The Bison Build It Back Project (Part 2)
Some Things are Meant to Stay the Same.
About Us
Welcome to the Bison Build It Back Project
The Bison Build It Back Project is dedicated to bringing the "old school" traditions back from the brink of no-man's land. The Present Day has no tradition. Period. It is a mix of simply ... "do whatever you like ... for whatever reason." We dismiss this approach to living and believe it breeds disaster because there is no direction. Therefore, its time to make a push to bring back some of the "once ways." Not all of them, because not all of them were good. But some of them? Yep! This is what this project is about.
What is the Bison?
The "Bison" is a fictitious Hero dedicated to protecting all things that are good and positive in the United States by addressing the countries most pressing issues, head on. For thousands of years, Bison frequented the North American countryside grazing. They are known for having a very peculiar instinct: When a storm approaches, they charge directly into the it instead of running away, which is the behavior of their close relatives, cows. The bison do this because they instinctively know that heading into the storm will get them out of the weather quicker. This animals’ behavior has often been used as a metaphor for how to deal with challenges in life. The idea is that by facing a challenge head on, you can limit the amount of time you spend in it and minimize the pain and frustration you experience. This is how our Hero ... the Bison ... addresses challenges.
What is the Goal?
Our goal is to fix the problem. Our approach is to take an aggressive stance on awareness. We are doing this by acknowledging that everything that matters to people runs "downstream" from culture. Culture is first. Culture is King. Therefore, in order to reach the masses, you have to send a cultural message. You are welcome to assist us!
Addressing Cultural Challenges
Why is This Important?
It is important to address cultural challenges because it is too late to fix them once they evolve in to safety or legal problems. Once these problems become large enough they become targets for enemies of the United States. And if our enemies can use these problems well enough, they can set up a dynamic inside our country where by they can invade without worrying about a single person fighting them once they get here.
The Invasion
Keep one thing in mind: if we are ever invaded by a foreign military force who reaches our soil and starts shooting at us in our own country ... I suspect that you are going to immediately stop complaining about all the things that mattered to you the day before the invasion started. All of a sudden, in a matter of mere seconds: it won't matter that a person has a different skin color than you and therefore has a different opinion about something ... it won't matter that a cop who supposedly didn't do his job properly didn't receive the proper discipline from the police department ... it won't matter that an educator supposedly steered some kids down the wrong path while they were in his or her classroom. None of this will matter.
Many people glorify "the fight" or the "resistance" like defying your own country is some kind of cool trend of a fad. But trust me ... when war comes to your door step ... you won't like it no matter which side you are on.
Civil War (Trailer):

The Aftermath
Instead, you will PRAY TO GOD that any one of these individuals instantly forget about all of the differences of opinions that you all have, pick up a gun, and start shooting at the same people you are shooting at.
All you will want for Christmas in that the foreigners are dealt with. And you would willingly fight alongside anybody and everybody who will fight along side you to help protect the country from a common enemy. You'll be grabbing the first thing in sight to try to stop them ... and you won't care whether the person fighting next to you agrees with you or looks like you. Be it a different skin color, a police badge, or even an ankle bracelet attached to their ankle (because they just got out of jail)? It WON'T matter.
In 5 seconds flat, all Americans will be best buds, instantly. And all of us would start working together to repel a common enemy. Why? Because no American who is living here in America wants to be forced to speak Chinese, Russian, or Korean in their own country!
Address Cultural Toxicity Through Old School Revitalization
Cultural toxicity can lead to a lot of bad things. The best approach to preventing it is to avoid it. There were fewer societal challenges a few decades ago. Every one agrees with this statement. Therefore, we should all move things back to the Old School instead of simply accepting a new "status quo" and then wondering why everything is so 'effed up. Read on. And enjoy the ideas.
Bring Back Old School Entertainment Performances
Bring Back Lip-Sync Performances
Old School Performances like concerts and festivals involved a performance that actually far less stressful on the performer than the performances of the present day. Back in the day, the performers lip-synced their lyrics during a concert. Not only was this easier on the performer, but, the crowd never knew nor did they care. The performances were better because the performers were able to focus on their dance moves instead of getting winded trying to sing the same song they had already sang in the studio. The schedule was also a lot less hectic.
Bring Back the Old Singer / Songwriter Relationship ... With a Twist
In the "olden days" the singers sang other people's songs and did not have to worry about trying to come up with their own. But they also lost out on the publishing money. The old school relationship between singers and songwriters needs to be brought back except with a little twist to the dynamic: give an automatic percentage of the song to the singer, and take that decision out of the contracts ... make it federal law. This would ease the pressure for singers to write songs and also take some control away from others and give performances more a guarantee.
