In California, BigCorp Now Polices Itself

California is notorious as both the testing grounds and backup FedGov for implementing Satan’s Agenda upon USA. This example of Attorney General Bonta expanding his slice of the Deep State by empowering BigCorp with law enforcement powers demonstrates the usual tactics.

First is the old Hegelian Dialectic of creating a problem in order to offer a “solution” that would never be accepted otherwise. California infamously legalized low-value shoplifting and refused to prosecute thefts, in order to curate the growth of Organized Retail Crime/Criminals (hereinafter ORCs): organized thieves who steal stuff for resale on the Internet.

Obviously, the only possible way to thwart such hardened, cunning and motivated criminals… after they’ve been caught and released dozens or hundreds of times…  is to monitor ALL sales on the Internet by EVERYBODY for EVERYTHING. It’s just common sense, really.

You’ll also see the public-private dance around restrictions on State power. “We bureaucrats didn’t spy on you! That would be illegal! We only legalized other people to spy on you and then bought the info from them!”

You’ll see the State encouraging proles to rat on each other.

You’ll see that California cannot force the entire nation to do things its way… unless “the entire nation” wants to possibly do business, at some point, inside California. Which is a large portion of USA’s economy. I keep waiting to see online retailers refuse to do business with Kali, but it’s only just begun to happen and only with the motivation that Kali’s demands are becoming literally impossible to meet.

And of course, you will see ten percent… oops… ten thousand dollars to the Big Guy, California AG Bonta, in return for his granting law enforcement powers to BigCorp.

Attorney General Bonta, Retailers, Online Marketplaces Sign Collaborative Agreement to Better Combat Organized Retail Crime

20 June 2023

LOS ANGELES — California Attorney General Rob Bonta, with retailers and online marketplaces representing some of the largest share of retail and online business, signed a first-of-its-kind agreement committing to specific actions aimed at helping address the growing issue of organized retail crime… In the agreement, the parties agree to take certain steps aimed at increasing the detection and reporting of organized retail crime, as well as improved collaboration on information sharing and investigation of organized retail crime in furtherance of prosecutions.

Now that Bonta & his Open Society friends have rendered the police demoralized & ineffective at their jobs, he has been slowly and reluctantly forced against his better judgment, to directly empower interstate/ international business enterprises to police themselves while creating a money pipeline exclusive to his office.

“The Home Depot applauds Attorney General Bonta for committing to this agreement and the passage of SB 301 and AB 1700, legislation that will fight organized retail crime and help stop dangerous criminals from stealing from our stores,” said Scott Glenn, Vice President of Asset Protection, The Home Depot.

And on that note… you know me, I actually read the legislation…

AB-1700 Theft: online marketplaces: reporting.

h ttps://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1700

Approved by Governor September 30, 2022

This bill would require the Attorney General to establish a reporting location on its internet website for individuals to report items found on online marketplaces, as defined, that they suspect are stolen goods, and would require the Attorney General to provide that information to the applicable local law enforcement agency and regional property crimes task force.

Did you catch that boldfaced? The Attorney General’s office is NOT a law enforcement organization! When you notify the government of a suspicious transaction, it does NOT go straight to law enforcement! It goes to Bonta’s staff first. He’ll be in a perfect position to cover for allies.

The display shall be clearly, conspicuously, and reasonably designed to be seen by all users of the platform.

“Inform on the people that you don’t like! Win cash and prizes! Only your anonymous accusation can stop Climate Change!”

SB-301 Marketplaces: online marketplaces.

h ttps://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB301

This bill would, commencing July 1, 2023, require an online marketplace, as defined, to require a high-volume third-party seller on the online marketplace, not later than 10 days after qualifying as a high-volume third-party seller, to provide to the online marketplace specified information, including certain contact information and a bank account number or, if the seller does not have a bank account, the name of the payee for payments issued by the online marketplace to the seller, as prescribed.

Oh yeah, let’s read that again.

1749.8.1. (a) An online marketplace shall require…

(1) (A) A bank account number…

The very beginning… Subsection 1, Part A-1-A…. the government requires you to provide your financial information to a third party. Because ordering you to provide it directly would violate privacy laws and/or raise suspicions that you’re being prosecuted simply because you can afford the resulting fine.

Does a different section of SB301 require that third party to give your financial information to the government?

1749.8.3. (a) (1) An online marketplace shall keep the information provided to comply with the requirements of this title for no less than two years… shall not be used for any other purpose unless required by law.

Boom, there it is. What does the law require? NOBODY KNOWS ANYMORE.

SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom just wrapped up the 2022 legislative session, signing 997 bills into law.

Nine hundred, ninety-six binders of laws on the wall,
Nine hundred, ninety-six binders of laws.
Pick up a bribe and take up a cause, and
Nine hundred, ninety-seven binders of laws on the wall.

End Segue

A person or entity who violates any provision of this title shall be liable for [up to] $10,000 for each violation, which may be assessed and recovered only in a civil action brought in the name of the people of the State of California by the Attorney General.

