"The Most Egregious Sections Of Law I've Encountered During My Time As A Representative"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means — to declare that the government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal — would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this court should resolutely set its face.

 

–  Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice, in 1928

While most Americans are busy Christmas shopping and making preparations for trips to see family, Congress remains hard at work doing what it does best. Giving gifts to Wall Street and trampling on citizens’ civil liberties.

I knew the plebs were about to be royally screwed a week ago when I published the post: Wall Street Moves to Put Taxpayers on the Hook for Derivatives Trades. The piece concluded with the following:

Remember what Wall Street wants, Wall Street gets. Have a great weekend chumps.

Naturally, Wall Street got what it wanted. In fact, this provision was so important to the financial oligarchs that Jaime Dimon called around to encourage our (Wall Street’s) representatives to support it. The Washington Post reports that:

The acrimony that erupted Thursday between President Obama and members of his own party largely pivoted on a single item in a 1,600-page piece of legislation to keep the government funded: Should banks be allowed to make risky investments using taxpayer-backed money?

 

The very idea was abhorrent to many Democrats on Capitol Hill. And some were stunned that the White House would support the bill with that provision intact, given that it would erase a key provision of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation, one of Obama’s signature achievements.

 

But perhaps even more outrageous to Democrats was that the language in the bill appeared to come directly from the pens of lobbyists at the nation’s biggest banks, aides said. The provision was so important to the profits at those companies that J.P.Morgan’s chief executive Jamie Dimon himself telephoned individual lawmakers to urge them to vote for it, according to a person familiar with the effort.

 

The nation’s biggest banks — led by Citigroup, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America — have been lobbying for the change in Dodd Frank, which had given them a period of years to comply. Trade associations representing banks, the Financial Services Roundtable and the American Bankers Association, emphasized that regional banks are supportive of the change as well.

 

But the regulatory change could also boost the profits of major banks, which is why they are pushing so hard for passage, said Simon Johnson, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund and a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

 

“It is because there is a lot of money at stake,” Johnson said. “They want to be able to take big risks where they get the upside and the taxpayer gets the potential downside,” he said.

While that’s bad enough, the lame duck Congress clearly didn’t consider its job done without legislating away the 4th Amendment. Here is some of what one of the only decent members of Congress, Justin Amash, wrote on Facebook:

When I learned that the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 2015 was being rushed to the floor for a vote—with little debate and only a voice vote expected (i.e., simply declared “passed” with almost nobody in the room)—I asked my legislative staff to quickly review the bill for unusual language. What they discovered is one of the most egregious sections of law I’ve encountered during my time as a representative: It grants the executive branch virtually unlimited access to the communications of every American.

 

On Wednesday afternoon, I went to the House floor to demand a roll call vote on the bill so that everyone’s vote would have to be recorded. I also sent the letter below to every representative.

 

With more time to spread the word, we would have stopped this bill, which passed 325-100. Thanks to the 99 other representatives—44 Republicans and 55 Democrats—who voted to protect our rights and uphold the Constitution. And thanks to my incredibly talented staff.

Block New Spying on U.S. Citizens: Vote “NO” on H.R. 4681

 

Dear Colleague:

 

The intelligence reauthorization bill, which the House will vote on today, contains a troubling new provision that for the first time statutorily authorizes spying on U.S. citizens without legal process.

Last night, the Senate passed an amended version of the intelligence reauthorization bill with a new Sec. 309—one the House never has considered. Sec. 309 authorizes “the acquisition, retention, and dissemination” of nonpublic communications, including those to and from U.S. persons. The section contemplates that those private communications of Americans, obtained without a court order, may be transferred to domestic law enforcement for criminal investigations.

 

To be clear, Sec. 309 provides the first statutory authority for the acquisition, retention, and dissemination of U.S. persons’ private communications obtained without legal process such as a court order or a subpoena. The administration currently may conduct such surveillance under a claim of executive authority, such as E.O. 12333. However, Congress never has approved of using executive authority in that way to capture and use Americans’ private telephone records, electronic communications, or cloud data.

