Do natural rights exist, or are all rights granted by government?

by

Yes we have natural rights.
The first sentence of the Declaration of Independence says that it is the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God that entitles the U.S. to exist.

The basis for the Declaration of Independence was our right to throw off our previous government. Our right to reclaim government is from a maxim Legibus sumptis desinentibus, lege naturae utendum est. When laws of the state fail, we must resort to the laws of nature.

Some people claim that there is a Social Compact which requires us to submit to government. Some people believe we must forfeit rights and freedoms to have a “civil and orderly” society. Thomas Jefferson was there and he had no such thought.  
The social compact theory of government says we give up some rights when we enter society. Yet twenty-nine years after the Constitution was written, this theory was refuted by Thomas Jefferson when he warned about this emerging dangerous theory.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So…

“Social contract arguments typically posit that individuals have consented, either explicitly or tacitly, to surrender some of their freedoms and submit to the authority of the ruler or magistrate (or to the decision of a majority), in exchange for protection of their remaining rights.”

Have your neighbors infused into government an authority that “We The People”, who created government, did not ourselves have? Some people believe we must forfeit rights and freedoms to have a “civil and orderly” society.

Thomas Jefferson was there and he never had such a thought:
 • Thomas Jefferson: “the idea is quite unfounded that on entering into society we give up any natural rights.” – letter to F. W. Gilmer 1816.

• Younger Thomas Jefferson, in 1774, proclaimed that rights do not come from government: “

“These are our grievances, which we have thus laid before his Majesty, with that freedom of language and sentiment which becomes a free people, claiming their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.” — Jefferson, Rights of British America, 1774, page 141

Rights do not come from government.

We are born free, with the rights of all mankind.

We are all created equal. We are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights.

  • Equals have no duty to obey other equals. Equals would not salute other equals. Equals will not consent to be governed.

Governments are instituted among men to secure Creator-endowed unalienable rights. Government is an artificial entity created on paper by “equals”. The “equals” are responsible for controlling what they create.

  • If we are all equal, then where will equals find subordinates that can be controlled? Their artificial entity cannot be run by equals (who have no duty to obey other equals); it can only be run by subordinates.

One becomes subordinate by swearing an oath-of-office* – thereby agreeing to faithfully serve the artificial entity created by superiors. Their superiors will only govern their subordinates by the consent of the governed subordinates. Oaths are only taken by subordinates (in the Bible ever since Abraham swore an oath to King Abimelech to settle a dispute, and Hebrews 6:16, etc.)

Nature’s God is mentioned in the first sentence of the Declaration. You had a right to your God-given free will — until you voluntarily waived your rights.

Rights only come with responsibilities. There is a reason that you do not have rights.

Government now encourages us to be irresponsible. The same government that once required us to be responsible.

People are tricked out of their rights by legalities they did not understand.

The civil laws reduce an ungrateful freeman to slavery. The maxim is found in every law dictionary:

“The civil laws reduce an ungrateful freedman to his original slavery” Libertinum ingratum leges civiles in pristinam servitutem redigunt.

You lost your rights when you voluntarily confessed, on a permanent irrevocable federal document, that you are an ungrateful socialist who cannot manage your own life. In order to do this, you had to deny that we are created equal, you had to covet your neighbors’ wealth, you had to worship grave images, you had to change your citizenship, and you had to bow down to a graven master/provider/protector/lord. And you agreed to swear oaths (contrary to Matthew 5:34 and James 5:12).

* (even though contrary to moral principles)

You voluntarily consented to be governed

Texas Supreme Court In Dallas v. Mitchell, 245 SW 944:

“The rights of the individual are not derived from governmental agencies, … or even from the Constitution, but they exist inherently in every man, and are merely reaffirmed in the Constitution and restricted only to the extent they have been voluntarily surrendered by the citizenship to the agencies of government.”

Back in 1798, the people living in Kentucky wanted assurance that they were free from federal law. They knew they were free from most federal laws but they remained skeptical. Vice President Thomas Jefferson reassured them in the Kentucky Resolves that State Citizens are subject to only three federal laws. Vice President Jefferson wrote both Kentucky Resolutions.

“Resolved, that the Constitution of the United States having delegated to Congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies and felonies committed on the High Seas, and offenses against the laws of nations, and no other crimes, whatsoever, and it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, “that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, . . . “

As a State Citizen, YOU WERE FREE FROM FEDERAL JURISDICTION, until you surrendered. When you volunteer into the federal government, you voluntarily submit yourself to a form of government that owes allegiance to two sovereignties. You voluntarily deny that we are created equal.

The U.S. Supreme Court in the Cruikshank case, 92 US at 551:

“It is the natural consequence of a citizenship which owes allegiance to two sovereignties, and claims protection from both. The citizen cannot complain, because he has voluntarily submitted himself to such a form of government.”

Your natural birth did NOT voluntarily submit yourself to the federal government. You voluntarily entered the federal government when you signed a federal form. You also have to be “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”. See Elk v. Wilkins* for the extent to which you must be subject. (“not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to…“)

We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. That to secure those rights governments are instituted among men. The social compact theory of government says we give up some rights when we enter society. Yet twenty-nine years after the Constitution was written, this theory was refuted by Thomas Jefferson when he warned about this emerging dangerous theory.

*The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the meaning of the first sentence of the 14th Amendment in Elk v. Wilkins in 1884 (112 U.S. 94,): The persons declared to be are `all persons born or naturalized in the united states, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ The evident meaning of these last words is, not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiance.”

What did you sign that waived your rights by legalities that you did not understand?

The three rights of all mankind.

What were your rights under the original understanding of the U.S. Constitution?

The Declaration of Independence defines government secured Rights in one long sentence:

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The ONLY rights mentioned in The Declaration of Independence are unalienable Creator-granted rights. They are God-given. They are not granted by government. There is NO mention of civil rights. Your God-given rights are to be secured by government — which is the ONLY stated reason that governments are instituted among men.

