Regulations are a Form of Domestic Terrorism: The way government workers slow everything down to rule over society

The reason I say that all these accidents and fires that we see tragically destroying people’s lives and even killing them are acts of terror is that some admissions must be made before the situation can be corrected.  Trump is disrupting a lot of government workers with terminations, and D.O.G.E. is going to cut into a lot of sacred cows, and there is a percentage of those employees who will imply terrorism to the system they control to force the world to see things their way.  For instance, whenever there are air traffic control accidents, the sentiment is to slow everything down and pander the workload to the worker’s feelings, not to make the worker step up to the job’s demands.  To protect this subconscious contract, regulators come up with more rules of conduct that keep the focus off personal performance and instead slow the world down to the weaknesses of the workforce.  In the case of all these airplane accidents, as has been the case in the past, a premise of safety first will force everything to slow down and encourage a population to throw money and more employees at the problem to deal with the compliance aspects of bad regulation rather than challenge the premise of them.  And if people complain, all federal employees will go slower, just like at your local BMV.  This attitude has flowed essentially down into every regulatory environment, from restaurants to tire making, and it’s a big problem.  The reason we have so much waste in government and way too many employees that can easily be removed is that we have allowed radicalism to rule over our labor without the expectation of good performance being a factor in any way.  Instead, our focus has been to make all jobs equal for all people. We have allowed these people to use regulations to hide dysfunction, and that is where we find ourselves today.

I have vast experience in this kind of thing; I have seen every type of ugly thing that human beings can do to each other.  I watch the Davos meetings every year, and this time, of course, all the talk was about Trump and his concept of deregulation to get the American economy moving again, which had them in a panic.  Many forces have been using regulation to artificially stop the American economy so globalism could sink in and empower other countries, such as China, to overtake it.  So whether people die in plane crashes or have their homes destroyed by fire, rules and regulations have been hiding for a pretty long time the true intentions of radical, socialized labor sponsored by an increasingly large government.  And the more that Trump’s administration proposes to cut federal workers and to get rid of ten regulations for every new one created, the more accidents will happen, and much more damage to private property will occur because terrorism is baked into the system.  So, to answer your question, dear reader, are some of these workers that radical? Would they kill their fellow human beings by short-staffing an air traffic control tower?  Yes.  Would they use technology to take vehicle systems over to cause life-taking accidents?  Yes.  Would they purposely start wildfires and destroy entire neighborhoods with arson?  You bet they would.  They will do anything and everything if they have the power to do it, and they will hide their crimes behind do-gooder rules and regulations that put the burden of proof on the compliance side of all business, leaving the provocateurs free to conduct devastating mischief.   This is how we ended up with the completely useless TSA after all, and if you tried to get rid of that unionized menace now, you would undoubtedly see an uptick in domestic terrorism involving airplanes, planned and perpetrated by them.

How do I know?  I could tell you many stories, dear reader, that would make your skin crawl.  However, one easy one comes to mind: I was involved with a rag-tag group of investors and treasure hunters to open a business that involved changing the use of a current location.  Keep in mind that I was in my mid-twenties and learning a lot.  But these lessons would last a lifetime.  I had to hire an engineer for this project to build a fire escape and a few other items that would require a drawing involving this “change of use,” so there were HVAC systems, handicapped accessibility ramps, plumbing, lighting, all kinds of compliance elements that were taking the cost of the project out of the range of the investors, so I had to push back and challenge all these crazy rules.  Because it was a simple business that didn’t need millions of dollars.  But to be compliant, the system required vast amounts of money to throw at the trolls.  I told the engineer and several lawyers that we wouldn’t spend 30K on a new air conditioning unit. And we were not going to do a 100K staircase for a third-floor building.  And we wouldn’t spend 20K on a new handicapped accessibility elevator.  We would challenge all those rules in court and with the Cincinnati Building Commission at City Hall.  Well, the engineer got mad; he was friends with all the CBC guys, and they were used to jacking up the price on entrepreneurs to milk the system for all the money they could get.  The scope of this project’s total budget was only 20K, so the numbers were way off.  However, the engineer and all the lawyers involved were upset that I wanted to bypass the system they had set up.

Long story short, I was involved with other people in this thing and it was a miserable experience that ruined a lot of lives in the process.  We ended up firing the engineer, and I essentially took over his job and all the legal work. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do to deal with those people.  I found loopholes in their giant regulatory book, which was 3000 pages long, and we got our change of use permit without all those extra costs that the engineer proposed.  It was challenging, and when we overcame all the objections the CBC guys had about our project, they laughed and moved the project along.  They knew and could have told us how to move the project forward.  But we had to figure it out or throw money at the problems through the expert class.  I ended up in court representing myself as legal counsel for the next two years, and it caused me all kinds of horrible trouble.  But we did get the permit at a significant cost.  I would say that for every federal job eliminated, there will be that level of trouble that will stick its head out of the sand, and the Trump administration will have to fight all of them in court.  It’s as bad and worse than you can imagine.  I would see much worse radicalism over the next three decades, and all the rules that come out of the compliance culture are every bit as horrendous and a real drag on any business enterprise.  Rules by themselves can make a project good if they are well thought out, and that’s what Trump means by saying that for every regulation created, you have to get rid of ten.  That doesn’t mean we have a worse society that is dangerous.  But we write rules better and do not impose them just to empower a radicalized workforce to nonproductive efforts and to be terrorists to the free market system.  Which they currently are.  And yes, they will kill and destroy anybody who gets in their way to preserve their power.  When you see an accident, do not assume, when it comes to federal employees and other government workers, that there isn’t an element of terror behind it.  Because there probably is.

