   OPED WARNING

   The every-man candidate. I know you guys are absolutely sick and tired of hearing me talk about this and that when it comes to “every-man” anything but hear me out now. There’s to it I promise you. Ok so everyone knows that we have Donald Trump in the presidency and he’s probably the closest we’ve had to an everyman the way I’d explain it in recent memory.

           Now what do I mean by every-man candidate you say? No, you fucking don’t, lets be honest you’re sitting there telling me to get to the damn point. Ok, we’ve had billionaires, we’ve had both parties…and some idiots back in the day that wanted to call their party the whigs. There was probably a deep meaningful reason but to me right now that’s like a new party coming out of nowhere calling themselves “the weave”. We had a black president…in MY own opinion he was one of the worst, not the worst if you read my last blog.

           But what I mean by an every-man candidate is something that is something completely different. We’re American for fucks sake. We work hard, we all know we’re American, but then we fight over who’s got the most Irish heritage, because we’re a nation of immigrants, or who’s more of a mut than the other. We started off the revolutionary war with getting aggravated at the country that brought our forefathers here like a bunch of teenagers by chucking their shit in to the ocean and flipping them the bird. We’re only eloquent when we absolutely have to be, but in day to day life we love to laugh about the absolutely most horrible shit because we all know life sucks and there’s nothing you can do about it. And we want to protect it.

           Time and time again, however, we’re told that we have to elect from a selected pool of people that keep running for congress to be president. Now we have a billionaire in office that speaks his mind. Lets be honest, he fucks up, but he doesn’t do it intentionally, he had no fucking clue what the hell he was doing when he ran. He was sick of the establishment. He was going about his normal day to day billionaire life collecting money from all his properties and watching people get screwed over by the government and said “Hey I think I want to change that.” And that’s the closest we can get?

           No, I’m sorry look a little bit further. Trump did open our eyes that we gotta do a little leg work and do our own research so why the hell not. Ummmm, George Washington? No. No fucking way.

           Ok, well lets go down the list. He wasn’t involved with the Boston Tea Party directly, but he was one of the founding fathers. I guess that could be a check, but not an every-man check. Turns out his family owned slaves…uh oh, ok bad start. That was before the revolutionary war, ok so not a good thing by todays standards…back then eh…still immoral to us so lets do a little digging on that one.

           I don’t think owning a slave is a good thing. Bar none. We’re not the only one’s to do it. The Chinese have done it, the middle easterners have done it, westerners have done it. Hell before England got to Africa they were enslaving the Irish, ask me how I know (hint I’m third generation Irish here). So lets talk about context. Was it like “Django Unchained”? Did his slaves get treated bad, oh yeah let me go across the street and talk to one of them. I can’t so I have to do the next best thing, historians. No I’m not going to have sex with one of them! From what I could gather, as best as I could not only did he treat them as amazingly as he could, George Washington worked in the fields with them.

           Yeah he had money to buy slaves…but it was kind of his fathers gig. That’s where most of the slaves came from. He felt bad about the whole thing as a matter of fact. Right before he died, before we even fought the civil war, before England caught off the slave trade George Washington had in his will that when his wife died all his slaves would be freed. Cool, so that isn’t so bad right? Doesn’t seem that bad to me to be honest, not the greatest, but not that bad.

           So ignoring the slave part, we know that George Washington could have sat there in the plantation house with his old man and sipped some southern sweet tea while watching the slaves. But instead he decided to go ahead and pick up a scythe and get at it just as hard as they did as long as they did from as many written down eyewitness reports as I found. George Washington busts his ass for work, that’s American as hell.

           How about empathy? So that’s one of the most underrated things about us Americans. Empathy gets us in to trouble ALL the fucking time, it’s the reason why we end up in foreign wars, and get manipulated by fucked up politicians, ahem Woodrow Wilson. What? I can’t let a dead dog lay. George Washington, though, only married once from what I could tell. Never had any kids, none at all…well none of his own.

           You see he married this one chick named Martha. Insert “Batman V. Superman” reference here. She was a widow, back in the day that made you an outcast. For christ sakes your husband could have died of cancer or measles and as a woman you were socially blamed for his death. All the bullshitery of the 1700’s behind, she had two kids from the man that had died when she was married to him. From what literally every historian says good ol’ Georgey boy here didn’t want any more kids cause he already had two. He viewed the two children Martha came as his own and became a diligent stepfather. You know the kind the crowd coos over on “Jerry Springer” for being a good dad when the other, ahem, “goes out for milk”.

           Ok, hard work, empathy. Both American as fuck. I would add standing up for what you believe in…but come on, do I really god damned have to? Revolutionary War ring any bells here people? How about this one. George Washington is famously known for not wanting to be President. Seriously, he didn’t want the job. To add on top of everything he was pretty much forced in to the role because of the moral fiber he was made of. You know, the good stuff. I’d say that’s kind of a check. So here we’re three checks so far that seem pretty American…and for the most part more every-man than pretty much every other president that we’ve had since him…and that’s 44 others.

           I probably could keep on going about the every-man candidate George Washington was, but I got something else for ya. We’ve come close to having every-man candidates since then. Out of all the presidents we’ve had we’ve actually had some that were just as broke as Washington, if not more. But mysteriously ended up getting more money after the presidency…kind of like Biden, ahem.

           Harry S. Truman, Calvin Coolidge, Woodrow Wilson…oh my hate boner is getting even harder now…Chester A Arthur, who in the fuck is that, and James A. Garfield. Those are pretty close to the brokest presidents we’ve had. If you look at them individually though their not all aligned with the every-man, American values that I, and probably you at this point, believe a president should have.

           So what do I think a president should be when it comes to an every man president? Well here, there’s going to be a part two on some of the things that I think would look great in practice as well on paper but I’ll give you a little taste.

           Someone who grew up in the ghetto, or a trailer park. Someone who sincerely had to work in a factory or manufacturing. Farming could do it to, but it’s not like you can’t relate to farmers on a hard days work, maybe not the same type of work but you still have to spend 12 hours or more busting your ass to feed yourself and/or your family. Someone who’s been homeless.

           Haha! I threw you off with that one huh? Well let me clarify that one. I know from experience myself. I’m a veteran for those of you who don’t know. I got out, I didn’t know what the world outside of the military was like when I did get out, so I had to adapt, and adapt quickly. It sucked and I couldn’t do it quick enough. I had a wife and one son at the time. I would like to have someone that knows what it’s like, in office, to sit in a shelter being regimented by a bunch of people that are social workers and that went to school that tell you they know exactly what your experiences are.

           No you don’t and you never will. My experiences are my own. So, Mr. Every-man president lets work together on getting together with the states on smoothing out the process of I don’t know…foodstamps, medicare, Medicaid, and all that other shit. Lets help men get help with getting in to shelters when they have to go to work and make child support too. How does that sound? Being homeless and being among the homeless, or in a trailer park/ ghetto kind of helps you understand that shit better a hell of a lot more than a degree ever will.

