Nobody Ever Gets Punished

We hear a lot about crime and malfeasance. We hear a lot less about punishment.

There was a story about President Eliot of Harvard. When asked what his primary task was, he answered nonchalantly, “To instill fear in the faculty.” While I did not fully appreciate his answer when I first heard it, I think that I am coming around to the former Ivy League president’s way of thinking.

Much of the news, if one still wants to follow the same, has to do with criminality. Whether it be the burgeoning theft of public funds in Minnesota or new data on apparent election fraud in 2020, we are constantly being presented with potential acts of illegality. And while I appreciate that it is far easier to accuse and condemn in the press than it is to build a solid case for a courtroom, there seem to be many people and organizations that simply slide through their criminal behavior, without any sign of being held accountable in the offing.

For example:

Tony Fauci: Dr. Fauci may have been an integral player in the gain-of-function work on the original bat virus. It would appear that NIH and USAID contributed tens of millions of dollars to the Wuhan Virus Institute in order to continue such research after President Obama banned it in the US. Dr. Fauci and his boss, Dr. Francis Collins, were driving forces in deflecting blame from the Wuhan center as the source of the deadly Covid virus. He gave the people false advice in the way of masks and distancing, and he was one of the forces behind the mRNA vaccines that have been implicated in many injuries, deaths and in Europe excess deaths, post-Covid. States have every right to indict Dr. Fauci, and his prosecution by the DoJ could be the test case for the auto-pen pardons. He conveniently was pardoned retroactively from 2014, when the gain-of-function testing moved out of the US and into other countries.

The Minnesota Twins: No, not the baseball team but rather Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar. The latter is accused of marrying her brother in order to gain citizenship while the former apparently presided over a multibillion dollar fraud scheme run out of the Somali community in the state. Omar has gone from refugee status (she never stops calling Somalia her real home) to a multimillion dollar net worth. Walz was accused of being involved in various fraudulent schemes and may be an integral part in the billions wasted on fake Somali companies and organizations.

BLM Riots: People died, buildings—including a police station—were torched and destroyed. The organization received hundreds of millions of dollars from corporate sources. Some of its leaders grew their real estate portfolio. Has anyone held accountable for the death/destruction/dishonest use of funds?

The 2020 Voting Crew: There seems to be a lot of circumstantial evidence of voter shenanigans in 2020. From video apparently showing multiple counts of the same votes to evidence that voting machines can be manipulated on site or from afar, there seems to have been a concerted effort to alter voting tallies, always for the benefit of Joe Biden and the detriment of Donald Trump. Is there not enough evidence for a single investigation or prosecution? Georgia just admitted to 315,000 improperly certified 2020 votes. There are reports of military ballots going 100 percent for Biden. Is there not a single case where the evidence and witnesses can shed light on all of those states that were in Trump’s favor and then over the course of several days magically went for Biden?

The J6 Fiasco: From Nancy Pelosi not authorizing National Guard protections to the 250+ federal agents in the crowd, from the J6 committee that destroyed its notes to the long jail time for parading in a public building—were no laws broken? Can the J6 committee simply destroy its materials or get away with tampering with a witness who testified under oath? Did the feds present in the crowd that day whip up peaceful protesters into entering the Capitol illegally?

Adam Schiff: While the cases against James Comey and Letitia James were thrown out on highly technical grounds, why hasn’t Adam Schiff seen a grand jury indictment? He apparently was involved in the same type of mortgage fraud as was James, namely falsely claiming a property as a primary residence when it was not. Also, he has been accused of leaking classified material to the press to harm President Trump.

The California Fires: Why was the main reservoir empty of water? Why wasn’t the original fire completely contained? Was there any criminal negligence before, during, or after the events that caused thousands to lose their precious homes, with no building in the near future?

I am not a lawyer and never even played one on TV. I am sure that putting together an airtight case in any of the above subjects is not trivial. But one has to be very careful. Not punishing the guilty is like one-handed clapping. People look at public figures associated with potential wrongdoing and see them in their pools or on their private planes. The regular folks start to think that justice ends if you make over $500,000 a year. If there is no punishment or attempts at bringing indictments, the people will give up on the system. Additionally, Americans in the outer stratosphere of wealth or power will conclude in a Helmsley-like fashion that laws are only for the little people. Hilary ran her public business on a private, hackable server. If any lower official did the same, he would be making license plates in the local penitentiary. Fauci and friends misspelled words and did some of the country’s business on their Gmail accounts in order to avoid Freedom of Information Act searches. If they are not prosecuted, every crooked bureaucrat will do likewise.

I previously mentioned the book, “The One Hundred Year Marathon”, that describes China’s intensive efforts to steal, lie, misdirect, and destroy markets in order to overtake the US as the world’s biggest economic power. During the read, I came across the efforts of the World Bank, whose economists told the Chinese that they would help them develop a program that would keep the socialist aspects of the CCP intact while using subterfuge and mercantilism to push China over the U.S.. The World Bank’s main office is in Washington, D.C. The efforts of its economists to not push China towards great political openness with its economic growth led to the unemployment of millions of Americans and the drug death of thousands. The U.S. holds the largest voting percentage in the body. I would drop all support for this organization and throw them out of the country. The World Bank was supposed to use funds provided to China to help it develop economically while also encouraging an opening of Chinese society. Instead, it worked stealthily to ruin the US. Every “world organization” is organized to work against the U.S. and its interests. UNRWA was the civil branch of Hamas, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is high time for the US to leave all such organizations, including the UN.

One does not have to win every case, but it’s important that cases be filed in the event of public malfeasance. The people have to believe that the system is impartial and public figures need to understand that there is a federal orange jumpsuit exactly their size. When punishment does not exist, then criminality grows and public belief in elections, voting, democracy and We the People tanks. If the system does not work, people will opt for a different system, and the transition will not be pleasant. It’s time to clean up the mess of the past decade. It’s a public obligation.