Make the Tour Schedule Less Aggressive - By A Lot!
One thing that was harsh and over-bearing even in Old School Entertainment was the ... the schedule! For the first time ever ... congress should pass federal laws restricting the schedules to give entertainers enough time to rest and spend time with their families. There have been countless deaths in the entertainment industry that resulted from mistakes made because of the horrible schedule they keep while performing. Examples are: Whitney Houston, Aliyah, Left Eye. Make it easier for them to entertain us while being able to maintain their own sense of stability. Take a look at what Michael Jackson said about his own tour schedule:
"I Go Through Hell on Tour"
Conclusion
Let's bring back the easier approach to help support our entertainers. Bring back Old School Entertainment Performances. There is enough money in entertainment to go around. We don't need to make it hard on the performers. They already work hard enough. The industry already has enough. People have had enough. Enough is enough.
Bring Back Old School Outdoor Entertainment
Outdoor Play for Kids is Extremely Important
Outdoor play for kids is extremely important. This is where they learn social skills, get exercise, and work off some of their extra energy. This is where they finish off their day's worth of energy, try new things, see their friends ... and then finish up right in time to come home hungry for dinner. There is no substitute for outdoor play. Every effort should be made to bring it back, no matter the cost.
The Original Arcade Was Out in Public, Not in the Home
Video games existed before "console gaming systems." The original video games were stand-up units and they were placed in venues around town, out in public. Each game was $25 cents and you lined your quarters up on the game in order to know who was going to play the game next. The kids were young ... and there were little ladies there, too, watching to see if you won the game or not. It was exciting. You're friends were there. And you could stay all day.
The Original Arcade Was a "Non-Alcoholic Watering Hole" for Kids
The original arcade game venues were "watering holes" for kids. There was pizza and ice cream there ... not booz. Kids would get dropped off by their parents at these non-alcoholic watering holes. The kids would stay there all day, playing video games with their friends. As long as you kept winning the game, you didn't have spend another quarter.
The New "Console Gaming System" Was Created
The arcade concept was furthered with the creation of the "Console Gaming System." These systems introduced gaming in to the home for the first time. On the box of one of these new computer systems the caption read: "Welcome to the World of Friendly Computing." Kids no longer had to leave the house to play video games. They could play them at home while sitting on the couch in the living room.
"Console Gaming Systems" Ruined an Otherwise Good Thing
However, the video arcade concept was ruined when the "Console Gaming System" was introduced. This is because these so called "console gaming systems" moved entertainment from outside to inside. These consoles took something that was initially done with your friends to something that was done, alone.
These gaming systems eliminated the need for a quarter or the need to meet up in public. The entire video game phenomena was never about playing games. It was always about getting together with your friends and having fun.
Playing video games in public was also about being rewarded for being good at something; watching the looks on your friend's' faces when they saw you do something amazing while playing the video game.
And, if you were lucky, a little lady might be standing by and get excited when she saw the move you did? Maybe you even had a crush on her? She might even smile. And even better? She might let you buy her some ice cream! Then, you two can sit down while you explain to her how she can do what you just did when she palsy the video game. Yes ... the video arcades back then had soda pop and ice cream!
Conclusion
We need to bring back Old School Outdoor Play for kids and encourage the adults to do the same. Of course the world is not as safe as it used to be. But this is only because we are letting it stay this way. We should stand up to negative patterns like this. Face them head-on. Fix them. Then rejoice in a New Normal. We can do it!
Bring Back Old School "After-School" Television
Old School After School TV Was Hopeful
Several decades ago, the kinds of TV shows that were on television for kids were hopeful. Every day, after school, kids of all ages eagerly headed home to sit in front of the television and watch their favorite TV show. Regardless of what show was a child's favorite, they all had one thing in common ... the shows were hopeful.
Old School After-School TV Was Relevant
Old School After-School Television was relevant. This means that the shows that kids watched were relevant to what they should be learning. It meant that the shows contained certain content and storylines that helped to reinforce positive values, equality in compassion, and a love of country. Some modern day shows are purely entertainment and don't really offer anything else. But TV had historically been about more than just entertainment. While some may consider this approach to be "indoctrination" ... we prefer to think about this approach as encouraging a "healthy disposition" towards life.
