asperity Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Rules of Bureaucracy Rule #1: Maintain the problem at all costs! The problem is the basis of power, perks, privileges, and security. Rule #2: Use crisis and perceived crisis to increase your power and control. Rule 2a. Force 11th-hour decisions, threaten the loss of options and opportunities, and limit the opposition’s opportunity to review and critique. Rule #3: If there are not enough crises, manufacture them, even from nature, where none exist. Rule #4: Control the flow and release of information while feigning openness. Rule 4a: Deny, delay, obfuscate, spin, and lie. Rule #5: Maximize public-relations exposure by creating a cover story that appeals to the universal need to help people. Rule #6: Create vested support groups by distributing concentrated benefits and/or entitlements to these special interests, while distributing the costs broadly to one’s political opponents. Rule #7: Demonize the truth tellers who have the temerity to say, “The emperor has no clothes.” Rule 7a: Accuse the truth teller of one’s own defects, deficiencies, crimes, and misdemeanors.
