Dear Friends,
It seems to me, one knows they live under arbitrary rule… when double standards are as obvious as they are common. Everyone knows the elite are not held to the same standards as regular people. The elite get away with things that would land you or I in jail the rest of our lives… and they get us to pay for the non disclosure agreements to hide their malfeasance. When a faction of the elite themselves are held to the same standard as a regular person, while another faction is clearly not held to any standard whatsoever, no reasonable person can argue that law is being equally applied. Madison, in the Federalist Papers, called such a situation tyranny. Now that it is clear that the application of law depends on the criminal’s political affiliation, no reasonable person can conclude we have justice.
Holder was proven to have lied to Congress in his testimony about Fast and Furious. That scandal was largely covered up by the media that calls itself unbiased. In it, the Obama “justice department” not only allowed guns to go from US gun shops along the US Mexico boarder, into the hands of violent drug cartels, but forced non complying gun dealers to go along. Then blamed the violence in Mexico on those gun dealers! It was only discovered when a US boarder agent, Brian Terry was murdered by one of those guns. The whistleblower who alerted the non traditional media about this scandal was fired by Obama. Holder lied about it to congress and was censured, rather than punished criminally like Roger Stone. This, on the face of it, is a clear example of a double standard.
Hillary Clinton not only had a secret server in violation of longstanding security rules, it has come out she did it to avoid freedom of information. When her illegal server was discovered she destroyed subpoenaed evidence and lied about it. She claimed under oath, there was no secret information in the destroyed emails, it has since been discovered that many of the destroyed emails were indeed, top secret. Moreover, her server had an app that forwarded every email she received… to some G mail account associated with a Chinese company. Obviously, they have access to the top secret emails that are denied Judicial Watch, because they are too dangerous. The FBI covered up for her and she to this day faces no criminal charges for any of it. Compare her treatment to that of Roger Stone.
The IG report on the Russian collusion hoax, suggested former FBI director McCabe be charged with perjury. Another former FBI director, James Comey, has since been found to have lied about leaking classified documents to the press. You or I would go to prison for a very long time, were we to do this, and Julian Assange is charged with a similar crime, but the “Justice department” refused to charge Comey, saying it would be vindictive to punish him… even though Comey vindictively abused his power to political ends. In the Ukraine, a DNC operative named Chalupa, enlisted the help of foreigners to get dirt on Trump, and that was the origination of the Russian collusion hoax. Compare the treatment of DNC collusion with Ukrainians… to the hoax conspiracy theory about Trump.
These examples are but the tip of a vast iceberg of corruption and double standard that is played out before our eyes every day. When the laws are so obviously arbitrarily applied, only a zealot or a fool cannot see it. Arbitrary rule, another name for tyranny, oppression, despotism, etc… but what is the character of a creeping despotism that is never spoken of? Roger Stone faces three years in prison on a process crime that was fruit of the poison tree. Those who actually abused their authority to create the hoax, colluded with foreigners to effect an election, lied about it, and covered it up, face zero penalties. Oh, Barr is supposedly having John Durham investigate it… but given the past precedent, the likely outcome is more lies, cover ups and malfeasance… very progressive.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
