Calling the Bluff, Part 1 - The Plea Deal

"When I am weaker then you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principals; when I am stronger then you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles."

             

-Frank Herbert

Children of Dune

Hey kids, it's me again. Yes, I'm still in Polk County Jail. The game of Chicken is still on, and it looks like it's to the death. 

They made a plea today. 2 years probation, mental reconditioning back to the Matrix (Mental Evaluation AND Mental Treatment... like the drug evaluation, it kinda sounds like they already know what the results of the evaluation are going to be, doesn't it?), 80 hours of community service, restitution (for...what exactly??) Another drug evaluation (and treatment...again, for all the drugs I don't do), VORP, 5 years, no contact order... anything else? No thanks. I think I'd rather go to prison, if that's the end result. 46 months at the most, is what I'm being told. Sure, if I take the deal, I'd be free...but at what cost? First, I'd have 4-3rd degree harassment (convicted), and a 1st degree harassment, stalking and threats on my record. My chances of getting a decent job anywhere? Next to zero. 2nd, with that kind of record, they can keep doing it and doing it, and everytime they arrest me, they can get more and more money. Anytime they don't like what I'm doing, BAM... call out the troops and screw me some more. Nope. Not gonna happen.

3rd, you know the hoop game, Find them mental, keep em coming in for federal funding. Same with the need for drug treatment. And the probation game? No thanks. I'd say 50% or better of the people in jail are in on bogus probation violations.  Again I say, no thanks, I pass.

Finally, why am I doing this again? I'd plea out, and be free...and go home, and give up I'd be letting myself down, I'd be letting my wife down and I'd be letting my daughter down. More than that, I'd be letting America down. Sorry, freedom isn't worth all that.

Moreover, the crooks would win... and there's no way I'll ever let that happen, America. This trial isn't just for us. It's for us all. For my family...for every man and woman I'm incarcerated with...and for every citizen in this county. It's time to stand against those who oppress us, once and for all.

Quit? Are you serious? Whatever it takes America. I think I've said it often enough; I'm willing to pay the price for freedom, even if the price is the loss of my own. Don't quit. Quitting does not equal winning. A plea deal is a cop out. No matter how good it might look to breath the free air again, you're just graduating from a cell to more chains. Most of all, your oppressors win...again. It has to stop, or it's as good as your saying "It's ok to ruin my life...please stop back by and do it again, anytime you like." As ridiculous as what I'm doing might seem now, the war is lost the minute I take their terms. Should a jury of my peers say I'm guilty, then I'll do what I must. And when I'm released, my time will be done, my conscience clear. More than that, when my daughter comes to find me, I'll able to look her in the eye to tell her that I never gave up on her. That, to me?  Makes it all worth it. Pray for them, not for me. They rank in the already damned. I just want my family back. And I won't give up until I get it. Namaste.

Addendum: I won't be taking the plea. I'm taking the risk. My lawyer (stand - by council) believes we have a good chance to beat the whole case back, and come out with one serious misdemeanor, and a little more jail time. Call this taking one for the team.

THEODORE BOOKER ARRESTED FOR MY "CRIME" IN L.A.

Yeah, so for those of you just getting here to the blog, in case you don't know what our Government is doing these days, well, here's a doozie for ya.  See, there's 3 things that your current Government wants from us more than anything....our guns, our children, and our silence, so that they can continue to commit their crimes against America, and against humanity.

If you look down a couple of posts, you'll see something about Theodore and Adonis Booker.  Also, down a ways, is an article about a newborn that they kidnapped right here in my town.  Since I posted the article about the woman in my town, the woman involved has just up and disappeared.  I haven't heard from her in almost 5 days.  There's another woman's story, whose story I have already deleted for other reasons, that I haven't seen on Facebook for a few days either.  Also, since then (last night), they busted into my friend Theodore's apartment, took his kids, and took him to jail...for something that I did, with a ridiculously high bond ($500,000), they won't even tell his wife what they're charging him with (because there WAS NO CRIME!!!)...AND MY NAME...is all over the sworn affidavits.  They also took his computers, electronics, and phones.

