GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE


No. There is not. Government is anything but intelligent. Government intelligence is an oxymoron. Wikipedia defines an oxymoron as "a figure of speech that juxtaposes apparently contradictory elements (it is not however a contradiction in terms).

Barack Obama wants us to believe that the government has the competence to protect us from threats. The Obama administration and previous administrations have proved they are not capable of practically any protection. There is absolutely no reason to have any faith in our government to protect us. The government protects itself. Try to get the federal government to balance the federal budget, stop debasing the currency, act responsibly and follow the Constitution and you are put at the top of the IRS audit list. THAT is the government we have.

When someone asks the government directly for help ... the request is lost in a big fat federal government black hole. Ask the government to send in more troops to Benghazi for protection and what do you get? Nada. When four Americans die our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton does everything she can to protect her political career instead of answering hard questions. She might as well plead the Fifth Amendment. She tells a committee she knew nothing and states that it doesn't matter now. Typical federal government employee. They make a mess, state they didn't know anything about the mess and move on without learning anything from the mess. That is fine for the behavior of a toddler but not our federal government representative.

The Obama administration fights tooth and nail into any inquiry into what their administration is doing and they lie to further their political goals. Obama tells you that is "transparency" and you believe it because he has said it so many times. The ignorance of the American people is the only ingredient that Progressive/Marxist leaders need to have you go along with all their failed ideas and policies (and their ideas and policies have failed in countless countries since the beginning of time).


And what do you get from the Liar-In-Chief at the end of his "intelligence" speech on January 17, 2014?

The Obama administration will only trace phone calls from suspects TWO calls from the suspects instead of THREE.

So what do all your billions of dollars the federal government spends get you?

Tracing calls only two steps away from suspects.

That is about as good as the millions or billions Homeland Security spent coming up with the Homeland Security Advisory System with a color-coded terrorism threat advisory scale. Remember that one? It was scrapped because no one could figure it out. That is what you get when you put politicians in charge of things. Money is wasted, it doesn't work and whatever they created has to be scrapped. We need to reduce the size of the federal government not only because our everyday lives become politicized but because government is not designed with the proper incentives to create, run or implement anything except its own growth and ineptitude.

What about other government services. Don't we need the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) to regulate the securities industry? Unfortunately government incompetence is pervasive. Remember Bernard Madoff and the billions he stole from investors? The SEC was warned that there was no way Madoff was getting the returns he was getting and that if his trading strategy was being used, as he claimed, then he would have been trading about 100% of the options at one exchange. When traders were asked if they were trading options for Madoff at that exchange not one trader said he was trading options for Madoff. Evidently, when the boys at the SEC weren't watching porn they were busy ignoring the one staffer who actually asked his supervisors to investigate Madoff.

What does our federal government do well? The federal government politicians do one thing well. They redistribute our money to their special interest groups that keep them in power. We need to implement stricter term limits for all federal politicians (or the states need to succeed and start over with a new smaller federal government) and elect individuals that believe in us instead of big government.
