The American Housewife: Backbone of our nation and families everywhere

For those who bought a copy of my new book Tail of the Dragon during the fourth quarter of 2012, you helped bring a small bit of joy to my family this past Christmas, and for that I thank you.  While I finished the novel I avoided the fun stuff I typically enjoy like playing Xbox and computer games because I had a schedule to meet.  Once the book came out in September and I did a little media for it, I felt I could take the time to enjoy life a little bit before getting too serious about the next one—which is in outline form now.  My wife had wanted to play an MMO with me called The Old Republic but it required us to purchase two high-end computers instead of having just one, so we could play at the same time.  The other computer we have is dedicated to my business ventures and the work that goes into this blog site daily, so my wife hadn’t been getting much computer time after her other computer had a terminal malfunction some time ago.  To play that new game I would have to buy two desktop PC’s, as tablets or lap tops wouldn’t be powerful enough in this particular case.  We would need personal computers that could run on the high-end and that would be costly.  There always seemed to be more important things to spend a few thousand dollars on, so the computers were put on the very back burner. I didn’t even want to think about something fun until the book was out, and we put a new roof on our home before winter hit, so she waited patiently.  She felt bad wanting to spend so much money just to play a video game, so she didn’t push it—but after the fourth quarter sales closed, I secretly put aside a little bit of money and bought us both two new super computers for Christmas which my kids and I surprised her with on Christmas Day.  Click the video below to see her reaction.

Much of the time it is my wife who does all the nice things for the family, so she is seldom surprised by anybody doing something nice for her.  But this year was different.  We’ve always been a traditional family where she maintained the home and I maintained work relationships, so we didn’t have the modern benefit of a dual income household to just throw money at our whims.  That benefit is something that we have both vehemently rejected out of dedication to providing for our children, and now grandchildren a constant loving female presence in their lives which far outweighs any monetary value.

I have been called a sexist my entire life because of my almost Amish-like adherence to traditional family values.  My wife has been called far worse because she has so obviously rejected the feminist movement of independence from men.  In our marriage which is coming up on a quarter century now, our household runs like many did in America during 1920 through 1950.  I treat her respectfully, she participates in politics equally, and she controls all our family income.  She cooks, cleans–is the family psychologist, maintains all the relationships with the extended family—her job is a difficult, thankless one. There is no prestige for the American woman who dedicates herself as a housewife and in my mind there is no job more important in the entire world.  My wife didn’t have a career, when our children needed to be homeschooled.  When my kids were little, my wife was a room mother at their school, and the teachers turned against her when during the fourth grade consensus emerged that all the little girls of that age needed to learn how to put a condom on a fake penis as part of sex education.  We of course declined to sign the permission form and the teachers retaliated.  Soon the administrators learned through the teacher’s lounge that my wife was “one of those women,” one of those “trouble makers,” so they made it difficult for her to even pick my kids up from school, because my kids did not ride the school bus.  (Yes, my kids were too good to ride the school bus with the other kids.  My wife drove them to and from school every single day of their schooling lives.)   My wife had resisted a progressive platform so the school circled the wagons to push her out.  We responded by pulling our kids out of the school.  We were able to pull the trigger when it was needed due to political pressure in the school district of Mason many years ago because my wife did not have a career—a commitment to a business interest outside of our family home.  If I had a quarter for all the times family and friends told us that we were wrong in our approach to raising our children, we’d be millionaires rolling in rooms full of those quarters.  Much of that advice we were given by well-intentioned people had its source with daytime television and talk shows like Opera who we now know was intensely committed to the spread of progressive ideas.  Their advice was wrong even though the masses seemed all to agree on those feminist statements.   It has never been easy because the rest of society was going in a noticeably different direction and we were openly rebelling against the progressive political attack against American tradition.  For a woman to stay home and care for her family in a traditional manner from 1990 to 2010 seemed to be the vilest insult against progressivism, judging by the insults that came in our direction.  So the older we have grown, the more flagrant we have flaunted our position, especially once we learned the source of the advice.

As discussed at this site in great detail modern progressivism is all about destroying the American version of family, so it should come as no surprise that children share authority between their government schools and their parents which leads to much of the misguided rebellion many young people cast against their parents.  It is also no surprise that divorce rates are so high because both spouses are dedicated to goals outside the family unit, and women have been told they must be equal to men in the workplace.  The progressive strategy has been to remove the heart of the family—women and demean them into pursuing male-like career goals—which are empty social acceptance roles that offer very little real substance.  The goal of this aimless existence is to put the faith Americans used to commit to individual family strength and instead invest into it faith towards government.  In my traditional view, American women are the government; they are the only government that matters.  They rule America’s households and in our family, nothing happens without the approval of my wife.  She even has legislative power over every oil change I conduct on our various vehicles.  I don’t buy anything without her approval, which is how it should be.

On the other side of the coin, for over 20 years now I have had to strive to make enough family income to compensate for two college educated adults because that’s what it costs to get through modern life.  Most of the time I pull off that task with extra revenue generating activity like writing books, designing t-shirts, or other types of creative enterprise.  In my younger days I worked various part-time jobs to pay the bills and sometimes rode a bicycle everywhere as we went for years with only one car that my wife needed to use for driving the kids to school.  At one point I rode 12 miles one way to work every day for over 1 year on a first shift job and worked a second job on the way home that helped divide up the return mileage to something less exhausting.  I’d peddle the remaining 6 miles home in the rain, snow, and extreme heat at around midnight and would start the whole thing again at 5 AM the next day.  I never missed work, or got sick, because I couldn’t afford to.  Sometimes the money has been easy, sometimes it was very hard, but always we have managed to keep my wife as the hub of the family and there is no government that supersedes her.  I have always put my wife on a pedestal because that is where women deserve to be.  They are not equal to men, they are bigger, better, and sweeter—and deserve to be cared for with love and understanding.

This brings us back to Christmas, for the first time in our lives, my wife wanted a vacation with me that involved actual time spent together—not on a tour bus through Europe, or on a Gondola in Venice being pushed around the canals by a heavily fragranced Italian man who looks like he’d rather be making meat balls. She wanted me to spend “time” with her—not writing books, not working on politics, not practicing bullwhips, or even back-woods hiking.  She wanted to spend time with me, and since she loves Star Wars, there was no better way to spend that time than with an MMO dedicated to Star Wars that requires thousands of hours of partnership.  But in order to play an MMO with another person, two computers are needed, and that cost is typically prohibitive for such a luxury item.

The gift was more symbolic than fiscal because it was a commitment to time spent rather than a dollar value—although to arrive at that moment it did require a significant financial investment.  The computers had to be powerful because we know family members who have tried to play The Old Republic on a single core processor and fried their video cards from the excessive heat generated, even with the graphics turned all the way down.  Because we both love Star Wars we wanted to play the game with full graphics resolution—(which are fabulous by the way), and we still wanted computing power to spare.  So my son-in-law and I overdid all the specs and built the computers seen in the video above.  My wife didn’t think it was possible because a few months earlier we had spoken to a Best Buy consultant about the amount of money it would take to buy computers that would play the game the way we wanted to play it, and his response was frustrating.  He gave us a cost of nearly $4000 for two computers.  Frustrated because we still needed a new roof, a dishwasher, and a number of other important daily items, we put it on the very back burner to revisit a few years down the road.