G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero
G.I. Joe A Real American Hero was a cartoon that came on every day at about 3:00pm, just in time for high school or junior high school kids to come home and watch. When "looking back" at cartoons like these, the level "even-ness" or "equal footing" is obvious. These kinds of cartoons presented evenly-distributed storylines.
For example, in G.I. cartoons ... you would see people of all genders and all colors participating in the plot. Furthermore, it was clear in G.I. Joe cartoons that (1) the people fighting for good loved their country, (2) the teamwork was clear and constant.
Additionally, there were people of all kinds of backgrounds that did things that were good and people of all kinds of backgrounds that did things that were not-so-good.
For example, in a cartoon with an evenly-distributed storyline, a White man can be seen doing good and fighting for the United States military (i.e., Flint). Yet ... another White man is doing exactly the opposite ... working for the "bad guys" and trying to hurt others (i.e., Cobra Commander). For every Black man doing good (i.e., Stalker), there's another one doing bad (i.e., Destro). For every White woman in the cartoon fighting for good (i.e., Lady Jane), you'll see a White woman doing nothing good and instead creating problems (i.e., Baroness).
Why is this important? Because it illustrates to a child watching the cartoon that a person can be a good person or a bad person. This approach compels the child to focus more on a "behavior pattern" as opposed to how someone looks, in order to determine whether that person can be trusted.
The concept of teaching and setting an example has been lost to modern day entertainment. It should be re-established and re-encouraged in today's After-School cartoons and television.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the world of play for children was so much better when the creativity was left up to the children. Old School After-School Television was intentional in its support of a child's creative mind.
Let's make what we do as human beings intentional, once again, and not just about entertainment for entertainment's sake.
Let's bring back Old School After-School Television.
Bring Back Old School Toys and Toy Making
G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero - Toys
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero was a cartoon that came on every day at about 3:00pm, just in time for high school or junior high school kids to come home and watch. When "looking back" at cartoons like these, the level "even-ness" or "equal footing" is obvious. These kinds of cartoons presented evenly-distributed storylines.
In addition to the cartoon for G.I. Joe A Real American Hero ... there were the toys, themselves. The toys represented an approach to child entertainment that was intentional. By intentional, this means that toy play was meant to foster creativity. Many of the toys made in the 80s and 90s were designed this way.
For example, the toy action figures and vehicles for G.I. Joe did not fire weapons. Any guns for the action figures or weapons found on ships and vehicles did not actually work. The reason for this is that it allowed for the toy to be designed with more accuracy; the smaller scale replica of the weapon carried by an action figure or located on a ship was almost identical to the real weapon. This meant that the child was left to imagine the firing of the weapon and the sound that it made.
Toys and action figures from toy makers like Hasbro and Kenner sold G.I. Joe and Star Wars toys that replicated life-sized characters, ships, vehicles, and playsets ... but they never attempted to make any of the "mechanics" work. They left that up to the child.
G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero - Toys
Later on in the toy making industry, some toy makers chose to start creating weapons that actually fired little plastic projectiles, in the hope that it might boost sells and make play more interesting. But this was a huge mistake. No child was believe that a little plastic missile that's launched out of a spring-loaded bulky-looking clunky-looking "gun" was anything like reality. The plastic projectile usually fell immediately to the floor anyway, and the goofy button that a child pressed to launch the plastic missile was also ridiculous-looking and definitely did not represent the real world.
Children have much more fun when they are allowed to use a toy to create their own reality, not be "boxed in" to a reality because of how the toy itself is made.
G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero - Toys
The children who played with these toys back in the 80s and 90s are now in their 50s and they are still fascinated by the toys and their designs. This is such a craze by some that you can buy a book that has nothing but the artwork found on the toy boxes for $30 online:

UPDATE (2/20/25):

Conclusion
In conclusion, the world of play for children was so much better when the creativity was left up to the children. Old School Toy Making was supportive of this goal without being overly intrusive in that effort.
Let's make it intentional, once again, to support creativity in children. Let's not make entertainment just for entertainment's sake. Let's bring back Old School Toy Making.
Bring Back Old School Toy Play
The Old School Toy Wasn't Just About "Toying Around"
Old School Toy Play was amazing! This statement is a "throwback" to a time decades ago when kids would go to the toy store, pick out a toy, take it home, open it up, and play with it.
And it all it with the Old School Toy Purchase. What do we mean by "Old School Toy Purchase?" Well ... a lot. The funny is ... going to the toy store as a child to get a toy was not just about getting a toy. It was about so much more.
A Purchase, Yes ... But Oh So Much More ...
