Recently a family member sent me an Article that explained how the author came to grips with the fact that the Republican party was an evil organization and hiding facts from people. For example the author pointed out the 1953 coup in Iran that the US was involved in. That it was our own government and there secret organizations that caused the current Iranian mess.
Peter does not fall for such hype. Be aware that too much hype about anything, most likely would not be the whole truth. If right off, in any article / blog or video the presentation is extreme, you can discredit it as not the whole story. Secret organizations in government is known bad. See "Gadianton Robbers". That said should Government have Secrets? Yes. There are somethings that should not be known that bad people or organizations could take advantage of.
The Iranian history Part 1 of the whole story:
So the whole thing started when the Iranian Leader made a deal with a British oil exploration company. The Iranian leader had no way to know that it was such a bad decision at the time. How was he to know that Iran had so much oil? The Free market principles should have been allowed to continue. Would some government action be good. Sure, Maybe some transportation taxes to off set the natural resource leaving the country. You can keep the original agreement but make it harder to leave the country with out paying more for it. However, Nationalizing the Oil industry and seize assets that don't belong to you was a Communist solution. HUGE BAD MOVE! Iran broke their contract. Was the contract unfair to the people. Sure. Should it be renegotiated sure. However, did the British company have the right to keep the contract, as originally agreed to, in place YES!
Part 2 of the whole story:
Would it have been better to Accept Iran's solution to sell its oil to the US? This would make the US a Co-Thief in Irans move. The Answer was NO. Was the US decision to back the Shah in Iran bad? There is enough evidence to say looking back that it was a bad move too. Remember though, that after the world war ended the threat to national security was new. No longer was it a person or country it was a concept. "Communism" So it was that the US viewed the Iranian decision to Nationalize and take what was not theirs as an act that could not be supported and in fact actively apposed! Never mind that the Iranian Government may have been somewhere close to democratic at the time. They wronged the West in a big way. Now they paid.
Note that the Communism concept war in large part ended with the cold war and a strong President Ronald Reagan. Not to say that it does not still live, just is now in the background. Now we again have moved to a war based on a concept "Terrorism" I would submit that while it seemed to be a good idea, It is Dangerous again there is no Clear target! War Mongers and those who seek power love this. Will Iraq one day be another Iran? Will Afghanistan?
Learn History! it is bound to repeat itself. You can be prepared. Do it!

Debit crisis explained.
Education is the goal, Tell me what you think.
The Interesting thing explained in the video is how people believe that cutting spending will "hurt the Economy" The key is individual worth and work ethic. Breaking the bonds of government dependance. We must be willing to work for our selves. If a company can't pay, Keep working! Keep selling what you do or make. Use the Power of the Free market to continue beyond the governmental flaws. This way the government can spend less, and begin to pay off its debits fully Interest + Principle just like any good citizen. Government must SHRINK MASSIVELY. Yet continue to pay the debit as if it were still HUGE. (Again, just like any other person.) Cut all Government programs, Lower taxes on companies and wealthy people. Get Reaganomics working so that there is ALOT of tax money coming in. When I say cut programs, I want to be clear. Government is only to do the fallowing: "form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare [As originally interpreted to meaning Trade], and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" (http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Preamble) I mean to clear cut the forest of programs and scorch the earth. If we don't do it, don't worry, The lightning will come and the fire will burn hot and do it for us. It may not be as clean but the only recourse would be to clear and plant again. I'm sure that is exactly what some people will try to do too. We then will have to stand up and say no! NO NEW DEALS! Get to work you bum! I know what it is like to be “down sized” It happened to me. It hurts the human spirit. NEVER give up! Pull on those boots, work for FREE! if necessary but Work! You will be found of value, then you can be paid. And for those few who really do have issues getting to work this is what private charities and churches are for. Again the focus should be on NO Dependency!!!
This Video is interesting as it shows how the world may cause the fire to start "over there" and cross the ocean as if it was not there. The Video show how over time economic decay happens. I see the underlying cause being people choosing to be government dependent and lazy regarding there own work ethic. Government is NOT the answer to anything except as listed above.

