your tv and school tells you things about how this country operate that are not so, and in this exploration of 'our' rule of law you will discover we're no different than those we say we oppose for their 'style' of governance because more kangaroo trials are on the way;
After 18 years, there is a possibility that the Pentagon is finally
going to permit a “trial” of five men who are accused of conspiracy to
commit the 9/11 attacks. If so, the proceedings will prove what a
charade the Pentagon’s entire “judicial system” at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
has been and continues to be. In fact, the trial, if it is even
permitted to take place, will serve as a mirror for how “trials” are
conducted in communist China or, for matter, in communist Cuba.
Let’s review how the Pentagon’s “judicial” system got established in
the first place. After the 9/11 attacks, the Pentagon decided to
establish a prison, torture center, and “judicial” system for accused
terrorists that it would be capturing and kidnapping around the world.
It decided to locate this center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Why Cuba rather than somewhere in the United States? The Pentagon
wanted to make certain that it would have omnipotent power to run its
center any way it wanted, without having to bother with the rights and
guarantees enumerated in the Constitution, especially in the Bill of
Rights. It also didn’t want any interference with its operation from the
U.S. Supreme Court and the rest of the federal judiciary. In other
words, the Pentagon wanted a Constitution-free zone in which to operate
its prison, torture center, and “judicial” system.
Ultimately, much to the Pentagon’s chagrin, the Supreme Court ruled
that it did have ultimate jurisdiction over the Guantanamo operations.
However, while the federal judiciary has accepted some petitions for
writ of habeas corpus from Guantanamo inmates, overall it has followed
its longtime policy of deference to the national-security establishment
when it comes to matters of “national security.”..........https://www.fff.org/2019/09/09/the-pentagons-upcoming-kangaroo-show-trial-in-cuba/
