Diplomat

Diplomat

Official Narrative

Wikipedia reports breezily that "The high regard for diplomats is also due to most countries' conspicuous selection of diplomats, with regard to their professionality and ability to behave according to a certain etiquette".

Problems

Whistleblowers such as Craig Murray have given a different perspective of the life of diplomats. The "professionality" of diplomats does not include obeying local laws to which the rest of the population are held perforce.

Diplomatic Immunity

Diplomats historically have had special privileges and immunities which mean that they are not bound by many laws which are applied to non-diplomats. These extend from the relatively minor such as a lack of limitations on parking or an ability to ignore fines for motoring offences up to and possibly including the ability to violate national laws against murder with impunity. Such special treatment is highly useful for the deep state, and seems to rest more on historical precedent rather than reasoned discussion about fairness or diplomacy.