Why am I still here?  That should be obvious, if it isn't already.  For one, they've already taken all I had.  My wife's only daughter has been also taken by CPS here.  For two, they want me quiet.  Since putting me in jail (like they did a couple of days ago) didn't work out so well for them, they have chosen, instead, to pick on the people in my list of articles.  See, when it was just my story here in the blog, I looked like a special case.  But with other people's horror stories out there, well, it's much worse for them...because it exposes those around the country...and the world, in what they're doing.  The more you see, the less likely it is that they will continue to get away with what they're doing.  They can't take me down, because really, I have committed no real crime.  They also can't take anything away from me, because I have nothing for them to take.  So instead, they have opted, obviously, to begin making me pay for what I'm doing, by picking on those who have chosen to present their stories to me to expose.

I called the FBI 4 times.  The video above shows what they're doing everytime I call.  No one wants to inform me as to why this man was arrested for what I did, and why I'm a free man.

Oh one more thing, that they have OBVIOUSLY forgotten, I have an email program that tells me everytime they open one of my emails...and emails, recently, have been opened over and over again....by those of L.A. county...and those of MY county, as recently as 5 minutes ago for L.A. county.  Now why would they be doing that, I wonder?  I would say it would be to see how I react, wouldn't you??  Like, maybe they think I'll take it all down, to save others?  Good thinking!

But shutting me up is going to be no easy task.  No, this sort of behavior from them tends to be a lot like throwing gas on an already blazing fire.  No, you idiots in LA and in Carroll County Iowa, you're going to have to do better than that.

Here are some shots of them opening my emails, and how recently, to boot.  Eat that, criminals.  You will, someday, hang for your treason...I'll be the executioner, watching and smiling as the life seeps out of your eyes.

The first is an LA County open, just occuring not 5 minutes ago.  The 2nd is a Carroll County open that happened at 9:14 a.m...both on a Sunday.  You tell me.

The Pre-Appeal Summary to the Assessment Summary Appeal Summary

https://spiritualmusclehead.wordpress.com/2014/11/17/jubilee-justice/

NOTE:  As of today, comment moderation is now OFF THE TABLE...this means that each and every citizen of America is now able to comment freely on these matters...on any post, without moderation.  Natrually, moderation will still be implemented, just not officially, and will happen without your knowledge.  This means you do NOT have to wait for me to OK IT...Now that I have more than enough to prove my case available here, online in my blog, I worry less about what people have to say.  What can you say?  We now have CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE OF THIS STATE'S CORRUPTION...What more could a blog author want???

UPDATE:  As of this time, the sargeant in charge of Des Moines Metro's Most Wanted page, found here:

http://mmw.dmgov.org/

one Sargeant Halifax; has been called by this father FOUR TIMES in the last two days.  No charges have been brought against this father, and yet his picture is still EMBLAZENED as being Des Moines MOST WANTED man, utilizing the same 1st Degree Harassment charge I was arrested (and bailed) for just 2 weeks ago...ahead of long-time resident Mr. Trombone, considered a very ruthless criminal.  Dangerous indeed.  I even took the time to remind him where I lived, in case he wanted to gather a posse to come and arrest me for NO CRIME.  Gotta love this s***, huh??

***************************************************************************************************

Well kids, the Pre-hearing for the Assessment Appeal was, in this FATHER'S opinion, a success.  Granted, Mr. Grant Dugdale, the assistant Attorney General in charge of railroading these parents in this hearing was a pain in the Kiester, as he Dug into us, over hill and Dale...as was Connie Dickema...I'm sorry, Diekema, the non-party representing the party of Methodist witnesses.  The real winner here though, suprisingly enough, was ALJ (Administrative Law Judge) Margaret LeMarche.  I gotta tellya kids, this woman, to me, was the epitome of everything I ever expected or thought a judge to be.  She was kind, fair and helpful...and by God, I think she might just dispense some real, honest, truthful judgement.

Not that it matters, or so I've been told.  No, from what I understand, if DHS isn't crazy about her ruling, well, they do one of two things.  a.) they bypass the judgement, and keep plugging along, doin' their own thing; and totally blow it off, or  b.)  They appeal the ruling...hoping for a judge that'll be more crooked and on their side.  I can understand this strategy.  When 75 percent of the judges are corrupt in Iowa, appealing just brings it around to someone a bit more on the side of evil, on the average.  Pretty good odds, if you're the spawn of the Deveel, I say.

Anyway, the attorney for those criminal doctors of Methodist brought up a valid point.  The Parent's rights as of this moment anyway, have been officially terminated...by the head crook in our juvenile case, Mr. William Price, the Dishonorable.  Then the idiot woman GAVE ME THE MEANS WITH WHICH I COULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE...Thank you Ms. Dickema...(oh hell with it, I like this spelling better anyway.)

