Meet Your Czars XI

A Czar is a person of high political office appointed by the Executive Branch without being confirmed by Congress. Czars, by Administration, are thus numbered:

Gerald Ford: 2
Jimmy Carter: 2
Ronald Reagan: 1
Bush I: 2
Bill Clinton: 8
Bush II: 33
Barack Obama: 38

It is the opinion of Warehouse Worker! that our Czars are a manifestation of the international business community, created as a vehicle to circumvent the last vestiges of an American Representative Republic. Today’s Czar is Cass Sunstein, appointed by Barack Obama.

Cass Sunstein is a Jew who both graduated from and teaches at Harvard University, where he excels at validating stereotypes. Cass advocates for a totalitarian-communistic system of government where, of course, he and his friends are in charge. To facilitate the emergence of such a government, typically emerging only from a radical democracy, Cass advocates extending legal rights to animals, including ferrets.

Cass eagerly explains how a powerful government is very good for us:

"There is no liberty without dependency. [snip] Rights to private property, freedom of speech, immunity from police abuse, contractual liberty and free exercise of religion—just as much as rights to Social Security, Medicare and food stamps—are taxpayer-funded and government-managed social services designed to improve collective and individual well-being."

Warehouse Workers sometimes wonder how our rights to speak our minds and own our residences are tax-payer funded and government-managed. Inspired by Federalist Paper #46, we have developed mechanisms to provide our own immunity from police abuse through the tools made available to us at Walmart. So maybe one of us will attend Harvard someday to figure out what the hell Cass is talking about.

Cass successfully reinforces the paranoid stereotype:

"The existence of both domestic and foreign conspiracy theories, we suggest, is no trivial matter, posing real risks to the government’s antiterrorism policies, whatever the latter may be. [snip] the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups [snip] Government agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action."

OK Cass, here is one for you. Having experience in the Middle East, I am not sure that Muslims are smart enough to have pulled off the 9-11 attacks without outside help. I believe that their most likely accomplice would have been those forces that, for whatever reason, seek to expand domestic security agencies to more closely police native-born American males. These agencies would include the Department of Homeland Security (2002) and Northern Command (2002).

Cass goes on to explain that conspiracy theories may be based in fact. Cass labels persons who question the motives behind the 9-11 attacks as ‘extremists’. And extremists, of course, are bad guys.

As Czar, Cass is in charge of our information.
