CONSENT DECREES
US federal court terminates Republican-Democrat consent decree
…The original consent decree was adopted in 1982 after the Democratic National Committee (DNC) [political website] brought suit [complaint, PDF] against the RNC, its New Jersey affiliate and several individual officers seeking to prevent them from “engaging in activities to intimidate, threaten or coerce minority voters.” The DNC alleged that the RNC had engaged in “voter caging” [Brennan Center materials] in New Jersey, wherein mail returned as undeliverable is used as a basis for purging voting rolls….
A US federal judge on Monday terminated [order, PDF] a consent decree [text, PDF] requiring the Republican National Committee (RNC) [political website] to get court approval for any “ballot security” measures it planned to implement…
The original judge came out of retirement to renew the Consent Decree every time it was set to expire until he finally died (IRC.) The new judge was an Obama appointee. FWIW The Black Panther party was active from 1966 to 1982 BTW.
WIKI — New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case
The New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case was a political controversy in the United States concerning an incident that occurred during the 2008 election. Two weeks before George W. Bush left office, the New Black Panther Party and two of its members, Minister King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson, were sued by the Department of Justice on claims of voter intimidation for their conduct outside a polling station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Politico — Judge ends consent decree limiting RNC ‘ballot security Measures
Although the decree technically permitted the RNC to engage in some Election Day activities at the polls and to seek advance permission for so-called “ballot security” work, the national party and its attorneys went to considerable lengths in recent years to urge national party officials and staff to steer clear of such activity, in part to avoid triggering allegations that could lead the consent decree to be extended…
So for thirty-five years the Democrats could cheat to their heart’s content without a challenge from the Republicans. No wonder they have such well developed cheating organizations.
ILLEGALS & DEPORTATION
https://twitter.com/Real_RobN/status/1990127921001075073
WordPiss will not allow that tweet to show, so here is the text.
One of the greatest crimes ever perpetrated in United States history against the American people:
Former U.S. Border Chief Aaron Heitke, who served under five different administrations,
CONFIRMS— BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT — that he was ordered by the Biden–Harris administration to cover up, conceal, and manipulate data on the border crisis; to deliberately decrease the amount of detention space nationwide; to issue new Social Security numbers to illegal aliens; to provide them with maximum Social Security benefits and Medicaid; to register them to vote; and, in fact, to allow them to vote in U.S. elections.
Border Chief Aaron Heitke:
“We have no idea who or what is coming through our country.”
— Regarding SIAs:
“Special Interest Aliens (SIAs) and known and suspected terrorists… At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests. The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.”
— FENTANYL
“San Diego sees between 80% and 90% of the methamphetamine and fentanyl seizures annually for our entire country. With little enforcement at the border, these drugs were coming through in mass. During my last year in San Diego, the price for a single pill of fentanyl went from $10 to 25 cents.”
— FUNDING
“To make matters worse, during 2022 and 2023 I had to shut down San Diego traffic checkpoints—which are critical for drug interdiction—because the resources had been diverted to the process and release mission.”
— THE COVER-UP
“I had to release illegal aliens each day into communities that could not support them.
To quiet the problem, two flights a week were provided from San Diego to Texas.
Each flight cost approximately $150,000. This was the administration’s way of trying to quiet the border crisis.”
“Under pressure from the administration, my headquarters became more interested in the fiction being portrayed in the media, and not at all concerned with reality. We had 2,000 or more illegal aliens sitting between the fences, asking to turn themselves in.
I WAS TOLD TO MOVE THEM OUT OF SIGHT OF THE MEDIA.”
— CONCLUSION:
The Biden–Harris administration wasn’t just an unelected, illegitimate administration, but a terrorist organization.
Federal Judge Extends Consent Decree Prohibiting ICE From Arresting People Without Warrants or Probable Cause – National Immigrant Justice Center
October 10, 2025 – A federal judge ruled that the … officers’ ability to arrest people without warrants or probable cause, will be extended until February 2, 2026….
This is NATION WIDE BTW!
A bit of background.
Castañon Nava v. Department of Homeland Security | ACLU of Illinois

