Those Loaded With Guns and Those Who Dig: Naming the second-handers

Since I was about 19 I have kept volumes and volumes of notes about my observations regarding life as it truly is.  I have done that for over 25 years now and the process has migrated from little notebooks that family members would buy my for Christmas and birthdays, to loose-leaf notebook paper in binders written upon front and back and down across the margins haphazardly in some situations to complete a thought without having to turn the paper over.  That process has evolved of course into what I share daily here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.  Of course to outsiders—people who do not know me, they continue to be baffled as to why I do all this.  After the Lakota election many of the unionized workers happy to have been given a tax increase by the community sent me a barrage of comments letting me know that all my work over the last three years has been fruitless—since they won the money anyway. This is because of their small mindedness that they think this way, and points to a resolution which will be concluded at the climax of this article.  A written body of work such as what I publish here may only have a 1% chance of changing an election.  That falls within the margin of victory for a candidate like Mark Welsh and Cathy Stoker in West Chester, or the Lakota levy which was a few hundred votes short out of thousands going up against an energized group of levy addicts.  The number goes up to perhaps 5% if the media type is popular and well-received such as The National Enquirer, People Magazine, or some other populous enterprise.  On the night of the election, Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom saw 2000 hits that evening above the daily normal of 400 to 500.  The spike was because the normally placid intellectual thinkers wanted somebody to tell them how to vote—so they looked to my blog to help them make a decision.  In an election that had about 26,000 votes cast, my blog probably changed the vote of about 300 people, most of the rest of that 2000 were from the other side nervous about their results and wondering what I was saying.

My entire adult life I have yearned to observe, think, and to write these things down in the solitude of my own mind.  Most of the notes I made over the years repeat themselves over and over again—or they lack proper conclusions.  This is because I was working things out.  By the time I started this blog, I had most of the answers to everything in life—because I had spent a quarter century getting those answers.  My personal education could not come from orthodox sources but came from a mind on fire not looking for a way to douse the flames, but to throw more logs on to make it roar.  During my orthodox education, which was as extensive as anyone’s, I noticed and wrote about as a young twenty year old, that education institutions seemed more intent to put out the fire of my mind, than to feed it, so I rebelled against that notion with a fury.  Even back then while most people my age were focused on getting drunk and “partying” I was sitting late at night at Waffle Houses and Perkins restaurants with my notebooks open writing till four and five in the morning.

My Cliffhanger character from my novel The Symposium of Justice was autobiographical, just for the record.  The character I created for Tail of the Dragon was a version of that which had accepted a degree of submission in his life until he reached a breaking point.  Cliffhanger never reached a point like that—which many publishers and book review professionals have told me is “unrelateable” to the general public.  Cliffhanger is intellectually unreachable for most people, and I know that—I know why, how, and for how long and I’m OK with it—because it’s autobiographical.  I wrote Tail of the Dragon to show that I could come off my personal mountain and speak the language of everyone else, but even then, Fletcher Finnegan was beyond the reach of most.  Not because he wasn’t a compelling character full of motivation, but it’s what drives that motivation that begins the difficulty.

If over the last year you invited me for a drink and I went, I must really, really like you—and for the record one person asked me about 6 times and I did go twice—and they know who they are.   I struggle to find time to be with all the people who want some of my attention.  I simply can’t do it—I don’t have the time.  I reflected at my mother’s Thanksgiving Day meal that they only live about 2 miles from my home, yet I only saw them 3 times the entire duration of 2013.  The reason is not that I don’t care about them, but they are on a different set of tracks that don’t intersect with mine very often.  Typically, I read, write, and think for 19-20 hours per day, every day.  Thinking is my hobby, and is as important to me as breathing.  Climates where people are busy trying to forget are not conducive to the thinking I enjoy doing, so I turn down social invitations nearly 95% of the time.  Out of all the invites, I give in one or two times a year just to show people who I respect their friendships—but at home are my stacks and stacks of books, notes and a view of the woods that is the focus of much contemplation—and there’s no place else that I’d rather be.

One of my favorite all time movies is The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and in that film Clint Eastwood says, “In this world there are two kinds of people my friend, those with loaded guns, and those who dig—you dig.”  There is a truth to that statement that extends to a logic bedded deep in our human hearts and minds—it permeates time and space through many cultural manifestations and made that movie not just a good one—but a great one.  But why, and how—it was a question that started me on this quest beginning at age 19.  Instead of learning to shoot like Clint Eastwood did in that film, the quest became an intellectual one leading to hours and hours of solitary confinement—hours of practicing bullwhips in my back yard putting out candles with a crack, and thinking about why some men have guns while others are always carrying shovels.  In that answer was the solution as to why communism will never work, why economies rise and fall, and why some people are smart while others are stupid.

My purpose for writing this blog is not for those who carry shovels and dig—the media types who do what their editors tell them to, or to the public education employees who have had their intellectual curiosity extinguished in exchange for a stolen pay check paid for by tax payers.  I don’t write it for the typical Entertainment Tonight viewer who is only concerned about gossip and nonsense.  I don’t even write it to win elections—although I often have my hopes and endorse candidates and ideals occasionally.  I share my notes with the general public now instead of scattered notes written down everywhere just to capture thoughts as I think them—because I am intellectually reloading the guns of those who have them—metaphorically speaking.  I know who reads here, and most of them are leaders in powerful places who shape policy.  Some of them are Supreme Court members—you know who you are, they are powerful national politicians, they are local politicians they are leaders of political activism, they run business, they run media and all of them are shackled by their social roles to express the things I do, which they also feel.  What they all share in common is that they tend to be leaders—not followers—they carry guns, not shovels.

Clint Eastwood’s line in that famous movie is another way of articulating Pirsig’s train theory—there are some people who are on the cutting edge, and some who are content to remain in the caboose.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  But to say things another way—a more appropriate way is to say that some people are meant to be leaders and are others second-handers leading democracies to always fail as a stable form of government always slipping into an abyss of collectivism if allowed to evolve on their own.  My character of Cliffhanger from The Symposium of Justice is named as such because he is always on the cutting edge, he is at the front of Pirsig’s train.  He pulls society along—they feed off him and his strength.  The conflict occurs when they (society) wish to believe that they guide the train, which they do not.  They are only passengers—or otherwise “second-handers” the way Ayn Rand defined them in her 1943 novel The Fountainhead.  “Whether explicitly or otherwise, the independent man grasps the distinction between the metaphysical and the man-made.  Conformity to the metaphysically given, he understands, is essential to successful action; the man-made may be accepted only if and when it achieves or flows from such conformity.  This kind of individual fulfills the basic requirement of human survival: he knows how–by reference to what absolute—to form his ideas and choose his actions. 

“To the second-hander, by contrast, the man-made—whether rational or irrational, true or false, good or evil—becomes the equivalent of realty.  This kind of individual, having detached himself from the realm of existence, has no standard by which to judge others; he has no way to know whose ideas to follow, whose behavior to copy, whose favor to curry.  Such a person reduces himself to helplessness, the fundamental helplessness of having left his life to the mercy of blind chance.  The result is most people’s desperate need for an authority, religious or secular, who will take over their lives, make their value-judgments, and tell them what to do.  The independent man will refuse any such role, but the worst second-hander of all, the power luster is eager to accept it.  Thereafter, he destroys everyone, including himself.  In other words, people at the back of Pirsig’s train are second-handers and unfit to make leadership decisions because the point of decision-making is at the front of the train where the leaders reside.  And society does not have an abundance of leaders at the front to make decisions.  We do not produce enough of them—and this is a major problem.  The second-hander is the person who spends their lives digging under the threat of those with metaphorical guns.

Barack Obama is a second-hander because he is clearly in the back of the decision-making train and always has been.  His power comes second-hand, through lies, manipulation, coercion and political help.  By the time the train passes a spot of decision-making, it has passed a point where Obama could ever make a correct decision.  Lakota schools and the employees of the last tax increase are second-handers in that they believe that what they instruct in the back of the train can influence the direction of society.  But it is impossible because they are at the back well behind the point of decision-making and can only react to the fate of the train on the track wherever it may go.  Most of the media are second-handers because they build their lives around people like Barack Obama, or public schools like Lakota—so they lack any real authority to report how decisions should be made, they can only report what they observe as the train moves down the tracks unable to lead society in any proper direction.  No amount of study can change this nature—no doctorate degree, no level of government sanctioned authority can change these metaphysical laws, they are what they are.  When society holds elections in a democracy, the ballots are cast at the back of the train, not the front—the perception of the elections are shaped entirely by second-handers.  Leaders are not miraculously produced as a result—which is why people are nearly always disappointed by-election results, even if their candidate wins.

What I write here and share as my personal notes in blog form are intended for the type of people who wish to be at the front of the train, and that is typically who reads most often and diligently.  Decisions are made at this point, not in the democracy at the back where those with shovels “dig.”  Those with guns and not afraid to use them have to know where to shoot, and at what—so they must be at the front of the train where they can see.  Everyone else digs in the back letting others make decisions for their lives because they fear the responsibility to do it on their own.

I have never had any desire to be at the back of the train—never one day in my entire life.  I’ve went back there a few times just to see what all the fuss is about only to return to the front out of sheer disgust.  When people provide invites to socialize—those events are always in the back of the train and while there, I cannot see what’s coming down the tracks—and I don’t enjoy that position.  I like to be not just on the front of the train, but hanging over the edge of the front watching the moving tracks rolling by underneath.  I like to be at the furthest point forward that is humanly possible and it doesn’t come from conversations with second-handers.  I do not write these millions upon millions of words to get rich off of appealing to the masses—the second-handers.  The intent is to share my notes with the leaders-the people inclined to sit at the front and make decisions well before anyone else is aware that a decision needs to be made.  Like Clint Eastwood said about guns and digging—the proper way to explain the same metaphor is to state that there are two kinds of people, those who sit at the front of the train and are leaders, and those who simply ride that train, the second-handers.  In a society it takes both to make things work, but it is important to understand that democracy does not work—a society cannot survive if it is run by second-handers.  It must be run by leaders—and this is the point of my many words, notes and future articles.  Second-handers will call these words rants, they will call them “attention grabbers,” they will call them “politically threatening” but they will all be wrong.  They are simply revealing their motives for doing things second-handed, and cannot understand life at the front of the train.  Their opinions do not matter because by the time they make a decision the ability to change directions has already passed—so all their statements constitute noise and nothing more.  I am not concerned about their noise.  I am concerned with what’s coming down the tracks and conversing with those who crave the front of the train away from the second-handers at the back.

