So
praytell, we are beginning to see who wears the pants in the
family! I am talking Alaska's dysentery dysfunctional delegation,
specifically how Queen MoanaLisa is controlling Dan Sullivan. Yes,
she is teaching newbie Dan the business, and that is good for
“business” and leaves any sense of ethics just a suggestion –
like an Anchorage traffic light. Why STOP, nobody is listening! It
wasn't a surprise that Dan's first chore would be to take up slack in
the kitchen, finding a poisonous recipe for tearing down the EPA.
Like daddy dearest Frank working to open ANWR, daughter dearest is
trying to waste the same amount of time giving the EPA a bad name.
See, Dan wants to “ban” the EPA from having the authority to
arrest people. Look, if you have to make an arrest and are not
allowed or afforded protection, what good is the “Protection”
clout of that agency? Now we know that Don Young along with MoanaLisa
MurCowpiefly despises the EPA, for taking a “Stand Your Ground”
upon the “Barney Rubble Pebble Mine” project, just a Flintstones
style Neanderthal-man sized hole in the ground designed to create an
environmental nightmare “pit” wherein the State of Alaska would
receive a “pittance” in resource “Royalty”. Look Alaskans, we
deserve a whole lot more for those resources then on average 1.5%! In
comparison, we see 12.5% from oil development – so wherein hell did
this mining relief come from? So we are beginning to witness Dan's
marching orders, not from his constituency, but from the “Hobby
Lobby” which has controlled Alaska's senile delegation for way too
long. Look, if you take away the EPA enforcers' guns, of course this
benefits Alaskan businesses, just look what is going on with the
diesel spill at Mile-Post 48 of the Richardson Highway! Yes, the EPA
had to come in and take over that nightmare – so why in hell do we
strive to dismantle an organization that is there when we need
assistance – for keeping death threatening stuff out of our salmon
streams? It doesn't make sense accept the fact that is what MoanaLisa
is focused upon. She started going after the EPA and by god with
“Nothing” else to do, may as well stir the pot. Too bad Congress
couldn't change the way a member of that insane institute gets laid.
Leave it up to the “states”, not the U.S. Taxpayers to foot the
bill. “Sorry Dan, MoanaLisa and Don, the state is broke due the
crash in oil money, so can you continue to represent us based out of
desire instead of lobby greed, like it used to be?” It is indeed
today “Taxation without Representation”. Look, just showing up
for work and surfing for pornography all day doesn't mean being
productive. And if I had a “dime” for every time a member of
Congress bad-mouthed the “Commander-in-Chief”, I could buy the
next president and trump the Koch suckers! But it is amazing that the
theory of “what goes around comes around” and after many years of
getting by using the “Mobius Strip” criteria, well it is catching
up on Alaska. And there ain't a damn thing that Don Young can do
about it, there ain't a damn thing MoanaLisa MurCowpiefly can do
about it, and newbie Dan Sullivan - well let's be nice for a few
weeks. Dear Dan, hope you haven't already unpacked your bags! Alaska's
top revenue chief said we need to build a ramp soon for the budget
deficit or else go over the edge, basically before oil crashes below
$45 – too late. Look, we are walking the plank of economic disaster
and we can thank that delegation for a lot of the mess we are in
today. We didn't broaden our horizon with respect to revenue sources,
no diversification! See, several years ago when the “Brass” went
under pressure to cut costs, well they decided - and not due any
special interest interference - that Eielson Air Force Base was no
longer a necessity. So they made the decision to move the remaining
F-16 squadron to JBER. It made sense, as the power plant that was
used at Eielson AFB could not meet EPA “Air Quality” requirements
and is in need of a wrecking ball as there ain't no money available
to build a new plant. Reason being the “brass” are sick and tired
of buying “crap” sub-standard coal from Joe Uselessbelli at
over-inflated prices and shipping it on Bill Sheffield's
narrow-minded-gauge Podunk rail-road at inflated prices. When at the
same time Uncle Sam subsidizes that rail by an infusion of at least
half the operating revenue requirements – and Casey Jones then
gives other customers “Transport Credits”? What ever happened to
“Patriotism”? Honestly, we feel “Patriotic” here in the “Lost
Frontier” to take advantage of the military, the guys that are
protecting us from Russia, as that enemy has moved very close
according to Sarah Palin. But when this military personnel move was
introduced, or hell broke loose. See, many of the jobs out at the
base are civilian, like plowing snow, and many of those civilian jobs
so teased belong to “Tea-Party” enthusiasts. So with their
pre-occupation to hate government, this was a good time and place for
government to depart. Let's face it, why keep friends that will stab
you in the back? But when you try to take away that “easy street”
government paycheck, well people begin to exercise that 2nd
Amendment! So the “brass” were chastised, and only Mark Begich
came to the rescue – MIA MoanaLisa and Don. OK, Don has an excuse
as he was told by Boehner to “shut-up”! Honestly, with Don - due
ethics and ethnic complaints - he cannot “chair” a committee, so
he has less power then any other Congresswomen – good thing we like
voting in duds. Anyway, Begich was allowed a breather due his threats
upon military promotions for our men & women in the trenches in
Afghanistan and that allowed the city fathers to work up a game plan.
