Law in Failure: War, the Most Catastrophic Failure of the Lawyer Profession, the Biggest Lesson of the Holocaust

This self evident lesson is never stated by our elite. This lawyer failure is in the service of the lawyer employer, the elites. This failure causes the deaths of millions of people, and $trillions in the destruction of infrastruture. This failure permits wars and democides with impunity for a small group of people. They usual greatly profit from war and from democide. Laws and rules prohibit the targeting of civilians in war. Exceptions must be added to these catastrophic rules. When people do not recognize the humanity of a group, scapegoat them falsely, and declare an intent to get rid of them, pre-emptive self defense is morally justified and mandatory. Naturally, the result of these orders is the mass slaughter of working class people of both sides. None has any beef with the other side, and most just want to go home. This doctrine coincidentally generates income for the manufactuers of war products and services. A small elite protects the elites of the enemy, and makes $billions. Millions of military personnel are employed in government make work jobs. Could the Jews of Nazi Germany have taken on the Wermacht (German military) to defend themselves? Obviously, no. They did not have to. Their could have tried to decapitate the Nazi hierarchy, instead. The civiliam Nazi hierarchy was a softer and more accessible target. Obviously, the earlier this defense is started, the more likely it is to succeed. Today's technology provides better tools for locating them, and for dispatching them cheaply. No one is learning this biggest lesson of the Holocaust. A few Nazi officals were hanged at the Nuremberg trials. The families that funded the election of the Nazis remained untouchable. They made $millions from Nazi contracts, after donating to the campaign of Hitler. They escaped any accountability after the war. They were recruited by the Allies after the war to rebuild the economy of Germany. These elites made even more $millions under the Allies than under the Nazis. These are the people who propel wars and democides. From a utilitarian viewpoint, they should be the very first casualties of war and of planned democides. Give them notice. Attack the families. Then eradicate the persons. The hierachy consists of the entire families, targeted for kidnapping and for assassination: Political leaders Financiers Top propagandists Intellectuals providing justification for the democide Reigious leaders Organizers and executive officials Their families should be the first targets. That allows the hierarchy to change its decisions. The same is justified by utilitarianism for all military conflict. It is an alternative to industrial grade slaughter of military people who come from the class of working people. The selection of the targets should follow a validated investigation, and evidence meeting standards of criminal prosecution. These rules prohibiting such targeting. They must be modified with the above exceptions. 1. Geneva Conventions (1949) and Additional Protocols (1977 and 2005): Specifically, Protocol I, Article 51(2) and Protocol II, Article 13(2) prohibit attacks on civilians and civilian objects. 2. Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907): Article 25 of the 1907 Hague Convention IV prohibits attacks on undefended towns, villages, and buildings. 3. Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (2002): Article 8(2)(b)(i) and (iv) criminalize intentionally directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects. 4. United Nations Charter (1945): Article 2(4) prohibits the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, which implies protection for civilians. 5. Customary International Humanitarian Law (CIHL): Rule 1 prohibits the targeting of civilians, and Rule 7 prohibits attacks on civilian objects. 6. International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Guidelines: The ICRC's Interpretive Guidance on the Notion of Direct Participation in Hostilities under International Humanitarian Law (2009) emphasizes the protection of civilians. The United States has its own regulations. 1. War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. § 2441): Makes it a federal offense to commit war crimes, including intentionally targeting civilians. 2. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Article 118: Prohibits murder, including the killing of civilians. 3. UCMJ Article 119: Prohibits manslaughter, including the killing of civilians. 4. UCMJ Article 137: Prohibits conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, including targeting civilians. 5. Geneva Conventions Act (18 U.S.C. § 2241): Implements the Geneva Conventions in US law, prohibiting attacks on civilians. 6. Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions (implemented through Executive Order 12633): Prohibits attacks on civilians. 7. US Department of Defense Law of War Manual (2015): Emphasizes the protection of civilians and prohibits attacks on them. 8. US Army Field Manual 27-10, The Law of Land Warfare (1956): Prohibits attacks on civilians. Basically, in the US, only an executive order stands between ending catastrophic wars by targeting civilian leaders. Ford Executive Order 11905, issued on February 18, 1976, by President Gerald R. Ford. This executive order prohibited the targeting of foreign leaders, including civilians, for assassination. Specifically, Section 5(g) of the order states: "No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination." Ford's executive order was later reinforced by Executive Order 12036, issued by President Jimmy Carter on January 24, 1978, which reiterated the ban on assassinations. Subsequent executive orders, including Executive Order 12333, issued by President Ronald Reagan on December 4, 1981, have continued to prohibit the targeting of foreign leaders, including civilians, for assassination. A future president can modify these orders, by including the exception of self defense. The argument against this military doctrine is that they can do to us. The reply is, yea, so. Let war starters and democide promoters live like hunted pray. They are doing it for profit. Let the risk of being the first target of war be included in their gambling ieth the lives and money of our own citizens. AI opposes this military target. Of course, AI is biased in favor the financiers that would profit from war and from democide. It cites the example of Quadaffi and of Saddam Hussein. Both were targeted by foreign invaders. The result of their eliminations were unclear about any advantage to the invaders.

