How to Beat the Bilderberg Group: Become a Modern Superhero with the power of “NO”

At a recent meeting I attended a deep dark controversial topic came up among the mainstream attendees, that of the Bilderberg group and to what extent they desired to subvert the American Constitution. The answer in fact is that the Bilderberg group, who is about to have their 2012 meeting in America is a serious threat to world-wide liberty as they plan to eliminate the American Constitution in favor of a global agreement. But their conspiracy is but one force that is working against us all. The real threat is actually ourselves, because the Bilderberg group, the communists, the global socialists, the bleeding heart greenie weenies, and every other subversive organization in existence can only take from free people what we give them willingly.

Alex Jones did an interview where the topic of re-education camp plans by the American military have been leaked and are quite official. So to my readers here from the newspapers, the television stations, the mainstream radio commentators who are curious, but wish the world would just concentrate on last night’s sports scores, this is a clear and present danger in American culture and it has happened right under our noses. While the topic of the Bilderberg group is considered by these mainstream reporters to be fringe right-winged conspiracy theory, the real threat has actually been our “compliant” culture willing to please others before ourselves by saying “YES” to every proposal placed before us by groups like the Bilderberg. This human tendency has paved the way for the enemies of America to conceive that re-education camps are a feasible option for population control. The re-education camps that have been speculated about for years are the natural next step after their horrendous power grab called the NDAA. (CLICK HERE FOR MORE)

Yes dear reader, the cat is out of the back officially. It is true that members of our own government wish to send Americans to these camps to pave the way for the deals they have made with the Bilderberg group, and dozens of other global organizations who are all maneuvering themselves to become the first rulers of the world. That is the endgame to these treacherous plots and should surprise nobody. These plots are as old as the human race.

But these advancements against the American people are not coming from gunpoint; they come from our weaknesses for “peace” and our naiveté toward “trust.” They come from the same forces that will lie to your face to get a school levy passed by telling voters that all the money is for the “kids,” and not the huge labor unions who funnel the money they rape from the taxpayers back to political control of their socialist party of choice called the Democrats. The same game has been used to virtually destroy our freedoms since 9/11 with the invention of the government jobs program called the TSA where slop witted thugs in baby blue outfits have become the ultimate mall cops of authority gaining the ability to molest Americans all in the pursuit of “safety” over “freedom.” And the current President of the United States openly lies and manipulates all of us by attempting to blame congress for everything that has happened when it was in fact a Democrat controlled house in the first two years that gave the President everything he wanted and rammed down the throats of the American people vast tyrannies in quantities that drown the average American intellect with subjects beyond comprehension. All these tyrannies count on the good faith, and desire to appease a puppet master with compliance to succeed.

Yes, the Bilderberg group is meeting in the United States to plan a gradual takeover of the American population so they can put down the last bastion of freedom loving beings on planet earth with a quest to resume the methods of European global conquest displayed in the Dark Ages. Many of the Bilderberg attendances are simply rich philanthropists participating in altruism masking their own psychological inadequacies with various forms of collectivism. And they hope to erase the sins of their power mongering with an infantile view of collective salvation which they require society to subscribe to in order to be successful.

Luckily for all Americans the solution to our problems does not require us to take up arms against these enemies, because we already have the ultimate weapon to use against them, and they know it. We do not have to attack any agents of collective law with violence, or harass the members of these silly Bilderberg punks with threats of violence. We simply have to learn to say “NO” when a politician asks us for something.

The most powerful weapon of the modern age is to learn to say, “NO.” It’s that easy. Say “NO” to your local school levy where your government school is programming your child to global socialism. Say “NO” to your police and fire levies because they are represented by labor unions with deep ties to communism (progressivism), and it will be those public servants who will come to arrest you under the NDAA Act. But they can’t arrest you if they don’t have a job to begin with. Say “NO” to their budgets because you still have the power to do so. Say “NO” to communism in America by voting out the most radical activist to ever sit in the White House, President Obama. And if you don’t like the Republican alternative to say “NO” to him as well, say “NO” to party politics completely. Say “NO” to all further tax increases even to the so-called rich. Force the idiots of government to live within a budget and let them die on the vine from starvation. Say “NO” to air travel when you can and drive instead. Don’t put up with the tyrannical TSA and their intrusive searches. Let them be all dressed up with no place to go, or nobody to “feel up.” Say “NO” to government mandated insurance of ANY kind, especially health insurance. The worst weapon that can be inflicted upon the tyrant intent on American destruction comes not from the barrel of a gun, but from the simple word, “NO.”

Dear reader, you have nothing to fear from the Bilderberg punks if you could only learn to say, “NO.” It is that easy. As of 2012, you still have the power to end all these threats to your existence by saying “NO” when asked for your cooperation in ending global terrorism by surrendering your freedom. Because the threats are very real, and the groups wishing to commit these encroachments are quite sinister in their intentions. Eliminating just the Bilderberg group will not end the threat. They will simply form a new group of philanthropists and “intellectuals” to construct yet another plot to take over the world at our expense. But the way to beat them all is to learn to say “NO” and to become proud in your power to say it. Because that simple word has the power to destroy every enemy working against America with an efficiency more robust than an atomic bomb, the collateral damage from such a blast is negligible leaving only the enemies of freedom destroyed, and those who love freedom left to exist by the terms of “Truth, Justice, and the AMERICAN way,” because to me, there is no other way, but the “American.” To every other way of life and their offerings, I simply say, “NO.”

Become a modern superhero, by harnessing the power to say, “NO.”

Lakota Teacher Accused of Stealing from Kids: $800 looted from prom tickets

Yes you heard it correctly, a Lakota East teacher who made more than $65,443 per year, (Yes, she’s on my list CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF) stole $800,00 from the prom fund. Well, she resigned this week and Lakota attempted to put a nice spin on the situation by stating that they were cooperating with the Butler County Sheriff Department. You can read the article from The Cincinnati Enquirer here:

http://westchesterbuzz.com/2012/05/11/lakota-teacher-investigated-over-prom-funds/

My sources from deep inside the Lakota administration have informed me that this economics-psychology teacher is now in the psych ward at a hospital and a family member has returned $160 of the $800 stolen. So there appears to be some deep problems with this particular teacher.

But just remember when Lakota attempts to pass another levy to pay for their inflated union contracts protecting teachers who are hiding behind the protective blanket of organized labor–that the teachers are far from being perfect, and I’d argue that most of them aren’t even close to being worth over $65K per year in just salary. This particular teacher made over $65,000 on the 2011 report and wasn’t hurting for money. Yet she put herself in a position to appear to be helping students who were having trouble getting into the prom, and pocketed the money and for that she has resigned.

The kids at the school were the first to break this story and many of us had the details much of the week. I held on to the information until I had multiple confirmations. So I’m not particularly impressed when Superintendent Mantia said “We take all matters involving potential illegal activity very seriously. We acted with urgency to handle this situation appropriately. We are cooperating fully with the (Butler County) Sheriff’s office.” Well—duh! What else would she think would be expected of her and her teachers.

