It has been pretty well documented that major
man-made disasters very seldom have a single cause. There are always ignored
problems first before the third or fourth cause precipitates the disaster. Car,
train, airplane and ship disasters follow this pattern.
The final cause of the Air France crash several
years ago over the Atlantic at night, appeared to result from the loss of
airspeed information from the airplane's two pitot tubes that had iced over,
causing the pilots to make wrong decisions in trying to stabilize the flight. It
was too late by the time the pilots recognized the problem. But there were other
ignored smaller events that led up to the pitot tubes icing over.
The El Faro cargo ship that just sank off the
Bahamas with the loss of all hands was probably caused by one major factor and
that was the captain's decision to sail his aging ship into Hurricane Joaquin.
The ship might have survived the Hurricane if it had not lost power. Once the
ship lost power a whole cascade of problems erupted, beyond the ships crew to
manage. As the problems grew, it's immediate future was preordained. The ship
would break up in heavy seas and sink. When all the evidence is collected and
sifted through, it won't change the fact that the ultimate responsibility for
the ship sinking was the Captain's.
A nation is a ship in many ways, sailing in stormy
seas most of the time. The storms that a nation must constantly endure can
result from either internal or external forces. If the nation loses direction,
purpose and resolve, if it dissolves the foundations upon which it was formed,
if the president (captain) is afraid to use its guns in defense of the nation,
or stops the fuel flowing to the engines of growth, or punishes or divides the
crew to the point of mutiny and chaos, the nation (ship) will come to an
untimely end and its people will suffer the consequences of either slavery,
starvation, or death. Mistakes or bad judgment by leaders have been known to
cause great harm to the general population. Without strong leadership and an
honorable, capable crew that has confidence in the captain and the captain's
leadership, the nation can and probably will die unless new strong leadership
and a seasoned crew take the helm, provided of course that the people even
care.
The good ship USS America is in dire straits.
There is little leadership, the engines are working at half power ready to shut
down completely and the "crew" is so badly divided and has so little confidence
in the captain that division, conflict and violence, or even mutiny
(revolution) is a real possibility.
So, ladies and gentlemen, "Who the Devil is
Running This Damn Country Anyway?"
Who is running the country when the borders are
wide open, illegal immigrants are pouring into America by the millions every
year and the cultures they are bringing to America are in stark contrast to the
concepts of a free society in a Constitutional Republic? They are a massive
financial drain on productive Americans. Illegal alien criminals and gangs roam
free to shoot and maim innocent Americans after being deported multiple times
and they have no intentions of assimilating into American culture, no matter
where they are from, be it Mexico, Central or South America, the Middle East,
Africa, India, China, or anywhere else. They just want to take advantage of
government benefits.
Who is running the country when school officials
in Jackson Hole, Wyoming cancel "America Day" because it might offend
non-Americans?
Who is running the country when school officials
tell students that they can't wear or fly the American flag because once again,
it might offend non-Americans? But it was OK for the Mexicans to fly the Mexican
flag.
Who is running the country when a college can put
up a list of words NOT TO SAY, because those words might offend non-Americans?
One of those words NOT TO SAY was "American!"
Who is running the country when the streets of our
big cities are sanctuaries for illegal aliens, gangs, drugs, crime and murders
that happen almost every day?
Who is running the country when our public schools
and colleges offer only one view, one ideology and one perspective for the
nation and the world, where that one view, ideology and perspective is the
antithesis of the principles of individual freedom and unalienable rights, the
foundation of our once-free nation?
Who is running the country when the government can
shove nationalized health care down the throats of Americans and then openly
lies about the benefits and the cost?
Who is running the country when the U. S. Supreme
Court can overturn 5,000 years of culture, not to mention the natural order, by
dictating that marriage can be between people of the same sex and by so doing,
legalize the very definition of sodomy?
Who is running the country when we allow the
radical cult known as environmentalism, to override and supersede every known
property right, as guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution and add huge costs to
virtually every product Americans purchase, including homes, gasoline and
food?
Who is running the country when federal agencies
like the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, Department of
Education and Health and Human Services, in addition to local and state
bureaucracies that act independent of congressional oversight, while flagrantly
violating the U. S. Constitution?
Who is running the country when so much money is
being paid to citizens to buy them off for their votes such that there is not
enough money for the maintenance and replacement of vitally needed roads,
bridges and other infrastructure and our military readiness is dangerously
degraded?
Who is running the country when the government
allows a tax collection agency to run rough shod over the people, inventing the
law as they go along and purposely targeting those individuals and groups that
don't toe the liberal line? Why hasn't someone at the IRS gone to
jail?
