Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled!
Jehovah, having been responsible for our creation, was loathe to bring us to the trials that would make us grow through adversity. Instead, He provided man with a superabundance of readily gathered food in a subtropical climate. That Was Eden ... Even though the passing millennia demonstrated that man was not learning ... Jehovah and His followers clung to Their altristic experiment. <strong>Those other Angles who differed with Jehovah finally took matters into Their own hands and set about to destroy Eden. This was done under the leadership of the great Angel, Lucifer, to whom we owe the advantages of our present advancement.</strong> - Richard G. Kieninger

Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act

This was an act to end the good ol’boys “spoils system”. Instead of people in power giving government jobs to their friends or someone that bribed them the jobs were now by law to be given to the most qualified.

Carroll Quigley in his book Tragedy and Hope claims that this bill was supported by “big business” to “cut off or even sensibly reduce” political contributions from people seeking these jobs. This he goes on to claim that is because these political contributions were out side of the political control of the business. Even though it seems that the big business could just buy their people into the government jobs for even more influence - which is what we see today with many high-powered government positions being controlled by ex-heads-of-banks, big-pharma, and gmo-agro companies.
