Seeds Of Socrates
In the 4th century BC, the city-state Athens
was governed by a representative democracy.
The year was 399 BC at the famous Trial of
Socrates: perhaps our planet’s greatest
benefactor was sentenced to death by Athens’
justice system. Historic accounts reveal
that Socrates could have averted the
politically motivated death sentence. But
Socrates refused. Even when given the
opportunity to escape from jail prior to
drinking the poisoned hemlock, Socrates
refused. Athens’ justice system convicted
and sentenced him to death, and Athens was
going to get exactly that. At
seventy-years-old, Socrates sacrificed his
life to leave the world his greatest
political message:
Socrates’ Greatest Political Message
Socrates’
greatest political message was: Society
and its citizens must live by its rule of
law…as did Socrates at the cost of his
own life. The law, however, had better be
flawless-law or society will lose its
greatest benefactors and values…as
Athens lost Socrates.
Socrates planted the seeds of
Hamilton-America…of the Twelve-Visions
World: Society must be governed by rule
of law…flawless law. 2400 years ago,
Socrates decided his beautiful message was
worth dying for. Socrates’ sacrifice has not
been lost. Today, 2400-years after the Trial
of Socrates, the

Why We Need a New Political Party
We see the century-long trend: the
Democratic Party and the Republican Party
have become all about gaining political
power.
Therefore, today I introduce the
Twelve Visions Party, a new political party
that reverses the century-long power-grab by
making politics
only
about protection and
not
about power.
I will begin by saying:
There are ostensible qualities I
love about the Democratic Party and the
Republican Party, from which rises the
Twelve Visions Party:
Let’s start with the Democratic Party:
I love the Democrats’ idea of
tolerance, acceptance, and protection of all
races, religions, and social classes.
The problem, as I pointed out before,
is that our political parties supplant their
good original intentions with a thirst for
political power.
So, the Democratic Party’s tolerance
and love for people has transmogrified into
a grotesque power-play to win groups…to win
certain races, religions, and social classes
or
voting segments of our population, which
has led to extraordinarily damaging
consequences.
For example, democrats push for
extensive entitlements for those voting
segments, in essence buying their votes.
Those entitlements are now sinking
America into mind-boggling debt.
Those entitlements are bankrupting
our children’s futures.
The original, beautiful idea of tolerance,
acceptance, and protection of all people, of
minorities and all religions and the
unprotected ‘little guys’ inspired me and my
Now let’s shift to the Republican Party:
I love the Republicans’ idea of
fiscal responsibility and limited
government.
The problem, as I pointed out before,
is that our political parties supplant their
good original intentions with a thirst for
political power.
So, the Republican Party’s fiscal
responsibility and limited government (when
in power) transmogrified into fiscal
irresponsibility and government
empowerment…into a grotesque power-play to
buy or pander to groups or
voting segments of our population, which
has led to extraordinarily damaging
consequences.
For example, republicans when in
power push for elaborate spending sprees
(and for mandating morals) that please
voting segments, in essence buying their
votes.
Those spending sprees now contribute
to America’s insurmountable debt.
Those spending sprees are now
bankrupting our children’s futures.
The original, beautiful idea of fiscal
responsibility and limited government
inspired me and my Twelve Vision Party idea.
In
order to truly limit government, my Twelve
Vision Party idea introduced the fundamental
budget of limited government — the
Protection-Only Budget.
The Protection-Only Budget funds only
the fundamental, prime purpose of our
government — physical safety and protection,
which includes military, intelligence,
domestic security, justice, courts, prisons,
police, veterans.
The Protection-Only Budget protects
everyone equally and does not favor a
specific group or voting segment of the
population.
Therefore, the vote-gathering
power-play is not available for republicans.
Thus, the Republican Party
hypocritically and shamefully has no
interest in the Protection-Only Budget and
its
massive reductions that would
immediately wipe out the deficit and
eventually the debt.
That responsibility to limit
government and eradicate the debt instead
falls on the Twelve Visions Party.
In the end, the old party’s
ostensible quality of fiscal responsibility
and limited government, which I fell in love
with, has been used as a trick to gain votes
and political power at our expense.
Now, the
The Prime Law of Protection and the
Protection-Only Budget capture the
beautiful, original intentions of the
Democrats and Republicans while removing the
hypocritical tricks and power-plays.
In many ways, the Democrats and the
Republicans have become the same:
their drive for political power has
supplanted their original intentions.
Indeed, when in power they are both
spending away our country’s future, sending
us into mind-boggling debt, bankrupting our
children’s future.
Soon, there will be nothing left if
we stay with those two old political
parties.
The answer is the new Twelve Visions
Party.
With the TVP National Platform,
Make
All the People Rich,
Including the Poor, I announce the
birth of the Twelve Visions Party.
The
Prime Law of Protection and
The
Protection-Only Budget are the two
pillars that hold up this new party.
They manifest the original beauty
behind the two old parties without the lies,
tricks, and power-plays that destroyed those
beautiful original intentions.
If you ask me
why
the beautiful original intentions of
Republicans and Democrats — those original
intentions of fiscal responsibility/limited
government and
tolerance/acceptance/protection of all
people —
why
those beautiful intentions have instead
bankrupted our country, I will tell you that
the answer comes down to the steadily rising
rule of man in America.
Rule of man — flaw-filled man —
craves political power and promptly
establishes a ruling class.
For two-hundred years, the rule of
nearly flawless law — our Constitution — has
been steadily weakened by the rising rule of
man…by federal judges, congressmen,
presidents, bureaucrats, journalists…a
strengthening ruling class thirsty for
political power and control.
The rising rule of man and his strengthening
ruling class of Democrats and Republicans
have severely damaged this country.
Ordinary people are suffering.

Those Twelve Visions are fully developed in
my book
The
Twelve Visions of the Twelve Visions Party®
(300-pages).
At first glance people automatically
dismiss the Twelve Visions as unrealistic
utopia.
There is
no
way human beings can have all that
perfection in this imperfect world!
As far-fetched and easily dismissible
— even kooky — as the Twelve Visions seem in
this sinking, collapsing America…just
remember: the world has NEVER seen the Great
Technological Revolution — NEVER!
The personal computer revolution was a small
microcosm and a forerunner.
Computer buying power multiplied a
thousandfold!
With that in mind, imagine your
buying power in general multiplying a
thousandfold while super technologies and
super entrepreneurs race forward as free and
fast as the unhindered personal computer
industry of the late 20th century.
Imagine it for a moment, then look
again at the Twelve Visions above.
Suddenly some of those Twelve Visions
no longer seem so far-fetched!
Right?
My trilogy

world in which the Twelve Visions above come
to life.
