Deodand – Civil Asset Forfeiture Violate Every Principle of Human Rights & Civilization | Armstrong Economics

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong; As a Canuck, I was shocked to come to realize that our Canadian government is confiscating the property of innocent people following the same practice in Washington. How can they justify this? Read the Canadian Justice Review Board. FG ANSWER: Yes, politicians do seem to get ideas from each other. The US had this civil asset forfeiture and now everyone is confiscating money because that’s what the Americans do. Today, civil asset forfeiture is an outright crime against the people for it is not even a tax – just an illegal taking of innocent people’s money. Its origin is in ancient law that the King of England adopted as a means to pretend he was God and entitled to confiscate everyone’s money on a whim. The United States Supreme Court in J. W. Goldsmith Jr., Grant Co. v. The United States, 254 U.S. 505 (1922), noted the origins of government forfeiture power in the historical practice of Deodand. The court cited Sir William Blackstone (1723–1780), in his “Commentaries of the Laws of England”, which noted that this practice extended back to the times of Ancient Greece. A Deodand is a thing forfeited or given to God, specifically, in law, an object or instrument that becomes forfeited because it has caused a person’s death. The English common law of Deodands traces back to the 11th century and was applied, on and off, until Parliament finally abolished it in 1846. Deodand is not practiced in the United States or Canada, yet it has been transformed into the government’s right to seize your property even if you have done NOTHING wrong for it is the object that commits the offense, not you. Politicians have assumed the role of God and it is no longer a justification that says you had a horse that suddenly was spooked and it took off running and killed someone. The horse was then forfeited to really help pay for the funeral costs of the victim. This has been transformed into civil asset forfeiture. The U.S. Supreme Court relying on Deodand to justify the confiscation of property to enrich the coffers of government is no different than being robbed on the street at gunpoint. Under this ancient practice, the object is guilty, not the owner. This is really an example of how judges are owned by the government and do not defend the Constitution or the people. The right to property is the foundation of civilization. This is why we banned together and formed governments to provide a rule of law to ensure our cooperation with each other. Now we have governments claiming someone sold drugs from your home and seize your home for the house committed the crime, not you even if you had no idea. Basic rules of civilization mean nothing anymore because the rule of law has been turned into a profit mechanism for government. It cannot be justified but we have no independent judges who will stand up for our basic human rights. There was a revolution, in case these judges forgot, which meant that just because some practice existed in common law does not mean it survived. It plainly begins: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of …” I do not see how ANY reasonable interpretation of the Constitution can justify Civil Asset Forfeiture. It is in direct conflict with the very stated purpose of the American Constitution.

Joe Biden – Give Me Money To Defeat Trump & Conspiracy with Deep State? | Armstrong Economics

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

A very curious thing seems to be going on. A person donated money to Trump, all of a sudden, emails begin to arrive from Joe Biden asking for donations to the Democrats. What is really curious is that there were no emails before donating to Trump. Have the Democrats hacked the Republican donors? If anything, this is going to be a crazy election cycle with an all-out war. They have no case to actually impeach Trump on this whole Russian nonsense and I find it unbelievable how they have turned Russia into this dangerous enemy claiming they hacked the Democrats and released emails that defeated Hillary. Yet there has been NO ALLEGATION that any of the emails were fake or altered. If the Russians fabricated the emails to influence the election, then we have something. This is like someone who was robbing your house and blamed you for coming home early so they got caught. This is really a twisted affair. So they cannot impeach Trump for a Collusion with Russians, then we have the Woodward book and the New York Times OP-ED desperately trying to make a case that he is crazy and should be removed. That too seems to lead nowhere. This appears to be a grand conspiracy to so taint the airwaves that the Democrats take Congress and run the Republicans out of town. Meanwhile, it appears that there is a very serious DEEP STATE conspiracy going on here with the Democrats who began the Russia allegations and the FBI and Justice Department conspired with them to take down Trump. The Democrats are even calling it their War Room against Trump. It is not an election about policy, it is an election against Trump. There is a very slow flow of incriminating evidence which seems to grow almost daily revealing that FBI and Justice Department officials both worked together with Democrats in the Obama Administration to prevent President Trump’s presidency from getting underway. The whole Russia investigation conducted by Robert Mueller must now come under serious question, and it seems likely that key FBI officials should be charged with crimes. Mueller is charging anyone remotely connected with Trump for things with no connection to Russia and then he tells the prosecutors in New York to charge Trump’s lawyer. Mueller is way off the playing field here and if Trump fires him, as he legally should, then the Democrats call it Obstruction of Justice and argue that for impeachment. The Oath of Office Trump took includes going after these people who are openly violating the Constitution: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to be best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Obama did not say these words correctly when he took the oath. He had to take it again after the ceremony or he was not really the President under the Constitution. The latest release by Congress of documents late Monday revealed an “apparent systemic culture of media leaking” among top officials at the FBI and Justice Department, which really included James Comey. This is quoting a letter that North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows sent to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. It turns out that FBI official even discussed their “media leak strategy” before making any Trump-Russia revelations. Under Article VI of the Constitution, there is a requirement that all government Officials take an oath “to support this Constitution.” Today, 5 U.S.C. 3331 specifies the language of the oath for federal officials. According to this statute, officials must “solemnly swear (or affirm)” that they “will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” and that they “will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” Every official involved in this coup has violated the Constitution. The writer of the Op_Ed has violated and the people who told Woodward they stole papers so Trump would not sign them violated their oath of office and in fact have become the very “enemies” of the state. Woodward legally should have turned them over and anyone else would be charged with conspiring with them to hide their crimes. They are like a thief who robs your home and then say he did it to protect your belongings because he really wanted to burn it down. This really is probably treason for bureaucrats to conspire to undermine a Democratically elected president for they have become the enemies within. This is obviously at the very minimum about draining the Swamp. Newly released text messages reveal disgraced FBI official Peter Strzok asked to speak to former FBI lawyer Lisa Page about a “media leak strategy” during a crucial period of the Trump-Russia investigation in 2017. This is really getting out of hand. The problem is that we have the FBI and Department of Justice conspiring to take down a President. Regardless if you agree or disagree with Trump, this is very serious. For even if you hate Trump, this evidence suggests that whoever is in that position can be blackmailed by the bureaucrats to run the country as they demand. This is treason for it is in direct confrontation of the entire establishment of the Constitution for it rejects any vote of the people and supplants it with their personal opinions. This is a version of what Joseph Stalin had to say that the person who decides and an election is the one who counts the votes. Here, regardless of who the people vote for, bureaucrats will undermine the entire nation to keep it in their hands. This is the same in the end as Joseph Stalin stated. This is no longer about Trump – this is about National Security for such people could just as easily be taking bribes from third parties domestic or foreign. Trump should now appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate Mueller and crew.
