Some say the Constitution is outdated. We ask what part that may be? Is it the part protecting our right of free speech, of religion, the press? Or is it the 4th Amendment that allows us to be secure in our homes? Perhaps it may be the part providing the right to trial by jury? It would certainly have to be the 2nd Amendment, allowing the People the right to bear arms as a last defense against tyranny in government.

Do Federal Agents Have Arresting Power Without The County Sheriff?

It is only through the county sheriff that an outside agency is permitted to exercise its authority.. The sheriff is the only “chief executive” in his county who has arresting power. Properly executed, the sheriff’s authority can have an immediate effect in bringing federal agencies and public officials to obey the law. The sheriff presents the greatest challenge to the misuse of authority by a central government. However, we have already seen how the use of federal funding obligates county governments to federal mandates. Those mandates are used to justify federal intrusion into the lives of county residents. It is apparent that the trend for the last several years has been in the direction of removing power from the hands of the People at the State and local level and concentrating more and more power over people into the hands of unelected bureaucrats at the federal level.
International bodies are also vehicles being used to erode “People Power” at the local level and circumvent the Constitution. Currently we are seeing federal agencies surrender unconstitutionally-usurped state powers to international bodies such as the United Nations and theWorld Trade Organization.
We the People who elected these officials must demand accountability from them and confront them as to where their loyalties lie. “We” elected them to work for “Us,” and protect “Us” when federal agencies exceed their delegated authority. We did not elect them to conform to the edicts of federal or international bodies. We must exercise “people power” to support and compel them to do their jobs.
Our only recourse to stop the destruction of our constitutional republic is through local government.

The Power and Purpose
of Our Jury System

 Jury nullification of law was built into our form of government to make sure that laws must pass the test of popular authority before being enforced. The Constitution provides five separate tribunals with veto power—the House of Representatives, the Senate, the executive agencies, the judiciary and the jury. Each enactment of law must pass muster in all five bodies before it gains the authority to punish those who choose to violate it. Thomas Jefferson said, “I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.”
Before our jury system devolved to what we have today, juries had the right to judge both “the law itself” as well as the facts. Our country’s first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John Jay, is quoted saying exactly that in 1789. Also, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase, 1796, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, 1902, are quoted saying the same words. The Jury has the power to judge both the law and the facts. Harlan F. Stone, 12th U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1941, said, “The law itself is on trial quite as much as the cause which is to be decided.” In State of Georgia v Brailsford, et al, the finding was, “You have a right to take upon yourselves to judge of both, and to determine the law as well as the fact in controversy.”
Almost every jury in the country today is falsely instructed by judges when they are told they must accept as the law that which is given to them by the court and that the jury can decide only the facts of the case. If people acting in the name of government are permitted by juries to dictate any law whatever and to dictate what evidence is admissible or inadmissible (which is generally conviction-oriented evidence) then the whole truth is prevented from being considered and the issue of fact becomes virtually irrelevant.
Part of the problem lies with the general misconception that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for a law which violates the Constitution to be valid. Congress can legislate (make law), the president or some other bureaucrat can make an order or issue regulations, and judges may instruct or make a decision, but no juror can ever be punished for voting “Not Guilty.” Any juror can choose to disregard the instructions of any judge or attorney in rendering their vote. Thus, those acting in the name of government must come before the common man to get permission to enforce a law.
Common sense should tell us that without the power to decide what facts, law and evidence are applicable, juries cannot be a protection to the accused and true justice is denied, leaving us with trial by government and not trial by jury.

Paraphrasing George Washington:

Government is like fire. We bring it into our homes to keep us warm, but we build a chimney to keep the fire from consuming us. The Constitution is the chimney that keeps government from consuming us. Has the chimney collapsed, and is our constitutional house on fire?

Chapter II

The Destruction of Our
Constitutional Republic

In Chapter I the proper structure of constitutional government was explained with the county being identified as the building block of our Constitutional Republic. Within that context it was illustrated how outside influences have crept in to crumble the building blocks of our government of, by and for the people. In this chapter we will take a look at the philosophies of conquest and the methods being used to destroy our Constitutional Republic.

Machiavellian Politics

Over 400 years ago, the Florentine statesman Niccolo Machiavelli engaged in a profound study of methods used by various rulers to attain power. He lived in an age when nations were small, in some cases only walled cities, when events were moving fast and when many men were struggling for power. Due to his own confidential government position, he was able to evaluate the methods of those who succeeded and to observe the mistakes of those who failed. In “The Prince” he reduces his conclusions to definite rules or doctrines. His conclusions, in general, appear to find support in the Dante’s DeMonarchia—written two hundred years before “The Prince.”
The findings of Machiavelli and other students of power decree that to obtain power it is essential to ignore the moral laws of man and of God; that promises must be made only with the intention to deceive and to mislead others to sacrifice their own interests; that the most brutal atrocity must be committed as a matter of mere convenience; that friends or allies must be betrayed as matter of course as soon as they have served their purpose. But, it is also decreed that these atrocities must be kept hidden from the common people except only where they are of use to strike terror into the hearts of opponents; that there must be kept up a spurious aspect of benevolence and benefit for the greater number of the people, and even an aspect of humility to gain as much help as possible.
It is held that the vast mass of the people are oblivious and gullible, and therefore will believe a lie which is repeated again and again, regardless of how obvious may be the fundamental facts to the contrary. But, in Chapter VI of “The Prince” is decreed also: “. . . matters should be so ordered that when men no longer believe of their own accord, they may be compelled to believe by force.”
It is obvious that in the early stages of the usurpation of power in any land of even partial democracy, opposition is certain to arise, and that an attempt to suppress this antagonism by arbitrary means would quickly inflame and solidify the opponents into an overwhelming attack. Machiavelli considered this aspect and indicated the correct method to neutralize this danger in stating: “Many consider, that a wise prince, when he has the opportunity, ought with craft to foster some animosity against himself, so that, having crushed it, his renown may rise higher.”
This indicates the technique of modern Machiavellians in having their own stalking horses grasp the leadership of their opponents, and then as their own veiled and hidden action is gradually unfolded, have their Pied Pipers oppose them on spurious and superficial reasons in such a way as to obscure and conceal as far as possible the real reasons and objectives; thereby confusing and confounding the real opponents and leading them into a swamp of futility. War, according to Machiavelli, must be applied at almost regular intervals to maintain power. It is held that it is not a passing madness, but that it is a normal and indispensable tool of power. It must be applied promptly and ruthlessly to be effective in its function of maintaining and extending power. Machiavelli very urgently warned against any alliance with a more powerful friend, and counseled that in cases where this was unavoidable, the stronger friend must be regarded as a certain potential enemy who must be undermined and destroyed as soon as circumstances permit with the aid of the common enemy and of weaker friends.
~E.C. Knuth
“The Empire of “The City”

Note: These philosophies and tactics are historically well known among the ruling class. Events unfolding before us today begin to make sense when these methods are considered.

