Three (3) Reasons Why Elections Don’t Matter

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

In so many ways, elections in America have become just another manifestation of bread and circuses; like watching a reality TV show when your house is on fire.  It’s why this article was almost named:

“The Inevitableness of Reality Requires Honesty and Acceptance”

Of course, the 2018 Midterm Elections will be analyzed ad nauseam, with other writers and pundits parsing it better than this blogger.  However, suffice it to say:  There was no Blue Wave and Trump has now solidified leadership of his Republican Party; at least more so than during the last two years of his administration.

In a raucous press conference the day after, Trump claimed victory and said his party “defied history to expand our Senate majority”. The president also said his focus in the days prior to the election remained on the senate and pointed out that most of the candidates for whom he campaigned had won their respective races.

Now, with Never-Trump  Republican senators like Bob Corker (R-TN) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ), along with Democrats Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) all gone  – Trump has solidified the senate so as to be in a much better position to navigate any cabinet and court appointments.  Obviously, the bloodletting has already begun, starting with Mr. Magoo himself, Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Again, there was no Democratic Party political tidal wave in spite of the non-stop and breathless Blue tsunami warnings of the Orwellian Media which, for a few short weeks, replaced their ceaseless fake-news reporting on Russian collusion.

During midterm elections of America’s past, it was quite common for the non-presidential party to gain fifty or sixty seats in the House of Representatives, yet the 2018 results yielded near half of that.  This, in spite of scores of Republican incumbents retiring this year.

Just like prior to the 2016 Presidential Election – the Orwellian Media, the pollsters, Obama, and Hollywood, all look like bumbling fools once again.  In fact, Trump even called the pollsters vote suppressors in his November 7, 2018 press conference and for good reason.  In the month’s preceding the election, the Democrats were said to have had double-digit leads.  And, in the Florida’s Governor’s race, Democrat Andrew Gillum was shown to have a 7 point lead the day before the election, before losing to Republican Ron DeSantis the next day.

Moreover, the senators who voted against Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court lost their races and the senators who voted for the slandered judge won; as the soon-to-be Democratic Party controlled House of Representatives will be divided between old and young; or aging liberal fossils versus amateur socialists, as Trump bangs them all like bongo-drums over the next two years.

Pass the popcorn.

No doubt the Crucifixion of Kavanaugh, the poor timing of the Honduran Mob, as well as the tireless tenacity of the campaigning Trump helped Republicans to win in some races, but the supposedly “strong economy” failed to impress many Democrats.  Perhaps, it’s because near half of the American Body Politic now receives socialist hand-outs of sort or fashion; and this, in turn, affords the aspiring socialists the daily sustenance required to pursue the politically correct orthodoxies of their Globalist Masters.

To be sure, the Orwellian Media and fascist online corporations also did their part to inflame the budding collectivists via propagandic narratives of Russian election-hacking, combined with the selective censorship of contravening facts and fact-tellers; even as fortuitously-timed conservative terrorism raged in the few days leading up to the election.

There will be those declaring the 2018 Midterms as a mandate for compromise; as long as any consensus and compromise consistently trends toward progressivism, of course.  At the same time, no one will question how, over the past four decades, America’s federal educational system has immunized previously fertile young minds against common sense and self-reliance.

Sadly, many, if not most, Americans have become immunized against reality, too.  This is because facing reality directly, requires honesty and acceptance.  Without these, were all on a fast train going nowhere good, and quickly.  Certainly, we are now like passengers choosing Uber drivers with no GPS capabilities, who instead follow their own directions while failing to even question why we’re so lost.

Anyone with any sense understands America, as founded under the United States Constitution, no longer exists. The decline, which began in earnest at the beginning of the twentieth-century, accelerated exponentially decade after decade as the seeds of fractional reserve banking and Cultural Marxism yielded their wicked fruit. In the new century it was the Patriot Act and political correctness that killed the Fourth and First Amendments, respectively.  And by the time Barack Obama and the political left were done fundamentally transforming America via the Cloward-Piven advancement of the welfare state, Norman Rockwell’s America, like Elvis, had exited the proverbial building.

Here are three reasons why elections don’t matter anymore:

1.) The Swamp Will Never Be Drained

Internet search “Clinton Body Count”, or “Gandy Baugh”, or “Arkancide” and the results will yield scores of links listing friends, co-conspirators, acquaintances, and body guards of Bill and Hillary Clinton who all died in apparent defiance of normal actuarial tables. It seems the lists and sites accrue faster on the net than the so-called “fact-checkers” can effectively debunk.  Yet nothing ever quite fits into the Overton Window, for some reason. Therefore, it must be false conspiracies, right?  Yeah, and Seth Rich died of natural causes.