The Old School Toy Purchase was not just about getting a toy. Let's "unpack" this statement, shall we? This trip was about so much more than the toy:
(1) The trip was about confirmation that you were not in trouble with your parents, evidenced by the fact that they drove you to a store that ONLY sold toys ... somewhere where there was nothing for them to buy ... only things that you wanted to buy.
(2) This trip was about being "in control" for once ... even though you were still a child. You see ... your parents would not have known as much about the current selection of toys as you, the child. Furthermore, since they worked and you didn't (and you came home from school at 3pm and they didn't get off of work until 5pm) ... you were the one with the PhD in "Toys" ... something in which only you had the expertise.
(3) Sometimes, this trip was also about asserting yourself and claiming a small amount of independence. You see ... by the time this trip is occurring ... you most likely have a weekly allowance. So, if you got to the toy store and your parents had some kind of objection to your choice of toy, you could "assert" yourself with the proverbial "veto" ... yep ... you could just say "Well ... I'll just buy it with my allowance, then." And then a child could walk out proudly with their toy of choice ... despite the "parental disapproval."
There was so much "tribe" and "positive ritual" in making the toy purchase; it was personal. And that's what contributed so much to the excitement. In other words, the last thing the trip was about was the the toy, as that fun didn't begin until you got home.
Old School Toy Play Involved Others ... In-Person
Old School Toy Play almost always involved others ... and the others involved were always involved ... in person. For example, if you got a toy and took it home ... you might show it to your brothers or sisters, or, you showed it to your friends when they came to visit to play with you. A new toy was almost followed-up with a "little kids tribe" meetup that was kicked-off or spread-headed by the acquisition of the new toy. Once a child got a new toy ... the entire Universe was forever changed ... never to be the same, again.
There are Some Stores that Still Sell Old School Toys
There are many "Old School" Style retro-toy stores, thrift shops, art stores, flea markets and antique shops all over the country that offer a "throwback" experience that is second to none! Here are a few of them located in the Washington, D.C. Metro area:
Ink and Riddles (Clarksburg, MD)
North Point Plaza Flea Market (Dundalk, MD)

Conclusion
Let's bring back Old School Toy Play.
Bring Back Old School Eating Habits
The Eating Habits of the 1920s are Sorely Needed, Today
Back in the "olden days" people sat down to eat breakfast before they left the house. It seems a lot of people believe that we should "evolve" or "progress" to ... well ... something better? Who would that be possible when our bodies are still made and function in the same manner they did going back thousands or even millions of years?
Our fingers? The same size. Our ears? Same size. Our mouth? Same size. Number of teeth. 'Bout the same. Feet? Still ... two of 'em. Eye balls? Wait ... let's check .. one ... two ... SAME!
What does this mean? It means that because we are basically constructed the same way we used to be constructed, even though society has changed a lot, we still need to approach some things in a traditional manner. Read on ...
Lucky for Us ... We Can Still Take an "Old School Eating" Approach in a Modern Day Society
It is still possible to take an "Old School Eating" style in today's society, even though so much has changed since 1920.
Back in those days, the food was more nutritious. And a lot of food was grown right out of the ground by people who lived on farms.
However, since those days are gone, in the modern world it makes more sense to "add to" or "supplement" the "modern day" eating regimen as opposed to trying to fight off all of the ways food is produced, currently.
There are nutrition companies that have been around since ... well ... the 1920s and the 1930s ... and they haven't changed much in their approach: deliver the value and the people will show up.
GNC Has Placed Themselves Firmly on the "Old School Eating" Map
GNC a.k.a. General Nutrition Company has a headquarters that is located in Pennsylvania. Since 1935, they have been interested in making sure people get the nutrition they need.
What's so hilarious is not only does GNC keep to a traditional approach to healthy eating ... but ... their headquarters is actually located in a part of Pittsburg, PA that itself keeps to a traditional existence.
GNC is located in Pittsburg's hip "Strip District." It a vibrant mix of old-style grocers and gourmet food shops, street stands selling produce and t-shirts, plus upbeat bars, classic Italian eateries and sandwich places. Heinz History Center features an eclectic collection of cultural artifacts and a sports museum. Contemporary and classical works are staged at the Pittsburgh Opera.
You can find so much benefit from visiting "The Strip" where GNC Corporate is located or one of GNC's nutrition stores:

Conclusion
We need to bring back Old School Eating Habits.