On December 1, 2021, a federal judge granted preliminary approval to a settlement agreement between our clients and the Department of Homeland Security. The judge granted final approval of the settlement agreement, making it a consent decree in February 2022.
Among other terms, the consent decree requires ICE to adopt a nationwide policy barring many vehicle stops and warrantless, “collateral” arrests, and provides us a way to advocate for ICE detainees who are arrested without warrants in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, or Kentucky to challenge detentions that violate the agreement.
In March 2025, with NIJC on behalf of ICIRR and OCAD, we filed an enforcement motion because Defendants had wrongfully arrested at least 22 class members, all Latino immigrants, in Chicago and Liberty, Missouri. We told the court that ICE agents regularly carried blank warrants and filled them out only after detaining someone. In May, we also filed a motion asking the court to extend the decree in light of repeated violations by ICE in the wake of new federal civil immigration enforcement. In September, we filed two notices of 30 more violations of the decree – warrantless arrests of Latino immigrants as part of ICE’s Operation Midway Blitz. On October 7, 2025, a federal court judge granted our motion to enforce the decree and extended the decree until February 2, 2026.
The judge’s ruling requires ICE to reissue its Broadcast Policy on Warrantless Arrests nationwide and produce any information for people arrested in the Chicagoland area since June 2025 so that we can assess if ICE violated the consent decree. The order requires ICE to meet with us about violations of the decree to resolve them, and remedies can include the release of individuals from detention….

The ACLU then calls for people to forward their complaints about ICE to them. I wonder how long the ACLU can keep ICE hogtied — Decades?
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Frequently Asked Questions
Why does ICE arrest people, and do they need a warrant?
ICE officers and agents are on the streets every day, prioritizing public safety by locating, arresting and removing criminal aliens and immigration violators from our neighborhoods.
ICE does not need judicial warrants to make arrests. Like all other law enforcement officers, ICE officers and agents can initiate consensual encounters and speak with people, briefly detain aliens when they have reasonable suspicion that the aliens are illegally present in the United States, and arrest people they believe are illegal aliens. ICE officers and agents can also detain and search people crossing the border.
All aliens who violate U.S. immigration law are subject to arrest and detention, regardless of their criminal histories. Those with final orders of removal are removed from the United States.
Do ICE officials need to show warrants to the public?
ICE law enforcement officers cannot show the warrants they are executing to people who aren’t named or involved. Often, law enforcement sensitivities and privacy concerns require officials to keep this information under wraps.
If you’re looking for specific information, you may make a Freedom of Information Act request.
There is a lot more info at that website.

8 U.S. Code § 1357 – Powers of immigration officers and employees
(a) Powers without warrant
Any officer or employee of the Service authorized under regulations prescribed by the Attorney General shall have power without warrant—
(1) to interrogate any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his right to be or to remain in the United States;
(2) to arrest any alien who in his presence or view is entering or attempting to enter the United States in violation of any law or regulation made in pursuance of law regulating the admission, exclusion, expulsion, or removal of aliens, or to arrest any alien in the United States, if he has reason to believe that the alien so arrested is in the United States in violation of any such law or regulation and is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained for his arrest, but the alien arrested shall be taken without unnecessary delay for examination before an officer of the Service having authority to examine aliens as to their right to enter or remain in the United States;

if the officer or employee is performing duties relating to the enforcement of the immigration laws at the time of the arrest and if there is a likelihood of the person escaping before a warrant can be obtained for his arrest….
There is a lot more to that law too.
I find it AMAZING how a judge can re-write a law that is passed by congress. ALSO NOTE it was the BIDEN ICE that consented to this travesty.

and
Control by the Food Cartel Companies: Profiles and Histories
Here are strategic profiles of 11 of the principal companies that constitute the Anglo-Dutch-Swiss food cartel. The profiles confirm that through multiple forms of concentration, these companies dominate grain, meat, dairy, and other food production, and the processing and distribution system of food, all the way to the supermarket. Very little food moves on the face of the earth without the food cartel having a hand in it….

A report published at the end of 2022 by The ETC Group reveals how a handful of corporations with the help of Big Tech are taking over the world’s food supply…
The findings show that many agrifood sectors are now so “top-heavy” they are controlled by just four to six dominant firms, enabling these companies to wield enormous influence over markets, agricultural research and policy development, which undermines food sovereignty…
This is the reason why billionaire technocrats, such as Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, are now among the largest owners of farmland in the United States…

