Speaking of "due process" and the presumption of innocence turned upside down - to the literal presumption of guilt put upon individuals and entire nations - the degradation of the West, the Western judicial system, the turning upside down of fundamental principles of justice, truth and righteousness, is all on full display by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the USA, Britain, and also ("of course") NATO, in this Novichok redux with Navalny. (If Navalny got -actually- poisoned with Novichok, that tells us Navalny was an expendable puppet literally sacrificed for the interests of the West by his Western handlers; it is more likely it is simply another full hoax, and that he was not poisoned and has in some way hoaxed this "poisoning".) The "most generous" view of German Chancellor Angela Merkel in this instance, is that she is either blackmailed, or in some other way compromised - pointing the "presumption of guilt" blame finger on Russia to create this media spectacle, is in no way in Germany's interests, and the (alleged or actual) poisoning of Navalny is in no way in Russia's or Putin's interests. Similarly for the other foreign ministers who "weighed in" to accuse Russia and "demand answers" blah blah blah. Compromise of some sort is within those who conduct themselves in such evil ways (public accusations, presumtpion of guilt, demands for "immediate action" blah blah blah). And similarly for the head of NATO, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, must, logically, likewise be either blackmailed or otherwise compromised. You don't sell your Soul for no reason... How is it that one can make such assertions (that Merkel, Stoltenberg, etc have sold their Souls) in such confidence? The evidence is before us: when a Western diplomat denies to a foreign government or denies to foreign officials, their right to be presumed innocent, and denies them their right to due process (to be presented the "evidence" against them, to assess and refute that evidence), then it is clear that we are witnessing evil, despotism, an inversion of justice and the opposite of righteousness. "The West" is supposedly built on principles of justice and fairness: due process, the right to a fair hearing, the right to be presumed innocent until otherwise proven guilty, the right to be not slandered publicly, and more. The reality, for whatever reasons, is that Western diplomats (who these days are mostly anything BUT diplomatic, let alone righteous), sacrifice righteousness, sacrifice justice, and presume guilt without presentment of evidence, and they do all this on the alter (from the most generous possible interpretation) of political expediency. This sacrifice of righteousness and sacrifice of justice (supposed "Western" principles), is evil. We are witnessing evil in action. So, we witness evil actions, we witness evil words, and we suffer evil consequences. We are witnessing these precise actual evils, in the current hoax of Navalny's hoaxed (or possible actual but no less indicting of the West) poisoning with "Novichok". And because we witness each of these inversions of truth, righteousness and justice, and we witness these evils, and these evils are done by Western diplomats, we can see that "our" Western diplomats have become evil in their conduct. And so "our" diplomats, our "leaders", are in fact a blight upon the West, a blight upon us, a curse which we must remove. It is sad for the West that "our" "leaders" conduct themselves in such evil ways, speak such evil words, and treat our Russian brothers with such evil. The inversion of justice, the inversion of righteousness, the inversion of truth - all these things are evil, they are abhorrent to the plain thinking man who seeks righteousness, truth and justice. The most generous possible justification of this Western evil, is "mere political expediency". Political expediency is the most generous interpretation we can make of these evils. In every case, this evil conduct by our Western "leaders", is abhorrent. This evil behaviour, implies hidden forces and implies compromises unseen - possibly blackmails, possibly enticements (money, power), possibly merely base greed and opportunism, possibly combinations of these evils. By God Russia has the right to protect her interests in the face of Western evil! In the face of the many evils of the West, we pray and pray again that Russia does indeed protect her interests! May the Russian people be released from their Western constitutional chains. May the Russian people be spared further Western evil. The interests of the West, of us all, includes most fundamentally, the upholding of righteousness, the upholding of truth, and the upholding of justice. We must rid our nations and ourselves of the evils within. We must drain the swamp.
I am presently writing submissions in reply for a case in which the right to be heard (in a court case) is being demanded (by the team I am on, against the state), and it looks particularly challenging (read, low probability of success) due to the entrenched statute law which is quite explicit in this case. Nonetheless, in this case, the question must be asked (something like "when there is both a law and a regulation, each allowing the self represented person to appeal on an issue of "was due process afforded", and he chooses the law but did not know the regulation, but the law denies an appeal whereas the regulation allows it, should that self represented person be denied his right to rehearing just because he did not know the regulation, but the law section he chose by default says 'if you use this section, you don't get a rehearing'?").