And, of course, who should be involved in the hearing as well (I enjoyed just HAVING THE BITCH WITHIN EARSHOT...knowing she was listening to how I was gonna dig her career closer to being over), but the Bitch herself, Ms. Nieman.  Just hearing that voice again grated on my spine like no one's business.  By the way, it's important to mention that a new pair of videos has made it's way onto my youtube channel.  For those of you entirely too comfy on your couches to search or copy and paste YOUAREELS, I have, naturally, brought in the link for you, for ease of access purposes:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9pubNeFBc2YxGzL8S-HG5w

Go to the "Videos" tab, and you'll find two new videos.

The first, and finally, is the ENTIRE REMOVAL RECORDING, converted into video, set to the pictures from this blog.  Naturally, you'll wanna hold it up to this document:

Now remember kids, this is NOT for the faint of heart.  You might not be able to listen to more than a couple of minutes of this recording without wanting to seriously injure the social worker responsible, as, once again, she breaks several laws in this removal, as well as deprives the parents of EVERY SINGLE right available to them, or will, on the flipside, want to find and coddle the mother in order to comfort her through her ordeal.

Then, America, I insist that you IMMEDIATELY direct your attention to this website:

http://medicalkidnap.com

Here, all you need do is peruse the title of the articles on the first page in order to get a feel for what's going on with Child Protective Services/DHS EVERYWHERE IN OUR COUNTRY.  Any of it sound familiar?  It should.  A lot of it looks very similar to what these parents have endured, at the hands of this state and governmental agency, and at the hands of none other than METHODIST/UNITY POINT HOSPITAL.  Get me?  Feel me?  You should.

Anyway, the hearing is now officially set for May.  I'll keep you posted.  In the meantime, maybe I wasn't so crazy or guilty of anything...afterall.  Love ya.  Don't go changin'.  Let's continue to get it on.  :D

Corruption Part IV - The Collection Agency, Past and Present

http://votingamerican.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/540147_527427273974974_1779034061_n.jpg

Hey you's guys!!!  Long time no see, eh?  Nooo....no, wait.  I just posted a coupla days ago, right?  Well, I just gotta say that it's my intention...of course, sometimes I just really don't have a choice, but it's my INTENTION to leave my personal life outta this blog for a while.  I'm sure I'm losing readership as we speak.  How did we deserve this, right??

Anyway...I apologize, but the story was just getting too good to ignore, and I figure:  In for a penny, In for a pound or better, correctamundo?  Besides, I happen to know that a lot of you are, of course, the gloom and doom types...or love a good soap opera, real or imagined...or at the very least, love having someone around whose life you can read about, wipe the sweat off your brows and go..."Wow Judy.  I thought OUR lives were bad, look at THIS GUY'S LIFE!!  We could have it SO much worse than we do...SHEESH!!" and feel tons better about the crappy lives you THOUGHT you had.  Last but not least, DHS is monitoring everything I write these days, so it's best I not add fuel to their unconstitutional fire.

Well, anyway, we're gonna do what we had intended to do so many moons ago...we're gonna wrap up our little series on Corruption, one of my fav's.  Today's subject is "Collection Agencies", and promises to be right on up there with one of my betters...as well as one of my more windy.

Now...there was a post...*thumbs through the archive*....ahhhh, here it is.   A post put up June 21st, called "Internet Regulation part..." something or other, where I went off on a tangent about a "collection agency" named NCS (National Credit Services), a subsidiary (evidently) of National Platinum, a company that posed as an online payday loan company, but was actually a virtual store front for a major national scam (that, by the way is still being used today).  Now, we're gonna start with the more sane credit collection agencies, and point out that us middle classed citizens have not only accepted that we are to be hounded for the remainder of our days for past utility bills, overdue credit cards, unpaid bank loans, bounced payroll checks, etc.  We know this, because we have no more jobs to apply to that Pedro, Americk and Hunjaji haven't already stolen from us at half the pay, and therefore have no more money with which to catch up those grossly past-due bills.  But it's OK!!  Because now that our land-lines are obsolete, and these companies are not able to get us at home?  Now that there are laws in place that keep these people from harassing us at work?  NO PROBLEMMO!!  There are two collection agencies that some of us are yet not aware of that have been put in place, just in case.  I had no idea that these people would be knocking at my door, so I was caught TOTALLY by surprise, believe that.