There has been a lot of very bad behavior reported about teachers and principals at Lakota and other schools at this site. But continuously, the administration at Lakota continues to show that they have the same kind of control over their teachers as they do with their budgets—which is to say—none at all. In Lakota teachers feel they can do anything they please, and nobody cares, until they get caught.

I shudder to think about how much my old buddy Elliot Grossman charged Karen (Mantia) for that little quote in the Enquirer. One can only guess. You can see Elliot’s billing sheets to Karen by CLICKING HERE where the details of the $90,000 payout to Laura Kursman was dealt with. That incident involving the payout which cost $100,000 only occurred a few months ago. Lakota is such an exciting school, payoffs to former PR Directors, teachers stripping down children in the classroom and taking pictures of them, teachers seducing parents of students, and now teachers scalping prom tickets and pocketing the money. Wow, that sounds like a great social institution!

To me it sounds like a joke that only the misfits and social apologists are laughing at.

Enjoy your lattés!

Obama is NOT MY PRESIDENT: I do not support communist dictators and their dreams for power

I will happily go on record to proclaim that President Obama does not represent me as an American. He is not my president; I view his role as head of the Executive Branch to be a travesty in American History. And it’s not because he is black. I would have gladly supported Herman Cain or Alan Keys for presidential candidates being color blind completely. No my feelings about Obama are because he is obviously attempting to subvert American culture, and I take serious offense to him, and his kind.

I would suggest you pass this around to your friends and family and make sure they know what this saboteur in the White House is really all about. The destruction of our country is not permissible to facilitate Obama’s “collective salvation.”

More Evil Coming from the NDAA: The band of thieves known as the Federal Government

I had the opportunity to listen to KrisAnne Hall speak recently about the implications of the recent signing of the NDAA law by President Obama which received bipartisan support—meaning most of the Federal government is guilty of a serious infringement of the U.S. Constitution.

KrisAnne was an attorney who was fired from her job for teaching Tea Party groups about the U.S. Constitution, which is apparently an unacceptable practice these days from the gate keepers of tyranny. The implication of such a firing is that the legal minds of our country are quite well aware of the scam they are perpetrating upon the American landscape, as many of their brethren run for elected office. The system is built by lawyers, exploited by politicians, and manipulated by would-be-tyrants intent to rule their own little sector of the world. But that is all known; especially to the crowd who turned out to listen to KrisAnne speak about the NDAA.

The NDAA is the most obvious power grab I have seen the Federal government attempt in my lifetime, and its implications are very far-reaching. To review, the NDAA gives the President of the United States complete power of interpretation over what constitutes a terrorist or a terrorist facilitator and allows for suspects to be detained indefinitely. And the most troubling aspect of the NDAA as if that weren’t bad enough is that the President can transfer a U.S. citizen outside of the United States to a foreign country, or military base where American courts have no jurisdiction. What this means is that if the President wants to, he or she could arrest any citizen in the United States under the NDAA Act and ship them to a Siberian prison, or even trade to North Korea to disappear forever from the face of the earth based exclusively on Presidential suspicions.

The intentions of course are short-sighted and focus on the current known terrorist network in the world. But like all laws, twenty years from now, some unknown president will use the NDAA Act to take complete control of the United States as a dictatorship, eliminating their political enemies at will without any checks and balance system of power. We’ve seen Presidential administrations do these kinds of things in the past even though it’s illegal and subversive to indulge in such activity. In fact, during the Clinton years many people associated with that administration that were known political enemies, or had become that way found themselves dead. There are many deaths of politicians that I can think of right off the top of my head, Sonny Bono is one of them, the Vince Foster “suicide” is another, that were deeply suspicious, and were in fact most likely political assassinations. It happens every day.

With the NDAA someone like President Obama now thinks he has the right to arrest his political enemies and get rid of them, which of course violates the entire concept of “checks and balances” we have in the United States, and it’s not at all paranoid to believe that such things are possible.

The trouble with the NDAA is that it’s just plain un-American. It is the kind of law we’d expect from a socialist country, or a heavy communist country, such as China, or Russia, but not in the United States. If there was any doubt that politicians in The United States are in bed with members of the United Nations to execute the implementation of Agenda 21 that doubt is gone, otherwise there would be no law in the United States that would allow the export of American citizens to a foreign country by the whim of a future President.

As predicated, only a handful of the American people are concerned about the NDAA Act, and those were the people showing up to hear KrisAnne Hall speak. The domestic enemies who wrote the NDAA Act could care less about this comparatively small group of people who are openly questioning what’s happening. They calculate that they should be easily be able to suppress such a small voice, as the rest of society has long forgotten about the law signed on New Years Eve just prior to 2012. Most of society is happy to take the word of the majority of politicians who voted in the tyrannical law completely trampling the 5th Amendment of the Bill of Rights, because the aim of many globalists are to eliminate The United States Constitution completely anyway.

But much to the dismay of those politicians who voted for the NDAA Act, and their deals they’ve made with global politics, there will not be a “consensus” on suppression. I know many people who will not go quietly into the night to be shipped off to Siberia, or a dirty Mexican prison south of the border just because a President doesn’t like us. So the NDAA Act and those who voted for it will be accountable when all hell breaks loose, because it will. Because they broke the law of The Constitution and they did it with malicious intent. They are wrong, and someone must pay for their insolence. And it won’t be targets of the NDAA Act. It will be those who authored the law in the first place, they are domestic enemies in the United States and must be treated as such.

Sex at Highland High School: What makes a good teacher?

Does anybody remember the dark days of the evil teacher union empires, when they organized in the halls of our schools and demanded more money for their whole 9 months of work? They’ve been kind of quiet lately, haven’t they? They’ve been pretty mellow for about 16 months now—ironically, about the same amount of time that I’ve been doing this blog—I wonder if there is any coincidence? ( LOL)

Well, you can pat yourself on the back for part of that. Finally tax payers are learning what type of scam has been pulled over their eyes for many years now by being told so much money was demanded for the teaching of our young, because we needed “quality” teachers in our classrooms. However, by the rash of scandals happening all over Cincinnati, most recently in Highlands High School in Northern Kentucky involving teachers having massive amounts of sex with the student population, it would seem the quality of our teachers are being recruited from Hooters and The Brass Ass strip clubs instead of Americas highest institutions of learning.

Yet during the above interview one must wonder who dropped mustache man Stuart Bassman on his head. His loose use of the word “compassion” is straight out of the progressive handbook of apologist behavior. Sorry Stuart, but the compassion is all used up buddy. I don’t give a rat’s ass whose hurting emotionally inside. They can hurt on their time, but when a teacher is in the classroom, they are “owned” by the community, and do not have a right to have sex with kids, no matter what their age.

For those out there with common sense, this is just one more example of what kind of quality we can see in the modern teaching profession. Make sure to send this article to all your friends and family so that when their local school asks for more money with a tax increase, they’ll know what their hard-earned money has bought them.

Oh, sorry teachers reading this—you think I’m being a big mean man. You wonder what I think a good teacher is, what I think would be worth the extraordinary amounts of money that we pay teachers. Well, I do have a teacher in mind who if our schools were filled with them, you’d hear no complaints by me.

