Ineptocracy - A Failed System and How to Fix IT.

There is a direct correlation between the size of government and the money it spends, and the number of laws on the books.  Each new law requires at least 5 government employees to oversee and enforce the law.  It is ridiculous  The most amazing fact about this is that nobody knows how many laws are on the books as it is purely objective as to what is a law  and what isn’t in many cases . One Louisiana congressman said that every person in the United States could be charged with violating one federal law or another. One thing for sure, we have a political system that is wrought with conflict of interest when it comes to lawyers.  Congress has 54% of the Senators and 36% of the representatives as lawyers. How about a sweeping amendment to the Constitution that requires term limits, limit the number of laws on the books, and prohibits lawyers from running for office……fat chance.

What to do….. Elect politicians that are not lawyers and have as a part of their platform, the pledge to repeal laws.  The Political/legal system becomes a make work program for the American Bar Association, creating laws so they can give lawyers work.

This sort of sweeping change is the only thing that can save our Republic from anarchy leading to a totalitarian dictatorship.

On Procedures and Knowledge

On Procedures and Knowledge

Our men’s coffee group only allows five minutes to talk about “conditions and procedures”, after that you must talk about current events and politics, local, national, and international.   After a great deal of study, I have determined that there is a direct correlation between age and knowledge.  I’m sure that Plato came up with that a longtime ago,  but the younger you are the less you know about politics and current events.

Now the philosophical question is……Is it the fact that the older you get allows for more time to research and become aware of the subjects, or do young people just not give a damn.  I think grandchildren are the triggering mechanism.  As your grandchildren grow toward adulthood, you try to envision what kind of a life they are going to have.  That scares the hell out of you today, so you look for what can be done to improve the grandkids lot.  After very little study, you see that the fault lies with the idiots we elect to political office at all levels.

The last 6 years have seen a doubling of rules and laws, when local, state, and national forms of governance are considered.  Of course there is some variance based on states.  I’m sure that is not true in Wyoming.

At all levels of governance we must start repealing laws, and make it illegal to create a new law without repealing an old one.  This is THE problem that is increasing the size of government. This is the procedure that must be implemented all over the country. Find a politician that will sign on to this law.....

DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN

 



I see all of my friends spending time talking about procedures and medications and being completely oblivious to what is going on in the good old USA.  What is wrong with this picture???

The country is in a financial death spiral, Christianity is being  demonized, most of the Euro centric nationalities are fast disappearing, and we are sitting around fiddling.......and Rome is on fire.

I am of the age that nothing will change for me, but what of my children and especially my grandchildren.  They have little hope of living to a standard that I enjoyed,  AND there are people in Washington that say "that is the way it should be"!!!

Is there really a conspiracy to take from the rich countries and give wealth to the developing countries because the rich countries got rich at the expense of the poor countries??  Did it begin with Marx and  has been refined over the decades to what we have in the USA today??  Are groups like The Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and others really running the world??? 

I don't know the answers to these questions, but I do know that the people we have in Washington today, both Democratic and Republican are totally inept.  They are doing everything wrong, whether purposely or because they are selfish and stupid remains to be seen.  The comparison with the downfall of Rome is scary....we are on the same path.  I just wish I had 30 more years and the time, energy, and money to do something about it...

The next 30 years could be a disaster...I hope our grandchildren survive.

Too Much Data

It is apparent in today’s world that we have too much data and information available to the common man.  Everyone is too lazy or too busy to take the time to understand the data so they rely on someone else to interpret it for them.  That is where our problems begin.  The interpreter has an agenda, because everyone has an agenda, usually relevant to what makes them the most money or gives them the biggest ego boost.   So the bias interpreter tells the common man what the data means with his or her spin on the conclusions that are made.  The common man then runs out and parrots this conclusion to all of his friends and relatives as though it was his original interpretation of the data.  With the abundance of data and the abundance of interpreters, you seldom get any valid information from the vast amount of data.

