PLAINTIFF BAR ATTORNEYS DESTROY OUR FREE MARKETS

     Plaintiff attorneys continuously bring class-action lawsuits against corporations in schemes and artifices to defraud shareholders and consumers.  They manipulate American citizens, once again, by claiming to defend the "little guy" when in reality they create a never-ending stream of lawsuits to line their own pockets with tens of millions, and many times hundreds of millions, of dollars in blackmail fees.  Most of the time, if prevailing, the end "clients" are each left with a check for $4.95 for their participation.
     This is one of the biggest scams being played upon the American public, but the reason it is allowed to continue is because all of the players are attorneys, members of the Bar.  All are members of the American Bar Association (ABA), as well as the individual state clubs, such as the Virginia State Bar Association (VSBA).  These are likely the most corrupt "trade organizations" in our country, and unfortunately in this facade of an adversarial system, the plaintiff attorneys, defense attorneys, prosecutors, judges, and members of Congress are all members of the same club.
     I, personally, have a great deal of experience with these Bar associations, and even I, one well-educated in the corruption of our bureaucratic systems, continue to be shocked at the Bar's violations of due process and cult-like conspiracy and collusion to protect its members.
     One quick example is how politicians, judges, and lawyers have for years written laws, ordered regulations, and orchestrated multi-million dollar marketing campaigns to promote transparency and public access to the records of complaints and violations against licensed securities brokers.  With the click of a button, we may now find out if any stockbroker has ever been accused of a violation, much less convicted.  Yet, why will the Bar not release this same information for you to perform proper due diligence before hiring an attorney?
     When presented with incontrovertible documentation of attorney theft and fraud against uneducated, poor clients, why is the Bar not mandated to investigate these claims?  Why don't the lawyer judges and the lawyer politicians ensure this system is equal to other professional service organizations?  Maybe it continues because we citizens and free market enthusiasts have allowed for one elite club to control all facets of our system while providing a facade of defending the individual.
     One more quick example is how I paid $25,000 to James Broccoletti of Zoby Broccoletti in Virginia Beach, Virginia, for representation on appeal.  After a few weeks, James resigned as counsel due to a perceived conflict of interest.  He provided no drafts or work papers or any documentation of any work performed, yet for five years he has refused to refund the appeal deposit, or even any partial payment.  The Virginia State Bar has been noticed repeatedly yet will provide no remedy, no due process, will not reveal this complaint publicly, and will not release any information concerning prior complaints about James Broccoletti.
     I know that I promised not to make fun of California for a while, but we have to explain how the Ninth Circuit (The Appeals Court in California) is now attempting to even expand these class-action plaintiff attorneys' powers in the case "Apple vs. Pepper."  Apple revolutionized our world of digital applications by providing a platform to cover all of the overhead expense, intellectual property protections, and financial transaction infrastructure for developers' new apps.  This freed up developers to innovate and greatly expand their distribution capabilities, creating over 2 million apps for us ravenous consumers.  For this incredible service, Apple charges a 30% commission to the developers, who are each free to set their own pricing.
     Because this service has been wildly successful and profitable, the class action attorneys now see an easy target for huge blackmail fees.  Unfortunately, many times the targeted company chooses to simply write the attorneys a large check to go away, and the unaware company shareholders pay this huge tab, but in this case I applaud Apple for standing up to the looters.
     Next, the Government attorneys gets in on the theft as they draft right behind the plaintiff attorneys by authorizing their lawsuits and adding their city, state or federal district to the class action list, so that they can get a large slice for their district and be promoted from Assistant Attorney General to the head honcho position.  In the Apple case, 31 states have joined the relevant cases, claiming they need more power to "protect consumers."  Does any JAM Views reader actually believe this? (If so, please re-read Posts #1 - #38).  This particular case, if successful, would have a great impact on Google and Microsoft's similar platforms, plus be extrapolated to blackmail e-Bay, Amazon Marketplace, Etsy, and Airbnb, whom all fund their incredible platforms with commissions.  Ironically, the app developers themselves, the supposed victims and beneficiaries of any settlement, have filed appeal briefs in support of Apple and against the class actions.
     Do you remember how state attorney generals recently persuaded the courts to overturn online retailers' exemption from paying each state's taxes?  Because of that, even more small retailers, especially Mom & Pop companies, transitioned to these service platforms to handle the financial and tax transactions.  Now the attorney generals are suing the platforms to take another bite of Mom & Pop's livelihood.
     We have Bar attorneys attacking the free markets, Bar state and federal government attorneys adding the Government's weight and threats behind the case, Bar attorney politicians enabling the pillage of free markets for their own photo opportunities and political contributions, and Bar attorney judges making the decisions on how much blackmail ransom is to be paid, all radically hurting the end consumer citizen they all profess to be defending.  How were we dumb enough to let all of these Bar attorneys rule everything in a closed shadowy system?  Why do we let it continue?
     JAM Views members must stop and think.  We must see through the surface rhetoric and educate ourselves in order to understand what is actually occurring in our economy, in our country.  I know you're tired of hearing me say it, but if we just follow the money, we will find the truth.  There is no other truth.  The rest is merely the play of consciousness for the masses.  This week seek more truth.
