A few thoughts about
"Independence"
by Ed Lewis
Most of my life is spent living in fear for the American people and the people of the rest of the world. The fear does not stem from threats made by other countries. It is caused by current US Government officials and the scare tactics being used to induce support for the Bush administration's military and overt aggressions against other countries and/or their leaders. The aggressions are unfounded as defensive measures and are accordingly resulting in great anger against America and within America. Thus, July 4 was a day of mourning for this American Citizen, not a day of celebration.
What is there to celebrate - that we are still alive and breathing? Freedom defined by privileges issued by elected people who assume the powers of God while ripping the Constitution to shreds? Being part of forcing the most deadly empire that has ever existed on all peoples of the Earth?
Or are we a part of it? Is it not true we are forced into compliance at the end of a gun, whether figuratively or in actuality, that our part in our own losses of freedom and in world domination is to finance the wants of the evil we have in government through our own labor, the fruits of which are stolen through false, assumed contracts by government entities?
Consider this. You wake up in the morning (or whatever time of day) to go to work and earn a living. Your labor is your property. Your labor is traded equally for the property of others and usually reflected by fiat notes given you by the place you work. Well, for the first four, nearly five hours of the day, your property - your labor - effectively goes directly to the government. This is theft, flat out and simple, no matter courts of statutory jurisdiction letting the government get by with it.
And, we wonder why so many have trouble "making ends meet". A government that is incapable of solving problems and obeying the supreme Law of the Land takes your "earnings". Your labor ends up supporting such regimes as the corporate US Government, Israel, financing the bin Ladins of the world, killing leaders of other countries and establishing leaders who bow to the will of those in power, creating and/or supporting groups of people intent on removing all rights of the people (FBI, DEA, CIA, NSA, NSC, IMF, CFR, Tri-Lateral Commission, Federal Reserve, NATO, and the UN, to name a few). And this doesn't include the support of dozens upon dozens of what are called "agencies", bureaus, or "departments" in federal, state, and local governments.
Thirty billion "dollars" spent annually in detecting and preventing invasions of our shores and billions more spent to "buy" the alliance of other countries. And for what? Warnings from the intelligence communities of not only this government but also from at least four other countries meant nothing. No defenses were activated September 11, 2001. Instead, hundreds - perhaps thousands - secretly received advance warnings to not fly - Ashkraut being one of them - while others were warned not to show up at work. Funny, though, isn't it that the former head of terrorism investigation was not warned. And, so O'Neill died in WTC - with his personal knowledge of terrorist activities lost.
And the current administration has the gall to say there was no way anyone could have known of the WTC attack in advance. Yeah, right. If you are ignorant enough to believe that, why don't you buy up the prime property the writer has for sale in la-la land? He could damn sure use the money.
Speaking of believing, why is it that if a 1000 people are asked if they believe politicians tell the truth, at least 600 to 700 - maybe even 999 - will say no. Actually, no one the author has questioned in the past 30 years believed politicians tell the truth. Every election has been one "of the lesser of the evils". And yet, when the politicians in government tell some fabricated story belying the truth of some atrocity the government has committed, the same people who don't believe politicians have any integrity believe everything the politician says.
Doesn't figure does it? Except the person believing such crappola is relieved from maybe having to do something about it. You know, back to the boob tube or whatever - anything but finding out the truth and confronting the corrupted with it.
We - the people of this now somewhat sad country full of the fearful and weak-hearted - apparently have a majority of people who believe the guy (actually his spokespeople and handlers) in the White House, a person that has likely never told the truth in his very limited public life, tells only the truth. It seems that daily another lie of his is exposed - but not, of course, by the controlled media.
Or, if a small blurb hits mainstream media, it is quickly spun away as a "youthful mistake" or something else just as ridiculous - "well, shucks, ya'll people I care so dearly for (compassion) - I just didn't know my people were doing that (something illegal)."
Law enforcers
Law enforcers (formerly known as peace officers) are called law enforcers because they are enforcing laws. But, the laws being enforced are not the law of the land this country was founded on. Thus, law enforcers are little more than armed robbers.
Actually, it would be better to confront an actual armed robber since one can at least defend themselves against them. Try that against law enforcers, even though the rights and laws they violate are the same rights and laws violated by any other armed and dangerous felon.
This attitude against cops and other enforcers will not be apologized for, as it is the attitude every American should have. It is We, the American people, who deserve an apology from them since these "enforcers" are no different than the Gestapo of Germany preceding and during World War II. The enforcers stop Americans in violation of the U.S. Constitution, your state's Constitution, and - believe it or not - in violation of dozens of your state's statutes.
You see, not only do American Citizens not know the law and statutes, neither do the traitors known as law enforcers who force people - especially the knowledgeable ones - into compliance to administrative and under color of authority laws.
For example, ask one of the treasonous enforcers - if you dare his wrath - why he isn't upholding the Constitution and who or what the administrative law he is "enforcing" applies to. Demand to see the search warrant describing a person or car that looks like yours and showing you exactly what he is looking for the next time one of these denizens stops you in your travels. Demand to see probable cause and tell him his job is to assure due process is followed exactly. Ask him explain why he is applying a statute to you - the sovereign - that is in fact only meant to apply to commercial artificial entities.
Don't do this on a lonely road or without dozens of brave witnesses who will come forward and defend you against the enforcer, though. Let him violate all your rights if you want to live, not be beaten, thrown down on the side of the road, and/or thrown in some crappy jail being ran by these minions of terror to "correct" behaviors - a term for forcing compliance to government tyrannies.
Isn't this what all the experts recommend - do as they (law enforcers) say just so you can safely escape their clutches. And, it is no wonder enforcers get away with arrests, beatings, killings, incarcerations, and seizures time after time. Their role is now part of a criminal racketeering enterprise composed of lawmakers, law enforcers, judges, and correction facilities. This crime syndicate accounts for billions of dollars of private property stolen from Americans each and every year in fines, unlawful taxes (including licenses), and property seizures.
The racket also results in dozens of lives lost or seriously interfered with or destroyed. Innocent people are left with physical and/or psychological scars forever because of aggressive "let's beat them if they don't like it" enforcers who wouldn't recognize the Constitution if it grabbed them by their treasonous throats and began choking the life out of them.
And, then some of these enforcers actually have the gall to say they are "serving" the people, upholding the Constitution, protecting people's rights, and feel proud as they walk into church presenting the fa?ade of being a Christian doing God's work. 'Course, this is after some of them have just parked the 60,000 "dollar" car seized in an unconstitutional and often fictitious drug bust. Such makes this American Citizen so mad he could just spit.
Judges and administrative laws
Judges - those blankety-blanks figuratively or actually in black robes - commit treason in courts across the nation nearly every time an American Citizen stands before them. These black-robed thieves cause thousands of thefts of American Citizen's property annually. Ask some judge the same questions you asked the enforcer or make the same demands. Just try telling the judge he is the servant - an artificial entity created by the People to act as the referee in a common law court - while the flesh and blood human before him is his sovereign, the servant's boss.
