A bad government may justify its unjust laws with all the persuasive powers at its command; but it can only buy time.
In recent times what happened at Wacco, Texas made its impact resulting in Oklahoma bombing. Five years to the day. So many innocent lives were lost because of a wrong decision. Due to an infirmity in Law.
Posse Comitatus is a legal term: it means law enforcement in unusual circumstances. Many groups in the heartland of America have surfaced one way or other, from the very inception of the Republic to safeguard their private interests and freedom. Since Posse Comitatus law allowed Federal troups to be sent to trouble spots across the land, the question always remained in minds of people if their presence was really necessary and not a cover for a more ‘darker’ purpose? These groups could also draw their force from past events in their history. Most egregious of these must have been the atrocities that had come attached to the presence of Posse Comitatus during the Reconstruction period.
The Federal troops can only deal with ‘the clear and present danger’ of riots and the like. They cannot remove what is in the hearts and minds of people. Thus every bad law has a potential danger of breeding discontent; so has social unrest following economic or political upheavels driving innocents unwittingly into cult groups. Thus would a bad law spin out of control cutting a wide swath in any soceity weakening it by and by.
In the 1970’s the U.S Government had urged the farmers to take loans for updating their farm and machinery; but bad policies and lack of co-ordination among agencies set up to implement them saw the farmers failing one after the other. A spate of suicides followed. In 1983 Gordon and Yuri Kahl in Midlands were the victims of that discontent. The ‘renegades’ had taken shelter in Arkansas and a posse of U.S Marshals went there to capture them. Kahl died in a shoot-out and his death gave a martyr to the cause. The white supremacy was quick to foment more trouble. In June 1983 a spate of new groups mushroomed : Arm of the Lord Covenant, Sword of America and so on. These were set up with the sole idea of fighting any ideology which smacked of Anti-Christ. In other words everything that didn’t toe their line. FBI armed with sufficient evidence could arrest many of these cult leaders. Timothy McVeigh was a member who would some 12 years later begin his murderous rampage.
Tailpiece: If man’s actions should thus fan flames of injustice across time and place Oneness must signify negotiation of contrary ideas as well? Material nature of life forms restores order and consequentially ideas must also shape up.
