It is interesting that under the old American Republic that 'law enforcement' officials were call Peace Officers. That is, they were to 'uphold and affirm' God's design for peace by upholding God's Law. The big clue to all of this was that early Americans took great pains to display the Two Tablets in American courthouses. Furthermore, early Americans knew their Bible and they knew that the civil magistrate was to be 'a terror to evildoers' just as it says in the Book of Romans. And so ... there was instrumentality in the civil state for a lawful 'vengeance is Mine says the Lord'. And so, justice was never to be on autopilot or on vacation in the civil administration of government. Hence vengeance was in law redress which can in some cases involve retribution exacted by sentence of punishment.

Thus, there are responsibilities demanded of Man in the maintaining of God's Peace under God's Law. It is therefore cause for lamentation that in a world now gone largely capricious and arbitrary, the product of an end justifies the means legal narcissism, the word 'responsible' is barely or not at all considered. Witness the Trump persecution fiasco current ongoing in New York.

And by the way, it may be added that the Trump Persecution writ large is an ongoing advertisement that the United States is Whack-O-Doodle Crazy, degenerate and not to be trusted. Not exactly top billing encouraging of further investment in the United States. Instead, arbitrary and capricious acts such as these are more fuel to the now raging fire of de-dollarization and Walk-Away. And I submit, the rest of the world is no longer walking away from the United States and its Woke Empire. It's now a full gallop run in the opposite direction. (Gold up today and over 2000. USD down. This is proof)

Never thought I would live in a 3rd world banana republic.

Same here ... and I can't say if its 2nd or 3rd or more. And I don't think it much matters. But if there is any doubt about it and the unthinking adolescent stupidity of it all, it's the non-stop train of failures across the board at all levels of thought and endeavor. The last straw as to doubts is this Trump trumped up circus. And I though Lawyer Childers said it well today.

I study financial stuff all the time. A lot of it has to do with restructuring. Clearly, the United States and its Marxist Woke Empire is irretrievably broke beyond repair. This means there has to be financial/monetary restructure. And the restructure cannot be another reiteration of what is killing us all. How it pans out I cannot say. But what is being done with de-dollarization abroad in the East (BRICS+) will to some large degree compel direction (redirection) in the West. And it won't be overnight. And there are apt to be fits and temper tantrums along the way. It will be interesting.

I'm betting that it cannot be the Great Reset, because that too would fail. They may try, but it just would only prolong the suffering. In the meantime, try not slip on any banana peels!
