The US-led political West is known for its chest-thumping when it comes to buzzwords such as “freedom, democracy, the rule of law, nonpartisanship”, etc. To that end, thousands of major NGOs (and God knows how many smaller ones) are engaged in creating the image of the political West that “leads the world” in all of the above. If you go to websites of organizations such as Transparency International or the likes of it, you’ll find the US, UK, EU and other vassals and satellite states to be in the “blue” or “green”, while the actual world is all “red” or “orange”. The key … Continue reading →

“He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows when you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness’ sake!” —“Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” You’d better watch out—you’d better not pout—you’d better not cry—‘cos I’m telling you why: this Christmas, it’s the Surveillance State that’s making a list and checking it twice, and it won’t matter whether you’ve been bad or good. You’ll be on this list whether you like it or not. Mass surveillance is the Deep State’s version of a “gift” that keeps on giving…back to the Deep State. Geofencing dragnets.

Money is power. With all of this reckless spending the government has done, it is time for a reckoning. Demand a balanced budget and pay down the debt. Defund the swamp and these corrupt politicians will have their main source of income taken away. The swamp will have to shrink itself and loads of money and wealth will return to the private sector.

Veto any spending that exceeds government revenue. No more continuing spending resolutions. It will be painful for some but it has to happen. Take away from the Pentagon the money or any other agency they cannot account for. No more foreign aid, wars, or pet projects will be funded. Only the entitlement programs that are paid into by taxpayers will remain. Let the states run their own welfare and disability programs, schools, law enforcement, etc. Keep government and spending local where it is more controllable. Run their own welfare programs.

This is not quantum economics, just plain common sense, which is not so common anymore.
