The Obama Tax Increase of 2013: Let them fall off the cliff

You just can’t discuss intellectually anything with people like this:  CLICK HERE.

The rich have left me at the altar many times so I will not blindly defend them at a sacrifice to myself. I support laissez-faire capitalism which would make more people rich and generate more revenue in America. But I do not speak against President Obama’s “tax the rich” policy to protect the rich against government looters like Obama, but to protect America from socialism which is what such taxing policies are. In fact it is the exact policy of the current president of France who is a member of the Socialist Party. Tax and spend is what they do, and I oppose them because their philosophy is corrosive to productivity. So with that in mind, in reaction to President Obama’s comments to my local congressman, Speaker Boehner about his intentions to raise taxes on the rich, I publicly say let Obama raise taxes, and let him take the responsibility for the result. Let him have his tax increase on the rich so that he will learn the hard lesson that the money raised will only be a drop in the bucket for an ocean of economic problems that are destined to happen because of the Democratic Party’s commitment to global socialism. To fight Obama and his naive understanding of economics is to make yourselves the villains and allow him to snake his way around to continue undermining the Republican Party through the blame game. Obama ran his whole campaign on this “tax the rich” idea, so the American people need to learn the hard lesson of his ignorance. Sometimes the best way to teach a child that the oven is “hot” is to let them get burnt.

The “rich” will shelter their money in other ways so they will not be impacted so badly. The House of Representatives gains nothing by taking a hard-line in the sand on the issue. The snakes will only end up biting Boehner and the other Republicans in the end. Logic does not work with 51% of the American public because they elected a fool for president, so let them have their loot and live to beat them over the head with it when they fail, which they will without question.

To pay taxes is to assume that the product the government produces is good. I personally do not endorse the product the government makes. Their employees are paid too much, there are too many of them, and they are grossly ineffective, and I reject the product. So I will personally avoid through legal means every tax increase thrown in my direction—because I do not like the product. But it is time for the socialists to be called such—and not hide behind the mask of Democrats, or Progressives, and it is time for them to have egg on that face that is revealed for what they are. To fight a fool only feeds their plight as more fools through collectivism will follow like rats the fool in front of them, and its time to let them run themselves off the cliff and onto the jagged rocks below.

Then live to say——–“I told you so.”

Rule By Secrecy: Jim Marrs makes more sense than Fox News

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

–Woodrow Wilson

Within hours of Obama’s re-election, long time media allies to the Tea Party were distancing themselves as they recognized that associating with a group who referred to the modern progressives as socialists was dangerous for their careers. It is dangerous to their careers because the bosses in the progressive party were putting down the clamps with memos and emails now that they had won four more years in The White House, and it was their intention to move the goal posts of America even more to the left than it was already, and those who stood in the way would find themselves out of a job quickly.

In the wake of the election there was a tinge that something wasn’t quite right. It wasn’t just because my guy had lost, but due to all the things that weren’t covered during the election that were very obvious–Benghazi, Obama’s past and presidential record, his radical association of friends—and many more issues were given a free pass. And quickly on election night the stars all lined up for Obama—one of the biggest jokes of a president in my lifetime. As I watched the smoke clear on the day after—I didn’t see any resemblance of my representative Republic known as America. Instead I saw a mob ruled democracy of fools claiming that they had won a great victory when in fact they had won only half the country + 1 welfare recipient desiring a Obama phone. They considered this a mandate to proclaim an overwhelming victory, and their behavior almost came as though it were scripted—even expected.

None of this made any sense to me until I thought of a book I read by Jim Marrs over a decade ago called Rule By Secrecy. Reflecting on that book, suddenly much of the election of 2012 seemed to become clearer. Shamefully it was the vast conspiracy theories of Marrs in that book that illustrated clearly my observations in the wake of that treacherous day in American history. It would seem that Jim Marrs, who can be seen below in the lecture series that he gave years ago was much more right than wrong. I highly recommend watching what Jim Marrs has to say in this very revealing lecture to put into perspective the events of modern politics.

There are no other directions to turn when it is learned that the election process can be manipulated by thieves who can overload the electorate with emotional voters who simply want the government to play Santa Clause in their lives. The plan utilized by so many members from the media all through the political halls of power is so predictable and self-serving that the system is not working the way it was intended, leaving people who do not agree with the politics of progressivism nowhere to turn. The politicians in office do not represent my values. Obama is not my kind of president. Congress is too manipulative—and soft, and the Senate seems like they come from a different planet. Yet listening to them speak on the day after, so many people believe that the progressive party’s narrow victories was a mandate to impose their will on the rest of us, and I can report that such a thing will not happen. Instead, I look to the work of Jim Marrs to understand why I don’t have a representative republic—because his view seems to be the only one that makes sense—even if it falls outside the realm of social acceptability.

As for me and many of the people I call friends, my America is the one that is old-fashioned. I like strong families, I hate drugs, I don’t like to drink or get drunk. I like to read books, I like to learn—I like to take care of my children and be close to them. I like to shoot guns and keep my life to myself. In other words, I like most the America of yesterday, and I want it for my children tomorrow. I do not want what the thugs, goons and imposing creeps of modern progressivism wish to give me and my family. It doesn’t matter if it comes from the Tri-Lateral Commission or just a socialist in the White House, they do not have a right to my life, and they will be denied when they come to my door. When they do my black flag will greet them, because I no longer believe in the political system. I’ve seen enough.

The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy: Why Barack Obama won a second term

To win the fight that we are all currently in, the proper targets must be properly identified, and dealt with.  In this case, the evidence points to an aspect of conspiracy that I didn’t want to believe.  But there is no other conclusion as to what happened in the election of 2012.  The foreign investment in America has spoken against the wishes of United States sovereignty.  In the case of Romney versus Obama, Romney was most prone to strengthening the American currency, which goes against the plan of global planners, who were very much invested in the American election.

So to learn who these people are and how they are all connected; watch this video by Jim Marrs speaking about this topic in Australia.  I personally like Jim, so much so that he is currently reading my book Tail of the Dragon for a cover blurb satisfying a portion of my 2013 marketing plan.  I’ve read many of his books and in several cases did not want to believe what he was reporting, as he has a reputation as a conspiracy theorists.  His newest book is a New York Times Bestseller called The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy.  He’s a great journalist, public speaker, and a damn good researcher and the burden to disprove his theories falls on his critics.  It is evident to me that much of what he says in the video below is the cause of the election that went against American value, and more toward the collapse of American currency purely for the profit of the puppet masters who have their hands in most of our lives.

