Mad King George Protests an Elected President

 By Charles Eldridge Marshall

     

                                                 George III of Great Britain 1700's 

  

Dear loyal readers- Today I have a couple of different topics to explore with you.  

Regarding June 14th 

     Today is June 14th and the Democrats have organized a nationwide protest against President Trump whom they call a King.  This is ironic because as a criticism of the Democrats and all their stooges in the media, corporations, and academia I have often referred to THEM as "Mad King George" in reference to King George III of Great Britain who was King of England during the American Revolution. He was the figurehead we were fighting.   It is ironic that we have an invasion of undocumented immigrants  who demand their right to stay in our country and the man trying to stop them- President Trump- THEY call a King.  How is he a King ?  Their answer is that he's sending them back to their home countries (as if he's sending them to prison) and they have rights.   Using that logic, the Germans had the right to Poland when they rolled in with tanks back in 1939, starting WWII.  As illegal immigrants they have the right to be sent back home and nothing else.   President Trump ran his campaign on cleaning up illegal immigration and that's exactly what he's doing.  That's not a King,  that's an elected President doing what he said he would do in his campaign.  The people listened and voted for his way of thinking.   Whoever is behind this is "movement" is depending on the stupidity of most Democrats and their lack of knowledge or understanding of our country's history and how our government works.   It helps that they don't want the knowledge anyway.  They only want to "feel".  

        There has always been a tone of deception within the Democrat party as they profess to demand Democracy when we are a Democratic Republic- a government elected by the people but arranged to avoid the whims of a herd that can easily be deceived.  Their very name is a sort of lie.  As we have all seen- rule by Democrats can easily turn into "Mob Rule" which is what we're seeing today across America.  "We want it and we're angry so we are pitching a fit over the matter."   Much like "Black Lives Matter and other Marxist inspired movements.   Pillage, burn, loot, turn over cars and even cut down street trees to cause disruption and give the media something to feast on.  That's their version of Democracy.    

         

Regarding Mad King George 

      I have struggled with my reference to the group and/or mindset I'm calling "Mad King George" today.   I've had many different names for the enemies of our country here in the 21st century.   I've used Mad King George, Marxists, Communists, and Silent Tyrants.  One of my favorites is "the looters" which Ayn Rand used in her book "Atlas Shrugged".   You often hear the term "Deep State" which I've used a few times.  The problem with "Deep State" is it's seems too simple when the problem is more complex than that- the issues is wrapped around everything in society,  not just the state.  "Mad King George" reflects our history but it also has a slight comical tone to it that I don't intend.  The minds, the people behind the assault on our country are truly evil.  This evil is not reflected in referencing them to a monarch from 250 years ago.  Also, in defense of George the III- he did actually suffer a mental illness (there's a great movie about him  Called "The Madness of King George" - here's a link if the reader is interested Madness of King George )  George III was sincerely just trying to grapple with the beginnings of the fall of the British Empire.   

Suggested Names ? 

     Any suggestions or opinions on my listed names from my readers would be welcome.  Maybe I'll set up a poll.   A name that reflects the Anti-American nature of society today- in our entertainment, our medical field, our corporations, our arts, our buildings, our universities, our streets, our neighborhoods, our government, and most obviously, our immigration.  I don't like the term Ani-American because it's used too much.  The problem becomes ignored.  It loses its depth.  What we have today is far deeper than just the United States and even western civilization.   This is the work of evil minds and satanic thoughts that seek to diminish the significance of the common man.  It's contrary to what our founding fathers fought for and what our veterans died for over the last 250 years.  It seeks to focus power on the elites of the world- whoever they may be, whatever they call themselves and whatever I call them.  They believe that they have right solutions and they have the power to dictate to us.  They dictate to us how to think and what laws are "moral" or not "moral".   They dictate which laws should be enforced and which should be ignored.  They believe they are the minds behind the world revolving on its axis.  But they are not.  You, the individual, are the mind behind your world and all individuals actions and thoughts are as important as any others.  This is the philosophy that will bring about prosperity and joy for all humanity.  This is the empowering concept given to us from God and through Yeshua the Messiah, Jesus Christ.   Fulfillment of each person to be free to think, and to speak, and to express, and to create and to work as you should please.  That is the heaven God intended for us.

