HOW DID THEY DO IT?


HOW DID THEY DO IT?

I had never thought about this before but, it certainly gives another perspective.

Did anyone besides me wonder how they got  all those signs printed and distributed far and wide, including to all the  national parks and cemeteries overseas only eight to ten hours after the  government shut down?  Take a look at this from someone who wanted to  remain anonymous.
 
I have worked in the government on and off  for 40 years.  During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions,  bidding, awarding contracts etc.  It is a time consuming process with  bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way.  The  simplest request takes months not days or hours.

In less than 8 hours  of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared  all over the country in the tens of thousands saying-“this [park, facility, etc.  with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown.  There has not been a  government shutdown in 17 years.  These signs were designed, specifications  were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted,  government contracts were awarded.  The materials were then ordered and the  signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight  companies.

This shutdown was  orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 months ago.  Millions  of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process.  There is a  paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.

Why was it done? precisely to extract pain/totally inconvenience the people like you and I.....  All a big show ......  to show just whom is in charge.....   ????

Think about it....

Why think about it.  In  the last election, congress had a 15% approval rating, yet 90% were RE-elected. 


Please pass this on.

ALL government personnel should be brought to trial and asked if those signs and barricades were at the National Parks and Monuments on 9/30/13, and if they were then this was ALL planned and the cost should come out of their paychecks!
Also, someone should check to see which Congressmen voted NO for the Unlimited Debt Ceiling and then see if they will be voted OUT of office next November!
Probably they will be kicked out by electronic vote, such as 140% of the voters showed up and cast them out!
