Democrats Have Resurrected Law as a Weapon that Serves Power instead of Justice by Paul Craig Roberts!

Fani Willis, the incompetent and apparently corrupt black female Atlanta district attorney reportedly put in office by George Soros billions, is in more hot water than Donald Trump is in from her fabricated case against him.

Fani appointed Nathan Wade, who is believed to be her lover, special prosecutor to aid in Donald Trumps kangaroo trial. According to county records reviewed by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fulton County paid Wade $654,000 in tax payers money since January 2022. The money appears to be what financed the couples lavish vacations. The white liberal Democrats are disturbed that Willis was so stupid as to damage her case against Donald Trump by destroying her credibility and public perception of her integrity.

Fanis defense is, of course, that the race card is being played against her as she and her lover are black. There are two ways you can look at her self-justification. One is that blacks have learned from Jews that a claim of victimhood is a shield against being held accountable. The other is that she has no comprehension of acceptable behavior for public officials.

We have an interesting situation in which the prosecutions at the state and county level against Donald Trump are in the hands of black women put in office by George Soros. Why is Soros doing this? Some people think that Soros himself got away with stealing his billions from the Bank of England via his manipulation of the British currency. Where was James Bond when the British needed him?

Criminal justice in America is in a serious situation when one billionaire can staff up state and local district attorneys with blacks taught to hate "white exploiters" who are sicced on Donald Trump, his attorneys, and his supporters. The trials are unconstitutional, because a black jury consisting of people taught to hate "white racists" does not constitute a "jury of peers" for a white person.

What happened to the justice system that a president of the United States finds himself the target of weaponized law used for racial, ideological, and political reasons, and there is not a peep from law schools, bar associations, judges, or media? How can citizens have confidence in the veracity of prosecutions, the veracity of judges, law schools, bar associations?

"Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade allegedly did not disclose payments he received from working on the racketeering case against former President Donald Trump to his wife, leaving her without financial support throughout their divorce proceedings, according to a court document obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

"Wade, who was appointed to work on Donald Trumps case by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, is allegedly romantically involved with her and used the compensation he received from his position to take her on cruises and vacations, according to a motion filed Monday by a Trump co-defendant. In separate filings for his divorce case obtained by the DCNF, Wades wife alleges he did not disclose to her over $700,000 in earnings from the county.

"Wades wife alleges he has continued to draw from her bank account, leaving it "routinely overdrawn" despite "the clear inequity in financial circumstances." His wife has been a stay-at-home mom for 20 years and relied on Wade for support during the course of their marriage, according to the filing.

"Willis was subpoenaed earlier this week to testify in Wades divorce proceedings, according to CNN.

"Wade filed for divorce on November 2, 2021, the day after his contract with Willis began, according to court filings. He had his divorce case sealed on February 10, 2022, according to the Monday motion filed by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman.

"Republican United States Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene sent a criminal referral Wednesday to Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr asking for an investigation into Willis and expressing "serious concerns" about the allegations. Greene suggested Willis could have violated a number of Georgia statutes, including violations of public oath, bribery, improper influence of a government official and more."

Americans Enslaved Themselves to the State When They Accepted the Income Tax by Paul Craig Roberts!

It was not until 1913, 137 years after the Declaration of Independence established a free people who are no longer free, that there was an income tax. Years ago I researched and wrote the story of how it happened. It exists somewhere in print. In the old analogue, library card file days, it would have been easy to find. The income tax required a Constitutional Amendment. I remember some of the story. What I remember is this:

The threshold for being subject to income tax was high, and the first rate was 1%. The Georgia legislature voted to ratify the amendment because as one legislative leader concluded, "there is no one in Georgia with an income high enough to be subject to the tax. Let the Yankees tax themselves. Why should we object."

There was no vision of the future. 1913 was also the year that the Federal Reserve, with its policy of depression, inflation, recession, and inflation, was established and unleashed on America, and it was also the year that World War I and its inflation was about to be launched by the French, Russian, and British Governments. War and inflation quickly brought income tax home to insouciant Americans who thought they were exempt.