Over this past weekend my wife pointed out to me that we have now played The Old Republic for 20 straight days and we are only just getting started.  Our average playing time is 5 to 8 hours per session.  Saturday we played the game for 18 hours straight—no interruptions.  My kids are all playing the game and my son-in-law who built those computers built one just like them for my one of my daughters while he beefed up his to match the specs.  We have all played together and we have been playing with extended family members from out-of-state and it is everything that we hoped it would be.  When my wife saw that she had unlimited computing power it wasn’t because of the pretty lights or status of having a new expensive gift.  It was in being able to spend time with the people she loves in a game environment that she adores.  The computers are simply a means to get there, and in this case, the powerful machines are designed to operate without limitations that prohibit such an experience.

The first thing that people reading this will ask is how can we afford to spend so much time playing a game?  Well, in her case, she has the time because she is not in service to any institution outside our family.  In my case, I have worked hard to get out ahead enough to buy myself the time to play the game by releasing a new book that is out making money and freeing up my personal time, so in that way, I have afforded myself the ability to give my wife more of my time which is all she really wanted for Christmas.  The look on her face is as authentic as it gets and I offer the rare look behind the curtain of my family so that others can see the reality behind the rhetoric that often surrounds me.

Many of my readers and friends here have wanted to see pictures of my new grandson, and they are curious as to what daily life is like within my family.  We are a close family because my wife has dedicated her life to making it so, and she deserves a lot of credit for that.  It can be seen clearly in videos like the one shown above.   The tickets she received at the beginning of the clip were symbolic of the kind of vacation that we have been experiencing for the last 20 days.    It took her a long time to put all the elements together to figure out what was happening, but once she did, she was extremely happy, which earned for me the worth of the whole enterprise.  She has taken a lot of flack for being a full-time housewife over the years, and she has patiently put up with most of the slander that has been thrown her way which sometimes gets compounded when money is tight.  We know that most families cannot do as we have done, because these days so many women are embedded in the economy that if they all pulled out to become full-time mothers our national unemployment rate would jump up to 30 to 40% instantly.  Many women also would be lost as to their roles as central family beacons, because there is a lot of responsibility in that job, and they have been taught not to take that responsibility.  When things go bad, there is nobody but one person to point at and blame.  If a child goes bad, the mother often will blame herself, and many women hide from this responsibility behind their careers, and that will not change over night.    But most women deep down inside know that no matter how much money they earn, it cannot replace the impact of their love and attention for their families.  Kids who have such busy mothers are easy to spot in a crowd, and these days most of our society is functioning from a hunger for their mother’s attention that they never received as children.  The public schools are not adequate replacements, and mothers who make such decisions of putting career in front of motherhood are fools.

Progressives have attempted to change human behavior and they have failed.  Anyone who defends those failures is an idiot, and I know a lot of them.  Some people are so far into building their lives around that idioticrity that they will lash out at people like me by calling me a sexist, and calling my clothing “wife beater” attire as they did in my video A Whip Trick to Save America where I wore an Under Armor muscle shirt that was labeled by my feminist political critics in such a fashion.  Those people are wrong, and have built their entire lives around being wrong.  Many of the names progressive women have called my sweet wife over the years, and myself really reflect their personal feelings of guilt.  I know it, she knows it, and they know it.  My kids have witnessed it, everyone knows what the motives are behind the actions, and after all of that I continue to believe more and more, that a child needs a mother to be ever-present, and a family needs a string of such women to be strong otherwise failure is assured and the family structure will break down in the absence of such personalities.

The sacrifice to have a strong family by allowing the women of that family to serve no entity but their families is that money is harder to come by.  But it’s worth it for those few times when enough money is made that quality time with loved ones becomes possible.  In the case of the Christmas computer gifts it is not the machinery or hardware, it’s the time that playing the game will giver her with me, her children, her nieces and nephews, sisters and even parents that are scattered all over the Earth.  The gift she received was time with the people she cares about, and that is the a gift that extends beyond conventional value, and is the reason for her delight on that memorable Christmas morning that had been a long time and coming—which she waited patiently to see.

Doc Thompson on The Blaze Radio Network: What’s better than a pile of gold?

I first met Doc Thompson at a School Choice event in Mason, Ohio.  CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.  Doc and I had done a number of interviews on the powerful 700 WLW radio station in Cincinnati that was having a major impact on the direction of not just education funding in the state of Ohio, but also the nature of education itself, so it was good to finally meet him in person.  Unlike most who sit behind a radio station microphone with a fake name and the many caricatures of oneself invented for the airwaves, Doc is surprisingly just as passionate about issues off-the-air as he is on.  This is how he came to meet me at the School Choice event, and we have stayed in touch ever since.  We would cross paths again at the Glendale Tea Party where Doc was the keynote speaker as trains stormed by during a particularly patriotic afternoon gathering.  We worked hard to bring Atlas Shrugged Part One to the Newport on the Levee movie theater, and we helped make waves with a carbon party at a local Cincinnati vineyard consuming as many carbons possible with fuel exhumed by the Sons of Liberty motorcycle club and a lot of outdoor grilling.  We also defeated a number of local school levies which generated extensive anxiety among the local labor unions and created discussions that had never occurred before in the world of politics because Doc had a microphone and would often call on me to expose many of the education facts that get shoved under the rug.  (CLICK HERE TO SEEM HIM SPEAK AT THAT GLENDALE EVENT). 

(CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VINYARD SPEECH)

One of the darkest days in my recent memory was when all the push back from this activity came to pass.  The unions organized a kind of community boycott against me, Judge Napolitano had his show Freedom Watch canceled on the Fox Business Channel–allegedly because of his constant support of Ron Paul for President—and Doc Thompson was fired from WLW Radio while on a honeymoon with his wife Yuna.  All this news came within about 5 days of each other and I had the impression that there was an all out assault on the kind of reforms I was fighting for, so I bunkered down which led to my famous latté sipping prostitute comments that made so much news around Cincinnati.  I didn’t care if it made people angry or even hurt their feelings.  It was time to change tactics because my friend was being forced to leave his job and I felt responsible for it.  Scott Sloan at WLW tried to assure me that I didn’t cause Doc to lose his job at that particular Clear Channel station but I had been around the block enough to know that politics behind the scenes had worked against Thompson and it was because he was a good guy not just behind the microphone—but in real life—that contributed to his termination.  I felt responsible because I helped fuel that trait with this blog site, (many of those interviews can be found here with an easy Google search).  Too many times over the years I have seen “good guys” punished in some form or another for being too good—for NOT running around on their wives, for NOT drinking enough at company parties, for NOT having a series of personal failures such as gambling addictions, eating disorders, or being chain smokers.  The people who run the world—at least those who have up to this point—like to cozy up with people who exhibit personal failure, because it makes them feel less guilty about their own wrecked lives.  Doc, it was clear to me, was a good person trying to fit in with a group who thought he was way too clean behind the ears, and it cost him his job, at least that’s my take on the whole ordeal.

After Doc left, I knew my relationship with WLW would change.  I did a couple of appearances with Marc Amazon, Darryl Parks, and then one very memorable one with Scott Sloan, but during all of them I felt I was betraying Doc Thompson, so I had to cleanse myself of that notion—which is why I said the things I did about all the characters involved.  It wasn’t just the gigantic assed despots who support school levies in my community, but their weak-kneed husbands who throw stones at people like Doc Thompson—because he’s too “good.”  “Goodness” should be rewarded, not punished, and here was Doc Thompson, squeaky clean socially, subbing part-time for the Glenn Beck Radio Show, winner of several Marconi Awards, and marrying a beautiful television news anchor while fighting for what’s good in American politics.  He was doing everything right, yet he found himself on the outside looking in, and it made me furious.  When Russ Jackson called me after my Enquirer comments (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW) and wanted me to come on the Eddie and Tracy Show, I declined not because I didn’t want to argue on the air the merit of my controversial public statements, but some of those comments were directed at the people behind the termination of Doc Thompson, and I didn’t want to pour more fuel on the fire, while on the air.  The guilty parties know who they are, they put me on email block right after the phone call.   Not because I threatened anybody or said anything disrespectful, but because the guilty parties knew I knew what was going on.  (Only a few did this, most were innocent.)  

