Moralists strike again!

Someone I know is getting robbed.

I say “getting” and not “got” because it is still going on.

The people who are robbing her first struck in broad daylight. They acted with complete impunity, because for the most part they have it, and they know it. They attacked this woman, they held her for ransom, and they are still in the process of taking everything she has and everything she owns.

You may have heard of this woman. The robbery certainly made the national wire services, although nobody outside of yours truly will be willing to call it such.

This woman’s name is Melissa Wolf, although you may know her by her real name, which I won’t give out of respect. And the only reason why nobody outside of yours truly will call this action against her a robbery is because the criminals in this case are those in the local government in Georgia.

Melissa was charged this past week with running a house of prostitution… supposedly from her own multi-million dollar house in Gwinnett County. That’s not all she was charged with, though. She is also accused of “conspiracy to possess cocaine”, which is about as bogus of a charge as you can manufacture.

But this is where the truly criminal activity comes in, because by charging her with “conspiracy to possess cocaine”, the local prosecutor can invoke federal RICO laws to STEAL HER PROPERTY! Everything she has, everything she owns, all of it would belong to the county, to be sold or used at THEIR discretion.

Now I have met Melissa several times in the past, and I even interviewed her for my online radio program back in 2000. She is a former Penthouse centerfold model as well as a feature dancer (yes, she’s a stripper). I cannot say whether or not she offered her “services”, but the prices being offered by the prosecutor seemed to be more fiction than fact. $10,000 for sexual services? The person who has that much money on hand doesn’t need to pay $10,000 for that kind of service! I’d have a better time believing that a person blew $10,000 for some satisfaction at the now-defunct Gold Club (another victim of government theft) than in the “private services” of a feature dancer who would certainly be experienced enough to know better than to make such an offer!

Oh but I suppose that doesn’t matter, does it? She’s a centerfold model! She’s a stripper! In the eyes of the freedom-hating moralists, that instantly makes her guilty of just about ANYTHING!

So why pick on her? Why target her and her friends and anyone else associated with her?

Three words: FOLLOW THE MONEY!

Melissa lives in a nice house in a very nice section of Gwinnett County, and it is valued supposedly at over a million dollars. That’s a nice chunk of resale change for any county official who finds himself or herself a little short on tax revenue. And that doesn’t count the money that could be made selling off any cars she may have, any of the furnishings, electronics, and jewelry inside that house.

And all the county has to do to get away with this criminal act is to make the charges against Melissa and her associates stick. All they need is a plea bargain from someone. That’s all that it takes. That’s why the prosecutors are now going after some other folks too. They’re fishing for a witness. They want someone to get on the stand and say that everything Melissa is accused of is true, and then all of that property and all of that money is theirs to plunder. And that’s what it’s really all about. It’s about using the law to STEAL someone’s property.

The truth of the matter is that Melissa and her associates and anyone else brought in on this are getting victimized by the government. They are getting ROBBED by the government. In a county full of so-called “Christians” that CLAIM to respect the Ten Commandments, their own government officials are GUILTY of blatantly and maliciously violating TWO of those Commandments. “Thou shall not steal” and “Thou shall not covet thy neighbors goods.” We’ll have to figure out if they’re also guilty of bearing false witnesses, most notably with the “conspiracy to possess cocaine” crap.

But even if by some chance Melissa manages to avoid a conviction and keeps her property, she still has to deal with the fact that everyone now knows her real name. Whatever privacy she would have been able to enjoy afterwards has pretty much been eliminated. There is a reason why entertainers, be they mainstream or adult, have stage names. It is to give them a modicum of privacy; which is needed especially when you’re exposing other parts of yourself that most folks do not normally do. I know most “common folk” don’t understand that, but I’ve met entertainers – models, dancers, and actresses – and some of them are my friends, and I understand their concerns about privacy. And to have your REAL name and your REAL address plastered for all the world to see is about as exposed as you can get.
