A TALE OF 2 RULES

Prudence directs the wise thinker to define proper governance, all human interaction, actually, in direct and simple terms… concepts that every citizen can understand and apply to virtually every human circumstance and conflict.  So, here they are:

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL

EQUAL APPLICATION OF THE LAWS

There.  Those are fairly easy to grasp and apply anywhere.  Let’s consider some examples of how the most untrustworthy among us – often the most clever – endeavor to subvert these simple directions, starting with what’s hot right now at a time of Presidential transition: INFLATION!

There is little clear information being spread about inflation in the news, on news programs, even financial news programs.  Mostly, people describe PRICES of commodities, but those are consequences of inflation – or of deflation – not inflation, itself.  INFLATION (of the money supply) is a government program that, effectively and efficiently, STEALS from all of those whose “money supply” it is.  So, while our governors (small “g”) fulfill the second element of proper governance: equal application, it directly and purposefully subverts the first as it steals the value, purchasing power, investment and savings of every person tied to the economy it was elected to manage and protect.

Unfortunately, given the cleverness of our dully elected “representatives,” when they agree to inflate the money supply they don’t simply print more money – that takes too long.  Instead, they BORROW it and agree (on our behalf of course) to pay interest on the loan.  That is currently about ONE TRILLION dollars per year, which is a theft from the same people who are impacted by the original inflation!  We can’t get more services or national defense for the taxes we pay, since there is now an extra TRILLION going to the banking consortium we borrow from.  Everyone involved in these THEFTS should recommit to the first element of good governance: THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.

But wait… there’s more!  Our governors establish schools, usually with the agreement of subsets of citizens whose children, or whose neighbors’ children, will attend… there to be prepared for adulthood and financial and social success.  Organized cleverness among the teachers and administrators of these schools (often called “Public Schools”) leads those worthy folks to invent ways to socially engineer your or your neighbors’ children to be something they were not born to be.  This would be a phenomenal bargain for the parents if the teachers they pay and pay to teach math, reading, writing, history, civics and the rules of American culture and civility, were ADDING social and bio-engineering for the same price(!).  Unfortunately, and often with no notice, the public school establishment has relaxed the parts that prepare children to become successful adults, and created space for topics that interrupt or destroy normal maturation, eschewing knowledge and skills and even cancelling standard testing that might reveal the lack of educational success for each child.

That alone would show a failure to follow the prime directive: Thou Shalt Not Steal, since the opportunities to reach successive and successful levels of knowledge and maturity have been taken away from children.  By failing to educate, and failing to reveal their failures, “educators” have stolen their salaries and benefits from taxpayers and parents who pay them to succeed at the former.   What a difference might be made if every teacher-prospect were interrogated on the subject of “Thou Shalt Not Steal” and on their personal commitments to succeed at their educational missions.  Then, by teaching every child with equal application of teaching skills and knowledge, each would fulfill the second directive, as well.

Well, okay, perhaps that is not a fair assessment of public schools.  Shame on Prudence.  It might illuminate the concepts better to relate them to health – everyone is impacted by his or her health and the costs of health-CARE.

There is no better example… or set of millions of examples of health-care stealing, than the recent debacle known as the COVID-19 pandemic.  Trump-45 was at the mercy of the so-called National Institutes of Health, “NIH,” which was acting as the National Institutes of Hype.  So were we all.  The NIAID, a subset of the NIH, headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, was on TV virtually every day during the COVID assault, assuring the U. S. and anyone else listening, that the wonderful mRNA shots were the best and only “scientific” response to COVID-19, had most politicians bamboozled while he joked about “the Fauci ouchy,” which was just a little prick, after all.  The first act of stealing was to steal our right to the truth.

The second theft was to besmirch and deny access to better, CHEAPER, drugs that would have both slowed the progression of the virus and not damaged the immune systems of millions of people in and out of the United States.  Pushing the shots in the midst of the pandemic – a very questionable approach had the shots even constituted a “vaccine” – may have killed more people than COVID actually did, itself.  The health, short and long-term, of millions was stolen.  Thou shalt not steal.

Those thefts are continuing today, even as the mRNA shots are being pushed toward children who are not at risk from COVID.  The COVID pandemic was a financial emergency, not a medical one.

Americans possess so much personal property – vital, irreplaceable, hard-won “things” – like the free exercise of religion, the right to bear arms and the right to self-protection that embodies, the right to a jury trial, the right to privacy and security in our possessions and homes against unreasonable search and seizure, the right to speak freely, to seek redress of grievances.  Above all, the right to our beliefs.  These things we own by birth, and we have the right to relinquish them, by choice, in the interests of an orderly society.  The governments we have freely formed, however, conspire and endeavor to steal these possessions in a thousand ways.  It is our obligation to recognize when those thefts are being attempted or executed, and to stop them.

There is a mountain of evidence that the Democratic National Committee – DNC – engineered enough unconstitutional changes to voting practices in 2020 to literally steal re-election from President Trump and hand it to Joe Biden.  Democrats are in no case as sensitive to a suggestion of political malfeasance as they are when “stealing the 2020 election” comes up.  Incredibly sensitive.  Leads a person to think that the suggestion hits very close to home.  Harry Reid, when majority leader in the Senate, accused Mitt Romney of not paying his taxes for 10 years.  It was a total lie and constituted the theft of reputation of Romney and of truth from the minds of those to whom a slavish media dutifully repeated the lie.  When called out on it all Reid would say was, “Well, he lost didn’t he?”  In other words, it was a justifiable act on the part of an influential Democrat.

But it wasn’t, Prudence believes: Thou shalt not steal, Mr. Reid.  The same admonition applies to the entire Democrat party: Thou shalt not steal.  Get it? If only the Republican Party were free of the same flaw.