Logic told me that I had a book called Tail of the Dragon coming out—that I should play it safe and keep my mouth shut—like everyone else, because it would be good for me, my sales and my writing endeavors in the future.  But tactically, experience told me that a line in the sand needed to be drawn—so I said what I did to respond to all the issues occurring at the same time and for the good, the bad, and the ugly it was time to slug it out and not tap dance through the issues.  I sided with Doc Thompson even if it meant that he would be a street vender selling hot dogs at baseball games and would never get a broadcasting opportunity again.  When I meet good people, I do not betray them for any measure of personal advancement—politically, fiscally, or amorously.  I never have, and I never will even if it costs me a great deal up front.  Good people are so rare, that they are much more valuable than all the riches of the world when you meet them, and Doc is one of those people.

Doc went on to Detroit to work for a CBS station and he had success, only not long after hiring him producers announced they planned to convert their talk station into a sports network with an ESPN type spin on their broadcasting, so again, at the start of 2013, Doc appeared to be out of a job.  That is until Doc Thompson’s friend Glenn Beck offered him a chance of a lifetime with The Blaze Radio Network hosting a morning show nationally from 6 AM till 9 AM right before Glenn’s famous radio show that has a footprint of over 10 million listeners.  This means that Doc will be heard all over the nation on iHeart Radio with a Blaze Channel that is setting the broadcasting standard for the future.  Doc Thompson finally gets the opportunity to be the good person that he is under the business umbrella of Glenn Beck who is equally committed to being a “good man,” in all phases of being human.

The news for me that Doc was not just doing another syndication deal like so many other radio shock jocks currently do all over the nation, is extremely exciting.  There are plenty of Sean Hannitys, and Howard Sterns these days, and the world doesn’t really need one more.  They are part of the established order as it has been, not as it will be—and so far, Glenn Beck is a media personality who is shaping the world of tomorrow with the kind of ambition that eluded Nikola Tesla’s great fight with Thomas Edison.  The difference between Edison’s version of electric power and Tesla’s was not one of superiority, it was because J.P. Morgan backed Edison and wanted to control electricity—so Tesla was bought out forcefully and Edison prevailed shaping the way electricity is generated and delivered to this very day.  In the case of Glenn Beck, the situation is reversed.  The money is behind the better man and it has allowed people like Beck to hire good people like Doc Thompson to become the new standard in radio broadcasting.

Walter Cronkite made his name as a newsman because he was there when the television was invented.  Bill O’Reilly became the dominate newsman when cable overtook broadcast television years later as a reliable news source.  Both men were there at the start of major technical revolutions and were able to use their skills specific to those innovations to usher in a new age.  Doc Thompson will become that new standard that has not yet been heard on any broadcast, because another technological revolution is emerging around internet distributorship percolating outside of FCC regulation, and this will ironically allow good people like Doc Thompson to dominate that new age.  This time Doc will not be fired for being a good person, for not making enough “fart” jokes on the air, or spending airtime talking about the voluptuous attributes of women.   Doc will succeed because his new boss is Glenn Beck—a man who honors the honorable, and is committed to a goodness that has left Americans vacant.  Doc Thompson will become the new standard in broadcasting in 2013 and it all starts on January 21st on The Blaze Radio Network every morning with an emerging media empire driven by Beck that is committed to not just making money—which it is–but in the manufacture of “goodness” which ironically is a new concept in our media driven culture.  That is why Doc Thompson is one of the few types of personalities who could fill that growing demand.  Being a “good guy” is not something that can be faked when it’s required to come from a person 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  In the old days, newsmen and actors could “pretend” to be good people while they were on the set, or conducting an interview.  These days, with the growth of the internet and instant access to information at all times of the day, a radio personality like Doc Thompson must go beyond the traditional broadcasting criteria—the broadcaster must actually be “good” otherwise people won’t listen, because they have been burnt before with deception, and they won’t invest their time in a puppet show as they did in the early days of media.  In this new age, Doc Thompson is the whole package, and the world is about to learn what I already know, that The Blaze Radio Network just secured their future in history with the announcement that Doc Thompson will be their new morning man who will send all the competition reeling.  Being “good” can’t be faked, it has to be sincere, and Doc Thompson is as sincere of a person as I have ever met in journalism, entertainment, or as an activist.  If a pile of gold and friendship with Doc Thompson were set before me, I would pick Thompson, because that friendship is worth more than the gold.  This is why The Blaze Radio Network will explode as the next generation in broadcasting, and I am very happy to see it happen.  It couldn’t have happened to a better guy.

CLICK HERE to see my early thoughts about The Blaze with a contribution during it’s opening weekend of publication back in 2010.  I’m pretty good at spotting a winner. 

And this footage of Glenn Beck’s visit to Wilmington, Ohio and his Christmas dedication to one of my favorite films, It’s a Wonderful Life.

The fighters in this new way of thinking are standing up for what’s good, for the values we all celebrate in films like It’s a Wonderful Life.  Anything less, just isn’t acceptable and for me, I expect those values every day of the year…………………..not just during Christmas.

The Next Great War: Why America has so many guns–and it needs them

I’m waiting patiently for the revolution to start.  When it happens if I’m the only one fighting, that’s fine—but somehow I think that won’t be the case.  Once other people see one or two people resisting the encroachment of perpetual statism happening in The United States as of 2013, they will join like others have in the past during the American Revolution and the Civil War.  Whatever we call this next war within America, I will be one of the first to respond to the force that is sure to be applied and I can’t wait.  I love history and we are living history.  Now—before I elaborate, look at this next video and study the foolish position of the presented actors when the editor took the comments they made favoring more gun control and compared them to the kinds of films those same actors have made which feature gun violence.  The hypocrisy is obvious, but is done in this video with a comic flare that should be noted. 

 

 

Actors are paid to say whatever appears in their scripts.  If the script says to commit violence, they act it out for the cameras.  If it tells them to get naked and have sex with perfect strangers in front of a crew of 50 or more people—they do it.  And if the script tells them to come out against gun violence in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, they do it.  (Sandy Hook was a false flag by the way.  End of story—CLICK HERE for more.) So the opinions of these actors mean nothing—they are not leaders, or spokesmen for America.   They are actors who don’t have thoughts of their own.  They are like parrots; they repeat what they are told to say when they are told to say it.  I can affirm that from first hand experience.  Actors are not bad people, but they are not great thinkers or philosophers either—and are unqualified to give any opinions of worth.   They are paid well to fill a role and to not question that role. 

 

Guns are one of the biggest parts of American culture and that isn’t going to change.  The reason that the movies those actors play in feature so many guns is because Americans love guns.  Americans like to see guns shooting.  They like knowing they have them in their bedrooms.  They like plot lines that have guns in them, and Hollywood knows it—which is why they make movies that feature gun violence.  If Hollywood tried to change that trend, they would loose billions of dollars at the box office—so taking violence out of movies will not happen.  People are not going to pay $15 dollars a ticket to watch people talk about their problems.  They want to see stuff blow up, and they want to see heroes save the day with guns. 