The Democrat Party - The Hub of Mendacity

 By CE Marshall

                                                                   Pants on Fire 

     This week the news is out that President Biden has pardoned his son from federal prosecution.  Not prosecution for what he has already been charged with,  but with ANYTHING that he may have done against federal law over the last 10 years.  This after Mr. President said repeatedly he would not pardon his son and after his press secretary said he would not pardon his son- over and over and over- "no he won't do that because he believes nobody is above the law".   Yesterday, he did that.   Actually, he did much more than that.  ANYTHING that he might have done is pardoned !  If that's not preferential treatment I don't know what is.  He IS above the law as it turns out. 

     The Democrat Party- the party of liars.  Neither I 'nor anyone with much intelligence is surprised by this but it still is such a blatant lie that it's hard for even his cheerleaders in the legacy press to ignore.  As all of you know, dear readers, the Legacy media aka Corporate Media, etc... are joined at the hip with the Democrat party and really have been for quite a while ( I would say going all the way back to Watergate when Nixon's sins were pursued where a Democrat that did the same thing would have been given a "pass".)  In this blog I have often lumped the Democrat party with the media and academia and Hollywood and big pharmaceutical, big food,  lobbyists,  etc....  as being "Mad King George",  drawing the parallel to King George of England during our revolution.  I think it might be more accurate to simply refer to them all as the Democrat Party because the Democrat party is the hub of the "spokes of mendacity" and corruption that is Washington, DC.  It wouldn't happen, these wheels would not turn without the Democrat party.  

     There needs to be a full investigation regarding all that Biden business dealings with the Ukraine and China.  Any government actions that gave preference to the Democrats over the Republicans whether through "lawfare" aka using the courts to prosecute political enemies or using government agencies to give preferential treatment to Democrats should be recognized and actions should be taken to remove these actors from power and perhaps put then in prison where they belong.  If it's bad enough, the Democrat party needs to be dissolved and a new left-wing party can rise and step into their shoes as a voice for people with such opinions- one that's leftist but still stands for America.  They are no longer a party for America, they are a party of deceitful elitists and the global establishment that use the government as a weapon against the people.   They are the problem..... In my humble opinion.

Treason Against the American People

By Chuck Marshall

     The Democratic leadership and their minions in the mainstream media have refused to accept the will of the people.  They have taken over Congress and used it as a weapon against a President they despise rather than as a tool of the people they supposedly represent.  They are a party searching for a crime.  They are not interested in the United States or its people they are interested in their own party, their own feelings and their need to feel virtuous and superior to the rest of the world.  That world includes the poor people they claim to be so concerned about.  Make no mistake, they don't sincerely care about these people except at a very superficial level.  What they really care about is controlling all those minds.   They are addicted to their ideas of government where it solves all the problems and they are the "solvers".  They despise  Donald Trump because he is the first Republican since Ronald Reagan with the guts to stand up to them and their minions in the national media.  He has dared to try and "drain the swamp" they so adore.  He must be stopped at all costs in their minds.  

   What has been the crime of Donald Trump ?   Everything he has done is exactly what all manner of government leaders have done for the last 30 years except that they hate him- so what is normally ignored or minimized has become worthy of impeachment.   What they normally see as  "part of the job" has become a "dangerous crime" that must be investigated and prosecuted. 

What has Donald Trump done ? 

     He has kept our country out of war.  Despite the government's normal tendency to use our young men as a tool to get what they want on the world stage- that this be virtuous or not is beside the point- he has reduced the need for troops in the world.  The conquest of ISIS alone has saved thousands of lives, both American and not American.   In fact, he has done what he said in the election-  kept us out of wars and brought many of our troops home.  The world is not ours to control militarily and if some other power wants to walk in and try to control it themselves, then let them.  There are other, more effective ways to influence foreign powers that do not require we sacrifice our young men.   It's called negotiation.  Such  an idea has been foreign to our government for a long time.  The answer has always been to step in and spend more of our money and spill more of our children's blood to get what the old men want. 

     He has established a roaring economy.    Through deregulation and a reduction in taxes he has established a solid economy from the most basic of economic facts that any student understands at a gut level;  Money begets more money.  A thriving commerce is good for everyone in society.  Anything that gets in the way of commerce should be scrutinized and minimized to encourage a flourishing market.  That he has done.  Again, exactly what he said he would do in his campaign. 