Understand you haven't any defense against these local racketeering bosses since bar attorneys have established the fact that judges, bar attorneys, officials, and law enforcers are above - or more likely - outside the natural laws that should guide all human behavior. They are privileged "nobility" with titles of honor - and should have forfeited their citizenship - but that is another story lying in the hidden original 13th Amendment.
Administrative laws are meant only to govern the governing body and other artificial entities, not the natural men and women. That is why they are called "administrative laws". Court cites - opinions - mean absolutely nothing to the natural man except when they comply fully and completely with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Try telling that to some brainwashed or thoroughly corrupted bar attorney or judge operating under Admiralty/maritime jurisdiction or the official who somehow came to believe he is all knowing and all-powerful because of being elected or appointed to some position. The deceits just don't end. Admiralty or maritime jurisdiction is now called Statutory Jurisdiction in order to hide the truth (few of us live or conduct commerce on the high seas) that the courts of the Constitution and Natural Law have been effectively destroyed by treasonous government entities.
You see, judges, bar attorneys, cops, legislators, and executive branches haven't any power to interpret the law of the land. Our law of the land is based on Natural Law with the American Citizen above and far beyond all written law legislated by mere mortals.
Furthermore, we cannot interfere with government and commit crimes against it. It has no rights to interfere with and, therefore, no "crime" may be committed against it - except by artificial entities it is meant to regulate. It is no different than the impossibility of a king of old committing a crime against the freemen and serfs below him. The sovereign - the people either individually or as a whole - have the same power as the king of old.
Well, those who lack integrity, Christian beliefs, and believe only they have the right to determine what men may or may not do couldn't (and can't) stand common law and the fact that the people are the sovereign. Thus, enter the fraud of the Universal Commercial Code and fraudulently applying Admiralty/Maritime Law to us.
People who have been misled through hundreds of deceits are allowing these "apparently from Hell" minions to tell us they can treat us as being subjects of Admiralty law, that we cannot worship as we wish, that they have the authority to stop us in our travels, that we must get their permission to travel, to marry, to use our own labor in establishing and running a business, that we have to pay them tax on our property, and so on. These are examples of privileges that apply only to government regulated artificial entities contracted with the feds or states but have now been applied we who are supposed to be free of the plenary powers of kings and dictators.
What can we do? What can we do?
People ask - "What can we do?" Well, first off, this is our country. Neither Bush nor any other federal, state, or local officials are our bosses. WE ARE THE BOSSES. WE ARE THE SOVERIEGN. We answer only to a power far superior to mere men - our Creator. In this respect, it matters not one whit what government agents say - we all should just ignore their "orders" or work to get them fired.
Darn it, People, officials cannot tell us what to do - except by using armed force to back them up. Like it or not, law enforcers using armed force against the American people is also no different than some other country invading this one with military troops. Why the devil can't people understand this? If we don't permit them to order us to comply, then they haven't any power. They and their bogus laws have been nullified.
We have to start someplace but not as lonely individuals here and there. People who belong to groups can get together with the highest law enforcement of each state - the county sheriff. Why? Because if a sheriff knows his duty and his authority to stop all federal invasions, along with his responsibility to stop under color of law acts by local officials against the property of the people, perhaps he will act to educate his department and other law enforcers - converting them hopefully back to the peace officers and defenders of freedom they are supposed to be - and actually serve the people.
Note the word "serve". Officials are either to serve the people by upholding the Constitution or they are to be put out of office and, in some cases, tried and convicted for treason. We, the people, hold that power over them. So, why the hell is Congress allowed to be full of felons (the words of J. McCain in 1999 or 2000) and why are we allowing these treasonous blankety-blanks to pass legislation and then forcing compliance by the people of the states through the use of armed enforcers. We are not under their jurisdiction; we are only under the jurisdiction of common law and the Natural Law of our Creator.
The Oath
Note this. Officials have a contract with the people. It is called their Oath of Office. It is not an implied, inferred, or understood contract - it is a bona fide contract. Before they can assume the duties of office, they must subscribe to an Oath of Office to uphold the Constitution. Shouldn't it have precedent over unrevealed commercial "agreements" Americans are unaware of - those implied performance contracts with government compelling performance? Common law says "yes" to this.
Darn it all - Congress has admitted they do not even read bills but pass them into "law" totally ignorant of the contents of the bill except that their behind the scenes bosses told them to vote for it (or not vote for it, whichever is dictated by circumstances). What kind of decision-making is that? Treasonous, one would think, especially when nearly every law passed in the last 140 years does not protect unalienable rights and is in direct violation to their oaths. These statutes are but a fraudulent basis for the government using armed enforcers to force people into Admiralty or Maritime jurisdiction.
Besides, if they are too busy to read bills before voting, just what is it they are too busy at? And, if this isn't enough, why don't these so-called "representatives" of the people of the states know that every law passed applies only to corporations, other artificial entities, and geographic areas under its jurisdiction but not to the natural by birthright American Citizen?
Of course, the same applies to local governments. They know not what freedom means, nor can they tell you the exact authority they have in making "city ordinances" and the like. They subscribe to an oath, then turn around, and make anything they want as "law". They then use the local law enforcers and courts to force compliance to the tyrannical, unconstitutional under color ordinances.
So, begin filing charges or lawsuits against these entities using their rules and forcing them onto your battlefield. Put them on the defensive. Otherwise, officials will keep violating rights. They feel secure doing so probably because most people just hand over their money and property rather than fighting "city hall". People feel sheer hopelessness in combating the enforcers and judges who will happily restrict rights of Natural Law and the Common Law. It should not be that way - it is wrong, wrong, wrong, as Gomer Pyle used to say.
The alternative for the weak spirited is to just let the government figuratively kill them as independent human beings. Give up all your God-given rights. Become an artificial entity controlled by the fools and devils in disguise in what is supposed to be our government.
Admit to yourself you are too weak to fight them and feel the shame of being a coward. Allow the Satanists in and behind government to destroy Christianity and faith, simultaneously destroying human rights. Assure 100 percent involuntary servitude for your offspring and their offspring. Just bend over and let them have their way with you, raping you of all human dignity and individuality.
By the way, there is constitutionally no such thing as a frivolous lawsuit or official immunity. These are falsehoods made up by bar attorneys to protect themselves and officials, treasonous practices that are another effect of Admiralty/maritime law. Either you were damaged or you weren't - but it isn't up to some black-robed, holier-than-thou judge ordering a hearing in his military court to decide without due process. It is up to a jury of your peers AFTER they receive all the facts, including the power of jury nullification.
No one can remove your right to sue - check the Constitution. Heck, check the definition of person and your state's Constitution, since both affirm the right to sue, and convey it even to artificial "persons". If you believe you have been damaged, it is your right to have your case heard and decided upon by your peers.
But, then, if the people of this nation do not destroy all Admiralty/maritime/statutory jurisdictional courts and re-establish Natural Law and the common law courts of the Constitution, then there isn't much hope of human rights enduring, not without a long extremely bloody battle against the evil forces consuming all that is decent and good about the human race.
Regardless, though, any man or woman can currently initiate actions against officials using the Universal Commercial Code. Use their laws against them. And you may lose all. But, without risk, nothing is gained.