Will anyone ever be prosecuted for Uranium One, FISA Abuse, Spygate, bleach-bitted servers, smashed blackberry phones, or missing e-mails? Will James Comey, John Brennan, Bruce Orr, James Clapper, and so many others ever see the inside of a jail cell?  Will the Clinton Foundation, and the Federal Reserve, ever be audited?

Not even close.

But now that Adam Schiff  (D-CA) will soon take command of the House Intelligence Committee, maybe we’ll get to the bottom of FISA Abuse and Spygate, right?  Don’t hold your breath, because he seems more interested in Trump’s tax returns, treason with Russia, and money laundering schemes that pursing any real justice.

In the meantime, and for the near future, factual reporting will still surface on the free internet regarding past corruption – like, for example, Hillary Clinton’s previous conversion of the U.S. State Department into her private arbitrage firm:

Hillary Clinton’s emails as secretary of state have revealed that her longtime friend, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, lobbied her heavily on behalf of Symbion Power.

Soon after Wilson began contacting Clinton about Symbion, a foreign aid agency chaired by Clinton awarded the company $47 million in contracts to build a power plant in Tanzania.

Of course there will be no investigation or prosecution. It’s always the same.

There are those who would argue that Trump has made a difference over the last two years, even if, in the end, it only amounted to exposing the hypocrisy of Snowflakedom.  Others would argue that Trump has made real progress, and has at the very least stalled the inevitable – and, therefore, has gifted the nation with the precious commodity of a little more time.

But the truth is this:  The national tree has rotted from above and below simultaneously.  Just as the highest offices of the U.S. Government has been wrought with corruption for decades, a fine example of the lower rot was more recently witnessed in the recent Arizona senate race between Democrat Kyrsten Sinema and Republican Martha McSally.  Seventy outside groups spent $55 million to “influence Arizona voter opinions” and the outcome, at the time of this writing, is still too close to call.

The Sinema / McSally contest is a snapshot of everything wrong with the country.  There is absolutely no comparison regarding the character and integrity of these candidates. McSally is an amazingly accomplished and formidable contender. Sinema, on the other hand, is the quintessential representation of the modern Democratic Party: A featherweight, lying globalist scumbag; complete with thick-rimmed glasses and a snotty attitude.

The fact that Arizona race was even close is a sign of the times. A flashing neon sign, actually, with bright red letters screaming: THE END IS NEAR.

2.) The Inflating Debt Bubble & the Imploding Financial System

Nobody can fix the current global financial system.  Not even Trump.   The next ten years will be insane. Forget about Blue Waves and, instead, focus on economic Grand Supercycle Waves. Interest rates will rise, unemployment will increase, and we will see large defaults on public and private debt. As recession becomes depression, there will be slowing consumer demand, inventory oversupplies, and decreasing production. After the global debt balloon pops, corporate bankruptcies will propagate around the globe like dominoes falling.

Just as the race to 2020 began after the final 2018 Midterm polls closed, economic cataclysms, war, and societal upheavals will soon cross time’s horizon right on schedule.  The global economy is a mile-high sand-castle on a beach, in the path of a Category 5 Hurricane.

The horizontal line-graphs showing debt to equity ratios of nations all around the world, over the last three decades, now appear as colorful ski-ramps before the edge of a dark abyss; and, so far, Trump has only drawn America’s debt-ramp taller and steeper:

As a candidate, Donald Trump promised to get rid of the entire national debt “over a period of eight years.” When this promise was made, the national debt stood at $19 trillion; it has since risen to $21.7 trillion. In the fiscal year ending September 30, it grew by $779 billion, up 17 percent from $666 billion in fiscal 2017. This year, after the Trump tax cuts take full effect, another $1 trillion worth of government IOUs will be issued.

Once again, when sovereign defaults turn the economic San Andreas into the Grand Canyon –  into the breach will flow printed money like a raging river.  As the ground shifts, hyper-inflation will deliver political and social unrest as societal structures collapse faster than the Twin Towers on that fateful Tuesday morning.  Although it will more likely be on a Friday afternoon; but, hopefully, not this Friday.

Regardless, be confident of this fact: The Global Debt Bubble will pop and the paper pyramid will fall, revealing a high-tech monster smiling in the chaos.