Meet Miss Beadle. Now this is a teacher.

Instead, what we get are nymphomaniacs who can’t even wait to get home before having sex with young male students. Not my idea of a quality education.

Be sure to pass this on to someone who needs to learn what they are paying for in education.

Richard Lugar Lost his Seat, and his Mind: That’s what happens when politicians “compromise”

Richard Lugar is upset that he lost his long time senate seat to Richard Mourdock, a position Lugar’s held since 1977. Lugar lost the primary election by more than 20 percentage points so it wasn’t even close. This has sent shock waves of fear through the political establishment of both parties leaving the White House to voice its concern that the GOP is taking an “extremist” turn in Indiana with the election of Mourdock.

Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/05/09/lugar-rival-credits-tea-party-with-victory/#ixzz1uNjPCf5K

 

Here’s what Lugar said after the election.

He and I share many positions, but his embrace of an unrelenting partisan mindset is irreconcilable with my philosophy of governance and my experience of what brings results for Hoosiers in the Senate. In effect, what he has promised in this campaign is reflexive votes for a rejectionist orthodoxy and rigid opposition to the actions and proposals of the other party. His answer to the inevitable roadblocks he will encounter in Congress is merely to campaign for more Republicans who embrace the same partisan outlook. He has pledged his support to groups whose prime mission is to cleanse the Republican party of those who stray from orthodoxy as they see it.

Well, here’s how it is Richard Lugar and every other establishment politician who has made a career out of politics. Many people are just tired of “compromise.” That word has no place in American government any more. “Compromise” means a right answer has made concessions to a wrong answer to get some weakened idea that is corrupted by stolen value.

“Compromise” means that two sides did not fight it out to find the truth. Compromise means that two political parties decided how to divide up the loot stolen from American citizens in order to pad their own pockets, or political ideology. It is because of that idea of “compromise” that Richard Lugar fought against, is why he lost his seat. He was not fighting for what was right—his vision of right and wrong has been corrupted by too many years in Washington. He should have left the Senate in 1981 and let somebody else serve in his place. It is not the job of American citizens to elect a man into a Senate seat and to hold that position for 20 years giving the GOP a majority in voting, and to “compromise” with looters like Barack Obama, to keep the peace. It’s that type of mentality that has brought America so much trouble and caused our current 15 trillion-dollar budget deficit.

Speaking for myself, I have no desire to maintain the political order of the day, because it has been bad for America. It’s been good for looters and thieves in government who steal public money to build their palaces of worship to themselves, to create their immortality in more and more needless regulation—I don’t want anything to do with more of what’s wrong. If the political establishments who occupy a kind of European nobility in this country that they maintain with looted tax money want to call that “extremism,” then so be it. We have a president in the White House who was mentored by Bill Ayers and many other communist advocates, and are as extreme as the word can be properly defined. So I’ll wear the title proudly, because I want what’s right for my country and my state, not for some corrupt politician seeking “compromise” over what’s reasonably correct.

That is why you lost Richard Luger, and why many others will lose in the upcoming months. Prepare to be shocked. If Indiana does not vote for Richard Mourdock this upcoming fall, then the fault for what follows will be on the voters. But electing a politician into office who will simply compromise with various degrees of socialism to make everyone happy is not the solution of the future, and that kind of nonsense must end quickly. It’s good to see that conservatives like Mourdock no longer care if they are called “extremists” by a bunch of looting Democrats (socialists). Once they no longer care to be called names, then the real fight can begin, a fight that Richard Luger did not participate in, because his goal was to get re-elected to office, and maintain the peace—not to preserve the liberties and freedoms of our nation. His tendency to surrender these principles to the radicals of government over the last 20 years has made it so that liberty and freedom are now considered, “radical.” That’s why he lost his seat, deservedly so.

There is no “compromise,” CLICK HERE to find out why.

Take the Rich Hoffman Challenge: Individualism rules the world

I challenge you dear reader to give me one instance in the comments section of this posting to show me where in human history greatness was ever achieved under the mob rule of the collective. The answer of course I already know—never in human history has the mob ever proved to be the correct, most innovative solution. It has always been—and I mean always—that individuals drive an idea, a team, or a company to greatness. And once that individual is removed, the whole organization falls apart. Never does a rule by committee create something new. They can sometimes maintain greatness for a period of time before the quality the individual leaves behind gradually declines into oblivion, but they never create it.

The common mantra of our day however, particularly in sports is there is no “I” in team. Yet there is, because when it comes down to it, it is individuals who achieve the best and brightest statistics and drive their “teams” to victory through leadership. Sacrifice of individuality does not produce victory; it produces weak-minded, slush piles of worthlessness. Go ahead—I challenge you. Your silence I will take as a concession to my statement. I want all you collective minded utopians to prove me wrong, or attempt to do so. Go ahead—I’m waiting.

Public education is worthless because it teaches young people collectivism. Government is wrong because it behaves along the principles established in public education, of collectivism. And most companies fail when they adopt the “No ‘I’ in Team” mantra. They almost always overcompensate with faulty spreadsheets to keep their board of directors from digging too deeply while they fudge the numbers for 8 or 9 business quarters before eventually failing after the leadership of a strong personality leaves the company.

Collectivism as it is taught to our young American children is the most evil thing in existence. It is dooming entire generations to failure, by believing in the wrong moral principles. Our young and our old take these foolish notions into their adulthoods and they vote based on collectivism, they purchase goods based on collectivism, and they socialize based on collectivism. They worship based on collectivism. Most of the evil committed on planted earth is from collectivism.

You know you’ve committed this evil if you catch yourself saying “what would so and so think,” or “what do ‘they’ say is fashionable.” You are evil because what you are doing is hiding the solutions to problems by using the coverage of collective responsibility like a child uses blankets to hide under from the monsters concealed under their beds. The solution is not in the collective, but in individuals taking responsibility for their actions on the merits of their existence.

An excellent example of this collective mob rule is the Zimmerman case in Florida. Zimmerman is being tried in the court of public opinion not based on the rule of law by his peers, but by the democratic mob mentality of peer pressure. President Obama is not dealing with the economic tragedy of our age by dealing with reality, he is instead proposing more tax increases to slow the bleeding with an infusion of cash by inciting the mob of the collective against the rich, because obviously the rich are fewer in number than the masses of the mob. Obama is wrong, and his thoughts will lead to eventual destruction, just as the mob is wrong to publicly try Zimmerman without due process attempting to make the entire issue about race relations, to advance policies that benefit a collective group. On that same note, often evil politicians use women as a collective body to advance polling numbers in their favor by attempting to paint all women under the umbrella of public opinion through collectivism. This is done because advertisers have already conditioned society to understand that women are the primary decision makers of an economy, so women are targeted with various ads hoping to lure these demographic groups to their products. But on the downside, politicians like Obama and his gang of thugs do the same, pandering to women’s fears and weaknesses as a collective group hoping to win 50% of the vote of all Americans in the process. This is one of the reasons a majority party can win in our nation even if everything the party represents is fundamentally wrong, because decisions are made not on logic, but on emotional neurosis utilizing fully mob rule.

