Man these Gaetz threads attract every single glowie on FreeRepublic.
He should add DHS to the list.
As it is, DHS would just take over all the power and employees I suppose.
Bkmk
But the democrats needs their storm troopers
The Democrat storm troopers are BLM and Antifa—the FBI is their secret police—their Pretorian Guard. FBI = KGB They are to keep Dems in Power.
I think Matts a great man—but he will not be alive long—he will have an “accident” or be found with Kiddy Porn on his Laptop. Or a Sudden Heart Attack. They got a sitting president out—but it took the help of China and DR. Fauci to do it. Kill Millions—they don’t care. They are willing to start a Nuke war—they have neat bunkers to survive—People? Why, just let in Millions of New Peasants replace these dead bumkin Trump fools. The new illegals can do the hard work? We live, I hate to say it, in a post Democratic world. The USA will look more like the CCPs China in the future—I fear.
You are correct in identifying much of the problem as “centralization”.
Historically, almost all cases were run by the local field office working with the local US attorney’s office and this avoided politicization as cases were more likely to reflect local values.
This began to change during the Clinton years when local offices were instructed that certain types of cases, meeting a criteria for political sensitivity, were supposed to be reported up the chain. The number of bosses and levels of bureaucracy in most federal agencies is staggering and the slightest mistake can effectively derail the climb up the ladder (same for military) so the front-line supervisor and all the middle layers of management are only too happy to kick it up the chain.
This means that outside of normal cases you end up with everything “sensitive” being run by a small group on the 7th floor of the FBI and/or the heads of departments like civil rights or public corruption at the DOJ. It makes it far easier to act in a political manner if you are steering the ship and deciding when to open and close cases.
We need to disperse the federal government to help decentralize it from the DC bubble - it won’t fix all the problems but in the current construct it seems impossible to even begin to fix it by keeping everything so centralized. Building a new gigantic HQ in the beltway is NOT the answer.
It’s shocking how politicized these things have become
In what way ?
No one is going to abolish any federal agency. This is just pretend. Republicans have been promising for decades they would abolish Medicare or the Department of Education. It never happens. Stop lying to people.
The agenda to destroy all things normal and conservative
I will argue that rather than kill the FBI, the better course is to kill off the top traitorous leaders.
No mercy, no quarter for say a thousand or so
Cost benefit ratio says get rid of it. It is a threat to freedom and liberty. AMF.
The new FIB building should be built without a 7th floor. It would remind FIBers of their real mission.
‘1984’ - the follow-up to “Idiocracy”
Not gonna happen.
I stand with Matt.
