“WHAT WE SAW”: WHAT IF ALL PUBLIC SPEECH IN MATTERS PUBLIC WAS SUBJECT TO STRICT LIMITS ON PERJURY: TESTIFIABILITY?
(reforms) (Part 1)
Trust in government, in our bureaucracies, in our institutions, and in our international institutions is lower than in our industries.
We saw politicians, public intellectuals, ‘scientists’ and media saturate us with information that was produced by scientists but was in no way science proper: The Intellectual Marketplace equivalent of Court Testimony.
We saw our government demonstrate just how much a credentialed (undemonstrated) pseudo-elite (incompetent) is desperate to escape the limits placed on service bureaucracies, to seek attention, influence, career climbing, and money – or as in the most obvious case, to escape from collusion by evading regulation to engage in illegal research.
We saw regulators, bureaucrats, politicians and economists fantasize in creating a utopian economic condition of majority white-collar service workers fulfilling the neoliberal fantasy; to produce state-of-the-union accounts that ignored the spectrum of capital from human, to resource, to built, to formal institutional, to behavioral institutional; to produce GDP numbers that do not reflect either that capital structure, or the ratio between labor competency and productivity necessary to maintain strategic invulnerability; and worse, to leave the country strategically dependent upon the goodwill of existing and potential enemies – enemies who do not want to end the era of authoritarian agrarian empires of conquest that do not require high trust public or public trust in institutions, instead of modern high trust societies and polities, as individual sovereign states, federated for defense, and trading for the common good.
We saw the corruption of the treasury, the central bank, the banking and financial sector, and SEC – and even the economics profession that enabled the crimes of all of them. And worse, including the CBO, these people put out numbers – especially GDP – that do not capture research and development cost
We saw the politicization of Justice, the FBI, Homeland Security, and now the CIA – where politicization is just another word for corruption. Especially in the disintermediation of our people from the courts, activist courts, secret courts, and unequal prosecution, all in violation of natural, human, common law, constitutional rights, obligations, and inalienations.
We saw the failure of our “Insurers of Last Resort” – the first purpose of the government – because of the ‘institutional capture’ of FEMA, CDC, WHO, and now IMF. On top of the failure of the UN that is just a hostile force against the developed world. These people are rent-seekers, seeking exit from the competitive economy, and instead, pursue status-seeking and career climbing along with their peers.
We saw the ‘forcible conversion’ of our education system from one whose primary function is to produce citizens capable of self-determination by self-determined means and capacity to make democratic decisions under economically and empirically limited means and ends. The academy is for all intents and purposes repeating the Christian destruction of the roman world, from within, by the same means: a new cult promising freedom from the four laws of nature: scarcity, behavior, evolution, and logic.
We have a limited set of defenses against a corrupt government and its special interests.
– Boycott: is ineffective outside of commercial interests that are outside of state capture.
– Canceling: Effective for commercial interests that don’t cave to threats of undermining.
– The Vote: Ineffective for other than special interests, because votes always reflect those interests and never those the people demand.
– The Court: Ineffective b/c of limitations on rule of law that grants special privileges to state actors.
– And Uprising: Effective only for the radical left that assists the state in power accumulation.
