Your Emails Can be Seized No Problem
Recently the American Civil Liberties Union under a Freedom of Information Act request got internal documents of the IRS that take the position that the IRS maintains it can read American citizens’ emails without a warrant. As always, the government agencies ALWAYS interpret their authority as broadly as possible with no regard for any constitutional rights. The position in government has in the expanded in the last 2 decades and boils down to it is your burden to PROVE you have any rights. The constitution ceases to have any restraining impact whatsoever.The IRS requests you emails and Google Mail complies. Storing anything in a cloud – forget it.
The entire American Revolution was born by the king doing precisely this. His agents would just come to your house and go through everything and if they found anything, they would charge you. John Adams commented at a trial on this very issue, “Then and there the child of Independence was born.” The Supreme Court use to say this was “the right most valued by civilized man.” This spirit is dead. Privacy is no more.
Boyd v US 116 US 686 (1886)
It was the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 that allowed government agencies to in many cases obtain emails older than 180 days without a warrant. You can assume that if you put nothing in an email that you as clean. Not so. If they BELIEVE, even wrongly that you are or should be their target, everything is interpreted that way. So the classic question – So when was the last time you beat your wife? Implied is the fact you are guilty. No you have to respond, you have never dome that. The burden of proof is now shifted to you for they havePRESUMED you are guilty. Every innocent thing you ever write, is viewed from a slanted looking glass. There is a person in an airport who was on a cell phone and joking said in slang “I am going to blow-up the spot” meaning they had gas. Within minutes, they were surrounded in the lounge. Yes, they are monitoring your cell phones as well in an airport but all cell phones are monitored, tracked, and stored. 1984 arrived – just a couple of decades too late.
NY Court Holds you Cannot Sue SEC in Madoff
Judge Laura Taylor Swain in Manhattan threw out a $2.5 million lawsuit when investors tried to sue the SEC for damages because they failed to do their job when so many people warned them about Madoff. Once again, this dismissal of the suit was affirmed by the notorious court in NYC – 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
No suit against the banks or the SEC stands EVER any chance in NYC. The court is the most morally corrupt court in the USA and you will never stand a chance of vindicating any rights AT ANY TIME. This proves that we need a complete restructuring of everything. This is why Homeland Security has bought enough bullets to shoot everyone 5 times and tanks for US streets because when you cannot vindicate right in a court of law, then civil unrest erupts. This is standard throughout history.
So, rather than reform, this is all about maintaining the status quo. But NYC is no longer the biggest market for IPOs and deals. Without the rule of law, as Margaret Thatcher told our clients, you cannot invest a dime. Nothing has any meaning. Contracts are worthless when they cannot be enforced. Nothing whatsoever that provides the benefit of coming together as a people survives when courts act this way. The federal court in NYC is so intent on rigging the game so they ALWAYS win, they cannot see that no one will play with them in NYC. Why should anyone do business there if there is no rule of law?
This type of corruption is off the charts. You simply have to be nuts to deal in NYC. They can steal your money like MF Global, and you cannot enforce the law. The inferior courts are outside of democratic process. These people never stand for election. They are appointed because of backroom deals. The administrative courts are worse. Did you realize you do not even have to be a lawyer to be an SEC judge? They can appoint anyone and there is NO qualification prescribed!
Congress is one huge joke. So if you think you can buy gold, store it in a facility, and it is really yours, good luck. What part of the corrupt court system did you fail to understand? Nothing survives. The law is only whatever a judge says – NEVER what Congress even tries to pass.
