Thank you to Martin Armstrong @ Armstrong Economics.
The bronze sculpture of Copenhagen symbolizes the corruption that has infected the entire world’s legal system. While this shows a starving African carrying the fat symbol of law with his tiny scales that were the symbol of justice, we have degenerated from the original Greek symbol of Justice – Themis, who is also known as the Lady of Good Counsel. She was a Titaness from ancient Greece, famous for being a much-used symbol of justice for she was the organizer of communal affairs. Her very name, Themis, means in ancient Greek – “divine law.” The Scales of Justice have been handed down through the centuries as her most important symbol in law. They were to demonstrate a pragmatic and balanced outlook in search of the truth. Since the 16th century, she has been depicted wearing a blindfold intended to represent impartiality.
[Note how some cultures and institutions carve the image of Themis: sometimes she holds the scales of justice between her fingertips. Sometimes with her whole hand. Sometimes her sword is resting with point touching the ground. Sometimes it is raised, poised to execute harsh, even lethal penalties, like an eye for an eye. Sometimes standing on a viper to conceal tendencies and reputations of law and justice as a form of revenge.]
Of course, we have degenerated from the principles of honor and justice. The antics of the mainstream press have been deliberately seeking to manipulate elections just as Hillary accused Putin when she lost. Currently, there are two lawsuits identical to each other. There is no honor left in media. CNN bragged how they were out to remove Trump from office. It has become fashionable to manipulate society to achieve a personal goal. In the process, they have destroyed the very fabric that holds a civilization together. We must accept that, for they have insured that the days of the United States are now numbered. There can be no return – they have burned all the bridges.
Edward Gibbon wrote of him:
Each “distinction of every kind soon became criminal. The possession of wealth stimulated the diligence of the informers; rigid virtue implied a tacit censure of the irregularities of Commodus; … Suspicion was equivalent to proof; trial to condemnation. The execution of a considerable senator was attended with the death of all who might lament or revenge his fate; and when Commodus had once tasted human blood, he became incapable of pity or remorse”
(Book 1, Chapter 4).
We too are attacking the rich just as Roosevelt did in the Revenue Act of 1935, 49 Stat. 1014 (Aug. 30, 1935) which imposed a 75% wealth tax, When WWII took place and FDR suddenly realized he needed the very people he was waging war against – Chrysler, Boeing, DuPont, and JP Morgan Jr. The conviction rate in US Federal Court has exceeded the notorious count of Adolf Hiter, which was 90%. The US has reached 98-99% thanks to prosecutors and judges who turn a blind eye and worship victory at all costs.
What is interesting is that there are two lawsuits that have been filed challenging the violation of the oath of office. The first one was filed by Loy Brunson and is still pending in the Utah Federal Court. The second one was filed by Raland J. Brunson and has made it to the Supreme Court of the United States – Docket #22-380. It will be interesting, to say the least, if the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case.
Both lawsuits include defendants Pres. Biden, Harris, former V.P. Pence, and 385 members of congress for breaking their oath of office by voting AGAINST the proposition (that came from members of congress) to investigate the claims that there were enemies of the constitution who successfully rigged the election. He filed ProSe in the Supreme Court.
This is an interesting argument, but it will be even more earth-shattering if the Supreme Court actually takes the case and rules on the validity of taking an oath of office. How can you support, and defend, the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic if you refuse to even investigate the claim?
Brunson sought the relief to have all the defendants permanently removed from office, and not allowed to hold public office again. While in the strict sense of the oath, that would be a reasonable expectation. But we no longer live in such a world of actual honor and justice for all. The problem has been the redefining of the word “justice” which is not “Just Us” with a totally different meaning.
