The Politics of Murder
The Politics of Murder by the State................
Why is anyone suprised by the position of the state in the case of Terri Schiavo?
Is it because they are so blatant in their disregard for human life in just this one particular instance? It's not as if this is an anomaly. It may well be just a part of our being 'conditioned' for what is to come.
Meanwhile, the politicians are having a field day. The courts are exercising an arrogrant display of power. The media are gleefully reporting the events. The pundits are in their heaven. The lawyers strut in their limelight. The entire episode is taking on the appearance of a last minute virgil at some prison before the accused and convicted prisoner is put to death by the state. It seems to offer something for everyone and everyone is getting their "15 minutes" of fame. Oddly, the churches remain largely silent, except for those charlatans always in the mix of anything that resembles a religious issue, but even they are not as vocal as usual.
The obvious malpractice of the state began long ago when the State of Florida elected to grant to the husband, the usual custody or guardianship of his wife. I say obvious because it was obvious that the husband had disserted his wife for another and this was no longer a usual case of husband being the proper one to make such decisions for the wife. One has to wonder just what were the motives of this state court in ignoring the obvious, that the husband could not have the wife's best interests at heart, and that the parents most likely did. Thus began the politics of murder in this case. The wisdom of Solomon would have allowed this disabled one to be placed in the care of those who would willingly sacrifice their time and assets to benefit the needy requirements of their loved one. When the husband violated his vows, "until death do us part," that was obvious indication that he might not be truthful about the 'victim's' desire to die under these circumstances. Yet, the court not only granted him custody, but upheld his desire that her life be ended. Something doesn't fit in this picture unless this entire case was looked upon as a means of increasing the state's power over life and death and it was envisioned to be a precedent setting opportunity.
Murder by the state has always been a matter of politics, whether it be by abortion, or by capital punishment. It provides a means for the state to measure and judge the attitudes of society and gradually mold the thinking of society. It offers a great 'dialectic' opportunity.
In the case of the criminal facing state ordered death, society has always been divided, and we have seen no equally applied 'justice' in the use of the death penalty. In fact, the criminal has much opportunity to prolong life far beyond reasonable, once the sentence has had alternate remedy exhausted. Politics always comes into play from the trials to the act of state caused death. The courts show their power deciding life or death, regardless of supposed jury findings. Abortion has been a political football since the courts determined that a woman's right to convenience, superseded the right to life of a pre-born, or fetus.
Dr. Kavorkian (sp?) serves 'time' for exactly what the state has now authorized in this case.
The politics surrounding this case provide opposing views much fodder, thus enabling the dialectic to be utilized to great extent, while distracting us all from many other issues and ongoing atrocities. Some politicians will say they did all they could do to protect life in this instance, and many will fall at their feet for that perceived endeavor.
The devil in the details began with court ordered custody to the 'cheating' husband. It ended with the denial, not so much of a 'tube' being re-inserted, but by the refusal to allow even sip of water to pass the 'victim's' lips. These two facts alone should be enough to awaken, all who care, to the politics of murder by our non-christian antichrist government that would be god. If not now, when do we 'come out of her?'
