Gnat in a Whirlwind

Tue, 01 August 2023 03:58

Gnat in a Whirlwind
Everytime I have to deal with a bureaucracy I feel so much like a Gnat in a Whirlwind, Buffeted on all sides by forces I bairly comprehend, let alone understand fully.

However I am no Gnat! I am a Man full grown, a natural born American Citizen, an old Corps Veteran, Head of my household and I will stand against the abuse of the whirlwind.

Over the last week I have heard several statements, from Public employees that I believe are wrong. I'll give them that a couple of these may be legaly right. But are they Moraly, Socialy right and Justified.

Has any one person in government, asked "Should We", and who said yes?

I have asked Who: With no clearly Articulated anwer. I have asked What: And recieved papers, and shown pictures and recieved a better discription. I have asked When: But I still don't know. I have asked Where: Yet the answer was unknown. And I have asked WHY: and was told Baseball fields (Though I hope they were Joking).

What I was not told was the applicable law they were applying. No reference to the Illinois Compiled Statuates at all, even when asked.

So is this a matter of Misfeasance, Malfeasance, or Nonfeasance? Or is it an indication of a pattern and practice that developed over years. And of course I could be wrong about everything I think and understand About Government or the law.

This is far from over I'm afraid.

State’s Attorney Reacts To SAFE-T Act Ruling

Another fine farce they got us into; Mon, 31 July 2023 23:13

Quote:

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled Tuesday, on a vote of 5-2, that the new controversial Illinois SAFE-T Act is constitutional. It goes into effect September 18.

Sixty-five state’s attorneys, including Bond County’s Dora Mann, were part of a lawsuit, arguing the act is unconstitutional. The case went to the Illinois Supreme Court earlier this year.

The act will eliminate cash bail for those arrested in the state. Proponents note that under the act, people can be detained pending trial, only if they pose a threat to the public or are a flight risk.

State’s Attorney Mann was upset about the ruling and was asked about it at Tuesday night’s Bond County Board meeting. She said Illinois will be the first state in the nation to eliminate cash bail. She said while she will follow the law, she believes this move will be detrimental to the state. Full Story

I'm not sure what scares me more, the Saf-t Act or that:
Quote:

Mann said in addition to the strain on her office, it will put strain on all levels of law enforcement as well. The mandate is unfunded and she pointed out the county will experience a $600,000 loss in revenue just from not having bail fees.

How does a county of only 17 Thousand generate $600,000.00, in Bail fees? Is Bond County that big a cesspit of crime?

Communication

Sat, 29 July 2023 14:35

Quote:

If you have been watching anything but mainstream media you are probably aware of the censorship going on, and if you have conjured over it a bit you may know just how big a problem it can be.

While reading some comments about the above article one poster expressed my thought on the matter:
Quote:

If ANY civilized nation TRULY cared, they would have their own UNCENSORED networks of disseminating information and allowing their citizens to communicate.

Exactly! And you can reasonably go a lot further with that thought.

I learned decades ago that communication is Circular, Continuous, and 90% Nonverbal. And I have absolutely no doubt it is far worse today.

llinois as a good place to do business

I thought it was a Joke too; Sat, 29 July 2023 14:08

Can anyone else read this article with a straight face I can't. I In fact I would add that last I heard Madison, St Claire, and Cook Counties are among the 6 worst Counties for legal procedures in the Nation. But that was a few years ago. they've gotten better right?
