The powers that be

[freyasman]

have enjoyed abusing their positions for far too long, IMO, and in the opinions of a lot of Americans.


They are corrupt, evil, dishonest as hell and what's even worse...... just plain stupid as shit. They are incompetent at everything...... they can't even steal well, they get caught doing dirt all the time but they keep getting a pass on all their shit for some fucking reason I sure as hell don't understand.



People have had about enough.
Thing is, you don't really have to overthrow this power structure, you can make it go away just by enough of us ignoring it. Suppose all of us who got our votes stolen in the fraudulent election just didn't pay anymore taxes? Think that might ruin some shitbag politician's day?
And what are they going to do about it?
They can send goon squads after us but those guys like to be paid, and they want to be alive to spend those paychecks, so where are they going to get the money to pay them? And where are they going to get the funds to pay for the disability pensions and death benefits for the ones we kill when they come to rob us?

We probably wouldn't have to shoot but a few dozen of them before they decide to turn around and go after the folks who sent them instead of us.





The folks who are "in power" only have the power we give them....... we withdraw that and they are homeless beggars on a street corner. Fuck them.

It's up to your police and intelligence agencies to hold politicians in check. To charge and arrest those who abuse authority and place your national security at risk, be they businesses or politicians.

I recall reading about foreign intelligence agencies basically spying on America and telling their spies, "don't worry, even if you get caught, what is the worst thing that will happen to you? We will just make a trade of spies or pressure for your release and you may spend a couple of months in prison".

It's quite possible that foreign agencies are far more entrenched than people understand and they are telling American politicians a similar message. "What's the worst that will happen to you? Have you ever seen a politician arrested or thrown out of office even when they earn millions? How about a wealthy businessman or Dean of a college"?

Without consequences for those who abuse power, all you suggest is that it's happening but those checks and balances don't really exist. There was a time the FBI were world renowned for their reputation of going after high value targets. Now it's just catching foreign spies in the act or putting them on a blacklist after they leave Is that enough?