Most of the instances of bullying that go on in public schools are because this process of beating individuals into submission through group behavior is going on. Groups in public school are created socially, and the function of the school is not to teach our young how to be great innovators and out-of-the-box thinkers, it’s to find their group and to stick to it. Children are beaten into submission by their teachers, their classmates, and their parents into conforming to the will of the masses. A common aspect among the rich and successful is a tendency toward rebellion of compliance, displaying a tendency to break the unspoken rules of society. Public schools do not produce leaders of the pack. It simply produces members of the pack.

Companies are never run well by a committee of weak-minded fools. A board of directors never does a good job of advancing the strategic aims of anything—ever. Success always consists of strong individual personalities and the mob that licks at the heels of leadership carrying out the commands of the leadership by an individual. The ass kissers of the world do the work, but without the quality of thinking that comes from an individual who possesses leadership, the work is worthless. This is especially true of government, but can be seen in all its disgust wherever groups gather and the masses rule through democratic peer pressure.

The myth of the 99% is just that. Without leadership, they are just a mob of collectivists awaiting the determination of a leader to guide their lives. They are worthless without the 1% who take responsibility and lead all others. In America these days we breed these 99% types like cockroaches in a dark moist basement called public education. We drop these poor children off at day care before public education even begins at age 5 to begin the pounding of their young minds into the submission of mob rule. And by the time these young people are 15 to 16, they have given up. Their minds are no longer their own. They are at that time the 99% who will always in all phases of their lives be at the mercy of a leader to guide them about like little army men on a pretend battlefield. The worst of these collectivists are the idiots who go to college and attempt to join a fraternity hoping that their networking connections through those infantile organizations will land them with a good job so they can lick the heels of a leader all their lives, till their miserable lives ends in the grave of their choice. For these collectivists that’s the only choice they have left in their lives–where their burial plots will hold the empty carcass of their lives upon death. All other decisions in their lives are at the mercy of someone else.

Most leaders in the world of the human being have openly rejected this process of collectivism. Most people at the absolute top of an organization are raw individualist who do not care what people think of them, they do not worry their minds what is fashionable in Paris, or what is going on in New York. They do not worry about trends of popularity because it is they who set the rules. They are the trend setters for the masses, and without them, the collectivist will perish, 100% of the time.

So why do we embrace collectivism in America? Why do we endorse it as a “good” thing? Because it’s not, it’s pure evil and nothing less. Our institutions are breeding soulless human beings vacant of originality, vacant of courage, vacant of leadership and we are praising them for becoming part of the great evil goo of nothingness. We praise our children for surviving their hazing rituals in their college fraternities, we praise the women for voting with the girls doing exactly what advertisers told them to do, we praise entire sports teams for their victories, but within each article it is the work of an individual who almost always presides to carry the team over the edge of victory with leadership.

But why do we do these things?

The reason is that those who wish to rule, but lack the ability of leadership use the masses to compensate for their personal failures. This is how America got President Obama, who would amount to nothing if he did not rely on collectivism to carry him like an Egyptian pharaoh on the back of slaves across the Nile to tombs dedicated in his honor for the aimless appeasement of the gods. In Obama’s case it is the God of Mother Nature that he represents and millions of weak-minded collectivist built-in public education with our tax money carry him willingly hoping to get some of that “Obama Money” that is looted from the public, from the leaders of society who actually create jobs.

The evils of our current world can in almost every instance be traced back to collectivism to the principle of mob rule. Mob rule believes it can make something right due to their superior numbers, that they can deny a truth just in denying its existence through superior numbers in believing something. And such idiots will always have superior numbers, because there will always be more of them than the leaders of the world—the 1%. Mob rule, such as what is going on in modern politics is no different from the violence of the Vikings, or the Mongols, the Nazi, the French under Napoleon, the Greek under Alexander, the Romans under Marcus Aurelius, or the Americans under Franklin Roosevelt. Society has always, and will always be driven by the strong individuals of creative thought. Collectivism will never create justice, equality, or any primal form of a utopia. That is why in America, we should reject collectivism completely in every instance. Collective mob rule is the gateway to our own destruction and is of no good to anybody, even those who think they are the nobility of our culture. The so-called nobility are simply those who licked the most boots of a real leaders—the head honchos, the leaders of the pack, the one percenters, the visionaries who find they need people to carry out their visions, and as they look down, they see these boot licking followers offering to do anything to touch their grace of leadership.

Go ahead, give me one instance where I am wrong—–I dare you. There are certain rules to nature, the sun is hot, snow is cold, and it is always individuals who drive society. Once that is understood, America can realize that they could eliminate hundreds of thousands of government jobs, and save a hell of a lot of tax money and have a better society, not a weaker one. All it takes is the power of individualism, and the courage to use it.

New Novel Set in the Great Smoky Mountains: The Famous Matt Clark interview on “Tail of the Dragon” with Rich Hoffman

On Sunday May 6, 2012 I spent some time with Matt Clark of the Clarkcast Radio Network to talk about my new novel Tail of the Dragon which is about to hit book stores everywhere. Matt had read an early version of the novel before I signed with my publisher and enjoyed it so much he called me personally to say just how much he loved the story prompting us to discuss it well in advance of its release to the public. When the book was close to release, we spoke about doing the interview heard and seen below as it aired on Talk 1600 WAAM in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Check it out!

On a special note, during the interview, I say “WE” quite a bit. This is in reference to either my wife who has been on many adventures with me and has been a big part of the writing process–or its in reference to my publisher and the team who has worked with me to bring this book to life. Its a process that involves a lot of people, so saying “WE” seemed appropriate.

Even though Matt and I spoke about a lot of topics that make Tail of the Dragon a unique and timely novel, where the events of this intense story are paralleling the tensions of our current nation, a lot of what we wanted to discuss didn’t make it into our interview. If it had, our talk might have gone on for hours. So to further elaborate the content of the Tail of the Dragon I have a longer version of the interview to enjoy while the final stages of production are completed prior to the release of the book in The United States and International markets. 

Enjoy!!!!!!

Q: What is your new book Tail of the Dragon all about?

A: I set out to write the book I’ve wanted to see written for a number of years, an action packed good ol’ car chase that was filled with excitement. They used to make lots of those films in Hollywood years ago, and of late, even with the strong video game market from the Need for Speed series and the popularity of the Fast and Furious films, studios have been shy about tackling those types of projects.

When I was growing up it was films like Smokey and the Bandit and The Dukes of Hazzard that dominated movie and TV sets and I always felt that those types of entertainment mediums were healthy for American culture since questioning the merit of the law is important to our checks and balances as a society. And for me, it is kind of sad that one of the greatest car chase films of all time is The Blues Brothers which was made back in the 70’s. So I set out to write a story to contribute to this starving deficiency, and I purposely set out to write the most exciting, and intense car chase story in the history of car chase stories. If early readings of the book are any indication, I’d say that mission was accomplished.

