WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.940 Hey, Larkin Rose here, and I'm probably going to square a lot in this video. 00:03.620 --> 00:10.260 I often talk about cops since they are the enforcement thugs for the states, and they're 00:10.260 --> 00:15.660 the ones who actually threaten and carry out the violence on behalf of political parasites. 00:16.400 --> 00:20.320 And I criticize them constantly for it. I also criticize the power-happy 00:21.240 --> 00:26.620 politicians who give the orders to do evil crap and are too cowardly to go and do it themselves, 00:26.620 --> 00:32.140 so they have mindless thugs in the state do it for them. But there's an entire network, 00:32.400 --> 00:37.840 an entire machine of thuggery in between that I don't usually talk about, and I'm going to throw in 00:37.840 --> 00:46.540 a specific example here and then get to a broader point. This clown, this evil sack of shit, 00:47.440 --> 00:53.560 is Thomas Reuter, not sure how you pronounce his name, but he's an evil sack of shit. 00:54.540 --> 01:00.320 Years ago, he was a US magistrate. I think now he's like chief US magistrate or was or whatever. 01:00.900 --> 01:04.680 Anyway, he was a parasite of the system. Now, why do I say he's a sack of shit? 01:05.820 --> 01:13.060 Because he's the one who signed the piece of paper giving the IRS permission to do an armed 01:13.060 --> 01:20.940 invasion of my home in 2003. Now, search warrants happen all the time, and evil pieces of shit 01:20.940 --> 01:25.200 like Thomas Reuter rubber stamped them a lot of the time without even reading them. In fact, 01:25.320 --> 01:30.100 half the time they have their assistance rubber stamped them, but it's still his stinky name on it, 01:30.100 --> 01:36.200 so it's still his responsibility. Now, if you do a search warrant and actually have a reason to 01:36.200 --> 01:41.680 do a search warrant, okay. Now, for those who don't know, the purpose of a search warrant is if 01:41.680 --> 01:47.920 government has probable cause to believe that particular evidence of a particular crime is located 01:47.920 --> 01:53.040 in some place that isn't in public, so they're not normally allowed to go in, they can get a search 01:53.040 --> 01:58.460 warrant. So for example, if somebody says, well, I saw the guy running from the house where the 01:58.460 --> 02:02.900 person was murdered and he had a bloody knife and he like threw it in that bush over there. 02:03.380 --> 02:08.400 Well, if that bush is on private property, you could ask the owner, say, can we look 02:08.400 --> 02:12.080 in your bush? We have pretty sure that the guy threw a murder weapon in there. 02:12.740 --> 02:16.300 But if they have to, they can go to a judge and they explain, here's what we saw, 02:16.300 --> 02:19.640 here's what the witness said, here's all the reason we think we have probable cause, 02:20.080 --> 02:23.840 can you sign a warrant giving us permission to go into that particular place 02:23.840 --> 02:28.120 to look for that particular evidence of that particular crime? That's what a search warrant 02:28.120 --> 02:33.940 is for. That's what a search warrant affidavit is supposed to do, is lay out the specifics that 02:33.940 --> 02:39.600 show, yeah, we obviously have reason to believe that this particular evidence of this particular 02:39.600 --> 02:44.380 crime is going to be found in this particular place, and a neutral judge is supposed to look at it 02:44.380 --> 02:49.400 and go, hmm, yeah, that seems to add up. I will sign the thing giving you permission to do what 02:49.400 --> 02:57.100 otherwise would count as trespassing. So you might wonder, well, what was this search warrant 02:57.100 --> 03:03.040 that Thomas Ruder signed? I mean, you must have been doing something sneaky and heinous and horrible. 03:03.940 --> 03:09.260 It took me a year and a half to get the search warrant application unsealed. 03:10.180 --> 03:15.460 Again, this was many years ago. And again, anybody who wants my full book, Kicking the Dragon, 03:15.720 --> 03:21.120 Confessions of Attacks, Eritick, just email me at larkin at larkinrose.com and I'll send you 03:21.120 --> 03:25.700 the free PDF of the whole thing. And it tells the whole story, and it actually gives a bunch 03:25.700 --> 03:31.260 about their affidavit. And then my challenge to it, because I filed the thing in court saying, 03:31.380 --> 03:36.640 I want to unseal their application for search warrant, because I know they didn't have any 03:37.300 --> 03:43.020 reasonable or legal basis to do an armed invasion of my home. And they managed to keep it secret for 03:43.020 --> 03:46.880 a year and a half, even though it's a public document. Eventually I got it unsealed and I 03:46.880 --> 03:52.600 did indeed publicize it. And what everybody could then see with their own eyes was that, 03:52.720 --> 03:57.860 including me, I wasn't allowed to see it for a year and a half either, the search warrant 03:59.000 --> 04:03.800 didn't allege the existence of evidence of a crime. 04:06.640 --> 04:14.980 I cannot overstate how bonkers that is. They didn't say, here's the evidence of this 04:14.980 --> 04:19.880 crime that we're looking for at his house. Literally the search warrant was many pages 04:19.880 --> 04:25.220 of them complaining about me saying things about the tax code in public, even though they 04:25.220 --> 04:30.120 know it was legal. Talking about my website back then and my video back then and 04:31.760 --> 04:37.580 admitting that I told them I wasn't filing anymore. I went in, I asked to meet with them 04:37.580 --> 04:41.940 and told them, yeah, we still run our business. We still get paid. Here's why we're not filing. 