However, there are a couple of sources of gain. One is that the official(s) know that you know of their corruption. This will leak out. Also, there is gain if each case causes just a few more people to understand the purpose of government and the rights of man. Besides, letting things continue as they are and you will lose your property anyway - and possibly your life when total absolute control is established by the removal of arms from American Citizens.
GET MAD!
Think, for Pete's sake. You won't let me or a neighbor tell you what to do so why do you let elected officials - many of which have no more qualification for running for office other than the money to do so - tell you what to do? That isn't their job or within their authority given them. Their job and authority is to administer the government and to regulate artificial entities the government creates. They have NO authority over you, your private life, or your private property. Get that - let me yell it out - THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER YOU.
Not loud enough? How about - - - THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER YOU!!! YOU - EACH AND EVERY BLESSED ONE OF YOU - ARE SOVEREIGN TO GOVERNMENT!!! YOU ARE THE MASTER - IT IS YOUR SERVANT!!!
Educators
Is the above so hard to understand? Well, it might be because our people have been brainwashed by experts controlling government schools and other professional disinformationists. This doesn't necessarily refer to the teachers since most of them are just as brainwashed and ignorant as 90 percent of the people.
Those teachers who begin to understand leave the system or get fired. The crime against society in the case of the writer being fired as a teacher (not offered a contract, anyway) was most serious. He pushed for students at least knowing how to read when they graduated high school. Darn, but the administration of the school and the Missouri State Teachers Association didn't seem to like that at all since (it seemed) public knowledge of the lack of reading ability of graduating people might reflect on their abilities as educators.
Anyway, forget the rhetoric educators and legislators spout about "more effectively teaching the children" and that schools need more money to be effective. They teach the children all right but not the tools to understand government, to think for one's self, and the absolute power of the people in a republic form of government. So, the problem isn't money - it is what is being taught.
Teachers, if you teach the children the truth, then the above doesn't apply to you. But, if you teach them the stuff in government approved textbooks full of government disinformation and/or you do NOT fight tooth and nail to correct situations - such as 50 percent of graduating seniors not being able to read - and do not teach young people to have independent thoughts - even if those thoughts disagree with your own - then it does apply.
"For the children"
Speaking of children, what government initiated "for the children" program can you name that hasn't worked to destroy the family unit, human independence, and freedom of thought? Come on - surely there must be one.
Well, of course, there isn't one. So, here is something you can do if you want to help the children. Get a group of people who understand liberty and unalienable rights - along with the purpose of government - together with your local teachers and administration (just more government bureaucrats). Force them to answer questions concerning the founding of this nation and the goals public education should have say at - hmm, how about a Board of Education meeting. Do not allow run around answers the way interviewers on TV do with politicians and their spokespeople.
Find out for a fact how utterly ignorant these people are of our founding, the Christian basis of our founding, the importance of the Declaration of Independence, and the fact that the Constitution does not give rights but secures God-given rights by limiting government to protecting the people and their natural rights.
Then, force the firing of all who do not know the correct answers and replace them with people who do know. After all, one can't teach what one doesn't know. The local board of education has the power to fire anytime and the people have power over them. Even tenure can be gotten around. The dissemination of false information is a crime against the people.
Remember that. FALSE INFORMATION SPREAD BY ELECTED/APPOINTED OFFICIALS IS A CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE and is especially true since most of it results in unlawful and illegal taxation. It is fraud and may entail other defined crimes officials can commit that natural people cannot.
Take your school back
Darn it - and a whole bunch of other stronger expletives - but it is the lives of your children and the country known as America that are at stake. Schools are supposed to be a tool of the people meant only to spout and teach the truth, not to spread government fabricated myths meant to establish brainwashed non-thinking human livestock. This country is not meant to be a society of slaves and those who "own" them.
Take the school of your town back - you own it; the government doesn't. If the administration of the school doesn't like it - or the local law enforcers don't like it - then hog-tie the entire bunch and try them en masse for treason, obstruction of justice, and all other crimes you can come up with. Once convicted - the absolute certain decision in a common law Article III court since few parents like their child damaged by others - either hang them for treason or put them to work for the balance of their lives as slaves to the town. At the very least, fire them and make their lives so miserable they leave town.
I would wager that there are people right there in your community that can teach the necessary tools for being an American Citizen better than those now filling the teacher's roster. They are the people who should be with your children exciting them to learn, including what America is supposed to be. This country and the world needs youth of all races, religions, creeds, and so on who have the ability and knowledge to further mankind on his road to self-actualization and world peace, and not to remain ignorant and bowing to the tyrannies and deceits of present governments.
The problem here is that - well, I don't know how else to put it - just how many people in your community know the importance of the Declaration of Independence, the foundations for Natural Law, the Constitution (including amendments), the actual real power of the people over the governments they create, and that man-made statutes and ordinances do not apply to American Citizens. Then, of those, how many have the guts to stand up to tyranny and out-of-control law enforcers? And, finally, how many of those are willing to take the time to confront the "educators"?
Intentional and unintentional disinformation
Another very simple but valuable tool against tyranny is to shut off the boob tube and quit buying newspapers and magazines that are filled with fabrications by the government propaganda experts. Examples are Bush presented as a "compassionate conservative" or that those in government just care about "protecting and serving" the people. What a load of extremely putrid rotting manure these and thousands of other lies are.
Government that is controlled by foreign organizations does what it does in order to enslave the people not only of this country, but all countries. It does not care about your parent's children, your children, or your children's children. Those who fill government offices are not Christians (except in their imaginations or drunken/drugged stupors) or members of any group that sincerely believes in the natural rights of people. They do not have any respect for you and yours with their actions daily proving this as fact. Why the devil do so many ignore what these traitors are doing?
There are literally millions of people paying taxes who know that any form of direct tax is illegal and unlawful when placed on the property of American Citizens that are not in any way, shape, or form under regulation by the government. And some of these who continue paying are tax "gurus". What stops them from refusing to pay or confronting officials? Could it be FEAR?
If it is, get some guts. Tell the IRS to kiss off and stay in its jurisdiction. Tell your boss that he will stop withholding (look up 26 CFR 31.3402(p)-1) your earnings and giving it to the foreign bank, the Federal Reserve. After all, withholding is voluntary for both you and your boss. It cannot be required. The W-4 is merely a request form to participate in the Ponzi scheme known as Social Security, and is actually a Subtitle C form, not a federal income tax form (Subtitle A). And "federal" means just that - a tax on income under federal jurisdiction. And that does not include the states.
If you can't do the above because of fear - and that is exactly what you will feel in your gut as midnight, April 15th approaches or as you approach your boss - how the hell do you expect that you will NOT turn in your firearms when foreigners trained by the US Government, the US Military, and paramilitary cops come to your home to confiscate your arms and taking anything else they have an inkling for, or doing anything they want to you and your family, including separating your family and hauling any dissenters off to US Government concentration camps?
And, then there are the millions who cannot learn anything unless someone tells them.
You see, they can't read. But, what they are told is seldom the truth but is instead disinformation, misinformation, and blatant lies or hearsay by their buddies, family, and associates. And, there are millions of these well-meaning - but ignorant - people who are spreading disinformation unintentionally because of ignorance.
