There is no crueller tyranny than that which is perpetuated
under the shield of law and in the name of justice . 
CHARLES DE MONTESQUIEU - French politician and philosopher, 1689-1755

King has no clothes

If the methods used in anglo ' legal ' system were adopted in other areas of human endeavours we , as humanity , would be still in the stone age .

No search for truth , no discovery process , no logical analysis of facts , no reasoning , no rationality , no sensibility . Instead - lies , pretentions , deceptions , hypocrisy , play acting , faking , falsifying , rigging , doctoring , concocting .

Enormous authority is put into hands of some publically unknown , unelected but secretly selected ,' trusted ' people . Who really selects them , who trusts them and WHY ?
Colossal amount of power in the society ( to both make and invalidate laws ) over legislatures , the executive branch , and the people who elected these representatives .

The power of judges ( lawyers ) is not compatible with democracy !

It is a structural problem with something what was designed to perform different functions than those which are presented for public consumption - and that appears to be unmendable problem at least to those who are involved with that system one way or the other .

Other possible explanation is that this is the system devised in the Middle Ages , an archaic and feudal system with supposedly a benevolent master knowing the best what and how to do everything - and the flunky`s irrevocably had to accept the masters decision . Regardless how idiotic and illogical it was they were obliged to praise the master for his wisdom .
( nobody says - ' king has no clothes '?! )

That anachronic system survived in spite of the change of the society from masters and slaves into the equal citizens ( well , almost ' equal ' ) .

With the external theatrics in appearance which is described as ' respect for tradition ' comes internal theatrics presented as ' fairness for all ' and ' respect for procedures ' .
' Begging ' , ' pleading ' - are overused expressions designed to reinforce the idea that the final deal is the result not of reasoning and impartiality but the graciousness and ' favour' of the master who has to be pleased before uttering some phrases which usually have to be translated by the ' initiated ' before can be understood .

A system that allows such culture of perfidious manipulations to continue , in spite of claimed existence of checks and balances , is basically fatally flawed system .

They are giving themselves ' titles ' - ' learned ' , ' his/her honour ' , ' justice ' .
Cynical , ironic , sarcastic , undeserved - mocking positive moral and ethical ideas .
Keep dreaming about the ultimate one - Ms. Windsor bestowing ' The Order of the Brutish Empire '.

They are deluding themselves that it is still 16 century England when they live in 21 century Australia .

The system is terminally ill.....no matter what ' drugs' are used , it does not hide the disease .

The so called rule of law can be defined as the rule of liars , a corrupt and evil legal system and a culture of hypocrisy , pretences , deception and corruption of all involved including judges
( a lawyer who was useful to a politician ).

The courtroom oath - ' to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth ' - is applicable only to the defendant and witnesses . Lawyers , prosecutors , and judges don’t take the oath .

They developed methods of openly passing in courts signals between lawyers and judges which cannot be easily identified (or proven as such) by observers and are even less obvious in transcripts .

One of the strangest peculiarities of this ' legal system ' is the fact that once a judge makes
a decision he/she cannot change it himself in order to maintain the illusion of own infallibility . His/her decisions can be only changed very reluctantly by a higher court .

Disallowing the judge to admit and amend own mistakes and errors leads to the increase of the fictionality of ' infallibility ' .
Such attitude spreaded from judges to barristers and the fiction of ' infallibility ' and  always doing the right thing is foolishly guarded by all elements of the legal industry leading to the degeneration
of the noble principles which the legal industry claims to be protecting .

During Stalin`s times in Russia there was a ' troyka ' system maintaining the illusion of the existence of some kind of judicial system , where all 3 members of the ' troyka ' were acting in collusion against the accused person .

Such ' troyka ' is well and alive in Queensland where judge , prosecutor and ' defence ' lawyer cooperate in facilitating achieving the conviction in the orderly way , making pretences of fairness and independence and seemingly obeying rules created to confuse the observers and the unfortunate unfamiliar participant(s) .

Court hearing is a choreographed event where all accomplices know their roles and the limits
of their acting .

In this legal system a herring can be ` legally ` , ` lawfully ` proven as being a type of horse if judge ` accepts ` the evidence that a herring has eyes just like a horse , rejects every other piece of evidence to the contrary and dresses up his/her decision in crafty , meaningless phrases
which cannot be challenged by lawyers because they are ' officers of the court ' bound to ` loyalty `
by the enforced discipline .
Since they are dependent on the goodwill of licence givers , the Queensland lawyers eagerly participate in the role designated to them - pacification of human anger at the injustices and orderly handling subjects into submission .
Therefore you cannot even dream that those people will attempt to improve the system ,
their fortunes are tied up to being obedient and maintaining the status quo .

( If you think that this is exaggeration please do recall the ' legal ' battle to have the game played using ' foot ' 90% of the time forbidden to be called ' football ' (' soccer ' - was meant to be deriding) and a game played using ' foot ' 10% of the time to be called ' football ' .)

How can we ever forget about another pearl of the system . Some mongrels called ' lords ' invented the rule that - ' The Tribunal shall not require proof of facts of common knowledge but shall take judicial notice thereof ' ( The Nuremberg Trials - Charter of the International Military Tribunal - article 21 ) . What can be considered to be ' facts of common knowledge ' - anything what you desire , eg .' pedal-driven brain bashing machine ' or soap from jewish dead bodies or lampshades from human skins , all became facts not needing to be proven !

Why this is happening ? - Aim could be to irritate people with obvious idiocy with the hope that they will act in irrational way out of frustration and if out of desperation they do something silly then they can be ` justifiably ` branded ` criminals ` , ` antisocial elements ` and similar epithets  .
Creating the falsehood of mysterious complexity about the ` law` , purposeful confusion of the simplest of procedures and pretentious adherence to ostentatious desire for fairness serves exclusively very narrow group of people who contribute nothing to the community but through their privileges and machinations suck up its resources .
The system main strength is the collusion between various interest groups who have only one thing
in common - pretending that they have public interest in heart while filling up own pockets .

This is not happening in Nigeria or Kazakhstan or similar places favoured by people ' concerned ' about abuses of law and justice - this is happening in Queensland , Australia .
Secondly , in places like Nigeria or Kazakhstan they still have few people honest enough to stand up to abuses of justice and power by those in power .

Like in every rotten and corrupt system the attitude of lawyers and judges towards the rest of the society is not going to change by itself - it has to be demanded by the society , those people have to understand that facts are not going to stop existing only because they are ignored .
