DOGE, and The Fourth Branch, Part III

By Rich Kozlovich,  Tags: Part I, Part II 

 

There a lot of kickback over the DOGE engineers being called ‘creepy 22-year-olds’, but one thing is clear.  They're brilliant!  We now know the  levels of corruption, mismanagement, and even potential treason being perpetrated by these agencies is massive, far beyond what the so-called "conspiracy theorist" were claiming, and some Democrats are demanding the Democrats in the Senate put cabinet nominees on hold until they end what they're doing........saving America.   Well, that didn't work, and the Senate Democrats looked like complete fools.  I have to wonder when I watch their disgraceful behavior just how stupid can their constituents be?

Musk's DOGE team of clearly brilliant very young people (who have no connections with those corrupting the system) are just getting started and in less than two weeks have exposed such waste and fraud it's mind boggling....... again..... this was in less than two weeks!  What will they be able to do over this next two years?   

As for those who are benefiting from the all that waste, fraud, corruption, and unnecessary, and often vile government spending they're giving Trump, Musk and his team a lot of kickback.  From this point on the position every conservative should take is to assume anyone standing against these efforts are corrupt, treasonous, and to be ignored, at least until charges are brought against them, since all this exposure may put them at risk of criminal prosecution.

Entirely too many times in the past these efforts have totally failed, and the reason why is it was aways being driven by politicians, who are always malleable.   This is the best hope for bringing our system of expenditures, a seriously flawed system under control that's been abused and totally controlled by an incompetent, corrupt, and ineffectual bureaucracy.  If this fails, America fails, it really is that simple.   Thanks to Donald Trump "the entire federal leviathan is undergoing a full MRI scan".  

I recently saw this comment on a American Thinker article:

Memo to all DEI related employees, personnel, contractors and subcontractors as well as any and other persons, departments and businesses affiliated there to:  It has been determined that you have outlived your usefulness to the organization. Effective immediately, unless and until a position becomes available for which you may be qualified, you are herewith terminated. You will receive separation compensation equal to your current pay grade and health benefits for a period not to exceed ninety days.We wish you much luck as you are most assuredly and desperately going to need it.

The only thing about that I didn't like is I didn't say it.   The federal bureaucracy is massive and expensive, spending unsustainable amounts of money for which they can't account, and that includes the Pentagon failing it's  7th audit in a row, unable to account for their spending in their $824 billion dollar budget.

They're out of control, and about 80% of them are unnecessary.  Trump gets that and has made it clear the treasonous behavior from the bureaucracy during his first administration will be exposed and acted on this time. 

The CIA interfered in the 2020 election colluding with the with Biden campaign over the Hunter Biden laptop, and it's believed that would have made a major difference, and they intended to do the same for the 2024 election.  (more here)  There are a lot of Disturbing Questions about the Intelligence Community, and why is the US Intel Community, Promoting Cross-Dressing?  Is it any wonder John Daniel Davidson says the Most Serious National Security Threat Isn’t Russian Nukes In Space, It’s Intelligence Agencies In Washington, with their scare mongering and illegal surveillance of America citizens.

The Department of Justice has done everything it can to overturn the rule of law with corrupt judges even over turning what was always considered sacrosanct in American jurisprudence, attorney client privilege.

This became DOJ's standard operating procedure:  corrupt lawfare, intimidation, and coercion, destroying the justice system’s integrity.  

That's going come to an end now as the President has a mandate to drain these "cesspools of legal corruption nationwide, and we're already seeing the new Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in action.   Beege Welborn says he's gonna have to get a nitro prescription or something saying his heart can't take much more. Why? 

He says  Bondi was confirmed at 12:00, sworn in by Clearance Thomas at 12:30, and unleashed hell at 12:40.  No President has ever done so much in such a short time frame, or ever done it over a very wide range, and he's picked people who are on board with his views and came armed to the teeth to act on his vision. She's going to take a  "legal scalpel and cut out the cancer at the DOJ.

Matthew G. Andersson asks do we have two legal systems, two governments, two countries? Yes, we did, and he says these who defiled American justice have no intention of going quietly into the night:

The Democrat party is committed to corrupting that legal system to block and subvert the will of the American people and their chosen government. That has a new form: the DNC has established and financed its “Democracy Forward” program, announced in the New York Times (“Democrats Draw Up an Entirely New Anti-Trump Battle Plan”). Their fantasy appears to be a subversive “second” government. This DNC program has hired eight hundred lawyers, with more to come, creating a “lawfare army” and taking this operation from the White House, to DNC controlled governorships.

They just have no idea who they're dealing with.  Trump is past caring, and he will be going all out to crush them, and he's going to win.  

This ends Part III, but I have huge files on all this, especially the FBI, so more parts will follow.

The Fourth Branch

By Rich Kozlovich

Paradigms are defined in following manner.

A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.

In short; it is how we look at the world. How we perceive reality. It is the basis of how we judge our actions and the actions of others.