Now what occurred was mind-boggling, as it caused my property value
in Anchorage to loose $15000! See, by claiming that Anchorage was an
unsafe city, due rape, muggings, drug lords & whores, it was best
to keep the squadron up north – in Fairbanks, where there was even
more rape, muggings, drugs & whores along with air pollution
problems – many times in the “Unhealthy” zone! So the brass
decided to hold off on the EAFB reassignment, because many soldiers
that were up for promotion but were denied such due Begich's sucker
punch, well the troop morale faded and we were starting to loose the
war – as many decided is wasn't worth protecting this nation when
Congress played this kind of insane game – purely cesspool
politics. I tried filing a complaint against Begich, but with the
“Sergeant-at-Arms” being “blackmailed into leaving his post”,
it was a moot point. So the plan of attack by Mayor Sullivan and
Mayor Homeboy in Fairbanks, well their togetherness worked to instill
that Anchorage and Fairbanks were unsafe havens for military
personnel – but only during the non-tourists season and many
Anchorage home-owners saw the value of their houses crash – well a
small devaluation. So, now the brass have found out that what the
“Mayors Bribery Coalition” used in their report, that after their
own research found that it was false, well Eielson is once again on
the “Wrecking Ball” list. Yup, a day after Begich conceded his
seat to Dan, Eielson was once again up for grabs. Now to accommodate
the F-16 move to JBER, it means making room, so the ARMY is getting
into the picture and wants to cut a large percentage of the troops at
JBER and Ft. Wainwright. And this has the mayors pissed off once
again, as Begich is gone and when they made calls to D.C. and asked
for the Alaska delegation, all they get is “Sorry, the number you
have called is no longer in service”. So brace, as the “brass”
has taken notice and have been given their marching orders,
cut-backs are coming, like it or leave it. Now there are many things
that go into the equation that evaluates a military base and the
future. It really has nothing to do with politics – that can only
challenge a decision to modify a base and maybe buy some time, so a
city can hire rapists and whores to roam the streets to make it look
unsafe – part of that discretionary spending that finds “zero”
transparency. But when you see a check made out to “Big Lips
Lucy”...Now down in California and in Utah, the city fathers saw an
opportunity to take some of our troops away, by offering
lucrative incentives to the military. See, many bases went
“Privatized” back several years ago – wherein the power plants
and waste-water facilities went into private ownership, as a means to
save Uncle Sam loot. So some states have relaxed things like property
tax, as once a piece of the base that was exempt, well under the
“Private Ryan” label, it is taxed. When Alaska's military bases
went that way, it meant $millions$ in taxation collected by the local
city governments, in efforts to pay for the whores. Also, the Defense
Logistics Agency is tired of buying “expensive” coal from Joe.
