So, whether we're talking the suspension in application of God's law by a dispensation from the Pope, or a similar waving of the magic wand done by the President in excusing... whatever... for whomever... crimes against the people that might not have been done, but certainly are excused in the name of "national security" ? It would just be too upsetting if people knew the truth ? Election fraud is a similar issue... a long time conspiracy operated by both parties to deny it exists... because it would be "destabilizing" and could get messy if people didn't believe our elections were spotless anointments enabled by the God-like hand of destiny operating, obviously, only through the expressed will of the people... instead of what it really is... If you want to preserve the utility of your finger on the scales... whether in elections or in justice... it will not do to have the finger be too easily seen... It's not that hard to study election fraud... and figure out how it works, who does it, and where it is most easily seen... and be there to observe it happen... which I've done a couple times already... The denials... a lot like those of a guilty housewife... trying to explain away the many visitors and the household budget exceeding income, while also growing a large surplus in cash... A complicit media... is a first necessary... if you want to suppress public awareness of the nature and extent of corruption... Fox... as all the others... a team player ? The issues that matter most are probably not the ones that both sides talk about openly and disagree vehemently about... for public consumption... but the things that neither will touch with a ten foot pole. When's the last time you saw big news about a corrupt judge being trapped in a sting ? <crickets chirping> There is no corruption in the courts... because the side with the big corporate money always wins... or the side with the mass in political backing wins... but, the "little guy" never wins against the other two ? And, the same binary outcomes in law... mirrors the rest of the binary in our system... Our officials pledge "support and defend the Constitution"... yet, a Supreme Court Judge can give a lecture in which she denigrates it to a foreign audience... and no one cares ? How many people are a part of the system... who don't believe in it at all... and act on what they believe, rather than what they swear in oaths ? Most of the hard left... probably most Democrats in Congress... swear falsely. Election fraud ? Nah. We're too good for that... Ever see any media talk about what national socialism is... and why we shouldn't let ourselves be led down the path that has us become Nazi's ?
