Stealing America describes the over-criminalization of citizens, the un-Constitutional establishment of the "law" as a religion, the vacuous undeserved "respect" demanded by the law, and confirms Machiavelli's warning that "princely" power destroys those who criticize the "royalty" in charge of us.
The book cover summarizes: "In the fall of 2014, outspoken pundit, author, and film-maker Dinesh D'Souza found himself hauled into federal court for improperly donating money to a friend who was running for the Senate. D'Souza pleaded guilty, apologized for his offense, and was sentenced to eight months in a state-run confinement center near his home in San Diego. In the facility, he lived among hardened criminals--drug dealers, thieves, gangbangers, rapists, and murderers. Now, in this timely, fresh, provocative, and entertaining book, the bestselling author explains how this experience not only changed his life, but fundamentally transformed his perception of his adopted country."
D'Souza found fascism, law worship and judges-as-gods:
Page 6: The judge said: "The campaign law offense and much inaccurate chatter and interviews surrounding this case do not promote respect for the law and need to be remedied" (Amazing: "respect for the law" is what judges always rely on to rationalize their determinations. Without the cosmetic "respect for the law", all government would be seen as the oppressive thuggery which it is--which is why "respect" propaganda is the first, last and only thing which matters to those in the law so they do not have to realize what frauds and tyrants they all really are, and can intimidate and fool the public into allowing their fascism to proceed).
Page 13: Maliciously, FBI agents were all over the case even wanting an assistant of D'Souza to wear a hidden wire to show he broke the campaign finance law because he has shown contempt for such laws (So, in America, there is no freedom to express "contempt", so richly deserved, for the "law" with the current non-Founders in charge.).
Page 14: The judge refuses to open government files which may show evidence of selective prosecution (So, in America, "equal protection" is as big a myth as "respect for the law"--both being propaganda and shams).
Page 27: The judge issues a terse order that confinement begin immediately, instead of in six weeks as apparently was customary for such non-severe illegalities (No doubt to appease the government fascists pressuring the judge to lynch D'Sousa for trivialities).
Page 149-152: The judge orders comprehensive psychiatric and psychological examinations of D'Souza, all of which declare benignity. Disbelieving, the judge then maliciously orders government psychiatric examinations which also were "completely normal." The judge orders weekly counseling anyway while in confinement (May be "respect for the law" means that counseling is needed for those who do not think the way the judge thinks?).
Page 151: The judge maliciously wanted D'Souza to do "makeup classes" for his community service when classes were cancelled on Christmas and New Year holidays (D'Souza wondered if the judge did "makeup" hearings when the court closed for holidays).
Page 252-253: Nearing the end of confinement, the judge insisted on more counseling, dismissing the recommendations of D'Souza's trained counselor, who had examined him weekly for eight months, together with two medical psychiatrists, all pronouncing D'Souza perfectly normal. "The judge said that as a psych major in college, he believed that I was in need of further counseling." (To me, this proved that those who really need psychiatric evaluation and medical help are judges and all in government as I wrote in "Healthy Government" (1) in 1984).
To read this book is to find that the current flurry of efforts to correct police misdeeds pale compared to what is needed in the judiciary, the prosecution, and for every government worker from the White House to the local Medicare desk clerk (those in the military and in Postal Service excluded). Fascism intrinsically reigns from governments always. Period. The differences between the celebrated government of the United States and condemned Stalinist Sovietism is merely of degree, of whom targeted and of the gods in charge. As a Great Course on the origin of evil once proclaimed about government law: "The law does not care about truth or justice but about legalisms." See my articles "Law Worship" (2), "American Fascism" (3), and "GGG--GmtGmtGmt--What I Learned" (4).
