A lawyer wrote a book
Three Felonies a Day
where he outlines that he can follow anyone around for a day and find that they have committed three felonies.
So, the above essay is no joke.
You are not an innocent person who has nothing to hide,
you are a wanted criminal who just hasn't been caught and processed yet.
If you read the Gulag Archipelago, you will see, and understand better, that the accusation when you are innocent is even more damaging.
Today, the news talks about "rape culture", when actually there is a false rape accusation culture. Men, go to court because their wife is suing for divorce and get accused of rape and assault. And, "huh?" is not an adequate answer.
I was actually going to mention the book. I see you beat me to it.
Well, post it again!
It needs more posting! Because there are people who still believe:
"If you are innocent, then you have nothing to hide."
If you have nothing to hide you are not living in a civilization and you don't have a life. Privacy and private property are cornerstones of civilization.
I have been told about this life thing. Do you know where i can get one?
Is the reason i don't have one because you have to steal it? :-p
Yes, privacy and private property are the cornerstones of a civilization.
And their defense is what made america great. And their defilement is the reason The US is now dead.
You are born with it, just don't loose it.
The essay I link also provides the author of the quote you mention here: Josef Goebbels, the Nazi Propaganda Minister.
Telling, isn't it?
The work you cite is indeed mentioned in the essay I link.
I agree with all you have said here.
Thanks!
The modern West is not the Third Reich, or the CCP. In the West, the law serves to limit both the enforcers and the enforced. Even the worst criminals are accorded a trial, prior to their execution. Legal procedures and rituals actually carry weight on the West, in comparison to the totalitarian states of the East, where legal process is understood to be mere formality. As long as legal procedures remain relevant, it would be difficult to institute the type of state control preferred by our masters. Sadly, the West has recently embarked on a trajectory to marginalize legal procedures and rituals. Legal framework is a double-edged sword that can cut not only the enforcers but our masters as well.
It's also worth noting that the officials that hunted Frank and others were not circumventing or corrupting their laws -- they were following them.
Today in the 'West' we take for granted that it is a crime to possess or sell certain recreational drugs (but not others). As a result the 'Land of the Free' has the worlds largest incarcerated population in absolute terms.
We lock up our own citizens at 7 times the per capita rate as the regime in China that we are quick to call a brutal and totalitarian human rights oppressor.
Our cops are as certain they're the "good guys" as the nazi's cops were.
In order for the Third Reich to have accomplished their agenda, a massive legal framework, first, had to have been established - the Nuremberg Gesetze. Legislation and enactment of such juridical scheme involve virtually every segment of sociopolitical matrix. Philosophy, science, and theology must construct a framework, within which any legislation can be rationalized and justified; judicial bureaucracy must expand to encompass categorization and processing of the newly created criminal elements of such legislation; finance and commerce must adjust to operate within a legal reality that excises a significant portion of hitherto productive and profitable members of society; the foreign office must establish propaganda divisions that deflect international criticisms; repurposing of the education bureaucracy to perpetuate the rationalization of such legislation into the next generation; consolidation of media apparatus to silence opposition and criticism of said legislative intent and consequences; etc. In other words, the Third Reich did not sprout from aether; it formed as a concentrated and intense effort of a fairly significant portion of the post-Kaiser German society. Even with all massive expenditures in resources to maintain their legal legitimacy, in the end, the NSDAP resorted to extra-judicial killings by the SS bureaucracy to "resolve" their social problems.
The job of the police is to retrieve interested persons for the judicial bureaucracy to process. As long as there is a judicial bureaucracy and a legal framework, then the subjects of the legal inquiry has access to protection of the laws. In the Anglophone world, the presumption of innocence is a priori granted, under its legal framework, to those subjects of interest, resulting in the state bearing the burden of proving the guilt of the accused. I challenge you to find such legal principle in any other place in this world, be in Oriental despotism, Eastern absolutism, Marxist drivel, Arab theocracy, or African tribalism. Those in the West who complain of oppression, seem to lack historical and geopolitical context.
Ho hum. The U.S. already has a massive legal framework and no one is claiming that it arose from aether, only that it does what it does. No more. No less.
One thing it definitely does do is incarcerate millions of people who do not belong in prison. It does this through a process that is lawful. That does not make it right.
There was a fully functioning judicial framework in place when DEA officers left innocent man Daniel Chong locked in a cell for 5 days. There was a functioning bureaucracy in place that decided these men who had acted with extreme indifference to human life and fundamental decency would not only escape prosecution — but also remain policemen.