With that in mind, I think it is time to start talking more about what’s coming down the tracks instead of all the stupid decisions that weren’t made at important junctures because second-handers through democratic authority gained the ability to lead—to their own peril and many others.  In the future, this will be the direction taken at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.  We know now how we arrived at where we are.  We know who made the dumb decisions and why.  Now we have to distinguish ourselves from them and divide the train up properly into who has the guns and who has the shovels—or more philosophically proper—who has leadership and who are the second-handers.  It is time to let the second-handers know what they are and to shove them out-of-the-way so that we can right our train back on the correct track and get moving in the proper direction.  And that job requires an understanding of what’s coming—which is the summation of my twenty-five years of notes which has given me a map of where we need to go.  So it’s time to use it.  I do not care about the squawks of the second-handers, their protests, their opinions, their cries for help, or their desire for comfort.  Nothing they say will help—it’s just noise in the background as the train barrels down the tracks.  I don’t even care to sell them souvenirs on the journey because that requires interaction with them, and I can’t stand these days to do even that.  Leadership is all that matters and seeing what’s coming before we get to a point of being beyond where decisions no longer matter.   That is where all the notes, the reading, and writing are intended to go, and where my focus will reside.  If it makes the second-handers angry, so be it.  Instead of calling them all the names which is the result of their social position, like Marxists, socialists, progressives, communists, school teachers—etc, I think it’s time to let them know their true place on the train—and the proper name of their kind.  As Clint Eastwood said, there are those with guns and those who dig.  Rich Hoffman says, “there are those who are “cliffhanger’s” hanging over the front of the train on its perilous journey, and those who are second-handers who sit in the back and are victims to wherever the train goes.”  My effort goes to those at the front of the train—as those in the back are only capable of observing the world as it goes by.

Replacing John Boehner: Meet J.D. Winteregg

For me the situation is clear, I’ll support J.D. Winteregg to run against John Boehner in the primary coming up as opposed to the other challenger who spoke at the West Chester Tea Party in a short introduction and debate against my neighbor Eric Gurr—a very nice guy, smart man, but too much of a political insider.  J.D. has a new penny feel about him, and after hearing him speak, I believe he is incorruptible.  I’ve known a few people over the years that can walk through the valley of sin without falling to temptation, and Eric has that presence about him.  It will take that kind of person to knock off Boehner, and do what is required in Washington D.C. in the seat that Boehner vacates.  But don’t just take my word for it, watch the debate for yourself—where both J.D. Winteregg and Eric Gurr introduce their basic platforms and do a bit of Q & A at the end through debate fashion.  Both guys did a pretty good job at this early stage.  Neither are slick politicians—but that’s a good thing when it is considered that the task at hand is to knock off the Speaker of the House—the third most powerful job in the entire world.

John Boehner has been in Congress representing the 8th District since 1990.  He’s been in that position my children’s entire life, and they are now both married and having kids of their own.  He’s been in Washington too long.  I know he’s a nice guy, but I’m sure the same could be said of Obama privately.  Boehner is just bad for the job.  It became clear to me that Boehner had fallen in love with Washington D.C. when he was caught on a hot mike talking to Joe Biden about golf before the President addressed the nation with a yearly speech.  Obama obviously has intentions to grossly expand government which is a real and serious threat to everyone’s livelihoods who actually work at real jobs—and hob knobbing with the powerful elite while they do it is just neglectful.  It has become obvious that Obama and John Boehner are not that far apart on many issues.  Boehner plays the Republican act for the cameras, and fundraising speeches, but it is obvious he doesn’t believe what he says because he doesn’t act on his promises—such as someone’s going to “jail over the IRS.”  Boehner like Obama just delivers lines of dialogue and seems to believe in nothing.

When a politician like John Boehner “compromises” he’s done, not because compromise is a dirty word, but because the implication of that task states clearly that a person is willing to yield their values for the collective good of democracy.  The trouble with that is the other side does not function from a value system, so compromise to them costs nothing—because they have nothing to yield.  The compromise exclusively comes from those who do have value—people like Boehner—and he has for over twenty years compromised, and compromised, and compromised until he has allowed the Republican right to be pulled so far to the political left that he could likely hold a job right now in the Clinton White House of the 1990s.

Boehner plays too many Washington games, and he loses most of them. Whether it’s the government shut down, the debt ceiling, Health Care which was rammed through Congress on his watch, his failure to go after Obama on several potentially impeachable offenses—Benghazi, the IRS, the NSA, the political appointments, Boehner has shown that he’s comfortable in Washington.  He likes it and for a representative from Ohio, he is not representing it in the Belt Way—giving politicians like Obama leverage in all negotiations.  It is obvious that in the poker games of Washington, John doesn’t know what he’s doing, or what his opponents are doing to him.  Boehner is continuously out-maneuvered by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for God’s sake—and those people are complete idiots.  I am convinced that Boehner was elected Speaker of the House not for his skill as a Speaker, but for his naive complacency—his aloofness toward the crimes going on in the House under his nose which is enriching its members.  Boehner is Speaker of the House to keep the status quo functioning with excuses and promises while the trio of Reid, Pelosi, and Obama run him down over and over like Enos on the old television show, The Dukes of Hazzard.

On a rainy January in 2011 I went down to John’s office during lunch to speak to his “people,” the same guys who were in the audience scouting the competition trying to knock off their boss in the video above.  I wanted to give Boehner a formal letter, and actually hoped to catch him in town, as I knew he was back home at the time.  When I got to the office, they hadn’t seen Boehner even though he lives right down the road—and that little aspect of Boehner’s management style spoke volumes about the current Speaker of the House—he’s out of touch.  Boehner after 20 years in Congress has been out-witted one too many times and the way he attempts to overcome his intellectual naiveté is to play golf with his enemies and compromise.  When Boehner compromises with Obama it is always the GOP which gives up something because Obama is a classic thief—a looter who gains everything he has in life by taking from others.  Obama never gives up anything because he never earned anything.  John Boehner on the other hand has always done for himself—but he gives Obama equal value at the bargaining table with a compromise.  It’s like going to a garage sale and buying a new television in exchange for a pack of stolen laundry plucked off a neighbor’s cloths line.  Boehner has the television; Obama has the bag of laundry.  Boehner gives Obama the television, and Boehner gets a bag of laundry that the owner eventually comes looking for and thinks that it was Boehner who stole it in the first place, because it’s in his hands.  Obama goes home and watches football on the television while Boehner defends himself in court for stealing laundry from people’s back yards.  That is what Democrats call “compromise.”

The Speaker of the House should know how to defend himself from those types of political games, but Boehner clearly doesn’t.  Like Enos in The Dukes of Hazzard, John Boehner is a good man pushed around constantly by the Boss Hoggs of Capital Hill, and he falls for just about every scheme imaginable.  He has been kept as Speaker because the thieves, looters and barons know that they can continue their crimes against the tax payer so long as John Boehner is in charge—and that is just an insult to the people of the 8th District, and to himself.  It is painful to watch Boehner struggle through all the various controversies that the Obama administration has served up to him, and he misses again and again the opportunity to deliver a spike.  It’s like watching a child in tee-ball who can’t swing a bat and hit the ball set up on a tee.  It’s just pathetic.

So it’s time for Boehner to go and send a message to Washington that an established (powerful) Republican can be knocked out of his seat by someone new—someone like J.D. Winteregg.  If the Republicans fail to gain seats in the House after the Obamacare debacle, then they are complete idiots anyway—and hopeless beyond repair.  Obamacare is not just a ball placed on a tee for the GOP to hit, but it’s already been knocked out into the field for them.  All they have to do is run the bases.  So losing Boehner in the primary is of little consequence to the GOP.  We can afford it as an investment into a new kind of government where the Speaker is actually in his office when he’s in town, and doesn’t think first of playing golf while the other side is pulling his underwear up over his head like a Three Stooges skit.  It’s time for someone else to take John’s seat, and for me it would be J.D. Winteregg.

Operation Underground Railroad: A hope for tomorrow that too many children need

My stance about public education over time has changed from primary concerns about finance, taxes, and teacher unions to the safety and preservation of young minds.Young people are the future of our country and the mind that drives young people is vastly more important than any other economic or social element.  So great care needs to be applied to promoting the most aggressive growth of their world outlook—and in public education when a trusted teacher or administrator uses children as a sexual outlet—not only is the act despicable, but it stunts the wonderful growth that might otherwise occur in a young person.  This kind of thing happens too often in public education because teacher unions prevent proper accountability giving refuge to the vile and evil among our human populations.  Even worse than the high cost of education, teacher unions are allowing too many sexual deviants to be employed in close proximity to children.

Sex trafficking of children is something I feel very passionate about.  I have talked about it here many times, and I find it to be the most horrendous human endeavor currently occurring.  People who seem rational, sane, and logically good are buying plane tickets to Southeast Asia too often to engage in sex with under aged children.  Too many grown adults deep into the corruption of their depleted ages seek out to psychologically destroy the innocence of youth as though they unconsciously are aware that they are out to eradicate optimism in the world because they can no longer touch it.  Like parasites they seek to steal it sexually through children—and it is one of the vilest practices currently happening anywhere.

