A bureaucrat who is really difficult to deal with; an official who will not bend the rules, someone who always does the government's bidding
That government cheese would not let me file a complaint with the court because I spelled Cort ("Court") wrong.

(n.) unfortunate event which could not have been stopped at all, caused by actions of the President, City Hall, Congress, the police, the Armed Forces, the Federal Reserve, etc.
A law, act, raid, summons, tax, or action performed/passed by the above which results in the indiscriminate loss of life, property, money or livelihood.
A play upon "Act of God", as it implies a destructive action by an unstoppable, unreasoning and (near) omnipotent entity which cannot be prevented or contained. However, measures can be taken to lessen the damage done and recover from the wreckage.

Dr. Earl's medical practice was performing a much needed service to the community and was doing quite well - until the city seized his property through eminent domain and gave the land to another McDonalds. Talk about an act of government.

A collection of mostly ex oil industry employees, paid to continually harp and shill about the pristine virtues of ethical oil so clean you could drink it, ad-nauseam, and to ensure that the misguided global warming problems of "other" countries don't slow down the escalating air pollution dreams of The Harp-oil Government's owners, ad-nauseam.
Little Oil: *&^K*!!! we've had another &^%king pipeline rupture again.... It's bad, really ^%$#king bad. What should we do?
Big Oil: No problemmo! I'll just call my boy in charge at the The Harp-Oil Government. He'll get the muzzels on his people and make sure nobody knows a thing about it. If they do, his team will harp on and on about how it was just a good old ethical oil spill, besides, he knows if we don't get we want we won't be bankrolling his next election campaign and he won't be buying those shiny new regime change jets we ordered. Remember, they're working for us."
Little Oil: "I love how you always make everything right!"
Big Oil: "It's not who you know son, it's who you own."

An on-going fuck up kept alive by a dying boomer generation anxious to milk as many resources as humanely possible.

Governments and Media through relationships with public relations companies (PR), deceitfully participate
in covert and overt government propaganda which publishes propaganda as news. What are often thought as credible news sources can knowingly or unknowingly be pushing political agendas and propaganda.

Internet is the ONLY alternative to the government-media complex that controls the news and most political propaganda. It is essential that the internet remain free and open from government regulation and that you use it to seek alternative sources for news.
