Summary
Mark Koernke discussed infrastructure failures and government accountability on December 26, 2016. The show covered sinkhole problems in Fraser, Michigan caused by faulty sewer system installation, water quality issues across the country including the Flint water crisis, and the role of corruption and lack of accountability in government projects. Callers raised concerns about fracking's impact on water tables, illegal immigration's strain on resources, and crumbling infrastructure. Koernke emphasized that traditional bonding systems and proper oversight mechanisms could prevent fraud and ensure quality work, and argued that slowing down government projects and enforcing accountability would solve many systemic problems.

A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said. We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and sh- number. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize it. family farm and keep our country. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. You prayed to God, freedom bright as Iowoc, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave of the land of the f- and ultra technologies and west of the mississippi good afternoon to our friends and the great state of jefferson keep up the good work those jefferson two dollar bills from the wallets from the cashier forth moving around and reinforcing jefferson jefferson jefferson every day every hour of the day twenty four seven like it's kind of slowed down for a little while was what's it like in your neck of the woods what's the day today was jumping off the wall there please hey it's day in Canada I can't help but do that on this the 26th. Those poor kangaroos. Yeah, again, look out for the ruse. The 26th day of December, year of our Lord 2016 and it's turned into a rather blustery evening and on into the night. Well this should, a lot of times, is the calm after, you know, air warms up. Well, air's warming up somewhere and it's moving from here to there. it's pretty windy this evening and into the night. Again, 26th December 2016. We don't have to dwell on this you guys, but we could talk about Florida on occasion. I tell you that, well Mark, the television is on over there in case California slides into the sea or Florida sinks into the sea. Now those are both geographic possibilities. not necessarily the ocean doesn't have to rise, I'm not talking about icebergs and things like that and future weather calamities, it's just Florida could sink into the sea, you guys. Florida is almost seemingly one giant sinkhole held up here and there by bits of stone that's being lapped away by the water underneath it. In California we know about that, I saw that movie in the San Andreas Fault and all of that, but we knew about that before the movie. We talk about, you know, I bring that up as kind of a goofy comparison, you know, the reason the television is on in the background. But you know what's going on up in Frayser, Michigan, Mark? It happened about six years ago, but it's happening right now as we speak, you guys. This is about six years ago in Frayser, Michigan, Mark. You might remember this. This is north and east of UOAs. Not very far, you know. Certainly within, you know, some of the early Wright Brothers' life. after they had five and ten gallons on board. About eight years ago there was this big sink hole in an apartment building almost sank into it and it was in the road and everything and nobody died and it was a disaster but we don't want it to be a catastrophe. Those are the words from the mayor there today because there's a sink hole, now that sink hole you guys, it was man-made. Don, because when they put the sewer system in, the one eight years ago, well it had major leaks in it and it just washed out all kinds of underground sand first, well they'd laid the pipe. There was so much market, moved the gravel and then well it started moving stuff overhead. You know, like a classic sinkhole. And then everybody became aware of it. Oh, that was again about eight years ago over there in Fraser, Michigan. But today, Fraser, Michigan condemned a small portion, about 20 or 30 houses, small portion of a neighborhood. Very same reason, you guys. I'm wondering the companies that laid all these pipes into there, they've probably gone out of business, or they're probably so huge now that from doing shoddy work and making all that money that lawsuit, Brazier, Michigan, condemned about 20 houses because of the plumbing that's about 50 feet underground, the major sewer system lines, and failing for a long time, and now they're worried about just the contamination of that neighborhood should this decide to take a different out these pools of ooze underground, what one might call subterranean, if you know what happens around pig farms, these subterranean lagoons. And they're worried about the rivers around there. But again, one of the people that this first came to his attention, Mark, he said he was hearing weird noises and the garage door wouldn't open. And he went in the basement and watched the basement wall crack and the floor heave like, you know, Like he's on board a ship and you're watching the deck twist. And he, listen you guys, he said he started going in and out of the house and taking stuff out of the house once he realized what was going on. Because the brick walls on the outside were collapsing and rather starting to look kind of like a very flat V. But you know, showing that sign like a V. And him and his family, this is one of them, this major house affected so far. Moving stuff out of the house, mark until the policeman told him he can't go in there anymore because it's unsafe to go in there. So they got good portions of their valuables out, but this goes back over to a shoddy workmanship, this goes back over to, you know, if it isn't done right over time it can really hurt. The other side of that is even if it's done right, for time if it's neglected, if it's not paid attention to, now we can talk on completely different subject matter. falls into that basic, what is that basic rule of nature Mark? That which is left unto itself will deteriorate, will entropy, return back to nature. Dripping water on sugar cubes, just think of it that way. Have you ever seen wood where it's been exposed like that for year after year after year and it literally is melted back to nature? I'm talking about rotted back to nature. I'm talking melted, like finished wood, like a chair or a piece of furniture left outside or probably wasn't outside. The building left the same way, seriously. And it's like, you know, just imagine only in this case, well, you know, the upper parts of Michigan are rife with line