Now watch the following video:

Finally, this is what I think of Congress:

This is a good time to sneak shit through. Lame duck Senate, two years for the new leadership to "be disgusted by what the previous leadership snuck through".

Now, two years of Obama crawling on his belly, signing whatever they want (except the ACA, his *legacy), just so they don't impeach him.

Yeah, UCC ninjas are a funny bunch.  They don't seem to realize that the law is whatever TPTB want it to be at that particular moment.  Totalitarians only obey the law of the strong.  The little people need to get strong or get off the grid.  Preferrably both.

The law has been a psyops for at least 100 years.  The serfs wouldn't work so hard if they knew that everything they have can be taken on a whim.  Fewer serfs would become cops if they knew they would become soulless henchmen enforcing the whims of the aristocracy against their fellow serfs. The law is a psyops against "good" cops, and cops who are insecure enough that they need to be repeatedly told they are heroes.  And so the Law, supposedly designed to protect against theft and violence, became the primary instrument of theft and violence, and most people are too stupid or greedy to admit this- especially cops.  

This is accomplished by bribery and whipping up moral panics, leading to a million regulations, many of them contradictory, with severe punishments for disobedience.  Everyone is a crimminal (see the book Three Felonies Per Day).  Therefore, They can selectively enforce the law against anyone they don't like.  Legal matters are decided the way They always wanted them to be:  Secret handshakes, bags of cash, bargaining on the golf course using other peoples' lives as chits.

Most people who think they can use the VIP backdoor to the law with some magic-word UCC opt out are in for a rude surprise.  Maybe they let it happen a few times so that those who desperately want to believe in working within the system can maintain a delusional ray of hope while wasting years poring through dead end mumbo jumbo.  Most of the time They will just ignore the law, or throw the book at you, using one of their hundreds of other spiderwebs to ensare you.  

Even if an unobstructed path to freedom still technically exists within the vast maze of the law, little people will never get to use it because judges are not computers running on strictly procedural logic.  They are humans.  They can be bribed, hold you in contempt for bullshit, deny valid appeals, and stall while you rot in jail.  They can even willfully apply the wrong section of the bankruptcy code to help Corzine steal billions.  They know they will never be punished for any of this.  Those who don't give a shit about little peoples' lives get promoted.  

Conversely, judges get kicked off the gravy train if they ignore the book and the prosecutor and dispense justice instead.  So the judges serve Mammon.  They help with the systemic goal of hollowing people out, financially and spiritually.

There are also laws and then there are the secret "second set of books". Here are the levels of law, in generally declining order of opaque Kafkaness and potential for injustice. I considered bookending the list with satanic law and Divine law, but that's a whole nuther can of worms.

  • Protocols.  Schemes dreamed up by Rothschilds and their flunkies in central banks, NY, DC, the EU and the UN.  They start wars.  They divide us against each other.  Everyone is subtly enslaved without knowing.  Think Agenda 21, 9/11, inflation, fraudclosure, etc.  Many effects trickle down to local laws. Throw in some talmudic law for good measure.
  • Martial law.  They can spy on you.  They can torture you.  They can disappear you.  They can suicide you.  They just say "This is Constitutional, 9/11 9/11 9/11, Amen" and it's all good.  What are you going to do about it, bitch?  We're lucky they haven't widely applied this to US citizens... yet.
  • Policies.  Policies are laws about when to selectively enforce other laws.  Made in secret by cops and bureaucrats.  Feds often provide the manuals and the funds (or threat of pulling funds).  Policies are the laws that matter most to you, which is why you will only find out about policies the hard way.  Tom Ball wrote an excellent manifesto on this before burning himself to death outside a New Hampshire courthouse.  http://www.zerohedge.com/article/guest-post-new-hampshire-man-burns-self...
  • Regulatory law.  Kind of the economic version of martial law.  It's about robbery and protecting favored cartels.  You often find out about it only after you have some success with your business or project.  Back in the good 'ole days, The Sludge Monster from the Bowels of City Hall was the biggest legal threat to the prosperous, but at least it was local.  Now it has metastasized and gone global. Locals often aren't even in control anymore.
  • Case law.  Made by judges with an agenda against freedom.  Case law isn't technically secret, but you will probably pay a lot to find out what it is and whether you can get it applied in your case.
  • The legislative sausage mill.  The best laws money can buy.  Their complexity means they remain secret to most legislators until after they have passed.  Remember "We have to pass this bill to find out what's in it"?
  • The Constitution.  Still on the books but widely ignored in practice.  Briefly mentioned to some naive schoolchildren in hopes they might build their adult lives around some crazy idea that a law which protects the people is the supreme law of the land.  Other than its usefulness in maintaining illusions of freedom, the Constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper, as Bush would say.
  • Common Law.  So good They had to erase it.  Irrelevant except in the fever dreams of a few cranks.
  • Natural Law.  It is absolutely taboo to even speak about Natural Law, because it quickly exposes the entire legal system as illegitimate.

