Dear Friends,
It seems to me, those who are above the law are always claiming, “No one is above the law!” Even as the democrats were violating law after law, they were going after Trump, even creating a false document to justify a special council investigation. Without consequence to them. Shouting, no one is above the law, all the while. When clearly, they are. If only the democrats could get Trump on something they are proven guilty of, he would be toast. When the powerful lament the weak must be punished, outside of precedent, law and sanity, they are exposing their own malevolence, arrogance and lack of self awareness. No one is above the law… except those who use that verbiage.
Arbitrary rule can never be law, it is something else, something sinister. It masquerades as law but is a perversion of it. Bastiat talked about this trend in his book, The Law. the thrust is, the powerful will pervert law into its opposite for their own benefit. Instead of preventing theft, the law steals, instead of preventing fraud, the law is fraudulent and instead of holding all equal, the law holds some are more equal. Such “law” is merely arbitrary rule for the benefit of those who rule. Law, as it was understood since man emerged form a cave, has been to stop theft, fraud and hold all equal. In order to insure the well ordering, operation and maintenance of society at large.
Machiavelli said a wise prince lies constantly while claiming to be the most honest person who ever lived. He went on that people believe their ears and not their eyes. So if a despot never tells the truth, but claims to be honest, people will believe their ears that he is honest and when confronted by their eyes with his lies, they will default to their ears and discount the obvious lies as a misstatement, mistake or their eyes lying. This allows a wise prince to manipulate people to his will. The tactic has worked amazingly well for the progressive faction. If you look, it is hard to find an whole truth in anything that comes out of our leaders today. They lie constantly to us while exploit criminal law for perjury traps.
Misdirection is best practiced by Magicians, used car salesmen and despots. Misdirection compliments lies, in their ability to manipulate us into self harm… for the benefit of the powerful. You know, those who are above the law. When someone who is obviously above the law is using law to crush the weak, that is their favorite phrase. This outsider has the audacity to stand up to us elite and so we are perverting law to make an example of him. The elite are as far above the law as the sun is to the ground. Otherwise Eric Holder would have been subject to the same treatment as Roger Stone, Kevin Clinsmith to Scooter Libby and Hillary Clinton’s actual campaign finance crimes to Trump’s frames.
When someone claims, no one is above the law, when they are obviously above the law, they are using misdirection, Machiavellian manipulation and are practicing arbitrary rule. While the FBI had not one but two Biden lap tops filled with incriminating evidence, and a diary… they went after Trump. In 2016, the DOJ charged one partner in a lobbying firm with not registering as a foreign agent, but not the other. The one a democrat the other a republican, which one do you think was charged, and which one was above the law? They were Podesta and Manafort. Unequal application of the law is not law, it is using law as a political weapon. only the lowest immoral scum does such a thing.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