tunnels. Guys, we're sitting on a line bed. The whole state of Michigan is on a line bed, kind of like the same situation that really exists with Florida. Underground rivers, lakes, and and other aquifers that connect saltwater passageways are all over the place. Well, the erosion is constant. The minerals do go somewhere. I mean, they are taken out and deposited someplace. That hole keeps getting bigger and at a certain point, those underground supports cease to exist. Now, the man-made project, it can work exactly the same way. So again, prior proper planning prevents piss-poor performance. Consider this. We've talked about this when putting culverts or even when doing underground caches or underground bunkers. Underground just covering concealment accommodations for the short term. You have to know what your water table volume is, what your real levels are. For instance with caching, you know that you probably were never shown it, but if you know anything about caching, part of your kit has to include stakes and cables. Oh yeah, well you bury something watertight and it's maybe full of stuff, but it's still water slash airtight so it doesn't get wet. It floats in the soil, guys. That means it floats, yeah. This is why tires come up. Yeah. From frost heaving them up. There's another reason for stakes and cables. And the stakes and cables are designed so that literally when you're in like marsh, because so everybody goes, well, hide it in the swamp, still never find it there. Well, if they wait long enough, they don't have to search too hard. And so if you do that, rivers are obvious, but they actually do underwater cashing, where you take stakes and cables and you lash to the riverbed or to the lakebed the material that you want to conceal. If you're in swamps, though, you have to treat it the same way. And if you have a high water table, you have to treat it the same way. Because it is semi- it's viscous, it's semi-liquid. It will actually allow for objects which are, again, lighter or buoyant in nature to move up and through the material. Now, it may take time, but you see with pressure upward, gravity sucks, the material follows the path of least resistance, sloughing sideways away from the object and from its highest point. and barrels or even boxes or whatever kinds of containers as long as they have the ability to stay airtight, they have the ability to float. That elegant case. And with material inside that sealed it again, remember if you do it the way you're supposed to do it right, even if the container is eventually compromised, The individual containers inside are still viable. And just because it's compromised doesn't mean that it loses its air volume. It just means that there may be an issue with regard to, again, displacement, or a limited amount of displacement, but the containers inside compensate for the failure of the first layer of defense. Mark. And we've got a caller. Who do we have? Yeah, it's Orson Texas. You know one of the bills that's in The next Texas legislature because of flooding that happened, they didn't talk about this but they're starting to say that cemeteries near rivers and where a low water table is, that it's mandatory there be concrete outer caskets now because too many graves are floating down the river. caskets were floating down the river. We already heard of that. Well, we've had that here in Michigan. Yeah, we had here, we have a cemetery that's along the river here in Dexter, and years and years ago, when I was much, much, much, much younger, we had a little incident where the creek did rise. So did a few boxes. There's an older part of the cemetery and a newer part of the cemetery. And here in Michigan, the concrete current is standard, like the cement casket box, so you want to think about it, is mandatory. There's two reasons for that. It's to keep things in and to keep things out. Yeah. The cemetery is pleasant. You don't have that eerie glow and that strange smell. What are all those chemicals rising from the soil? When I'm here the cemetery is far away. Go ahead, caller. You know, Mark and Don, this water problem that Don's been talking about I mean, who's responsible for that, Mark and Don? There's got to be someone needs to go to prison. If someone's drinking bad water and it could have been fixed earlier, for lack of a better word. Doesn't somebody in power need to see some jail bars? I mean, you know, people are dying from this. Well, let's look at the statistics here because, you know, there's for X amount of people, there's X amount of food has to go in and because X amount of food goes in, X amount of here comes, waste comes out. Now, this is, this is like an arbor or These are given numbers, you guys. This isn't something that is unknown. These are factored in when they figure out the size of pipes, where the lift stations are going to be. You know what a lift station is, don't you? That's when they're moving that pipe along that has an ever so slight drop in it so it gets to the next place. That means it's getting deeper and deeper in the ground, and these pipes were more than 50 feet down. Now, eventually it has to come up. So there are pumps that pump it up. That's a lift station. Sometimes you'll see lift stations in the bottoms of expressway overpasses or where the expressway goes down underneath and the road above stays flat. No doubt there's a water lift station there someplace or that drain goes down even farther. But they count the electricity that has to work through this station. These are things that are all charted out, you guys. They should have known that, gee, we don't have enough. The city municipal people should have said, our electric bill is so cheap compared to everybody else with the city. I wonder where all that electricity isn't needed. Oh, you mean it's not going to those lift stations? And gee, that makes me wonder where all that doo-doo is going. So somebody should be blamed, you're right. Somebody should be blamed. Because these are predictables and these are assessables. You can assay them. You're right. Somebody should be hanged for that. I just, you know, I mean a lot of people have died. I mean, I, yeah, I mean, I, Again, it's getting worse every day. I mean, all of southeast Michigan, for crying out loud, has got bad water. No, it doesn't have bad water. Come on, I've talked about it. We've discussed this many times. Mostly it doesn't really have any different water from what it had 10 years ago, 20 years ago or whatever. The problem is the management end and even there, most of it's a lie. We had this conversation again over the weekend. Remember a couple years ago, it's been a little under two years