Chapter 6: Law, Justice, and the Problem of Due Process

The Problem of Law

The Problem of Law is that because it is the law, it doesn’t mean it is good. Most of the great evils of history have been legal. This realisation comes as a great shock to most people.

How do we decide if a law is good? Most English people will say, ‘our laws are good because they have been passed by Parliament’. Most Americans will say, ‘our laws are good because they are in accordance with the Constitution’. This is THE FALLACY OF LEGALISM. It tells us it has been correctly passed: it doesn’t tell us if what has been passed is good. Foul water can pass down a pipe as easily as clean.

This fallacy is related to another fallacy. This is THE FALLACY OF ORTHODOXY. Orthodox means politically or religiously or ideologically correct. Bigots believe that if something is orthodox, it must be good; if it is orthodox, it must be true; if it is orthodox, it must be just. No, it’s just orthodox. The best antidote to the fallacy of absolute truth is English Pragmatism. English Pragmatism says that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, not in its fidelity to a recipe.

Blind Bigots

Liberalists are trapped inside their absolute truth. They state that if a law is Anti-Racist law, it must be good law and those who point out the bad effects of the law are terrorists. Pragmatism states that an undoubted truth is an undoubted lie if the undoubted truth in practice produces harm. If the effect is bad, the cause is bad. If the cause of the bad effect is a law, then the law is bad. But Liberalists can only test a law by Liberalism. If it is a Liberalist law, it cannot have any bad effects. Punishment is meted out to those who point out the disastrous effects. Liberalists are blind bigots.

Revolutionary Ideology is Harm

The question is what is harm? Anglecynne says that revolutionary ideology is harm since without exception its implementation has been like earthquake. Anglecynne says that since the governance of Humanity by idea has been earthquake, Humanity had better return to biology. The Human society of LEAST HARM is the Human society that is founded on WHAT HUMANS NEED AND NOT ON WHAT THEY WANT.

Since Nuremberg

This brings us back to law. Laws are demands for obedience under penalty of punishment. But at Nuremberg the plea that I was obeying orders was rejected with the inference that you must only obey good orders: YOU MUST DISOBEY EVIL ORDERS. And it has happened that after the fall of evil regimes, people have been punished for obeying the laws of those evil regimes, which if they didn’t obey during the regime brought them punishment. So now we have the delicious irony that you will be punished if you don’t obey the law, and later you will be punished if you do. Everybody needs to be aware of this, most especially law-makers, and policemen, and prosecutors, and judges, and juries, and jailers.

When you are brought to trial, your only plea will be, not that it was the law that sent Lucy Connolly to prison, not that it was Anti-Racist law, but that it was GOOD law.

Remember that GOOD DOES NOT MEAN POLITICALLY OR RELIGIOUSLY OR IDEOLOGICALLY CORRECT.

Take the Blame

This intent to hold the Liberalist regime to account is the Return of Responsibility. Modern democracy is phoney democracy. Phoney democracy is WHERE NOBODY TAKES THE BLAME.

The child plays the game: the parent takes the blame. Anglecynne intends to bring back the blame.

Law or Justice

What is a good law, a lawful law, as opposed to a legal law? In other words, we must distinguish between law and justice. LAW MUST BE REASONABLE. A law is not just if it is not reasonable. The effect must be NICELY calculated. The Law of the Lifeboat comes to mind. Taxation that is not related to ability to pay is legal but not lawful. A law that deprives the elderly of their driving licence, and fails to provide alternative transport is in fact a law legalising starvation. All the laws reactive to Nazism turn out to be simply Bent-Nazism. Anti-Semitism is simply flipped into Pro-Semitism: the Jew can do no right is flipped into the Jew can do no wrong. Still no justice for Jews.