I will now prove that in the United States “the rights of all mankind” are the rights that government was instituted among men to secure.

The purpose of government was to protect your God-given free will from all known methods of compulsion.

Here is the proof.

The common law in colonial America had three human rights (called “the rights of all mankind” and also called “the residuum of natural liberty” — quoted below) that could never be surrendered to government: The right to personal liberty, the right to self-defense, and the right to own private property. The English common law considered these to be the residual of natural liberty which could never be “required by the laws of society to be sacrificed to public convenience … ” The preservation of these rights, inviolate, secured the preservation of civilized society (according to the introduction to the 1769 book Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Law, Book 4 — this linkis to an 1803 revision that includes Virginia law.)

The rights themselves, thus defined by these several statutes, consist in a number of private immunities, which will appear, from what has been premised, to be indeed no other, than either that residuum of natural liberty, which is not required by the laws of society to be sacrificed to public convenience; or else those civil privileges, which society hath engaged to provide, in lieu of the natural liberties so given up by individuals. These, therefore, were formerly, either by inheritance or purchase, the rights of all mankind; but, in most other countries of the world being now more or less debased and destroyed, they at present may be said to remain, in a peculiar and emphatical manner, the rights of the people of England. And these may be reduced to three principal or primary articles; the right of personal security, the right of personal liberty, and the right of private property: because, as there is no other known method of compulsion, or of abridging man’s natural free will, but by an infringement or diminution of one or other of these important rights, the preservation of these, inviolate, may justly be said to include the preservation of our civil immunities in their largest and most extensive sense. “

That was the understanding of American rights under the U. S. Constitution in 1803 Virginia.
 If your God-given (Creator-endowed was the terminology used in 1776) are now subject to government compulsion, there must be a reason.

What did you sign that ensnared yourself to legalities that you did not understand?

Civil Law in the U.S.

Every law dictionary will tell you “The civil laws reduce an ungrateful freedman to his original slavery” Libertinum ingratum leges civiles in pristinam servitutem redigunt. Before you can understand that you voluntered into slavery, you must understand the purpose of government benefits that are offered to those who confess they need government assistance.

So just what is this Civil Law that reduced us to our slavery?

It is the same Roman Law that executed Christ.

Black’s Law Dictionary definition of Constitutor:

Black’s Law Dictionary definition of Constitutor

Ben Franklin’s 18 million Livra Revolutionary War debtwas due January 1, 1788, and we could not pay it. So your “founding fathers” held a Constitutional Convention to transfer the debt to you. The Constitution was ratified by Three-Fourths of the States.

The Constitutional Convention was constituted under the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation require a unanimous passage of any agreement between States. No group of States can gang-up and speak for remaining States. How did 3/4 get the authority to speak for the remaining States?

The 18 Million Livra debt has not been paid yet, thanks to principalities and powers in high places. So keep paying.

EQUITY

Equity is defined today as “the quality of being fair or impartial; fairness; impartiality”

In the law it has been “called chancery. A system of jurisprudence or a body of doctrines and rules developed in England and followed in the U.S., serving to supplement and remedy the limitations and the inflexibility of the common law. ”

According to Webster’s 1913 Unabridged Dictionary: [unstated: By the year 1873 …]

“when rules of equity and of common law, in any particular case, conflict, the rules of equity are to prevail”.

And the Encyclopedia Britannica of 1911 (11th edition, Vol IX, page 727) stated of equity jurisdiction:

“The evils of this double system of judicature…were enforced by the Act of 1873 which consolidated the courts of law and equity, and ordered that law and equity should be administered concurrently.”

That’s right! The Encyclopedia Britannica called your judicial system evil. You should recognize evil when you see it.

William Blackstone’s 1765 Commentaries on the Law are considered by the Supreme Court to be part of the received-law-of-the-land. In the introduction to this 4 volume law textbooks there is a summary of the law that is derived from the laws of nature:

“… no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this: and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original.. … Neither could any other law possibly exist; … for we are all equal, without any other superior but him who is the author of our being.”

AUTHORITY IS ALWAYS WHERE IT BEGAN, WITH THE AUTHOR

Martin Luther’s Secular Authority: To What Extent It Should be Obeyed, was published in 1523. Samuel Rutherford published Lex Rex in 1644. We executed King Charles I in 1649. The divine right of Kings to rule was completely refuted in 1688 by John Locke’s First Treatise of Government.

Law is King (Lex Rex) refers to divine law, not to tyranny. “Where-ever law ends, tyranny begins”

The divine laws of nature and of nature’s God are mentioned in the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence as the authority that entitles the United States to exist.

It was recognized in Protestant cultures that all sovereign authority is vested in the people. Supreme power – jura summi imperii – resides in the people. They can create their government to protect their unalienable God-given rights. They can write whatever law and delegate whatever authority is needed to control the government they create. Or alter their form of Government. The Declaration of Independence says “it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such Government”

This principle was valid when Wycliffe wrote the introduction to his English Bible translation. He said that the Bible creates a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Lincoln became famous for quoting it.

This principle was our right since the beginning. Alexander Hamilton, Federalist #28:

“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, … if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, … The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”

Does that sound like Hamilton expected us to blindly obey government powers because they are somehow ordained of God to be higher powers?

The law of nature requires us to supervise our civil servants, and if they fail to enforce the divine law of nature, we are restored to the nature that we were in prior to creating government, for we are all equal. See Locke’s Second Treatise paragraphs 135, 149, 171, 209. . Legibus sumptis desinentibus, lege naturae utendum est. When laws of the state fail, we must resort to the laws of nature.

This principle was still valid when Abraham Lincoln made his First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861:

“This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.”

Does that sound like Lincoln expected us to obey government powers ? Did Lincoln’s words go over your head?

If you don’t understand why a president would speak of overthrowing government then you don’t understand authority. Abe knew where his authority came from. We The People are the jura summi imperii that created a limited government (limited to the 18 things we delegated to them). The posterity of We The People are responsible for controlling the creature we created.

