“The second is the corruption that sometimes comes with power.”
I think the corrupt seek power and the power just brings out the corruption that already exists.

This is true for many people, maybe most.
However, there are also many instances of reasonably ethical people who seek power with every intention of doing good, and then discover that they are working with so many corrupt people that they &quot;have to fight fire with fire&quot; -- and it&#039;s important for&lt;em&gt; them&lt;/em&gt; to keep power so they can continue to do good, regardless of the means, and so the devil leads them carefully down to hell.

Back to the philosopher of Neo&#039;s earlier posts -- &quot;One of the big mistakes in ethics is to think that means make all the difference.&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[I mentioned falun gong a few times online. Did not seem much interest at the time. Hence epoch times. 

They are a kind of spiritual cousin or sister to our axis. It is hard to be the vanguard for the light in china. The darker factions sometimes see you as a threat. They are not as alone as they may be told.

The state is right. If falun gong continues the power of chi, the cultivators will return and overthrow the state. The Chinese state crushes you humans with tanks. The DIvine Fleet orbitally scorches worlds, and states are crushed like ants. Some pov.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[OldTexan is right - the butt kissing necessary to advance in many bureaucracies often changes &quot;doing what is right&quot; into &quot;doing what the boss wants&quot;.  Not just gov&#039;t.

In profit-oriented companies, the boss usually wants stuff done that enhance profits, meaning more production at lower cost, which is more work for the workers.

At gov&#039;t agencies, and NGO / no profit measured agencies, there is A LOT more bootlicking, because there is no good objective way to measure good results.

Like JJ mentioned, under Obama, and to a too large extent GOPe Bush (who I strongly supported), the bootlicking became PC, and those not PC enough did not get promotions.

A HUGE part of the problem with PC thinking is that politics becomes more important than &quot;truth&quot;.  Blacks, on average, have lower IQs than Asians -- both are US minorities.  That basic truth, and its implications, are at the bottom of non-truthful Political Correctness.  Once PC becomes more important than truth, it combines with the corruption of power to rapidly become &quot;politically expedient&quot;.

All the illegal Obama admin actions, including Pres. Obama illegally communicating with Sec. Clinton on her illegal server, as well as the many Clinton (bribery) Foundation donations (bribes) can be understood as politically expedient, acceptable to the Dems in order to advance their PC agenda.

It&#039;s sickening, and frightening.  And the USA, in electing Trump instead of Hillary, probably DID get saved, for a time, thru a Flight 93 election.

All the top gov&#039;t employees who used Clinton&#039;s illegal email server were probably violating some law -- they should all be fired.  Inexperienced, rank amateurs would be doing a more honest, much more honest, and probably better job, than the PC bootlickers who accept illegal actions &quot;for a higher truth&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The more information that is starting to pour out in answer to various FOIA requests, the earlier and more widespread Obama Administration efforts to set up, entrap, and to spy on Trump, his associates, and apparently other candidates as well, are revealed to be.

It seems like, in their efforts to entrap him, these people threw every temptation they could at him, did everything but push George Papadopoulos&#039;s into a hotel room featuring a naked pole dancer covered with chocolate and hundred dollar bills.  

There was Prof. Mifsud’s sexy, flirty supposed “research assistant,” and now this revelation. 

Papadopoulos is now reporting that in 2017 he was invited to Israel by an Israeli-American businessman supposedly working in the energy field, who said he wanted Papadopoulos to do some energy consulting work, and this businessman invited Papadopoulos up to talk in the businessman’s hotel room, and gave Papadopoulos $10,000 in cash, that was was supposedly the first monthly retainer for Papadopoulos’ work.  

Apparently Papadopoulos was suspicious of this deal, so Papadoupoulos testified to Mueller that, before he returned to the U.S., he gave that $10K to a Greek attorney for safekeeping.

Strangely enough, when Papadopoulos arrived home and got off the plane at Dulles, the FBI was there to greet him, and was already searching through his luggage, apparently in anticipation that they would find that $10K in it, and they could then charge him with a crime for not declaring it (as you must do if you enter the U.S. carrying more than $10K in cash).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[AesopFan @ 11pm: From Red State: &quot;:What stood out most to me about Comey’s performance on Thursday night was his remarkable state of denial.&quot;

A state not that different from that of the MSM and the progs. To have done what Comey did, he had to believe  that Trump was guilty or that they could frame him. I opined at the beginning of this revelation of the coup attempt that these perps would all claim they had no choice but to investigate the possibility that Trump and/or his campaign had colluded with the Russians.  They are claiming it would have been a dereliction of duty to have not investigated. And, with the Mueller Report finding no collusion, they still cannot let go of the idea that somehow Trump  may be a Russian asset. It is both denial and a cunning attempt to claim they did nothing wrong.  

Paging AG Bill Barr. Do what you have to do, sir.]]></description>

https://hotair.com/archives/2019/05/10/school-fundraiser-cancelled-tweet-james-comey/

&lt;blockquote&gt;“It’s pretty nutty.” That was the conclusion drawn by many in the Grass Valley Charter School community when the school’s annual fundraiser was canceled over the reaction to a tweet. The tweet was posted by James Comey, of all people. Somehow a whole conspiracy theory developed around it. The small charter school in Northern California serving students from pre-K to eighth grade was thought to be the target of a terror plot.