The Return of Equity

Anglecynne intends the return of Equity, intends that by the writ of certiorari Equity shall be the Guardian of the Fundamental Constitution of Mankind, which are the Laws of Natural Selection. A law that offends the laws of Natural Selection is A CRIME AGAINST SURVIVAL. Equity rules that SURVIVAL IS THE JUDGE OF LAW. Treason is defined as the attack on survival. The writ allows an Equity judge to demand of a new law even before it is law that it demonstrates its wholesomeness. Equity is Conservation against Innovation. Equity is a stop on the flood of untested legislation. Equity rules that like/dislike is no business of law. Equity is the enemy of enthusiasm. Equity is the enemy of fashion. Equity can overturn legislation, administrative acts, verdicts. By the writ of certiorari Equity is defender of tradition.

Equity rules that by Natural Selection Mankind is a patriarchal patrilineal species. Equity rules that like it or not, you’re stuck with it. Equity defends the Human Life Support System, which is the planetary status quo before the Industrial Revolution. From 1981 Equity would have demanded by writ of certiorari that government proves that its legislation is not poisoning the planet. Due to the inconvenient fact of exhaust gases raising the mean global temperature, Equity rules that car driving is Treason-Against-Survival.

Animal and Ego

Man is animal and ego. He needs and he wants. The alcoholic needs water: he wants alcohol. Equity does not allow the ego’s alcohol to poison the animal’s water. Equity defines reasonability: what do you think is reasonable behaviour in a house that you did not build and cannot rebuild? What do you think is reasonable behaviour on a ship on a shoreless sea and you cannot swim? Equity, determined on the return of responsibility, revives the ancient tradition that guilt is in the effect, not in the intent. The ancients refused to recognise the difference between unintentional and intentional act: he’s still dead, isn’t he? Equity rules that YOUR RIGHT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Equity is not tried to a formula of words: Equity is THE ROLLING CONSTITUTION.

Due Process

Through the writ of certiorari Equity would not have allowed the Liberalist attack on Due Process. Due process is THE PREVENTION OF SHOW TRIALS. Righteousness holds show trials, where the guilt and the punishment are already decided, and the trial is a public performance of the ritual of righteous rage.

Pragmatic Don’ts

Due process is the accumulation of Pragmatic Don’ts.

Don’t do inquisition. Righteousness does inquisition; it can find the truth just by putting the accused to the question. The English way is more modest: trial by jury. Trial by jury is the Tao in practice. Anglecynne intends the return of the Racist jury. The jury is the achievement of English genius. It begins at the beginning of Englishness when fraternal witness (we swear our brother didn’t do it) shifts to neighbourhood witness (we swear next door didn’t do it). And so it has been in all its subsequent evolutions: the jury is witness. At the trial, the judge witnesses the lawfulness: the jury witnesses the proof beyond reasonable doubt. The genius of the jury evolved through many English centuries. And evolved nowhere else. The genius of the jury is this: my loyalty is to justice; I have no brother but justice. Anti-Racism has killed the jury.

Justice Does Not Criminalise Motive

Crime is in the act, not in the mind. Liberalists like all evil regimes criminalise motive. Evil regimes criminalise the motive, SO THE MOTIVE CAN BE CRIMINALISED WITHOUT THE ACT. The motive without the act is WORDS. THUS EVIL REGIMES CRIMINALISE WORDS. Remember: the ubiquitous test of an evil regime is ITS ONLY ARGUMENT IS VIOLENCE.

Hatred is Not a Crime

Hatred is not a crime because it is NOT AN ACT. Terrorism is not a crime because it is a motive: THE CRIME IS CONFINED TO THE ACT. ‘Terrorist-related’ is the Bent-Nazis’ favourite slap-mouth-shut. Evil regimes like the label. The label is added value: crime plus terror; crime plus hate; crime plus Racism. For example, when he hit her, he shouted ‘I hate you’. In just regimes, this is one crime, he hit her. In evil regimes this is two crimes, he hit her and ‘I hate you’. So now the evil regime can put in prison anybody merely shouting ‘I hate you’. Equity’s rule is Let the mouth answer the mouth: let the hand answer the hand because sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me.

Paranoia (on Wind in the Willows)

Evil regimes indoctrinate the gullible in the manner of Pavlov with his dogs. The result of the repeated association of ‘hate’ and ‘crime’ is that hate is crime when there is no act. For example, a crime is labelled ‘terrorist’. In the convicted terrorist’s room is a copy of ‘Wind in the Willows’. This is now a terrorist-related book. In another person’s room is the same book. This person is now terrorist-related.

Soon ‘Wind in the Willows’ will be banned. It is deeply seditious. It promotes defiance of the state because it treats Toad’s escapes from prison as a good thing. It encourages vigilantism because Toad and his friends regain Toad Hall all by themselves. They should have called the police. It is horrifyingly racist. Toad and his friends violently expel the stoats. They should have made them welcome.

Paranoia is not conspiracy, it is a psychosis. To relieve their anxiety, insecure people seek two persons. They seek a leader and they seek a witch: to follow the leader and burn the witch. If the leader is also paranoid, the night is bright with burnings.

There are No “Crimes Against Humanity”

Equity does not bend with the wind. There are no ‘crimes against humanity’? An empty phrase, mere ‘sounding brass’. Aren’t all crimes against Humanity? If Nazi murders a million, it is not a Crime against Humanity, it is a million crimes against a million human beings, each of whom has had his life taken from him, and each of whom has a name. And that is how Auschwitz is remembered, not by Holocaust Day, which is the worship of the God of Hate, but by the Naming of the Names; ceaselessly by day and night, under the sun and the rain and the light of candles, the naming of each and every human name.

Anger is Not a Crime

Anger is not a crime except in a regime so evil that every emotion is a crime unless it has asked permission. Anger is a virtue. Anger is the prisoner throwing off at last his chains of fear.

Incitement is Not a Crime

Incitement is not a crime BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE TO OBEY IT. I am not responsible for what you do: YOU ARE. Giving offence is not a crime BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE OFFENCE. I am not responsible for what you feel: YOU ARE.

‘Abuse’ is another favourite ‘crime’ of the present evil regime. It is a ‘hold-all’ word because its meaning ranges from being rude all the way to murder. ‘Racial’ abuse is not a crime BECAUSE IT DOESN’T BREAK RACIAL BONES.

The Reign of Terror

The reign of terror in schools and other institutions is the result of the criminalising of motive in order to control the Human Being down to the very roots of his mind. ‘Check your thinking,’ the policeman said who once was an English bobby. And is he not more deadly than the Iranian policeman who says, ‘check your dress’? Equity knows that the road to the death camps starts with the criminalizing of the mouth, so Equity’s stern principle is WORDS ARE NOT CRIMES.

The Right to Privacy

The next DON’T follows from this. It is the Right to Privacy. In our kitchen we can slang our neighbours. If our neighbours overhear, too bad. Our slanging is privileged because it is IN PRIVATE. In a healthy culture (which is Home), Eavesdroppers, Denouncers and Gossips are punished most cruelly: THEY ARE IGNORED. Ignored, they are dormant. Their emergence is the warning of disease. DENOUNCERS ARE THE UBIQUITOUS SYMPTOM OF AN EVIL REGIME.

The Duty of Privacy

The Right to Privacy is the Duty of Privacy. In private, private love. In public, public love. In your closet, you’re yourself. Out of your closet, you’re English. Your right is your responsibility. What alone comes into the public out of the private is the celebration of Life Continuous: marriage and the baby, the little Lord of Life, whose smile is sunlight, whose noise is music. ‘Outing’ is an offence against privacy.

Public Decency

What follows from this is Public Decency. One of the symptoms of the social sickness of Liberalism is the breakdown of public decency. People now behave in public as if they are in private. Listen to them talking to themselves on their mobile phones. They are never here: they are always somewhere else. Public decency was the enforcement of public behaviour in public. Public decency is RECOGNITION. Recognition is crucial to the Keeping of the Peace. Recognition used to be called good manners or courtesy. Now people walk past you as if you are not there. Liberalism is social disintegration, is every man for himself. Courtesy is cohesion: is a survival necessity.

