The John Roll Assassination

The biggest non-story that is out there is the assassination of John Roll. Why is this a non-story? The reason I call this a non-story is because John roll is almost never mentioned in the shooting incident in which he was killed. I do understand why the media focuses on Gabrielle Giffords who was injured in the incident but is recovering while she is an active Congresswoman and she is a likable person and quite frankly, is a pretty lady.

It surprises me that no one mentions the assassination of the federal judge. Okay, I will not say no one, but the mainstream media and more ignore this. The only place you can even read anything about it is basically wacko sites that are conspiracy theory sites. I usually do not conform to conspiracy theories. However, this is becoming something that looks more more like a conspiracy.

John Roll is a judge who was appointed by George W. Bush. He very recently ruled against the Obama administration in a money seizure case.  There have been a lot of money seizure cases in the past but very few that were not connected with any criminal activity. This seemed to be the case for this particular money seizure.  Judge Roll had made the preliminary ruling when he was preparing to rule against Obama's power to seize American citizens' money without clear and convincing evidence of a crime being committed. The Obama administration was arguing that the seizures were made under executive orders instead of using existing laws. They cited to support to this case the fact that FDR seized gold from US Citizens in 1933 using Executive Order 6102 which by the way was since ruled unconstitutional.


The fact that the Obama administration is trying to rule by executive order instead of law is not unusual for most who watch this administration. He has tried to do away with the Hatch act by making federal contractors reveal who they donated money to.  He also recently stated to Congress that they did not really have to approve all of the war actions in Libya because there wasn't that much going on, despite what his speeches say to the contrary in England.  So the Obama ministration abusing presidential powers is nothing unusual.

What is starting to give me concern is that the "lone gunmen" Jared Loughner now has been ruled mentally incompetent to stand trial. This conveniently prevents the case from going to court. This prevents anyone from seeing the evidence that could be put forward in this case. It is interesting that initially there was a second "suspect" who was later released because authorities decided he was not connected to the shooting. Many people including the Kremlin's Foreign Intelligence Service, consider this person to be Mr. Loughner's handler.

Maybe it is nothing. Maybe there is no conspiracy. My biggest concern is that no one is mentioning the assassination of John Roll.  The last time a Federal Judge was assassinated while in office was Robert Smith Vance when he was killed in 1989 by a mail bomb. Federal judges are not assassinated very often. It should be headline news when they are. I'm just wondering why this story is never being pushed forward by the media. Whatever you do stay safe!