3.) Technocracy Rises: Big Brother Cometh

Beginning in the spring of this year, this blogger conducted an online experiment whereby internet headlines from various link-aggregating websites were recorded and arranged into catalogued anthologies.  The categories consisted of “The American Experiment”, “Capitalism & Marxism”, “Global Geopolitics”,  “Sex Crimes”, “The President & the Porn Star”, “The President, Lawyers, Spies, & Media Lies”, “Guns R Us”, and “Big Brother Cometh”;  with the final installment posted on September 1, 2018.

The idea was to track real trends, instead of political spin and empty promises.  Perhaps unsurprisingly,  the most chilling and comprehensive revelations occurred under the category of “Big Brother Cometh”.   The headlines included topics such as social media censorship, Mainstream Media cover-ups (i.e. memory-holing), biometric fingerprint scanners in sports stadiums, facial recognition software, the Surveillance State, authoritarian government proposals for regulating digital platforms, and so much more.

And the hits just keep on coming.  For example, on the day before this week’s midterm elections, the reporter Sharyl Attkisson again revealed the CIA’s “surveillance state spying on us all”, specifically involving newly declassified documents from 2014”

The March 2014 intercepts, conducted under the leadership of CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, happened amid what’s widely referred to as the Obama administration’s war on whistleblowers and mass surveillance scandals.

Oh, did you think the CIA was still limited to only collecting intelligence in defense against espionage or international terrorist activities?

Don’t be so old-fashioned.

Big Brother now runs unencumbered, and with ever-accelerating speed, in an obvious race to the inevitable finish-line at the end of nowhere good.  Voting changes nothing.  Not anymore.

CONCLUSION

On the day this article is posted, a Christian, Caucasian, veteran massacred 12 people at a country music bar in southern California.  It was another perfect hat-trick for the Surveillance State who now desires your guns.  Once again, whether the shooter was on psychotropic drugs, under psychiatric care, or an MK Ultra asset who answered his phone at just the right time – it won’t matter. The event will be politicized as a means to an end.

We’ve seen it all happen before in Europe, more than two decades ago:

In 1996, Thomas Hamilton walked into an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and shot and killed sixteen small children…and their teacher in the gym before killing himself. He brought two rifles and four handguns to carry out the attack. All six guns were legally owned: Hamilton had fully complied with gun control statutes.

The Firearm Act of 1997 was passed while emotions ran high. Gun control proponents push for an all-out ban on private gun ownership, in the much the same way that Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) reacted to the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary by trying to ban approximately 150 different guns.

Now, today, it’s a crime to criticism Islam in Europe.  Do you know why?  Because Islam is a perfect political system to establish Orwellian controls on any society.

Do you believe in coincidences?

Like Eddie Murphy, it’s coming to America; and voting makes no difference.

In the month before the 2018 midterms, the Orwellian Media broadcast 92% negative coverage of Trump  while, simultaneously, memory-holing political ads against illegal immigration.

Now the Democrats have won control of the House.  See how that works?

This is, obviously, election tampering. Yet Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team is looking for Russians while blaming Trump for colluding to conspire and illegally affect the outcome of a U.S. election.

The Orwellian Establishment’s capacity for projection never ceases to amaze. They always accuse and vilify others for what they themselves do.

Acceptance of reality requires honesty and this requires humility.  So now ask yourself this question:  Can America be made great again by voting?

In my own circle, even when progress is made with friends and family alike – after a short while, their rubber brains bounce back to stasis, and the next week they’re back to quoting me excerpts from the New York Times and praying for Blue Waves.

But can they really be blamed? They believe what they see, and disregard that which the Orwellian Media won’t show them.

Advertising really does work.

That one is pure gold Doug.

I am amazed that people believe anything at all that they are told. It does not bode well for the concept of democracy when large swaths of citizens are incapable of understanding the very basics of how they are governed.

And you think that they count your vote! How quaint.

Just saw two brilliant “Irish” movies this month. The first was ‘71 and the other was Black ’47.

‘71 is about the Troubles in Ireland and it follows a British soldier and his travails as he is separated from his unit and has to make his way through Indian country. It pulls no punches and portrays the moral ambiguity that informs every guerrilla conflict when the rising starts to rebel against the occupier.