     He has exposed the media for their partisan politics.  Witness the faces of the mainstream media the night he won the elections.  The man they thought they were using to get a Democrat in the White House actually won !  Not only did he win but he is the most obnoxious and crass of all the Republican candidates.  "Oh, woe is me"  you could hear them cry in their hearts.  The last three years has simply solidified the horrifying fact that the mainstream media is "all in" for the Democrats and their ideas and any Republicans are to be scrutinized and minimized as much as possible.  It wasn't all in the  imagination of conservatives after all !   It looks like this bias been abundant since around the election of JFK in 1960.   The partisan nature of the mainstream media and whoever controls them is now an obvious fact.   The election of Donald Trump is a consequence of the media and their games.  I supported Marco Rubio whom they clearly disliked because they could see he might beat Hillary Clinton.  Their games came back to haunt them and hopefully - history will show- that was the beginning  of the end of this silent tyranny we've all been living under for more than 50 years.  


      Really, the biggest crime of them all is the Democrat controlled Congress.   It seems the job of congress is no longer to represent the citizens of their districts but it is to go after political opponents and make money off the American taxpayer. I thought they represented all the people but today they only represent the citizens belonging to their party and whatever corporate crony or special interest is paying their bills. We live in a time of extremist tyranny where we have a government caught up in partisan politics and cronyism to the point that it no longer functions.

Mueller Investigation- They Searched for Cigarettes but Hoped for Heroin

By CE Marshall

            The unfortunate Robert Mueller- In Charge of the Wild Goose Chase

   
     We should all be breathing a sigh of relief that the Mueller Investigation conjured up by the the Democrats did not reveal a treasonous president, right ?  Well, anyone watching the mass media these past two weeks knows that the Democrats are NOT relieved at all.  They are not relieved  because they weren't really looking for collusion in the first place.  They were looking for a reason to impeach President Trump and they used "collusion with a foreign government" as an excuse to keep looking under every rock for something more damaging.  Collusion with a foreign government is not illegal, it's simply inappropriate.  I liken the Mueller investigation to searching someone's home looking for cigarettes but hoping to find heroin.  They didn't find cigarettes 'nor heroin.  The Republicans, on the other hand, are doing a victory dance because the Democrats and their minions at CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NYTimes, et al...  have been made to look like fools, once again. 

     So, congratulations Republicans for another win under the President you hold your nose and love;  President Donald Trump.  He continues to win and I am not tired of this economy, that's for sure.  My comfort and satisfaction in life is a consequence of a vibrant economy as it is for the majority of Americans.  The fact that Trump is a blunt speaking, unpolished, un-presidential ogre is a  minor irritation that I have learned to live with.   Neither I 'nor the vast majority of Americans is under the illusion he is another Lincoln or Reagan.  He gets things done and helps to bolster the individual's ability to succeed.  That is at least as important as eloquence, in my humble opinion.  For now, anyway.  In the end, my fellow Americans, WE are in charge. 

      I am not relieved that Trump was found innocent of treason because I never thought he was guilty in the first place.   I knew it was another example of political, partisan nonsense.   The main premise of the Mueller investigation was that Donald Trump could not have won if it were not for the Russians helping him.  How could they have helped him ?  Do they have a knack for marketing to the American public that nobody else has ?  The 2016 election had billions of dollars thrown into it,  but somehow the fact that the Russians met with Trump and they spoke with him caused his victory ?   Trump helped the Russians "stir the pot" on Facebook and Twitter because normally Americans get along fine and dandy regarding politics ?   Is it that the American public is a bunch of idiots and this time they "got it wrong" because the crafty Russians fooled us all?   It's all so mind boggling stupid.  All Americans must understand that this was not a real investigation into Trump's dealing with Russians but it was a partisan attack with the very real intent to find something to bring down a duly elected President.   No,  I'm not relieved or happy I am livid !  I am "pissed off" not for the benefit of Donald Trump but for the way our government has become a three-ring circus of liars, greed, avarice,  and clowns.  The mainstream media are the ring masters of this treasonous sedition against the American people.