Three Types Of Conquest

History reveals nations can be conquered by the use of one or more of three methods.
The most common is conquest by war. In time, though, this method usually fails, because the captives hate the captors and rise-up and drive them out if they can. Much force is needed to maintain control, making it expensive for the conquering nation.
A second method is by religion, where men are convinced they must give their captors part of their earnings as “obedience to God.” Such a captivity is vulnerable to philosophical exposure or by overthrow by armed force since religion, by its nature, lacks military force to regain control once its captives become disillusioned.
The third method can be called economic conquest. It takes place when nations are placed under “tribute” without the use of visible force or coercion, so that the victims do not realize they have been conquered. “Tribute” is collected from them in the form of “legal” debts and taxes, and they believe they are paying it for their own good, for the good of others, or to protect all from some enemy. Their captors become their “benefactors” and “protectors.”
Although this is the slowest to impose, it is often quite long-lasting, as the captives do not see any military force arrayed against them, their religion is left more or less intact, they have freedom to speak and to travel, and they participate in “elections” for their rulers. Without realizing it, they are conquered, and the instruments of their own society are used to transfer its wealth to the captors and make the conquest complete.

Billions for the Bankers
and Debts for the People
What is accomplished in open warfare, destroying a nation’s infrastructure, has been accomplished today in America, without firing a shot.

Walls In Our Minds

Mankind was created with a capacity to learn, think, reason and create. We are born with a brain which begins to accumulate information within a few weeks after birth. From age five, most children are exposed to a politician-controlled government school system that continues for 13 years. The child’s brain is a captive of mankind’s worst enemy on planet earth. Governments have destroyed more property, confiscated more wealth and ordered the murder of more men, woman and children than any other enemy. Government cannot be trusted with the minds of our children.
When we consider how the mind of a five year-old is so vulnerable to manipulation, it should cause parents and grandparents great concern. Some third world countries still hear the chant of the witch doctor as he manipulates the minds of his fellow tribesmen. We think we are too intelligent to be manipulated. Mind manipulation is alive and well in educated America. At no time in our government schools or government churches do we find lessons being taught on the difference between knowing and believing. Our teachers teach what they believed when they went to school.
We have thousands of religious creeds, cults and denominations, all competing for believers. Preachers have become salesmen of religion. The quality of the product is not as important as the dollars collected and the number of followers. Our churches should recognize the danger of being manipulated by believing false information. When government began its takeover of the education system, the church should have opposed the idea. The church has not been a separate power acting as a check against evil government.
If someone complains about how our government is conducting its business, most Americans will agree that something must be done. However, if you refuse to pay federal income tax, you will be accused of being unpatriotic. People will complain about government, but they don’t want anyone to cut off government’s income. The basic reason for this is mind control. Walls have been built in the minds of the American people that limits the ability to think and reason. The government school did not teach that government is mans worst enemy. That is a fact that any free mind can comprehend.
During World War II, we were taught how our government was better than the German or Japanese governments. After the war, we were taught how our government was better than what the Russians had. The Russian government controls the schools in Russia. The teachers in Russian schools are teaching children that the Russian government is better than the United States government. It would appear that teachers in the USSR and teachers in the USA have a real problem. Somebody is teaching false information and that somebody is teachers on both sides. Government schools in the USSR and in the USA are both in error. An argument as to which government is the best is like comparing AIDS and cancer. You might prefer cancer over AIDS, but you really don’t want either one. If you have two rotten oranges, you will throw both of them into the garbage. Logic tells us not to trust government with the education of our children.
We have been going to the polls on election day as good little brainwashed Americans and usually voted against someone, rather than for someone. You tried to decide which one was AIDS and which one was cancer. You tried to determine which orange was more rotten than the other. You went away from the polls frustrated. The lesser of two evils may be elected, but the changes you would like to see are not going to happen. Every law that is created will be designed to give politicians and government more of your money, power, liberty and freedom.
~M.J. ‘Red’ Beckman
Walls In Our Minds

A lie and the liar are not
dangerous until the lie is believed.

The walls in our minds and a nation of government regulators “just doing their job,” are powerful forces that have allowed tyrants to conquer this great nation.

Newspaper Control
In America

One of the more widely recognized virtues of the American way of life has been its “official” national philosophy, as set forth in the First Amendment of the Constitution, that “Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...” Throughout America’s history an independent and competitive press has been regarded as essential to the effective maintenance of her republican form of government. It was the press’ responsibility to provide factually the news and information necessary for the maintenance of a conscious and alert citizenry.
The American press of today is a far cry from that which existed in the days of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine. The technological advances which the newspaper industry has undergone in the last century have been profound. Today the size, material quality, and format of newspapers, as well as the ability to provide a metropolitan area containing hundreds of thousands of readers with several editions a day, would certainly amaze the Founding Fathers. Yet, despite this advance in newspaper technology, they would probably be shocked by the growing monopolistic centralization of American newspapers and disgusted by the kind of managed news which is being presented to the American people.
In the 1790 until 1798 Benjamin Franklin Bache was the editor of The Philadelphia Aurora—an opposition newspaper that published weekly counterpoints to the pro-government-no-matter-what Porcupine’s Gazette. By the Civil War, big newspapers such as the New York Times were fully cooperative with the interests of government through their editorial policies. The prevalence of pro-government newspaper publishing by the 1880s was memorialized one night when preeminent New York journalist John Swinton was the guest of honor at a banquet given him by his peers. Swinton was managing editor of the New York Times during the Civil War, later becoming a crusading journalist in the movement for social and labor reform.
A toast was offered to the independent press and Swinton later outraged his colleagues when he said the following:.
“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.
“There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
“The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
“We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”
Today, influential minorities which constitute two percent or less of the total U.S. population have effectively achieved dominion over America’s newspaper industry. The intense consolidation of newspapers into monopolies has resulted in the American public being offered only biased and censored news. We have an entry from Congressional Record that pinpoints the day controlled media and big government were engaged to be formally wed.
On February 9, 1917 the following statement was entered into the Congressional Record of the Sixty-Fourth Congress by a member of the [defense appropriations] committee:
Mr. Callaway: Mr. Chairman, under unanimous consent, I insert into the Record at this point a statement showing the newspaper combination, which explains their activity in the war matter, just discussed by the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Moore]:
In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, ship building and powder interests and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press in the United States.
“These 12 men worked the problems out by selecting 179 newspapers, and then began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the purpose of controlling the general policy of the daily press throughout the country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. The 25 papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy, national and international, of these papers; an agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers.
“This contract is in existence at the present time, and it accounts for the news columns of the daily press of the country being filled with all sorts of preparedness arguments and misrepresentations as to the present condition of the United States Army and Navy, and the possibility of the United States being attacked by foreign foes.
“This policy also included the suppression of everything in opposition to the wishes of the interests served. The effectiveness of this scheme has been conclusively demonstrated by the character of the stuff carried in the daily press throughout the country since March, 1915. They have resorted to anything necessary to commercialize public sentiment and sandbag the National Congress into making extravagant and wasteful appropriations for the Army and Navy under false pretense that it was necessary. Their stock argument is that it is ‘patriotism.’ They are playing on every prejudice and passion of the American people.” [end quote]
The disproportionately powerful political and economic control of the news media has allowed them to choose presidential candidates, swing elections, control foreign and domestic policy, and determine generally what is to be acceptable in every aspect of American culture. They do this by screening and selecting the items to be presented, by the way these items are presented, the emphasis and treatment accorded them, the headlines and pictures used, the typography and format employed in the writing and pictorial representations. News is played up and played down, dramatized, repeated, juxtaposed, spelled out, underscored, even falsehoods, to enhance its influence in the desired directions.
A nation is only as strong as its institutions, and, as an institution, journalism in America has ceased to serve the vital interests of the American People.