04:42.160 --> 04:48.460 Here's why we don't think we're required to file. And the IRS said, we don't know our 04:48.460 --> 04:52.100 own position. We'll have to get back to you. And they got back to be my reading my house, 04:52.180 --> 04:57.360 which they could only do because that absolute sack of shit, Thomas Ruder, 04:57.360 --> 05:05.280 put his name on the document giving permission to a bunch of armed stupid fascist fucks 05:05.280 --> 05:13.520 to do an armed invasion of my home to look for literally no alleged evidence of a crime. 05:14.000 --> 05:18.660 Because they knew I wasn't filing. They knew about my income because I told them, 05:18.900 --> 05:22.180 they knew about our business because I told them they admitted we didn't hide anything. 05:23.660 --> 05:29.800 But the broader point here isn't just about a grudge against Thomas Ruder, which I absolutely 05:29.800 --> 05:34.880 have because you're an evil fuck you asshole and you signed off on giving them permission 05:34.880 --> 05:40.100 to do an armed invasion of my house. I hope some random person signs off on somebody doing 05:40.100 --> 05:46.420 an armed invasion of your house. You fascist fuck. You didn't read it. There was no probable 05:46.420 --> 05:51.420 cause. There was no, there was literally no evidence of a crime that they were looking for. 05:51.420 --> 05:57.440 It's just can we steal all those computers? To show what evidence of the income I already 05:57.440 --> 06:02.720 told you about, evidence of my beliefs that I already told you about and I already had. 06:03.780 --> 06:07.920 So again, the entire search warrant was just them complaining about me doing legal things in 06:07.920 --> 06:12.480 public that they didn't like and that asshole Ruder signed off on an armed invasion, 06:12.600 --> 06:17.180 which is terrorism. That's literally what it is. We're going to try to terrorize this 06:17.180 --> 06:22.160 guy into shouting out, which it didn't work either. They weren't looking for evidence. 06:22.580 --> 06:27.160 It was obvious they weren't looking for evidence of a crime. They didn't even 06:27.160 --> 06:32.280 allege any evidence. Like we think he's keeping a set of double books or nothing of the sort. 06:33.480 --> 06:38.720 Nothing about anything hidden and Ruder signed off on it. But here's the thing. Oh, 06:38.740 --> 06:41.640 and then I challenged it in the first time around. I challenged it in court, 06:41.640 --> 06:48.020 but the courts ruled that no, they didn't obviously violate your constitutional rights. 06:48.160 --> 06:54.080 Guess who ruled that? Thomas Ruder, the same fucking piece of shit who signed the warrant. 06:54.280 --> 06:58.640 You have no conflict of interest there. Oh, you mean the warrant that you signed, 06:58.880 --> 07:03.860 you decided that that was okay for you to sign it? You know, talk about we investigated 07:03.860 --> 07:09.200 ourselves and found no wrongdoing. You evil sack of shit. You can get all the details 07:09.200 --> 07:13.940 in kicking the dragon if you want the ridiculous details. So yeah, for eight hours, 07:14.080 --> 07:18.400 I was in my living room while they were rummaging around in my house and stealing all my stuff 07:18.400 --> 07:23.260 and stealing every copy they could find of a perfectly legal video I made called theft by 07:23.260 --> 07:29.620 deception, which Ruder signed off on the search warrant specifically said every copy they could 07:29.620 --> 07:34.300 find of my video, which is absolutely illegal. Absolute violation of the First Amendment 07:34.300 --> 07:37.760 and that sack of shit didn't care. Now, maybe he didn't read it at all and just had 07:37.760 --> 07:42.980 an assistant rubber stamp and armed invasion of someone's house that makes you an evil piece of 07:42.980 --> 07:49.140 shit. Now, when I reported this because of course, I'm going to publicly talk about this when this 07:49.140 --> 07:54.840 happens. Apparently, well, at least they say this, they may be making it up, but apparently someone 07:54.840 --> 08:01.320 sent Ruder a threatening letter. Good, you fascist fuck, wasn't me. I don't know who was. I don't 08:01.320 --> 08:06.120 know if it really happened or if they just made it up. So one day, US Marshals show up at my 08:06.120 --> 08:13.040 house and I go out and, yeah, and I'm in the doorway. Literally first thing they say is, 08:13.200 --> 08:19.500 we're not with the IRS. It's like, okay, weird introduction. It's like, well, he got some 08:19.500 --> 08:26.680 threatening letter or something. I was like, okay, wasn't for me. I didn't tell anybody to do that. 08:27.320 --> 08:34.560 Well, we know we're just literally, he sent them there to terrorize me because somebody I 08:34.560 --> 08:42.980 don't even know supposedly threatened him. Okay, that's also illegal because they admitted I didn't 08:42.980 --> 08:49.260 do anything wrong. So you're coming to try to teach me a lesson for not doing anything illegal, 08:49.260 --> 08:54.000 which they admitted I hadn't done anything illegal, hadn't encouraged anybody else to do anything 08:54.000 --> 09:01.700 illegal. So, and you can tell, I mean, the Marshals were, I mean, fairly professional as much as 09:01.700 --> 09:06.740 