Q: After reading this novel it seems that there is more to it than just a car chase. These characters are in deep peril. The politics of the novel seem to be a very direct commentary to real life.

A: I think of this story as a modern pirate story, where the main character Rick Stevens has been hired as a privateer much the way England and France hired privateers to harass the Spanish Main during the 17th century leading to the golden age of piracy. This gave rise to the great privateer/pirate called Henry Morgan. In a way I see Rick Stevens as the modern counterpart to that historic character. Stevens has been hired by political interests to harass the Highway Patrol in Tennessee for political reasons—to prevent a presidential run to the White House of the current Tennessee governor. So in that respect, there is a contemporary storyline.

Q: But you don’t deal with party politics, you keep it neutral.

A: That’s right. I make no mention of Republicans or Democrats because to me they are all kind of the same thing. If there is a political meaning to be taken from this particular story it’s that the political system is broken beyond repair and a small number of characters are intent to correct that system with a rebellious upheaval which causes this grand car chase.

Q: Isn’t it a hot dog that starts all this in motion?

A: Yes, Rick Stevens accepts the bet of a hot dog in a race that triggers off the chain reaction of events that lead to the next civil war in America. This time the battle lines are drawn between those who want government to continue to expand, and those who want to see it withdrawal from their lives. But yes, the whole thing starts over a bet for a simple hot dog.

Q: But this isn’t just a tough guy car chase; you have romance in it too.

A: Yes, Rick Stevens and his wife are on a trip to Gatlinburg to shake the dust off their marriage, which is a very popular destination for that kind of thing, and while there Rick wants to run his new motorcycle on the Tail of the Dragon which is a road on the western frontier of the Great Smoky Mountains that has 318 curves in just 11 miles. It’s considered one of the most extraordinary roads in the world, so it’s a very popular destination for high performance bikers and automobiles. In the novel this is the destination for this middle-aged couple as they reconnect romantically now that their oldest son is off and married.

Q: Ok, so that brings up the question, how much of this story is real? How much of Rich Hoffman is there in Rick Stevens?

A: There’s a bit there, especially in the first couple of chapters where the couple is traveling on their way to The Dragon for the first time. I’d say those chapters are a bit autobiographical. When my wife and I traveled to the actual Dragon I was amazed by the culture that was there. There was a real hunger for personal freedom that I found refreshing so I knew I had to make my next book about that extraordinary place. That same summer my wife and I traveled over 10,000 miles on our motorcycle as I started writing this book so that I could get my head into the mind of a character like Rick Stevens. We traveled from the shores of Lake Erie to the tip of Key West by motorcycle and many places in between. On those trips this story was born in every aspect. When you travel by motorcycle and speak with other motorcyclists at gas pumps and rest stops there is a respect that is undeniable. Where Rick Stevens and I part ways is that Rick does not have the same outlets as I do. I write, and read a lot, but Rick invests his time in cars and engines and doesn’t have mechanisms to relieve the stresses he feels in his life. I would never snap the way Rick Stevens does, but there is a part of me that really understands his reasons and motives for the behavior that becomes the greatest car chase in human history.

Q: So you and your wife rode 10,000 miles on a motorcycle all over The United States to research this novel?

A: Yes, but our riding stayed on the eastern side of the Mississippi River because most of the traveling was on long weekend trips that were close to our hometown of Cincinnati. But yes, our trips to The Dragon being some of the most interesting experiences I have had on a motorcycle. While on the road you meet a lot of people who want pretty much the same thing that you do, a sense of freedom, which is the appeal of traveling by motorcycle, and are the reason that motorcyclists wave to each other when they pass on the road.

The character of Rick Stevens is such a freedom loving person and to understand him correctly I found that he came to life for me somewhere between the Smoky Mountains and Key Largo, Florida. In fact, my wife and I stopped by a McDonalds in between Key Largo and Key West after several days on the road with our tent and a weeks worth of supplies stacked our motorcycle luggage rack and there was a profound sense of freedom that I felt at that moment that I used to create the character of Rick Stevens. I had to ask the question, what if a person lived like this every day? What would happen if a man who had such a profound sense of freedom and a determination to stay that way found himself pulled into a political whirlpool involving a presidential run to the White House. The result is this novel, Tail of the Dragon.

Q: Didn’t you have a lot of trouble with the law yourself, so isn’t there more of Rick Stevens in you than you’re admitting?

A: It’s true I grew up in trouble with the law quite a bit. I’ve received about every type of speeding ticket, and reckless operation citation a person can get, and I’ve been to court more times than I can even remember. Like Rick Stevens I had lost my driver’s license under state mandated suspension till my late 20’s. I do love speed, which is very obvious by the pace of this novel. But after I started raising a family and was driving family type cars, I drove just as fast–I never did slow down—even today. But I stopped getting tickets because the police do pull over a certain kind of driver, and certain types of cars. This is what confirmed my suspicions that the law was crooked in selective enforcement, and that traffic violations have nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with “revenue enhancement,” which is one of the central themes of this novel.

But Rick Stevens unlike me expects the world to be fair and he refuses to budge off the line of what is right and wrong. He’s a very determined character who expects logic in the law, and when he doesn’t get it—watch out.

Q: That brings us to another compelling character in Tail of the Dragon. We’ve talked about motorcycles, but this isn’t a motorcycle chase with the police, it’s a car chase. The car in this novel is unlike anything ever created.

A: That it is. In the story Rick Stevens has been trying to save up the money to fix up an old 1977 Firebird he has from his youth, but he could never come up with the money to restore it, since he was raising a family. So the car was in the garage collecting dust waiting for Rick to come up with the money. He gets it from a political enemy of the Governor of Tennessee who gives him $20 million to fix up his old car and turn it into the supercar that’s in the book.

Q: And it truly is a supercar.

A: Well, it had to be. Again, I think of it as the ultimate pirate ship for the ultimate pirate. Stevens takes the $20 million dollars and converts his old Firebird into an armored tank that can travel at speeds of over 200 MPH, which would be needed if he was going to pick a fight with the state of Tennessee and their highway patrol. He knew that the police would use lethal force to stop him once the chase got started so he put so many gadgets into the car that it would make James Bond jealous.

As a kid I always loved the car in Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang, where the car could do just about anything, including fly, so in that spirit the old Firebird in Tail of the Dragon is a tribute to those great cars designed by Ian Flemming in his literary works that became the early James Bond films and set a level of expectation that hasn’t been matched. So with this story, I wanted to top it. I kept imagining how cool the Hot Wheel car of this Firebird would be in the toy aisle for a 10 year-old-boy, and I designed the car to appeal to all the children under 12 and adults over 30 who have old cars in their garages that they are trying to restore for all the reasons that Rick is, and are finding that money is hard to come by. This is the kind of story that fathers can share with their children in equal joy because both young and old love a cool car that is a strong character of its own.

Q: But what’s most unique about this car is that it’s the first hot rod of its kind that’s “environmentally friendly.” It doesn’t run off fossil fuel, but off of “vegetable oil.” Is that right?