Every lie is a theft – a stealing of the truth.  Thou shalt not steal.

GULLIBLES TRAVELS

You're ***tting me, right?
You’re ***tting me, right?

Amidst the anxiety, worry, fear and complete inversion of logic that comprises “Climate Change,” a sad failure of the heart is heard as gullible men and women who might create families, declare that they are afraid to bring children into this world which is doomed by the follies of pollution and fossil fuels.  It should be a mental thing, but it’s not: it’s a function of gullibility that is divorced from clear thinking.

America cannot survive gullibility.  Americans, more than citizens of any other nation, are OBLIGATED to study and understand the words, and the meaning of the words, and the philosophies supporting them… in our Constitution and other founding documents.  The United States of America – those are words, too, and we are obligated to understand them just as clearly.  Ours is a country with a role in history unlike every other.  “United” tells us that we are OBLIGATED to share common laws and moral guidance.  “States” tells us that our States are the structure of our nation, and our strength.  Ours is not a national government, it’s a federal one, yet every scrap of legislation that Congress passes EXPANDS national power over the states and the people, when it should be doing only what the states cannot do for themselves.  Words matter.  Whoever – or whatever – attempts to change the meaning of words is announcing its willingness to confuse the polity and steal our ability to discuss, reason and understand.

What American voters have allowed, so far, is an administrative bureaucracy that makes itself appear to be so important – so vital to our ability to remain fed and comfortable – that threats to its power or existence, even of tiny slivers of it, are tantamount to Hitler’s Nazism.  Minor interruptions, like temporary shutdowns until appropriations are approved by Congress, are described as imminent defaults on U. S. obligations and threats to every aspect of life from stocking grocery stores to providing health care and life-saving operations.  Worse, a government shutdown is racist, homophobic, transphobic and misogynist… and no one wants to be any of those things, let alone the whole country!

What illogical nonsense.  Yet, that is the definition of our “democracy,” today.  The “democracy” that we must impoverish ourselves to protect around the world, yet do our best to undermine, here, despite the fact that we are a Republic… that employs democracy.

Are your children gullible?  Possibly.  Once ideological teachers have taught our kids to believe untrue things, the pathways of gullibility are established.  If a first-grader believes the United States was founded upon racism in 1619, he or she can be led to believe that gender can be changed.  Pretty soon they’ll believe that their parents are a threat that cannot be told that their son or daughter is changing to daughter or son.  So, now it’s better to hide truths from parents.  We can’t survive gullibility.

Education, essentially dominated by government schools and unionized teachers and staff, is the fundament of culture and citizenship.  Along with language, math, geography, civics, science and a second language, the success of our nation requires that our children learn about our history, our founding, the ideas behind the Constitution and how it works, and basic economics.  Turning out students who cannot read – at huge expense – puts our nation at risk; filling their heads with untruths and radical theories of race and biology is the opposite of what parents – and our nation – need teachers to do.  Yet, as schools fail to educate, teachers’ unions dictate policies to management that increase costs, compensation and staffing while reducing accountability for teachers’ lack of results.  The incredible refusals to work and teach during “COVID” can never be forgiven.

Have we the intestinal fortitude to correct the direction and OWNERSHIP of our so-called “public” education system?  Can we place the management of public schools back into the hands of those we elect to manage them?  Or will we go to our graves with leftist, virtually communist teachers’ unions operating this huge fraction of our government for their own benefit… not for the advancement of our children?  Government employees should be severely restricted in their abilities to influence elections.  As it is, politicians charged with financial management of all departments rely on unions to get themselves elected.  They (the elected) then “negotiate” with unions for pay and benefits.  Those who are charged with representing citizens wind up basically representing only the unionized, public employees.  What a debilitating economic farce.  Will we continue this?  Or are there politicians with the courage to break it up and restore fairness, balance and honesty to our republican form of government?

We are $33 Trillion in debt.  Clearly the past 6 decades of “representative” government has failed to manage the people’s business.  We are on the path to insolvency and economic ruin when that day comes that other nations will refuse payment in dollars.  This is a system our “representatives” created in our name.  Now we have a poop-head as president who has invited SEVEN MILLION or more new welfare recipients, many of whom are actual criminals and terrorist threats to our nation, to our people.  Shame on him and shame on all of us who voted for him in 2020.  We knew he was a fool from his 40 years of history in the Senate and his 8 years as Obama’s V. P.  We knew he was a public policy and foreign policy idiot, yet we dutifully followed his party’s directions.  Now, we’re the fools.

Are we patriotic enough – still – to make wiser, more sensible, economically aware choices about who will represent us American citizens and who will be our President, representing all of us and our country?  Or, are we so gullible that we will again elect a caricature of a leader and toadies who claim to be our representatives?  How many of our Senators and “Representatives” are receiving money or gifts of some sort from China?  More than one, for sure.  Why do we re-elect them and then cede them power in their respective houses?

American citizens are the most powerful people on Earth.  We can affect both domestic and foreign policies of our powerful government.  Yet we continuously give up our unique rights in exchange for not being called names, and we continuously re-elect relatively ignorant and corrupt people to both state and federal offices – people who soon give up representing we, the People, and then learn to represent their personal interests by cooperating with other corrupt “representatives” who have learned how to steal, legally.  Whenever they actually face their voters, these worthies tend to represent the government to us rather than the other way around, explaining why this or that policy position that got them elected, cannot be accomplished.

Are we awake enough in 2023 to exercise our Constitutional rights and powers to put in place a legislature that will actually force the executive swamp to do the right things?  How is it that we couldn’t even get the border closed with a threat to shut down the government?  How is it that the Biden administration thinks it is “American” to force expenses upon the States in the breaking of federal immigration laws?  We ARE gullible, but, are we crazy?