           Here’s one for you. I don’t want my every-man candidate to be squeaky clean either. I don’t want him to have a felony. Haha no I don’t want Mr. Murderer in the Whitehouse, only every-man. I want someone that knows what it’s like to be on the other side of the cops so he knows what it’s like to both fear and respect the cops. An absolute every-man. No manipulation, someone that says “I’m sick of this politician shit”, that’s been through hell and genuinely wants to fix shit because he loves this country just as much as you and I do.

  OPED WARNING

“My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop the Fire Nation.” Oh yeah, I’m going to get that dorky with it today!

So, here’s the spiel, we’re divided as ever. The left hates the right, liberals hate “nazis”, or “fascists”, or “racists” …or whatever the hell it is now and days. But there’s something to be said about coming together. I’m sorry but no matter what news source you look at whether it be CNN, or Newsmax…or Fox News, then you’re inevitably going to come up with one conclusion. We’re divided. The only real thing that you’re going to see is the source of the division from network to network.

I know, I know, you’re tired about hearing all of this bullshit by now. Got it, and I am too damn it…but hear me out on this one. This is classically, no comically standard procedure, and probably something that all of us have seen before. One look at my FACTS section and you’ll know where I’m going with this. I personally thought about it for a moment and started laughing my ass off about the whole thing myself!

So yeah, Star Wars, and Starship Troopers. Something everyone knows, and probably loves to hell. Well if you take a close look at everything you start to see a pattern. Back when “Lucasfilms” came out with the prequels of the series that everyone, except my goofy ass, hated they tried to explain how the galaxy was as fucked as it was. Back in the beginning of everything, regarding the prequels, it was kind of calm and had the normal shenanigans going on in politics. You know, a little corruption here, a lobbyist there, special interests for specific politicians popping up all over the place, normal stuff.

Well the biggest thing that popped up was the clone wars. I understand that it didn’t really kick off until episode II but stick with me on this. There was major upheaval. One man, spoiler alert…if you didn’t already know, Senator Palpatine rose through the ranks to prominence. In the background he was manipulating something that they call “the outer rim”, or a special group of planets in the galaxy that weren’t part of the “Galactic Republic”. Think of like a foreign interest’s type of thing. Not to long after that war broke out between a group in “the outer rim” and the “Galactic Republic” called the clone wars.

Yes, we’ve got little Anakin Skywalker, emotional little shit bag, and Padme Amidala as the protagonist’s along with young Obi-Wan Kenobi. There’s something to be said about the main political shit going on around the same time and the division it caused amongst the masses though. Basically while the “Clone Wars” were going on you still had senators going “rabble rabble” in one big hall that represented their planet and then Senator Palpatine inching his ass in to the Supreme Chancellor spot…or I guess their version of a president? Anyways slowly but surely, he started to use the war itself as a springboard to slowly limit the powers of the individual citizens, then BAM! Out comes the “Galactic Empire” that we’re all familiar with and the still evermore moody Anakin Skywalker now Darth Vader.

Ok, I think we’re all caught up now. The reason why I say that there was a major division going on here that made me laugh is that this all sounds vaguely familiar. Right now, as it is, we have a group of elites in Washington D.C. that are pretty much dictating what and who we are as individuals along with what we say socially. Take a look at the news I’ll wait. Are you back yet?

Alright, the real big thing that I looked in to as hard as I could was what the main doctrine of the Galactic Republic had as its backbone. I couldn’t find it exactly so I had to pull some crime show forensic shit to figure out what the hell was going on, and why was it so easy for that form of government to be broken up. Well looking at it they did have a “constitution”, but from everything I could find it was basically weak as hell. Point one for America right there.

It was nothing during a time of war for Palpatine to just waltz right in and declare himself the Supreme Chancellor. He still had to divide the senate and get them to argue amongst each other. Cause a little chaos here, question the morals of a specific candidate. Ahem…call in to question the freaking Supreme Chancellor Valurum, the guy before him. There ya go, bad guy in office for the movies to continue.

The part that really started to get me laughing though was the way everything was set up after I started to do my research for this blog. They had almost the exact same set up we did. “Office of the Chancellor”, “Galactic Senate”, “Judicial Department”. If you ask me that kind of sounds like the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Well I think that one might be a draw…maybe. Hold up, all the power was easily transferable to the Galactic Senate, because red tape. Yup, they put out all this shit that pretty much made it easy for them to grab power from anyone and everyone they wanted to through bureaucracy. As a matter of fact, Palpatine our good old Sith buddy here added more on to it.

One thing that I’m pretty sure everyone else knows, even though we’ve got a shit ton of red tape going through our own government here it’s damn near impossible to do that from any one of our three branches. They try, they always do, but because of the constitution of the United States of America, ahem, “You will fail!” I’m sorry that was just way to damn easy not to do.

So to say that we’re close to but not quiet like the Star Wars franchise is kind of funny. Yes, we are. We’re not exactly like space traveling ninjas that can do some pretty cool looking Dragon Ball Z stuff, nor are our two governmental systems EXACTLY alike, but we have something that they have and it’s political officials causing both division and derision with in our own society.

Palpatine isn’t just one specific person with in our own in real life society. Hell no! Instead he’s an amalgamation of several different things and groups we have going on right now. Social justice warriors, the ones that want to sit there and tell you that we have to accept the what is told to us by their community because no matter the situation they are right and we are wrong and that’s the way we’ve set it up for, I don’t know, millennia now. There’s the politicians that placate to the exact same kind of bullshit that’s been reiterated by the social justice warriors and those who are from the opposite that lets be honest here kind of issue the same rhetoric and year after year slowly increase government power and their paychecks.

There’s also, and you know I don’t like these folks here, big tech. I’m all for a company growing in the free market. I’m all for it becoming a big conglomerate of sorts. What I’m not for is that company monopolizing the market that it’s in, nor am I for that company not obeying the laws of its country of origin. Oh! Yeah almost forgot, here’s the liberal in me if you want to put it that way, I’m also not for these companies blatantly censoring those of a creed, race, political choice, religion, or country of origin. We should all have freedom of speech and be willing to accept the consequences of our actions no matter what caused them. All of those factors and groups are our Palpatine.

One thing that my ass is definitely going to talk about here is the Galactic Republic a little more. If you take a deeper dive in to the Star Wars franchise, you’ll notice something as well. Doing research about the whole Galactic Republic, and then the Galactic Empire there was a promise that further divided people. The promise of safety.

Granted everyone wants to be safe. Hell, I want to be safe, but there’s something to be said about HOW you are safe. Call me heated now because damn this is going to be a touchy one. Are you anymore safer if you relinquish how you are safe? Are you any safer in your very free mind if you have someone forcibly tell you how to be safe? I’m sorry but my answer is always going to be no. As should yours. The Galactic Republic, much like our own government, slowly eroded its own power through bureaucratic policy after bureaucratic policy. Even in the movies you can blatantly see them do this in the few scenes that they hold in the movies. Hell, one of the most famous movie quotes is “So this is how liberty dies…with thunderous applause.”