By mistakenly making illegal contributions for the election of a friend, D'Souza found all this out and thankfully wrote about how America has been "stolen" by corrupt, lying, arrogant, un-virtuous politicians and almost all of the liberal Democratic Party in the United States. I had a similar experience (5) from government fascists and was incarcerated for five months in prison, which was much more intense than D'Souza's eight months of overnight confinement to a half-way house where he was allowed his usual daytime activities at his home. Like D'Souza, I did not fit in, and fellow criminals asked me almost daily, "Why are you here?" All shook their heads hearing that I was 77 years old, first offense, no violence, with plea bargain for three 3rd degree felonies based on a law which declared a physician to be "trafficking in drugs" if he prescribed pain medications without doing physical examinations (even though the surgery was decades old) and without getting pain specialist consultations every three months (even when pain specialists were refused by the patients).
I must add that my own experience in several prisons was worse, but I learned much more: Inmates were raised without virtuous fathers; by disturbed mothers; no virtue education; no meaningful developmentally sound childhood; learning disabled; poorly educated; deprived; unloved; no job skills; muscle preoccupied and grandly tattooed to send a protective "tough guy" message; always ready for violence; mental illnesses common; rare visitors; gang commitments; street drug use beginning in all by 11 years of age; using drugs to escape from a dehumanizing culture of prurience and violence because the press & media do not understand that the First Amendment was really to keep citizens in believing and following the Ten Commandments known to the Founders; no meaningful rehabilitation; most were recidivists over and over; those in the legal system getting wealthy by prison industry investments earned by keeping prisons full (Some prisoners said "We are commodities"); and knowing that he will be discharged alone (no family or friends to pick him up) at completion of sentence, dressed in non-prison simple attire, having been given eighty dollars, and dropped off at the nearest bus station (all this after years or decades in prison). I heard many times from the older guys, "When it got too bad, I did something to get arrested and imprisoned again"--which for many is better than open living in the empty, impoverished, job-less, anti-family, feminist, anti-virtuous-male, abortion-filled, child-destroying, virtue-ignoring, prurient and violence-filled dead America which created them. I had thousands of hours of listening to, talking with, and drawing out the minds of the worst criminals reminding of Walker Percy's "All doctors should spend two years in prison. They'd treat their patients better, as fellow flawed human beings"(6). I would say that three months would be enough but more strongly recommend that all politicians, lawyers and journalists spend three months in prison also--Who knows, they might want to re-create America as founded.
Knowing the Ten Commandments of the Founders will be suppressed, I offered "Rehabilitation Implosion" (6) and "Ten Suggestions" (7), both censored by the press which does not allow criticism of journalism--because it is the "ism" that destroyed America. So America has not just been "stolen." It has been killed, and the America of the Founders is dead.
Stealing America demonstrates how abortion (and contraception) have "killed" the America of the Founders (8,9) predicted by my book The Death of America (10) written in 1974 because of Roe v. Wade. Thus, Stealing America understates the current tyranny--as stated by Thomas Jefferson: "When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty." Without a doubt, the United States government is a tyranny as run by liberal Democrats especially. Read and promulgate D'Sousa's book and every thing else this contemporary "Thomas Jefferson" (D'Souza) produces. Also read the Liberal Declaration of Independence and let the revolution begin (Addendum). The current royalty in charge of America need the French Revolution, and that royalty includes the press & media.
Addendum--the liberal declaration of independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
That all men, women, healthy wanted children, and creatures intermittently personalized and adored, are created as selfish as they can get away with, and are genetically endowed by DNA to have unalienable materialist-crooked-politician and self-serving-judge determined RIGHTS: the Right to LIFE as authorized by evolutionary dogmatic liberal numerologists, the Right to LIBERTY as confirmed by the scientific bosses of the liberal race, and the Right to the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS as imposed by imperial liberal” prior restraint” using editors & journalists in obedience to their infallible owners.
This is where we are now. It is a massive contradiction to evolution, and it absolutely rebuts all claims that man has improved over the past 10,000 years in spite of the glitz. The prehistoric people are back in charge—They are the AMERICAN ROYALTY (the liberal US Congress, Executive, Judiciary, all elected and appointed public officials, and editors and journalists of the liberal Press&Media). Here is how they CORRUPT themselves:
-making and promoting laws and rules for others which they do not have to follow
(And that IS ROYALTY, for sure!);
-funding their own retirement and health care plans not available to lesser citizens;
-building financial empires while in public office
-imposing procedure and service codes on everyone except themselves
-without conscience, superego or decency (Never ever wrong!);
-refusing to resign when guilty as hell about damn near everything (Deny! Deny!)