They are easy to recognize. These people act as if they are experts, for example, in tax but fail to know the simplicity of it all. Nothing the US Government does legislatively should affect American Citizens, meaning the natural born people of natural born people in a state of the union. The authority to legislate by the US Government extends only to specified areas under federal control. THIS JURISDICTION AND AUTHORITY DOES NOT EXTEND TO THE MANY STATES even in times of actual bona fide war (declared by Congress). Adding to this is that case law (opinions of courts) since 1938 used by courts to convict people is always repugnant to the Constitution and the natural rights of man.
Furthermore, state governments and political subdivisions haven't any jurisdiction over you and your rights. So, scratch their administrative regulations when applied unconstitutionally to the sovereign. Misinformation and disinformation about the real jurisdiction of officials have caused people to believe that some elected guy from down the street has the power of God over us. To that, I say bull - and so should all Americans.
Political correctness and religion
Millions do NOT know we are a Christian nation and that the founders founded it based on Christian principles even though some were not Christians. However, even those forefathers who were not devout Christians recognized the natural rights of Man. Therefore, regardless of religious affiliation or no affiliation, religions beliefs and expressions of it are rights and not to be interfered with, not by legislators, atheists, or any other persons, natural or artificial.
And, I dare say no atheist is damaged because a town is decorated with Christian symbols during Christmas. Or because someone uses the word "God". Or the Supreme Being. All that is just political correctness crap and is started by some idiot - or group of idiots - trying to make a name for himself, the group, or by those who want to keep the people divided.
This is my declaration. I will decorate or not decorate as I please and if any object and force themselves on my property - law enforcers or not - then I will defend my home and my rights with every weapon I have available. Their invasion will be considered an act of war against me and my country.
Make a stand
Speaking of defending homes and rights, make your own stand and quit asking "what can I do" or "have you been successful" or copping out by saying some damn worthless excuse such as "I'll wait and see what happens with you" or "we need to focus on just this".
I have had all these multiple times and others, such as "it won't work - you're wasting your time" - "watch your back" - "we don't have any choice". Sometimes one might think that if people spent as much time thinking of reasons TO act as they do to NOT act, real progress against tyranny might be the result. Anyway, all these lame-duck excuses are just cop-outs covering up fear to take action or - heaven forbid - to actually stop obeying laws that do not apply to them.
Learn the definitions applying to statutes in your state. Municipalities are just an extension of the state so it is imperative that one knows how to read laws if he/she wants to understand the extent of the horrendous frauds that have been and are being committed against the sovereign - the American Citizen.
Anyway, here's the deal - DO SOMETHING. Nothing is ever accomplished until one begins to do something. People fail to understand that each failure leads eventually to success. If what is tried doesn't work, then revise the plan and do something else but always learn from the failures you experience and the failures/successes of others. Most important, though, never stop trying and once one has entered the field of battle, never leave it until the issue resolved to your satisfaction.
Just look at what that woman did with MADD. She ended up creating billions of dollars of annual revenue for state governments and insurance companies even though 99.9999 percent or so of people driving home from a bar or a party never harm another soul. But, if stopped in an illegal stop by law enforcers, these people innocent of any crime (without a victim and intent to damage, a sovereign cannot commit a "crime") are seriously damaged by the enforcement of ridiculous and unconstitutional anti-drinking laws.
Use the energy of disgust - or dislike - for a good purpose rather than wasting it venting frustrations by merely griping. In fact, never vent by griping - experience the energy that builds up inside you. Let it build until you are essentially forced to take action against officials infringing upon your rights.
That's my tool for spending the time and effort in researching, analyzing, assimilating and accommodating information, writing articles, and then trying to force local officials to obey the law of the land even though many friends and family have told me it won't do any good. How the heck can one know it won't work if one doesn't try? And - possibly most important - how could one live with himself if he knows and doesn't try?
Conclusion
The one guarantee we all have is that if local officials are attacked enough times by enough people, the fear the people feel will be transferred to the officials and, once started, it will spread like a wildfire. And I don't give a damn whether it is a mayor, city council member, cop, judge, or any other agent of the government - concerned people carrying out actions against them repeatedly will instill fear of future actions being taken against them - that is, if they still have their jobs after the people invoke justice. When the fear permeates their very being - just as fear of government now does you - it will be just as effective as fear created by the government has been in controlling the people.
Also, if local officials (city, county) have the devil scared out of them, the fear will begin permeating upwards and outwards, the same as heat at the bottom of a heating pan of water begins permeating throughout the water. So, let's put on the heat at the bottom and then watch as the domino effect takes place. The strength of the people will grow as fear will diminishes in the people. Also, strength will increase in the people as fear increases in officials.
Begin creating fear in them by getting together with friends and sending affidavits of truth to local officials informing them of their obligations to the people and the principles this nation was founded on and that you all are natural human beings under Natural Law and are bound by the statutes/ordinances made by them that violate your rights. Inform the sheriff likewise and that you will defend you home and the American people against the tyrannies engulfing us.
The writer initiated actions against local officials a few months ago and is preparing the proper paperwork to begin confronting state and federal officials who are supposed to be representing him and defending his unalienable rights. Since they are going along with every unconstitutional edict by the Bush bunch of marauders against freedom, they are violating their Oaths of Office along with the probability of Title 18 criminal violations. Thus, the writer hasn't any choice but to do what he can to help stop this flow of tyranny.
Many people- especially politicians and their spokespeople - have said that the fraudulent "official immunity" and "frivolous lawsuit" laws are needed so that officials wouldn't be afraid to do their jobs. What a crock that is since "their job" is to never make or allow any law contrary to our unalienable rights. How can charging them with crimes or suing them for various violations of the Constitution and state statutes cause them to fear "doing their jobs"? Think about it.
One of our founders said something along the lines that a government who fears the people will NEVER develop tyranny but the government that knows the people fear it will ALWAYS develop into a totalitarian state.
And, the proof of this, Ladies and Gentleman, is right outside your door.
Rather frustrating as a fact is that this writer knows it is up to the people to correct the wrongs. Elected officials aren't going to because they are the ones who perpetuate the destruction of human rights.
It is sad and extremely disheartening to think that the people may be found wanting when push comes to shove (where we are right now). This will leave the hundreds of people who are trying to educate the rest of our people kind of hanging out there on a limb over an abyss. It makes them very easy targets for the bloodthirsty tyrants intent on removing the sovereignty of the United States of America - meaning the union of the states. America does not include the US GOVERNMENT, a corporation foreign to the union of states housed only in the District of Columbia.
As long as people continue believing the traitors to human rights now filling all levels of government, in short time the world as we know it will be destroyed with no remnants of human rights remaining.
But it won't be by the terrorists the Bush administration says is responsible. It will be by the bogus wars against drugs, crime, and terrorism created and perpetuated by the US Government, along with the thousands of statutes/ordinances that remove rights. These actions by the US Government and aided by state/local governments assure the process of destroying our freedom is healthy and being carried out.
Our days as free autonomous human beings are numbered, People, unless the majority come to realize the most serious threat to freedom comes from those given the responsibility to uphold our Constitution and to provide the defense for our shores, our rights as natural creations, and little else.
And so I mourn the loss of all that America once stood for - land of the free and home of the brave.

