Your Federal Government Is THAT Corrupt – Top 3 Takeaways

Your Federal Government Is THAT Corrupt – Top 3 Takeaways – April 20th, 2023 

  1. Your federal government is THAT corrupt. Tuesday two stories broke which removed all doubt about the pervasiveness of the corruption in the swamp. And while they weren’t directly connected, the implications and some events pertaining to them were very much interconnected. The first, John Ratcliffe, former Director of National Intelligence, provided his prepared testimony to Congress pertaining to COVID origins in which he said... My informed assessment, as a person with as much or more access than anyone to our government’s intelligence during the initial year of the virus outbreak and pandemic onset, has been and continues to be that a lab leak is the only explanation credibly supported by our intelligence, by science and by common sense. There it is. The only explanation is the Wuhan lab. Not that this is a surprise to any of us. Because as Ratcliffe testified, aside from literally all of the evidence pointing to the Wuhan lab leak, it’s also a matter of common sense. That’s what most of us had deduced independent of having access to all US intelligence on the matter. But it’s the rest of the story that speaks to the institutionalized corruption on the matter. Know how many times Anthony Fauci sought insight on the matter from intelligence officials? Not once according to Ratcliffe. Yet he felt confident speaking out on the matter? Another witness former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State David Feith addressed that directly in his sworn testimony saying: Many of the most influential US government and academic authorities on virology were coordinating to disprove any type of lab theory. These officials and scientists knew that COVID may have come from a lab; they knew that a lab leak could have resulted from research in Wuhan funded by the US government; and they knew that if such research were in fact part of COVID’s origin, they could face professional and personal embarrassment. So, these officials and scientists evidently collaborated to convince the government not to investigate the origins of COVID. Now, let me walk you back to what Ratcliffe testified to China’s government doing during that same window of time: Destroying medical tests, samples and data to intimidating and disappearing witnesses and journalists to lying and coercing global health authorities even spreading propaganda. Again, who’s really surprised? But then you put it together and what you get are US officials, a la the Fauch, who quite literally were doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party, while they eliminated the evidence and all of the people associated with it. And given that we know Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Health financially contributed to the Wuhan Lab, which he has admitted to in previous Congressional testimony, it all adds up. Your federal government is THAT corrupt. But that was just one of the two Tuesday stories pertaining to widespread corruption. Then there was... 
  2. Elon’s revelation. Our federal government is so corrupt that we’ve long known that the FBI has flat out “advised” social media platforms that certain “disinformation” was likely to soon hit. You know, like the entirely truthful Hunter Biden laptop story by the New York Post which was censored along with all who tried to share it on various platforms prior to the 2020 election. What we didn’t know until Tuesday is that they may have flat out been doing the censoring at the social media platforms...along with spying on any private communications they chose to. In part two of Elon’s interview with Tucker Carlson Tuesday night came a revelation that the FBI was granted “full access” to direct messages of private citizens on Twitter. Quoting Elon: The degree to which government agencies effectively had full access to everything that was going on at Twitter blew my mind. Now what kind of country, for that matter what current country, spies on its citizens this way? It would seem the COVID coverup wasn’t the only Chinese communist style operation underway in this country. And of course, this begs the question. Is this happening at Meta and all of its social media companies? Is this happening at Google and its properties? Is this happening at TikTok – oh wait, that’s already directly controlled by the Chinese Communist government...but the question remains about the others. Again, your federal government is THAT corrupt. And that’s why it’s imperative... 
  3. We hold the line. Many Americans grew up with visions of Uncle Sam. The stalwart, affable symbol of our federal government. In the wake of World War II confidence and approval of the federal government soared and government agencies popped up and expanded. Well, Uncle Sam is dead and rolling over in his grave. FDR's New Deal paved the path for the proliferation federal government expansion, and it’s never stopped since. According to the Federal Register there are currently 438 agencies. That’s eight more since I last reported on this in 2018. How many do you think the average elected official can name? Over the years I've somewhat jokingly floated the notion that we can keep any agencies that any member of Congress can name but we should eliminate any that at least one of the 535 elected members of congress can’t name. But anyway, consider this, aside from the absurd waste of our money. What’s the other hand doing within all of these agencies in which no one other than those who work in them likely even know exists? It’s time for less federal government. Period. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is tying a debt ceiling vote to spending cuts. He’s vowing that the only way the House will raise the debt ceiling that continues to accumulate debt, that we must pay back with future taxes, that accounts for the blatant abuses carried out by federal agencies against us – is through actual spending cuts. That’s a start. The key to less government is less money. It’s time we hold the line and yes, a partial government shutdown, if necessary, in perpetuity would be worth it. Just look at what the federal government has already done to us with what we’ve given them. Less federal government is more freedom. Literally and figuratively.
