Nonsense and insanity

Nonsense is a grossly incorrect state of affairs or one detached from all sense and logic, which is sometimes deliberately meant to be taken lightly – while insanity is considered in psychiatry as a mental disorder. Politicians often appear to be disproportionately afflicted by both. There is no other explanation for the fact that political work is aimless and without any content, but always has a specific purpose: The clinging on to political power at any cost for the relevant purpose, even if this is directed against the basic law and the freedom of the people. Legal violations muffle the basic law and its subsequent laws, which have allowed almost infinite room for freedom of action; here can be hardly any justification; instead there is misrepresentation; self-adulation and distortion of the facts, even sailing under false colours. There is absolutely no liability for damage caused. It is clear therefore that people who want to have power gravitate to the world of politics, where they can carry out their mischief. The taxpayer is ultimately responsible for any damage caused – the perfect prerequisites for the political madness which flourishes under the prevailing conditions. What a shame then that it is shown again and again how much the people/voters are stultified and misled in this way. And that they are no longer protected under the Constitution, because suffocating politics accordingly prohibits, prevents and influences freedom of action, restricting it in favour of preservation of the party. From this principle arises the picture of only one direction in the flow of information: from top to bottom; from politics to the people.
Yet this state calls itself democratic and social, so it is therefore questionable how it can be that there is only this one direction in the flow of information. And other options are also available: Concealment, delay, wheeling and dealing in order to deceive the people. So that everything that the people do not find out is good. Also hardly a democratic approach!

There are many examples of such perversions: the Weidmann case , the Wulff case , to name only two recent ones. But politics engages in its machinations not only amongst the ranks of its opponents (and sometimes also amongst its own), industry and commerce support these tendencies, and other than assumed, it is not the ability of a person who makes his way in politics that is decisive, but the party-political benefit and the corresponding party line. In this way, insane projects are created, such as:

Stuttgart 21

2.Berlin Airport,

3.The Nürburgring in Rheinland-Pfalz,

4.The City on the River, Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg,

5.Projects such as the EnBw share purchase, Baden-Württemberg.

All this however can at least explain why the state coffers are empty, and in every generation children are born who on the present model will grow up to be poor, dragging this political inheritance with them all their lives. This cannot be accepted. What are needed are regular checks of politicians by company (political) doctors, who would review their suitability for such responsible positions, say every six months. This would at least help all those who are otherwise trapped in the centre of power: The taxpayers, who would also have to pay the company doctors! And this is not meant to be nonsense.
