PS to How the atheist Chinese get hooked into the cashless Beast global economy

Sorry.  One comment left out from Cole's Enemy Aliens: Using the IEEPA of 1977 (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) as amended by USA-PATRIOT, Jr. blocked all transactions w/any organization designated by Executive Order as supporting terrorists ... no criminal conviction, criminal charge or even an administrative hearing necessary, in other words, the executive may unilaterally, and "entirely in secret, using undisclosed criteria ... without substantive standards or meaningful procedural safeguards, "designate" anyone or any organization as a "terrorist supporter, sympathizer, etc." and he/she/they/it becomes immediately subject to the ultimate Beast dictate: "blocking of all of an entity's or person's assets, makes it a crime to engage in any economic transactions with the designated entity or individual ... [via] PATRIOT Act authoriz[ation to] the Treasury Department to freeze assets on the mere assertion that an individual or entity is under investigation for potentially violating IEEPA.  [Using that same authorization] the government [can] defend that freeze order in court with secret evidence, presented behind closed doors, and not disclosed to the party whose assets are frozen."  Of historic interest: The IEEPA was enhanced in 2007 since Cole wrote this.  Enhanced being code for made worse.

Oh, shit, just give us the short take.  No one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