Reasons to refuse REAL ID

by

Have you noticed that you are denied more and more liberty unless you swear allegiance to your Novus Ordo Seclorum secular New World Order?  There is a reason for this.

Their assault on your liberty will incrementally increase until you acquiesce.  Resistance is futile.  You will assimilate. Your only options will be to either live as a hermit, or join a community of believers who will not violate fundamental principles.

Government is a manmade (graven) artificial entity.  It was created on paper — the Constitution — and run by those who swear an oath of allegiance to obey the  words on paper. Now that everyone was taught to automatically worship the artificial entity, the Real ID laws demand allegiance to a not-real graven-image.

Their unceasing march to compel allegiance will continue.  They will eliminate most buying and selling until you comply.  When Islamic extremists in Syria had a kneel or starve policy, the rest of the world called it genocide. It happens in the U.S. every day and nobody notices.

The U.S. Supreme Court in Aptheker v. Secretary of State, quoted below, declared that identification documents are abhorrent in the U.S.  And that’s right here in a country where the Supreme Court declared in Marbury v. Madison that elected government officers were not entitled to, and could not get, government ID to prove who they are.  That’s right.  We don’t need no stinking badges.

FORCED ALLEGIANCE

As a comparison to state ID laws, lets examine the Passport application.  Applying for a passport presumes an oath of Allegiance. Title 22 US Code section 6-212:

“No passport shall be granted or issued to or verified for any other persons than those owing allegiance, whether citizens or not, to the United States”.

And now the Real ID state ID and driver licenses do the same thing.  REAL ID is a real nightmare.

FORCED SLAVERY

There is no need to repeal the 13th Amendment to legalize slavery. Don’t look now, but voluntary slavery is perfectly Constitutional.

Allegiance is required by Homeland Security in their Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, section 337 as a commitment to perform unpaid slave labor.

… I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God”

A passport application legally makes one subject to indefinite “work of national importance.” Is there a limit to this “work of national importance”, or is it an oath to perform unlimited hours of perpetual slavery?

Now go to a Law Dictionary and lookup Villenage. “A feudal tenure whereby the tenant was bound to do all such services as the lord commanded”.   Welcome to your Novus Ordo Seclorum.

THE IRONY OF TODAY’S FORCED ALLEGIANCE

A forced signature is not a signature.  It is a crime to force a signature.

How did we evolve from a government that secures the blessings of liberty, to one that denies the right to travel  (and SSN wage authorization numbers) until you swear a perjury-oath signature on government applications? Back in 1956 the Supreme Court determined in Ullmann v. United States, 350 U.S. 422 that such punishments are for criminal acts, and now the same punishments are automatic until you are compelled to deny religious liberty.

“The forfeiture of property on compelled testimony is no more abhorrent than the forfeiture of rights of citizenship. Any forfeiture of rights as a result of compelled testimony is at war with the Fifth Amendment.
”The Court apparently distinguishes the Boyd case on the ground that the forfeiture of property was a penalty affixed to a criminal act. The loss of a job and the ineligibility for a passport are also penalties affixed to a criminal act.

RELIGIOUS OBJECTIONS ARE NOW MEANINGLESS

ID applications are submitted under the penalty of perjury according to the law, even if the signature line fails to mention the standard perjury-oath signature stipulation.

Licenses and ID cards now require swearing, contrary to the command of Christ to never swear.  Christ told us to never swear oaths in Matthew 5:34.  Above all thing, Christians will not swear oaths, least they be condemned.  James 5:12.

Some states have regulations that require a signature under penalty of perjury, but now hide the requirement for swearing by using the word “declare” — which means the same thing and has the same effect.  And they like to point out that  “affirm” does not invoke any religious connotation.  They lie.  It has the same effect.  Just because some Quakers once allegedly agreed — or at least failed to protest — the affirmation redefinition, does not mean “affirm” remains free of religious connotation.  It might as well mean that you kneel to the state as your god.

Another requirement is that you must be a resident.  See definitions, below.  Also look up your own state’s definition.  You cannot qualify to be a resident without applying for government granted-benefits.  Once you ask for benefits, you are reduced to slavery.  Every Law Dictionary will tell you “The civil laws reduce an ungrateful freedman to his original slavery” Libertinum ingratum leges civiles in pristinam servitutem redigunt.

  • In a nation where we are all created equal, only subordinates will take oaths. Equals will not salute equals.  Equals have no duty to obey other equals.
  • A perjury oath signature is an oath.
  • Every encyclopedia and dictionary will tell you that an oath is a religious ritual.
  • Hebrews 6:16, oaths are only taken to superiors.
  • James 5:12 Above all things, do not swear, least ye be condemned.  Why am I required to condemn myself to regain a right to contract?
  • When ISIS in Syria starved Christians to death with their “kneel or starve” policy, everyone called it genocide.  Why do U.S. banks and employers commit genocide and nobody cares?
DEFINITIONS OF RESIDENT.

Black’s Law Dictionary, first edition (published in 1891 long after the 14th Amendment) gives the definition of Resident:

“RESIDENT: A tenant, who was obliged to reside on his lord’s land, and not depart from the same, a resident may not be entitled to all the privileges or subject to all the duties of an inhabitant. 9 Wend. 11.

AND

Vittel’s Law of Nations, chapter 19 (attached):

residents are aliens who do not enjoy the rights of citizenship.”

Do not think that this has changed.  You changed.  You forfeited your citizenship.

U.S. NATIONAL ID LAW WRITTEN BY KGB CHIEFS

Ex-KGB Chiefs Gen. Yevgeni Primakov (also former President of Russia and close associate of Saddam Hussein) and Karpov were hired as consultants to work in the Department of Homeland Security to help in designing an internal passport for U.S. under the pretense of fighting the never-ending ‘war on terrorism’.

THE BATTLE AGAINST INTERNATIONAL ID

DISCRIMINATION

Those who think that rights come from government can complain about discrimination.

