This is the second edition of this groundbreaking book. The enemy of individual rights today is a group I call the Alinsky Radicals. They are associated, philosophically and politically, with the communists and fascists of the past. They are not your father’s liberals. In this book, I provide the intellectual ammunition you need to eradicate these radicals from society. First, we’ll identify the context that enabled these parasites to emerge. Then we’ll analyze the fundamental principle in Hegel’s philosophy and show that it is untrue and unworkable. We’ll also examine their other...

This book could be viewed as a companion work to my earlier book, “What Harvard and Princeton Don’t Want You to Know” which is an examination into the flawed premises of philosophers such as David Hume and Immanuel Kant who are most influential on the ideas of modern society including John Dewey and the pragmatists who run society. My goal for both works is to examine the proposition that our society is falling into an abyss of ignorance, man-made divisions, and social conflicts because (primarily) of Hume and Kant. This descent is sending us into a cruel form of nihilism that will ...

This book includes two chapters from my book Individualism that I have decided to publish as a separate small book with related content.

Jonny Payne is an Indiana teenager who has just discovered the philosophy of Ayn Rand and his parents are displeased. They take him to a priest and a psychologist, but his only question is "What is the price of independence? Jonny struggles to grow intellectually while confronted by the disapproval of his parents and peers. As he grows, he learns that the battle for individuality is the battle of life.

If psychology has no solid epistemology and metaphysics, how can it stand on its own? I do not think it can and this explains why psychology is in such a sad state today. Yet, before we can put psychology on a solid foundation, philosophy too must advance above the level of puberty. With its base in modern philosophy, even philosophy cannot stand on its own which exposes the real problems with modern psychology. We must indict psychology by looking at its philosophical bases in Hume and Kant. We will examine this later. Suffice to say that modern psychology is based upon false premises that...

You have a yearning, a passion for some form of the good. What is it? You only know that you are confused, unclear, unable to decide just who you are and what you want. You look around and see the people. You wonder what makes them move each day? You notice some of them act as if they don’t care what happens next, they are dressed differently and seem not to care what they look like or how people react to them. Others move briskly bent on a purpose, concerned only about what they are about. People walk by them; they don’t even notice. They just keep to their path and you wonder where ...

Many people think the best way to make a difference in society is to do charitable things for others. This book argues that there is another aspect of altruism (sacrifice for the sake of society) that connects it to collectivism, human sacrifice, re-distribution, and mass murder. All socialist systems, including communism, and welfare-statism, are based upon altruism (taking from the productive and giving to the poor). The question then, for altruism, is not about how many people benefit but, rather, how many people are needlessly exploited? Additionally important, is not whether altruism ...

This book is made up of several chapters about American values and how they can be defended without a descent into the abyss of dictatorship. The book argues for individual rights and provides reasons why we should fight for them.

I wrote this book to ask some important questions: 1. Will we become again a free people, deciding as individuals the direction of our lives or will we continue to be herded into groups and classes to be favored or rejected by a ruling elite? 2. Will we be free to start businesses, earn profits and keep those profits or will we be enslaved in order to feed the government as it advances social engineering and corporatist (cronyist) schemes? 3. Will we pay high taxes of low taxes? 4. Will we be allowed to participate in our own lives or be mindless slaves to the wishes of others? 5. Will we ...

Amerigo was born in a time of desperation and dystopia. He was the only man with the vision of a great future. Many repaired to his cause while others swore to destroy him. They wanted his life, his mind and everything he loved. He swore that no matter what they did, he would win the struggle for freedom and a new future.

A logical fallacy, on the other hand, is a faulty thought process that violates a rule of proper thinking. A rule of proper thinking is a rule defined by logicians through discovery of logical truths and how to frame good arguments. Correct arguments are defined as proper generalized expressions that define logical truths or knowledge. With a logical fallacy, either the contrary or the contradictory of the logical argument is said to be true. In effect, a rule of logical reasoning addresses all of the common modes of valid argument while the faulty argument contradicts them. This book ...

Calming the mind and quiet thinking are two new premises of rational meditation. This guide to rational thinking takes on mysticism, mindfulness and eastern religious influences by explaining how they do not help men live by means of reason and rational thinking. Mindfulness, in particular, is the meditation system of the left. The author shows how meditation can be done without mysticism, leftist philosophy and the denigration of the individual. Rational Meditation is not about collective joining with groups of like-minded people (Plato) and/or becoming Hephaistos (Freud and Jung). It is ...

This stage play is about the struggle of the main character, Ricard, who has recently been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol. The play chronicles his personal struggle to deal with how he became an alcoholic and how to repair his life. It focuses on his values, how to identify their role in his life, and how he can shed alcohol as a value.

This fictional work assumes that Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in his Berlin bunker toward the end of World War II, but instead, was able to survive and escape to South America. This work presents the author’s reflection of the meaning of Nazism and fascism and attempts to extract that meaning from Hitler’s life and final words.

We live in a city on a river. Our city is called New America, and our river is the river Styx. We don’t know how the river got this name, but it is a very wide body of water and, they say, on the other side of the river are some very bad people. We have been at war with them all our lives and almost all the news we receive is about the war and how our Supreme Leader is winning it. We give the bodies of our young to fight this war and some never return. They are lost in the greyness on the other side of the river. We never think about losing them because they don’t know their parents, ...
