America Now Has A Dual Justice System. One for Ordinary People and One for People with Enormous Wealth

Amerika in the 21st Century.

"To the extent laws were broken, we need deterrents. If someone robs a 7-11, they took $500 and they were able to settle the next day for $50 and no admission of wrongdoing, they'd knock over that 7-11 again. And we've seen time after time where people and firms have made tens, one hundreds, billions of dollars. They've settled charges for pennies on the dollar.
Amerika. The Corrupt Oligarchy

Criminogenic-Producing or Intended to Produce Crime and Criminality

“This is not some evil conspiracy of two guys sitting in a room saying we should let people create crony capitalism and steal with impunity. But their policies have created an exceptional criminogenic environment. There were no criminal referrals from the regulators. No fraud working groups. No national task force. There has been no effective punishment of the elites here.”
-William K. Black, a professor of law at University of Missouri, Kansas City, and the federal government’s director of litigation during the savings and loan crisis.

Government of Iraq Bans All Protests

Ban on demonstrations in Baghdad:

Yesterday, the Iraqi puppet government banned all demonstrations. I guess we need to cite that letter by Kanaan Makiyyah in the wake of US invasion of Iraq in 2003 in which he audaciously thanked the Bush administration (on behalf of all Iraqis, presumably--do you know that Paul Wolfowitz and other Zionists hoped that Iraqis would elect Makiyyah as their leader? I kid you not) for invading his country and liberating its people.

Strong Words From a US Senator in 2006

“Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally,” the senator said at the time. “Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