Medical Insurance, We don't need Obama Care
Why is there a 1.5 hour wait at the Local ER? There are two main reasons I see.
1. People feel like "I've paid for Healthcare insurance, I'm going to get my money's worth." and 2. People with no insurance feel they can go to the ER to get basic medical care. IE (Illegal immigrants)
The trouble is that people are not using medical insurance as insurance. And Doctors and the Medical industry have become addicted to the “Easy money” that comes from Insurance companies. One might make a correlation to the consumer credit card addiction, except from the point of view of the Medical community and insurance companies.
This needs to fundamentally change both in mind and practice to a all cash system with catastrophic insurance for medical bills over 10,000. IE real "insurance" To goto a 100% cash paid for everything before 10,000. No I'm not talking deductible. I'm talking about having to file a clam in order to prove that the medial bill is more than the 10,000. Then the "Bad head ache, Lets go to the Emergency room." would simply not happen. The other issue simply needs to be that we don't provide FREE health care! Most importantly, Enforce the existing laws and make it uncomfortable for illegals to live here. I'm not saying there should not be some charity work, but you should go to the church for that not the hospital. Yes I realize that this would mean that the medical community would have to bend to the market demand like every other business out there. This would Improve care as they compete for my cold hard cash.

Utah Sound Money Act
Go UTAH!!! I have read the 9 page act. And fully support it! This would give Utah tax payers a "shield" against those who would change the value of money.
As stated on other blogs "This bill does nothing to the federal government’s use of Federal Reserve Notes and monopoly over creating that fiat currency. This bill does not impose a gold standard, nor remove the dollar as a legal tender to be used in commerce. This bill does not do anything, really, other than increase the liberty of each individual to determine how they would like to engage in commerce, and with what currency."
And the brilliant part about it, so far as I can tell the only government worker who will be impacted is the Utah State Treasurer. There is no new government program, no new agency, nothing new to pay for. This is a NO brainier! It is just plain smart business. Economy failing due to currency issues would be resolved immediately!
So sweet I'm going to spread the word. We want this to pass!!!

Better productivity not more testing...
My perspective on education has changed some over the past few years. Our family has been working with local schools in my area and there are some common issues that I'm hearing.
Teachers are having to teach to a test. IE pump the kids full of what they will need to know to pass, then quickly move on the next quarters test preparation. I've heard this before, the "cram to pass" classes for IT certification is an example. I know many people who are "certified" yet they know nothing about the subject they supposedly are professionals in. Are we doing this to our children? Are teachers cramming our kids so they can pass the tests, sacrificing the real life application and teaching?
"We have to make sure the children can perform. We can't teach them a principle too far way from the test, they might forget." IE We don't have time to teach concepts and real learning. We have to test cram so they can pass the tests.
Some say we need more testing of schools. I would argue we need better teachers and focus less on quarterly testing. Lets cut testing!! We need End of grade testing and fire those teachers who don't teach well.
I mean to be fair, Have a 4 pronged approach to insuring good teachers. One, would be how well there children do on the end of year testing. Second, teacher peer review, and principle review, and a new review of principles to insure a fair Administrative review. This way This way a teacher can focus on teaching and less on getting the children to pass the quarterly test.
Some have said that we need more testing. Or that we should start Grading Schools. Grading schools would be good if the grade was how well the Principle and Administrative staff are running things, Not how well the teachers get kids to pass tests. If all they do in school is testing when will the children have time to learn? To Know how a thing works, What use the knowledge will be in life. A good teacher can teach only if we give them the time to do so.
I do purpose changes to how we do teaching. Technology has given us much greater ability to teach. We should shorten on ground classes and have Online school to supplement and provide the one on one interface that is so needed in school. I mean to add this dimension as early as 5th grade. This way students can learn much faster if they can. And slower students can get the added help they need.
As I work with lawmakers and teachers I'll post more of what I find.