In the usual sense?  Nope.  Nobody came to my door.  Nice.  On my cell?  Noooo...nobody called my cell.  In the mail...well, yeah, sorta...no, these people came via my TAX RETURNS!!  Oh yay.  Here's a direction I never expected collection to come a callin'...they now take my bills out of my tax returns!  You know, my state tax returns.  The money I get back that I should not be paying in the first place!

Are we talking about money I owe the state?  Nope.  No, the state, in it's infinite wisdom, is now COLLECTING MY LOCAL COUNTY AND CITY BILLS FOR ME!!  I love this, someone said to me, "Yeah, but at least they're getting all paid up, right?"  Right.  But, um...see, I kinda already had a plan in place for this...and believe it or not, some of that did happen to come out of my tax return.  But I kinda liked that it was me that chose to pay it, not that they chose to take it.  And what's more, why is the state taking it upon themselves to be the collection agency...for the city I live in????  Are you SERIOUS?  And aren't we paying for this....WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS ANYWAY????  I mean, they gotta be paying somebody to check for money owed by the taxpayers to these places, and those people are getting paid...BY ME!!  So, listen to what I'm saying here...I'm paying...with my tax dollars...people that are looking for people I owe money to...so they can take it out of my tax refunds.  YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!  This is the ultimate in stupidity people.  This has got to be stopped!!!!  Can't you see what's happening to the state, and this country?  We owe other people money, so somebody got the hairbrained idea to start collecting bills for people so that more people can pay the money they owe the state, and the state can start getting more money once those bills are paid off, then the state can start paying what they owe to the federal government, so that the federal government can start A.) paying off their debts to other countries and save the dollar, or B.) spend more money that we don't have and crash.  Hmmm......lemme think about this for a minute...I think I'll choose B ALEX!!

We have, like every other crazy idea the state or the government comes up with, ROLLED OVER ONCE AGAIN and are just sayin'..."welp!!  That's just the way it goes!!"  Sheeple.  Prime Sheeple, ready for the slaughter.  OMG YOU PEOPLE, OPEN YOUR EYES TO WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!...we are brainless mindless Candy Crushers who are getting ready to let the states charge 4x the amount of money that we currently pay for speeding tickets.  THAT 100 DOLLAR TICKET YOU JUST PAID IS ABOUT TO BE 400 DOLLARS...GET A CLUE!!!  Stop this madness now, or pretty soon that $1.24 you overdrew the bank is gonna get collected by a firing squad and a little martial law.  Think about it.  :D

P.S. - If you don't feel this is ridiculous enough?  When my wife called an ambulance just two weeks ago to have her baby, well, they put a hold on my refund as well, to make sure it'll get paid...AND THE BILL IS ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD...AND THEY'RE TRYING TO COLLECT IT ALREADY!!!!

Corruption, Part III - Non-Profit Organizations

http://www.thedailysheeple.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/corrution-a.jpg

Not too long ago, about a year ago to be exact, CNN and the Times teamed up together to tell us about non-profit organizations, primarily charities, that raise money, often times under names that closely resemble good reliable charities, then either pay for-profit companies to solicit donations for them, or pocket the money for themselves.  Here's the story, you of course are going to absolutely love it:

http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/13/us/worst-charities/

Now, we've covered corruption in business.  Non-profits, I don't care how much you say it, are, regardless, businesses in and of themselves.  I could never really understand how you can call yourself non-profit, when you have to be in it to make some money.  No one starts a non-profit for the purpose of helping others, they do it because they need to be gainfully employed for themselves.  It's not possible to run a non-profit organization for no personal gain, you have to pay bills, pay employees, your own rent and feed your family.  So, therefore, a non-profit organization by its very definition is, no matter how you slice it, for profit...for SOMEONE - whether it be yourself or for the people that work for you.  About the only exception to that rule would probably be the already rich guy who starts a charity, a guy who already has everything he could ever want.  Of course, he'll be a generous soul.  This isn't to say, by the way, that there aren't tons of people out there, that, if they had the money, they'd do exactly what this guy's doing.  The difference, of course, is that they'd do it for the right and selfless reasons.

I just thought that, just for kicks....that maybe I should do this post just a little bit different.  Anyone can rattle the facts off to you.  But, just for fun, I think I'll turn this around a little...be unique.  So here's what we're gonna do kids...let's play role play.

