It seems fitting to write part II of this series today. The Associated Press, an organization of worthless empty individuals, who publish a good majority of the propaganda in the world wrote a story about Michael Vick today. In yet another travesty of justice the AP claims:
Vick is serving a 23-month prison sentence at the U.S. penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., after pleading guilty last year to bankrolling a dogfighting ring.
Wow, that’s quite a leap from the true charge which was:
Conspiracy to Travel in Interstate Commerce in Aid of Unlawful Activities. and to Sponsor a Dog in an Animal Fighting Venture.
Of course the average American wouldn’t understand this law, the AP will claim this as justification for their LIE. I say perhaps the U.S. government shouldn’t be charging people with crimes the average man wouldn’t understand. Of course this fancy title helps the government with it’s political prosecutions, like Mike Vick. Indeed the government enjoyed the distraction that Vick’s case brought during a tough period in Iraq. Overnight the front page of every newspaper in America changed from Iraq to Vick. The organization PETA was leading the charge, flip flopping between screams for Mike Vick’s blood and disclaimers of having to wait for his trial to finish. Indeed the organization that was often ridiculed in most American media markets, became credible overnight.
Now the government had only one task, to make Vick guilty. The initial charge truly helped as conspiracy is a code word in the American justice system for prosecute at all costs. The prosecution’s game plan was simple, take the three tired hooligans associated with Mike Vick and lean on them until they flipped. Now mind you the government had very little concern in justice all they wanted was a prosecution. So here’s how they did it. These three tired jokers were threatened with superceding charges, meaning they could plead guilty to minor charges now and flip on Vick or face the hammer. The fact that a judge let such nonsense go unchecked is amazing. This is the equivalent to plead guilty to jay walking today or we’ll charge you with reckless endangerment next week. If you gave me this kind of power I could make the three stooges flip on anybody with any charge I wanted. I mean this put the capital BS in integrity. If only the BS had stopped here, if only it had, Mike Vick would be free today.
The BS didn’t stop right there though, because what came next was the whopper of American justice. The threat of RICO charges. The RICO charge is indeed a charge that was created to prosecute at all costs, it is the mother of all charges. Basically the federal government can take any convict in America get them to testify against you for a lighter sentence and successfully prosecute with Rico charges. The burden of proof is almost non existent. This is for good reason though as the charge was initially created to prosecute gangsters, the kind who could make witnesses disappear. Of course since then it has turned into a shotgun blast of phony justice, http://www.independent.org/publications/tir/article.asp?articleID=215&issueID=38. I find it amusing that the U.S. government goes around the world lecturing about corruption and human rights, when an innocent man like Mike Vick can be annihilated in such a circus of justice. Mike Vick isn’t the first though, nor will he be the last.
So the AP can continue to write it’s lies, much like it did in the swaying of public opinion against Vick. In the end God will lay his judgement on us all, I’m pretty fine with where I sit, and I’m pretty sure Mike Vick will be fine. After all let’s not forget that prior to his unjust demise Vick was helping those that society ignored, providing a great example for all god’s children.