Tyranny of the Democratic Party

     I got into a bit of a debate with a Facebook friend today.  He essentially was diminishing the actions of Trump and Kim Jong Un's Summit with this post: 

"The North Korea "summit" doesn't seem to be about denuclearization but about a megalomaniacal dictator who wants the illusion of legitimacy by having this meeting."  

Of course all his liberal friends jumped in with agreement and answered him with the very predictable "which dictator are your referring to?".   Ha Ha.  Well, all that didn't set too well with me so I had to reply... ...you know me !   "If there's a dictatorship today it's the Democratic party refusing to accept a duly elected President & that is actively working to remove him from power for Trumped up reasons. Excuse the pun..."

The liberals  went into full "apoplectic" mode and they expressed great confusion at my comment. (not surprising for many reasons)   So, I decided I needed to draw a picture for them since they've been "dimwitted" by the idiocy of CNN, et al.  I stated: 

      "Let me walk you through it 
1) Dems have control of government through the massive DC establishment.  Massive government is a Democratic ideal, so it stands to reason they are very involved in the workings of the FBI, CIA, DOJ, etc... They hate Trump, just like you- especially those at the top.     
 2) Prez Obama decided he had to guarantee Clinton won the election because Trump was unacceptable - that should be very easy to imagine for all of you cause you'd probably do the same thing. 
3) Obama instructs his "besties" at the FBI to "spy" (or whatever you want to call it) on the Trump campaign and even gets help from establishment Republicans to set up a fake dossier that speaks of Trump doing obscene things with a Russian prostitute. 
4) The media - always essentially towing the Democratic philosophy-- are only too happy to help by spreading the "fake news" regarding Trump's Russian prostitute to their buddies in the other networks. Additionally, CNN even fed debate questions to Hillary. 
5) Once Trump won, VERY unexpectedly, the Obama administration and the FBI knew they could be exposed- so they decide to essentially "frame" Trump for "collusion" with the Russians (which actually isn't even a crime). Their hope is to stall and badger Trump along with their "besties" in the media with full throttle, daily attacks on him to the point he can't even do ice cream right. Maybe break him ? Then, hopefully get a Democratic congress in the midterms and somehow impeach him. 

6) In conclusion- the Democratic party under Pres Obama and with help from his administration, the FBI and the DOJ conspired to remove the decision of the American people to elect Donald Trump by conspiring against said President. You know this is true because all of you would have done the exact same thing--- your hate for Trump is so blinding to you that you're missing the fact that you are endorsing the Democrats efforts to rule America without having legally been elected. Dictatorship."

The Democratic party, much like the Republican party before Trump, is focused on only what's best for IT.  What's good for the country is of very minor importance.  They are treasonous and they are fully capable of tyranny if allowed to control our government ever again.  We must never let that happen.  Vote in your elections, vote for ANYONE- Independents, Libertarians, Green Party, Republican... but DO NOT VOTE DEMOCRATIC !  Their behavior and actions this past year have removed their right to rule any office in our country ever again........

In My Humble Opinion.  

Locker Room Talk

By Chuck Marshall
   

     The weeks is now dominated by the Donald Trump recordings caught back in 2005 where we got to listen in on what he refers to as "locker room talk".   I read the comments of a friend on FB who supports Donald Trump, defending him regarding the entire episode.  I understand he wanted to defend his candidate at all costs, but "through thick and thin"  got pretty thin this week.   Anyway, this friend has been one of my best friends since high school, so I know him pretty well.  What bothered me was that he would drag himself down to the level of what was recorded of Donald Trump.   His comments were defending Trump by saying;  "that's how guys talk" when the ladies aren't around.   This guy was at my bachelor party, and I  heard nothing similar to what Donald was caught saying in those recordings from my friend or any of my friends.  Of course there's banter about sex but I've not heard such talk of forcing ourselves on girls or getting a tic tac because we couldn't resist forcing ourselves on a particular girl and especially there isn't open talk among  my married friends purposely going after a married woman.   With all due respect to my friend's intentions., "he's wrong" to put himself in that category- my friend has far more class than that.   Of course there's talk of enjoying the opposite sex in "locker rooms" just as that sort of talk crops up among women, but grabbing a woman by her "pu***" as Donald explained as his romantic strategy ?  That, I've not heard before. Guys like that are generally looked at as dorky and are avoided as time goes by.  The difference is Donald has money so the leeches and maggots of my gender tend to cling to him making him think he is liked for who he is.    "Wrong, Donald" they like you for your money and they probably don't really like you very much after that.   You're a dork.

