Here is Chat GPT’s description of the phrase, “Show me the man and I will show you the crime”. For once, it is an explanation I think is very accurate.
The phrase “Show me the man and I will show you the crime” is often attributed to Lavrentiy Beria, who was the head of the Soviet secret police under Joseph Stalin. Beria was infamous for his brutal enforcement of state power, particularly during Stalin’s reign of terror, which included mass purges and political repression. The phrase reflects his belief that the state could fabricate charges against anyone it wanted, implying that it could find a crime in any individual’s life, regardless of their innocence.
Below, Alex Jones gives a couple of examples of this exact policy. but let’s open our eyes for just a moment. The staggering number of unprecedented charges against Trump himself, many of his chief supporters and nearly all, if not all the Jan. 6 protestors are bullseyes for this practice. Or at best, to be made an example of, for anyone else thinking of standing up to an authoritarian communist revolutionary government, using rights and law that at this point are more fantasy than fact.
