In our weekly meeting with the Director of OPM, the political, polcy meeting, someone mentioned that they were having truble with Strom Thurmond’s office. I was the only South Carolinian there. I had spent five years on Capitol Hill. I knew why they were having trouble getting Strom’s cooperation.

Fortunately I was on my way out of OPM by then and nobody asked me.

You see, Strom had been in Washington for a quarter of a cenury by the time Reagan got there. Strom was there eighteen years after Reagan left. So when his office found out I was Special Assistant for Staffing, they called in a list of reliable people who should be in the permanent civil service as our agents.

They had had trouble with my predecssors, but they thought I would understand. After years of getting put off by earlier Special Assistants, I had to give them the straight poop.

I had to explain to Strom’s office that the official Administration position was that Reagan was going to clean up the entire civil service during his term of office, “We are here to clean up the swamp, not to join the alligators.” So my boss had determined not to have single person on our side in the civil service if he could hstop it.

The silence on the other end of the phone was eloquent.

Every Administration says it is not appointing permanent civil service. Nobody,but nobody, MEANT it. That is part of the game of political power in DC.

So, at the politicals’ meeting, the staff puzzled over why Strom’s office didn’t take us seriously.

If they had asked me, how could I have explained it?

As I mentioned before, the Director of the Civil Service I worked under in the Reagan Administration was abolutely opposed to getting one single Reaganite into the permanent civil service.

This sounds a bit nuts, so let’s make a distinction. As soon as the Bush Administration went into office in 1989 there was an open competition to rid the government of ALL Reagan appointees. Even National Review pointed, out, with their usual moronic disappointment, that one head of a department announced that he was the FIRST to get rid of EVERY Reagan appointee in his department.

No, I am not talking about Bush people who cleaned out all the Reagan appointees to an extent Democrats would have been ashamed of. My Reagan boss kept on a Carter apointee, and was proud to do it. But he was absolutely opposed to my using my expertise in staffing to keep on one single Regan appointee.

Does this make any sense to you? If so, I need to explain this a bit a more.

Reagan told him, “We need to clear the swamp, not to join the alligators.”

As I pointed out below, my boss got rid of me, and he was the ONLY PAS (prediential appointee with Senate Approval) who did not get reappointed to his PAS position for as long as I can find a record.

ANYway, I as interested in the settlement of space colonies as a way of preserving our race, so I took a big risk. I went to NASA to explain to Reagan appointees who were pro-space to explain how we could get them permanent appointments in the civil service.

So I went in to the top level. They were watching a video. It was a video in which President Reagan announced in a speech something they had given Reagan’s staff. While I stood there, they played it over and over and over again.

Then they took me to have lunch in the Special Reserved Lunch Room.

Gosh! Wow!

I was looking for good people to get into the career cvivl service in NASA, in spite of my boss’s determination to be sure nobody was left after the 1988 election.

When I was feeling sorry for myself — again — LibAnon said, “If you are looking for someone on your own intellectual level you are going to be disappointed.”

This came from someone who disagreed with my thesis that gravity moves faster than light by citing an experiment with elemental mercury that I never heard of.

I Googled it. I still have no idea what he is talking about.

I am REAL smart. I scare people. I LOVE to scare our enemies. I am one of your major weapons, like an ICBM. Look athe Opposing Views on Stormfront. Watch me step on your enemies.

But all I want from you are your comments.

I want what you say. What you say is what YOU say, not some canned crap from the PC boiler.

I am smarter than the average bear.

But I’m YOUR bear.

I HATE Comments (0).

Liberatrians tell us that they have a book to tell us what Freedom is.

To me, freedom is not capitalized. Everything depends on what YOU think of.

If what I say doesn’t make you think of anything I have failed.

I asked for comments from AFRIKAANERS on my recent Blog article (“Mark” below) on Stormfront.

One Boer replied and then went on about how disappointed he was that we pro-whites cannot UNITE in a seamless robe, without backbiting and backstabbling.

MY REPLY:

Take it from an old campaigner: This is NOT a game for nice people.

In fifty years in this fight, I have left behind legions of people who have obsessed on personalities or on others’ personal dedication to Unity on philosophies.

In fact, I wonder what world you are living in. Have you ever heard of a revolution that did NOT contain everything you are complaining about?

Get into my blog and let’s talk about reality.
