Joseph Stalin’s reputation as a ruthless despot rests on many factors, but particularly upon his persecution of political opponents. Under Stalin, the gulags swelled in size, and continued to do so until his death in 1953. Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin’s most notorious secret police commander of the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD), boasted about his weaponized law enforcement agency, and his ability to “prove” guilt, even in the absence of a crime. His words were, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” First, Beria would identify a target (“the man”) before he concocted charges based upon falsified evidence—the victims were guilty until proven innocent. Justice was jettisoned in favor of kangaroo courts.
In contrast, the American federal government established with the ratification of the Constitution, rooted our justice system upon Judeo-Christian ethics and morality. In fact, five of the ten amendments which comprise the Bill of Rights explicitly address governmental limitations in an effort to secure justice; but now, we moved past the tipping into the wasteland of no return.
The rule of law is no more—the Department of Justice is now the NKVD, and Merrick Garland is Beria. Yesterday, FBI stormtroopers kicked in the doors of President Donald J. Trump’s private residence, executing a search warrant.
