AMERICA'S ARISTOCRACY WANTS TO STIFLE THE MIDDLE CLASS

AMERICA’S ARISTOCRACY WANTS TO STIFLE THE MIDDLE CLASS

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

America has been the land of opportunity. People from around the world came to our shores to make a better life for themselves and their families. They worked hard, saved and invested in their futures. These families learned the language, followed the law and assimilated to become Americans usually by the third generation. They moved from the working class to the middle class and some joined the upper class.  The American dream was alive and an inspiration to us all.

The traditional concept of assimilation is currently under attack and the middle class is paying for the ever expanding welfare state. Some in congress of the US enrich themselves by their association with the rich and powerful. These self serving legislators had the audacity to give themselves a far superior medical plan rather than fall under the Affordable Care Act that was mandated for almost all other citizens.

Our land of opportunity is being squashed by the aristocracy of progressive Americans. These elites do not want assimilation or a strong middle class.  Instead they are advocates of multiculturalism and a centrally controlled government. It is shredding the fabric of our nation. Just like Europe we are losing our unity, direction and loyalty of the people within our borders. This “establishment class” often acts contrary to our national interests but is in lock step with other global aristocracies. These power broker’s main concern is positioning themselves to be an integral member of a future world government. The vision of these progressive intellectuals goes way beyond the borders of the USA to an all encompassing one-world government transforming the USA from an exceptional leader of the world to a centrally controlled, two tier small powerful elite and immense underclass.

According to these establishment leaders, nationalism is an antiquated construct that has to be replaced. The most powerful elites throughout the world are uniting supposedly to save the planet. These self-described visionaries are not concerned about individual liberty but control over the provincial, ignorant and powerless masses.

The most important stage of this one-world domination is to rid the world of the powerful USA. The most free and successful country on earth has to be brought to its knees. This is being done by undermining its traditional institutions that have produced an affluent middle class with a comfortable lifestyle and most importantly, freedom. The stomping on American’s rights and freedom is blatantly happening with all politically aware Americans to see up close and personal. Shrinking the middle class is a strategy of the aristocracy throughout the world. 

Other nation’s middle classes are also going through this frontal attack by their establishment. This process has been seen throughout western Europe especially in England’s Brexit and France’s new centrist economic reformer President Macron. However, the USA is the lynchpin that must be pulled for collapsing the productive western civilization.

These USA progressive elites are leading an invasion within the “deep state shadow government.” The pungent smell of a total transformation of America is so strong that these elites are discarding any disguise of their intentions to bring down America. They are openly attempting to reverse Donald Trump’s election win by impeachment on any pretense they can create. They are doing this through leaks by progressive democrats and   the establishment controlled media. The media is blatantly making up false narratives that are unknowingly exposing their objective of decreasing the middle class and the American exceptionalism.

Americans’ social mobility is no longer cherished but it is being de-incentivized by the progressive welfare state. “Peasants” climbing the social ladder is the greatest threat to the continuing power of the upper crust. Competition from upstarts has been systematically limited by our progressive laws, money manipulation, business regulations and corrupt corny capitalism. The invisible forces of capitalism have been replaced by the heavy hand of our nation’s aristocracy. America has systematically withdrawn from encouraging competition to a centrally controlled economy.

The economic/cultural civil war is far from over. The progressive globalists thought it was a done deal under the Obama administration. The unexpected populist vote of President Trump has shocked the world’s globalists. These elites are much less confident although many still think it is only a matter of time before a one-world-government will become reality.

It is up to freedom loving people in their own nations to become and remain aware of new initiatives in the country’s laws to determine whether they are in the national interest or the political elite’s interest. When there is uncertainty, the public should ask questions to expose the real intentions and demand they serve all the people. These political warriors need to unite and organize to verbally insist on the right to participate in our representative governmental process.

Only by the middle class asserting their rights and power will the arrogant “smuggers” be held accountable. Our representatives should concentrate on improving the conditions of the country which will make the world a safer, more stable and better place.

Only by citizens staying vigilant can we break the chains preventing the United States from regaining the spirit of our exceptionalism and western civilization.

PARENTAL SACRED DUTY

PARENTAL SACRED DUTY

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

Parents are very concerned about the schools their children attend. They want the best education their money can buy. The rich and famous put their child in the finest, most exclusive schools. Parents often drive their child across town to place them in the best public school available. Almost all parents want a quality education for their children. 

These parents understand that their children have to learn an incredible amount of academic material, thinking skills as well as appropriate behaviors to be successful in life. The major issue that many parents often forget is that they are the most influential teacher the child will ever have. It is a responsibility they should not take lightly. 

Training one’s child should start in infancy or as soon as possible. Waiting until the infant enters preschool often leaves the child behind others who have the advantage of parents being more proactive during this period. Parents are not even requiring their toddlers to speak the appropriate word before receiving an object they want. 

