Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the open corruption of our court systems, in the US and Europe, are proof we need a Numa, or fourth branch of government… a police of the elite. Judges sullying their own reputations, with their anti law rulings, are ruining centuries of effort in building trust in our courts. Trust lost is nearly impossible to regain. By their actions these corrupt judges are stupidly destroying the system itself. There are mechanisms in place to deal with corrupt judges, but they’ve failed. No one is seriously talking about impeaching judge Engoron, despite the severe damage he’s done to the NY economy and rule of law, and the NY supreme court isn’t punishing him either… so there are no consequences for destroying the entire court system, for a vendetta. That’s why we need a system that self limits.
The US court system used to be a paragon of fairness. Whether true or not, the courts had the trust of the people, which was and still is, the source of their authority. Authority comes from personal power, as Confucius put it. Respect comes from admiration. Stupid people think authority runs out of the barrel of a gun. Just as idiots think respect comes from fear. Power comes from a gun, loathing comes from fear, both result in a short life. Once someone, faction or group, gives up genuine authority for power, and respect for fear, you can be sure they’re stupid idiots. Any system that tolerates stupid idiots in positions of authority, deserves to lose that authority, and certainly will. Today the US courts have made themselves the laughing stock of the world. What are US courts good for? Playing ball.
Judges who openly defy the law, our Constitution, precedent, and even their own past rulings, prove the courts hand out arbitrary justice. Arbitrary justice isn’t justice at all but corruption. Corruption is proof of dishonesty. Judge Engoron and Willis’ open persecution of Trump, Guerra Gamble’s flaunting the law and our Constitution, McAfee’s naked bias in the Fanni Willis corruption case, the jan 6 judges persecution of people protesting for election integrity, the judges who took the Pontius Pilate route when confronted with the 2020 election fraud cases, etc… have utterly discredited the US judiciary. The open corruption of the courts, in cahoots with the DOJ, has exposed the US legal system to be a joke. To the whole world. How is a vulture like the DOJ? They both survive on corruption.
The entire political class, including judges, are at the mercy of permanent government, the national security apparatus. “Cross them and they have six ways to Sunday to get you…” Just ask Julian Assange, Edward Snowden or Donald Trump. The courts are one of those ways. The FBI tolerates corruption because it serves the FBI’s interest. The deep state and it’s national security apparatus has become our Praetorian guard. The power behind the throne, that encourages corruption in the elite, because that corruption puts a long lever on them. Who do you suppose has the Epstein tapes of elites molesting children? Do you think any elite on film is going to cross them? The dross floated to the top and now it’s polluted the whole society. Why are the elite so useless? Dross makes a poor caste.
Our system was supposed to self limit, but, as the founders themselves said, this system is fit for a righteous people and no other. That’s why an ideal system of governance would be self limiting… no people are virtuous forever. The elite for the last half century has set itself to creating a corrupt people, after themselves, so a system that requires virtuous people can’t function. Corruption has built up because… the courts, the bureaucracy and the politicians are unable to police themselves. That’s why we need a Numa, a constitutional branch of government, pitted against the government itself. Make the incentives to root out corruption and it will be done. Once leachate ponds, on the surface of your lawn, it’s time to dig up the sewer. We wade knee deep in it, and we’re getting sick, it’s past time… make government self limiting.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
