EXTORTIONISTS ARE EVIL, ESPECIALLY THE ONES WITH BADGES

   Extortion is a very serious crime, that is unless you are a licensed extortionist, then you can just feel free to steal as much as you like.

   The licensed extortionists try to soften it down by referring to it as "asset forfeiture". 

   From the federal government down to the little town council, our "representatives" have taken a law intended to financially cripple drug dealers and money launderers, and instead turned it into a "for profit" business.

   As is the case over and over again, we get sold an idea that has merit, and once that idea becomes law, those in power skew it, abuse it, and use it with the broadest interpretations they can get away with.

   From the city that sees it as a way to make up for lost revenue, to the counties who see it as a way to obtain new equipment, to the states who are always looking for money for their budgets, to the federal government whose law enforcement agencies get huge sums of money from asset seizure, they are all playing the legal stealing game.

   And just as government on all levels is so well known for doing, once they find a way to steal more money from us, they will milk that cash cow until it is completely dead.

   Believe it or not, there are some jurisdictions that actually pay their cops bonuses depending on how much money that cop generated for them with the asset seizures he had done.

   W.T.F.?

   There are countless places across America where all you have to do is look "suspicious" to a cop, and he will take your money and valuables claiming they were ill gotten gains, and then it is your job to prove otherwise, and if the judge doesn't like your answer, too bad, bye bye money, thanks for stopping in, have a nice day.

   Just like the towns who set up speed traps to get your money, these cops misuse the law to legally rob you of everything you have.

   There are communities where people have gotten their homes seized because their grandchild was selling dime bags of pot from it.

   People have their vehicles seized and auctioned off, leaving them without the means to go to work.

   This is the same exact behavior that permeates our entire justice system, those that run the system and make up the rules are so disconnected from the public that they become cold hearted monsters, unable to feel any compassion or empathy, they no longer consider people as fellow humans, they see only opportunities to enrich their own interests.

   They could not possibly care less about the chaos and destruction they are causing you, to them you are like an insect, just squash it and move on. 

   Our system is horribly broken, and I'm not sure it can be fixed. But I am sure of one thing, I'm sure that if this house of cards collapses, and society as we know it crumbles in pieces, then those people who had once been in power had better find a damn good hiding place, because you will be seeked out, and you absolutely will not want to be found.

Remember, payback's a bitch, and payday's coming.

Please, Please, Please Say It Ain't So!

   You know that feeling you get in your stomach when you're driving down the freeway, going about 72 miles per hour, watching other traffic, and perhaps scouting out lane change opportunities, when all of a sudden, as you are rounding the curve, you spot him: that semi-hidden vehicle parked in the shadows of the overpass, and with the drivers door open ever so much there sits a person wearing an official uniform; in their hands, they hold what looks like an over-sized pistol. That over-sized pistol is pointing directly at you, and as your foot instinctively separates from the accelerator pedal, your eyes immediately focus on the speedometer, you experience what feels like Mike Tyson landing one right in your midsection, because you just got caught. 

   As you pass that now obvious police vehicle, and witness in the rear view mirror that its door is now closed, its red and blue lights are flashing wildly and it is approaching you at what appears to be light speed, that a nice chat with the officer is about to befall you, followed by an invitation to donate a fair chunk of change to the powers-that-be. 

   It's that feeling, that nauseating gut-grabber that is starting to make its presence known to me more and more. As I keep tabs on the performance of our elected representatives in Washington D.C., I pay special attention to our President, Barack Obama and the way he carries himself while performing his Presidential duties. 

   I have always been a strong supporter of Obama, believing that the desperately needed changes this nation requires were being handled by someone with the ability and desire to get them done.

    Through his first four years I defended him from all attackers, believing that they mostly consisted of bigots and sore losers. I touted that his progressive programs and social remedies were being sidelined and sabotaged by a treasonous Republican Congress, Hell-bent on an agenda of non-cooperation at any cost. 

   The uneasy feelings I am currently experiencing are derived from Obama's agreeing to and supporting of certain laws and legislation that seem to give our government more and more leeway to deny us our rights as American citizens. The authority to arrest, imprison and in the extreme, kill us.

    Nobody on this planet was more elated than I was when George W. Bush and his criminal organization finally left the White House and my spirits and optimism had hit new highs when the GOP machine failed to retain the Oval Office. 

   I'm not giving up hope yet, I still believe President Obama truly has this nation's best interest at heart, and will guide us to a new era of American world leadership, and restore us as a role model for all other nations and restore the prosperity and prestige we once possessed, which the previous administration carelessly squandered away. 

   I'll be keeping a watchful eye on his future actions, and I'll be praying to God that he turns out to be the hero I so desperately want to believe in, and our nation so desperately needs.