A: Yes, the car has had a Lemans race car engine installed that is based on real technology from Puguet where they have had great success in developing diesel racing engines that can run on biodiesel. They have one engine that they currently use that produces 700 HP, so that gave me the idea to use that technology to solve a unique problem that always comes up in car chase stories—how do the bandits get gas, because in long, involved, and violent car chases, the last option of the police would be to shut down all the fuel stations along the chase route to starve the bandits of gas? So if a bandit/runaway pirate like Rick Stevens wishes to survive a massive car chase, he has to solve the problem of how he can refuel, otherwise he will simply run out of gas and he’d be gunned down with no place to go.

One thing that is very common, especially in the American South are lots of free-standing fast food restaurants that have plenty of waste veggie oil they keep in large containers behind their buildings. Rick hopes that by resurrecting his beloved car to a diesel engine power plant with a vegetable oil conversion kit, which is actually technologically feasible, then he can solve his refueling problems no matter what the police do, because law enforcement won’t be able to deny him of that source of fuel while on the run.

Q: So this is the first car chase in history that is “environmentally friendly.”

A: You could say that. Veggie oil is an alternative fuel that makes no sense to me why we don’t explore it as an alternative to diesel fuel. If I were a truck driver in America, I’d be pretty upset by the cost of diesel fuel, and I’d be looking for alternatives. So I wanted to make that technology known to a wider audience by making it a central story point in this novel, so people could learn that there are options to traditional fossil fuel available right now. Using those alternative fuel sources will help drive costs down by relieving demand and creating a more competitive market in the fuel processing businesses. So it only makes sense as an option that I think people should be utilizing. In Tail of the Dragon Rick Stevens uses veggie fuel to stay one step ahead of the law.

Q: I don’t want to give anything away, but I will have to say that I didn’t know how this story would end. It’s intense right up to the very last paragraph and I couldn’t put it down, especially the last 80 pages. There was just one cliffhanger after another and the story didn’t stop. There were action scenes that were just incredible, that’s the only way I know to describe them.

A: Well, I’m glad to hear it, because that was my intention. When I was a kid I played with a lot of toy cars, and I imagined every imaginable chase sequence possible by the human mind, so when I sat down to write Tail of the Dragon, I was able to go back and relive those childhood moments with the wisdom and reality of being an adult that has spent over 20 years traveling at a high rate of speed. So the car chase in this novel is a culmination of 44 years of playing on my behalf with the idea of the car chases that are in it. I wrote the scenes the way I’ve always wanted to see them, but so far every other story ever made has fallen short in some way.

I’ve read a lot of books, and car chases don’t typically play out well in literature, but as a tribute to my favorite car chases from movies, I wanted to apply one to literature as a mechanism to advance a very intense plot. So I thought of the great car chase stories like Road Warrior, Thunder Road, Vantage Point, Smokey and the Bandit, Hooper and many others and wanted to bring them into the modern world of advanced police tactics and superior technology. I didn’t want the police to be stumbling buffoons like they are typically in the old 70’s car chases, but worthy adversaries, which greatly increased the level of tension and made this story one of a kind. I’m very proud of what ended up on the printed page and the images it congers up in the mind.

Q: And that brings us to the point of the book. Without giving anything away, what is the point, because to me this novel works on many different levels? I mean you can blast through this novel in one sitting, or over a weekend. And you can read it several times and still take away more on the third and fourth reading. There are messages in it that seem to resonate to a much deeper philosophical yearning.

A: For me the point of the book is to get to the final pages, literally the last four pages. All the billions of dollars of destruction, the carnage, the audacious disregard for the law is to take the characters and the readers on a journey to a place beyond the law of mortal human beings to a place I believe all of humanity is clamoring for, but they just don’t know how to get there. We have a culture that is addicted to safety, to laws; too many chains we willingly place upon ourselves in a grand scheme to have an advanced and fair society. But that’s not what we’re getting; we’re finding our freedoms being eroded away slowly and beyond our control, and the common cause is in our tendency to be driven by our fears by politicians and social do-gooders.

So the characters in Tail of the Dragon decide that life is moving by too quickly and they have a shot to pull those chains off for the first time in their lives, and they make the leap for freedom even if it means their death. This is why the planned provocation of the highway patrol takes place on the Fourth of July because the characters are declaring their freedom, even though they are fully aware they probably won’t live to see a sun set. The yearning for freedom is that important to them.

As a literary device I used many mythological symbols to take the characters to the edge of social acceptance to arrive at a life beyond the laws of mankind to learn the meaning of their existence, to touch the face of what they were meant to be. To step beyond the limits that all the social devices of our age place upon us as shackles, the characters had to break all the rules and reach for their human potential beyond the reach of the law to truly understand. The point of the chase is actually a metaphor for how society as a whole seeks to hold individuals to the limits of the law. And to the point of Tail of the Dragon, the law is made up primarily of social reformers who have control and manipulation in mind, and not the needs of the people in general. So the conflict works at many levels, and the characters are both running to it and from it so they can smash through some invisible social barrier they have no way to understand, until it’s too late.

Of course if everyone in society acted on these impulses, there would be chaos. But in the name of art, we can explore these emotions through these characters so that the reader can break free like Rick Stevens into the world beyond politicians, legal manipulation, and guilt ridden morality to a place where the human being can be everything that it was meant to be. And in Tail of the Dragon, even though the results are tragic, the hero quest is in the pursuit of this freedom that is uniquely American, a freedom I touched on so often during my motorcycle trips, that exists just out of our reach.

Q: So when does it come out and what’s in the future for Tail of the Dragon? What about a sequel, or a series? This has to become a movie.

A: Well, again, not to give anything away, I don’t think there could be a sequel. That’s all I can say about that. But the book should be out within months. The publisher has not given me a firm release date yet, which was pushed out in the last-minute because of a change by me to the manuscript during my final reading approval. But it will be very soon. As to a movie, I think that may be a possibility. But for now, I mean for it to be a literary experience that is very personal to the reader. This is a journey that is intended in a language only a book can provide. I envision that there will be many readers clamoring for a taste of freedom on long motorcycle trips like the ones my wife and I enjoy going on that will pack this book in their side bags and pull off at that McDonalds between Key West and Key Largo and just rest for a while and cool off while reading Tail of the Dragon over a Big Mac like I’ve enjoyed doing over the years on many occasions. I have no doubt that the visitors to the mountain cabins around the actual Dragon will buy the book and enjoy reading it in the early morning mist that hovers around the mountains and contemplate the grand adventure of Rick Stevens and his epic car chase. A book is a personal journey that is deeply intimate for the reader, and as a lover of books, I put everything the written word can articulate into Tail of the Dragon to provide for readers an adventure they will never forget and yearn for again and again.

Stay tuned!!!! –And pass this on to a friend!