Glenn Beck told his audience Wednesday November 13th, 2013 that they helped raise $300,000 in a single day to combat child sex trafficking after a broadcast and promotion of the new group Operation Underground Railroad, which I deeply support.  Thanks to the efforts of The Blaze readers, two Operation Underground Railroad jump teams have already been deployed to rescue more victims.  Operation Underground Railroad is a group of freedom fighters intent to end the worst aspect of modern slavery, funneled through the sex trade industry.  Some of the primary members have been working undercover for the American government for many years, but are sick and tired of just going after the effect of sex trafficking, the poor kids stolen all over the world to be used as sex slaves to punks, drug dealers, scum bags, and dick-heads.  However, those efforts have not been enough.  So Operation Underground Railroad members have decided to treat the cause, not the symptom and go after the losers who support human trafficking directly with assaults going straight to the door of evil.

Needless to say, I am a fan.  If they want any help busting those scum bags they can give me a call anytime.  It would be MY PLEASURE.  But these guys at Operation Underground Railroad are professionals fully capable of taking care of these perpetrators on their own.  What they need most is MONEY.  It costs a lot to send up a plane and go on a mission to a far away land to rescue children from the evil that seeks to consume them.  Endeavors like what Operation Underground Railroad are embarking on often take six figures to launch at a minimum not because the guys are getting rich off the effort, but because air plane operation and residence in a foreign country is extremely expensive.  So money is needed to launch missions to the doors of evil and rescue the children enslaved under the architects of evil.  The slave holders of the sex trade also need to be punished.  They do not respect the court systems of the world and believe that their money can always purchase lawyers who will keep them out of trouble.  This has allowed abuse in a similar way as the teacher unions have in public schools to advance the sex trade industry at an explosive rate.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/11/13/the-staggering-amount-of-money-glenn-becks-audience-raised-in-a-day-to-combat-child-sex-trafficking/#

No child anywhere should ever have to worry about becoming a sex trade slave.  No child should ever have their innocence robbed from them to fulfill the fantasy of some bloated adult corrupted by their mismanaged lives.  No child should ever grow up in fear of anything—because that is a direct failure of the adults who care for them.  It is preposterous—and unforgivable! No child should be bullied, should have their mind stagnated, or worry that some stranger might sweep them up and whisk them away to have their lives ruined to satisfy the sexual hunger of a social parasite.

So please do support Operation Underground Railroad.  Modern slavery is happening right under our noses.  It might even be your next door neighbor.  It might even be you dear reader.  If you participate in pornography chances are, you are supporting the sex trade industry.  If you hooked up with a chick in Vegas who was a nude dancer, chances are she was a used up victim of the sex trade prior to turning 18.  If you went to one of the Nevada whore houses, you are supporting indirectly the sex trade industry which dangles not too far behind the antics of legalized prostitution.  But worse than that, if you went out of the country for the purpose of having sex with a child, you are scum.  You are a vile human being that deserves punishment far beyond any court system of bureaucratic pin heads.  It’s not because you paid money to have the exchange, but because your money went to a slave holder against a child’s will that will impact them for life.  For those types of people, Operation Underground Railroad is targeting and I applaud the effort not just with a standing ovation, but atop the tallest ladder I can find and as high as my hands can reach!  CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO LEARN MORE.

The sex trade industry is driven by a demand piloted by evil.  There is nothing redeeming about sex with innocent children……….nothing.  There is no forgiveness of stealing away innocence from a life that has not yet had the privilege of making decisions about their life.  Unlike the adults who seek out sex with children, a trafficked child does not have a choice.  They can either be killed or allow the imposition upon them—because once they have been taken from the safety of their family environment—they are vulnerable and the crime is against the future potential of that child.  It is wonderful to learn that there are people in Operation Underground Railroad who feel as deeply about this topic as I do.  It is even better to see them seeking out to punish this vile evil where they live—in the darkness of the earths furthers corners.

As for the teachers of public school, if you confiscate cell phones with the hope of seeing topless pictures of your students, or you are texting sexual innuendo to young people fulfilling a deep dark fantasy that you think is carefully hidden, you are flirting with the crimes of the sex trade industry that Operation Underground Railroad is directly fighting—and are part of the problem.  By giving money to Operation Underground Railroad the support structure to defeat such evil is put in place by good honest people who still recognize evil for what it is, and have the back-bone to confront it directly.  There are few organizations that are worth such support these days, and I feel privileged to know that Operation Underground Railroad is out there doing what I wish I could do—beat the sex trade industry at its doorstep, and give a few more children hope for a tomorrow that they wouldn’t otherwise have.

The Pornography of Joan Powell and Micheal Clark: An unholy alliance of media and government

Another lap dog of the Lakota school system during the election of 2013 was Michael Clark of the Cincinnati Enquirer whose interview with Joan Powell prior to the levy vote was so close to pornographic that it should have been rated XXX.  CLICK HERE TO SEE IT.  Those two should have at least gotten a room and not done their dirty deeds under the roof of a tax payer building.  By definition, pornography in this case is:  the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction.  We already knew what kind of guy Clark was.  His wife is employed by public schools, so all his articles have a pro-government school slant.  He did give No Lakota Levy a little coverage, just to keep the story line compelling, but nothing that would cause any danger.  No Lakota Levy spent thousands of dollars on Enquirer ads, and Clark did seek out opposing opinions like the one below where he did confirm what I had said on election night, that many NO Voters did not show up at the election—because they took it for granted.  Here is a quote from Clark’s recent article on the matter:

Bob Hutsenpiller, a local business exec and a leader of the No Lakota tax campaign, also cited the sparse ballot:

 

“That was part of Lakota’s strategy, with not a lot of things for (voters) to vote on. Sorry to say, but I have heard it from many seniors already who say ‘I should have gotten more involved.’”

 

Ron Lumpkins, a longtime resident of Liberty Township whose children graduated from Lakota decades ago, said the few local issues and races weren’t compelling enough to get him to vote. “When you get older and your kids have graduated years ago, you aren’t that involved with the schools,” he said.

Anti-tax sentiments were also active among some school parents.

 

“We’re already taxed to death so I wasn’t for it,” said Robby Smith of West Chester Township, who said he did not cast a ballot Tuesday.

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20131110/NEWS0102/311100042/Past-losses-large-turnout-gave-Lakota-rare-levy-win

Those guys were not alone, it appears that there were many anti-tax people who simply thought that the No Lakota Guys had this election in the bag, and they did not show up to vote.  They took the effort against the levy for granted, and as Hutsenpiller said, it was part of the Lakota strategy……….or as Joan Powell uttered………“It is a sum of all the efforts from this campaign and all the work done on previous attempts that set the stage.  The community campaign volunteers did a great job of contacting individual voters through phone calls and person-to-person canvassing. That personal contact was essential.”  Part of that “setting the stage” was to force No Lakota Levy to prove they weren’t a bunch of “meanies” putting them on the defensive with insane accusations and boycott threats.  This kept No Lakota Levy from tapping into the “anger vote” which played into the Pro Levy Lakota strategy, and kept turnout low from the anti-tax faction.  Lakota also sought to win over all members of the media………..particularly 700 WLW which No Lakota Levy had a forum in the previous three elections.  Through Willies in West Chester and Sheriff Jones, Lakota attacked that format not so they could communicate why Lakota schools needed a tax increase, but to keep No Lakota Levy from having a platform to tell the truth.  Lakota sought to keep the truth away from people.  They certainly sought to control the information which reporters like Clark willingly obliged.

After the election the pro tax people were beating on their chests proclaiming that the “majority had spoken.”  I covered this in another article.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  If Lakota really wanted to know what the majority thought, they’d support another vote giving people like Robby Smith, and Ron Lumpkins another shot to defend themselves from Lakota.  Statistically, the election was that close and if anybody really cared, all the votes would be heavily scrutinized which would close the gap even further.  The election is a statistical tie as it stands today, and another election would be justified if the “will of the majority” were really desired……….but its not.  Lakota doesn’t care what the majority wants, they simply want a higher tax, and they will do anything and destroy anybody to get it.  That’s all they stand for and ultimately what they are teaching children at Lakota.

It is hilarious that so many of these reporters believe they are fighting a moral crusade to pass a higher tax just because people like Joan Powell—who is a realtor, wants to use Lakota schools to sell easy homes to a bunch of panicky 30 something parents with school age children.   The levy for people like her is to make money for her profession, and most of the staunchest levy supporters have their hands in real estate from the residential side—because it helps fill their pockets with money.  The crimes against children are obvious yet people like Clark continue to support public education because ultimately he benefits from it.  That’s OK; time will confirm all these accusations.  The writing is on the wall, and history will prove what I’m saying to be right.  Many people like Robby Smith and Ron Lumkin are not quite yet ready to admit to themselves what a corrosive force public education is in our communities so they don’t feel passionate enough about it to vote during off-season elections.  They regret it now, but in the future they will act on their impulse much sooner, because it didn’t take long for the Lakota thugs to show their true colors.  No Lakota Levy warned everyone, the media sought to suppress the message, but the information was on websites free to everyone.  And that information will be true tomorrow as it was yesterday, and we will be there for the next time………….because you better believe it…………..there will be a next time.

Meanwhile, now that the levy is over, maybe Lakota will consider raising more money for the future by selling the pornography between Joan Powell and Michael Clark.  Then again, after looking at the pictures of Joan during the levy party at BW3’s……….maybe not.

