Sunday Funday: Comedian Josh Johnson on the Grounds of a Brewing Revolution

I am not and never have advocated for violence. Josh Johnson is not, either. We both are commentators to what we see happening in this country. Sticking our heads in the sand will not change what is happening up above.

An oligarchy of corporate kings and their puppet politicians and judges tried, and some say succeeded at enslaving the masses. There is no justice for the everyday person.

One example: Walmart and major credit card companies partner to create million entry portfolios of account numbers. If one of the accounts appears to be in default and the person associated with that account refuses to pay, whether for a legitimate reason or not, the account may be written off for a tax break to the corporations, then sold to a debt buyer like Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC.

An account associated with my name before I married, Laura Lynn, was one of the default accounts on a list generated by Capital One. (There is no indication that the Capital One account was a Walmart branded account. I mention Walmart, because the judge who was supposed to deliver justice on the matter, Lee P. Rudofsky, was general counsel to Walmart before his lifetime appointment to the federal bench.)

There was also an account sold to PRA that was associated with Laura Lyman. After I filed a lawsuit against Portfolio Recovery Asociates, LLC for violating the Fair Debt Consumer Protection Act (FDCPA) and my privacy, PRA sent a letter to Laura Lynn that said it completed the investigation into Laura Lyman’s dispute and set the balance of Laura Lyman’s account number to zero.

When pressed, PRA sent a letter to Laura Lynn saying her account was closed. When pressed again, the debt company sent a letter with the same language as the Laura Lyman letter, only with “Laura Lynn” and the account number associated with Laura Lynn. PRA and Judge Rudofsky maintain to this day that Laura Lynn owed $2,297.63 and admitted she owed the money. Total bullshit.

Judge Rudofsky and Portfolio Recovery kept me in court for years. Rudofsky lied about what I said. He lied by implication about the evidence that he allowed PRA to file under seal. The judge refused to allow a jury to hear and see the evidence.

Finally, PRA asked Judge Rudofsky to tax the costs of the goliath credit collector’s defense to me. In protest, I gave a copy of my tax return for the latest year and swore under penalty of perjury that my income is a pension that is under $650 per month. I said I qualify for Medicaid.

Judge Lee P. Rudofsky grumbled that I gave two different amounts, $630 and $639 off the top of my head, for my pension. (I didn’t realize I got a cost-of-living increase on the part of my pension that came from a QUADRO in a divorce filed in 1996.) He complained that I only gave one year of taxes. (President Trump, who nominated Rudofsky, wouldn’t show any of his tax returns to the public.)

The judge said something like “let her eat cake” and rubber stamped the order for costs to the company that buys debt from his past employer.

Josh Johnson got it right. It is looking like Versailles.