ago, the old bummer met with governors and mayors all over the country and specifically with mayors about destroying 10 major American cities, literally destroying them. and they had a whole scam set up and planned for it. Do you remember what the first city was that they were going to tear down? Flint. And they just said, don't worry, we've got a whole plan for scamming everybody on this. Well, you just saw an election where Hillary was supposed to win and you were told you didn't need to go to vote. But everybody keeps listening to all these programs that are being done by the same line-controlled media, and most all of it is canned, and all of it is, again, very much disingenuous yellow journalism to begin with. The lead scam right off the bat, guys, lead content is the same for pretty much and worse in a lot of other areas, if you want to call it worse, but it's all based upon the EPA lying their ass off and changing all of the numbers. They literally have altered what it is that's quote unquote, allowable on the way of lead. Well, nobody can meet the standards and they know this. But this was part of Bummer's Agreement to put money in the back pocket of a handful of kosher pigs. and a handful of government officials at the local level in the states and scam us for a bunch of money and destroy whole metropolitan areas. Now, Detroit they did, piecemeal, but this is where they actually take the face mask off and talk about literally destroying, you know, tearing down two-thirds of the city of Flint. Now, I covered this one in a half, but we were talking about how to keep repeating this. That's the whole agenda behind this. All the rest of the water stories, well let's tie something else into this. Number one, a lot of the counties in the area tied into the Detroit Water System, the Wayne County Water System, which Detroit is in Wayne County. Why? It really didn't make any sense. Flint had its own water system. On the other hand, this was all part of federal funding and a lot of other money scams that were going on and all of the money that was ripped off went to, oh that's right, Oakland County. which you'll notice isn't talked about. Why is that? Well, because Oakland County is where all the OY boys are and all the money is that originally was in Detroit or in Flint or in Pontiac and or in the outlying. There's one or two other outlying little kosher enclaves. But Oakland County is one of the richest counties in the United States. It is either number one or number two non-stop. They're a ripoff artist crew, guys. All these stories and all this garbage about the water. We're in Michigan. Nancy, my wife is from that area. Okay. Well, I misspoke when I said bad water. I shouldn't have said that. What I should have said was the water that comes out of the tap. I mean, well, it's still not... Okay, problem. The water issues are because, again, who's been managing the place? Really, what it comes down to is this. In the past, under our American system, in order for you to get a government job, you had to get a personal bond. Now that's what you're talking about. Shouldn't somebody pay? That's what a personal bond was all about. You had to be bonded. You had to be, you know, again, you had to have the ability to back up a stumble, or again, the possibility of you being fined or charged, and you would be through the bond, and of course you were paying on that. The thing is, the way they went around, all these corporations that were designed to undermine our bond system, and they were also designed to, of course, attack our private property rights. And so by states and villages and towns picking up the posted bond that's supposed to be covered by the individual, then you and I are ensuring ourselves to pay for ourselves, which is ridiculous. It's around Robin. It was a scam. Originally, this is how you kept people accountable. You get really motivated when you might lose your ass, you might lose whatever you got because you see the bond company come after you in a number of different ways. It's kind of like the banks, we've talked about reverse order when if you want to get rid of somebody as a problem that's in the government, just file a lawsuit against them and make it really rock solid and send all the paperwork to the banks. And to the credit bureaus, you don't have to worry, the banks will take everything from the character all on their own because they want to be there first, and they'll foreclose. Even if the guy claims, I paid everything on my loan, I'm up to date, it's like, yeah, but the loan is, the property is in question, so we have to take it back before you lose it. Now the same is true in reverse order, if you muck up, like if you can demonstrate, okay, these guys all are supposed to know their job. Then the people who actually approved it, which by the way there had to be inspectors, inspectors go. Were they all given little brown envelopes or really fat pudgy brown envelopes to not do their job? Well, they're not going to get punished because traditionally they're not doing anything like that anymore. It's like, oh, let's not get upset. After all, it's only taxpayers' money. Well, the reason why I squawk about it is because I'm in Michigan a lot. And to be quite honest with you, when I drink water from Michigan, it's some of the most atheist water I've drank anywhere. Yeah, up from New York, Wisconsin, Michigan. That water is delicious. Up from New York, the water is delicious. Wisconsin, delicious. Up from Michigan, delicious. So I have a hard time understanding what all this is about. Well of course gravity goes downhill. Remember we're in the bottomlands down here in the southeast. Because we're in southeastern Michigan. I'm in Washtenaw County. We're in southeastern Michigan. We actually have good water. Most of the places do. Let me point this out to you again. Go to St. Louis. Don't drink the water there. Always remember that when you drive around as a truck driver. The water tastes normal. It doesn't taste anything strange. And it's one of the Midland facilities for all those very famous chemical companies that did things like Agent Orange and stuff. And even in the McDonald's, they used to have on the sign right there, they'd have it printed out in those letters, you know how they map it out with their own letters, do not drink the water in this town, talk to us. That's at the McDonald's right there on the main drag hit at East West. So again, that doesn't get any news coverage. And it's far more dangerous, that water is far more dangerous than Flint water ever will be. Okay, and it's already been that way. It's been that way for a long, long time, for years and years and years, and