I believe your post is accurate. I've seen the same basic trends in Hawaii. Watched a few bug friends try to extricate from the system. One just got 8 years on trumped up fed charges. Why? Why does a law abiding citizen get more time than a murderer? Cause he basically lived as your friend in the van but made the mistake of vocally advocating such behavior. He went through 3 trials over the last 20 years then lost on the 3rd attempt by the feds to corral him. The fed has unlimited funds/manpower. They will keep going till you run out of attorney money or they finally get in front of a judge that wants to enforce the nazi vision no matter what. There are more and more judges like that all the time. The feds don't care if we shoot each other up. Just don't take verbal aim at the fed.

The full weight of the legal system will bankrupt just about anyone. Once the digi-money/chip is in full force, gold will be a store of value but cease any monetary value. Anyone carrying over 10k cash is subject to detention, pending explanation. Anyone really think drug trade is the reason...or is it the excuse? Now the viper squads are moving into bus stations, trains, subways, etc. To protect us from what? Personally, I don't worry about terrorism. I do get nervous when I see black shirted freaks on steroids armed to the teeth walking around public areas for no good reason other than to intimidate people. Recently we had one of Hawaii's finest run down a 64 yr. old Japanese lady in a crosswalk in the middle of the day in front of a church. He wasn't even cited. The irony? The officer in question is our Traffic Enforcement Cop for this district! As they say, "Don't try this at home kids!" I don't think J6P gets the same break, do you?

The parallels between this book and the USA today are too numerous to note.