Here is a link to a 2006 study that shows 18% of seniors, and 25% of blacks do not have photo identification. Here.  This study influenced some state courts to declare their voter ID laws were unconstitutional.

ALLEGIANCE
Involuntary servitude is prohibited by the 13th Amendment. Voluntary servitude is entirely Constitutional. They are setting us up for slavery. How harsh will be this “work of national importance” that you agreed to perform for 24 hours a day for the rest of your life? Even Compton’s dictionary says that statute labor is often indistinguishable from slavery.

Why give allegiance to the manmade (graven – created) above your allegiance to the Creator?  We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that to secure those rights governments are created among men. How can it be that any government that was created to secure Creator-endowed (God-given) rights, now conditions those rights upon a denial of God?  Nature’s God entitles the U.S. to exist, according to the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence.  How can this entitlement be presumed by those who now deny the legitimacy of their office.

    • Doesn’t the first Commandment require allegiance to the LORD, a jealous god, such that you would have no other Elohiym before Him?
  • Doesn’t the second Commandment prohibit bowing down (saluting) or serving a manmade (graven) artificial entity?
  • The truth that we are all created equal IS the opposite of allegiance.

We would not have a Switzerland today if William Tell had saluted judge Gissler.  Scotland has their own Parliament because Braveheart William Wallace chose to be executed rather than pledge allegiance to the King of England.  And the U.S. Supreme Court tells us that we have a Fifth Amendment because in 1637 John Lilburn risked being torn apart by teams of horses rather than swear an oath to King Charles.

    • Those who seek to save their lives will lose them. Luke 17:33. Just like all the apostles who were executed. They stood firm.
  • Galatians 5:1 (KJV) “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
  • Those who endure to the end shall be saved.
  • Your duty is to obey the LORD and suffer the consequences.
  • Obedience to counterfeit authority is mutiny against legitimate authority.
YOUR PAPERS PLEASE.

U.S. Supreme Court Aptheker v. Secretary of State, 378 U.S. 500 (1964):

“Free movement by the citizen is of course as dangerous to a tyrant as free expression of ideas or the right of assembly and it is therefore controlled in most countries in the interests of security. … That is why the ticketing of people and the use of identification papers are routine matters under totalitarian regimes, yet abhorrent in the United States.”

Many Jews today still oppose mandatory ID, see: http://jpfo.org/alerts/alert20011116.htm

Debt Currency is unsustainable

by

Debt Currency is unsustainable
by Steven D. Miller

Many people believe that earning interest is a good thing.  Many people believe that charging interest is a wise business practice.  They have been brainwashed.

Federal Reserve Notes are instruments of debt.  They are borrowed into circulation*.   The U.S. Constitution only allows gold and silver coin minted by the U.S. Mint.  (see my essay The Constitution requires a balanced budget.)  State governments cannot emit bills of credit.

Even one percent interest is unsustainable. It will destroy us.  Usury is still illegal. Thou shalt not lend upon usury.  You agreed to be the collateral for the national debt, which is now unpayable.**

USURY BANKING

Usury is an abomination according to Ezekiel 18:13.

You have no right to accept or charge interest. Interest is a government granted privilege.  Government privileges can be regulated and taxed.

Interest is a government granted privilege that is granted by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1913 contrary to Biblical principles. The borrower is a slave to the lender (Proverbs 22:7). One percent interest is usury (Nehemiah 5:10-11). A Bible believer will never accept usury (Psalms 15:5, Ezekiel 18:13) or charge usury (Deuteronomy 23:19-20, Exodus 22:25).  Punished by death Ezekiel 18:13. In your own country, up until 1694, accepting or paying interest was a punishable crime. Government incorporated banks can give usury. In order to do this they need an SSN so that they can tax this government granted privilege. You might still be able to get a non-interest checking account without a number. By the way, Private banks can pay interest too, but they must pay a 10% tax for this government granted privilege (see US Supreme Court Veazie Bank v. Fenno, 75 US 533). There are no private banks left, other than the Federal Reserve.  A national banking system is the fifth plank of the Communist Manifesto .

Biblical Note: The very same unchanging Jesus Christ who said that not one jot nor tittle shall fall from the law also told the parable of the ten talents in which a master used sarcasm to rebuke an unprofitable servant. Luke 19:23. Sarcasm does not authorize usury. He was saying (my paraphrase): “So you think I’m a hardened criminal who reaps what he doesn’t sow, why then didn’t you go all the way and commit the crime of usury by depositing my money in a bank.”

Paying or collecting interest is still the crime of usury. But it is no longer punishable for those who want government to protect them from God’s laws. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 1913 case, German Alliance Insurance Co. v. Kansas, 233 U.S. 389 at page 432 that

“Moreover, interest laws were in their inception not a restriction upon the right of contract but an enlargement, permitting what theretofore had been regarded both as an ecclesiastical and civil offense. … they therefore fall within the rule that contemporary practice, if subsequently continued and universally acquiesced in, amounts to an interpretation of the Constitution.”

How do you like that? By turning our backs to an unchanging God we’ve let criminals, (theretofore regarded as a crime), now unpunishable, interpret our Constitution for us. This Supreme Court case paved the way, later in 1913, for Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act, which sealed our doom.

DEBT CURRENCY IS NOT CAPITALISM

In 1947 when it became obvious that the currency must collapse, your government created the CIA to delay the inevitable collapse.  The chaos around you is the death spasms of a system of greed.

You can find more information in my essay “Banks are the Enemy of Capitalism” http://NotFooledByGovernment.com/essays/banks-enemy-capitalism/

LICENSE

A license is permission to do something illegal. Licentiousness is for sale by your corrupt government.
Business has always been questionable. A peril to the soul.
The term “business” is used in many legal definitions, for example in the legal definition of “employee”, where it is the usury of labor.  Usury has always been a sin.  Usury is an abomination,  It is a curse upon the land, Isaiah 24:2-3.  In the U.S. up until 1694, accepting or paying interest was a punishable crime.
More information is on my essay about the changing definition of the word license  http://NotFooledByGovernment.com/driving/500-2/

People are destroyed for lack of knowledge.  Avoid, if possible, your indentured servitude to pay off the national debt.  Do not be deceived into waiving your rights by legalities that you don’t understand.

