James Madison once wrote that "the rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which government was instituted." While in recent years our political leaders have not always lived up to Madison's vision of government, rarely have they engaged in such blatant disregard for our constitutional rights as they did during Operation
Choke Point - a secret program launched under the Obama administration to punish political adversaries.Operation
Choke Point was a plot by President Obama's Department of Justice, the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and other government agencies to cut off banking and financial services for small businesses and industries that they deemed to be political enemies or otherwise undesirable.
Some of these businesses included gun stores, ammunition shops, fireworks stores, small dollar lenders, and home-based charities.
Comment: The agreement signed between Kim and Trump specified the order in which events are to take place. The U.S. is already pretending this agreement doesn't exist. Peace treaty first, denuclearization after that. Luckily Moon and Kim are proceeding apace, despite American belligerence.