I'll be the big bad non-profit idea, and you can be my partner that I'll sell on the idea.

"Hey, how are ya?  Name's Chris, and you just popped in on a very unique opportunity my friend.  You see, I was just sitting around the house...you know, moping around, bitching about the bills...thinkin' about how I never have enough money, you know?

Then it hit me...oh my God, why didn't I think of it before?  You know how you're always hearing about non-profs drummin' up millions...for cancer, for the eco-system, for AIDS, for trans-sexual rights, whatever, right?  I hear this stuff's EASY to get into my friend...I mean, I hate all that stuff...really sick, the way people treat animals, maybe we should start something that deals with that, I'm thinkin'...and there isn't anybody on earth that would turn us away, would they?  Nothing like a starving horse with his ribs showing or a picture of a dog with a chain mark around his neck and sad eyes to bring that money in...I know I'd give after I see that stuff.  Play 'em on the heartstrings, and the wallet is on auto-open.  I know mine would be, were places reversed.

So, here's the easy way of it...we get a hold of one of those grant writers...you know, the guy who gets the money from the government for these things, and we pay the guy to start writing..we ask for the money to buy a building of course, but if they can't get that, it's no biggie, we'll have him write to get us the lease money instead, and we can use that money to pay our rent and bills instead.  You and me, we can just work the phones ourselves for a while; you know, to save us the money on leasing a building and paying employees.  Then when we pay ourselves; we can collect double, since we're not really leasing that building.  Then we get us an accountant, you know, the kind that wouldn't mind bending the rules a little, maybe for a few extra bucks in his pockets here and there.

But here's the real beauty of it pal, the long and the short.  We find ourselves a name...one that sounds an awful lot like one that's a lot more reputable one...like...The Canine Rescue League...or the Wildlife Conservation Organization...make sure too, that when you're talking to your donors, use the acronym a lot, you know, like you've been in business for years, and it sounds like you've been doing this a while.  Hell, if you say it fast enough it almost sounds like the ARL.  You know, skip past the C as fast as you can.

Anyways, so people give up their money for charity...we start by getting a pretty nice salary anyway.  We're already gonna get double what we would normal, thanks to saving on the leasing of a building.  Hell, we might as well just pay ourselves an employee salary to boot, since we'll be doing most the work ourselves.

So anyway, we keep this on the up and up.  We find good places to send at least half our money donated to a few reputable places that deal with animals.  We pick some big names too, some that would give us some GOLDEN references.  Yeah, so we keep this up on the right for about a year...file taxes, make nice.  Then next year, we hire us oh, sayyy...20 or so people.  Have them man the phones.  Train 'em real well like we've learned to be.  We get them raising us a couple million this year.  We pay our employees well, we'll be able to keep 'em on board...by year two?  We should be able to find all kinds of places to hide the extra money.  Oh, sure, we'll keep sending the same amounts of money to the same places we have been, but since we only brought in $39,000 last year, and filed that, should be pretty easy to convince them we only brought about 20 or 25 thousand the next.  The folks we got last year, we're sure to be calling them again, since they've already heard our name.  We pay our accountant well to make sure he stays all loyal and stuff.  Round the end of the year?  We make sure and give our employees a  nice severance, then tell 'em we had to close this branch to help out the headquarters...you know the expenses a non-profit incurs, we're very sorry..oh, and whats that, relocation?  I'm really sorry, but the next nearest CRL is in St. Louis...you're more than welcome to apply on the website though...", then we close up shop, pat the girlies on the rump as they walk out that door with a nice severance and a small token thank you $20 bill.  We net a cool mil or two, then we move on to, say, Minneapolis and do the same thing, maybe a different charity type, different name...you feel where I'm going pal?  I don't really see how we can lose...long as we don't stay anywhere too long, and don't get greedy."

Not too hard a sell is it?  Oh sure, there are states and cities that have sufficient scrutiny in place to see this coming.  But there still way too many scammy charities out there who pay little...or nothing of what they bring in to the very thing they're raising that money for.  Worse yet, local and federal government does little to nothing to stop them.  Some have been warned to cease ops over and over and over again, and are still running...if not under that name, under a new one in a better and safer locations.

And you know, it's really pretty funny, I think about how much more paranoid you get about things like this as you get older; but you know, you can't really even trust websites anymore either.  Worse, you may be reading something that rates the top charities and the worst...and, after you've given up your money, you read another articles that rates the same charities in the opposite order, and, upon further investigation, you find out that the top ten rated charities are all owned by the same people.  And they're all rotten to the core, and you just donated to them getting that Maserati they've had their eye on for some time, that's for sure!

