Commentary: The Rule of Law Hostage to ‘Enemy Action’

I have always admired the admonitory wisdom that Auric Goldfinger imparted to James Bond early in Ian Fleming’s novel named for the gold-loving villain: “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.” 

I have thought often of that sage advisory in recent months as so many once-trustworthy institutions of American life seem to have been weaponized against the people they were meant to serve. 

This is, alas, a huge topic, and today I will only scratch the surface.

    Makes you wonder about the DC cop suicides. Happenstance, coincidence, enemy action.

    If subject to change... *any* change... with or without notice... there is no "rule". There is only "What can we get away with? Today?".

    The forms of your prayers, otherwise, define who you lie, cheat, and steal, for. Not whether. Not if.
