The Watchdog State

What better way to expand the frontiers of the state and grow its cancerous and monstrous reach than  by  adding yet more vast layers and levels of bureaucracy to its bloated  infrastructure in the form of 'watchdogs' masquerading as independent state overseers providing an objective oversight of its operations - a classic statist ploy giving legitimacy to its depredations  whilst appearing to be a check on  them!

When it comes to cynicism it is always best to never underestimate statists and the lengths they will go to expand their invasive operations still further into the private domain and cover up their encroachments with much trumpeted and heralded displays of probity  and 'independent inspection' -carried out by state operatives!

But who's watching the watchdogs? Let's get another layer of government agencies to do that!  Infinite ever expanding circles of government to rival anything from Dante's hell - a bureaucrats wet dream with presumably Kafka as its mascot.
