"Last Day or Next to the First"


“Last Day or Next to the 1st” cji 12/31/17

Often thought how difficult to solve the growth of government. Like an opening of Pandora’s box letting loose a silent hidden storm in layers of mischief founded nepotism. Each new birthing bringing more and more confusion – contention – and always more and more internal growth. It would seem like with each new layer the overriding command was to create an empire make it big strong and seemingly important.

Once I worked for an organization which required strict adherence to rules and to access (it still does today). However, it too in places became layered – not in empires but by individuals who sought to make themselves non-expendable. They would do work which required detailed documentation – wiring – schematics – blueprints – and while seemingly always complying he didn’t do this. Instead he would present his work and when each project was completed he filed them away. He didn’t keep the standards for behavior off the work site and lost his clearances. When they came to his office area and told him he could no longer be employed – he challenged them by saying well only he knew the wiring and all of the other intricacies of his work. He then indicated it was all in his head. However they did fire him escorting him off of the work spaces – out the main gate.

At that time there was an energy crunch going on and this company was told to find ways to save energy by any means possible. The building this man had been responsible for was one of the heavy energy users. An engineer and myself (a non-engineer) were assigned to clean up the mess and make it workable and we didn’t have much time to do it in. Complications and solutions are one of my specialties and the engineer and I were good friends. Question was where to start – at the tree or in the branches. Suggested after some prayer and analysis was lets built a new tree over the top of the first. All brain saved work requires a key of entry – there were two possible ideal locations. We separated and within an hour we the portal entry. Needless to say we took several years of work and condensed it down to three days and had a new system up and working. Oh the engineer then had update and create the new documents but the building worked and we helped them save thousands of hours of energy. The man was expendable!

In government which I worked in also – I learned very quickly each office I was in could cut at least 50% and some as much as 75% and still be functional. Why? Because empires aren’t needed – workers who know what they’re supposed to do are. The computer and other modern inventions have caused millions of hours to be saved. But somehow the jobs continue to filled no longer needed. This is a drain on the economy – and a self-fulfilling ruling mandate of the government which President Trump took over in January 2017. His background is ideal for cleaning out the rat holes of layered redundancy in government. Sadly in business you go in and clean house with a specific plan that you don’t need to wait for the ‘protectors’ to approve of first. In this case the protectors are the House and Senate. Then the courts – and then the gators and snakes who hid behind the laws. Should the Senate/House choose to shut the government down – then he could really clean house. But most likely not the scenario to be followed.

In government they’ve this seniority thing – like what happens to a military without any wars – and the paper pushers replace the fighters. We’ve also to remember it’s not been a peoples government since the 1913 changes to the Constitution to the 1930’s – Social Security and everything in between. Requirements to fill jobs has little or nothing to do skills – but more on political correctness. One of my extended family members was assigned to work with/under a man who on the very first day was told I’ll be here long after you’re gone – because I’m (name a color or culture). The least comment out of line of PC can get one fired and another a promotion. Understand there is no excuse of any sexual harassment but without a dress code one can come looking like a gigolo or a street walker – or worse. Then file a complaint because they feel someone looked at them wrongly.

When a Chamber of Commerce for a small town mid-70’s (70K population) we found we’d have persons going on job interviews – claiming sexual harassment and collecting out of court upwards of $100,000 a year. We suggested to business owners with legal advice to do on-the-job interviews. They would employ the person (part time) for two-three hours – give them a desk and what tools they needed – if a secretary letters to type – if a mechanic then a machine to operate – start-up to finish. At the end thank them for their time – cut them a pay-check properly and tell them they’d be called back. Quickly solved the problem – virtually no communications not seen by all in the office or shop and you could easily evaluate their work. The workers in the various work spaces could report their interactions and thought on the person performance. Nothing’s perfect but sure cut down the false lawsuits. Indeed afterwards working with the appropriate offices we tracked down those who’d been hustling the business with false claims.

