43. Well that’s putting it nicely; it even has the affect of giving them the benefit of the doubt?
But then, what would we be looking at if we were really cynical and pissed off at what these people are doing in our name, while claiming it is for our benefit? Well I guess we could say something like; these criminals are conspiring to commit and conceal crimes against humanity, and the only questions we need to ask before deciding their punishment is… Are they accessories before the fact, or are they accessories after the fact?

Of course none of this really maters does it; after all, when and if predators find themselves the lawmakers amongst a superpower empire, they can deem such activities selectively legal, and the prerogative of those who represent the State, i.e. themselves, this way such things become legal for some while remaining illegal for most! After all, this is what a pretend democracy is all about! Right?
