Somethin’ Funny’s Goin’ On

The Manta.com website includes a database of over 63 million US and foreign
companies. That database info is provided by Dunn & Bradstreet
(D&B). Manta.com will provide preliminary information on each of
these millions of companies for free. If you want more “in-depth” info,
there’s a fee.

But since this article is about “funny” stuff, and paying fees isn’t fun, let’s run a few free searches and see what we
can find. You might be surprised.

For example, if you type “Government of the United States” into the Manta.com search engine, you’ll be whisked to a
list of “7,666 matching US companies”.

The first “company” on the list is:

“Government of the United States (US Government) HQ

“the u.s. Capitol Washington DC”

The “HQ” stands for “headquarters”.

If you scroll down the list of other companies below the “Government of the United States,” you’ll find “branches” like
“Executive Office of the United States Government” (6 entries), “United
States Department of the Air Force (US Government),” “The Navy United
States Department of (US Government Naval Reserves),” and “United States
Court of Appeals For The 11^th Circuit United States Courthouse”.

Apparently, the Navy, Air Force and Courts are “companies”.

That’s kinda “funny,” doncha think?

If you click on the “Government of the United States HQ” link, you’ll see another website page with some fairly
detailed—and possibly bewildering—information.

For example, you’ll see that this “Government of the United States” has its address at:

“the u.s. capitol

“Washington, DC 20515-0001”

Its phone number is “ [phone] [phone] ”. Business Hours are “24/7”.

You can click the “map” link and see a graphic indicating that this “Government” is located on “Capitol Hill” (same
place as Congress) in Washington DC.

None of that seems particularly surprising (other than the idea that our “Government” might be a “company” and/or a
conglomerate of “companies”). But the Manta.com report does begin to
seem a little strange under the heading “About Government Of The United
States” where we read:

“government, owner archbishop deric r. mccloud of basilica shrine michigan and 4th ne street washington,dc”.

Say whut? Does that abbreviated text really indicate that the owner of the “Government Of The United States” is an archbishop named Deric R. McCloud? Who could be dumb enough to think (or even
mistakenly write) that the “Government of the United States” was owned by an archbishop?

A: Apparently, Dunn & Bradstreet was dumb enough.

And just in case you think we can’t be talking about the “Government of the United States,” take a gander at the “Additional Information” heading and you’ll read (as of August 6^th, A.D. 2010):

“all receipents [sic] of federal funds that have any kind of criminal case or felony federal,
state, local or served time in prison federal, state, benefits terminate
7/26/10 by barack obama administration.”

The reference to “barack obama” shows that this entry for “Government of the United States HQ” does, indeed, describe
the very same “Government of the United States” that we all so love and
admire. (Don’t forget that this “Government” and all its various
“branches” are being reported by D&B to be individual, private companies.)

OK, OK—maybe this article isn’t really all that “funny” (ha-ha!), but it’s still pretty “funny” (strange).

• Go back to the top of the “Government of the United States” page and click the “More Info” tab. Under “Employees
(Estimated)” you’ll read:

“2,768,886

“At this location

“3”

2.7 million federal employees sounds about right. This enormous number of employees confirms that we’re viewing information on the “Government of the United States”.

But if only “3” of those millions of employees are “At this location” (the “HQ”) who are the “chosen 3”? And where,
precisely is “this location”? Capitol Hill? Yes—but where on Capitol
Hill? In the Senate chamber? The House of Representatives? If there
are only “3” people at the HQ, that HQ might be as small as some
cloakroom.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Under “State of Incorporation” you’ll read “Information not found”. This could mean that this “Government of the
United States” was never formally “incorporated”. Or it might mean that
the information concerning that incorporation is intentionally
concealed.

However, we can see a clue to the possible date of incorporation for this “Government of the United States” under the
heading “Years in Business” which reads “223”. If the “Government of
the United States” began 223 years ago, there should be a constitution
or charter to mark its creation at that time.

This is A.D. 2010, so “223” years ago would be A.D. 1787.

But that’s odd.

Why? Because our current “Government of the United States” should have been created by “The Constitution of the United States” and therefore could not have existed prior to the ratification of the Constitution.
