"ghost writer" AUTHORity

Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.

I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

Testing The Authority

A saying to describe a member trying to get a rise out of a staff member. This is a common saying for either Discord Admins or admins on any other platform.

Some dude in a discord server I am in posted a meme in general chat and was banned because he was testing the authority of the admins.

LAX POLICE AUTHORITY

It is when the police do not thoroughly practice accountability.

The LVMPD knew about ED BUCK'S the politician DRUG den but no accountability at the HOMOSEXUAL BATH HOUSES OR DEJA VU both locatiions , FANTASY WORLD, and ADULT SUPERSTORE for RAMPANT drug use.

The LAPDOG ZOMBIE and SWICHERRUES are a barrier to accountability by the POLICE.

The LVMPD quipped about me chasing a roommate with a 10 inch knife when I was the VICTIM at WYNN and SPRING MOUNTAIN which because of their LAX POLICE AUTHORITY I had no trust for HENDERSON POLICE either because the T-SHIRT I had not warn yet was botched which precipitated the attack and in turn I lost a lot of money , assets and my very home I had found.

The drugs being disregarded appreciably by LVMPD having LAX POLICE AUTHORITY has led more often to even more violent outcomes in this jurisdictions and others around the UNITED SYATES as a big example CLEVELAND OHIO.

The LAX POLICE AUTHORITY loses an incentive with RACKETEERING behavior as the LAPDOG ZOMBIE AND SWITCHERRUES are a real good example of their RACKETEERING.

Immoral Authority

Authorities who preach moral values but practice immoral acts and who often live a secret hedonistic lifestyle. In some cases, Institutions like churches and political parties can create institutional barriers that help enable immoral acts.

The children in the Sunday school had a very hard time understanding the difference between a Moral Authority and an Immoral Authority. Some of the students found it especially hard to understand, especially those with first hand knowledge.

death of the author

A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.

Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!

Jackie didn't have the Authority

Jackie Weaver

Jackie Weaver – if you recall the dialogue from the jaw-droppingly chaotic parish council meeting – had “no authority” to remove councillors from the meeting. “No authority at all.”

Jackie didn't have the authority to kick them out of the meeting.
