WHO CONTROLS GOVERNMENT? 14282 - Richard H. Shulman
DEALING WITH INFILTRATORS
The Government can infiltrate the patriotic movement by offering jobs.
Betrayers save their bodies that way, even though they lose their
souls. The greedy can get Knesset seats for becoming leaders, actually,
misleaders, of the movement. They become officials of the Yesha
Council. Their questions or radical proposals give some of the
infiltrators away. Their usefulness to the government ends when they
become ostracized.
What about the reverse, infiltrating the government, to find out or get
proof about its dirty tricks? Can't do it. Anyone joining a
security agency gets thoroughly investigated. People with patriotic
courage are known. Attempts would be severely punished.
Sometimes people do ascertain facts about government deceit.
Unfortunately, the media cooperates with the government in ignoring the
scandal or hastens to shut off coverage of it. After all, the Prime
Ministers and other leading personalities of the Kadima Party are
popularly known to be crooks, but manage to avoid serious punishment.
The police claim insufficient public interest in prosecution,
investigation drags on or omits the more promising leads, the courts
contend insufficient evidence, and the media downplays it. This is
what has been happening to people who overheard PM Olmert's orders to
beat Jews. The Left has things under firm control (personal source).
Dissenters are harassed. Thus Nadia Matar is charged with insulting a
public servant, Mr. Bassi, who brutally deported Jews from Yesha. She
likened him (I think aptly) to the Judenrat of 1942 (ghetto officials
who turned Jews over for deportation). The judge suggested the
prosecutor withdraw the indictment, because the case is weak. Defense
counsel proved that insulting officials is common in Israel but the
Left isn't prosecuted; this prosecution is discriminatory. Among the
protestors outside was a Nobel Prize winner, who decried the oppression
of free speech in Israel. The media did not cover the trial
The trial is rescheduled for September. This defendant is fortunate
that the government spared her the common fate of dissidents, kept in
jail while the cases are postponed. This deprives them of livelihood
and freedom. Frequent prosecution costs them legal fees (letter from
Ruth Matar and some observations from another source and from me).
WHO CONTROLS GOVERNMENT?
Theoretically, Israel and the US are democracies. Actually, a ruling
elite and lobbyists control. In Israel, the government arbitrates
almost everything and minutely. Israel lacks a Bill of Rights. Its
whole justice system is political and ideological. Liberal notions of
using the government to rectify injustices turn into pork barrel
legislation and welfare mentality. Nor do government decrees resolve
problems well. There is too much legislation, and too little time to
consider it. Bills attract loopholes by inadvertence and by design.
Some are peculiar, such as the unlimited Medicare coverage of physical
therapy if done only in a hospital-related facility. The US tax code
is tens of thousands of pages long!