Letter to the FTC About the Clustering of the Pricing of GLP 1 Agonists

Office of Policy and Coordination Bureau of Competition Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20580 RE: Clustering of High Prices of GLP 1 Agonists in the USA, Compared to other First World Nations. Dear Madam or Sir: GLP-1 agonists, also known as incretin mimetics, mimic the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is produced in the gut and helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucagon production. They can: 1) Improve blood sugar control: By mimicking GLP-1, these drugs help the pancreas produce more insulin and reduce glucagon production, which can help lower blood sugar levels; 2) Promote weight loss: GLP-1 agonists can slow down digestion, making people feel fuller for longer, and reducing appetite; 3) Reduce the risk of heart disease: Some studies suggest that GLP-1 agonists may lower the risk of heart disease and stroke; 4) They may have a role in reducing alcohol and drug use. All doses of each drug have the same price for 4 weekly injection pens, as cited from Goodrx.com, a discount coupon website. Semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy by Novo Nordisk): $1000 Liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda) by Novo Nordisc: $325 Dulaglutide (Trulicity) by Lilly: $853 Exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon) by Astra Zeneca: $796 Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) by Lilly: $1035 The costs elsewhere for 4 weekly pen injectorss are: Germany $328, Japan $169, the U.K. $93, Australia $87, France $83.·No doubt these amounts are highy profitable, since the cost of a pen is around $5. What these companies fail to understand is the lesson taught in high school economics. If the price is lower, the demand will go up, as will total revenue and profit. The likelihood of the clustering of these high prices by chance is very low in the absence of collusion. Why wouldn’t a competitor price a product $200 lower, and corner the market, while still making a high profit? Please, investigate the coincidence of these high prices. See they if they violate Antitrust Guidelines for Collaborations Among Competitors, the Sherman Act (15 U.S.C. § 1), the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 14), the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. § 45), or state and federal laws prohibit price-fixing and collusion, such as the California Cartwright Act and the New York Donnelly Act. I understand, you cannot permit importation without new legislation. That leaves an investigation for collusion to lower the prices. Here are the addresses of the corporate counsels. Anat Hakim, Corporate Counsel Eli Lilly and Company Lilly Corporate Center 893 S. Delaware St. Indianapolis, IN 46285 Jesper Hoiland, General Counsel, North America Novo Nordisk Inc. 800 Scudders Mill Road Plainsboro, NJ 08536 Christine Tramontano, Chief Counsel, North America AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP 1800 Concord Pike Wilmington, DE 19803

 Allowed to import non-approved drugs. Once approved, not allowed to import drugs. This 150 pounds is $194. Compare to $1035 in the US. That $50 shot likely provides a big  profit.

You should ask your political representatives to demand the PA Medicaid negotiate the highly profitable price of $40 a pen, not $250. From a high school Economics 101  view, demand will explode, and the drug companies will become more profitable. Box of 4 pens is $83 in France. Come on, man.

This is the AUDIT scale for alcoholism. A 4 is normal, 9 is of concern. he selected patients had scores of 13. 

https://nida.nih.gov/sites/default/files/files/AUDIT.pdf

Current FDA  approved meds for alcohol addiction have a 5% long term success rate. 

