Competition is American. Don't you agree?

Americans love football. And what's even better is a hard fought struggle where the underdog with a severe disadvantage... but with heart, courage and determination inches past the favored team to victory. Football fans have always loved the underdog because of those displays of personal fortitude and teamwork. The Jets winning Superbowl III is one many remember. I recall a game last year... Jacksonville State, a team on the brink of being disbanded beats Ole Miss 49-48 on an unbelievable performance by their quarterback and the equally courageous call to go for two to win by the coach. I was watching the game in a room of people as it happened... and having no idea of who Jacksonville State was, who played on the team or even where they were located... spontaneously everyone became Jacksonville State fans and then everyone in the room started jumping up for joy at the amazing effort. It truly was a golden moment in football and no one had to be told... they knew.





But would Americans love football very much if every year the same team won? Would anyone even care? Would we see innovations like the Wishbone, the forward pass, the hurry up offense, or the 46 if the winner of every game was already determined before the game was played? There's no doubt about it. HELL NO!!

More over, if the team that won the championship every year was ...say... Ohio State as an example. Would it also then be justified to declare Ohio St. the master of all sports... and then all college academics? Would we put Ohio St. in charge of University building design, book approval, college loans, dress codes and even what cheers people could utter? After all, they are supreme!

Football wouldn't be very exciting and in fact, as Ohio St. crept into every aspect of college life, college life would probably start becoming more sad and depressing. Even being  a Ohio St. fan wouldn't be all that exciting because more than likely, people would stop coming.

So, seeing the declining attendance and morale... what if Ohio St. forced people to show up... to buy tickets to the games... to cheer for the home team... even though they would know Ohio St. would eventually always prevail. Would you think the crowd would be any more excited? Would the players be very motivated? Would they even care? I doubt the players would be spending nights and weekends on the game plan, practicing or working out in the weight room. More than likely, the players would end up being very lazy and the fans would probably start getting testy!

And that in a bottle is exactly the problem with our government. They've taken all the fun out because they allowed one group to always be the winner. No, it's not Ohio St., it's called the Federal Reserve. They are the only ones who can counterfeit money legally. Print money out of thin air. And they're the one's who ultimately control the credit to do anything. Got a great idea? Without financing... that idea won't go very far. There are no Joe Namath's winning the Superbowl and no Jacksonville State stories in the American economy anymore.

Is it any wonder why the economy is headed in the direction it's going? It's boring us all to tears! Shear drudgery! We know who wins every time! We've been prisoners to this for nearly 100 years now.


So it's up to you America... Do you love football? ...Yes! Do you love nail biting competition? ... Yes! Do you love seeing heart, skills, innovation, creativity, courage, determination put to the test every time a team steps on the field? ... Absolutely!   Then the solution is right in front of you!   .... it's time to End the Fed!!!

A Real Education... a way back for the sheeple and the economy.

It is certainly true that an education system is the engine that drives an economy in innovation and technology. But for more than 100 years... the majority of the "educated" have been indoctrinated into being good worker bees. This is the Prussian model. It's been in the US for over 100 years and promoted by the government as well as the globalists behind the scenes.

Another method, that dates far back is called the "Trivium". It uses the natural method of learning and building upon knowledge to logic and wisdom. Rather than attempt to explain it more I'll just refer you to notes that do a much better job. Trivium and Quadrivium Cliff Notes by Gene Odening

Why are Ninjas invisible?

Invisibility is the state of an object that cannot be seen.

A Ninja was a covert agent or mercenary of feudal Japan specializing in unorthodox arts of war. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, as well as open combat in certain situations. The ninja, using covert methods of waging war, were contrasted with the samurai, who had strict rules about honor and combat. In his Buke Myōmokushō, military historian Hanawa Hokinoichi writes of the ninja:
They travelled in disguise to other territories to judge the situation of the enemy, they would inveigle their way into the midst of the enemy to discover gaps, and enter enemy castles to set them on fire, and carried out assassinations, arriving in secret.

Sun Tzu's The Art of War
Chapter 1: Laying Plans Point 18:  "All Warfare is based on Deception."
Chapter 2: Waging War Point 6 and 19 "There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare." "In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns." (Strike swiftly and decisively)
Chapter 5: Energy Point 15: "Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow; decision, to the releasing of a trigger."
"Chapter 7: Maneuvering  Point 19: "Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt."

What one sees isn't necessarily what is reality. But many times people are easily lead to see what they want to believe.