Bring Back Old School Technology
The Original Computer Was Easy to Use
The original computer was easy to use and simple to understand. All computers back then came with a printed manual. They also came with a reference manual, so, you could refer back to that book for commands and other needed info after you learned how to use the computer.
The Original Software was Easy to Use
Original software came on floppy disks and later on CDs. And all of the software came with a manual and a reference manual. Learning was not online, back then. And this made it easier to take the book with you to the library or study something about the software over dinner.
The Original Cell Phone Signal Could Not Be Intercepted
The original cell phone was set up on an analog system. Digital celluar technology had not yet been invented. Analog signals were very strong and the voice quality was high. Also, analog signals can not be intercepted because they are not digital.
The Original Cell Phone Was in the Car, Not in Your Pocket
The original cell phones were installed in the car, they were not in someone's pocket. These phones were high quality. And because they did not come with you when you left your vehicle, they left people with their freedom from phone calls while out of the car taking care of some business or spending time with friends. You would not check for a phone call until you returned to your car.
Conclusion
We need to bring back Old School Technology.
Bring Back Old School Banking and Lending
Banking Was Simple
Old School Banking is a more simple, easier to understand, and less time-consuming way of doing your banking and paying your bills.
Most people who worked a daily job back in the 60s and the 70s could get all of their banking done in one hour on one lunch break during the week. Some of them only had to do this once a month. So, after that one lunch break was sacrificed waiting in line at the bank to cash a check, or at the post office to mail some bills ... that was it. Done. Finished.
There was no online banking. The internet was not needed.
Simple Was All That Was Needed
Old School Banking was simple, and simple was all that was needed. Why? Because there was nothing left to do after you cashed your check. You left some in the bank so you could write your checks and mail them off to pay your bills. And some of it you withdrew out of the bank and put it in your pocket so you could give a few bucks to your kids, go out to eat once or twice before your next paycheck, and maybe buy some groceries. That was it. Banking simple. Banking done.
There Was More Time for Non-Banking
So what did people in the Simple Banking days do on the weekends? Would they log on to their cell phone banking app and check their account balance? Nope. They went to the park. They took their kids to the soccer game. They went to a movie. They went on a date. Or they bought some groceries and cooked a nice home-cooked meal. Maybe they took a day trip with the kids and visit their parents.
Why Check Your Bank Account Balance When a Debit Card Didn't Exist?
One thing that people didn't do back in the "olden days" is check their bank account balance, online. Why? Because after they mailed their checks, what else was going to come out of their account? Nothing. No auto-payments; no debit card transactions; no charge-backs. Nada. Nothing. Zilch. Debit cards don't exist, remember? So, they'd just sit back and watch cartoons with the kids on Saturday morning.
Old School Lending Was Simple
Old School Lending was simple and straight-forward. You had a term, an interest rate, and a maturity date. The monthly mortgage payment was the same every month. And you knew what it was. You also knew when it ended.
Modern Lending is Too Hard to Understand
Nowadays? You have interest-only loans, balloon payments, PMI payments, and a whole host of other things that have been "tacked" on to the traditional loan. It's no wonder that there is nothing but confusion with today's home owners or others who wish to purchase a home.
Simple = Wealth
One of the reasons why the 60s and the 70s produced wealth in the United States was because lending products were straight-forward, simple, and easy to understand. (Income and paychecks were also more straight-forward and simple.)
Conclusion
Let's bring back Old School Banking and Lending. Let's Make America Simple Again. Make things simple and easy to understand again. There was enough money to go around, back then. There was enough time to go around, back then. Banks had enough. People had enough. Enough is enough.
Bring Back Old School Conservative Consumerism
Old School Conservative Consumerism Was Easier to Handle
Old School Conservative Consumerism is consumer spending that was done less often. It was also less neurotic, less impulsive, and more straight-forward. Remember, there were no cell phones, internet, or social media. So, how were any of the companies going to "flash flood" somebody's "eye balls" with ads when there wasn't even a cell phone or the internet? They COULDN'T! This is why Old School Conservative Consumerism was consumerism that was easy for the consumer to handle.
Old School Conservative Consumerism Was Based On Necessity Not Obsessive Compulsive Behavior
Old School Conservative Consumerism was done out of necessity ... not because of obsessive compulsive behavior. Sometimes consumers made purchases for a modest instance of joy or pleasure. Or they purchased a gift for a friend or a vacation for the family. But back then consumerism was never hap-hazard or neurotic. Excesses were often non-existent because people didn't try so hard to "keep up with the Jones." Back then? The internet didn't exist; the TV broadcast signal would actually turned itself off after 9pm or 10pm at night, and would not come back on until the next morning. People read the newspaper for their news. So under these circumstances how would it be possible to make people neurotic? It wouldn't.
