U.S. Constitution: Thirteenth Amendment - Slavery And Involuntary Servitude
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Our politicians seem to have forgotten that slavery was outlawed long ago. Our taxation and national debt has made slaves of all taxpaying Americans. Will they establish debtor’s prisons for those who won’t or can’t pay? Every day we are closer to a second Civil War.
Washington, DC—Our out-of-Control Congress and President care not what Americans want anymore. They are a bunch or rogue, unresponsive renegades on a Socialist mission.
A large group of these Socialists and Communists inside our own government will do whatever they can, legal or not to strangle freedom in America. Our calls, E-mails and letters are insufficient to get their attention. Stronger messages are the only answer now.
It’s time for, we the people to exercise every option to maintain freedom and liberty. Failure to act will be catastrophic to the American way of life.
Charlotte, NC—Former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be the keynote speaker at the NRA’s annual meeting, May 14-16, 2110.
As usual there will be a grand exhibit hall full of the latest and greatest firearms. There will be loads of seminars and events tailored for men, women and children.
For lawyers there is also a really useful firearms law seminar that qualifies for CLE credit. This will enable lawyer to defend people accused under unconstitutional gun laws as well as dealing with frivolous civil litigation.
This a great opportunity to be seen with thousands of defenders of our Second Amendment!
Be sure to stop by the Eagle Grips booth for the finest accessories for your handguns.
Yes, Crimefile News will be reporting from the Charlotte Convention Center.
Millions of people thoroughly dependant on government need your participation. A high count will bring us the things we really need like more taxes and more career criminal, Congressmen.
The count gives government guidance for where to waste more of your tax money.
By all means cooperate fully so we can a much bigger and powerful government to run every aspect of your life.
Imagine having speed limits eliminated on major highways? Envision having no vice police for adult prostitution or gambling? Visualize no more drug profits, theft or violence related to drugs that cost no more money to produce than coffee or sugar. More importantly, how many hundreds of billions of dollars would be saved if government ended its over-regulation of human behavior?
Germany has not had speed limits on their highways in our lifetime. The Autobahn is safe and reliable anyway. Prostitution is legal in Europe and the sky never fell. Gamblers gamble despite all laws. Drug addicts consume tons of illicit drugs despite outrageous consequences both legal and life threatening.
If all drugs were legalized would we begin putting needles in our arms just because we could? The answer is no! Drugs are in reality more attractive to young people just because they’re illegal!
Laws against driving under the influence can still be enforced and vice activities can be zoned away from residential areas and schools.
Some would say we should tax these things, but then we’d simply create an extortion programs and make criminal enterprises to evade the taxes.
We are embarking on the greatest depression of all times as we spend ourselves deeper with optimism and bravado. Too many want to believe our anointed Messiah, Barack Obama will save us all through epic government growth and taxation. That Socialist idea has failed absolutely everywhere. Freedom has never failed anywhere.
We were free after the American Revolution but where did all that precious freedom go? We need to take it back.
Los Angeles, CA—I wrote extensively about legendary record producer, Phil Spector’s first murder trial that ended in a mistrial when jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict. . I was not able to do much with the retrial because of other commitments, but it was even worse that the first trial.
Both trials were as unfair, and as outrageous as I’ve ever seen in my 40 years of experience inside the criminal justice system. During the trials I compared L.A. Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler to Roland Freisler, the President of The People’s Court of Germany’s Third Reich. I don’t think that was an exaggeration because of nearly every ruling made by Fidler.
It was obvious to me that Judge Fidler had an agenda to convict Spector at any cost after numerous embarrassing high profile acquittals of other celebrity defendants. Fidler was drunk with power as he satisfied the harpy-pundits of that failed TV network, Court TV. It just so happened that I met Judge Fidler when he was invited to San Francisco to attend an Investigative Reporter’s and Editor’s conference in San Francisco with that very pretty, former Court TV correspondent, Beth Karas.
Spector’s trial was not about evidence but was an exercise of pure hatred. The trial manifested hatred for Spector’s wealth, flamboyant hair, manner of dress and lifestyle.
Spector had a lifetime’s worth of gold-digging women satisfying his libido and then angered when Spector did not give them the wealth and fame they sought. The very worst of this group were allowed to testify against Spector about decades old affairs.
Spector’s real crime was his sometimes horrible taste and judgment in the women he allowed in his bed. In that mix were thieves, extortionists and drug addicts. Some would return to haunt Spector for a slim chance at fame and of course the cash they could get from the tabloids for their tall tales.
The dead woman, Lana Clarkson fit Spector’s bedmates well. Clarkson was a failed and now too old actress with habit for ingesting Vicodin nearly a dozen times a day. The poor woman was an alcoholic suffering from depression and was nearly destitute. It was clear that Clarkson was under the influence of both drugs and alcohol when she died.
None the less Clarkson was a sympathetic figure that Hollywood used and spit out. Clarkson was beautiful and there was evidence she tried very hard to gain fame and fortune that sadly never materialized. Clarkson was really just another tragic story from The Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Clarkson did not go home with Phil Spector who she just met for anything more than an act of commerce. Spector had money and Clarkson needed some.
A violent death occurred but the evidence of murder just was not there. On the contrary there was a lot of evidence suggesting suicide or a self-inflicted accidental shooting by a drunken woman.