everybody knows about it. Except obviously the controlled media, they don't talk about it. Mark. There's a lot of other worst places in Michigan, and the problem is that they are up north. Example again, Aronack County, I keep mentioning this, Aronack County has crystal, well, not as crystal clear as it used to be, they fracked up there. They did all the fracking and did the hydro pumping. I was just going to say, anywhere they fracked, the water tastes like you know what. But the Sierra NAC, everybody used to drink out of wells. Everything was beautiful. We almost bought a radio station up there. And then guess what? All the water, if you want to drink water, it's all got to be bottled water and all got to be trucked in. So what does that tell you? That's not north of Flint. Did you get any coverage on that? No, because the oil companies and the ring knockers make sure you don't hear about that. But when the government wants to tear down a place or mess up a place or has got a power freak thing going on, boy, they'll bang the gong like there's no tomorrow. Mark? We got Georgia, go ahead. You know, the thing is, we had like about a, I know there was a well that was going to go down the street, I was on oil well, it was going to be a fracking thing. We put a stop that real quick down here. And the thing is, shortly after this, when Greg Abbott became the governor, Governor Perry refused to sign the bill, but veto the bill, but Governor Greg Abbott signed it because counties were banning fracking all over Texas and the state legislature told the counties, you know, you can't ban fracking, but still the counties are saying, hey, we're still going to carry out the bans, so there's still like a, there's going to be a constitutional crisis in Texas over this fracking, because a lot of counties. ban of fracking but the state legislature is trying to override the county's will. The short-term problem is, again, what is it going to do to the wells that are run by the farmers who in many cases in states, especially the great, great plain states down from Texas all the way up to the Dakotas, is how it changes the water table. In and of itself, Jeff, by itself, how it alters the water table. Well, that of course, if they were dependent upon that for compensating, which they typically do, for lack of water or low water seasons, you don't pump for the sake of pumping. But you do use enough of it for those off parts of the season that you keep production up. Well, that's going to kill that. Not only that, but the other part of it is the wells are for livestock. We've got massive cattle grazing operations in all of the western states. And if you're pumping up swill, that swill's going into the critters and that can't happen either. So this is where the problem is, is again, the sidebar is, well yeah, you get the short term or whatever effects for however long with the oil pumping that's being done. But the damage done below service, even though it's out of sight, it is not out of mind. It's going to continue to affect many other elements of the environment. Just something as weird as that. Remember they had a bunch of the early Titan silos and complexes. in the plain states, about four or five different locations like this. And what they did is they, because they had to destroy them under the salt agreements, everybody remember the salt agreements? Because of that, the strategic limitation, they blew out the silos. Well nobody thought about it until after the fact beforehand they were pumping water no problem. They blew out the silos and just the effect of shattering that strata of stone which the silos were cut into completely changed the water table and most of the farmers lost their fresh water supply. Now that's just something as simple as a man-made series of nothing but pits made out of concrete, steel reinforced concrete, etc. These complexes were destroyed to satisfy the SALT agreement, but destroyed local farming and totally changed all the costs and expenditures. Some farmers were out of business because they couldn't afford to drive new wells. Well, they're already on the edge of going out of business to begin with and then they got hit with a problem from the late, late 80s with the dump on the agricultural industry because of the attack on Saddam Hussein. cut off a whole lot of exports in massive quantities. Biggest exporter we had, beyond Russia, was guaranteed exporter was Iraq. Well, these farmers were hit about the same time and guess what? A lot of them just went under. There can be any number of other man-made situations that can create that problem. And that's way out in the middle of nowhere. The big issue with a lot of the metropolitan areas is Who's got whatever kind of scam going on? How do we contain them? No matter what they are. This is where the bond issue comes back in. We used to regulate all these characters to keep them in check because there would be punishment. And yes, they could go to jail. They're not too worried about that anymore. They figure they got everybody they're bought and paid for or they're bought and paid for. Yeah, but the problem is water makes life. You gotta have clean water. If they're playing games, they need to be behind bars. period. Now he's got a whole pile of wreckage and all kinds of problems and if everything goes the way it's supposed to, the EPA is going to get kicked in the crotch. Well now all of his deals are going to fall through and yeah, he's probably made some shekels, but the big payoff isn't going to come and he's ruined how much of that city. What's that worth putting him in jail for? But you see, they never will because, well, these were just decisions that were made. Yeah, well, they were harmful decisions. and his failure to properly do his job but instead betray the community is one of the reasons he needs to go to jail. Well, I got news for you Mark. Like I said, I've been to every state at least 25 times, maybe more. I lost count. Everything from Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas, Oregon, New York, on down, the water tastes like, you know what? I mean, the only states anymore were clean water out of the tap. is the upper states. Everything else south, forget about it. It's horrible. The whole country's gone to hell with this fracking in the water. There's a huge water table and all the states are affected. I mean, it's just, it's, fracking's ruined everything. Well, the interesting thing is you've got a whole bunch of other supposed oil discoveries here, which by the way they knew 20 years ago. But they're putting out there now for everybody to see. And of course the only option they have to supposedly recover this oil