The media and the government like to put labels on people who talk about, or refer to, the Constitution as conspiracy nuts; anti-government, skin headed white supremacists. This shows a clear example of brainwashing to make people think black is white and up is down. They call some of us constitutionalists or patriots as if they were bad things, but . . . isn’t that what we “all” should be?

Money and Gold

The Bible teaches that the love of money is the root of all evil. Money by itself is not the root. It is the love of money, defined as greed, that motivates certain members of society to acquire money.
It becomes important, then, for the members of the middle class to understand what money is and how it works. Money is defined as: “anything that people will accept in exchange for goods or services in a belief that they may in turn exchange it for other goods and services.”
Money becomes a Capital Good. It is used to acquire Consumption Goods (and other Capital Goods as well.) Money also becomes a method of work avoidance. Money can work for its possessor: “When money is put to work, it works twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year, and stops for no holidays.”
So the desire to acquire money to reduce a need to work becomes the motive of many individuals in the society.
The first man was self-sufficient. He produced what he wanted and stored what he needed for those times when he was unable to produce. He had no need for money until other humans appeared and joined him in the acquisition of Consumption Goods. As populations grew, specialization grew, and certain individuals produced Capital Goods instead of Consumption Goods. Man soon discovered that he needed something as a store of value to enable him to purchase Capital Goods when he was not producing Consumption Goods.
Durable commodities, those that didn’t spoil with the passage of time, slowly became that store of value, and in time the most durable, a metal, became the money of society. The ultimate metal, gold, became the final store of value for a variety of reasons.
But as the producer of gold saw the need to set this money aside for future use, problems arose as to how and where it should be stored. Since gold had a high value in what it could purchase in both Capital Goods and Consumption Goods, it became a temptation to those who were willing to take it from the owner by force. This led the owner of gold to take means to safeguard his holdings. Certain individuals, already experienced in the storage of non-durable goods, wheat for instance, soon became the storage facility for gold as well.
These warehouses would take the gold and issue the gold owner a warehouse receipt, certifying that the owner had a given quantity of gold in storage at the warehouse. These gold receipts could be transferred from one person to another, usually by writing on the back of the receipt that the owner was transferring his claim on the gold in the warehouse to another person. These receipts soon became money themselves as men accepted the receipts rather than the gold they represented.
Since gold is scarce and the quantity is limited, it was impossible to make counterfeit money. It was only when the warehouseman realized that he could issue more gold receipts than there was gold in the warehouse that he could become a counterfeiter. He had the ability to inflate the money supply, and the warehouseman frequently did this. But this activity only acted temporarily because as the quantity of gold receipts in circulation increased, because of the economic law known as inflation, the prices would rise. The receipt holders would start to lose confidence in their receipts and return to the warehouseman to claim their gold. When more receipt holders showed up than there is gold in the warehouse, it is called a “run,” and is caused because the people have lost faith in their paper money and have demanded that the society return to the gold standard where gold becomes the money supply.
The people’s check on the warehouseman, i.e. their ability to keep the warehouseman honest by constantly being able to redeem their gold receipts, acted as a restraint to the inflation of the gold supply. This limited the greed of the counterfeiters and forced them into looking for alternative methods of increasing their wealth. The next step was for the counterfeiter to ask the government to make the gold receipts “Legal Tender” and also prohibit the receipt holder from redeeming the receipt into gold. This made the paper receipt the only money able to be circulated. Gold could no longer be used as money.
But this posed an additional problem for the counterfeiter. He now had to include the government in his scheme to increase his personal wealth. The greedy leader of the government, when approached by the counterfeiter with this scheme, often decided to eliminate the warehouseman altogether and operate the scheme himself. This was the final problem for the counterfeiter. He had to replace the leader with someone he felt he could trust and who would not use government to remove the counterfeiter from the plot. This process was costly and extremely risky, but the enormity of the long-term wealth that could be accumulated by this method was worth all the hazards.
In time, the counterfeiters, who became the international bankers of today, developed a strategy by which they could make certain that the government they loaned money to did not repudiate the loans through a plan called “Balance of Power Politics.” This meant that the bankers loaned to two governments at the same time, affording them the opportunity to play one against the other as a means of forcing one to pay his debts to the banker. The most successful tool of insuring compliance with terms of payment was the threat of war: the banker could always threaten the defaulting government with a war as a means of forcing it to make their payments. This act of repossessing the nation would almost always work as the head of government, anxious to keep his seat of power, would agree to the terms of the original loan, and continue his payments.
The key to using this tool, however, was making certain that both kingdoms were nearly the same size, so that one nation would not become so powerful that the threat of a war with a weaker neighboring nation would not be sufficient to force it into making its payments.
Coin clipping is another method for increasing the wealth, and control of money by the bankers, in cahoots with government. This is done by calling in all the gold or silver coins and replacing them with coins made of a more plentiful metal, such as copper or aluminum. The most recent example of this activity, called “coin substitution,” occurred during the Johnson administration when the government replaced silver coins with coins of various metals.
~A. Ralph Epperson
The Unseen Hand

With a basic understanding of how international bankers operate, it is possible to understand the nature of our recent past and the power the international bankers gained once they secured control of the money.
Today this has become a very refined art with the warehouseman, the “bankers,” in cahoots with government. The privately owned Federal Reserve System is the warehouse for America, operating on an entirely counterfeit system which is supported only by our blind faith in their “fiat money.” (Paper money of government issue which is legal tender by fiat or law and does not represent, nor is it based upon, gold and contains no promise of redemption.) History has shown that whenever there has been fiat money, tyranny has always followed.
On a global scale, the international bankers (warehouseman), are loaning their fiat money (computer entries) to countries such as Brazil and Argentina in exchange for their natural resources as collateral, then manipulating entire world markets through inflation or deflation, allowing them to loot the resources of these countries as the loans come into default—all for nothing more than computer entries. The same game has “already” been played on the American People, the farmers in particular, i.e. the depression, bankruptcy in 1933 and the Social Security Act in 1935, putting the American People and their property up as collateral to the IMF and World Bank.

