On Meta-Fraud
I note that the Republican party
has, lately, been using voter-ID laws to suppress voter turnout. The stated reason
for these new laws is to protect the voting process from vote fraud; but
investigation reveals that there is in fact very little such fraud, having less
distorting effect on the voting process than the voter-ID laws will have. Therefore
the voter-ID laws are themselves fraudulent.
They claim that there is massive voter fraud corrupting democracy, which these laws
fix; but these laws are themselves a massive democracy-corrupting fraud. The
massive fraud in the anti-fraud laws is that there is massive fraud other than
in the anti-fraud laws.
I admire the elegance of the scam.
Merely by claiming that there is massive fraud when there is no massive fraud,
one can commit a massive fraud. This would be a god-like reality-creating
power, if up were down. But up is not down, so really this is an
unreality-creating power.