Black ’47 takes us back 124 years to the southern island when the British version of the Soviet Holdomor during the potato famine proves that the 700 year occupation of Ireland has done the indigenous inhabitants no favors. The British Empire has always been a celebrated vampire nation in the annals of imperial misconduct.

Both films are beautifully lensed with ‘71 the more claustrophobic of the two and the broad gray vistas of Ireland a scene-stealer in Black ’47. The protagonist in the latter movie is a deserting Irish Ranger returning to his devastated homeland. Hugo Weaving does a great star turn as a British soldier who starts to see his path has always been immoral and wrong.

Both are brutal but vivid in the raw portrayals of men bent on revenge with no hope of redemption.

I had never heard of the Ribbonmen before, a new addition to my guerrilla bestiary. Ribbonists were most active between 1835 and 1855 and in the Tithe War (Cogadh na nDeachúna).

Great movies.

In other news, I no longer profess to be a libertarian, I am now a collapsitarian.

OK, I will be the skunk at the lawn party….this article is great, awesome but also a “so what”. Yes all 100% accurate, but like the vast majority of articles in this “unseen truth” genre….there is no action steps, no suggestions on mitigation. Nada.

We understand why…..the answers/responses and action items while simple is somewhat daunting and when the action becomes violent there is no turning both for the individual or the culture at large.

So grow a pair of balls Doug and share your insight and put a stake in the ground. What do we do right now, today has accepted that your analysis is on target?

Typically the “answers” are some half-baked militia type resistance….and while a single marine armed with a pistol and 2-3 magazines is able to kill 13 people including a LEO….nothing is accomplished by that…zero. Whatever his objective was…..it was not achieved…he is dead and that is that. Meaningless except for the suffering of the family and friends of the dead and the suffering of the wounded who survived.

We have however shown that raw political power can be quite effective.

The Orange one personally changed the Senate and now will have an easy time replacing the ailing Baby Ruth Ginsburg or the 80-year-old Judge Bryer. That makes a difference.

So yes the political process while frustrating, infuriating (AZ Senate race) still has value and is still effective at resolving our differences.

While I know the Left is not ready for a real fight, a dirty war, I also know the Right is equally unprepared to do what is necessary for a kinetic fight. So stop your bitching and let’s focus on getting more out of the political process…..the dirty war is still an option but you don’t want to go there…..

Individual armament is a start, not the end. Someone needs to be linked in with an organization who can win the hearts and minds of the local populace and conduct coordinated operations to expand the “Free America” geographical equation, whatever that may end up looking like in a fourth generation warfare. If you aren’t familiar with what a decentralized swarm insurgency or civil war might be I recommend you read up by checking the authorship of a guy named John Robb over at Global Guerillas. He is an instructor at the Naval Post Graduate school for modern war as well. Or check out how Henry Okah did with his campaign against Royal Dutch Shell. Tidy example there to be learned from.
Who is going to take care of the basic public safety issues, and coordinate access to resources that will enable an economy, however rudimentary?
Without these things, your little home defense trips to the range are a finger in the dyke as the tsunami grows closer. Lets not end up like the Balkans, shall we? Get your shit together now, and not just freeze dried meals and ammo. Get organized and think who is going to help you isolate and contain? Manage a court system? Reproduce a government essentially while at the same time removing the traitors and their useless idiots who brought us all to this.
Defend your castle yes. But think dammit. How are you going to reset the Constitution as Law of the Land holding an AR while you eat MRE’s and hang black out curtains in your living room?

I would suggest that everyone get the book “A Failure of Civility”. It’s written to teach the average person how to organize their community in times of disaster – all kinds. It’s loaded with practical ideas for those who would like to survive and how to help their family and friends.

Getting the book when the SHTF is too late. Get it now. You can’t defend your castle alone no matter how much of a badass you think you are.

It looks interesting but the cost is too steep for me. Thanks for the tip though.

On the subject I have a few like mined neighbors and attend a small rural church that I know the 100 in the congregation will band together. I have walkie Talkies for all my neighbors that border my farm. I have tried to lead and organize a neighborhood watch program but found the 12 neighbors on my rural road just not excited by it. Maybe it will take TSHTF to get them interested.

In the meantime, I did post the Baby Steps article nine months ago. There is a lot of similarity in the open of that article with the economic assessment in this one because repetition. Marketing experts say people have to hear a message at least three times before they are moved to action.

One of the believer’s comments was a brief mention of DJT planning a military parade, and the date scheduled was 11-11-18. Back then it was thought to be planned for D.C.

