Yet again, here is another example of the Supreme Court’s dangerous and cowardly use of the shadow docket (in the words of Jerry Nadler), this time they used it to authorize an American Gestapo.

As the linked article explains, Gestapos have these characteristics:

• they’re a police force targeting political opponents and dissidents
• they’re not controlled by other security agencies and answer directly to the dictator
• the identity of their members and their operations are secret
• they specialise in political intelligence and surveillance operations
• they carry out arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, indefinite detentions, disappearances and torture.

ICE currently is exhibiting those characteristics, looks like Tim Walz was right…

Eric A. Johnson has explained that: most Germans may not even have realized until very late in the war, if ever, that they were living in a vile dictatorship. In other words, ordinary Germans looked the other way when Jews were being rounded up and murdered. Therefore, they abetted one of the greatest crimes of the 20th century – not through active collaboration but through passivity, denial and indifference.

Now, much like 1930’s Germans, Americans have become passive, factionally polarized (and indifferent to those outside their faction) and willfully ignorant. “We” are increasingly distracted by entertainment, partisan politics and consuming media that doesn’t challenge our beliefs. Therefore, we are complicit in creating a police state similar to Nazi Germany.

That is, the DOJ & FBI are, at their core, corrupt institutions. As this article explains, the DOJ rarely tells the actual truth in its legal documents. Instead, it often opts for a biased position that’s tangental to the truth and often bolstered by plausible lies.

In other words, the DOJ’s (and the FBI’s) standard operating procedure, is to create misleading criminal narratives using plausible facts, lies and omissions. They often do this by telling a story that superficially appears accurate in isolation but would actually be found to be deeply misleading if ever examined critically. Thus, in my case it “seems” plausible the their NIT obtained my IP address from visiting TB2. But when examined critically, that narrative falls apart because their is no actual way the NIT obtained my IP address the way the claim it did; because, it was technically impossible.

So, the corruption of the system depends on making sure the DOJ’s flawed narratives are never critically examined. That’s why 97% of all federal criminal cases end in coerced plea deals. Fortunately for Judge Dugan, she’s well heeled and well educated and will destroy these charges in Court because the narrative is obviously asinine. No more asinine than my case, but much easier for everyone to see.

Of course the inspiration for this illegal policing activities post comes from Florida, the new Mississippi. Predictive Policing is unconstitutional and total nonsense.

Most (not all) police – whether local, state or federal – are either stupid or evil. By evil I mean, they think they’re better than other humans, which (in most cases) is the exact opposite of the reality. The reason that their evilness was hidden for so long is because we didn’t have cameras recording everything… so, when a cop was accused of wrongdoing, they could lie and get away with it. Now, thanks to everyone having a camera, the jig is up… kinda.

Talk about a two tiered justice system. The reason Diddy is in jail is because two judges determined that he is a “danger” and a “flight risk”. Yet Trump, who is in similar legal circumstances as Diddy, is not considered a “danger” or a “flight risk”.

This, of course, is nonsense. (As the case against Diddy doesn’t look that strong.) Is Diddy a “good guy”? (as Trump opined) Obviously not; but, neither is Trump. Sadly, the case against Diddy looks a lot like the case against Backpage. Strong on moral condemnation & weak on actual federal crimes (it looks like there may be some state crimes).

The problem is that similarity situated defendants should be treated the same, thus since Trump is on bail, then so should Diddy. They’re both celebrities with little to no ability to flee. They are also “bad guys” would want to intimidate witnesses, but both won’t when watched closely. So the rational to keep Diddy detained is simply unjust.

Neil has just given us more evidence that judges are just making it up as they go alone. Apparently, Neil has written a new book where he notes that the whole Aaron Swartz prosecution was “over-reach”. No Neil, it was prosecutorial misconduct done in furtherance of DOJ propaganda.

Instead of carving out “presidential immunity rights” (which are found nowhere in our Constitution or national traditions), perhaps Neil and the other conservative clowns should enforce things that are actually in the Constitution, like the 4th, 5th & 6th Amendments and revisit the silly rulings that say AEDPA doesn’t violate the suspension clause.

As I’ve chronicled on this blog, our justice system is extremely flawed and biased, we should fix it.

Trump v. United States now joins Dred Scott v. Sanford, Plessy v. Ferguson, Lochner v. New York, and Korematsu v. United States as the worst decisions ever made by the SCOTUS.

The SCOTUS has just made our President a German Fuhrer. Needless to say, this is not a good development. If Biden had any balls, he would use his knew powers to do things to show everyone, especially the SCOTUS, that we do not want a Fuhrer running our Country.

Note: Read the Trump v. United States link to get the rundown on how bad this decision is…

I’m convinced that a moral panic combined with corrupt Agents (American Gestapo = FBI) were responsible for my unconstitutional prosecution.

Ample evidence proves that cops are opportunistic criminals who should be stripped of qualified immunity.

This article explains it all and you should read it, two quotes are below:

With every passing day, the United States government borrows yet another leaf from Nazi Germany’s playbook: Secret police. Secret courts. Secret government agencies. Surveillance. Censorship. Intimidation. Harassment. Torture. Brutality. Widespread corruption. Entrapment. Indoctrination. Indefinite detention.

[T]he FBI’s laundry list of crimes against the American people includes surveillance, disinformation, blackmail, entrapment, intimidation tactics, harassment and indoctrination, governmental overreach, abuse, misconduct, trespassing, enabling criminal activity, and damaging private property, and that’s just based on what we know.

