Quote:That afternoon, a 3-star General told me that he had just
ordered 1,500 copies of my diploma mills book (he did!), and would put one on the desk of every key
person under his command.

Quote:Funny how, on the heels of allegations here that Klempner and his clones are anti-military, he digs up a fable about his tight relationship with a "3-star general." Probably some homeless lesbian who used to work at a Salvation Army store in SF.

Quote:Threats are emerging in cases large and small, on the Internet, by telephone, in letters and in person. In Washington, D.C., two men have pleaded not guilty to charges of vowing to kill a federal prosecutor and kidnap her adult son if she didn't drop a homicide investigation. The judge in the CIA leak case received threatening letters when he ordered prison time for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff. A man near Richmond, Va., was charged with mailing threats to a prosecutor over three traffic offenses. The face of a federal judge in Washington, D.C., was put in a rifle's cross hairs on the Internet after he issued a controversial environmental ruling, judicial sources said.

Quote:David Gonzales, a U.S. marshal in Arizona, said deputies put the judge under 24-hour protection for about a month, guarding his home, screening his mail and escorting him to court, to the gym and to Mass.

Quote:Jackie Junti sends the link to a Seattle Times story below, with her comments, including a quote from Eric Hoffer: "You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you."

According to the story, people in black robes are getting frightened. Given outrages of justice such as the Olofson case, I reckon they have a right to be.

I have long contended, attempting to warn those who think the Leviathan can act with impunity, that if the law and the Constitution no longer protect us, then it no longer protects them either. This is the predictable consequence of Waco Rules, reinforced by the object lesson of the blatant framing of David Olofson. Why, if we cannot expect a fair trial in federal court, SHOULD we respect federal judges? There is certainly no incentive to do so.

And if federal judges have the long-term memory of a fruit fly, many American citizens remember what they do not. They have forgotten the Original Sin of Waco, but we have not.

They have forgotten the multiple miscarriages of justice that characterized that federal massacre of citizens at the hands of their own government, but we have not.

They have forgotten that no one in the federal constabulary or the Mandarin class of politicians and judges was ever held to account for it, but we have not.

They have forgotten it because they wish to forget it, but we who wish to remain free cannot.

Even sixteen years later, therefore, Waco is not an unfortunate scar upon the body politic as some would conveniently believe, it is an oozing abscess that still threatens to become a deadly systemic infection.

You see, we remember why the FBI chose to conclude the stand-off with an assault on 19 April, the birthday of Eliot Ness, the ATF's patron saint.

We remember why, even as the flames leaped over the funeral pyre of dead babies, that the FBI went in and raised an ATF flag with four stars on it -- marking the four dead ATF agents who died in the original assault.

We understand the message the FBI was sending -- WE are the Leviathan. YOU do not DARE kill any of US, even in legitimate self-defense (which is what a Texas jury later found it to be) without being paid back 20 to 1, even if that means we asphyxiate and burn your women and children along with you.

If we believe Eric Hoffer, the FBI has shown us what the Leviathan fears -- death, personal or impersonal as your perspective might be -- death at twenty of them to every one of their victims.

Can we then expect, as the Gangster Government grows more rapacious and its depredations upon life, liberty and property grow more widespread and tyrannical, and the opportunities for redress within the system become fewer to the point of becoming a bad joke of mythical memory, that employees of that criminal gang will NOT be assassinated?

I do not advocate the assassination of federal employees, but given the twin abscesses of Waco Rules and now Olofson Rules, I understand the thought process.

Well, you'd expect a row of god fearing citizens applying to black-robed Torquemadas for just relief in the name of the Constitution or other CACATA CARTA that supposedly make our loving post-WWII world go round.
Wrong.
Superior courts 'made it known' not to waste time...that they'd reject any appeal on the matter.
Now not even Nazi Germany went that far (in fact, some were 'judged out' of concentration camps still in 1943 ).
The reason is that big brother needs the amount of money it says it needs, not one cent less...
Of course the good shepherd needs that in order to lead us, mindless flock, to the valley of plenty where he will offer us a feast in front of our enemies blahblah...

Quote:What about Germany? They send lawyers to jail for introducing evidence in court to defend people charged as hate criminals. Perhaps only the rhetoric has changed but the mindset remains.

Of course.
Now Germany is only a third rate crippled country whose 'power' is no longer measured in squadrons but in piles of junk bonds and lines of crumbling megacompanies.
However, they now try to prosecute new heretics worldwide, much as they tried to do in 1939-45.
You'd be surprised to learn how Himmler started his GESTAPO business recruiting people from surveillance agencies in the liberal and socialdemocratic Weimar republic.
After WWII a Nazi law preventing the membership of 'outlawed' movements (namely communist) from joining the civil service became the backbone of the new, 'fantastically democratic' Germany.
We are more controlled today in the most restrained Banana republic than under Hitler...most places are under camera surveillance.
I read recently of a new, vast speed trap system being set in motion...for our own good, what else? Frauds connected with the slimy speed trap underworld have been exposed repeatedly and even castigated in court, but to no avail...a few more billions so that big brother can build that cute bridge where there is no river.
PFFT!