My suggestion to you, America?  Never take phone calls for charity.  And for God's sake, don't donate online all crazy either!  Don't take anybody's word for it, check things out for yourself.  Stick with names you know already (by heart), and check into anybody who comes close to a name, but it doesn't sound QUITE RIGHT.  Make sure and write up the ones that sound scammy, and report them immediately to your local Attorney General's office.    :D

Corruption, Part II: Business

http://business-fundas.com/2010/corruption-is-business-part-1/

Corruption in business is almost a standard in America, which, in and of itself, is one of the most massive harbingers of our eventual downfall.  Money flows through, into and out of our system so fast, it's impossible to tell where it comes from and where it goes anymore.  It's borrowed, lent, laundered, printed and destroyed so much, that the value of it is becoming anything but intrinsic.

What gets me, is that the dollar, which has been essentially non-backed by anything since 1913, is still portrayed as worth something in today's market.  It hasn't been...nor will it be worth, diddly...ever again.  For those of you that are unfamiliar with economics, when it was backed by visible gold and silver, then, and only then was it worth the paper it was printed on.  The appearance of the Federal Reserve Note signaled the eventual end of the dollars worth.  Oh, I've read things that say the dollar is just worth that...one dollar, to the rest of the world.  Bah!  If it's worth two cents (which I heard it was 20 years ago), I'll be shocked.  No, today's dollar, in case you're not sure, is worth the same as $20 was 50 years ago.  Wouldn't that put its current worth pretty much in the red?  Every federal reserve note you see is another bill of our debt that is supposed to represent what backs it up...which, if you believe the rest of the world (and myself - Please see America's ORIGINAL 26 Deadly sins, Day #6), Ft. Knox and the Fed are both empty of one single ounce in Gold.  The more we print up, the less it's worth, and it would seem that there's an awful lot of new money out there.

You're hearing, more and more these days, about an economic collapse, due to hit this year.  While a great deal of this is just others trying to make some cash off of gullible American Sheeple, utilizing "free" information they're selling (which is really very very funny...why ask for people to send you $39.99 for the reports proving this...if the dollar is gonna crash in a few months anyway??  Y'all are KILLING ME.  What, you're doing this in hopes you can live the good life for 3 months before it all goes south??  Gimme a break!), it truly wouldn't surprise me even a little if it did.  It'll happen for sure at some point...it has to.  You can't even see the numbers on the debt clock go up anymore they go by so fast now.  There's other stories out there that Obama plans to bring in another Golden Age too; that he's holding back on the reports that show just how much oil we've uncovered in Texas these days with vertical drilling, more than we've ever had, and more than any other oil producing nation to date; so that, when the time comes, he can raise us from the dead, in order to become so wildly popular that we'll beg him to serve more terms (hence the 3rd term rumor).  Whatever the case, we're either gonna be saved...or we're going to be doomed.  Hard to imagine either one at this point, but whatever goes, it won't be pretty, I'm certain.

I think the thing that bugs me the most is that, in our gross naivete, Americans fall for pretty much the same things over...and over...and over again.  But the lack of futures, of nest eggs, or anything to leave to our descendants brings us back around again, to try and trust, just so some scammer can take all our money away again.  I mean really, if we don't know how to recognize a Ponzi scheme by now, come on!!  And to all of you who dream up these little schemes, you may get away with your life this time, but for truly, someday, you're gonna screw the wrong American and...well, I wouldn't wanna be you, that's for sure.

It amazes me, the grand scale that some of these businesses and their scams get away with...as well as, regardless of years in jail, that these folks are accountable for after they get done spending millions of dollars of other people's money.  What's more, the lack of laws that should be in place to protect us, just in case.  But you see, we smaller people don't really matter, either to big business, or the judicial branch, either one.  The corruption is so rampant now, it's almost so commonplace as to be legal.  Sodom nor Gomorrah had nothing on our cities and their corporations, America.  We cater to them through our Government.  Bribery, Lobbying, its all there, and like anything else bad in the world, if you see it enough, you come to be OK with it.  Well, I'm sorry, but it's NOT OK, and you will be stood up to, believe that.  Someday, this little guy's voice WILL be heard, and the days of good business practice will be revived, of that you can bet.

