Uh… Que Paso?

“Building a wall between Mexico and the United States is a terrible idea. It is an idea based on ignorance and has no foundation in the reality of North American integration.” – Mexican Finance Minister Luis Videgaray

Regardless of how you feel about Trump, the Wall, Mexico Paying for a Wall, The U.S. Paying for a Wall, Your Aunt Betty Paying for the Wall, etc. etc. There is something extremely interesting about what the current Mexican Socialist Finance Minister has to say here.

Please re-read the words “…the reality of North American integration.”

Really?

I thought that idea was strictly the territory of flag waving, tin foil hat wearing, gun clinging conspiracy theorists.

Apparently I need to add Mexico’s Finance Minister to that list.

Allow me to ask a simple question,

Do you think the Mexican Government would feel the same way, as they seem to feel now, if millions of Americans were flooding into Mexico taking advantage of their social services, such as Welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, Subsidized Housing, Schools, Universities, anon, while simultaneously demanding Free-Market Capitalism, a complete re-write of their Constitution defining Inalienable Rights in order to elevate the Individual above the Government, the Right to Vote (even though they do it anyway, they just want to make it official) and Immunity from all or any Immigration laws… all the while, vowing to Never Leave?

We’ve talked in the past about Socialist Countries living on the teat of American Capitalism, with Canada and Mexico being two of the worst offenders.  Both Countries would find it difficult if we didn’t prop them up through accepting their workers, buying their resources, providing favorable trade policies and often direct grants to their countries.

This topic rarely get’s even a mention from our studious media watchdogs… as it should.

Well, in my opinion, it’s time to stop feeding the bears… or Gila Monsters in this specific case.

It’s time to cut off direct subsidies to those who overtly wish to destroy the Greatest Experiment in Self Rule the World has ever known.  It’s time to stop allowing Socialism to survive it’s own oppressive, destructive and deadly nature.  It’s time for a Revolution of Enlightenment Thinking to take place in Mexico.

Viva La Age of Reason!

Sadly however, we no longer know what that means here in the U.S.  So one might ask “How do we promote such a Revolution in Thought on our borders?” The answer is we don’t. Until we get our own affairs in order, there will be no helping those most in need of it.

The Minister’s comments serve to highlight to conflict of visions… and they are also an accurate assessment of what is happening right before our eyes.  Mexico is not becoming a country Governed by Enlightenment Philosophy… it is the United States which is becoming a Socialized Democracy of the likes Marx,  envisioned, save the ridiculous Utopian tripe.

Unfortunately, due to our intellectual apathy and determined disregard for what is the value of American Exceptionalism, we may have already lost the battle to free the world, but more importantly save ourselves.

A Stupiracy

My last post on The Zombies has prompted a thought.

I have a strong belief in Conspiracy… just not in the volume shared by many of my fellow Tin Foil aficionados.  The primary reason for this is it takes huge numbers of people (AKA Humans) to pull off the kinds of conspiracies which would hold most of our interest.  And, Humans can’t keep their mouths shut.  So I do not believe most of the popular conspiracies hold water, so to speak.

Do Conspiracies exist?  Absolutely.

One of my favorites is as old as time itself.

The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing you he doesn’t exist.

This occurs in everyday life for all to see… with the help of the Mainstream Media.

The Liberal Progressive Left in this country has convinced you they are not Socialists/Marxists… because they say so.

This is brazen lie.  Period.

Once you take the time to learn what a Socialist is you see clearly what the Left is.  But the goal of the Liberals is to keep you from making the effort to do so.

Diner Customer:  Are you peeing in my coffee!?!

Waiter:  Absolutely not!  How Dare You Accuse me of such a thing!

Diner Customer:  But you’re doing it right here at the table, in front of me, right now!

Waiter:  No I’m Not!  I would Never urinate in your coffee Sir!

Diner Customer:  I’m WATCHING YOU DO IT!

Waiter: Well Who are you going to believe?  ME or your damned lying eyes?

Diner Customer:  Oh.. well good point.  Sorry about that.

Waiter:  No problem.  Enjoy your breakfast.  Let me know if you’d like some more coffee.

Diner Customer:  Thank You!  I appreciate it!  See you tomorrow.

And so goes the relationship between the Left and the Useful Idiots that support them.  The rest of us try very hard not to go to that Diner… (Except the owners keep buying up and closing down all the other ones.)

So yes, conspiracies exist.  But they exist only because we allow them to.  Far too many of us refuse to acknowledge what’s being done to us right out in the open. (#Leanforward)

But an even bigger problem exists.  A problem that permeates society.  A problem the Elitist Left doesn’t want to admit exists because it undermines the lofty, enlightened, view they hold of themselves.

It’s The Law of Unintended Consequences.

Most often we see this Law illustrated following a Stupiracy.

A Stupiracy is a loosely associated hoard of Stupidiots practicing profound Stupidiocy in a concert only non-participants can see.

The Zombies, worst case scenario, would be a perfect example.  Computer makers building back doors into Computers ‘just in case’ is a perfect example (thanks IB).  Obama Care in its entirety is THE perfect example.  The list could go on.  But in the end it requires disparate individuals exercising Stupidiocy sans Conspiracy that in the end generates the greatest number of stupified Faces.  While there might have been a small, but loud, contingency of us screaming to stop… look… and listen… they dismiss us by projecting their ignorance in our direction.