thugs of the state can be. They were almost like apologetic because they weren't like, 09:06.880 --> 09:13.020 you're in big trouble. You could tell that they were just the thugs of the asshole judiciary 09:13.020 --> 09:17.120 because that's one of the things US Marshals do. And they were there to intimidate me for 09:17.120 --> 09:20.960 something that was perfectly legal and they admitted was perfectly legal and was perfectly 09:20.960 --> 09:25.480 true. I literally just reported what happened and apparently somebody threatened. And the 09:25.480 --> 09:29.620 thing is they call all sorts of things threats that aren't. I never saw what the letter was 09:29.620 --> 09:35.940 or what anybody supposedly said. But so he sends his thugs, Ruter sends the thugs in the 09:35.940 --> 09:40.700 form of US Marshals to chat. He silenced me and didn't make any difference. I just said, 09:40.760 --> 09:44.820 yeah, I didn't do anything wrong and I'm not going to shut up. And eventually they're just like, 09:44.920 --> 09:49.240 okay, well, we just wanted to let you know, you know, if let me know shit, like I know the 09:49.240 --> 09:52.260 law, I didn't break the law, you know, I didn't break the law, what the fuck are you doing 09:52.260 --> 09:58.820 on my property? And so they left. That wasn't all that confrontational because, you know, 09:58.820 --> 10:04.440 we're just doing our job being mafia thugs trying to intimidate and terrorize you 10:04.440 --> 10:09.300 for literally telling the truth about this power happy sack of shit who signed off on 10:09.300 --> 10:15.280 an armed invasion of your home that terrorized you, your wife, and your young child. Yeah, 10:15.300 --> 10:20.500 go fuck yourself, Thomas Ruter, you absolute sack of shit. But here's the broader point. 10:21.020 --> 10:27.920 We can move on from that. How many people involved in this system, like search warrants 10:27.920 --> 10:33.560 as one arrest warrants as one. There's a zillion different things, tax collections. Another example 10:33.560 --> 10:38.460 is where like somebody doesn't pay their property taxes and the township assholes send letters and 10:38.460 --> 10:42.200 then threats and then do a lien and eventually the sheriff will come to evict you from your house 10:42.200 --> 10:47.560 because you didn't pay the extortion racket to fund shitty schools that you would never 10:47.560 --> 10:53.460 send your kids doing a thousand years. There's so many different operations that the government 10:53.460 --> 10:59.940 does and nobody involved claims responsibility for it. Like I'm sure Thomas Ruter, evil sack of 10:59.940 --> 11:05.280 shit that he is, was just like, oh, well, I got the application and I looked over it and then I 11:05.280 --> 11:12.280 signed my name. He didn't think, wow, I'm sending or I am personally doing something without which 11:12.280 --> 11:18.900 they can't do anything. I am personally authorizing an armed invasion of somebody's home either 11:18.900 --> 11:24.980 without reading this or he did read it and go they didn't even say any evidence they were looking 11:24.980 --> 11:30.360 for. This is just retaliation for saying things they don't like, which the warrant made really 11:30.360 --> 11:35.720 damn obvious. I mean, they did a bad job of hiding it. Normally they can spin it into 11:35.720 --> 11:40.800 something else, but I'm sure he's just like, oh, well, we get lots of warrant applications 11:40.800 --> 11:45.100 and we just review it or maybe I have my assistant review it and rubber stamp my name on it. 11:45.660 --> 11:50.060 So all these people involved in all these evil things, whether they're legal, 11:50.260 --> 11:55.740 evil or illegal, evil, my case was absolutely illegal, evil, absolutely an illegal raid. 11:57.540 --> 12:03.840 All the people involved pretend it's not my responsibility. I'm just following orders. 12:04.060 --> 12:09.780 I'm just doing my job says the actual stupid violent thug. In fact, while sitting in my living 12:09.780 --> 12:14.500 room for eight hours, while these dumb ass Nazis were rummaging around stealing all my computers, 12:14.500 --> 12:18.980 I asked a few of them. I was none too polite about it. I asked a few of them. 12:19.120 --> 12:24.000 Do you even have any idea what the warrant was about or what I'm accused of or what you're 12:24.000 --> 12:30.960 looking for? And literally none of them did. Not just, well, they weren't going to talk to me. 12:31.560 --> 12:35.640 I was like, do you even know what the issue was? Do you even know the facts of the case? 12:36.280 --> 12:38.920 Do you know that they admitted I didn't hide anything? 12:38.920 --> 12:45.580 In what, like, do any of you, did any of you, before doing an armed invasion of somebody's home, 12:45.880 --> 12:50.600 bother to find out why the fuck you were doing that? No, because they're cowardly stupid fucks. 12:51.380 --> 12:56.400 Just like Thomas Ruder is a cowardly stupid fuck for signing off on that happening to me. 12:56.940 --> 13:01.040 Just like all the other paper pushers involved with all the ways in which 13:01.040 --> 13:06.200 governments rob and harass and terrorize nonviolent people, all of them pretend, 13:06.760 --> 13:13.420 I'm not responsible, including the lawmakers, the people who vote on the legislative bullshit. 13:14.120 --> 13:18.280 Well, I was just one of the people who voted on this bill that had a bunch of different things. 