It is now coming out that some 75 American lawmakers have invested in companies which make and sell vaccines, tests and various treatments for Covid-19. Should we really be surprised? Obviously this raises – and answers – a lot of questions, such as why does Congress not act to stop the blatantly unconstitutional actions of Joe Biden? One would normally think, “Gee whiz! Why do they let a president walk right over the right of Congress to make laws? Why are we even hearing nonsense about presidential mandates? This violates every aspect of the Constitution!”

Well, if you haven’t figured it out before this – now you know.

So, you say, here is a reason why we need term limits! That’ll fix their wagon, as my dad used to say. Just don’t let them stay on the take so long. Well, what kind of deterrent would that actually be? I have often referred to one of Britain’s greatest comedy TV series, Yes, Minister. I highly recommend it to everyone who is interested in the workings of politics and government. Basically, it is the ongoing conflict between Jim Hacker, an elected Member of Parliament, and his various secretaries.  Spoiler Alert: Hacker almost never wins. The gist of it is that the wheels of government are basically spun by the un-elected civil servants. (And they would also know where to invest.) My point being that the more of a revolving door our Congress is, the more these un-elected people will exercise power. Nature abhors a vacuum, it has been said. The point made satirically in Yes, Minister, applies to our republic as well as the British Parliament. And when you get down to it, we have too much of this already. Most of the “laws” passed by Congress are vague things and all of the workings are left to various agencies, either already in existence or just made up for the purpose. We are governed by agencies, not by people we elect. Farmers can tell you that the EPA is a problem – judge, jury and executioner of the policies they make – supposedly pursuant to the direction of Congress. The IRS casts a long and ominous shadow over pretty much everyone, no matter how carefully they file returns. Question: would you rather have a conversation with your Congressman or Senator – whom you at least would seem to be voting on – or with an agent you pay but do not vote for, of the IRS? Well, that one was easy.

Now we are learning that the FDA is causing us a lot of grief. They seem to be very much in the thrall of the pharmaceutical companies, particularly Pfizer, approving or “sort-of” approving experimental “vaccines” whose development has not followed normal guidelines and whose approval violates FDA policies and requirements themselves. The “president” is “mandating” private companies to implement a policy of forced vaccination. I supposed to be accurate we could call it “coerced” vaccination, but it amounts to the same thing. If you cannot keep your job without it, that, I would say, is basically “forced”. We all know this is illegal. It violates just about every letter of the Constitution. For starters, the President is not authorized to make laws. Only Congress, the first branch of our government has this power. The second branch, the Executive, does not. We’ve complained a lot about the bleed-through of judicial activism, or the third branch, the Judicial, making law and policy, but until recently, we have seen less of this by a president. Now we are in free-fall, no holds barred. Anything goes.

Congress twiddles its thumbs as the country devolves into every aspect of lawlessness, from rioting to actual usurpation of its powers by a madman in the Oval Office. We are being dictated to by a feeble-minded puppet who can barely find the microphone into which he spews his orders to us. We are being told by an appointee, un-elected, of course, Anthony Fauci, the terms under which we may gather with our families over the holidays, just how much and exactly how we may celebrate. It has become ridiculous. Is there really anyone out there who would ever have believed they’d be ordered about this way back in, ah, 2019? What a ride down a dark tunnel.

We need to find ways to hold Congress and the Senate (mustn’t leave anyone out here) accountable for their self-enriching votes and for their failure to uphold the Constitution. Laziness covers some, but by no means all, of this. Only a couple of things could account for their behavior – threat of something (let’s say, for example, blackmail), and enormous personal gain. We are finding out that there are a lot of people who will come around every couple of years and humbly ask for our vote and then go back and watch us abused, our rights violated, the Constitution which was to protect us, trampled.

We’ve heard snippets of the hearings of Ron Johnson, who brought out a lot of testimony, first-hand, from those who have suffered vaccine injuries. While it is valuable to get this testimony on record and before the public, what, exactly, is Senator Johnson doing about this? Let me know if you hear anything. I get mail every day from Senator Rand Paul. Paul’s pitch is, “Hey, look at me! I poked Fauci in the eye! Look what he’s been doing! The American people have had enough of this! I need your help ($) to get Fauci fired! Are you with me?” Well, of course we’d like to actually see that, but Paul has been dragging this out with Fauci for months now, “getting him”, smirking through his little parry and thrust. All the time we realize that if Fauci were ever indicted Paul would need something else to reel in the money.

There are two attitudes toward Fauci at this point: 1) indict the bastard and throw him in the brig for life – he’s probably killed more people than Tamerlane, who before this held the record, and 2) meh. If Rand Paul is serious why doesn’t he act? I don’t say – I don’t know – that Paul has a stake in any pharmaceutical product, but he is definitely using Fauci as a fund-raiser. I would love to donate to the demise of Fauci, but not to the sideshow we see every day.

How, then, do we bring Congress to heel? How do we impress upon them that they are our servants, not the servants of Pfizer or Moderna, Gilead or Johnson & Johnson or the rest of them? It is a very good question. With presidents, they normally have their investments put into a blind trust. This is supposedly to ensure that their personal investments do not influence their actions while in office. If you don’t know where your money is, the theory goes, you can’t be manipulated by it. How “blind” this is I don’t know. And you can always do things “on spec” (like the characters from The Rockford Files, “Mickey Long” and “Eugene CConigliaro, who freelanced by taking out a mobster as a sort of promotional freebie), in hopes of a later reward. But at least it might deter some of this profiteering. Why not try doing this with members of the Senate and Congress? Why should the people actually charged with the responsibility of making laws get a pass if the Executive branch, the President, who only signs the bills, after all, be required to ensure his independence from his investments? It seems logical, at least.

As far as I am aware (let me know if I’m wrong on this) un-elected bureaucrats are not held to account for their investments. It would not seem that turning even more of the controls of government over to them via term limits ideas would fix any of this. In any case, it is a problem that needs some very serious consideration. And fast. Our freedom and our rights are dissolving before our eyes while these elected members of our Congress and Senate are having a laugh at us and counting their money.

Congress has authorized spending $6 trillion on Covid - “vaccines”, testing, etc., and have stood by and allowed life-saving drugs to be withheld from people who were suffering and dying. Six trillion dollars. Do you suppose some of that seeped into their pockets? The money comes from us. It benefits these lawless pharmaceutical companies. Congress has ensured that these companies are held harmless for the damage they do. What’s not to like there as an investment? Don’t we all see the elephant in the room – corruption? And it’s worse than corruption. It is murder. For profit.
