Who Are the Real Criminals?
By Kevin S. Van Horn, vanhorn@excite.com.
In the early days of 1996, there gathered together 509 crime
lords -- officers of the greatest criminal organization in the
Western Hemisphere -- who conspired to organize a campaign of
violence and intimidation against the residents of the
territories they controlled. A week later the plan was approved
by the head crime boss.
The 509 crime lords are commonly known as Senators and
Congressmen; the head crime boss goes by the title of President;
and their plan is sometimes known as the Communications
Disempowerment Act. Like Mafia chieftains, they do not take upon
themselves the risk of personally carrying out their criminal
plot; yet by planning, organizing, and ordering the foul deed,
they are every bit as guilty as their underworld counterparts.
To some it may seem extreme to call those who passed the CDA
criminals, but if one applies to Congress and the President the
same standards by which ordinary mortals are judged, there is no
other word for them. For how is this mandate to be enforced?
Those who refuse to buckle under -- though they be the most
peaceful and honest of persons, guilty only of writing a few
words -- will be fined (robbed of) a quarter of a million
dollars, and imprisoned (kidnapped) for two years; and if they
are young, male, and slightly built, they can expect to be
repeatedly raped during their imprisonment. If they should refuse
to submit to punishment, the threat of lethal force -- a gun in
the face -- will be used to make them submit. And if they attempt
to defend themselves against this violence, they can expect to be
gunned down mercilessly.
Thus the CDA amounts to a campaign of violence and intimidation
waged against even honest and peaceful people. If this is not
criminal behavior, what is? And if those who ordered this
campaign of violence cannot properly be called dangerous and
violent criminals, who can?