They say business is corrupt...I say, in America, corruption is a business.  So the next time you're in a meeting, and someone says "OK, let's get down to business, shall we?"  Put your hand on your wallet and hold on tight, because chances are, you're fixin' to lose it.  :D

Corruption - Part I: The Police/Police State

Hey America!!  Guess what?  Everybody liked the last series so much, I thought maybe another one might be a good thing.  Let's do this one, hmmmm?  CORRUPTION.

And, where does corruption start and why?  Well, here's the funny thing about that.  Corruption starts with power, generally.

Corruption can also start with good honest people, generally after power is handed over to them or given to them freely. Let's say you're a bit of a submissive, and I told you that you have absolute power over everything I do.  The first thing you'd say is "Oh, don't be silly...I could never exercise that over you..."  Then when I keep insisting, well, you might re-think it.  See there, what I did?  I simultaneously planted doubt in your mind as to the power I offered you, as well as made you wonder if maybe this might be a good thing.  Then, let's say maybe I do something you don't like, and, remembering the power I offered you, you decide to test the waters...see what happens.  You then say "Hey!!  Don't do that, I don't really like that!!"  You will, more than likely, shrink back a bit, awaiting my usual fight in return...and it doesn't come.  I now say "Hey, it's OK.  You have that power now you know", as I give you an acknowledging nod and apologize, then refrain from my action.  Next thing you know, you're interjecting over what I say and do every time you see or hear something you don't like.  Once I stop standing up to you, you realize the power I offered you is real and true, and, once you figure that out, you might just abuse that privilege a little.  You then start balking me about petty things that really DON'T bother you, you just start enjoying your power more.  After that, I start noticing you trying what you do to me on others, thinking maybe they might back off a little too.  Hand the reigns over to a normally passive person, it isn't long before they're in the driver's seat, breaking the laws (of control) left and right.  Why?  You know why.  Absolute power?  Corrupts absolutely.

The same thing tends to happen with other people as well.  The accountant you put in charge of all of your finances, and you have a LOT of finances!  The thoughts going through this person's head after a while start to read like this:  "Hey, nobody else checks his books, not even the wife!  What would be the harm of taking a dollar or two out of the black column, say once a day?"  Or there's that new manager at the fast food restaurant you work for, who, just a year ago was flipping burgers right alongside of you and laughing at your jokes; and who is now tearing you a new orifice.  And let's not forget those sweet wonderful women who marry successful husbands. and who are now waited on hand and foot by them.  They were awful nice at first, what happened?  Now spoiled rotten by said husbands, you find yourself standing next to them at TJ Maxx, listening to them tongue-lash the store clerk because there was a small stitch malfunction in her new dress; all the while wondering how you ever considered this woman as a good possible friend of yours; and then turning 20 shades of red, as she draws attention to you that you never wanted to be a part of.

Probably a more notable and obvious example of corruptible-type people are our government officials - city, state, federal, it matters not.  They're candidates for the people while they try for the position, but just as soon as they get where they want to be, they begin suffering from a special strain of amnesia, indigenous to politicians, that causes them to forget about the people who put them there, whom they serve, who they really are and where they came from.  Now, instead, they choose to concentrate on more important matters.  Like how much their cut of the action might be if they help get this new law or that new law passed, how to help in covering up whatever trouble the higher-ups got themselves into, and, of course, how they can get re-elected when their term end nears.

Of course, the most terrifying and infuriating example isn't our government, our friends, or our mates.  There's really only one group on the face of this planet that makes me so angry I want to hang each and every one of them upside down and burn holes in their clothing with cigarette cherries -  and daily at that.  Yes, of course, I'm speaking of our boys in Blue.  Or Black.  Grey.  Olive Drab.  Whatever the color of their uniforms, I'm talking about the police.  Our "Protect(ors) and Serv(ant)e" persons.  Government officials make me angry too, for sure, but these guys....these people are in my neighborhood every...single...day.  They're asposed to be looking out for me and mine.  Oh, I'm sure their intentions are grand when they go in.  Heck, I'm even sure the better majority of them really want to bust real criminals and uphold the law, on their way in.  I'd even have to say, that when they come out of police training, they feel the same.  But as the badge on their shirt gets less shiny, month after month, something happens to these people.  Sure, they know the law, they've rattled it off more than they care to admit...but pretty soon, some of the more brazen of these keepers of the peace begin to make up their own laws, or at the very least, their own personal version of them.  Just like any job on earth (with the possible exception being the severity of this job on the human brain), after you work it for a while, and become more sure of your footing, you begin to imagine things you have little or no right to think.