To be free as we desire in America, we will have to cut our strings to these influences, which reside behind the façade of President of The United States, and must admit to ourselves that the system is broken beyond repair, and must be replaced with a return to Constitutional principles.  There is no compromise with people, who are willing to kill to see their intended results, and those are the kinds of people we are dealing with at the highest level, and they must be the new focus of any liberty movement that is to survive.

A New Project: ‘The Trial of Fletcher Finnegan’

I have presented here on this site virtually anything anybody could want to know about just about anything. I have over 900 articles most of them 2000 words or more and those won’t be going away, but I am going to give myself a break from my daily articles so that I can work on a new strategy that must be implemented in reaction to the news of November 6, 2012. I have thought hard about the situation and as I do think some of the factual articles here are helpful to intelligent people. But the message is not getting through to everyone else.

To see these articles on whatever topics are desired, just Google—Overmanwarrior—(then your topic) and you will find information from this site to match your question.

However, I am more convinced than ever that my roots with mythology hold the key to unlocking the perplexities that confound so many people, and I need to put my 2000 words a day into those projects. Writing 900 more articles about the same things I have for the last three years won’t accomplish anything as I am at a diminishing marginal return on that effort. Instead, that effort needs to apply to a more robust stage where more people can be exposed to it. No matter how good the quality, or content of these articles are, the social title of a “blogger” does not do the trick and get the information to the places it needs to go. So I will be spending my time on that effort for a while.

I will still post articles here, but not in the quantity that I have been. The strategy that we have all been working to needs to be adjusted and that will be my new focus.

For a sneak peek at what I have in mind, see my article on The Trail of Fletcher Finnegan.

It is along these lines, but with bullwhips, and American ideas.

In the meantime, as I work on this new project, I have decided that there is no longer a peaceful resolution to these times, since the election system no longer works, as it has been purposely overloaded with lethargic foreign interest with open boarders and the diabolical moral bankruptcy of our American youth along with the bloc voting groups organized carefully by these same mass public looters. I have offered the arguments with peace and they are here for all to use. For now on, if government attempts to take more away from me, I will take two times more back from them to cover my costs. And if they come looking for a fight, they will get more than they can handle.

To my friends, should they deem a use for my services in defense of themselves from the violence of government………..give me a call. These are the thoughts of the days following the travesty of the Election of 2012.  Glenn Beck is a lot nicer than I am, so he is worth listening to.  I like his approach.  But it’s not the one I will be taking.  I will resort to what I know best.

Obama is Not My President: Congress should impeach for Executive crimes against the Red States

Now that we know Obama will be the President I would expect that Congress will move for proceedings to fully investigate the Benghazi situation and Fast and Furious. If criminal misconduct is discovered, then impeachment proceedings need to be implemented. It is time to stop playing patty cake with the Executive Branch, especially now that it is known Obama will be in office for four more years. That is plenty of time to prosecute him in for the crimes Obama has committed against the vast multitude of the Red States which make up the heart of America.

Let me explain what happened on November 6th, 2012 to all my Republican friends. You are not respected by the media or progressives because you do not go for the jugular when you get the opportunity. The progressives are radical and do not function from a morality that conservatives understand. Obama has wreaked the American economy, been in the middle of multiple scandals and shown that he is a completely incompetent manager. Yet he was voted to re-election in spite of many, many hours of talk radio, television news picking apart his presidency, and countless books and movies being made about his detriment to American life. This happened because Republicans play nice—they play fair, and they assume the game both sides are playing is an honorable one

We are not all playing the same game by the same rules, and when there is a chance to destroy your enemy, you do it. And it is the job of Congress to protect the people from the crimes of progressive politicians.

I can say that Obama is not my president. He is the president of the socialists who live on the East Coast, in high density population centers, and on the West Coast where a constant barrage of immigration coming from socialist countries abroad see American socialism as freedom relative to where they came from. But in the heart of the country, Obama does not represent my values, or the values of my neighbors. So it is time to stop playing nice and go after these parasites to American livelihood before their progressive politics destroy all of our lives which clearly appears to be the intent.

We are 16 trillion dollars in debt and we just re-elected the fool who created that dangerous situation. Where is the justice? Where is the courage? Where is the honor in a system of government who can lie to the American people over multiple issues, and win the privilege to hide those crimes behind executive orders?

We are not one nation, and the enemy is allowed to advance because conservatives do not have the courage, or temper to put them in their place as the encroachments progress. In this last election, it was the aggressive Chris Christie who put his arm around Obama over Hurricane Sandy and it improved Obama’s image just enough to make Obama appear just good enough to look presidential and helpful. That is what happens when conservatives compromise, when they put their arm around a snake and hope that their kindness will keep them from getting bit. Romney didn’t push Benghazi in the debates, letting Obama off the hook and Chris Christie pandered to the President to get the relief money for his state. That is where the election was lost. Both conservative men believe they were being “fair” to Obama by not rubbing salt in a wounded president. Meanwhile Obama was calling for “REVENGE” on the campaign trail when Romney called for “Love.” Do you see now which one wins? Evil presides when good men do nothing, or when good men try to appease evil with kindness.

Obama’s Administration is responsible for many bad things, and it is the job of congress to go after them aggressively instead of letting them play kindness as a weapon to create stalemates which progressives will then take advantage of anyway with blame for economic stagnation such as the upcoming tax increase debates and the debt ceiling. They will play every dirty trick to make conservatives look bad, because they do not worry about the same treatment coming back in their direction. And this election is the statement that their method works over the strategy of conservatives. Now, because of the lack of aggression, America will be forced to submit to Obama Care, and countless other encroachments that the Red States will have to suffer from because conservatives did not have the aggression, or the courage to take away the heart of the progressives when they had a chance. Instead, they let them get up off the mat to become dangerous once again.

So listen to what I’m saying……………….John Boehner, that means you. If you do not act now, and I mean right now while there is still a Republican majority in the House, our nation will be lost forever, and progressive socialism will destroy our country. If you play nice, if you compromise with them, if you play golf with them, if you seek their approval in any way possible, you will lose in the end because they will not stop till all barriers to their destructive desires are fulfilled, and now that Obama has the White House for four more years, Congress is the only protection left to the American people who live in the Red States—in the core of the country, from the European socialists who live on the coast.

