“Wisdom says if you have the facts and truth no manipulation is needed. Evil says, manipulation is the breast milk of the demons!”

Proverbs 16:16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Proverbs 17:24 Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.

Isaiah 11:2 The Spirit of Yahweh will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

Isaiah 47:10 For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, None sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

Jeremiah 10:12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:

1 Corinthians 1:19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."{Isaiah 29:14}

Facts: MURDER by perjury, the bearing of false witness against another person with an express premeditated design to take away his life, so that the innocent person is condemned and executed, was a species of killing punishable by death under the ancient common law.' However, this offense was no longer "holden for murder' 2 in Lord Coke's time. Blackstone likewise declared it to be "dubious at this day"3 (1765-1769) that such a crime was capital, since the modern law had never punished it as such. Murder by perjury nevertheless has been considered a capital offense in California, where the statute provides that "every person who, by wilful perjury or subornation of perjury, procures the conviction and execution of any innocent person, is punishable by death.'" Enacted in 1872, this section of the California Penal Code is derived from a similar provision in the "Crimes and Punishment Act of 1850."1 Although it has been the law in California for over one hundred years, there is no evidence that the provision has in any way interfered with the administration of justice. This experience would seem to refute the argumentsP frequently advanced that such a law is dangerous to society. Furthermore, if we trace the evolution of this doctrine through the cases and texts on the common law, we find that no satisfactory reasons have been given why it should not continue to be applied.