The FBI’s Gestapo Tactics : Hallmarks of an Authoritarian Regime
By John & Nisha Whitehead

Since we live in a police state, the transition from “freedom” to a LOW LEVEL – Bureau of Prisons (BOP) -prison is surprisingly easy for working & middle class people. (Note: MEDIUM & HIGH security prisons, I’m told, are a completely different story).

As far as I know there are no LOW or MINIMUM level prisons in non-police states; because, there is no legitimate “safety” reason for anyone to be confined to one, because everyone there was actually assessed to be a minimum or a low safety risk; thus only a police state would imprison this category of offenders.

Minimum level prisons in the BOP are labeled “Prison Camps” (seriously!). And all other prisons are labeled LOW, MEDIUM & HIGH. Where you get placed is decided by a computer program called SENTRY. It assigns arbitrary points for various facts about you. Usually, a first time middle aged offender is going to get 0-11 points and be labeled MINIMUM. Someone below age 30 will probably get 12-15 and be labeled a LOW. If you are labeled MINIMUM, you will likely be allowed to self report. If you are labeled LOW, then you will often be allowed to self report, especially if you’ve been out on bail until sentencing; unless you piss off the judge or they are evil.

Since I pissed off the judge (like Trump will), I can write about the experience of being immediately kidnaped after sentencing. I was persecuted in Nebraska because Keith A. Becker “judge shopped” a place that would accept his malfeasance. So after I was railroaded, I was arbitrarily sentenced to 72 months and kidnaped to a County Jail in NE, where I waited to get shipped to my unknown at that time federal prison. In County I was in a minimum security dorm – for about 6 weeks – with other minor offenders from Nebraska who I “celebrated” Christmas 2015 & New Years 2016 with, wondering how this happened to me.

Then I was shipped – like cargo – in the back of a van to Leavenworth, Kansas; where a private prison – run by some private company – is located. I stayed there for about 2 weeks before I was placed on “ConAir”. It was an old 737 supposedly confiscated from El Chapo. Regardless, it was just like flying on South West, only chained up (both hands and feet). But Minimims weren’t “black boxed”, so it was more of an inconvenience than uncomfortable. And the service was about as good as South West’s. Our first destination was Oklahoma City. Where I watched the superbowl with another prisoner that had no business being in prison. While in Oklahoma, you find out where you’re going. My new friend was going to a CAMP in California & I was going to a LOW in Ohio. A few days later (after the 2016 Super Bowl) I was on ConAIr again and after about 8 hours of flying (we went to NYC first), we landed somewhere outside Pittsburgh where we were loaded onto busses. My bus took me to FCI Elkton in Ohio, where -because of population limits – I was placed in the FCI Low, instead of the FSL “Camp” my points required.

The FCI subjects you to a much higher number of hoodlums, who (at a LOW) are more annoying than dangerous. You are really in no danger at a MINIMUM or LOW security BOP facility. It really is “Club Fed”. Not going to lie, the food before you get to your prison is going to be awful and you will lose weight; but, once you’re at prison, it’s actually diner quality, think Denny’s. The sleeping quarters are dorm, like what you saw in Full Metal Jacket. Bunks, sparsely furnished and cleaned daily. How clean everything is will be your second surprise after the quality of the food.

Your next surprise will be how friendly everyone will be, even most of the guards. To be sure, some inmates are just being friendly to see if they can get something from you, but they are the exception not the rule at Elkton. This is even more so at the FSL (I was housed in both during my kidnapping) where life is more like a bizarre summer camp than prison. Hoodlums aren’t allowed at the FSL, so everyone just serves their time like they’re trapped at a kid’s summer camp, exercise (treadmills, steppers), playing sports (baseball, kickball, pickle ball, basketball, volley ball (in a sand pit) and Frisbee golf & soccer on a soccer field) in addition to card and board games, watching TV and movies. Reading books and doing arts and crafts (painting, crochet & ceramics – yes they had a kiln).

Your next surprise will be how many people readily admit their guilt to you & just complain about their absurd sentence. For an example of this absurdity, I met a guy who told SSI that his mother died; but, they failed to stop the direct deposits to her account (which he had power of attorney over). So, he used the money to pay for her funeral and other expenses. When he got caught, he wanted to just pay the money back, nope US Gestapo wouldn’t accept that, they wanted prison time, so he got 30 days! Talk about a phenomenal waist of time & money!

Anyway, when Trump goes to federal prison, he’ll go to a CAMP or a LOW, where he’ll be with his constituents (A majority of both Guards and Inmates loved him in 2021). So, he’ll get special treatment & better food than the other inmates. Although, he’ll hate it because he’s used to being pampered and you definitely don’t get pampered in prison (there are no soft surfaces), but I’m told it’s way better than being homeless. Some sad sacks told me Elkton’s meals were the best they ever had. Imagine if Denny’s was your best ever meal. WOW just WOW. Of course since Trump claims to love McDonalds he might love Elkton’s food too.

Trump, like me, will also soon decide that none of the people at his prison actually need to be there for any legitimate safety purpose and are actually there because people don’t like them or what they did, not because they’re dangerous. And that’s what makes America a police state. Police States lock up people they don’t like, non-police states only lock up people who are actually dangerous.