With the convenience of disposable diapers parents are being lulled into merely changing a diaper instead of completing the potty training regime. This is the reason many parents are satisfied with their child not being potty trained before the age of 3, 4 or even 5 years-of age instead of the time honored 18 months to 2 years-old time periods that was the norm for generations. This lack of beginning the potty training process on the proper time has caused many of them to be diagnosed with a mental health label that would have been avoided with proper and appropriate parenting.

The same bypassing of sensitive periods for children’s training is causing unnecessary problems.  Children need a consistent schedule to thrive. The expectation for the child to eat various foods is not being demanded. The structure for the child to go to bed and wake up at a particular time is not being followed. This structure is necessary for a healthy environment in a child’s daily development. 

Compounding this is modern parents inability to set up a consistent schedule for their child due to their harried life. Their work is often demanding of their time and energy. By the time they get home there is little flexibility to do spontaneous things with the child. Many special trips are left for the weekend or days off. These are quality times such as visits to the park, special social play-dates with friends, and visits to friends and relatives. There is little opportunity for one-on-one training time. 

Quantity time is a radically different occasion. The parent is spending time with the child with no particular object in mind. The child is in a comfortable, safe environment. There is no script and the parent has the opportunity to intervene spontaneously. “You should be more gentle with the cat.” “You need to put away these things before taking out others.” The parent is able to see how the child thinks and acts in everyday settings. The parent is spending “quantity time” with the child and learns through their own interaction with the child rather than a sterile report from a childcare worker. The parents and child have time to bond allowing both to better understand each other. Much of the teaching and learning takes place during these spontaneous moments when the need presents itself.  These are teachable moments that happen unpredictably and make a significant contribution to the child’s future. Quality time cannot be overestimated as an irreplaceable opportunity to impact a child’s development.

Parents are the ultimate authority figures and teachers of the child. No one can replace that role. The child is an indicator of his parent’s involvement with him. Mannerisms, thoughts, speech, facial expressions are shaped by the parents. There is strong biological connection that cannot be discounted or underestimated. 

When parents relinquish the responsibility as parents their child suffers in numerous ways. They have no security that the parents will always be there for them. They become open to negative people who do not have their best interest at heart. These children often become a burden and a blemish on the family and community.

The parent’s sacred duty is to be there protecting and preparing their child to be the best he/she can be throughout life. Ideally the parents will be committed to the child for the rest of their life. This gives continuity from one generation to another. It cements the most important social unit, the family.

 It goes without saying that parents often play a pivotal role throughout their children’s lives. They should always be there to lend support and to assist their adult child’s journey. Often the parents’ most important legacy is their child and family, which takes time and effort to accomplish. 

Society prospers when children become high functioning citizens. Parents are essential in raising their children. No government program can replace dedicated fathers and mothers in any society. Parents who do their sacred duty deserve the appreciation of all of us.

IN THE USA WE ARE NOT EQUAL BUT HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER OURSELVES

IN THE USA WE ARE NOT EQUAL BUT HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER OURSELVES

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. 

There is not anyone who can think or see who believes everyone is equal. Everyone is unique including so called “identical twins.” Yet we are indoctrinated with the slogan, “everyone is equal.” People range from short to tall, beautiful to ugly, bright to slow but all can equally become the best they can be by maximizing their strengths and minimizing their short comings.

America, being a nation of immigrants, did not attempt to limit or prescribe what a person should become according to family status or any other criteria. In our capitalist economy, the merit of the person’s performance for the most part determines his financial compensation. Doing a competent job not who you know is more important to maintaining employment. An employee’s productive value to the business is the key to remaining and advancing in a position. 

Of course internal politics plays a role in advancement specifically in large corporations. Our economic system in the USA is not flawless but does offer numerous pathways to upward mobility for people who are willing to apply effort and concentration to their assignments. In start-up businesses the boss is inspired mostly by his own vision, initiative and devotion to the business. Commitment, perseverance and sweat go a long way in developing a viable business.

The incredible number of opportunities and success stories of people picking themselves up by their bootstraps is no longer enough to persuade many in this society of capitalism’s value. Currently too many Americans are accepting the utopian “easy way” notion that they are entitled to whatever they desire. According to this absurd idea, since we are all born human each of us deserves an equal portion of the economic pie. They insist on this even when they are not contributing anything to the making of the pie. “Equal” to them means having the same material benefits as anyone else without having to earn them. This is socialistic hocus pocus that has never worked and will not in the future. Yet most products of the university (students) are being converted to be proponents of this socialistic/communistic continually failed system. 

 Our universities and progressive media are using their position to constantly exploit the inequities between minority groups to alienate students. They do not appreciate our free market economy and the greatness that our country has accomplished. They do not view  America as the land of opportunity. Instead, professors incessantly twist information to create a horrendous narrative that white males, the 1%-ers, are oppressing the poor criminals, feminists, gender confused, homosexuals and Islamic people of the world. The pitting of minority groups against each other has resulted in deranged and angry agitators. These mentally unbalanced dreamers are looking for the magical utopian solution offered by the elite, all-wise teachers to solve all their personal issues. The gullible but arrogant students complain they need higher compensation for their menial jobs and should start at the top position as they have college degrees. More politically radical students hide their identity behind black clothing and masks and violently destroy private property of the corporate world and at times their own community. These criminal malcontents want the rapid transformation of America into a centrally controlled economy and state.

