Greg Reese (I love this guy’s voice btw) has made another excellent video using this text written in 1984 by Charley Reese (are they related?) of the Orlando Sentinel:
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings, out of 300 million, who are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted – by present facts – of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Army and Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan. If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people and they alone, are responsible. They and they alone, have the power. They and they alone should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
Well worth watching and listening to. Let it inspire you:
The minuscule number in this post’s title is 545 divided by 300 million (545/300,000,000) which is one hell of a proper fraction.
In 2020, over 150 million subhuman pieces of American filth went to the polls and voluntarily voted for Biden/Trump - two subhuman war criminals. (Don't let anyone tell you Trump 'didnt start any new wars' or any of that nonsense - he vastly expanded the Bush/Obama wars of aggression and started new conflicts in Africa - the subhuman piece of filth known as Tulsi Gabbard openly brags about going there and killing people).
Americans have no excuse for their criminality. They do not deserve health care. They do not deserve reproductive freedom. They do not deserve living wages.
Read the guy's essay again. Is there even one iota or caring for the people the Americans bomb and sanction to death - MILLIONS OF 100% INNOCENT PEOPLE INCLUDING MILLIONS OF CHILDREN - anywhere in the essay? Or is it just me me me and my troops and my rights and my domestic problems?
It's a completely compassionless society and it is time for it to die. I will suffer along with all the rest, but the difference is that I will be laughing. Cruelly. Coldly. Laughing.