What you bound on earth will be bound in heaven. Matthew 18:18. Including the unpayable national debt usury and the “work of national importance” that you swore you would provide.

Why does Roe v. Wade remain so controversial?

by

by Steven D. Miller

Every January 22 the feminists rally in Washington to celebrate the anniversary of a Supreme Court decision that the liberals claim “grants rights” to feminists.  The more radicalized feminists believe that they have an absolute right to be an individual, and a baby deprives them of this absolute right.  They characterize their own baby as a parasite.

Government protects the most vulnerable humans from corporal assaults. You would not want it to be otherwise.

The nation’s founders represented the people. They called themselves “We The People,” They held the truth that all children were created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. That among those rights was the right to life. That to secure this right, governments are instituted among men. They said that one purpose of government was to secure the blessings of liberty to their posterity. Men defend their families. That is why we created government.

“Pro-Choice” means “Anti-Consequences”. The first sentence of the Declaration of Independence says it is the Laws of Nature that entitle the United States to exist. To petition government for redress of the Laws of Nature is to ask government to deny its legitimacy.

Liberal wackos always want to be god* because they cannot tolerate a righteous God. They believe that governments grant rights, whereas governments can take away rights, not grant them.  The purpose of government is to protect pre-existing rights. Feminists like Susan B. Anthony, quoted below, all agreed that abortion was the crime of murder. The extremists ignore that government is entitled to execute murderers.

Why should this affect you ?

According to the Declaration of Independence, governments are instituted among men to secure the Creator-endowed rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  If the Supreme Court cannot protect the right to innocent life, how can they protect YOUR right to life?   Is your own right to life now subject to their “equal protection of the law”; equal to the rights of the innocent? OR has the purpose of government changed?  OR is there something that you are not being told?

Abortion is part of the planned destruction of America. Many people are fooled into thinking that abortion is legal, but they don’t bother to find out if this is true. Abortion is still murder of the innocent.

Americans have killed more than 56 million babies. (Source). Their blood cries out for justice. We kill about 3,000 American babies every day — about the same number of lives lost in the 9/11 terror attack.  Yet no one cries out for justice.  Source.

ROE V. WADE DID NOT LEGALIZE ABORTION.

Proof #1 – In the Roe v. Wade court case, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the abortion doctor, Dr. James Hubert Hallford remanded back to Texas for his punishment.  Read the case for yourself here.

Proof #2 – The court case Roe v. Wade was about Fourteenth Amendment due process privacy, NOT about abortion. The Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade found a way — through the Fourteenth Amendment* — to prohibit government snooping into the first trimester of a pregnancy. Government cannot snoop to find the crime of abortion during the first trimester. (Just as Murder — or any other crime — that is committed in the privacy of a closet has Constitutional protection against government snooping without a search warrant. But when the crime becomes known, it must be prosecuted.) Once government knows of a crime, they are required to prosecute. To state otherwise is to deny the very purpose of government.

*The Abortion privacy considered in Roe v. Wade is ONLY a Fourteenth Amendment right. (the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified after the Civil War to give federal benefits to the freed slaves who had no other means of support. Yet Roe was a white girl who had nothing to do with freed slaves.)

Proof #3 – The definition of Murder did not change.  Seven years after Roe v. Wade, Black’s Law Dictionary Fifth Edition was published.  It kept the traditional definition of the term murder to specifically include intentional killing of a fetus.

 

Proof #4 – Abortion (during the first trimester, if unreported to government prosecutors) was decriminalized, it was not legalized. Roe v. Wade was based on a precedence case that decriminalized (but did not legalize) family privacy.
The Supreme Court relied heavily on their prior decision in Griswold v. Connecticut* 381 U.S. 479, which decriminalized condom use by married couples. But that case only decriminalized, it did not legalize, condom use by married couples. *

*  In Griswold v. Connecticut 381 US 479, the Supreme Court determined that married couples can privately use condoms. But this was a 14th Amendment due process concern. And ONLY a due-process concern. It was not a Fourth Amendment privacy case. In fact, no one ever claimed that there was anything wrong with the written law. The only complaint was the way it was enforced. The argument being decided was “that the accessory statute as applied violated the Fourteenth Amendment.”

Proof #5 – The Supreme Court could not have taken the case if the facts were known. The entire case is based on fraud. Roe v. Wade was based on a lie. Miss Roe, whose real name was Norma McCorvey later confessed that she was NOT the victim of a rape by three men. She wanted Texas law to be changed to allow legal abortions of rape victims (which she was not). The Supreme Court will not take a case from someone not damaged by government (according to their Ashwander case).

Those who have overthrown one nation, under God, want you to believe that abortion was legalized, so that sex will have no consequences. Yet the LORD of the Bible invented sex with life and death consequences.

As you can see from the very limited scope of Roe v. Wade as a privacy case that clarified the Griswold decision “that the accessory statute as applied violated the Fourteenth Amendment.”  It should therefore not be surprising that the Supreme Court would also maintain the strict limits of the privacy scope. Which it has done:  

  • In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, 492 U.S. 490 (1989), The Supreme Court in Webster allowed for states to legislate in an aspect that had previously been thought to be forbidden under Roe v. Wade
  • In Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), The Supreme Court created the standards used by the Court in deciding any laws that restrict abortion. The ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey has allowed states to create and pass more laws that restrict access to abortion.

Innocent blood is on your hands if your Congressional representative authorized murder with your consent, on your behalf, in your name.

We kill 3,000 babies every day and no one seems to care. The 9-11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center didn’t even kill that many people.