Destroying anything is easier than building and maintaining something. Being envious of what others have built is foolish and non productive. It results in a life of disappointment and misery which culminates in indiscriminate violence ending in political chaos and ruin. The French Revolution and many others throughout history ended in horror instead of the magnificent privileges and material goods they were promised.

In our nation self-centered and self-important university professionals. and media elites preach and divide our country into have and have-nots. This strategy is employed to foment hostility and hatred to eventually destroy our constitutional republic.

This nightmare scenario might sell in a college setting with naive, ignorant and inexperienced adolescents and self-important adults but is not being bought by the bulk of middle class American citizens. The USA is still the beacon of freedom to most mainstream American citizens and the rest of freedom loving people around the world.

Just look at the different people from all over the world willing to pay their way with as much as a half million dollars of their own money or risk their lives to illegally cross the border to become one of us. People around the world are making a strong statement with their feet and money to become part of our country. Improving oneself and carving out one’s own sanctuary world is a sign of wisdom for these courageous individuals. 

If any American does not understand the obvious real greatness of America, the only thing they have to do is travel and experience the difficulties of expressing one’s beliefs and ideas in other nations. The difficulty of moving up the employment ladder is easily realized by conversing with bright and energetic people who are restricted by their government regulations from starting their own businesses. 

Once you realize the difficulty for the people of other countries to deal with these two social issues, you will appreciate the greatness of our nation. America is still the land of opportunity and freedom.

NOT KEEPING ONE'S WORD DESTROYS RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNITY ADHESIVENESS

NOT KEEPING ONE’S WORD DESTROYS RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNITY ADHESIVENESS
BY Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

People are dependent and interdependent on others. The infant is totally dependent on a caretaker to survive. As the child physically matures, the need for a caretaker decreases although psychologically, emotionally socially and safety issues still impact the chances to remain alive and develop into a healthy person. A person needs to have a sense of security and faith in the world around them to blossom.
Obviously parents or another caretaker who stops feeding, protecting or loving the child increases the possibility of the child not prospering and even death. We have learned that children in institutions who are not physically held and caressed can die even when all the physical needs are met. This is called “marasmus.” This shows the importance of caring and stable personal relationships to people’s well-being and ability to function well.
There are too many individual casualties of dysfunctional families who have been neglected, abused or have had their lives shattered by their parents’ divorce. These parents did not keep their sacred word to remain in the marriage until “death does us part.” Divorce is the death of the family, and the eventual destruction of a child’s security. All the flowering rationalizations in the world cannot erase the ongoing pain an individual suffers for their parent’s self-centered breakup of the family.
Breaking of one’s word has significant negative impact on others. When a repairman tells us that we have a two-hour window when he will come, we plan around it. The person has to reschedule life to be there at a specific time so if the repairperson does not show up or give a timely call to reschedule the appointment we are rightfully upset. The customer feels that the individual repairman did not have the decency to call and inform them of his reasons for not showing up.
Being a person of one’s word currently has little dividends in a modern, anonymous society. Our communities currently are spread out in suburban and urban areas. We buy online or in large box stores that are often far from our homes. Our neighbors are not the people we usually interact with in doing business. We download Home Advisor when we need things done around the house.
Rarely do we personally know the person who comes to do the repair, or do they know us. Any person we do not know well can tell us any personal story as well as we can tell them. We have few clues to go on to determine a person’s character except their appearance. We have to accept them on faith.
The problem with the constant assault of people not keeping their word is it affects the public perception of others. It forces most people to ignore this appalling, discourteous and rude behavior. There are too many people resorting to lazy passive lying. The more dishonorable behavior takes place without stigma attached, and no

backlash. This acceptance of not following through on one’s word is going to become more common until it is considered normal.
Once it is widely practiced, an honest person becomes very tempted to do the same, as it is easier not to keep one’s word. Eventually those who keep their word regardless of how hard they struggle their will power to do the right thing dwindles. These people of their word surrender to the easy way of lying to themselves and others.
As the process of lying grows, principled people lose faith in others and themselves to make honest commitments to others and fulfill them. Relationships become harder to forge and keep. Entire communities becomes distrustful of each other, making business and assisting others less likely and more difficult because they do not want to have a shattering let down of despair and depression.
Without individuals going out of the way to keep their integrity by following through on their word, relationships and eventually communities’ adhesiveness erodes and dissolves into personal and community chaos.
The same phenomena can happen in reverse. When the society recognizes and rewards honest citizens who go out of their comfort zone to assist others this behavior will become contagious. We witness this interesting reaction with the campaign of “acts of kindness”.
“Keeping one’s word” may not be as dramatic as acts of kindness although it is a character trait that is indispensable in establishing a solid and kind foundation for relationships in the community.
