Overcoming an American President: Making ‘Tail of the Dragon’ novel–metaphor at The White House

At Amazon.com my new book has been sold out for most of 2013 which has qualified Tail of the Dragon for some bulk discounts bringing down the price.  Amazon is now offering Tail of the Dragon for $17.99 on their online store.  I can’t promise that the same price will be held elsewhere as Amazon has a relationship with my distributer and publisher that allows for the price reduction.

I am very proud of the way the novel Tail of the Dragon came about.  Those who have read the book have had wonderful things to say about it, and have enjoyed the contemporary message that is uniquely a mix between Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Smokey and the Bandit.  I did with the novel what I do with most things—I put a lot of effort into the project on the front end.  I am never happy embarking on a creative endeavor from the distance of mere contemplation.  For instance, in the title I am currently working on called The Trial of Fletcher Finnegan, where the entire United States military representing global bank cartels wish to arrest the protagonist for being a flame of liberty in the small, seemingly insignificant town of Fort Seven Mile, Ohio I want to have some authenticity about the character as I write it.  So I tend to incorporate such needs into my research.  In this case it requires me to do things that I cannot say at this time, until some future date, but I do place myself into my character’s shoes whenever I can.  I want to know that what I put to paper is possible, and not just the fantasy of a person locked in psychological duality—where they live one way of life, but write about another.  I want to know that what I write about could happen the way I envision it, and the best way to perform such a thing is to do samplings of the behavior in real life.

For Tail of the Dragon my wife and I rode over 20,000 miles on a motorcycle during one summer.  Even though the novel is about an epic car chase, the essence of the story is about the struggle for real freedom, not just the legal illusion.  That meant I had to understand the idea more than just intellectually—I needed to see and feel it up close.   So we rode our motorcycle from the shores of Lake Erie to the southern tip of Key West and many points in between while I worked out the details in the novel to give the story a uniquely hands on feel.  The result of those journeys can be seen in the below six part video series featuring The Making of Tail of the Dragon.  Click on the videos to watch, and then click on the descriptive text below to revisit the details of each episode.

In Part One, my wife and I visited the actual site of the mythical Tail of the Dragon in the pouring rain riding at elevations over 5000 feet.  This was the first time I had ever visited the road and was scouting for a metaphorical template for which to paint a uniquely American version of freedom upon.   I had heard about the Tail of the Dragon at Deal’s Gap in North Carolina, but had to see the place for myself.

In Part Two we approached the Tail of the Dragon from the west across the Cherohala Skyway nick-named the Mile High Legend.  I wanted the car chase in my story to begin on the Skyway which is the only way over the mountains from the west.  At 100 to 200 MPH of speed during the chase landmarks come and go quickly, so I had to have a good feel for the roads in and around the area.

In Part Three, I needed to work out the context of the main character’s obsession with personal freedom.  To accomplish this, my wife and I took a long, hot, and punishing trip to Key West by motorcycle to study a place which is well-known for its love of personal freedom and distrust of politics.

In Part Four, I joined a motorcycle club and became its vice-president participating in a membership ride from Cleveland, Ohio to Freemont just south of Sandusky.  I was working on the problem of individualism over collectivism and had become fascinated by the dual problem present with motorcycle riders where they proclaim to be rugged individualists, yet travel together in packed formations much like birds in flight.  The concept seemed wrong to me, so I explored the idea first-hand.

In Part Five, my daughter rode her first motorcycle on her own with me to Cleveland for a film festival where I was set to pick up an award for a separate project.  We raced up I-71 at speeds exceeding 90 MPH most of the way as time was not on our side.  As a man, I am a risk taker, and that tendency is certainly present in my Tail of the Dragon characters.  But I wanted to explore a trust issue where my wife and daughter needed to trust my recklessness to a new level.  I was working out a problem I was having in the novel and I needed to prove a theory to myself so that I could find the words to articulate the problem for my characters.

In Part Six, I needed to solve a new problem.  The story required a level of fearlessness that comes only to those who really push life to the ultimate limits.  That requires participants to move beyond the social façade most live within their entire lives.  I felt the best way to do this was to go to one of the most haunted places in the country and face down the ghosts that live there.  It was a supernatural themed motorcycle trip that will never be forgotten.

The result of all these trips became the basis for my novel Tail of the Dragon.  I am very proud of the result.   Even though the story is essentially a high-speed car chase and audacious flight from everything representing modern authority, the psychological transformation of the characters required that I put them “above” all established authority known to the present day world from which we live.  Most people recognize the American President of The United States as being the ultimate authority figure on planet earth.  In my story, this meant that my characters had to overcome this figure—at least metaphorically.  I knew I hit the mark when my editor at American Book commented on the scene which took place in The White House with tears of joy.  I further received conformation when the copyeditor hired by American Book to finalize the manuscript wrote me a personal note which can be seen here:

Rich, here’s a lovely comment from the copyeditor to you:

 Mr. Hoffman:  It was very much an honor to work on your book, which I found to be fascinating, thrilling, and insightful.  I found myself pouring through the book, wanting to know what would happen next.  Your book is wonderful on its own, and on top of that, it reminds me of my own parents; I can’t wait to have them read the book once it is printed.  Thank you for the pleasure of being part of such an enjoyable and rewarding process;  I wish you the best of luck! 

 

To get the climax to work in The White House I needed to take the readers to a place that no other mechanism had achieved in society, no song, no movie, no television show, no piece of prior literature—nothing.  My editors on the East Coast are hardly bastions of conservativism.  At the start of the book they were much more aligned with the type of people who voted for Barack Obama than my Tea Party favoring tendencies of Rand and Ron Paul.  What I had to overcome in Tail of the Dragon was this notion that the American President was a figurehead to be worshipped and honored, and that was an idea that transcended any political party known to current society.  The primary antagonist in Tail of the Dragon was willing to do anything to become president.  He was willing to run over anyone anywhere to have the chance to sit in the Oval Office—so to achieve the aims of his political ideology which he had built over a lifetime.  This all comes at the expense of society and the individuals that make it up.  To make my point I had to go beyond this ridiculous notion and place my heroes above all established authority—not as typical outlaws, but as something else—that defied understanding prior to my writing of Tail of the Dragon.

I had the idea in my head, but to put the final touches on it, I can say that those 20,000 miles of motorcycle riding finalized my thoughts into a coherent philosophy that is unique onto itself.  The cure for the human race is to arrive at the mental view-point the President arrived at during the climax of Tail of the Dragon.  And for me to understand that not just conceptually but philosophically required an extraordinary journey both physically and mentally that pushed me to my limits in a unique way so that when I put words to paper the context was created in a way that had never been done before.  My editor’s reaction was the first conformation of that success.  The second has been the slowly building love for the novel by those who have read it, and kept Tail of the Dragon a rare commodity at Amazon.com driving the price down so more people can enjoy the fun, adventure, and philosophy for which it contains.

Making of ‘Tail of the Dragon’ The Novel Part V: Morality beyond the limits of political law

Many people used to say that someday I would learn my place, and stop being so rambunctious.  They said that someday I would turn down the music and place my foot lighter on the accelerator.  They used to say that once I did some jail time, or paid enough fines that I would “settle down.”  That was nearly three decades ago, and those people if they are still alive themselves, have stopped tapping their foot waiting for it to happen.  They have had to accept that after all the many, many times that I have stood in front of judges, all the countless times I have had patrol car lights behind me, and even the times that I represented myself in court because my legal representation was incompetent and not able to defend my cases to my satisfaction, that their dreams of defeat would come.  People who have stood against me, or wished for me to fall in line with typical human acceptance of authority have had to give up on their dreams of my compliance.  What they never figured out was that I learned when I was very young that the American legal system was made up of social looters who were more interested in making money, than justice, and the intent behind law was not the protection of private property—as its supposed to be, but in the rule of a political class over the “common man,” and I have fought that tendency since I was a 5-year-old child with my Big Wheel.  And I haven’t kept my opinions to myself over the years.  Instead I have taught them to my kids which can be seen in the below video, which is Part 5 of the Making of series chronicling the creation of my latest novel Tail of the Dragon.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS.  In the video, my daughter and her husband accompanied my wife and I to the Indie Gathering Film Festival in Cleveland, Ohio to accept an award for a short film I had entered for competition titled The Overman, for the best experimental film category.

