Government: Say one thing but do another

February 17, 2021 // 0 Comments

Under the best of circumstances, Governments at every level struggle to deliver the critically important goods and services that politicians promise especially during election years.  The usual excuse for failures to perform revolve around purported funding shortfalls or other snafus but are all too often the result of promising what can never possibly be delivered, no matter how critical that work product, or delivery may be.  A good example is the ongoing difficulty in distributing [- more...]

Excellent Article from the Intercept

February 3, 2021 // 0 Comments

For decades, adult guardianship has been a legally thorny issue, with independent watchdogs and journalists repeatedly finding that senior citizens are stripped of their rights and often financially exploited — with little government oversight. The cases often involve complex family drama and disagreements among siblings, but sometimes, as in Dirse’s case, it’s an outsider who gets involved, over the objections of the elderly person’s relatives.

DOUBLETHINK AND DOUBLESPEAK AND RULES FOR RADICALS IN PROBATE

January 10, 2021 // 0 Comments

Doublethink is a process of indoctrination whereby the subject is expected to accept a clearly false statement as the truth, or to simultaneously accept two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in contravention to one’s own memories or sense of reality. Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words.

Decades have passed and the Abuse Continues

October 23, 2020 // 1 Comment
