The Gangster State
The defining feature of gang life is personal loyalty trumps all else. This is true for low level street gangs, as well as complex organized gangs. The rules are not written down or agreed to by consensus. They are imposed top-down by a group of men loyal to one man and to each other. The head of a drug cartel has lieutenants to enforce discipline on those down the line. The rules within those groups are similarly enforced by lieutenants loyal to the guy in charge of the group.
The effect of this is a chaotic lawlessness. The punishment for the exact same transgression may be wildly different in two different cases. It all depends upon the relationship between the boss and the offender. While all criminal organizations have rules against betraying confidences, there is no fixed rule on the punishment, despite what you see on television. Baltimore gangsters rat on one another all the time to get better prison terms, with varying consequences.
Consider what we are watching with our government. News brings word that the US Attorney is dropping charges against the terrorists who went on a rampage during the inauguration last year. They announced this on a holiday week, so it would get the least amount of news coverage. Now, they certainly could have looked into who financed the riot, who helped organize it and then went after the shot callers, but they never bothered to do any of that. Instead, they dropped the case.
Now, we have mountains of laws for dealing with criminal groups. The Feds could go after a Lacy MacAuley, who details her activities on-line, in order to figure out who pays her rent. Then they could go after that person or group. This is basic police work. At the very minimum, the people financing these terrorists would know they have some exposure, but that never happens. You see, everyone knows who finances Antifa and other terrorists operations.
Here is another example. Peter Strzok is the focus of a serious criminal conspiracy to subvert the last election. A mountain of evidence pointing to his guilt has been in the public domain for a year, yet he was just recently fired from the FBI. He has not been charged with anything and it appears he will never be charged. In fact, he is now telling Congress he has no intention of testifying. In fact, he is not going to show up. Their silly laws no longer apply to people in his gang.
Again, this gets to the way in which gang life operates. There may be rules, but what matters is who enforces the rules and to whom the rules are to be applied. In this case, the wide-ranging criminal organization known as the Democratic Party will never let their people get punished by the Republicans. Those rules about complying with a subpoena from Congress only apply when the gangsters with power can enforce them and they will only enforce them when it suits their interests.
This becomes more obvious when looking at the whole criminal enterprise that is currently called the FBI. There is no question that the people at the top engaged in a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy to spy on the Trump campaign and engineer a criminal investigation of his administration, for the purpose of removing him from office. This is so obvious that no one bothers to deny it. Instead, the game is to avoid discussing it in public and pretend it never happened.
Lurking in the secret FBI files can be only three possibilities. One, there is proof they cooked the whole thing to help get Hillary Clinton elected. The other is some out of left field explanation for the mountain of data, that points to an innocent motive. The final option is a massive hole in the system where the damning proof used to exist but has now been destroyed as part of the cover-up. To date, the FBI and DOJ refuse to comply with Congressional subpoenas to answer this question.
Again, we are back to the gangster model. The people inside these agencies have a primary loyalty to the gang, not to the laws of the country or the alleged institutions charged with promulgating and enforcing the laws. In gang life, you are first loyal to the gang and that’s what we see with this case. Rod Rosenstein was sent to Congress in order to deliver a threat. In a prior age, Devin Nunes would have found a black palm print on his door.
Of course, that seems to be what has happened to Representative Jim Jordan, who is now having to answer questions about a sex scandal from 30 years ago. He was an assistant coach at Ohio State, when another coach supposedly had homosexual relations with some of his players. The liberal media is running with it, because they are told to go after Jordan. The reason? Jordan went after Rosenstein at a hearing and his gang did not like it.
You see, Ohio State hired a law firm to investigate the matter. That law firm is named Perkins Coie, a mammoth firm with global operations. Coincidentally, they were the law firm at the heart of the phony dossier the FBI used to get secret warrants on the Trump campaign. Perkins Coie was the Hillary Clinton campaign’s firm, and they hired FusionGPS to put together the fake dossier, then gave it to the FBI, the media, and scoundrels like John McCain. It is not hard to connect the dots here.
What appears to the rest of us to be corruption and lawlessness, is actually the natural functioning of gang life, in that everything revolves around who is enforcing the rules and against whom they are being applied. The first and only question anyone cares to answer is “how is this good for us?” Everything follows from that answer. The people in the DOJ and FBI are only concerned about what is good for the gang. This is gang life and this is life in the gangster state.