Becoming an Overmanwarrior: The art of being free of fear

I have noticed from many of my readers a feeling of anxiety in realizing that the potential for conflict appears to be imminent in our generation. Many Americans have found that they can live their daily lives conflict free for the most part, and that such a thought of future confrontation is upsetting. These days it’s not enough to just say that Americans should keep their guns close and should prepare for conflict against foreign and domestic enemies. CLICK HERE FOR PROPER CONTEXT. Americans need to know how to fight and what to expect, and once that is understood, the fears of a potential clash will be greatly abated. Click the link below to see an example of why there is cause for alarm.

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/remember-the-ruby-ridge-massacre-atf-openly-plots-against-the-constitution/

I have thought about conflict every single day since I was 6 years old. I have never really been interested in anything but conflict, and I have studied the book by Sun Tzu called The Art of War for many years to quench my hunger for military, and political strategy. So I do not worry about being attacked, because I know what my enemies will attempt, and I know exactly what to do to counter each aggressive action. The Art of War is used all over the world today, including instruction at West Point in The United States. CLICK THE LINK BELOW. It is the book to study to get a basic understanding of the strategies that are being used against us all on a daily basis.

http://www.thespiritedwoman.com/go_blog_blog_blog/2010/08/west-point-cadets-the-art-of-war-my-chinese-heritage.html

Understanding this book well is very important to accepting how to deal with aggressors, and how to defeat your enemies. In a confrontation, it’s often shocking to act against an aggressor so in reading a book like The Art of War it starts your mind down the road of that unfortunate inevitability. It is a book that must be known and understood even if oriental mythology and philosophy are rejected, because the chances are, your enemy has vast knowledge of the book if they are attacking you. So to make you acquainted with the book and who wrote it, I’d like you to watch this documentary below on The Art of War. Grab a snack, relax and open up your mind. You will want to take some notes.

Below is the actual reading of the text from The Art of War. It’s not a terribly large book, but I spent the 10 year period of the my 20’s to 30’s learning to understand the meaning of the text since some of the concepts require an understanding of oriental philosophy, which took me a while to get my mind around since much of it is rooted in various forms of collectivism. But the concepts of The Art of War are universal and will be used against you at some point in your life if you do not understand the forces that are working against you. As Sun Tzu says in The Art of War, not understanding the text is like fighting in the dark. So click this video and listen. There are no video images in this clip, but only the audio recording of the actual text translation. Keep those notes handy, because you’ll want to take a bunch.

None of these videos can actually replace the book. You can find The Art of War at your local book store in the philosophy section. Sometimes you can find it in the business and management sections as well.

To understand how to apply The Art of War on the individual level the work of Miyamoto Musashi’s Book of Five Rings is the book to study. I have found that Musashi’s techniques with samurai swords can also be used with bull whips and single action pistols, so it does not have to be specific for eastern philosophy. Any martial art weapon can utilize a variation of Musashi’s strategy. In this case a martial art weapon is anything that could be used in combat. And to understand what Musashi was all about, here is another documentary that is extremely important. Musashi had developed the art of becoming “invincible in battle.” He had enemies all over Japan in his day, and he never lost a to any of them. Before his death from the cave he called home which only had one entrance so his enemies could not surround him, he wrote The Book of Five Rings to teach his students is art form and is ability at invincibility if battle.

The Book of Five Rings is so important to me that I gave it to my son-in-law early in my relationship with him, and most recently I gave my youngest daughter’s fiancé a copy of that book. The teachings of Miyamoto Musashi are ESSENTIAL to every human being.

To ignore these two books, The Art of War and the Book of Five Rings does not make the world peaceful. The only way to have peace is to understand how to decimate your enemy and for them to know it. Chances are, if you are attacked by an organized force, they understand these two books, so it is only fair for you to have the same knowledge.

Those of us in the Constitutional movement for restoring America understand that we are going to be attacked for our stance by those who are forcing change we do not agree with. Violence will come to us, and guns alone will not be enough to fight them off. It does not matter that the enemy knows I am passing this information on to my readers here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom. Part of being free human beings is in knowing that fear does not dictate our thoughts. So by learning to think like Miyamoto Musashi and Sun Tzu the reader learns that they do not have to be destroyed by an attacker. The action of an aggressor does not automatically mean that the victim is helpless against another’s intentions.

Being free means not having to worry about the intentions of your enemy. The most common example of this is when someone says that if you don’t behave a certain way, or do this or do that, that someone who desires otherwise might shoot you, and kill you. My response to those people is to ask how. Just because my attacker pulls the trigger to a gun, it does not guarantee that the bullet will enter my body and end my life. Whether I “allow” such a thing to occur is what these books are all about. Learning the difference between being a victim and being invincible is the key, and once you understand living your life from a position of invincibility you will find that life opens up wonderfully, and the freedoms of being an America can be enjoyed at a whole new level.

It is possible that your attacker has also learned to become invincible and in those combat engagements, then a stalemate is reached. This is how the human race maintains peace. This is how human beings respect each other, in knowing that they have mastered the art of invincibility and attack against another is pointless.

So dear reader, listen to and watch these documentaries. Then go read the books. Because when the time comes, we are going to want to speak to each other in the language of combat. And I will want you to understand what I’m saying. There is still time, so use it to your advantage because you will need it. Pick your weapon and study it. Get to know it like you know your own arms and legs. That is how you will win and survive what is coming.

Once you understand these two books, you will be ready for the more difficult task of rebuilding your personal philosophy into something that is more suitable for the lives we are living. Click Here to begin that journey.

“Believe” in Eric LeGrand: The Tampa Buccaneers make a BOLD move that will change the world

When I first heard that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had signed DT Eric LeGrand to the 90 man roster my first thought was that it was in bad taste to appeal to the world and sell tickets to my favorite team for the upcoming season by exploiting a young man’s depilating injury. LeGrand was severely injured during a special teams tackle while playing at Rutgers and broke his neck paralyzing him at age 20 from the neck down. Doctors gave LeGrand a 0 to 5% chance to ever regain any feeling in the neurological systems of his body.

But Eric is a tough kid and shortly after his injury, he insisted to be taken off his breathing machine. Then he gained feeling in his hands. LeGrand worked every day to move a part of his body and now he can actually stand for periods of time, which is an absolutely tremendous achievement. Coach Schiano who was his coach at Rutgers when LeGrand went down with the injury has been helping the young man stay focused, along with the fantastic support of a mother who refuses to quit, and it is becoming clear what forces have helped give Eric LeGrand the inner strength to beat these impossible odds to recovery.

Coach Schiano is now the coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team that is loaded with talent, but lost their way last season with a lack of focus and leadership. My love of the Buccaneers stems from the ownership of the Glazer family, and how innovative they have been in their approach to the game of football, and the NFL in general. When they hired Schiano after many interviews with many coaches, some who had taken their teams to last year’s playoff games, it was evident they saw something special in Schiano that would resurrect a level of greatness that the fans of Tampa Bay had come to expect.

