Christian Clarity Review

Good article, one of the best of the free willer attempts at social protest actually demonstrating what happens when a people are deceived that free will exists, they have it and they can and will ‘use it’ for the best benefit to themselves and society… the same could be said of America. Lawlessness is always the result of being deceived sin is not a living creature, or does not exist at all and that “people will do what benefits them best” and all they need is “perfect directions”/’education’ to supposedly ‘do so’.

excerpted from: Real Crime, Fake Justice by Theodore Dalrymple, City Journal Summer 2006

Relentless for hundreds of pages, Fraser provides examples of how the British government and its bloated and totally ineffectual bureaucratic apparatus, through moral and intellectual frivolity as well as plain incompetence, has failed in its elementary and sole inescapable duty: to protect the lives and property of the citizenry. He exposes the absurd prejudice that has become a virtually unassailable orthodoxy among the intellectual and political elite: that we have too many prisoners in Britain, as if there were an ideal number of prisoners, derived from a purely abstract principle, at which, independent of the number of crimes committed, we should aim. He describes in full detail the moral and intellectual corruption of the British criminal-justice system, from police decisions not to record crimes or to charge wrongdoers, to the absurdly light sentences given after conviction and the administrative means by which prisoners end up serving less than half their time, irrespective of their dangerousness or the likelihood that they will re-offend.

According to Fraser, at the heart of the British idiocy is the condescending and totally unrealistic idea—which, however, provides employment opportunities for armies of apparatchiks, as well as being psychologically gratifying—that burglars, thieves, and robbers are not conscious malefactors who calculate their chances of getting away with it, but people in the grip of something rather like a mental disease, whose thoughts, feelings, and decision-making processes need to be restructured. The whole criminal-justice system ought therefore to act in a therapeutic or medical, rather than a punitive and deterrent, fashion. Burglars do not know, poor things, that householders are upset by housebreaking, and so we must educate and inform them on this point; and we must also seek to persuade them of something that all their experience so far has taught them to be false, namely that crime does not pay.

All in all, Fraser’s book is a searing and unanswerable (or at least so far unanswered) indictment of the British criminal-justice system, and therefore of the British state. As Fraser pointed out to me, the failure of the state to protect the lives and property of its citizens, and to take seriously its duty in this regard, creates a politically dangerous situation, for it puts the very legitimacy of the state itself at risk. The potential consequences are incalculable, for the failure might bring the rule of law itself into disrepute and give an opportunity to the brutal and the authoritarian.

Dalrymple himself applauds such writing as it seems to ‘use the free will properly to describe how the free will ought to act as opposed to how it is presently acting.’

Dalrymple is aghast (well, not really –not these days, anyway..) that those Brits can’t get thier free will more in line with obvious benefits to society.

Thus the circle of destruction is complete: even the protestors against the corporate lawlessness protest in what they themselves call will-neutral/’non’-interfering speech and against the mere wrong use of what does not in truth exist: free will –and the speech in which both the injustice and the protests against the injustice speak is the very creature that devours them and they know it not. According to their deception of reality, speech can’t be a living creature that is anti-Christ but is merely a tool –of ‘free’ will.

Thus it was at Buchenwald: the guards and prisoners had the same speech and it wasn’t the German. It all ended badly for both, very few escaped, and even those that did took the same speech with them that caused the whole thing. Here we are again and anti-Christ (he is that speech) is still speakling through them while they are absolutely deceived they can talk through all problems to non-violent solutions. They have never understood that to merely outclass anothers best honesty within non-creating speech does NOT do away with evil or crime. Sin is NOT an information/non-creating education problem.

Yet sin’s victims who are deceived they are free always are freshly incredulous when their protests are not well received:

(excerpted from the article..)

You might have thought that any publisher would gratefully accept a book so urgent in its message, so transparently the product of a burning need to communicate obvious but uncomfortable truths of such public interest, conveyed in such a way that anyone of reasonable intelligence might understand them. Any publisher, you would think, would feel fortunate to have such a manuscript land on his desk. But you would be wrong, at least as far as Britain is concerned.

So uncongenial was Fraser’s message to all right-thinking Britons that 60 publishers to whom he sent the book turned it down. In a country that publishes more than 10,000 books monthly, not many of which are imperishable masterpieces, there was no room for it or for what it said, though it would take no great acumen to see its commercial possibilities in a country crowded with crime victims. So great was the pressure of the orthodoxy now weighing on the minds of the British intelligentsia that Fraser might as well have gone to Mecca and said that there is no God and that Mohammed was not His prophet. Of course, no publisher actually told him that what he said was unacceptable or unsayable in public: his book merely did not “fit the list” of any publisher. He was the victim of British publishing’s equivalent of Mafia omerta.

John 16:12-14 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. But when *he* is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce it to you.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