"If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege." - Arkansas Supreme Court, 1878
"Independence"
by Ed Lewis
Most of my life is spent living in fear for the American people and the people of the rest of the world. The fear does not stem from threats made by other countries. It is caused by current US Government officials and the scare tactics being used to induce support for the Bush administration's military and overt aggressions against other countries and/or their leaders. The aggressions are unfounded as defensive measures and are accordingly resulting in great anger against America and within America. Thus, July 4 was a day of mourning for this American Citizen, not a day of celebration.
What is there to celebrate - that we are still alive and breathing? Freedom defined by privileges issued by elected people who assume the powers of God while ripping the Constitution to shreds? Being part of forcing the most deadly empire that has ever existed on all peoples of the Earth?
Or are we a part of it? Is it not true we are forced into compliance at the end of a gun, whether figuratively or in actuality, that our part in our own losses of freedom and in world domination is to finance the wants of the evil we have in government through our own labor, the fruits of which are stolen through false, assumed contracts by government entities?
Consider this. You wake up in the morning (or whatever time of day) to go to work and earn a living. Your labor is your property. Your labor is traded equally for the property of others and usually reflected by fiat notes given you by the place you work. Well, for the first four, nearly five hours of the day, your property - your labor - effectively goes directly to the government. This is theft, flat out and simple, no matter courts of statutory jurisdiction letting the government get by with it.
And, we wonder why so many have trouble "making ends meet". A government that is incapable of solving problems and obeying the supreme Law of the Land takes your "earnings". Your labor ends up supporting such regimes as the corporate US Government, Israel, financing the bin Ladins of the world, killing leaders of other countries and establishing leaders who bow to the will of those in power, creating and/or supporting groups of people intent on removing all rights of the people (FBI, DEA, CIA, NSA, NSC, IMF, CFR, Tri-Lateral Commission, Federal Reserve, NATO, and the UN, to name a few). And this doesn't include the support of dozens upon dozens of what are called "agencies", bureaus, or "departments" in federal, state, and local governments.
Thirty billion "dollars" spent annually in detecting and preventing invasions of our shores and billions more spent to "buy" the alliance of other countries. And for what? Warnings from the intelligence communities of not only this government but also from at least four other countries meant nothing. No defenses were activated September 11, 2001. Instead, hundreds - perhaps thousands - secretly received advance warnings to not fly - Ashkraut being one of them - while others were warned not to show up at work. Funny, though, isn't it that the former head of terrorism investigation was not warned. And, so O'Neill died in WTC - with his personal knowledge of terrorist activities lost.
And the current administration has the gall to say there was no way anyone could have known of the WTC attack in advance. Yeah, right. If you are ignorant enough to believe that, why don't you buy up the prime property the writer has for sale in la-la land? He could damn sure use the money.
Speaking of believing, why is it that if a 1000 people are asked if they believe politicians tell the truth, at least 600 to 700 - maybe even 999 - will say no. Actually, no one the author has questioned in the past 30 years believed politicians tell the truth. Every election has been one "of the lesser of the evils". And yet, when the politicians in government tell some fabricated story belying the truth of some atrocity the government has committed, the same people who don't believe politicians have any integrity believe everything the politician says.
Doesn't figure does it? Except the person believing such crappola is relieved from maybe having to do something about it. You know, back to the boob tube or whatever - anything but finding out the truth and confronting the corrupted with it.
We - the people of this now somewhat sad country full of the fearful and weak-hearted - apparently have a majority of people who believe the guy (actually his spokespeople and handlers) in the White House, a person that has likely never told the truth in his very limited public life, tells only the truth. It seems that daily another lie of his is exposed - but not, of course, by the controlled media.
Or, if a small blurb hits mainstream media, it is quickly spun away as a "youthful mistake" or something else just as ridiculous - "well, shucks, ya'll people I care so dearly for (compassion) - I just didn't know my people were doing that (something illegal)."
Law enforcers
Law enforcers (formerly known as peace officers) are called law enforcers because they are enforcing laws. But, the laws being enforced are not the law of the land this country was founded on. Thus, law enforcers are little more than armed robbers.
Actually, it would be better to confront an actual armed robber since one can at least defend themselves against them. Try that against law enforcers, even though the rights and laws they violate are the same rights and laws violated by any other armed and dangerous felon.
This attitude against cops and other enforcers will not be apologized for, as it is the attitude every American should have. It is We, the American people, who deserve an apology from them since these "enforcers" are no different than the Gestapo of Germany preceding and during World War II. The enforcers stop Americans in violation of the U.S. Constitution, your state's Constitution, and - believe it or not - in violation of dozens of your state's statutes.
You see, not only do American Citizens not know the law and statutes, neither do the traitors known as law enforcers who force people - especially the knowledgeable ones - into compliance to administrative and under color of authority laws.
For example, ask one of the treasonous enforcers - if you dare his wrath - why he isn't upholding the Constitution and who or what the administrative law he is "enforcing" applies to. Demand to see the search warrant describing a person or car that looks like yours and showing you exactly what he is looking for the next time one of these denizens stops you in your travels. Demand to see probable cause and tell him his job is to assure due process is followed exactly. Ask him explain why he is applying a statute to you - the sovereign - that is in fact only meant to apply to commercial artificial entities.
Don't do this on a lonely road or without dozens of brave witnesses who will come forward and defend you against the enforcer, though. Let him violate all your rights if you want to live, not be beaten, thrown down on the side of the road, and/or thrown in some crappy jail being ran by these minions of terror to "correct" behaviors - a term for forcing compliance to government tyrannies.
Isn't this what all the experts recommend - do as they (law enforcers) say just so you can safely escape their clutches. And, it is no wonder enforcers get away with arrests, beatings, killings, incarcerations, and seizures time after time. Their role is now part of a criminal racketeering enterprise composed of lawmakers, law enforcers, judges, and correction facilities. This crime syndicate accounts for billions of dollars of private property stolen from Americans each and every year in fines, unlawful taxes (including licenses), and property seizures.
The racket also results in dozens of lives lost or seriously interfered with or destroyed. Innocent people are left with physical and/or psychological scars forever because of aggressive "let's beat them if they don't like it" enforcers who wouldn't recognize the Constitution if it grabbed them by their treasonous throats and began choking the life out of them.
And, then some of these enforcers actually have the gall to say they are "serving" the people, upholding the Constitution, protecting people's rights, and feel proud as they walk into church presenting the fa?ade of being a Christian doing God's work. 'Course, this is after some of them have just parked the 60,000 "dollar" car seized in an unconstitutional and often fictitious drug bust. Such makes this American Citizen so mad he could just spit.
Judges and administrative laws
Judges - those blankety-blanks figuratively or actually in black robes - commit treason in courts across the nation nearly every time an American Citizen stands before them. These black-robed thieves cause thousands of thefts of American Citizen's property annually. Ask some judge the same questions you asked the enforcer or make the same demands. Just try telling the judge he is the servant - an artificial entity created by the People to act as the referee in a common law court - while the flesh and blood human before him is his sovereign, the servant's boss.