They improve glucose metabolism by nerve cells, so help people with Parkinson's, Alzheimer, and depression. As they cut food consumption in half, so they appear to cut alcohol consumption in half. Cochrane Review: 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35054924/

From:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10684505/

"Here we provide a principled analysis of social media posts detailing a reduction in alcohol consumption while taking GLP-1 and Tirzepatide medication. In addition, we report a reduction in average number of drinks, binge drinking, AUDIT score, and the sedative/stimulating effects of alcohol in individuals taking Semaglutide or Tirzepatide in our remote study. These findings add to a growing literature detailing a reduction in alcohol intake after GLP-1 agonist medications. To our knowledge this is the first report of decreased alcohol consumption following Tirzepatide use. Further RCTs are needed to fully explore the therapeutic potential of GLP-1 agonists and GIP/GLP-1 combination drugs for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder."

People were less drunk when they drank.

Relationships - The High School Course

 There are some immutable laws of relationships

1) The social value of the two partners must be equal. You can have an ugly rich man with a beautiful poor girl. You cannot have an ugly poor man with a beautiful girl. The is the Law of Social Equity. The most powerful value comes from celebrity. That is why imprisoned serial killers get marriage proposls from normal females. Celebrity is an irresistble aphrodisiac even on highly toxic males. The second most powerful is money or the prospect of making money in the future. The best indicator of future earnings is intelligence. The best, most available evidence of intelligence is wittiness. That means clever, unexpected zingers, not clowning. Clowning is evidence of low intelligence and a turn off. The third most powerful is  a handsome face and a good body.  All male achievements are to serve reproduction and to attract top shelf females. When the value of one of the couple changes, the relationship ends in a second. For example, 2 struglling actors also work as wait staff. One gets a contract for a $million job. The value has markedly increased, the relationship ends immediately. One member of the couple gets a chronic mental illness, dropping the social value. The divorce rate is close to 100%.

2) Reproduction drives sexual attraction. Females are attracted to alpha males. In wolf language "alpha" means "father." That means the attractive male will be an adequate father. Males are sexually attracted to motherly females. They must be motherly in appearance and in caregiving behavior. The ordinary male is not sexually attracted to models. They are too thin with 5% body fat, so the camera makes them look 10% heavier by flattening their appearance into 2 planes. Modes are attractive to designers. They look like boys. Their bodies will not distract the eye from the designer products. 

Besides a pleasant or beautiful face, and a 10% to 25% body fat content. males are attracted to females that make them feel good. Females do so by taking care of them. They do it by bringing peace to their stressful existences, by being psychologically supportive. Females should avoid bitchin' and bossin'. Such a feeling is a preview of how the female will make the offspring of the male feel. 

3) Marriage is a legal nightmare. Exceptions are rare. Its sole benefit is to keep males from leaving their families. Fatherless children are truly disadvantaged according to  hundreds of statistical studies. Single motherhood should be highly discouraged for the sake of children. Marriage should have an expiration date of 25 years. Compatible people may renew it. Others should part ways, while their bodies are still operating well. They may explore the stunning array of future dates and get tremendous physical and mental growth and satifaction. 

None of the above is entirely determined genetically. People can work hard to learn the skills and even to improve their appearances. 

4. The thinking is that relationships are not lasting long, like 3 months, because one is not being one's real self in the beginning. The real self is less attractive, and ends the relationship. The better advice is to stay phony. Set up rules in the relationship, no bitchin', no bossin', no bullyin'. Be on your best behavior, your kindest, your cleverest, your funniest, permanently. The partner gets great treatment. You get into the habit of being a better person, expending more effort, energy, wit, and thinking. As with any repetitive behavior, it becomes easier and a habit.   5. When you ask a date to do this reading ahead of meeting, time to bed together is reduced to less than half an hour. No coffee. No walk on the beach. No flowers. No expensive steak dinner. No drive in a Bentley. People do not want to waste any time. "I know our date is Friday. Can you come over now, instead?" All high school students should be required to read the webpage on Elder Sex from the AARP. That is just the beginning. Review breast orgasm. Thank new technology for this discovery with an fMRI. Tantric sex. This information is for people with erectile dysfunction and low vaginal exudate production ability. The one message from them? Sex is not a bathroom function to be completed in 7 minutes. Make time and reap great enjoyment, not to mention the admiration and gratitude of both partners.

5. Always pay the $100 assembly fee for furniture, especially if from IKEA. Assembling furniture has a serious risk of violence between 2 people. Biting, throwing things, stabbings may result from excessive supervising of the other person. 