Government to be discerned from a business produces no products – it only provides a service. Government as a Service industry is the most top heavy – while self-owned and operated service businesses are just the opposite. Why? One feeds off of taxes while the other needs to earn income for services given. Their protectors in the Government will provide the taxes – one way or another – hidden in bills which they pass daily – and or by saying tit for tat. A privately run business with any self-respect can’t do that.

Let me give you an example: I was presented a contract to award – one bidder – technical rep had signed off on the proposal – was an 8(A) beltway corporation. Seemingly a cut and dry – get the ink on the paper. However, I questioned the pricing. Reviewing the specifications and the award amount didn’t add up. Now this is what I reconstructed – as soon as I asked the first question the Contracting Officer got a call and was asked who’d been assigned the Contract for Award – he told the caller me. They asked him to change it to anyone but me. Why? Said he couldn’t do it as I’d already submitted in writing my questions and concerns. Found out the caller was from the State Senators office. With just a routine checking of the pricing I found most items double billed and some 3x’s or more. Simple question asked for a DCAA audit and for a resume’ of facilities. The first was begun – but the second – they had no idea what a resume’ of facilities was and for sure didn’t have one. I re-asked the question tell me what equipment you have on hand in your facility to do this work. They had none. Therefore we were going to buy all of the equipment – hire all their personnel and pay them over $3,000,000 dollars to accomplish this not knowing if could even build the product. Let me end here quickly after wasting the Government time – seven months later was awarded a contractor with a state of the art shop – for under $500,000 and a product delivered to the field in six weeks. Included was a value added which saved the Government an additional $40,000 dollars. The 8(A) in this case was never heard of again in our office. This was one small contract among thousands annually assigned to a contracting office – told to award and who to award to and rubber stamped. Say 1,000 of these were the same – over priced by $2.5M – that’s $2,500,000,000 over spent without any questions asked. Oh by the way I was to be happy I had a job!

This is our Federal Government at work – business as usual which wasn’t business at all but highway theft – approved and encouraged by our Senators and Congresspersons knowingly and willingly engaged. When I first called the Senator’s office I was told the proposed contractor was citizen of their state – I answered and said I am too and I vote.

In the State Department the ingrowth is so bad one could fire 53% of the workers there and none would be missed – however, you’ve to make sure you get the right 53%. The saying in DC is who cares who the Secretary of State is – we control what happens and what doesn’t – warning the Secretary – don’t make waves. How many others are so corrupt – in 2017 we’ve seen just the surface – of course they want to impeach President Trump – otherwise their sugar daddy’s gone or will be gone.

We’ve so many levels in DC that the states no longer can control their budgets due to the drive down your throats legislation which for the most part looks good in its new suit or dress but is the same slop delivered over and over with no lasting result. Think of the wasted dollars in our Government Departments: (here’s some not including BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND COMMITTEES or Smithsonian:

