Ron Paul vs Legal Plunder

When I read the book The Revolution A Manifesto by Ron Paul he talked about something caled "legal plunder" and referred to Frederick Bastiat as a source of reference to legal plunder. What is legal plunder?

Frederic Bastiat, a political economist (1801-1850), defined legal plunder as when “…the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong.” He advised such a law be abolished without delay, for if allowed to remain, it would “spread, multiply, and develop into a system.”

That system would be Socialism followed by a Totalitarian state. When this country began itself, it too immediately thereafter began it's course for legal plunder as well. Those in positions to benefit themselves and their families took things for themselves through government such as the excellent paying jobs and benefits package that Congress voted themselves largesse, for example. This all comes at the expense of the taxpayers. Since then, we have become a country of freebies and government giveaways. Bastiat stated of Socialism:

“Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone.” ― Frédéric Bastiat

Simply put this means that their is always a price for government giveaways, that price is your freedom.

He further said:

“But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.” ― Frédéric Bastiat, The Law

That is what exactly happens as is proven by the disparity in our gap between the rich and the poor. It can also be seen by the legal system which continuously creates laws which curtail our freedoms and expands the government to its current leviathan form.

We have become a country thats major employer is the U.S. Government! Where do you think all that money comes from? That's right TAXES! How does this Socialist activity come into existence? Through laws and bad legislation which seek to make government dependents out of us all, or most of us save for  the rich. What is law asks Bastiat? It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense!`In other words, laws were not meant to impede liberty, but rather to expound upon it. It is only through Socialism that we find ourselves mired in State Stautes which curtail freedoms.

Conversely, Congressman and Presidential hopeful Ron Paul is the only candidate that seems to get this and fully comprehends that we are on a road to economic mayhem which will abruptly culminate in economic collapse if drastic measures are not taken immediately, which is what he proposes in his plan to resore America to a far better state than what we think we have today.

For those of you who want to more fully grasp why Ron Paul is far and beyond any other candidate running for the office of president it is crucial that you understand what is currently going on in our economy and what has been happeneing the past hundred years. Below I will provide a link to the Mises Institute and a short (2 hour) audiobook titled The Law, by Frederick Bastiat in which you will most probably come to stark realizations you never thought of within 15 minutes of listening. I plead with you to take some time to endeavor to understand our plight and listen to this audiobook. I'm not asking you to give up your football games and sporting events, I'm just asking you to take a short time to understand what it is your government is doing to us all and the repercussions which are certain to follow if we don't take action immediately.

The PNAC and Most Blatant "Coincidences" of 9-11-2001

Most Blatant "Coincidences" of 9-11-2001

 .

Partial list of people associated with the Project For The New American Century.

- People are identified as being connected to the PNAC because either they are listed on the organisation’s web site, or their names appear as authors/contributors on official PNAC documents. Information current to Dec. 2004.

            This is a list of the neocons that were members of the Dick Cheney "think tank" known as the  Project for a New American Century  PNAC. This group of individuals under the auspices of Richard B "Dick" Cheney not only commandeered the 2000 election, they all played an integral role in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. These individuals along with John Ashcroft should all be tried for treason and war crimes without question. Dick Cheney is the ringmaster and should be held with feet tothe fire. Please read this list and think about the years from 2000 til now and what is going on with our country. We have all been had by the war profiteers.

History: Under Secretary of State for Economic and Agricultural Affairs, then White House Deputy Chief of Staff in the Bush Sr. administration.

Just look at those names and their credentials. Like dual Citizen and Deputy Secretary of the Pentagon Budget Dov Zakheim for example under who's watch the Pentagon was reported to have been missing $2.3 trillion dollars which was reported on September 10, 2001 the day before the attacks in which , interestingly,  the very section of the Pentagon where the Office of Naval Intelligence had civilian workers trying to figure out where all the money went.   Incidently, Zakheim retired away to his Israeli home just prior to all the hoopla. Gotta wonder?

Founding members include the likes of Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and Jeb Bush to name a few. It should also be noted that this group of individuals was well in place long before the 2000 election coup. Remember Jeb Bush George's younger and far brighter little bro) and the Florida vote?

In order to demonstrate just how insanely coincidental the existence of this very multifarious and multi faceted group is or was one need understand just what they were "thinking."

The PNAC's agenda was a massive military buildup as shown here in their Rebuilding Americas Defenses pdf with a playbook right out of Zbignew Brezinskis earlier works titled The Grand Chessboard http://sandiego.indymedia.org/media/2006/10/119973.pdf
(another coincidence I guess).

When reading the Rebuilding dossier I could not help but notice on page 51 that it stated in regard to establishing their goal and I quote:

"Further, the process of transformation,even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor. Domestic politics and industrial policy will shape the pace and content of transformation as much as therequirements of current missions."