13:18.420 --> 13:21.660 I don't really know what's in the bill. And then it goes to somebody else. Well, 13:21.740 --> 13:25.940 it's not up to us to decide whether it's moral or just doing our job. We're just following orders. 13:27.440 --> 13:31.380 I mentioned before the movie, The Final Days of Sophie Shull, 13:31.380 --> 13:36.020 or I think it's called Sophie Shull, The Final Days. I got it slightly backwards last time, 13:38.120 --> 13:43.380 which gives a very accurate and thoroughly documented version of what happened to some 13:43.380 --> 13:48.980 of the members of the White Rose, a resistance group in Nazi Germany who were speaking out, 13:49.200 --> 13:54.240 well, quietly, they were writing, handing out pamphlets secretly because you couldn't do that 13:54.240 --> 13:58.900 in public. And they got found out and they got their heads chopped off. These were like college 13:58.900 --> 14:06.740 kids. But the thing about the movie about Sophie Shull that is so disturbing to me is that instead 14:06.740 --> 14:11.460 of, I said this before, instead of doing the cartoon version of Nazis, they showed, these were 14:11.460 --> 14:19.420 just idiot bureaucrats doing their job. Thomas Ruder would absolutely have done the job of 14:19.420 --> 14:23.880 that bureaucratic asshole pushing papers around, well, if you'll just confess and we'll just 14:23.880 --> 14:28.360 fill out these forms and shit, I'm just a cog in the wheel. I don't think about what I do. 14:28.360 --> 14:33.340 I'm not responsible for what I do, even if it's to specifically and personally 14:33.340 --> 14:38.300 authorize an armed invasion of somebody's home because he said some legal stuff, 14:39.920 --> 14:49.720 evil shit. But that movie so accurately and disturbingly depicts how this machine of violence 14:49.720 --> 14:55.300 and oppression and extortion and domination consists of a bunch of idiot cogs in a wheel 14:55.300 --> 15:01.420 who don't think about anything. They have no moral principles. They don't actually question 15:01.420 --> 15:07.840 anything they're doing. They just mindlessly act as little pieces of a giant evil machine, 15:08.760 --> 15:15.740 whether it's Thomas Ruder signing the warrant, whether it's CID IRS agent Donald Perlman who 15:15.740 --> 15:22.280 filed that application, you evil Nazi fuck, where he wrote out the whole thing. And he had 15:22.280 --> 15:27.740 to sort of notice, we didn't actually mention any evidence we're looking for. We just said, 15:27.740 --> 15:33.140 let's steal all those computers. We'll list some crimes and say, well, any evidence of them 15:33.840 --> 15:39.280 of tax evasion and this and that, just any evidence of anything, like what? 15:40.340 --> 15:44.940 That you knew all the information. So all the people involved in the entire thing, 15:44.960 --> 15:49.020 including all the dumbasses who were there with him to rummage around steel shit, 15:49.660 --> 15:56.000 looking big and bad, being fascist fucks, everybody in the entire operation. And then it goes to the 15:56.000 --> 16:03.440 DOJ and the prosecutors, they are Floyd Miller, Sean Noud, you evil Nazi fucks whose job was 16:03.440 --> 16:07.360 literally to cover up all the evidence they possibly could to make sure the jury couldn't 16:07.360 --> 16:13.520 hear anything about what I actually believed. Evil shits. All of them take the viewpoint of, 16:13.640 --> 16:18.460 well, I'm just doing my job. It's my job to try to prosecute you. And even the Supreme 16:18.460 --> 16:24.860 Court says, like it's the job of the federal prosecutor as much to secure convictions of those 16:24.860 --> 16:30.720 guilty. It's just as much as job to make sure the innocent aren't prosecuted. What a fucking joke 16:30.720 --> 16:35.420 that is. I don't think the Supreme Court has ever met the Department of Justice, apparently. 16:36.000 --> 16:38.820 They're just throwing out their bullshit to try to sound legitimate. 16:40.140 --> 16:44.560 But a number of layer of courts, because there were filings back and forth, 16:45.320 --> 16:51.140 Michael Baleson, the judge who oversaw my case, lied and cheated his ass off, got everything wrong 16:51.140 --> 16:56.480 about the law, suppressed all the evidence he possibly could. He just acted as another 16:56.480 --> 17:04.100 prosecutor during the trial. But all these evil shits who all act to increase and maintain 17:04.100 --> 17:09.760 their own power and the power of the people above them, all of them think inside their own 17:09.760 --> 17:16.720 heads, well, it wasn't my idea. I'm just doing my part of it. It's my job. And the thing is, 17:16.740 --> 17:22.180 that's the same. It's just a more organized version of a lynch mob. We're like, well, 17:22.240 --> 17:27.280 we all got super angry. And then something really bad happened to somebody. And I didn't do it. And 17:27.280 --> 17:31.520 he might have tied the rope, but I didn't hang him. I just hung up the rope. Well, I just, 17:31.620 --> 17:36.520 I only did this. I just did this because somebody else told me to. Well, the crowd was all the 17:36.520 --> 17:40.120 cowardice and the evasion of personal responsibility. 