U.S. justice system isn't blind, its rigged
Hey Department of Justice
(DOJ), Hey FBI (FiB), we don’t
trust you. You’re corrupt to your
very core. You target conser
vatives, trying to find crimes
while ignoring blatant crimes
committed by Democrats. You
proved your corruption again
last week with your unprec
edented (and illegal) raid on
Mar-a-Lago, President Trump’s
Florida home. Oh, you
had a warrant so that
makes it legal? The
Soviet Union always said
the same. For years, the
DOJ/FiB have targeted
Trump because he’s a
threat to them. You spied
on his campaign
(in 2016), tried
framing him
with non-existent
crimes (Russia
collusion hoax), continued spy
ing on him after he was elected,
and spied on him as president.
The FBI must go.
Justice should be blind. Lady
Justice is shown wearing a
blindfold to represent the im
partiality of the law; that regard
less of one’s position in life, the
law would be applied equally to
everyone; that the law is objec
tive, giving no preference based
on gender, race, or creed. Sure
mistakes are made (after all,
were human) but the American
justice system is the most fair
in the world. That’s what we’ve
always been told. Until recently,
I believed that as well.
Blacks have long disagreed,
insisting that justice was ad
ministered differently to Blacks
than to Whites. For a century,
Blacks were correct. Look at
the countless prosecutions of
Blacks on trumped up charges
such as “whistling at a white
girl.” Blacks would frequently be
found “guilty” of a crime by an
all-white jury, despite the defen
dant’s rock-solid alibi and zero
evidence against him. Just as
egregious were the many times
that Whites, who
committed crimes
against Blacks, were
seldom charged; or
if they were, found
“not guilty” despite
overwhelming evi
dence of guilt. That
unequal justice
helps explain
why many
Blacks shouted
for joy when
O.J. Simpson was found “not
guilty” of murder (1995) despite
overwhelming evidence that he
killed his ex-wife and her friend.
Those shouts were because
a black man had beaten The
Man. After witnessing the DOJ’s
different and unequal justice ad
ministered to President Trump,
conservatives, ands Republicans
than to Dems and liberals; I un
derstand why Blacks considered
the justice system rigged against
them. It was.
The DOJ’s and FiB’s recent
actions have opened my eyes.
I now see why Blacks were
outraged by the justice system.
American justice isn’t blind. The
system’s rigged, not along racial
lines but along political ideology.
The DOJ has a two-tiered justice
system - one system that targets
and is onerously harsh on
Republicans and conservatives
while being lax and protective
of Democrats and liberals. This
unequal justice has been in place
for at least 10 years but has got
ten much worse since President
Trump’s arrival.
A recent survey by the Tra
falgar Group found that 79% of
Americans believe we have two
tiers of justice - one system for
politicians and D.C. insiders and
another system for everyone
else. The belief in unequal
justice holds true for Dems
(67%), Repubs (88%), and
Independents (77%). Unequal
justice is not just in law enforce
ment, it’s everywhere - every
major institution is aligned to
empower the Democrat regime.
The entire federal bureaucracy,
media, academia, Big Tech, Big
Pharma, and the military are
fully aligned to keep Democrats
in power.
It’s easy to understand why
79% think the system admin
isters unequal justice - Stacey
Abrams claims her 2018 elec
tion was stolen and is allowed
all over social media; President
Trump claims his 2020 election
was stolen and gets a FiB investi
gation and silenced on social
media. Hunter Biden commit
ted multiple felonies which are
completely ignored by the FiB.
The 2020 “summer of rage”
riots were executed by BLM and
Antifa, supported by Dems, yet
go uninvestigated. Crime is out
of control in dozens of Demo
crat cities; the FiB and media do
nothing. Since Biderfs inaugura
tion, he has ceased enforcing the
border and millions of illegals
have poured into the U.S.; the
FiB does nothing. 100,000+
Americans died of drug
overdose in 2021, largely due
to fentanyl smuggled across the
Mexican border and nothing is
done or said. And following the
Dobbs decision that overturned
Roe v. Wade, dozens of pro-life
pregnancy centers have been
systematically vandalized and
destroyed; and the FiB refuses to
investigate.
With all those crimes to
investigate, what did the FiB do?
They raided President Trump’s
home, with 30+ agents, on a
bogus “looking for classified
documents” witch hunt. Seized
documents include those pro
tected by attorney-client privi
lege. Get this; the media praised
the raid as a victory for justice
despite the judge who signed
the warrant being staunchly
anti-Trump. Meanwhile, Hillary,
while Secretary of State, set up
an unsecure internet server,
transmitted classified informa
tion, and destroyed 30K classi
fied documents and cell phones
that had been subpoenaed. She
knowingly broke the law but
her home wasn’t invaded by 30
agents, and she wasn’t pros
ecuted.
But we have a Constitution
with a Bill of Rights that guar
antees equal treatment under
the law. Hahaha, how naive;
even the old Soviet Union had
a Bill of Rights. Those docu
ments are only as good as those
willing to abide by, adhere to,
and enforce them. Biden, his
DOJ, and the FiB are trampling
on the Constitution. The Biden
administration has become an
authoritarian regime similar to
historically oppressive regimes.
Think of the Soviet regime or
the Nazi regime - governments
that controlled every aspect of
society. Today, the Democrat/
liberal/Leftist Regime controls
every aspect of American soci
ety. Hollywood and entertain
ment - controlled by Dems and
Leftists; academia and universi
ties controlled by Leftists; Big
Tech, Big Media, the DOJ, intel
agencies, and the entire federal
government are controlled by
Dems and Leftists; Wall Street,
Big Sports (NFL, NBA, MLB,
etc,), Big Labor, the military,
United Nations, and NATO are
all controlled by Leftist global
ists. Name one institution NOT
controlled by Dems and Leftists.
Lavrentiry Beria, Stalin’s
ruthless head of the Soviet secret
police, famously said, “Show me
the man and I’ll show you the
crime.” He meant that a crime
can be trumped up and pinned
on anybody. No crime was
necessary; simply tell him who
needs to be eliminated, and Be-
ria’s secret police would charge
him with something, thus
eliminating all opposition. Since
Trump’s arrival, the Democrat’s
DOJ has gone Beria. Democrats
are systematically silencing
and eliminating all opposition
using the full force of the federal
government, the media and
all institutions. Opponents are
labelled “domestic terrorists”,
silenced, investigated, surveilled,
and targeted. If you’re not terri
fied by such tactics, you’ve never
studied history.
Final Thought: Meanwhile,
our Warnock and Ossoff sit
in dumb silence and voted for
87,000 more armed IRS agents.