I’m sorry but there’s always one sure fire way to be able to get people to commit to that, make them afraid then divide them. We see it play out plenty of times a day here in our own country. The news reports things out of context, or completely false on both sides. Legislatures and other government officials will add more laws to try and cover up what we as a nation had as one of our founding documents. Then the radicals from either side will sit there and either fight against it with their utmost or tell the general population that there needs to be more.

It’s not right. Now there is a flipside to this coin. Militarism. And here’s the little gobblety goop that caused me to take pause and add in Starship Troopers to this whole mess. This whole series started off as a book that was written by Robert A. Heinlein. Don’t ask, I don’t know how to seriously pronounce his name. But I’m pretty sure that not many of my readers will know who the hell that is. I’m pretty sure that my readers would know more about the comical movie that was made in the nineties. I sure as hell didn’t know that there was a book written before the movie.

Now I say “Militarism” because that’s pretty much what Starship Troopers is all about. And it sure as hell mirrors other things that are going on now and days as well. The left has been militarized to form groups like “Antifa”. The right now has groups that won’t start a fight, nor are they racist, but sure as hell will finish a fight like “The Proud Boys”. Don’t get me wrong I have no issues with the proud boys, however I don’t think that their answer is quiet the right one. Some of the things that both groups do that could end up looking like some engagement on “Klendathu”.

Basically, though, in the 1950’s this writer Robert A. Heinlein wrote a sci-fi critique of what he believed was wrong with the U.S. at the time. He’d been stated for “glorified the military…Specifically the P.B.I., Poor Bloody Infantry, the mudfoot who places his frail body between his loved home and the wars desolation-but is rarely appreciated…he has the toughest job of all and should be honored.” Cool so he’s a fan of the military right? Well not so fast there. I, as a veteran of the Army, wouldn’t stand for the bullshit in the movies that he put out.

You’re only a citizen if you’ve served two years in the Starship Troopers military. Only citizens can vote. Only citizens have the right to apply for a license to procreate with their partner. I’m sorry but that would be more towards the right side of things. I can’t name a single military veteran that would actually be cool with that. Yeah democrats getting into our highest position in the executive offices would absolutely mean budget cuts. Oh, and that means that they end up drawing back on forces or start kicking out soldiers for the simplest or pettiest of reasons. No that’s not a way to go ahead and start doing things either.

See the thing about Heilein here is that he had a very crazy view on things. He looked at the way that the U.S. was at the time and thought “hey we need to hand out more ass whoopin’s.” I’m sorry what? Yes, that’s right, the guy who wrote Starship Troopers thought that there wasn’t enough corporal and capital punishment now and days.

Now if you said something like all around I might could get around that if we were talking a little less harsh corporal punishments than used to be passed around back in the day. The women suffrage movement should have been an example for just women, but for everyone. We don’t need a repeat of the “rule of thumb” for the next poor soul that fucks up in a way that’s irredeemable to their partner. No, I’m down with corporal punishment if it’s with less severe crimes than the big ones. You know rape, child molestation, man slaughter, stuff like that. I think that we can all agree that child molestation needs to be more punishable than “three squares and a cot”.

But one thing that we’ve shied away from what we use to be, and it caused us as a nation. I’m not suggesting that we all of a sudden put Rico on the stocks and start whipping him. It was negligible homicide, and he didn’t know what he was doing leave the poor kid alone. No, if you really want to keep people together first you have to start with a set of minds that things need to be more punishable than they are. Go ahead and call the child molester out and sentence him to death. It’s been proven that its more cost effective to our jail system anyways, and who in their right or left mind wouldn’t want to protect their own children?

No people, one less murderer is still one less murderer. Make sure there’s a time period where they do a more in-depth investigation to make sure that we’ve got the right guy. Make sure that there weren’t any false allegations handed forward against the person you say is a child molester. But if you’re caught selling drugs to someone that you know are illegal and could get the person addicted then you should absolutely not be a seamstress getting that “three squares and a cot”. No hell no, but the person’s ass to work, make them take responsibility for what they did. Put their ass to work like we use to with chain gangs, there’s plenty of substantive materials that we could use the jail systems help on producing.

Of course, the libertarian in me is going to cry out…right…about…now! There’s something to be said though about repealing other things away. No direct profit for any given company in regard to the labor put for by the “chain gang”. Give the profit nation wide to those we put to labor, have them reap some sort of reward. You commit to A form of corporal punishment and rehabilitate them at the same time. Win, win.

Now that I’m off of my little pulpit there’s something that goes back to topic here. In Starship Troopers there’s one agreement that I can make with author. Some conflicts have to be resolved by force. One thing that I will absolutely agree and disagree with at the same time. We didn’t need to go to Iraq, but we did need to go to Afghanistan. There were terrorists that were wreaking havoc on the whole of Afghanistan and in order for those people to chose for themselves what and who they want to be we needed to weed that shit out. No, we didn’t go there to do that originally. Yes, we went there to get Osama Bin Laden. But it was something that once we found we couldn’t stand for as a nation.

So yes, I agree that if we have an incursion against us, like 9/11, then we have to retaliate just like we did or what happened in Pearl Harbor. But when we find further injustice and the people cry out, well fuck if they ask us for aide then it’s our responsibility to answer. Hell, no should we be looking for “WMD’s”. We all figured out what the ploy was there real quick. Yes, they had a dictator that was gassing them pretty much every day. But the responsibility belongs to those countries around them to take refugee’s and protect them.

So, there’s absolutely an answer to all this division we have…and yeah, we see it all the time in our media. We have to sit on our high horse as a nation and as a people and first cut the division bullshit and then stop being like “Star Wars” or “Starship Troopers” and agree to disagree. I parrot this bullshit all day long and damn near every freaking blog. We need the third party, libertarians, to go ahead and help things along so that the two warring political parties we have right now don’t divide and conquer us. We see this all the time in our movies and books. We have a choice, do we still want looting, rioting, and others reaching across the isle to call each other names and censor them…Or do we want to be like Palpatine and start the first “Galactic Empire” and make everyone fear us?

        OPED WARNING

Well…this has been an interesting week. First, we had god’s knows how many press conferences, and then the senate hearing from hell. Wow just wow. I’ve seen it all from senators literally asking for Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg to censor people they don’t like, to Senator Ted Cruz going ham on them. I swear I remember when I was a kid that “The Ozzburnes” used to be a great and wacky MTV show that we’d watch just to laugh at how crazy they were…but this, this tops it.

So, here’s the gist, I spent my sweet ass time specifically transcribing two different senators’ “conversation” with Mark Zuckerberg, and Jack Dorsey. God damn my hand hurts; this is what I get for being a lefty I swear. But it was Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Hawley…who I’ve never heard of before, that I was really interested in.

