Sitting with the doors closed and the blinds drawn

       So on the tail of another great executive edict,  Mr. Transparency Lepage has stated, "you can't get inside my head." A perfect statement from a paranoid delusional, but not great coming from a governor of any State, let alone the one we live in. When someone feels secrecy is their best option it is because their intentions are to violate something. Whether that is the people's trust, laws, or rights, who can say. The facts are clear though King Paul has no intentions of having an open Government. Our right to a government that is, "of the people, by the people and for the people," has been taken! His administration, Cabinet and Staff, is being run by Agenda tanks of the thoughtless, careless and mistaken. The Maine Heritage Policy Center and  Americans for Prosperity (staff of one in Maine?) Carol Weston, along with the other long arms of the Kochtapussy. These entities set themselves up as 509c and 501.c.3. non-profits. In this way they avoid taxes and create a system of tax deductible contributions. These are one-sided policy pushers, with no thought of truth or "summum bonum."
          Everything put forward by them, when broken down becomes a free-market push for the Corporations to form Federal Constitutional Monarchies. Indeed when you can control all the policy and all the wealth, you can control the government. Which is exactly what the Republicans in Washington are trying to do right now. Asserting their agenda, while denying they are complicit. Cutting the  people out of government and handing Our government to the very Corporations that have forced this nation to bankruptcy. What we see right now in Maine is a bought and paid for Governor incapable of leadership waiting for his Koch orders via a Bragdon, a Bowen or the RGA. So he sits and waits in secrecy, growing a small hairy lip covering and taking his meds.  The problem here is not only the lack of transparency, but the intent of these people. They never overlay facts to see a central truth. They are takers of all, and will lie to do it. These are intelligent people, which means they know there are greater truths than they put forward. They just do not care about the State of Maine, or the people. It is a modern manifest destiny; you are in their way. Believing they are justified because they took your money. Now they come for the institutions. The most foolish amongst them believes Trickle Down economics works and they stand with their heads up and mouths open like so many little birds, waiting for momma to drop a bug or worm perhaps, down their gullets. The most intelligent amongst them knows it is a theft of wealth and power. When the great analysts finally wrap their heads around the facts and work these issues down to the marrow of the matter, they will see that this has been a civil war and that the American People are lost or losing. This two party system is an abysmal failure, for it comes down to waste on the one side, greed on the other and neither have realism and truth at their core. I can not support this puppet government. Paul Lepage is unqualified and incapable of leadership of the people. He has never thought of people and never will. If we are to live for the "Corporate State" and sacrifice our desire for clean environments, well educated independent children and livable wages; we might as well load the Cannons now, stuff the tenets of the country in as batting and light the fuse. Better too obliterate the truth than live with the lie. 
                        All the best to you. Keep thinking, Sincerely, Ms. Paula Page
