Letter: D.C. is inept, cumbersome and unmanageable

As the federal government copes with the above problems, many states face similar issues, but on a smaller scale.

Congress has 250 committees, including subcommittees. There must be overlap and assignment problems. The ethics committee must be in a deep sleep. The cabinet has 15 principal positions and nine auxiliary ones, plus the president and vice president. Over 80 agencies exist. We could use a sewage agency to handle the crap.

Over a year ago, the documentary “Shadowgate” was released by Millie Weaver. It exposed how government used contractors to do the dirty and undercover work.

Whistleblowers detailed how corrupt and illegal influence affected Trump’s election and other subversion. John Brennan, ex-CIA director, was heavily involved, and in other treasonous activities.

Four Star General Joe Jones and Obama helped implement the operation and later cover-up. Watch Shadowgate on YouTube. Click on Weaver’s picture. Weaver has another documentary soon.

Add to the list of government workers - congress, its assistants and field offices.

All in all, it’s a bloated organization. The contractors number 5,100.

other home compliances are controlling your living habits.

Sam Altman’s group invented Open A.I. ChatGPT morphed as an AI from that. It will give you expanded explanations on topics. But will it be controllable in some wrong areas?

Google has the Bard system, and Microsoft is entwined with ChatGPT. A.I. is expanding.

Soon, COVID identity systems will be in place. The 20 percent unvaccinated and those partially vaccinated will be targeted. It’s all about COVID. Pfizer needs the money, the government wants control, the globalists are after population control and tyranny.

States are ready for travel restrictions and even Kroger and Albertsons may soon limit food purchases per COVID I.D. What’s next is not science fiction. We are entering a transhumanist phase (humans and A.I. merging). A chip will be inserted in your arm or brain.

The globalists, Elon Musk and countries are on board. Ethics, morality and consequences enter the picture. Remedies for the D.C. bloat include stream-lining, attrition, and job elimination. Lobbyists, especially corporate, have unlimited contributions to 501c’s. Change is needed!

President Reagan wisely said: “Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem.”