Then, when things get weird, terrible even, they act as if they are shocked and surprised.  The Stupidiots then attempt to cast the blame on us.  Why do they do this?  They do this to make sure no one listens to us next time we identify a Stupiracy and scream about it.

Stupiracy

(noun) A confluence of errors, oversights, poor judgments, and/or lacks of foresight by unrelated parties that is so maddeningly frustrating you’d swear there was a larger plan or higher power at work that was designed against you.

related:

Stupidiocy

1. adj.; So stupid that the word stupid is too much of an understatement to be used to describe something.

2. noun; An idea, plan, action, etc. that is stupid enough that stupidiocy is the easiest way to describe it.

1. The stupidiocy of some of the people who won a Darwin Award defies belief.

2. The idea that it’s okay to stick spoons or knives into a toaster because the only warning label pictures and mentions a fork is pure stupidiocy.

Stupidiot

(adj.) 1. Used to describe Individuals resembling John F. Kerry

2. Used to describe Those who consider themselves smarter than everyone else in the room.

In the End…

The Smartest People in the Room are most often the Stupidest, and they dream of the day we recognize their brilliance then concede all control to them, forever.

We are in the process of making Dreams come True.

It’s Long and Hard…

…to Understand.

I am not a Conspiracy Theorist.  At least not the kind involving dark smoke-filled rooms, with big round tables, and a collection of old robed rich guys with heavy accents sitting around plotting the control of the World.

I believe this movie fodder is ridiculous for a couple of reasons.

First… it requires secrets, and a number of people keeping them.  The simple fact is every time you tell someone your secret it becomes exponentially less likely to remain so.

Second… The old robed rich guys with the heavy accents don’t need the dark rooms.  Secret Cabals just have no reason to exist.  They’ll do whatever they’re going to do right out in the street, in front of God and everybody.

The folks who rise to power have realized through experience that doing things to people who are not interested in having things done to them only requires complexity.  It requires many levels of separation between the person in charge and those who do the doing.  The only other factor needed is a shared ideology to mold the actions of all involved.  That’s it.  (It also helps to control the branch in charge of enforcing the law… but I digress.)

The reason this works is due to the short attention span of the public… and sadly, a Press with an equality short attention span seasoned with a lack of interest.

Let me demonstrate with one of the most fundamental issues that no one will touch… ever…

“Why are Unions interested in raising the Minimum Wage when no Union Member is subject to it?  And why do they expressly send out otherwise unemployable, dirty, non-union, hippies to get me to sign petitions to raise it?”

– Well, the Unions have a base wage which is negotiated in their contracts.  It is the least amount of money their members will work for and is correlated directly to the Minimum Wage through a formula… BLAH, Blah, blah, bla…

See?  I lost your attention.

It doesn’t take too many layers of separation, or complexity, to lose the interest of the typical voter.

This current crop of scandals is demonstrating this for all to see.

These are not conspiracies in the movie sense… but they are certainly conspiracies of the dictionary definition.

But beyond the legality or illegality found in these actions by government, it illustrates a behavior.  It shows us how it’s done.

And, once we understand how it’s done it leads us to a question this Administration really does not want asked.

First, however, let me ask you a question.  Isn’t there an aspect of the IRS scandal that is rattling around in the back of your head unresolved?  An inkling of something being not quite right?  Haven’t you asked yourself why ONLY 60% of Americans believe it to be a huge problem when Government uses it’s power to oppress segments of the population it disagrees with?  Do you wonder why 100% of us don’t see the danger when government changes hands on a regular basis?

It’s that last question I want you to focus on.

If you, like most of us, believe Government is transitory and the benefit of that is transparency albeit delayed at times, you’d only be half right.  And, a number of educated Socialists know this.

It is true, that within specified times, we get to voice our opinion of our representatives and attempt to fire them… but this dynamic does not apply to the bureaucrats.  It does not apply to the government employees… just like the ones who work at the IRS.  (It goes for every Department, but let’s stay focused.)

I am willing to bet that right now, as I pound this out, a primary topic of discussion at the White House is one Lois Lerner.

Why?  Because if someone doesn’t take the fall for the malfeasance at the IRS soon, in order to take the focus away from the scandal, Lois Lerner will become a topic of much discussion in regard to how she can refuse to leave/step down/retire/get lost in the woods/fall off a cannon in Fort Marcy Park.  Which then leads one to the question, “Who’s in charge?” and “Why can’t these people be fired?”.  Once you go there, you enter the world of Unions and Unelected Officials.

Finally, the epiphany occurs when you realize that the bureaucrats/government workers, the “Doers”, NEVER change.  And, if they are all of a specific political persuasion, or subscribe to a single governing ideology… then government is not transitory.  In this case, the bureaucrats/government workers, the “Doers” are Liberal Progressives… and they know they run things no matter who is in office.

This is an “Uh-Oh” moment.  A moment this Liberal Administration does not want occurring on its watch.  Better that this point arise during a Conservative Administration so it can be dismissed as… say it with me… a “Conspiracy Theory”.  Well Done!

I have touched on this previously, and more concisely, in Very Open and Very Public!

To reiterate, we already have term limits for politicians which are called elections.  What we really need is Term Limits for the Bureaucrats/Government Workers.

But alas, without the Press doing their job, to get people to understand this may be Long and Hard.  And, when we are faced with that, we most often get screwed.
