Political actors and too-big-to-fail business, the unholy alliance. We are living what the framers of the Republic warned about
and Eisenhower so eloquently reminded. It's all too easy to experience government unaccountability at the local level first-hand. Laws can be
manipulated, a gullible public misled, but the most insidious statism occurs in
the administrative domain. I am not surprised that privacy-invading, constitution-breaking depredations at
the Federal level are commensurate with its resources including the power of its private sector financial, communication, sick-care and defense enablers.
Sadly, we are witnessing a macabre war-on-freedom - as the 'developed' world entrenches itself in another incarnation of Fascism, the corrupt collusion of large powerful government and private organizations. This, only a few decades after the enormous
sacrifices of previous generations to ostensibly root Fascism out. The losers, again, are ordinary folk who misplace their trust in government that is not their
friend.
Humans give the lie to Lamarck over and over. Our political
‘learnings’ do not assimilate in DNA. So we must speak out, rise up again. Smokey Bear, where are you when we need you most? "Only YOOOUUUUU can prevent fascism."
