It has been exactly two years since I started this website. At this most festive time of year I extend my most heartfelt well wishes to all my subscribers and visitors no matter what holiday they are celebrating or if none at all. To all those who have visited and shared with others any benefit you have received and to all who have helped to encourage me with your comments and told others about this site I say with the deepest humility thank you so very much. There are two very good reasons why this site only averages one essay per month. I am the only writer is the first reason. The second reason is I spend countless hours thinkiing about what to write about and just as many hours thinking about what to say and how to say it. I want to be absolutely sure that no matter how much time passes I can stand one hundred percent behind every word I write. That is my pledge to everyone. Any writer worthy of his profession is ultimately responsble for every word that he publishes. I welcome comments whether critical or affirmative. If I should ever discover after further review or reflection that I have been mistaken I am not too proud to correct a mistake but, my opinions and analyses will never be based on polls or what is popular or generally perceived as true. Truth can and must be determined objectively. My search for truth is a quest and will never end. My goal is to share truth and understanding with everyone whose mind is open and to those whose minds are not open I hope I may be an instrument for good and help open those minds. I undertook this goal two years ago in starting this site for the sake of the present and future of the freedom and prosperity of this unique country, the United States of America( E Pluribus Unum) out of many one. The United States, the only country started based on a universal idea not on tribal association. That idea being that all people have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property and government’s only legitimate function is to protect those rights. Over the years there developed a disconnect from this principle. The solution to the problems so dominant in the media is to return to this core principle of good government and good citizenship.

Government is an instrument of proection of the inalienable rights of those who hire them. Therfore government is a servant, not a master. Government has no rights of its own. It only has responsbilities to protect and the necessary authority to perform it’s duties. Government’s only rights are those delegated to it by the people they are sworn to protect. Citizens can only delegate to government their right of self defense. Government’s only legitimate function is protecting people’s rights to life, liberty, and property. When government goes beyond it’s only Legitimate function it is usurpation and oppression. It then becomes a net detriment to the society that employs it and creates a net decrease in prosperity.

The search for truth is a never ending quest. Some truths are self evident. Others are elusive and require much ambition and determination to be found. Reach out and embrace truth without fear or prejudice for in the end obtaining truth is worth the effort for truth is reality. Anything less is but fantasy and not fit for human consumption.

Occupiers is a good label for the motley melange of malcontent destructive- minded disruptive rabble that has invaded NYC and taken unlawful possession of a piece of ground called a POPS(privately owned public space). Interestingly enough the plaza or park used to be called Liberty Park. During the time this essay has been slowly materializing as most of my essays do I have watched this “occupy” movement spread to other cities across our beleaguered land like the spores of a poison mushroom. I even recently had the experience of being accosted as I was leaving an appearance by Herman Cain here in Montgomery, AL by a lone “occupier” supporter shouting a familiar chant of their’s “we are the 99 per cent”. I assume my audience knows that the occupiers think there’s something wrong with one per cent owning a disproportionate amount of wealth. I just don’t get it. I am also part of the same 99 per cent and it doesn’t bother me one bit. It is morally corrupt to covet what another person owns even if they are millionaires or billionaires. If anyone becomes wealthy by honest means then they are guiltless and it is a shame and disgrace for politicians and private citizens to encourage envy and outright hostility to the most productive and successful minority in this land of opportunity. This wealthy minority that is being demonized by the hooligan- minded occupiers deserve to be respected for their accomplishments for their success has elevated the standard of living of millions of people. These occupiers have bought in to the perverted thinking that is propagated by the spread of Marxist socialist Keynesian philosophy. They obsinately and viciously attack the productive class when they should be protesting pervasive overreaching government that does not produce wealth but instead transfers it at its whim to its cronies. The net effect of this wealth transfer is a net decrease in prosperity and opportunites for individuals to provide for themseves and pursue their happiness. The occupiers are like spoiled children and have been praised and coddled by liberal minded politicians and media to the point of being repugnant and nauseating. The way they have been allowed to destroy private and public property, interfere with other citizens to go about their legitimate daily activities, and defy legitimate laws regulating public demonstrations is truly disgusting. Freedom of speech has no relation to what the “occupiers” across the nation are doing. It is way past time for this rabble to be reigned in and confronted with the legitimate laws that the rest of us are expected to comply with. Fly high and be free. Your freedom eagle, John H