As a free loving Libertarian, I love it when the oppressors get their due diligence so of, fucking, course I was tuned in to Ted Cruz’s ass chewing of Jack Dorsey. Who wasn’t? But around the eleventh or twelfth time I watched it with popcorn in hand I started to really think about what the hell they were talking about.

-Sen. Cruz

           -“They have a monopoly on public discourse in the online arena.”

I mean yeah, they kind of do, but we’ve been railing against that pretty hard for a while, now haven’t we? Well I mean no, not really. Look at it this way, we had a group of guys called the robber baron’s early on in our history. These assholes are the exact reason why we have laws against monopolies right now…well that and Edison and a couple of others. But if we had been railing hard against them why the fuck wouldn’t we just break them up? I mean it’s public knowledge that Abc owns Google, which owns Youtube, and that kind of seems a little monopolistic to me…fuck no it looks a hell of a lot like it never mind.  Well we need the government to step in on this one and break them up. Shit part about it all, I agree with Senator Ted Cruz when he says;

           -“consistently the message from senate democrats…is for Facebook and Twitter and Google to censor more. To abuse their power more, to silence voices that senate democrats disagree with more. That is dangerous…”

That shit struck a chord with me hardcore. I mean I personally have a Twitter as you all might know, and I’ve actually had some of my tweets censored. And to be honest with all the shit that we’ve got going on with the election I’d love to stop hearing about how this or that is illegal. Nah fam, give me the facts let me make up my own damn mind and don’t tell me what to do…kind of the American way of things ya know?

So then I looked at all the shit that’s going on around the country today. We got reports from Trumps legal team just yesterday is that the votes we got going on during elections go through a god damned riggamaru of channels to be counted in a different country. That shit aint cool man.

           -“And yet there’s an absolute silence from democrats speaking up for the press outlets censored by Big Tech.”

Yeah Senator Cruz we all heard about the New York Post shit, that wasn’t cool at all. And if I’m being honest mad suspicious. But what’s worse is the fact, that I think I’ve stated before, Twitter and Facebook are about the only damn ways for a candidate no matter the political affiliation can reach their peeps. I mean it’s the first time in history we don’t have to go watch a damn press conference, which nobody but my dumbass does, to hear from our nation’s leaders. All we get out of this deal is shit that we might not even agree with because Twitter and Facebook just want to block or completely lock out some of our senators or their war on Trump. Here’s a novel idea, if you want to go ahead and hate on President Trump, and you think he’s an idiot, then let him go ahead and make himself look like an idiot to the people?

           -“…that’s a totalitarian instinct, that I think is very dangerous.”

           -“…Big Tech exercises massive power, it also enjoys massive cooperate well fair. Through the effect of section 230.”

Ok Senator Cruz. Look we’ve all heard that damned section 230 thrown around, I know that the hearings are all about it, but who’s actually gone to the government website and looked at it. First off it was actually something to amend this bullshit “Communications Act” we had that had been around since 1934. Second, it’s a specific part of something called “Communications Decency act of 1996”. Oh man did I have to do my digging on that one.

I found a couple of gems when I looked at the REAL section 230. The first thing it goes over is “to promote the continued development of the internet and other interactive computer services and other interactive media.” Ok cool, so that would be Twitter and Facebook…I can kind of see how Google got lumped in to that one. That’s any and all kind of social media really, so if you put your best-looking pics on the internet or your opinion well then section 230 is talking about the shit you use.

So, when it comes to the whole outline of section 230, it’s real fucking loose. I’d hate to say it but man our forefathers had a lot of foresight to back up with the huge balls of theirs. But in any case, the next part I was going to talk about was part 2; “To preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by federal or state regulation”. Um, we have an issue here man.

There’s a back door that no one foresaw in this little tidbit…and one of the reasons why I’m all for section 230 reform…and it’s not the same reason as some of the senators, Ted Cruz’s ass chewing beautiful despite this. Basically, the way that I’m looking at it, gives all the companies that get all their money and base their products through the internet the free pass to “do what ever the hell you want. Let me explain this one. So back in the early days of this country we wanted a free market, right? Cool let’s go for it! Then monopolies came about, and the leaders of the country basically said “Hold your shit robber baron. You mean to tell me that you went ahead and bought out all of your competition pretty much own the market? That aint fucking cool dude!”

There’s a couple of others out there that we needed regulation for that were headed in that direction, like Thomas Edison, poor Tesla. And that second part that I can see doesn’t really speak great volumes to me. Basically, that nullifies the governments ability to break up monopolies. Yes, people are getting censored on the most prevalent platforms, and Amazon can effectively shut out anyone they don’t like product wise alongside Google. If you ask me though that shouldn’t be the main part of attack. If you do it within reason I believe that there should be a form of government towards the internet.

We have good moral companies that follow the constitution like Parler, or Minds, but that’s not going to cut it as long as the “Big Tech” companies hang around for long. See these companies are so massive right now and pretty much have found a way to buy out all their competition that it’s bleeding from the internet to the real world. If that isn’t too much power, then show me where the hell Goku went Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan please? Yes, I’m that much of a dork. No I’m sorry, the senators on the right are doing a good thing by showing the corruption that’s embroiled in the “Big Tech” companies, but they’re not doing the right thing here or attacking it in the right way.  

Ted Cruz himself said it the best: “Congress has given ‘Big Tech’ in effect a subsidy while they become some of the wealthiest corporations on the face of the planet.” No shit sherlock, it’s not just the democrats, it’s the republicans too! If you tell a company, no matter the type of business, that you can make money with out government interference then they’re going to make money. It’s just like telling an addict that he has unlimited money, and he’ll never get sick or die what in the living hell do you think is going to happen?

Maybe I’m looking at it wrong. I have not a damn clue, but what I do know is that is a glaring issue I would have taken up on. I know, I know I’m Libertarian. “You guys believe in free market though!” Yes, little Johnny we do, but not all of us are all in on an UNREGULATED free market. I just happen to be one of those. I’m one of the proponents that believe in a free market so long as there’s a healthy economic competition to back it up, and so far I can’t see any to go along with anything related to the internet.

The only slight amount of foresight that I saw in the congress that came a little after a century with the robber barons’ shit was this; “(B) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1)”. That’s basically laying out that “Don’t do anything bad against what we already said.” And it’s utterly ignorant on the side of the congress that laid it out to, because at the end of the day you already went ahead and said there was going to pretty much be no government interference. So what are you going to do to your kid after he breaks your window cause he was playing ball in the house…wave your finger at him? I’m sorry if you got your ass torn up as a kid you already know what I’m going to say, “Big Tech” needs a paddle on their ass.

