AMERICA'S SYSTEM OF JUSTICE -- A BROKEN SYSTEM
By Christopher G. Adamo
AMERICAN JUSTICE AS A DARK MYTH: HOW AMERICA'S POLITICAL LEADERS ALTERNATELY UPHOLD & IGNORE "THE
LAW" IN A HIGHLY SELECTIVE & SELF-SERVING MANNER -- POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM, LIBERAL HYPOCRICY, & THE LEGAL
DOUBLE STANDARD OPERATING TO FURTHER THE SUBVERSIVE ENDS OF AMERICA'S POLITICAL & CULTURAL LEFT
FULL STORY:
In Florida, based on the testimony of one man, a defenseless woman is
starved to death. His “evidence” was so flimsy that it normally would be
insufficient to uphold even a parking ticket. The judge who nonetheless
concurred and ordered her starvation is so mired in conflicts of interest
that he should have been automatically recused from the case.
Yet, the Governor of Florida, whose job it ostensibly is to protect
citizens from being deprived of life, liberty or property, absent due
process of law, stands impotently by and allows the travesty to proceed to
its malevolent end, claiming that intervention on her behalf would be
contrary to “the rule of law.”
Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy
Berger receives an absurdly mild fine and no jail time for a crime he
committed against the American people. Last year, Berger was caught stealing
and destroying documents from the National Archives. Those documents
contained crucial classified information pertaining to lapses in national
security during the Clinton years that left America open to the Islamist terrorist attacks of
9-11.
Destroying evidence of problems that increased the nation’s vulnerability to
terrorism can only undercut efforts to correct the situation, and thus
constitutes nothing less than a treasonous abetting of al-Qa'ida’s sinister
agenda. In consideration of the gravity of his actions, the imposition of a
mere ten thousand dollar fine on Berger makes a mockery of American justice .
Adding insult to injury, Berger’s security clearance has been rescinded for
a period of three years. On what basis do government lawyers believe that a
man who could commit such a heinous act will miraculously be rehabilitated
by then? In truth, Berger’s clearance will be reinstituted just at the
proper time for him to be qualified to hold office if a Democrat takes the
White House in 2008.
Despite the nature of Berger’s crime, little is being said by Washington
insiders in condemnation of him. Furthermore, the light sentence was based
in part on Berger’s assertion that he didn’t mean to hide or suppress vital
information.
So where does the U.S. federal government go in order to clean up the widespread
corruption in its midst? Recurring discussion of campaign finance “reform”
legislation provides a disturbing answer. Despite the best efforts of
Senator John McCain (R.-AZ) to “clean up politics” by imposing restrictions
on the free speech of American citizens, the 2004 election cycle saw the
advent of “527 Organizations,” so named for the tax code provision under
which they exist.
The most prominent players in the election were “Moveon.org” -- the spawn of
Liberal billionaire George Soros -- and the “Swift Boat Veterans For Truth,” the latter
comprised of former Vietnam veterans who disputed John Kerry’s accounts of
his “heroism” while briefly stationed in Southeast Asia.
That the vast wealth which Soros poured into his organization could not
compete with the facts put forth by the Swift Vets, operating on a comparative
shoe-string budget, clearly disproves McCain’s assertion that the political
process is corrupted by money. Yet, it is not money, but the flexing of political
muscle by the unwashed peasantry, that McCain and his elitist cohorts in
Washington despise.
President George Bush, while supporting campaign finance “reform” and avoiding
criticism of Berger, has finally become aware of activities by Americans
that he is willing to condemn in unequivocal terms.
The “Minuteman Project,” made up of concerned U.S. citizens who are
frustrated with governmental inaction in response to the uncontrolled
invasion of illegal immigrants from Mexico, has begun patrolling a portion of the American/Mexican
border. The group hopes to thus stem the flow of illegal aliens passing
through that region.
South of the border, Mexican gangs have threatened the Minutemen, in an
attempt to intimidate them. Not surprisingly, the ACLU is “monitoring” the
Minutemen, essentially fulfilling an identical role.
The Minutemen have been roundly condemned by Mexican President Vicente Fox .
With considerable indifference to the sentiments of the American people,
President Bush refers to them as “vigilantes,” thereby deriding their
efforts as something less than honorable. In deference to Fox, President
Bush will not even characterize the Mexican and other invaders as “illegal.”
How can this nation’s government be so accommodating to a massive influx of
people (including many from terrorist supporting nations) in clear violation
of the law, while excoriating decent Americans who do no more than protect
their nation from the invasion? How can “the law” be alternately upheld and
ignored so selectively? Clearly, “justice” in America is fast becoming
nothing more than a dark myth.