17:41.760 --> 17:48.240 I want to hear Thomas Reuter stand out and say, yes, I personally felt morally justified 17:49.040 --> 17:55.100 in instructing a bunch of armed people to do an invasion of your home, a surprise 17:55.100 --> 17:59.840 invasion of your home first thing in the morning, because you were saying things 17:59.840 --> 18:03.560 that the government didn't want you saying, even though they admitted they were all 18:03.560 --> 18:09.940 perfectly legal things. There's nothing illegal about any of it. I myself, Thomas Reuter, feel 18:09.940 --> 18:15.880 justified having given permission for this gang of thugs to do a violent surprise armed invasion 18:15.880 --> 18:21.720 of your home. He would never say that. That's what he did. But he would never say that. 18:22.220 --> 18:28.500 He would never even think that because all the cogs in the wheel of the machine 18:29.060 --> 18:35.800 have to lie to themselves. They have to pretend that, well, I'm not responsible. I just have this job 18:35.800 --> 18:40.400 and if a case is in front of me or an application for a search warrant, I just read this and do this 18:40.400 --> 18:45.100 and stamp it and maybe I didn't really read it. Maybe I had my assistant read it and I didn't 18:45.100 --> 18:49.000 really look at it or I just skimmed over it because I was busy and had to go to dinner and 18:49.640 --> 18:55.800 whatever. So don't blame me. Everyone in the whole machine claims don't blame me. 18:56.520 --> 19:03.560 And Sophie Shull, the final days, does such a good job of showing the horrors that result 19:04.520 --> 19:10.040 from a bunch of individuals doing their little part in a big picture of authoritarian bullshit 19:10.040 --> 19:16.240 and none of them imagining that they're actually the ones responsible. Top to bottom, 19:16.240 --> 19:26.180 none of them admit that they're responsible. And that it's weird because it's that sort of 19:26.180 --> 19:32.300 makes it so you feel bad targeting any of them. Like if one person, if there was a gang of thugs, 19:32.860 --> 19:37.080 just some street gang and they decided to barge in my house, first thing in the morning, 19:37.300 --> 19:42.940 or I'm to steal all my stuff, like I would shoot them and everybody would go, I'll 19:42.940 --> 19:49.540 get for you. That was weird. And if there's the guy who said, all right, all right, guys, 19:49.740 --> 19:54.920 here's the house we're going to break into and steal whatever we can find. And I shot that guy. 19:55.260 --> 19:59.480 Well, you gave the order for your gang of idiots, all of them to blame or to blame too, 19:59.520 --> 20:04.960 because they all followed your order. You evil shit. So they all deserve bullets in their heads. 20:05.800 --> 20:10.360 But especially the guy who gave the order, everybody would go, well, yeah, he fucking 20:10.360 --> 20:14.920 deserved it. He like led his gang to do an armed invasion of your home with no good. 20:15.580 --> 20:19.920 How many people, and I'm not even, I wouldn't do this, obviously I didn't do this, 20:20.060 --> 20:25.240 not going to do this, and it wouldn't do any good. But how many people can even think about, 20:25.740 --> 20:32.260 wait a minute, the guy who put his name on the thing authorizing this absolutely illegal 20:32.260 --> 20:39.440 vindictive terrorist violent invasion of somebody's home should nothing happen to him? 20:40.180 --> 20:46.960 Because by the way, that's built into the legal system that nothing judges do while on the bench 20:46.960 --> 20:55.640 officially nothing they can be punished for ever, no matter how evil it is. So all your recourses 20:55.640 --> 21:00.440 is after the fact going, Hey, you weren't supposed to do that. I'm going to ask some other judge 21:01.220 --> 21:06.420 to say you weren't supposed to do that. And of course, he's going to be your buddy. Or in this 21:06.420 --> 21:11.120 case, he's literally going to be you. Because Ruder was also the one who took the motion, 21:11.580 --> 21:15.080 the motion to dismiss the search warrant or to throw out the search warrant as 21:16.240 --> 21:21.200 illegal is like, No, I don't think it was that bad. Yeah, because to say it was that bad, 21:21.400 --> 21:26.080 you would have to say that you signed an illegal warrant. So of course, he's going to say no, 21:26.080 --> 21:33.360 it's okay. And all of these cogs in the machine, every one of them feels insulated by the fact 21:33.360 --> 21:39.320 that it wasn't my decision, I just did my little part. And all of them know full well, 21:39.480 --> 21:43.500 the machine that they're part of this big authoritarian monstrosity, it's not really 21:43.500 --> 21:49.500 going to punish any of them. Like the worst that would happen to the fascist Fox who invaded 21:49.500 --> 21:55.720 my home would be Oh, later on, a judge said that yeah, that wasn't really a good warrant. 21:55.840 --> 22:00.900 And so you can't use the evidence at trial. Well, really, that's the punishment. 22:01.700 --> 22:07.420 For doing an armed invasion of somebody's home for saying some stuff, some perfectly legal stuff 22:08.100 --> 22:14.440 is you can't use it at trial. So nothing else happens to them. And they feel perfectly 22:14.440 --> 22:18.520 insulated from any repercussion because they know the system they're a part of 22:18.520 --> 22:22.040 is not going to punish them. And the only time they are going to be punished 22:22.500 --> 22:25.920 is when things get to the point where the people say we're tired of this shit, 22:26.320 --> 22:31.760 we're not asking you anymore, we're coming after the people who did this and their bosses 22:31.760 --> 22:37.040 and the people who signed off on it and the people who legislated it. And that's what's happened 22:37.040 --> 22:42.240 over and over again, all the revolutions throughout history is when people get so abused, 22:42.240 --> 22:46.460 that suddenly they go Well, now we just have to like go slaughter these evil bastards, 22:46.960 --> 22:53.300 because there's no disincentive without that. Like what happened to Thomas Ruder as a result of 22:53.300 --> 22:59.700 obviously signing an illegal warrant, just obviously unquestionably, the warrant didn't 22:59.700 --> 23:06.180 even allege the existence of any particular evidence of a crime. Nothing except years later, 23:06.220 --> 23:12.900 somebody would make a video this calling the fascist fuck. Oh, apparently, he got a threatening 23:12.900 --> 23:17.440 letter, which you fucking deserve you evil shit. I don't even know if he really got a letter. 