Just spifballing here, but it made me wonder. Did the NSA know the caravan plans by the black hats way back then, planned around the mid terms, and use subtlety to message how it would be dealt with if push came to shove?
Hmmm.
Nah, it’s probably a nothing burger.

I like the article, I hope that was clear enough. Yes, we are absolutely in an existential fight for our nation, our liberty and yes very lives.

The Deep State (permanent state) and the constant marketing to those who want the State to use its power on their behalf (FSA and many more). Look at the shit show in FL and AZ “post-election”….the DEMS always end up “winning” these close elections mostly through fraud. Having recognized the crisis and the reality of our situation we need to act. Admittedly my personal bias is “get out of the way” which I have for the most part living in MT but even here…..that reliable Schumer vote Jon Tester was reelected despite Trump winning the state in 2016 by 20 points! How is that possible. Extremely disappointing.

So as painful as it is, I have joined the GOP party and will be an active volunteer working as hard as I can to elect GOP candidates. Do I like “Republicans” hell no, I hate them just as much as I hate the commie left. But at this point in time, the GOP is a better choice and Trump has shown that the needle can be moved (a little bit).

We still have many stages to pass through before we start slaughtering each other with glee. So my comment was more a cry for help…..we need everybody in the liberty movement engaged and embracing the ugliness that is electoral politics….not that we want to but its better than pretending politics doesn’t impact us or planning for a violent response which is not currently warranted.

The day after the election I was driving about and listened to All Things Considered. Ai yi yi, but they were a gleeful bunch as they counted the women who gained power in Congress with 70% of the women candidates who ran against men winning their contests. But that wasn’t enough and they wanted many more women in power, who of course, have those benevolent socialistic tendencies.

Then they interviewed that gay guy who won Colorado’s governor’s race. Next came talk about impeachment and an investigation into Session’s termination. Talk was constant about the “educated” segment voting for Democrats (while never acknowledging that “educated” is equivalent to “indoctrination” these days).

The crew even liked that Cortez won her race and became the youngest member of Congress ever at 29, but never pointing out that she is obviously deranged and instead extolling her Hispanic heritage.

Listening to this was like taking so many shots of Stoly that you start drooling on your poker hand as you try to see what you got.

What a great mistake was done giving women and non-property owners the vote.

“Advertising really does work.” ——— article

Does it really?

We give the MSM/Orwellian Media a lot of credit …. I rail against them almost daily, or so it seems. But CuNNt ans MostlyShit-NBC reach AT BEST a mere 3% of the population! Hardly anyone reads paper magazines or newspapers anymore …. many are going out of business, and most are financially struggling.

Speaking of advertising … that’s what Trump has been doing nonstop for months now … and to YUGE crowds. Sure, the losses were smaller than usual for a midterm, but it still wasn’t enough.

Maybe it’s all Social Media. A brilliant article by Admin, Uncola, RGore and others is lucky to get 200+ reads. A “fuck Trump up the ass” tweet gets a million hits and goes viral. The world is fucked up and shit.

A booming economy (so they say) just doesn’t matter. Keeping SECURE borders just doesn’t matter. Maybe you hit the nail in the other part of your fine essay …. FREE SHIT, and really nothing else, is what drives elections.

Most TBPers believe this BOOMING ECONOMY stuff is bullshit lies and manipulations. Soooo ….. IF the economy goes to hell in a hand-basket in the next two years, it pretty much gives Trump a LOT of rope to blame the Demoncraps; ——– “In my first two years the economy was BOOMING, and when the Demons took over the House two years ago it went right to SHIT!!”

CONCLUSION
On the day this article is posted, a Christian, Caucasian, veteran massacred 12 people at a country music bar in southern California. It was another perfect hat-trick for the Surveillance State who now desires your guns. Once again, whether the shooter was on psychotropic drugs, under psychiatric care, or an MK Ultra asset who answered his phone at just the right time – it won’t matter

I wonder if the shooter will be associated with the “incel” movement…the “involuntarily celebate” ideology tied to the Toronto and Pittsburgh Synagogue shootings…

The nice thing about #2, “The Inflating Debt Bubble & the Imploding Financial System” is that you can count on it, it’s a certainty. When you have more debt than GDP, and the former is growing faster than the latter, it simple math that sooner or later the debt bubble pops and the financial system implodes. It’s not an if, it’s a when. And what does that do to a government that lives bond issue to bond issue? I can’t wait to find out.