Positivism: The driver of government corruption

It’s Election Night and likely there are issues that you dear reader are rejoicing about, and others that are making your stomach churn in knots.  There were a lot of school levies on the ballot, many from districts that just passed tax increases a couple of years ago, like Fairfield, and Lebanon.  Others like Lakota are trying yet again as nearby Mason watches closely with their foot in the water to see if it’s safe for them to try again.  Regardless of the ones that pass or fail, the basic concept is flawed and needs to be addressed.   All public schools are government-run and are grossly inefficient.  They are dominated by government unions that need to be dismantled in favor of competition because they are functional monopolies.  Public education is what many fear Health Care is becoming, a government monopoly full of inefficiencies, high costs, and lack of choices.  Even worse is the feeling of doom one has when dealing with any government institution.  In the case of school levies, the ones that fail will be put right back on the ballot as the administrations will not respect the will of the voters.  The ones that pass will be back on the ballot in about four years.  I often refer to this ridiculous system as a communist plot, which it was—but the philosophy of this folly deserves deeper analysis.

Most of America is shaking its head right now at the audacity of Barack Obama and the trail of lies that extend behind him for as far as the eye can see.  Americans just don’t understand what is going on; they don’t see how a president can lie so much, so often and get away with it.  Yet they participate in the process of allowing him to do it by their silent endorsement. Obama is an educator; he is a former instructor at the University of Chicago and a member of the academic elite.  Vice President Biden’s wife is a former teacher as many within the president’s inner circle are big government statists who believe that it is their intellectual majority which rules the world tomorrow.  But this still doesn’t explain how they can lie so adamantly to the cameras of the press and speak in front of millions openly advocating ideals they know are false.

The key to the beliefs of Barack Obama and every government school in America is that they all subscribe to a political theory debated for centuries called Positivism as the root of human freedom.  Positivism is the law that states reality is anything that the government says it is.  Positivism requires that all laws be written down and that there are no theoretical or artificial restraints on the ability of a popularly elected government to enact whatever laws it wishes.  Positivism postulates that literally, the majority always rules, and always gets its way.  Positivism is the primary driver of a democracy.  If a majority of the people want it, then law is built around that belief.

For secular progressives this is why they wish to remove God as any kind of reference of belief.  In order for Positivism to work, the collective will of the masses must be held in reverence, not an individual God promoting Natural Law.  Positivists must always focus on gaining control of the masses in order to bend the collective will of all human beings toward their desire.  This is why The White House believes that Benghazi is no longer relevant, because their public relations machine has turned public sentiment against the investigation of American deaths there.  Yet under the same effort, they deny that Americans are against Obamacare, so they continually search for ways to gain majority opinion so that they can use Positivism to override any pending legal questions arising from forcing every human being in America into purchasing a product whether they wish to or not.  Democrats in this case can obtain the majority rule by giving away enough free healthcare to put those in opposition into the minority—so they are refusing to look at reality stalling long enough to get a majority of the country signed up on the exchanges.  Once that is done statists like Obama can ignore the Natural Law violations of Obamacare in favor of the Positivism of the masses, and their desire for free healthcare from the minority.  This is how Obama in good conscience can lie, cheat and deceive so easily, because to him, Natural Law—those given to every human being by God is meaningless in the face of Positivism provided by government through democratic rule—rule by the majority.  If the majority is ignorant, and recklessly foolish, that does not matter to the positivists, because the masses always rule.   This whole concept of the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few goes back further than Karl Marx, but it was communism that most aggressively embraced the implementation of democracy.  Positivism is the law of thinking that drives the desire for communism, socialism or any form of collective society.

For the same reasons, public schools functioning from the same generally philosophy of Positivism will ignore the results of the school levies if they do not go their way because the collective will of their school boards, the state education boards, and the teachers unions do not support the Natural Law which individual votes cast toward their cause.  They, as an education institution have a collectively held desire to obtain higher taxes, and “THEY” will not stop asking until they get it.  They think this way because they are functioning from Positivism and believe they are owed something just because they desire it as a mass whole.  It does not matter to them that their need is only one of many demographic factors because as an institution they have majority rule within the context of their social structure.  This means they will ignore election results until their reality is validated by a majority of the public who tires under constant levy requests.

America was founded on the ideal of Natural Law, meaning that law extends from human nature, which is created by God—whatever form one holds God to be.  Natural Law states that all human beings desire freedom from artificial restraint.  Because all human beings desire freedom from artificial restraint and because all human beings yearn to be free, our freedoms stem from our nature—from our very humanity.  For those who wish to believe that government is the center of the universe, Natural Law is dangerous because it prohibits the majority rule they desire—it muddies up the water keeping a society from functioning as a collective whole.  This is why Obama thinks the Tea Party is more dangerous apparently than the Taliban.  The Taliban at least is an organization functioning from Positivism while the Tea Party is insisting on Natural Rights.

Regardless of how the election goes, the real battle is not between who wins or loses at the ballot box on November 5th 2013.  The real fight is between Natural Law and Positivism.  Until a majority of Americans recognize Natural Law as the primary driver of prosperity in their lives, the school levies will not stop, government statists like Obama will continue to lie and deceive, and America will continue on a path toward socialism as opposed to capitalism.  The key to solving the problem is in rejecting Positivism and politicians who believe that government is the giver of rights, and embracing Natural Law.  Until that happens, every election will be a fight for life or death of not only lives, but entire economies, those at the local level, and of course those flowing out of Washington D.C.

Sheriff Jones Loses To Superintendent Mantia: Another Republican caves to political pressure

Of course Sheriff Jones fresh off his fundraiser duties for Cindy Carpenter is going to vote for the Lakota Levy.  He is part of the same generation that gave us all Medicare, huge national debts, and supports the kind of Republican that John Kasich is now, and the kind John Boehner has always been, soft compromising losers who allow themselves to be talked in to spending other people’s stolen tax money for the “greater good.”  Jones like those other Republicans has also recently caved on his position, where he stated he would not support a Lakota levy until there were police officers in the school hired to  protect students to avoid another Sandy Hook massacre—which Lakota has tried to exploit as a reason to support more tax increases.  Lakota blew off Jones and all his supposed power in politics to play their same hard-line yank to the left for all their opponents.  John Kasich lost to Obama going from a Tea Party governor, to a boot licking, money groveling advocate of Obamacare, in part because of Jones who worked the issue through his friend Bill Cunningham in the wake of the Senate Bill 5 debate, Boehner lost directly to Obama as a comfortable fat cat Washington insider caving on the government shutdown and presenting to the nation Obamacare, and Jones lost to Lakota, who blew him off with their open extortion tactic of not supporting Jones’ recommendation, and decided to not entertain the idea of hiring police for building security until they twisted more money out of the community with a tax increase.  So it comes as no surprise that Jones has come out in support of the Lakota levy.  In the past Sheriff Jones’ police officers watched openly the theft of many thousands of dollars of No Lakota Levy campaign signs, and did nothing about it.  After all, the police and teachers are basically all government union brothers and sisters, so they have each other’s back.

But there was a Letter to the Editor in this week’s Today’s Pulse which took the opposite position of Sheriff Jones regarding the Lakota levy and pointed out the game superintendent Mantia is really playing, which ultimately defeated Jones.  Jones drew a hard-line in the sand about security at Lakota, similar to Obama’s hard line with Syria, only to have Mantia ignore it in much the way that Obama’s was ignored.  In the end, it was Jones who ended up eating out of Mantia’s hand ignoring the obvious ploy of extortion which is revealed to anybody paying attention.  The letter writer below did notice.

Law enforcement people told the school district that seven additional security people are needed to protect Lakota from a tragedy like Newtown. Lakota has given no indication of taking action on this recommendation and is delaying hiring pending passage of the November levy. The cost for this added security is $350K per year.

At a special July 8th school board meeting that focused on putting the levy on the ballot, I spoke to the board and Dr. Mantia about the need to immediately take action on hiring the recommended seven people.  Stating that the student’s safety is a number one priority, Dr. Mantia said it was also essential to balance the budget.  When a school board member questioned her if there was a plan on how to proceed with the hiring, the superintendent did not answer his question.

There are two elements of increasing the security of Lakota’s facilities – changes to the building’s physical structure and a visible presence of security personnel. Common knowledge that someone may be present to stop a dangerous intruder is a very effective way to deter violence on Lakota’s campus. The potential of a counterforce presence can actually be more potent than other security measures like cameras or limited access entrances.

On May 29th, the board summarily approved $534K to blacktop parking lots and tennis courts.  At the September 30th meeting, the district had an excess of 90-days available operating cash (the district spends on average about $400K a day), and it projects that it will have almost $1.4 million in surplus for the 2013-2014 year.

The Lakota school board is pregnant with the knowledge that steps need to be and can be immediately taken to improve student’s safety. Delaying hiring security people so that it is dependent on the levy’s passage borders on extortion.

John Halase

West Chester

During the last school board meeting there was a presentation about Facilities and Security.  Some schools have their main office in the middle of the building instead of adjacent to the entry doors.  The plan is to convert classrooms by the doors to offices and force pass throughs to the office.  Lakota indicated that they already have cameras looking at the doors and buzzer access after students’ morning entry.  One school has a curved front, and they said that it would take extra work.  That is the scope of the $6.3M Mantia said would be spent on security.  What Lakota is really doing is taking extra class-rooms which are emptying because there are fewer students with the declining enrollment and hiding that fact from the public by using them for “pass throughs” for so-called security purposes—which is laughable.  When the subject of that declining enrollment was brought up, Mantia was sensitive to it.  She argued that the district cut 150 teachers and they are short-staffed.  (based on what?)  She said there isn’t a direct correlation between the number of students and the number of teachers needed.  This too is laughable.  Mantia as a former teacher obviously has been brain-washed to believe the old union talking points—when questioned about anything—blame it on being short-staffed.   This is how Lakota ended up with so many redundant administration positions.  CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO SEE SOME OF THEM.

http://www.nolakotalevy.com/salaries.html

During the last decade when enrollment was going up, Lakota argued they needed more money because of the imposition that more students placed upon their employment base.  Now that the opposite is true, Mantia wishes to convince the tax payers that there is little to no correlation between the numbers of employees and student enrollment numbers.  Really?  That is like McDonald’s declaring that if they only had two customers a day, they’d need a full staff of 25 workers to cover those two people who might come in to order coffee.  It is preposterous.  Mantia is obviously all wrong about her thinking.   Instead of all her proposals for the over $13 million she wants to raise with this new tax increase, she should be looking at massive lay-offs and consolidating some of the empty buildings instead of dumping more money into buildings that only have unneeded employees in them and no students.