What have any of these produced at the Federal level which could not have been done better and more efficiently at the state and local level. These agencies are forcing those who know how to get things done to pay for the waste and abuse of those who just don’t care. Why? Because for those who are really wondering the president in early 1900’s decided to reinterpret the Constitution to say: “Whatever things not directly given to the Federal Government – are the responsibilities of the States!” to say, “Whatever things not directed to the State Governments – are the responsibility of the Federal Government.” Remember in 1880 the meetings at the Golden Isles? Most don’t as much was never reported – but the wealthiest men/women in America got together and decided they could do a better job than the people. In 1881 President Garfield was shot and killed – anyone remember he was a firm supporter of the Gold Standard – his replacement was Chester A. Arthur who had been involved with the political party machine – he got the job and the message to play with us (the Golden Isle’s boys/girls). Next in line to be murdered was William McKinley – who was also a strong Gold Standard and Protectionist mind set. He was replaced by Theodore Roosevelt who changed the Constitutional intent of States Rights to Federal Rights. In deed he gave us the public schools – sent both parents back to work – created money out of thin air on a bank note from J.P. Morgen (Golden Isles club) and did away with the 4th Party System. Unhappy with the progress while it had been great considering the time table – the Golden Isles boys/girls club found the perfect ‘fool’ Woodward Wilson a writer, Professor and with a wide open view of government needing a big brother to oversee its operations. Thus went out the window the Gold Standard – lowering tariffs – raising taxes and as one can say the rest is history. We invited in the age of Oligarchy to the US which actually had its impregnation since the age of Jefferson. He reintroduced the Federal Income Tax – and other such laws – one of the best was Federal Farm Act – and all those farms which went bankrupt in the Depression can thank him for the banks (Golden Isle’s boys and girls club) for now owning them. It gets worse – We got the New Deal then the United Nations – then almost going back on the Gold Standard another President had to die – JFK. And with his death we got a contemporary of Andrew Jackson – in the form of LBJ! We now had the Great Society with the Oligarchy in full control at the throttles. What FDR gave as the addiction called welfare – LBJ added whatever was missing in abusive drugs to the government. He stripped mineral rights from the Indian reservations and that was only the beginning. This is only scratching the surface – but enough to understand what President Trump and any other non-swamp creatures are up against. In two elections since the General election we’ve seen election fraud acknowledge in public with no media coverage or concern – i.e. the Oligarchy at work.

Now you ask is this the last day or the 1st? President Trump is not a member of the Skull and Bones which most of the Presidents since the 1880’s were or had to be. Reagan was told if he wanted to be elected he had to take George Bush as his VP. Indeed did not someone try to shoot him while in office? They own the media – all venues – and they have printed less than 5% decent news on President Trump since he chose to run for the office of president. Thus within the layers of the storms of Pandora’s Box – we’ve so much to strip away and none willing to do their homework – the American People have a voice but only holding their breath to see if President Trump can endure – he’s got a big target on his back/side/front and some say the contract is out their waiting – some have even bragged about it. What happens if he dies? The Oligarchy has names – dates and addresses – even a socialist dictator couldn’t ask for more –and the previous administration is leading the charge.

This is the Federal Government neither for the people or by the people with the sole exception of President Trump and VP Pence! The Senate and House; the Media; the Departments are owned by the oligarchy our friends from the Golden Isles boys/girls club – with the addition of George Soros and a couple others trying to buy their in – actors, athletes, entertainers and others who are here illegally or just out and out criminals.

If it only were as simple as sending in an engineer and a problem solver – to solve the problem – make it work right and take three days to do. If only – c/ork

We’ve a choice America
we can make this the 1st
or accept is as the last
we take back America
one step – one precept
or we go hog into defeat
how many are willing
to endure through the fight
last day or the 1st each
the Oligarchy won’t quit
too much invested within
too many purchased souls
this is a fight to the end
who’ll endure to the end?

"Gathering Sloth" (essay)


Alma 33:21 O my brethren, if ye could be healed by merely casting about your eyes that ye might be healed, would ye not behold quickly, or would ye rather harden your hearts in unbelief, and be slothful, that ye would not cast about your eyes, that ye might perish?

“How Could a Compassionate God”
(allow bad things to happen?)

cji 12/21/17

Throughout the history (written) of mankind one has learned to blame all evil on our Heavenly Father. Why? Because we voted in the pre-existence to have our own agency to be obedient to the Commandments of God or not to do so. The Plan offered by the adversary was that no one had any agency to choose right or wrong and all would be good we’d come get our mortal body and return and all the glory would be his. 1/3 of the hosts of Heaven choose his plan. 2/3rds choose Father’s Plan – if you’ve a mortal body today – which can feel love, pain; touch; hearing; taste; smell then you were one of the 2/3rds (some a tad reluctantly – but most willing to follow the Father. 