Trump Assassination Attempt - Hard to Believe It Was Only Enabled by Incompetence or by DEI Leadership

 The elite deride conspiracy theories. The best explanation for government mishaps is the convergence of multiple mistakes by lazy and incompetent dunderheads. This one goes too far. 

The shooter is a  nerd who learned shooting at a gun club.  This kid did a commercial for Black Rock, the investment firm for many government pension plans. He contributed to a far left attack group. Just before the shooting, he registers as a Republican. He gets to the roof of a building 130 yards from the President. It had not been occupied by police as other roofs around had. Many people scream at the police that a shooter is on that roof. A police sees him turn the gun and ducks, but does not come back. The police snipers allow 7 shots to be fired, then shoot him in the head. That way, he cannot be interrogated. The shooter had a skilled, well aimed head shot until Trump turned his head, like a good military sniper. He calculated windage and elevation, as John Wayne advised in a movie. 

The FBI and the Secret Service are Democrat storm troopers. They serve to imtimidate grandmothers praying at abortion clinics, and parents objecting to schools transitioning kids to another sex without consent. They spend $hundreds of millions hounding and harassing the political opponent of Biden. They used  the playbook of the Stasi of Putin. All must be fired and replaced by real police officers. A special prosecutor should be approved by Congress, and prosecute any conspirators to the limit of the law. That includes Biden, who may have known of, and permitted this conspiracy by failing to stop it. 

Understanding ADHD, and Why Stimulants are Its Best Treatment

 The body loses 0.5% of dopamine neurons a year from berth to death. They start and drive movement.  The amount of movement drops every year. Go to a free play playground and look at 3 year olds and 10 year olds. If you put a normal 5 year old in a 12 year old class, you will think, ADHD. That means teachers are best source of information for making the diagnosis. They have a class full of kids to compare a child. The Diagnosis of ADHD is made if the child sticks out from his same age peers. It does not respond to good classroom discipline, and will affect function. That means, the child may have to be moved out of class. The child is disrupting the learning of tohers, and consumming an unfair amount of staff attention. 

What are stimulants stimulating? They are stimulating the frontal lobes. They inhibit many parts of the brain, including the dopamine system. One old fashioned alternative was the infliction of pain, in corporal punishment. Fear helped kids control themselves in class in the past. Most parents do not want to raise their kids in fear. The other problem with corporal punishment is that it may be rewarding to a child with ADHD. They are bored. They enjoy adult attention. They are sensation seekers. Corporal punishment provide all those rewarding properties. If it worsens the child, it should be stopped. Medications should be considered. 

Stimulants are twice as effective as other medications like atomoxetine, antidepressants and blood pressure medications. They work in an hour, peak at 2 hours (both benefits and side effects), and last 4 hours (all original stimulants), 8 hours (Adderall), or allegedly 12 hours (Vyvanse, Adderall XR). They each help 70% of patients. Put the 30% of non-responders on the alternative drug, and half will improve. Try combinations on the remaining treatment resistant patients. They must be matched for strength before drawing conclusions about effectiveness. For example 10 mg of methylphenidate has the strength of 5 mg of amphetimine. Adjust the doses before comparing their effects. The dose is by the weight. An effective dose will stop working even if adjusting for weight, after several month or a year. An alternative to repeated increases in doses per weight is to stop the stimulanst for 2 weeks on a school break, and restart at the same dose. 

Things that are a Good Idea in Theory but Rough in Reality

Showering together - the seeing, touching, and removing of grotty unknown organic substances from the body of the other person, slipping and falling, arguments over water temperatures, agonizing, blinding eye infections, especially if wearing contact lenses

Outdoor Summer concerts - sounds like a lot of fun. But you must endure high temps in uncomfortable conditions, heat, dehydration, crowding, long waits, physical discomfort 

Driving in a beautiful open convertible car - noise, weather, including, extreme heat, sun exposure, losing a hat, open to intruders, costly repairs to mechanism and fabric of the top, limtted trunk space

Law in Failure: The Crime Rate is a Marked Underestimate

 Crime has updated. It has moved to the internet. The lawyer profession has not. Official reports of crimes are garbage, lying government propaganda. We should get rid of the lawyer profession managment of crime. If crime decreases they lose jobs. They only protect the criminal, and never the victim. They arrest and crush the victims fighting back, as a threat to employment. All jurisidictions with low crime rates have only one feature in common. Some are rich or poor, some religious or secular, some crowded or sparse. All have public self help. The criminal is far more afraid of the public than of the police in low crime areas. It is time to unleash the only effective crime suppression, public self help. The public should be able to punish the criminal on the spot and have immunity from criminal or civil liability. The criminal should lose all substantive legal rights.