Because of my thoughts about speed, and the legal system I had no problem telling the operators of the film festival that I would arrive at 10 AM that morning from Cincinnati.  My daughter and her husband wanted to go with us, so we planned a motorcycle trip for the weekend up to Cleveland.  I wanted to take a break from the writing of Tail of the Dragon to accept the award, so we decided to leave on a Saturday morning, spend the night at the Holiday Inn at West Lake where the film festival was being held, then return on Sunday.  At 5 AM in the morning, we hit the road on my Boulevard motorcycle.  My son-in-law rode the GS750 that he bought from me the year before, and my daughter rode their Kawasaki Ninja.  However, my daughter had never ridden a motorcycle on her own.  Previously she had ridden on the back of the Ninja with my son-in-law, but that was the extent of her motorcycle riding experience.  So I promised her we’d take several breaks along the way.  Her only real concern at the time was that she only had a temp permit, and was concerned that she’d run into trouble with the law being so far away from home on just a learners permit.  This was the way I came up with the plot line in Tail of the Dragon where Rick Stevens gets pulled over by the police while on a learners permit in Tennessee.  My daughter was taking a big risk riding a very fast motorcycle as her first real riding experience, and over such a vast distance.  But as I’ve always taught her, without risk the rewards are often not very profitable, so she desired to take a risk in hope of rewards and push herself in a way she had never done before.  600 miles over a weekend on a motorcycle at over 80 to 90 MPH the entire time as a beginning rider with only a motorcycle temp license was challenging, and I was proud of her.

We stopped short of Columbus well before the sun came up to get a feel for how she was doing.  Early in the game, she was getting used to the bike and the speed, so we were able to move on up the highway making a few fuel stops and a traditional breakfast at the Cracker Barrel—which we tend to do when traveling as a family.  Much of the time we were traveling at over 90 MPH as the sun was coming up which was spectacular.  It’s the kind of experience that cannot be explained to people who have not participated in that kind of activity.  With me the speed is necessary.  I was scheduled to arrive in Cleveland at Lake Wood around 10 AM to get my booth set up and report for the screening of my film.  But I set such deadlines knowing the pace I typically travel at, which is faster than flight if TSA lines are accounted for.  I can often travel to far-flung cities quicker than an airplane can load passengers, takeoff, and land dispatching their customers.  So I often take full advantage of that ability.

Many people over the years have told me that my driving tendencies are reckless, but this is based on the perspective of “average” people who desire to be led around like cattle by a political class afraid of their own shadows.  Never-the-less, my attitude has put me into a lot of trouble with the law.  The goal of these legal altercations has not been justice on behalf of the safety of mankind.  The goal is to use the law, which has set speed limits unnecessarily low so that politicians can have the opportunity to have a tax increase against the public in the disguise of “justice.”  The point of my new novel was to illustrate this fact based on my many experiences in front of judges and police officers.  My editor at American Book at one point challenged one of the confrontations that Rick Stevens, (the protagonist of Tail of the Dragon) had with a police officer—as there were several—and didn’t believe that a cop would behave in the way I described in the novel.  I explained to her that I had been in nearly the same exact circumstance in real life which involved a gun, and that Rick Stevens story had its roots more in reality than in fiction.

We arrived in Cleveland  to meet the day ahead of the other contestants even though many of them were already staying at the hotel.  We were the first to arrive in the networking room, which is the way I like to perform my business.  We set up our table and did our work at the festival.  I shook hands, signed autographs, posed for pictures and received my awards.  When the other filmmakers went to a party at the hotel bar that night, my family was in our hotel room working on philosophy concepts and taking notes from the day.  My son-in-law does a lot of thinking of his own and had many thoughts to capture from his observations, and my daughter naturally does as well.  She often stays up late every night writing down ideas, editing pictures and doing research, so we don’t attend many parties.  We socialize in a festive fashion on VERY rare occasions.  I spent many hours after everyone went to bed working on a re-write of the completed Tail of the Dragon manuscript based on some of my observations from the previous day.

The next day, we awoke, had a nice breakfast and said goodbye to everyone in Cleveland.  We hit the road with the same fury for which we came.  At a fuel stop, my very fatigued daughter let the Ninja fall over as she was extremely tired from the hard riding the previous day and so far during our trip south.  The bike’s fall bent the shift shaft that went into the gearbox preventing the Ninja from shifting out of second gear.  This essentially halted our progress as it would be impossible to do any highway driving without the ability to shift out of second gear.  My son-in-law and I went to fix the bent shaft and get the bike operating again.  My daughter felt terrible.  She was tired, strained to her limit, and still nearly 200 miles from home.  She was caught between the tough spot of wanting to complete the journey and hoping that the motorcycle was broken beyond repair to relieve her of having to ride it back home.  For people not used to such long rides, a 90 MPH journey on a crotch rocket over 200 miles of highway is tough.  The wind beats at the body in terrible ways and there is no way to shift a seating position to become more comfortable.  She was tired, and her legs weren’t working very well from being deprived of movement which is why the bike fell over during a fuel stop.

But she toughed it out once we got the bike operating again.  We stopped just above Columbus for dinner after spending most of the afternoon fixing the bike in a parking lot.  Once we arrived above Columbus we were close enough to home that she knew she could do the last hour and a half on a full stomach.  She swore to me that she’d never ride that far again, and it took her a long time to get back on a motorcycle.  She was never so glad to arrive home as she was that day.  The first day had been fun, but tiring.  The second day had been too much.  It did occur to me on the way home to back off the gas, and drop down to 75 MPH or even 65 MPH.  But I was worried that if we yielded to the circumstances that my daughter would always feel that the situation had conquered her, instead of her conquering the situation.  As a father, I did worry about her blanking out from the strain and crashing all over the highway.  But I wanted her to know that I trusted her, and her desire to not let me down was a gift from me to her in delivering her to a conquest that she will know all her life as one she didn’t walk away from.

When my daughter was a little girl, a bully spit on her while she played with her sister and friends at the playground.  He had been showing off for his friends and was older by several years.  My kids were targeted because I had been known in our neighborhood as the most vicious advocate against marijuana sales anywhere in southern Ohio.  I caused such a ruckus over the sale of marijuana in my community that I knew all the cops by name as they came to my house so often.  After a while I gave up calling the cops because it was revealed to me that they were involved in the pot sales directly and passively.  In fact I had a next door neighbor who was a cop and he fought me viciously as he thought I was a NARC, and made sure everyone knew it, not only in the neighborhood but also on the police force.  I gave up on the legal system when it was realized that it was corrupt beyond repair, and my experiences thereafter became my novel The Symposium of Justice.  Once it became known that I would not yield to my neighbors who wanted to buy and use marijuana we went into a stalemate since the law was technically on my side.  So they sent their children after my children which is how the little boy spit on my little girl.  My daughter has always been a very confident person, full of life, and the look on her face when she came home with spittle on the front of her shirt was one of the moments that could have shattered her for the rest of her life.  The intention by the boys was to impose their will upon her with force and push her into social compliance.  They were bigger and meaner and the message to my kids was that they would have to submit to the thuggish authority of the neighborhood bullies or suffer the consequences.  So I packed my kids and their friends into our car and tracked down the bullies at their house where I “forcefully” made the guilty boy apologize to my daughter in front of his father—who had actually encouraged the behavior.  About a month later some much older boys, from 18 to 20 years old gathered in front of our house across the street in a mob of about 30 young people and harassed my 9 to 10-year-old children for riding their bicycles on the sidewalk.  My wife called me at work, so I rushed home and instantly engaged the boys in “aggressive confrontation.”  The police never came, the owner of the house stayed inside looking out their upstairs window hoping that the fight would go their way, but it didn’t.  The boys were forced to disperse in retreat.   The next morning there was a broken egg at the end of my driveway where some smartass thinking they were tough threw an egg from across the street to land on my driveway behind our family car during the night.  They were testing the waters to see if I would let it go.  That night when the sun went down, I bought two dozen eggs and lunched them at the home blasting the windows and doors with slimy yoke and broken shells.  The homeowners were in their living room watching TV, but never came to the window or even opened the door.  And they certainly didn’t call the police, not with the amount of pot they had in their house which nobody wanted to address.  The cop next door was friends with the owners of that home, and did not make a move either.  Watching all this activity my children learned about justice in life, and what sometimes has to be done to get it.  This is why my daughter exhausted from 600 plus miles of riding a motorcycle across the state of Ohio twice in two days struggled to keep the bike upright and conquer her exhaustion to arrive home save and sound.  The whole point of riding the bike herself and not just sitting on the back with my son-in-law was so that she could prove to herself that she could achieve the feat. And she did.  If I had interfered with her as an adult, I would have done her a disservice.  It was my job when she was a child to interfere and kick the crap out of some neighborhood kids that were harassing her because I was teaching her not to give up…….as a father.  But coming back from Cleveland, Ohio after a weekend film festival, she had to live up to what she had become as an adult.  It was hard, I was worried she might not make it, but I was more worried about what would happen if she didn’t fight through it and conquer a lingering fear.