Fully 25 percent of all federal regulations that have been passed involve environmental issues and EPA has only been in existence since 1970. Since that time we have a plethora of regulatory bodies at the state level to meet the minimum federal standards and in some states, like California, they go way beyond federal standards, and the Federal Registry increased from 62,000 pages to 75,000 pages in one three year period. President G.W. Bush passed more federal regulations than any president since Richard Nixon; and Nixon created, among other things, the EPA and OSHA.

Now we have a host of federal and state agencies, along with researchers and their universities imposing their views on society without regard to the impact of their actions. Yet we have to ask; what terrible thing happened to impose these kinds of costs and to give state and federal bureaucrats the authority to overturn the protections under the fourth amendment against unlawful search and seizure and self-incrimination under the fifth amendment of the U.S. Constitution?

I did the research and found that this was fought up to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) and it was decided that in these cases state and federal bureaucrats, and their regulations, usurp the protections “guaranteed” by the Constitution. What regulation passed by any regulator to make society safer was not already covered under criminal and civil penalties of state or federal law?

Why is it when you ask everyone if they think it is okay that they say, for the most part; yes it is necessary. Environmental paradigms have become everything! It started with Rachel Carson when she wrote Silent Spring in 1962. Her book, which was lauded and continues to be lauded, launched the modern environmental movement. Yet, almost everything she touted in her book was conjecture, prediction or lies.

Her book was never peer reviewed because it didn’t start out as a published book. I started out as excerpted installments in New Yorker magazine. That presentation was so popular the book followed, and when you read her work you can understand why.  She was a magnificent writer. I have been re-reading Silent Spring and I am now amazed at how poor her science was, in spite of the fact that her acolytes praise her as a scientist unendingly.

Her work was not science because it hadn’t been peer reviewed before publication. When it was, after the fact, it was discovered that everything she predicted failed to come true and in at least one case she knowingly and deliberately misrepresented the facts. Her book is full of anecdotal evidence (stories), which may or may not have been true, but there was no way to check it because she didn’t footnote source information for these stories. That isn’t science! She became the Mother Superior of the green movement, but in reality she was the mother of junk science.

Ultimately, this book was the justification for the formation of EPA by Richard Nixon, with the primary purpose of eliminating DDT. Everything you know about DDT is a lie. Yet the regulations and impositions continue! Now we have Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) imposing their will and jumping on the “funding” bandwagon.

In 1790 the fledgling U.S. Federal government passed the Whiskey Tax. The result was that in 1792 they had armed rebellion that President George Washington had to put down with the Federal army. Who were the biggest supporters of this bill? The whiskey distillers in the large cities! Why? Because this would give them the competitive edge they needed over the backwoods farmers who made moonshine, which was easier to transport into the towns than corn was. Far more profitable too!

Apparently having all these government imposed regulators and regulatory agencies aren’t enough to satisfy large industry. We now have regulators for hire who are just like bureaucrats; they need activity to give the impression of accomplishment. And what is the only activity we can expect from a regulator? More regulations! And more regulations and taxes put the largest companies in a position that will allow them to avoid real competition.

 Just as was the case with the Whiskey Act. Large companies and corporation love regulations and taxes. That is why they support all sorts of greenie nonsense because they believe they will profit from it and believe they will still survive, even if it is in some other form. But what about the consequences to society for adopting regulations that will restrict pesticides and pesticides applications to humanities detriment? That is the problem. These people never have to pay the consequences for their actions.

In order to generate some heterodoxy, I have four questions I would like to ask.

1. What terrible event or series of terrible events took place that would justify a SCOTUS decision that would give bureaucrats and government agencies the right to ignore the rights guaranteed under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution against illegal search and seizure and self incrimination?
2. What civil and criminal penalties in state and federal pesticide laws administrated by state and federal agencies were not already covered under criminal and civil law?
3. Have we been lied to regarding the need for all these regulations?
4. Will there ever be enough regulations?

The United States Constitution created three branches of government consisting of the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial branches. The result of all of these regulations is that there are now actually four branches of the United States government; now we have the Bureaucracy.  After the laws are passed these people are the ones who make the rules, they change the rules, they make all the decisions as to how the laws that are passed are to be interpreted; and without consequence. Why? They never have to answer for their actions.

They were not chosen by the people; they went to college, took a test and got hired. Most of them never have done anything except go to school and go into government, which we call “public service”!

How is it that those who create jobs, meet the payrolls and create the economy that we all enjoy aren’t considered public servants, but those who do nothing except undermine those who do are?

Why in the world would we think these people could possibly have any special insights as to how the economy or anything else should work? I find it interesting that in 1900 “government spending at all levels (local, state, and federal) represented 7.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Out of that amount 66 percent occurred at the local and state levels. Local government spent 55 percent, state government spent 11 percent, and the federal government spent the remaining 34 percent.”

Did it occur to anyone to ask; do we really need all these rules and regulations? Did it occur to anyone to ask; what would happen if these bureaucracies were eliminated and these people were fired?
