It's true. We have to bang a gavel before we slay everyone. It goes back to the Romans.
>The ritual of rerum repetitio, a request of restitution or reparations, involved the pater patratus. Wearing a woolen hair-band, he was to announce Roman demands using a series of prescribed phrases, first at the enemy's frontier, then when he passes over the borders, again to the first man he meets, again on entering the enemy's gate, and again on entering the forum in the presence of local magistrates. If the demands are not met, the pater patratus declares war within 33 days and returns to Rome to await the resolution of the King of Rome and Senate. Once they have resolved to go to war, a fetial returns to the enemy frontier carrying a javelin with a steel or fire-hardened tip and dipped in blood. He declares war on the enemy, and throws the javelin into their territory.
Okay. We will always have those police. They will all have been trained in Israel. There’s no point or purpose in talking about any of this. There will be no action taken at any level. I don’t know what the last–let’s be generous and say–two decades haven’t sufficiently taught people about this. All you’re doing is incriminating yourself in something you were never going to do anyway.
