Here is a vastly more important story: “Amish farmer sold herbal health products. He’s going to prison for 6 years” (http://www.kentucky.com/news/local/crime/article159031869.html). Samuel A. Girod is a member of the Old Order Amish faith (which is a type of Christianity), thus, his religious beliefs persuaded him to live a simple and low-tech lifestyle. He tried to sell herbal health products without government-mandated labels, and he does not recognize the supreme authority of the US government, thus, the US justice system overreacted and sent him to prison for 6 years. He should be sent to jail for one weekend for every month he refuses to comply. In addition, the US government should simplify its regulations for labels in regard to the Amish. The US government or any government needs to do a better job of customizing solutions for peculiar individuals and unique communities. The fundamental rules should be the same, but the details could vary.
The US government insisted Samuel A. Girod violated very serious safety rules. His herbal health products could, might, possibly, potentially, and maybe seriously harm his uninformed customers. Thus, the US government must greatly punish this evil man and stop his evil business. Meanwhile, the US government allows the gigantic chemical corporation DuPont, its various shell corporations, and their financial trickery to truly poison the environment and many people at various locations for many decades.
DuPont pays an extremely tiny fraction of its international revenue as compensation for its many crimes of severe environmental pollution and poisoning of many people around the world: “Dupont May Dodge Toxic Lawsuits By pulling a Disappearing Act. . . . The Teflon Toxin Part 10 . . . . In this series, Sharon Lerner exposes DuPont’s multi-decade cover-up of the severe harms to health associated with a chemical known as PFOA, or C8, and associated compounds such as PFOS and GenX”(https://theintercept.com/2016/06/15/dupont-may-dodge-toxic-lawsuits-by-pulling-a-disappearing-act/). This is like saying a robber is required to give back 1% of his/her loot, thus, the robber has every reason to continue his/her crimes.
One of the wealthy heirs, Robert H. Richards IV, of the DuPont corporation got away with sexually assaulting his 2 children: “One Percenter Convicted Of Raping Child Dodges Jail Because He ‘Will Not Fare Well’” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/30/robert-richards-rape_n_5060386.html). Back in 2009 at Delaware, Robert H. Richards IV, was convicted of sexually assaulting his toddler daughter and son. Due to his fancy lawyer’s plea deal and the judge’s concern about the “unfair” harshness of prison life, Robert H. Richards IV was only required to undergo psychological treatment and probation.
We should have a completely public or partially public database of how judges, lawyers, and the police deal with various lawbreakers in various situations. Then professionals and dedicated amateurs could analyze trends that unfairly favor certain people over other people by means of hypocrisy, double-standards, inaccurate testimonies, fake forensics, plea deals based on threats and torture, insider deals and revolving doors (e.g., legalized bribery and similar social circles), blatant favoritism/nepotism/cronyism, etc.
Ignore the long history of insider deals and revolving doors between the DuPont corporation and the US government. We’re suppose to believe this is the world’s best justice system. It’s not a plutocracy, an autocracy, a kleptocracy, or other forms of an oligarchy. It is a super-advanced democracy of the people by the people: “Empire Files: The Hidden Purging of Millions of Voters” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUSTTkhiZUI). The Zionist Christian Republican Party (i.e., GOP) has a long history of falsely accusing black voters of voter fraud (e.g., people with similar names in the phone book), sending black voters to voting centers that are faraway and with horribly long lines, throwing out black votes with very minor mistakes (e.g., a small random mark), requiring black voters to go through bureaucratic and/or costly voting registration, etc. To a lesser extent, the Republican Party also cheats Hispanic voters, Asian voters, college-student voters, and other voters who do not support the Republican Party.
We’re suppose to believe President Trump will fix these and other problems in order to make America great again, but that is a modern myth for the Grand Old Party (GOP). The Trump presidency is using insider deals and revolving doors between the Blackstone Group (a Zionist American investment bank), his son-in-law Jared Kushner (Zionist Jew), and the Saudi regime (which is based on an Islamic, theocratic feudalism) to rebuild and update America’s real estate and infrastructure. That’s a euphemism for a corporate-governmental cartel controlling our real estate and infrastructure: “[152] How America Is Being Sold Off, Richest 5 Men Own Half The World & More” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crblxxh2gsE).
