Creature Culture
When did “we the people” become “the bureaucrats recommend?” When President Trump campaigned for office and while in office he talked about “the swamp.” It didn’t take long for people to understand just how vast the swamp is; the swamp runs far and deep. The swamp is not just the “fake media,” which has carried the torch for the Democrats for years, it is also the “fourth branch of government”—the government agency employees who believe they know what’s best, the non-profits and community organizations that live off the peoples’ taxes through grants, the political hacks who work behind the scenes and create dossiers against opponents, and the judges who have been appointed to implement policy—not rule on law. There was a time when the swamp creatures were advisors to our elected officials; they provided options for consideration. Somewhere along the way, the creatures have created a culture where they are the rulers, the decision makers, and they report to no one. “We the people” are now controlled by bureaucrats, whom we didn’t elect, can’t fire, don’t evaluate, and many times don’t even know!
Creatures of the federal swamp
Leading the list today is Dr. Anthony Stephen Fauci, Director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. He has single-handedly thrown the United States into a state of fear and chaos. Never elected, but allowed to write policy that dictates the lives of we the people.
He is followed closely by General Mark A. Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the principal military advisor to the President, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Council. We are always grateful for the service of our military members, and so we are grateful to General Milley’s 40 years of military service. We will not, however, tolerate unelected officials undermining the civilian leadership and the Commander in Chief.
Throughout the Department of Health and Human Services, we add to the list Dr. Rochelle Paula Walensky, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The flip-flopping of policy guidance and recommendations have closed our schools, shuttered our businesses, left our citizens unemployed, and threatened to rip away medical freedoms.
And, always follow the money. Kristalina Georgieva, former World Bank CEO and now head of the International Monetary Fund, pushed staff at the World Bank to inflate China data. She now heads an organization where the United States provides funding to the tune of $150B a year.
Arizona may be dry, but we have a swamp
Many would call them “activists” when they come together on an initiative, but if they are receiving federal funding through grants then they are working with “we the people” tax money to push their initiative. They are using OUR tax dollars to promote initiatives that we may oppose.
The “We are Home Celebration” will kick off with neighborhood outreach by Pima County Justice for All. This group is collecting signatures for an initiative which would change the Pima County code to allow access to a public defender for indigent residents facing deportation or detention. It needs to collect 75,000 signatures by next July to make it onto the November 2022 ballot.
These groups that receive federal, state, local grants are involved in this initiative; Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona, Tucson Jobs with Justice, LUCHA — Living United for Change in Arizona, Arizona Center for Empowerment, Corazón Arizona, and Care in Action US, are receiving funding to set policy that you will vote on. Be aware, follow the money, there’s a plan.
Join me; keep watch.