We are not one nation any longer and Obama is not my president. He is a thief, a provocateur, and a con man—and I want nothing to do with him or his thuggish strategies. I trusted the voting system and the American people to remove such a threat through a free and open election, and the system failed. That does not mean we all go peacefully into the night and shrug our shoulders and declare that we’ll all do better next time. The time to act is now, and that action must be swift, and decisive, and done with the knowledge that half the nation will be angry about it. But so what……….because the Red States are not happy to have Obama Care rammed down their throats, and four more years of a looting president who is ruining our country with debt and mismanagement. Concession will not bring peace, or popularity. Instead, it will ensure that we obtain neither.

Remember, remember, the actions in Benghazi, and bring justice where it belongs before that too is swept under the rug by soulless progressives and the schemes of destruction.

A Puppet Makes The Case for Progressives: The same old evasion by those without a clue

To the small-minded progressive types, the Koch Brothers are the ultimate evil in that they–along with Rupert Murdoch support conservative causes, which are at odds with leftist diabolical schemes.  Progressives often do not connect the influence of billionaires like George Soros with the funding of their causes, because they don’t understand how the dots connect.  This leaves them victims in the schemes of billionaire battles between people like the Koch Brothers and George Soros who disagree with how to move planet Earth into the future.  Soros wishes socialism, the Koch Brothers wish for capitalism.  The people of the world have to decide where they fall on that battlefield of ideas but it is apocalyptically foolish to assume as the puppeteer in the below video does that it is the evil Koch Brothers who want to end the world as we all know it.

The world for progressives should end, because I believe as the Koch Brothers believe that capitalism should be the ruling economic force in America in the purist form possible.  That means an end to the progressive platform, so the puppet chick has good reason to fear that the changes she wishes to see happen will be reversed, because I don’t want to stand shoulder to shoulder with people like her.  I don’t want to hold hands with her.  I don’t even want to breathe the same air as she does.  I don’t want to hear her ideas.  I don’t want anything to do with her view at looking at the world and if that makes me a big mean guy, then so be it.  I’ve been called worse.

But you know what; I have my opinion completely free of the Koch Brothers or any money given from the Republican Party.  In fact, I’ve never taken money from any conservative groups like the Koch Brothers or otherwise, yet I have my own conservative opinions that I advocate completely on my own.  This runs counter to how progressives think—most of whom can be bought for cheap prices and used ideologically to advocate that the sky is pink, and the leaves on the trees are blue just because some progressive leader said so.  Naturally, these idiots believe that everyone in the world is just as easily mislead as they are, and their platform is built to protect themselves from their own stupidity—and they fully expect the rest of the world to come down to their level.  That’s why to them anybody who has a mind and can think for themselves are greedy, mean people.

I have presented over the last couple of years multiple scenarios to show how destructive and parasitic progressives are.  I have shown with great detail how the power vacancy they leave in their wake can usher in radical forms of socialism and radical Islamic elements fully intent to take America over with their corrupt ideologies, and are a million times more dangerous to our lives than the money the Koch Brothers give to political candidates.  In the video below is just one small example of how Muslim extremists intent on a world-wide caliphate have sought to destroy America from within.  This is certainly not science fiction, but fact.  Listen carefully.

Yet Muslims are not the only ones looking to overthrow America, communists are still at their radical behavior hiding their global intentions behind progressive politics, and they are probably more active in our public affairs than the Muslims have been.  They are just better at hiding their radicalism since the back lash they faced in the late sixties.  Fools like the puppet girl above who are angry at the conservative movement financed by people like the Koch Brothers have paved the way for letting the aggressive factions of radicalism all over the world set their sights on America as a playground for possible destruction.  History now has facts, and progressives are dangerous to America because they are too stupid to defend themselves intellectually, and physically, and are attracted to ultra aggressive political movements to hide behind.  So self-made men and women are scary to them, so scary that progressives shutter in their shoes at the mere thought that someone like me, or the Koch Brothers, or Governor Kasich will tell them to pull their own weight and shut the hell up.  Instead they lobby for more collectivism, which invites outside infiltration into our country to wipe from the face of the Earth the only free country that there ever was, or ever will be.

I am currently reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstroy.  I bought it because I wanted to read about the society of Russia before it was destroyed by communism in 1917.  Like an archaeologist I want to see what Russia was like in the middle 1800’s from a book that was published right after the Civil War here in America.  I am curious to how such an opulent society could have been ravaged blank in just a few short years, because it is obvious that there are global factions that want to do the same thing to America, and we are currently not very far from it.  If not for the money that the Koch Brothers and others have spent to preserve conservativism in America, it may well have been swept away ushering in the destruction of everything we know and cherish.  Ayn Rand’s book We The Living made me interested in War and Peace because I want to stop such movements from happening in America.

The puppet girl above is a wonderful metaphor for progressive politics.  She like her puppet are simply caricatures for people like George Soros and other wealthy philanthropists who have lost touch with reality, and feel guilty that they made so much money off the capitalist system.  They turn to socialism not because it is the wisest political philosophy, but the one that will preserve their own legacies by cutting the legs out from their potential competition.  Unlike Soros, billionaires like the Koch Brothers aren’t cowards afraid that if they preserve capitalism that future wealthy people might challenge their supremacy.  Unknown to many progressive fools it is such an elementary notion that drive these political movements to the antics of sock puppets to make their final argument.  And in such notions reside the intelligence of their entire position.

Defeat School Levies with Good “Branding”: How to use the media against itself for your aims

The endorsement by The Cincinnati Enquirer of ultra liberal progressive goof-ball Senator Sherrod Brown says a lot about why The Enquirer has been losing readership by wheel barrel loads over the last couple of years.  They have an interesting problem; they are a leftist media group trying to produce a product to a very conservative city.  I mean they know their market, and they have decided to consciously go against their readership, and now they have really hurt themselves by coming out publicly for politicians like Brown.   Over the last year The Enquirer has made a conscious decision to prop up progressive causes even more, where in the past they at least attempted to mask their intentions.  As time has gone on, The Enquirer has struggled to maintain their readership because they have offered a product that leans more and more to the left in the ultra conservative city of Cincinnati.

