It seems I have a rather unique job. Mandatory training I dutifully complete every year reminds me of the strict federal regulations that govern the appropriate billing of my time on the job. I assure you that providing direct labor toward the election of my favorite candidates is not allowable. Clearly, however, there are a very large number of people employed by various governments across this “republic” that are not so encumbered by such restrictions (or ethics).
Backing up for a moment, it is worth noting that, in some form, this is nothing new. A generation or so ago is was an open secret that a portion of the legislated support for unions or certain industries was expected to find its way back to certain re-election funds. Hell, that was the small-scale model for the modern Ukraine scam. From that foothold of using government as a means to arrange campaign contributions is was only an obvious hop, skip, and jump to where we are today: using those in government to directly support your campaign.
Let’s take a look at todays example. It is no secret to any thinking being that there are thousands of workers in various government entities in this land that are working directly and in a coordinated fashion for the FJB reelection campaign. This particular timeline is too wonderful to pass up…so shallow and yet so intentionally blatant:
That might seem a odd until you read the rest of that line in that last link: “the day before the Super Tuesday slate of Republican election primaries.” Clearly the puppet masters behind FJB have outlined a detailed strategy to use these election interference cases for maximum benefit…and March 4 is very high on the list. (The rare curious investigative reporter might check communications with the virtual Obama compound to find some real collusion…but those of us among the casual observers who are willing to see already know that there in no reason to “set out to look for proof, either. Following the practice of the bluecaps, I would propose that they prove to us that this was impossible.”[1]) Of course, this little episode opens up lots of questions…starting with: How many people in county attorney offices and/or federal district courts and/or any number of government offices across this land are at the beck and call of the FJB puppet master central office? And then, the keen observer might ask, if you tallied up all of those labor charges…as would be appropriate in a not-fully-corrupt republic…how much in illegal campaign contributions have been made to the cause this year alone?
Of course, campaign finance regulation here has been a complete joke since McCain and Feingold traded a big old sloppy kiss to celebrate their unconstitutional trimming of our rights. Now, no one cares to even pretend that campaign finance regulation isn’t just a one way street moving against the closest thing we have to an anti-progressive party. These are truly pathetic, and very intellectually un-serious, times.
For the record, it would sure bring my spirits up a bit if – on the odd chance that you come across someone still around who voted for the “McCain–Feingold Act” – you could find it in your heart to please spit in the SOBs face. And if you come across the dolt who signed it into law…at the very least throw your shoe at his head.[2]

I do not know whether this is truth or calumny, or, if there were any such cases, how many there were. But I wouldn’t set out to look for proof, either. Following the practice of the bluecaps, I would propose that they prove to us that this was impossible. How else could they get food for the zoos in those famine years?” – The Gulag Archipelago Volume 1, Page 174