Schiano has not disappointed so far, he has made some fantastic acquisitions in the free agency market, and this year’s draft is considered to be one of the best in Buccaneer history. The team has managed to create some cap room to work with, and they have used it to get some really good players to fill the voids exposed during the last season. That is why it seemed like a publicity stunt to see that Schiano had put LeGrand on the Buccaneer 90 man roster. After all, there is no way that LeGrand will play DT for Tampa Bay in 2012 if ever. Even if he could gain the ability to walk again, there is simply no way that he could outperform the hoards of other athletes all competing for the same job who have not suffered a debilitating injury. That is the conventional wisdom of the stats and science in placing an NFL player on the field to win football games. But conventional wisdom does not produce exceptions, and in any competitive endeavor, it is the exceptional that tip the balance of power in favor of a victor.

Great players are a dime a dozen, and coaches, teams and fans are always on the look-out for those special individuals who display leadership in the face of adversity and overcome odds that are insurmountable, and LeGrand certainly exhibits these traits without even stepping onto a football field.

My personal feelings about injuries and the kind of things doctors tell us are well noted here. I believe cancer could be cured tomorrow but the pharmaceutical companies and FDA are more concerned about preserving the status quo for their retirement accounts than actually solving a problem that will change medicine. When it comes to spinal cord injuries and nerve damage, doctors often project doomsday scenarios tapping their patients into the local pharmacy promoting bags of drugs to return the sick to some semblance of a normal life.

I don’t trust much of what doctors tell me, because I find the limits of their medical understanding confining and their belief in the potential of the human body to be deficient. My own doctors and rehab specialists tried to guide me in returning my knee to full function after extensive ACL surgery. I had torn my ACL in a basketball game, and then further damaged my knee by tearing the MCL while jumping through a wall of fire performing a whip stunt. The grass was wet to protect it from being burnt, so when I landed my foot slipped out from under me because there was no ACL to support my leg, and my femur actually drove into the ground leaving a small crater. My knee-joint slipped so far out of socket the bone had no knee in the way to protect it.

Doctors gave me weeks of rehab as the prognosis once they repaired my ACL, but I worked hard to recover as quickly as possible. I had my surgery done on a Thursday; I was walking and back to work on the following Monday. I could have milked time off work for weeks if I wanted to, but that is not how I think. I wanted to recover, and get back on my feet quickly—and I did. I went to rehab every couple of days, and I felt they were wasting my time, like my appointments were simply to provide work for the rehab employees and had very little to do with my actual recovery. I stunned the staff recovering 6X’s faster than the average, according to them. When my insurance company saw my progress with the rehab clinic, they cut the payments to my rehab. And on that day, it was my last session. I wasn’t about to pay for something out of my own pocket that I could do better on my own.

As I was leaving my therapists warned me that I might lose my advanced progress if I did not come to them anymore, in fact, my leg might not be as strong. They were aghast that I refused to take any medication during this time and made it sound as though my leg would fall off if I quit therapy. Within weeks of walking out on my therapists because my insurance company would no longer cover the costs, I was running on my leg again, and jumping through walls of fire—doing what I love doing.

My wife had ruptured a disk in her lower back carrying my youngest daughter the rest of the way up a mountain hike and didn’t realize it until we got home because she had difficulty walking. We went to see a back surgeon and discovered that she was about to become paralyzed from the waist down due to the disk slippage, so she went through emergency surgery.

After the surgery she had lost a lot of feeling in her toes and parts of her leg and was told that those nerves in her leg had been severally damaged, and she may never be able to walk correctly. Well, to my wife, this simply wasn’t an option. She had kids to raise and things to do. We rubbed her legs and feet for hours stimulating the damaged nerves and gradually she regained most of her feeling, and within a month, was able to walk normally. Again, if we had listened to the doctors, she would probably still have problems walking and her body would most likely be addicted to some pharmaceutical product to this very day even though that was well over decade ago.

The injury to LeGrand is much more severe than either one of the injuries described above, but what he has that is in common is a will to recover, to conquer his debilitation and take charge of his own body and its functions, and that’s how it’s supposed to be. For that, Coach Schiano is wise to understand that by placing LeGrand on the very young Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team that the presence of LeGrand will inspire the other players to greatness, to be at the top of their physical prowess, because compared to LeGrand, what does anyone have to complain about. If LeGrand can work out with the Buccaneers players and they see what it looks like to recover from paralysis what does a healthy player have as an excuse to not strengthen a ham string injury, or a sprained ankle?

For the inspiration of having such a positive presence on the practice field, LeGrand is worth the roster spot, and will certainly earn the privilege of playing in the NFL, even if it’s just on the sidelines. Because like most games, the battles are not won just on the field of play, they are won in the mind of the participants before the contest even begins.

I believe that with the positive attitude that Eric LeGrand has, with the support of his very positive mother and mentoring of Coach Schiano, that Eric may very well take his first steps on the practice field at One Buc Place sometime during the upcoming football season. Once Eric is on the field around other athletes, that desire to compete will drive the cells of his body to his cause, and he will walk while in a Buccaneer uniform, and the world will shudder at the miracle. LeGrand will become a shock to the medical industry of the world as new hope will be given to all victims of paralysis. The medicine of positive thinking will begin to get serious reappraisal.

Further, I believe that by the 2013 season, Eric will be running again and will be able to practice on the field simulating plays with the practice squad. And because he will have recovered and worked so hard to come back to that point, he will be a superior athlete, far surpassing what most in his position have otherwise achieved, because he has had to learn to overachieve just to recover.

By the 2014 season Eric will be in the rotation of DT’s in Tampa and he will find that he has surpassed his previous playing ability with a ferocity that defies fear, because he will have a new lease on life and will know that he has survived the worse that can be thrown at him, and he beat it back and the world will gasp at his stunning performance on third downs.

By 2015, just 5 short years from his terrible injury at Rutgers, at the tender age of 27, Eric LeGrand will be the dominate DT in the league and will be the starter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Many all over the NFL will be comparing him to Warren Sapp and Lee Roy Selmon but Eric will have done something nobody in the history of the world has done, he will have returned from an injury that doctors had doomed him to a life of paralysis to not only recover, but be bigger, stronger, and faster than ever before because he had knocked on death’s door and faced that ultimate fear at the brink, and that will make him unstoppable. And his never-say-quit attitude will carry the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a string of Superbowl wins that will dominate the NFL for a 6 year period up to the 2022 season. And Eric LeGrand will be known as one of the greatest players to ever play the game and he’ll not only change the game of football for the better, but will alter the course of medical science.

If you can think it, you can do it Eric.  (CLICK HERE for more info)

It will all come back to the odd decision of Coach Schiano and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to sign a paralyzed, but optimistic kid to their 90 man roster in 2012, a decision that will reenergize Buccaneer football in Tampa to a new decade of dominance and inspire the world to the unlimited possibilities of positive thinking. Once again it will be proven that the prizes of life do not go to the quicker, the stronger, or the largest man, but to the one who simply refuses to quit and believes that they can do anything once they set their mind to it and force their bodies to equal the quality of their thoughts.  The strength of heart simply has more value than the bulk of muscle, and is so rare that even if a person is in a wheel chair they can have more value than a whole busload of healthy players that are the best physical athletes of their age, yet lack the inner drive to achieve beyond expectation.  That is why Eric LeGrand will change the world, starting with the fate of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers!
