We should consider the possibilty that the death penalty was abolished in places where those who would be deserving of it by ways of corruption arranged for its abolition. Notable exceptions are China and Iran - both Nations treat corruption with capital punishment. Saudi Arabia is different. People have their heads chopped off for misdemeanors or dissent.
A while ago a Chinese government official was executed for corruption - guilty of having stolen large amounts of public funds. When I wrote about that, questioning why in the U.S. only murderers of up to dozens of people are given the death penalty, while those responsible for the extermination of thousands to millions give book signings and those enjoying huge financial gains by implementing policies that are either destroying the fabric of whole societies and bring suffering and death upon the citizenry get lucrative jobs in the MSM, I received some nasty responses.
Needless to say that I am more than ever in favor of the death penalty for corruption - as it is the cancer of western societies.
"Notable exceptions are China and Iran - both Nations treat corruption with capital punishment."
The CPC treats corruption "case by case". A government official convicted of corruption isn't only given a death sentence. ALL sentences depend on severity and can also include prison term, house arrest, probation and fine.
I was under the impression that the death penalty given is corresponding to the crime perpetrated. In the case I wrote about, the damage to the people was in the range of $ 1.5 billion dollars.
Although corruption can be mere favoritism, I trust the jury to apply the sentencing according to the crime.
You are correct. My reply was to point out in China, the penalty is "case by case". Reason for clarification is "The West" has a habit of de-humanizing it's opponents (i.e. China, Russia, Iran, Syria, Palestine etc..) by making paintbrush statements like "China imposes death penalty for corruption". This kind of rhetoric makes naive readers think other countries are "not refined or uncivilized" because they don't have the capacity to judge crimes and punishment like the so called civilized West. Western Imperialism is subtle; words like "First World and Third World" or visual images like map projections (Mercator (scale favors Western Empire) vs Gall-Peters or Autha-Graph) distort truth.
You are of course correct. Commenting on Alex Krainer's publication gives the feeling of dealing with and reaching critical thinkers. That might be too presumptuous - especially in light of the present status quo, where the truth is under constant surveillance and if necessary suppressed. Thank You for reminding me to tread more carefully and also lightly. We are all walking on thin ice.
I've noticed recently blogs and Alt-media websites have had an upsurge of Trolls, mis/dis-information agents and censorship. This is only going to get worse as the US Gov just allocated another 1.6 Billion towards propaganda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8zaAXRE3RE