Of course, I’ll say this, it was nice to see the ass chewing they got. Yes, Jack Dorsey pretty much just ignored everything that Ted Cruz and the other senators had to say. But to hear from a senator saying the same thing that we’ve been saying is a little vindicating. It’s said though, that it pretty much going to add up to “Batman V. Superman” and there’s going to be absolutely no Martha moment. That’s unless congress can pull their heads out their ass’s and take a better longer look at section 230. I’m sorry even the best people we do have in government aren’t perfect. As constituents of theirs we should be calling them up and leaving messages on their office phones or with their secretaries yelling at them to see what we see. We are the people they represent, so it’s time we pull our own heads out of our own ass’s and do it.

 OPED-WARNING

             Ok, there’s a lot going on here. I had my grandstanding moment and while I’m going to keep on pumping out my opinions based on as much fact as I can. So here we go, benfords law. I’m sure that everyone’s heard the term, if you haven’t you’ve heard all the other shit going on about the election now and days. Yes, it’s true, we have the election still going on right now. NO MATTER WHAT THE MEDIA SAYS RIGHT NOW.

           “But Mr. Barbarian, how else would I know who won the election?” Well my completely fake and innocent quotation I’ll tell you just how. Do your own research. I had to, granted it was a little before now, but it’s a lot better than the crap that the media’s gonna peddle to you now and days.

           See I’ve heard and seen a lot of horse crap because of this election. The left/liberal/democrat side of things will absolutely claim Joe Biden won. The right/republican/conservative side of things will tell you it’s not won yet. Some of those who’ve been stuck in the middle will tell you “Well hey normally I don’t agree with media, but I want this to be all over…so fuck it Biden’s president elect.” Or something to akin to that.

           Well here’s the issue, none of the sides are wrong only one part of it is. Ok so we know it was Biden v. Trump for the presidency. We also know…ahem…that things are a little fishy with the mainstream media/big tech who I absolutely adore *complete sarcasm*. To some extent they’re right at the moment, or they would be any other year.

           We’ve gotten so complacent that when we’ve had presidential elections in the past there was one clear and obvious winner between the two candidates. When all the poll’s, accept this year, projected a winner the media would go ahead and tell you who was going to be our new president elect. But there’s a stipulation to that. They didn’t tell you what had to be done before he became the actual president elect.

           There’s a whole process of which all the votes still have to be counted. After that he or she still had to get approved by congress after that was all said and done. At the same time if there was to much of a lead between the two candidates the loosing side would normally just concede. What we have here, is in my mind, a normal election cycle for the president.

           We’ve had over a couple of decades at this point of the lead being so high that the looser just gives up. Its kind of like being in a football game, looking at the scoreboard and deciding that because the other team has a big ass lead on you, you’re just gonna give up. That’s not normal for any damn football game I’ve seen…and I’m a Vikings fan, we lose A LOT! Hell, we don’t even have a Lombardi trophy to our damn name. Anyways, that’s what the hell our chosen few that want to run for president have been doing for…probably almost a century now.

           Yeah, we had the whole Florida thing in 2000, but really all that came down to was “Oops I fucked up the programming. My bad guys!” Not to mention that was a special case and it took 36-37 days to fix that shit. This election year though is a whole different game. We’ve got two teams sitting there trying to win and it’s a tied score.

           Um…that was oversimplifying it. No, there’s no way to “every-man” this one. Ok so basically, we’re starting off with a tied score between Trump and Biden. There was some crazy shit that went on during the game though. Some people were told to use sharpies on their ballots when it could have actually made the things not read in the machine. There’s little evidence on that one, they were talking about it days before the election. There’s the whole observer thing, where they were only allowed to be 20 feet away, then they were supposed to be 6 feet away but never got the chance.

           There’s a lot of shit. Now in this game Trump can completely call the ref on his bullshit. Hey if you feel like it will give you the edge and you feel like it will help you win as a competitive person go for it. Are they legitimate? Well that’s what we got the courts for, if they aren’t well then Trump looks like a big ass with yolk on his face. Nuff said.

           The one that I knew nothing about that keeps popping up though was this “benfords law” bullshit though. I had to take a good hard long look at it. I went back to school, cracked open my dusty ass math book and said, “What in the fuck is benfords law?” Now I know. And for once I’d hate to say it fellow Trump supporters but it’s one that we shouldn’t be putting out there. Yes, I want Trump to be president for another four years. No, I do not like Biden at all cause he’s full of shit. This “benfords law” thing though…it uh…it made us all look like a bunch of dumb asses though.

           Basically what it says is if you have enough numbers in the real world, or data, at random one of the biggest things you’ll see is that the number 1 is going to pop up the most. Well looking at the graphs from the election, a couple of the graphs for good ol’ Sleepy have other numbers at a greater value than 1. Someone that I guess heard the name “benfords law” or knew about it loosely said that Sleepy’s votes are violating a basic mathematics law.

           We’re all shitty to each other right now. Everyone’s pointing a finger or trying to piss the other off or just emotional over the election, then that shit came out. We saw it, we ran with it, we posted it. Well there’s a catch to our pal benford, there has to be enough variety to the data that you have. Que? What nonsense are you talking about here? Well um, turns out that yes there were a couple of counties that reported this shit…but not in one state…in completely different states. One we knew we’d lose Illinois, the other in PA, and then another in Michigan.

           Just one county that I could find specifically in each state. I could be wrong, there could be a little more in each state, but that’s all I found. We’d pretty much have to have about 90-95% of the whole damn state for “benfords law” to kick in. Yeah, they use it for elections and shit, but they also use it for tax fraud as well. They kind of use it for all of us that pay our taxes and then get that sweet return at the end of the year. The government puts all the numbers together then averages them out then see who’s sticking up to high on the graph numerically that doesn’t make sense to “benfords law”, then they do an audit of the person.

           With that said this “benfords law” thing kind of doesn’t stick. I get it, you’re pissed reading that. You want Trump to have another four years, I’m an asshole for not finding another way to help out #teamtrump with “benfords law”. Listen, before you get on the high horse don’t forget one thing, we’ve already got a couple of ways for him to win. The biggest thing though is that’s some bullshit what you said right there.

           If Biden wins, it would suck…big time. We did the same thing to the left, whether they were right wrong or corrupt is another issue entirely. We elected Trump in 2016 over Hillary Clinton and the left has been bitching about it ever since. My suggestion is, pull that stick out of your ass and find the best way to fix things. No this is not perfect; it’s never going to be perfect but as Americans its our job to get it as close to perfect as possible. While you’re sitting bitching about Sleepy just remember that’s time that you could be spending campaigning for local office, state office, or hell what I’m going to do and get your name out there and go for the big time. It does no one favors just sitting around bitching to much including yourself.

           So, all I got to say this go around is that the “benfords law” thing is bunk. The more we bitch about it the more idiotic we look. We literally just gave the liberals/left/democrats something to shit talk us about by spreading it so much. I as a Libertarian wanted and needed to know more and can tell you for one, I almost fell for the trap too. Put some time and energy in to wearing that MAGA gear that you got to represent our president and get some planning done. Make a sign, a slogan, think of how you’d fix the country and go do it. It ain’t gonna be easy but if it fixes this country it will be fucking worth it.