In 1963 prior to the Kennedy tax rate reductions the top tax rate was 91% on incomes above $200,000. Kennedy left it at 70%. Reagan left it at 50%. Today it is 39.6%, or with rounding 40%

The highest medieval tax rate on serfs was 30%. Anything higher and they revolted and killed the feudal lords. 50% was the highest tax rate on cotton plantation slaves. The other 50% of their work went for their food, clothing, shelter, and medical care.

What is indisputable is that for more than a hundred years the tax rate on American citizens has been higher or equal to the tax rate on medieval serfs and 19th century plantation slaves.

What does this mean?

It means that Americans and the entirety of Europeans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders are slaves in the same sense that blacks were slaves on southern cotton plantations.

The historical fact is that a free person is a person who owns his own labor. Just as a slave does not own his own labor, neither does any person who is subject to income tax.

In the anti-South propaganda in the 19th century, such as the propagandistic "Uncle Toms Cabin," southern slave owners are portrayed unrealistically as demoralizing their work force and destroying their capital investments in human labor by demoralizing and alienating their slaves by separating families and whipping, beating, and raping their work force.

A slave was expensive. To abuse him or her is the equivalent of abusing an expensive piece of machinery. It makes no sense for an owner to abuse his own resources. Yet southern planation owners are portrayed as people who run torture prisons.

Neither the South nor the United States are responsible for black slaves in America. The slaves that came to the New World came from the Black Kingdom of Dahomeys slave wars. The captured slaves were carried to the New World in shifts often financed by Jews. The southern plantations were not responsible for the origin of their work force. Indeed, it was an inherited institution.

For decades as April 15 approached, I pointed out that it is todays white people who pay the income taxes who are the real victims of slavery. Even after the Reagan marginal tax rate reductions, Americans pay a higher rate of tax, that is, they are more enslaved, than medieval serfs and are almost exploited by "their government" to the same extent as 19th century black slaves.

So what is "white privilege"? It is to be a slave owned by Washington,D.C., used to support privileged people of color, including millions of immigrant-invaders settled by Democrats on American slaves who pay for their upkeep?

A "free American" has ceased to exist. Such an American predates 1913.

The American liberal-left does not mind being enslaved to a good cause-the coercive use to American citizens to support causes that the people reject, such as the normalization of sexual perversion, the genocide of the Palestinians, the demonization of white people, the use of the "justice system" to destroy ideological and political opponents.

Today the insouciant American people are enslaved for causes that are to their detriment, unlike the plantations agenda of growing cotton. The American people voluntarily accepted slavery, because they thought it would apply to others-the rich. But as multi-billionaire Warren Buffet has said, his secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does.

Today slavery is much more widespread and efficient than it was in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today all over the world everyone who is employed has to supply a percentage of their labor to the state. In the 18th and 19th centuries, to acquire a slaves labor required a large capital outlay to purchase a slave from his captor or from a middleman who purchased the slave for resale. Today the state does not have to purchase the provider of the labor it confiscates. The state simply imposes an income tax. In the case of the democracies, the gullible publics voted themselves into slavery in order for the state to serve the public good.

In the 18th and 19th centuries slave owners had a large percentage of their wealth in their labor force. For the labor force to have good morale and be productive, the slaves had to be well treated. "Uncle Toms Cabin" is a propaganda tract. Whippings, rapes, and breakup of families would undermine labor productivity and the planter’s profits. There are always some self-destructive people, but abuse of ones investment property is not a general rule.

Today there is no such constraint on the state and punishments for non-performance are much worst. The state imprisons you and confiscates all of your labor. A person in a prison cell for income tax evasion is far less free than a slave on a plantation.

It is extraordinary that today freedom is measured in terms of restraints on behavior, whereas the historical definition of freedom is a person who owns his own labor. Free labor was labor free from the claims of others on it.
