Starve the Monkeys That Eat Away At Your Life An Individualist's Guide to Fighting Our Nation's Leeches Lost Your Business? Build Something They Can't Steal.

Inside Starving The Monkeys Fight Back Smarter by Tom Baugh Who Are the Monkeys? Table of Contents Foreword Selected Excerpts About the Author Errata	But why don't you count to all those media personalities? Because their business is volume. Even their new Fox Nation site has an Uncle Sam figure (a figure introduced by early progressives, by the way) exhorting you to buy their cups and stuff. Ooohh, I'm sure Obama and Pelosi are shaking in their jackboots that you might have a Fox cup! Gasp! Maybe you can shake them at the cameras during some tea parties and drive some more sales. And these media types know that, ultimately, there aren't enough of you, the real you, to matter. All they care about is whether or not they can keep the numbers up. Just like any politician. All they have to do is package a little bit of what you want to hear in with a bunch of other pap and you'll tune in day after day and visit their sponsors. Or buy their cups or bumper stickers or posters or shirts. Because they KNOW that you are looking for something. And if you found it, you wouldn't need them anymore, would you? Well, you found it. Right here. This book. And those pundits are going to be upset. Because after you read it, you will see why their message is broken, and twisted to get you to believe a certain thing. Which makes them part of the problem too. And they know it, which could explain why Glenn Beck's media people refused to allow me to place advertising for this book on his site because I disagree with him on some issues. Even as he is on TV telling you to let him know how he is wrong, while batting those sad, puppy dog eyes. 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 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. 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 trained you your entire life to make sure that you keep feeding them and protecting them. Their social training is so effective that even thinking about not obeying it causes you stress and anger. And that anger will first make you angry at me. Because a big part of how the monkeys try to control you is to get you to fight anyone who threatens their food supply. This effect, of anger at simple discussion, can be used as a screening tool to see if someone you are talking to has an open mind or not. In my book, "Starving the Monkeys", I've turned this screening dial ALL the way up. Some of the ideas in that book might make some people angry. Other readers might get numb and wander off. 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	Shop our Online Store or or Get it on Kindle