Who is running the country when a group of seven
private individuals at the Federal Reserve, answerable to no one, have so much
power that they can send America reeling into bankruptcy, or shoved into
hyperinflation, simply by adding our subtracting money to or from the banking
system? That is way too much power for seven people to have in any
country.
Who is running the country when the President of
the United States trades five vicious Taliban's for a deserter and negotiates a
hopelessly flawed deal with a known terrorist regime, that proudly boast their
desire to wipe Israel off the map and kill every American they can
find?
Who is running the country when we allow a Russian
KGB thug to rub America's nose in IT and allow that thug to violate
international law by invading a sovereign country, while the President does
nothing?
Whose running the country when the President of
the United States withdraws troops from the battlefield upon which thousands of
our brave men and women died or were permanently maimed, in an unstable Middle
Eastern country and in an unstable Middle Eastern Region, when the President's
advisors told him it would lead to a huge vacuum for radical Islam to rise up?
He did it anyway!
Who is running the country when an avowed
socialist and an outright crook and a pathological liar are running for
president of the United States and getting a huge section of the electorate to
vote for them?
And finally, who is running the country when the
people allow their elected representatives to lie through their teeth about
every aspect of government. They lie about where our money is being spent. They
lie about national security. They lie about health care. They lie about our
foreign policy. They lie about the military. They lie about alleged man-caused
global warming. They lie about illegal immigration. They lie about proposed
legislation and what it will and won't do. They lie about trade and other
international agreements. Lying and propaganda are a way of life for
politicians. Sure, there are good people in government, but they are the
exception.
But what is even worse is why the American people
put up with the ideologically driven, corrupt and inept idiots WHO ARE RUNNING
THIS COUNTRY and what could be the irreparable damage they have already done to
it!
This is America's reality. ISIS is still on
the move. Refugees are still streaming into Europe and will rub out the
culture of Europe forever. Putin is re-establishing the old Soviet Union,
taking over the Ukraine and rubbing our noses in it in Syria. Obama is
still president and is doing nothing. Illegal aliens are still pouring
into America and getting "free" stuff. The VA is still a mess and Obama
Care is a money-sucking, unconstitutional travesty. Gay marriage is now
the law of the land. The EPA is taking over all the waters of
America. The UN's Agenda 21 is fully integrated into American law without
a treaty ever being ratified. World governments will spend trillions of
the people's money fighting non-existent man-caused global warming. Our
public schools have become government indoctrination centers. Entitlement
spending is out of control and will eventually bankrupt the Nation, if it hasn't
already.
The U. S. Congress is impotent and corrupt.
Planned Parenthood is going to get its money (from us). America is essentially
broke and is going to spend more and the big-spender Democrats are still in
control, even though the Republicans now control the Congress. China is
taking over the South China Sea, building a huge Navy, and still hacking our
companies, our government and our military. North Korea has a nuke and
long range missiles and Iran is well on its way to getting both, in spite
of Obama's hopelessly flawed "deal." Iran is still a major sponsor of
terrorism around the planet and is about to get billions more to fund that
terrorism.
The Republican Party doesn't have any power to
change anything and the line up of Republican presidential candidates is pretty
lack luster. And a bunch of Americans think Trump is going to make it all
better, which is a naïve' illusion.
What could suddenly erupt on the scene that would
change any of this? The fact is, America is a ship with an incompetent,
narcissistic captain, a plane with an in-experienced, delusional pilot, a train
with a sleeping engineer with his hand on the throttle set at fast forward and
where most of the passengers don't give a damn about anything but their own
entertainment and self-gratification, while expecting everyone else to pay for
it.
A nation's survival is directly dependent on the
capability of the Captain (president) who leads it, the crew that assists the
captain and the people who either support or resist what the captain and the
crew are doing. If the people look the other away, the Captain and the crew will
do whatever is in THEIR best interests. Only the people can hold the Captain and
the crew accountable to the PEOPLE'S best interests. For at least the last 100
years the people have not been holding their Captain and crew accountable in any
meaningful way. If this condition continues, the Captain and the crew will
continue to do whatever they damn well please in their own best interests, to
the detriment of the people's interests. That is precisely how dictatorships are
born because the people don't care "Who the Devil is Running the Damn
Country Anyway!" Americans have killed America, not
the Captains or the crews. It's up to Americans to restore her ….. that is if
they care.
For the last 10 years, in spite of the
insurmountable odds, we (NARLO) are one of the groups
that are trying to change "Who the Devil is Running This Damn
Country." See our "18 Basic Principles For
America", or our
"Agenda21" page, or
