How is creating laws and regulations to prevent criminals and terrorists from laundering money acting "above the law" or "without consequence"?
How is creating laws possible? Laws are not being created, laws are being discovered. Laws are fundamental truths about the reality, e.g.:
- Archimedes' principle (a law) was discovered by Archimedes. This law states a certain fundamental truth, namely any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid.
- Law of universal gravitation by Newton,
- many more
For a concept to qualify to be called a law, this concept needs to be
universally true. Let me give you an example: any object drowned in a bathtube displaces the amount of fluid equal to its weight:
(the below will give you some sense of being universal)- whether in year 1900 or whether in year 2090
- whether on Earth or on Mars or on Jupiter
- whether you like it or not
- whether you consider it legal or not
- whether it will cause someone's death or will save a life
Let's see a statist's examples of law:
- one year law says smoking pot is okay, the next law gets you in jail for smoking pot - you see the so called ''law'' is not universal
in time, therefore it is not a law - it is legal pseudo-science
- in one place of the Earth law says possessing gold is okay, in other place of the Earth having gold gets you in jail - you see the so called ''law'' is not universal
in space, therefore it is not a law - it is legal pseudo-science
- etc
The so called ''laws'' are bullshits named / sold to you as ''laws'' so that you perceive them as scientific and true, and do not protest when put in jail for non-crimes.
Trust me, no-one ''creates laws''. There are only people who write bullshit on pieces of paper, call it laws and then extract every penny out of you, if you fail to comply with the bullshit written on these pieces of paper.
