I am more frightened of the law than of criminals. Thinking that law enforcement doesn't already take matters into their own hands and tap phones, check locations, etc. is ignorant. Even kids know to be frightened of uniformed law enforcement now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-34391837020495323692012-10-01T20:44:26.236-05:002012-10-01T20:44:26.236-05:00Back when I was a paleo-conservative I thought tha...Back when I was a paleo-conservative I thought that law enforcement could do no wrong--they were forthright and honest, I could not see any problem with giving them any and all information, warrant or no.<br /><br />The scales have fallen from my eyes.<br /><br />Folks need to wake up to their freedoms being trampled into the sod and "arise and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time."

In this case, the judge and his friends threatened the litigant (the "victim") with "death" and seized all of his possessions, without any notice or hearing, prohibited him from hiring a lawyer, and essentially into a bizarre civil lockdown. The litigant has been under this civil lockdown order for nearly two years, and is prohibited from having a lawyer, from owning any possessions, from freely traveling, from working, etc… The judge redistributed the litigants property to the judge's friends. <br /><br />http://LawInjustice.com/ has details about this disturbing case and some quotes from the judge:<br /><br /> THE COURT: "I'm telling you don't screw with me. You are a fool, a fool, a fool, a fool to screw with a federal judge, and if you don't understand that, I can make you understand it. I have the force of the Navy, Army, Marines and Navy behind me."<br /><br /> THE COURT: "You realize that order is an order of the Court. So any failure to comply with that order is contempt, punishable by lots of dollars, punishable by possible jail, death"<br /><br />It' hard to believe, but this really is true<br /><br />Cronyism is the most insidious form of corruption and is widespread.