These thoughts and history are what went into the fearless nature of Rick Stevens in my novel Tail of the Dragon.   When we arrived home, I again wrote pages and pages of dialogue and thoughts about what I had witnessed.  I was proud of my daughter, and everyone who had traveled those roads with me that weekend.  The climax for many would have been getting the award at the film festival.  But for me, it was only a footnote.  I like getting awards, and enjoy the company of people at those kinds of events.  But it was the journey I remembered most from that weekend which is why there isn’t more footage of the actual festival in my video.  For me, it was the boldness that my daughter tackled in her challenge of riding a motorcycle to Cleveland and back during a weekend on a learners permit at high-speed that mattered.  The experience would have been denied to us if we stayed within the parameters of the law, as concocted by politicians.  I have learned over the years such as in the situation with my neighbor and the many trips to court that I have personally endeavored in; that the law is more adequately used to restrict the lives of people more than it is dedicated to justice, or “fairness.”  So I typically consider law as a second-hand notion.  This attitude is reflected in my characters from Tail of the Dragon exceptionally well.  It also makes it a unique work of thought. Readers of Tail of the Dragon get the rare opportunity to climb into the mind of outlaws like Rick and his wife Renée Stevens to discover aspects of themselves that long ago yielded to the parameters of fear that has been imposed upon them tragically.  The idea of freedom is as foreign to them as the surface of Jupiter is to a villager in the Congo.  It makes me proud when my family goes on trips like the one to the film festival with me and overcomes a number of obstacles to enjoy a fine meal in utter exhaustion just north of Columbus on a hot Sunday afternoon an hour and a half away from home.

Some might read what I’ve said here and think that I am a bad parent for encouraging my daughter to break the speed limit, and drive under improper endorsements.  Those are the same type of people who spit on that same child and earned my wrath when the police had conspired with them to clear me from a neighborhood so that marijuana sales could flow without opposition.  And it is that type of utter hypocrisy which causes Rick Stevens in Tail of the Dragon to thumb his nose at the government of The United States and take his fight to the death under the mantra “live free or die.”  For Rick Stevens, he meant it.  And the way to make the words come to paper came from rides like the one to a Cleveland film festival with my daughter who was stepping into her adulthood with the fearless conquest of obstacles that most cower from in trepidation only to punch through the other side in a life of illumination that shines through in virtually every action of human endeavor.

It was never my intention to grow up in a typical fashion to become a nice compliant adult that does whatever a political class determines in their infantile wisdom to be sufficient to the human experience.  In that regard, I have always been on a quest for the “super human” experience.  I have taught my children nothing short of living their lives as “super humans” themselves.  And upon delivering my children into adulthood I am not done with parenting.  Only now, the students are not my biological children but the inquiring minds of those who know there is more to life than what they see before them, and lack the faculties to meet that life.  For such minds, being an average human will not be enough.  They must become more so.  For them, I present Rick Stevens and the greatest car chase in the history of the world in the novel Tail of the Dragon.

Righteous Outrage toward Latte Sipping Prostitutes: Honoring the “BUST” of Ayn Rand

Bill O’Reilly calls it “Righteous Outrage” to explain away his tendency to blast people who attempt to spin the truth of a matter to such extremes that they avoid the perils of facts.  He coined the phrase recently after his indignation over Alan Combs defense of Barack Obama, (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW).  But I have been using the tactic to great effect for a long time, and today is the one year anniversary of one of my most well-known escapades.

One year ago to this exact day the media all over Cincinnati jumped on the progressive bandwagon by calling me a “sexist” following the lead of a hand-full of radical school levy supporters. (CLICK FOR REVIEW)  The reason was that my group No Lakota Levy had politically sidestepped a local West Chester charity in giving money to children to help pay for sports fees at the school which severely disrupted the political temperament of my community.   I was also the Butler County Coordinator for the Workplace Freedom Amendment petition drive, which intends to bring right-to-work status to Ohio—which is of course extremely controversial.  Governor Kasich is against the measure, so I had painted a very large target on my back.  I had made sure that everyone saw the target by painting it myself with very bring colors.  The school levy supporters who have their hand into just about every aspect of local politics—by design could not beat my arguments leaving them no choice but to attack me personally—which of course I would strike back.  Then they would go to even more extremes until something broke.  Normally, this is where conservatives stop and yield to the progressive.  (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW) I didn’t.  Instead I went on a long and calculated rant calling my political enemies “Latte sipping prostitutes with rear ends the size of car tires and diamond rings to match,” which set of a rage off howls in protest.  My “righteous outrage” had achieved the desired effect. 

Progressive feminist groups thought they had me on a hook for character assassination.  They lashed out with a fury that can be seen at the end of this article in the comments that were sent to me during the media blitz, and in public protests as can be seen by CLICKING HERE.  All of this behavior was expected, and the behavior calculated.  I even had meetings with people a month before hand on how to stir up the “hornets nest” of the type of people who support school levies with mindless emotional dedication to progressive ideology.  I had decided that traditional politics would no longer work because the other side did not fear anything from conservatives.  My political enemies expected my conservative politics to yield in the face of name calling, so a new strategy was needed.  For that strategy, I turned to a book I greatly treasure on my book shelf titled, A General History of the Pyrates (correct spelling) written controversially in 1724 by Daniel DaFoe, or Nathaniel Mist under the pseudonym Captain Charles Johnson.  I realized that the progressive liberals, and progressive Republicans were both playing a game against everyone in the middle, and the trend had to stop—and that meant that a tactic that was more reminiscent of past victories against similar forces that had been successful needed to be utilized with “righteous outrage.” I found the examples I was looking for in that very wonderful book that I read often in harsh candlelight of dark nights to capture the spirit for which it was written.  So I created my new strategy knowing that people I thought were friends would abandon me in favor of their love of political pull, and my enemies could be moved to reveal their hearts with “righteous outrage.”  The political structure itself needed to be attacked.  This resulted in the bait of blood that was thrown into the water which the “latte sipping prostitutes” converged on like piranhas in an Amazonian tributary.

I didn’t mind the criticism and enjoyed the jests until I heard the words calling me a sexist leveled in my direction.  The term “sexist” is always directed at anyone who does not support the progressive version of women’s rights and even though I knew it was coming, it did piss me off in ways I will never forget or yield to.  The hypocrisy of progressives in calling anyone who thinks differently than they do names without expecting to receive the same in return is truly baffling.  But even more baffling are those who allow it to occur.  I would argue that Mitt Romney should have attacked back with “righteous outrage” when he was referred to as “sexist” in his position regarding his hiring of women in his famous “folders” incident exposed in the 2012 Presidential debates.  The progressive attack is the same with Romney that I experienced at the local level in the Cincinnati media which comes directly from the Saul Alinsky book of strategy called Rules for Radicals, which all progressives seem to use in virtually every confrontationTo beat this book that the left uses so effectively was the reason I turned to my good friend Captain Johnson in A General History of the Pyrates.  A lot can be learned of the way that Blackbeard blockaded Charleston and turned the entire city into fearful servants to his cause.  The characters and politics are virtually the same as today, and people behave with the same motivations——especially the dastardly progressive and their European sensibilities.  The study of Blackbeard’s strategies while being immoral, are practical when discovering the various uses of “righteous outrage” to exploit the weaknesses of an enemy.

The same feminists who attempted to paint me with the “sexist” brush failed miserably because they neglected to address the kind of hypocrisy that always comes up when they start casting accusations based on their very limited political ideology.  In my life aside from being married for nearly a quarter century, raising two daughters and working with women for many years successfully without ever being thought of as a “sexist” many of the values I typically celebrate openly are dedicated to a couple of women who I think a whole lot of, Annie Oakley and Ayn Rand.  Only ignorant fools believe everything that people tell them, which is why they constantly vote in favor of big government programs and school levies.  This is the tendency that needed to be exploited when the accusations in my case were so far from the truth that everybody could easily see how audacious the lies, the smearing, and the propaganda truly were.  My description of the typical levy supporter behavior was intended for their ears, yet the progressive feminist movement within the Lakota School District wanted to pull all women into their collective crusade of man hating.  Their lives are hypocrisies of the highest order yet they have shaped the political landscape of our modern country in such destructive ways.  They claim they want Beta Men when they really want 50 Shades of Grey.  CLICK FOR MORE INFO.

