Legal Extortion Should Be Illegal

In America they estimate the 95% of civil lawsuits are settled before going to Trial. What exactly does that mean? Well, we do know that once a lawsuit is filed in America, that a person has already effectively lost, for whether the Lawsuit is ever decided in one’s favor or not, the legal charges for the necessary representation are exorbitant. And unlike in France where the losers must pay all legal expenses, in America everybody is required to pay their own way. Even if you Win, you lose. It is a country where it is completely obvious that the laws and legal procedures are completely at the behest and making of the lawyers themselves. The Legal System serves the Lawyers.

So whenever in America anybody is sued, the most sensible Legal Advise is to settle. It is cheaper and easier just to Pay. But there is a word for threatening people with trouble unless they should pay a sum of money, and that word is ‘extortion’. Well, extortion is ordinarily illegal, unless it is systematically implemented by judges and lawyers who are considered officers of the court. But whatever the legal status of extortion is, depending upon who it is that enacts it, it is definitely immoral. Whenever the Immoral is Legal, then it is Corrupt.

No Legal System should allow a case to be settled simply because there is some compelling interest to settle, because that is extortion pure and simple. Likewise, if any case is ever found to have been filed without substantial cause, then not only should all costs be assumed by whoever is at fault but there should also be criminal consequences. To use the Civil Law frivolously or for extortion or harassment should have the most sever penalties attached. Most importantly, such decisions should not be solely at the discretion of the Judges, as Judges are simply big lawyers, as much to be suspected of being a part of a corrupt system as the lawyers themselves. Juries should make such decisions.

Also, I should add, that at some point in Legal History the power of Justice went from the Juries to the Judges, with Judges now deciding everything. This is all wrong. If the People are to be made to suffer Jury Duty, then they should at least have a little bit of the satisfaction of wielding Absolute Power. The Jury should be able to order anything. Yes, the Jury should even be able to have the Judges tossed out or penalized. Right now there is nothing that keeps Judges in line.

No, I don’t really think that Juries should be made up of “people too stupid to get out of Jury Duty”, as they say. Juries should be made up of qualified people. What should qualify them can be put up to discussion, only they should not be lawyers or judges, that is, Juries should not be a part of the very system that we wish to correct. For instance, no Juror should ever be allowed to socialize in the same ‘Club’ as any lawyer or Judge. Indeed, it has been a horrible miscarriage that Judges and Lawyers have been allowed to fraternize socially with each other.

Indeed, it is probably sad that it does present us with a huge argument in favor of a Caste System and Social Untouchability, that is, that Society has an overriding need to assure that some Professions be beyond the influence of ordinary social and group influences. In our case we need to consider that Judges and Lawyers can never be expected to be impartial professionally if they live with the more pressing requirements of having to get along socially together at The Same Club. Also it is worrisome that most Judges and most Lawyers belong to the same Secret Society – the Free Masons. Again, we only wish we knew their true agenda, or who was giving the orders there. The only thing we really know is that Free Masons get the promotions and the advancements, All the Success in Life, where the Non-Masons must settle for the crumbs.

I honestly don’t believe that the Legal System can ever be reformed. Too many people are making too much money the way it is. Indeed, this brings to mind a study concerning how much Money the Italian Mafia was draining from Italy and Sicily. Yes, it was a hefty sum. But then we need to compare that to the amount of Money the Legal Institutions drain from American Society. It turns out that America pays more for its Lawyer and Judges then Italy pays out to its Crooks. Is anybody surprised? As bad as it is in Sicily, it’s a model of efficiency when compared to America at its best.

By the way, that reminds me of one of the most horribly Ethnic-Racist propagandas being tossed around in America, and that is the notion that various Ethnic Groups have “Organized Crime” Gangs that maintain ‘Protection Rackets’ and exploit their members with ‘extortion’. My God! It is exactly the opposite! These Groups come to America and are confronted by corrupt, indifferent, and ineffective Police Forces and Extortionate, slow and hit and miss Legal Systems. Their requirements for Security and Conflict Resolution still exist, and so they are forced out of necessity to create their own Community Security Organizations. They appoint their own Judges and Magistrates. And how does Mainstream America react? It is all labeled as Criminal Enterprise – Organized Crime! Is this a fair view of it, or is the Mainstream just lashing out to protect its turf?

Anyway, we should probably consider the good sense demonstrated by these Ethnic Groups, in contracting for their own Security needs. Whatever the occasional drawbacks of Private Security, their costs are a fraction of what the Mainstream pays for Judges, Lawyers, Jails, Prisons, Clerks, Guards, Police, cars, traffic tickets – America’s Police State costs a forture!

Just as Italy pays less to its Mafia than America does to its lawyers, so America could find that it also could decide on a Bargain. America should place a moratorium against its Civil Legal Systems. Freeze out those Judges and Lawyers who grow fat off of everybody else’s hard work. Private Security Consultants and Private Mediators could do the intended job, quickly, and much more cheaply. Our Communities would again become morally exemplary, whatever their purely legal status, and businessmen would once again become honest. Everybody respects the Men in the Black Suits and Sun Glasses. The Fruits of Justice become swift, certain, and best of all, affordable.

And we would have the satisfaction of knowing that we had stood up to those Judges and Lawyers who had taken the American Justice System, pillaged it and used it as a weapon against us.