23:18.080 --> 23:22.340 But they pretended it was or if he got a letter, I'm not even sure it was actually threatening. 23:23.300 --> 23:28.740 I think I did tell people to write to him and say you really like signed off nice. I 23:28.740 --> 23:33.880 specifically said I think I told this to the US Marshals, I specifically said don't threaten him 23:33.880 --> 23:39.420 and stuff. But let him know what you think about a judge who would rubber stamp an armed 23:39.420 --> 23:43.560 invasion of someone's home because that person said some stuff the government didn't like. 23:43.860 --> 23:52.100 You know, complete Nazi style, which the warrant obviously showed. So I don't know what threat 23:52.100 --> 23:56.900 actually happened. And I don't know if like, it was just, oh, they said they didn't like it, 23:56.940 --> 24:00.680 that counts as a threat. So I'm going to send my armed goons to your house to try to intimidate 24:00.680 --> 24:06.900 you. Go fuck yourself, Thomas Ruder, you evil sack of shit. Meanwhile, he has this life where 24:06.900 --> 24:13.540 oh, he's had this prestigious career. He's an evil sack of shit. And there were no negative repercussions. 24:13.960 --> 24:20.460 This is why revolutions happen because the assholes in power get paid to be in power. 24:21.120 --> 24:27.680 They get paid to abuse people. They get promoted for abusing people. It's true at the DOJ. It's 24:27.680 --> 24:33.320 true at the IRS. It's true in the judiciary. If you empower the ruling class, the ruling 24:33.320 --> 24:39.100 class rewards you. If you victimize the people, nothing happens to you until the people get so 24:39.100 --> 24:44.300 fricking desperate. They just start fucking killing you. And over and over again, that's been the 24:44.300 --> 24:49.520 pattern. Now, I'm not saying go kill these people because it wouldn't really happen. 24:50.400 --> 24:54.540 I mean, it wouldn't, it wouldn't really happen. Probably wouldn't really happen. 24:54.760 --> 25:00.860 It wouldn't really help until the people understand that this is all authoritarian bullshit. 25:00.860 --> 25:04.760 None of us have an obligation to put up with any of it. And when you get to that point, 25:04.880 --> 25:08.840 you don't even have to like have a revolution and violently overthrow anything. You just 25:08.840 --> 25:14.000 disobey the amount of existence. And as long as it's a minority of the population who says this 25:14.000 --> 25:19.540 is bullshit, well, then they have enough thugs to send in their thugs and make an example of 25:19.540 --> 25:25.920 anybody who would resist. But the number of people whose lives have been ruined by, you know, 25:25.920 --> 25:31.600 caught lying about something or getting something wrong or whoops, we got the wrong address and 25:31.600 --> 25:36.840 we kicked in somebody's door and shot them or shot their dog or something. Oh, whoops, so sorry. 25:37.200 --> 25:40.340 Well, we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong. Really, you didn't armed 25:40.340 --> 25:48.440 invasion and killed somebody. And well, you got paid leave for a couple months. Or you're an 25:48.440 --> 25:54.250 evil judge who sits around and rubber stamps, violent invasions of people's homes who weren't 25:54.250 --> 26:00.870 even accused of violence or fraud or any actual crime or any threat to anybody. 26:01.290 --> 26:05.630 Just, hey, you had some opinions government didn't like. So I'm going to rubber stamp 26:05.630 --> 26:09.870 an armed invasion in your house. Thanks, Thomas Ruder, you evil sack of shit. 26:11.890 --> 26:17.630 So that is the weird dilemma that we find ourselves in precisely because all the 26:17.630 --> 26:22.750 people in the machine, because they believe in authority to none of them think they're 26:22.750 --> 26:27.730 personally responsible for their actions. They all hide behind, well, I just do my part in 26:27.730 --> 26:33.050 this thing. I have this narrow little vision. And yeah, I fudge things even inside my part 26:33.050 --> 26:38.350 and break the law even inside my part, which Ruder did and Agent Perlman did and Floyd 26:38.350 --> 26:43.170 Miller, the prosecutor did and Judge Baleson absolutely did. They all broke the law 26:43.690 --> 26:49.850 on their own independently too, which of course they knew they wouldn't be punished for. 26:50.870 --> 26:55.370 But you had this giant machine and it's one of the more, it's a thing I don't mention 26:55.370 --> 26:59.330 very often, but one of the most destructive aspects of the belief in authority 27:00.050 --> 27:04.330 isn't just that the victims cheer for it or cooperate with it because they imagine 27:04.330 --> 27:10.570 an obligation to do so. It's that