Old School Conservative Consumerism Was Based in Service to Others, Not Self-Service
Old School Conservative Consumerism was based in service to others, not self-service. For example, a consumer would buy a gift for a friend because they knew it would make their friend happy, not because it would make them happy. Or, they may buy a vacation package for the family, but only because they knew it would make everybody in the family happy ... they obviously were not going to take the vacation alone.
Old School Conservative Consumerism Actually Produces More (Not Less) Economic Wealth
Conservative Consumerism was and still should be a cornerstone of the American spending experience. Why? Because it supports the economy while also not over-heating it. You see, runaway spending heats the economy up. And, yes, stock prices do go up. But in the end, they come right back down ... and fall like a rock when they do. Then, people get laid off and businesses close.
Old School Conservative Consumerism Promoted Savings
Conservative Consumerism is a better idea than compulsive spending because this approach does not threaten a person's savings. In actually, conservative spending serves to bolster the economy. How? Well, if people have savings in tact and are ready for a "rainy day" ... they will be able to spend immediately during an emergency. They can fix an unexpected problem and avoid creating a "domino effect" that wrecks havoc on their financial well-being.
For example, let's say a teenager's car is suddenly towed? The parents can spend the money to retrieve it from the tow yard. Or, let's say a Junior High School kid has their bicycle stolen shortly before their big "bicycle championship"? The parents can spring in to action and quickly buy another one.
These kinds of actions are only possible if a family maintains a savings plan and maintains a savings account.
Conclusion
Let's bring back Old School Conservative Consumerism. Let's Make America Simple Again. Make things simple and easy to understand again. There was enough money to go around, back then. There was enough time to go around, back then. Banks had enough. People had enough. Enough is enough.
Why Is It Important to Bring Back the Old School?
Why Is It Important to Bring Back the Old School?
IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO THESE THINGS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Why is it important to bring back the Old School? It is important because the Old School approach provided us with what we needed without exposing us to undo anxiety, control, or manipulation. The bottom line is that these Old School approaches better promoted humanity; it didn't threaten it.
Bringing back the Old School is not just something that should be done because it is "trendy." It is something that should be done because it would result in a safer country. It would also result in better protected families and fewer people at risk of dying in a war.
In the end, just keep one thing in mind:
People are Just People.
Love is King.
Everybody is Family.
We Are Tribe USA.
How Can We Maintain the Old School Once It's Back?
How Can We Maintain Old School Once It's Back?
Once these Old School approaches have been successfully implemented, they need to be monitored.
Why do these approaches need to be monitored? For two reasons:
(1) To ensure that these approaches stay the way they are implemented and not ever changed and turned into something negative, and
(2) To capture factual statistics about reductions in societal problems like crime and alcoholism that come as a direct result of the implementation of these Old School approaches.
Constant monitoring can be done by setting up a commission that can use the latest advancements in analysis to query data across the country, build up proxies, calculate measures, and produce monitoring reports on the results. In this way, the United States of American can be the first country to monitor the health of its own country in a day-to-day live-feed manner.
If this approach is successful, the result is for the first time in the history of the United States ... there will at last be an "early warning system" that the country can use to figure out if danger is on the horizon in terms of social unrest, crime, poor health, and a host of other indicators.
Furthermore, the enemies of this country know full-well that the key to winning a future war is to poison the inside of the country in the present, beforehand. An early warning system such as the one described here would serve as a way to warn the citizens of this country ahead-of-time as to the dangers that may start to form when increases is social problems start to occur. Such a public monitoring system could enable private citizens to keep an eye on an issue, and take action when a problematic trend starts to develop. This would result in:
(1) mitigation of the risk of the problem growing larger and becoming harder to handle; and
(2) mitigation of the risk of the problem attracting attention from our country's enemies who would see it as an opportunity to "fan the flames" and make the problem even worse.
In closing, we need to take this seriously. Monitoring the survival of Old School approaches is not just a "trend" ... it is a "weapon" against our enemies. A weapon that could prevent "slow-moving activities" designed to bring about "slow-moving erosion" of our values, morals, integrity, and togetherness.
With constant monitoring, we ensure:
People Remain Just People.
Love Remains King.
Everybody Remains as One Family.
The intended message of this entire effort should be loud and clear:
We are Tribe USA ... Don't F**k With Us.