  Facts

*Ok, I know people don’t like this website…I think it’s useful personally, but I had to resort to it, but I had to use…duh duh duh Wikapedia

-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_executive_actions_by_Woodrow_Wilson

  Oped-Warning

             Ok. Not the most salacious of titles…wait, I just used a big word. Oh, hell this one is going to be a hell storm. Ah that feels better. Now if only I was enough of an every man to put a smiley face next to that, I believe the kids now and days call that being a basic bitch, haha! So I know normally I come with a little bit more bit, ahem, girth with my sources…but this time I couldn’t do any better for you guys than what I got for you.

           I looked it all up, I actually backed it all up too. I looked through the literal federal database of executive orders to figure out which ones were his and see if Wikipedia actually did its job. Turns out, it did. So now all that shit is done lets get to the good shit. I left out one source…kind of? You can click his name when you’re look at the executive orders, takes you right to his biography.

           Well one of our presidents was a piece of fucking work. I knew this guy was an asshole. I knew this guy did some bad shit, and that some of the issues that we have now and days were because of him…but holy hell I didn’t know that he was that much of an ass! So first off. Woodrow Wilson was a REAL racist. I’m not talking, backwoods barely had a tooth in his head kind of racist. No the dude was a religious racist.

           Woodrow Wilson was a presbyterian pretty much his whole life. And from what I could gather he grew up in Virginia. Now and days that isn’t much of a bad thing. But he eventually became a minister of a church, or one of the denominations of presbyterian that split from its northern cousin that almost exclusively believed that black americans were lower than white americans. If we saw something like that today, they’d get our version of tar and feathering.

           Nope he got to jump to a new and upcoming career path. Historian. Yup folks, one they didn’t have that kind of screening back in the day. Two it was such a new emerging kind of field that when he started, at least back then, that they didn’t even give a shit if they went through secondary sources when they published books and put their information out there. So say you’re going to put a book out there, all your information comes from a friend of a friend…kind of fucked up cause it’s like that old school telephone game that my old ass used to play.

           So, after Woodrow Wilson decided, “Nah fam I’m good on being a minister. He went to Johns Hopkins University. Cool, get you some education. Now for the sake of making this as short as possible…kind of…our good ol’ pal Woodrow here ended up becoming a professor of Princeton, then became the president of Princeton.

           Now here’s where the real shit begins. Ok, so to start off with the mans saying was literally, "to transform thoughtless boys performing tasks into thinking men." Granted that might be something normal for back in the day, still kind of strikes me as off for back in the day…but kind of seems a little similar to things going on now and days. He started to look pretty decent given the fact that he got the job in 1902 and he let the first Jewish guy and Roman Catholic in to the teachers of the school.

           Haha, yeah that’s where it stops. I know Princeton is an ivy league school. I knew that much. Like I always point out to you guys, I’m an every-man, I know a little about a lot, not a lot about a little. But I had no idea that it was in New Jersey. So when Woodrow Wilson was President of Princeton, he was actually trying to keep black americans out of Princeton. Other ivy league’s at the time were cool with it, they were actively trying to get them in at the time. Fucks sake it had been forty years after the civil war they were good with it. Hell the 46th senator, Blanche Bruce, just got done serving as senator for Mississippi in 1881…he was a black republican.

           Where the fuck is Woodrow Wilson getting off here? So here’s where this guy gets worse. He was trying to get published as a notarized historian, even as this shit was just trying to get known all the other historians looked down on him. Turns out he wasn’t so good at that either. About the only thing he did good when it came to the time, he spent at Princeton was get the students to eat together. I’m serious, that was about all he did as the president at that fucking school. I could name a plethora of things my friggin elementary principal did better than this asshat.  

           1910. You can mark that as “God damn it.” I’m serious. Woodrow Wilson got fed up with everything at Princeton, so he dropped hints at the DNC two years earlier that he wanted to run. 1910 is when he finally got the balls to register as a democrat and run for the governor of NJ.

           Here’s where we get REALLY similar. There’s “rumors” or corruption, in regard to the way that he rigged the vote…like the way voting is going on now and days and the rumors are floating around now and days about democrats and some republicans. Woodrow Wilson, as a democrat, practiced really bad and extremely corrupt law practices during his campaign as well as paid some of his own contributions in to the “workmens compensation program”. Then amazingly he became the governor of New Jersey. Huh, imagine how that would work, if in now and days, if you were going to hide funds and try to all of a sudden try to buy someone’s vote, or a unions vote. Hell, maybe even send a couple of your $55 million dollar campaign contributions to media so your son’s laptop crap doesn’t show up in the paper or on tv? Kind of the same practice, right? Well it had to start somewhere right? Well there wasn’t much to say after that, cause much like one of his predecessors, Nancy Pelosi, Woodrow Wilson spent the time he was NJ’s governor just vetoing republican state senate bills.

           Guess what, the democrats love him so much they wanted him to try his hat at the presidential race…two damn years later. Now I’m going to say this right now, this is where probably mostly opinion is going to come out of me more than anything. So super oped-warning on this one guys.

           Ok. Woodrow Wilson got elected on pure fucking fluke. Were americans, we have a constitutional republic. Not a democracy. If we had a democracy, the mob would always rule no matter what. This gives a chance to let the minority speak. Well back in the day, when Woodrow Wilson was running, we had more than two major parties. We had the Republicans, the Democrats, and the Bull-Moose, William Howard Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson.

           There’s going to be an issue with the system, any fucking system you have no matter what you do. We’re humans, guess what…we ain’t perfect man. So everyone loved William Howard-Taft, and Theodore Roosevelt so much that everyone was split about the two. Basically the left over votes determined the winner. Fucking Woodrow Wilson.

           Yeah, a fucking fluke I wasn’t even alive and I’m pissed about it. Well he went about a couple of things that will sound a little familiar to you with the way I put them…or they should. Wilson wanted us to be the world police. Haha, yup, we were a world apart from the rest of the world. We could have a hell of a lot of a different history…but being the “bleeding heart” he was…Woodrow Wilson gleefully brought us in to World War I, also known as “The Great war”.

           This was while he was kind of, you know, putting forth his own racist shit…as a democrat…playing a good ol’ movie called “Birth of a Nation”. Oh it’s a good movie ya know, it’s all about hanging all them worthless…I’m not even going there. I’m sorry I took that one to far. Yes, Woodrow Wilson, one of the hero’s of the democrats, actually played something that the old KKK, before we snuffed them out the first time, called a work of art.

           Yeah, this guy wanted to try to globalize the U.S. in a hardcore way. He was the exact meaning of everything you see happening today. He committed voter fraud. Woodrow Wilson hated black people and believed that the south should have won the war, not because of taxes or any other reasons you can think of. Oh no, he hated black americans because they were inferior. So he had no issue with using them to his own advantage, and manipulating them…maybe like we’re seeing today. Folks I don’t think we’re seeing a socialist play book at all. We’re not seeing temper tantrums from the left either. We’re seeing Wilson’s prodigies.

