The Price Of Swindle: $35 Each
 

I am hereby convinced that there is no longer any argument remaining for obeying the law that has as its predicate any sort of respect for authority, for equality, or in any other fashion that reaches beyond self-preservation.

I make this statement without reservation and when, not if, the various organs of government and their minions find themselves on the wrong end of the people coming to the conclusion that they no longer have enough to lose to care about the remaining argument for compliance, I will turn my head and erect the middle finger in their direction as they cry for sympathy while being led to whatever fate awaits them.

Why?

Because it has been officially announced by our government that the price of felony criminal fraud that has destroyed the integrity of the recording system protecting the largest asset that most Americans hold, their homes, aggregating in the trillions of dollars, is a mere $35 a crack.

Lender Processing Services Inc. (LPS), a publicly traded mortgage servicing company based in Jacksonville, Fla., has agreed to pay $35 million in criminal penalties and forfeiture to address its participation in a six-year scheme to prepare and file more than 1 million fraudulently signed and notarized mortgage-related documents with property recorders’ offices throughout the United States. The settlement, which follows a felony guilty plea from the chief executive officer of wholly owned LPS subsidiary DocX LLC, was announced today by Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida Robert E. O’Neill.

Since the price of a felony has been established a-priori as $35 each, I'd like to prepay for a pack of 10 felonies of my choosing to be used at any time I wish and against anyone I wish. 

Should the Department of Just-Us decide to accept my offer to prepay for said felonies, absolving me of all liability (other than my payment, of course), I will conscientiously add that I will use them "judiciously" to exactly the same extent as the Just-US system has set forth in their example.

I of course fully expect the US Department of Just-US to (silently) refuse said offer.

But by doing so, and by entering into this "agreement" the United States Federal Government has made clear that there is no longer any obligation in terms of any purported "social contract" for people to obey the law, nor any reason for compliance beyond the fear of outrageously disparate prosecution.

When this sinks in among the population as a whole, and it will, the outcome will be the DOJ's fault as a direct and proximate consequence of this sort of utter crap. 

That outcome will become one of simple arithmetic -- that there are many more of "us" than them -- and the next act will become a "civilized debate" between ten wolves (the common man) and one sheep (those in government) over what to eat for dinner.

Bon appetit.

This is just disappointing. And tomorrow I am going to go view my dream home, but I've come to find it was initially a foreclosure and then the later buyer also defaulted so it is like a double foreclosure! I'm terrified if I actually buy it and start making payments it will not ever actually been mine legally.

Two points to add.

One, there are so many laws that you have do idea if what you do in your daily life is legal or if it is a felony. How can people be expected to have any respect for what is essentially a mine-field masquerading as a legal system?

Two, this crap AKA the police make up a lie about why you were pulled over. http://reason.com/blog/2013/02/15/tennes.... Instead of "you can't make this **** up" sometimes I find myself wishing that this **** was made up.

Have a good day fellow criminals/suspects,

Karl, when factoring in the cost of a felony and wanting to buy 10 for yourself I believe you forgot to factor in the "volume discount".

Since Karl started the tea bag protest, how about we take $350.00 of Monopoly money, life money or whatever fraudulent currency you can find and send Eric Holder at the DOJ a letter with $350 in it and ask for our "10 Felony Gift Certificate".

This will protest the lack us Justice at the DOJ and of course, bring attention to the FED's money printing activities. (Our fiat money is interchangeable with their fiat money.

It is even possible that the DOJ will forward the money to Treasury and they will not have to buy "inflated paper" at inflated prices, they can just reissue our payments into the economy.

So, I am eying this beach front house up the street... All I have to do is look up the public records, assign it to myself, claim the "deadbeats" haven't paid me for the note I conveniently lost, and then seal the whole package with my interpretation of Linda Green's notary signature.

Last week I could have done it for free and now it's going to cost me thirty five dollars? Who do I make the check out to?

This is indeed selling the Law.

Magna Carta:

"To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice."

'Selling the Law' = "The Law is what we say it is" = the proven abomination and despotic tyranny that is the lie of "Divine Right of Kings" = the lawless State (which ALWAYS fails, and all too often, catastrophically, and with great bloodshed of the perps and all their accomplices).

If history is any indication (and it sure is), some people appear to be extremely determined to place advanced reservations with lamp posts.

After 30+ years spent fruitlessly attempting to protect these idiots from themselves, I think time has about run out for them, sad to say.
