Dear Friends,
It seems to me, if pointing out a crime is itself a crime, then you live in a lawless society. A nation where law is a means to oppress the politically disconnected and loot the treasury. Law doesn’t promote societal harmony, alleviate cultural stress or facilitate commerce. In such places law is no protection. It’s only a threat. Moreover, where the government itself abets crime, that lawless government is engaging in arbitrary rule. A type of rule where laws are randomly applied. Why is such a government bad? Because it could change the law, but doesn’t, so that law can be used despotically against the politically disfavored. Even as it’s not applied to the politically favored. So instead of eliminating a law that’s largely unenforced, the law arbitrarily enforce it. Then make it illegal to point their hypocrisy out.
That election instructions are written in multiple languages is open abetting of election fraud. To pass the citizenship test one has to have a basic understanding of English. Legally, only citizens are allowed to vote, so by printing instructions and directions in mandarin, Spanish, Urdu, etc… is openly abetting vote fraud. By the very people tasked with preventing election crime. So, when the crime of fraud is that in our face, how can we have any confidence in their word… or an election? Why not pass laws allowing illegal aliens to vote then? Because they need the votes… but not the political backlash. Though, if you or I were to cover the illegal instructions, we would be charged with a crime, for preventing a crime. In other words, if we point out the crime, we’re charged with a crime.
For years the police fought in court to be allowed to film us anytime anyplace, including at home in private, while at the very same time, making it illegal to film a police officer even in public. Not only epitomizing hypocrisy… but showing the police themselves must be engaging in crime. Else they wouldn’t care about being videoed in public. If we accept the premise of every elite’s statement about the legitimacy of mass surveillance. IE, “If your not engaging in a crime why would you care if the police are videoing you?” You and I have no presumption of privacy while in public, or even at home in our bathroom, if we have a cell phone with us… but apparently, a civil servant expects total privacy even in public. Because, to expose a crime by a public servant is itself a crime, in Amerika today.
Arbitrary rule, or the random application of the law, is proof of a lawless society. Instead of changing the law so the politically favored aren’t effected by it. An unjust government will simply not enforce the law on the politically favored. Then use that same law to oppress the politically disfavored. So the law is a tool. A tool that doesn’t apply to everyone equally. Once this starts it only gets worse. Because those in power will exploit arbitrary rule to their advantage. Enriching those with access and closing the door of justice more firmly to those without it. Because arbitrary rule is the perfect tool to loot a treasury. Clean it out and pay off the guards, your cronies and keep the lions share for the corrupt elite. Leaving the people destitute. Enriching the corrupt though is only one result of a lawless society.
Using inversion we can discern which way leads us away from justice. For law to be the avatar of justice, one must not go the way Thrasymachus urged Glaucon and his friends. That’s going the opposite direction. Hypocrisy being the opposite of justice. As is arbitrarily enforcing the law. We need to avoid going the wrong way as we embrace the right way. First we need to stop tolerating the criminal abuse of whistle blowers. Pointing out a crime is a heroic act… not a crime. The criminals need to be investigated, charged and tried. Not those exposing their crimes. Why do you think the elite always attack the source of information rather than disprove charges? Because they’re guilty and arbitrary rule allows them to escape justice. Demand our lawless governments become lawful again.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
