Taxpayer Assault Rifles

Money missing from the Denali Commission? Am I supposed to laugh or cry? Of course money is not missing, as this Ted Stevens' envisioned welfare program with “no oversight allowed”, it has been a ways and means to funnel away the U.S. Taxpayers' hard earned taxable income for some 30-years by now. Yes, I mean stealing, a crime it is. Look, how many “luxury” snow machines has the money earmarked to the “Commission” purchased over the years? How much gasoline has this earmark purchased, not for subsistence needs or winter time heat but for sport and recreation? How many assault rifles have been purchased courtesy this “Commission”? Honestly, if somebody wants to make a name in the blogisphere or on CNN, just research how many assault rifles were purchased with money from the Denali Commission. Then again, how many plane tickets to Hawaii, the list of abuse goes on and on and on. In fact, in one particular year when it went cold and heating fuel skyrocketed, money was available from the “Commission” to assist those on a budget. But instead of using that money for fuel, it was used to party with many trips to Anchorage based on “Medical” reasons. And guess who ended up picking up the tab for the heating fuel? Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, thorough Citizens Energy! This is what happens when “NO Oversight” is allowed. It's a “Commission” and enjoys “privacy” just like any other “Corporation”. There is a big chunk of our money that “We the People” will never know what it went towards, most likely “political donations” and salaries of the executive branch with a “mission accomplished”, that being turn thy head and obey Ted! And since we let it slide by, any decent court of law would find in the crooks favor – that we knew about the abuse all along but took no action. So it's NOT missing or misappropriated, as this has been without a doubt or mystery a haven for stolen money since the inception of the “Commission”, a body made up of state and Big Brother officials and a “mission” nobody with a sense of ethics understands – dishonesty ring a bell? Sad thing, how much money does it actually take to eradicate the “Honey Bucket”, the “Commission's” original agenda as the ”bucket” still fulfills the obligation of a bonafide toilet for many Alaskans. See, I was all for the “Commission” when it set out to get rid of the “bucket”, but I quickly realized that it never had any intent to perform this task, as it was a failed mission already because it had “Alaskan style corruption” written all over the bylaws! And get this. The reason that the Pony Express is cutting out Saturday service and furloughing 40% of the workforce which effects the minority population the hardest, the cutbacks are based on the fact that the Alaska fly-by-night mail service is consuming so much of the postal services' budget, that it cannot do both jobs. And when the Postal Chief tried to cut the waste in Alaska, guess what, he was threatened by the delegation. Why in hell does a remote village need this kind of preferential treatment? The best of the best with this fly-by screw the U.S. Taxpayers scam was the time a contractor figured out the greatest loophole of our times. See, subsidized mail service to bush Alaska was based not on weight but size, as this was a ways and means to abuse the U.S. Postal Service – another one of Ted Bundies deliveries, I meant Ted Stevens. I get the two mixed up, as they bring to the table the same traits. But this contractor realized that he could send a concrete block from Anchorage to anywhere in Alaska for the price of a stamp. Now he bid on a project that was building a new school in the bush and of course he was the low bidder, as any other respectful contractor that had bid on similar projects in the past realized that flying bricks just doesn't cut it. But this guy won the bid and arrived at the Post Office in Anchorage with several hundred pallets of concrete blocks. And when he was denied by confusion, he pulled out his ruler and all the blocks were within the measured volume constraints. So he was able to send the blocks over to some remote construction sight for pennies on the dollar what it would have cost by normal barge freight. And he made a killing on this scamming jamming loophole, all at the U.S. Taxpayers expense. It is estimated that this “loophole” cost us well over $1-million, and made a handsome take home pay for one individual. That is how it works these days on the beltway, as everybody has the hand out for loot that is scarce, as most of the loot is hidden away in offshore accounts. So we have come to grips with destiny, as when we have a representative body that cannot get over the fact that the good old days are over with and we all must compromise and share, and not hold grudges like holding up advancements of dedicated service men, then we can begin to get things right. In the meantime, remember that assault rifle in the hands of a Tea-Bagger may have Uncle Sam's identity written all over it – courtesy the Denali Denial Commission!