 

Hollywood doesn’t really believe half the garbage that they advocate through donations to the Democratic Party, but they feed money to those statism monsters to keep the idiots from passing laws that will hurt Hollywood’s ability to make money.  Hollywood simply pays the troll by sending their actors out to give public messages making the statism advocates happy—which is why those mindless actors came out against gun violence, while they make their livings advocating it.  The message is just as hypocritical as a pornography actress coming out publicly in favor of sex only after marriage in a strictly monogamous relationship.  Her words are worthless because of what she does for a living. 

 

Guns are a fact in America and the enemies of American sovereignty are the ones who want disarmament for the same reason that it has always occurred—a potential for invasion and the capture of national resources.  There are enemies who want to control America both foreign and domestic and you can tell who they are because they advocate removal of guns from our society. For them it’s a tactical maneuver not a moral one.  For the global statism power grabbers using the United Nations as their personal army behind a façade of peace, they have no hope of pulling The United States into the global fold of power so long as private citizens have so many guns.  There is not a utopian desire for global peace by these people.  It hasn’t happened in over 100,000 of human development and it won’t leave the mind of man in the next 100,000 years no matter how pompous the progressive academics wish to believe such a thing possible.  The way to curb violence is with more guns, not less because the threats to our nation are not outwardly obvious, but instead devious. 

 

Just to put things in perspective as to why America is being targeted from across the two big ponds is that a potential invader of American resources must not only defeat the American military, but the American people also.  For instance if you took just registered deer hunters in the state of Wisconsin and assumed that each of them possessed only one gun each, their number alone would exceed the guns possessed in Iran, France and Germany combined.  That is a lot of guns, and it makes it very difficult for a military general to plan any sort of military maneuver against America.  There are enough guns in just one state to hold off an entire army from those three countries.  But states like Michigan and Pennsylvania outnumber Wisconsin in registered deer hunters.  There are enough guns in just those three states to hold off an invasion from all of Europe making a direct attack against America impossible.  So they are forced to attack America indirectly—through The United Nations with regulation, taxation, and treaties. Yet even with all the guns in Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania a murder with guns is very rare in the Midwest.  It is only in the big cities like Detroit, Philadelphia and Green Bay where statism is strongest that gun violence is worst.  There are a lot of homes in my Ohio neighborhood with guns and nobody shoots each other when we get angry. 

 

I know for a fact that guns make a peaceful difference because I’ve seen it first hand many times over. I once took a bet to walk from Central Parkway to the University of Cincinnati up Vine Street back when it was one of the most violent areas in the city.  I walked the whole distance past drug dealers, hookers, pimps, and various thugs without a single act of violence against me.  I did the same in downtown Washington D.C.  I walked five blocks down K-Street at 3 A.M. then up four blocks to the north.  Along the way I passed one car that had been overturned and was on fire from violence that had occurred just 20 minutes before I passed by.  No police or fire fighters came until dawn when the thugs went to bed and the politicians traded positions on those same streets.  Not a single incident happened to me—because all the goons, the punks, and creeps who roamed the streets at night looking for a victim thought I was armed.  I wasn’t armed with a gun—because if I did get into trouble, I didn’t want the added complication.  But thugs know by the look in your eye that you are armed, whether it is with a firearm, or the internal knowledge that you can handle yourself in any situation.  That assurance is the key to personal and national freedom.  Americans know deep in their hearts that they outnumber the entire army of North Korea, Japan, China, Germany, Russia, England, France Australia or the entire continent of Africa, so they don’t worry about an attack from any of those countries.  The reason we can all travel to the mall and buy goods without worrying about a terrorist bombing routinely is because we have guns.  The reason that many companies wish to do business in America in spite of the extraordinarily high taxes is because we have a stable political climate because guns force everyone to keep on the up and up.  Guns keep our own military in line—making sure they stay on the side of the tax payers instead of aligning with statist power grabbers.  It is because of the gun that we are safe in America from all enemies.  Not just made up propaganda targets.

 

The domestic enemies in America are those who advocate gun control, because it is those people who wish to alter the American Constitution, and wish to disarm The United States to fulfill the wishes within The United Nations of global disarmament, and I consider that type of rhetoric to be an attack on my sovereignty within my nation.  Those power grabbing people will not go away—they will continue to encroach themselves upon our American lifestyle using every tragedy as a platform for their message of war through peace.  That’s what is behind the Hollywood message for gun control.  That is what is behind the entire gun control argument and those who cannot see such deplorable acts are naive—and sorry to say—stupid.   

 

When war happens, I will be there to fight for The Constitution specifically The Second Amendment—because they are coming after our guns.  They will use the IRS, the ATF, Homeland Security, local law enforcement, TSA, the FBI, the CIA, the National Guard to come after those of us who stand against statism.  The only thing that keeps war from breaking out right now is the knowledge that we all have guns.  We sit on the knowledge that we can defend ourselves should the unthinkable happen.  If gun laws are created that buys these guns back, or confiscates them entirely, that security will go away, and that is when the next war will erupt.  And when it does, I’m ready and looking forward to meeting many of you in person.  The country does not rest on the shoulders of some politician in Washington, or some 23 year-old girl who will take her top off for millions of people then lecture us about how we should support more gun control.  Our freedoms rest behind the barrel of a gun and are only as strong as the number of them that are in houses all across the nation.  When guns are threatened by domestic enemies, that is the start of the next war within the states.  The first fire of that war will be when authorities try to take those guns and learn the tragic result of that arrogant miscalculation. 

I’m with you Ted. It might be you me, and a handful of people, but it will be enough.

Gandalf for President: Glenn Beck talks about “The Hobbit”

By now everyone has probably seen for themselves why The Hobbit is such a magnificent movie, and why I have written so much about it.  Peter Jackson is one of the great directors of our time in that he took one of the greatest books and put it on the screen as it was written which was no easy task.  It is clear that The Hobbit is not just a movie like all the other entertainment options available at the theater, but is in a class by itself.  It is also clear that many of the people who made it are finding the Christian parallels difficult to explain away out of fear that they might not work again in film industry run by producers who have become like Smoug in the movie—sitting on a pile of stolen gold.  The dragon Smoug is drunk for power, which is the great theme of The Hobbit and it is difficult for people to see the movie and not see themselves in one of the characters.  A powerful story always has this effect and is the sign of a lasting mythology.  Those who don’t like The Hobbit are clearly seeing themselves as the villains of The Hobbit—they are like Smoug, the Orcs, or even the Ring Wraths who are trying to come back into the world from the land of the dead. The Hobbit covers within its story line all the various degrees of evil that can be easily seen in modern life and puts it into context—which is a great benefit to the minds of man.  Many however who see The Hobbit are likely to see themselves as the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins as Glenn Beck did when he covered this new film and its literary legacy over time on a recent episode of The Blaze TV.  The Hobbit is meant to appeal to those types of people and to provide them with courage as they navigate through the many evils that we all encounter in day-to-day life outside of books and movies.  For me however, I do not relate to The Hobbits very much.  They are way too timid for my liking—instead it is the wizard Gandalf that I directly relate to.  It is Gandalf the Grey that I understand and why I love the story of The Hobbit so much.