Now it is clear why Sheriff Jones is supporting the Lakota levy even though they snubbed him publically.  As a fellow government worker, he is in the same boat as Mantia.  If he were to ever lose support for his budget from the Butler County tax base, he’s facing many of the problems that Lakota is now.  So he really doesn’t have a choice but to support the same system which he also benefits from.  Mantia knew it at the start of his campaign, just like Obama knew that Boehner would cave once the debt ceiling hit.  Republicans do not have the will to cut up the government credit card and Obama played his hand with that knowledge on the government shut down debate.  Mantia knew that Jones did not have the political capital to stand apart from Lakota, so she played her hand against him, and still earned his endorsement.  Her token concession of turning some empty classrooms into “security” zones was enough to let Jones come away from his position of hiring live police officers for increased security, and earn his support.

The people who support the Lakota levy are the people who directly receive benefit from the service directly or indirectly.  Sheriff Jones receives benefit indirectly because so long as people support government schools, they are likely to continue supporting government police officers.  The other Lakota levy supporters like Mantia are voting in favor of their pay checks.  There isn’t anywhere else a person like her would make a quarter million dollars.  If she wasn’t in government she’d be lucky to make $9 dollars an hour in the private sector as her skills would be worthless as a token administrator.  Mantia also protects the teaching profession which gave her that looting opportunity so that future generations of teachers can do as she has and build high paying careers by playing the kind of games she did with Sheriff Jones, raking in a bounty that would make Caribbean pirates shy with bragging rights.  The other supporters are parents who want the services of a private education without having to actually pay for it, so they support the tax increase to feel like good parents when they are really just too busy to do the job themselves and expect the community to fund it for them.  They all have in common a love of social looting to serve their purposes.  They all support each other’s efforts even when they put on a show of discontent.  In the end, they are one and the same, part of the massive blob called collective government statists intent on the eradication of capitalism, and the new dawn of a socialist day where they will be exempt from the massive middle class and function as one of the social elite of public service.

CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT JONES SAID AND LEARN HOW LAKOTA DISMISSED HIM.  IT WOULD APPEAR THAT LAKOTA ONLY CARES ABOUT SCHOOL SAFETY IF THE LEVY PASSES.  IF IT DOES, THEN JONES GETS HIS ARMED SECURITY……………………….MAYBE.  LOL

The Panic Driven Lakota Looter: Helping the pro levy side find some help

If you are a Frito eating, couch sitting, pill popping insecure parent who is seeking a free education for your children off the backs of residents in the Lakota school district I want to help you with an announcement.  The school principals working with the various PTO groups at Lakota are frustrated that there aren’t more social degenerates to join their ranks in this election of 2013.  They are concerned that there doesn’t seem to be the same “passion” for helping to pass a devastating tax increase this time around.  At least that is the word from within their pro levy ranks.  Outwardly, it is business as usual—apply socialist leaning tax increases to brainwash children into mass collectivism—and lie, cheat and steal to accomplish the task.

So just to make this election a little more balanced, I want to help those enemies of intelligence by distributing their advertisement for a Pro Levy rally that is being organized by the Endeavor PTO group—the type of people I called “latte sipping prostitutes” during the last election.  CLICK HERE TO READ THAT ENQUIRER ARTICLE AND REVIEW MY OPINION OF THESE PEOPLE.  They are at it again, but this time fewer people seem interested in helping the school principals dodge Ohio state law working in favor of tax increases with brain-dead, neurotic levy supporters as their foot soldiers of social destruction.  So for those who are stupid enough to vote for a school levy and secretly seek a baby sitter to watch their children because they are too lazy to care for them personally, below is an event you will want to attend, to be around like-minded pro tax supporters.  As for the rest, here is a glimpse into the mind of social menaces disguised as smiling community patriots.  In reality most of them are simply latte sipping prostitutes with asses………………..well you know the rest.

Hello Endeavor Staff and PTO!

Thank you for sharing your personal emails with me so I can efficiently communicate levy campaign information. (A couple of the staff emails I received are not valid, so please communicate this information with your colleagues.  Jen and Kym, please forward to everyone you can!)  We have two important events coming up as we head into the home stretch of the campaign and we need our Endeavor community to help us make them successful!

October 26th Caravan and Rally!

 

Join us at Endeavor at 9:00 am for this fun event to generate excitement and encourage early voting!

We will dress up our cars and caravan through the community on our way to Plains where we will meet up with the rest of LAKOTA  at 10:00 am for a brief rally, celebration and prizes.  We will have decorating supplies on hand along with donuts and coffee to fuel our spirits.  (Feel free to bring your own decorations as well!  You can print “For Lakota” logos at forlakota.com.)

Following the program, join the group as we head to the Board of Elections to cast our ballots and be counted!

Bring your friends, bring your neighbors and LET’S GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!

Please let me know if you are able to join us so I know how many supplies to purchase.  Let’s make Endeavor’s caravan the most impressive!!!

October 30th Canvassing!

 

I PROMISE it won’t be as bad as it sounds!  Endeavor already filled a phone banking session back in September and made HUNDREDS of calls in less than 2 hours – and everyone came out alive!  🙂  Now it’s time to fill a canvassing session to get people out to VOTE!  As the people who participated in the phone banking can tell you, we are not trying to convince “no” voters to change their minds.  We are simply getting information out and reminding people of the importance of actually casting their ballots.  The levy committee will provide training, including a script and materials. We will travel in teams of 2 so you don’t have to go alone!

We are sharing a session with Heritage on Wednesday, October 30th.  Endeavor is committed to filling 20 spots (10 teams of 2).  We will all meet at Heritage at 4:30 pm for training and then head out from there.  Missy (Heritage’s principal) and I will provide pizza for our awesome volunteers before we hit the pavement.   Please consider volunteering about 3 hours on this evening to help get the “yes” votes to the polls!  Research proves that door to door communication is absolutely critical to winning any campaign.

Please let me know if you are able to support this effort so I can let the committee know how many routes to prepare.  Thanks!

If you cannot participate on the 30th, but would like to help another day, please follow the link below to Sign-Up Genius.

http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4CACAD2CA2FB6-canvassing1

Thanks so much!  Please let me know if you have any questions!

As it can be seen, the principals of several Lakota schools are behind this effort and there are scripts, phone banks and all out attempts to turn NO voters into Yes voters.  They are supposedly doing this on their own time, to avoid violating Ohio law which states that school employees cannot support levy activity. It doesn’t matter to anybody that many of these plans, emails and phone calls do occur during work hours.  But when it comes to what a lot of these school principals get paid at Lakota, a few weekends of time volunteered is worth it to them. Look at what they get paid, seen on the No Lakota Levy website.

Click here to see for yourself! 

http://www.nolakotalevy.com/salaries.html

It becomes clear quickly what’s in it for the school administrators at Lakota.  It’s all about money, and they need enough mindless supporters to jump on board and support their financial scam.  Unfortunately, because of the efforts over the years of educating the public, more people than ever know what is behind these types of games.  It gives me great pride to see that No Lakota Levy has evolved into such a respectable organization that provides so much wonderful content.  It has come a long way from a website that my daughter and I put together on a shoe string budget.  Some of the smartest minds of the Lakota business community are behind the website, and it shows.  I am very proud and happy to share a community with those people as they have taken No Lakota Levy to new levels of competency.

Without groups like No Lakota Levy, there is no defense against the kind of school sponsored activities described in the literature above from the PTO group.  No Lakota Levy today is a kinder, gentler version of a tax fighting organization than when I was with them, but that doesn’t reduce their effectiveness.  I feel more passionately over the wrong doings that occur within the education industry than most people do, so my attitude over public education has reflected that social position.  I obviously do not like supporters and employees of public education for philosophical reasons that I see detrimental to the human race—and capitalism.  The current members of No Lakota Levy are good community minded people who simply wish the facts of the education nightmare currently going on in the Lakota school district be known, and on their new website, they let the facts tell the whole story without a lot of emotion to drive the temperament—which is very good.

The reason for this upcoming Lakota levy, for the proposed impact on businesses, residents barely scraping by, and all the tax payers about to be rampaged with 20% increases in their health care costs due to Obamacare, is to support the salary structure shown above, from the No Lakota Levy website.  The reason that the principals of the schools mentioned are hard at work building a network of levy supporting zombies to do their dirty ground work of tax increase promotion is to protect their wage structure with perceived value hidden behind layers of emotion.  They are protecting their jobs which pay outrageously high benefits for being simply glorified baby sitters, and they need the levy to continue their corrosive pillaging of the Lakota community.

The reason the numbers of people volunteering for these PTO rally events is declining is because more people than ever know why Lakota is financially strapped.  It’s not for lack of money, in the same way that Washington politicians just approved a debt ceiling increase over $17 trillion while tax payers are paying more money to the government than at any point in American history, the government is still spending more money than they are taking in—Lakota plans to spend more money than they take in because of poor management choices—which become glaringly clear when the salary structure is shown.

I’m normally not a person who calls other people names.  I actually do listen to people who think differently than I do.  However, I have learned with these levy supporters that they are fanatically ignorant to the facts of reality and they truly wish to hurt other people with their misguided world view—and neurotic sentiments.  I find them despicable, detrimental to the furtherance of human evolution, and woefully destructive as thinking sentient beings.  I have grown to despise them for their desire to harm entire communities with high taxes based on no fact driven analysis which stays with every single property owner of Liberty and West Chester Townships for most of their lives.  The short-sightedness of the levy supporter angers me greatly.

