Time to roll out the RICO statute (organized activity from the Left; a “pattern” of attacking “just conservatives”)

The “pattern” of disenfranchising “just conservatives” and the blatant organized activity from the Left is mindful of organized crime activity.

Time to roll out RICO statute, federal law that provides criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. Beginning in 1972, 33 states adopted state RICO laws to be able to prosecute similar conduct. (NOTE: RICO was used successfully in GA to prosecute teachers).

=================================================

The meaning of racketeering is at 18 U.S.C. § 1961. As currently amended, it includes:
<><> acts of bribery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, obstruction of justice, racketeering, money laundering, offenses covered under Title 18 Criminal Code;
<><> Embezzlement of union funds;
<><>Bankruptcy fraud or securities fraud;


<><>Criminal copyright infringement;
<><>Money laundering and related offenses;
<><>Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);

==========================================

Pattern of racketeering activity requires at least two acts of racketeering activity. The USSC has instructed federal courts to follow the continuity-plus-relationship test WRT an established pattern.

Illegal acts comprising a pattern are called "predicate" offenses. Predicate acts are related if they "have the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims, or methods of commission, or otherwise interrelated and are not isolated events."

Continuity, referring to either a closed period of conduct, or to past conduct that by its nature projects into the future with a threat of repetition.

If they were conspiring to harm people based on color or religion, the Feds would possibly go after after them. Instead, they conspire to infringe on Freedom of Speech & Assembly etc. You can’t have Free Speech in 2021 if you can’t use the internet to ecxpress yourself. Seems it should be a crime.

I am of the opinion that election tampering should also be added to the list of RICO offenses.

Litigation will take years and years and then it’s dependent on a non-corrupt judge hearing the case. I’m not saying there isn’t a valid case, but the threat we face needs our immediate attention.

The RICO statute should be pressed at the Hague against SCOTUS

Last hour, the utterly corrupt SCOTUS put off ALL election cases KNOWINGLY.

Roberts (Knight of Malta): “The American babies will die for us.
The Vatican and Malta will continue to rule America to obtain them form me.
Orange man will never have a second term at all costs.
Anyone dare opposing us joins the fishes and Scalia.”

The problem is that there’s “no controlling legal authority” that will stand for the law. It’s time people quit pretending with these fantasy scenarios. The apparatus of government is not in the hands of America anymore.

Raising the specter of RICO against the Left is fair warning.

Federal law enforcement is on the dims side.

No judge wanted to hear any evidence of voter fraud/theft.

The media will never report on what actually happened.

So, here we are.

Keep in mind, Al Capone was convicted——not for his actual crimes.....but for tax evasion.

The point of RICO is that we’re NOT arguing election fraud......

Bringing a US case to the Hague for resolution under US law?

Wouldn’t that be playing right into what the NWO globalists want?
