The problem with removing a cancer is you have to also remove some of the good tissue around it.

I have one question: Is what THEY call "propaganda" also what I call "the truth"?

There is no leak. This is clearly children playing with adult toys. They are out of their league.

They lie.

We know they are lying.

They know that they are lying.

They even know that we know they are lying.

We also know that they know we know they are lying.

They, of course, know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying. Yet they still lie.

In Russia, the lie has become not just a moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.

Troll farms and A.I. and bots, OH MY! We'll never get to the Emerald City this way.

He's going about it all wrong. Make the new system run parallel to the old system, THEN take the old system down. This is being done wrong on purpose.

Rule OF Law vs Rule BY Law

The Rule OF Law strives to maintains the dignity of the individual. The Rule OF Law is supposed to lift law above politics. The idea is that the law should stand above every powerful person and agency in the land.

The Rule BY Law strives to control the individual. The Rule BY law, in contrast, connotes the instrumental use of law as a tool of political power. It means that the state uses law to control its citizens but tries never to allow law to be used to control the state.
The Rule BY law is associated with the debasement of legality by authoritarian regimes, China for example.
