Changes Forthcoming
Written by Quiet too long — 10/10/2026
When a state uses criminal enforcement to recapture and evade ex post facto and double jeopardy, or predict without cause or injuries, and punish a peaceful citizen for a civil administrative violation—all while allowing that same activity to remain legal for all other citizens as a free right—the state alters the fundamental meaning of the Constitution. It twists foundational documents for personal state benefits so vaguely that scholars cannot decipher them. This ultimately breaks the separation of powers and commits a systemic fraud against both the simple laymen who must comply and the free people who remain uninformed of these hidden, creeping laws. These codes grant complete authority to the sole discretion of observing officials to dictate what the law is on any given day.
This conclusion rests on the principle that altering a foundational legal text by even a small percentage creates an entirely new, illegitimate document. Presenting a bloated administrative code while claiming it is the unchanged original constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation. Furthermore, a court cannot lawfully obfuscate the distinct jurisdictions of civil administrative rules and criminal prosecution without directly violating the supreme law of the land, excluding juries, and breaking official oaths to obscure the entire event in a civil action. Because a legitimate criminal charge strictly requires a corpus delicti—a real victim and a provable injury—criminalizing a respectful citizen who is not under parole or probation, and who was set free in a public space based entirely on “predictive risk” or a lack of registration, treats a peaceful individual as a dangerous criminal.
Taken to its logical conclusion, allowing the state to enforce criminal penalties for civil non-compliance based on anticipated risk rather than actual harm completely reverses the presumption of innocence and the standard of reasonable doubt. It creates a dangerous system of preemptive compliance that completely undermines original constitutional protections and individual liberty. This constitutes a fraud that all Americans should pay attention to, as the states are basically retrying the same action over and over and over. The state claims it is punishing a new violation, but the violation itself would not exist without the old conviction. Therefore, the old conviction remains the true, endless source of the punishment.
This leaves us with a critical question: if a conviction is truly over, why is a criminal charge allowed to be applied to a civil, non-criminal offense? The answer exposes the ultimate breakdown of our legal system. By relying on precedents like Smith v. Doe (2003), the judiciary has decided that a single ruling can effectively rewrite the entire Constitution. When a state is permitted to endlessly amend a regulatory framework until the original ruling is no longer recognizable, it creates a psychopathic junction of denial—a legal fiction where the state pretends to uphold the Bill of Rights while operating a parallel system of permanent, lifelong punishment.

Judge Dismisses Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Against Sam Altman Brought By His Sister (Forbes 20 Oct 2026

How did the registry help here? Once again, allegations brought by a sibling where the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator are in the same familial household.

I went in for my last registry check in this year and the gal I have registered with is retiring and met the new gal who is replacing her. She told me twice I wasn’t a problem and wished me well. I found it odd though I had to sign a document about International Megans Law again. Sometimes all I can do is shake my head at the system and hope someday it falls under the weight. At least Maryland doesn’t consider me a threat, yet the system won’t let me go either. 13 more years of this messed up relationship with the government and I want a divorce.

But adults have told us minors don’t have the brain power to know what is right or wrong under the age of 18…

Texas School Police Referred Tens of Thousands of Children to Prosecutors for Minor Misbehavior (Reason.com 21 Oct 2026)

A media investigation found criminal referrals of schoolchildren age 10 to 13 grew as the number of school resource officers in Texas likewise ballooned.

As School Resource Officers grew in numbers, so did the number of infractions by minors…who cannot think for themselves under the age of 18…uh huh

Justice Kagan Says Supreme Court Majority Fails to Understand ‘Consequences’ of Their Rulings (Epoch Times)

Duh! Ya think?!

The article pertains more to political gerrymandering than it does anything else (thus, no link). I felt the article’s title was applicable to every Court ruling they publish in which the population just shakes their head at what the heck they are doing.

This is why I think they are way too far removed from reality in what they decide and, since, we have a lot more alleged legal scholars in this country, there should be term limits on a Supreme Court Justice sitting on the high court.