I Was Just Watching Geraldo Rivera At Large on Fox News Channel as he was interviewing celebrities like Russell Simmons at the site of the occupy Wall Street protest. Typical of the intransigent wrong headed liberal elitists, Simmons was eager to misrepresent the very free market that made him so incredibly rich. Insted of criticizing government for bailing out financial corporation he made the absurd statement that the corporations are controlling government when it should be clear to anybody but a fool that it is illegitimate government that controls the corporations. I think it is worth noting that the libtard court jesters like Russell Simmons don’t seem to be condemning the bailout of corporations like General Motors aka Government Motors and its fellow government crony Chrysler. Oh I just wonder why? Could it be perhaps because Government Motors and Chrysler are union employers and the financial corporations are not. What a disgusting display of shamefull hipocrosy. Private corporations control bovernment? When is the last time you saw a private corporation arrest a citizen. imprison a citizen, execute a citizen. seize a citizen’s property without charging the property owner with a crime ? Corporations controlling government? Give me a break please! I’ve had as much of this Marxist, anti private enterprise bs as I can stand. There is no more damnable a lie as the malicious assertion that private corporations control government. Fly high and be free, Your freedom eagle John H.

In this great but faltering country I have been hearing a disturbing mantra from private citizens, media people, and government officials for far too long that ” a small number of rich people control a large amount of wealth in this country”. I don’t recall the percentages but, that just doesn’t matter. What does matter is the allegation itsef. The implication of the allegation is that the amount of wealth is controlled by too few people. Never mind the fact that the very people who make this absurdly evil allegation owe their very livelyhood to these same rich people who ” control so much wealth”. These are the people who never had the ambition, talent, savvy, or wherewithall to start a single business. They are the ones content to work for these “rich” people and let them have all the headaches such as employing people who aren’t satisfied that all they have to do is show up, do their job, and then go home. Oh no, they think that somehow just because the “rich” “exploits” them that they should control the wealth . Well, I have news for these ignorant, selfish, greedy, malcontents. The people who produce the wealth have every right to control it. Who else should control it? It is implicit that these malcontents think that they should control it or government should control it and even distribute it to them through some kind of Marxist grandiose utopian scheme. What a shame that there are far too many millions of Americans who have such a perverted attitude. Most rich people are honest and deserve to own every penny of wealth they have. Ownership of wealth doesn’t just confer the right to consume that wealth. It includes the right to give away and control its use as the owner sees fit. Any rich person who has accumulated wealth by fraud or outright theft is guilty of crime and is subject to legal penalties. This is a nation of the rule of law. It is not a perfect system since it is of humans not angels but, it is the best system in the history of mankind and has given the highest standard of living to the largest number of people than any other country. It is the wonder of the free market that has brought this about, not the voodoo of illegitimate gavernment stepping outside its proper function of protecting life, liberty, and property.

How many times have you heard the Keynesian mantra “stimulate the economy” chanted like part of some mystical ritual by the lamestream media and the even lamer White House and Democrat and Republican politicians ? It’s as if the “economy” is some kind of living entity like a worm in the laboratory of some mad scientest that isn’t moving to suit the mad scientest(i.e. El Presidente) so the mad scientest sticks electrical probes in the worm to “stimulate” it. Instead of moving faster the poor worm dies and the mad scientest is clueless to why the worm died. Well, the economy is not a worm that needs to be stimulated but, the Keynesian, fascist, central planning politicians including El Presidente himself are nothing better than mad scientists and voodoo priests. I am disgusted with the misuse of language to perpetuate damnable false concepts and ideology. I am talking about the word “economy”. First of all let us be clear that the “economy” is people, private citizens. It is not the duty or right of any level of government to ” stimulate” people by spending money. Think how absurd it would sound if everytime the word economy would ordinarily be used the terms private citizens, people, private sector, or business sector were used instead. The solemn duty of government is to protect the private sector by protecting the individual rights of the citizens who constitute the private sector to life, liberty, and property. This is the only positive contribution that government can make to society. This protective function creates a net gain to the prosperity of society. When government goes beyond this protective function there is a net decrease in prosperity. The reason this is true is simple. It is the private sector that creates wealth, not government. While it is true that the private sector also consumes wealth, it is government that consumes wealth without creating any. No more stimulation. Please! I’ve had all I can stand. Fly high and be free.