GOVERNMENT ONCE PROTECTED RIGHTS OF THE UNBORN

International treaties already recognize abortion as genocide. The Genocide Treaty, 78 UNTS 277 defines the crime of genocide, in time of peace or in time of war, to include “… in whole or in part … measures taken to prevent births within the [ethnical, racial, or religious] group”.

And courts have ruled that an unborn fetus is sometimes a person for personal injury or wrongful death, and for other reasons (but not for 14th Amendment purposes).

Stem cell research cannot be funded with federal funds because it requires the destruction of a human embryo. Yet we kill full term babies during their birth while politicians say “they’re just temporarily alive anyway”.

When the prosecutors and politicians wink at the murders, then the very purpose of government is ignored.

Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 469-471.

In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”

Senator Obama, while debating an abortion bill that would recognize Constitutional rights of babies that survive a failed partial-birth abortion, insisted that they should be killed because “they’re just temporarily alive anyway”. What’s next? Now that your health care is to be decided by Obamacare — what will happen to you if you have a terminal prognosis? Are you “just temporarily alive anyway”?

GOVERNMENT ONCE DEFENDED THOSE WHO COULD NOT DEFEND THEMSELVES. It was one of the main reasons that we created a government. What better way to destroy America than to fool people into thinking that innocent lives cannot qualify for government protection? Yes, you too are “just temporarily alive anyway”.

TAX SUPPORTED ABORTION?

And now they go as far as taxing you to fund the crimes that they refuse to prosecute. If you pay 1040 income tax, then blood is on your hands.

That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.” — The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, vol. 2, p. 545

RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE

The unchanging God of the Bible promises to curse any nation that sheds innocent blood. What better way to destroy America than to fool us into thinking that abortion is legal? Can you sense that America is cursed? Can you hear the innocent blood screaming out to God?

Abstinence is required of Christians. 1st Corinthians 6:9 fornicators will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Bastards cannot enter the congregation of the Lord unto the tenth generation – Deuteronomy 23:2

Ritual Sacrifice of children

Throughout the history of pagan rituals, rulers in authority have “enjoyed” the authority to dominate and obliterate innocence.

Unfortunately 3000 innocent babies are killed EVERY DAY in America to satisfy the blood lusts of rulers-in-authority.  Pelosi and Biden and Pedosta all are Catholic. Hillary admired Margret Sanger. Search the internet for Podesta art collection and notice the similarities with Jeffery Dahmer’s photos of his murdered victims.

The 9-11 terrorist attack killed 3000 Americans and everybody thought it was an outrage. But these hypocrites cannot think that way. They insist that they are self-appointed gods. But they remain Whited Sepulchers.

THE LAW OF THE LAND concerning unborn

The common law remains in force until there are legislated “express words of nullity”. Here is the law of the land:

In Bouvier’s 1856 Law Dictionary we find:

IN VENTRE SA MERE. In his mother’s womb.
2. – 1. In law a child is for all beneficial purposes considered as born while in ventre sa mere. 5 T. R. 49; Co. Litt. 36; 1 P. Wms. 329; Civ. Code of Lo. art. 948. But a stranger can acquire no title by descent through a child in ventre sa mere, who is not subsequently born alive. See Birth; Dead Born.
3. – 2. Such a child is enabled to have an estate limited to his use. 1. Bl. Com. 130.
4. – 3. May have a distributive share of intestate property. 1 Ves. 81.
5. – 4. Is capable of taking a devise of lands. 2 Atk. 117; 1 Freem. 224, 298.
6. – 5. Takes under a marriage settlement a provision made for children living at the death of the father. 1 Ves. 85.
7. – 6. Is capable of taking a legacy, and is entitled to a share in a fund bequeathed to children under a general description, of “children,” or of “children living at the testator’s death.” 2 H. Bl. 399; 2 Bro. C. C. 320; S. C. 2 Ves. jr. 673; 1 Sim. & Stu. 181; 1 B. & P. 243; 5 T. R. 49. See, also, 1 Ves. sr. 85; Id. 111; 1 P. Wms. 244, 341; 2 Bro. C. C. 63; Amb. 708, 711; 1 Salk. 229; 2 P. Wms. 446; 2 Atk. 114; Pre. Ch. 50; 2 Vern. 710; 3 Ves. 486; 7 T. R. 100; 4 Ves. 322; Bac. Ab. Legacies, &c., A; 1 Rop. Leg. 52, 3; 5 Serg. & Rawle, 40.
8. – 7. May be appointed executor. Bac. Ab. Infancy, B.
9. – 8. A bill may be brought in its behalf, and the court will grant an injunction to stay waste. 2 Vern. 710 Pr. Ch. 50.
10. – 9. The mother, of a child in ventre sa mere may detain writings on its behalf. 2 Vern. 710.
11. – 10. May have a guardian assigned to it. 1 Bl. Com. 130.
12. – 11. The destruction of such a child is a high misdemeanor. 1 Bl. Com. 129, 130.
13. – 12. And the birth of a posthumous child amounts, in Pennsylvania, to the revocation of a will previously executed, so far as regards such child. 3 Binn. 498. See Coop. Just. 496. See, as to the law of Virginia on this subject, 3 Munf. 20. Vide Foetus.

In Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme court spent 3 pages saying that the term “person” used in the Fourteenth Amendment did not include the unborn. The word Person, as a legal term, comes from the Latin word personae which means “an actor’s mask”. People are not persons. Black’s Law Dictionary put it this way:

Notice that they are still considered to be children.

WOMEN’S RIGHTS?

When did the Women’s movement decide that abortion was a right?

  • Why do women who say they are standing on a proud tradition of civil rights advances, now deny the history of women’s rights?
  • How did the women’s rights movement evolve from Alice Paul’s statement “Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women.” to somehow conclude that abortion is now liberation?

Susan B. Anthony considered abortion to be child murder with two murderers, and anyone who promoted abortion to be thrice guilty of murder.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY wrote in her publication The Revolution July 8, 1869:

“Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!”

