Putin Complains Again about US Lawlessness

May 10, 2007 10:35

The idea that an emergency justifies extreme measures was one that America's founder's were familiar with and warned against. James Madison wrote in Federalist no. 48, 332--38, that in a democracy, "tyranny may well be apprehended on some favorable emergency, to start up in the same quarter."

Exceptional circumstances "not foreseen" is the diktat to break the constitutional contract and defy every god given right and liberty. When a covenant does not have restoring penalties enabling it to resume after a breach, it is completely cancelled. Both parties are free.

Putin repeated previous warnings that America is closely following the pattern of Nazi Germany. "They are only transforming, changing their appearance. In these new threats - as during the time of the Third Reich - are the same contempt for human life and the same claims of exceptionality and diktat in the world."

Americans are deluded into believing that saving life is the highest possible moral authority, and therefore justifies any measure to accomplish that end. They use this doctrine in every matter and invoke images of safety, security, and the children.

It is a foolish moral doctrine propagated from churches whose mission was to save lives and souls. What they always omit is the unpleasant reality of a god who judges entire nations for their theft, murder, oppression, and corruption of peoples. The Russians know a little about that; they were enticed by Bolsheviks with promises of land "redistribution" and forfeited their lives. The Marxists butchered the Czar, a pious man with no more sense than any politician, but far better than the ones who murdered him and his family.

Saving life is important but is not the highest moral authority.

Putin is right. The depravity of Americans is evident to the rest of the world when they see a government that lies about every incident from the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, to "TWA 800 overheated and blew up", to the Oklahoma City bombing by a lone JFK style "nutjob" (their favorite word), to WTC 7 got too hot and fell flat down! They also saw them butcher the Davidians for a $200 tax.

Bush should pay attention. If Putin merely believes that Bush is capable of attacking any nation and lying about the reason, then he has to decide when to push the button to pre-empt a depraved government's attack on himself.
