DIRTY POLITICS

Dirty politics occurs at all tiers of government. It's all about information and the control of it. It includes stacking committees with your political friends and allies and always undermining privately and in the shadows those who are a political threat to you. It is all about smiling and being friendly and slipping the knife in at the most opportune moment. Morals, ethics and honour are all for show. It is using other people to do your dirty work. It is inducing supporters or those with an axe to grind to be the ones to go on the record or to put dirt into print. It is about keeping your hands clean while those honest people who think you are for real get their hands dirty. It is about controlling Agendas, controlling access to information and abusing in camera rights at every opportunity.

Spreading dirt and filth about your competitors is an art form. Patience is required and the collection of "dirt" and the promotion of lieutenants and assistants and the strokimg of their egos is required. You must never lose your temper or control but you must be able to provoke others to do so when necessary. This folks is the fine art of politics in our democratic system. It is a system in which filth flourishes. Filths' goals rarely are revolutionary. They simply want to get ahead at everyone else's expense. For them the goals or mandate of the organization are simply words. They are using them for their own ego and benefit. They are but a mantra to hide behind and twist when helpful to themselves. Yes folks most human beings are not this bad or this intelligent to be sucessfully bad. This is a "profession" which attracts filth and bad people. This "profession" has been turned into trash by its' participants.