is going to be fracking. Which I don't see, I believe that one of the things about it is the cheapest way for them without any repercussions because people can't see the damage is fracking. There are other traditional techniques with new modifications and improvements to the deep well technology that could be used, but it's not the lazy man's way out. That's part of the problem here. And again, remember it's, you know, whatever they can where they can get away with it. Nobody has a clue about what's going on. They're going to continue to operate that way. That's what they're doing. Whoa. Yeah. I mean, you go, you, you, uh, on the, uh, what is it? The I, I 40, you go to Amarillo, Texas. And about 30 miles before Amarillo, there's a 5,000 head cattle farm sitting right there by the side of the highway. You can smell it 20 miles away. What do you think all that waste is going, it goes right through the ground into the water table? Right, the aromatic part of your smelling is the pumping station where it's leaking. Exactly. That stench of your smelling is, because we've seen, well of course we've got them just north of us, just outside of Lansing, Michigan. one of the pump points for the activity here. And I'll tell you what, about a good three miles away, in a good wind day, you can figure out exactly where it is, points on the compass. Then take but a moment. So I understand what you're talking about. And the problem is, again, will there be any change with this administration coming up? That's the only thing. Who's next? In other words, who's next? Just like the song. Who's next? We'll see. I don't know that there's gonna be an improvement there, but... And again, people will lament about it. We can't lament until we get into the next administration, then we can really piss and moan. But you got 20 million illegals over here eating our food. So now we have to grow more cattle, more food, more everything else. I mean, this puts such a strain on everything. This is why all this is happening. You get rid of these... You know friggin wetbacks and yeah a lot of this will go away You know, well immediately you have a job shift issue where all of a sudden Everybody would have to fill because every say well we're doing jobs. Nobody else to do. No. No, you're Displacing Americans that would do the job That's where the problem is. That's what's been going on That is the biggest issue that we're dealing with right? That's one of the but it's it's it's over neighborhood kid would be cutting the lawns around the neighborhood again instead of some group of grown men. Yeah, yeah. Just like we used to do when we were kids. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Because those guys would have real jobs. Well, that's one of the other things that, again, the question here, like, first we have to have accountability. That's something you always hear, but they always give lip service to. They never follow through on. The bottom line is we need to have accountability in order for any of this to function. We had a system in place, it worked well, it actually goes back to the inception of the creation of the country. And needless to say, that's why it's vilified and attacked, because it also puts the Shaster in check. How many places have we heard where they've lost millions of dollars? I mean, the more leftist it is, the more the money is lost. I mean, by literally the bucket. In fact, uncounted. And the level of theft just is repeated over and over and over again. Yeah, you don't hear Trump talking about any of that. Yeah, well somebody just brought up something else. Well, again, the accountant... There are too many things for Trump to talk about. This is something that everybody has had an issue with for quite some time. The way that Trump will be told to talk about it is if everybody makes the effort to find out when or not he's going to listen. And that means people telling him that it's the problem. But you see, there are so many levels or layers of this onion with regard to the problem. We already know the end result issues right now in the later part of this game. If you address them, they can take up hours. I mean, of time, just in going over, reviewing, and also mulling over. Just to say, hey, look at the issues we have at hand. Of course, now these have to do with social agendas, which are undermining the basic concepts of the country. We aren't teaching our form of government to begin with. But then on top of that, the actual functional components, the mechanism that make things work, which I've talked about for years. It's like, how does something work? How did it work? How has it worked before? Well, two things. Number one, no bum rush, no fast, and everything accounted for. One of the biggest problems, and it came up especially, it started with Bush 1. It really was kind of around in the 70s, but very, very limited is unaccountable bonds from the government. In other words, emoluments slash cash gifts. By the time the Clintonistas came in, and when they started pumping it, Bush, of course, initiated first with his anti-gun stuff, Bush 1. He started pushing money under the table and around as emoluments with no accountability to try and get the gun ban thing going. Well, when he didn't get his second official term, then Clinton took over. Well, Clinton, the grants, a traditional grant would take nigh on half a year to fill out the paperwork for. It also required inspections and accountability and everything was monitored. Well, once the socialist giveaway pigs got in there, all the accountability step by step was destroyed. And in many cases, it is what finally did destroy Detroit. Whereas before, there would have been, say, $10 billion in bond money given to Detroit, every aspect of whatever was going to be done, every nail, every gallon of paint, how it was used. You couldn't get away with what these kosher pigs did out of Oakland County. They would hire a guy off the street who basically smelled the booze. They would buy a paint gun from Harbor Freight, a Chinese paint gun. They would buy whatever bargain basement cheap butt paint they had and they would be given a contract to paint the projects. And I've brought this up many times. This is during those $10 billion dollar bucket grants where everybody just walked around with five gallon pails of cash and made it disappear. Well they had some hack company out of Oakland County, Jewish Mafia, okay, they're all sheisters, and they would pay this guy to basically look like he stood in the middle of the room and paint the room in a circle, going around a circle, paint the walls, paint the windows, you know, over spray the windows by almost a foot. Paint