A new Pearl Harbor huh? Wow, that sounds curiosly like what occurred on September 11, 2001 doesn't it to you?

This should be an eye-opener for anyone that thinks! Added to the fact the cast of characters and the fact that they ALL ended up on or very well connected to the Bush Administration with one member, Zionist Paul Wolfowitz later becoming head of the World Bank! The list of cast members above should be a wake up call to anyone with an above 50 I.Q.

There are some of you whom I know will vigorously endeavor to debunk this but that would be impossible as everything I am writing can be verified. I welcome your insultless and non namecalling attempts. I will myself refrain from the namecalling as it is a childish distraction which i must confess I was sucked into on my prior postings.

I would like to ad for the sake of argument that one of you individuals that will probably travail to debunk this first on my long list of coincidences, have plans to become a police officer. I found that quite humerous in the wake of the fact that you obviously have no clue whatsoever of criminal procedure as you are perfectly willing to ignore the fact that there was no proper procedure followed in the gathering of evidence after the 9-11 debacle. Also, some of you were recently in the military so I would think that you would have waken up to the fact that the official story claims that 19 SAUDIS attacked us on 9-11 2001. There were NO Iraqis or Afghanis involved! So why were you there? Ask yourselves that?

One last point. The PNAC had four targets on their 2000 agenda. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. There has been action in three out of four and impending action on the Fourth with Iran. Israel attacked Syria and is constantly pressuring them militarily.

TIME TO WAKE UP!  TIME FOR RON PAUL!

How They Have Brainwashed You

                 

    For all of you that don’t think you are victims of mass brainwashing through very simple propaganda techniques, think again! It is really not surprising at all when you think about it. For example let’s take the fact that we all understand that killing someone is wrong and that if we do so and get caught, we will probably spend most, if not all of our lives in jail. Murder is one of the four crimes along with trespass, rape and theft that most would agree are no brainers when it comes to the commission of such.  Anyone with any wits at all understands these four crimes to be wrong with very little or no coaxing at all.  In fact, that said, these four crimes are the only true Common Law crimes. So how is it then that when your government goads you into a war where perhaps millions will die, you don’t even give it a second thought?  Why is it that it is wrong for you to kill one on one, but it is all right to venture off into another land at the behest of your governing body and kill en masse just because they say it’s okay to do so?   Sorry, but this is not going to be just another anti-war rant, but rather a cold, hard look at government manipulation through thought control via the media and education system of you, and yours.

    Please, keep in mind those in charge have had a long time to work on us all and have done a pretty good job of making cold blooded killers out of us all, while most seem oblivious to it. The government tells you what to feel and you feel it. They tell you we have been attacked, and you mindlessly believe them though they produce no tangible evidence of an attack or who orchestrated it with any substantial proof, and have been caught at false flag operations in more than one instance such as the Gulf of Tonkin incident which launched us into the Vietnam war which killed over 2 million Vietnamese and 60 thousand of our own countrymen.  All that death was based on an inside job lie!

 What the protagonists do is alert your sense of patriotism and you become all up in arms against the adversary and anyone that questions the status quo is considered unpatriotic or crazy. Keep in mind that war is very profitable for some and always has been. Most people don’t seem to have the ability to fathom just what is really going on. Why are we constantly mired in war? The profits is why and I assure you in most cases for the past century the same war profiteers names will keep coming up.

 Here are two quotes that I think you’ll find of interest:

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

Hermann Goering quote

I especially like the last two sentences of that paragraph it is chilling considering the source, that being Hitler’s top henchman!  Now here’s one from Hitler himself:

By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise. - Adolf Hitler

Interesting huh? Do you think Hitler was the only leader using that strategy? Think again as ours have torn a page out of the same playbook and utilized it for some time. Now all you need to realize that it wasn’t or isn’t surprisingly enough, Hitler’s government that takes advantage of its citizenry, but rather ALL governments that do so. It’s simply a matter of time before it occurs. That is just another way you have been mesmerized by your governing body. In doing their bidding through your indoctrinated sense of patriotism you care not who they kill or why they kill them and presume they do the right thing every time without question. But they don’t and you are fooling yourself if you believe they do. Allowing the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) and our so called intel agencies to run rampant on the planet is no different than allowing your child to remain in the candy store by himself without expectation of over indulgence! In fact, I dare say that the child in the candy store would be a much safer bet than our leaders with all that money to spend and benefit from. So for all of those that think that it is okay to mass murder because your government said so, I think it’s time for  some serious reevaluation of your belief system and just how mesmerized and dependant you have become with them. 

By the way, this is just one exaple.

Is Delavan WI Judge James A. Ritchie Breaking the Law?

