Clamoring for slavery
Government is big business.
In 2019, about 14.84 million people were full-time
employees of U.S. state and local government. More than half of all Americans
receive some sort of government assistance. Business and industry from farming
to manufacturing get massive infusions of corporate welfare.
It's nigh on impossible to go through a day without some sort of
forced interaction with some aspect of government.
The political Kabuki over funding government lends one to think
that government doesn't work. I say government does work. But who does it work
for?
Government is a masterpiece of corporate cynicism, propaganda
perfection and people control. It was not created for the people, by the people
nor of the people. It was created or at least evolved for the power and benefit
of the elite and their politicians and bureaucrats.
Government is not haphazard and bungling. It does everything with
careful calculation for the benefit of government and the concealment of its
fraud upon the people. It plays one economic class against another, one race
against another, and it prostitutes the intellectual elite to conceal the
nature of government and its purpose.
Government creates the public mind and the public will. It
programs and channels human thought, human energy and human production and
wealth to itself.
Government does work. It works perfectly for the elite. It is
organized crime and organized force at the national and international level. It
just doesn't work for the people, it works against them.
The people have come to depend upon government from cradle to
grave. They are taught from early on to look to government for all their
sustenance. Government wants to funnel every dollar through itself so that its
denizens can skim and leech from the producers and savers.
People no longer shrink from a handout from Uncle Scam, and the
stigma once attached to doing so is fading. In fact, we have reached a time in
America where most people consider handouts from government as something that
they deserve as a right rather than a privilege because of their financial
hardship or unemployment — in today's case, both of which were created by
government power grabs under the guise of "a public health
emergency."
As a result, the two false sides of the political aisle are
fighting over whose idea it was to "give" people $2000
"stimulus" checks "from the government." As if anything
should ever come "from the government" since the government is
supposed to be of the people, for the people and by the people.
But the people now think they're "getting checks from the
government." This is how governments want people to think. That the people
are separate from the government. That government is a self-contained entity
that rules over them and "grants" them rights, and privileges, and
$2,000.
That, instead of realizing that government is there to
administrate itself and do the will of the people. That money is theirs to be
made and kept, not confiscated by government. That their lives are their own.
That they can and should think and do for themselves. And that they are allowed
to, and the government has no "right" to take away that right.
It is very difficult to get the truth about this, or any truth in
America, from the politicians or the controlled media. It is risky to believe
anything official.
Generational government wealth
There are now several generations of people who have only known
government handouts for their income. They depend upon government for their
food, housing, transportation, entertainment and healthcare. This is part of
the national collectivism designed and perpetrated by politicians on both sides
of the aisle ... the "creeping fascism" move from a benevolent to
full totalitarianism. Only it's not just creeping anymore, it's up to at least
a fast walk and getting quicker by the day.
The Founding Fathers would be appalled at what the nation has
become. James Madison, the author of the Constitution, told the House of
Representatives that welfare is not the duty of the federal government.
"[T]he government of the United States is a definite government, confined
to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are
more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the
government."
Welfare Breeds Welfare
Benjamin Franklin once said, "I am for doing good to the
poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good
to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them
out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries,
that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided
for themselves, and of course, became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less
was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer."
He also wrote, "Repeal that welfare law, and you will soon
see a change in their manners. St. Monday and St. Tuesday, will soon cease to
be holidays. Six days shalt thou labor, though one of the old commandments long
treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept;
industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their
circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring
them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates
among them."
When the government "shuts down," it's not really shut
down. Always "essential" government services — payments to Congress
members, military operations (though not always military paychecks), etc. —
continue. But things like park access are restricted and Social Security checks
are delayed; anything that can make the American public feel pain is done. It
makes for good theater even if it is bad governance. The more pain the people
can be made to feel, the more they think they need government.
Growth not government
The only way for true economic growth is by the transfer of services,
goods or wealth between people (or businesses) who actually produce something.
In other words, if someone provides a service and gets gold or silver (actual
wealth) or widgets for compensation, both the service provider and widget maker
have benefited and each has something that has bettered his standard of living.
Americans need all those "authorities" and the
government to get out of their personal lives, their health, their jobs, their
businesses, their religion, and their personal preferences and choices and let
them decide for themselves whether to go out, whether to stay in business, and
what to do with their own money.
The American people don't "need" $2,000 of their own
money sent to them. They need to be able to earn it for themselves, then keep
it, and not have the government and every leech in the parasite class siphon
from it until there's nothing left.
What the American people need is for bankster Steve Mnuchin not to
take $350 billion of the CARES Act money and stash it in a slush
fund.
What the American people need is for corporate America NOT to get $12,000 per American
sent to them from the Fed.
Americans need to stop advocating for their own financial slavery.
Don't advocate for and fight over the scraps from Longshanks' table while he
still rules with an iron fist.
And, as always, protect yourself with precious metals. The long
dry spell because of manipulation in silver has caused extreme
underappreciation even at $25 per ounce. The only negative is time. No one
knows when silver will rise up to where it should be priced, so this
uncertainty has kept investors from buying. But some of us see this as the
perfect opportunity to buy more.
I always like U.S. 90 percent silver coins minted before 1965.
They can be purchased in bags of $1,000 face amount or in smaller increments —
even individually. (Find a local, reputable coin dealer with a good rating with
the Better Business Bureau and a history in the community.) Buy for great price
explosion upward as well as for survival coins.

I admit this gave me a chuckle as I haven't heard the term 'sheeple' in awhile but it sure applies to the under educated socialists running loose.
tHINK YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD; FIRST THEY DUMBED DOWN OUR YOUTH, indoctrinated them w/ socialism & then led them around like lemmings via social media.
There are a lot of fools out there who seem to want our nation become a part of Red China-AOC for instance...these slugs are burning America.