See, the military likes to buy on 5-year contracts and likes a set
price – it's called “logistics”. And down in the lower-48, due
the interest to keep the military as part of a viable jobs
infrastructure through incentives, well the price of coal has dropped
by 5% delivered and that trend is continuing. In Alaska, it went up
14% - this is what gives Alaska a “black eye”. Take Ft.
Wainwright for instance. It is rated as a “10” for preparing
troops to fight in “cold climates” and at the same time it
received a “zero” for energy costs – due the price of coal as
there exists no other alternative to keep the troops warm in winter.
Now for the last 10-years, we have been fighting desert wars? So
there's that kind of terrain in California, there's the same in Utah,
plus incentives and cheap fuel. So Joe Uselessbelli is part of the blame, so is the
Alaska Rail Road. But probably the biggest deterrent to keeping the
military here in Alaska, it is the Doyon Native Corporation. See,
back some years ago Doyon was awarded a “$billion” dollar
contract to run the utility infrastructure at JBER, Wainwright and
Greely. Well, it soon reneged on its promise and wanted a whole lot
more, after all the contracts were scrutinized – with the excuse
that when it bid on the infrastructure, it was only allowed to do a
drive-by – for assets totaling over $700-Million. Like this was a
Craig's listing – wherein even a terroist can get in on the act.
For about a year now, the JAG has been taking Doyon to task. But this
has cost a tremendous amount of time and “extra” money out of the
defense budget, to litigate a contract. And the Alaska delegation
never went involved, as it hurts to take sides with Uncle Sam, with
respect to what goes into that political “War Chest”. Can you
imagine MoanaLisa MurCowpiefly going to bat for the ARMY against her
fan club? So we shoot ourselves in the foot, take that back, the
groin. And where did the most damage come from? When it was decided through "Citizens United" that Alaska
wanted a KOCH representative in power instead of Begich. Look, I
wasn't a Begich supporter, but rational enough to see and understand
what was going on, with politics here in Alaska that tells me we
never did eunuchize that “Corrupt Bastard Club” mentality. See,
another reason that EAFB will soon see a wrecking ball is the fact
that KOCH shutdown the refinery that provided a secure fuel supply,
for the jet set. That supply now comes from Anchorage, so the brass
want to move the F-16 squadron closer to that secure supply, as what
in hell can you do with jets on empty – and NO, you can't burn coal
in an “afterburner”. So we are about to see more “Public
Comment” sessions now that the “BRAC” wrecking ball is heading
this way. It will be only a matter of time before the wrecking ball
comes to town and we see the unemployment rate start to climb, house
prices sagging and we will then ask, “What the F....Destructive
devastation will arrive in North Pole, then work its way toward
Fairbanks then down to Anchorage. Look, the bases are dilapidated and
falling apart, as the power plants and other infrastructure were
build some 50-years ago. And there ain't no money to fix things up.
And we blew it by this account. Like already mentioned, energy costs
enter into the equation of whether or not a base is fundamentally
sound. Had we built that “natural gas pipeline”, we would have
already set ourselves up for a future with a military presence into
that future. See, the military by “Public Law” must convert to
“Green”. Down in Anchorage, with the “Trash Gas” project that
requirement is being achieved, so another reason the troop deployment
will be moving south. Said again, if we had built that “gas”
pipeline as was a requirement within 5-years of “Oil In”, we
would not be wasting time at “Public Comment” meetings about the
destiny of the military here in Alaska - as that was about the only
incentive we had to offer, cheap “Green” fuel! Yes, it is
catching up. And with the price of oil collapsing, so is that “Bridge
To Nowhere”, as Don never delivered any funds for the up-keep! This
“bad scenario” is nothing new, it has been an over-shadowing
obstacle for the last 6-years. Begich tried to keep the wrecking ball
at bay, but in doing so pissed off the brass. In the meantime, we did
nothing but pick our noses. Yes, we have only the politicians to
blame, as what went on was how it was when we had a powerful Senator,
Uncle Ted to come to our assistance. Those days are gone forever.
Since then, it appears the delegation has been absent – or maybe it
is just utter incompetence!