But even I have a little compassion for them when they try to host a rally, and nobody wants to show up because everyone thinks they are idiots.  They’ll have the usual levy fanatics—the kind of people who still think they are high school cheerleaders and feel so guilty over what crappy parents they are, that they think by passing a levy with all their volunteerism they can show their kids how much they care.  But a vast majority of the people will sit on the sidelines and resent the bastions of greed which the pro levy supporters at Lakota represent because they understand the end game.  The sum of the entire ordeal is in the extraordinary wages the school employees make, and their willingness to use children as emotional hostages in order to secure even more money for themselves at the expense of everyone.  For that reason I think these levy supporters are the most disgusting people I have ever met, and deserve to feel the pain of reality with a NO vote on November 5th.

The Ghost of Bentham: Needs of the many do not outweigh the few

Bill O’Reilly history will remember as one of the most influential people of the 21st Century.  His news show on Fox is an unmitigated success attracting millions of viewers every night Monday through Friday, but that is not the most beneficial aspect of O’Reilly.  O’Reilly will go down in history as one of the most prolific authors of all time as his Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, and now Killing Jesus will sell more books than any handful of top 20 New York Times authors.  His lasting memory will be in his literary legacy, not his television show.  O’Reilly is a “down the middle” kind of guy, and represents well the kind of mind that assisted in voting favorably many of the modern troubles plaguing our nation, such as debt management, welfare support, and public education statism.  That is why it was so remarkable that O’Reilly in the wake of the many debates on Obamacare finally asked the very important question on his show, “does the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”

The answer of course is that it doesn’t, no mob of collective rule has the right over individual citizens.  The needs of the many do not outweigh the needs of the few, and that premise destroys the basic premise of democracy—which causes considerable problems.  This is why O’Reilly finally asked the unsaid question on his show.

Any needs that the many may have over the few which is articulated with such questions are driven straight out of communist text.  It was philosophers like Jeremy Bentham who helped inspire Karl Marx to write The Communist Manifesto which would bring to the world the idea of communism directly attacking capitalism as an economic concept.  Jeremy Bentham (/ˈbɛnθəm/; 15 February 1748 OS – 6 June 1832) was a British philosopher, jurist, and social reformer. He is regarded as the founder of modern utilitarianism.

Bentham became a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law, and a political radical whose ideas influenced the development of welfarism. He advocated individual and economic freedom, the separation of church and state, freedom of expression, equal rights for women, the right to divorce, and the decriminalizing of homosexual acts.[1] He called for the abolition of slavery, the abolition of the death penalty, and the abolition of physical punishment, including that of children.[2] He has also become known in recent years as an early advocate of animal rights.[3] Though strongly in favour of the extension of individual legal rights, he opposed the idea of natural law and natural rights, calling them “nonsense upon stilts”.[4]

Bentham’s students included his secretary and collaborator James Mill, the latter’s son, John Stuart Mill, the legal philosopher John Austin, as well as Robert Owen, one of the founders of utopian socialism. Bentham has been described as the “spiritual founder” of University College London, though he played little direct part in its foundation.[5]

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

Karl Marx’s criticisms of Bentham[edit]

Karl Marx, in Das Kapital, writes:[104]

“ Not even excepting our philosopher, Christian Wolff, in no time and in no country has the most homespun commonplace ever strutted about in so self-satisfied a way. The principle of utility was no discovery of Bentham. He simply reproduced in his dull way what Helvétius and other Frenchmen had said with esprit in the 18th century. To know what is useful for a dog, one must study dog-nature. This nature itself is not to be deduced from the principle of utility. Applying this to man, he who would criticise all human acts, movements, relations, etc., by the principle of utility, must first deal with human nature in general, and then with human nature as modified in each historical epoch. Bentham makes short work of it. With the driest naiveté he takes the modern shopkeeper, especially the English shopkeeper, as the normal man. Whatever is useful to this queer normal man, and to his world, is absolutely useful. This yard-measure, then, he applies to past, present, and future. The Christian religion, e.g., is “useful,” “because it forbids in the name of religion the same faults that the penal code condemns in the name of the law.” Artistic criticism is “harmful,” because it disturbs worthy people in their enjoyment of Martin Tupper, etc. With such rubbish has the brave fellow, with his motto, “nulla dies sine linea”, piled up mountains of books.

”

Marx’s accusation is twofold. In the first place, he says that the theory of utility is true by definition and thus does not really add anything meaningful. For Marx, a productive inquiry had to investigate what sorts of things are good for people—that is, what our nature, alienated under capitalism, really is. Second, he says that Bentham fails to take account of the changing character of people, and hence the changing character of what is good for them. This criticism is especially important for Marx, because he believed that all important statements were contingent upon particular historical conditions.

Marx argues that human nature is dynamic, so the concept of a single utility for all humans is one-dimensional and not useful. When he decries Bentham’s application of the ‘yard measure’ of now to ‘the past, present and future’, he decries the implication that society, and people, have always been, and will always be, as they are now; that is, he criticizes essentialism. As he sees it, this implication is conservatively used to reinforce institutions he regarded as reactionary. Just because in this moment religion has some positive consequences, says Marx, doesn’t mean that viewed historically it isn’t a regressive institution that should be abolished.

Bentham was creating the foundations of utopian socialism at a time when America was fighting for its independence from the same imperial forces that created the left leaning philosopher.  Today, because of Star Trek using the character of Spock to utter the sensibilities of Bentham the entire world has come to believe that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, which is a communist foundation concept.  While Marx was critical of the looseness of Bentham’s definitions, he used the direction to shape his own philosophy of Marxism.

It is to support this foundation of collectivism that public education institutions have been targeted as factories of making students ignorant instead of brilliant, because the goal is to train the masses to be unchallenging servants to the political rulers of the current age.  By “dumbing down” the masses through the education process, modern statists do not have to concern themselves with being smarter than their potential rivals for power, and seek to keep the masses at their back with stupidity—which is the ultimate failure of Bentham’s philosophic premise.  The needs of the many simply become a mob of ignorant souls under any political system—and nothing good comes of it in the long run.  Man-kind simply regresses.

So the answer to Bill’s question is that, YES, it is morally wrong to enforce the needs of the many at the expense of the few—because often it is the few, the exceptional, and the driven that create everything that the many enjoy.  When the few are penalized, tortured, and ran into the ground—sacrificed like offerings to the Mayan gods of the Yucatan Peninsula, then society will crumble completely and the needs of the many will grow as there will be nobody to provide substance to them—since they pillaged all value from society with their unchecked demands.

Public Schools That Cheat To Pass Levies: Nothing is against the law when children are used for extortion

If anybody ever wanted proof that public schools are quite blatant in their willingness to break the law to pass school levies, just examine the latest article done by the Cincinnati Enquirer who did a good bit of reporting off a public record request.  They discovered that 49 of Southwest Ohio’s public school systems, nine use payroll deductions to raise campaign money which is illegal.  The guilty schools are Kings, Mason, Fairfield, Middletown, Loveland, Madeira, Mariemont, Reading and West Clermont.  Read some of the selected details of that article below or check the full story at the link.

The districts collect the employees’ voluntary contributions and forward the money to private campaign organizations.

It’s an illegal use of resources and personnel of publicly funded schools, asserts Christopher Finney, attorney and founding member of the Hamilton County-based Citizens Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST).

Finney cites Ohio Revised Code 3315.07, which states in part “no board of education shall use public funds to support or oppose the passage of a school levy or bond issue or to compensate any school district employee for time spent on any activity intended to influence the outcome of a school levy or bond issue.”

Finney says the practice is surprisingly blatant.

“It’s outrageous because typically the abuse of tax dollars to advance the cause of bigger government is usually more subtle,” he said.

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20131007/NEWS0102/310070021?gcheck=1&nclick_check=1

Other schools such as Lebanon and Lakota are not on the list, but are very careful about what they do because both those communities have activists reporting the many indiscretions committed by the public institutions.  They watch closely what they get caught doing.  Their crimes are harder to discover by reporters on their lunch time investigations.  If activist elements were not present, Lakota and Lebanon would easily join the above list.

The importance of this information is the display of the willingness public schools exhibit to break the law to protect their extortive tax increase practices.  They know that a public records request will reveal their actions, yet they do it anyway—and they don’t care if they are caught.  Their disregard of the law is malicious and they do it because they are a monopoly operation, and know that their customers have nowhere else to go but to their door step.

Of course this leads to the next question—what do these same schools participate in that they wish to hide?  To what extent are they willing to protect their actions, and reputations for the things that would truly get them into trouble?  And how often does it occur?  Readers here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom have seen parades of foul information regarding public school behavior for over three years.  We have covered sex scandals, bullying cover-ups, corrosive labor practices, financial rackets, and many other destructive activities that are being taught to the next generation of children in the terribly deficient public schools run by government monopolies, and what they all have in common is the inbred deformity of mentality driven by a lack of competition.

Public schools do not worry about breaking the law because they are their own judge, jury, and executioners.  They own the legal process, they are deeply embedded in the political system through the financial contributions of their labor unions, and they know that if they get into trouble locally, that their nationwide network of union thugs will come to their rescue with mass mobs of burning pitchfork radicals demanding all to turn away from the crimes committed.  These parasites use society’s children to hide their crimes with open extortion and are the biggest menace to society in our modern age—and they get away with it because nobody stands up to them.

The law discussed above gets broken because nobody has the guts to hold them to it.  There are of course a few “fringe” people who do, people like me and the friends who contribute openly to these pages, but most just keep their opinions to themselves afraid that the thugs will show up in the middle of the night and vandalize their cars and home.  They fear the same radicals protesting their places of business and making an embarrassment out of their lives as every skeleton in their closet is exposed by the levy radicals attacking ruthlessly all who dare question their practices.  Most people want nothing to do with such radicalism, so they stay silent, and allow the illegal activities that use their children as extortion tokens for peace as they sit in front of the television and watch fictional characters stand for something—while they stand for nothing.