right over all the plugs. Paint the switches so you couldn't shut the lights off or turn them on. And paint the doors, shut. The doors were like once you come out of the bedroom and paint that just the same way, then when they came out and went through the living room and out the door, everything had a coat of gooby paint on it. Do you know what you got charged for that? The American taxpayer was charged $27,900 per apartment in the projects. Do you think they got $27,000 worth of paint in that room? Oh no. Now you tell me and what it was no accountability Nobody was taking the task on it and another ten billion was waddling by Bill Hillary so they could pay their Jewish counterparts in the Detroit and Wayne County area and they weren't from Wayne County They're all from Southfield and you know Bloomfield Hills and Oakland County This is why Oakland County is the richest County in the United States not because they're producers but because they're commercial parasites, a lot of them that steal from Pontiac, Flint, and Detroit and other surrounding areas where they've got to rack it down. The areas never fully improve. If they do, it's very selective and very minor, and it's purely window candy with no depth, and everything else will have to go to hell in a hand cart. That's not an accident. But there's again, why the lack of accountability? Were these grants in the traditional form, which by the way, all of the structure for doing this is still in place in our government. There are many traditional grants, but they weren't just money hand over fist. You had to have a specific purpose. You had to have a specific expenditure. You were going to do something. You would propose it. Then you would demonstrate how you were going to do it, then you would execute it, and then it would be inspected to ensure that you did it exactly the way it was proposed. All that got thrown out the window by these turds. So again, it's not just the end problem, it's how to, once we, if we were to fix this tomorrow, how would we keep it on course? Well, the system actually is still there and it's something that goes back to how did the bridges, somebody always says, how do the bridges get done whenever they tell you, we need communism or we need this and it's like, well, here's how it worked. Whatever activity took place was not so that someone could suck the American tit dry. It was very narrow and very specific. Oh, and by the way, you could also get a bond. If you built a bridge, Yeah, once you were in operation, let's say after 20 years you might need a maintenance bond. You shouldn't because your local budgets should accommodate that new fixture that you purchased, that bridge or that, you know, again, that toll road or whatever. Yeah, toll road, money should be going right back into it. And then you should have a little bit of a profit so you could actually benefit the operations. But the way most toll roads, if they were government run or any project was, that the money was supposed to regulate the fees so they were not excessive and so that you didn't have a surfeit of money. In other words, you didn't have excess. It was supposed to be just enough to do maintenance and cover the cost. They're selling the tall roads to overseas investors. Right, which of course, remember, this is where Perry comes in. This is where we see what's going on with Trump. Perry was doing just that, that dirty prostitute, that stinking rat. was tied in with the Mexican drug cartels and the Mexican president and was ready to hand all of Texas' roads over to Spain. What gets me is that Alex Jones, and I don't normally drop any names, but Alex Jones' network covered this when it happened. Does anybody remember? We were all chiming in on this. And yet, they know that Perry was brought in by, or is being brought in by Trump, and Perry is known to all of them to be as dirty as the day is long. Why are they not pointing this out? Who, by the way, is going to be in Trump's cabinet, Governor Perry. Perry, that's what I'm saying. Perry is a flat-out criminal. In fact, the only reason he would be in any government post like that is so he could do to the United States on a grander scale what he wanted to finish doing with Texas. Hey Mark, I got a question. You know, I know which, the truck driver, huh? Have you ever went down to Long Island Expressway? Yeah, once a month. I mean, isn't it always, there's always coffee road work going on in the expressway, isn't there? Oh, no, that's one of the worst roads in the nation. That's a horrible road. I mean, because I hear it's always coffee road work going on there, and it's like, Sometimes the road work don't need to be done, but they just make work projects. Yeah, I just went through Oklahoma, same thing. The roads are perfect and they're doing road work. It just drives you nuts. Got that in the same part of Michigan, Mark? Well, we were just having that conversation right now. The Fed is actually, of all people, the Fed's been coming in and going after certain companies here in southeastern Michigan because our roads are notoriously, shall we say, unique. Read that crappy. And the only issue there is it's a matter of whether somebody's paying attention to how many shovels and buckets of sand are going into the cement mix in place of Portland cement. You know what I mean? They know that the loads are where they are. They've always had axle issues. Michigan has allowed for a greater way down the road. Part of this is because of our steel haulers in state, our intra-state, not interstate. But because of that, it has beat the snot out of the roads and they try to always lament, clap and complain about it being the drivers like the one that's on the phone here right now. You know that it's always the interstate drivers. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's those big multi-axle, now very well camouflaged steel trucks, which they've done a better job of camouflaging here in Michigan than they ever did in the past. What they do is they cover the trailer with canvas. They make it look like a canvas trailer. They make it look like a box truck. Right. Yeah. But all you've got to do is look down and count the axles. You don't have those many axles on your truck for a reason, you see. And that's the difference. But they beat the snout out of the roads and yes, we've had a big problem across the line for a long, long time. And part of it is that we do have a concrete mafia. In fact, one of the dons died here, he actually, he physically retired, he actually did retire, he can't say he died, he maybe did now. But he divvied up the company because they were handing the contract off to some other mafiosa. And there was a whole bunch of money that was handed out which they either had to give it back to the government or they had to dole it out because of the way that the corporation was set up. So they ended up handing money, but they also had to end up handing money over to the actual employees. So that was quite a to-do and that's been more than a few years now. But Mark, how many times have you driven, you've been all over this country probably 50 times, I mean how many times have you been on a road and there's road work and the road is perfect? Oh yeah, I-94, God knows that, we've got I-94 between Ann Arbor, Michigan, actually the Dexter exit of Baker Road, all the way beyond Jackson, Michigan. But the stretch between Ann Arbor and Jackson, brand new construction, baby butt road, best it's ever been, three months after, not even that, a month and a half after they finish the construction, they're tearing apart the brand new construction. Now the rest of the road needs to be repaired, but they don't do it. There's obviously a money pit program where somebody lives there or somebody's got the big ring knocker shackles running. and they rebuild and re-destroy and re-destry, but the wealth only goes right there. Now the rest of the 94 has had work done to it, and right now I'd say the western half is the best it's probably looked in my lifetime. But I would also point out for some bizarre reason it's also the place that stretch of road beyond Battle Creek, where we've had more people killed on 94 than any other part of it, and it's the only place where we have pile-ups. Yeah, you haven't even talked about the 75 yet. Yeah, well the 75 is again the industrial corridor and you know two things it gets the interstate and again It's the steel hauling corridor. That's why it gets beat this time. In fact, you're a north-south driver in 75 North of Ann Arbor all the way up to Fenton, that stretch right there horribly beat down. And the stretch between Ann Arbor and Brighton, Michigan, especially because what they did is they laid down experimental roads, several different types, and never pulled them up when they laid over the next concrete, well actually asphalt. And so the stuff breaks up and breaks up and it wasn't until one stretch was so bad that they laid it down and within three weeks The whole area would be busted up again. Well, it's because they put a sandwich grade cement and a resilient surface compound and then ash bulb. It's like an Oreo cookie. Well, the Oreo cookie doesn't bleed well as it oozes out the side. And so no matter how many times they tried to seal it, they, you know, to try and layer over it, which is traditionally what you do when you have a concrete road, they couldn't do that. So they had to dig everything up for several miles, many miles, and take all of that old material out and dispose of it somewhere. And then, because it's not cement and it's not asphalt, and then turn around and redid it. I've seen trailers with eight axles, Mark, going up and down that 75. Eight axles. Oh yeah? I mean, you gotta ask yourself, what the hell is this guy hauling? I mean, you know, just like, just like... Two rolls of steel. I could easily, any one of them could crush any vehicle behind it if it just happens to roll off, and every once in a while they do. I actually almost ran into one years ago when I was much younger. It was right in the middle of the truck and there wasn't a truck to be found anywhere. It was as tall as I am, 6 foot tall roll of steel, sitting on its side, on the road. If it weren't for the fact that I saw the guy in front of me hit the brakes, it was late at night. I stopped at the state police post and said, hey, you've got a thing out there that's going to get somebody killed if they're not already hit it by now. There's no lights. It's dark. Like right now, where we've got this bad weather. And if I hadn't been for the other guy, I would have never seen it. I probably had fast enough reflexes I'd have gotten around it, but it's the idea. It's sitting right in the middle of a lane perfectly. Somebody was going to kiss it. And you know, they were the most, they would even pick up a radio or a phone. Yeah, well, we'll get to that. No, this is like right now. Like it's just down the street from where you are. The state police post is there in Brighton. Literally it was a quarter or half mile from where they were sitting. And there's slows, molasses, dents of the day is long, and absolutely no interest in actually worrying about the problem. So anyway, the big thing is again, the road issues. Again, the reason that it's gone to the extreme with that guys is we'll look at how many miles you've got. Look how big it's gotten. Any time you have any kind of large government money like that coming together, the mafia is going to be there. That's the sad part about it, but that's just how it works. And we've seen this over and over again. The only way you can do it is if you're aggressively willing to get rid of them. But if you do, you better be really good at it. Because you see, it's not the mafia you've got to worry about. They die just like anybody else. It's the government employees who are taking and sucking off those brown wallets, those brown envelopes. are going to like you for getting rid of their pool income. They were planning on a new pool this year. They had extra gold fixtures for their bathrooms. Next year it was part of the plan. As long as they keep getting those brown envelopes from the mafia, they feel good. Or corporations, whatever name you want to give them. Yeah, the feds gave the states road. Go ahead. I won't interrupt anymore. Go ahead. It's why I'm changing the subject a little bit. I haven't watched the movie yet, but my son While the movie was on clearance, it was called The Good Shepherd. Have you seen that movie yet? Yeah, actually it's been a little while. How is the movie? It seems average to me for being an action movie, if that's what you're asking. Of course, lots of dynamic Hollywood explosions and grenades that have nuclear capability as opposed to the real world. But beyond that... I heard it's like the history of the CIA and you've got the skull and bones ritual of them. Right, well the thing about it is that as much as anything, what is supposed to be the birth and inception, the early days of, it's mixed in okay there and you see you've got a lot of the basically the mafia tie in, although they don't emphasize it was the Jewish mafia, the Meyer Lansky types they were tied into. That's the most important aspect of it. Yeah, that's some offio, right? Oh, Murder, Incorporated. Meyer Lansky, that Jewish guy, and a bunch of other Jewish guys