And they dare to call conservatives fascists.
Totalitarianism has many tentacles, DEI and ESG being two more of them.
But what on Earth can be done about it?
When the big-business, big-labor, big-government, big-healthcare, and the military-industrial complex controls every facet of life, trust-busting isn't exactly an option.
So Kennedy just discovered this?
His family pushed it for half a century
Progressive leftists employ alinsky tactics in virtually EVERYTHING they do, think and say. If you haven’t already or even if you had in the past...read “rules for radicals” to truly understand what normal thinking people are up against. These enemies are more than just radicals...they are ideologues bent on YOUR destruction in every aspect and will sacrifice their own selves to accomplish the goal. Knowing ones enemies and how they think is the only way to anticipate their moves before they make them. Most conservatives think if you ignore the radical people and just go about living life that eventually they go away. Keep in mind friends...dodo birds are extinct for a reason. Just fyi.
“Regulatory capture” is a term created by would-be fascists who felt stymied because regulatory agencies have not (until now) acted with impunity. The truth is, historically, regulators were and are politically connected administrators, nothing more, with no particular knowledge or understanding of whatever industry or activity they intended to regulate. Industries basically have to tell regulators how to regulate them, and that’s how it should be it you want a functioning economy, and the alternative is a royal cluster-F if a woefully ignorant regulator avoids “capture” and decides to do whatever they want, which is where we are headed.

Italian Fascism was born out of Italian socialism, allied to National Socialism which the Nazi leadership many times said was "Aryan socialism" to contrast the power it sought from Marx, which it called "Jewish," and both the Nazis and Italian Fascists worked, as the last century's Soviet and Sino Communists as officially anti-capitalists.
Today's Democrat Party shelters anti-capitalists and it shelters the Democrat Socialists of America, and speaks so often in Marxist lingo and the postmodern claptrap which followed in the history of the Left.
This is why today legacy media screams "right wing" in order to confuse the public. If the contest was between big, coercive government and small, restrained government, the differences would be crystal clear. This is why the American Left -- today's Soviet -- hollers "right wing." They have precious little more to say and their inner city "leadership" is showing them fools, grifters and outright criminals. As the "rubes" awaken to this reality, their power will fail, or become outright dictatorial. Time will tell.
They still are.
Check out how the Kennedys are involved with ESCOs. And what allows that to make money for them.
Power is in government. Knowledge is in industry. Let’s make a deal. It’s a win-win for the participants. Consumers and small business lose out.
De-regulate.
Thanks.
I didn’t find out a lot about the Kennedy’s but I did not know what an ESCO was. Explains a lot about things going on where I am and why the local CommieCrats push it.
The DOJ and the FBI regulate the criminal class. Regulatory capture applies to them too.
So it would seem.
Good post.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
I've unilaterally “amended” the first numbered clause in the Constitution to reflect information from the OP concerning unconstitutionally big federal government.
"Article I, Section 1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives [and non-popularly-elected bureaucrats running Federal Reserve, IRS, EPA, BLM, FDA, NIH, CDC, etc.]."
Consider that the crook lawmakers that misguided voters unthinkingly elect to DC long ago discovered the following. Lawmakers could avoid taking responsibility not only for the constitutionally limited federal government powers that voters trusted them with, but they could also get way with stealing the vast powers of the sovereign states, abusing those powers by using them to dictate oppressive federal domestic policy in the following way.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Crook federal lawmakers learned that they could protect themselves from the wrath of the voters by establishing constitutionally undefined, so-called federal regulatory agencies run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats, such agencies undoubtedly helping to foster the emergence of career lawmakers.
Sadly, when non-elected federal bureaucrats order citizens to “jump,” post-17th Amendment ratification, constitutionally low-information citizens reply with "how high?"
The bottom line is this. Constitutionally undefined, so-called "federal regulatory agencies" wrongly weaken the constitutionally enumerated voting power of qualified citizen voters.
Patriots need to be prepared for 2024 primaries.
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help you” 🤪
It’s a disturbing look at what is happening in our once free, but increasingly authoritarian, nation. If you’re as concerned about this trend as am I, please take 30 or so minutes and watch this message.
