That the DOJ is a corrupt organization (specifically the FBI & DEA) is accepted as fact by a majority of citizens. A DC Magistrate just ruled on the latest example of such corruption.

An ethos of “the ends justifies the means” permeates most of law enforcement in America. When this occurred exactly is difficult to ascertain; but, the “War on Drugs” (which replaced the War on Poverty in the 1970s) appears to be the likely starting point of it being pervasive. I actually think it got its start in 1928, as Judge Brandeis warned in his dissent:

To declare that – in the administration of criminal law – the end justifies the means, to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure conviction of a private criminal would bring terrible retribution.

Olmstead v. United States – Justice Brandeis

Brandeis was affirmed in Katz v. United States, but that left 39 years for law enforcement to develop unconstitutional methods (i.e the ends justify the means). In other words, the damage was already done because bad habits had taken hold and persist to this day.

For example, Keith A. Becker (and his minions) obtained an obviously illegal NIT warrant(s) to commit a heinous crime to catch those committing equally or less heinous crimes. Digest that fact for a moment. Operation Torpedo, (then Pacifier) consisted of Keith (and his clowns) actively distributing CSAM – completely unfettered – for weeks! Then (to catch people committing equal or lessor crimes), they fraudulently obtained a warrant to install malware on visiting machines. As I’ve explained before, Operation Torpedo consisted of legitimate and illegitimate malware schemes. Pacifier’s malware was legitimate as well; but, the courts ruled that “Leon” applied to the NIT warrant without considering that Pacifier was the second time Keith used that illegal warrant scheme. (My FOIA lawsuit aims to shed light on that criminality).

What I’m saying is that the ends justifies the means law enforcement ethos is unconstitutional and un-American. And more people should label it as such, so we can eradicate it before we are really subject to an unfettered American Gestapo.

For anyone who doubts the vindictiveness of the DOJ, one needs to look no further than the backpage.com case. But there are plenty of other examples, like this decade old case against Aaron Swartz. Sadly, like Aaron, Jim Larkin committed suicide before this third ridiculous trial began.

As you can see from the case link above, the Judge in this third trial has thrown out most of the remaining charges against Lacey (because they are baseless) and proves that Kamala Harris is not a good person.

But since our justice system is severely corrupt, there will be no consequences for any of them. Just look at my open Letter to Josh Stroschein, who can face no consequences for his misdeeds in my case but refuses to engage in a dialog.

Update 8-30-2024: So it looks like the Injustice Department got its pound of flesh from Michael Lacey via their Backpage persecution. This case – among many others (including mine) – proves that most of America’s criminal justice activities are like those of any authoritarian police state (e.g. over-criminalization & zero accountability for prosecutor misconduct).

Hopefully, Mr. Lacey will be exonerated on appeal, but in a system as corrupt as ours, I wouldn’t bank on it.
