Yesterday, we looked at the incredible record of American politicians and government officials engaged in, and sometimes found, tried, convicted, and maybe punished, for abusing children (and others) sexually.
As we pointed out, such evil is not the only way in which those in power are committing evil deeds.
A correspondent of TPOL lists a lot of actions in which seemingly nothing is being done to provide justice both to the perpetrators and victims (or at least their families and communities).
She points out: “Whether it’s Epstein’s client list or the theft of billions of tax-payer dollars or a myriad of other national sins, these sores must be exposed so our nation can finally heal.”
A partial list:
- Russian collusion hoax
- Stolen elections (certainly the 2020 one, based on recent revelations; but we can also add 1960, 1972, and 2012 – oldies but baddies.)
- January 6 2021 (both sides)
- the Mar-A-Largo raid (and for that matter: Waco siege and destruction, and Ruby Ridge)
- Uncle Joe’s autopen scandal
- the Benghazi mess
- the failure of the DOGE effort
- the growing militarization and conversion of ICE as a national police force
There are many more, including this Epstein criminal enterprise – no one has been prosecuted as excuse after excuse continue to belch forth from DC. We might even wonder about the growing NASA Artemis II boondoggle. (At the rate they are going, perhaps the Artemis III mission will be able to land at a SpaceX and/or Blue Origin lunar spaceport!)
We can blame the deep state, we can embrace conspiracy theories like Zionism, the world Jewish conspiracy (Holy Blood, Holy Grail, anyone?), the House of Windsor, the Merovingian-Bourbon connection, or even the Ayatollahs.
But does not the real blame, at least in the United States and other so-called republican regimes, lie with the people ourselves? With our willingness to live with corruption, with injustice, with lip-service towards accountability and responsibility?
The Founding Fathers tried to establish a system that would prevent the injustice, the corruption, the incredible abuses which they were familiar with. Not just in the Old World: the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Portugal. Not just in other parts of the New World: La Nueva Espanya (Mexico), Haiti, Brazil. But in their own States: New York, Massachusetts, Georgia, and more. Petit and grand juries, the Bill of Rights, decentralized governments, and much more was intended to prevent the evils of government while preserving the independence of the new nations and the liberties of the people. Even the minorities when it came to elections and more.
They failed. And it was not a failure that manifested itself with the rise of so-called Progressivism and the administrative state of Roosevelt, Wilson, and Roosevelt. It wasn’t even the election of that corrupt shyster Honest Abe. In fact, it wasn’t even when George Washington marched out to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion. The corruption and problems never really went away. (See our recent commentary on the Danbury Connecticut case, for an example.) They could address the obvious things that instigated and facilitated government greed, corruption, and abuse. Matters like monarchs (at least unelected ones), a nobility, and star courts and such trappings of tyranny.
But they failed to address the true root of the problem: the power, resources, and temptation of human governments. So the parasites were left untouched. Indeed, writers like Boston T. Party have pointed out that the fingerprints of the parasites are all over the US Constitution: that it is a hologram of liberty.
Indeed, we should count our blessings when there are times that we actually see (or even enjoy) justice. As the old warcry goes, “There Ain’t No Justice!” (TANJ). (Larry Niven, Ringworld: ““Tanj!” The curse seemed more than usually appropriate. There Ain’t No Justice! That such a voice should belong to a two-headed alien of indeterminate sex!”
Or as Ecclesiastes 3:16-18 tells us: 16 I saw something else under the sun: In the place where justice should be, there was wickedness, and in the place for righteousness, there was wickedness. 17 I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked. Yes, there will be a time for every case to be settled before God.”18 So I said in my heart, “This is done so that God can test the children of Adam, so that they can see what animals they are if left to themselves.”
