The U.S. government is now effectively a criminal organization
American Thinker ^ | 10/12/2024 | Eric Utter

Posted on 10/12/2024 7:25:08 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

I saw a ‘tweet’ recently suggesting that the government of the United States has become a ‘criminal organization.’ (I don’t remember precisely when or from whom the ‘tweet’ was issued.)

I know that statement is hard to swallow, unpleasant as a root canal. And hard to fathom for those who grew up in the Great Depression and lived through World War II, Camelot, and the Reagan Revolution.

It is, however, nonetheless true. Government as mafia.

Turns out, Uncle Sam is a capo, head of an unimaginably vast criminal racket.

Criminal racket definition: an act of organized crime where one or multiple people or entities attempt to earn recurring gains illegally through a business or businesses.

Big Pharma come to mind? It is the largest donor to Congress (both parties). And what is the relationship of the Democrat party to Big Media? Unions? (Although that appears to be changing!)

Don’t wish to believe government is a criminal organization? Sorry, but it is simply irrefutable.

Think of the millions of illegal aliens, many of them criminals, allowed to cross our border in recent years. Countless numbers of whom have been given cell phones, pre-loaded credit cards, driver’s licenses, and been transported around the country and put up in nice hotels. Or sent to ‘battleground states.’

For some reason. Coincidence, I’m sure.

The government doesn’t want you to think about the staggering amount of crime, sex-trafficking, and fentanyl that has come across the border with them. Mention this, and you will likely be accused of racism, xenophobia … or of spreading ‘misinformation.’

Think of ‘Fast & Furious,’ a criminal operation if there ever was one. Brought to you — and others — by the Obama administration.

Think of of the Steele dossier, or 51 top intelligence officials swearing that Hunter’s laptop was a Russian PSYOP, or Biden’s quid pro quo with Ukraine regarding a certain prosecutor looking into … malfeasance on the part of the Bidens.

As our first president, far more eloquent and steeped in a knowledge of history than any politician today, so astutely noted: “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

Alas, we all lack the courage or the will. Perhaps our chains will set lightly upon us.

Has been since Wilson was elected president. He was responsible for the 16th, 17th, and 19th Amendments. The 16th legalized racketeering via taxes on income.

“ the United States has become a ‘criminal organization.’”

Yeah, but you sure don’t want the mental picture of Tim Walz “going to the mattresses”

People are certainly late to the party. .Gov has been a criminal enterprise for decades. Regardless of who controls the congress or Presidency.

As everyone knows, it’s gotten a lot worse.

FedGov is in the “Bust Out” phase now. Trillions upon trillions in debt will destroy us.

Among other things it is a plundering operation on a scale that would make the Mongol horde blush. If you look at the Federal budget, the vast majority is not spent on goods and services authorized by the Constitution (even more so when you realize the graft and grift build into things like the defense budget now). Most is simply money “redistributed” to buy votes, with vast amounts now being siphoned off to fund huge bureaucracies of very well paid patrons, as well as their leadership.

When I grew up, Big Pharma was ENEMY #1 on the Nightly News.
Then they got to advertise on TV.
Then 70% of the ads on Network News is Big Pharma.
Now Big Pharma is the DARLING of Network News.

So you get a job at the FDA to regulate Big Food.
But very soon the lobbyists at Big Food hint that much bigger bucks await if you behave ‘properly’.
No cash moves, no laws are broken, and you are very kind to Big Food.
You ‘retire’ from the FDA and are immediately a Senior Manager for Big Food.
No laws were broken, but you’re all set for a very rewarding post-civil servant lifestyle.

With lotteries, state governments have taken over most of the numbers racket.