In the chess game of politics, it is important to know the rules, and as Election Day nears, or future election days come about, it is imperative to use the entire chess board to defeat your potential school levies or whatever issue you might be fighting.  I know some reading this might be tempted not to talk to Michael Clark at The Enquirer or some other reporter because they represent a product that is of the opposite political affiliation, or because you have seen the ordeal I have had with them, and the belief is that if Clark and others are shut out of the Anti-Levy movement then he will suffer and maybe even lose his job out of revenge for what he did to me.  But let me report dear reader that the fate of The Enquirer cannot be changed, they have done it to themselves, and Michael Clark cannot be saved either.  He is on a sinking ship, and he knows it.  But while the ship still floats if the reporters of The Enquirer come calling for interviews over the respective issues around the city, then don’t hesitate to give them interviews and feed them the information you want to get out.  Use them to your advantage, because they will certainly use you to theirs.

I suppose this situation comes with a back-story that should be explained at this time.   By now, everyone knows that I had a famous melt-down with The Cincinnati Enquirer that was rather epic, and I have said that it was by design, and in many ways I was playing the chess game that anybody who hopes to win such games must play to achieve any victory.  And if you are on the front of a movement, then you have to understand what kind of game we are all playing, so you cannot be mistaken into thinking that Michael Clark of The liberal Enquirer is your friend.  He’s not, and he never will be.  Such people must be handled as though they are two-headed snakes and just because one head is in your hand, you must still guard against the other.

I allowed Michael Clark to make me the “brand” of the No Lakota Levy on purpose, because it served my needs.  Every time a product is driven, there must be a “brand,” that people associate with the product.  In this case the product is “saying no to tax increases.”  My rival over this matter has a brand of their own, so it must be countered.  Their “brand” is “children.”  That is why most of their promotional material feature children receiving the benefit of their services in some way, because that is how they establish product recognition.  So to fight the school levy, I needed a brand of my own, because to win such things and get the message out, you need more than charts, arguments, and yard signs—you must have a brand. People often wonder why I allowed myself to be photographed by The Enquirer with my whips and hat to fight the Lakota Levy—it was because I had to establish a brand for the No Lakota Levy in order for things to take off the way I wanted them to.

This of course carried over into other media markets because it is personal branding that gives them the hook for their stories.  Without the branding, there isn’t a way to market the idea to the public; the reporters don’t know how to frame the argument.   So banding is very important because it provides the backdrop of the story when a reporter writes.   In the case of the levy fighting efforts at Lakota, I took an aspect of myself that was unique and used that for the branding of the levy fight.  This worked well until The Enquirer hit the year of 2012 and had to restructure their paper and move around some full-time reporting positions.  I knew there was trouble when Michael Clark at the beginning of February 2012 wanted to treat me to lunch to discuss the future of the things, especially the Lakota Levy problems.  Clark has family that is involved in public education, and he makes his living reporting on public education, and in his stories I was his villain, and the villain kept winning—giving him a problem.  So he wanted to discuss it over lunch.

That is when I knew I had to change the brand because the education professionals and media people where struggling to prop up public education as a heroic endeavor, because I had successfully and rightly—branded them as the villains, turning the tables on their original strategy.  I simply used the radical labor position arguments against them, for which they could not defend, because they were up to no good.  So the trick with branding is it works great as long as you adapt it to the changing circumstances.   In my case my friends in the No Lakota Levy movement were getting tired of the levy fights.  Lakota was setting up for another run, a fourth attempt in three years, and we were all getting fairly pissed off because the management didn’t listen to what we told them.  They were told to their faces, in The Enquirer, on 700 WLW, on TV, through the brand we had created in No Lakota Levy using my face that we expected management to present to the teachers union a 5% reduction in pay and benefits, which they refused to do.  So strategically, this forced a change in the branding from my position, and a change in alliances.

My friends had wanted to merge with an established community group that would help pay the sports fees for some of the neediest students, which was a good idea, but it danced around the whole problem of why the sports fees were cut to begin with.  I went along with it knowing that the proposal would cut into the Lakota School System’s branding in a dangerous way, and may actually destroy their public relations efforts up to that point.  This effort was needed because the management at Lakota refused to present the 5% reduction to the labor union so more drastic measures were needed in the levy fight.  I arranged with Michael Clark to have a story done about our new announcement of giving $10,000 to some of the students so it would help cover their sports fees at the school which were cut as an extortion tool in favor of the labor union.  Once word got out what we were doing, the community group bailed on our effort to join with them and some of the most radical levy supporters gathered outside of a Kroger store to smear my name, just as the members of the community group had been doing—because our strategy cut into their branding, and it really made them mad.

So I knew a fight was coming either now or in the near future and one of the first rules of any combat is to strike first and fight from the high ground.   Beat them to the punch.  Be the first to strike, and most of the time, you will be the victor.  This is true even if it’s a fight in a parking lot one on one, or with an entire labor union that has a state organization at its back.  The rules are the same.  So I volunteered to become the country coordinator for making Ohio a Right-to-Work state, collecting signatures for that ballot initiative, even though many of my friends advised me against it since Kasich wanted no part in such a thing in a year when Ohio had to vote Obama out of The White House.  I did it anyway because it was the right thing to do in Ohio, even though it might further tick off the labor unions—which is what I wanted to do anyway as part of the branding strategy.  We also as a group at No Lakota Levy started our own community group and upon the announcement of our endeavor I called a press conference that entailed the presentation of a $10,000 check to members of the Lakota athletic department.

For a review of this situation here is the original story: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120306/NEWS0102/303050153/Tax-foes-offer-fund-Lakota-athletes

When The Enquirer was present along with members of Channel 19 and Channel 5 Lakota had no representative to receive the check because they couldn’t.  They knew that in so doing, they would destroy their own branding model of using the children of the school as an extortion tool.  We were effectively taking that tool away.

The story appeared all over the city of Cincinnati.  It fit into the progressive position of The Enquirer, the altruistic pursuit of community sacrifice, so they predictably ran with it.  Clark made it an exclusive story, so it had great curb appeal, which served his needs as a reporter.  The danger for everyone involved was that I had changed the branding from a lone cowboy running around Lakota opposing school levies with a bullwhip to a person with an organization at his back that could conger up $10,000 dollars to pay for sports fees.  This level of branding was something the school could not deal with, so they worked with The Enquirer for their own assassination story against me to break up the merger that I had formed with the people who provided the money.   I had given them on purpose the tools I desired to defend against, since I already had a plan two defend one or both of the issues, one was a blog posting I did about the PTA moms–community personalities who played politics with the situation smearing my name, and the other was my participation in the Right-to-Work effort for Ohio.   Of course they took the bait and ran with it as Clark went over the top with the whole ordeal because his short-term gain would solidify his position at The Enquirer during a time when they were doing major restructuring as a company.