When I hear or see anybody or any organization proclaiming they are anti-war a red flag goes up and questions come to mind. I don’t recall in my lifetime anyone or any organization proclaiming theY were pro warr. You would just about have to be a psychopath to be pro war. Somtimes war is necessary. Just killing is sometimes necessary. War and killing is necessary in defense of life, liberty, and in some cases property. Probably the best example of a nessary war is WWII. German, Italian, and Japanese attempts to rule the world had to be resisted and defeated. I have, however, known of two idealogies that are pro war: global communism and global Islamic jihad.. Global communism failed partly because it was resisted and partly of its own lack of validity. Global Islamic jihad will ultimately fail for the same reasons but, in the meantime it must be resisted with military force just as the calculated spread of global communism was resisted until it ceased to advance its demonic murderous dictatorial conquests. Eventhough military power put a halt to the forceful annexation of countries it was ultimately the very nature of the corrupt untrue ideology that caused it to dramatically collapse when the citizens under its brutal control finally decided they had been held back for too long and just refused to submit anymore. The only countries where communism still rule are China, North Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba. Of these four only North Korea persists in extreme totalitarian rule with no permission given to any meaningful private capitalistic enterprise. Ultimately The “Hermit Kingdom” Of North Korea will crumble. Global Islamic rule will ultimately fail but it is difficult to predict how long it will take due to the fact that it persists in perpetuating itself as a religion all the while fully embracing all of the false ideas of global Communism. Many “anti war” champions just use the emotional appeal of pacifism to hide their socialist agenda since overtly supporting Communism is no longer in vogue. Let me make myself clear, their is no socialist on the face of this Earth that is more anti-war than I but I advocate fighting on a personal level and national collective level in defense of life, liberty, and property against those who would dare initiate force.

