Yawn.

"The oligarchy" who you never identify would include the owners and shareholders of businesses who would suffer catastrophic business losses in the event an encryption-defeating law were passed.

Various billionaires are adversarial with respect to the laws they support and the media narratives their companies push (e.g. Washington Post vs Fox News). They don't act in concert.

oligarchy != billionaires club
Who are the oligarchy?
Those who are above the rule of law
This is a tautology and not an answer to my question. It means that you don't actually know how to define your belief system.
Or perhaps you just don't like my definition and its implications so much so that you're unable to consider it. Is there no one who is above the rule of law in your opinion?
