[Winged Hussar]

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > § 241 Prev | Next § 241. Conspiracy against rights If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured— They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

The "going in disguise on the highway" part probably refers to two or more night riders in sheets and hoods threatening Black people--the same constituency whom the Anointed One claims to represent--with repercussions for voting, exercising their right to free speech, and so on. In fact, a related section of the U.S. Code is known as the Ku Klux Klan Act for this exact reason. In addition,

TITLE 42 > CHAPTER 21 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 1985 Prev | Next § 1985. Conspiracy to interfere with civil rights (3) Depriving persons of rights or privileges If two or more persons in any State or Territory conspire or go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another, for the purpose of depriving, either directly or indirectly, any person or class of persons of the equal protection of the laws, or of equal privileges and immunities under the laws; or for the purpose of preventing or hindering the constituted authorities of any State or Territory from giving or securing to all persons within such State or Territory the equal protection of the laws; or if two or more persons conspire to prevent by force, intimidation, or threat, any citizen who is lawfully entitled to vote, from giving his support or advocacy in a legal manner, toward or in favor of the election of any lawfully qualified person as an elector for President or Vice President, or as a Member of Congress of the United States; or to injure any citizen in person or property on account of such support or advocacy; in any case of conspiracy set forth in this section, if one or more persons engaged therein do, or cause to be done, any act in furtherance of the object of such conspiracy, whereby another is injured in his person or property, or deprived of having and exercising any right or privilege of a citizen of the United States, the party so injured or deprived may have an action for the recovery of damages occasioned by such injury or deprivation, against any one or more of the conspirators.

Governor Blunt's press release uses the specific words "using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights," "intimidation," and "silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment." We would like any attorneys who read this to weigh in on whether, assuming that Governor Blunt's allegations are proven, this constitutes a violation of the U.S. Code as shown above.

You should also cite the equivalent USC Title 42 portions of the civil rights act which grant a right to bring civil action against these guys. Since they have attempted to intimidate all of us, I figure a class action lawsuit on behalf of all Americans. At damages of $.10 per citizen that is $30M which should pretty well bankrupt these critters.

“assuming allegations are proven”

Well, of course that’s the major assumption. It’s the difference between claiming something to be true and proving it to be true.

However, the allegation from the Gov’s statement, “abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment” if proven,presents a prima facie case.

The videos of the two Mizzou public servants who went on record about this is admissible into evidence against them. Getting them or anyone else to fess up to name others who were also part of this alleged conspiracy presents problems.

Also, it certainly would have been a stronger case if someone was actually arrested and prosecuted pursuant to the gestapo edict. It would be great to see someone from the Show Me state test it out. But it doesnt look like they would be arrested now in light of the governor’s statement.

This is JMO based on about five minutes thinking about it- my first impression.

At the very least, some hard hitting 527 ads need to be circulated bigtime to expose the audacity of the pogrom.

"... assuming that Governor Blunt's allegations are proven, this constitutes a violation of the U.S. Code as shown above."

All well and good with the exception that white folks do not have civil rights, just as they can not be the victims of hate crimes. I'm just sayin'...

How ironic that the 0bama campaign would violate something known as the Ku Klux Klan act! Imagine the 0ne and his minions acting just like the Klan.
