SWAT team busts into house over student loan default

Posted on 06.8.11
By Sahil Kapur

Acting on orders from the U.S. Department of Education, a S.W.A.T. team broke into a California home Tuesday at 6 a.m. and roughed up a man — reportedly because of his estranged wife’s defaulted student loans. She wasn’t there.

Yet, Kenneth Wright of the city of Stockton was grabbed by the neck by handcuffed before he and his three young children were put in a police car as the officers searched his house, he told ABC News10. He said he was in his underwear the whole time.

“They busted down my door for this. It wasn’t even me,” Wright told the local news station. “All I want is an apology for me and my kids and for them to get me a new door.”

Local police were reportedly not involved in the incident.

3. So the Department of Education now uses SWAT teams?
That should make for new twist on "defending one's dissertation."

4. Mr Wright relates his horrifying incident very well.

I can visualize everything that happened to him.

What has this country come to??

A few months ago we had a SWAT team late night attack in the Chicago area and it was a case of the wrong house altogether and the couple in the mistaken house were elderly, ex-concentration camp victims.

People that age just don't get over these things either.

5. Here come the gulags !
So here is the setup;

-gradually implement a system where debt is inevitable,. (endless taxation,. to pay for currency creation,. done by private banks on behalf of the government, that leads to endless inflation,. the principal is created but never the interest, the interest in demanded nonetheless.)
-charge loads of money for education, needed to find work,. (privatize as much of this as possible and run it for profit)
-create a system of insane laws that imprisons many non-violent people for things the majority of people think should be legal, i.e. growing/selling/smoking flowers,. etc, etc,. .
-privatize the prisons! Run these for profit,. i.e. slave labor factories.
-now imprison people who default on debts,. and the system generates profits and slave labor in a feedback loop,.
-American Gulags! Call anyone who descents a "terrorist" or an "anti-government revolutionary", imprison them as well,. and the system is self fulfilling.

Monetary Reform i.e. a new way to create, issue, and use money is needed now. One that does not create endless debt, endlessly rising interest, and one that does not spiral wealth from the many to the few in a giant sucking vortex of doom.

6. So in order to protect you from the terrorists,
law enforcement officials will have to terrorize you from time to time. Get used to it America; it's the wave of the future.