What surprised me was how few men wanted to publicly support my comments, especially on talk radio.  In private everyone said they supported my opinions, but in public they said they couldn’t, because as they put it, “we want to get laid at least once a month.”  That confession in its own right said a lot and it took me a couple of months to properly categorize the severity level of the problem this has caused in our political society, which has been documented extensively here. But for feminists to call me a sexist when I have so openly supported Ayn Rand is like calling a guy eating a big juicy hamburger a “vegan.”  Ayn Rand it would seem should be embraced by feminists as she created in the novel Atlas Shrugged the strongest female hero ever for any fictional story in Dagny Taggert.   Yet the same type of women I purposely called latte sipping prostitutes because of their lack of understanding about finances and their neurotic social behavior which desired to be subsidized by the Lakota tax payer, do not support Ayn Rand.  In fact they are the kind of people who typically find any reference to Ayn Rand despicable.

The feminist movement has never been about rights for women—as it was sold.  It is about the destruction of the American family, and it is about enslaving all women into collective ideology.  Ayn Rand spoke about real independence.  The progressive feminist movement is about dependency.  Not dependency on a man, or her family, but on the collective plight of women.  Knowing this, I wanted to expose it.  And in doing so a light was put on just how ridiculous these radical progressive feminists truly are—who shape modern politics in such destructive ways.  The answer for the progressive feminist is more government to make women equal, not actually making women equal or superior to men—as I’ve stated I believe should be the public attitude.  Men should treat women as their betters—and this position frightens the kind of women I called out in Lakota and the type of women who attempt to advance progressive politics with government expansion.   Of course not all women believe what the nutty feminist does; most women would like to live in the type of world that Ayn Rand created for Dagny Taggert.  And most men would respect Dagny without even thinking of her as a woman.  It is this trait alone that exposes the modern progressive feminist as a fraud.  When they preach independence for women and equal pay, they really mean government dependence and just another form of modern slavery.  When presented with two options, collective identification with other progressive women which can be seen on any episode of Opera or the independence of a woman like Dagny Taggert written about in Ayn Rand’s classic novel Atlas Shrugged the progressive picks the slavery and dooms the advocate of independence.

This is why I am considering buying the replica of Ayn Rand seen above.  The artist did such a wonderful job in creating the features of Ayn Rand who deserves her place in history as one of the greatest literary figures ever known……….who happens to be a woman.  If not just for her literary achievements, she worked out the issues of her Objectivism philosophy which is taking hold and shaping the current freedom movement.  In some says Ayn Rand is the Sam Adams of our day.  Her written work is changing minds and policy in similar ways that Adams did when the colonists where breaking away from England in 1771 to 1773.  If I purchased the displayed bust of Ayn Rand I would exhibit it proudly in my living room under my gigantic banner for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers skull that hangs in my foyer so that visitors could see how important Ayn Rand is to my household.  But more than anything Ayn Rand is a progressive killer, because if Ayn had been a man, the feminists might have been able to launch a successful argument against the current freedom movement.  Being a woman however, exposes the feminist for their true intentions and gives people like me plenty of cannon balls to fire off in the direction of the progressive nut jobs whose very existence is a devious testament to slavery in the name of real independence.

When I said what I did which caused such a stir a year ago, I knew that it would be painful on the front end, but that slowly over the coming weeks and months, the hypocrisy would be seen by the public at large, which it has.  I knew of the hypocrisy because of my yearly work celebrating the birthday of Annie Oakley with the Wild West rituals I share with my friends in the show business industry.  And I knew about the hypocrisy from comparing Ayn Rand’s work to the bizarre political position of the modern progressive—and it had come time to expose them with some flash and fanfare.  Even still, when I meet people in public my comments of one year ago are still fresh in people’s minds and it brings a smile to their faces.  The smile is from acknowledging that they think the same thing that I do, only they were too timid to ever express such a thing in public—which has always been the strategic design behind Rules for Radicals—to expose the trustworthy nature of the neutral human being.  (Yes, I have read the book and am turning the strategy against those who have used it against the good of us for years.  The book is a work of evil and is dedicated to Lucifer, so I have NO problem attacking it with my own pirate tactics.  It deserves to be attacked, believe me.  And if you don’t, then read it yourself) The way to take America back from the progressive is to turn their strategies against them and when they call people like myself “greedy, selfish, heartless human beings” for standing against their desire for free government babysitting in public education then they deserve to be called worse by me in return—and I will continue to do so, until they get the message and stop asking for handouts.  If they want respect, they will have to act like Dagny Taggert or a character from an Ayn Rand novel.  If they want more ridicule then keep acting like Hillary Clinton or  Betty Friedan.  Independence does not mean more government assistance—it means independence in every fashion of the word.  To date, such a definition has never been more clearly defined for women or men than in the work of Ayn Rand, which is why I admire the sculpture so much and would love to obtain one for my private collection.  Her bust highlights the events of our day in a fashion that history will remember with clarity when it looks into her clay filled eyes with pride that only time will paint in the correct context.

Now enjoy reading below the mind of some Latte Sipping Prostitutes with asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match!  These are just a sample of the kind of people who support school levies in the Lakota School District.  Also to The Cincinnati Enquirer—specifically Michael Clark, who provoked these comments…………..enjoy the demise of your paper after the 97 layoffs you had this past week, 1/3rd of your entire workforce.  You only have your reporting to blame.  I told you in my back yard after you said I could trust you even though your wife worked for a local school system that I’d treat you fair until you tried to screw me over.  Well, fairness is no longer on the table.  I never forget.  Don’t be surprised when I spend my free time looking to send the people involved in the below comments to Davy Jones locker (metaphorically speaking).  To understand what comes next, I suggest reading A General History of the Pyrates.  Much more “righteous outrage” can be expected:

Some of us “stupid” women were thinking ahead and copied every one of your controversial blog entries onto our computers before you had a chance to protect them. You’re going down.

You can’t insult people the way you do and then get all testy when they comment back.  I think you should be more concerened about being exposed as a righty-Beck/Rand wingnut. I’m just sayin’.

HA HA HA!  LAKOTA DOESN’T WANT YOU…HA HA HA! Its a sign that you are a nobody when groups start running away from you.

ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Who in their right mind would want to increase taxes on themselves so that confused derelicts like those seen above will be happy?  Only the type of people who adhere to progressive feminism while chastising women like Ayn Rand would think such a thing rational.  It is for that reason alone that when I get the “bust” of Ayn Rand set  up in my foyer, I will honor it every day as the most effective progressive deterrent known to mankind.

What If All Illegal Aliens Left America: Real numbers behind all the emotion

The letter below was written by Tina Griego and was passed on to me by a reader here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.   Enjoy!

What if 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America?

I, Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, “Mexican Visitor’s Lament.”  I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, “Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes. What happens to your country’s economy if 20 million people go away?” 
Hmmm, I thought, what would happen?

So I did my due diligence, buried my nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below.

It’s a good question, it deserves an honest answer. Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers I found may surprise you!

In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.

In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grandchilds would move back “home,” mostly to Mexico. That would save Colorado an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.

Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.

Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver’s 4% unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.

In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and English.

In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.

If 20 million illegal aliens returned ‘home,’ the U.S. Economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn’t be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 Billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.

No more push ‘1’ for Spanish or ‘2’ for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.

We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.

In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the ’18th Street Gang’ would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!

Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!

America’s economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn’t return to the aliens’ home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America’s economy which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt. $8.7 trillion debt !!At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.


Americans wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.

Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the ‘progressives’ on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11% of our greenhouse gases.

Over one million of Mexico’s poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York Times called, ‘colonias’ or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation.

The New York Times reported them to be America’s new ‘Third World’ inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I’ve seen them personally inTexas and Arizona; it’s sickening beyond anything you can imagine.)

By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico. We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We already invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation

                .

It’s time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.

Interesting Statistics!

Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border

12. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period and nbsp;http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/publications.php?b=deportation<http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/publications.php?b=deportation>

Greenon Schools Want More Money: Employee Debra Mauer arrested for embezzling $40,000

I provided the other day an example of the school system Springboro that finally has proper management of its financial resources and is establishing a relationship with its unionized teachers that is beginning to be beneficial to the children.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  I consider Springboro a success story that is the example that all else mentioned below should be measured against.  I also recently covered the superintendent of Franklin and how he complained with great spectacle about how rich communities like Springboro were stealing tax money from poor districts like his in Governor Kasich’s new budget.  CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.  Creep teacherThe Franklin superintendent of course had the situation backwards, which is quite common with smaller schools with less checks and balances in the media, especially those surrounding Springboro and other Dayton suburbs.  I even covered the case in Steubenville, Ohio where many in the town refused to pay justice to a rape victim because treasured members of the football team were involved.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  Even with all the bad behavior that I have pointed out in large public schools like Lakota, Mason, and Fairfield in Southern Ohio which are considered the best of the best from the teachers and staff, much of the labor from these schools have thought that it was unfair to judge them in relation to stories that only education insiders know about. To them, they are exceptional when compared to the antics from smaller schools with a much lower profiles that garner much less public attention.  The bar of justice has been set mighty low in public education so to the self-assessment of teachers who work in public education seeking to justify salaries that exceed the taxpaying public by almost double, they consider the job they are doing good if they are not abusing special needs kids  like Amanda Kitcho is accused of at Kings school system.  Teachers these days think they are doing good just because they showed up for work and run a clean classroom.  But more reporters than ever are showing courage in covering these terrible stories, some of which can be seen below in the videos that follow.  Amanda left her position as a teacher and is now a bridal consultant while a trial proceeds over the Kings scandal, but following the trend of smaller schools, the more that an investigator digs, the more crimes they typically find occurring in broad daylight in public education like cheating on test scores, abuse of students, and even embezzlement—because their small town nature keeps critics and other prying eyes from their activities.  Such an ideal example of extreme corruption and characters of low quality in public education would be the Greenon Local School District which is just to the north of Springboro.

On January 17th following a three-month sheriff’s investigation by detectives of one of the leading school levy supporters of the recent Greenon tax increase from November police converged on a home at 150 S. Harrison Street and arrested Debra Mauer confiscating computers, papers and mail before being charged with theft by embezzling $40,000 from the village and altering their financial records as Enon’s fiscal agent between 2008 and 2012.  She was also charged with tampering with evidence.  Mauer was elected to the office in November of 2003 and ran for re-election for a second term ending in March of 2012.  Mauer also served as interim fiscal agent for Mad River Township. Mauer was employed full-time at Greenon Local Schools as a High School Social Studies Unit Leader receiving a contract stipend for $609 at a June 21st 2012 meeting just prior the last levy attempt.

Greenon Local Schools placed on the ballot for November 6 2012 a combined 6 mill bond issue and 0.75 percent earned income tax for voter approval. Passage of this issue would have provided the matching funds required by the Ohio School Facilities Commission to leverage $22.5 million in state money to build two new schools and provide long-term operating dollars. The ballot issue was defeated by a vote of 3,000 “for” vs. 3,689 “against” votes. In the wake of that defeat of which Debra Mauer engaged in a rather colorful levy campaign against the only NO voter campaign in the area, who happen to have lived across the street from Mauer, superintendent Dan Bennett is seeking to place on the May ballot of 2013 another levy following the same pattern that most schools do after a levy defeat, and that is to come back with a smaller request and hope the numbers fall in their favor.  This next attempt will be a 4.95 mills levy which is a bit less than the November attempt.

While Debra Mauer’s antics as a fiscal officer in an elected position may seem bizarre and corrupt beyond measure, her employer Dan Bennett at Greenon has had a track record that is less than stellar.  Bennett moved to Greenon to take a job that superintendents understand internally as equivalent to being sent to Russia’s Siberia.  It’s his last chance at success as he was the former superintendent at Little Miami where voters turned down eight consecutive levies before Bennett had to leave the district in a fiscal emergency to take the Greenon job.  The stories left in his wake lends credibility as to how Debra Mauer in the tiny district of Greenon could have conducted her alleged crimes without detection as school employees placed their focus on passing levies and gaining more tax money rather than managing their employees properly and controlling their costs.  You can read more about Bennett at the link below.

http://www.fox19.com/story/15037949/little-miami-superintendent-leaves-district

The Debra Mauer case points to the tip of an ice berg which resides just below the surface of the small Wright Patterson Air Force community of workers with a total student population that is less than what Lakota schools will lose each year for the next 10 years in declining enrollment.  The community is small and everyone knows each other, but to show the emotional remoteness of Greenon Local Schools where most of their community is in fear of the sequestration cuts coming from Congress, the announcement of another tax increase from Bennett without any consideration to the community’s ability to pay even $12 more dollars a month in taxes, has not stopped the school’s arrogant agenda.  They, like their employee Debra Mauer do not care about those around them as can be easily affirmed by their actions.  They only want to prove that they can pass a levy which is all superintendents are really tasked with under the guidelines established by the OSBA (Ohio School Board Association.)  If a superintendent cannot pass a levy for their district, they will be passed around from job to job until they can, or be forced into early retirement.

The only people in the community of Greenon who opposed the last levy, watched the antics of Debra Mauer from across the street.  When police cars came to take away Mauer for her accused crimes after spending most of the previous fall looking at the campaign propaganda coming from the pro levy home on Harrison Street, it wasn’t much of a surprise.  After dealing with the Greenon administrators for some time and asking many questions the reality gradually fell on the founders of Vote No on Greenon School Levies that they were dealing with people whose actions belong in the back of a police car, instead of tampering with the lives of children.  Greenon School employees like Debra Mauer seemed to capitalize off voter naiveté at every turn and every opportunity for their own selfish gain.

You can visit the Vote No for Greenon Facebook page at the link below to provide them with assistance and wisdom.  They have a heck of a fight on their hands because they dared to question more of the iceberg than what everyone could see.  Unfortunately for children attending Greenon, by the time a teacher like Debra Mauer is arrested and processed by the court system, it’s often too late.  Without people like Chris Finney at Kings Local or the couple at the Facebook site below, there is no defense for the children, because school employees and the legal system in general work in favor of modern public education and have shown where their passion is, and it isn’t in children.  Their actions speak for themselves, and can be found in virtually every school district–especially ones in small towns, where the superintendents are spill over’s from larger districts.   Public schools then reflect more accurately a crime syndicate than an institution of learning that places before the children the highest priority of moral stewardship over the personal failures of teachers like Amanda Kitcho and Debra Mauer.   Like the mob, the harm that comes to those who stand in the way of the school making money off tax increases will not be tolerated, and harassment of every kind is on the table.  If one wishes to stand in their way of a new levy, then destruction of those barriers will be pursued with every measure the law and the cohorts of organized crime can muster for the perceived greater good of failed superintendents or alleged embezzlers like Debra Mauer—former advocate of Issue 21 and teacher of children in the school district of Greenon.

And to understand how law enforcement often tag teams with their labor union comrades in the teaching profession CLICK HERE for a story where the police were caught trying to defend their own wrongs even when great video of the actions were on hand.  Just because law enforcement investigates a matter in education it does not mean that justice will be done.  Someone has to watch the watchers.

The West Chester Police Beating that Cost $265,000: Trustee George Lang presents the case

On February 13th, 2013 West Chester Township decided to settle a lawsuit brought against it by Jeremy Lewis winning the victim of police brutality $265,000 of tax money because of the over zealous work by four officers who called to a bar fight as a sports bar was closing.  Because of the large settlement, West Chester Trustee George Lang wanted to provide an explanation to the portion of the community most concerned over waste in tax expenses—the West Chester Tea Party.  In the video below Lang explains in explicit detail the now famous video in slow motion and why he felt the township should settle out-of-court rather than risk showing it in a court of law.

http://www.wlwt.com/news/local-news/butler-county/West-Chester-reaches-settlement-in-beating-lawsuit/-/13601510/18529370/-/f7d2m8/-/index.html

Watching that video no matter what the official comments of the police force were, it is easy to conclude that the second officer who arrived on the scene, the one who sprayed the pepper spray in Lewis’s face, would have done much better to express more logic.  Since the video has no audio we will never know what Lewis might have said to the officer to provoke being sprayed in the face with repellant, but logic would dictate that the officer used excessive force that was not necessary.  If the training that officers are given instructs them to be such panicky primates, then the training needs to be re-evaluated quickly.

