Law

Law is a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions. It shapes politics, economics and society in numerous ways and serves as a primary social mediator of relations between people. Contract law regulates everything from buying a bus ticket to trading on derivatives markets. Property law defines rights and obligations related to the transfer and title of personal (often referred to as chattel) and real property. Trust law applies to assets held for investment and financial security, while tort law allows claims for compensation if a person's rights or property are harmed. If the harm is criminalised in a statute, criminal law offers means by which the state can prosecute the perpetrator. Constitutional law provides a framework for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political representatives. Administrative law is used to review the decisions of government agencies, while international law governs affairs between sovereign nation states in activities ranging from trade to environmental regulation or military action. Writing in 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle declared, "The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual."

Common Law vs. Civil Law

Legal systems of the world:      Civil law      Common law      Bi-juridical/mixed (civil and common law)      Islamic law (Sharia)

Michael A. Hoffman II explains on page 13 of in his book "Judaism's Strange Gods" that the United States system of jurisprudence (common law) has degenerated from courts that ruled according to God's law (civil law), to courts that make the law through previous judicial interpretation of case law (precedent) under the concept of stare decisis, "to stand by decisions and not disturb the undisturbed". Precedents typically come from higher courts showing an example of the lower what to do. This is entirely Talmudic and reflects the subversion the American nation. "The growth of Talmudic Law, in all its aspects, was for the most part, the work of judicial interpretation rather than of formal legislation... The judge served in effect as a creator of law and not only as its interpreter...".

The contrast from common law is civil law, which does not work through precedent, and would only base itself on previous legal decisions (stare devisis) when there are a series, of many, many such similar rulings in the past (jurisprudence constante) rather than one or two. Jurisprudence constante also is not based on a higher court's ruling telling a lower court what to do and can instead have a higher court be influenced by hundreds of the same court decisions that lower courts make. However, that is civil law and in common law jurisprudence constante matters little; for example, the Louisiana Court of Appeals has explicitly noted that jurisprudence constante is merely a secondary source of law, which cannot be authoritative and does not rise to the level of stare decisis.

The US legal system examples

The founder of Lavabit, Ladar Levison, explains here how the US legal system works. The government makes a demand from a court order, then they choose to interpret it in a way it doesn't represent, which they'll later deny, but everything that happens since comes from the extra demand. Due to a trick in the law, Levison had no right to a lawyer. So Levison has to track down a specialized lawyer which takes a long time and at his expense which is very high. He then is told with short notice he has to show up in court thousands of miles away instead of his home town, and at such short notice his lawyer cannot come. If Levison didn't come, he'd be arrested and brought to court there staying in jail. So Levison had to start the whole process all over again. Because the whole case was under seal, he couldn't even admit to anyone who wasn't an attorney that he needed a lawyer, let alone why. The court then banned his lawyers from consulting outside experts and even prevented his new lawyers from reading the transcripts from the previous court appearances in his home town. Then a crooked judge gave him a contempt of court charge when he was not scheduled for any court time and was away from court so could not object, and then crooked appellate court upheld it on the grounds that he was not in court to object it. And the US supreme court never cares about contempt of court charges. With the crookedness of the legal system bearing down on him, he had no choice but to shut down his company for good.

In another example, Richard Paey, is a wheelchair-bound, paralyzed old white man who regularly gets doctor-prescribed painkillers. A busybody pharmacist told the police he gets too many pills and so a SWAT team raided his home like robber-terrorists, destroying everything inside. They came in the middle of the night wearing black ski masks holding automatic weapons. His door remain destroyed so looters could steal anything in his home after he was taken to jail. He then received a 25-year prison sentence with a fine of $500,000.00 despite breaking no laws and having a clean criminal record. Ironically, once he was in prison, they were fine feeding him even more painkillers and hooked him directly to a morphine pump, which he could never get in the outside world.

In 1986, a white woman by the name of Barbara Pelkey was raped and murdered. The evidence at the crime scene was that the sperm, fingerprints, and hair were all dissimilar to Kenneth Ireland's. However two false witnesses lied and claimed they saw the white man Kenneth Ireland do it and a third falsely said Ireland admitted to doing the crime. Two of the witnesses collected a $20,000 reward for putting an innocent man behind bars. There was a trial and Ireland was found guilty. Only after a special group called The Connecticut Innocence Project began to review his case was he found not guilty, in 2009, after 21 years falsely imprisoned. The real person who did it was a black man, Kevin Benefield.

Canadia's legal system

The corrupt legal system of Canada rules that farmers whose crops are destroyed from cross-contamination of GM foods must pay hundreds of millions of dollars to Monsanto, even if less than 1% of a crop is contaminated farmers no longer own their seeds or plants. Even though the farmers are the victims and Monsanto attacked its victims with thugs.