“All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise not from defects in our constitution, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.”
~John Adams

“Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.”
~James Garfield

“History records that the money-changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling the money and its issuance.”
~James Madison

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies and that the issuing power of money should be taken from the banks and restored to governments to whom it properly belongs.”
~Thomas Jefferson

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countryman.”
~Samuel Adams

“Man can live and satisfy his wants only by ceaseless labor; by the ceaseless application of his faculties to natural resources. This process is the origin of property.
But it is also true that a man may live and satisfy his wants by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others. This process is the origin of plunder.
Since man is naturally inclined to avoid pain...and since labor is pain in itself...it follows that men will resort to plunder whenever plunder is easier than work. History shows this quite clearly. And under these conditions, neither religion nor morality can stop it.”
~Frederick Bastiat
The Law, 1848

CHAPTER III

THE FEDERAL RESERVE
SYSTEM AND
THE INTERNAL REVENUE
SERVICE
On February 25, 1913, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was signed into law, which states that Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on income. However, there is irrefutable evidence that the amendment was not properly ratified. Thirty-six states must support an amendment before it can be signed into law and in 1913, only the “appearance” was given to Congress that this had occurred. In reality no more than four states properly ratified the amendment and the remainder of the states presented fraudulent documents. Fraud is defined as being a deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain. These documents have all been traced and proven to be fraudulent.
On December 23, 1913, Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act which illegally transferred Congress’ power to coin money and regulate the value thereof, to a consortium of private bankers. This was an unconstitutional act in violation of Article I, Section 8, paragraph 5, Constitution for the United States. Nowhere does the Constitution authorize Congress to delegate such power.
There is nothing federal about the Federal Reserve System and there is irrefutable evidence that it is a privately owned corporation whose class A Stockholders are various international bankers of which, less than half are citizens of the United States. In place of real, lawful money (gold and silver coin) as legal tender, the Federal Reserve issues private commercial paper for only the cost of the paper and ink, then exchanges it for interest bearing United States Bonds to be repaid in the labor and substance of the American People.
The absolute reason why Congress must control the issuance of our currency is because congress “cannot” charge interest for the use of what should be our money. The bankers, however, “can” charge interest for the use of their unconstitutional paper (fiat) money. Americans should not pay for the use of “their” money. If the Federal Reserve System were abolished, their collection agency, the Internal Revenue Service, could likewise be abolished. The Constitution allows the operation of government to be financed from duties, imposts and excises, which amounted to approximately $500 billion before NAFTA was passed. That amount would sufficiently support the functioning of the United States Government if it were not burdened with an ever increasing bureaucracy.
This act surrendered a power so great that the owners of the Federal Reserve were capable of creating the depression of the 1930s by withdrawing $80 billion from circulation of the economy, bankrupting the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on June 5, 1933, effectively placing the international bankers in the position of trustee/creditor of our national assets.
William Jennings Bryan, democratic presidential candidate, 1896, 1900, and 1908, is quoted saying, “The Federal Reserve Bank, which should have been the farmers greatest protection, has become his greatest foe. The deflation of the farmer was a crime deliberately committed.” Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. said of this, “The Federal Reserve Act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the president signs the bill, the invisible government by the monetary power will be legalized. The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this bill.” Rep. Louis T. McFadden stated, “We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Board has cheated the government of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt.”
Most people believe there is a law that states we must file and pay income tax. This is not true. Neither the IRS nor the Department of Justice have been able to produce a law that compels us to pay the income tax. This is because the law does not exist. Americans need to pay income tax only if they choose to volunteer their payment and the IRS itself states that the tax is voluntary. However, if an IRS form 1040 is signed because we have been intimidated to believe we must do so, then we have signed a contract stating that we volunteer to pay the IRS a said sum, waiving our 5th Amendment right to not testify against ourselves.
The Internal Revenue Service routinely ignores substantive and procedural due process rights secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States. IRS personnel encumber property with mere “Notices of Lien,” which have been fraudulently transferred by the county recorders into the lien indexes of their counties. They then seize everything up to and including wages, bank accounts, automobiles and homes without court orders authorizing encumbrance and seizure.
Politicians and other public officials who live off money confiscated from working people will argue that government cannot survive without the individual income tax.
This nation grew and prospered for over 130 years without an individual income tax. Since the income tax, our government has prospered and our nation and its people have been robbed. This government today is inefficient, wasteful and corrupt—bankrupting who were once the most prosperous people in the world.

NAFTA / GATT

There is nothing free or fair about the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and our national sovereignty is severely effected by these agreements.
The Constitution allows for the operation of government from duties, imposts and excises. NAFTA/GATT shifts income from import duties, which was lost because of these agreements, “away from corporations,” to the backs of the American taxpayers.
NAFTA/GATT encourages American manufacturing to transfer production to foreign countries with cheap labor, lax environmental laws and lax safety regulations.
As a result of NAFTA and GATT America will no longer possess the necessary means to produce food or manufactured goods here at home in time of crisis.

