Crime rises in places where the crime-busters and their governing authorities are committing crimes in plain sight. In some jurisdictions we find the criminals boldly proclaiming their right to pervert justice, pledging publicly to “double down”, “triple down” and “quadruple down” in their infamous intentions. The failure to connect the dots is the biggest dereliction of duty in decades by the people as an important bloc in the democratic powerhouse.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

Forget small time crooks, mentally unstable people! Crime is big business these days, often run from the executive mansions in some countries. States like Israel, today’s criminal state in the spotlight, and most of her neighbours are being exposed as wool-deployers, with their activities fostered by religious zealots and so-called patriots.