Daytime Sleepiness vs Dementia and the Case of President Biden

Dementia is the permanent, irreversible loss of the ability to form new memories, for exaample, today's date.

Daytime sleepiness from inadequate amounts of REM and Stage IV deep sleep is as impairing as intoxication on illegal alcohol blood levels. All the above functions can be affected as well. However, the remedy to daytime sleepiness is a good night's sleep. Another is a 30 minute nap. That is the limit of time for a nap to refresh, but to avoid spoiling that night's sleep. The other remedy for daytime sleepiness is modafinil 200 mg, pproved for sleepiness associated with inadequately treated sleep apnea.

I reviewed the case against "Fit for Duty" requirement for the police, punishing sleepiness at work. An accommodation for daytime sleepiness is imperative, especially if the job has caused the daytime sleepiness. The best is a 30 minute nap. An alternative is to take modafinil 200 mg for wakefulness, without effect on emotions or on thinking.

Biden has sleep apnea. He might have daytime sleepiness in the absence of a review of his medical record. Please, stop saying, Biden is demented. Biden should consider coming out about his sleep apnea, to help the majority of those with it who are untreated. It is not a disqualifying condition if treated with regular use of CPAP, implants, naps shorter than 30 minutes, and modafinil 200 mg in the AM. His doctor should provide that medication to cover the hours when alertness will be important.

As to slowing, the human body loses 0.5% of its dopamine neurons each year from birth, and movement slows from age 2. If fast movement is a requirement, then a 5-year-old should be president. Performance on cognitive tests peaks at age 16. In order to give a 40-year-old an IQ of 100, one must allow 50% of the right answers required at 16. Same thing, make a 16-year-old President if performance on a cognitive test is relevant to political leadership. As to trouble with word finding, the most common causes do not include dementia, but aging, language processing problems, inattention and distraction, stress and fatigue.

Remarks about the mental performance of President Biden are ad hominem remarks. They commit the Fallacy of Irrelevance. Biden should be criticized about his policies. On the other hand, did Biden make any of his decisions while sleepy? If Biden mistakes were made while sleepy, add them to the list of historic disasters caused by sleepiness.

Law in Failure: Prosecutorial Immunity Is Absolute, Despite Intentional Misconduct

 The innocent defendant spent 2 years in prison. The prosecutor told a witness to destroy exculpatory letters after a court order to produce them for the defense. The defendant sued the prosecutor. The Supreme Court granted absolute immunity to the prosecutor. Here. Libertarian magazine agrees. The judge can sanction the rogue prosecutor. The disciplinary counsel may as well for violating the special duties of the prosecutor. In reality, they never do, engaging in a collusion and a massive cover up of massive lawyer violations of the Rules of Conduct. 
  
Liability shrinks an enterprise. Immunity grows an enterprise. These decisions are unauthorized industrial planning. They are the job of a legislation. The legislation should keep out of it, since all industrial planning usually fails. Immunity should, at least, be limited to new, growing, and struggling enterprises. Examples are the early railroads and the internet in the 1990's. Once large and mature, all immunity should be removed. Criminal Prosecution is large, mature, established for 1000's of years. Neither judges nor prosecutors should be legally immune. Because of the dangerous nature of their acts, they qualify for strict liability. However, professional standards of due care will help them police themselves. An expert in their business would be required to testify they deviated from professional standards of due care. 

I would be interested in finding a case where an immune party was subjected to violence. I owuld like to introduce the superior, and compelling nature of formal logic into the legal system. The contrapositive of a true assertion is always also true. All bats are mammals (A then B is true). This animal is not a mammal, it cannot be a bat (not B then not A must be true, the contrapositive). Reviewed here. 

If you believe that legal liability replaced endless cycles of revenge violence, then legal immunity justifies endless cycles of revenge violence. I would like to make that point in an amicus brief for the defense of a violent act against an immune party. Legal liability was an invention that made civilization possible. One could stop spending all day on self protection and on retaliation for aggression by others.
