Fraud of governance

but it was 'gross incompetence'

organizational failure

When the people don't trust the governance they no longer support it, but just are pretending when they pay it respect. The integrity of governance is the metric. When governance no longer has the respect of the informed citizens, it no longer is really running things. It becomes a protection and enforcement and shakedown racket for a protected class of politicians.

Is that what we see today? Is it really at that level?

I guess I can quote David Byrne Same as it ever was. You didn't really think that they would recommend that she be treated the same way that they would treat all of us who aren't in on the game?

When authority collapses, it isn't 'all' authority. It is those who show themselves are frauds, who do not follow the obvious mission, who apply law in a tainted way, without justice and for the causes of the few to subjegate the rest. If there is a bad cop, a bad politican, that never means all. But people act like that. As if one example of moral failure means that 'they all' are moral failures.

I read some headlines about the vote for British autonomy and it was all a prophecy of collapse with the term 'ashes' to describe the result of what happened. Clearly a writer who is using an idiom without visualizing the meaning of the words as they seem if you aren't understanding that the use is idiomatic. There are no ashes from the British vote. No one wants there to be ashes. And no one expects that the power that supported that vote is in a state of total collapse. Nor do they, and they ought to understand, nor do they think . . . I really don't know what they think.

We need to route ourselves in the fertile ground of reality. We disrespect the institution only as a theory. In the real world we will still be brought before the judge and the jury if we revert to a creep like nature: rape, murder, mayhem, inserrection will always be crimes. You will always have to respect the judge and give defference to the office or be considered a criminal or revolutionary.

If we let the system continue as a subtle tyranny to the bad ideas of the ghosts in the machine, and let the conformist class of current rulership continue with the heedless plans of their progenators, very many people will loose their respect for the parts of governance controlled by those people. There won't be an insurrection, there will be no revolt. But neither will people remain silent about it, nor will they follow the suggestions of the hypnotised conformists of co-oppted governance. The institution will fall into misuse, or just be a fully funded zombie governance.

It would be good if our next president were a reformer who could redeem the parts of the governance that have fallen into ill-repute. Those parts are in dire need of reformatin, and it had best come from within. There needs to be a silent revolt from within the governance to weed out the moss of privledge from the lettace garden of the institutions designed for the betterment of the people, the will of the populace, the decesions of the voters. But we have a pliant and conformist aristocracy of indifferent fatted-goose officers of governance: children or neighbors in childhood of powerful people and brought in to be conditioned, and if they could be then put tot he front of the line, and made to conform.

Is it their fault? Do they even realize how they were molded and conditioned? Do they understand that their free will was partially voided to listen to that ghost in the institution: the voice of some long dead benefactor class of aristorcatic theive: hoping to steal the future from the rest of us.

But here is 'what it is is' (a quote from commedian Martin): You can't steal from the future to pay for the past because the future won't have it. People will not, and should not live as slaves to governance. Governance should present a persona worthy of respect. INstead, when we are faced with a yummers at the public troff governance, most know that the fraud is on it, and that the service provided is tainted or scant. That kind of governance exists as a byproduct of graft. People never respect it, nor do they heed it, nor will they follow it's guidance. They may let it bully them for a while, let them be an example of one who is the victim of the tyranny of the heedless conformism of aristocratic and heedless inherited stations of the officers of governance: intellectual nepotism and ideological bullying. If you don't sing in the off-key that they specify, you don't get to stand on the stage. You might not even be let in to hear the performance. No special favors for you. And you clearly aren't getting into the after party.

So, againg same as it ever was. None of us are here as our final destination. Those who think that life is winning and making people their slaves have already lost. They can redeem themselves. But, meanwhile, while they are in the throws of the delusion of their rulership none of us have to put up with their hectoring yammers. And we do as little as necessary to meet all of their requirements. And we do not follow their leadership. Their incompetent selfish rulership prevents rational people from believeing in them. And the spell of operant condition is quickly broken. The recently unhypnotized can be cranky when they wake from the hullcination.

So lets have no crankiness. You don't believe in that part of the governnace anymore. That is clear to many. But still believe in other people Still believe that it all going to work out. That we can all still get the food to market, and the gas in the tank of the car.

The fad of group-think conformist governance is cultlike. And it can become parasitic. But we feed and pay heed to those with integrity. When that isn't there the lifeblood of belief in the institution is not there, the institution is cut off, and eventually it will be obsoleted when it is found out to be a big waste because none of the public patronize it.

That is the theory. In truth: a useless parasitic organization can exist for a long time fully funded and doing nothing more than providing some few jobs. Up until the time of reformation. That has not happened in 40 years.

In conclusion: we need to get out the truth: Gross Incompetence. Someone unsuited to be president.

Democrats, I don't want Hillary for PRison. I knew she wouldn't get charged wiht anything. But can't you pick someone better? The governance of the parts that you control are some of what I describe here above. The reformation of the uselessness of parts of it will come some time in the future, a generation, or next year. But here is what it is: when the reformers start cutting they don't always find the right things to cut. You got all of what you wanted for 40 years. So you need to ask what parts of your now bloated system should not be cut. And defend those. And the ones that are coopted? Reform them from within. Otherwise the coming reformation of governance won't be to your liking. Start the process while you are still in charge and cut things that really aren't functioning. I'm not saying layoffs (RIF), I am saying reform of governance, reorganization. It is going to happen. Not all of it will be going away. But a lot of it will have to. IT's gotten too bloated. This administration has been profligate in their spending, without regard for consequences. The change is coming. Either embrace it or be caught off guard by it.

And after all of that, even after reformation and the ellimination of wasteful governance, it will still be Same as it ever was. So don't fret. Just defend the parts that work. Make the case for those agencies that do their jobs well.