To my eyes if I were on a jury watching this video I would have to agree with the assessment of Trustee Lang—the second officer with his adrenaline pumping wanted to show his authority over Lewis in a way that would make Cartman from the cartoon on Comedy Central South Park proud.  If the officer had been comfortable with his position of authority he could have easily handled the situation differently waiting for his back-up to arrive in mass and hand cuff Lewis for an uneventful arrest.  Rather, he chose aggressive domination of Lewis behind the authority of the law for reasons that appear to exceed the situation which deserves ridicule.   It is in those actions by the police that the cost of $265,000 was levied against the West Chester tax payers.

The situation exacerbated once the other two officers arrived on the scene and through collective recourse they felt entitled to beat Lewis into submission with gang like imposition.  In spite of what the unified front from the police department stated in defense of their officers they were obviously more concerned with protecting their own than the merit of true justice.  There were officers who felt guilt over the incident and reported to Lang later the information that the police who conducted the beating were bragging about the incident at the station, much to their disgust.  In my assessment the officers who were upset by the bragging are the kind of officers I have no reservations of employing.  But the officers who conducted the beating and the administrators who wished to shove this incident under the carpet with flimsy explanations and malicious intent are those who make me feel terrible to learn that West Chester police make more money than any police force anywhere from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis, which is quite a statement.   CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WEST CHESTER POLICE MAKE.

The police union has already shown displeasure with Trustee Lang because he recently did not vote in favor of their recent contract increase.  Lang is trying to reel in costs for the police department the way he should, but that doesn’t stop administrators from using other measures to apply pressure against Lang.  As Lang spoke at the Tea Party meeting an undercurrent of fear emerged that was almost audible during the silent portion of the video viewing the first run through.  The reason came from not desiring to be on the wrong side of the law.  Politicians like Lang have a good reason to fear the same police they employee because the collective force behind law enforcement is one where it is well-known that police will look out for their own as a collective unit, and this is what makes them dangerous.  If they get caught doing something wrong—as in the case of the police beating, the police force expects the trustees to just pay the money and make the problem go away.  Internally, there was no disciplinary action, no recourse, and no punishment of any kind.  There was just a hope that the trustees would pay the money and make the problem disappear with the same audacity that the police force expects trustees to blindly approve pay increases for them without question, even when they are already the highest paid officers in this part of the country.

In my assessment of the video looking behind the shell game of blame, I see in the actions of the police force a desire to occasionally beat people like Jeremy Lewis so that the authority of police is asserted on the public so that when levy time comes, there is the gentle nudge of intimidation that puts in the minds of voters a fear that they don’t want to find themselves on the wrong side of the police.  Even as Lang spoke, it ran through my mind that he was taking a risk, because word would get out in the station house that one of the West Chester Trustees was speaking out negatively in regard to the police action.  The hot-blooded youth in the modern police force do not see the logic or cost implications behind the out-of-court settlement, they will only see that Lang is not with them right or wrong—and that makes Lang a target.  The same fear came from people directly related to the case who didn’t want their names revealed least they find themselves pulled over by the same police officers at midnight and treated the same way that Jeremy Lewis was.  The public tendency of norm including the other two trustees in West Chester has been to ignore these kinds of problems and throw money at them to go away and hope that those of authority are not angered so that the officers do not cast their revenge upon the tax paying citizen.  The fear is real and was put there by cases like the one that occurred with Jeremy Lewis over a long period of time.

In the audience at the end of the video George Lang presented, was the former assistance chief of police from Union Twp., which is what West Chester used to be called.  This man held the position as far back as when the great tornado of 1974 hit Mason causing him to work 7 consecutive days without sleep because of the massive damage done.  All cops are not bad, in fact many of them are very good people.  But…………when they function as a “collective” entity, they can be dangerous.  Many of them are only 25 to 30 years old and do not have much life wisdom about them yet, so when 4 hot-blooded males in a police uniform with the power of the badge behind them show up at a bar at 2:30 in the morning, the ability to beat an unarmed man into submission to prove their manhood and overcome internal insecurities is very tempting.  The old assistant chief of police testified before the Tea Party his experience with violence and the tendency of new officers to escalate a situation instead of exercising de-escalation procedures due to their modern training.  The training officers receive is largely approved by FOP organizations that have contained within them a desire to put political posturing in such confrontations to escalate a level of fear and respect that has aims beyond righteousness.  The aims behind the beatings is to create a level of perceived danger that ultimately hopes to influence the public when police levies come due, in direct reaction to contracts that are often approved by trustees who fear falling out of favor with their employees, the police.  In West Chester the scheme has worked, police are paid more than anywhere else in the Midwest—yet the danger on the job is less than just about anyplace else.  So there is pressure to “create” dangerous situations from time to time and a drunk fighting at a bar at 2:30 in the morning is an easy target.  Unfortunately for the young officers who participated in the beating, they didn’t think that the action would be captured on a security camera—since normally the situation would have been contained and rumor from the mouth of Jeremy Lewis would have moved through the community without the court system regulating the authenticity.

The lesson of this incident is that police should do a better job of controlling their personal fears and not let their anxiety get the better of them.  They should also not use the unfortunate position of people like Jeremy Lewis to impose their authority on the public in general with such force.  The police should also not take out their wrath on trustees who do not agree with their labor contracts, or speak out against the actions of the collective because they feel they need to explain why the bad decisions of the police force cost West Chester tax payers $265,000.  But on a larger scale, the public in general should come to understand that police should not be given absolute authority over the lives of private citizens.  The failure of the police in the Jeremy Lewis case is exactly why the new federal NDAA Act will never work, and cannot be imposed upon American citizens.  Police are only human beings, and can never be given so much power to violate the lives, liberty and pursuit of a good life of any person.  The aims of their collective organization do not supersede the rights of an individual even if that individual is a drunken malcontent shouting obscenities at authority without discretion.  The first and second officer at the scene knew they had a gun on their hip and other weapons on their bodies that could easily subdue a person of such staggered appearance.  The officers are expected to be cooler than that, and they are paid well to be the best.  They are not paid to be thugs in the streets of West Chester and to give in to boyish desires to prove their manhood.  And because they weren’t West Chester is not only out the cost of their salaries, but also a hit to our community reputation, and the cost of the court settlement—which are all excessive just because the personal valor of the officers was lacking.

Doc Thompson Gives Governor Cuomo Deserved Satire: The progressive, gun grabbing, snakes in the grass

If you haven’t heard Doc Thompson yet on The Blaze Radio Network in the mornings from 6 AM to 9 AM you are missing out.  No progressive politician is avoiding his scrupulous judgment and commentary.  This especially holds true of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who was one of the first gun banning politicians to attempt to capitalize off the misery of the Sandy Hook shooting.  For those who don’t know who the governor of the most “progressive” state in The United States is, Andrew Mark Cuomo was born December 6, 1957) is the 56th Governor of New York. He previously served as the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 1997 to 2001, and as the Attorney General of New York from 2007 to 2010. He is a member of the Democratic Party, and the son of Mario Cuomo, the 52nd Governor of New York.  In the video below, Doc has some fun at the Governor’s expense—which is quite well deserved.

It is absolutely appalling how progressives hide like snakes in the grass and strike quickly when an opportunity presents itself on the backs of death and carnage.  Progressives like Cuomo wish for continuous expansion of government at the expense of freedom and they will stoop to no low too great to gain advancement of progressive politics.  Cuomo disgustingly used the shooting deaths at Sandy Hook Elementary to call out for the removal of guns from society working against The Bill of Rights in the American Constitution.  The gun ban in New York has nothing to do with preventative measures protecting children and everything to do with a long-term global plan to disarm every household in the entire world so that all those residences would be dependent on government to protect them.

Progressives are like abusive husbands who are so insecure about their manhood that they won’t let their wives leave their homes for fear that their spouses will find a better man at the grocery, the lingerie store, or even the gas station.  Progressives know that their ideas run against the natural tendency of the human being to pursue freedom so they can only gain compliance into their faulty philosophy by taking away the keys to the car, and making their spouses so dependent on them that it is fear that keeps them coming back to bed night after night, not loyalty or love.