Environmental Laws
That Overregulate
Small Business

Environmental groups have been mapping every corner of rural America for a Wildlands preserve. They are hard at work, well funded and intricately organized in their efforts to turn our rural areas into uninhabited Wildlands preserves. Early Wildlands Project documents call for managing 50%-95% of the U.S. land mass as wilderness.
Environmental groups spend years suing local business and government for nearly everything they do. Small family businesses die. Local governments are financially crippled. Only giant corporations operating locally survive the cost-prohibitive regulatory process. The local economy becomes so depressed that the community cannot defend itself.
Public and private lands are coming under seemingly unrelated federal regulatory schemes that have been developed to enforce environmental laws passed by Congress. Under laws known as the Wetlands Act, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, the federal government has gained control over how public and private property can or cannot be used. By controlling the use of property, the federal government controls its value.
Private property that cannot be used has no value—to either the owner or a prospective buyer. The design against private property rights becomes apparent as, once a property owner is forced to sell at federally-deflated value, the property is purchased by environmental front groups such as the Nature Conservancy. In the case of the Columbia River Gorge in the 1990s, the Nature Conservancy purchased property at bargain basement prices and, within 10 minutes, sold it to the U.S. Forest Service for a 30 percent profit.
When the conservancy group or federal entity owns so much of the former private rural property that the remaining land holders are surrounded, the decimation of the community with pressure tactics including fines, imprisonment and land condemnation will begin. The inexorable death process of a rural community becomes a local horror as the besieged residents watch the urban news media give them either bad press or none at all. Such conditions totally destroyed what is now the ghostown of Bridal Veil, Oregon.
How do they achieve their goal?
The vast network of international to grassroots environmental organizations which coordinate and cooperate to fulfill the Wildlands vision are driven with funding by international charitable foundations such as those founded by the Rockefellers and the Pews. These foundations provide funding for the biased research and legal-technical expertise used to achieve the Wildlands goal.
Wildlands Project International cooperator groups meet with international industry CEOs to plan world resources strategy. Grassroots environmental groups are then fed directives and technical expertise through the Wildlands Project network to designate regions of the U.S. where public access to public lands is controlled or altogether eliminated.
Therefore, the global economic elite, through their charitable foundations, fund the environmental groups to lobby and litigate for regulations only the elite can afford to comply with or circumvent. This destroys the competition—family-owned, small and mid-level businesses. Environmental regulations have become the route taken by the international corporate elite to defeat the antitrust laws enacted to prevent marketplace monopolies.
These global economic superpowers fund and direct the use of certain “scientific” studies that promote their position with regard to environmental policy. For instance, geology and archaeology were largely ignored because their findings did not support approved environmental dogma. Paleoecology and environmental geology were invented to substantiate their environmental policies. Conservation biology is merely a theory cofounded by Dr. Reed Noss and Dr. Michael Soule, partners with Dave Foreman, founder of Earth First! who also conceived the Wildlands Project.
The environmental groups use the courts to force federal management agencies like the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to adopt the economic elite-funded research as “best available science.” Through lawsuits and appeals, federal management agencies are forced to act on issues before their own scientific studies are complete. They are forced to make their decisions with the biased research because the current legal system dubs it “best available science.”
What began as laws to protect species habitat and environmental quality on federal land has, in just a few decades, resulted in the federal purchase, condemnation, or management of the vast majority of both public and private property in rural America.

R M A P

One of the best and most recent examples of government usurpation of private property rights is the Road Maintenance and Abandonment Plan (RMAP) in Washington state. This invasive land use management plan resulted from directives of the Endangered Species Act and are part of the Forests & Fish law passed in 1999. RMAP requires private roads of family forest owners to be brought up to federal standards or the road must be abandoned. The new law pertains to parcels of land 500 acres and larger and is intended to eventually include parcels two acres and larger. The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is responsible for administrating the program.
Essentially private forest owners in Washington State must bring “private” roads (driveways) up to EPA standards, at outrageous costs, or face fines, imprisonment and/or abandonment of the road. This would severely devalue the land if one were forced to sell, since the law requires the seller to inform the buyer of his RMAP obligation..
The mandate was forced on state legislators who were blackmailed into signing the RMAP bill under threats by the Clinton administration that the state would be sued under ESA. There has been much back-peddling by the state recently because of overwhelming opposition from the rural people of Washington state.
If this mandate is stopped completely, the fact of the intentions will remain—the state wants access to private property in an effort to satisfy the property rights-abusive desires of the federal government.
Property ownership, and the right to be secure in that property, is fundamental to freedom.

Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFRs)

Federal law requires that that city, county, state and federal governments must produce an annual accounting document that proves governments within the U.S. keep two sets of books. One set, the “budget,” is commonly available and tracks each government entity’s costs and tax revenue. The second set of books, called the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) contains the full accounting of total government “income.” The budget is the financial record that’s seen by the public and used by politicians to justify new government services and higher taxes; the CAFR is the financial record that is rarely seen by the public and is used by politicians and their accountants track investments and retirement accounts accruing on public money.
Where budgets show that taxes must continue to increase to pay for increases in the cost of government, CAFRs show that governments have millions, even billions of dollars in assets.
How it works is like this: Anything that is a cost or expense for public services (the traditional side of the Annual Service Budget, such as the Department of Transportation, Health and Welfare, etc.) is reported on the budget where public taxes primarily pay 100% of the bill for those services. However, any government agency that is a “profit center” (Port Authority, investment accounts, etc.) that generated no tax revenue, is “restricted by statute” from being reported in, and benefiting the Annual Budget. This is because state legislatures have passed laws to prevent reporting the income from investment or venture profit centers on the budget. Instead, income from these profit centers is disclosed only on the CAFR or other financial reports in the notes of the CAFR.
When breaking down the true revenue income, the most important revelation is that only one-third of the states’ income comes from taxes, fines and fees. Two thirds of state governments’ income is derived from “Other Sources” with no direct tie to the publicly known budget. When looking at the openly disclosed “budget,” which each year continues to grow at a runaway pace, taxation primarily covers the expenses.
This dual system of books is common among the over 54,000 local government corporate entities operating within all 50 states and was created in 1946 through an organization by the name of Government Financial Officers Association (GFOA). GFOA policy dictates the primary local government accounting structure in use today.
Governments use bond surety sscrow accounts to evade the rule that government should not operate at a “profit.” That is, government should not impose more taxes than it actually uses to run the government. By designating tax revenue that exceeds operating costs as “bond surety escrow” for future liability, government avoids calling excess revenue “profit.”
Essentially, government entities, including all cities, counties, states and federal, are collecting hundreds of billions of virtually unreported dollars from decades of investment wealth, listed as “Other” operations. What this implies is that our government is collecting several times as much tax revenue as it spends on public services and using the majority of those revenues to enrich, empower and enlarge government at public expense.
Although the public is generally ignorant concerning CAFR, the primary cause for that ignorance is not the politicians but the mainstream media. Any reporter or media outlet that touches the issue would be silenced or driven from journalism. As a result, there’s been a total mainstream media blackout on disclosing CAFR reports. For over 25 years the directors and CEOs of the primary syndicated media organizations, both print and broadcast, have been sent state CAFR reports every year, and they have maintained a complete blackout towards even the simple mentioning of the report.