Peter Jackson like J.R.R. Tolkien understood that if he came out and overtly proclaimed that the messages in The Hobbit were essentially Christian that the other religions of the world would take offense.   Wisely, Jackson has avoided such comparisons during the making of the movie in New Zealand.  Even more remarkable were the various labor disputes that my readers here will recognize with my frequent articles about teacher unions in The United States.  The same type of radicalism is present in the film industry and it gets harder every year to deal with the increasing costs of making profitable movies as unionized labor has pushed up those costs to unsustainable heights.  This is one of the reasons that The Walt Disney Company is now picking up so many profitable properties such as Marvel Comics and Star Wars, because they are mythmaking machines, and have the revenue streams to deal with the labor unions through other businesses such as theme parks—for now.  But projects like The Hobbit to be as epic as it deserves has to be made as cheaply as possible—and it took the actors who played in The Hobbit to display a lot of courage to commit to these Hobbit films.  On top of that, the Tolkien family was split over the success of the Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films and wanted to dissociate with Jackson’s work.  Peter Jackson masterfully navigated all these production perils to tell the magnificent story of The Hobbit that can be shared with audiences.    Without question the son of J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher remembered the stories his father wrote for him to be much less action packed than Jackson presented  in movie theaters, but ultimately Peter Jackson understood that Christopher is not unlike Bilbo Baggins himself, and is prone to out-bursts protecting his father’s legacy as he remembered it.  So Jackson blew off the family rift to make the movie he envisioned anyway.  You can read about some of these issues at this link:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/7971185/Kiwi-actors-suffer-after-Hobbit-dispute-union

So it is a small miracle that The Hobbit was even made—and it is a larger miracle that it was made so well by so many people.  Actors know it is unpopular for them to play in a movie that is so obviously taking a stand on good and evil when the progressive labor unions they must join to work, and the other studios they hope to get work from are filled with progressive movie producers.  Being involved with a movie like The Hobbit will earn the actors respect forever from millions of fans, but they will have their work in The Hobbit held against them in future roles and most of them will not get “rich” off their work in The Hobbit, so they will feel pain from their decision.   The Hobbit will be blacklisted by the Academy Awards because of the labor dispute mentioned in the article above.  There was a lot against The Hobbit; there was every excuse for the film to fall short which of course it didn’t.

But the Gandalf in me sees a bigger work at play here, and that is that The Hobbit is so incredibly needed by our present civilization.  Evil is very much at work in our modern world and it rides the backs of progressives like Orcs ride the backs of those giant wolves in the film.  Evil works within the collectivism of the labor unions, it works mindlessly in politics, in religion destroying stalemates, in sheer greed, and many who watch The Hobbit and hate it recognize that they are one of the villains in the movie—so Academy Award snubs should be expected and considered a privilege.  The movie The Hobbit based religiously on the original work by J.R.R. Tolkien but upgraded enough to carry the mind of today’s youth, is about facing down evil and living to tell about it.  Without this confrontation with evil, the world as we know it will crumble away into nothing, which is the entire point of the film.

There are a mere handful of films over Hollywood’s history that do what The Hobbit has done, films like It’s a Wonderful Life, The Sound of Music, and of course Star Wars, that so accurately captures the hopes and dreams of our society and paints a picture that is so clearly understood.   The Hobbit is a special film because it steps up and over the many evil forces that desired with drool running down its mouth to stop goodness from being shown to a mass audience for the inspiration toward good that would fill the minds of millions with hope.  The Hobbit provides genuine assurance without the distraction of obvious religion to separate the mind from the contents of a powerful story.  It is in this way that evil finds that it cannot advance easily upon the minds of man—when those minds can see it coming a mile away, The Hobbit teaches in story form what that evil looks like and how it works so it can be seen in reality.  That is why I love Gandalf so much, because he is able to assemble all the parts of the story to work toward an aim to thwart the work of evil, even when those evil doers are his own friends.  Gandalf knows enough to protect himself with a simple Hobbit while he goes on his crusade on behalf of the good.  And now audiences everywhere can do the same.  This is why I most identify with Gandalf, and somehow I think that Peter Jackson does too.  Jackson might tell the public that he is a simple Hobbit, so that he can make his films, but his mind is like that of Gandalf—a master manipulator on behalf of a good that nobody can yet see—but only the wise master of all things, a mediator between Heaven and Earth and crusader for everything that is good, and an enemy to all that is evil.

Gandalf for President!

A Lesson on Government from George Lang: how things are supposed to work

Below is an example of how local government is supposed to work—at least as a sample of the type of debate that should transpire between the participants.  This is true no matter what kind of government is presented, whether it is a school board, a group of trustees for a township which is the example below, or a city council—the elected representatives are supposed to argue and hash out issues with passionate narrative in order to arrive at a proper conclusion.  In the example provided, West Chester Trustee George Lang argues against the proposal of trustee Cathy Stoker, and Lee Wong who are voting in favor of a contract renewal with the Fraternal Order of Police that has very lucrative benefits included.  Many of the employees being discussed make very close to six figures a year.  CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW MUCH AND WHO THEY ARE (there’s over 80 comments on that link that are very entertaining).  So the employees are already well compensated, and this new contract more than insures more of the same behavior, which Lang argues West Chester may find balancing a budget will be difficult in the coming years.  Watch for yourself:

George Lang was outvoted 2 to 1, but he still went to the trouble to make the public argument for the good of West Chester, and this is why it’s important to vote in favor of more representatives like Lang at election time.  In West Chester, Cathy and Lee’s seats are coming up for re-election, so there is a chance for West Chester to vote big spenders like those two trustees out of office in favor of managers who will behave more like George Lang.

The trend in most political organizations such as school boards, trustees and city councils is to try to achieve group consensus and this is where politics fails.  When the members of the governing body are more concerned about winning a popularity contest, or being accepted by the other governing members, the chance for spirited debate is effectively squashed, and does not happen very often.  In Lang’s situation of course his position will not make him popular with the public sector unions, but he is not concerned about those kinds of things—he is trying to manage the impact of the contracts cost against the ability of the tax payers of West Chester to pay the bill without tax increases, which is how the process is supposed to work.

Ultimately the video above reveals a much more sinister evil that is at the heart of every government deal involving any public sector union, and illustrates why school boards and other management organizations lose control of their costs—third-party arbitration.  In the video Cathy Stoker discusses that if the contract is not accepted by the trustees that a third-party will be called in to resolve the dispute and force the hand of the trustees against their will.  This third-party arbitration is exactly why school boards do not have the stomachs to fight teacher unions to manage their costs, because the union will force the dispute into arbitration and trump the elected school board.  School boards don’t want to be trumped, so they go along with whatever teacher unions’ support to avoid the third-party embarrassment.

The same threat is present when involving fire fighter unions, and police unions.  In West Chester, Cathy Stoker showed in the video that she is very concerned about third-party arbitration forcing upon them costs that exceed the contract they are agreeing to, while George Lang suggests that the trustees should force the issue into arbitration and fight it out in an effort to save the costs against the tax payers of West Chester.  Lang knows that if they lose their arbitration hearing, he would then have the leverage in the media to blame the arbitration process for the high taxes imposed by the third-party.  So he is willing to roll the dice, whereas Stocker and Wong aren’t.  But at least the debate happened and all three trustees didn’t mindlessly accept the contract without spirited discussion.

When electing these kinds of politicians it is more beneficial to elect fighters instead of people who will just lie down and say “uncle” in the face of third-party arbitration.  It is this threat that drives up the cost of all these public sector workers with teachers, fire fighters, and police departments.  Public sector unions should be illegal, and third-party arbitration by un-elected officials should also be illegal.  The laws that protect this system are a travesty against the tax payers.  But thank God not all politicians are mindless “yes men” who just go through the political motions so they can have the social popularity of a name-plate upon their desks.  Some politicians like George Lang actually try to manage the costs that impact his community, which is what he was elected to do.

