And people wonder why I'm so goddamned<br>ascetic in other places on other blogs...<br><br>I use to have a love affair with jurisprudence but generation after generation, year after year, has taught me that as an ideal justice is a noble thing, but that the reality - the reality that is common to most of us wherever we live - is that the institutioons of jurisprudence are completely corrupted, completely bankrupt<br><br>the exceptional advocat is exactly that - exceptional - & the hired gun 'professionalism' of a lawyer is by far the more common route - even amongst the most gifted & unfortunately especially amongst the most gifted<br><br>I simply cannot bear all the googoo baabaa talk at firedoglake on 'the law' and the other blawgs - it is that babytalk we hear so often in the university cafeterias - the law is not neutral - it is not above the actions & questions of human affairs & like its sister journalism it has become completely subsumed by its own internal necessities & 'values'.<br><br>I do not now believe that that law can redeem anything except the most basic & accidental causalities<br><br>as i have sd here before In other places- it was what was happening on the streets of America that created real civil rights - real justice at least as they existed<br><br>the 'law' has become for me an integral element of the 'institutions of fear' - this becaem very clear when the West began in an onslaught to criminalise resistance - whether that was irish republicans, whether it was trade unionists, whether it was in silencing public advocates - this criminalisation for example in commonwealth law which led to the deregistering of militant unions & now of sacrificing their exmembers to work practices & conditions that rival anything in the late 19th century<br><br>Justice, justice might exist perhaps, but not jurisprudence... American justice is nothing more than hypocrisy hiding behind law. Revenge is not justice, which is what our courts have become. A kangaroo in a circus surrounding a lie. <br><br>America has reach the backside of the event horizon of organised, institutionalised corruption and fraud on every level. Where protection rackets, embezzlement, larceny, confiscation, entrapment, misappropriation, and rico crimes, as well as murder have become the norm; by bullies, fraudsters, pervert soul sick class elites, politicians with their sykophants*, lobbys, lawyers of the Kelptomania class who run everything. An entropy litigation nation where truth is treason, justice is a mockery, and liberty is for sale to the highest bidder, where action of the State, arising from suspicion and not from proof, has degenerated into the satisfaction of vendettas by a "coin-operated congress", a "blue-blooded-aristocratic Senate" and finally, a power hungry blood thirsty executive branch- hiding behind Natinal security, a general system of tyranny, all in the name of "public safety."<br><br>The general public means nothing to them, we have been and are being, carved out like a pumpkin, the seeds spit in our faces, while they laugh at our poverty. "The essential political choice is the same as it always was: "freedom or security" nor, is the blame entirely with the warmongers, plutocrats, and demagogues.<br><br>If a people permit exploitation and regimentation in any name they deserve their slavery. The law has always been perverted to serve the "haves" and not the "haves-not", only not always as heavy handed as it is now. We have made progress in the recent historical past with "the New Deal", labor unions, civil rights, and the constitution. Only within the last few decades have the ruling elites pushed back, with their hatred of liberal democracy. What once existied in ancient Athens - now hold sway in America and UK, (it's transatlantic and trans-national now ) where powerful and corrupt individuals, organizations and corporations are routinely using threats of vexatious and malicious litigation to bully and oppress ordinary innocent and working class people.<br><br>Coercion seems to be covering-up greater crimes committed by these individuals / organizations. Their corrupt misuse of Law takes the form of restraint of trade and prevention of free speech, eminent domain, tax cuts for the top 1%, hidden fiat/poll-taxes, KGB style surveillance, money laundering in off shore bankings and usury interests and loans. A covert Military indus pharm entertainment complex. All nothing more than hypocrisy, hiding behind law.<br><br>Take for instance, What Congress Does Not Know about Enron and 9/11.<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.john-loftus.com/enron3.asp">www.john-loftus.com/enron3.asp</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br> I'm sure you could come up with hundreds of other examples but make no mistake, "the Class War" has shifted and started a dramatic new phase of Supernova proportions with The Rise of Rove's Republic. And the one thing that todays "New America" has in common is the elite stranglehold on Politics, medicine, law, policing, media, bureaucracy etc. where, they are all "self-regulating". <br><br>Further, and not so coincidentally, all these 'trades' tend, more or less, to control their own incomes at the top levels. [i.e. the fat cats decide their own].<br><br><br><br><br>*SYKOPHANCY - "Generally, sykophancy has been viewed as an "inevitable disease" that plagued a society "where the chances of perverting justice were so numerous because of the character of the courts" (Lofberg 1917, 10).<br><br><br>Of interest? <p></p><i></i>
