... a jury of your peers...

This is nothing new. Up here in shitlib Canada, we are taught that when Old Nasty took over Weimar Germany... he burned books, and ruthlessly hunted down his political enemies in the judiciary and gubbimint - and made them disappear. Never once was the character of those authors, judges, and gov't authorities questioned or talked about. It was just assumed that they were all good guys that paid the price for You-Know-Who's bloodlust and evil.

I was able to do a little digging but once the you get past the usual historical turd polishing by the (((usual suspects))) ... there seemed to be a metric chit tonne of (((corrupt, perverted and incompetent))) people that disappeared. I strongly suspect the average German was pleased as punch to see them go.

The resounding lesson of those old wars were "Lest We Forget" and "Never again..."

'Tis to laugh, I guess...
