If you homeschool your child and don't shove piles of poison down his throat just because some bloated drug-abuser in a white coat says so, then the SWAT teams raid your house and throw you in jail. But! If you wear a yellow shirt and act like some official lackey slime, then you can feel up children and grope other men's wives, and no one does a thing about it.
First They came... - Pastor Martin NiemollerThis is the way it always works in the end. This is the way empires always collapse. It starts with busy-bodies getting all up in other people's business. They holler and complain that someone isn't behaving the way they want. They push and push until some government agency is created to ensure that you do exactly what they want you to do.
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Then the agency grows and sucks in more budget and takes more powers. Then it becomes the very thing it was designed to fight. This process is repeated a hundred times over, until the country goes broke eating itself alive.
It's like 'Child Protective Services.' Pardon me while I gag. It's populated by a bunch of do-goodie numbnuts with Social Work degrees (whatever the hell those are), who don't have kids of their own, and who want to tell you how to raise yours because they read it in a book. Vile scum is what they are.
Or how about 'Transportation Safety Administration?' So far they have done absolutely nothing to make anyone safer, but they hire a bunch of brainless thugs to grope and feel their way through your family.
How about the 'Internal Revenue Service?' A bunch of mafia knuckle-busters who are used to go out and steal your money at gun-point to pay off a debt to a foreign corporation that you didn't authorize.
The list goes on: Secret Service, Central Intelligence (LOL!) Agency, Environmental Protection (hahaha!) Agency. They're all a bunch of useless idiots who couldn't get real jobs, so they signed on for the nice pay and great bennies, courtesy of your pocket and labor. Each one targets some group in society and preys on them until there is nothing left. The part they never think about is that eventually everyone is in jail and they are all left investigating each other. It's an endless, no-win scenario.
They problem is, they do absolutely nothing to the real criminals. Instead, they go after the regular folks who can't afford to hire a 'Dream Team.' Everyone reads about it in the papers, or watches the 30-second blips on TeeVee, and feels all justified that somehow society is getting cleaned up.
Then it happens to you. You go about your business and don't think about the fact that the thugs are running low on real perps and you are next. Did you EVER take a questionable deduction on your taxes? Did you EVER exceed the speed limit? Did you EVER take a hit off a joint in college? Did you EVER spank you child?
You scum. You should be in jail. When you're rotting in Sing-Sing, then I can feel justified that my tax dollars are being effectively used to clean up America. After all, they'll NEVER come for me. My crimes are so small and piddling compared to YOURS. We're busy watching each other and trying to catch each other committing little nothing crimes, that the real perps are getting away with murder...literally.
It's like the cow that used to live next to me in the States. She was always watching out for parents doing something with their children she didn't like. If you so much as cast a shadow over the line, she would drop a nickel on you with CPS. Yet, her son was known as the best pot dealer in the neighborhood and her daughter was a teen-aged Matahari. Word has it someone finally repaid her good deeds and she got bit by the same vile creatures she was always turning loose on others.
Here's a thought. CPS allows anonymous tips, because all vile and filthy vermin do that. So, start calling CPS, everywhere and all day, and report the TSA yellow shirts. Won't that be great fun? We can all sit back and watch as two groups of Nazi scum go after each other.
In fact, that's a great idea! Start calling various agencies and reporting agents from other agencies. Keep those useless scum running around in circles investigating each other. While you're at it, throw in your local congresscritter. After all, the most egregious violators of the law usually hide behind masks of law-makers. Just paedophiles like to get positions of trust and authority over children (hmmm...maybe TSA agents?). Just like child abusers becoming foster parents so that the vile CPS vermin hand them victims, under shadow of law.
It's all so...filthy.
I think it would be great theater if CPS started getting thousands of calls reporting TSA for child abuse. If they don't investigate the reports, then why should anyone take them seriously? After all, isn't that what they are supposed to do? Protect children? Hahahaha! It would kill two agencies with one stone.
Why, it's just like the BATF killing 80 men, women and children in a church using every kind of modern weaponry, all because those folks supposedly had guns. Or how about the DEA boys who are running drugs across the Mexican border and protecting drug lords? Better yet! How about the unlawful guy sitting in the White House dusting his Nobel Peace Prize while killing hundreds of thousands of people in four different wars?
And all because you willingly and fearfully hand over your money and follow anyone with a color-coded shirt and a piece of metal in their pocket with pretty designs all over it.
And people wonder how the German people could go along with the death and destruction that Hitler brought to Europe. And all those people paid their taxes and went along with it because they were afraid of being a target. Thus millions of people were easily controlled by hundreds of vile creatures.
It's really amazing, when you think about it.
There was an experiment a few years back, where volunteers were told that a switch in front of them was hooked to wires that would cause great pain to someone in another room. The volunteer was to ask a series of questions, and if the other person got an answer wrong, they were to flip the switch. All because someone in a lab coat told them to. And they did. Even when they thought they were inflicting severe pain on a complete stranger. In almost every case.
It's just like a friend of mine, trundling down the six-lane interstate in his massive Ford pick-em-up full of eletric and electronic equipment, sipping on his 'fair trade' coffee that was flown in from Columbia via half a dozen middlemen, grousing about how people live resource-intensive lifestyles, on his way to make a documentary on global warming. He honestly didn't see the irony of it. He was doing the right thing, just like Algore in his personal Boeing 737.
Anyone that comes up to you and says you ought to be doing things their way should be immediately arrested and taken to Gitmo. They're the ones who are supporting the Empire. The problem is, they won't see the error of their ways until the goon-sqad comes to their door. Until then, they are just self-righteous do-gooders who think they are being oh-so-helpful by changing the world to suit their tastes. It never occurs to them that maybe other people like things different.
You see, the minute you want to use government force to change me, then you have created empire, and that empire will come back to eat you and everyone around you, because empires can not be constrained. They will grow and swell until they have consumed everything around them. Then they turn inward and start eating their own guts.
It's happened over and over and over. And yet, we keep building more empires, because you can't stand the fact that maybe I want to live differently from you. It's the whole fallacy of forced integration. Why should I have to live with a bunch of people who want to mow their lawn, when I like mine a little more natural? Then when you create a police force to make sure my lawn is just like yours, you have destroyed my world to make you happy.
The only problem with the collapse of empires is they tend to take just about everything else with them. It's the hallmark of cowards to make others suffer their fate with them.
But certainly, the world is much better off without them.