           Let me be clear. For a while the democrats cleaned themselves up for a while. They we’re good after this. But right now all I see is, “Hunter’s laptop”, “voter fraud”, and shit being manipulated just like you guys do. I’m sorry, but we need to pull our heads out of our asses and get some balls like Theodore Roosevelt. “Well shits fucked up. Damn it, I already did my time…well screw it I’ll make another party and compete with them make them pull their heads out of their asses.” Because that’s the only way I can really truly see this resolving itself.

           We’re close with Trump. He’s a great guy, don’t get me wrong. But he’s got his faults. And like I’ve said before we need an every-man. An every-man won’t give a shit what color you are, he’ll give a shit if you’re working. He won’t give a shit if you have power, he’ll give a shit if your utilities are on. An every-man won’t start a war but he sure as hell will finish it. But the thing that will set him apart is he’ll be the thing that the republicans and democrats won’t know a damn thing about…unlike Trump…which unfortunately they do. Plus they won’t see an every-man coming either.

 -E.O.-13925- 28 May 2020

       -Online platforms are engaging in selective censorship that is harming our national discourse. Tens of thousands of Americans have reported, among other troubling behaviors, online platforms “flagging” content as inappropriate, even though it does not violate any stated terms of service; making unannounced and unexplained changes to company policies that have the effect of disfavoring certain viewpoints; and deleting content and entire accounts with no warning, no rationale, and no recourse.

Twitter now selectively decides to place a warning label on certain tweets in a manner that clearly reflects political bias. As has been reported, Twitter seems never to have placed such a label on another politician's tweet. As recently as last week, Representative Adam Schiff was continuing to mislead his followers by peddling the long-disproved Russian Collusion Hoax, and Twitter did not flag those tweets. Unsurprisingly, its officer in charge of so-called “Site Integrity” has flaunted his political bias in his own tweets.

 OPED-WARNING

       Ok. So correct if I am wrong here…but I thought he was fascist here? Right now, we have the celebrity Trump as president of the United States of America. Now I know what you are thinking “That’s the far-left fuck wads.”, or “Am I part of the Senate?” No, I do not think you are at least. But hear me out on this one. We are relegated to, two parties right now, democrat and republican. How in the living hell does President Trump fall in to either one of those? He does not. Well he is a moderate right? Well, kind of? See, for a long time I would have agreed with you except for the fact that I did my research and found a golden nugget called libertarianism…gee wonder what that inspired ahem. All cheeky jokes aside. It is basically the political belief that we need to get back to brass tax. Republicans don’t have it right, democrats don’t have it right, cut the power right out from them lets go bare minimum and start from ground zero.

       I think labeling President Trump, as well as all these other well to do up and coming politician’s democrat or republican is a freaking travesty. President Trump has had a lot of executive orders just cutting the executive branches power and spending power alone in the first two years. I think, if you ask me, President Trump is the exact opposite of a fascist, he is a Libertarian…kind of like someone else you might know…wink wink…But again lets cut with the labels if you cannot even use them properly, cause if you need more evidence, well then I guess I will spend a couple more hours looking up his executive orders cause that’s not the only bit of power he has cut from the government. Oh and if you are curious check out the “reform party” you might get an eye opener with that one.

Ok what the hell did I miss?

OK WHAT THE HELL DID I MISS?!

    OPED-WARNING

             Ok. Ok. Ok. I suck at grammar. I write like an every-man. It is the kind of writing that I know I would appreciate it myself. Yes, I have ulterior motives. I see shit wrong with the damn country I love, I think I know how to fix it. I am going to put it in to action, or I am going to get a following, i.e. you guys who are reading my stuff, and either I am going to be the one to run in a couple of years or one of you guys are. Simple. But what in the living hell happened yesterday?!

           Do we really have such a corrupt system/companies in our country that not only did some crack head kid make a deal with some people and countries he should have, and his former Vice President father covered for him. But! Twitter covered for him as well?! Let me rewind. I know from my other two blogs, as I am sure you’ve caught on, I like to put my sources and the links of those sources for my blogs right above the op-ed portion of my blogs. How the fuck do I sight twitter as a source?! Especially after yesterday?!

           I am thirty-two years old and I am sincerely going to have a conniption fit writing a friggin blog, this is hilarious. Ok, get back on track, so as it turns out dear readers there’s a man…as I have yet to find out who the hell, he is…bad research I know…had a hard drive. On this hard drive, was copious amounts of international deals that Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, had done during his eight-year term as Vice President. Hunter Biden, as it turns out, had used his old man as leverage on personal deals with foreign companies and good ol’ Joe happily complied for the son that was discharged from the military for drug use. Hence the reason why I said something about being a crack head…because it was crack that he used…get it…crack head…never mind moving on.

           So, Mr. Hunter Biden takes said hard drive to a computer repair shop and drops it off. Now funny thing about computer repair shops, if you leave it there long enough what ends up happening is, it legally becomes their property, crazy huh? Well the guy gets a wild hair up his ass opens the thing up and looks at what is in it. Oh boy once he sees the emails and everything involved, he goes crazy. The poor bastard makes a copy of the hard drive, smart move little c.y.a., then alerts the F.B.I. Nothing happens. Alerts the media. Nothing happens.

           “Ok. Fine.” This guy does something genius level. He makes a couple more copies and sends them out. He sends a copy of the hard drive to the “New York Post”, one of the four oldest papers we have in our nation’s history. Then he sends the other copied hard drive to Rudolf Giuliani. That guys important right there. So, Mister Giuliani here not only was once mayor of New York City, but a lawyer and not just any lawyer but President Trumps lawyer at that.

           Whew. We are not done with the craziness yet friends. The New York Post pretty much decides to put up a report about the findings slowly about the hard drive, cool it is a newspaper that is what it is supposed to do. So, it writes something up, kind of like this blog *wink wink*, then it posts a link on Twitter to its findings. Twitter literally blocks the friggin New York Post. I shit you not. It blocks not only that link, stating it had been hacked, but the white house press secretary Kayleigh McE…MCenanan…Mcanan…fuck…KAYLEIGH MCENANY. Damn, I am Irish and that is hard for me!

           So, can someone please tell me what I missed, and how I missed it? Look I am no fan of Joe Biden. I have two blogs’ up, and I am sure by now anyone that’s read them can tell that. But he has got a kid that screwed up, and he wants to protect him. That I also get. I think you guys get that to. We are all reasonable here. There is one thing we must ask though, at what friggin cost is it going to come though? I think it is reasonable to assume that Hunter has issues going on in his personal life. And if Joe Biden does get in office this January, what happens behind the scenes while we are not looking? Then top it off, what lengths will Joe Biden go through to protect his son? He is a parent after all, and he has already lost sons. All I am saying is, it is not right for Twitter and Facebook to cover this up and try to sway the American publics opinion on the upcoming election. That is really fucked up if you ask me.

