toward a goal the individual leader desires.   Really good leaders can do the same with individuals as well, and I am of this latter category.   Because of my background that is often dripped with blood I learned how to achieve leadership without destroying the individuality of the participants.  The spilt blood was worth the value, because the skill is unique in modern America, and it serves me well.  That value wasn’t given to me by anybody; it is something I gave myself by not allowing my ego to be stripped away by group assimilators at any point in my life.

The same rules hold today.  I don’t worry what people say behind my back, but if they engage me directly, they will get a fight—100% of the time.  It is a personal policy that I have for my life to protect it against the forces of group assimilation which I have determined is one of the most corrosive forces in the known universe.  At times when I have found myself at Walgreens to get a passport picture, or just to pick up some small grocery item I continue to be amazed at the long lines of people seeking doctor prescriptions for ailments that are mostly psychological.  Most of the morbidly obese, the headache prone, the depression driven, the faulty heart conditions of those seeking Walgreen prescriptions, and even the blue pill popping men who desire to keep a four-hour erection for 5 minutes of bedroom engagement with their wives are driven to their multiple forms of insanity because of their stripped away egos which they yielded to group compliance imposed upon them by name calling.  Of course my attitude has put me before many court judges who threatened years in jail if I did not become more compliant, but I always presented to them the perilous dilemma, which I covered in my novel Tail of the Dragon.   I was always basically a good person, with moral authority on my side.  The cost of putting my non compliant behavior into a locked up area is greater for them than against me, so they have elected not to do it.  In times when blood has been spilt and bodies were broken, it was cheaper for the statist system to yield to the individual, because the refusal to yield in a locked up environment means death and liability for the captors—and knowing that they were looking at a pure example of goodness, they elected not to impose that cost on themselves. Thus, the benefit of being an individual in a socially broken world full of followers who are lost if they don’t have a leader in their lives to issue out merit for unearned action.  Name calling is the first step into removing ego from individuals for the benefit of group assimilation.  The loss of ego destroys individuals and robs the gifts that personalities have to give to their families, their friends, their companies, but worst of all, themselves.  Such victims die a slow death beginning in their grade school years once they start yielding to authority instead of fighting to preserve themselves.

So I have a strict policy against assault, I don’t allow it, verbally, or physically.  It is not my duty to learn to take it for some mythical “greater good,” yielding to the needs of institutionalism.  The by-product is that I have unique gifts to offer, and those who know me best, understand how much it enriches their lives—and institutions.  But the benefits cannot be understood without the context of leadership and what makes someone a “natural leader” and what makes others just kiss-ass administrators as worthless as toilet paper—the tragedy of our current society is in their lack of ability to know the difference because they are functioning from the wrong motivations in their lives given to them by faulty educations at an early age.  It is for these reasons that I have a zero tolerance policy for personal insult, and why many refer to my behavior has being “thin skinned” as if it were my social duty to allow impositions from inferiors to loot my value to bolster their own deflated egos with the value of my personal worth.  The term, “thin skin” is just another name calling attempt to do for the egos what Viagra does for their genitals, and that is something I won’t allow—and never will.
