I thought the level of criminal evil carried out by this administration was best exemplified by the use of the IRS to carry out political punishment.
I think this takes the needle on the measurement of criminal evil to about 80. Operation choke-point, being run by the Justice Department, pushes that needle to 96 out of 100.
We have in Washington, under the Democrats and the Barack Obama administration, the most criminal evil in American history. Hands down.
I have written often about the evil in the IRS exemptions department. It is time to comment on the criminal evil in the Justice Department. Is it unfair of me to point out that the head of the Justice Department, Eric Holder, is black? Being a black is not relevant but being a black Democrat appointed by Barack Obama is a bad sign.
Project choke-point dates back more than a year. It was claimed to be a campaign against illegal money laundering. (I personally consider all money laundering to be desirable but that is a separate issue.) Project choke-point became an effort by the criminal evil forces in the Justice Department to use bank regulatory authorities to harass banks. The goal in harassing the banks, so far 80 banks have been harassed by their regulatory authorities that control their survival, is to close the accounts of perfectly legal businesses.
The largest group of businesses that have been harmed so far have been payday lenders. These are the retail outlets that make loans to poor people who cannot get loans anywhere but the Mafia. The payday lenders have brought a lawsuit in Washington DC. Hopefully they will get immediate injunctive relief. I don't count on that; evil is quite prevalent in the legal system.
Not only were the legal payday lenders targeted but the Democratic-Union Party went after some of their other moral enemies. Everything in business associated with guns and ammunition has been targeted. Businesses associated with pornography have been targeted; the same goes for tobacco and dating services.
There is no possible reason that bank regulators should use their power of life and death over banks to tell banks to punish legitimate businesses.
This whole concept is beyond my comprehension. It is evil at such a high level that it makes one think our government and our regulatory agencies are infested with a moral cancer.
Let me take one step back from this whole process. I am a lover of commerce. I appreciate commerce.
One of the most important qualities of commerce, that I seldom emphasize, is the ability of commerce to circumvent the evils of government regulation. When the Arab nations first instituted their boycott of oil to Israel, Shell Oil Company found a secret way to sell oil to Israel and still remain in the oil business. Commerce always finds a way to circumvent the evil of government regulation.
Which is by way of saying that all of the industries and businesses targeted by the evil criminal Justice Department and its bureaucratic cancerous parasites will simply create a new underground banking system.
I look forward to using this underground banking system which up until now has probably been the exclusive home of the drug cartels. It will soon be available to all of us and will make sure that we can transfer money anonymously.
It is not going to be bitcoin because bitcoin does not make sense; but it will be something similar that makes good sense in operation and functionality.
I welcome our new underground banking system.
