- State criminals and street criminals
- Americans sandwitched between 2 different orders of criminals today
- It seems today the American people are caught--sandwitched, if you will--between a criminal state and real street-level criminals.
- We have defined "state criminal" as any member of any of the three branches of federal or state government who sponsors, supports, decides in favor of, promulgates or enforces laws, regulations, or decrees, or sections thereof, which are blatantly unconstitutional.
- We need to fear the criminal state because--in the name of looking out for our welfare--it is churning out unconstitutional laws which make crimes against Itself worse than crimes against one's fellow human beings. In doing so, the state increases its own insidious power over individuals.
- In fact, most Americans jailed today are behind bars for crimes against the state.
- A crime against the state is one in which no namable individual can complain of pain or loss. For example, in the Soviet Union, it was a crime to speak out against a government policy. It was a crime to own your own property. If you broke these soviet laws, it was a crime against the state, and punishment could be harsh.
- Today, America has embraced, in soviet fashion, crimes against the state. It is a crime for you not to buckle your seatbelts. It is a crime not to wear a safety helmet. It is a crime against the state to imbibe drugs which the state has deemed bad for you. It is a crime against the state if you tear down a tree to build yourself a home on your own property, if the tree is in an area in which some animal lives. It is often a crime to brandish--or even own--a pistol even if you are using it to thwart a street criminal.
- Crimes against the American state today fill our law books. We have more persons in jail for crimes against the state than for crimes against other namable individuals.
- And that's what real crime is. A real crime is one conducted against a namable individual. If you hit me, shoot me, steal my property, or break into my home, I am the namable individual against whom your crime was committed.
- In fact today, government agents are as likely to hit you or me, shoot you or me, steal our property, or break into our homes as any other criminal, if they suspect we have broken a law against the state Itself.
- In Yakima County alone, it is considered a crime against the state by your property if "controlled substances" are found on that property. County Prosecutor Jeff Sullivan stated proudly at a recent Sunnyside City Council meeting that he now employs two tax-paid county attorneys just to handle property "forfeitures" alone.
- He said the county needs forfeiture laws in its never-ending fight against "the bad guys". In this case, "the bad guys" may be those who smoke a joint of marijuana. Non-dealer drug users might never consider violence against another person. Indeed, they may not even own the property in which they were arrested for drug use. They may rent. Too bad. The non-using, non-dealing landlord may be forced at gunpoint to forfeit his investment to the state, anyway.
- Thus the state has set up the framework for, and often is the perpetrator of, crimes against individual Americans. Making it a punishable crime not to wear a seatbelt or helmet, or a crime to do as one wishes with one's own body, or a crime to build a home on one's own property, or a crime to keep and bear arms, or a crime to defend one's self or property, is itself a crime.
- Those who have made such natural behavior a crime are, in my opinion, political criminals. And, in my opinion, those who physically enforce unconstitutional laws are--I hate to say it because I have high respect for most cops--dupes.
- Thus, we are sandwitched between political criminals misusing good cops to assault essentially peaceful persons from one side. And we have the old-fashioned robber, burglar, thief, drive-by shooter, carjacker and home invader hitting us on the other.
- It's probably just a matter of time before average, law-abiding American citizens hit back in both directions.
