Starve the Monkeys That Eat Away At Your Life An Individualist's Guide to Fighting Modern Progressives Laissez Faire Isn't

Inside Starving The Monkeys An Entrepreneurial Horror by Tom Baugh Who Are the Monkeys? Table of Contents Foreword Selected Excerpts About the Author Errata	Well, I'll tell you. What is going on is the deliberate and systematic effort to squeeze the essence of you out of you, and replace it with something more compliant and docile. Sometimes you are given reasons why you are being thwarted, and then you make the mistake of trying to prove those reasons wrong. Don't bother. I've been there before, and now the consequences for this fight are getting higher and higher. You will just waste your time dealing with people who won't give you the real reason why they want to get in your way. As they smirk at you with their fake, pasted-on smiles, exercising power over you that you have handed to them. And their real reason is that your individuality threatens their model of the world, and their place in it. A place which wouldn't exist if people like you didn't stay in yours. Because they need you, but you don't need them, and they know it. Would I like to sell ten million copies? Sure! Who wouldn't? But that's not going to happen with a book like this. No, I would rather reach a few key people instead. The few people that actually make the country work. And that can make it stop working. And they are not the leaders of industry, either, like Ayn Rand thought they were. In all likelihood, the people I'm talking about are sitting in cubicles or in their garages or basements right now reading this. These people are probably you. And you, through your own individual merit and hard work, have more power, much more power, than you probably realize. You just have to understand the issues in the right way to understand this power. And how to use it. The problems that face us are complex, too complex to lend themselves to sound-bite solutions. But curiously, the solution is very, very simple, and takes us back to the innate individualism that made this country great. If you had the right frame of mind, I could explain it to you in less than a minute. But we have been so programmed by our modern collectivist culture to think a certain way, and to doubt our own judgement. So I had to write about four hundred pages to make it make sense. If you have read to this point, it is because your frustration with the way things are has just about hit the boiling point. And yet, some of you won't buy this book unless someone tells you it is OK. This is part of the cultural programming we have all experienced. If you wait for a Beck or a Limbaugh or a Hannity or whoever to tell you it is OK to buy this book and read it, you will be waiting a LONG time, because they are flicking the numbers around on the abacus and know that this book will enrage a lot of their listeners. Worse, it will make some of their listeners start thinking in a different direction. OK, then, I'll do it. I'll tell you its OK. It's OK to buy this book and read it. You can get it from amazon right now. When you get my book, read it from cover to cover. Don't try to skip ahead and get to the "good stuff". It's ALL good stuff, but you won't recognize some of it as such until you are almost finished with the book. If you read some of it out of context, you might get exactly the oppposite of the message I am trying to convey. As you read it, I try to get you to put it down, because some of the material will make some of you want to throw it against the wall in disgust. Because some of those ideas tickle a little part inside of some of you, a little part that will do anything to protect its hold on you. The monkeys have installed a little control program in your mind to make sure that you keep feeding them. Ayn Rand tickled this little part, too, in her book "Atlas Shrugged". It is for this reason that people who try to read "Atlas Shrugged" either finish it and love it, or else can't finish it and just "don't get it". This effect is SO STRONG that you can use it as a screening tool to see if someone you are talking to has an open mind or not. Now, it isn't 100% effective, as someone who started that book may have had some family trauma or something intervene that kept them from finishing it. But you can still get a pretty good idea just by asking simple questions like "what did you think of John Galt's speech?" or "what did you think about Galt's Gulch?" The other day Glenn Beck asked something along the lines of "Where are all the Orren Boyles" or something like that. From the context of his discussion, an "Atlas Shrugged" reader would know that he had no idea what he was saying. He just kind of pulled some stuff out of the Cliff Notes version, I suppose, and thought it would sound cool. But, in all fairness, at least he admits that he never finished the book. Hmmmm. In my book, "Starving the Monkeys", I've turned this screening dial ALL the way up. I want some people to put it down before they finish it. Just like I don't want them to read this page through to where you are reading right now. Because those people are part of the problem. A big part of it. And I don't want them to see the solution that I present to you in "Starving the Monkeys". Page 1 \| Page 2 \| Page 3	Get it from amazon:
