Statutory Law vs. Natural Law

Most people think of laws as something passed by legislature. However, laws have a more fundamental origin than that, and this becomes apparent when statutory laws, passed by lawmakers, become corrupted.

An example of this is the Nuremberg trials that took place after the second world war. None of the Nazis on trial had broken any written laws. Their actions were well within the framework of German legal code as it was written in the 1930s and 40s. How then could they be trialed and sentenced? The answer to this was that they had acted against more fundamental legal principles. They had violated basic human rights; i.e. everybody's natural rights to life, property and liberty.

Statutory laws have a tendency to be corrupted over time due to corruption of the political elite. The state attracts unsavory characters who are attracted by the idea that their actions can be legalized through legislature. They band together. They push out those who stand in their way, and they end up passing laws that benefit themselves at the expense of everybody else.

This is a gradual process that can take decades to unfold. However, once in place, the corrupted legal framework can be swiftly put into action, and tyranny emerges as if out of nowhere, as we've seen over the last couple of years. All sorts of horrors have been unleashed. Hardly any of them illegal according to national legal codes.

The morally upright have reacted in horror at this sudden turn of events. Is this legal? we wonder, sensing that something is terribly wrong. However, the majority of people have accepted the new situation without question. Legality equates morality in their minds. To them, it's opposition to statutory law that's immoral.

The sudden outbreak of hobby-fascists at the start of the hysteria is a typical example of how statutory law is confused with morality. Many were openly aggressive towards anyone disobedient of the edicts coming from the state. But this has changed. Hobby fascists have all but disappeared, which indicates a shift in attitude towards the state itself. 

There's a long way from where we are today to a situation where natural law returns as the primary source of legislature. No-one in power needs worry about potential lawsuits in the current climate. However, things may unravel over the coming years. Those who have ignored natural law in their pursuit of power and control over others are not safe. Statutory law is no excuse in an environment where natural law has a strong standing. 

The current situation is precarious for the ruling class. Statutory laws were conveniently changed shortly before the outbreak of mass hysteria. The definition of words like pandemic and vaccine were altered. It's evident that this was put in place by unscrupulous people so that they could profit both in terms of money and power.

Those behind the scaremongering are safe at the moment. They are shielded by statutory laws and a public that's still in the grip of hysteria. However, once there's a shift in sentiment sufficiently strong to repeal unjust laws and allow for natural law to act as a base for prosecutions, the culprits will have little chance of escaping justice. It's obvious from very basic principles that they were in the wrong. Coercing and tricking people into taking an experimental drug for which the long term consequences are unknown is a clear violation of bodily integrity, property and liberty. There's no way to argue from natural law that they were innocent of the harm they wrought.

History tells us that unjust laws always end up repealed. However, there's no telling how long the current legal framework will remain in place. It can take decades before justice is served. But it can also happen swiftly. My guess is that it will happen swiftly and relatively soon. Once the enormity of the injustice is fully understood by the fearful, their fear will turn to anger, and they will demand justice. Statutory law will be set aside so that the culprits can be judged against basic legal principles. Natural law will come back in vogue and justice will be served.
