No matter how one may slice it;
all bureaucratic agencies are politically connected. It takes politics to put a bureaucracy
together and it takes politics to keep it going. Bureaucratic policies depend upon which way
the political winds are blowing. For the
past 8 years those “winds” were blowing from the Liberal direction and will
continue to do so, until such time as the American People wake up as to how
Washington really works.
Legislatures are bound by rules
and the Constitution. However, by stark
contrast all bureaucracies have no such boundaries… why? The main reason is because none of those “bureaucrats”
have electable positions and answer to only their directors and/or supervisors
and almost never to the American Public.
There are literally hundreds of
thousands of bureaucrats in and around the Washington, D.C. area, which include
places in Maryland and Virginia, but this is because of the sheer size of our
government. Bureaucracies and
bureaucrats will be the true Achilles heel that will prevent Trump from “draining
the swamp”.
You see my friends, Washington
D.C. is far more complex than anyone can realize, until such time as those who
are elected to office soon discover that campaign promises are never so easily
accomplished, with so many stumbling blocks in the way.
The CIA, NSA and 15 other
Washington D.C. security agencies are also bureaucracies and we have seen that
they have also blown by the current “political winds” of the past 8 years. That became quite evident when in 2013, when
Snowden spilled the beans as to the NSA’s spying on all Americans and a very
nervous Clapper was hauled into a Senate
hearing to answer some rather embarrassing questions, for which Clapper lied,
or at the very least covered the truth with political rhetoric.
Today however, I was rather
surprised to see that Clapper was far more relaxed and quite candid in
answering the Armed Services Committee questions. And even more revealing was Clapper stated
that there was no evidence that the so-called “hacking” resulted in any improprieties
in the presidential election. Perhaps
the President-elect has changed the political winds?

I recognize those of opposing views, but be warned; any statements made must be backed up with facts and not from social/political venues. It is an absolute fact that the social/political climate is specifically designed to place riffs where none ever existed before; such as Feminism, Homosexuality and Racism, which were all promulgated by the "Powers That Be" to uphold their creed of "order out of chaos", which will eventually end this civilization. Slavery is repugnant to any civilization even if it is benevolent.
