Way Up There, High Above the Law

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there were laws only in Heaven. These laws were all good laws and they provided guidance for the good people who resided therein, and also protected them from the occasional transients and bible salesmen who sometimes tried to crash the pearly gates. People who did not abide by those good laws were punished by God. No need for courts, God knew Good and God knew Evil; and God knew there was not a single thing in between. There were gooddoers and evildoers and God could tell them apart.

Then man multiplied and filled the earth. People had to work together and make their living by the sweat of their brows. Some of the people found they could live better with less browsweat if they stole the work of another person and the laws of God were found deficient in this land on Earth which was not as good as Heaven nor quite as bad as Hell. So lawettes were instituted among the people by themselves to guide and protect and punish. And there were many lawettes in every land. These were not the perfect laws of God, but man-made-things, often not clearly written, sometimes not even comprehendable. So these laws were made subject to man-made courts where the laws could be “tested” to find out if they made sense and to also test to see if those laws had actually been “broken”. So the laws and the people who made them and those who were charged with breaking them were “tried” or measured to see what really did happen.

Now how could you possibly examine any complex event to see what had actually happened? It was usually decided by whimsy or by sheer might, or the very act of being “tried” or “tested” depended upon the King or Sheriff, or Grand Exalted Cyclops, or whatever Testor or source of power had detained the prisoner. Usually the Testor already knew even before the "trial" began if the Testee was really guilty and the more guilty the Testee was “known” to be by the Testor, or the more serious the “crime” the less seriously any trial needed to be prosecuted.

So, to try to get fair trials,“facts” were required to be introduced to help in the test or trial. How to determine if those “facts” were truly true came to depend on only one criterion: That was that both sides had to have equal access to all the charges and were able to examine and test or refute the charges by the other side.

If the people being tried could not find out what the evidence against them was, they were almost always found guilty. If they could introduce evidence themselves and also challenge the evidence introduced against them, then they were often found not to be guilty.

If any of the people charged with breaking the laws had a friend who knew the laws well to help them, it was even more often found that the Testees were not guilty! Of course, that meant someone else had to be guilty - Amazingly, that sometimes turned out to be the Testors who had had them arrested!

It is said that God felt the people’s pain in their travail, and He sent His own son to earth to clear up that mess. His son was called by some, Jesus. When questioned about some of the man-made laws, God’s son reportedly said that men should render into Caesar that which was Caesar's, and unto God that which was God’s.

Then God’s son was seized and brought to be “tried” himself. He could not introduce evidence and had no friend who knew the man-made law, and the decision was made by a Roman satrap. God’s son was killed.

Some 2,000 years later - apparently God sent a second son to earth. His name was Georgus. Georgus has His Father’s comprehension of Good and Evil. More than that, he understands a better way to introduce and test evidence.
Georgus understands that torture, humiliation, physical and emotional maltreatment, kidnapping, and permanent incarceration without resort to habeus corpus, access to legal aid, or even any need to ever have evidence presented to them or against them is sometimes necessary if the suspected crime was great enough, and the prisoner dangerous enough - especially if the prisoner is a “bad guy”, an “evildoer” or obviously guilty. That way the Testee can be tested without compromising sensitive information. And that makes sense anyway because evidence should be surpressed if the Testee should not have had access to information that sensitive because if he were found “not guilty” he would theoretically have to be released - but then - he would have been told what he should not have known and would therefore THEN be Guilty! Anyway, as far as needing a friend who knows the law to help him, these Testees have the best possible - Georgus, himself, and Georgus will see they are taken care of.

It may be even be there are those who are SO guilty that it would be better for them and all mankind if they were just “collected” and never acknowledged - if they would just simply “disappear”. Georgus can help these people too!

Of course, Georgus assures us that these modifications to the US laws are temporary and due to the Twin Tower attack, kind of like what happened in Germany after the Reichstag Fire.

The US Supreme Court stepped in and raised a warning about infractions to the great American Constitution to Georgus, so He has gone to His congress, just like Hitler did, and made it enact an “Enabling Act”, llike Germany did on March 23, 1933. And just like in Germany 63 years ago, more will soon be needed.