Understand you haven't any defense against these local racketeering bosses since bar attorneys have established the fact that judges, bar attorneys, officials, and law enforcers are above - or more likely - outside the natural laws that should guide all human behavior. They are privileged "nobility" with titles of honor - and should have forfeited their citizenship - but that is another story lying in the hidden original 13th Amendment.
Administrative laws are meant only to govern the governing body and other artificial entities, not the natural men and women. That is why they are called "administrative laws". Court cites - opinions - mean absolutely nothing to the natural man except when they comply fully and completely with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Try telling that to some brainwashed or thoroughly corrupted bar attorney or judge operating under Admiralty/maritime jurisdiction or the official who somehow came to believe he is all knowing and all-powerful because of being elected or appointed to some position. The deceits just don't end. Admiralty or maritime jurisdiction is now called Statutory Jurisdiction in order to hide the truth (few of us live or conduct commerce on the high seas) that the courts of the Constitution and Natural Law have been effectively destroyed by treasonous government entities.
You see, judges, bar attorneys, cops, legislators, and executive branches haven't any power to interpret the law of the land. Our law of the land is based on Natural Law with the American Citizen above and far beyond all written law legislated by mere mortals.
Furthermore, we cannot interfere with government and commit crimes against it. It has no rights to interfere with and, therefore, no "crime" may be committed against it - except by artificial entities it is meant to regulate. It is no different than the impossibility of a king of old committing a crime against the freemen and serfs below him. The sovereign - the people either individually or as a whole - have the same power as the king of old.
Well, those who lack integrity, Christian beliefs, and believe only they have the right to determine what men may or may not do couldn't (and can't) stand common law and the fact that the people are the sovereign. Thus, enter the fraud of the Universal Commercial Code and fraudulently applying Admiralty/Maritime Law to us.
People who have been misled through hundreds of deceits are allowing these "apparently from Hell" minions to tell us they can treat us as being subjects of Admiralty law, that we cannot worship as we wish, that they have the authority to stop us in our travels, that we must get their permission to travel, to marry, to use our own labor in establishing and running a business, that we have to pay them tax on our property, and so on. These are examples of privileges that apply only to government regulated artificial entities contracted with the feds or states but have now been applied we who are supposed to be free of the plenary powers of kings and dictators.
What can we do? What can we do?
People ask - "What can we do?" Well, first off, this is our country. Neither Bush nor any other federal, state, or local officials are our bosses. WE ARE THE BOSSES. WE ARE THE SOVERIEGN. We answer only to a power far superior to mere men - our Creator. In this respect, it matters not one whit what government agents say - we all should just ignore their "orders" or work to get them fired.
Darn it, People, officials cannot tell us what to do - except by using armed force to back them up. Like it or not, law enforcers using armed force against the American people is also no different than some other country invading this one with military troops. Why the devil can't people understand this? If we don't permit them to order us to comply, then they haven't any power. They and their bogus laws have been nullified.
We have to start someplace but not as lonely individuals here and there. People who belong to groups can get together with the highest law enforcement of each state - the county sheriff. Why? Because if a sheriff knows his duty and his authority to stop all federal invasions, along with his responsibility to stop under color of law acts by local officials against the property of the people, perhaps he will act to educate his department and other law enforcers - converting them hopefully back to the peace officers and defenders of freedom they are supposed to be - and actually serve the people.
Note the word "serve". Officials are either to serve the people by upholding the Constitution or they are to be put out of office and, in some cases, tried and convicted for treason. We, the people, hold that power over them. So, why the hell is Congress allowed to be full of felons (the words of J. McCain in 1999 or 2000) and why are we allowing these treasonous blankety-blanks to pass legislation and then forcing compliance by the people of the states through the use of armed enforcers. We are not under their jurisdiction; we are only under the jurisdiction of common law and the Natural Law of our Creator.
The Oath
Note this. Officials have a contract with the people. It is called their Oath of Office. It is not an implied, inferred, or understood contract - it is a bona fide contract. Before they can assume the duties of office, they must subscribe to an Oath of Office to uphold the Constitution. Shouldn't it have precedent over unrevealed commercial "agreements" Americans are unaware of - those implied performance contracts with government compelling performance? Common law says "yes" to this.
Darn it all - Congress has admitted they do not even read bills but pass them into "law" totally ignorant of the contents of the bill except that their behind the scenes bosses told them to vote for it (or not vote for it, whichever is dictated by circumstances). What kind of decision-making is that? Treasonous, one would think, especially when nearly every law passed in the last 140 years does not protect unalienable rights and is in direct violation to their oaths. These statutes are but a fraudulent basis for the government using armed enforcers to force people into Admiralty or Maritime jurisdiction.
Besides, if they are too busy to read bills before voting, just what is it they are too busy at? And, if this isn't enough, why don't these so-called "representatives" of the people of the states know that every law passed applies only to corporations, other artificial entities, and geographic areas under its jurisdiction but not to the natural by birthright American Citizen?
Of course, the same applies to local governments. They know not what freedom means, nor can they tell you the exact authority they have in making "city ordinances" and the like. They subscribe to an oath, then turn around, and make anything they want as "law". They then use the local law enforcers and courts to force compliance to the tyrannical, unconstitutional under color ordinances.
So, begin filing charges or lawsuits against these entities using their rules and forcing them onto your battlefield. Put them on the defensive. Otherwise, officials will keep violating rights. They feel secure doing so probably because most people just hand over their money and property rather than fighting "city hall". People feel sheer hopelessness in combating the enforcers and judges who will happily restrict rights of Natural Law and the Common Law. It should not be that way - it is wrong, wrong, wrong, as Gomer Pyle used to say.
The alternative for the weak spirited is to just let the government figuratively kill them as independent human beings. Give up all your God-given rights. Become an artificial entity controlled by the fools and devils in disguise in what is supposed to be our government.
Admit to yourself you are too weak to fight them and feel the shame of being a coward. Allow the Satanists in and behind government to destroy Christianity and faith, simultaneously destroying human rights. Assure 100 percent involuntary servitude for your offspring and their offspring. Just bend over and let them have their way with you, raping you of all human dignity and individuality.
By the way, there is constitutionally no such thing as a frivolous lawsuit or official immunity. These are falsehoods made up by bar attorneys to protect themselves and officials, treasonous practices that are another effect of Admiralty/maritime law. Either you were damaged or you weren't - but it isn't up to some black-robed, holier-than-thou judge ordering a hearing in his military court to decide without due process. It is up to a jury of your peers AFTER they receive all the facts, including the power of jury nullification.
No one can remove your right to sue - check the Constitution. Heck, check the definition of person and your state's Constitution, since both affirm the right to sue, and convey it even to artificial "persons". If you believe you have been damaged, it is your right to have your case heard and decided upon by your peers.
But, then, if the people of this nation do not destroy all Admiralty/maritime/statutory jurisdictional courts and re-establish Natural Law and the common law courts of the Constitution, then there isn't much hope of human rights enduring, not without a long extremely bloody battle against the evil forces consuming all that is decent and good about the human race.
Regardless, though, any man or woman can currently initiate actions against officials using the Universal Commercial Code. Use their laws against them. And you may lose all. But, without risk, nothing is gained.