Election Process Fails All of Us

    

      It's all a game.  That's what the problem is with our election process.   It has turned into a game- just like football or basketball- where we have the Left VS the Right and it all becomes about the game and not about the actual issues.  The ideas to fix our country are never the focus.  This is why nothing ever gets fixed and why we're in the middle off the most inept., incompetent, disgraceful government the United States has ever had.  It's all a game.  When the focus is the disagreement then the solutions become secondary.  When the focus is specific faults of the candidates' personalities that have nothing to do with leadership., then it's a game.   When it's about who can get the most attention due to outrageous comments,  then it's a game.   The citizens of the United States and the world deserve better than this !  I mention the world because we are the leaders of the world.  The world has little hope of stability and prosperity under the leadership of any other country.  We are it, and we've turned the entire process of Democracy into a game.

     Who's at fault for the game we call politics ?  We all are, because we'd rather watch the candidates at each other's throat than listen to plausible solutions.  We want the game because it's easier to lay back and be entertained rather than think hard about the issues and work to distinguish who can help move our country and the world towards solutions to the problems at hand,  The half-truths that the candidates feed the people are meant for the uninformed American public because it's easy to confuse an issue and disguise the truth from the people under such circumstances.   Political ads, at their core, are all lies.  We're so close to solving serious problems but the brass ring continues to elude us.  We still have wars and recessions and poverty and pollution and uneducated children because we refuse to cooperate and be smart and select leaders who will lead us and bring solidarity and progress    We refuse to do the work that needs to be done therefor we allow the political parties and the media and special interest to lead us by the nose down roads that lead to THEIR  prosperity and THEIR opportunity and THEIR power.  We are the enablers.

     What's the solution ?  1) Remove money from election process in totality. There was a time when elections were the candidates, the voters and a ballot box.   The problem is there's  money to be made, but why is that the obligation of the citizen to allow that ?   2)  Remove any and all advantages that the dominant political parties have in the election process AND in the governing process.  In the beginning of our republic there were no parties and things still "got done".  3)  Educate our children to understand and scrutinize their leaders and to participate in the government.so that they see the complexity of the issues not the "black and white" that we've all been brought up on;  the "left vs "right", "Democrat vs Republican", "conservative vs liberal"  bunk that the media has spoon fed us for so long.  It only behooves  them and their political cronies to maintain the status-quo.  There will always be disagreement, but that should not stop action to  minimize the struggles of the every-day citizen and to encourage liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  We have it in our power to do this.  We owe it to our children to fix this thing we call politics.

The Federal Deficit and Trinkets

By Chuck Marshall

                                                                    Correction:  19 Trillion 

     Is it just me  or does it seem like both parties are missing the mark on the deficit ?   The Democrats see it as “no problem” and they’re perfectly willing to spend more money with new ideas for funding every manner of life to the lower income public;    Community college, medical,  cell phones.  Perhaps they can start sending poor people on cruises so they can clear their mind and  “find their center”.    They offer trinkets to the poor folks--- it’s what they do !  It’s best described as “Socialism".  "You vote for me and I'll get you things".   

     The Republicans, on the other hand,  see it as a problem but they’re much more inclined to CUT taxes since that would “bring more jobs”  (and I suspect it wouldn’t hurt those that fund their careers too much either).   But,  if they were totally honest they would admit that there is no clear “causal” effect between cutting taxes and the consequent jobs that would be created... besides at 5% unemployment I don’t think the the situation is that urgent.    Certainly not to the level they claim with their siren calls for more jobs !  Also, as I understand it,  if you cut taxes that will INCREASE the deficit, not reduce it.   There IS a causal effect there !  So, with all due respect to their need to help out our wealthy countrymen,  I don’t see how that’s going to fix the problem we have.     In a nutshell,  the Republicans offer trinkets to the rich folk in the way of tax cuts and tax advantages to the largest corporations.   It’s best described as  “Crony Capitalism”.  "You fund me and I'll help you get away with things".  

