I’ve written extensively for years about the privacy invasion and unwarranted intrusion of the census goons. I have been continually bothered by the government census bureaucracy.
In the past few months, I have received several economic and agriculture census demands. I of course threw all of them out upon receipt. This has been my policy for a very long time. Lately, I have been inundated with telephone calls from the census bureau, and my normal response is to hang up on these government employed idiots.
Today, I received my first threat (for this census) from the Department of Commerce.
“If we do not receive your completed Economic Census form within 2 weeks, then we may refer your case to the Chief Counsel for Economic Affairs of the U.S. Department of Commerce for further action.”
The last time I received threats from the government about failure to complete a census, it was this same economic census form. Eventually, I was threatened with a $5,000.00 fine or worse for non-compliance. I did finally send in the form blank, and was not contacted again. That was less than 5 years ago.
The “MANDATORY PROVISION OF LAW” for failure to answer census questions is Section 224 of Title 13 of United States Code. The penalties are to be not more than $5,000.00 for non-compliance, and not more than $10,000.00 for giving false information. Don’t forget that this is a “free” country!
I don’t know exactly how far these cretins will go this time, but I will continue to report as the threats continue or worsen. As always, I have no intention whatsoever in complying with any threats from this police state called America.