    

           While sitting with a friend of mine I was abhorred by a call she received from Delavan Wisconsin Judge James A. Ritchie. Ravyn was only 15 years old when these alleged offenses occurred and was under her mothers supervision as a minor. Now ten years later, this judge has not only discarded the statute of limitations but has recuscitated these old cases to collect fines for the state!   I don’t know when things changed so radically in this country where a Judge acts as a prosecutor rather than the unbiased and impartial entity he is supposed to be, but Judge Ritchie seems to have risen to new levels by taking matters of state into his own hands concerning fine collections, and in my humble opinion, should probably be disbarred for doing so.  His actions are so far outside judicial purview that he should be called a prosecutor instead of a judge. Am I missing something here? In an article titled New Delavan judge, clerk working to restore court by Darryl Enriquez in the December 20, 2010 Janesville Gazette Extra, Enriquez seems to praise Judge Ritchie for his work when he states

  “A New Delavan Municipal Judge Jim Ritchie, who took office in May, and Sandi Jeffrey, his court clerk, have implemented fresh practices for courtroom conduct and fine collections.”

    Fresh practices for courtroom conduct and fine collections? I’ll say. This judge has become an advocate for the state! My question is, since when does it fall within judicial duties to work as a cop, secretary and a prosecutor for the state? Judges are supposed to be impartial and unbiased. Isn’t it somewhat biased for a judge to be personally involved in dredging up cases from ten years ago and wouldn’t that bias substantially influence his decision making? I conclude yes! Furthermore, the statute of limitations on most crimes of minors outside of murder is 2 years beyond their 18^th birthday, how is it that Ritchie has somehow contorted the law to allow for this?

    It states in the Supreme Court Rules of Judicial Conduct the following:

SCR 60.03 A judge shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of the judge's activities.

(1)             A judge shall respect and comply with the law and shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.

SCR 60.04   A judge shall perform the duties of judicial office impartially and diligently.

          The judicial duties of a judge take precedence over all the judge's other activities. The judge's judicial duties include all the duties of the judge's office prescribed by law.

          (1) In the performance of the duties under this section, the following apply to adjudicative responsibilities:

          (a) A judge shall hear and decide matters assigned to the judge, except those in which recusal is required under sub. (4) or disqualification is required under section 757.19 of the statutes and except when judge substitution is requested and granted.

          (b) A judge shall be faithful to the law and maintain professional competence in it. A judge may not be swayed by partisan interests, public clamor or fear of criticism.

         

Have we all become so complacent that we will continue to stand for this? The judge is supposed to be an unbiased arbiter of law, which means he is never supposed to take sides, this would include digging up several year old cases the city or state has against an individual and reviving them! With all the above in mind the Gazette article continues:

“Ritchie attributes the revenue uptick to Rambo-like efforts he, Jeffrey and the Delavan Police Department have devised to track down scofflaws and restore credibility to the local court.”

Rambo like efforts by a Judge?  Credibility?  How does a Judge that acts as a prosecutor restore credibility?  He may be filling the city coffers, but he’s doing so unethically by standards under the SC Rules of professional conduct he swore an oath to serve under.

Enriques further states: A payment technique Ritchie immediately used was to call to court adults who were way past due on payments and to send them to Walworth County Jail until fines were paid.”

A payment technique? Calling people 10 years after these petty violations to strong-arm them using a threat of warrants and imprisonment is hardly impartial and borders on government tyranny. In fact, a judge taking it upon himself to call her at all is in and of itself improper by any stretch of the word!      

"You should have seen it, we had squads lined up to take them to jail," Ritchie said. "And some ducked out of court to pay their fines at the (City Hall) counter to avoid going to jail."

Does the above statement sound impartial to you?   There is such a thing as a statute of limitations, isn’t there. Under Wisconsin Statutory Code 939.74 it states that the statute of limitations on all misdemeanors is 3 years.  How does this judge explain the resurrection of these misdemeanors and why is this considered to be acceptable? Furthermore, how is it that Judge Rambo can prosecute someone who was a minor after himself dredging up the case which should have been dead after the first three years were up, but most certainly should have been closed 2 years after my friends 18^th birthday at age 20 when the statute of limitations is up on crimes of minors.  In the above quote Ritchie sounds more like the legend of Judge Roy Bean than a hero. I realize, as does this judge I am certain, that most people cannot afford to appeal an erroneous ruling and are forced to comply or go to jail. This is simply wrong and as I told the judge in my telephone conversation with him, he oughtta be ashamed of himself! That said any judge knowledgeable of that fact could use it to their advantage against an unwitting populace.   I call on all of you who have been victimized by this inappropriate behavior and have been strong armed by this judge to send letters , emails and make phone calls to the City of Delavan protesting this judge, and call the Wisconsin bar Association to report these judicial  improprieties as soon as possible.
