Great Depression of 2016

[mom'sfolly]

Texas has a very bad reputation for putting the innocent away. Here where I live, a man spent 25 years in jail for killing his wife. There was prosecutorial miscounduct, botched evidence and a da that refused to test evidence. The real killer killed at least once more, and an innocent man spent almost half his life in prison. The prosecutor, who became a judge, was convicted due to his actions. (The prosecutors name was Anderson, and his victim was Moore)
For real fun, look up Tulia, TX and see what Texas justice can look like.

Talking honestly from first hand experience about the reasons behind this would be a ban worthy offense, so I'm just going to drop the subject.

I will say the cops in many parts of Texas are highly corrupt because the good ones were forced to retire or killed and many officers are in the pockets of the drug runners that work to funnel filth into America, working their way up through the Reservations and on further still into Canada.

No but they do seem to take it to a whole new level there.

I'm not defending California. In fact, I agree with you; just stating that California has many other problems that the criminal problem is the result of.

I know, I was just making a joke.

Let's not be bad mouthing California. When I was a kid, when someone graduated from high school, the family would take up a collection to send the graduate to California to look for a job. There was never any jobs in Arizona.

Those that got jobs would open it up for other people from the area. They would know where to look and who to ask for.

California people are not bad people; they just march to a different drum. It is kind of like having an insane relative; you get used to them, and you still love them.

I remember reading about the Tulia raid in the Amarillo paper. It seems like they arrested just about everybody in town and charged them with drug offenses. In the end, it came out that nobody was doing anything worse than preparation H.

I think that sometimes police lose sight of the goal of protecting society. They fall into the roll of salesmen. They want to make the sale and close the deal no matter what. Bad justice is worse than no justice. When they use tricks, lies and sleep deprivation to get someone to confess to something they didn't do, it is a disgrace.

In the case of the Buddist Temple murders, they arrested people and kept them in secret locations and worked upon them until they confessed. After all of that, one would confess to being Mickey Mouse. In the end, some of the suspects were shown in security videos working at their jobs in Tucson hundreds of miles away when the murders were committed. The stupid sheriff kept trying to put a square peg in a round hole. No wonder he wasn't re elected.

The case was solved when investigators from the US Air Force found the murder weapon in a car coming onto the base. The sheriff refused to acknowledge the truth

Now think of what will happen when the police go after political dissidents. Remember the show trials in the Soviet Union in the 1930's. Read Arthur Koestler's "Darkness at Noon." Also read "Prisoner Without a Name; Cell Without a Number," by Jocobo Timerman.

Do you know how treasuries are sold ?
It's an auction, so if one country is out bid then they don't get the new ones. How much do you think China has to rollover every month just to stay even ?

Well..why don't I make an excuse. Such as, I'm German and live in solitude and don't take jokes well.

Reading today the New World Order headquarters is located at Denver airport so this explains all the weird never ending construction and misjudgements made decades ago for their baggage handling inabilities and foresight into new technologies that never was implemented. They are saying late 2015 to 2016 this new world order will take place. Which brings us back to the topic of this thread. The Great Depression starts at that time. In my judgement all must do what they can to preserve themselves and families. More and more articles keep saying in 2 years what we now experience as citizens of the USA will be no more. We have slowly been re-tuned by our govt over many decades now and the Patriot Act was the nail in the coffin for any of us to have the constitutional rights we all thought we had. We have debted too long and too much to hope to ever crawl out from under it and this was all caused by Washington. There is now two classes in the country, the working poor and the politically rich. Too much of society here has became dependent on the govt for too many handouts. Frivilous lawsuits, workmans comp claims, disability and welfare makes it too easy to sit back and do absolutely nothing.
Which brings to mind stupid new ways our govt thinks of ways to get yet more of our money. Illinois is now wanting to add a 1cent tax per ounce on soft drinks to help fight obesity. Instead of cutting their pay and benefits equal to those that pay their wages, they come up with crazy c-ap like this? I bet anyone here if a flat 20% tax was imposed on everything within a year some elected official would find some reason to increase that amount too. They come out with smokeless tobacco, now that too is being fought. But yet legalized marijuana is great. Another source of new taxation.