For those reading this who are my community neighbors thinking of running for an office there are three school board seats coming up at Lakota, two seats coming up for the West Chester Trustees, and Liberty Twp has some seats coming up, it would be advisable for you to run for one of those seats.  If you need help getting in touch with people who can help with money to run for office, then feel free to contact me, and I’ll put you in touch with those who can help with your campaigns—because I’d like to see more people like George Lang in these local positions fighting on behalf of the tax payers in the years to come.  That is the key to solving many of our future problems circulating around sustaining community growth and maintaining a positive economic future, electing politicians locally who will actually do the job as well as George Lang does.

On the other side, an example of how the job is done poorly can be seen in the video below.

See the difference?  No wonder Detroit is broke and looks the way it does.

Dear Speaker Boehner: When will you decide to impeach the President?

John Boehner, do you remember when I sent you a letter one year ago urging you to impeach President Obama over the appointment of Richard Cordray for Consumer Financial Protection Bureau?  To refresh your memory I stated: “Obama used a loophole in the recess rules to appoint Corday and he’s not the first president to do so. Both Bush’s used this practice, Reagan did, Teddy Roosevelt did, but Obama has taken it to a new level with this “bending” of the interpretation of the Constitution terminology with an activism that is shockingly disrespectful.”

You can see the original letter as I wrote it at the link below.  Your office also has a copy of the letter. 

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/impeach-obama-domestic-enemies-must-be-dealt-with/

I know at the time you thought my statements were extreme, and a radical utterance from one of those crazy gun wielding right-wingers that lives down the road from your house.  You didn’t listen because you shook hands with the president, played golf with the guy, and you thought you were in a better position than I to understand the character of the president.

However, I would say that you have found yourself seduced by an intoxicant that Obama spews from every pour when he engages people with voice and touch.  You know you’ve received it when he places his hand on your back after a handshake to pat you like a dog for your loyalty.  I’ve watched him do it to you, and I know you’ve been seduced by it, because I can see it in your eyes.

But John Boehner of West Chester, Ohio, you have to fight off that seduction by such a destructive human being.  Obama is playing a dangerous game of conquest not with bows and arrows, tanks, or even armies, but one of peaceful ideology that corrupts the body of America the same way that the plague of Europe killed off a large part of that population before anybody knew they were sick.   Obama is a sickness for America and I think you are beginning to see it.

With this sudden realization now that some history is behind my words, have a look at my letter again shown at the link above, and consider how much pain you could have saved if you had listened to what I said then.  Think of the benefit to the economy, think of the lives that would have been enhanced, think of the power you have lost in just one year now that Obama has been re-elected.  You better learn from the past and act properly in the future; otherwise you won’t have a House in Congress to be the leader of.  You better start to fight America’s domestic enemies with the kind of ruthlessness that they use to attack, and come to grips with the actions they are conducting of which you are in a position to rebuke.

I thought the appointment of Richard Cordray was an impeachable offence, but a year later, Obama’s unconstitutional power grabs seem silly relative to the other crimes he has committed against the same Constitution you and he were sworn to protect.  Obviously Obama is attacking the Constitution, and through your behavior, you are unintentionally complicit.  I would advise that you get serious about this game and use the power you have been given to stop the progress of the kind of domestic enemies who wish to change our way of life at the expense of our own good-will.  And I would also suggest that you do not ignore the warning signs from your constituents when they are given to you.  It might save you tremendous headaches in the future.

The State of Public Education: Why it must be destroyed in current form

In relation to the Hostess Labor Strike that I wrote about yesterday, the issue of public education must be painted against this backdrop.  CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW.  Public education is controlled by radical labor unions who teach our children aspects of life that many of us may not agree with—such as sexual education that leans in a promiscuous direction, anti-capitalistic labor practices, large government expansion, and of course destructive global sciences that are rooted in belief and not fact.  These would not be so problematic if parents had an option as to where they could send their children, and if they did not like the school and what it taught their children, they had the option of taking their child to another school that was more in line with their family’s beliefs.  However, the union labor agreements with government help has helped create a destructive progressive monopoly that resides in each and every neighborhood in America and it is with these monopolies that the single greatest threat to The United States resides—the attack on the minds of our youth to learn things that are not only detrimental to themselves, but our nation—as is in evidence by the results of the 2012 election.

Labor unions in public school maintain a government backed monopoly, and when education employees wish to increase their wages, all they must do is strike forcing school boards and federal mediators to come in and resolve the labor dispute.  Parents do not have the option to pick their kids up and take them to another school that does not have striking employees, busing cuts, or pay-for-play extracurricular activities because government has backed the labor unions into maintaining an education monopoly—forcefully taking money from property ownership to fund the monopoly.  The only recourse a parent has who is displeased with this arrangement is to pull their child out of their local public school and teach them at home.  But the scam still impacts them as their tax money will still be stolen from their property value whether or not the parents enjoy the product of public education.

When teachers strike, parents have no choice but to accept the product and this is wrong.  This government arrangement with public education ensures that the teaching profession will always be paid much higher than the tax payers who pay their salaries with benefits that are lavish and among the best of their kind.  The working hours are extraordinarily easy, and the other benefits are excessively good—and are granted because education has maintained this monopoly status with the guns of the government at their back leaving some radical teachers to advocate political beliefs to our youth without fear of competing ideas to filter out the actual merit.  Parents are told to put up and shut up, and to simply pay their taxes, otherwise their property will be seized.

This is the state of public education, and it is one of the worst debacles of our modern age.  It creates un-thinking youth, helpless parents, and advances the cause of destructive progressivism in American culture.  I find the entire arrangement appalling, and I take great honor in being called by my progressive enemies, the LASH OF EXTREMISM.  (CLICK FOR REVIEW.)  Now that it is well known what is behind the labor movement within the education industry, I consider such a term to be the highest compliment.  My only wish is that more people were not so chicken but to call these parasites what they are.  Instead, they continue to put up with it when they know it’s wrong—instead of demanding something better.  I am considered an extremist because I have demanded better for less money.   I am considered an extremist for expecting the kids of my community to learn about capitalism instead of communism, to demand that teachers live within a wage structure that everyone else does, and to ask for options so that education monopolies can’t be allowed to loot a community’s wealth from property value and re-distribute that wealth to democratic politicians who advocate legal socialism.  It is a high compliment indeed to be called an extremist by such social parasites just for demanding options.

It is a good thing to be considered an enemy among progressives and communists because believe me—I don’t like them either.  The feeling is more than mutual.  Progressives seek to impose themselves on all our lives and that makes them a threat to personal liberty.  To see what’s at stake for our future and why the threat is so real watch the videos below.  To see what’s behind those videos and the threats of education against our children CLICK HERE.  You may be stunned to learn the truth.

Save America by Breaking the Law: Rebellion starts by shrugging regulations

With the times that are coming it must be said that my advice to you dear reader is to get used to ignoring the laws created by half-baked politicians and scheming attorneys who impose their selfish maneuvers into public service.  Speaking for myself, should the NDAA Act be called upon me or my family, the hides of the perpetrators will find themselves decorating the trees of my front yard.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW THE NDAA ACT.  At some point people have to decide what kind of world they want to live in and if the political class no longer represents the core of the people who make up a country, changes must be made, and those who currently reside in power will not give it back until forced to either with violence, or the money runs out—which will then of course lead to violence from the riots that will take place much like what Europe is going through presently.

I am aware that my statement may sound radical to those who have not been paying attention, and my suggestion that my friends, family and neighbors should openly break the law seems insane.  But before the news hits the wire that I went on some crazy rampage of law breaking, be it known that I placed my thoughts about the balance between law and order, and the pursuit of freedom in my book Tail of the Dragon, which contains my opinion about the legal system’s merit, national and world-wide politics, and the rights of the individual to live a good life—and I will allow that book to speak on my behalf and support with much greater detail what I’m saying now.

