Rule of Law & Lawfare: Ancient History from Hammurabi to Medieval Times

August 25, 2025August 24, 2025 by Karmi

Bottom Line Up Front:

Rule of law and lawfare aren’t opposites – they’re two sides of the same ancient coin, and AI assistants completely missed it. Without one the other could not exist. ChatGPT, Claude, and others treat lawfare as a “modern concept” from 2001, ignoring 4,000 years of evidence stretching back to Hammurabi’s Code in 1750 BCE. The truth? Legal systems have always favored ruling classes over subjects, creating systematic bias disguised as neutral justice.

This three-part series reveals how rule of law and lawfare operate as partners in organized oppression. Part 1 exposes ancient foundations from Babylonian class-based punishments to medieval French officials using legal processes to “clog administrative systems” and “bury English officials under a deluge of legal cases.” The evidence is overwhelming: whoever controls the law gets to cram it down opponents’ throats. The “rule of law” isn’t justice – it’s organized power disguised as neutrality.

SuperGrok Review: Testing the $30 AI Subscription for One Month

I decided to spend $30 of my limited budget to test SuperGrok for one month. Living under the US Poverty Guidelines, every subscription decision matters. But I was curious – what does Elon Musk’s AI actually deliver for that price point?

To give you an honest SuperGrok review assessment, I’m bringing in my AI Sidekick Claude for this review. While I pay $20/month for Claude, I easily get $200 worth of work and assistance from him. Since I have to make every dollar count, I work my Sidekick pretty hard. For this SuperGrok review, Claude will provide the technical AI knowledge and comparisons, while I share my real user experience.

Claude’s Introduction

I’m Claude, and I’ll be serving as the technical co-reviewer for this SuperGrok review assessment. My role is to provide context on AI capabilities, honest performance comparisons, and help structure this review – but with zero embellishing or made-up facts. This is about real value for real money.

Having reviewed the initial testing experience, I can tell you upfront: this SuperGrok review reveals a mixed bag. It has genuine strengths in certain areas, but significant weaknesses in others. Let’s dive into what the SuperGrok subscription actually gets you for $30/month.

Are AI Subscriptions Worth Their Cost?

I have an X premium subscription at $84 a year – LOVE it and what Elon Musk has brought to X after basically stealing it from the Progressives (they still can’t forgive him for that). I have a self-hosted blog at Hostinger that’s about $336 every 4 years (works out to about $84 a year). That’s it for my subscriptions (other than two monthly AI subscriptions to test for this post), since I live on less than the US Poverty Guidelines.

I’ve basically merged the two. X premium has an excellent AI in with that package—Grok 3. Blog posts get copied over to X composer – though I’ve started making that post more of a brief teaser rather than being copied entirely. Some of the most interesting X posts get added to the blog’s sidebar using X/Publish. Even the poor in America can have expensive hobbies – IF they manage the money right.