I am going to step out of character, go out on a limb, stick my neck out etc., etc., and do something I have previously stated I would not waste my time doing like the “talkers” on the broadcast media (prognosticate on politics). Keep in mind I am not going to predict a political outcome, just prognosticate. Even though I am first of all a philosopher and an advocate of fundamental well established principles and this website is dedicated with that in mind, I do feel a moral obligation to alert my fellow citizens when I see a potential danger that is not being discussed by the other information outlets. What I am leading up to is the possible repeat of what I call the “Ross Perot” phenomenon. Remember the whiny-voiced, egocentric, self important, Texas billionnaire who ran a third party campaign against Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush? Most people I believe would agree that the inclusion of Ross Perot in the general election handed the presidency to Bill Clinton. Now I am not going to make any argument one way or another that the country was better off or worse off with the election being thrown to Bill Clinton. The only point I am making is that in a close race a strong enough showing by a third candidate can determine which major party candidate wins. Millions of otherwise normal American voters fell for this Texan who couldn’t seem to talk without the use of euphomisms, and folksy cliches and parables. There are presently two well known high profile people who have been in the spotlight and pose a real theat to the electoral defeat of El Presidente Obama by running as an independent candidate. I am referring to billionnaire real estate mogul Donald Trump and tea party movement darling and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. First of all I’ll express my personal feelings about these two celebrities and then express my concern with the political danger they pose. I really have never liked Donald Trump but, never gave him much thought until he started playing in the game of politics. Now I have no choice but to give serious thought to him. Donald Trump is obviously a successful money maker but, when he presumes to consider offering himself to be president he shows himself to be somewhat of a blowhard idiot. His own words condemn him as such. He is definitely egocentric and really in love with himself. When El Presidente finally produced an alleged copy of his birth certificate he could not pat himself on the back enough in taking credit for El Presidente producing the document. Mr. Trump in his many speeches and interviews showed his lack of understanding of the economic catastrophe facing this country. I don’t recall even once hearing him mention the enormity of the overspending and overregulating of the federal government. In his world it’s OPEC and China that is the problem. His solution is to take over the petroleum of sovereign nations such as Iraq and to place a 25% import tariff on Chinese products. First of all the U.S. government has no constitutional or moral authority to seize any sovereign countries’s petroleum. Secondly a 25% tariff on Chinese imports is just more money for an irresponsible power hungry fed. govt. to squander and constitutes more tax on the American citizens. These proposals by Trump are ludicrous, without merit, and even childish. It ignores the real issue of fed. govt. overspending which has nothing to do with OPEC or China. Regarding Sarah Palin, I have always liked Sarah and still do but, I don’t understand her thinking when she hints at a third candidate run for the presidency. In contrast to Trump Sarah is a savvy former municipal and Alaska state government administrtor who understands that elimination of fed. govt. overspending, excessive regulation, and fascist central planning is the solution to the private business sector ( aka economy) malaise. I don’t understand how either one could think that if they didn’t get enough votes in the } Repub. primary to get the nomination that they could get enough Repub. and independent votes in the general election to beat Obama. I can only hope that they will realise that they should either run in the primary or not at all because both of them have enough populist appeal to take enough Repub. and independent votes to give Obama an easy reelection .That possibility is too horrible to think about.

Well, It’s April 2, 2011. I just found out on Fox News that after years of failed efforts Usama Bin Laden has been given the greatest reward that a devout Muslim can receive, death as a martyr for his god, guaranteed entry into paradise where he is promised 72 brown-eyed virgins to satisfy his sexual urges. After many years of fulfilling his duty of jihad(killing infidels) resulting in trmendous bloodshed and property destruction to the enemies of his god, prophet, and belief, he received the thing he loved more than life, death. Yes, that’s right by his own words they(meaning himself and all jihadists) love death more than life. All these years the might of the world’s only super power was squandered trying to hunt down one demented Jihadist-in-chief as if with his capture or execution the global mayhem perpetrated by the Islamic jihadists will just come to a screeching halt. Former president George Bush was a fool to place so much importance on eliminating Bin Laden. He set himself up for failure. The slimy slippery murderous Islamic fundamentalist had the accumulated experience of many years of escape and elusion to rely on in addition to the unwavering support of millions of admirers willing to give him safe haven. The killing of Bin Laden is certainly justified and proper but, hardly a “big deal”. There is an endless supply of crafty slinky lying Islamic jihadists anxious to carry on the glorious goal to impose global Islamic rule. If that means Killing every infidel in the world, that’s fine and dandy with them. Call me cynical if you will but, I don’t give Obama credit for ordering the elimination of UBL because based on all the destructive policies of El Presidente I firmly believe he did it for political reasons. He was certainly quick to grab all the credit for himself and then he had the arrogance to say the citizens’ don’t need to see the death and burial photos because we(meaning American citizens, his employer) don’t want to be seen by the Islamic world as “spiking the ball” as in scoring a touchdown in football. Well, this American citizen employer has news for El Presidente, I couldn’t care less about what the universe of Islamic jihadists would think if the death and burial photos were released. They are already willing to blow themselves up in order to kill and destroy anything unIslamic. If they can ever get their hands on a nuclear device they would have to have a lottery to see who would have the glory of “strapping on ) so to speak, the device and vaporise New York City. How could any sane person think that showing the death and burial photos of a blood thirsty narcissistic warlord would increase the amount of violence continually being plotted and perpetrated against the nonIslamic world?