No wonder young people are so angry, and lack so much respect for their parents.

Communist Plank 15–What Che Guevara and John Boehner Have In Common: Seen through the eyes of JFK’s mistress

This is a continuing series done here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom analyzing the 45 Planks of Communism unleashed to the public in the 1958 book The Naked Communist.   You can see the entire list by CLICKING HERE.  You can also read the last article in the series by CLICKING HERE.  The easiest way to understand how communists think is to read Ayn Rand’s We The Living, which takes place in 1924, roughly 7 years after the Russian Revolution and follows several families through their struggle to cope with the rise of the U.S.S.R as a communist political force, which would continue until Russia ran out of money in the 1990’s.  But up until the last day, the communist cause was to infiltrate the entire world philosophically, not literally.  Communists did not intend to win everyone over to their side by forcing the hammer and sickle down their throats in broad daylight.  They had learned the error of their ways in implementing communism too quickly in Petrograd—and intended to carry those lessons with amendments to their world-wide campaign to spread social collectivism to every corner of planet earth.

Communists, particularly in the 1970’s and 1980’s were very arrogant about their beliefs.  They believed in the greater good, so did not care if they came across individually as arrogant, or hurting the feelings  of people since their focus was on collectivism.  In the previous articles explained here it is clear that communists sought to use The United Nations as a platform to carry them through economic collapse—which was evident to them.  They knew it was coming, so they sought to gather up the wealth of those functioning under capitalism until their philosophic enemy had been plucked dry.  Then and only then did they believe communism would work, when it was the ONLY political philosophy left in the world.

Two years ago I would not have believed any of this were possible, but during my research into why public schools were so insanely destructive—economically, the only answer that has come back out of all my research is that they had been penetrated by communism with small doses of socialism until after a couple of generations nobody could not even see the difference—even the employees. We will get into this topic in much greater detail in a future article.  Also over the years I have known many politicians, both local and national.    It was last summer when a local politician was very upset with me for calling his kind RINO’s, (Republican In Name Only) that I realized there was something much more serious going on.  The anger was not just in the name, but in the realization that there was truth to it, and the prospect of the accusation was simply too great for the guy.  He was mad not just at me for seeing it, but for making him question it in himself.  The foundation of everything this politician believed had been shaken to its very core, and he was having a crises.  That crisis was the knowledge that the ideals of Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, Thomas Jefferson and even Ronald Reagan were gone from the Republican Party as far as philosophy.  Too many modern Republicans had found themselves caught in “making deals” to keep the peace against radicals from the other party and they had lost their way–they realized too late the nature of the attack against them.  Communists had infiltrated the Democratic Party in every way that McCarthy feared—and once the public relation machine turned on the McCarthy Hearings and the communists looked to escape scrutiny, they became much more socially bold.  This brings us to Plank 15 on the 45 Planks of Communism shown below.

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

 

Clearly the Democratic Party had been captured by communists prior to 1958, at least informally.  The Democratic platform announced each year at the DNC convention nearly parallels the goals of communism verbatim, and this began during the Red Decade in The United States where many media outlets, universities, and politicians from elite social circles were openly embracing communism as an alternative to capitalism with the same kind of regard that a woman might change shoes from one charity fund raiser to another so to be seen not being so poor to not have other pairs of high heels.  In social circles, especially in the 1960’s is was considered high-brow to admire the work of Che Guevara the Cuban revolutionary and right hand man of Fidel Castro.  It is within the actions of Che—who continues to be a symbol of anti capitalism among American youth–which the extent of the communist push into the American political system can be measured. 

Ernesto “Che” Guevara (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtʃe ɣeˈβaɾa];[7] June 14,[1] 1928 – October 9, 1967), commonly known as el Che or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia within popular culture.[8]

As a young medical student, Guevara traveled throughout South America and was radicalized by the poverty, hunger, and disease he witnessed.[9] His burgeoning desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States prompted his involvement in Guatemala‘s social reforms under President Jacobo Árbenz, whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow at the behest of the United Fruit Company solidified Guevara’s political ideology.[9] Later, while living in Mexico City, he met Raúl and Fidel Castro, joined their 26th of July Movement, and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht, Granma, with the intention of overthrowing US-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.[10] Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to second-in-command, and played a pivotal role in the victorious two-year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime.[11]

Following the Cuban Revolution, Guevara performed a number of key roles in the new government. These included reviewing the appeals and firing squads for those convicted as war criminals during the revolutionary tribunals,[12] instituting agrarian land reformas minister of industries, helping spearhead a successful nationwide literacy campaign, serving as both national bank president and instructional director for Cuba’s armed forces, and traversing the globe as a diplomat on behalf of Cuban socialism. Such positions also allowed him to play a central role in training the militia forces who repelled the Bay of Pigs Invasion[13] and bringing the Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba which precipitated the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.[14] Additionally, he was a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal manual on guerrilla warfare, along with a best-selling memoir about his youthful continental motorcycle journey. His experiences and studying of Marxism–Leninism led him to posit that the Third World‘s underdevelopmentand dependence was an intrinsic result of imperialism, neocolonialism, and monopoly capitalism, with the only remedy beingproletarian internationalism and world revolution.[15][16] Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to foment revolution abroad, first unsuccessfully inCongo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia, where he was captured by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces and summarily executed.[17]

Guevara remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. As a result of his perceived martyrdom, poetic invocations for class struggle, and desire to create the consciousness of a “new man” driven by moral rather than material incentives, he has evolved into a quintessential icon of various leftist-inspired movements. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century,[18] while an Alberto Korda photograph of him entitled Guerrillero Heroico (shown), was cited by the Maryland Institute College of Art as “the most famous photograph in the world”.[19]

Marxist ideological influence

“The merit of Marx is that he suddenly produces a qualitative change in the history of social thought. He interprets history, understands it’s dynamic, predicts the future, but in addition to predicting it (which would satisfy his scientific obligation), he expresses a revolutionary concept: the world must not only be interpreted, it must be transformed. Man ceases to be the slave and tool of his environment and converts himself into the architect of his own destiny.”

— Che Guevara, Notes for the Study of the Ideology of the Cuban, October 1960 [130]

When enacting and advocating Cuban policy, Guevara cited the political philosopher Karl Marx as his ideological inspiration. In defending his political stance, Guevara confidently remarked that “There are truths so evident, so much a part of people’s knowledge, that it is now useless to discuss them. One ought to be Marxist with the same naturalness with which one is “Newtonian” in physics, or “Pasteurian” in biology.”[130]According to Guevara, the “practical revolutionaries” of the Cuban Revolution had the goal of “simply fulfill(ing) laws foreseen by Marx, the scientist.”[130] Using Marx’s predictions and system of dialectical materialism, Guevara professed that “The laws of Marxism are present in the events of the Cuban Revolution, independently of what its leaders profess or fully know of those laws from a theoretical point of view.”[130]

The “New Man”, Bay of Pigs and missile crisis

Main articles: Bay of Pigs Invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis

“Man truly achieves his full human condition when he produces without being compelled by the physical necessity of selling himself as a commodity.”

— Che Guevara, Man and Socialism in Cuba[131]

At this stage, Guevara acquired the additional position of Finance Minister, as well as President of the National Bank. These appointments, combined with his existing position as Minister of Industries, placed Guevara at the zenith of his power, as the “virtual czar” of the Cuban economy.[126] As a consequence of his position at the head of the central bank, it was now Guevara’s duty to sign the Cuban currency, which per custom would bear his signature. Instead of using his full name, he signed the bills solely “Che“.[132] It was through this symbolic act, which horrified many in the Cuban financial sector, that Guevara signaled his distaste for money and the class distinctions it brought about.[132] Guevara’s long time friend Ricardo Rojo later remarked that “the day he signed Che on the bills, (he) literally knocked the props from under the widespread belief that money was sacred.”[133]

In an effort to eliminate social inequalities, Guevara and Cuba’s new leadership had moved to swiftly transform the political and economic base of the country through nationalizing factories, banks, and businesses, while attempting to ensure affordable housing, healthcare, and employment for all Cubans.[135] However, in order for a genuine transformation of consciousness to take root, Guevara believed that such structural changes would have to be accompanied by a conversion in people’s social relations and values. Believing that the attitudes in Cuba towards race, women, individualism, and manual labor were the product of the island’s outdated past, Guevara urged all individuals to view each other as equals and take on the values of what he termed “el Hombre Nuevo” (the New Man).[135] Guevara hoped his “new man” would ultimately be “selfless and cooperative, obedient and hard-working, gender-blind, incorruptible, non-materialistic, and anti-imperialist.”[135] To accomplish this, Guevara emphasized the tenets of Marxism-Leninism, and wanted to use the state to emphasize qualities such as egalitarianism and self-sacrifice, at the same time as “unity, equality, and freedom” became the new maxims.[135]Guevara’s first desired economic goal of the new man, which coincided with his aversion for wealth condensation and economic inequality, was to see a nation-wide elimination of material incentives in favor of moral ones. He negatively viewed capitalism as a “contest among wolves” where “one can only win at the cost of others” and thus desired to see the creation of a “new man and woman”.[136] Guevara continually stressed that a socialist economy in itself is not “worth the effort, sacrifice, and risks of war and destruction” if it ends up encouraging “greed and individual ambition at the expense of collective spirit“.[137] A primary goal of Guevara’s thus became to reform “individual consciousness” and values to produce better workers and citizens.[137] In his view, Cuba’s “new man” would be able to overcome the “egotism” and “selfishness” that he loathed and discerned was uniquely characteristic of individuals in capitalist societies.[137] To promote this concept of a “new man”, the government also created a series of party-dominated institutions and mechanisms on all levels of society, which included organizations such as labor groups, youth leagues, women’s groups, community centers, and houses of culture to promote state-sponsored art, music, and literature. In congruence with this, all educational, mass media, and artistic community based facilities were nationalized and utilized to instill the government’s official socialist ideology.[135] In describing this new method of “development”, Guevara stated:

