Since Cloward and Piven amounts to sedition against the government and conspiracy to commit such, RICO seems to be one tool to combat such activity. The problem is proving such a case. However in defending such a case the defendants take on a heavy burden in defending themselves. As long as the case is pursued in rightful manner counter lawsuits would likely not prevail. Considering such, RICO cases should be engaged in multiple jurisdictions local, state and federal with the real intent of locking people up when and where possible and should target the hierarchy of the schemers they are going after and after a period of sustained litigation settlement in the form of fines, court costs and the like might drive the backers of such schemes to take the back door and abandon their people and their cause. Such actions would require honest jurists as well as politicians. Help from the NSA would be nice but can not be relied on given the structure of the law surrounding the release of such gathered information.
Security letters we’ve talked about in the past here and OT might be another tool.
Learning to say no would really help also. No should be no. Take California’s recent request for a declaration of emergency. I’m not sure at this point enough damage has been done to warrant federal aid, if it has treat the areas effected by ear marking the monies to just those and not provide a federal blanket of funds that can be abused.
Another fast approach would be Levin’s convention of States. Despite some opinions on the matter if you study it you’ll see that there is no chance of a runaway convention as each state can walk away any time they choose and it is the best form of redress that the constitution provides from a runaway federal government.
Along the Levin line, states and municipalities need to start reclaiming their powers where ever possible. Be it in the area of education, safety, welfare even defense, ect… Letting big government hand out the goodies to all burdens all and is the way that leftist are able to Cloward and Piven us. So yeah smaller government every where possible. Put Charities back in to practice, be discerning of who gets what aid, best done at the local level.
I said even defense. It wasn’t that long ago the Army under Obama took the Apache helicopters from the National Guard. Texas took a big hit under that. Give them back. Armed teachers and administrators is another example of how that works in defense as well as safety.
The debate about the town square and freedom of speech will have more meaning if state and local municipalities started to take up the matter. Free speech happens in the town square. Guess where the town is. It’s in a freaking town. Who controls it? Some clowns at Google, Facebook, Twitter and others. Here again local politicians and jurists could have tremendous recourse if they started to defend their citizens free speech by pursuing these behemoths in the courts at a local level. Will any hundred be able to win a case. Likely not, but if its a thousand, hey maybe they will or at least they’d be able to drive the bastards to doing the right thing rather than try to defend against so many cases being cloward and pivened against them. So lets say in this case the behemoths choose just to ignore and not defend. Answer is you fine them, site them, confiscate what you can, likely nothing, maybe something and then you slap them with nasty ordinances and fines. No google here. No twitter here, not in our town, you want that the user is going to pay for it in the form of a tax or fee or else they can choose a platform that doesn’t abridge first amendment rights to avoid the fee. So how do you begin such an endeavor, wait for a citizen to lodge a complaint? No, you do it in one of the same ways the left does it by bringing it up in your town or city council or at the local school board or in the state legislature.
Great things come out of small places.
Yep all pie in the sky ideas with out a lot of work.
The thing is though in some areas you can cloward and piven them back or at least use cloward and piven as the excuse for just saying no. No more, just as PDJT is doing on with the border and immigration.
