Complexity hides corruption; simplicity exposes it
American Thinker ^ | 08/22/2021 | Joe Strader

Politics hide corruption in complexity. Congress passes bills of thousands of pages and the implication and damage are hidden until the effects are made part of what must be dealt with on a daily basis.

Our legal system has become a corrupted labyrinth of exclusions and exceptions with confusing motions filed by both sides as cases move through the system. The final judgments make us scratch our heads wondering how they came to a judgment. We do not know because the process is so complex that only one with special knowledge can understand how the judgment was reached.

The battle against COVID-19 has become a battleground of complex ideas ranging from treatments banned for political reasons to a vaccine that may be the salvation of humanity or a death jab that will kill more people than the virus. Between the extremes are governments and businesses using force or coercion to get people to get the vaccine. There are competing and confusing reports about how well masks work, the perfectly exact distance to socially separate, and whether the entire hunkering down in isolation is effective.

We are bombarded with numbers and statistics that do not make sense. Cases are counted without a clear definition of what constitutes a case, we count positive tests with a test that is unreliable enough that it will not be used after the end of the year, and deaths with COVID are counted along with deaths from COVID.

It is confusing for a reason. The complexity hides what they are doing or the results they are trying to achieve. People generally do not have the time and inclination to wade through complexity to discern the truth. Most will just muddle through, accepting what seems reasonable and just trying to make their lives livable.

In a different way, you can see this in the Marxist/Post-modernism discussions in which the Left explains how they are superior to us.

It mostly is explained by the post-patriarchy praxis and the underlying societal infrastucture, driven by a matrix which combines post hyper-colonialism as well as Marxian delineation of the anthropological basis for transformation of sub-societal policies.

Now, you may not fully understand the nuances there, but basically: the Left is right, you’re wrong.

In his book, People of the Lie, M. Scott Peck says that if you feel “confusion” then you are experiencing evil.

Confusion equals Evil.

A system of laws that incorporates the rulings and opinions of judges who are still alive, or who have been dead centuries, is not Justice. The Courts do not exist to interpret law. They are there to see if it stands on protecting the Constitution. The USSC should be a boring chore, but it is not thanks to “precedence”. It reminds me of the Hebrew religion. They have the actual words presented by Moses and great scholars of old, then they have this same “precedence” in another book.

The Law that is just, must be simple, for the same reason this opinion piece lays out. Mucking it up serves only one purpose, to deceive.

Who are the Deceivers in this world? Politicians and Lawyers.

PS, we know who they get their inspiration from...
