Proof that the CDC, FDA, and NIH are corrupt and/or incompetent

People connected to big Pharma (New York. New Jersey. Massachusetts) are all making big bucks off of this vaccine nonsense.

But it is a grave mistake to believe the corruption is only in the CDC, the FDC and the NIH. The corruption runs through and through the government, and it has been this way since around the 1820s in Washington DC.

And though it existed before Abraham Lincoln got there, Abraham Lincoln ramped up the corruption into overdrive.

People don't realize that his true legacy is handing power to the corruption/collusion system between big government and big industry. A condition we now know as "fascism."

DiogenesLamp: " it has been this way since around the 1820s in Washington DC.
And though it existed before Abraham Lincoln got there, Abraham Lincoln ramped up the corruption into overdrive."

It's important to remember that one reason Republicans got elected in 1860 was "Democratics" notorious corruption, as the Republican 1860 platform put it:

"6. That the people justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which pervades every department of the Federal Government; that a return to rigid economy and accountability is indispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the public treasury by favored partisans; while the recent startling developments of frauds and corruptions at the Federal metropolis, show that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded."

So the election of 1860 was not only about slavery, but also about "Democratics" "measureless subserviency" to globalized big business interests -- i.e., cotton, tobacco, sugar, etc. During the 1850s Democratic administrations reduced tariffs to their lowest rates since the War of 1812 and doubled the national debt.
Republicans promised to correct that, and voters liked what they heard.

Now, claims that historically Republicans were, on the whole, either more or less corrupt than Democrats are simply not supported by any metric I know of, except one: the Democrat news media typically complains loudly about alleged Republican corruption, while remaining silent about often much worse Democratic corruption.

And since DiogenesLamp is, at heart, a true Democrat he believes all the bad said about Republicans, while discounting anything bad reported on his own "Democratics."

Liberals always say they are for the greater good and the common folk, but they lie. As soon as Lincoln's team got into power, they started exploiting the system to enrich themselves.

Dupont made all their gunpowder by the way. I just learned that the other day.

Diogenes seems like he’s read too much Gore Vidal, but Vidal was cynical about American politics all the way back to the beginning and cynical about everything else too, not just Lincoln.

[DiogenesLamp]

Cynicism is the appropriate response to virtually anything the Government tells you, and this is likely true going back to the start.

Remember, the Articles of Confederation were supposed to be the governing charter, and then they decide to hold another convention in secret that even broke the rules of the Articles of Confederation.

And of course Diogenes was the father of Cynicism.

Vidal said something like that, too.

But a thoroughgoing cynicism about everything is another social disease that in the end prevents people from doing anything about corruption. If everybody was always in it for themselves, then you can't blame anybody for being in it for themselves now. Society may present its founders in a glowing light, but that's because it gives us something to aspire to and to live up to now. Without that, we'd be worse, not better.

“Republicans promised to correct that, and voters liked what they heard.”

Well, 39 percent anyway.

[BroJoeK]

"Well, 39 percent anyway."

I'd say 40% of the popular vote, Douglas got 30%, Breckenridge 18%.

Lincoln won 55% of the 33 states and 59% of 303 electoral votes.

So, constitutionally speaking, the 1860 election wasn't even close.

[DiogenesLamp]

But a thoroughgoing cynicism about everything is another social disease that in the end prevents people from doing anything about corruption.

Being cynical does not mean you are unwilling to take action. I think Jefferson had exactly the right idea.

“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.” ― Thomas Jefferson

The problem is, Judicial activism has allowed people to misrepresent the meaning of written words, and it is the corrupt usage of loopholes such as this that are causing much of our modern troubles.

Abolishing slavery in Massachusetts is an admirable goal, but lying about the intent of legislatures is an avenue for tyranny.

The proper way to change laws is to change them through the accepted practice, not to get a judge or a jury to pretend they mean something very different from what was intended when those words were written.

[DiogenesLamp]

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Watch out Dim, you might smash your thumb.

I am reminded of people pointing out that in 2016, all the Democrats/Liberals believed the election had been stolen from Hitlery through Russian influence, or Ukrainian influence or some other diabolical method.

But for 2020, we have this exact same group of people denying any sort of corruption or election rigging could have occurred in 2020 and that it was the most honest and fair election this nation has ever had.

And in a like manner, I have been pinging you and others to stories showing examples of government/industry collusion/corruption and examples of other freepers believing there is a shadow government "deep state" running things behind the scenes.

Now I assume you are all willing to believe that such private/public collusion occurs on other issues, but the one thing you will not accept is that any taint of corruption was involved in the US side of the Civil War.

Everything else may be corrupt, but this era of 1860-1865 was absolutely saintly and without blemish.

In this manner do you resemble liberals who refuse to see anything wrong with the election rigging of 2020.

I think my point here is that when you keep seeing a lot of nails, the proper tool to use is a hammer.

[DiogenesLamp]

It would have been Seward but for the corrupt primary rigging Lincoln and his corporate railroad cohorts engaged in.

When you start to look at Lincoln from the perspective of corruption, a lot of information starts to jump out at you.

Railway act of 1862? Big government project benefiting connected industry?

And who were the "Graingers"? Why did they need to be formed?