However, there are a couple of sources of gain. One is that the official(s) know that you know of their corruption. This will leak out. Also, there is gain if each case causes just a few more people to understand the purpose of government and the rights of man. Besides, letting things continue as they are and you will lose your property anyway - and possibly your life when total absolute control is established by the removal of arms from American Citizens.
GET MAD!
Think, for Pete's sake. You won't let me or a neighbor tell you what to do so why do you let elected officials - many of which have no more qualification for running for office other than the money to do so - tell you what to do? That isn't their job or within their authority given them. Their job and authority is to administer the government and to regulate artificial entities the government creates. They have NO authority over you, your private life, or your private property. Get that - let me yell it out - THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER YOU.
Not loud enough? How about - - - THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER YOU!!! YOU - EACH AND EVERY BLESSED ONE OF YOU - ARE SOVEREIGN TO GOVERNMENT!!! YOU ARE THE MASTER - IT IS YOUR SERVANT!!!
Educators
Is the above so hard to understand? Well, it might be because our people have been brainwashed by experts controlling government schools and other professional disinformationists. This doesn't necessarily refer to the teachers since most of them are just as brainwashed and ignorant as 90 percent of the people.
Those teachers who begin to understand leave the system or get fired. The crime against society in the case of the writer being fired as a teacher (not offered a contract, anyway) was most serious. He pushed for students at least knowing how to read when they graduated high school. Darn, but the administration of the school and the Missouri State Teachers Association didn't seem to like that at all since (it seemed) public knowledge of the lack of reading ability of graduating people might reflect on their abilities as educators.
Anyway, forget the rhetoric educators and legislators spout about "more effectively teaching the children" and that schools need more money to be effective. They teach the children all right but not the tools to understand government, to think for one's self, and the absolute power of the people in a republic form of government. So, the problem isn't money - it is what is being taught.
Teachers, if you teach the children the truth, then the above doesn't apply to you. But, if you teach them the stuff in government approved textbooks full of government disinformation and/or you do NOT fight tooth and nail to correct situations - such as 50 percent of graduating seniors not being able to read - and do not teach young people to have independent thoughts - even if those thoughts disagree with your own - then it does apply.
"For the children"
Speaking of children, what government initiated "for the children" program can you name that hasn't worked to destroy the family unit, human independence, and freedom of thought? Come on - surely there must be one.
Well, of course, there isn't one. So, here is something you can do if you want to help the children. Get a group of people who understand liberty and unalienable rights - along with the purpose of government - together with your local teachers and administration (just more government bureaucrats). Force them to answer questions concerning the founding of this nation and the goals public education should have say at - hmm, how about a Board of Education meeting. Do not allow run around answers the way interviewers on TV do with politicians and their spokespeople.
Find out for a fact how utterly ignorant these people are of our founding, the Christian basis of our founding, the importance of the Declaration of Independence, and the fact that the Constitution does not give rights but secures God-given rights by limiting government to protecting the people and their natural rights.
Then, force the firing of all who do not know the correct answers and replace them with people who do know. After all, one can't teach what one doesn't know. The local board of education has the power to fire anytime and the people have power over them. Even tenure can be gotten around. The dissemination of false information is a crime against the people.
Remember that. FALSE INFORMATION SPREAD BY ELECTED/APPOINTED OFFICIALS IS A CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE and is especially true since most of it results in unlawful and illegal taxation. It is fraud and may entail other defined crimes officials can commit that natural people cannot.
Take your school back
Darn it - and a whole bunch of other stronger expletives - but it is the lives of your children and the country known as America that are at stake. Schools are supposed to be a tool of the people meant only to spout and teach the truth, not to spread government fabricated myths meant to establish brainwashed non-thinking human livestock. This country is not meant to be a society of slaves and those who "own" them.
Take the school of your town back - you own it; the government doesn't. If the administration of the school doesn't like it - or the local law enforcers don't like it - then hog-tie the entire bunch and try them en masse for treason, obstruction of justice, and all other crimes you can come up with. Once convicted - the absolute certain decision in a common law Article III court since few parents like their child damaged by others - either hang them for treason or put them to work for the balance of their lives as slaves to the town. At the very least, fire them and make their lives so miserable they leave town.
I would wager that there are people right there in your community that can teach the necessary tools for being an American Citizen better than those now filling the teacher's roster. They are the people who should be with your children exciting them to learn, including what America is supposed to be. This country and the world needs youth of all races, religions, creeds, and so on who have the ability and knowledge to further mankind on his road to self-actualization and world peace, and not to remain ignorant and bowing to the tyrannies and deceits of present governments.
The problem here is that - well, I don't know how else to put it - just how many people in your community know the importance of the Declaration of Independence, the foundations for Natural Law, the Constitution (including amendments), the actual real power of the people over the governments they create, and that man-made statutes and ordinances do not apply to American Citizens. Then, of those, how many have the guts to stand up to tyranny and out-of-control law enforcers? And, finally, how many of those are willing to take the time to confront the "educators"?
Intentional and unintentional disinformation
Another very simple but valuable tool against tyranny is to shut off the boob tube and quit buying newspapers and magazines that are filled with fabrications by the government propaganda experts. Examples are Bush presented as a "compassionate conservative" or that those in government just care about "protecting and serving" the people. What a load of extremely putrid rotting manure these and thousands of other lies are.
Government that is controlled by foreign organizations does what it does in order to enslave the people not only of this country, but all countries. It does not care about your parent's children, your children, or your children's children. Those who fill government offices are not Christians (except in their imaginations or drunken/drugged stupors) or members of any group that sincerely believes in the natural rights of people. They do not have any respect for you and yours with their actions daily proving this as fact. Why the devil do so many ignore what these traitors are doing?
There are literally millions of people paying taxes who know that any form of direct tax is illegal and unlawful when placed on the property of American Citizens that are not in any way, shape, or form under regulation by the government. And some of these who continue paying are tax "gurus". What stops them from refusing to pay or confronting officials? Could it be FEAR?
If it is, get some guts. Tell the IRS to kiss off and stay in its jurisdiction. Tell your boss that he will stop withholding (look up 26 CFR 31.3402(p)-1) your earnings and giving it to the foreign bank, the Federal Reserve. After all, withholding is voluntary for both you and your boss. It cannot be required. The W-4 is merely a request form to participate in the Ponzi scheme known as Social Security, and is actually a Subtitle C form, not a federal income tax form (Subtitle A). And "federal" means just that - a tax on income under federal jurisdiction. And that does not include the states.
If you can't do the above because of fear - and that is exactly what you will feel in your gut as midnight, April 15th approaches or as you approach your boss - how the hell do you expect that you will NOT turn in your firearms when foreigners trained by the US Government, the US Military, and paramilitary cops come to your home to confiscate your arms and taking anything else they have an inkling for, or doing anything they want to you and your family, including separating your family and hauling any dissenters off to US Government concentration camps?
And, then there are the millions who cannot learn anything unless someone tells them.
You see, they can't read. But, what they are told is seldom the truth but is instead disinformation, misinformation, and blatant lies or hearsay by their buddies, family, and associates. And, there are millions of these well-meaning - but ignorant - people who are spreading disinformation unintentionally because of ignorance.
