The Double standards of those who always want double helpings

While the United States represents about 4.2% of world population, it houses around 20% of the world’s political prisoners.

 As a result of the 2021 January 6^th fake insurrection alone, 650 people were charged and 120 people were jailed despite there being no evidence of violence on their part in all but two cases.

Robert Scott Palmer, who wore an American flag sweatshirt emblazoned with Trump’s name during therally, was sentenced to five years in prison for spraying cops with the contents of a fire extinguisher. The presiding Judge in his case – a Barack Obama appointee – alleged, “The Capitol attack was not a protest but a violent attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power, causing destruction, death and injuries both seen and unseen”. That’s an utterly bizarre melange of hearsay and agitprop, coming from a senior member of the US judiciary that still flatly refuses to investigate some 274 cases of dubious 2020 POTUS election regularities.

Five years for emptying the contents of a fire extinguisher with zero damage to any of the cop targets he largely missed.

Two years later, convicted paedophile forty-two-year-old Bryan Shay Lang from Accomack was handed a non-custodial probation order for violating sex offender registry rules. Shay already had three 2012 convictions of taking indecent liberties with a 15-year-old girl, each of which also earned suspended sentences.

So it’s OK in the United States if you’re a serial sex-pest kiddie-fiddler….but not if you’re protesting against what you suspect were 2020 POTUS ballot irregularities that a woefully negligent judiciary chose not to investigate.

It’s a rather odd sense of priorities is it not? But then, Joe Biden showered inappropriately with his daughter for many years, and he’s the President. So maybe such anomalies aren’t that surprising.

But here’s an interesting angle on that ‘US judiciary that still flatly refuses to investigate some 274 cases of dubious 2020 POTUS election regularities’.

No matter which candidate wins the US presidential election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump would face one similar – and curiously ironic – reality: very few real opportunities to reshape the federal judiciary will exist for the new Administration.

During eight years in power, Biden and Trump appointed over half of all 890 life-tenured federal judges nationally. So without some major viral outbreak of volte-face, nothing much is going to change when it comes to electoral fraud investigation.

I’m tempted to hope that some obscure CDC White House advisor might demand mandatory vaccine jabbing of the entire US Judiciary against a WHO newly discovered/invented disease resulting in recorded low voting levels among Republicans, Dead-Eyed Ballot Ignorance Trauma [Debit].

But then, I’m not holding my breath on that one.

Across the Pond in the UK, British free-speech site The Exposé reminds us yet again of how liberal fascists are burrowing deeper and deeper into the fabric of First World liberty.

Army veteran Adam Smith-Connor [left] has been at the centre of a controversy for almost two years surrounding his silent prayers within a “buffer zone” for an abortion clinic in Bournemouth, England. Yesterday he was found guilty…..

But guilty of what?

It seems that in October 2022, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council introduced a Public Spaces Protection Order (“PSPO”) in the vicinity of the BPAS abortion clinic in Ophir Road, Bournemouth. The Order designated a “safe zone” around the clinic, within which it is prohibited to engage in protest related to abortion services and other specified activities.

In November 2022, Smith-Connor was spotted behind a tree on a green in a public space about 50 metres from the entrance of the BPAS abortion clinic. He was approached by Catherine Brookfield, a council officer, and accused of engaging in an act of disapproval of the work of the abortion clinic.

She asked him to move on as he was within the buffer zone and acts of “prayer as disapproval” were prohibited by the Public Spaces Protection Order (“PSPO”).  He refused as he said he was praying for his deceased son and for the women, men, and children still being impacted by abortion today.  [He is still haunted by the decision he and his then-partner made to abort their unborn child 24 years ago].

“You are telling me that silent prayer is banned in this area? I’m praying in my mind and not approaching anyone. I’m entitled to pray silently for my dead son in a free country,” he said.

On 13 December 2022, he was issued with a £100 fine for breach of conduct and threatened with criminal action if he did not pay it. Smith-Connor did not pay it, and launched a legal action against the fine.  His lawyers at the Alliance Defending Freedom UK (“ADF UK”) made submissions arguing that the state had no power to restrict thoughts directed towards God.

In July 2023, the police informed Smith-Connor that praying silently was not an offence in England and the council dropped the threat of criminal charges against him.  But the fine was still due.

Finally yesterday – eighteen months further on – a court found Smith-Connor guilty of silently praying within an abortion centre “buffer zone.”

“The Court sentenced Smith-Connor to a conditional discharge and ordered him to pay prosecution costs of £9,000. A conditional discharge is a type of conviction that means Smith-Connor will only be sentenced if he is convicted of any future offences in the next two years,” ADF UK said.

So there you have it, folks: now they want to turn your mind’s contents into a criminal offence.

(Major hat-tip to Irish Slogger Carmel McCormick for that one)

Across the Channel now to la belle France, alleged home of ‘liberty, fraternity and equality’. That 1789 war-cry has, shall we say, been wearing a little thin since the election of self-styled ‘centrist’ Banker-to-NATO Warrior Emanuel Macron [pictured left with good fwend] several years ago.

The latest instance of judicial bias there concerns the ludicrous prosecution of right wing politician Marine Le Pen [on charges of alleged fund embezzlement] and the action’s ability to ruin any chance she has of defeating Macron in the next Presidential election due to take place in 2027.

If found guilty, Le Pen and her co-defendants could face up to 10 years in prison and fines of up to 1 million euros each. Additional penalties, such as the loss of civil rights or ineligibility to run for office, could also be imposed, a scenario that would definitely hamper and probably destroy Le Pen’s goal to mount another presidential bid after the end of President Emmanuel Macron’s term. Le Pen was runner-up to Macron in the 2017 and 2022 presidential elections.

I would contend that the above paragraph gives us a blindingly obvious view as to why this case is being brought into Court in the first place.

It’s just one more act of a First World faux-free speech “democracy” behaving like a Third World banana Republic cliché

I disagree with several of Le Pen’s political and global assumptions, but the Truth is that she is a highly-trained legal professional battling against a Cancellation State miles above the law. As such – and for no other reason than that – I see her as worthy of support.

Macron is applying State power to cripple a political adversary. To use the French vernacular, il est un con.

What more does a person need to know?

And finally, a doggerel sheeep sign-off….

Chasing sheep in the shadow of death

I saw Satan look me in the eye….

He said “Kid you look kinda outta breath

but there ain’t no shepherds passing by,

‘cos shepherds work for me these days –

they shear and slaughter all the sheep

and prod the herd in myriad ways

and teach ‘em fifty ways to sleep”