We don’t have a video, instant replay of this tragedy. We and the jury had to guess how Clarkson died. It’s a human trait to want to assign blame for a needless death. The blame went to Phil Spector.
In Judge Fidler’s court Clarkson’s problems were sanitized while any and everyone who wanted was encouraged by the jurist to throw mud on Spector.
Phil Spector was railroaded to a prison cell for more years than the 70 year-old has left on earth. Spector very well may never live long enough to win his appeal. This is wrong.
With The People’s Court of Germany, the public did not see much of anything wrong with Judge Freisler’s show trials either. “Justice” was always administered there, swift and sure. What happened in this Los Angeles courtroom can happen to you or someone you love.
Los Angeles, CA—In light of last night’s Westwood Village home invasion, robbery and kidnapping of a half-dozen UCLA students, lawyers can be counted on to uncover security shortcomings at Midvale Plaza Apartments.
Here are some tough questions:
1. What licensed security or investigative professional was hired to perform a security audit of the premises? 2. Did Midvale Plaza Apartments follow the recommendations? 3. Was there licensed, trained and armed security present, and if not, why not? 4. What in the way of recorded security cameras were present and operational? 5. What instruction did Midvale Plaza Apartments give tenants about not allowing strangers into the building?
Somehow I don’t think Midvale Plaza Apartments will have the right answers. The marketing signs I saw today offer a lot of wonderful extras for the tenants but I did not see safety and security on the list.
This seems to be a new complex. What steps have they taken to protect the very lives of their tenants? Last night’s horror show could have easily degenerated into mass murder bloodbath.
I can only hope that the owners Midvale Plaza Apartments take every possible future step to insure the safety of the tenants that have entrusted them with their very lives. At a minimum their building should be more secure than others in the area.
One last question: Why was there no lock on this door?
Los Angeles, CA--The Midvale Plaza Apartments located at 527 / 540 Midvale Avenue became the scene of a home invasion robbery last night. Six UCLA students were studying for final examinations only to find themselves being held-up at gunpoint.
Four male masked male offenders including one Black and one Asian were armed with at least one shotgun as they forced the students to turn over cash, jewelry, laptops, and their cell phones. The robbery crew tied up the students with shoelaces and forced them all to lie on the floor of the apartment.
The offenders escaped and are now being sought by UCLAPD and LAPD officers who will need all the help they can get.
The robbery makes little sense since students generally have little money. This sounds like a really dangerous crew that needs to be stopped and removed from society. Anyone with information needs to snitch on these thugs in a hurry.
Note: On January 3, 2010 there was another similar home invasion only a block away at 433 Midvale committed by a lone Asian male with a silver colored handgun.
Washington, DC—There may be benefits to this idea. What we really get is a greater Police State. This is about total control over every man woman and child.
They will be scanning your card everywhere, when you travel, vote, are stopped for minor traffic violations, visit government buildings or do your banking. The power connected to those with access to the database is absolute.
This is the kind of program that we need to resist with everything Americans can muster. To wait and see will be too little, too late.
With a national ID card our government will never be suddenly motivated to use any tool in for the apprehension and deportation of illegal aliens. Illegal aliens will still be working for cash under the table.
They will force me to obtain the national identity card over my dead body.
Burbank, CA—Another family is going to hit it big in the lawsuit lottery complaining about the “unfortunate” 14 year-old who learned too much, too soon from his sexy and hot English and Social Science teacher.
According to police sources, Amy Beck, 33 allegedly confessed to police that she had sexual relations with the male student between March and September of last year. If Beck really talked to the police she needs a mental evaluation since nobody in their right mind would do that.
For her cooperation Beck is now being held in jail on a $400,000.00 bond
Beck taught for ten years at Burbank’s David Starr Jordan Middle School until she resigned last Friday.
If I was on the criminal jury there could be but one verdict from me, NOT GUILTY.
Okay, I just don’t get it. I don’t see anything but a lucky young lad who got a special treat. If there was a crime here it was the kid blabbing.
As for damages against the school district I’d not give a red cent to anyone if I was on the civil jury.
Yes I would have a different opinion if the sexes were reversed or it was a same sex student-teacher relationship.
Can we please spend precious tax dollars on something important rather than this crap?
Chicago, IL—Adolph Hitler had absolute power during his 12 year reign of terror. Hitler’s wildest dream is about to be outdone in the Windy City if police Superintendent Jody Weiss has his way. The taxpayers of this once great city will be paying for hidden cameras to spy on themselves.
Citizen privacy has been on the ropes in modern times. With data collection, telephone records, privately operated surveillance cameras, I-pass toll roads, photo traffic enforcement, the TSA along with their naked cameras and relaxed government searching rules, there’s no escape. The only final privacy frontiers left to violate will be government bed, toilet and shower cameras.
There are those that will say, “We must do everything possible to catch criminals.” That, as they suggest just where to position the cameras. Of course it will be away, from themselves but toward their neighbors.
Is there no expense government can’t seem to incur? It’s great to live in a country than can afford to spend unlimited money on maintaining a police state.
China--Here we have loyal, brave, Kool-Aid drinking Socialists at work. We need to ask our politicians why do we trade or do any business at all with these despicable tyrants?
Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed.
Now we are trusting the economy of our country to a pack dumb asses who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling booze?