Progressives want gun control for the same reason; they cannot allow private citizens to defend themselves from an imposing government.  Progressives require fear in order for anybody to buy into their form of leadership. Government schools use fear to pass school levies and increase taxes on private property.  Federal government uses race inequality fear to advance civil rights debates while the other hand racks up tremendous debt following the 45 Points of communism that reside behind the Democratic Party.  CLICK HERE TO SEE THIS LIST AND CONFIRM THE TRUTH.  And politicians like Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bloomberg in New York City seek gun control to keep citizens from being able to stick up for themselves against a reckless debt ridden government who requires 100% of society to participate in their massive scam against life itself.  Those politicians use fear to disarm the public in the same way that a robber tells their victims, “put your hands where we can see them, drop your weapons, and do what we say—and you can live.  Now—hand over your money.”

When Doc Thompson calls these politicians out the way he does, he does society a great service in pointing out the wrongs that progressives are attempting to conduct in a mass scale in a never-ending expansion of government driven by fear espoused by collectivist based personalities like Andrew Cuomo.  Gun control is just a way to disarm the public so that they cannot defend themselves in the future from the dictator tendencies of progressives.  It should not be forgotten that Mayor Bloomberg, Cuomo’s contemporary has put restrictions on soft drinks and other needless regulations that paints a clear picture of the kind of people progressives are.  They stand against freedom in every way such definitions can be termed, and they are a menace to the very lives of anybody who desires self-responsibility.

Progressives use fear to advance their agenda of control and manipulation over others.  They are like the jealous husband with a poor-self image of themselves—they are always afraid that the public will see something better and flee their control at the first sign, so the progressive seeks to take away all options so that society has no place else to turn.  When a man hides the car keys from his wife so that she doesn’t sneak out the back door with a fresh pair of panties looking for a lover who embraces her freedom, and doesn’t attempt to suppress it, the husband has caused the problem in the first place by injecting into the marriage mistrust that makes lovemaking in the bedroom impossible.  The progressive knows that their ideas are flawed, but like the husband they want to take away guns, soft drinks, and all social options so that society will stay loyal to them because no other options exist.  The actions of the progressive are abusive because it denies society of freedom the same as the jealous husband is bad for the confined wife who seeks a silent rebellion out of marital infidelity.  The tighter progressives squeeze society through restriction, the more society will want to buy guns, drink HUGE soft drinks, and rebel against that same well-intended government.  The husband rationalizes that he just wants to keep his marriage together by taking away all the options his wife has, and keeping her in the bedroom—his bedroom, is good for the marriage. But the husband is the cause of the wife wishing to flee because he does not have the self-esteem to be the better option. The progressives like Andrew Cuomo fear the same and cause the same but on a much bigger scale.  Just look at gun sales lately.  And when they impose their insecurities on society, they deserve to be made fun of by personalities like Doc Thompson who is simply pointing out the ludicrous nature of progressives and their massive cost to society not only fiscally, but emotionally.

“So God Made a Liberal”: Why Hollywood leans so far to the policital left

Paul Harvey’s old monologue title, “So God Made a Farmer” brought back to life through a Superbowl advertisement for Dodge Ram pick-up trucks had over 10 million hits on YouTube in less than 5 days, which is quite good.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW the ad and my comments about it.  For a newer generation, it may well have been their first exposure to Paul Harvey, who for many years prior to the 1990’s was a respected figurehead on radio broadcasts all across the country.  Harvey represented the kind of America that I understand in the Midwest, the kind of America that has produced such Hollywood stars like Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Clark Gable, Annie Oakley, Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, Charlie Sheen, and many, many others.  Unfortunately, due to a take over of left leaning ideas Hollywood has forced all those Midwestern stars to suppress their conservative upbringings and embrace liberal causes, which many of them being actors find they can do easily.  CLICK HERE TO SEE WALT DISNEY’S WARNING in 1957 of liberalism in Hollywood.   Once liberals took over the Hollywood studio system which permeates every aspect of the entertainment culture from Las Vegas to Wilshire Blvd, anyone who wanted to be successful in Hollywood, had to learn to sell the benefits of liberalism to the rest of America.  This is why so many stars come out of the Midwest, because they went to Hollywood with a strong work ethic that they learned from Paul Harvey’s America, but they also had to adapt to the liberal views of the coastal states like New York and California who are committed to the causes of secular progressivism.  This mixed up relationship has given rise through Hollywood, commercials, and all forms of entertainment especially in music an off balanced commitment to liberalism.  Hollywood has created the modern liberal heard in the spoof below to Paul Harvey’s broadcast below, titled “So God Made a Liberal.”  Their reasons are rather sadistic and dangerous to all involved bleeding heart and conservative alike and filled with unintended consequences.

Just yesterday I received a very nice email from a person who has just finished my novel Tail of the Dragon saying that they couldn’t wait till it was made into a movie. I wrote back telling them thank you, but not to hold their breath because Hollywood right now would find that book reprehensible to their political beliefs because there is nothing in it that endorses liberalism.  I went on to say that only if filmmakers like Hal Needham, and Albert Ruddy were still allowed to make films in Hollywood would anything like Tail of the Dragon have a chance of being put to film.  The reason is that unlike the above stars who all came from the Cincinnati, Ohio area and ooze Midwestern charm on the silver screen which a majority of America can relate with, when offered a seat at the table in Hollywood a time or two myself well before I started the OW, my conservative viewpoints terrified the very souls of the liberals who control the industry.  I remember vividly a lunch meeting I had with two Hollywood producers at the Katsuya at Americana at the Brand, one of those meetings where they try to figure out if they can work with you politically.  I disqualified myself in about 7 minutes because I intentionally missed all the code words that I was supposed to adhere to regarding the acceptance of liberalism.  By the way, if you’re ever in Los Angeles and looking for a cool place to dine, I highly recommend Katsuya.  Check the link below for more.  It is my hope that the Liberty Way development in Liberty Twp is similar to this very good shopping complex that is just down the road in the same district where many of the television show exterior shots are conducted every day of every year.

http://www.americanaatbrand.com/glendale/dining/dining.php

I found that meeting bizarre.  I was being looked at because of my Midwestern upbringing, but at the same time I was expected to reject that upbringing to the greater cause of “collectivism, and secular progressive” commitment in the all-encompassing umbrella of liberalism.  I would not doubt that many of the actors above would have privately expressed views that reflect their Midwestern conservative upbringing, but in Hollywood, those views are expected to be shelved if that star expects to stay employed.  It all starts with a lunch meeting like the one at Katsuya but after 10 years of such political compromise, and many millions of dollars later, those same actors find themselves wearing t-shirts of Che in public because their groups of filmmaking friends think its funny—and cool.  I didn’t come close to passing the test and was politely driven back to the airport with smiles and handshakes by shoulders that became colder with each mile that LAX grew closer on the odometer.

I am not willing to trade my beliefs for millions of dollars, so it is unlikely that Tail of the Dragon will ever be made into a movie within the next 20 years, because of the Walt Disney warning.  So it should come as no surprise if I reveal here what I have revealed in private to very liberal-minded people in wonderful restaurants like Katsuya over some of the best sushi in The United States—that liberals are some of the most disgusting creatures ever to find the rays of sunlight shining upon their skin.  I have never cared for liberals even though they have a right to exist, as not all people must think alike.  But the trouble with liberals is that they require my money to live.  I on the other hand don’t require anything from liberals.  I don’t want their money, their services, their government, their collectivism—I want nothing from them.  I don’t even want the military that is offered by the Federal government.  For me, the Second Amendment and the other Bill of Rights is all I really want out of government.

Liberals have not been shy, especially in Hollywood of making fun of conservatives—like me—so it is only fair that they get it back in return, especially since conservatives pay for their existence with tax dollars.  Liberals in relation to the kind of people I know in the Midwest—in Paul Harvey’s America, are destructive enterprises of faulty minds.  They are parasites to everything that is good.  They represent virtually everything that is wrong with modern America and the spoof titled “So God Made a Liberal” is sadly all too accurate.  They are embarrassments to the human condition and destructive to every life they come in contact with.  It is amazing that these very same vermin lecture conservative America on righteousness, and justice.  Only such despicable human beings could claim that the same Republican Party that put an end to slavery is against Civil Rights.  Only a pathetic disregard for facts could ever give a liberal moral authority over the conservative and paint the later as evil, when it is actually the former.

Liberals are such terrible creatures that I would not even pretend to be one for all the money in the world—because such a world would lose all value and money would no longer mean anything.  After all, that is what the liberal does; it robs life of all value so that no thing or no person can be judged against those values.  This is why people become liberal, is because they fear judgment against values—because they assume they will come up short on that judgment.  So to protect themselves and their careers, it is safer to pick professions where the bosses also fear judgment—like what the film industry has become under the microscope of thousands of entertainment publications and critics in every newspaper.  Liberalism centered on no judgment is appealing to the weak and malicious because their acts of destruction can proceed without risk to their personal integrity, because integrity has been minimized by the concept of liberalism.