Chapter IV

Wars Do Not “Just”
Happen
There are a number of reasons why wars occur. Vast fortunes and vast political aims are achieved, however, the greater crime is how wars are set-up to occur, and how they are managed once they do happen. The Federalist Papers, the document which most comprehensively explains the logic behind the Constitution, discussed in great detail the true nature of war and why certain checks and balances were put in place to prevent American leaders from involving the American people from being involved in wars that do not directly threaten their shores. The only legitimate purpose of war is to defend ones homeland against foreign aggression.
To set the stage for war, both sides must first make one another look like the bad guy, to justify hating one another. A leader or country must be demonized for something they did or intend to do; something that they may have been provoked to do . . . something the public will likely not be told about. This is where brainwashing comes into play, via the news media.
In World War II, there were many German soldiers who were decent, good people, but they had to be brainwashed to hate the Americans. Our soldiers were decent, good people, but they had to be brainwashed to hate the Germans and so it goes with the Japanese or the Russians, etc. Therefore, each side is busy manipulating and lying to the public so “they” can have “their” war.
Next comes the funding to build the war machine. Who provides the funds for the ships, the aircraft, the bombs, the manpower? Tremendous profits are made from interest on money loaned and then from the manufacture of the weapons. Are the institutions who loan the funds encouraging the war, so vast profits “can” be made? Are they possibly financing both sides of the opposing forces? This is the crime that is greater than the event itself.
Is the stage being set today for World War III? Will all order be “allowed” to collapse and is the resulting chaos intended to let the people fight it out amongst themselves? Will the various ethnic and religious factions be aroused and invigorated throughout the world to fight “each other,” applying the age-old divide and conquer rule? Will future terrorist attacks be encouraged and/or allowed as part of this equation?
There is documented evidence, hidden from the public, that proves who has been behind these criminal acts.

Are We In a Police State?

Even though there is no outward appearance of a “police state” at this time, we must consider the following.
The traditional uniforms of our police have been blue or brown in color with visible name tags and nothing beyond this, other than a protective vest, has been used in the past.
Police today are abandoning their traditional uniforms for ones that resemble military and secret police uniforms. Black, camouflage, military helmets, face shields (hockey masks), with the absence of name tags, are being increasingly seen throughout the country. These outfits are “meant to intimidate.” Also, courtroom tactics such as paid informers (paid perjurers), expert witnesses (paid liars), and flagrant violations of due proces are used to gain convictions for arrests that arise from wiretaps, boots kicking in doors, agent provocateurs, attack dogs, tanks, tear gas, entrapment, or assassination by sniper.
These measures violate our constitutional rights and are utterly lawless and abhorrent to a truly free society.

Illegal Immigration

Most would agree that illegal immigration is a problem today. Not everyone would agree, though, that it is part of the design leading to world government.
Lax enforcement of immigration laws appears to be intentional. Why? Because illegal immigrants overburden government agencies that must administrate the programs for which these non-taxpayers qualify at taxpayer expense. They saturate the job markets, drive wages down and impoverish the American working class. Illegal immigrants reduce the percentage of the population of real Americans and divide their voting power.
This would not make any sense unless taken into consideration with the plan to establish global government. Is this possibly another tactic being used to enhance the divide and conquer rule, while bleeding the American people dry at the same time?


Secret Experiments

Conspiracy Theories

Is there truly a “conspiracy”. . . a diabolical plan to establish world government?
Whatever one chooses to call it, there definitely is a movement toward global economies and the transition appears to be unstoppable. However, the destruction of our constitutional republic and the transfer of our rights in exchange for their federal funding, grants, fiat money/computer entries... “must be stopped.”
If there is a diabolical plan to establish world government, why have the America people not been informed about this?
First, anyone who would be in a position to expose the plan and did, are ostracized in the media and if that doesn’t work, they are threatened, fired or simply murdered.
Another method of control is through corruption. Once someone is corrupted, they are not likely to expose “the big lie,” for fear of their own corruption being exposed.
The media maintains a complete blackout because reporters will not risk their jobs and the owners will not risk the loss of advertising dollars.

Chapter V

Sovereignty and Jurisdiction of Our Individual Rights

Since the formation of the first governments in America by the settlers at Jamestown in 1607 and the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1620, a common and uniform system of law and government had been created in America based upon the English common law and Biblical precepts. This system of law and government formed by the colonies evolved into our constitution for the union of the States and the First Ten Amendments of the Bill of Rights based on these principles, with our individual rights being protected under common law jurisdiction.
At the same time Roman civil law was well entrenched in the colonies because it was the basis of the admiralty-maritime laws that governed commerce upon the seas internationally as well as ports of call.
However, something occurred after the Constitution was ratified which became the key that unlocked the destruction of our individual rights, and the protection of those rights under the common law, running counter to what the Founders intended.
Some researchers say the 14th Amendment of 1868, following the Civil War, was the pivotal Act which transferred jurisdiction of our rights into the “admiralty-maritime” jurisdiction of Roman civil law. Arguments supporting this state that the amendment was instrumental in shifting citizenship of each American from being primarily a state Citizen to being a citizen of the private corporation of the federal government and that the stage was set for private law to be used outside the Constitution to financially enslave the masses for their assumed benefit, destroying the republican union.
The 14th Amendment “has” proven to not only be unconstitutional, being repugnant to the original fundamental law, but of also being fraudulently ratified because of the numerous unlawful procedural acts committed through corruption and usurpation during its adoption.
Other research emphasizes that we may “never have” been sovereign and that the Corporation of England was merely traded after the revolution, to be controlled by the Corporation of the States. These were plantation colonies of the Crown in corporate structure before the planned war. Those agents of the Crown, the founding father lawyers, controlled by the middle and inner temples of the Crown, took control of the states (colonies) in the 1787 contract/covenant/constitution. So technically and legally, even historically, the common people never have been sovereign.
The argument states that irrefutably, the United States is a corporation and has citizens. States are corporations and have citizens. Are you a citizen of either? Are we then a “joint venture?” Do you claim to be a “resident” or “inhabitant?” Are we then a “person” by association with either corporation? Is this word in the definition of 26 U.S.C. 7701 (a) (1)? Therefore, under this principle a “U.S. citizen” is a citizen of the incorporating United States and that is why in 26 U.S.C. 7701 (a) 39 it states what it does. Under “joint venture” principle, all people who are “citizens of the State” are United States citizens, and are in contract with the State in its corporate capacity. When we buy property we are only holding the property of the State in a fiduciary capacity paying rent in the form of an ad valorem tax. Therefore, the U.S. can tax the fiduciary holding State property because they are citizens, or joint-venturers with the State in its corporate capacity. This is because the states are nothing more than “Districts” of the United States. This allows the U.S. to seek out and tax its subjects, people claiming “citizenship” of the state, for they are also U.S. citizens by congress’ definition of “individual.”
In order to constitute a joint venture, a joint enterprise, or common purpose, there must be an agreement (your claim of citizenship and/or registering to vote for the CEO) to enter into an undertaking in respect of which the parties have a community of interest and a common purpose for its performance.
Where this leads is arguing that the first Governor of the newly formed union, Governor Caswell of North Carolina, laid a property tax on the people and land, and every state in the union followed suit at that time. If American’s were truly sovereign and free, there would be no way to lay a property tax and take that property if the people did not pay this tax. This in itself should be clear evidence that no one actually owns their property as a sovereign inhabitant, but are essentially paying rent, and if one chooses to not pay the tax, they will soon discover who does own the property.
So, was the 14th Amendment possibly just the nail that sealed the sovereignty coffin of previous acts? Was the United States incorporated from the beginning or did that occur in 1871 with the “Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia?” No matter what the argument or interpretation of the whats, whens and hows of sovereignty and jurisdiction, the fact is, we are not sovereign inhabitant’s upon the land at this date, with access only to admiralty-maritime jurisdiction in the courts.
The primary aspect of sovereignty should be that it is a natural, inherent right to own property and that our right to be secure within that property, as an independent inhabitant on the land, is unalienable. This is what the concept of America, and freedom, encompasses.

