United States News Title: Orwell and Kafka Do America: How the Government Steals Your Money – “Legally,” of Course Did you know that the government of Iran steals your cash if they find more than loose change in your car? They dont arrest you for any crime, for the simple reason you didnt commit any crime; but it isnt about crime and punishmentits aboutlegalizing theft by the state. So the government toadies dont charge you with a crime or arrest youthey just steal your money. Pity the poor Iranian peopleclearly, there is no rule of law to protect them from their predatory, rapacious, fake-democracy, quasi-totalitarian government. Did you also know that if you deposit too much money in modest sums, the government of Iran steals all your deposits? They will claimoh, the twisted logic of Orwellian, repressive governmentsthat you are obviously a drug dealer who is avoiding laws that require banks to report large deposits to the government. Once again, you wont be charged with a crimein true Orwellian fashion the suspicion that you may have committed a crime is sufficient reason to steal your cash. Pity the poor Iranian people, living in such a banana-republic kleptocracy. Did you also know that if you are caught with any drug paraphernalia in your vehicle, the government of Iran steals your vehicle? The crime isnt a drug crimeits a property crime: what are you doing with the government of Irans vehicle? Pity the poor Iranian people, living in a Kafkaesque nightmare where suspicion alone justifies the government stealing from its citizens, and an unrelated crime (possessing drug paraphernalia) is used to justify state theft. As in a Kafkaesque nightmare, the state is above the law when it needs an excuse to steal your car or cash. There is no crime, no arrest, no due processjust the state thugs threatening that you should shut up and be happy they dont take everything you own. Your car and cash are guiltyand your house, too. Alas, dear reader, I have misled you. It is not the Iranian government that uses these tricks to steal from its peopleit is the U.S. government that uses these above-the-law excuses to blatantly steal from its citizens. I presented these Orwellian, Kafkaesque travesties of the rule of law as being Iranian so you would see them for what they arethe actions of an above-the-law, predatory state which falsely claims to be a democracy with a functioning judiciary. All these forms of civil forfeiture in America are well documented: Stop and Seize (six parts) I strongly recommend reading every word of these articles before you start spouting nonsense about what a great and glorious government and legal system we have here in America. After six years of gorging on the ill-gotten civil forfeiture gains of kleptocratic local government mafias, the Attorney General of the U.S., Eric Holder, recently announced that the federal government would no longer be taking its 20% share of the pounds of flesh stripped from the bones of U.S. citizens. As my old African-American foreman F.B. would say: thats awful white of you, Eric, after feasting on the billions of dollars stolen from Americans for six long years. The same can be said of President Obama, who has ignored the officially sanctioned thievery by government thugs and toadies for six long years. Why Eric Holders civil forfeiture decision wont stop civil forfeiture abuse This is how Orwell and Kafka do America: each absurd justification for stealing private property is more outrageous than the next. But waittheres More! That bastion of liberal politics, the state of California, a state completely dominated by Democrats claiming the cherished mantle of Progressive, is undoubtedly the most rapacious, thieving, Kafkaesque government in any nation claiming to be a democracy. As I have documented in detail, the mere suspicion that you might owe the state of California some tax is enough for the state to steal all the money it finds in any of your bank accounts. And in a fashion that would have made the NKVD of the former Soviet Union proud, you also have to pay the bank a $100 (or more) fee for stealing your money for the state of California. (At least in some accounts, you had to pay for the bullet the NKVD would put in the back of your head.) After they take all your money, you can call the state tax office and listen to a recording. If you have any money left, you can spend it trying to prove your own innocence, since the state of California already declared you guilty without any evidence or due process. Welcome to the Predatory State of CaliforniaEven If You Dont Live There (March 20, 2012) The Predatory State of California, Part 2 (March 21, 2012) Welcome to the United States of Orwell, Part 2: Law-Abiding Taxpayers Are Treated as Criminals While the Real Criminals Go Free (March 27, 2012) When the state steals our cash or car on mere suspicion, you have no recourse other than horrendously costly and time-consuming legal actions. So you no longer have enough money to prove your innocence now that weve declared your car and cash guilty? Tough luck, buckobe glad you live in a fake democracy with a fake rule of law, a fake judiciary, and a government of thugs with the officially sanctioned right to steal your money and possessions without any due process or court proceedings. Be glad we dont have to torture a confession out of you, like the NKVD/KGB did in the former Soviet Union, because your cash and car are already guilty. And thats how Orwell and Kafka work in Americaa nation that once was a democracy and could once claim to live under rule of law. Wake up and smell the stench of a gilded gulag, America; were living in one whether you care to admit it or not.
