If it turns out that they, our Overlords, have indeed done what it’s believed that they are to have done, then, these are crimes against humanity. This should be entirely evident. At least, I can’t think of why anyone would ever argue against this assertion.
Let’s, for the sake of this discourse, assume that they have done these things. Then, they have committed mass murder. What’s more, it’s mass murder on a scale beyond any in human history, beyond Hitler, beyond Mao, beyond Stalin and indeed, it might well turn out to be, beyond all these combined.
Let’s now also assume, that they get caught, they are indited and their cases go to trial.
This will be, as has been commonly termed, Nuremberg 2.0.
I would welcome this day. I would welcome them being brought to justice. It can’t come soon enough as far as I’m concerned … but it looks like we’re going to have to be patient. I don’t want to take a diversion by talking about the topic of timings here, so let’s get back on track.
In the original Nuremberg trials, some of those who faced charges and were then found guilty, were hung - only a handful as it happened – but that is also a topic for another discourse perhaps.
So, let’s also assume that all the people facing charges in Nuremberg 2.0 are found guilty, how then should they be punished? What punishment would you say fits the crime?
The death penalty is the ultimate penalty. And have they not committed the most heinous of crimes? So therefore, it’s probably not unreasonable to suggest that they should be put to death in some fashion – be it by hanging, or by the electric chair, or by lethal injection.
Talking of which … I had originally thought that a good punishment was to inject them with their own vaccines – the ones they have used on the general populace and then see how they fare. This would literally be giving them “a taste of their own medicine”. This struck me as fitting and there seemed to me to be a certain sense of divine retribution in this also.
But I must tell you that I have since reconsidered. This option did not sit well with me.
They should be punished of course. However, while I think they deserve to die for what they have done, I actually don’t think they should be put to death. I don’t advocate capital punishment. I think it’s a barbarity. I’m against it also because essentially, it’s murder – it’s state sanctioned murder. And murder is murder at the end of the day.
I believe that killing is not just wrong, killing is a crime no matter who does it. And basically, by doing this, we as a society, would be committing a crime ourselves, wouldn’t we? We would all share some of that guilt. There would be a bit of blood on all our hands. I for one, don’t want any blood on my hands. Hence my making this appeal.
Also isn’t killing what they did? And isn’t it exactly what we abhor about them? To deliver the death penalty, is to do as they did. I myself do want to be like them in any way, shape, or form.