-incapable of disgrace or embarrassment even when found conspiring on the internet;
-destroying the 2500 year old Hippocratic Oath and turning the Medical Profession
into a state of Indentured Servitude ruining health care;
-suppressing, offending and depriving people of the free exercise of religion,
especially Catholics and other Christians;
-selecting the material, applying the tone, and presenting disproportionately to
misuse the facts in order to manipulate the people any way possible;
-suffering from arrogant ignorance and intellectual pride by refusing term limits;
-self-righteously contemptuous of all but their own points of view (Lie! Lie!);
-deforming the Constitution into a joke;
-protesting what was done to “victims,” only doing it themselves to those disliked;
-infantalizing citizens (socialism) i.e., doing what America, up to now, avoided doing
(and thereby achieved and maintained greatness—which she could not have done
with socialistic dependent, irresponsible, lazy, incompetent, parasitic citizens who
get paid to vote and not to work.);
-and humping away in sexual activity rejected by the animal kingdom—
The liberal US Congress, Executive and Judiciary and the liberal Press&Media are anti-
Transcendental self-proclaimed ROYALTY without Truth, Oneness, Good or
Beauty, and haven’t got a clue except their own grunting solipsisms—royalty cavemen
for sure—as selfish as they can get away with and traitors to the American Dream!
Corruption and Justice….to prevent the establishment of “Royalty” and the "hand of Herod" (our government at work)
“LEGICARE”
Charles Dickens said, "The law is an ass." I have discovered that government law is a capitalist system scheme to control and extort citizens under the guise of "promoting the common good." It makes money for politicians and all in the law system, selected favored groups and individuals, all employees of the metastatic law megabureaucracy, and for their dictating friends in the press and media. Seeking a veiled totalitarianism, government law manages occasionally to be virtuous, but overall, it seeks neither truth or justice, but inflated preening self-righteousness of arranging legalisms (Lego block equivalents) into an outhouse of sorts. Totally unconstitutional, the government law is an "established religion" with pompous courtroom rituals and dogmatisms second to none in authoritarianism. It is an opiate for those in power. It deserves neither respect nor admiration but fear and contempt pretending safety, respect and admiration. The best way to understand government law and those in it is by the New Testament metaphors of "scribes and Pharisees" (and add Herodians and Pontius Pilate too). The following corrective measures are needed. Until implemented, all government law is a tyranny in every country wherever it is; and government laws only differ on whom and how destroyed.
True Justice requires all political systems to address CORRUPTION by these rules for all political leaders of any nature (elected, appointed, appropriated):
To SERVE THE PEOPLE is a privilege to be paid for…SERVING THE PEOPLE is not a method of becoming tyrannical ROYALTY. Rules are needed to prevent the corruption in the legal system because attorneys especially have innate conflict of interest in that the more they complicate and aggravate the problem, the more fees they can charge. Recording and documentation of federally defined and fee-fixed procedure and service codes are needed for every attorney, judge, and federal bureaucracy member. Essentially, now THE SYSTEM only works well for those IN it i.e., politicians, judges, attorneys, and those in the bureaucracy. For the rest of us, THE SYSTEM is basically anti-freedom and anti-independence because it exerts fascist-like control almost automatically oppressive. The people are entitled to EQUALITY before the law. This basically means that the Legal System for attorneys must be equivalent to Obamacare for physicians. Like medicine, the government law has become a capitalist business with Soviet style powers rather than a profession for the Common Good. The tendered rules will correct this and prevent the corrupting influence of "power." All government law--every government law--is a tyranny in every country where ever it is; and government laws only differ in whom and how destroyed. At best, government law is a necessary evil masquerading as the common good but only preventing anarchy, so all suffer the same except those in law.
None.
The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest.
