So many examples. Here at home the Auditor-General has just released a damning report showing that exactly as citizens have said for decades, gravel pit operations are NOT in the public interest and are NOT being run properly or in compliance with the rules and laws of Ontario or its' municipalities ( see Jan. 5/24 here in this Blog). Then in today's K-W Record is an article titled "Reprieve for wrongly accused U.K. postal workers". Apparently over 900 post office branch managers were convicted of theft or fraud between 1999 and 2015 in regards to allegedly missing funds. These missing funds it turned out were the result of a faulty accounting software package. Of course a day or two ago as well as today there is an article in the Record describing the horrific two decade stints in jail in New Brunswick for two men (Gillespie & R. Mailman) who have now been exonerated. It just goes on and on. Think about the following names: Milgaard, Marshall (Don), Morin, Truscott, Rubin Carter, Mullins and on and on, never ending.
Yes our governments are to blame. As also is our perverted Judicial Systems which rely on never ending inputs of alleged criminals, sometimes when no crime has been committed and often when police have simply grabbed the first potentially guilty suspect that they can find. Faulty investigations, false testimony, unreliable visual evidence and witnesses, prosecutorial misconduct, police misconduct; the list of reasons goes on and on. A huge one is of course money and resources. How the hell is the average Joe supposed to fight the state on serious charges when the state has all the necessary funds and resources including police at their disposal? It is an unfair battle from the start with ordinary citizens required to remortgage their homes (if they own them) and do battle under the complex, onerous and circuitous rules of the state.
May our governments rot in hell for their past sins. May more of their future sins be exposed for public contempt and ridicule.