DO NOT FORGET BIO-FUEL!
Remember, farm subsidies go to GRAIN farmers, not to those growing veggies and fruit.
THIS WAS THE SET-UP
Amstutz was VP of Cargill. He wrote the WTO Agreement on Ag in 1995. Even Clinton admitted that agreement lead to starvation and riots of 2008.
Amstutz then wrote the Freedom to Farm act in 1996. This law was later called the Freedom to Fail act as US farmers over produced and grain prices dropped like a rock. Grain traders used the surplus of very cheap grain to bankrupt farmers around the world. This was actually a KNOWN US policy as Clinton has just admitted.
Amstutz was also responsible for wiping out the US grain reserve system. How to fight a food crisis: To blunt the ravages of drought and market greed, we need a national grain reserve… the 1996 Freedom to Farm Act abolished our national system of holding grain in reserve.
Amstutz then went to work for Goldman Sachs. This has always puzzled me until I finally ran across the last piece of the puzzle.
That is where things get really interesting. This is stolen from WANTtoKNOW. Info: Excerpts of Key Financial News Articles in Major Media
he first articles states: Commodity Futures Trading Commission judge says colleague biased against complainants
…Painter [head of the USDA Workers Union] said Judge Bruce Levine … had a secret agreement with a former Republican chairwoman of the agency to stand in the way of investors filing complaints with the agency. “On Judge Levine’s first week on the job, nearly twenty years ago, he came into my office and stated that he had promised Wendy Gramm, then Chairwoman of the Commission, that we would never rule in a complainant’s favor,” Painter wrote. “A review of his rulings will confirm that he fulfilled his vow….
Levine had never ruled in favor of an investor. Gramm [wife of former senator Phil Gramm (R-Tex.)], was head of the CFTC just before president Bill Clinton took office. She has been criticized by Democrats for helping firms such as Goldman Sachs and Enron gain influence over the commodity [Farm Products] markets. After leaving the CFTC, she joined Enron’s board.
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/19/AR2010101907216.html
NOW we know WHY Goldman Sachs hired Dan Amstutz!
The second Article states: How Goldman gambled on starvation
This is the story of how some of the richest people in the world – Goldman, Deutsche Bank, the traders at Merrill Lynch, and more – have caused the starvation of some of the poorest people in the world. At the end of 2006, food prices across the world started to rise, suddenly and stratospherically. Within a year, the price of wheat had shot up by 80 per cent, maize by 90 per cent, rice by 320 per cent. In a global jolt of hunger, 200 million people – mostly children – couldn’t afford to get food any more, and sank into malnutrition or starvation. There were riots in more than 30 countries, and at least one government was violently overthrown. Then, in spring 2008, prices just as mysteriously fell back to their previous level. Jean Ziegler, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, calls it “a silent mass murder”, entirely due to “man-made actions.” Through the 1990s, Goldman Sachs and others lobbied hard and the regulations [controlling agricultural futures contracts] were abolished. Suddenly, these contracts were turned into “derivatives” that could be bought and sold among traders who had nothing to do with agriculture. A market in “food speculation” was born. The speculators drove the price through the roof.www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/johann-hari/johann-hari-how-goldman-gambled-on-starvation-2016088.html
Here is the real attitude of these sons of syphilitic jackals:
In summary, we have record low grain inventories globally as we move into a new crop year. We have demand growing strongly. Which means that going forward even small crop failures are going to drive grain prices to record levels. As an investor, we continue to find these long term trends…very attractive.” — Food shortfalls predicted: 2008 www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/dancy/2008/0104.html
….
Recently there have been increased calls for the development of a U.S. or international grain reserve to provide priority access to food supplies for Humanitarian needs. The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) and the North American Export Grain Association (NAEGA) strongly advise against this concept..Stock reserves have a documented depressing effect on prices… and resulted in less aggressive market bidding for the grains.” — July 22, 2008 letter to President Bush www.naega.org/images/pdf/grain_reserves_for_food_aid.pdf
Dan Amstutz was president of the North American Export Grain Association. They even named an award after the B@$t@rd!
Biofuel starvation wasn’t “unforeseen consequences”
The U.S. corn crop, accounting for 40 percent of the global harvest and supplying nearly 70 percent of the world’s corn imports…
Congress required that biofuel use increase five times…
wheat prices have tripled, corn prices doubled and rice prices nearly doubled…
…. there were real warnings about possible starvation as a consequence of the law Sarasohn refers to
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 …
To add insult to injury Congress did not even see if biofuel actually saves on the use of oil. It does not! David Pimentel, professor of ecology and agriculture at Cornell found it takes more fossil fuel to produce biofuel than is recovered:
* corn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced;
* switch grass requires 45 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced; and
* wood biomass requires 57 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.
* soybean plants requires 27 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced, and
* sunflower plants requires 118 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.