It was painful but worth it.  After three levy attempts I knew that I couldn’t personally continue to be the face of the No Lakota Levy effort.  My branding had worn out, and a new approach would be needed for the fourth, fifth, and sixth efforts, one that had more horsepower behind it, and the best way to kick-start such an effort was to get everybody off their ass with a provocation.  As the months went on after that event over 100,000 people visited my Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom site to read my articles on education reform, sex scandals at Lakota, bullying cover-ups, and the raw numbers of how the management was in bed with the labor union in a grotesque way, and how they were using our children as the tool for performing the task.  My hope was that if I couldn’t be the face of the anti-levy effort anymore, because the branding needed to be changed—and updated, then I could do something extraordinary to teach other people to participate in the fight instead of it just being about me personally.     The Enquirer article that Clark had written about me as a favor to Julie Shaffer–one of the school board members at Lakota was so astonishing that it gave me more readers than all my radio interviews on WLW combined over a two-year period.  And most of those people sent kind words of encouragement, admiring that I had stated publicly what many of them had already thought.   It was great advertising and really helped take my branding to a public that was quietly angry and looking for a battle cry to get their hearts racing.  That battle cry will always be from now on, “Latte sipping prostitutes with asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match,” and I will use it till the next necessity for re branding becomes necessary   So the new branding had worked, and it looks as though going into the future that more people are going to be willing to put their name out there and fight these levies, which makes me very, very happy.

So when the news comes calling around election time, don’t refuse them just because you might be angry for what they did, or tried to do to me dear reader.  In a game of strategy, nothing happens by chance, and by my own measurement, I knew that my check-mates would cause a stir, which was needed.  But there was a purpose behind the madness and I wanted to tell this little story so that people could learn how to fight these types of people using their own tools against them.  I watched what was done to Arnie Engle over in Fairfield over the years and I have wanted to help him desperately.  He was doing a lot of this levy fighting well before I did, and he has been painted as a radical child hater by all members of the media guided by the union apologists for years now.  He has run for school board and fought many campaigns as radicals have attacked his home and threatened him in many ways for nearly a decade, and it became clear to me that if I allowed the media to process me the way that they had Arnie, then I would eventually fall behind in the fight.

During all this activity in early February I sat down with Arnie and listened to his stories.  We had a couple of beers together as he explained the cameras that canvas his property collecting data from the vandals who have attacked his home continuously.  A short time ago Arnie found himself baited by one of the school levy radicals which led to a conflict in front of Arnie’s house.  You can read about that occurrence here:

http://www.middletownjournal.com/news/news/crime-law/fairfield-candidate-charged-with-criminal-mischief/nNR2q/

Arnie is a passionate guy, and he’s right.  The trouble that I concluded about him is that most of Fairfield agreed with him about the taxes, and the position the management took in defense of the labor unions, but Arnie held onto his brand too long without changing it.  He tried to do all the work himself–he even tried to become a school board member to help the situation from within and he was attacked, attacked and attacked again each more ruthlessly, for standing in the way of what the union wanted.  The situation was so bad that in August of 2011 there was a FBI investigation over the school board itself that was quickly forgotten by the time the election came around in November, partly because of the article above.

The Enquirer from 2005 to 2010 used Arnie much in the way they used me.  And Arnie used them much the same way that I used them to get the word out.  It’s part of the business of branding, and selling ideas through the media.  But at a certain point, the brand becomes too big for the issue and even distracting—to the point that it can implode on itself by the sheer weight, and the cycle time appears to be about 3 years at the level that Arnie and I had endured before diminishing marginal returns become self-evident.  As I drank beer with Arnie and watched his monitors scanning his yard for attackers I thought of Clark, The Enquirer, Lakota, WLW, the State of Ohio, John Kasich and his Right-to-Work opposition, my own friends who didn’t want to touch the issue so that Obama wouldn’t win Ohio on the back of the union vote, and I thought of my No Lakota Levy friends who wanted to work with a community charity group to repair their own public images after three contentious levy fights where the school board refused to listen to the will of the voters.  Yes, war has many casualties, and if you are the brand, it will be especially hard on you dear reader.  That is when it is best to strike first, and hit on your terms, and hit them so hard that they can’t get back up again.  Punch them so hard that their teeth come out of the back of their head……….metaphorically speaking of course.  And while doing it, have a plan to re-brand your product every couple of years or so–so that your material is always fresh.

The media is not your friend.  They will use you, and they will turn on you.  They will work behind your back to destroy you if they find that you are at cross purposes to their intentions, which is often just survival in a marketplace that is highly competitive.  In the case of The Cincinnati Enquirer, they are their own worst enemy since they chose to support candidates like Sherrod Brown and other progressive political positions in spite of Cincinnati’s deeply conservative nature.  But you can also use their ignorance to your benefit, and should do so whenever possible.  So when they put out the call for a few comments about the school levy defeats that will happen on Tuesday, or the future levies that are scheduled to be put on in March, May, August, and November of 2013, feed them a line and make sure it’s always to your advantage.  And always be looking for ways to re-brand your product.  If that product is you personally, then have a plan to pull more people into the fray one way or the other.  But remember, if you hang on too long with only your branding, the media will seek to make you the story, which will destroy your branding before you desire it to.   So make sure to always stay in front of what they are going to do next.

In spite of all these perilous conditions, the good of our communities, our state and our nation are at hand, and if we don’t play this game, then we yield to the forces of manipulation shown above.  There are only two choices, you play the game, or you get played.  So if it is thought that one can sit on the sidelines and just vote YES or NO on an issue, it’s not enough.  You have to play the game, or the game will play you.  And the best way to play that game is to figure out what your personal branding is, develop it fully, use it to gain traction in the media, but also use the media to expand your base so that you can change your branding latter to alter your strategy.  Failure to do so will cause a collapse of your branding effectiveness.  And timing is everything.  But do not make the mistake in thinking that you can protest The Enquirer for being too left of center by not speaking with them.  They are what they are, and the market will determine their fate.  But while they still exist use them all you can to the aims that you determine following a strategy you created through your branding and implantation.   And be sure to be the first to punch them—so that the chances of winning improve dramatically.  Playing nice is the same as yielding your strategy to the fate of goodness, which is the method of a fool.  Because no organization that builds itself on the back of children and hides many evils behind them is good, and will do anything to win.  So they must be treated accordingly—with great aggression, and well thought out strategy with layers and layers of deceptive subplot.