the perpetrators feel no responsibility for 27:10.570 --> 27:15.310 what they do because they imagine, well, I'm just acting on behalf of the law and 27:15.310 --> 27:21.990 on behalf of authority. So you can't blame me for whatever I actually did if I put my 27:21.990 --> 27:27.230 name on the document telling people to go to an armed invasion of somebody's home. 27:27.530 --> 27:31.570 And it turns out it was just because he had some opinions the government didn't 27:31.570 --> 27:37.710 like, well, admitting there's nothing illegal about them. Oh, oops. Well, I'm not 27:37.710 --> 27:41.790 really, you can't prosecute me or really blame me. I'm just, I just do my job 27:41.790 --> 27:46.670 and maybe mistakes were made and maybe we just, I should have reviewed it more 27:46.670 --> 27:52.090 carefully and blah, blah, blah, all these fucking cowards. Everyone in the 27:52.090 --> 27:57.070 government is an absolute fucking coward because none of them take personal 27:57.070 --> 28:01.670 responsibility for their actions. They all hide behind the bullshit of 28:01.670 --> 28:08.630 excuse of authority and law. And it's why over and over again in history, it 28:08.630 --> 28:12.210 gets worse, it gets worse, it gets worse. And then people break out the guillotines 28:12.710 --> 28:15.930 because they're like, we're tired of this shit and you assholes are never going to 28:15.930 --> 28:20.430 do anything to yourselves. You're never going to punish yourselves. Voting isn't 28:20.430 --> 28:23.890 doing shit. Petitioning isn't doing shit. It's time to kill you fuckers. 28:25.630 --> 28:28.570 And when it comes to that when somebody gets so desperate 28:29.230 --> 28:33.010 that they actually like lash out forcibly against thugs of the state, 28:33.010 --> 28:37.290 thugs of the state go into this whiny little, oh, we're the victim. 28:38.110 --> 28:42.790 Just because on a daily basis, we harass and terrorize and extort and 28:42.790 --> 28:46.430 kidnap and assault people who didn't threaten or harm anybody. 28:47.030 --> 28:51.170 But, but we're just doing the law. We're just following orders. And then that 28:51.170 --> 28:57.550 person resisted. Boo friggin' who? And so many of these stupid fucking cops 28:57.550 --> 29:00.850 who think, oh, the worst thing in the world is somebody shooting a cop. 29:00.850 --> 29:06.790 No, it's not. There are a hell of a lot of cops. You can do a search on YouTube 29:07.270 --> 29:12.130 who on video have done things which absolutely would have justified someone 29:12.130 --> 29:18.750 blowing their fucking fascist heads off. Absolutely. Doesn't mean it would have 29:18.750 --> 29:22.490 done any good if the person had resisted that way. It would have gone really 29:22.490 --> 29:26.690 bad for the person resisting. So on a practical basis, yep, not a great move. 29:27.390 --> 29:31.630 Not going to end well. But the idea that the cops 29:31.630 --> 29:36.630 are the most abused fucking Trump, mango Mussolini, the police are the most 29:36.630 --> 29:41.010 mischeated and abused people. He said something like almost exactly like that. 29:41.490 --> 29:49.090 Almost verbatim. It's like, oh, you poor thugs of the state. You violate people's freedom 29:49.090 --> 29:54.850 on a daily basis. And they say mean things about you and every once in a blue moon, 29:54.850 --> 30:02.830 one of them resists while you're shooting their dog. So it's so sad and pathetic and 30:02.830 --> 30:09.650 infuriating that the belief in authority makes agents of authority imagine that they have 30:09.650 --> 30:16.150 no responsibility for the evil that they personally commit, whether it's signing off on an evil 30:16.150 --> 30:20.890 invasion of somebody's home or actually doing an invasion of somebody's home without doing 30:20.890 --> 30:25.690 any homework. Like, why am I doing an armed invasion into somebody's living room first thing in the morning? 30:26.190 --> 30:30.770 Like, yeah, there are some cases in which that's justified. If somebody's really, 30:30.790 --> 30:35.730 really bad, we have lots of evidence showing this is a horrible person, we have to go get them. 30:36.570 --> 30:41.790 But if it's, oh, he has a website the government doesn't like, it's perfectly legal. 30:42.310 --> 30:47.130 But we really don't like it. He has a video and he's done like interviews on the radio 30:47.130 --> 30:51.490 and we don't like what he's saying. Let's do an armed invasion of his own. In short, 30:51.610 --> 30:57.970 that was literally the search warrant. And all of the stupid fucks involved in that raid, 30:58.470 --> 31:04.790 like that's a tiny minimal example. Like it's kind of trivial compared to a lot of things that have 31:04.790 --> 31:09.290 happened to a lot of people where people were shot and killed and stuff. They just, that 31:09.290 --> 31:16.670 wasn't even an arrest warrant. They were just there to rummage, rummage around, steal a whole 31:16.670 --> 31:24.150 of my mind. So that's kind of trivial. Like I never felt like I was really in danger. They didn't, 31:24.150 --> 31:27.730 they didn't let me, I think, did they steal my phone or did I not have my phone? I forget, 31:27.810 --> 31:31.710 I couldn't call out for eight hours. So I was just in there with them till I finally came out. 31:33.590 --> 31:39.530 But that was historically speaking, like, yeah, in my lifetime getting raided by feds, 31:39.530 --> 31:44.090 it's not exactly a high point. But historically