The Fate of America’s Economy

In The Final Reality the antagonist is a man known as Barry Hussein. It is the charater that personifirs our cuurent president and sheds insight into the man’s inner psyche. A quote from the novel is as follows:

Since Barry came into power his ultimate goal was that of control. If it had a scientific purpose or economic value, he wanted to control it. It did not mattered to him if the government ruined it with their bureaucratic inefficiency or corrupted its underlying function. As long as he had jurisdiction over it, he was content.

Is that what Obama wants to do with our current healthcare system? This may seem remarkable but our healthcare system accounts for around 1/6 of our economy. A takeover of this magnitute would be tantamount to fundamentally changing how America functions. No longer would be be the home of the free. We would now be residents of a country ruled over by governmental officials who believe they know what’s best for us.

Just like these same officals know how to balance of budget, run a post office or run Amtrak. Just a little history (quoted from Wikipedia): The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, doing business as Amtrak (reporting mark AMTK), is a government-owned corporation that was organized on May 1, 1971, to provide intercity passenger train service in the United States. “Amtrak” is a portmanteau of the words “America” and “track”. It is headquartered at Union Station in Washington, D.C.

As the world’s transportation systems, especially trains, have been upgraded and modernized over the past 40 years just look at the state the American railroad system is in. Has it improved over these years or stagnated in a quagmire of bureaucracy and ineptness. Well, when you look at the rails in Europe and compare them to here there is no comparison. We have stagnated under this government-run system that has failed to let free market run its course. We are stuck with an antiquated system that grossly fails to accommodate the needs of its citizens.

Is the post office doing any better? Well, as the price of stamps rises once again and as more postal workers get laid off, I think not. Will this be the fate of our healthcare system? The scarier thought is: WILL THIS BE THE FATE OF OUR ENTIRE ECONOMY? You see what happens with government run programs. Imagine if they now took over 1/6 of the economy? The scarier thing is: this will all happen if OBAMA gets another four years to destroy this country.

What Does Faith Mean Among the Faithless?

In the Final Reality the major antagonist is an egotistical, fascist ruler by the name of Barry Hussein. Based upon our current president, Obama, he views religion as only something that the weak cling to for support. Preferring existentialist readings rather than the Bible, he wants to create a utopian society based solely upon his beliefs, devoid of any religious foundation. A quote from The Final Reality briefly summarizes this point:

While in college he was exposed to a world much larger than he had ever known. The constant barrage of communist, fascist and socialist ideals from both classmates and professors alike inundated him.  
He was taught about the West’s hypocrisy and their ardent belief in capitalism. It was like a love story between the hedonistic Western society and their economic system where the rich prospered off the work done by the poor. He wanted no Moore of that.
Utopia could only be orchestrated from the government. People were too mentally unfit and greedy to be left to their own devices. Wealth distribution and total government control were the only justifiable solutions.
While in college he also read Daybreak by Friedrich Nietzsche. It was the ultimate epiphany. More powerful than any religious text, this book along with other existentialist readings, created purpose for his life.
No longer seeking the meaning of life, he realized that it was his duty alone to create it. His future wife, M, also shared this existentialist view.
While in college they met and made an instant connection. Both shared the same anti-Western sentiment and prayed not to a God but to a reality, which they created for themselves.

Senator Rick Santorum recently stated that Obama believes in “some phony theology. Not a theology based on the Bible. A different theology.” I definitely agree. A true Christian could not sit silently as his reverend, Pastor Jeremiah Wright, spewed hate ridden-homilies from the pulpit. A true Christian would not have remained a member of that congregation. A true Christian would have immediately walked out of that church and prayed that his pastor would one day be filled with the love of the Holy Spirit and rid himself of all hate.
So why didn’t Obama do those things? The answer is simple: He is not a true Christian. He feels as if religion is an antiquated institution, meant only for the helpless, poor and uneducated. He views it as a crutch to which these people hold on to instead of turning to something much more tangible during their times of need, like government. There is no heaven in Obama’s theology. The heaven he believes in can only be found on earth and can only be achieved by a government-created utopia.
And that is exactly what Obama wants to create: a government-engineered utopia- one based upon his beliefs, his ideals and ultimately his image. He wants to be the man who transforms America into the New Worker’s Paradise. Unfortunately, the world has already seen the consequences of such a philosophy. The former USSR wanted to provide the same to its people. Just look at Russia now and the former Soviet bloc nations. Are we headed for the same fate? With 15 trillion in debt we may be there already.
In the Art of War Sun Tsu said, “Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a thousand battles without disaster.” After almost 4 years of a disastrous presidency I believe America knows Obama and understands what he wants to do to our country. Don’t let it happen. We don’t need a thousand battles. We just need one and that one is coming up this November!

Fact Trumps Fiction

Quote from The Final Reality:

He knew the scenario and it was the same for all the patients placed in his experimental clinical trial: rapid breakdown of the muscle which was followed in quick succession by internal organ failure, blistering rashes and then terminating in encephalopathy where in essence the brain shuts down.
Only Dr. Christakos and his three surgical colleagues knew about the trial. The rest of the hospital was oblivious to the truth.