They are easy to recognize. These people act as if they are experts, for example, in tax but fail to know the simplicity of it all. Nothing the US Government does legislatively should affect American Citizens, meaning the natural born people of natural born people in a state of the union. The authority to legislate by the US Government extends only to specified areas under federal control. THIS JURISDICTION AND AUTHORITY DOES NOT EXTEND TO THE MANY STATES even in times of actual bona fide war (declared by Congress). Adding to this is that case law (opinions of courts) since 1938 used by courts to convict people is always repugnant to the Constitution and the natural rights of man.
Furthermore, state governments and political subdivisions haven't any jurisdiction over you and your rights. So, scratch their administrative regulations when applied unconstitutionally to the sovereign. Misinformation and disinformation about the real jurisdiction of officials have caused people to believe that some elected guy from down the street has the power of God over us. To that, I say bull - and so should all Americans.
Political correctness and religion
Millions do NOT know we are a Christian nation and that the founders founded it based on Christian principles even though some were not Christians. However, even those forefathers who were not devout Christians recognized the natural rights of Man. Therefore, regardless of religious affiliation or no affiliation, religions beliefs and expressions of it are rights and not to be interfered with, not by legislators, atheists, or any other persons, natural or artificial.
And, I dare say no atheist is damaged because a town is decorated with Christian symbols during Christmas. Or because someone uses the word "God". Or the Supreme Being. All that is just political correctness crap and is started by some idiot - or group of idiots - trying to make a name for himself, the group, or by those who want to keep the people divided.
This is my declaration. I will decorate or not decorate as I please and if any object and force themselves on my property - law enforcers or not - then I will defend my home and my rights with every weapon I have available. Their invasion will be considered an act of war against me and my country.
Make a stand
Speaking of defending homes and rights, make your own stand and quit asking "what can I do" or "have you been successful" or copping out by saying some damn worthless excuse such as "I'll wait and see what happens with you" or "we need to focus on just this".
I have had all these multiple times and others, such as "it won't work - you're wasting your time" - "watch your back" - "we don't have any choice". Sometimes one might think that if people spent as much time thinking of reasons TO act as they do to NOT act, real progress against tyranny might be the result. Anyway, all these lame-duck excuses are just cop-outs covering up fear to take action or - heaven forbid - to actually stop obeying laws that do not apply to them.
Learn the definitions applying to statutes in your state. Municipalities are just an extension of the state so it is imperative that one knows how to read laws if he/she wants to understand the extent of the horrendous frauds that have been and are being committed against the sovereign - the American Citizen.
Anyway, here's the deal - DO SOMETHING. Nothing is ever accomplished until one begins to do something. People fail to understand that each failure leads eventually to success. If what is tried doesn't work, then revise the plan and do something else but always learn from the failures you experience and the failures/successes of others. Most important, though, never stop trying and once one has entered the field of battle, never leave it until the issue resolved to your satisfaction.
Just look at what that woman did with MADD. She ended up creating billions of dollars of annual revenue for state governments and insurance companies even though 99.9999 percent or so of people driving home from a bar or a party never harm another soul. But, if stopped in an illegal stop by law enforcers, these people innocent of any crime (without a victim and intent to damage, a sovereign cannot commit a "crime") are seriously damaged by the enforcement of ridiculous and unconstitutional anti-drinking laws.
Use the energy of disgust - or dislike - for a good purpose rather than wasting it venting frustrations by merely griping. In fact, never vent by griping - experience the energy that builds up inside you. Let it build until you are essentially forced to take action against officials infringing upon your rights.
That's my tool for spending the time and effort in researching, analyzing, assimilating and accommodating information, writing articles, and then trying to force local officials to obey the law of the land even though many friends and family have told me it won't do any good. How the heck can one know it won't work if one doesn't try? And - possibly most important - how could one live with himself if he knows and doesn't try?
Conclusion
The one guarantee we all have is that if local officials are attacked enough times by enough people, the fear the people feel will be transferred to the officials and, once started, it will spread like a wildfire. And I don't give a damn whether it is a mayor, city council member, cop, judge, or any other agent of the government - concerned people carrying out actions against them repeatedly will instill fear of future actions being taken against them - that is, if they still have their jobs after the people invoke justice. When the fear permeates their very being - just as fear of government now does you - it will be just as effective as fear created by the government has been in controlling the people.
Also, if local officials (city, county) have the devil scared out of them, the fear will begin permeating upwards and outwards, the same as heat at the bottom of a heating pan of water begins permeating throughout the water. So, let's put on the heat at the bottom and then watch as the domino effect takes place. The strength of the people will grow as fear will diminishes in the people. Also, strength will increase in the people as fear increases in officials.
Begin creating fear in them by getting together with friends and sending affidavits of truth to local officials informing them of their obligations to the people and the principles this nation was founded on and that you all are natural human beings under Natural Law and are bound by the statutes/ordinances made by them that violate your rights. Inform the sheriff likewise and that you will defend you home and the American people against the tyrannies engulfing us.
The writer initiated actions against local officials a few months ago and is preparing the proper paperwork to begin confronting state and federal officials who are supposed to be representing him and defending his unalienable rights. Since they are going along with every unconstitutional edict by the Bush bunch of marauders against freedom, they are violating their Oaths of Office along with the probability of Title 18 criminal violations. Thus, the writer hasn't any choice but to do what he can to help stop this flow of tyranny.
Many people- especially politicians and their spokespeople - have said that the fraudulent "official immunity" and "frivolous lawsuit" laws are needed so that officials wouldn't be afraid to do their jobs. What a crock that is since "their job" is to never make or allow any law contrary to our unalienable rights. How can charging them with crimes or suing them for various violations of the Constitution and state statutes cause them to fear "doing their jobs"? Think about it.
One of our founders said something along the lines that a government who fears the people will NEVER develop tyranny but the government that knows the people fear it will ALWAYS develop into a totalitarian state.
And, the proof of this, Ladies and Gentleman, is right outside your door.
Rather frustrating as a fact is that this writer knows it is up to the people to correct the wrongs. Elected officials aren't going to because they are the ones who perpetuate the destruction of human rights.
It is sad and extremely disheartening to think that the people may be found wanting when push comes to shove (where we are right now). This will leave the hundreds of people who are trying to educate the rest of our people kind of hanging out there on a limb over an abyss. It makes them very easy targets for the bloodthirsty tyrants intent on removing the sovereignty of the United States of America - meaning the union of the states. America does not include the US GOVERNMENT, a corporation foreign to the union of states housed only in the District of Columbia.
As long as people continue believing the traitors to human rights now filling all levels of government, in short time the world as we know it will be destroyed with no remnants of human rights remaining.
But it won't be by the terrorists the Bush administration says is responsible. It will be by the bogus wars against drugs, crime, and terrorism created and perpetuated by the US Government, along with the thousands of statutes/ordinances that remove rights. These actions by the US Government and aided by state/local governments assure the process of destroying our freedom is healthy and being carried out.
Our days as free autonomous human beings are numbered, People, unless the majority come to realize the most serious threat to freedom comes from those given the responsibility to uphold our Constitution and to provide the defense for our shores, our rights as natural creations, and little else.
And so I mourn the loss of all that America once stood for - land of the free and home of the brave.
