Interior’s persistent diabolical agenda

In the last decade, the lead federal agency has quietly turned from partner to adversary, a sudden shift in relationship that took us by surprise.

It turned itself into a One-Stop-Agency: US Departments of Justice and Labor. It allegedly employed every conceivable federal agency to prop-up its case for a federal takeover of the NMI. It allegedly employed private eyes to dig-up dirt in the islands. But most of its allegations can’t be used because they can’t be verified, according to testimony by officials of the US Department of Justice.

Some of the key people who took initial batting practice to advance the agenda of the US Textile Labor Unions have since transferred elsewhere or retired. But there are serious affronts to the democratic process that have actually triggered such transfer or retirement their fate which would be determined by the findings of the Don Young Committee.

Certainly, we can understand why the last kamikaze charge down the hill of economic annihilation against this group of US Citizens: It’s a last ditch effort to secure the quiet mandate of labor unions, however, they have seen fit to speak from both sides of their mouths as they assure fellow countrymen that the “economic good times” shouldn’t “leave anybody behind”. We say, Mr. President, that not only did your discriminatory policy leave us behind; but it also ignores our tiny and often inaudible voices for equality and assimilation into the greater American Economic Community.

For all the well thought-out centrist views you have taken, Mr. President, you have given the down trodden US Citizens of the NMI some hope that the benefits of the “economic good times” would descend in these isles what with the ravages inflicted against us by the Asian Crisis. You have grandly ignored, Mr. President, that you and your cronies were as much a part of the creation of a dysfunctional family; yet you blatantly refuse to admit your share of responsibility.

You’ve searched long and hard to define your legacy as head of the most powerful democratic country in the international community. Unless you rectify and grant us the opportunity to be assimilated into the greater American Community, you would have left and indelible mark in the chapter of our socio-economic development as the master of ruination in the livelihood of this group of US Citizens.

All we wish from our mother country, Mr. President, is the opportunity to ensure that government resides in the people and not among your inept staff at Interior who have never been able to see issues through our lenses. It includes the primary fiduciary responsibility of wealth and jobs creation you so often reiterate in many of your statements across the country. We too, Mr. President, are a part of the greatest country on earth, the Great US of A! Show us through fair policies that in fact we are US Citizens too. Enough is enough with Interior’s diabolical and frivolous agenda of economic annihilation!

Why has Interior failed so grandly over the last four decades in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibility to assist the NMI attain not only a higher standard of living, but a progressively higher standard of living? It is because it is far removed from the peculiarities that governance and its leaders must endure in its dedicated efforts to refine and strengthen our democratic institutions.

Furthermore, every mediocre Interior bureaucrat openly neglects the rights of US Citizens here to self-government not to mention the apparent attitude that the NMI is foreign soil and job losses for this group of US Citizens, therefore, inconsequential. Nothing can be further from the truth so help me Uncle Bill Clinton!
