Bureaucracy is the pillar our government uses to oppress us. Lucky for us it’s made out of glass ...
There is a saying in some parts of the Balkans, “hiqja qimen thiut” which roughly translates to: every hair from the boar. This phrase grew in popularity, especially around the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union and fall of communism in the Eastern Bloc states. What it means is a simple metaphor - the government is the boar and it can be killed by subtly plucking every hair from its fat body.
Less poetically, it’s a guide on how to dismantle the bureaucracy that communist regimes rely on. While I don’t believe America is quite ready for this conversation, readers that frequent sites like American Thinker may not mind, as Nancy Pelosi once eloquently put it, another arrow in their quiver.
Establishment governments, such as we see beginning to dominate in the U.S., are heavily dependent on inefficient bureaucracies. A frequent theme of dystopian novels draw plots around nightmarish red tape establishments like George Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty-Four and Franz Kafka’s The Trial - hell on earth is a non-moving DMV line. So, don’t think the bureaucrats don’t know the power they wield. And don’t think the bureaucrats don’t know it. This leaked Zoom call shows federal workers plotting a coup on Trump’s White House by using the pillars of bureaucracy against him.
While they believe this to be some sort of power, the real advantage that conservatives continue to have over our progressive opponents is that we are truly decentralized. Efforts remain typically localized like Tea Parties during the Obama reign, or lately, this group of 600 business owners in a single city in California that challenged Dictator Newsom’s economy-killing orders by opening their businesses in defiance.

These bureaucrats must live in some level of fear because their neighbors surely know wo they are and what they do.
Sand in the gears.
Exactly.
This why they should simply keep building Keystone and tell the feds to take a hike.
Agreed.
There’s a price for liberty. Who’s willing to pay it?
It’s the same price you have to pay for being a Christian, at the right time and in the right place. Or a G. I. when the country calls.
I believe it is possible for the individual states to allow the construction of the pipe line to their borders, unless on Federal land.
Not if you are in New York or Kalifornia!!!
Thanks!
Disobey and ridicule.
Clogging the system is the best way to go.
Use it against them..
Voting is a prime example..
Write in candidates and force your ballot to be counted by hand...
Apply for any and all government assistance, even if you dont qualify...
I like the suggestions the article presents
“Disobey and ridicule.”
_____
Yes! Start with not wearing masks. Put on sunglasses so they can’t see your eyes, and a big grin on your face like you are king of the world. Strut!
And “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”
—Alinsky
The quote from the Balkans must be Albanian. It definitely is not Modern Greek or from a Slavic language.