Much time is spent in useless analysis and our productivity goes down and down.  We know the greatest detail about insignificant things, but details about important matters are lost in the quagmire of useless information.  As a result the common man “tweets”  his friends and posts something on Facebook and he is ambivalent to the crashing world around him.

More and more Americans are really clueless as to the situation that exists in the world today because it is beyond their desire or capability to sift through the data and come to a conclusion themselves.   This is a very dangerous situation in terms of the survival of our society.  We are “ripe for the pickens” and there are plenty of evil people trying to pick the fruit of the United States.

A letter to the Editor

Captain Pugwash would approve of this "letter to the editor"!!!  It says what so many of us have been feeling....

Who is really running the Government

We should blame all of the Politicians for not having the capability to control things, but they have very little influence on the day to day annoyances of big government.  The government is run by the bureaucrats that control what the politicians see and are told.  This would be OK if the "crats" were intelligent, non political, individuals.  But of course they aren't  .....  the government was the first employer to change the hiring requirements from the "best qualified for the job" to hire "to fill the quota" qualified or not.  This began in the '60's and has been expanding since.  We now have quotas for race, gender, sexual preferance, size, to name but a few.  There is no quota for "best for the job". 
The unfortunate thing is that these people write all of the laws, set up and enforce all of the regulations, and perpetuate their species.  They have written laws that inept politicians have passed to give themselves premium retirement programs, heathcare exempted from their own buracracy, and a " I can't be fired or laid off" program that is second to none.
The sad part of all of this is that they have spread the disease.  Most of our large corporations now have similar hiring laws as they are afraid of litigation or are required by law to hire base on the same quota system.
It will take several generations of dedicated and bright politicans to fix the system, and I am afraid that we don't have the will or the time to do what needs to be done.

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

Here is the “Wikipedia” definition:  Sustainable development (SD) is a pattern of resource use, that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come (sometimes taught as ELF-Environment, Local people, Future). The term was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."^[1][2]

Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social challenges facing humanity. As early as the 1970s "sustainability" was employed to describe an economy "in equilibrium with basic ecological support systems."^[3] Ecologists have pointed to The Limits to Growth^[4], and presented the alternative of a "steady state economy"^[5] in order to address environmental concerns.

The field of sustainable development can be conceptually broken into three constituent parts: environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and sociopolitical sustainability.

This sounds harmless enough until we look into how this phrase was coined.  The UN started in the mid – seventies with a group of academics looking at the problem of sustainability of the earth….a noble idea.  This was studied and reports were given at conferences and life plugged along.  Then there comes a conference in Rio in the late 90’s to implement “sustainable development” and out of the conference came a UN Document called “Agenda 21” .  This document was signed by George H W Bush on behalf of the US.  Clinton then created a commission on “sustainable development”, and it exists today.   Over the years the commission has passed all of the principles of  “ sustainable development” down to all levels of government as though this is the goal that we should shoot for….clear down to the local county planning commission.

The three guiding principles of Agenda 21 are:

·       The majority of land should be owned by the government (there is a map of all of the land that the government wants to grab in the USA.)

·       The population of the world should be reduced to 1 Billion people.

·       Wealth should be redistributed from the rich to the poor.

I am not making this up folks!!!!!!!

We have signed up for this and the bureaucrats and the politicians are making it happen.  Think about what has gone on in the last 15 years.

Bill Clinton did an end run on congress and designated many places in the US as National Monuments or Wilderness areas.

Europe, Japan, China, USA and most of the Western world have a big birth control program to limit population growth.

And we have Obummer and his redistribution of wealth programs..

This is not the illuminati, this is real!!! It is a plan generated by academics and third world politicians to remove our freedoms.

Before you think I have been drinking from the conspiracy bottle of tequila, I suggest that you google “Agenda 21” and watch some of the video and read some of the documentation.

Get the Republican candidates to repeal our signature to the “Agenda 21” treaty.