Which is it? You cannot have it both ways! Of course 99% of today’s population have never embraced fully Father’s Plan and are for the most part not in obedience to the Commandments of God. They’re good people just not within the fold. If you’re one of the less than 1% that is within the fold and you’re blaming Heavenly Father then you better repent without hesitation and get back into the obedience mold. There is nothing easy about exercising one’s agency fully in obedience to all of the Commandments. Even Brigham Young when speaking in St. George Utah – told those assembled there were a lot of Mormon’s present but very few Saints.

When one asks ‘how could a compassionate God allow evil to happen this would indicate God is responsible for the suffering of mankind – however each of us have to endure a refiners fire to see how we’ll endure to the end or not – the negativity – contention – anger comes from the adversary making us want to blame someone and God’s gets most of the blame.

Think of it differently in the Count of Monte Christo – the Abbey Farah when he died and Donte’s was full of anger – he told him to remember the good times – the wonderful times – the loving times – these are memories which overcome the ones not so sweet.  If everything was sweet there’d be no bitter – no comparison to test us and or our faith. We can pass or fail on how we think or make decisions about things. Usually for most of us the bad/sad/sorrowful all come at the end and we forget the playing in the snow – laughing in the bedroom – being at the alter – our first kiss – and or our last – we’ve the choice to make of our memories – we can remember holding each other’s hands – a gentle touch of the lips – or our first argument – up to us – each individually – hating God is not the answer – that would be like saying no thank you to all the good things in our lives – ignoring the loving kindnesses shown you over days or decades of life.

Do those who live in abject poverty around the world choose to do so? No, however because evil men/women exercise unrighteous dominion over their lives. Is this God’s fault? How can it be – those exercising unrighteous dominion have chosen to be disobedient to the Commandments of God. This can be the bully – the elected officials – the rapist – the thief – the movie maker – the video game maker – the slum lords – the minister – anyone who exercises unrighteous dominion over another. And since they’re all in cahoots with one another – they shift the blame to God.

We know we’ve a ‘fake media’ where does it begin or stop? Augustine and Origen were both rhetoricians – telling the people what they wanted to hear – since they’re collectively known as the fathers of Eastern and Western Christianity – we’d have to wonder what changes and how many they made to the Scriptures and the Doctrines of the Father and the Son. If rhetoric is known as not telling the full truth then it must be considered to be lies. It the two founders of 99% of the world Christian religions are/were and still were lairs – where does that leave those churches of the reformation age?

Thus when you consider all of the other religions within the world today considered non-Christian where are they found? Most all of these non-Christian sacred texts while meaningful – beautiful – but passed down – rewritten – translated and none leading to the eternal family of what value other than earthly. Earthly in meaning they do not transcend the Veil. Only the eternal family will transcend the veil to the highest degree of glory. Of course most including almost all of the various Christian religions don’t believe there’s an eternal family unit – and as no way of doing the Sealing Ordinance’s given to Peter James and John – ‘whatever is not sealed on earth will not be sealed in Heaven’ we’ve to accept this as being true.

How could a compassionate God allow bad things to happen because we voted for agency – no one can take another’s agency away from them – only they can give it away by their choices.  This means their choices to be fully obedient or not to the Commandments of God.
President Boyd K. Packer (now deceased) said in a talk, “Since God could not take my agency back – I decided to give it back to him. I would simply be obedient to everything. I learned a great lesson the more obedient I was in giving it back to him – the agency I had.” (This is a paraphrase – sorry.)

We’ve each choices – blame God for the bad – and pat ourselves on the back for the good – or recognize the why and how of agency. However, blaming God is not right nor is it likely to make any significant changes in your life or those around you. This is the reason the adversary celebrates your anger – confusion and hopes to provide you with plenty of contention to go through your life with – remembering the bad and forgetting the good.  In the name of Jesus Christ – amen – c/ork

So many are so smart
some claim very smart
ever more-so than God
logismoi Peter called it
denying the gnosis all
literal are all Scriptures
even those loosely to be
changes and translations
still enough to discern
what is true and not
what is agency and not
so smart are men/women
to blame God always
thus making others follow
gladly minions of satan
gathering sloth beliefs
justifying their logismoi!