I’ve been on the registry in kentucky since 2013 when I was convicted and evn had to do a curfew before hand. I’ve fought my case tooth and nail but no one cares or even bothers because of knowing the system is rigged. I got out I only got $3.89 in food stamps and had to live with my mom otherwise I wasn’t able to be released. No half way houses would take me and homeless shelters wont take you. There for about the first 5 years it was a struggle but I managed. I was so broke i used a piece of plastic to hold my pants up because i couldnt afford a belt. How sad is that? Today I write because I’m now mentally struggling and it only seems to be getting worse every day. There’s no relief. Anywhere. I go to a therapist to talk about my issues until my disability hopefully goes through but the judge screwed me over and didn’t to listen to anything I had to say, basically delaying everything 3 years since my accident. I’m broke. I have $1.99 to my name. I can’t work anywhere where I live because of harassment due to the felony. I even had a gun pulled on me and the person told me I’d have to quit or be shot. Cops laughed at me when I told them about it. Cops don’t do anything. Every avenue i take to find a stay at home job seems inevitable that they wont hire me because of my felony. Im stuck with contract work if im lucky to get any. State pays for laptops but theres no funding for me but yet a single mother can?! No one cares that theres so many obstacles. My family makes my land payment. I live off food stamps and state funded insurance which I’m fortunate to have. No one will hire me because of the physical shape I’m in(major chest accident). All of my family basically tired of listening too me. I literally have no friends because of the registry. I have no life. I tried. You call a hotline and youll be continuously told to wait to talk to your therapist or told to get one, waste of time. I was doing so good for the first 5 years. $24/hr and working 12 and 16 hr shifts. Before everything started to fall apart on me. Even put a down payment on a car and it got the point I was being harassed and it effected my mental health so i had to quit working. Had too. Coming home every week only to park the car and cry in my drive way. And questioning why I’m here. Anymore I get up and go day by day. And it as of late it seriously seems I can’t catch a break. I haven’t since my release. I honestly just wanna give up because my life is that stressful. Anything I do anymore is a waste of time. Doesn’t matter how hard I try I still end up losing. Now have a lein against my property because the dealership I went through screwed me over. I may or may not file bankruptcy in hopes I get to keep my property or end up homeless. I end up homeless more than likely I’ll end up back in prison because that’s how kentucky operates. And I already know I’ll die in the winter if I do end up homeless. Youre found homeless(illegal now) youll autonatically violate everything and probably be locked up for another 10 years. I can’t handle the cold anymore because of my chest accident. Nothings working out for me anymore. I ask for legal help on anything and it seems to never work out. I cant leave the state because of the stupid extradition thing they have. They can go off the whim and extradite you back to kentucky and violate your parole just simply because they feel like it. My family is getting tired of me ‘moping’ and everyone wants me to work. And I understand that. I have to be able to support myself somehow right? But they’re not on the registry to even fathom the struggle and then to add a major chest accident and almost die. Why am I still here? Why do I struggle every day? I tried to get ahead and move on. But I can’t no matter how hard i try. Everyone around me is broke and stay broke because of me. I can’t seem to catch a break no matter what path I take. I can’t get housing because of my felony. Jobs are a joke. If it ain’t my felony no one will hire me because of the shape my body is in. Cant get an education because 99% of jobs that require a license or permit everyone on the registry is banned from performing. And I’ve wasted 3 years being unemployed so far attempting to apply for disability only to find out the judge didn’t listen to a word I said. It’s as if I’m stuck in a shark tank with bricks tied to my ankles and holding my nose above water. No one’s around to give relief I need. No one cares. There’s relief for other people except for myself. My life has always been a struggle and it only seems to be getting worse. I understand life has its ups and downs but you can only be beat down so much before you want to give on even trying. I have everything against me. I’m still here. I don’t understand why. Go to church? State requires I ask the pastor then ask the congregation if I can be a member… good luck pushing separation of church and state. I’ve even went against my case because of false accusations by a court appointed therapist. Fake and deleted evidence. None of it matters apparently. Yet a local cop can get caught with his pants down get convicted of one year, never put on the registry because he agreed to resign. And it was never made to be on the news because the police department wanted to suppress it due to ‘reputation’. So they can use reputational harm but we can’t? Thry even invaded my privacy and everything. I can’t fight any of it. The system is broken. 100%. It’s gotten to where my mother lies too me on a daily basis too the point I can’t trust her. I’ve lost trust for anybody for that matter. My sister argued with me as why I don’t work yesterday regardless of my chest accident thinking I’m stubborn and haven’t tried hard enough. She got aggervated simply because everything she suggested I’ve done tried. And she don’t think I have. Why bother anymore? GO work at a fast food restaurant? Okay sure… have to ask for permission to work with minors. But I’ve also been told that a simple accusation or even a cop walking in just wanting to arrest me, that permission is out the window. So what’s the point? I have fought since the day I was released to try and move on. It’s like quick sand that i can’t seem to get out of. I already know I’ll lose my case against this car loan company. No one wants to represent me. I’m broke so I can’t hire anyone. And the dealership will come out ahead in profit. Money has ruined everything. I despise money anymore. And I’m also beginning to despise humanity. I used to be the chillest person you’d ever know, people thought because I was so calm and chill that I was on drugs but never was. Now… because of this conviction… I’ve got major depressive disorder, anxiety, ptsd… you name it. And it’s even contributed to my chest accident. I asked the parole officer if I even had a chance of being removed and she laughed. And continued to tell me there’s no possibility. Im still required to register but i dont have a required parole officer?! When I was released I was marked as the most violent. For no reason. Simply made to stand there in silence and never asked any questions as to how violent I was. I had no victim. Only victim was me. Before my release you never had to pay to to be removed from the registry and now you have to pay some $150 even after you serve your full 20 years just to HOPE you’ll be removed. I can’t find any relief anymore. I feel like I’m drowning. Luckily federal government recently failed to pass a bill that required EVERYONE on the registry to pay $150 a month plus a $1000 yearly fee. The problems mounding but no one’s there to help me sort through it, I’m only told to trust the process and keep pushing. You only have so much push left before you want to give up and coast. I wanted to be a mechanical engineer when I got out. Requires a bachelor’s to get a license. Can’t get the license because of my felony. Can’t be a land surveyor. I can’t even sell life insurance?! Recently kentucky passed a bill where if my elderly mother gets the point she needs healthcare at home, I’m not allowed too provide that. It’ll be against the law. The system is broken. I can’t say it enough. No one will hire me simply because of the shape my chest is in and that’s overlooking the felony. My rant is done for today. Thanks for reading my book.

