A Quick Tour of the USA Econo-Political Landscape

A doctor's lament:
We could change the paradigm. We could as a group elect not to take any insurance, not to accept Medicare—many doctors are already taking these steps—and not to roll over time and time again. We have let nearly everyone trespass on the practice of medicine. Are we better for it? Has it improved quality? Do we have more of a voice at the table or less? Are we as physicians happier or more disgruntled then two years ago? Five years ago? Ten years ago?
Well, the patterns and practices of capitalism include buying off people who are necessarily kept from being productive.  Now let's hear from those being bought off with EBT cards:
A group called The Counterforce, which has protested against tech companies in the past, spent Saturday evening “chasing down Uber cabs and detaining them amidst traffic.” That’s according to the inaugural post written by a Counterforce member on a new blog called “Destroy Uber: A clearing house for the destruction of Uber.”
Oh.  Kidnapping people.  That is a crime.  The police don't recall receiving any 911 calls.  Of course not!  Most Seattleites know it is a very big mistake to ever dial 911.   In Seattle the police will not interfere with kidnappers if kidnappers will not interfere with police.  Professional courtesy.  It's called the Starbuck's Rule.
“We are anarchists, not socialists,” Counterforce wrote. “We want the abolition of the economy, the destruction of capitalism, and the immediate communization of all shareable resources.”
They wish they were anarchists.  How do you abolish an economy? Sure, get rid of capitalism, sooner the better, but economics is how a household is run.  How do you get rid of how households are run? You can change that, but you'll still have households and they will still be run. Communization is socialism, so this group is internally contradictory.  The reason this group keeps their faces covered is they are police.    Anyone in any group who advocates violence is necessarily working for the police.  Every police department has people inside advocating violence.

Meanwhile, back at the FBI...
Information about the alleged plot first surfaced in FBI documents — released through a prior FOIA request by a civil-rights legal organization in Washington – that referenced a “plan to kill the leadership via suppressed sniper rifles,” according to court documents. It’s not known who was behind the alleged plot or whether the FBI investigated it.
Funny that.  Snipers in Syria, snipers in Iraq, snipers in the Ukraine... snipers snipers snipers.  Now in this particular instance a judge is trying to do the right thing, in getting the FBI to answer what they knew about snipers targeting the Occupy Activists and when they knew it.

But here is the real problem.  Then what?  Judges are just a venal as the rest of us, and are highly desiring of blowing with the wind, which every way it is blowing.  But our system has broken down, there is no reading a newspaper for accurate information, there is no congress that shall pass a coherent law, there is no executive branch subject to the law.  So how can a court gauge what their ruling is supposed to be in any given moment.

Right now, the courts are punting, buying time until something gives way.  Like when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court called the Obamacare failure a tax not a fine.  Whimsical.

The USCongress has voted the Military can take over the government when it decides it "needs to."  Of course they can only "indefinitely detain" a US citizen secretly, but that is all it takes.

The people who are elected to office are done so by fraud.  I know, I watched close-up one year.  And anyone who is elected can be brought down, due to total world surveillance, so most are compliant.

Sometimes, one steps off the reservation, and gets hammered hard and quick as an example.  Here is a federal prosecutor statement on the arrest of a Congressman:
Grimm, as an accountant, attorney, former Marine and ex-FBI agent, "was poised for success as a small business owner," but "made the choice to go from upholding the law to breaking it," Lynch said in a written statement.
Wow...  how the mighty have fallen.  What was it?  Narco-trafficking?  Murder for hire?  White slavery?  No, "Healthalicious."
The restaurant also used cash to pay some workers -- some of whom didn't have legal status -- and then didn't report the payments to tax authorities, Lynch's office said.
Wait, what?  What restaurant in New York City is not using illegal aliens and paying them at least partially under the table?  Ever heard of staging? How do you think anyone can do business in USA without that?  If you do not cheat, you are bankrupt and can't pay your taxes.  This is what is called selective enforcement.

Well, how come target Grimm?  Hurricane Sandy.  Look at the aftermath of natural disasters in USA.  The Feds come in and arrange recovery.  The rich and powerful end up with the assets.  Mayor Nagin spotted this instantly in New Orleans after Katrina and made his famous "New Orleans will remain chocolate" statement.  Soon enough Nagin was in prison for what any mayor does.  And on 20 counts, just like Grimm.  Twenty sounds so, what, ... guilty.  Grimm is having none of the asset transfer post-disaster activity, so off to prison with him!

Our country is broken, our courts, bless their hearts, would love to help out but they have no idea which way to rule.  The legislators are all suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and have voted for a military dictatorship as the powers that be pull what strings are necessary to get America to hate the executive branch.  Military strongman ahead!

There is an alternative: truth commissions.  Short of that, we will remain ridiculous.