OK, perhaps there is one reason why the puppetmasters might let the little people opt out of UCC.  They have occult reasons for wanting people's consent before fucking them.  Are they afraid of a higher judge? Do they think He is so easily swayed by insane legal theories?  Their claims of consent are ridiculous.  Apparently writing our name in block letters, missing occult symbolism in public, and caving into threats over seemingly innocuous things are enough to chain us to our masters and let them drag us down into damnation with them.

Questions for the UCC ninjas:  Do you think cops will ever be held accountable for murdering people for illegal camping, selling loosies, etc?  What do you think would happen if you tried to do a citizens' arrest of a corrupt cop or bureaucrat?  When a prisoner's appeals are denied and he is broke and in solitary confinement and the media ignores his case because it is a just cause, does his crying make a sound? When one of satan's minions gets his head blown off in self defense, does it make a sound?

I disagree that voting doesn't matter. Partisan voting is the problem. One should ALWAYS vote against the incumbent, for whoever can beat him, regardless of the party (with very, very few exceptions. Ron Paul was one, as was Dennis Kucinich, and perhaps Bernie Sanders is still worth keeping, although marginally in the case of the latter two.

Keeping the crooks from amassing too much power is as good as you will be able to do... as a minimum, it will feel good to make them feel more insecure.

The Constitution does not live on parchment, it lives in the heart of the American people. It requires us to protect and serve it, so it can serve and protect us, the American people.

If the Constitution is no longer the "Law of the Land" then who and what is law? Who or what takes up the vacuum? What yardstick of freedom is then to be used to measure the boundary of our freedom with that of the evil that wishes to enslave us. To what degree are evil and slavery to be allowed to penetrate our lives, our homes, and our humanity?

After all, the Constitution flows form the people to the people:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

They can only kill the Constitution if you kill it where it resides in you; if you kill it for them. Otherwise it lives, and you, and we, live.

An American, not US subject.

One of my favorite quotes. I do believe it was a well intentioned document., meant to restrain govt and minimize it's impact and influence on people's lives. But it becomes more or less meaningless when the very people to take solemn oaths to uphold and protect it then turn around and vote for shit like this. I don't believe it authorizes this kind of govt, that was not its purpose, but spooner was right: it has quite obviously been powerless to stop it.

You've let everything dissolve around you into a pile of steaming shit and yet still nothing is being done.

Note that the "you" as used above isn't towards you personally. I guess I just get depressed and shake my head when I hear the keyboard warriors over in the USA spouting off about how great their right to arms is and how they are ready to stand up against the repressive govs but fuck all ever EVER happens. It's all talk. Talk one gets tired of after reading the same shit for 20 years.

The Constitution establishes a trust of which you may choose to be a beneficiary by becoming a citizen of the United States.  Otherwise you may be domiciled in America without being a citizen (exchanging your loyalty to the state for protection by the state).  That is the simple explanation.  The devil is in the details.

I can not be alone here, I can not be the only person reading all this and feel that no one I know really gives a rats ass.

If I hear one more person say to me "Well, there is nothing I can do about any of this", while they complain about everything under their noses....I too will begin to say.... 'Well, there is nothing I can do about it'.

I hate to think that perhaps in 10 years I will be grass fertilizer and leave this planet seeing my counrty become what we were all told and know what the enemy was.  You know the one over there.