If God made a liberal on the 9th day as the video above suggests, he did it to bring Armageddon to the Earth and to create the End of Days.  A liberal does not bring productivity to a business or justice to the wronged—a liberal only creates chaos, menace, and terror by way of social values stripped away until they mean nothing.  As funny as the video might be in a metaphorical way, I cannot say that the humor is excessive by way of exaggeration, but funny because it’s true.  If Paul Harvey’s monologue expressed the values of the Midwest from years ago, this new rendition called “So God Made a Liberal” expresses the sad hopes of a couple of Hollywood producers in Katsuya who were more concerned about recruiting people to work with who shared their views of no value than a conservative voice that middle America is hungry to hear.  Or people raised in those sacred lands who quickly reject their values in trade for work like a common prostitute will declare their love for anyone who pays them the proper sum for their love-making.  The liberal is a degenerate species of human kind that produces only destruction and malice.  Liberals are good for only undoing the creations of the conservative, the representation of good, of justice, and of honor.

For me, I’ll stick with Paul Harvey and his vision of conservative America, because it is only there that growth for the human race can take place.  There is no dollar amount that could sway my opinion on the matter.  As I told the letter writer honoring my latest novel, yes, I think Tail of the Dragon would make a cool movie, but it’s unlikely for that to ever happen.   It’s not because the story is wrong for the silver screen, but rather because it does not fit within the confines of liberalism—which is quite intentional.  The story is about values and fighting to protect those values, and there is no writer in Hollywood who could remove that core tenet from the context without destroying what the novel is about.  Liberalism will stop at no limit to destroy a threat to its existence, and in the case of conservatives, it is more important to destroy or convert conservatives away from their Midwest roots so that liberals can monopolize bad behavior to the extent that they can then call them good—and people will finally believe it.  Liberals seek to turn conservatives into their kind with the same kind of domination that a pot-head drug user intends when they purchase a killer snake to display in their living rooms.  The pot-head wishes to show the world that they are in control of such a killer as they scoop up the big snake and put it in a glass display to be confined there so long as the pot-head feeds the snake rats and mice enough to stay fat, dumb, and happy.  So too has Hollywood done to the stars of the Midwest, fed them plenty till those free-thinking humans ate from liberal hands and proved to the world that the liberal can control the majesty of the conservative with the promise of easy food, and some damn good sushi at Katsuya.

Watch closely, and very carefully…………………………………………………………….God made a liberal so that people like the guy below wouldn’t have to feel guilty about all the bad decisions they made in their life…………………as a direct result of…………………….liberalism.  Which came first–the chicken or the egg………………the loser or the liberal?

The Great Star Wars Director Dave Filoni: Thoughts about Clone Wars Season Five and beyond

One of the only television shows that my wife and I watch on a regular basis is Star Wars: Clone Wars that broadcasts each Saturday morning on the Cartoon Network.  For science fiction based cartoons, I find them deeply entertaining, and exceptionally dramatic.  They are also quite intelligent, and gorgeous to look at as separate pieces of art.  I enjoy the sights, sounds and morality displayed within the Star Wars universe, particularly The Clone Wars animated series.  I love them all, but recently after a particularly powerful episode in the middle of Season 5 director Dave Filoni proved that he’s not afraid to display his skills and episode leadership into an epic direction that I don’t think has ever been done for a show directed at children.  They didn’t make cartoons like this when I was a kid, that’s for sure.  After the February 2, 2013 episode arrived at 9:30 AM, which I displayed the press release sent from Lucasfilm, (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW) Dave and the cast and crew had a Google Hangout meeting where fans of the show could chime in and learn more about what is in store for the rest of Season 5 and Star Wars in general.  You can see that hour long meeting in full at the video below.


The episode they spent so much time talking about in the Google Meeting is called The Lawless.  It was quite spectacular.  It’s hard to believe that Dave and his crew was able to cover such a large expanse of story in just over 20 minutes, but the results are exceptional by any standard of cinema endeavor.  I hope Star Wars: Clone Wars sticks around for a while, because after 5 years of broadcasting, they are every bit as good if not better than when they first aired in the late summer of 2008 with the feature film of the same name.  Dave Filoni is a wonderful Star Wars director that in the context of history will give J.J. Abrams a run for his money in the magic and lore that has become the Star Wars Mythology.  I am looking forward to many more future episodes so I can watch them with my grandson and introduce him to such a vast wilderness of ideas that is Star Wars in a morality play that is unequaled in the history of the world.

The Financial Health of America: How to adapt to the coming crises

This is the day of the Superbowl and as I watched the festivities of the day and thought about the countless parties going on all over America I had some thoughts about economics in The United States that I wanted to share.  I have covered so many radio broadcasts here at the OW over the years that I have moved on to new ways of communicating just to avoid redundancy.  For instance, when Darryl Parks covered two years ago the coming financial crises in America, he was talking about the time we are currently in.  CLICK HERE to revisit that broadcast and compare that broadcast to this new one done on 700 WLW during the first day of February 2013.  A lot of ground has been covered between the Darryl Parks broadcast of a couple of years ago and this recent one, but the scope of the problem is very accurately displayed for even economically naive listeners to understand.  Have a listen:

This financial crisis is the paramount topic of our day.  The state of our economy is changing rapidly and soon many of those who thought that finance in America was an impregnable fortress will soon learn what epic failure and a commitment to socialism has done to us all.  With student debt collapsing our economy as we speak, the old idea of retiring at 65 years old off a nice pension and other government driven revenue is gone forever.  Instead Americans in their mid-40’s on down will have to face a new reality for financing their lives and the luxury of one income to handle all their affairs just won’t do.

In my own life I have begun writing books to help fuel my own later years with additional sources of personal income, because the old traditional model will become obsolete in the coming years.  With the collapse of the American economy so to will the idea of working one job for eight hours every day go away.  In the future it may take 3 or 4 jobs requiring 10 to 30 hours each week to commit to, and that is the result of the massive plundering that has went on in our nation’s government.

College will not help fix this problem; it has only made it worse, because our education system has saturated the marketplace with too many employees trained in skills that do not have revenue generating potential.  The best jobs for college graduates are government jobs, because the private sector has not been able to sustain government intrusion and preserve profitability while maintaining the financial promises of a university degree.  Unions also won’t help, because like colleges, they have improperly skewed the profitability of their enterprises with redistributive wealth reforms that have had the opposite effect of their intentions.  Just a quick glance at the economic viability of Detroit, and the state of California provides all the proof one needs to predict the future of economies driven by these forces.

What this means is that a massive exodus of tax contributions is about to hit The United States government and they are not prepared to deal with that grim reality peacefully.  I recently spoke about the cost of high taxes pushing people out of their homes.  An empty home does not contribute taxes to a school district, or a police department, or those beloved firefighters embedded into our minds as heroes from the Fisher Price toys we played with as children.  When citizens can no longer make money off their jobs or own property, there is nothing for government to tax—there is no way to steal the money away from the citizens—and the government will go bankrupt once people lose the will to participate.  That will is quickly disappearing.

A failure to address these issues back when Darryl Parks first did his broadcast with Porter Standsberry has caused this current crisis to impact the lives of millions of families, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.  I put this recent broadcast up today so that a trend can be seen by the intelligent reader/viewer.  These broadcasts are more than doomsday entertainment, they are more than skeptical speculation; they are quite real in their announcements of economic disaster.  I believe that the downward economic trend is unavoidable and those who will survive are those who adjust their lives to these changing conditions.  The keys to this new survival are to keep student debt down.  Keep credit card debt low to non-existent.  And do many things for a living—not just one specialized thing.  Avoid high looting taxes because with every tax dollar you throw away to government, you will have to work a part-time job or two here and there to cover the cost of those taxes.  Keep it simple and stay out-of-the-way, because things will get ugly before they get better.  And most importantly, think like a “producer” not a “consumer.”  Conditions will get ugly because too many people are in denial of the present state of affairs, and refuse to acknowledge the true economic status of The United States.  Take broadcasts like the one done on 700 WLW and cherish the information, because failure to act will lead your family down a dark path that will most likely end very poorly for all involved.

Enjoy the Superbowl.  Hope your team won.  Depending on how you answer that will determine your ability to avoid trouble in the coming days.