Break the law—and do it openly.  Shrug off the laws of politicians and their pages upon pages of regulations they produce and send them the message that their laws have no meaning.  Buy radar detectors to cheat the speed limit, buy license plate frames that throw off speed camera detection, find ways to legally shelter your tax dollars from your local public school, find a way to work around the EPA and every other regulatory agencies.  Find a way to break every law that restricts your freedom for the health of the liberty movement in America.  Do it in the spirit of protecting you and your families from the “takers” so that the “makers” can live to produce again at some future time.

Ironically, I suspected that this time would come many years ago, and I know the question that will be asked next—what gives me the right to decide what right and wrong is?  What gives me the right to decide what laws I’ll follow and which ones I’ll discard as worthless?  If everyone does what I plan to do, the world will fall into anarchy and people will be killing each other for no good reason.  Well, I examined this very issue in my 2004 book The Symposium of Justice—so before anyone claims that I am a crazed radical who does not have a right to drive too fast on the nation’s roads, or come and go where I please in any manner that I wish, or avoid corrosive taxes denying the needs of the many in protection of my self-interest, my thoughts are published in those two books and should settle the argument better than any court case, or media blitz that attempts to paint my future behavior in a negative way.  The reason behind my actions is there in those books for all to read and cannot be edited by any spin masters in public relations, or online editors who might attempt to paint a picture of me that isn’t true.  My true statements are copyrighted with the Library of Congress and cannot be altered easily.

I’ve been in every kind of trouble one can imagine, I know the court system, I know lawyers, I know politics, I know business, I know the darkest aspects of the human heart, and I know history—I know where we are headed and how difficult it will be—and I will not follow fools to that destination under the shackle of law.  My family will not follow and I will take up arms with the intention that there is no retreat.  And when that time happens, I will not allow my name to be smeared the way that Randy Weaver was at Ruby Ridge. CLICK HERE TO SEE ALL ABOUT THAT SITUATION.  That is why I published my public statement not in a court of law, but in the books that live forever and are openly available to the public through Amazon.com and can by-pass the media that would attempt to paint me as a lunatic as we all suspect happens a lot to other untamables.

There comes a time when people have to decide what side they are on, because taking a neutral position is no longer possible.  Pleading ignorance isn’t funny any longer.  People must decide if they are social “makers” or social “takers” and the battle lines are drawn right there.  I will not adhere to laws that are designed to create more social “takers” at the expense of the “makers.”  I won’t do it any more, and when the “takers” come to extort my participation, there will be big trouble, because I will not yield.

So break some laws and feel good about it, the more of us that do such things the better.  I would prefer if I wasn’t the only one, but I will proceed regardless of mutual participation.  Talks of revolution are toothless unless there is a willingness to push back in some way, and America is on the cusp of another revolution.  It would be wonderful if such a revolution could be done peacefully without death and violence—but I am beginning to doubt it.  The personalities in modern government are not equipped to govern my life, and that is why I declare that laws should be openly broken as a rebellion against corrupt authority.

I do not feel that way about all government.  It gives me great hope to see that Sharon Kennedy from my community recently ousted a former radical Ohio Supreme Court Judge in Columbus.  Sharon was a former police officer, yet the FOP did not endorse her for the election in 2012.  For anybody who has read the Ohio Constitution it is a good document that is even purer and liberty loving than the Federal Constitution, but it is ignored and manipulated by many greedy lawyers looking for a way to game the system, especially at the federal level.  The battle of our day is the fight between judges like Sharon Kennedy at the state level and those appointed by presidents at the federal level.  The federal government believes that they trump state law and seek at every turn to make their intentions known.  I respect the law that Sharon Kennedy provides.  I do not respect the law that comes out of Washington politics.  That is where I draw the line.

So break the law and do it with American pride.  Don’t make yourself a pawn to the chess players of life in politics.  Fight back by rejecting their laws and letting them know that you think they are irrelevant.  Do it for the good of the country, and for your own sanity.  But if you don’t do it for any other reason, do it for your own sanity.  Breaking unjust laws is healthy for the liberty movement.  If liberty is the goal, then more laws is the enemy, and it is time to declare such things so with more than just talk.

Obama Picks a Fight: Everything You Need to Know About Benghazi

Whatever you call pure evil, the story below is the embodiment of it.  If in the past you screamed for President Nixon to resign over Watergate you should scream the same thing of Obama over Benghazi, because it is much, much worse.  If you declared that President Reagan should be impeached over Iran Contra, then you should say the same about President Obama and his Department of Justice head Eric Holder, because they are involved in much more sinister plans than anything done during that epic failure that would forever tarnish the reputation of Ronald Reagan.  Benghazi has written all over it the worst of American politics, it involves death, sex, betrayal, and worse of all, a complete willingness by a sitting President to lie to the American public and to destroy the lives of everyone, and anyone to do it.

Glenn Beck has provided so far the best information about the Benghazi failure without over-the-top conspiracy theories.  Many Americans simply are not evil, and cannot begin to wrap their minds around people who are—people who will do anything at any cost to win their position.  And when it comes to the highest office in the world compounded with the fact that the players are extreme radicals, the recipient for destruction is self-evident to anyone who cares to look.  Listen to these below broadcasts carefully and completely and you will learn all you need to know about the Benghazi situation that is behind the curtain of the General Petraus affair.

General Petraus was deliberately baited and set up to take the fall for a number of diabolical schemes that were already well in motion.  And the Obama Administration is attempting to conceal their many crimes by making the entire Benghazi situation into one of sex which was the same strategy Clinton’s Administration used to cover up his perjury conviction in the House of Representatives in 1998, which many people forgot about, due to the successful distraction created by the Lewinsky sex scandal.  The public was so infatuated with the presidential semen stains on the blue dress that they could simply not grapple with the severity of the perjury case.  This is what you get when you elect lawyers into public office, and Obama is a radical socialist sympathizer who is also a lawyer.  Click the bellow link to review the Clinton case.

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

By setting up Petraus to take the fall for the gun running operation that supplied the terrorists in Libya in order to overthrow Kaddafi, the Obama Administration had planted the seeds that Beck explained in great detail above.   It should be obvious by now to understand why Obama called in the military action against Libya while he was in Brazil which caused so much of a stir, but again was easily forgotten due to the sheer volume of negative information the American people were required to digest of the evil being performed right under their noses.

The lawyer tactic used in all these cases, which all these former and present presidents employee to advance their power grabs–to cover their tracks in the wake of much destruction, is the “Crow Test.“  Click here to read my article on this diabolical scheme that is used every single day to cover the many crimes that happen in broad daylight.  The sex scandal of Petraus is the overload information item designed intentionally by many evil minds to focus the mass public on information that they find more appealing, and sensational than the menacing truth behind the many deaths that have fallen in the line of fire from a regime of power grabbers that will do anything to have their way.  That is why the punishment of these characters must be swift, and decisive.  The minds of the public cannot be allowed to be toyed with like children easily distracted by the newest toy in their play pin.

Evil must be dealt with not with careful hands and pats on the back hoping to appease their temperament.  Evil must be crushed—completely, and mashed out of existence.  Failure of such conviction will ultimately destroy our country for all political parties, no matter what their affiliation.  This game in Benghazi requires a conviction against evil, and anything else will allow more evil to encroach itself even deeper into American culture like the fulfillment of a Book of Revelations prophecy.