Also from Anthony’s newspaper, The Revolution, She recognized the need to “eradicate the most monstrous crime” of abortion from society: “When a woman destroys the life of her unborn child, it is a sign that, by education or circumstances, she has been greatly wronged.”

Elizabeth Cady Stanton: “When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.”

Alice Paul (the author of the original Equal Rights Amendment) said “Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women.”

Victoria Woodhull (America’s first female presidential candidate): “Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never think of murdering a child before its birth.”

Mattie Brinkerhoff. Matilda Gage. Emma Goldman. Sarah Norton. All of the founding feminists were against abortion.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD

There are 30 Planned Parenthood executives that make more than $200,000 a year. A few make more than $300,000 a year. Planned Parenthood gets over 400 million dollars each year from the federal government. Source.

Margaret Sanger was the founder of the organization that became Planned Parenthood. Her goal was sterilization of “genetically inferior races”. She said “the most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”

In her 1922 book Pivot of Civilization she called for the extermination of “weeds… overrunning the human garden”. And the segregation of “misfits, and the maladjusted”; and for the sterilization of “genetically inferior races.”

In her 1922 book entitled Women, Morality, and Birth Control, she wrote “Birth Control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.”

She proposed model legislation in her 1934 book Code to Stop Overproduction of Children that would have required “no woman shall have a legal right to bear a child without a permit … no permit shall be valid for more than one child.”

She coined the phrase “birth control” and she defined it as “the process of weeding out the unfit”

She often said, “all our problems are the result of overbreeding among the working class.”

In her magazine, Birth Control Review, contributor Lothrop Stoddard, who also served on Sanger’s board of directors, wrote in the article The Rising Tide of Color Against the White World that “We must resolutely oppose both Asiatic permeation of white race areas and Asiatic inundation of those non-white, but equally non-Asiatic regions…”

In her autobiography she singled out the Asiatic races “the incessant fertility of … millions spread like a plague.”

In 1939 she and Clarence Gamble made the proposal called Birth Control and the Negro, to help “the poorer areas … ” with birth control to “ease the financial load of caring for with public funds…. Children destined to become a burden to themselves, to their family, and ultimately to the nation.”

When the Nazi’s put her plans into practice she panicked and changed her rhetoric. The term “Birth Control” became “Family Planning”. The “unfit” and “dysgenic” became simply “the poor” and The American Birth Control League became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

After she thought that the past was safely buried, the founder of Planned Parenthood wrote to Gamble prior to her death in 1966 “We do not want word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”

Margret Sanger fundraising for her cause.

Hillary Clinton at the 2009 Planned Parenthood Honors Gala in Houston, Texas had this to say about Margaret Sanger:

I admire Margret Sanger enormously. Her courage, her tenacity, her vision …  I’m really in awe of her. There are a lot of lessons we can learn from her life, from the causes she launched and fought for and scarified for so greatly.”

Planned parenthood GENOCIDE is now paid for by your tax dollars.

SEX EDUCATION IS PLANNED PREGNANCY

Teenagers are now a commodity in a Billion dollar a year abortion industry.

When abortion providers go into a school to teach sex education their goal is to promote sexual activity hoping to sell abortions.

According to a Planned Parenting whistle-blower in the Washington Times letters to the editor April 20, 1997.

“Abortion is a skillfully managed product sold to frightened young women at a crisis time of her life. As abortion providers, we knew that any time we went into a school, the pregnancy rate was going to go up by 50 percent. We knew we could sell abortions to every single classroom, but we couldn’t just go in and say, ‘look, our goal is actually for you to have three to five abortions between the ages of 13 and 18’ No, no, we couldn’t do that. So we said, ‘you know these kids need to abstain and we know that, but they’re not going to abstain, so we must teach them how to have safe sex’… get them sexually active – get them on a method of birth control. ”

They deliberately prescribe a low-dose birth control pill with a high rate of pregnancy. When the teenager calls for counseling the counselors are “skillfully trained to overcome every objection”

BABY ROE

Roe of Roe v. Wade did not have an abortion. The fetus in the case that started it all has grown up into a pro-lifer.

Baby Roe was adopted out after her birth. She was attending college when Toby Hanft, who runs a San Francisco adoption search agency, tracked her down in 1989. She had no idea who her real family was. Imagine finding out that you were the one who caused the extermination of one-third of your generation.

Roe’s real name was Norma McCorvey. When she was told that her daughter had been located she said “I don’t want to hurt my child in any way.” She had already admitted that she lied in her battle to obtain a legal abortion. That’s right. The ruling that is still ripping America apart is based on a lie.

NO KIDDING
Calling human children kids is stupid.
It is not a coincidence that pagans call children kids.
A kid is a young goat. Young Goats are the only creatures that the Bible requires blood sacrifice for the sins of the people (Leviticus 16:15).
Satan’s disciples want you to lie, steal and kill.

EVERY CHILD IS A WANTED CHILD

Every State now has laws that allow desperate moms to abandon their newborn at “a safe haven” location.

Liberals are still playing god.

 

Did you voluntarily forfeit your rights?

by

We are all created equal.  “We The People” created a government and delegated to them the 18 things they would be authorized to do.  In turn, government authority controls their inferiors. Don’t volunteer to be inferior to your former equals.

Texas Supreme Court in Dallas v. Mitchell, 245 SW 944:

“The rights of the individual are not derived from governmental agencies, … or even from the Constitution, but they exist inherently in every man, and are merely reaffirmed in the Constitution and restricted only to the extent they have been voluntarily surrendered by the citizenship to the agencies of government.”

The U.S. Supreme Court in the Cruikshank case, 92 US at 551:

“It is the natural consequence of a citizenship which owes allegiance to two sovereignties, and claims protection from both. The citizen cannot complain, because he has voluntarily submitted himself to such a form of government.”

