“The World According to Doctrine” — “Pit Bulls get a bad rap – because they have a rap sheet”

In 2019: 69% of the human dog bite fatalities were from Pit Bulls, with an additional 7% from “mixed-breed” Pit Bulls.

It’s not surprising that Pit Bulls are the most popular dog for criminals – they attack, rend, and even kill people – and usually with no jail time for the owners. When the Pit Bulls are destroyed; the owner gets new Pit Bulls. It’s like putting the blame on the murder weapon.

The rise of Pit Bulls is a defining statistic in our Victim’s Fault society — as we move inexorably towards Colosseums, guillotining, and our final dissolution.

“The World According to Doctrine” — New Normal Corruption – “Lines of Defense”

In our government’s protective reflex to swat away any annoyance, its first response is to “Discredit the Complainant” who is causing the trouble.

When it comes to discrediting the facts that conflict with and undermine government policy making decisions; authorities can choose from a number of passive and proactive methods. A bureaucratic favorite is to present the public with background information that deliberately misrepresents, and even omits key facts; in order to validate their chosen course of action.

If getting government authorities to admit the facts is difficult; getting them to accurately report a situation and make appropriate policy decisions is almost impossible. Not only do they occupy a “high ground” that allows them to cite everything from jobs to jurisprudence as an excuse; they can change the ground rules to suit their objectives.

An important part of today’s regulatory process is how well it works to protect the interests of those who are regulated. Our government continually legislates ineffectual regulations; that effectively protect the wrongdoers.

“The World According to Doctrine” — “The shortest running musical on Broadway”

“It is what it is” young thugs say dismissively – not worrying about what’s coming round the corner. It’s not that experts don’t know the disaster rolling towards us – they’re keeping quiet – and bidding for a place in the lifeboat.

“The World According to Doctrine” — “If representative government isn’t dead . . .”

What’s the biggest stumbling block to representative government? Silence.

The first choice of politicians to address any unwelcome problem is silence. The second is to pass you on. The third it to blame someone else. The fourth is silence. The fifth is silence . . .

Tompkins County politicians’ “vision of the future” is “based on a set of principles that reflect the values of the community as expressed by the County Legislature they have elected” – does that sound like representative government to you?

Since Tompkins County residents overwhelming believe that their government is corrupt and there is no meaningful participation – they don’t either.

The response of Tompkins County officials to their decisions is: Take it or leave it – there’s nothing you can do about it. And if you want to question, debate, disclose, or document issues — silence.

“The World According to Doctrine” — New Normal Corruption – “Gown and Crown”

When a Tompkins County Department Director blatantly lied about existing conditions to avoid regulating influential corporations — nobody did anything.

When the County Ethics Advisory Board was informed of this — they would not even acknowledge the incident.

When I told residents that I was writing a book documenting the circumstantial case for widespread misconduct and corruption in Tompkins County — they frequently said: “It’s going to be a big book!”

When I sent copies of the book to County officials — they would not even acknowledge they received it.

When I sent copies of the book to University and College authorities and professors — none of them would acknowledge they received it.

The County Code of Ethics declares: “Public officers and employees must observe a high degree of moral conduct to maintain public confidence” — while the overwhelming opinion of the public is that the County is corrupt. Everybody know which is correct.

“The World According to Doctrine” — “Government policies are just adding locomotives”

We’re living in a time when every bigotry, hate, and cronyism that is turned away at the front door; is welcomed at the back door – and inequity is the only means our government will use to achieve “equality.”

Politicians pretend that treating the needs and worth of some people as being more important; is somehow different from treating the needs and worth of other people as being less important.

It’s not surprising that these “back door bigots” want to cloak everything in secrecy — they know that once they’re exposed: the train ride is over.

“The World According to Doctrine” — “Meaningful Participation Flow Chart”

It’s almost comical how annoyed our public servants are with the public. The last fifty years has seen a steady erosion of public participation in government at every level.

Each new policy and program enacted – streamlines the government process by eliminating the greatest obstacle to their smoothly running rulership — the people.

An informed public are those who read the whole proclamation – and our electorate are more interested in voting self-interest; rather than in self-rule.

Clinging to the robes of the powerful won’t save you; and more surprisingly — it won’t save them.

“The World According to Doctrine” — “First Nations” is a term created to excuse

A favorite technique that Doctrine holders use to support their beliefs is to create categories that fit those beliefs. The fact that the first peoples to come to the Americas committed the same evil acts and atrocities as every subsequent group is suppressed by a “groupism” that denies historical fact – in favor of propagandizing.

“First Nations” is a term that sets people apart and above other people — the perfect “Nazism” for the New School Nazis.