Note: Individuals across the country have argued constitutional issues countless times only to have them addressed as being frivolous and of no consequence. Judges have been heard to comment that they will not hear the Constitution in their court.
Interpretations presented here of our legal standing are just that, interpretations. Since no court in the nation will address why and how we lost access to our common law courts, it remains to ourselves to understand the web that has been spun for us.

Life Terms of Supreme Court Justices

Another consideration in the attempt to understand the avenues that led to the corruption of our constitution was alluded to by Thomas Jefferson when he wrote on December 25, 1820: “The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working underground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our Constitution from a coordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone... Having found from experience that impeachment is an impracticable thing, a mere scare-crow, they consider themselves secure for life; they skulk from responsibility to public opinion, the only remaining hold on them, under a practice first introduced into England by Lord Mansfield. An opinion is huddled up in conclave, perhaps by a majority of one, delivered as if unanimous, and with the silent acquiescence of lazy or timid associates, by a crafty judge who sophisticates the law to his mind by the turn of his own reasoning.”
On September 2, 1821 he wrote: “To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions, is very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps. Their maxim is ‘boni est amplifcare jurisdictionem,’ and their power the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible as the other functionaries are to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.”
The Supreme Court of the judiciary branch of government, as provided by the Constitution, is in a position to make constitutional interpretations and decisions, yet, with all the frailties of being human, and being corruptible one of them, could this be the fatal flaw of our constitution, since “life” appointments do not allow “checks and balances” of accountability.
From 1807-1809 attempts had been made in each branch of Congress to amend the Constitution so that all judges should hold office for a term of years and be removable by the President on address by two-thirds of both Houses. This proposition was supported by resolves of the Legislatures of Pennsylvania and Vermont, as well as by the actions of the House of Delegates in Virginia and one branch of the legislature of Tennessee.

“It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: The conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder. What are the consequences of such a perversion? It would take volumes to describe them all. Thus we must content ourselves with pointing out the most striking. In the first place, it erases from everyone’s conscience the distinction between justice and injustice.
Another effect of this tragic perversion of the law is that it gives an exaggerated importance to political passions and conflicts and to politics in general.”
~Fredrick Bastiat, 1848

The Missing 13th Amendment

In 1789, the House of Representatives compiled a list of possible Constitutional Amendments, some of which would ultimately become our Bill of Rights. The House proposed seventeen; the Senate reduced the list to twelve. During this process Senator Tristrain Dalton (Mass.) proposed an Amendment seeking to prohibit and provide a penalty for any American accepting a “title of Nobility” (RG 46 Records of the U.S. Senate). Although it wasn’t passed, this was the first time a “title of nobility” amendment was proposed.
In colonial America, attorneys trained attorneys but most held no “title of nobility” or “honor.” There was no requirement that one be a lawyer to hold the position of district attorney, attorney general, or judge; a citizen’s “counsel of choice” was not restricted to a lawyer; there were no state or national bar associations. The only organization that certified attorneys was the International Bar Association (IBA), chartered by the King of England, headquartered in London, and closely associated with the international banking system. Lawyers admitted to the IBA received the rank “Esquire”. . . a “title of nobility.”
“Esquire” was the principle title of nobility which the 13th Amendment sought to prohibit from the United States. Why? Because the loyalty of “Esquire” lawyers was suspect. Bankers and lawyers with an “Esquire” behind their names were agents of the monarchy, members of an organization whose principle purposes were political, not economic, and regarded with the same wariness that some people today reserve for members of the KGB or CIA.
Article 1, Sect. 9 of the Constitution sought to prohibit the International Bar Association (or any other agency that granted titles of nobility) from operating in America. But the Constitution neglected to specify a penalty, so the prohibition was ignored, and agents of the monarchy continued to infiltrate and influence the government. Therefore, a “title of nobility” amendment that specified a penalty (loss of citizenship) was proposed in 1789, and again in 1810 to prohibit bankers and lawyers from perverting government. This amendment was ratified by 1819 but was ignored and covered up by Lincoln’s 13th Amendment.
Copies of the Constitution with the missing 13th Amendment, printed in at least eighteen separate publications by ten different states and territories over four decades, from 1822 to 1860, reads as follows:
“If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honor, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.”
The relevance here is that for any lawyer to practice law they must be a member of the American Bar Association. (Does Bar Assoc. stand for British Accredited Registry?) Who controls the ABA and can it be trusted? The intent of the missing 13th Amendment indicates that it cannot. Doesn’t the current state of the legal system legitimize our distrust?
~from David Dodge