     I’m in the middle and I want trinkets too.  I want a government that recognizes the severity of the situation and is willing to cut the waste of our bloated government and revisit  our process of taxation so that it makes sense.  Let's get money coming in from EVERYONE – including the spoiled rich cronies that fund the politicians’ careers.    I want the trinket of the peace of mind that must come when you have a wise government that makes sage decisions for the good of the country.   It’s best described as  “Common Sense”.   "You vote for me and I'll do my job".  

The Age of Incompetence - 2015 Reviewed

by Chuck Marshall


 Dear devoted readers,

 As we bid 2015 farewell, I'd like to review some of the more irritating stories of 2015 because that makes me feel better.  Somehow it's the ointment that soothes the swelling of my discontent.  These are in no particular order, so just see them as all equally irritating in my eyes.

Donald Trump-  I have written a couple of blogs regarding "the Donald" and I even had a letter published criticizing him to the local bugle,  "The Orlando Sentinel".  My feelings are a little more lenient as I've gotten use to his antics and I see him as less "concerning" and more as an "opportunistic egomaniac" who knows how to use the press.  He's also a smart businessman, and this is all just business to him.  As much as I don't want him to be President, I do see the appeal in his humor and his success in the business world.  We've let the lawyers and bureaucrats run the show for so long, I sincerely don't see how he could do any worse.  As for all his statements that "alarm" the press and the left.... nearly all of these are impossible for him to do - he knows it and the press knows it but it gets him attention and it gets the press "eyeballs" and that's all either of them really cares about.  If  his fans really believe he can do these things he promises then they need to crack open their 8th grade civics book.  I say that with the caveat that all politicians do the same thing, but Trump is a lot more clever about it.   He lies like all of them, but he just lies BIGGER .   Used car salesmen promise "it's the best value"  but  Donald Trump  is the only one with the nerve to promise it will also fly.      


Climate Change (or whatever you want to call it) -   This is such a political "hot potato" but in my humble opinion, it should not be.  If the scientists say it's a problem then I certainly don't have the knowledge to argue with them.  Why would they lie ?  Are they all Democrats ?   And, if I might add... assuming they are correct then it's everybody's problem not just the Democrats.  The controversy really lies more in the solution than the actual problem.  The Republicans have allowed the Democrats to steal this one right from under their noses with the notion that the only way to fix it is through the government.  The conservatives need to start offering solutions to this problem and not keep trying to deny it's even a problem    Remember, this is our planet - our children and grandchildren will be the ones who pay if we don't get this right.  The right needs to get their head out of their ass and propose free enterprise solutions to a real problem.  All problems have the  highest potential to be solved from both the government and free enterprise.--that is--when both act in concert.  It's not that complicated.

ISIS/ISIL/Daesh/Nazis/ Scum -  Please can we at least come to an agreement on what to call them ?  This group of murderers is getting so much attention and often it seems there is a desire in the media to blame someone.  Was it Bush for invading Iraq ?  Was it Obama's fault for withdrawing form Iraq?  Was it Obama for not stepping in when it started looking bad in Syria several years ago ?  Is it Europe's fault for being spineless cowards in the face of such a nearby threat ?   Is it the moderate Muslims for not expressing enough outrage ?  Is it our fault for provoking extremist Muslims ?    In my humble opinion, it's all of the above but MOSTLY it's the fault of ISIS themselves.  They are the ones "doing" it after all.   Now, let's coordinate with the non-murdering world to remove these scum from power.

National Debt-  It's now nearly $19,000,000,000,000- That's Trillions.  The Demcorats?  In my mind this is the left version of "Global Warming".  They have their heads up their ass as they seem to think it's absolutely no problem - even offering all kinds of new goodies to hand out such as free college education.  It is a total outrage that this is such an ignored issue by the left.   I promise you though that they will pay attention when  our nation veers towards bankruptcy but then, as with Global Warming,  it may be too late.  

The Political Parties-  Today we are looking at Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as the most probably options for the general election.  Do I really need so say anything else regarding both groups and their total failure to the American people?

Restoring American Democracy, Part IV The Snake

Before we start getting into the elections themselves, and how removing money from the process will make such a difference in the leaders that we get, I wanted to spell out the biggest causes of concern in modern America so that ALL our big problems are there, on one page, ready to review.  The simplicity of what I'm proposing will eventually reveal how these very big problems don't have to be such big problems after all.

