Government causes poverty: Massive welfare spending in San Antonio makes people less educated, more desperate

For the past 5 years, the federal government has poured $54 million in government aid into an impoverished neighborhood in San Antonio, Texas.

The welfare program has apparently may have set the tiny, 3.5 square mile neighborhood back. The San Antonio Express reports more high school graduates (79.4%) require remedial courses to enter college today than before the grant infusion (77.9%).

It appears that income and wealth levels in the government-welfare-gorged neighborhood are no better now than when the U.S. government launched the program.

Obamacare stands! Republicans again betray the American people

For years, the American people have been voting for Republican politicians upon promises that those politicians would start cutting government.

When Republicans occupy one chamber of Congress, they justify their failure to cut government on grounds that Democrats control the OTHER branch.

When Republicans control both the House and the Senate, Republicans say they can’t cut anything because Democrats control the White House.

Now that Republicans control both chambers as well as the Presidency, they are still failing to cut government. Yesterday, Republicans announced that they are withdrawing plans to repeal Obamacare.

Obamacare has driven up insurance deductibles and cost millions of jobs

Americans have voted overwhelmingly against government over the past several elections. They elected Republicans in droves during the 2010, 2014 and 2016 election cycles upon promises made by such Republicans that they would repeal Obamacare.

Studies show that around half of all working Americans are made to pay higher deductibles for medical insurance.

Obamacare has made looking for a job harder.

Without repeal, Obamacare will cost the nation 2 million full-time jobs by 2025, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

As many as 1 million low-wage workers have had their hours cut because their employers needed to evade the Obamacare mandate.

As much as half of all published “science” is untrue

The prestigious British medical journal Lancet is out with a statement indicating that as much as half of all published “science” is untrue. See here.

Reasons vary. But most of the blame falls on the role of government, and the religion of government supremacy, which dominates universities worldwide.

GOVERNMENT UNIVERSITIES NOW THREATEN TO PUNISH FACULTY WHO TELL STUDENTS TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE VIEWPOINTS

There is no valid reason for taxpayers to own universities. Every argument that is commonly given for government colleges is provably false. Modern government universities (1) are less free than their surrounding environments, (2) are more expensive than most alternatives, and (3) promote a steady one-sided stream of elitism, central planning, and government control over every aspect of life, which harms the poor above all others.

Anyone who walks onto a modern government college campus immediately enters a world where speech and thought are less free and where virtually every product or service is overpriced. Government student loan programs conceal the exorbitant prices from the students, who often live in poverty for years afterward trying to pay off the government loans.

A University of Northern Colorado professor found himself accused of misconduct in summer 2016 simply for suggesting in a classroom discussion that students consider opposing viewpoints. The professor received an administrative warning that he could be more “aggressively investigated” if he continued to broach controversial subjects. See here.

Some government colleges are now launching official anti-“bias” committees and teams which process complaints by anyone (including even unnamed persons) who claims to have been offended by a remark or idea. In some cases, there are actual “law enforcement” officials on such boards. “Bias” is code for ideas which criticize government control and central planning of life (as government everywhere falsely claims to promote equality).

• Note that socialism universally creates maldistribution of property and resources where a few government administrators become wealthy by dispersing goods and services to growing numbers of desperate, impoverished poor people.

Venezuelan government “bans” bread lines and arrests bakers in response to bread lines

Socialism is a curse that should be wished only on an enemy.

Just 20 years ago, Venezuelans were the wealthiest people in Latin America. Then they voted for socialism.

Today, Venezuelans starve in the streets, eat out of dumpsters and die in knife fights in the streets while fighting over dollar bills.

Now, facing a bread shortage that is spawning massive lines and souring the national mood, the Venezuelan government is now detaining bakers and seizing bakeries. See here.

“In a statement, the government said the bakers had been selling underweight bread and were using price-regulated flour to illegally make specialty items, like sweet rolls and croissants.”

In response to long bread lines, the government has announced that the lines will be banned.

The majority of government-funded scientific research cannot be replicated

In May of 2016, a survey by Nature revealed that over two thirds of researchers surveyed had tried and failed to reproduce the results of another scientist’s study.

In the field of cancer biology, merely 10% of results from published literature were found to be reproducible.

Government funding of university “science” produces published “studies” which overwhelmingly support the empowerment of government. This distortion threatens the progress of science itself. See here.

CIA now employs at least 5,000 hackers to troll and disrupt the internet

One revelation from Wikileaks’ release of CIA emails is the fact that the CIA now employs at least 5,000 hackers who spend their workdays spreading malware, viruses and other other bad code through the internet. See here.

It appears the CIA is seeking to copy and replicate the “fingerprints” of other, perhaps foreign, hackers.

It may be that the CIA is gearing up for a false-flag event of some kind in the future.

More evidence that the FBI used Best Buy “Geek Squad” as a secret surveillance branch

Now there is additional evidence that the FBI used Best Buy’s “Geek Squad” to get around the Fourth Amendment.

The FBI needs a warrant to introduce evidence taken from someone’s computer. But by enlisting (and paying) Best Buy’s “Geek Squad” to conduct secret surveillance on unsuspecting customers, the FBI has sought to evade the constraints of the Constitution. See here.

Electric car sales in China collapse after government subsidies cease

Government-trusters everywhere seek to centrally plan the energy industry.

Just as in the U.S., the government of China has been promoting “alternative energy” schemes for years.

In the U.S, government-loving shysters like Elon Musk have bilked taxpayers out of at least $450 million while promoting electric-car pipe dreams.

Similarly, in China the government has been subsidizing and promoting a pie-in-the-sky dreamworld of electric cars which might someday run off of solar or wind energy.

Just as in the U.S., the electric car industry in China has collapsed as soon as the government stopped paying for the scam. See here.
