Politicians and government bureaucrats are apparently required to take a course on intentionally deceptive naming conventions when they take office or take their first position in government.
How else can you explain the bizarre names of departments and of pieces of legislation that do the exact opposite of what their name implies?
Take Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act in 2022.
On the surface, it sounds like it would have reduced inflation which was at insane levels that year.
Did it help?
Not in the least. In fact, many allege that it made inflation worse.
Not to be outdone, though, there is the U.S. Institute of Peace which you would think would help to promote peace, a noble cause if ever there was one.
Except that the employees there weren’t acting terribly peacefully. An article by the BlazeTV Staff gives us details:
When the DOGE infiltrated the USIP in March of this year, the agency erupted into chaos.
“They barricaded themselves in the offices. They sabotaged the physical infrastructure of the building. There were reports of there being loaded guns within offices. There was one hostage situation where they held a security guard under basically kind of a false imprisonment-type situation,” says Beattie.
“In the course of all of that, they tried to delete a terabyte of data, of accounting information that would indicate what kind of stuff they were up to, what kind of people they were paying.”
Thankfully, the DOGE was still able to uncover a major scandal: “One of the people on their payroll was this curious figure who had a prominent role in the Taliban government,” says Beattie, referring to Halimi.
On top of that, the DOGE discovered that “that one of the U.S. Institute of Peace’s main policy agendas was basically lamenting the fact that the opium trade had dissipated under Taliban leadership.”
So, DOGE investigates, looking for ways to save money, and employees in that part of the Federal government take a security guard hostage with reports of loaded firearms in the office of what sounds like a non-law enforcement organization?
It’s just mind boggling, and you have to wonder why the legacy mainstream media, who hates guns, hasn’t covered this story extensively.
And, then, you begin to wonder if those “news” sources who won’t go near a story like this telling about blatant government corruption (and with guns, too!) were on both the USIP and USAID’s payrolls.
A note for those anti-2A people who may have actually read this far: this kind of corruption in government is one of the big reasons that the founding fathers put the Second Amendment in the Bill or Rights in the first place.
In that light, it only makes sense to have the Second Amendment, doesn’t it?