As I think about all the frustrations regarding our government today, these daunting obstacles keep surfacing in my mind and I'm sure in the minds of any thoughtful reader as well.  They are like the five major parts of a snake, each of them functioning together, dependent on one another as they slither their way around Democracy and constrict thus rendering the ordinary citizen powerless.  The five parts are;   The Lobbyists,  The Elections, The political parties, The media and the National deficit.

     1)  The lobbyists.  Our government is in the palm of all those interests with enough money to gain influence.    Usually this involves lobbyists that essentially hold our leaders "hostage" that no Congressional leaders should expect financial support if "things" don't go the way of these moneyed interests in society.  The largest lobbying organizations are Pharmaceuticals, Medical, the US Chamber of Commerce, Big Oil, etc.... Have you noticed substantial good being done by our government to help the American Citizen regarding any of these groups?  No, of course not.  The lobbyists aren't there to help the American people, they're there to help themselves.  So then, how can our leaders claim to be representing the American people when the truth is so contrary and so obvious to all ?

     2) Elections.  In the 2012 national elections the following amount of money was spent by our wonderful leaders ;  The presidency;  $2,000,000,000.  House of Representatives; winner spent on average $1,400,000 and the average winning Senator spent $9,800,000 !

How can any ordinary American hope to get a position of leadership when the cost for such endeavor requires a "King's Ransom" for this ascension?  They can't.  That's why half of all Congress is occupied by millionaires.  If they're not millionaires, it's actually  worse because these individuals are most assuredly in debt to a lot of people.  This will require a lot of favors and therefor a lot of  "maneuvering" in our Capitol.  This activity will occupy much time and effort that would otherwise,  rightfully be devoted to the good of the American citizens they represent.

     3)   The political parties;   The Democrats and Republicans.   These consummate enemies  have had all the power for far too long.  Not only do they have too much power, but they've turned the governing of the greatest country in the world into a perpetual "Football Game".  All touchdowns and/or penalties are for the benefit of each team and the only group that always loses is the American citizen sitting in the stadium, frustrated at their lack of influence on the players below.   The power of the parties will continue as long as they stick to hating the opponent and swearing they will do all in their power to bring them down, no matter the consequences to the people themselves.  They've suckered us all into believing that the art of governing must be in perpetual dispute, a tug of war over ideology, a necessary evil.  In actuality, it is the job of our leaders to "lead" not argue.  Disagreements should be the exception, not the rule.  There are far too many American citizens who are hurt because this simple act of leadership is so sorely missing today.   I doubt it is their conscious intention (as a blithering "herd", neither group really thinks),  the political parties have neutered the power of the American people by dividing us.

     4)  The media, aka, "the enablers".  They criticize and provoke and instigate, and then sit back and watch the fun.  I'm sure they all enjoy the news with a bag of popcorn clutched in their claws,  the way human beings watch movies.  The media power brokers would most assuredly recoil at the idea of removing money from the election process.  Not only do they stand to lose a lot of money from political campaigns, but they also lose the pure joy of stirring the pot every 2-4 years.  In the end it will be a benefit to them as they will be the window we all watch into a new process of election., and they can perhaps learn what it is to remark on intelligent, coherent problem solving rather than the the "cock fights" they are so use to encouraging.

     5) The national deficit.  Right now it's $17,000,000,000,000.  That's disturbing just typing it.  I don't think I really need to elaborate too much on this topic., in that it's alarming unto itself.  If you imagine the interest on this debt, and let's say the world's interest rates spike up, then we're all screwed.  The reason this has happened is because we have an incompetent government.   They get us into wars and then refuse to pay for said wars.  They spend on bloated government bureaucrats for positions and departments that sometimes are replicating the work of another department.  They offer life time jobs to incompetent people  They spend your money and my money on over-priced medical procedures, military equipment, etc... because all their vendors know they can get away with it.  They are incompetent., but because of this incompetence we are all stuck in debt with no apparent way out.    Make no mistake, this is everyone's problem.  The fact of the matter is,  there is NO incentive for them to stop spending once their party holds the power in government.  It's  like their reward for getting into the office.  They seem to think that once they've won, the money is all THEIRS to spend.  We have to change that mentality.

We can sever the head of this "snake of incompetence" by withholding its source of power;  Money.