speaking, that's pretty mild compared to what 31:44.590 --> 31:49.630 has happened to a lot of critics of a lot of regimes. So I consider myself lucky to be in a 31:49.630 --> 31:55.870 place where they don't just fucking kill me. Nonetheless, all the people involved are not 31:55.870 --> 32:02.210 only evil shits and pawns of the monstrous atrocity known as government, but all of 32:02.210 --> 32:07.430 them imagine that they have no personal responsibility. And then when the day comes, 32:07.450 --> 32:12.970 when somebody says, fuck you, you did this evil thing to me, I'm hunting your ass down, 32:14.090 --> 32:19.950 they go, I'm the victim here. No, you're fucking not. And morality didn't change just because you 32:19.950 --> 32:25.510 were following orders. I mean, that's literally what the Nuremberg trials were about. Nazis did 32:25.510 --> 32:29.150 evil shit and say, well, we were just doing as we were told, we were just following orders. 32:29.530 --> 32:34.930 And at that trial, they said, well, that's not good enough. And literally every agent of government, 32:35.710 --> 32:40.250 every single time they victimize nonviolent people, that is still their excuse, 32:40.250 --> 32:45.470 the Nuremberg excuse. Well, I'm just doing my job. I just signed this thing. I just pushed 32:45.470 --> 32:49.770 these papers around. I just do that. I just did this paperwork. I just was there for the rate. 32:49.950 --> 32:52.650 I'm just an accountant for the IRS. I just blah, blah, blah, blah. 32:54.570 --> 32:58.890 If you do something that without the badge, without the costume, without the legislation 32:58.890 --> 33:03.950 would have earned you a bullet in your head, then you still deserve a bullet in your head 33:03.950 --> 33:10.690 if you have a badge and a costume and legislation. Because none of that shit alters morality. 33:11.330 --> 33:17.250 The thing is, they believe the bullshit too. They believe the authoritarian bullshit they were taught 33:17.250 --> 33:22.430 to. They really and truly don't think they are responsible for their own actions, which is why 33:22.430 --> 33:27.850 they're all shocked and horrified that somebody would ever like lift a finger against one of the 33:27.850 --> 33:34.230 king's guards. All I was doing is brutally abusing this nonviolent person and he pulled a gun. 33:36.730 --> 33:41.830 And that's why I focus on the belief and authority. It's not that government is full of 33:41.830 --> 33:48.290 like genuinely individual evil people who on their own decided to go out and do evil stuff. 33:49.050 --> 33:55.430 It's their intellectual cowards who believe the bullshit they were taught about authority 33:55.430 --> 34:01.830 and go victimize people because it's their job, because it's the law. They're just following orders. 34:02.630 --> 34:09.190 They're a respectable US magistrate. So when they sign permission to do an armed invasion of 34:09.190 --> 34:14.530 somebody's house, well, that's perfectly legitimate. Yeah, maybe it was slightly 34:15.270 --> 34:21.010 legally improper or completely unconstitutional. But whatever, I'm just doing my job. It's 34:21.010 --> 34:26.390 not as if I told a bunch of armed people to invade your house. Yes, it is Thomas Reuter, 34:26.570 --> 34:33.630 you evil fuck. It is exactly that. But you're too indoctrinated into statism to recognize 34:33.630 --> 34:40.950 reality, which makes you not only an agent of evil, but a fucking coward along with everyone else 34:40.950 --> 34:49.870 in the judiciary, in the police force, in the the everything in between DOJ court system, 34:49.870 --> 34:56.110 all of it. And all of them pretend that well, as long as I'm just doing the thing I was told, 34:56.210 --> 35:01.790 I'm not responsible. And the end result is none of them think that anybody is responsible 35:02.270 --> 35:08.410 when innocent people are victimized by the state, which is constantly. And historically, 35:09.050 --> 35:12.750 you can see I'm just describing it. I'm not saying that would even do any good now, 35:12.910 --> 35:18.750 like a revolution. A revolution doesn't do any good. If most people are still status, 35:18.750 --> 35:23.350 they just put up a new state. And a revolution isn't necessary when people stop being status, 35:23.730 --> 35:28.090 because they can just ignore it out of existence. Sometimes they may have to disobey and resist 35:28.090 --> 35:34.350 by force when the thugs get brutal about it. But I'm not even saying a revolution would do any 35:34.350 --> 35:40.330 good or should happen now. I'm saying revolutions happen precisely because everyone in government 35:40.330 --> 35:46.190 is a giant fucking coward. And they will victimize innocence because they were told to while 35:46.190 --> 35:51.710 imagining that they have no responsibility for their actions. And if you didn't already know that, 35:51.770 --> 35:56.630 and if you're not already familiar with it, I highly recommend the book by Stanley Milgram 35:57.460 --> 36:04.410 called Obedience to Authority. If you want to see why the belief in authority really is 36:04.410 --> 36:12.070 the most dangerous superstition that has ever plagued the human race, then read his study 36:12.070 --> 36:15.770 on Obedience to Authority. And then read my book, The Most Dangerous Superstition. 36:17.030 --> 36:22.970 Yee-haw. Alright, I guess that's enough of that rant. I'll just throw in Thomas Rooter, 36:23.090 --> 36:24.050 You're an Evil Fuck.