Equity Rejects “Equality”

‘Equality’ is inequality, is unashamed, is ‘positive discrimination’. Any inequality is acceptable in the virtuous path to ‘equality’. Equality is Liberalism’s Procrustean bed. The cult of ‘Equality’ is hatred in righteous disguise. The cult of ‘equality’ is superiority patronising the inferior: ‘you can’t win the race on your own; I’ll handicap the other runners.’ The demand for equality is the confession of inferiority. Equality is social engineering. Equality is biological perversion. SURVIVAL ALONE REVEALS THE RIGHT RELATIONSHIP.

The Grand Jury

In the long-since failure of Parliament to defend the right, certiorari is necessary. And so is the Grand Jury. The grand jury was not concerned with guilt or innocence, but with sufficient evidence. And now with this question: is the law under which this charge is brought good law? Prove it. Let the legislature beware.

Why did due process forbid to try an accused twice for the same offence? So that the Righteous learn to take no for an answer. Why were previous convictions of the accused not told in court? Previous convictions are not evidence. Why are trials in open court? Because murder is done in secret. Why is the accused innocent until proven guilty? Because if you have given a dog a bad name, he must have done the crime.

Self-Help

Is Self-Help lawful? Self-help is self-defence. Self-defence is inalienable. It needs no more permission than being alive. Self-defence is invested in the collective but reverts to the individual upon the failure of the collective to do its duty of defence. Self-defence becomes self-help when a state, instead of defending the citizen, attacks him.

Self-help, then, starts with THE INDIVIDUAL’S REFORM OF HIMSELF: moral regeneration and the eschewment of Permissiveness/Consumerism.

Then he is ready to turn his attention upon the state. 1. The self-helper DOES NOT RIOT. The police state loves rioters. 2. The self-helper REFUSES TERRORISM. 3. The self-helper LEAVES THE HIGH COMMAND WELL ALONE. 4. The police state IS NOT WELL-DEFENDED. The police state consists of the High Command and millions of state employees. Without them, the High Command is just hot air. Such persons have no right of ‘innocence until proven guilty’ because they are supposedly carrying out delegated responsibilities on the citizen’s behalf and so they must render an account of how they have performed their duty.

They are the vulnerability of evil regimes: THEY CANNOT BE PROTECTED BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO MANY.

Accountability

The return of personal responsibility starts with THE RETURN OF ACCOUNTABILITY. Anglecynne will ask those persons to justify themselves who, by their Creeping Coup, have seized the British State and perverted it into a thing alien, totalitarian, demented and enemy of the English. The meaning of king is the Guardian of the Kin. HOW HAVE THEY, who have seized this guardianship, EXERCISED IT?

National Holding to Account

The Return of Accountability starts with a National Holding to Account. You cannot forgive those who refuse to repent. England has a Head of State. He is called a king. King means Defender of the Kindred. This king has a title the original and most honourable of all that he has: this king is REX ANGLORUM. How has this King of the English defended the English?

LET THE PLAYERS OF POLITICAL GAMES BEWARE.

In the National Holding to Account, Anglecynne looks seriously towards Treason Trials. Heseltine is the last survivor and a senior member of the Thatcher Gang. He imposed on this nation untested economic NERDISM. He sold our money independence to nameless alien pimps. He sold our manufacturing independence to the wage-slave states of Asia; he sold our manufacturing know-how, furthering endangering our independence. He destroyed hundreds of thousands of jobs. He destroyed the safety and happiness of hundreds of thousands of families. He destroyed whole communities. Whole industrial cities became suddenly pointless. Heseltine is responsible for shattering the stability of a whole nation. He shall not use the voter as an excuse: he is responsible for what he has done.

And Blair’s treason: the importation of the largest number of aliens in the shortest time in the history of the World into one of the smallest and most overcrowded nations and one least capable of feeding itself.

Nobody can give you permission to do wrong.
