I got this in an email earlier today. Make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Something to think about.

Did anyone besides me wonder how they got all those signs printed and distributed far and wide, including to all the national parks and cemeteries overseas only eight to ten hours after the government shut down? Take a look at this from someone who wanted to remain anonymous.

I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months not days or hours.

In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying-“this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown.

There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies.

This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 months ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.

I hope some reporter looks into that, I've been thinking the same ...

I hear Neil Young walking on the stage now, though -

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Shoulda been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know

Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming
We’re finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio

I worked for the military for almost 40 years, and I know the process for emergency purchase procedures. It takes several weeks to get bids on something like signs for events. Buying something like a tire on the road during a natural disaster takes hours, if not more than a day.

Any purchase over $2500 must have three bids to compete for the lowest bidder with government specifications for each product. All those signs cost well over $2500 and this shutdown was planned well in advance. This administration just keeps messing with its citizens.

According to one report that question was asked, and the SMUG reply WAS “you do”, as if rubbing it in that we are paying for our own repression.

That is a beautiful Picture, Mikey.

From the ages of the Gentleman there, I would say we have vets from WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Iraqi Freedom. Am I right about that?

The answer back should have been, “Glad you know that, because soon you will be fired by US.”
