Scientific management established objectively based norms of production for every job in the armory. Workers are often times kept under surveillance, and their actual productivity is measured against the established productivity norms. The results of these methods have generally led to a dramatic increase in productivity and decrease in costs. The principles of calculability and … Continue reading
America’s Best Kept Secret—The Winchester Mansion
Four years ago, I had a party that was too much fun for me. There was a guy who said he would give me everything I need. As I recall, when I was a five-year-old in China, I had been offered up to a Satanic cult and forced to participate in unspeakable rites. During a … Continue reading
Is the Soul’s Health More Important than All the Powers of this World?
I cannot say that truth is stranger than fiction, because I have never had acquaintance with either. Whoever is without guile, let one lie down with the lion and the lamb and be not ashamed of one’s nakedness; for they shall put a ring upon one’s hand and shoes upon one’s feet; and all that … Continue reading
Ask What You Can Do for Your Country!
Man, evidently, was tired of merely having plants and animals and slaves to serve him, and robbing nature’s treasures of metal and stone, wood and yarn, of managing her water in canals and wells, of breaking her resistances with ships and roads, bridges and tunnels and dams. Now he meant not merely to plunder her … Continue reading

Lust of conquest will have long ago done its work; trampling upon the helpless abroad will teach her, by a natural process, to endure … Continue reading

We, free citizens of the Great Republic, feel an honest pride in her greatness, her strength, her just and gentle government, her wide liberties, her honored name, her stainless history, her unsmirched flag, her hands clean from oppression of the weak and from malicious conquest, her hospital door that stands open to the hunted and … Continue reading
The Acting Head of the Human Race
Slaves, look at them! They abase themselves before clothes and the accident of birth—silver-glit nursery-baubles again—lord, it sizes-up the quality of the human race! The human race, that has such a fine opinion of itself. There is not a place of value in that place that goes by merit; not a rich sinecure but is … Continue reading
That Duality Cripples the Soul of Our Being
It was in the Hall of Sovereigns in the same palace which the Acting Head of the Human Race, and the Family had occupied, for many centuries. It is still the most gorgeous—and I think the most beautiful, too—in the Empire. Its gilded masses cover miles of space, and blaze like the fallen sun. Its … Continue reading
I’m Telling You, You the Hood Billionaire
Much progress has been made in America in every way possible, especially with medicine, technology, and race relations. However, there is a small faction of people that tend to make it appear that American people, through the Civil Rights movement and their challenge to racism in this country, have not accomplished anything. And that is … Continue reading
