What does the rule of law mean?, It means that everyone is subject to the law, that no one, no matter how important or powerful, is above the law.
I was reading another thread here, The American ruling class, and they seem to be pretty passionate about the law and their rights but they are insane so I thought I would share my thoughts on this issue here.
I will start with some of my experiences with "the law". I know many people in the oil and gas industry and countless who were arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) but none of them were ever conviced of anything, they served no jail time and paid no fines. How can this be?, well they hired the best lawyers they could find and their lawyers made sure they were never convicted of anything.
I found this hard to rationalize and still do however I don't think very many people understand the true nature of this problem concerning the law so I will expand on it. It would seem to me a lawyers job is not to represent the truth nor justice a lawyers job is to represent the best interests of their client... period. Now the people I know admitted they were not only over the legal limit but basically smashed and their lawyers knew this because they told them. So how do we rationalize this because it would seem to me the lawyers were paid to lie to the courts concerning the facts. They supposedly lied and knowingly misled the courts and the truth and apparently this is their job and we agree with it.
So we could assume that not only are some lawyers know lier's but also they are paid to misrepresent the truth on behalf of their clients. At which point I have to wonder why any sane person would possibly agree with and participate in a system which by it's very nature is corrupt. That is if the system is based on the truth and justice then why in the hell is anyone allowed to misrepresent it and to be paid to do it... it makes no sense. It is without a doubt the most ridiculous concept in the history of mankind in my opinion.
So I have to ask, if they are really seeking the truth and justice then why have they rigged the whole of the process. In my opinion they seem to have no issue with completely disregarding the law as in the case concerning the mayor of Toronto. To my knowledge he stated he never smoked crack then later stated he did but he was drunk at the time... he lied. Then apparently he admitted to not only being drunk but also driving drunk and yet no charges were ever issued despite his supposed admission to breaking the law on national television. I mean how much more proof does one need when the person admits their guilt on national freakin television?.
Has everyone completely lost their mind and at what point did the rule of law, the truth and justice become such a complete and utter joke?. If anyone was actually interested in the truth then why do they allow lawyers to misrepresent it?, why are the lawyers not being charged because obviously part of their job is to obstruct "justice" which is a crime.
Now what I consider to be the ultimate test, I hire a lawyer and tell him I broke the law and am going to trial and want him to represent me. He does and I am not convicted of anything and am free to go. I then hire another lawyer and state I told my former lawyer I was guilty and he misrepresented the truth and obstructed justice and I want to lay charges against him. Now how many lawyers do you think would take this case?.... none, I rest my case.
In my opinion nobody really wants the truth or justice because fundamentally it is not in "our" best interests. I think this is true because everyone speaks of the truth and justice but only so long as it doesn't apply to them personally or their best interests. It's always those other people but not us because we like not having to take responsiblity for our actions despite our claims to being a responsible adult. It is a sad state of affairs when the general population say's one thing yet believe's another then judges everyone else.
I have seen the truth and if anyone was actually interested in the truth or justice then we would develop a full-proof lie detector and if there were any doubts we would willingly submit to it but nobody wants to go there do they?.... that is the truth.
