Chapter 650: A Missed Opportunity for $10,000

Some people want to manipulate public opinion, limit the development of the arms company under his name with the anti-war thinking of the domestic people, and pour dirty water on him.

Then Li Zitao muddied the water and shifted the public's attention to another matter, the "racial discrimination" that has never ended since the birth of the United States.

A white wife was burned in the street while she was pregnant. Her husband became a "murderer," and served 8 years in prison.

After he was released from prison, he found the murderers of the year, two former members of the 3K Knights, and shot them dead with his own hands in Times Square, New York.

Is this story exciting enough? If not, how about pairing it with News Corp.’s advertorial and their life back then?

To be able to find Michael, I would also like to thank Li Zitao's arms dealer, Lincoln Burrows.

The leader of the bandits, Lincoln nicknamed 'Money', had been inmates with Michael back then, and he had heard about him.

When he learned that Li Zitao needed a big news, he keenly thought of the name 'Michael', and personally asked his brother in prison to contact him.

In this way, Michael got all the information of the enemy, and a promise, 'wash your grievances and let people know what these demons have done to you. '

Michael didn't care if he could live or not. He was dead when his wife was burned and he was imprisoned, and what was alive was just a shell.

Now, he just wants people to know what happened that year.

"It was our wedding anniversary and I was going to take her to a restaurant to celebrate and I booked a table at her favorite restaurant,

But I forgot my wallet when I went out, so I asked Malena to wait for me in the car... When I went out again, I heard her scream,

Through the branches, I saw from a distance that someone grabbed her hand and made her unable to move, and then a transparent liquid was poured on her body...

Someone lit a cigarette, he was wearing a triangular hat, and he was wearing a Ku Klux Klan white robe, I expected what was going to happen, I ran as hard as I could, rushed towards her..."

Michael, who was presenting, became agitated, his eyes filled with pain, and tears fell like rain: "They let her go, and then the burning match was still on her body, and the fire instantly wrapped his body. whole body...

My body started shaking, my legs went numb, I tripped, I heard Marilyn scream, I saw her struggling, her burnt fingers stretched out towards me,

I heard her cry for help... Ah, I'm going to kill you, kill you. "

Michael, who was wearing handshakes and shackles, yelled at the hearing seat frantically, frightening the white people in the hearing seat.

His eyes are not human, but a brutal, ruthless green like a beast, trying to tear everyone in the room.

Seeing that everyone's faces changed color, even the judge presiding over the trial couldn't help stretching out his hand to draw a cross on his forehead and chest. Li Zitao left with a blank expression.

"Boss, all the gold has been shipped back." Leaving the court to the door, he heard the good news from Danny.

His gold was shipped back from Poland, and his Los Angeles City Bank now also has 5 tons of gold reserves.

The gold reserve of 5 tons is not a small number in 35 years. AD-B's Grasberg open-pit copper-gold mine in Indonesia has begun to mine.

Li Zitao is considering whether to increase his gold reserves to prepare for the future Bresenton system.

After World War II, the U.S. dollar became the international currency standard. If any country does not need foreign exchange and gold, it will definitely make a lot of money by selling the gold.

"Let's buy a certain amount of gold from AD-B, and buy it at the rate of one ton per year!" Li Zitao said as he walked, and Ava beside him quickly wrote it down.

She just finished her vacation, looking refreshed, traveling, shopping, and relaxing. The paid vacation reimbursed by Li Zitao is not too pleasant.

"By the way, is there a recent Washington Post?" Sitting in the car,

Li Zitao wanted to know about the recent trends in Washington.

"Ha, our Mr. President has taught the justices a lesson again." Li Zitao couldn't help laughing when he saw the headline above that the President's new policy was boycotted by the Supreme Court.

This is the first time since Roosevelt came to power, and he lost count.

The Conservative Party of the Supreme Court likes to oppose Roosevelt, even after he came to power, he asserted that he would destroy the United States and split the country.

But Roosevelt came to power smoothly, and then he cut the benefits and pensions of veterans and judicial personnel three times in a row.

The older Justices Vandervent and Sutherland planned to retire after he took office.

Once the two retire, it means that Roosevelt will be able to get the right to nominate two justices of the Supreme Court, and take advantage of the opportunity to find supporters who share the same philosophy as him.

But at this time, Congress cut the retirement amount of the justices.

10,000 US dollars per year is not a small amount in this era. Justices Van der Vent and Justice Sutherland have been in poor health and have been soaking in medicine jars all year round.

The reduction of pensions was a blow to them. Because of this incident, the two gave up their plans to retire, gritted their teeth and insisted on staying in the position of the Supreme Court.

Recently, the four conservative justices headed by McReynolds, Pierce, Van der Vent, and Sutherland joined the swinging Justice Roberts to form a majority. They held conservative opinions and repeatedly rejected Roosevelt's New Deal ideas.

But Roosevelt was helpless about this. He could only helplessly watch the nine old men in the Supreme Court stifle all his efforts to change the country.

Judges are an ancient profession with profound historical traditions and academic backgrounds. They tend to be conservative and will not be easily swayed by public opinion.

American judges, on the other hand, have more systems to ensure that they can ignore the pressure of the public and public opinion.

So they cling to what they have believed for years, a system of laissez-faire capitalism, and strict limits on government power.

Among the most insisted are the inviolability of private property and complete freedom of contract.

To describe the case, the owner of a bakery in New York State required workers to work more than 10 hours a day, which violated the local government's highest labor law.

The boss was fined for this, but he took the lawsuit to the Supreme Court, arguing that the government had deprived him of the freedom of contract with the workers.

The Supreme Court then upheld his claim and wrote that 'the general right to enter into contracts relating to business is part of the liberty of the individual protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. '

In other words, the state court's regulations are unconstitutional, wrong, and untenable.

In addition, during the period of the great western development of the United States, when the railway was being built, the railway company expelled members of the guild who performed well, and the railway company was sued for this.

However, when the lawsuit reached the Supreme Court, the justices once again stood on the side of the enterprise, declaring that ‘the freedom of employment granted to railway operators by the Constitution cannot be deprived. '

There are countless such cases, but in all lawsuits involving enterprises, the Supreme Court basically takes the position of enterprises.

Li Zitao is quite willing to see this, and I believe his colleagues also want to see it, but it has to be said that this is a disaster for the market.

The frequent outbreak of conflicts between labor and capital, general strikes, and the fact that workers are easily incited are all the responsibility of the Supreme Court.
