System Of Abuse

If the checks and balances that are in place to protect us from abuse of authority are not secure enough to protect us from an x-convict who is given authority, then they are not secure enough to protect us at all.

By restricting positions of authority to those without a record of irresponsible behavior we only foster an illusion of non-abuse, while at the same time establishing a system ripe for abuse by those who are more adept at getting away with it, if not more prone to do it.

The officials in the position of authority are the ones most deceived by this illusion, since it promotes their self image of being a “good guy”, even as they routinely engage in abuses that would make most criminals look like kind hearted idiots.

For all its worth, the system itself spends almost all of its energy defending the illusion of protecting society. A significant portion of this effort goes directly and indirectly into propagating the very threats it then pretends to protect us against.

The saddest part of this insanity is that it is well documented and has been expounded upon by numerous people since the system was born thousands of years ago.

But, the system itself is a master of deception, which means it can evade the truth better than any master illusionist. Even its ability to deceive so many and keep people generally blinded to any attempt (such as this blog) to expose the truth, has been written about in incredible detail. But its defenses are seemingly impenetrable.

Seemingly.
