blackmail and bribery

Government habitually works on a basis of personal relationships and a system of reciprocal favors. Basically, blackmail and bribery support an orderly process, widely known “as a good thing” of compromises and consensus, “a reasonable agreement on which both sides can agree . . .” Then, they add exemptions.

Even city councils pass ordinances with no exemptions, then allow local governmental units to excel at the granting of exemptions.

Any policy, regulation or law riddled with exemptions is designed to be ignored or broken.

Its underlying purposes are (1) to reward friends or those who are in a position to do favors, and (b) to demonstrate their power to control and/or deny opportunities for those they see as incapable of doing them harm.

Exemptions are arranged in secret meetings with insiders; developers, industries and other large or inside endeavors. Each meeting is generally conducted in an alternation of blackmail and bribery. Taxpayers are stuck with the bill for each exchange . . .

Earlier this year, the Paris Texas Chamber of Commerce vented about how the weeds and wild grasses of 2021 and 2022 were still standing all over Paris, and the new crops of 2023 were doing well, despite ordinances that existed against such things, even how high they could grow . . .

We’re not happy to report that three years of crops are still standing in several places. Or, that as the crops were growing, our local city government grew an assistant city manager and a deputy city manager to help the city manager to grow more government at a compounded 3.5-percent annual clip; which in ten years adds an estimated 40-percent increase to the taxpayer’s cost for bad government.

Ask yourself: What did Paris need most, weeds cut or a larger city administration?

Now it is what it is, and excuses and misinformation and blaming “the other guy” doesn’t change the changeable process. But government, of all kinds, must have exemptions from its own rules, polices, and public utterances or the exchange of blackmail and bribery won’t work.

 

Government is fertilized by thinking that government is good.

Government claims its purpose is to make our lives better.

Government’s purpose is to grow.

Or there wouldn’t be exemptions.

The very last thing every government wants is a way for the ordinary citizens to improve their lives economically – Oh, right!

We do or once did have the Constitutional guarantee of equal economic opportunity; whereby, each of us had an opportunity to improve our lives economically. But as voters, we allowed those we elected to ignore the Constitution by telling us that only government can make our lives better.

Its the Big Lie.

So, Blackmail and bribery

The only way you can rise above poverty is by acquiring property (assets). But our national banking policy is “cash-flow loans only” – and has been since the early 1980s, when our government outlawed asset-based lending.

When the acquisition of private property (ownership of assets) is no longer available, you’re limited on how you can economically improve your life.

Crooks in big financial institutions and the national swamp, using lobbyists, paid for the exchange from a Private Enterprise System to State Capitalism, the partnership between Big Business and Big Government. One minor reason for outlawing asset-based lending was to provide a way to launder the $150-billion a day cash-flow of illegal drug money, which the government now uses as an excuse to keep tabs on individuals doing $600-and-up transactions in a bank. It also provides those in Nutland, D. C., who keep tabs of such things, a secret list of millions and millions of people, all categorized by income, location, and occupation.

We’ve allowed the con-artists, snake oil salesmen, magic bean promoters, shysters, liars and advocates of Big Government to remove equal economic opportunity from our Constitution, which also effectively removed equal treatment under the law.

Of course, that same bunch of no-goodniks removed many of the Constitution’s constructs and mandates, including the three independent branches of government; one-man, one vote: limiting central government power; each state a separate nation; borders must be protected; privacy in our homes and papers; crimes punished; etc.

They claim our Constitution (a system of lawful principles to live by), is just parchment; a piece of paper where words were written down as an experiment . . .

 

Today, self-responsibility and accountability are just words –

Like the Second Amendment, principles are basically gone: Today, IF you try to defend yourself against a gang of armed thugs, you are the domestic terrorist.

We’re told:

• to close down businesses and to wear a mask
• you, as a parent, have no right to determine how or what you want your children taught in school
• “equal outcomes” are more important than Equal Justice
• support of Constitutional constructs cannot be posted on social media
• illegals are legal
• you MUST choose movies, music, and books and your friends based on equity, inclusion, and diversity
• be ‘nice’ to individuals you wouldn’t go with to a dogfight or allow in your home

As they campaign for more government, totalitarians are dividing the nation, as seen in a corrupt U. S. Department of Justice carrying out blackmail and bribery, while claiming additional exemptions from principles and values.

That we’re also told to allow, just as we’re being told a lot of other things that rate high in stupidity and falsehoods.
