President Obama’s Thumb on the Scales of Justice

The United States of America doesn’t have illegitimate kangaroo courts like Canada. These travesties are run exclusively for the benefit of designated minorities, but the US has a very serious problem. They have elected a President that has no compunction in publicly pre judging a case involving a white policeman doing his job when a well known and well reputed citizen, who happens to be black, lets his preconceived notions of racial discrimination cause him to lose his temper.

Imagine! President Barak Obama; Commander-in-Chief of the Armed forces; the chief executive officer of all the political and legal systems of the United States of America and the nominator of Justices of the Supreme Court, apparently feels no obligation to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law of the United States of America. The President, by not refraining from commenting on the actions of an officer sworn to enforce the law and by pontificating adversely on the behaviour of that officer, even to the point of insulting him by calling his actions “stupid,” based on the evidence he himself acknowledges is incomplete; effectively interferes with the rule of law itself. Talk about putting the thumb on one side of the scales of justice – and a very BIG thumb at that. We know President Obama talks a lot and people with that proclivity, especially politicians, are prone to put their foot in their mouth. Fair enough, we have to forgive and forget when words are sometimes “misspoken.” But, President Obama now says he can’t understand why all the fuss is being raised about his comments. The President is a USA trained lawyer for heaven’s sake and a good one at that, according to his law school credentials, surely he cannot have misspoken. Unfortunately, the result is that he has now given many “racialized”* people license to abuse justice in similar fashion. He must be curbed by public outcry and that is why the strong public reaction to President’s unpropitious remarks. * “Racialized” is a newly minted term used by officially designated minorities who feel that they will always and forever be discriminated against by their fellow majority citizens who happen to be various shades of “white.” A term now very commonly used in Canada by minority group advocates. Even more inappropriate are his actions, as reported today and as discussed by the President in telephoning the police officer involved and further interfering in a case that may well go before the courts. Can’t he or his supporters and even the media even begin to understand the abuse of justice here? Will Obama see fit to interfere in future cases where his friends may be involved? Will senior and powerful politicians begin to feel it alright to make public pronouncements on specific cases that may or will be going before the courts? Does the USA not already have a mass media that publicly tries people coming before the courts for newsworthy alleged heinous crimes? Why would the President compound the problem of warped justice? The USA’s Future – Canadian style Kangaroo Courts? In Canada, the Prime Ministers; Premiers and Members of Parliament decided to establish Kangaroo Courts all across Canada to interfere with our English Common Law justice system and pretend that it is a hands-off system independent of their governments’ control. President of the USA or Prime Minister of Canada, justice goes down the drain and our freedoms and liberties suffer by such interfering legal effrontery. Strangely, a very similar case in that weird Canadian country to the north of the USA has just had a decision rendered by one of its kangaroo courts, euphemistically known as a “Human Rights” tribunal. This decision is about as injudicious and corrupting of the rules of justice as President Obama’s precedent setting and unwarranted remarks. In both cases (in the USA and Canada) it was a case of a black citizen in an upscale housing area claiming unfair racial profiling. The USA case involved a police sergeant responding to a call phoned in by a neighbor involving what appeared as a robbery in progress, when a witness had seen what was thought to be a black man struggling to break into a neighbor’s house through the front door. In the Canadian case, a policeman patrolling a similar upscale neighborhood was attempting to prevent possible break-ins; not unusual for the area. He noticed a black person checking out houses in the area and followed him. He politely asked for his identity. His identity as a postman was verified by a fellow white postman. There was no altercation or harsh language. The man later took his case to the Ontario kangaroo court tribunal system and levied a complaint that he, a black person had been racially profiled and stopped solely because he was black. The kangaroo court judge ruled that there was no evidence of “overt” racism but said the case was “confirmation that systematic discrimination was often something of which people were unaware and it requires hard work to get rid of.” He was found guilty of racial profiling. The police force and chief is also being charged and will appeal. The idiocy of the case is that the Chief of Police is probably the hardest working chief the City (Toronto) has ever had in terms of focusing on good race relations and working with so-called marginalized communities. Readers should understand that no common rules of justice operate in these so-called human rights tribunals. There are no rules of evidence. The truth is no defense. The accused cannot challenge his accuser. There is no law against racial profiling in the tribunal system because there is no way to define it. However, a tribunal may declare it or any other claimed discrimination that hurts a person’s feelings as an act of discrimination. The Canadian Human Rights Act reads that it is an offense to cause a visible minority or other designated minority, “mental anguish.” Freedom of speech is so curtailed that democracy can no longer function when minorities are involved. Another even further egregious part of how these political courts operate in Canada and Ontario involves how trial and pre trial penalties and costs are levied. All costs of investigation of the Claimant’s claim are carried out and paid for by the “Human Rights” Commission. No costs are paid by the Commission or any investigation done into the Accused’s case. The Accused must hire his own lawyer, while the Claimant is provided with a lawyer at no charge. But that’s not all! If the Accused is found culpable (not guilty) any fine paid is called a “penalty” and paid to the Claimant. If the Accused wins, a rarity because the tribunal system is so stacked against any unfortunate non-visible, non-racialized, non-specially disadvantaged or otherwise specially designated majority person, the penalties can range up to $25,000 for the individual (corporations are juicy targets) and the judge can recommend racial sensitivity reeducation of the Accused in addition to the financial penalties. Oh yes, and the “Human Rights” codes take precedent over every other law in Ontario and all across Canada, unless a particular law specifically says it does not. By the way, all these special people are designated as forever disadvantaged in Canada’s Charter of Rights and damn few Freedoms. And yes, you guessed it; most of the judges of these tribunals are not legally trained; are appointees of the government and usually are members of one designated minority group or another (some you cannot tell are designated because they may be disadvantaged under the minority group designation “sexually oriented.” How long will it be before President Obama starts a “Human Rights” court system under another of his infamous Democratic Party Czars, thus relieving himself or any other power hungry dictator prone official of the desire to step in personally and interfere with the rue of law? In the end, the marginalized minority martinets and their power hungry supporters in both countries will reign supreme and bring both democracies to a critical decision point. That point will arrive when the citizens decide whether they want to continue to live by the dictatorial edicts of any number of power-seeking groups or individuals with destructive ideologies and personal beliefs or whether they will rebel. All freedom-loving citizens must therefore take peaceful action now, while peaceful means are possible. They must vote every gutless and dangerous corrupting politician out of office and elect only those politicians and leaders who will return to upholding the rule of law that is at the very the core of all our democratic Freedoms, Liberties and Justice. *