who were tied in with the other Jewish mobs. Is that who you're talking about? Which, of course, though. Yeah, no, I'm just saying, that's usually what they don't want to talk about, you know what I mean? That's why you... Oh my God, I didn't... I'm not listening, I'm not listening. Oh, of course not. It's the truth. You can hide from the truth, but that's about all you can do now, because most everybody knows the truth. By the way, before we go any farther on that, the biggest thing again, guys, with all of what we're talking about here is a solution. The solution is slow down. What have I said for years about all of this activity? It's called a bum rush. We've got to do a splash, just quick. Don't think about it. No, no, no, no, no. Let's back up here for a minute. Now, what's the big plan? Oh, you don't need to think about that. We need to go kill somebody over in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or we need to... Don't even think about it. You don't need to read it. We just need to pass it. We'll find out what's in it after we pass it. Oh, really? Remember that one? We'll find out what's in it after we pass it. Really? Well, that's where we've talked about slowing down a lot. You want to know what? You'll be here next year. Probably. But, you know, if it's good and it's a wholesome product and a wholesome idea, then it's going to survive the light of day. If they're trying to baffle us with BS, they always try to bum rush it and we got to hurry and we got to be fast and you don't need to ask any questions. Why are you asking any questions? Well, how about because I don't want to be up to my eyeballs and trillions of dollars of debt? How's that sound? To be quite honest, we could very quickly wean ourselves off of this and again, like everything else, like Kennedy originally proposed with the United States notes, it would take no more than two years. and we could have things pretty well stabilized without everything going to Hanhart. Now you know what would happen if you started actually enforcing the traditional structures? They would be doing everything they could to harm the economy to deflect you. And trying to claim that your effort to try and make them honest was, why things are going down? No, no, it's because they would intentionally try to burn the ship. You know, they would rather burn the house down than have to be honest. And that's what they're fighting. In order to do it, you'd have to literally keep them on course with a baseball bat and beat the snout out of them because the only thing that's going to work. And again, I've had so many people who said, this is too far gone. And I'm not saying these are not people disaster, like, oh my god, this is the end of the world. This is too far gone to fix with the way the system is because nothing with the system away is going to fix it. And I've had a lot of people who have been mulling over this for a long time and they've been walking right up to me. That happened again today when I went out. Two guys I haven't seen probably, well three of them, two different guys stopping by a certain spot and saying, hey Mark, how you doing? I've been all the state, really? Okay, what's going on? Well, you know, you saw the election and then of course immediately it says, well, you know, let me tell you something. And there's always the angle from my son working for this or my brothers working for that. And they're all saying the same thing. It's like they can see that the enemy is... The enemy on the other side somehow thinks that we're all blind or deaf or something and that we haven't made a decision. I'm listening to people and everybody, all they're asking me now is almost like this, you see the same thing I see, right? And it's like, well, yes, I do. I totally agree with you. Well, what do you think is going to happen? And I said, well, you all know it's going to have to happen, but you can't live with this. We can't live with this, guys. We can't. And I mean, I'm not going to commit suicide. And I'm not, we've got to fight for this. We're going to have to fight to clean it out. It's just all there is to it. All the rest is discussion. Yet we see the problem. But most of all these problems disappear because they're fake problems. They're designed to keep us busy. They're designed to keep us distracted. If we focus on key components, all the rest of the drivel goes away. And the first part is expecting real, honest to goodness, honesty. I mean, generally, just keep their nose to the grindstone, as they used to say, and slow everything down. Minimize and slow everything down. It doesn't mean you still wouldn't be building bridges. You would. But you'd get a bridge when you were done. And here's the important part. The bridge would be where you need it. Not where somebody else sucking off a government tit wants it. Big difference. Things will be fixed the way they should be fixed. And you know what? It doesn't mean you wouldn't get other stuff done because you would if you fixed it right. You don't have to come back and waste 20 tons of money in one spot, guys. Instead, you can go down the road and build more really good product. that's gonna be there until your grandkids run on it, run it out, you know what I mean? Now you can build a bigger society, now you can build something more permanent, now you can have more fun in the process. Less time wasted, somebody trying to steal your most time through taxes, and instead you can all enjoy your life. That would be kind of cool. You need to look at core solutions, and we need to enforce them, and the only way that's going to be done is with a gun. It's going to be only a small arms fire, and a lot of blood sweat tears are going to deal with the problem. And it's what nobody really wants to face because Well, it's not pretty. But you let it go too far, and it ain't pretty as it is. The pedophiles are right there in your face. And I'd say that tells me this country, either we're cooked, or we're gonna cook them, one or the other. Ain't no B, or I should say there ain't no C. Say your B. We are them, us are them, you know, them and out the door, or us, and they plan on killing us all. And I think we'd do them before they do us. God bless the republic. God bless the world. Alfred Vail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march to both Dan and Rob. We got good people. We got lots of them. We outnumber them, but they don't want you to even think about that. I'll keep repeating it. We outnumber them. Now you've got to decide what direction you want to go in. Seriously, treat this as more than just a hobby. John, you never pronounce the name of the webpage. Take us out of the room.