The Disease, as it has been coined, is the illness that ravages mankind throughout my novel, The Final Reality. This except describes the sequence of events which occur when one is afflicted: multi-organ failure, rash, confusion, seizures and ultimately death. It’s a condition that basically shuts down the human body, and despite all advances in modern medicine, researches can find neither a source nor a cure for this deadly illness.
It seems almost unheard of that such a thing could happen in today’s world. This isn’t the Middle Ages where a plague can wipe out a third of the human population. We now have modern science, antibiotics, and vaccines to protect us against all those bugs that Mother Nature has to offer.
A recent article I just read on Yahoo tells us just how vulnerable we are:
 

Anywar is one of more than 3,000 children in northern Uganda who are suffering from a debilitating mystery ailment known as nodding disease, which has touched almost every family in the village of Tumangu.

For several years, scientists have tried and failed to determine the cause of the illness, which locals say has killed hundreds of youngsters.
What they do know is that the disease affects only children and gradually devastates its victims through debilitating seizures, stunted growth, wasted limbs, mental disabilities and sometimes starvation. Scientists are trying to find a cure: since 2010, researchers ranging from epidemiologists to environmental experts, neurologists, toxicologists and psychiatrists have carried out a range of tests.

Efforts continue to understand if the disease is still spreading or has peaked — and why it is seems confined only to certain communities.

Sometimes fact is more interesting than fiction. Unfortunately, with the above mentioned disease, this statement holds true. Is this condition something mankind has never seen before? Until Stanley Prusiner of the University of California, SF announced the discovery of a prion, no one had any idea of what caused such lethal conditions as Mad Cow Disease. Is this disease another deadly prion condition or have we found something completely novel?

Or is this disease something that we just can’t treat? Dr. Jack Edwards, chief of infectious diseases at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center was recently quoted as saying, “Within just a few years, we could be seeing that most of our microorganisms are resistant to most of our antibiotics.”

Unfortunately, the next pandemic could come in many different forms or for many different reasons. The Final Reality outlines one of them and foreshadows the consequences of just such an event.

Big Brother at it again

A quote from The Final Reality: 
“When government wishes to do the work of god, it becomes not divine but demonic.”-Pope Benedict XVI

The Obama administration recently ruled that all insurance policies must offer contraceptive services with no co-payments required. Whether you agree with the policy or not, it was ill conceived from the start. Did Obama and his staff have no clue as to the offense this law would have? Did he not care, did not know or was he, again, trying to force his will over the American people?

Plus, why is contraception now a God given right for every American. Has pregnancy become a disease which has to be prevented by the insurance companies? The thought behind such a policy is ludicrous. If Obama really wanted health insurance companies to pay for preventative measures, then he would make gym memberships free- or maybe he could have them pay for vitamins and running sneakers. The list can go on and on.

The point here is obvious. He again wants to shove something down our throats despite our concerns. I guess he obviously knows better? It does not matter if it has merit. He has his agenda and while he is in office, he will do whatever is in his power to force his will upon us.

Unfortunately, as more American begin to rely on the government rather than family, friends and religion his power and influence rises. Plus, those of us that believe in family, friend and religion are getting so bogged down in increased regulations that the American dream of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is becoming more difficult. It seems as if we can attempt to achieve it only under certain circumstances and if the government allows.

This is just the beginning. Can you imagine a second term?

January 29, 2012: The Final Reality

What makes one person smarter, faster or even more athletic than another? Is it their upbringing or is the answer hidden within millions of years of genetic evolution. What if mankind found the answer and in the process, doomed humanity to extinction?
 
Focusing on both our current politically charged environment and world-wide economic crisis, my fictional novel, The Final Reality, follows Alex Pella on a tumultuous journey that projects a potential path of human existence in the 21st century. After a virus hidden within our genetic code inadvertently gets released upon the planet, no country is financially prepared to deal with such a disaster. Only the brilliant neuroscientist, Alex Pella, and his intellectual equal, Marissa Ambrosia, have the audacity to attempt finding a cure while simultaneously fending off vehement opposition sent to stop them. Guided by an ancient code concealed within the Old Testament, they must traverse ancient lands and solve an age-old biblical riddle to save mankind from its own inevitable destruction. With a humorous flair, the book smoothly tells an important story that reflects on the political, medical and financial uncertainties which mankind currently faces.

The Final Reality is my first soon-to-be published book. It reflects upon the absurdities currently going on in government and warns of the potential consequences of both genetic research and our unfathomable national debt. I’m tired of seeing this great country being led in the wrong direction. Has history taught us nothing? Socialism, communism and fascism all have been failures. Just look at Greece, the former Soviet Republic and the 20th century fascist regimes of recent times. What do they all have in common? Well, they are either about to go under or already tanked. History teaches us that time and time again, yet we seem to forget.
I’m tired of the rhetoric coming out of Washington. Class warfare is their mantra and it goes against the American dream I was taught growing up. No one wants to work hard just to make it to the middle. No, the American dream tells us the harder we work, the better chances of being financial stable we will be. Now Washington is telling us differently. When did hard work, long hours and success make you a bad person? Unfortunately, now it does.
This blog will follow those absurdities coming out of Washington, the ever growing size of government and how our hard-earned tax dollars seem to be being squandered away into a mounting level of national debt. I will also be chronicling my journey with The Final Reality and the response I receive from both the media and general public. Hope you enjoy!