Those who do not recognize how oppression can operate in the context of the vaunted legal frameworks of the west lack either imagination, direct experience with those systems, or both — lucky them!
Western sheeple bandy around words like "oppression" and "tyranny" without ever having experienced such in three generations. The Western lunacy of a sociopolitical organization built upon fleeting whims of the ill-educated, over-emotional rabble, whose only belief system consist of poorly defined concept -"freedom" - would be laughable, if it is not so toxic and dangerous to the collective well-being of the human race. The only aspect of the West that has prevented these ignorant muck from eating each other is its legal/juridical matrix that governs both the enforcer and the enforced.
The West has clearly defined legal limits for certain behaviors within its sociopolitical sphere; those in prison, regardless of the number, have violates these clearly defined laws and have been processes through established legal rituals and precedents dating back to time of Cato. It was only when the ignorant muck revolted against their betters did the West experience lawlessness and the destruction of juridical procedures. The West, having been thoroughly infiltrated by the international Marxist revolution, only parrots the slogans of their would be new masters, while demanding the dismantling of the Western juridical process that serves to protect their well-being.
When the your Oriental Marxist masters in the CCP fully co-opt your Western societies, you will wish for the current "oppression" by the Western sociopolitical elites. "Freedom" is a nonsense catchphrase for the ignorant to commit mass suicide.
Not anymore. Since 1913 the IRS has thrown the burden of proof on the accused, and now there is only lip service (in America) to a presumption of innocence, as the USG can simply--legally--assassinate even American children not accused in any way of any crime at all, at will.
The USG now enjoys the presumption of, well, not innocence, but right to do as it will. There are still cases brought to the bar, but most criminal matters are simply plea bargained by prosecutors using blackmail or other pressure (such as threats against loved ones) to coerce guilty pleas.
The US obsession with taxation is fascinating. While I intellectually understand that the US rebels were upper class mercantile and agrarian clique discontented with His Majesty George III's government imposing reasonable excise tax upon colonial imports, this curse of anti-tax sentiment that continue to persist within the US society is something odd. It would only seem customary for subjects to render unto their masters the dues owed, as a tenant would render unto their landlords their rent due; it is a concept so prevalent that even the Western God advised to pay the taxes due Caesar. Paying taxes due US government, since supposedly, the US government is "elected" and "selected" by the sovereign people seem to be the one duty all US citizens would flock to fulfill.
If indeed, the US polity has jettisoned the central principle of their legal system - innocence till proven guilty - then the US polity has joined the long list of totalitarian regimes. Prevalence of legal framework and rituals separate the Western culture from the rest of the world. It is quite sad that the US decided to forego their Western heritage; without juridical avenue of conflict resolution, all societies will resort to obtuse violence to resolve their differences.
Plea bargains ought to be an affront to all Western citizens and subjects, as it serves to marginalize the juridical bureaucracy that exists to serve the subjects and guarantee the privileges granted by our masters. Such perverse behaviors by the US juridical authorities seem to be a direct consequence of judicial overload from the misbegotten US "drug war." Any sensible monarch would have ended such ludicrous social policy generation prior, but the brittleness of "democracy" allows for perpetuation of failed sociopolitical projects.
Empires go through an evolution prior to their destruction and replacement. Amongst the final efforts to flow benefits to the elite are death squads, ritualized cannibalism, and various oppressive techniques to keep the disenfranchised paying the costs of the franchise.
Technology is altering the particulars of the methods, but the general effects on the hoi polloi are consistent between extant empires and what archeology reveals of past imperial collapses.
What I find most interesting is the new mechanisms society is acquiring via technology to obviate empire altogether. Whether these means are availed presently, or millenia hence, matters only to us as individuals.
Physics potentiates technology, and eventually (failing extinction) we will escape the cycle of imperial evolution and institute a new paradigm.
Perhaps, as that diaspora eventuates beyond terrestrial limits, we will discover it has happened before.
While there is much truth in your comment, this is not true. It is presently unknown how many American citizens have been indefinitely detained (amongst others) or assassinated by the USG. It is known that at least 4 US citizens have been executed without trial, or even any charges being filed. At least one American child has been deliberately and intentionally assassinated by drone strike without even any characterization whatsoever as a terrorist, or of any criminal act at all.
The west has the best court system money can buy, and those that would be masters generally can afford it. But rarely are the laws applicable to those with substantial financial assets.
Thanks!
