Me by the Cheers Bar in Boston December 2023
Dear Loyal Readers,
So, I have a thing for names and phrases. I suppose this makes sense because I studied Marketing at the University of Florida- but I've always been enchanted with words and phrases that work- especially when it pertains to creating a successful business. That's why I chose the picture above with me in front of the very successful business named for the sitcom from the 1980's. I loved that show and I really like the effectiveness of the name. It really fits ! It's short and to the point and with one syllable you get the "jest" of the show and/or the actual bar in Boston. Also, since I put my wife on my blog yesterday I decided to put myself on a blog too so you can see my "mug" - which is a great word - (probably an old fashioned word, since I'm really good with those for some reason) "Mug" just means face for all you "puppy readers" those born after 2000. So I picked that picture because I've decided to explore names in this blog as I sort of "think out loud" regarding how I aim to move forward with this blog and with a book I'm working on.
As I mentioned in my blog before last "Mad King George Protests an Elected President" (here's the link if you feel so inclined, dear readers Mad King George Protests an Elected President ) I struggle with names regarding the tyranny that lords over us here in the 21st century. I came up with Mad King George for various reasons including as a historical reference to the founding of the United States. I am a history "buff" and am especially enchanted with American history. I still am concerned that MKG is a little too "light" in that King George was simply struggling to hold on to an enormous empire that stretched over the entire planet. No, he wasn't "good" but his malevolence was very obvious and plain to see for everyone and some of his decision probably were due to his well-known mental illness. There's "Marxists" but is that too dramatic ? Communists ? Same thing - maybe too dramatic and not totally true but it's certainly close (unfortunately). The difference is, of course the tyranny and control doesn't just come from government, it also comes from corporations and other actors. So, I look more closely at The Sylent Tyrants as it reveals what's really going on. This tyranny is quiet and subtle. It's not loud and alarming like Hitler and the Nazis. It's not obvious with a monstrous personality demanding the "removal" of an entire race of people as Hitler demanded. It's not puffing out its chest and strutting around Rome like Mussolini. It's not starving entier countries like Stalin. It's just slowly, quietly, dividing the American people and suggesting the founding of our country is not such an impressive thing. It diminishes our history by throwing doubt into the public discussion and the education of our children.
The United States is the only country founded and built on the concept of free men doing as they wish to do and building a new country with a marvel of inventions and prosperity that the world has never seen. There is no other country in the world like it. It is a threat to tyrants because they need all men to feel small and incapable. That is why I steer towards "Silent Tyrants" because they are clandestine and malevolent and against the people- but they often pretend they're the opposite. They are the communists, marxists, nazis, monarchies, that seek to control people albeit through subtle means such as through our schools, entertainment, media and even the drugs we take. They will do everything in their power to prevent the spread of American idealism.
So, from now on I will typically refer to the enemies of the people- of the United States and all Democracies throughout the world - particularly Western Civilization- as "the Silent Tyrants". I'm not saying I will stop with all the other adjectives if I feel compelled in a given sentence, such as "Marxists" when referring to the Democrats., but what I'm saying is from now on as a general reference to ALL those opposed to the common man- Government, Corporations, political parties, the media, entertainment, academia, and any lobbyists working for any of these listed. They are Silent Tyrants working against the people and against what our founding fathers established through great risk. Through much sweat and tears. All of those men risked hanging for even suggesting what they aimed to do. They were the "studs" of the 18th Century. If there is a group of men to be marveled at such as the Avengers or any of the cartoon movies of today- it is these men who risked death and brought so much to the world through intelligence and passion and grit. Our children should learn all of their names and be able to recite their words and deeds before leaving middle school. It should be required understanding in order to be allowed to vote. Nothing less is acceptable in my humble opinion.
"The Silent Tyrants" - May the lash of my words fall upon all of their pitiful shoulders.
