So much for that whole XIII Amendment thingee…
Hmmmm… I wonder what the definition is of some who;
- Has legal control over every aspect of another human’s life.
- Turns the same human being over to another person or institution for profit.
I may be grossly oversimplifying this, but yeah, I’d call this active participation in not just generic slavery, but the slave trade, proper. So, don’t even try to church it up.
What can I say, other than I’m a big believer in Occam’s Razor. Just in case of any obstacles, always fallback to slipping the Gordian Knot.
But back to the topic at hand.
As propagandized by the Associated Press via MSN.com (emphasis mine);
President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It’s the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.
Wow. Is it just me or does the AP sound like Biden’s simply forgiving a few wayward lads who were guilty of little more than being late for altar boy practice?
Interestingly enough, the AP made no mention of the commuted sentence of ex-judge Michael Conahan.
What, you’ve never heard of him? Well, let’s just remedy that. As reported by Britty Bernstein of National Review (emphasis mine);
President Biden on Thursday commuted the prison sentence of Michael Conahan, a former judge who pleaded guilty to sending juvenile defendants to two private, for-profit detention centers in exchange for $2.1 million in kickbacks.
The 72-year-old judge pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy charges in 2011 and was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison for the “Kids-for-Cash” scheme.
He has been in home confinement in Florida under federal supervision since June 2020, when he requested a “compassionate release” because of the Covid-19 pandemic, arguing he was “in grave danger of not only contracting the virus, but of dying from the virus.”
What… just charged with racketeering conspiracy? Why is it that so many people are so deathly afraid of the S-Word? This is the slave trade… period.
Then again, this administration has lost track of somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 children at our southern border. Slave labor or even worse, sex slaves, the Biden White House hasn’t a clue. Nor do they give a damn.
But wait, there’s more in regards of Biden’s alleged “No one’s above the law” mantra;
Others who had their sentences commuted on Thursday included Rita Crundwell and Eric Bloom, whom the Chicago Tribune called “two of the Chicago area’s most notorious fraudsters.” Crundwell, 71, the former comptroller of Dixon, Ill., embezzled nearly $54 million from the town in and pleaded guilty in 2012. Bloom, 59, the one-time head of a management firm, was convicted in 2012 of defrauding investors of more than $665 million, according to the paper.