The Rule Of Law Today

An ancient practice of a doctrine called stare decisis must also be considered in the endeavor to understand our legal status today.
It means the decision has been made already, to look to past decisions and apply them today, with the most recent decision having the force of law. This legal doctrine was in common use in courtrooms before the U.S. Constitution was written. The practice of citing earlier court decisions as “precedence” began in about the 1400’s as Great Britain was transitioning from a verbal to a written culture.
Past decisions, thus, are sometimes more pertinent as law than the written laws themselves, so today the Constitution is sometimes barred from court because lawyers believe it is better to discuss court cases where constitutional issues were discussed earlier. That way, they believe they are applying the law with consistency, with fewer contradictions.
What this means is that when we deal with government agents, especially those who are lawyers, we must speak about court decisions, viewing written law as inferior, setting aside Codes, forgetting the significance of statutes and turning our back upon the words of the state and federal constitutions. Unless we speak the convoluted language of, “the winner versus the loser,” we will not speak the language spoken by lawyers. We will instead be looked upon with disdain for our naivete.
All jurisprudence since before the founding of our nation has rested upon this principle of stare decisis. The U.S. Constitution itself was born into the doctrine of stare decisis. The Constitution is subject to stare decisis. Nothing in the U.S. Constitution negates or modifies the practice. So, if a president violates the Constitution and gets away with it, if he does something contrary to law and he is unchallenged, what he did stands in jurisprudence with more power than law itself. That presidential practice in violation of the Constitution means that he who rules under our Constitution has the right to rule in violation of the Constitution. Why? Because his behavior was unchallenged, so “it has been decided.”
The federal government had its authority challenged in the mid 1800’s. Eleven southern states wanted out of the union they helped create. The so-called “Civil War” set down some important precedents. It severed the relationship between the southern states and the District of Columbia. It cut the relationships between southern congressional representatives and the House and Senate. The too often ignored relationship that was severed by the war, however, was the relationship of the U.S. constitutional authority over the federal government. The relationship between the Constitution and the presidency was severed. Lincoln started the war with no declaration of war, as demanded by the Constitution, and prevented Congress from convening for three months. Lincoln viewed his breach of the Constitution as a violation of the “relation between the People and the Constitution.”
Lincoln rightly understood that when a president violates the Constitution, he cuts off the People from their sovereign control of government as structured by the U.S. Constitution. He violated the provisions of the Constitution in his effort to preserve and defend it. He knew what he was doing and he knew that after the war he would have to make things right again, stating that he would “restore the relation between the Constitution and the People” when the war was over. We must assume his heart was in the right place, however, his assassination prevented him from accomplishing this.
When Lincoln was killed, Congress would not allow President Johnson to carry out Lincolns good intentions. “That was the act.” That congressional act of negligence stands under the stare decisis rule as the pivotal constitutional precedent in U.S. history.
In Reconstruction, duress and the rule of force took the place of the concepts expressed in the Constitution. Yet, duress and the rule of force have legitimacy today because the Constitution is subject to stare decisis. So, it became constitutional for government to violate the U.S. Constitution. That’s how the 14th and 15th Amendments were “ratified” as Northern soldiers forced the “correct” vote in Southern legislatures.
Congress did the act and Congress was not challenged. Therefore, duress became a legal, constitutional method for establishing contracts involving government agencies. Force, rather than common sense became common and appropriate legal behavior whenever one of us faces a government agency in court. Are you threatened by the power of the IRS? Beware. Their power is real and it has the force of law because of this convolution of history. Congress used “Reconstruction” under the power of the rifle to send northern troops into Southern legislators to force passage of laws required by the northern conquerors. Then, ironically, state legislators at the same time were forced to behave as though they had all the powers of statehood, the nation depending upon their agreement under duress, passing such acts as the 14th Amendment.
Because nothing has been done, no action taken to restore the relationship between the People and the U.S. Constitution and no peace treaty ever struck to end the Civil War, we in the states and we as a nation as a whole, continue to live under military rule, not under the concepts expressed in the U.S. Constitution, but nevertheless under the Constitution as degraded by stare decesis.
~from Media ByPass

Are our courts guided by Stare Desis? If so, then in all minor instances, seeing that they operate by the force of the gun, we must cooperate with government authorities, allowing ourselves to live in peace, until we can get back to the written law, and the Constitution, in our courts.
You Decide.

Where would we be today if the rule of precedent had controlled our forefathers? Is the Constitution to be enslaved by any such technical doctrine as stare decisis, and thus manacled with parchment chains? When Franklin stood at the bar of the English Commons ought he to have been satisfied to abandon the claims of the colonists because Mansfield, Thurlow, Eldon and Boston-born Copley could have demonstrated to him that precedent upon precedent fully sustained the right and the power of Parliament to tax the colonists without representation?

It was the states that created the federal government and those states had their own Citizens. It was those Citizens that created the states that later created the Constitution and the federal government. Thus, governments are creatures of the creators.

The term U.S. citizen is used on many government forms and in federal law. What does the term mean? Does it mean the several states united under the Constitution or does it mean the U.S. corporation in singular form.

DECLARATION
Of Violations to the Constitution
for the United States of America

This appeal is directed to our Mothers, our Fathers, our Brothers, our Sisters, our Neighbors, our Friends; to research the following and consider the very fact that America today, is a conquered nation, without knowing she has been conquered.
The Constitution for the United States of America is a document that has allowed and protected a freedom greater than has ever before been experienced in the history of mankind. It evolved from the wisdom and inspiration of former ages with a collection of usages more perfect than any human wisdom could at once have framed. It has arisen out of social wants and been adapted to the necessities of actual practice, being a reflection of knowledge from the time of the Ancient Greeks to the era of the Magna Carta in 1215. Many people lost their lives for its creation.
On July 4, 1776, Congress signed the unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America. They declared that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of the ends to the People’s unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, that it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government. The first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence states, “When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which connected them with another...a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
This appeal, with respect to the opinions of mankind, impels us to declare the causes of our grievances, demanding that our constitutional republic, the United States of America, a sovereign nation-state, be restored to its proper, organic, form.
Our history since King George III is of secret powers and institutions that have seized control of the United States of America, the Republic, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny, a New World Order, over these States. We are no longer a government of the People, by the People, for the People, but are today a government, of the elite corporation, by the elite corporation, for the elite corporation.
These secret powers and institutions influence Congress and legislation, through special interests, for their benefit and the design to establish world government, being comprised of; the owners of the Federal Reserve System, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral Commission, the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA), the Club of Rome, various other secret societies and the international banking community.
To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
On July 28, 1868, Congress fraudulently ratified the 14th Amendment, closing the southern plantation to free the negro slaves and opened the federal plantation to make everyone slaves, altering our citizenship status to replace our Bill of Rights with a due process clause open to their interpretation and subsequent emasculation.
On February 25, 1913, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution (income tax) was, through their influence, signed into law. The income tax is an unconstitutional direct tax on peoples’ wages, thereby transferring the assets of the American People to the government and the International Bankers.
On December 23, 1913, the delegated authority of Congress to be responsible for the nation’s currency was, through their influence, illicitly, unconstitutionally and treasonously surrendered to the private Federal Reserve Corporation, whose class A stockholders are various international bankers. Nowhere does the Constitution allow for a private institution to issue our currency and charge interest for it.
They intentionally shorted the money supply in the national money markets in 1929, forcing the United States of America into the Great Depression of the 1930s.
They influenced the People, and Congress, to adopt the charter of the United Nations, a world governing body, without constitutional authority.
They influenced the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993, allowing unfair trade practices that benefit the elite corporations and encourage American industrial flight to foreign countries with cheap labor.
They have influenced the imposition of federal mandates on every local and state entity in the nation through binding federal funding, nullifying the protection of the 10th Amendment and States rights along with our most fundamental concept of government that reserves “Power to the People.”

SUMMARY: Through the knowing or unknowing complicity of their Agents (local, state and federal officials) they have completely debauched the monetary system, destroyed the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, aided and abetted the enemies of America and human freedom in general, declared war on the American People and their posterity, incited rebellion and anarchy within the de jure society, taken false oaths, entered into seditious foreign agreements, pacts, confederations, treaties and alliances, and under a pretense of “emergency,” formed and established a multitude of offices of alien allegiance to perpetuate their plunder, conquest and subjugation of what was once considered “the last great hope of human freedom”— all to ultimately establish a New World Order.
By continuing to administer this perfidy, acting for a foreign power, treason is being committed against not only the Constitution, but against truth, rightness and the real Sovereigns of the nation, the People themselves.