Let me start the process: The Army Corp of Engineers did a lot of awesome work building critical infrastructure for flood control. Even with the reformation of governance we could give them more funding and that would be a boon to all of us.

So go and put up your 'best governance' suggestions of cudos to some agency, and support that which works. If you start naming out the agencies and organizational governance that you don't like, you are only going to upset them and make them possibly give you some kind of a . . . response that won't be kind. It seems as though some agencies have been used like that, like we delude that someone could be targetted just for the vehicle that they drive: for example a Jeep Patriot, based soley on the name of the car. Doesn't that sound absurd?

It's so absurd that if it did happen wouldn't it be found out and curtailed? Wouldn't those who do such be shamed into different behavior? Wouldn't that be awesome.

So I suggest that my audience read Psalm 37, and realize that in this world things (things?) often work out that you dn't have to do anything and the wicked have their comeuppance. There is nothing you need to do other than not be a party to that wickedness.

Well, it's hard, even though it is nothing. So it really isn't nothing. You still need to speak truth to corrupt power when it is out of control. You still need to demand justice when justice is not being provided. You still need to call out racists when they are out and in someone's face. On the street, in the crowd.

And it is hard to do that in a way that is not unkind, because that is the most important part of politics: non-violence.

This is not an excuse for cowardous, and overlooking the obvious flaws. We all knew that Hillary wasn't going to get charged with anything. But at the same time most of us wish she would at least not be rewarded for it.

So all of you who are still on board with her as your candidate? Would it really be that hard for you to stop enabling her? Can't you find someone who does not display Grossly Incompentent behaviors in matters of national security?

You can get her elected, but no one who doesn't vote for her will ever respect her in that office. She will diminish the presdency and void the federal bureocacy for very very many people. We will do the least amount as necessary to meet our alledged obligations only to avoid the punative nature of bully governance. Her election will put us well on the road to dissolution of the federal mandates. It will diminish the importance of the Federal, and all of that imposes.

Of course, all of this is my acessment. My analysis might be flawed. And I don't know who would be a better candidate. But I do understand human nature: people do not heed the corrupt except as much as the bullying of the corrupt can enforce. We will not be slaves to the bad ideas of the progenators of conformist bullys in power. And instead of 'Internatinalism', we will get a devolution of the National, and a reversion to local or fuedal control.

That isn't horible, but it certainly is retrograde. We benefit from being a nation. However, if our leadership is not to be trusted, we can't be blamed for not supporting them.

My hope: that sensible people realize that their candidate, as well loved as she is, has a taint, that might not be her fault. And even if it's all just a big mistake and she really is that kind of noble person worthy of being a leader, the taint, and her association with operatives who have been eggrigious (Benghazzi) with lies . . . presented as narrative and putting them in to an 'echo chamber', which is a definition of propaganda: this woman should not be president! Choose someone else.

The management here
hopes that the readers
decide to be kind.

This period of Deconstruction
will soon end.
He'll get his new beginnings
all along the moldings, lined up.
those railings, all glisten
in the first light of the day
the sun light reaches
far within and makes it all 
clean and pure 
like petal fall

showering down like snow

When you're alone on the train
you aren't really alone
there are all kinds of other people
traveling on that same line,
going in a similar direction,
very many destinations
end of the line.

Destination train
moving through a forest
in a driving rain
She said he was insane
for getting on that train.

Destination 2 aim
2 AM in a driving rain
she knows he'll come back again

When you're alone
on a bus
you aren't really alone
the driver is there
all the people you can see 
out on the streets,
down the allyways
besides the buildings
sidewalks glisten
the reflection of starlight
the must be people there too,
space aliens of the long ago
so you're never really alone. 
You're never really alone.

Destination train
driving rain
Destination railway station
in the far away
through the fogs of time
the forests of lost contemplation
where the tallest trees of the forest
will swap their spots, dance around,
a square dance
of sequoias
so in the light of day
they're all OK
and back to where they were before
or who can say?

Destination 2 AM
driving rain
far away train station
freezing rain

Here is today's pretty poem:

  

   Love in a time of 
   collapse of belief
   in the integrity of
   some of the governance.
   
   
   

    

Big moon
in the midnight sky
big big moon
all across the sky
you can see the crowd
as the marching band
marches by
take the crowd a'dancing
off toward the stars.

Oh you big mouthed moon
why do you rave
about the government
while you're in your tie
you are that kind of guy
who has nothing really ready to say
but rest assured,
and he can't be cured
you'll say it any way.

Oh you big mouthed moon
  big mouthed moon
but the women swoon
becaue youre always the most kind
and the worst you do
if anyone's judging you
is to always speak your mind
so in the end you might be wrong
but the world is not harmed.
Oh you big mouthed moon 🌛 🌜
Oh you big mouthed moon  🌝
Oh you big mouthed moon 🌔

There's a river
of infinite love
flooding from on high

There's a river

flushing through the gorges
through the heart of all.

off into your all

Be nice to yourself and others. What other choice?

Wake up!


You know I thought you was the Buddha
I must have been tripping
on a great big hootta
unn ha haa


Wake up
Wake up
Wake up while you are sleeping

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up and go to sleep

Waking
and rising
sleeping and
dying
and reincarnating
or are they just lying?

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up while you are dreaming
are you ever really awake?
Is it something you can fake?
Can you ever stop
your scheming?

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up and go to sleep
while you are dreaming
while you are resting
you'll wake up when your rested.

If I go off to dreamland
for a life time or five
Is there something wrong or the matter
if I enjoy
being alive?
If I go off to dreamland
and live a good life and stay true
does that take anything from you?

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
when you are ready
ready and rested
and not second guested
Wake up
and be you.

wake up and be unaware of being the Buddha

♥♥ Praise ♥♥ the ♥♥ Lord ♥♥ !!