And when in doubt, listen to my favorite song shown below at the top setting of your iPod and it will all clear up. Listen to the words very carefully, and be willing to do anything to win. Anything! I am, are you? And that often means not playing nice.

IAFF Supports Obama and his Intellectual Superior Joe Biden: What Issue 7 in Mason is all about

If you pay tax money to a public worker, especially firefighters, you are sending some of your money to the socialist Obama and his intellectual superior, Joe Biden, because the communist oriented International Association of Firefighters Union supports those kinds of politicians. Union employees who get their lush salaries from tax payers often convert their money into political power that often works against the public who may resent having their money spent on politicians that do not reflect their politics. Look at the latest IAFF union ad against Mitt Romney then read below how much money these same employees make and what kind of political tricks they are using to secure those wages into the future. Then tell me that they are really concerned as they report in this video below that “they care about their neighbors.” What they really mean is that they are actually well paid mercenaries—there’s a big difference.

The trouble with public workers like teachers, firefighters and police are that we have allowed radicalism from the union ranks to prevent the management of those labor costs. It is now considered taboo to even discuss intelligently the financial value of these employees because they involve the safety and well-being of our youth and our elderly with protective services. However, some have challenged these notions and made political ground that is snow balling the other way. The great weakness of the labor union argument against public sector workers is the justification for their enormous salaries which have greatly outpaced private sector incomes by more than double in some cases. Now that voters realize this discrepancy the tide is changing. Levies have not passed for schools, and recently police and fire levies have began to fail—halting the insane progress of public sector wages skyrocketing without end.

Recognizing the public push-back against public sector workers, but still wishing to keep political peace with the unions, the City Council members of Mason, Ohio have proposed a ballot initiative called Issue 7 which creates a new method of funding for safety, fire, and EMS services. The great concern for these council members is that their fire department will be coming off a 5-year property tax that expires in 2013. The Mason School System is also considering a levy in 2013 leaving politicians very concerned that the tax increases will not be passed for both issues, because there is great risk that neither will be passed. Many political insiders are praying to the presidential gods that Mitt Romney will be elected so the economy will stabilize and voters will once again have extra money to throw at altruistic causes. Others in the unions hope that Obama will retain power and continue to loot from the rich so that he will give to the middle-class—the labor unions of the proletariat. But there is big trouble on the horizon in Mason that the City Council wishes to avoid with Issue 7.

Issue 7 is a potential tax on every property owner in Mason. The current effective millage rate for Mason is 4.4 mils under the current tax levy. A new levy, voted in at 5.0 Mils, gives council the right to charge the property owners of Mason a full 5.0 Mils – which would be a tax increase. But, they can shift that burden over to the non-property non-voting individuals of the Mason Community with an Income Tax levy, and reduce the property tax millage based on any difference – or they could max out both the new income tax and the property tax. Basically, should this pass, they can do either, or both – without your vote. Issue 7 is a permanent levy that allows council to get the money they need with a vote instead of having to go back to voters during contentious future elections that are on the horizon.

This is a problem because it does not address the outrageous wages that the public sector workers in the loosely defined safety professions charge for their services. The way that Issue 7 is written safety could mean anything from additional police services to raises for firefighters—which on the surface seems practical, even attractive, until the reality of the situation is examined. Firefighter wages in Mason from 2000 to 2009 (most recent comparatives) rose 29.20% – a more than 10% rise above inflation and more than 21% greater increase than Ohio Median Household Incomes. The Business Owners, Employees, and Property Owners footing the bill for these services, in many cases have lost jobs and/or have not seen a pay increase for years. The average working wage in Warren County in 2011 was $791 per week, or $41,132.00 per year (United Sates Dept. of Labor) – and that has slipped even farther recently: Median Income in Ohio hits 27-year lows – http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2011/09/14/median-income-in-ohio-hits-27-year-low.html

In Mason a fire department with an annual budget of close to $6 million dollars of which over 83% goes to wages and benefits, includes:

Fire Chief – Annual Compensation Package – $171,328.00
Deputy Fire Chiefs (5) – Annual Compensation Package- $114,000.00
Fire Lieutenants (6) – Annual Compensation Package – $103,000.00
Firefighter/Paramedic (22) Annual Compensation Package – $91,000.00
Assorted part-time and full-time positions at a cost of approx. $930,000

The trouble with Issue 7 is that it avoids dealing with the decision of continuing the practice of paying safety employees the kind of wages seen above, and deciding whether or not 5 Deputy Chiefs are even needed at a cost of over $500,000. Instead, Issue 7 allows city council to increase taxes to make the problem go away without having to go to the voters for a fire levy that competes with a school levy for voter approval. The wording of the Proposed Charter Amendment specifically states “for Safety, Fire, and EMS” – leaving an opening for spending under the “Safety” language that could mean anything. Again, an issue that could cause future problems should the governing bodies determine safety to mean stop signs, traffic signals, police needs, water & sewer, etc.

To learn more about all the reasons voters in Mason should vote against Issue 7 the website http://www.voteno7.com/ will do the job. But for those outside of Mason who are facing similar issues, it is important to watch closely the tricks of your public officials who are looking for a way out of the corner they have painted themselves in to. They have allowed for too many years unionized public workers to give themselves pay increases at the expense of tax payers not only for a fair wage, but an excessively wealthy wage that far outpaces reality. I have no doubt in my mind that there is a value of having teachers care for children all though I’d argue that they are teaching them the wrong things, and it is nice to have paramedics and police to help keep things socially in check. But they are not worth twice as much as the average employee who is paying their wages. Mason is a wealthy area to live and their average resident wage is $41,132.00. Deputy Fire Chiefs and Fire Lieutenants are not worth six figure incomes. It may be possible to have one or two of those positions filled but not 5 to 6 in a single community. These are the problems caused by collective bargaining agreements that inflate the wage levels of public workers to insane levels, and must be pulled back into reality, and such things will never happen if tax payers throw money at those positions without doing the hard act of managing the costs with a NO vote.

Dear reader, as you head to the voting booth on November 6th keep these things in mind. Voting to not take responsibility for the outrageous costs of public employees will not solve the problem and that is what proposals like Issue 7 try to do. They are attempting to sneak a tax increase under the door by taking away a contentious levy in the future by voting for giving the ability to city council today. And such a trick must not be allowed to be played on the taxpayers. And they will be played until voters stop allowing them to happen with across the board NO votes.