So t.l.d.r.: Twitter AND Facebook fucked up BIG time!!

Where I stand and why

WHERE AND WHY I STAND THE WAY, I DO

   FACTS

  -https://www.theasatrucommunity.org/sumarsdag-blot

-Odin,

Sky Father,

Highest of the Gods in Asgard,

From Mimir’s well you drank

For knowledge and wisdom,

A clear vision within,

A clear vision without.

Lord of Life and Death,

On Yggdrasill

Which spans all worlds, all life,

You hung in self-sacrifice,

And learned the sacred mysteries,

That do pierce the veil of all creation.

Mysterious and powerful are the ancient runes –

That you grasped unto yourself

And penetrated their deepest depths.

    OPED-WARNING

             Oh boy. Here we go, this is probably where I’m going to lose a shit ton of followers. So here goes nothing! I’m a follower of both Asatru and Odinism. This means that I am Norse Pagan. I follow Odin, Freya, and Thor. To my Christian followers just so you know I don’t overtly hate you, no I don’t follow a guy with horns, no I haven’t been to a mental institution…and not I don’t hear voices telling me to blow up churches…only on Sundays. Just a joke! Not a manifesto! Oh, God’s someone’s going to find this and try to use this out of context I know this. Ok here we go with the rest of the blog.

           So it’s well known at this point that I served in the United States Army at this point…if it isn’t…well now you know. I went through some things while I served, some good some extremely bad, it kind of comes with the territory. I was a “faithful” non-denominational Christian at the time I raised my right hand to enlist.

           I can’t really say I knew what it meant if I’m being sincere with you dear reader. I can say that I had been through a lot in my life, yes. I would pray endlessly, read my bible endlessly. I knew the old testament, the new testament like the back of my hand. Everything I said and did I tried my hardest…nothing. I can’t name one time that the “Lord and Savior” would personally send me a sign or let me know he was there for me or speak to me through his text’s.

            I then began to fall off the “band wagon” so-to-speak. This was well into my career as a soldier. I was a democrat, part of the liberal hive mind that began to eat away at the culture that is not around our youth that is my age now. It wasn’t until after I was discharged from service, thanks Obama, that I had my very first real religious experience and was horribly misguided by it.

           So the religious part, this is the juicy part haha! I just got discharged from the Army due to the massive draw back in funds that President Obama had in the department of defense. They were kicking people out for practically any reason they could instead of getting rid of equipment…that’s just what they do. When they discharge you, they send you to your home of record, mine just happens to be good old Kankakee, Illinois…kind of a shitty small ghetto town south of Chicago, not the worst place I’ve lived but not the best I’ve lived either.

           I was recently married to an honestly crappy woman, just had my first son and I had no job, or prospect of getting one living in my father’s half of a duplex again. Great beginning to my twenty second year of life, right? If you answered yes, I, just have no words for you right now.

           One day I’m beating feet on pavement doing what I can putting in paper applications to every brick and motor I can in town when it begins to down pour around me. Fucking great. Automatically I’m angry at everything around me, I’ve been out there for about three hours and I’ve got couple hours more, it’s July in Illinois and the sun was just shinning and you just want to randomly dump rain on me God?

           It took a moment, but I realized that I was completely dry. Everything around me was, what was getting soaked. Looked at the pavement under my feet dry. Three feet over, soaked, and still getting poured on. Oh, that’s fucking weird…but maybe there’s something to this God thing after all. Took him long enough after all. So it was then, being the Midwesterner that I am, I look up in to the sky and yelled “Hey if you’re going to keep me dry. How about you, and Jesus Christ get me a fucking job to?”

           Now I know if you’re Christian, and you’re reading this you’re going to tell me, “That’s not how God works Mr. Barbarian.” I know that! He never worked that way! Especially not in my case. But it was me having a bitter moment, and I KNOW, you Christians definitely have your bitter moments too! So “You is without sin cast the first stone”.

           I don’t know why, but in that moment, something told me to look for a reply, but nothing came. So, standing there I started joking around. Being the dork, I am I had an extensive knowledge of all the ‘myths’ of gods past from ancient cultures of our ancestors. “Ra?” nope, “Zeus?” nope. “Odin?” that’s when it happened, my general jackassery almost had caused me to miss the two very large noticeable ravens fly over my shoulders then land in front of my feet then turn to face me quietly.

           ‘There’s no way’ I thought to myself. Odin, the guy that has one eye? The God that is all about laying and slaying, keep in mind fellow Odinist’s I didn’t know much back then, is trying to reach out to me of all people? “Oh yeah whatever! If you’re really trying to talk then make it make the sky light up with lightening, then!” I continued down my path of jackassery. And as soon as I finished my statement the sky lit up with bright pink lightening.

           Right away I began to delve in to research into what this could mean. I found that there was a resurgence of the old Norse ways. That I wasn’t the only one the Norse God’s were coming to. It was now called Asatru, or if you were specifically following only Odin, then Odinism. Later, I found that I was also being called upon by Freya, goddess of love and warriors. And Thor…no not Chris Hemsworth, god of storms, war and fertility.

           Oh no, I wrote this because of Odin. This is where the big show begins…Gods I’m long winded. Odin is the All Father, kind of like the Zeus of the Norse Gods if you will. But when it comes to what he’s the god of, well he has A LOT under his belt! One of the main things he’s the god of is knowledge. And in some respects, he’s kind of like the Christian God.

           Odin won’t just give you knowledge. You must fight for it, you must find it, you must understand it. If you were to say, here something on the news from CNN well awesome! Ok, where did it happen, then go check out the local news from that area, see what the local news says, check the interviews of the locals to see what they say and relay it to the facts of the news story and see how well it holds up. That is something my religion tells me to do. That is something my God, Odin, says is honorable and something he admires.

           He also admires fighting. Now I know what you may be thinking, fighting? So just start beating the crap out of people? That seems a little vicious! No, those of us who believe in Asatru, and Odinism actually look at fighting or “battle” in a different light than you might think. It would actually be better described as “fighting for what you believe”.  Like I do now. I believe that the media needs to stop grandstanding for one political party and report the facts. I believe that big tech needs to stop censoring one political party or those it doesn’t agree with and allow all points of view, whether they agree or not. I will fight for what I believe, here on the internet, or in the senate, or in office if need be.

           So yes. I am following a religious crusade…not the Christian kind, so Muslim’s are safe. The kind where I seek knowledge, the kind where I will be the every-man that tries to understand your point of view and find commonality. The kind that will fight for what I believe in peacefully. I will accept the wanderer with a homely attitude because one day it might be my God Odin that comes walking through my door and it is our belief that we should always present the homeless wanderer with the best of our food, our chair, and bed as well as conversation and knowledge.

           This is why I am the Libertarian Barbarian.