So I ask all you young Rebublicians reading this, how can/could you let this new power pass into the hands of a president that you do not trust and have stomped your feet like mad childern over his use of executive priviledge and love of wall street?  The answer can only be that everything is a staged show.  I also ask, how will Republicians fair once they inherit the power, the debt, the anger, the madness. Tell me, so I can go to my grave and know that America can be saved.  And, don't pan me...I was in Young Americans for Freedom from day one...if you don't know who they are, you should.

There is simply no way to reverse this process within the system because our representatives are unresponsive. I wrote letter, sent faxes, emails and even dropped off letters to my Congress people from 2008-2010. The responses I receive tell me that only staff members read these things and send back canned responses. Yet lobbyists can walk the halls of Congress at will. Nothing we can do will change this. We started on this path in the late 90s, it accelerated over the next decade and has now reached the point that unless you have millions of dollars to spend you can't even get the attention of your representative. Most do not even hold town hall meetings any longer because they know the anger and fear that is out there. The only way out is through. We have to wait patiently for this financial edifice to collapse and then pray that we will have the will to remake a fairer system. It might be a decade or more before that happens. If they can keep enough people happy, despite increasing despair and poverty it might never happen - or at least aburptly. We have to come to grips with the knowledge that the people have lost.

I believe, with all the information that's come out, and by the actions that demonstrate both parties are equally corrupt and care nothing for average Americans, that the voting machine is an IQ test.

 

If you touch it, you pass (in the eyes of the corrupt pols).

 

In my book, if you touch a voting machine, you fail an essential IQ test that demonstrates an inability to grasp the big picture that government does not exist to protect us or serve us.  It exists to steal money from us by force to fund parasites and criminals.

 

Left or right, Shaniqua or Jamie Dimon/Corzine.  It does not matter.

Voting would matter if only people who receive any money from the government (whether a welfare check, a paycheck, a bailout, an SS check, medicare, pension checks, anything) could not vote.

Otherwise, as long as the takers can vote, they will always and without fail vote to take more.  It's like letting minor children have a say in your household budget when they contribute nothing. "yeah dad, iPhone 6 for all with unlimited data plan, plus brand new Camaro SS's for each kid when the hit 16".

Voting and elections in this country are as fraudulent as every other institution has become.

 

A few weeks ago, when people would say "whoo hoo, how bout them repubs?" I would say "nothing will change" and immediately find a way to end that conversation because talking with retarded people is a waste of time.  You'll never make them see that which they cannot bear to see.

Faith in failed institutions is more comfortable and easier.

 

That's the New American Way.

Judicial Watch later sued and found that by November 2010 they had swiped 27 trill (Later bumped up to 40). Most of the public still thinks it was 1 1/2 trill and that it was paid back.

Mencken was right:  at some point, you hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

The issue is whether you're slitting the right throats.  Time will tell, but if they are easy to get to, they're really not the ones ones you're looking for.  I'm thinking in particular of the guy (WA and CA) who killed a Filipino mailman because he was a "target of opportunity";  please believe me, killing Filipino postal workers will not address the problem.

I do think that current events tell us that there are plenty of people, myself included, who in the right circumstances will prefer death before dishonor.  Hell, that's one of the few things that would get me to move back to the USA.....

§1021: (a) Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force . . . includes the authority for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain covered persons . . . pending disposition under the law of war.

(b) . . A covered person under this section is any person as follows:

c) . .  The disposition of a person under the law of war . .  may include the following:
(1) Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force. . .

(d) . . . Nothing in this section is intended to limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.

(e) . . . Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.

§ 1022: (b) (1) . . . The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
(2) . . . The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States.

They will defy us building jack shit that is not within their realm. Unless we take over that realm. Now the challenge is - what is our realm?

I do not own my realm yet but I work a little every chance I get to define it. Define it. Make it mine.

It's that time of year, the time of brotherly shove. You go shopping and fight the crowds and you fight for a parking place and now you can fight for rights becuase you ain't got none!

These unenforceable laws on paper are getting tired.

 

They'll evaporate like a puddle on a hot highway when the shit really hits the fan.

Laws are only for societys that can afford them.

A mad max world has no need of no stinking laws.