(Oh–and for those union workers who think they are flag waving patriots fighting for America learn your history.  If you are in a union, you support communism, (progressive politics) especially if it is attached to the AFL-CIO.  CLICK HERE for the history you didn’t know, and chose to ignore because your pay was so enticing.)

Obama Plans Move to Home in Hawaii: Romney to Win 53.3% to Obama’s 46.7%

When dealing with diabolical liars such as what President Obama has shown to the world as his preferred means of communication, the only way to decipher their real intentions is to connect the dots of what is known and see what kind of truth the picture tells. Because it is in games of evasion that mass manipulators function best where the facts are spread far and wide—the deceits are never learned until much later because the facts are deliberately concealed preventing detection. But through speculative fiction, which is what I’m about to do, we can take the known facts and connect them in ways that make the most sense so to ascertain the next steps of a parasites intent to loot off the will of the masses with more scandals, schemes, and treacherous episodes of espionage.

Many wonder why Obama was so aloof in the first debate with Mitt Romney, but the reason was made clear thanks to Barack Obama’s mother-in-law who around that time had been uttering the ecstasy of the family’s post Presidency plans. Very quietly, Obama’s chief financier, Penny Pritzker, had entered the Hawaii housing market to buy a retirement home for the president and his family that will be available not in 2016, but in January 2013, according to a confidential source within Pritzker’s Chicago organization. Pritzker is yet another billionaire on the side of Obama who received her money as heiress of the Hyatt hotel chain and Penny has been passing the hat around Chicago asking everyone to pitch in to purchase the Obamas a new home far away from Washington and even away from Chicago. Penny had set her sights on the $40 million dollar home that was in a recent episode of Hawaii Five-O that would be down the road from the proposed Obama Library that she is also raising money to have built.

Michelle Obama’s mom has been so pleased with the knowledge that she will spend her final days in such a magnificent paradise that she had been bragging about the upcoming move to her Chicago friends who had loose enough lips to utter the details of the plan in confidence. The house is truly magnificent, and would be considered a paradise on earth for anyone, especially a person like Obama who has been given virtually everything in his life by someone else—a person who had lived in modest means for many years of his life until the progressive political machine picked him as their spokesman for the continued spread of global collectivism. The house along with more detail of the story can be verified at the below links.

http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/secret-retirement-plans-does-obama-expect-to-lose/
http://beforeitsnews.com/obama/2012/10/suprise-obama-moving-to-hawaii-january-2013-2444908.html

Many in the mainstream media will find this revelation troubling because it appears Obama was willing to throw in the Presidential towel all the way back in August of 2012, when internal pollsters showed that Mitt Romney had an easy margin of victory over Obama. This internal polling showed that Romney was going to beat Obama by a margin of 53.3% to 46.7%, statistically not even close. In fact out of the 13 battle ground states, Romney was projected to win New Mexico, North Carolina, Virginia, Iowa, New Hampshire, Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. Obama was predicted to win Michigan and Nevada but to fall dramatically short of what he needs to retain the Presidency. There appears to be little that Obama can do to erode away the 330 Electoral College votes out of the possible 538 that Romney will command. So given that dismal data, the Obamas decided to treat themselves to a good life in Hawaii with their family in a paradise far away from the trouble of Fast and Furious, a rapidly destabilized Middle East, and the effects of a dismal economy that was made worse by Obama’s socialist leaning governing principles. Moving to such a place would be considered a consolation prize and take the family as far away from politics while Obama licked his wounds in luxury for many years. You can read the polling information for yourself at the below link:

http://www.colorado.edu/news/releases/2012/10/04/updated-election-forecasting-model-still-points-romney-win-university

So it’s not hard to imagine that Obama was simply going through the motions of the election giving his speeches and campaigning so to avoid having to do any real work at The White House. And it is easy to see now why he was so placid in the first debate with Mitt Romney. A mansion like the one Obama and his wife are moving to is a dream come true for many, and for such small minds like Obama, is more than he could ever hope to obtain on his own efforts, so retirement in that palace looked pretty good and being far away from politics seemed even better. That is—until the wheels came off over the Benghazi murders, and it was learned that the story The White House had provided to explain it away wasn’t sticking, and people were asking questions.

The Benghazi debacle is so serious that it is highly likely that people from the Obama administration will go to jail, and this incident has threatened to ruin the escape to paradise plans that the Obamas had, because once they enter back into the private sector, Obama may be pulled into the fray to explain who knew what and when they knew it. This meant that if Obama was no longer president he would lose the ability to issue Executive Orders as he did with Fast and Furious to hide the administration crimes over that failure. And if Obama lost The White House to Mitt Romney he would lose the ability to protect not only himself, but many of his friends from future prosecution. So the new strategy going into October of 2012, especially the last two weeks of the month as it was noticed that the public polling was tightening up perfectly to reflect the dismal news of the internal polling, that Obama would have to get mean and nasty on the campaign trail and fight for his life—because in a lot of way’s—he is.

This explains the drastic shift in personal attacks even when polling shows that the President is liked by women, and women prefer not to see people treating others with such aggression. Obama knows that he has no choice but to pound away at Romney and hope to provoke him into a mistake that will truly cut into the internal poll—because the women demographic is already figured into the internal polling. All Obama can do is hope to make Romney flinch and reveal a major mistake that will cost him the election. But Romney isn’t biting because he has the same polling data—and knows that if he just keeps doing what he has been that he will win comfortably over President Obama.

The only way to have justice is to remove Obama from The White House. There are serious crimes committed during his administration that make Watergate and the Iran Contra Affair look like children’s games. Obama looks to be facing court rooms as a defendant for many years in a never-ending parade of paybacks for all the bridges he burnt as President, and all the crimes he succeeded in committing as he fulfilled his obligations to his friends of the clandestine Weather Underground as a good soldier for the push of world peace through socialist expansion. For Obama, paradise will have to wait one way or the other, if he loses—as he’s projected, he will be ripped to shreds legally. If he manages to win, he will be ripped to shreds politically. Either way, the future does not look bright for President Barack Hussein Obama.

The best way to see justice done is to show up and vote as planned, so that the formula for the internal polling is not interrupted. All people need to do to see the people responsible for the many crimes committed under the Obama watch is to vote him out of office and let the process take care of itself under Constitutional merit.

