The Big Lie,,, The biggest IMO

That governments are FOR THE PEOPLE,,, Well, maybe FOR the people IN government,,,,

The only way a government is for the people is if it STRICTLY follows the dictates of protecting the borders it occupies in the interest of the people. Failing that, everything else is meaningless bullshit, or outright theft.

Like taxation... Francis quotes Spooner here and the point is made and driven home with a hickory ax handle

YET so many still don’t get it. Like this A-nonny-mouse commentor at Irish’s place. When the thief has your money, you don’t get to dictate the terms of how that thief gets to use it: life doesn’t work that way,,, That’d be like your employer telling you that you could not use the paycheck they just gave you for buying beer that weekend. They can say it, and even threaten your position, but they have no legal or ethical standing in the matter; its your’s

When the GOV gets your money, its thiers to use as they please,,,,

And that is the crux of the problem, people still think ‘they work for us’,,,,

Maybe ya hadn’t noticed but the Bureaus that ACTUALLY run things, ain’t elected,,,, They work for GOV, and that imaginary entity is THEM (long read, worth it, and follow the links), and you had best pay that tax bill or they will send OTHER Unelected “Them’s” to collect with the power of the guns and courts behind them. The Selection cycles are a complete sham to keep “The People” appeased that they did sometihng, when that something is just an illusion,,,,

If you want proof: look how the director of the Fibbies has repeatedly LIED to Congress and yet, still walks free, He KNOWS who runs the show,,,, All those elected ‘figure heads’ are just that, window dressing for the proles, so the machine can keep running behind the curtain. There are names of those in the machine, but I would say, if you know their names, they are the low hanging fruit for when shit goes sideways: the ablative armor on this beast called GOVERNMENT.

There may or may not be an election in 2024,,,, I have no idea, but IF, there is, I am betting that it will be such a travesty against the AMeriCAN people, that NO ONE, not even the heavily indoctrinated Kool-aid drinker will be able to say “totally fair and honest” without choking on the words.

BUT, I am also betting at this point that there is going to be some “Emergency” that allows THEM to completely rewrite election laws in their favor, with only a handful of states telling them to F! off, but not enough to make it stick. There will be enough Red states that comply willingly and there will be even MOAR VOATS for the Corpse leader pretend, than EVEH!!! Think 80 Mil was ludicrous, lets see ’em strike for 95% of the Electorate.

One lap today,,,, total of 9 miles (should be 14 but the lake is smaller right now with low levels.) Lyssa (and new paddle) did me good,,, Average speed of 4.3, high of 5.7, and the worst that happened was I broke a sweat under my wetsuit and froze my ass off when I took it off. Lots of thinking as I was paddling, and that comment over at Irish’s set me off,,, The mental gymnastics people do to justify being raped, every day, by people that SWEAR they are protecting your interests, when the evidence is BLATANT they aren’t,,,, It gets tiring,,,,

gonna tip back a glass now,,, call it an eve and prep my mind for the long slog through the week,,,,