One of the keys to winning at war, according to the ancient Chinese literary classic, The Art of War is that the military strategist must “possess the heart to take hearts,” meaning you must not show mercy to your enemy even if they squirm on the ground when they are caught and beg for mercy.  Such enemies must have their heads cut off when they are strategically outmaneuvered.  If they are allowed to live, they will return to fight again the next time more prepared than the previous time, and such is the case over Benghazi in relation to President Clinton’s perjury conviction.  The same tactics will be used later to conceal much greater crimes because they worked before, and will work in the future.  The recipients of the manipulation lack the heart to take hearts these days, and evil knows it.  That is why Benghazi cannot be allowed to be swept under the rug and justice must be pursued no matter who falls from power, or who goes to jail.  All involved must be made an example of if America is to preserve itself as a nation and such justice must be pursued as though all our lives depended on it—because in a lot of ways—it does.

Obama dared everyone to come after him.  I suggest many people oblige him.

“Pretty tough talk Obama, with your NDAA Act behind you and the entire military much of which you’ve managed to strip away the top ranking officials……………Hmmmm?  I wonder what you’re up to?”

For all you ultra conservative Republicans who probably haven’t been in a parking lot fight in 60 years—if ever—Obama is calling you out.  Usually when a guy talks smack like he is he’s guilty and trying to bluff his true position with brute force.  It worked against Romney in the second debate and Romney backed off like a nice conservative and never brought it up again.  Now Obama’s trying to do the same thing in front of the Benghazi congressional hearings.  You’ll notice that the labor unions use the same tactic.  The best thing to do when these types of thugs mouth off like that is to go over and give them everything you’ve got and then some.  Because they are asking for it, and calculate that you won’t do it.

“Sons of Liberty”: ‘Assassin’s Creed III’ and the winds of REVOLUTION

For those who are curious as to what it looks like inside my mind—this preview to the new game Assassin’s Creed III is an accurate representation of my core beliefs.

At the end of my driveway next to my mailbox I have two poles sticking up about four feet tall prompting a couple of young people to ask me as they walked by, “what are those poles for?” I told them that those poles were pikes intended to proudly display the cut off heads of my enemies as I take their bodies into my garage and make belts from their hides. The two teenagers gave me an odd look and promptly headed down the road without looking back. In reality the poles are for displaying the battle flags that the owners of The Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave me a few years ago that I fly on game days. But since its Halloween, I thought a good story would fit the mood of the falling leaves and the cool air so I told the kids something to fill their imaginations. But to be honest, I do think such things and would behave as such if all of society crumbled and I no longer believed that The Constitution in America had any power. Such haunted house rumblings are fun in peace time, but during war, they would become standard practice, and those poles may be easily used for just such a function.

To the timid minds of America in the 21st Century, watered down with years of progressivism, let me establish that my ideas about The Revolutionary War are very dear to me. All through my life, I have flown battle flags from my hand-made forts as a youth, worn patches of American flags on my T-shirt sleeves, and I have been involved in violence in defense of the ideas I hold true, on more than one occasion. I am not a particularly sentimental man. I seldom visit the graves of deceased family members for the simple reason of keeping my mind focused on today and tomorrow and staying out of the past. But there is one monument to the past that gives me great, sentimental reverence, and stirs my emotions greatly when I see it. That monument is the Liberty Tree displayed in Walt Disney World standing proudly across from Tom Sawyer Island. The reason I love that tree is because it’s from the film that gave me my first impression of the American Revolution, the 1957 movie, Johnny Tremain. Listen carefully to this song, it is one of my favorites, and I hum it to myself often. It is the principles of that film, and that song that I think of when I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States of America. And when Walt Disney dedicated the film Johnny Tremain to the youth of America, my four-year old persona swore an oath that I would live by those ideas for my entire life, and that I would defend personal liberty at whatever cost. That cost now is simply name-calling, but if things denigrate any further, I can see a future where those poles at the end of my driveway will host my former statement instead of the later.

I love violence, I won’t misrepresent myself. I have engaged in it in years past, and I will engage in it in the future. But I have learned over the years to use my mind first to avoid the unneeded spilling of blood. Ideas are far more powerful than guns or swords. But let me just say that right now I am salivating and I mean literally drooling over the upcoming video game release of Assassins Creed III set to be released on Halloween 2012, that features a version of my old favorite movie Johnny Tremain that is much more akin to the sentiments of today.

When my wife and I were at a screening of Atlas Shrugged this past weekend, we were easily the youngest in the audience, and we are grandparents now. The youth of today has been programmed through progressive institutions to be slack-minded and physically weak by just about every sector of the global economy, except for video games. They were not at the screening of Atlas Shrugged learning about capitalism from a book written in 1957 and they have no interest in a slow-paced story from 1957 made by the long deceased Walt Disney also in 1957. To reach the youth with the important messages of today it has to be done through movies, books, and especially video games. So it is a great relief to me, that UbiSoft has designated for their newest Assassin’s Creed game a story about The American Revolution, because it will have an even more powerful effect on today’s youth, than the old movie Johnny Tremain did on me as a child.

The game will teach game players—adults alike—about the period of The American Revolution, and the politics that led to creating the freest country on earth. It takes fictional liberty by creating the Assassin character that will interact with famous revolutionary generals, like George Washington, and will paint the picture of what it was like in 1773 on through 1776 in Boston, Massachusetts where the American Revolution was born. Progressives have tried to paint those of us in the Tea Party movement with the derogatory name of “Tea Baggers” and finally there is a story that will show that the European influence that pushed the colonists in America toward more and more imperial control used much the same methods to ridicule the original Tea Partiers, of which the modern Tea Party gets their name.

If a simple story like Johnny Tremain from Walt Disney can create a resonance that gives me goose bumps to this very day whenever I hear the song, “Sons of Liberty,” and provoke me to visit the Liberty Tree every time I visit Walt Disney World like I’d visit the tomb stone of a long-lost family member, I can only imagine what effect a game like Assassin’s Creed will have on a society of youth purposely depleted by their educations to be restrained, progressive, and lack-luster, to learn suddenly that they have an obligation to fight for their independence, and to do whatever they must do to keep it.

As the teenagers walked away from my house I thought of them playing Assassin’s Creed in the weeks to come and finally putting together in their minds that the Tea Party they keep hearing about in the news, and on the tongues of their parents is from the same Tea Party that was shown in the game Assassin’s Creed, and that when the government decides to exercise an Executive Order of martial law, or utilizes the NDAA Act on the suburb streets of America that those same youth will be coming back to my house and asking me, “mister, can you teach us how to put our enemies heads on those poles at the end of your driveway?” I will respond, “Sure kids, step right up, I’ll teach you all you want to know and more,” and I’ll enjoy doing it.

This is where my gray-haired friends in the Tea Party and I differ. I know it makes them wonder about me why I don’t go to the phone bank meetings, and the various seminars about various political activities. I do keep my distance, it’s not that I’m rooting against them to succeed, but there is a part of me that hopes they fail to bring about a peaceful resolution. Because I do spend my time sharpening my swords, cleaning my guns, and staying sharp for the day when the word “RISE” will be more than a marketing campaign for a new video game. It will be the call of the land, and in that time, the plot of Assassin’s Creed will no longer be a fantasy. Because we are all “Sons of Liberty,” and that liberty cannot be maintained in the face of evil that lives and thrives through the phantom menace of collectivism.

Until that day, I will be playing Assassin’s Creed III and enjoying the fantasy of putting something other than flags on the poles at the end of my driveway.