It’s NOT a criminal act to disobey this law! That means you get no free lawyer, no presumption of innocence and Bonta gets a lower burden of guilt. He also gets “reimbursements” for litigation expenses despite being a government office, and he can request additional punishments such as restraining orders that trigger immediate firearm confiscation. The next time you go to an ATM, it won’t tell you if your account still has money until you stick your foot in the slot to be fitted with an ankle monitor.

Meanwhile, nobody but the Attorney General gets a piece of that pie.

“We’re passing this new law to prosecute organized theft, but it can ONLY be a civil-court prosecution by me or my lieutenants, and the only punishment is money sent to my office.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Meanwhile, why would “online marketplaces” cooperate with feeding prey to Bonta like this? It’s quid pro quo for Bonta granting them police powers:

h ttps://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/FINAL%20ORC%20Mark%20Up%5B1%5D.pdf

This Joint Statement of Principles is adopted by Attorney General Rob Bonta and the undersigned private sector industry stakeholders involved in retail and the sale of goods online (Stakeholders). It is the culmination of a collaborative effort by the Attorney General and Stakeholders to combat Organized Retail Crime.

Pure WEF Great Reset agenda.

To aid in the detection and prosecution of ORC and consistent with existing privacy, consumer, and other applicable laws and legal obligations, the undersigned Stakeholders commit to the following:

Retailers commit to filing police reports for all incidents determined to be related to ORC with specific information relating to the theft—store location, suspect information, and details of the stolen items, including stock keeping unit (SKU) numbers and retail price. The reports should also include, where possible, details for potential witnesses, including contact information, and details on each witnesses’ role in the investigation.

They commit to doing the investigation themselves.

Retailers will maintain policies related to the retention of video of ORC-related incidents to aid in prosecution and keep internal rosters of individuals who can lay the foundation for the introduction of such video evidence during prosecution. These rosters should be kept up-to-date and, to the extent possible, be made available to law enforcement upon
request.

They commit to testifying in court, not only as witnesses or plaintiffs, but as prosecutors. After which, Bonta can sue them in civil court for his ten percent. $10k, I mean.

Retailers will ensure loss prevention personnel are trained on gathering, reporting, and retaining the evidence listed above to aid in the prosecution of ORC-related incidents.

Again, that’s policework.

Retailers will maintain records of ORC-related thefts in a case management system.

Police call that “chain of custody”.

Retailers will communicate with Marketplaces to establish connections between ORC incidents and threat patterns across the retail ecosystem.

We don’t need no stinkin’ search warrants!

Retailers will communicate with Marketplaces to stay updated on trends in ORC. Such communication should focus on sharing general intelligence gathered by retailers

“Welcome to Five Eyes, Home Depot. We are so excited to begin sharing general intelligence with you.”

This information should be shared through the establishment of regular industry meetings, either facilitated by Regional Organized Retail Crime Associations, by prosecutors and law enforcement, or independently.

There’s a phrase for you to start noticing. These GAE monsters are not trying to solve retail crime; the proof of that is they’re the ones who cultivated it in the first place. What this is REALLY about, is 1. surveillance state and 2. thwarting dissidents from being able to do business online by first demanding access to their bank accounts up-front and then “legally” draining them via accusations that slouch around the Bill Of Rights.

If any of my readers do $20k of annual business on Etsy, you might want to blacklist Californian customers.

There is no way, socioeconomically speaking, that digital currency can possibly work. The banksters won’t be able to control their perverted lusts long enough to deny their orgies of destruction, forget lying about them. You’d sign up for Mark Of the Beast and by end of week, be facing a zillion felonies and enough debt that your grandchildren will all be organ-harvested before birth. Nobody sane would choose to be next.

No wonder Revelation mentions God “sending a powerful delusion” upon the damned.

Retailers will collaborate to provide training to law enforcement on how to partner with retailers to identify, investigate, and resolve ORC investigations.

On an as-needed basis, police will be PERMITTED to ASSIST in the investigations!

And for online, eBay-type businesses particularly:

Marketplaces will maintain external policies defining marketplace rules and the consequences of violations.

Marketplaces will maintain internal written policies that guide collaboration and information-sharing…

Shouldn’t both policies be external? How are customers supposed to know if the marketplace is misusing their information, if they aren’t allowed to see even the rules? Oh.

I close with the list of Stakeholders who signed on to being their own police department:

Meta
Target
CVS Health
Safeway/Albertson’s
Amazon
Ebay
Rite Aid
Walgreens
Home Depot
OfferUp
Etsy
Mercari

Eh, I didn’t want buy a vaccine anyway. Expect Home Depot to begin selling third-party merchandise in the near future. Oh wait, they’re already a primary retail outlet for all kinds of power tool makers, household chemical products and so on. All of them must now provide bank account info to Home Depot, who in turn, must maintain that info for the Attorney General.

This truly is a “first-of-its-kind” partnership.

Conflicts of interest are everywhere in this. Whenever you do business through intermediaries in the future, that intermediary will be your accuser, judge and executioner. Your jury is a politician who only gets paid if he convicts you. You’ll be explicitly told what conduct is expected of you, the better to establish YOUR potential guilt, but you WON’T be told what rules the other party is following… or what they’re allowed to do with your financial information. You COULD go to the police if you get wronged, but the police aren’t even involved anymore, and take one guess, who taught them everything they now know about retail crimes.