Your job is tougher...you risk your life daily, you deserve more for doing it.  Things like this we've all imagined from time to time on our own jobs.  The options for the rest of us, not in a position of power, are rather limited.  It's either figure out a way to convince your boss you deserve more for the job you do (something that nearly never works out for you...ever); or figure out a scheme involving your job that could possibly make more money for you.  Then you conceive a way to rip the company off, get nailed by the accounting department, then get jailed.  Promptly.

Police-persons, on the other hand, (I think I just thought of the subject of my next post series - SOFT LANGUAGE) have oodles of options.  And they abuse these options on  a regular basis too.  Not only can you rip your "company" off, you can do it...without worry, consequence or accountability, as long as you don't get greedy about it...if that's possible for us Americans anyway.  It's like eating a Lay's Potato Chip...no one can eat just one!  Or opening an Oreo cookie package and reaching for a cookie...and you look again, and you've finished off half the package.  Corruption happens just like that.  One minute you're dipping out of the drug bust you made for an ounce, then before you know it, you're grabbing entire bricks, as you think "they didn't miss that ounce, I'm betting they won't miss a half a pound", and the corrupt officer is born.

Oh, but you know it's not just stealing we're talking about.  No, badge abuse never stops with theft, it can sift over to other things as well...like law-breaking.  "This guy's a real puke, he raped that girl last week.  Surely people would see me as a real hero if maybe I broke his jaw "accidentally" before he got to the police station." If it stopped there, and only happened in situations like this, every once a year or so, I'd say that officer might just get away with that. No, but it can't stop there, mostly because corruption is all-consuming, and only gets worse and worse.  That same officer then starts doing this sort of thing to people he might believe did what was said, before they're tried for their guilt.  The cuffs go on ridiculously tight, he sorta "bangs" the perp's head into the side of the police car as he's putting them in the back seat.  Not long after that, every one's fair game, innocent and guilty alike, male or female, adult or child.  They get away with more and more, and soon enough, their badge is their shield.  Nothing can touch them.  If you do something wrong, it's not a big deal, they just get suspended with pay anyway, right? Just until this blows over...

You might even wonder what it was that set me off on this path today.  Oh, trust me kids, this article's been a while in coming, let alone a whole series, I didn't even see that one coming.  It wasn't even considered then.  What set me off was a slew of Facebook posts, which aptly included a girl with special needs, 18, who wheeled herself out of her apartment with a knife in her hand because she was afraid of the outdoors, and was brutally murdered by police.  I suppose it's only fair of me to say, on the side of police, that she was the reason that 911 was called.  I suppose it would be equally fair to the victim to say that, they had dialed to get EMT's, not the police; and that they had done this before, and EMT's had come the rest of the times they'd had problems dealing with her.

The officer who shot her?  You got it, suspended with pay...til things blow over.  That website, including video of the newscast?  One of several that have been cropping up everywhere lately, and that I've referred to over and over again.  Here's the link for that video, as well as several like it:

And, of course, you've heard me refer to "Sheeple", over and over again...these folks are the coiners of the term.

Visit their website, and support their freedom of speech rights at all costs.  Please, if you have a few minutes, check out this story and this video as well, it brought real salty-like tears to my cheek:

Or, if your favorites bar is overloaded, and you just don't really feel like adding any new sites?  There's always the search box of good ol' Google...filled with only two words:  Police and Brutality.  You'll be filled immediately with YouTube video a-plenty.  It's because of folks such as these that the bell tolls and the truth is revealed, my dear readers.  If it weren't for them exposing the truth without consequence (yet...) that I'm able to blog to you with this many sins (thus far anyway).  Fight for your rights America, fight to preserve them, or the hammer may fall on us...hard, and fast.  :D

UPDATE:  OMG AMERICA!!  There has been U.S. Supreme Court decisions about being able to film the police in order to keep them from abusing their privelege...they say it's ok!!  And now APPLE, and the iPhone, are banding together with big brother to say NO!!  It's not NOT ok.  Apple has a patent on a technology that will give the police a way to disable all phones in an area where there is police activity taking place.  BAN THE iPhone!!  Write your congressmen!!  NOW, before your rights are GONE!!
