People do not resist the robbery currently because they still have hope that life will get better eventually but in the not too distant future they will lose all hope and start fighting back with lethal force not fearing death for even that is a better future than what they have now.

Such has been the cycle of the human condition.

If you're wondering what an asset forfeiture specialist does, here\'s an example .

Russell Caswell and his family have owned and operated the $57 a night Motel Caswell since Russell Caswell's grandfather built it back in 1955. Between 1994 and 2008 there has been one heroin overdose and 14 other drug "incidents" at the motel - out of about 200,000 room rentals during that period.

Quote
...Caswell, who has been running the motel since 1983, says he has no way of knowing what his customers are doing behind closed doors. He has always cooperated with the police, calling them to report suspicious activity and offering them free rooms for surveillance and sting operations....
And what did he get for this cooperation?

Quote
...In 2009 he got his reward: a forfeiture notice. Police had never suggested additional steps he could take to discourage crime or warned him that the motel—which supports him, his mother, his wife, their son, their daughter-in-law, and their granddaughter—could be at risk.

This cruel surprise was engineered by Vincent Kelley, a forfeiture specialist at the Drug Enforcement Administration who said he read about the Motel Caswell in a news report and found that the property, which the Caswells own free and clear, had an assessed value of $1.3 million. So Kelley approached the Tewksbury Police Department with an "equitable sharing" deal: The feds would seize the property and sell it, and the cops would get up to 80 percent of the proceeds....
Yep, asset forfeiture specialist Vincent Kelley is good at his job. Wanna be like him?

Onward and upward,

That sort of thing is what I try to explain to people who think that owning real estate outright means better security. It doesn't, in fact it makes your property even more of a target for forfeiture action because it is EASIER for the legal system to seize, since they don't have to fight a well connected NY Jewish/Zionist/Mafia/Masonic/Cartel organization to grab title to the asset, just little ol you. Those are the people who can degrade the municipal bonds from that jurisdiction and screw them hard in revenge for seizing a bank owned asset. That's not even including finding out the names of everyone even remotely involved with that agency and doing things to screw their credit. Don't forget, you are talking about agents, prosecutors and other officials who have their own names all over other loan paperwork and also do their own private business that usually requires varying levels of private financing. The "banksters" can and will put them on the payback is a bitch program even if officially, they can't ding their private credit ratings for it. That's not even getting into foreign sovereign investment. That's nationally owned retirement funds and investment houses in foreign countries, the types who will have embassy and consulate staff knocking on someone's door if they take too many large dollar hits. They don't even knock on the door of the poor schmuck who had no control over the forfeiture action, they figure out quickly which decision maker's door to knock on.

The absolute best way to protect yourself on that is to get a mafia sourced loan from some shady out of state broker who will process a fixed APR type loan then sell the paper within six months to some foreign capital investment group. You then harvest cash out with equity loans whenever you do any significant improvements on the property and invest or save the cash in some means that makes a profit in excess of the interest on the loan. The longer you do that, the more the various loan brokers will buy and sell that loan paperwork and property title back and forth between each other.

What eventually happens is someone on their end fucks up a loan or title transfer which makes it impossible for anyone to clear the title on the property without settling it out entirely with cash, since so many political and legal entities would have a claim on any dispute that the Vincent Kelly's of the world look at that and know damn well they would never be able to market the asset. As a matter of fact, it even becomes exceedingly difficult for any of those financial interests to even repo the property if you just stop making the loan payments.

I learned all of that living in a neighborhood in California among lots of sue happy lawyers, many of whom were recognized as among the best in the nation at that game. Once they decide the government has not played fair on something and it personally hurt them, look the hell out, since they can and will orchestrate payback.

Asset positioning is an art form, especially when you functionally have to deal with a greedy corrupt police state. That poor hotel owner thought he was just snitching his way to friendship with the police, but that's making friends with the rattlesnake. They are not going to change their nature when it comes to pulling a million dollar profit out of a betrayal.

Y'know, if enough people have had it I'd bet those certain million dollar neighborhoods are going to see their crime rates skyrocket. I mean, yeah some crackheads stumbling in there blind in their 20 year old shitmobile's going to be intercepted even before they enter the jurisdiction but you get a work truck in there with a crew who not only know how to blend in, but also know how to get access and are more than happy to do what that takes...

Jus' sayin.
