Marijuana was legalized, the owners were permitted and they asked the government to conduct a business inspection. Instead the police busted them and stole all their stuff! A self-described Michigan “soccer mom” who had “every belonging” taken from her family in a 2014 drug raid has been cleared of all criminal charges, 19 months after heavily armed drug task force members ransacked her home and her business. But in many ways, her ordeal is only beginning.Annette Shattuck and her husband, Dale, had been facing felony charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession with intent to manufacture marijuana and maintaining a drug house. But last month, Michigan Circuit Court Judge Daniel Kelly threw out all criminal complaints filed against the Shattucks "on the grounds of entrapment by estoppel," according to court filings. Entrapment by estoppel occurs when a government official leads a defendant to believe that their conduct is permissible under the law. Law enforcement uses all kinds of trickery in order to increase criminal convictions in order to justify their existence and budget. Fortunately, the judge saw through their activities and invoked "entrapment by estoppel," which is something I have heard of but is unfortunately not used by enough judges to protect the innocent from out of control drug warriors.

When the forces of freedom are so much smaller and weaker than the forces of the oppressor, how are the forces of freedom to fight? How did God use Moses to fight Pharaoh? Retaliate, yes, thru retaliation. God gave Moses every chance to fight diplomatically. This, our fight with the oppressor g0vt of the United States must be given the chance to be overthrown by every diplomatic opportunity, but we must never forget that as each diplomatic move fails, we must use retaliation as a hammer with each retaliation stronger and more deadly than the last. Shall I explain further? Shall I explain the Biblical means of funding thru the Spoil? Shall I amplify the word retaliation?
