What was that great quote, do you know when Caesar said; "The first thing we do is kill all the lawyers," and often people use that quote out of context, at the time of Caesar wanted to take remember about, and he knew he had to eliminate all the lawyers to do this. Indeed, a studier of Machiavellian line would realize that when you buy another country, the first thing that you need to do is get rid of the intellectuals, lawyers, educators, leaders, and then lead the masses by fear.
Well, I'm certainly not one to believe that in the current period, Machiavellian line must be the order of the day. However, I realize I am not alone in this world, nor is the United States of America. Many of our trading partners do not think that the way we do, don't need a capitalist, nor do their leaders necessarily believe in personal freedoms, freedom or democracy. An example of this could, for example, China.
Here in the United States we know not much about what is happening in China, as they are careful to censor the news from that country, and certainly the news come in. But we know that they are often to what we, from our perspective as Americans consider; no good. Last month there was an interesting piece in Sino Daily Online news titled "China cracking down on rights lawyers: Amnesty," written by staff writers in Hong Kong (AFP) and published on June 30, 2011. The article stated what many have feared would happen;
"Beijing has unleashed a" uncompromising "attack on China focused on the legal profession, human rights lawyers in an attempt to head off social unrest, Amnesty International said. The move was a bid to determine rights lawyers who take on sensitive issues such as fears that stands in the Middle East, North Africa and mount root in's world's most populous country could take, the rights group said in a new report. "
The article speculated that this was done by Communist leaders to silence dissent, and repealing licenses, intimidation, arbitrary disappearances and torture had reported. As much is that it displeases me to say something good about lawyers, should the Chinese people someone on their side right about now. Yes, China has 1.4 billion people have no chance but to force their legislation. The question is; they are to enforce the right.
On the one hand, there is serious corruption on the side of the Government, and yet it seems the ruling party is slow to enforce those issues, but they will go after any citizen who is one of their dastardly deeds calls, or any lawyer who goes to a citizen who speaks from defend, or every group that comes to their aid. There will always be challenges to human rights when leaders have absolute power. China needs checks and balances, and the United States must be careful who are linked to. I hope indeed will please consider all this and think on it.
