The Illusion of Justice and the Reality of Control
How the System Operates Beneath the Surface
The way the courts and the government interact is a spectacle of control, not a function of justice. I haven't seen the courts correct any behavior that was an overreach by the government—behavior that caused harm and destroyed people's lives. The government has never admitted it was wrong because, frankly, no court has ever forced it to. This lack of accountability points to a system where the courts are not the people's courts; they are the government's courts, there to run cover for the government and do its bidding. This entire structure, from the courtroom to the Parliament floor, appears to me as a giant psychological operation and a control structure.
The Courts and COVID-19: Deferring to "The Science"
During the debates regarding the government's behavior during COVID, the government's constant refrain was to defer to "the science". The problem is, the courts never actually examine that science. I haven't seen a single case where someone was able to challenge the government on the science in court. The courts simply take the government's word on the science, no matter what it allegedly is.
The Fake Science and the Lack of Fair Hearings
It's astounding to me that you never get a chance to have a fair hearing in court or a hearing on the merits, no matter how much evidence you have to contradict the fake science the government keeps promoting. You can't cross-examine the material or the state witnesses. This denial of a genuine legal challenge is, to me, clear evidence of a system that is unwilling to be held accountable.
The Incestuous Relationship: Government and Judiciary
You have to understand the deeper alignment. The courts are the government's courts. Why? The government pays the courts; all federal courts' money flows through the federal government. It's a simple dynamic: why would you ever bite the hand that feeds you? This provides a powerful incentive for the courts to constantly side with the government.
Beneath the Surface: Lawyers, Judges, and Politicians
The alignment is even stronger beneath the surface. Many lawyers become judges, and many lawyers become politicians or get entwined in politics. This creates an incestuous relationship between the government and the legal system. The government’s enactments require teams of lawyers to draft legislation. This connective tissue ensures that the loyalty lies with the system, not the people.
Legislation: The Complexity of the Drafts
To enact a bill, it takes specialists with a "special legal mind" to keep track of the clauses and enactments. If you actually read one of these bills, you'll find it's often titled one thing, but the body of the text reveals a far more complex and hidden reality. This makes the bills effectively illegible to a regular person, or even a non-specialist in law.
Redefining Language in Statutes
When you go through a bill, you realize the wording is deliberately abstract and complex. You have to look up almost every word because the language has been redefined by dozens of other statutes. A word you see in the bill means a different definition referenced elsewhere. It's not a straightforward document by design.
The Stealth Amendments to Existing Acts
Here’s where it gets truly insidious: the other half of a bill is often filled with amendments to 50 to 100 other statutes. A bill with one name will contain paragraphs amending parts of the "XYZ Act" and many others. It's a cross-cutting operation
The "Windows Update" Analogy
The process is like a Windows update. You click to update one thing, but the entire system is being updated in little, tiny chunks all over the place. These amendments are spread across all the statutes and acts, making it incredibly difficult to keep track of the overall changes. You’d have to look up every other referenced act to understand the context of what’s being changed.
The Illegible Bills and Uninformed Votes
The actual bill being voted on in Parliament is almost illegible because of this constant referencing and amending. Most of the people pretending to be members of parliament never read the statutes they're voting on, and if they did, they'd have to read 20 or 30 other statutes just to deal with all the crossways amendments.
The System Banks on Apathy
The people running this system are banking on the fact that only one out of 10,000 people will actually care about what's going on. Everyone else is too focused on the basics—roof over their head, food, clothes—to be concerned with the intricacies of legislative updates. If you're not aware of how the system works, you'll just believe what you see on TV.
Parliament: Theater and Spectacle
The debates in Parliament are ridiculous compared to the reality of what's happening. It’s all spectacle and theater—not real debate. The speeches are "made-for-TV moments" and social media sound bites, where politicians read off scripts. They are merely playing their role, moving the "magical dial" one way or the other, disconnected from reality.
The Machine of Public Opinion
The whole system is a machine that generates the appearance of public opinion. This is effective because, due to years of government propaganda through state-run schools, the average person is a follower. They are lemmings with a false sense of superiority, all the while being ridiculous slaves.
The Fear of Reality
Most people can't see this reality because they don't want to. To see it means they'd have to believe it. To believe it means they’d have to do something about it. And to do something about it means they’d have to get out of their comfortable zone and deal with reality, which is a scary thing for most. The system continues to operate as it’s meant to—tickety tick, tickety poo—while the majority remains willfully ignorant.
The system, as I see it, is built to obscure, control, and ensure that the government is never truly brought to heel by the courts. Through intentionally complex legislation, a tightly aligned legal and political class, and parliamentary theater, they maintain the illusion of democracy while insulating themselves from accountability. The greatest defense of this system is the apathy and fear of the average person, who would rather remain comfortable than confront the reality of their political control.
