Murphy/Mazzeo & Armato Have Chosen Illegals over Veterans … And, an Important Review of “The Tytler Cycle” from 1787
By HARRY HURLEY
Political Columnist
New Jersey is turning more and more like California with each passing day.
See if you can believe this one? In the last issue, we discussed that New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has allocated $ 2.1 million for illegal aliens to receive free stuff in order stay here. Yes, hard-earned taxpayer dollars are being given to illegals to be able to remain here, illegally. It’s madness.
What I didn’t know until after our filing deadline was that Murphy, with the help of fellow Democrats like Assemblymen Vince Mazzeo and John Armato accomplished this by directly ripping off our United States Veterans.
Here’s a real life case in point. On Saturday, December 8, 2018, The Brigantine Elks were expecting three busloads of wonderful Veterans to arrive for their annual viewing party to watch the iconic United States Army vs. United States Navy college football game.
However, when the first bus arrived … everyone was left wondering … where are the other two buses? It was only then that they learned that there was no bus # 2 and # 3 arriving.
The reason: a targeted budget cut. Yes, you’re reading this correctly. The Murphy/Mazzeo/Armato Team took the money from our Veterans transportation budget and instead gave it to illegals, who shouldn’t be here in the first place.
This is beyond upsetting. It’s a disgrace and outrage beyond words. But, don’t worry, the Democrats knew that we would all eventually find out about their filthy scheme, so they already had a cover story ready to go.
Their story is that they didn’t cut the Veteran’s Transportation budget. They simply shifted the money to the “General Fund.”
In other words, they want you to believe that they didn’t choose illegals over our own Veterans.They simply transferred the money. But, the proof is in the “pudding.” Once the money was moved from the Veteran’s transportation line item … the Democrats first move was to cheat our Veterans.
I have interviewed many people with direct knowledge of this annual party for our Veterans. The truth is, they don’t get out much. This is an event that they look forward to every year. Yet, because the Murphy Democrats choose illegals over American citizens at almost every turn … two-thirds of our honorable veterans were denied the opportunity to attend the viewing party event.
Bob Garguilo is one of the finest Public Schools Superintendents in our region. He’s not a “politically” motivated individual. He called me on-air to discuss the following:
Bob was waiting for the three busloads of Veterans to arrive to the Brigantine Elks Club event. He found out in real time what had occurred. Bob spent time connecting all of the dots. He spoke with State Senator Chris Brown staffer Tom Suthard (a very good man) about this outrage that had occurred.
Suthard was able to confirm that the July budget, (which Mazzeo and Armato) supported, cut the Veteran’s Transportation budget and the Veterans Memorial fund and they put the $ 2.1 million in the fund for illegal freebies.
So, the next time you hear me or anyone else say that the Democrats choose illegals over Veterans and other United States citizens … it’s not spin. It’s not a lie. It’s the truth.
It really is time for every veterans organization and other like-minded Americans to effectively join together and put a stop to this and other outrages that are presenting occurring. The American people have far more power than they actually believe.
Pay close attention to what’s happening in California. Because New Jersey is following each radical socialist Democrat scheme … hook, line and sticker.
California is presently weighing a new tax on every text message sent. The “revenue” generated will be given to illegals, so that they can have free cellular telephones and other freebies.
And, get this … the lunatic California Democrats are not happy with a new text message tax. They want to retroactively apply it going back five years. Yes, a new tax that will have a start date of 2013!
Incoming California Governor Gavin Newsome has already promised a new, massive property tax increase. He wants to also make it retroactive from five years ago.
California has achieved a super majority in both their upper and lower houses of the state legislature. The Republican minority has absolutely no power to stop any of these radical moves.
New Jersey is currently on a path towards the same reality. For example, it wasn’t that many years ago that Republicans had the majority of United States Congressmen. As of this January, 2019, Congressman Chris Smith is the only Republican left in the New Jersey delegation. 11 out of 12 will now be Democrats.
Should this course follow with the state legislature, Democrats will have a super majority; which would leave Republicans helpless.
One bright spot is New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney. He’s not radical. He’s presently the “gate keeper” at the door, or, New Jersey would have plunged even further radically left than we already have endured.
What the socialist Democrats fail to recognize is that when you keep regressively taxing your hard-working citizens, you can expect that the guaranteed end result will be a continued migration of the tax base.
It’s the road map for ultimate economic collapse. This is not a theory, it’s an inevitability. It’s already happening. New Jersey is presently leading the nation in terms of people fleeing for fairer taxed states. In California, a cottage industry has flourished. Companies are open for business, which provide the various services required for people to move out of California to other states like Florida, South Carolina and Texas.
Let me close by reminding you about “The Tytler Cycle.” Tytler was a Scottish history professor, who introduced his theory in 1787.
I became very interested in this theory about 30 years ago. I didn’t know then if it was actually true or just some wild opinion. However, please note the following; it goes like this:
The Tytler theory sets forth a cycle that every “Democracy” has experienced throughout history. The average length of a Democracy is no more than 200 years. To date, it has never failed; except for the United States of America; which is the first to go 242 years without entirely collapsing.
Here’s why:
These are the stages:
You start in “Bondage.” Then, there is a “Spiritual Faith” awakening that overcomes a society, which has a thirst for freedom. This requires “Courage” in order to happen. Next is achieving “Liberty.” This is always followed by a period of “Abundance,” because people have worked hard to earn what they’ve amassed. This is the high water mark in every Democracy.
What follows, is always a period of decline. “Selfishness” enters the scene. Next is “Complacency,” as people take for granted what they have. Next is “Apathy.”
The end is now near, as “Dependence” on the government takes full root, as people now routinely vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. It’s very simple. The voters support the candidates who promise the most gifts from the public treasury.
When this stage plays out, we return to Bondage. Every time this Tytler Cycle has played out … the end result is 100 percent of the time, a return to “Bondage.”
Every Democracy in history has been immediately been followed by a Dictatorship. I don’t believe that there is any denying that we are currently in the final stage of “Dependence.” That’s Stage 7 out of 8.
This stage will end when we run out of “other people’s money” to give to the chosen ones. Interesting to note is that The Tytler Theory was written two years before George Washington became the first President of The United States.
Addendum:
Congressman-elect Jeff Van Drew and Assemblyman Bob Andrzejczak and Bruce Land voted against the budget that diverted the veteran funding.\