“There is a great difference between free-enterprise development and revolutionary development. In one of them, wealth is concentrated in the hands of a fortunate few, the friends of the government, the best wheeler-dealers. In the other, wealth is the people’s patrimony.”[138]

A further integral part of fostering a sense of “unity between the individual and the mass”, Guevara believed, was volunteer work and will. To display this, Guevara “led by example”, working “endlessly at his ministry job, in construction, and even cutting sugar cane” on his day off.[139] He was known for working 36 hours at a stretch, calling meetings after midnight, and eating on the run.[137] Such behavior was emblematic of Guevara’s new program of moral incentives, where each worker was now required to meet a quota and produce a certain quantity of goods. As a replacement for the pay increases abolished by Guevara, workers who exceeded their quota now only received a certificate of commendation, while workers who failed to meet their quotas were given a pay cut.[137] Guevara unapologetically defended his personal philosophy towards motivation and work, stating:

“This is not a matter of how many pounds of meat one might be able to eat, or how many times a year someone can go to the beach, or how many ornaments from abroad one might be able to buy with his current salary. What really matters is that the individual feels more complete, with much more internal richness and much more responsibility.”[140]

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

Che went on to become an international sensation—a celebrity that was the greatest advocate of communism in the world during the 1960’s.  As a military mind and revolutionary who hated the capitalism of America, he intended to subvert America strategically in the manner that an aggressor might cease a city, by surrounding it until the pent-up occupants were so hungry that they’d do anything to eat.  Che Guevara surrounded the philosophy of global capitalism with communism until even the staunchest Republican was questioning their own moral ground—and were willing to accept some aspects of communism so not to be out-maneuvered politically by rivals who followed the example of Che Guevara.

Democrats were those rivals to the Republicans and they were firmly behind Che and the communist takeover of Cuba.  Even though it was Kennedy a Democrat who had to deal with Castro during the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was members of his own party that allowed the stalemate to occur in the first place.  To allow the Soviet Union to use a communist territory right off the coast of America to terrorize the mainland with nuclear threat was a strategy that was well in place for many years and was hardly a surprise to anyone on the inside who knew the real intentions of communists.

Communism found its way into both American political parties after the failure of the McCarthy hearings to stop the communist advancement as the public had accepted through their universities the continuous communist push by supportive faculty.  It was common back then to see campus protests in the 1950’s declaring “Better Red then Dead” which was a KGB designed public relations campaign designed to turn the youth of America against capitalism.  It was better to be alive under communism then dead under capitalism which was the message.  Communist revolutionaries that reached rock star status like Che Guevara backed up that implanted fear with action.

Many of the politicians today, including the guy who was so mad at being called a RINO by me had their personal political philosophies shaped during the volatile period just described.  Their opinions about the world were shaped under the threat of KGB marketing machines and the literal antagonism of Che Guevara.  To the exact extent, let us see the situation through the eyes of John F. Kennedy himself during the terrible Cuban Missile crises which was organized strategically by Guevara himself through the firsthand memory of the President’s very young mistress at the time.

In June 1962, Mimi Alford was a 19-year old freshman from Wheaton College who had an internship at the White House. Within four days of meeting her, JFK took her on a tour of the White House, maneuvered her into a bedroom, undressed her, and made love to her “as if it was the most natural thing in the world.”

Alford’s story matters because she spent time with JFK on perhaps the single most important day in his presidency. It came in late October 1962 after the affair had carried on for several months. The U.S. had discovered that the Soviet Union secretly installed nuclear missiles in Cuba to defend the revolutionary government of Fidel Castro. Most of JFK’s national security advisors — and all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff  — recommended JFK order the invasion of the island to destroy the missiles and overthrow the impudent Castro. JFK, a war hero, resisted. He accepted the lesser measure of a Naval blockade of the island while searching for a diplomatic solution.

Alford, back at school in Massachusetts, evoked the dread of those days when the world stood on the brink of nuclear war, an “atmosphere of deep concern in some quarters and outright hysteria in others. We were warned about a national shortage of bomb shelters. We were besieged with apocalyptic estimates of how many people would die in a nuclear exchange.” No doubt seeking diversion from the burdens of office, JFK invited her to Washington. (He’d sent Jackie Kennedy and his children out-of-town.)

When Alford arrived at the White House on Oct. 28, 1962, Dave Powers, JFK’s personal aide, told her that the president had just sent a message to Moscow asking, for the last time, that the missiles be removed. Many thought war would start within 48 hours.

“Normally, he would have put his presidential duties behind him, had a drink and done his best to lighten up the room,” Alford recalled. Instead, JFK paced, contemplating whether he would soon have to make a decision to send thousands, if not millions, of people to a violent death.  At one point, after leaving the room to take another urgent phone call, he came back shaking his head and said to Alford, “I’d rather my children be red than dead.” It wasn’t a political statement or an attempt at levity. These were the words of a father who adored his children and couldn’t bear them being hurt.  Thus, this is how both political parties in America accepted communism.

http://www.salon.com/2012/02/20/jfk_better_red_than_dead/

The truth is hard to admit.  Most people I know in politics support open socialism and they mistakenly call it capitalism.  Their minds are distorted with deal making and political slander—lost to any resemblance of morality because they have been taught incorrect ideals about virtually everything in their life.  Those ideals were shaped by the communists of the late 1950’s and 60’s under great duress and fear—under literal terrorism where global communists attacked the philosophy of capitalism with great hate, the way radical Muslims attack Christianity with ruthlessly determined swagger and a sense that their individual lives do not matter so long as the collective whole lives on.

About 30 minutes before Che Guevara was executed in 1967 at the tender young age of 39, Félix Rodríguez privately told a captured Guevara that he was going to be executed. Guevara then responded by asking Rodríguez if he was an American of Mexican or Puerto Rican origin, having noted that Rodríguez did not speak Bolivian Spanish. Rodríguez replied that he was originally from Cuba but that he had emigrated to the US and was currently a member of the CIA. Guevara’s only reply was a loud “ha!” and he refused to speak any more to Rodríguez, who left the hut.

A little later, a few minutes before Guevera was executed, he was asked by one of the Bolivian soldiers guarding him if he was thinking about his own immortality. “No,” he replied, “I’m thinking about the immortality of the revolution.”[206] A few minutes later, Sergeant Terán entered the hut and immediately ordered the other soldiers out. Alone with Terán, Che Guevara then stood up and spoke to his executioner which were his last words: “I know you’ve come to kill me. Shoot. Do it. Shoot me, you coward! You are only going to kill a man!”[207] As Guevara was speaking, Terán hesitated, then opened fire with his M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, hitting him in the arms and legs. For a few seconds, Guevara writhed on the ground, apparently biting one of his wrists to avoid crying out. Terán then fired several times again, wounding him fatally in the chest. Che Guevara was pronounced dead at 1:10 pm local time according to Rodríguez.[207] In all, Guevara was shot nine times by Terán. That is how selfless, and fanatical communists have always been.  They will hide their beliefs until it serves their strategic objective, then they will stop at nothing to execute their goal—even if it means their death.

American politics was captured during this period of revolution and it continues to be shaped to this day by communism, falsely believed to have been defeated during the Cold War.  The current government shut-down is a long culmination of these events where years and years of abuse have finally collapsed on itself economically.  The nature of these politicians is now clear.  They are only functionaries under a system that is riddled with socialism by a communist push that has lasted for nearly 100 years in America, but climaxed right after the release of The Naked Communist.  The situation is so bad that the so-called bastion of the Republican Party, the current Speaker of the House and my direct congressman, John Boehner was caught trying to cut a deal with the Democrats Harry Reid and Barack Obama to exclude at least the political class from the socialism of Obamacare.  READ MORE AT THE LINK BELOW FOR DETAILS.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/10/02/glenn-beck-irate-over-leaked-boehner-office-emails-defund-the-gop/

I sent that article to some of the people who fund  Boehner’s campaign in my area leaving them in a difficult position.  What they will do with that information is the result of years of communism—if they deny Boehner campaign funds they risk having a communist oriented Democrat representing them in congress.  If they try to crack down on Boehner without the collective support of other fundraisers, they may find themselves and their business scrutinized by the federal government unfavorably—so it is risky to do anything.  Of course Boehner knows all this.  His dilemma in trying to strike a deal with Reid was similar to the one that JFK was faced with while having sex with his 19-year-old mistress, it’s better red than dead.  Rather than fight Obamacare outright at first, until the Tea Party members of the Republican Party voiced their protests, Boehner wanted to at least work out an exemption for himself, his family and his members—as Speaker of the House.  He hoped to work out a concession.  John Boehner’s focus was not on the deceitful ways that Obamacare was passed, on the disguise of it as a tax to shove it through the Democratically controlled House and Senate, the Supreme Court Ruling allowing it to stand as a “tax” on the American public when it was really sold as another entitlement—on the origin of the deal to make all Americans customers to the insurance industry whether they wanted to or not compelling them under force to buy something—Boehner could only think about himself just like the terrible day in 1962 just before his assassination  in Texas where Kennedy confided to his lover—its better red than dead.

Obamacare is a communist dream and its start can be traced back to the intention of communists in 1958 to infiltrate both political parties in America.  There can be no question that they were successful based on the actions of the current House Speaker John Boehner who is a functioning communist believing with all his heart and soul that he’s a fiscal conservative.  When faced with the realization that it is better red then dead, even the hardest core conservative will choose to go red, so to protect their own lives from the threat of communism which they fear so intensely, they no longer even call it by its proper name.
