I LIKE IKE
What does Gary Null and Ike have in common?
There is not much that I can add to the following dissertation on what has transpired over the last 70 years to create a top down society. Our Constitution was to create a bottom up society were We the People are informed and are told the truth by governmental bodies. Both Ike and Gary Null understood this and Ike in his farewell address warned about the Military/Industrial Complex and NO ONE LISTENED!
Gary Null PhD lays it out in the most concise way. He is also the author of the book: Death By Medicine. Which is also accurate.
THANK YOU GARY
Wake up Americans! You are being led down the wrong path to serfdom.

Dr B, I couldn’t agree more. Forgive my boldness and criticize all you can, but I think I have a fix that would restore a lot of that bottom up basic common good we all want. Here it is: separate spending from funding. Elected politicians can and should propose spending BUT ONLY citizen taxpayers should APPROVE FUNDING . This puts a hard stop to fraud and waste if given the help of DOGE. And takes the wind out of the sociopathic sails (maybe). Every taxpayer must assign their tax dollars for or NOT for each spending proposal every year after Doge’s accounting. Budgets then shrink or swell based on performance and the will of THOSE who actually fund the government. If everyone with skin in the game ie taxpayers, did this, graft would approach zero and lobbies would have no one to “buy”. Nothing focuses the mind, sharpening the senses more than having one’s own hard work stolen and misused. And nothing would do more to unite Democrats and Republicans than everyone getting the governance they want TO THE EXTENT THEY WERE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. Note: non-contributing citizens and non-citizens ARE NOT allowed in this assignment. Why? Because they get their say when they vote for or lobby their representatives. But if they aren’t actually paying taxes for government services, then they shouldn’t get to fund the government! This is the step change needed in our constitution!
"Our Constitution was to create a bottom up society were We the People are informed and are told the truth by governmental bodies."
I usually agree with you, but both claims are the reverse of the truth.
In fact, one of America’s leading philosophers, Mercy Otis Warren, objected to ratification of the constitution, writing, “Sic transit Gloria Americana” (Thus passes the glory of America) in this short, but excellent piece explaining why.:
