"Whether the mask is marked as fascism, democracy or dictatorship of the proletariat, our large opponent remains the apparatus – bureaucracy, police, military".
- Simone Weil, French philosopher
It's hard to tell if we're dealing with kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves), cakstocracy (a government led by unruled politicians, corporations and thieves who flatters the worst of our nature and has no respect for the rights of American citizens), or also idiocracy Your babysitters.
Regardless of the label, this bossy despotism is what happens erstwhile government representatives (those elected and appointed to work for us) adopt the authoritarian concept that the government knows best and so must control, regulate and dictate almost everything about public, private and professional life of citizens.
Government's bureaucratic attempts to boost muscles through excessive regulation and excessive criminalisation, they reached specified scandalous limits that national and state governments now require, under fines, that people apply for approval before they can grow exotic orchids, organize elaborate receptions, gather friends at home for Bible studies, give coffee to homeless people. Let their children manage the lemonade stand, keep the chickens as pets, or braid someone, nevertheless absurd it may seem.
As explained by the Transparency task regulators: "There are over 70 national regulatory agencies employing hundreds of thousands of people to compose and implement regulations. Every year they issue about 3,500 fresh regulations, and the regulatory code now has more than 168,000 pages.
On his Twitter channel CrimeADay Mike pursuit points out any of the more mysterious and ridiculous laws that make us all guilty of violating this or any another law.
As pursuit notes, the effort to make unjustified sound erstwhile a horse passes into a national park is illegal; to leave Michigan with the turkey on which the drone was hunted; to fill a bottle with alcohol another than the 1 in it at the time of the first filling; to offer to buy swan feathers so that you can make a female hat out of them; to study a model to a national stamp competition with a duck if waterfowl is not the dominant feature of the formula; to transport a cougar-free puma; to sale spray deodorant without telling people to avoid spraying it in the eyes; and to transport "baked" unless it is in the form of a loaf.
Boston lawyer Harvey Silvergate estimates that the average American presently commits 3 crimes unconsciously daily, thanks to an excess of vague regulations that make innocent activity illegal, and the propensity of prosecutors to reject the thought that there can be no crime without criminal intent.
The bigger the government gets, the worse the bureaucracy gets.
While 70 years ago, 1 in 20 jobs in the US required a state license, present almost 1 out of 4 American professions require license.
According to a business analyst named Kaylyn McKenna, over 41 states require that visualists hold a license. Twenty-eight states require a licence before you can work as a residential painter. Burial workers, whose duties include placing coffins in visiting rooms, arranging flowers and directing mourners, must have a licence to do so in Kansas, Maine and Massachusetts.
The problem of overregulation has become so serious that, as 1 analyst notes, "the acquisition of a hair-fixing licence in Washington DC requires more instructional time than becoming a medical rescue technician Or a fireman."
This is what happens erstwhile bureaucrats rule, and the regulation of law becomes nothing more than an animal driver who forces citizens to march side by side with the government.
How warns Political analyst Michael Van Beek, the problem with excessive criminalization is that there are so many laws at federal, state and local level – that we are incapable to know them all.
Example: in fresh Jersey, in what writer Billy Binion describes as "another example the effects of excessive criminalisation, which increases interactions between civilians and police with small benefit for real public security", police went so far that they arrested a teenager and confiscated the bikes of another teenager for alleged traffic misconduct and not registering their bikes in the state.
That explains why A fisherman can be sentenced to 20 years in prison For throwing besides small fish in the water. Or why police arrested a 90-year-old man for breaking regulations that prohibit the feeding of homeless people in public places, Unless there are besides portable toilets available. Or like states across the country, in a failed effort to disperse homeless populations, consider sitting, sleeping or resting in public places a crime; sharing food with people; and camping in public places.
Like Florida. eating the frog that was utilized in the frog jumping contestIt's against the law. You can besides spend time in a slammer in Florida for specified pointless activities as singing in a public place in a bathing suit, breaking more than 3 dishes a day, farting in public after 6:00 p.m. on Thursday and skateboarding without a license.
"Such laws," observes writer George Will, "which enable government fanatics to accuse almost everyone of committing 3 crimes in 1 day, not only let government misconduct, but besides incite prosecutors to intimidate decent people who have never had criminal intentions. And punish without crime."
Unfortunately, the consequences are besides serious for those whose lives become water on the mill of a police state.
Thus America ceased to be a beacon of freedom and became a closed nation.
Today we are working under the weight of countless tyrannys, large and small, carried out in the alleged national good name by an elite class of government and corporate officials who are mostly isolated from the bad effects of their actions.
We are increasingly harassed, intimidated and intimidated, forced to bear the burden of their arrogance, pay the price of their greed, endure from their militarism, torment ourselves as a consequence of their inaction, pretend ignorance about their behind-the-clock interests, overlook their incompetence, turn their eyes on their transgressions, crutch themselves before their brutal tactics, and blind hope for a change that never comes.
The clear signs of despotism exercised by an increasingly authoritarian regime, which claims to be the United States government (and its corporate partners in crime) are all around us: censorship, criminalization, shadow banning and de-platforming of individuals who express ideas politically incorrect or unpopular; unwarranted surveillance of American movements and communications; SWAT raids on American homes; police firing on unarmed citizens; harsh penalties imposed on students in the name of zero tolerance; blocking across the community and wellness orders that deprive Americans of freedom of movement and physical integrity; armed drones ascending into the sky in the country; endless wars; uncontrolled spending; militarized police; search lanes; privatized prisons with an incentive to gain American prison; atomic fusion centers that spy, collect and distribute data on private American transactions; and militarized agencies with ammunition supplies to name only any of the most horrifying.
In exchange for the promise of ending global pandemics, lower taxes, lower crime rates, safe streets, safe schools, pest-free neighborhoods and easy accessible technology, wellness care, water, food and energy, we have opened the door for blockades, militarized police, government oversight, asset confiscation, zero tolerance policy in schools, plate readers, red light cameras, SWAT raids, wellness care mandates, excessive criminalization, excessive regulation and corruption in the government.
We hoped that the government would aid us to decision safely in national crisis situations (terrorism, natural disasters, global pandemics, etc.) only to be forced to quit our freedoms on the national safety altar, and yet we are not safer (or healthier) than before.
We wanted criminals removed from the streets and we didn't want to pay for their imprisonment. What we have is simply a nation that boasts the highest rate of imprisonment in the world, with many serving sentences for comparatively insignificant non-violent crime, and the private prison manufacture drives the pursuit of more prisoners.
We wanted law enforcement to have the essential resources to wage wars against terrorism, crime and drugs. Instead, we got militarised police equipped with M-16 rifles, grenade launchers, silencers, combat tanks and empty end missiles – equipment designed for the battlefield, over 80,000 SWAT raids carried out each year (many of them for regular police tasks resulting in the failure of life and property) and profit-making programmes that increase the generosity of the government, specified as asset confiscation. where police confiscate property of "suspected criminals".
We fell for the government's promise of safer roads, only to get active profit-oriented cameras with red light, which in the name of road safety impose fines on unsuspecting drivers, while allegedly fattening money from local and state authorities.
This is what happens erstwhile the American people are deceived, deceived, deceived, lied, cheated and cheated to believe that the government and its army of bureaucrats – people whom We've determined to defend our freedoms – they truly have our best interests in mind.
As I explained in my book "Battlefield America: The War on the American People" (Poland Battles America: War on the American Nation)) and in its fictional counterpart "Erik Blair's Journals"The problem with these devilish arrangements is that there's always a catch, there's always any price to pay for what we value so advanced that we exchange our most precious things.
