This article is so badly written, we should wonder why we would waste our time discussing it. Its argument, however, is criminal and, as supporters of the WSWS, we should expose the insidious thing.

The writer quotes an attorney colleague, Tom Carter:

If the prosecutor says that either the crime occurred one way or it occurred another way, then I would jump up and respond that this means that the prosecutor doesn’t actually have enough evidence to prove either alternative beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, the prosecutor can’t actually prove that a crime was committed at all.

You see exactly this type of argument made all the time by unscrupulous prosecutors, who attempt to strengthen a weak case by piling on the charges, in hopes that the jury will think that with all these official-sounding accusations the defendant must be guilty of something.

One accusation that can’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt added to another accusation that can’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt is just two accusations that can’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Zero plus zero is still zero.

A light cast from one angle removes half the shadow doubt, and a light cast from another removes the other half. However, we have here a novel argument for why a smoking gun and witnesses do not make a prosecutor’s case. Such advice, given before a crime, would be a crime in itself. Lying about the law in order to convince victims that they could escape justice constitutes the crime of coercion through fraud. The lie that the prosecutor must tell the entire story of a gun’s life from the moment of manufacture until the moment it fired at the scene of a crime, and not only the gun but each bullet as well, serves to coerce the criminal into firing. Later, the criminal will find out that such a defense will not hold. The entire history of the gun bears no relevance on the case. The smoking gun was found and traced to the shooter, the shooter was placed at the scene, and even a money a trail shows the intent and motive of the shooter. Yet because we do not have a list of every previous owner of the gun, because we do know the date of manufacture of every bullet in the smoking gun, then the criminal will go free? Unlikely, but the writer believes he can continue to use coercion through fraud to incite more acts of horrific violence against the people.

A gang of fake Marxists and real Malthusians cannot hold up the legitimate process of democracy and governance forever. Their crimes require exposure. This philosophical defense and incitement of biological terror cannot stand any longer. The Fourth International has a responsibility to investigate and expose the crimes of the Nanobureaucracy in its alliance with defense contractors for the Pentagon, such as Peter Daszak. The Fourth International stands for a defense of the working class and the oppressed, not biological weapons labs and imperialist, Malthusian mass-murder.
