Government in Exile

Tail Wagging the Dog

"Peter has some thoughts about pressure groups.

Gallup estimates that 5.6% of the total U.S. adult population is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).

Gallup estimates that 13.6% of the U.S. adult population is black. Of this group, 12% are also LGBT.

These statistics give us some perspective in addressing the political impact of these groups on society at large. LGBT is a very small percentage of our population. Blacks are a larger, but still small percentage. Yet both groups wield more political clout than any other group of our population. Why?

In the recent past, the LGBT group organized to demand equal rights and recognition as a legitimate member of society. That happened rather quickly and there was a push for LGBT to come out of the “closet”. Now we have LGBT in the highest roles of government and industry. They have been accepted generally by society, even in our churches. But that was not enough.

LGBT have been exerting their political clout to force society at large to embrace and endorse their sexual lifestyle. Now we have “drag” shows in public schools and as half-time entertainment at an NBA game, handing out “pride” T-shirts. We have the “pride” flag flying alongside the U.S. flag on our embassies abroad and many federal, state and local buildings at home. Why?

There are blacks in virtually every role of government, industry and entertainment, accepted by society at large. Yet many blacks, encouraged by the political clout of the BLM, have repeatedly rioted in the streets and burned businesses (but not black owned businesses) to protest alleged “institutional racism” and unfair treatment in general. They have demanded “reparations” for the treatment of their ancient ancestors. They inject divisiveness into our schools with “CRT” and “the 1619 project”. Why?

The “in your face” attitude of LGBT and blacks is not justified. Their demands are not justified. Their political clout is not justified. They create divisions in society, which is not healthy for our economy or our governance, yet politicians and leaders in industry cater to them as if they were a majority of the population. Why?

Is it the fear of being called a bigot, or a racist, or a “white supremacist”? That is the political “nuclear weapon” that has struck fear into the hearts our leaders. Some of our churches have been split apart by the LGBT. Some of our businesses have closed because of the BLM.

It is time to restore society to an appropriate balance of racial equality, not “equity”; know the difference. As for LGBT, we should leave our sexual preferences in the bedroom, not our schools or other public areas. It should be private, not “in your face”.

Transparency

"Peter" has some thoughts about transparency.

Joe Biden’s lawyers recently conducted a “more thorough” search of his home and garage in the wake of several “discoveries” of classified documents. The search was “monitored” by DOJ officials who did not participate in the search and who are not cleared to receive classified documents.

 

FBI agents are routinely issued Top Secret security clearances; but no FBI agents were “allowed” on the property. What?!

 

In my thirty-nine years as a criminal investigator for both state and federal agencies I have never seen or heard of an instance where the prosecuting agency deferred to the defense attorneys to conduct a search for evidence or to seize evidence where criminal violations apply; nor have I seen or heard of an instance where the investigators were “not allowed” to be present.

 

This is the transparency Biden promised, the transparency of corruption rising to the top of the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI and the White House.

 

FBI SWAT Teams and Forensic Teams went through Mar-a-Lago with a fine-tooth comb, with very little justification. In Biden’s case, there have been several “discoveries” of classified documents in unsecure locations, including boxes stacked alongside his Corvette in the garage. The same Corvette that Hunter gets to drive.

 

It will be months, maybe years, before the FBI can conclude a National Security damage assessment because of the unknown number and status of people having visited Biden’s home, particularly while he was out of office and had no Secret Service detail assigned to him. Such an assessment was unnecessary in Trump’s case.

 

Add to this transparent corruption the newly discovered information on how Hunter pays “the Big Guy” his share of the millions of dollars received from China and Ukraine. Hunter “rents” one of Joe Biden’s houses for $50,000 per month. Transparent influence peddling.

 

In the FBI motto, Integrity is listed last.  You guys in the trenches must demand that it be moved to the front and put on display. The citizens of this great nation deserve your Fidelity, your Bravery AND your Integrity.

WILLFUL STUPIDITY

"Peter" has some thoughts about electric vehicles.

There is a wave of electric vehicles (EV) building in the U.S. and around the world, which will end in a catastrophe. This wave is being generated by left wing “greenies” who belong to the cult religion of “human” caused Climate Change.

 

It is incomprehensible to me how highly educated executives in vehicle manufacturing companies around the world have bought into the propaganda that has been infiltrating educational institutions and the media for decades, generated by eco-terrorists and hypocrites like Al Gore and John Kerry through their think tanks and foundations.

 

The catastrophe awaiting us is the point where our established grids will no longer be able to charge the millions of EVs that people will become dependent upon. Here in the U.S., we have brown outs and black outs every mid-summer and mid-winter because our grids can’t handle the extra pressure of air conditioners or electric furnaces. How can they possibly handle the millions of EVs plugging in each evening to recharge?

 

Another important aspect of this push to convert to EVs is their batteries. Replacing the batteries in an EV averages $15,000 and they need replacing an average of every two years. Also, what is to be done with the failed batteries? They can’t be just thrown into the trash because they are hazardous waste. Millions of used batteries present a huge problem for federal, state and local governments, which are famously incompetent in handling waste of any kind.

 

Our grids are superior to most other countries’ grids, so what will they do when it all falls down around their heads? Such a world-wide catastrophe could cause famine and war as supply lines fail and store shelves become empty. When people begin to panic, they will rob their neighbors to feed their families. Countries will invade their neighbors to pillage and kill for food and other necessities for their population. Human suffering will be the price of our stupidity.

 

Climate Change will not be on their minds. Survival instincts will over-ride all other considerations. As the catastrophe unfolds, it will become obvious that reverting back to fossil fuels is the way to recovery. The climate change cult will be thrown on to the trash heap of history.