Trump (the inherited and bankrupted business con-artist) is perpetuating the established system in which bankers, business managers, and government officials monopolize our private institutions and public organizations. In other words, economic alchemy and legalese double-standards rule over modernity. Scientists and engineers are treated as lesser workers, even though all modern civilizations are fundamentally based on the tangible ideas and practical creations of scientists and engineers. If we want to increase the efficiency and rate of real-world advancements, then we need to give more influence to scientists and engineers and decrease the influence of bankers, business managers, and government officials. We also need various measurements to analyze each person’s and each unique community’s quality-of-life in order to customize solutions for diverse sustainability or development.
Random news:
Too many people have lousy taste in entertainment. Back in 2017 February, the Pokemon Go video game for the smartphone broke various download and sales records: “Report: Pokémon Go has now crossed $1 billion in revenue” (https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/01/report-pokemon-go-has-now-crossed-1-billion-in-revenue/). This is impressively horrible. The Pokemon brand consists of various games that are all based on the highly repetitive collection of fake animals and training them for simple and tedious fights. Pokemon Go sold well for hardcore gamers, casual gamers, younger gamers, and older gamers. The only good thing about Pokemon Go is that it persuaded people to go outside and walk around more often. However, these people constantly stare down at their smartphones and continuously perform simple actions in order to find, collect, and train fake animals. Pokemon Go should teach people about real organisms and para-organisms (e.g., protists, fungi, plants, animals, bacteria, archaebacteria, and viruses). The game should also involve a lot more skill and a lot less “grinding”.
Amazon.com has done a phenomenal job of becoming the most popular Internet store in America: “Amazon has a death grip on the US economy capturing nearly $1 of every $2 Americans spend online” (http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-07-08-amazon-has-a-death-grip-on-the-u-s-economy-capturing-nearly-1-of-every-2-americans-spend-online.html). Amazon.com also has the advantage against many local, building stores. In the long-run, any type of monopoly becomes bad for the customer. If a business knows it is the only provider for an important service and/or product, then the business will increase its prices and/or lower its quality as much as possible to exploit its customers. The monopolistic business will also become more disrespectful toward customers. This is what happened with the cartel that consists of telecommunication corporations, which obtained a government-mandated monopoly.
Amazon.com wants better tracking, surveillance, or espionage of its customers (and competitors): “Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) Delays Launch of Amazon Go Grocery Store ” (http://investorplace.com/2017/03/amazon-com-inc-go-amzn/). Amazon.com said this tracking system will help customers find better products and related products.
However, this tracking system could be exploited by the corporate-governmental oligarchy to identify, suppress, and/or punish independent-minded people: “How EFF cracked printers' "hidden dots" code in 2005” (http://boingboing.net/2017/06/10/reality-winner.html). Starting in the 1990s (and possibly earlier), corporations worked with government regulators to standardize printers that secretly printed identification codes on every printed document. The printed document’s identification codes involve extremely tiny and very light dots that create a secret language about the printed document’s creation time and date plus the printer’s identification code. Electronic documents could also contain this secret tracking code in the form of metadata. The primary purposes are to capture criminals and to provide efficient organization of documents, but tracking codes have been used to spy on and capture whistle-blowers, protesters, and anyone who disapproves of the ruling class and its loyal servants.
The G20 summit started this week in Germany, and the G20 meeting is suppose to gather the leaders of the nations with the top 20 economies for the purpose of solving global problems. The G20 summit takes place in various nations. In reality, the G20 summit is used to entrench the ruling classes in various nations and to minimize protests and rebellions by commoners and independent-minded people. Generally speaking, Germans are amongst the smartest people on this planet. Many Germans know the partial to complete truth about the G20 summit, thus, they protested and rioted against the G20 summit:
