Cover-up

There is very little, if any, trust left for most U.S. federal government bureaucracies.  These agencies are occupied by bureaucrats who hide behind well guarded, locked down facilities that are not open to American citizens or taxpayers.  The media must pander to them to get peripheral access to carefully managed snippets and tidbits of redacted data, reports and information. The congress is afraid of them; the president is unwilling and unable and just not up to managing them; the courts find few if any occasion to either challenge them or force behavior modification.

The bureaucracies have lives of their own; disconnected from the elected representatives who created them and who repeatedly and robotically fund their ever growing budgets and ever expanding personnel rosters.  They have no management accountability – and they know it.  We, the people, report to them.  As does the congress; the president and the supreme court.
Here are a few examples; things you may wish to read; to view; to observe:
·         National Security Agency (NSA).   In a carefully managed PR, propaganda stunt staged with the compliant assistance of a Hollywood media TV news bureau, this agency denies any abuse of the constitutional protection of the people to “…be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
 
·         In our essay published on September 17, 2013,  we asked if you had seen the warrant that lists your name and the cause(s) which authorize the federal government to gather any information about your various “…houses, papers, and effects…”?  We have not seen one with our name on it; yet, the bureaucrat who runs the NSA speaks of his careful respect for the constitution to a nodding, apparently fully agreeing “newsperson”, while his NSA outfit continues to gather all such information and records at will.

·         The CIA, FBI and NTSB.  Over 15 years ago, an American commercial airliner blew up in the sky shortly after takeoff from a New York airport.  The three agencies just named put together a series of documents and presentations attributing this calamity to an internal explosion even though they lacked evidence to support this claim while ignoring substantial evidence to the contrary.  Case closed?  Well, apparently.  At least by them.  A recent documentary entitled “TWA Flight 800” discloses much about their investigation that warrants a complete house cleaning of these agencies (we mean get rid of all top management) but who is kidding whom?  No one investigates the government in the new America.  See below:


 
·         The Obama administration will not manage any of its bureaucracies.  None of them. There are many questions and issues that remain open at this very minute involving IRS; State Department; NLRB; ATF; Department of Justice and Department of HHS.  In all cases there is a deferral to an “internal investigation” with a waiting period that has no terminus – in other words, there is a cover-up by the simple process of doing nothing.  Here are the opening words of the US Constitution:  We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare….  If the US supreme court cannot understand the derivation of powers in this country, they need to be impeached.  Ditto for the president.

·         In Illinois, five months ago, some suburban cops killed a 95 year old resident of a senior living facility by shooting him with high velocity bean bags at close range.  These “protect and serve” fellows are scot free; under investigation by their own kind.  In real life, we call this what it is – a cover up.  There is one very courageous local newspaper columnist who keeps coming back to this slaying of this old man – John Kass at the Chicago Tribune (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/ct-kass-met-1215-20131215,0,674817.column ). Is John getting any government help?  No. Is the State Attorney holding news conferences to demand justice?  No.  The governor?  No.  Some judge, somewhere?  No.  America's Hollywood media?  No.
A key role of federal courts is to enforce the rights of citizens against bureaucrats; not the other way around.  The federal courts have lost their way – and their mission.  Bureaucrats that engage in cover-ups are violating the rights of citizens – if the courts do not smack down the bureaucrats and the elected officials are afraid of the bureaucrats, the government is not of the people – it is neither democratic nor a republic  – it is a bureaucratic tyranny.  Bureaucrats and tyrants thrive and survive on cover-ups.
