Writing political dissertations is harder now, after the attacks on the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon. However things really haven't changed all that much, so I figured, "what the hell".
Do you remember the 50’s Si Fi classic movie titled, “The Blob”. It starred a youthful Steve McQueen. The movie is commonly known as science fiction, but you will be interested to learn that it isn’t science fiction at all, it’s true, it actually happened, granted, It may be an over-exaggerated, or an over-dramatized documentary, but is essentially factual. The Blob exists, it lives on today and over the past forty years it has grown huge.But, more about that later...
Meanwhile, on the other side of a Central California city.
It had been 27 years since I had been in any High School. But several years ago I went to watch my nephew compete in his High School’s Varsity Wrestling Match. In my prudish way I was aghast to find a day care center on campus. And even more shocked at the number of teenage mothers, or pregnant girls present at a sparsely attended event. I recalled in my own three years of high school (1970-72), I remember only two girls who got themselves knocked up. But in the two hours I was there I saw at least seven or eight girls in various stages of motherhood. So, there I was, at my nephew's high school, counting the pregnant students, asking myself "Damn! when did all this sh#$ happen?"But, more about that later...
Warning:
Don’t assume the next section is a metaphor. I am going to be speaking (so to speak) quite literally. I will be suggesting a rather unconventional concept, and I doubt I can explain it correctly, so you may have to offer me some charity in your thoughts.Some people view the welfare state as an institution, if you’re a social engineer you would view it as a mechanical device.
It’s neither; it is in fact an entity.
It may not have a brain, or even a central nervous system, yet it is a living thing, it is a formless mass (or Blob) of living organic material weighing several million pounds. If you get too close to it, it will engulf you, absorb you, and assimilate you into it’s own body.It is a single huge COLONY ANIMAL whose individual members are those Human Beings who belong to it. Those who, even though separated by great distances, share a common need, a common purpose, and a common philosophy of dependency.
The colony is alive because the colony members within it are alive, and unconsciously operating to a common goal.
Like any living thing, it desires to live, and to grow, and to become more powerful.
Like any other living thing it has both reflexes and instincts for survival.
If you criticize it, it becomes embittered.
If you threaten it, it becomes defensive.
If you attack it , it will reach out and swat you like a fly.
And, like any other living thing, it eats.
If you feed it, it will be back later, for more.
If you don’t feed it, when it gets hungry it will hunt on it’s own.
And like any other predatory animal, it’s first choice for prey is “the young”.But, more about that later...
Back home in the high desert of Southern California,
I ventured into a major named grocery store, one that I did not normally frequent. Walking down the rows I came up to a product display case. It was divided into two sections. The lower half contain children’s videos, “Bambi”, “Snow White”, that sort of thing. The upper half of the case was filled with condoms. (You figure it out.)And also:
Some people think that children are apt to imitate things they see in their world. For that reason, an innocent cartoon made back in the fifties had to be edited. A scene where a cartoon bird plugs a cartoon cat's tail into a electrical power outlet had to be removed, so that young TV viewers would not see and imitate such behavior. I am not really sure if kids would go around plugging kitties’ tails into outlets. Since I work with electronics I know what harm that would do to a cat, so of course I'm all for it. However, I am confused why Hollywood, who apparently believes that kids would do just that, (imitate what they see.) would then allow two lesbians to fondle themselves in prime time TV.
(That's another one you'll have to figure out.)But, more about that later...
Ok, you may have already deduced my drift here, but, before I pull things together let me stipulate that I am not suggesting a conspiracy to sexually indoctrinate children in order to ease them into the rolls of welfare. Well, Ok… actually, I am.
Ok, I'll wait until the laughter dies down.
You have to be able to visualize a conspiracy with a total lack of conspirators. Which is pretty much what I am suggesting, as strange as that might seem.
The Welfare Entity is a conspiracy without conspirators.
The millions of people within it operate as conspirators, they do so without meeting one another, without speaking to one another , without making a single subversive plan.
They have no clue what they are doing. They only know that the Welfare Entity must survive. So, without planning, they simply all operate towards that common goal. To maintain the Welfare Entity, whether they realize it or not, they must assure a supply of fresh meat. The Welfare Entity as I said operates as a single living thing, and is mindless, Therefor it has no moral judgement or concern for human life let alone the welfare of our children.Many Blobs.
This is not just limited to the political left, Hillary was right, there really was a vast right wing conspiracy against President Clinton, however there were no conspirators. Just a Lot of people who despised a corrupt president. It was yet another example of the "colony animal" concept, there are many such "Blobs" out there. It is a idea that helps explain the expanding number of conspiracy theories of our times, many conspiracies, no conspirators.Another example:
Every Liberal, and every Conservative is a member in such a colony, and every election day each of these colonies operates in unison towards their common goals.So when Mr. conservative What's his name goes on TV and explains that Teletubbies is a Gay conspiracy to promote homosexuality, Ok, it sounds laughable, but as I said there are many of these colony animals out there. So… personally I do not automatically discount it. That sort of thing can really be plausible, no conspirators, but a conspiracy of like-minded people nevertheless.
Disclaimer:
I have never seen a Teletubbies episode. So I can neither agree or disagree with the notion, but I wouldn’t be a bit surprised. Every colony animal wants to grow.Now is my idea so hard to believe?
The welfare state is the Democratic party’s power base. Do you really think they will ever do anything to change or even reduce that? Do you think that a clerk, working in a welfare office is going to want the welfare ranks reduced, and possibly be laid off? And, no these people don't sit back, wring their hands, and make plans to actually put more people on welfare.
…well hell, maybe they do, the Democratic party are a pretty strange lot. But, I kinda doubt it myself, No, I think my little concept explains it much better.In closing:
Liberals tell me that we have to care for unwed mothers. I know they must really like unwed mothers, they have created so many of them.For myself I don’t view the welfare system as giving aid to unwed teenage mothers,
WE ARE, IN FACT, BREEDING UNWED TEENAGE MOTHERS like cattleThe welfare beast must be fed, and regrettably it, much like my waistline will continue to grow ever larger.
Post Script:
Anyone could say that this report is outdated, because welfare reform passed into law several years ago has drastically reduced the number of people on welfare. I have also heard these claims from politicians. Sorry, I just don’t believe them. They're politicians so I wouldn’t believe them if they said the sun would rise in the morning; I would get up early and verify it. Back in 1995, during the debate on the Contract With America, I watched, on CSpan, the welfare colony operate:
When it was criticized, it became embittered.
When it felt threatened, it became defensive.
And vocal members of the colony threatened physical violence if it was interfered with.
And only a few years later when a different welfare reform became law, there was silence. Why?
Because it knew that it was in no real danger, that the reform was just smoke and mirrors to offer the illusion of reform.
The beast is still very much alive and well. However, if this statement is incorrect, nobody will be happier than I.So now you have read yet another blistering report... thanks.
If you agree with it, pass it around for comment by others.
If you disagree with it, then write your own damn report and submit it for comment.Submitted for your review by.
