The average SES’er is not an enemy he/she maybe a fool but not an enemy. They send their kids to school, even go to church, worry about the same day-to-day things you do, you would like them (My neighbors if you met them!). They’re not evil, they’re not Satan worshippers, they’re just people trying to make it through life. (The demonization of people we politically disagree with and don’t even know is getting very tiresome on this site!) Their sole failing is their myopia regarding the rest of the country. I think the reason for that is because so many of them in my neighborhood are second, third, maybe even fourth generation USG employees. Many particularly the women have very few professional life experiences outside of NOVA & Maryland. One positive note at least 1/3 (maybe 40%) have at least some military background so those have traveled more. Please note I have met a lot of big government military types, I work off and on with one guy who is a retired Navy officer who is an out and out socialist! (Got the card and everything!) He’s not evil, he’s not a Satanist he does say foolish things which I point out all the time. Even before he gets his BS socialist explanation out I tell him what he is going to say. He gets mad but we still speak and are sort of friends. He’s even a deacon (or something like that!) in his church.
Ok why am I saying all of this, because they’re just people like your neighbors. They’re not intellectual, they have no particular philosophy, they’re not meeting around the soft drink machine conspiring to establish a communist state. This “knowing” you claim they know. They don’t!
They’re just bureaucratic wasteful dead weight and that’s bad enough to the body politic! No need to dress them up in Beelzebub’s undergarments!
It seems though that they’re at the perfect level of government to weaponize and exploit. Maybe not all or most, but enough, in key areas.
If Obama used this layer of government to weaponize, he could continue his influence years after leaving office.
Like I said before, and like we’ve known for a long time on this site: there are those who pull the strings and then there are the useful idiots.
If you take a little time to speak to some of the bureaucrats in the various agencies, you’ll come to understand that many of them have been swindled into believing the anti-American rhetoric of the past half century.
They look the other way while still supporting the puppet masters who commit the crimes and genocides.