Lies, Cheats, and the Game of Cowards: The Benghazi Mask of Fools

It is now obvious that the White House knew about the terrorist attack against the four Americans in Benghazi that claimed the life of Ambassador Chris Stevens, two former Navy Seals and a State Department official.  The terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia took credit for the killings and the body mutilation of Sevens.  In fact a drone and other reconnaissance aircraft observed the final hours of the fight.  The White House knew two hours into the seven hour attack that American officials were under assault by terrorists which is deeply disconcerting considering The White House after seeing the evidence wished to deflect attention away from the idea of a terrorist assault that occurred on 9/11 2012 even though Sevens had even warned about the activity prior to the attack.  Instead The White House insisted that the violence was instigated by an anti-Muslim American movie—but it didn’t work—The White House, apparently the CIA and many other manipulative federal agencies had been caught with their hands in the cookie jar attempting to create a “false flag” event.  Watch the videos below for further clarification of who knew what and when they knew it.  The situation is extremely serious and looks to make the Fast and Furious event look like a misdemeanor—which of course Obama invoked Executive Privilege to protect Eric Holder and himself from further implication. What has occurred under this Obama White House may well be the most corrupt and destructive since Al Capone ran his famous organized crime syndicate in Chicago during the Prohibition.  The actions taken by many people just between the Fast and Furious scenario and now Benghazi deserve prison terms and possibly capital punishment.  They are reprehensible actions and I am personally ashamed that these kinds of people are the face of my country. 

But those of us who can see these actions for what they are, also know that nothing will ever come of it.  Obama will earn millions of dollars as a public speaker once his term is done, and Congress will lose it’s will to pursue justice.  These problems are just too big for the average mind of the average American to deal with.  CLICK HERE TO SEE WHY.  The criminals of manipulation are very aware of their desire to overwhelm the media and the public with too much crime so that nobody can possibly get their mind around the enormous tragedies of modern politics, so I will frame the argument in the fashion that so many conspiracy theories and minds of madness wish to ignore.

The trouble with the Middle East, and all other places in the world is that America uses the CIA to manipulate governments, topple regimes, and pit factions against each other so that America can profit off the chaos.  Any rational mind can see these activities in their simple local governments, and the situation is greatly magnified on the world stage where a lot of money and crony capitalism reigns supreme.  The political left wishes to address the problem with socialism, with a feeling of fairness to eliminate such global terror that often follows America’s own Central Intelligence Administration.  The political right looks to align themselves with the crony capitalists who hold the power of a particular regime. 

America has made it a habit of using the CIA specifically to implement a thousand James Bond plots all over the world without the stereotypical villains and the beautiful women in casinos.  But the manipulative plots conjured up to protect American interests are deplorable, and if used in a sporting event would be equivalent to cheating.  The Obama White House has been caught doing what the Bush Administration has done, the Clinton Administration has done, the Reagan Administration has done, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnston, Kennedy, all the way down to World War I essentially—and that is to use clandestine activities to advance American interests while also maintaining the public ability to shake hands with those same countries at the table of The United Nations.  It is the American participation in The United Nations that causes the need for back-stabbing actions by bringing into the equation politics showing the public a nice smiley face when in fact the various factions hate each other and want nothing to do with peace. 

I would rather see all sides of an argument spit in each others face and go to war over their ideas than to shake hands in public and assassinate each other behind the cloak of secrecy.  I would rather live in an America that out produces the rest of the world with laissez-faire capitalism than to use the CIA to get two sides fighting so that America can sell them both items made in America.  I would rather win by truly being superior than by invoking manipulative schemes to topple our enemies from within their own cultures.  If a president wanted to get rid of Kaddafi, I would have rather that president announce it clearly instead of using an Ambassador to funnel guns to the rebels who were actually connected to al-Qaeda and knew it—but also knew that the American people would never support such alliances, so the whole thing was done under the cloak of manipulation. 

People seem to forget that Saddam Hussein was created to invoke war with Iran during the Reagan years to help stabilize the situation there to American advantage.  And Osama bin-Laden was created to help Afghanistan fight against the Soviet Union.  Currently the war in Afghanistan could be argued not to be about fighting the Taliban but in protecting the opium trade of which Afghanistan is the world’s largest producer.  Have a look at the article below and the date:

 http://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/20/world/taliban-s-ban-on-poppy-a-success-us-aides-say.html

Now look at the same paper reporting the situation 10 years later, and any mind with a brain can see that opium production has steadily increased each year since the 9/11 event in America. 

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=0

Does this mean that President Bush started a war with Afghanistan to protect world-wide opium production?  No.  But his advisors who are not elected but appointed who clearly get their marching orders from political donors do have a vested interest in the billions of dollars produced by Afghan opium production.  Those same donors give money to Obama, and both presidents have learned that even though they may publicly oppose drug use and opium production must turn a blind eye to the actions of their political contributors who need to maintain a façade of philanthropy while cashing in on the drug trade in Afghanistan, because the Taliban had tried to put a stop on the practice for spiritual reasons in 2001, just a few months before 9/11.  Such a case is purely hypothetical, but none of it would surprise me.  It can be seen how such tangled webs can snare so many good people to endorsing a reprehensible evil that nobody in the public wishes to acknowledge.  So often, the CIA is sent in to fix up these loose ends and keep all the dirty business away from the public eyes, including Presidents of The United States. 

There are a lot of Chris Stevens in the world who are killed and wiped from the earth with no eyes to witness.  The attackers of Stevens knew there was blood on the hands of powerful people in America and they dared those powerful people to challenge them by maiming the body of Stevens in a deplorable manner.  And just as they figured the guilty actions of all involved in the Benghazi debacle–the powerful people in America hid like cowards and attempted to blame a film maker for the violence that was started through area manipulation—that went wrong. 

I am not against the aggressive protection of freedom throughout the world, the crushing of tyrannical despots, and authoritarian regimes.  But I am against shaking hands with such people in the halls of the United Nations, then sending assassins to cut off their heads in the night so the blood is off the hands of public opinion.  I would rather see America do such things in the light of day with full declaration of their bold intentions.  It would be advisable going into the future for the power brokers who whisper into the ears of naive Presidents to stay out of the protection of illegal, reprehensible drug trafficking, the modern slavery of the sex trade, and a whole laundry list of financial despots who wish to rule the world not with a crown, or a kingdom, but with bank accounts that control politicians like mindless puppets to play the entire world—including America—as pawns in their vast schemes of power grabbing all in the name of philanthropy. 

Such days of cloak and dagger games are ending because the world is shrinking, and such things can no longer be hidden.  And in the future, such honesty is required so that courage can be truly awarded to those who are the best, and not the most sinister.