Beetlejuice and the Head-Shrinker: Standing and fighting instead of getting up and leaving

What’s going on with conservatives? Aren’t they all like Mitch McConnell asks the modern progressive loser working in government, bowing to the feet of the United Nations, and has always had globalism as the sovereign idea for the future of humanity? No, they were never like Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, or Liz Cheney. The Cheney family, the Bush family, the McCains, the Portmans, and other similar political figures have been propped up to represent the conservative side without actually representing anybody but liberals. And there aren’t that many real liberals in the world; not once people started really talking to each other. Instead, Republicans are more like the witch doctor at the end of the great, funny movie from the 80s, Beetlejuice. You might remember when Beetlejuice was in the afterlife at the end of the movie, and he had a long wait in the receptionist lobby for his appointment with the everlasting. But next to him is a head-shrinker who will be called next. So Beetlejuice steals his number by tricking him into cutting in line. The behavior of Beetlejuice in that movie is how I see Democrats, takers, ostentatious imposers of time and money upon the world around them. And Americans, real Americans, are tired of them and want to do to them what that head-shrinking witch doctor did to Beetlejuice upon realizing that the guy had just stolen our ticket. The witch doctor simply sprinkles some dust over Beetlejuice’s head; just like that, his head shrinks to close out the movie with a funny ending. That’s where America is with globalism and the sorry, loser Republicans who have helped it along.

This issue hasn’t been addressed before in America because conservatives have always responded to liberalism by moving away. You can see the trend clearly if you have watched real estate values over the years. Where liberals move to, conservatives move away to get away from them. It’s even more evident in crowded movie theaters. You might notice that few people ever choose to sit next to someone else if they don’t have to. Americans like their space and their personal freedoms, so when given the option to turn the other cheek and leave, they usually do. Conservatives never choose to sit down next to a heavily tattooed, blue-haired liberal covered in body piercings and to start conversing with them. Instead, they’ll do what they need to do to be as far away as possible from them. When those types of people start moving from one place to another, conservatives pack up and leave. Only now, we live in a time where there really isn’t any place to go. Traveling a lot around the country, you can see this condition  most apparent in places like Austin, Texas. Liberals have been encouraged by radical progressives like George Soros and many like him to invade conservatives in their home areas and attempt to convert them to liberalism or make them move away so that liberals can take over the local government in those areas. Those areas then become blue areas, states, or cities, and then start the process of personal destruction because Democrats take over those governments. 

Now there isn’t anywhere to go. People have moved, turned the other cheek, and are now red with the slaps. And Republicans have not represented them the way they sold themselves. Real Republicans are tired of having Beetlejuice continuously stealing their number and cutting in line, playing them for suckers. So they are fighting back; they are turning toward Trump, who fights back the way they want conservatives always to do. And that is why voters are picking Trump-backed candidates in the upcoming election over traditional offerings. That’s why political machine families like Liz Cheney are suddenly ineffective. They never represented conservatives, but Democrats knew if those people were in government, it would be easy to destroy conservatives any time they wanted.

For many years people just tried their best to ignore politics and its influence over their lives. But eventually, it was just Beetlejuice and the witch doctor sitting alone in that lobby of the afterlife, and everything was going to come to a head, which is where we find ourselves now. Republicans want their party back. They don’t want to keep moving and avoiding Democrats wherever they appear. Aside from moving into space, there isn’t anywhere in the world anymore to get away from the globalist goals of Democrats, so finally, the idea of standing and fighting is part of the conservative view. Ten years ago and beyond, conservatives might have said about their liberal instigators, pray for them, wish them well. Then they would go to their homes in rural America and give themselves space to deal with Democrats, and it worked so long as they could get away from them. But not anymore. Now the Democrats are moving all over the country like the disease they are, destroying healthy tissue in government whenever possible. It’s what they do; it’s all they do.

Fortunately, there really aren’t that many Democrats, which will become very obvious if America moves to paper ballots and a one-day election as they have in France. All the early voting that Democrats want and the mail-in considerations have only opened the door for massive cheating, which has obviously been going on for a long time, and in giving the impression that Democrats were even with Republicans in real numbers among the population density. In actuality, there is only one Beetlejuice in a roomful of Republicans. There really aren’t that many loser liberals out there, which becomes apparent when you see a voting map of America where only a few blue areas show concentrated in large cities and their surrounding counties, while the rest of the nation is overwhelmingly red. In the past, conservatives would just sell their property and move to leave behind their homes to incoming Democrats. They’d move to Florida or wherever liberals weren’t and hoped to avoid dealing with Democrats in any way possible, just as they do in crowded movie theaters. But a point comes where people realize there is nowhere to go, so they are turning their need for change toward the Republican Party as a whole and replacing the kind of candidates that represent them. And that is what is at the heart of the MAGA movement. People are tired of their own version of Beetlejuice and want retaliation for Democrats always stealing their stuff. And they want to fight back, finally and fully. That means Fox News has lost its audience. The Chamber of Commerce’s view of the world has lost its grip on mass populations. And publishing is obviously making a turn; the books that are selling are not the memoirs of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as they used to be. It’s The Great Reset by Alex Jones and news about the Trump White House by Jarad Kushner. And people will go wherever Trump is on social media because they want the head-shrinker who will retaliate against Beetlejuice and defend conservative values instead of always being a sucker to liberals. Sure, there is panic among traditional media and the leaders of political parties. It’s scary to have their head shrunken by an angry conservative. But it’s the wave of the future and will just get more intense as people stop doing what they have done for years, and that is to get up and leave. When there is nowhere to go, standing and fighting are the only and next option.