Firearm Possession by Registrants: What the 3rd Circuit Giveth, the 6th Circuit Taketh Away (FAC 30 Oct 2026)
Two weeks ago, some registrants had reason for cautious optimism about the Second Amendment. Three days later, a federal appeals court in another part of the country showed how fragile that optimism is.

People in my community did some very vile things to me online this year. We have our yearly HOA meeting soon and I am expecting those troublemakers to attempt to harm my family further through special HOA restrictions.

Has anyone had any prior HOA controversies to deal with? What can I potentially expect, and what would help me prevail?

Can I get some info here, please. I wonder if moving overseas negates the requirement of a passport mark once in the new country.

So, one thing that will impact PFRs from the mid-term elections (besides the crazy state of FLA putting into office another guvnah who will shun PFRs despite himself being a convicted criminal who reformed himself and should be continually reminded of such when he decides to crap on PFRs, et al they are associated with) is Assoc Justice Alito retiring and the ability to replace him with someone like him in the current administration.

If he was to retire today there would be less than 60 days to vet and confirm the replacement before the newly seated Congress does all it can to stem the impact the last two years of the current administration can have on the country. If AJ Alito follows through in retiring next summer as he has alluded to possibly doing, that could mean an even court the following session (last year of the current administration) and any cases PFRs could benefit from may be stymied. POTUS won’t nominate anyone who will be more like what the Congress prefers and thus a year of possibly 4-4 ties is a real threat.

As we have discussed, elected and appointed bodies such as Congress and judicially are not friends of one who has a conviction, but especially those who are labeled PFRs. However, even courts are not friends to either side in the end if 4-4 ties are possible. I realize the court is more conservative today, but that does not mean, as we have seen, it will always be a defeat for PFRs or those who are more conservative will vote with their conservative judicial siblings in robes to create a 5-3 conservation voting majority.
