RICO..the breaking of laws

K.E. Casey writes,
When task force investigators realized the scope of the operation, Ellison said, they contacted the Drug Enforcement Agency, which coordinated raids at houses in the 8000 block of Winchester Road, the 3500 block of Indiana Avenue and the 4200 block of Arlington Avenue in Fort Wayne.


What surprised me about these properties was there was no mortgage deduction. This tells me a few things. One that the homes are paid for or that whoever filed the paperwork did not properly do so. There is another choice that rises to the same level of criminal activity has the drug dealer. That is that some landlords have renters sign fraudulent documents to reduced the landlord property tax burden. If a landlord can get the renter to sign these documents, property that would not qualify for the mortgage deduction becomes eligible, reducing the landlord payments on his or her many properties. Often the landlord have their attorney to draft these document to give the documents a legal standing.

A Leon Higginbotham points out the fact that attorney have no problems breaking the law. Judge Higginbotham wrote an open letter to the newly appointed United State Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas, suggesting that he not be blinded by the education of his peers. In other words, Judge Higginbotham was warning that because attorneys attended prestigious schools, their values would sometime override the law of the land they studied. So Justice Thomas needed to me watchful and now in awe of his peers, he was now one of them.

As an example, Judge Higginbotham in the letter to Justice Thomas, pointed out the fact that Justice Roger Taney, who attended a little college in Kentucky, pinned the opinion in Plessy. Taney pinned an opinion that was based on tradition rather than law, and four other Justices signed this opinion who graduated from te prestigious schools of Yale and Harvard.

These Justices supported a value, a belief system ,that was not based on the writing of the Constitution but on a common understanding about a group of people. Neverteless, these scholars, the four Justices, from fine institution refused to follow the law, because of the common values they shared with Justice Taney.

So I ask these simple questions, how were these homes purchased? Bank, real estate company, rico......federal investigation...Indiana Steven Carter, where r u ? Following the paper trail...money laundering. Judge Higginbotham also stated, not in Justice Thomas letter but in other writings, that poverty can not be eradicated until a simultaneous battle against both racism and poverty. Unfortunately many folks needed to hear from Judge Higginbotham.

Sounds like Fort Wayne wants to be the big name Drug Town...money, money..Go Muncie.
