Thanks for reading it. We spent a several months thinking and discussing these solutions. We just have no idea how to create a movement so we are spamming our favorite comments sections (but we are paid subscribers) ;)
Seriously though, thank you. This is what we need to do. Discuss together how to end corruption.

Civil Service protects the bureaucracy that are not political appointees. However, due to some preferential hiring orders under some presidents (Bill Clinton comes to mind) people are hired into the permanent bureaucracy with political inclinations. These inclinations may make them more disposed to policies from the Left and make them ignore, slow down, or circumvent policies from the right. It's one reason an administration can have a great deal of difficulty in getting its programs put in place.
Trump's Cabinet secretaries were amazingly effective although they fought headwinds in their agencies. Trump told them to get rid of 2 regulations for every new one they implemented. Just easing up on regulations gave the economy a burst of energy.
Political appointees can be fired or discharged but civil servants can't be. It is too bad that Trump did not get rid of the political appointees at the CIA, FBI, etc. When Clinton became president one of his very first acts was to fire all the U. S. Attorneys.
The country is now so polarized that I doubt there are enough dispassionate people to fill non-political positions.
You're on the right track, but you fall for a common error. The issue is almost never competing political parties. The divide is between those who favor big government versus those who would reduce government. For reasons I hope would be obvious, the bureaucrat will tend to support continued or expanded funding and power of his agency.
In theory, most government positions were given protection against being at the mercy of the executive branch, to reduce the downsides of the patronage or spoils system. But that immunity only protects against political partisanship; it does nothing to address the problems of groups seeking to keep or expand their powers. For example, the problem of regulatory capture by Big Pharma or campaign contributions are independent of political party in power.
Realistically, it may be impossible to completely defend against these various issues, but there are probably ways to minimize it. But as I've pointed out, reform would be the very last thing those in power would ever approve of.
If you think reform is needed you are not understanding the concept. The concept has already been implemented and it did work. In Taiwan. They are able to keep the CCP out of their government using radical transparency ever since the 2014 sunflower revolution. Have you heard of it? Check it out. Think this idea through a little. It is not easy to grasp right away and you are forming surface level arguments. The government isn't involved here barely at all. Just the people. All we need to do is convince the people.
Sunflower revolution starts about 1/3 of the way into this short piece. :
You make some good points but I have a difficult time having a discussion with someone who chooses as a handle "Satan's Doorknob." I mean, really?
I'm having a debate within myself as to whether I should even respond to people on the threads who are so cowardly that they come up with handles to disguise their identifies.
I heard Dr. Carrie Majed speak about the nano particles in the "vaccines" were in fact nano robots that could be programmed remotely.
She was in an airplane crash last week.
Dr. Yeardon also spoke about this. There is an interview on EpochTV Facts Matter. You may want to watch it. Then, maybe there is a way for you to contact Dr. Yeardon.

Hey, Rationalist, do you think Satan is going to let this person open their doorknob to be able to read sense?
You are an optimist.
I donтАЩt know who you are Naomi but your sense of humor is vibing with me. Thanks for that.
I'm not sure who the I am either but my real first name is Naomi.
You make some good points but I have a difficult time having a discussion with someone who chooses as a handle "Satan's Doorknob." I mean, really?

Lol
Yikes. You think this is what you have?

Yes, you are right. Dr. Yeadon. I have no idea how to contact him.

I don't know how anyone here could help you. I certainly can't although I can be sympathetic.