Hollywood Rob….America is a Republic….not a democracy. Just sayin’.

In California I barely voted in 2016 – only for a few of my local “politicians” and AGAINST any tax increase bills. The “Demoncratic machine” bunch of Californians love tax increases. That’s why so many are moving OUT.

I did not vote last Tuesday as EVERYTHING is all smoke and mirrors. Deception. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Obama was the big game changer and millions were bedazzled and fell for his “change” not ever paying attention to what his Socialist changes would be….most here in America are so very blinded by all the dazzling smoke and mirrors.

We seem to be in love with the least common denominator whether in political “leaders” or Hollywood hotties. Anyone having real values like honor, integrity, sincerity, and especially common sense…are thrown under the bus. Some, a few, are waking up to reality and smelling the coffee but the majority still believe in Santa Claus.

I’m with lautenchicken on this one. The article is about why your vote does not matter. The most important issue is, however, that your vote is almost certainly not actually counted. If your vote isn’t really counted then you can argue all day long about republics or democracies, but you don’t have either. You have no say in what happens in this country…ever. Your opinion is worthless. Look this up and weep for your country.

Another issue showing voting doesn’t matter and that is foreign war policy. The Military Industrial Complex/CIA/Permanent State does as it damn well pleases and not a peep from the citizenry or polytickians.

13 dead in CA? A daily occurrence in the American/UK empire. A trillion dollar a year expense and nothing but chaos and “american/UK ” jobs as a result. Murder is good business and so is pushing us to war with China and Russia.

What Trump has shown me is the corruption in DC and that the president is just a sock puppet for the war profiteers.

You see; you know the condition of the human race. We are far from completion of our potential. We are along the way.

The way we have to progress together; is to first dump negative thoughts. Once we dump negative thoughts then we can look at the bigger picture. And the bigger picture is not about me; but rather, us.

People are attached to their thoughts. Change their thoughts and they change their mind.

Religion seems to have an overwhelming influence on the mind of many. Science also has an overwhelming influence on the mind of many. Why is there such a split when both Religion and Science compliment each other? It is because of a contradiction between faith and reason.

The cognitive development in man in just the last 200 years has been breathtaking; not discounting the last 2000 years. We have to recognize that development exists on many levels. That is why we cannot judge what is going on around us; but rather learn to understand it.

Right now we are on the road to hell; Chris Rea, but perhaps after listening to blue cafe we can take the chance and venture out of our cognitive captivity in virtual reality.

you are right, voting really does not matter. The selections are all paid for ahead of time and they do what they are told or they get killed.
What are the options?
1. Lottery, define the political jobs in terms of experience and education, then allow anyone that meets the criteria, with a $200.00 vetting fee, and if they meet the criteria, then that person is in the pool. We will have one party, all of on the same side. No Pre-paid politicians. Everyone that meets the criteria has a chance. No partisan ship and plotting and planning against the opposite party. Each will be an individual and this will present a whole new paradigm. No more career politicians, difficult to have a career with a lottery selection.

2. Government staff jobs, maximum of 6 years, as the maximum in political jobs, senator. After six years be it continuous or intermittent, that is it. Keep the staff at a high turn over, then no more deep state. Of course the agencies will move to contract workers, contract companies, and then the turn over will be higher.

3. Have a rule that any company that gets contracted can have 200 employees or less. The idea is to have the highest number of employees for which a paraidgm shift can occur. In order for a country to be great, paradigm shifts need to be able to occur and come into the market.
Paradigm shifts are kerosene lamp to electric light, slide rule to calculator, carborator to fuel injection.
Better, cheaper, quicker.

Treat each day as a wondrous gift, there is a scene in a movie where a guy is dying and taking his last car ride. Dark gloomy and raining the man sticks his arm out the window, marveling at the drops hitting his hand. Then the hand itself, opening and closing his fist in awe at the magic of it. Be that guy because we are all dying “Two ways. Gradually then suddenly”

Glad you added your third reason.
I’ve been aware of the Swamp (among other things) since just after 9/11/2001, and have since feared that it could never be drained.
I’ve been aware that the economy would face another, larger, crash at some point — since not long after the last crash. And I’ve feared that, too.
But in the last 2 or 3 years, the rise of the technocracy and their “Even Bigger Brother” Panopticon has begun to terrify me in a way I didn’t think I could be terrified. Total Surveillance to a degree that Orwell could never have anticipated, is the thing that will take this country from bad to (almost) hopeless.