Your natural birth did NOT voluntarily submit yourself to the federal government. You voluntarily entered the federal government when you signed a federal form. You also have to be “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”. See Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94, for the extent to which you must be subject. (” not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to…“)

We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. That to secure those rights governments are instituted among men.

MYTH 1

Some people believe we must forfeit rights and freedoms to have a “civil and orderly” society. The social compact theory of government says we give up some rights when we enter society. Yet twenty-nine years after the Constitution was written, this theory was refuted by Thomas Jefferson when he warned about this emerging dangerous theory.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_compact:

“Social contract arguments typically posit that individuals have consented, either explicitly or tacitly, to surrender some of their freedoms and submit to the authority of the ruler or magistrate (or to the decision of a majority), in exchange for protection of their remaining rights.”

Thomas Jefferson was there and he never had such a thought:

“the idea is quite unfounded that on entering into society we give up any natural rights.” – Jefferson letter to F. W. Gilmer 1816.

Back in 1774 Jefferson wrote:

“These are our grievances, which we have thus laid before his Majesty, with that freedom of language and sentiment which becomes a free people, claiming their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.” Jefferson, Rights of British America, 1774, page 141.

Notice Jefferson’s word entering. You voluntarily enter society.  Lawyers* hinder your entering into the society of equals, just like it was in Luke 11:52.

For the sad story of how you volunteered into government, read my eBook The Citizen Cannot Complain.

MYTH 2

Some people believe that freedom is bad. They believe that they can somehow control danger by inventing in their own mind the “right” to decide which liberties others can, and cannot have.

True freedom removes that imagined “right” to control your liberty.

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
— Benjamin Franklin, November 11, 1755; Reply to the Governor.

* Whether it’s the high cost of lawyers’ fees or growing distrust of lawyers, there is a mounting trend these days for more people to fight without a lawyer.

The American Bar Association (ABA) reports:
• 60% of the public can’t afford a lawyer.
• 20% simply don’t want to spend the money.
• 50% just don’t trust lawyers!

Yet ½ of all court proceedings involve at least one pro-se party.

Too many pro-se people lose … needlessly!

Ever wonder why you were never taught anything about court procedure or the rules of evidence in your tax-supported schools?

Who benefits from your legal ignorance?

Did “We The People” delegate to the artificial entity they created an authority that we did not ourselves have? Have they given life to our graven image that it should both speak and demand reverence and to kill? Have they given the graven image a right to demand worship (such as salute, courtroom oaths, perjury oaths)? Have they given the graven image a right to issue credentials so that all might receive a mark?

Are we living in a computer simulation?

by

The 1999 movie The Matrix portrays life as a computer simulation where people are serving the global machinery by having their life’s energy sapped from them in exchange for the benefits of illusion.  Don’t dismiss this as fiction.

Digital Consciousness: A Transformative Vision by Jim Elvidge

“A new provocative view of the true nature of reality… have you ever felt that there was something odd about the world we live in? like there is something about reality that isn’t quite random, as it should be? something a little too organized, a little too planned, a little too programmed?”

“… the book that will change the way you look at your world, your life, your family and friends, and the computer on your desk…”

Our reality is not what it appears to be, according to Jim Elvidge. The latest physics experiments demonstrate that an objective reality does not exist. Elvidge explains interconnectedness, anomalous events, and how a different view of reality makes anomalous experiences possible. Elvidge states that the search for an ultimate reality has been around since at least the time of the ancient Greeks, when Plato proposed that the world we experience is like shadows on a cave wall. He points out that there is “something there when we are not looking at it”. Everyone sees things a little differently, and when this gets to the quantum level, the degree that something can be precisely predicted disappears.

Elvidge does not believe (like physicist Nick Bostrum) that we are living in a vast computer simulation. His theory is that our “apparent physical reality” is something that was invented by some sort of vast or universal consciousness that is continually evolving to give all beings the chance to “learn and experience time.”  He believes that this theory of the universe matches well with ancient spiritual traditions as well as quantum physics. Elvidge refers to our experience on this planet and throughout or lives as the “reality learning lab” which consists of the interactions of our consciousness with others and with the universal mind.

He says his model fits well with explanations for many “paranormal issues” that are present, but do not follow the rules of physics as we know them.

 

Obamacare constitutionality?

Obamacare constitutionality?

The Affordable Care Act was recently declared unconstitutional in a Texas court.

Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber defended his healthcare bill after it had been ruled unconstitutional by a Texas federal judge.  In a CNN appearance 12/15/2018, Obamacare architect Gruber, who said in 2013 that Obamacare’s passage depended on the “stupidity of the American voter,” now claims the US Supreme Court will not understand the Constitution.  He said “The Supreme Court clearly does not represent the constitutional expertise of the broad Senate constitutional experts, …” (source).   Gruber also told us in 2013 that “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage.” in passing of the Obamacare law.

In 2012 The Supreme Court declared that Obamacare was constitutional as a tax. (National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius).  Because it was a tax.     This is very similar to why Social Security is also valid as a tax.  For the long sad story on SS, read my essay Things The Government Forgot to tell you about Social Security.

Here are my notes on Socialized Health Care.

Forced health care is not insurance. Socialized medicine is not health care. Don’t be fooled by a government created health care crisis.

Socialized medicine cannot work. It has already reduced America’s infant survival rate to 35th in the world (38th on the UN list) and American’s life expectancy to 31st.  And childbirth deaths of American moms have reduced our survival rate to 46th in the world.  Our downfall started in 1986 when Congress passed the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act to force hospitals to give away their best services.

Government has a right to regulate what it funds. This gives them jurisdiction.  Once you volunteer to receive government regulated health care, they have the authority to limit what they fund.  Government health care is voluntary — you can still get private health care or private insurance.  If you think others should be forced to pay for your problems, then you just might get what you deserve.  Limited resources must be rationed. Socialism cannot recognize individual rights.

Socialized medicine will only bring the same misery that exists in every country that tries it. For example:

  • in Britain, 6% of the people end up pulling their own teeth.
  • In Canada, it takes 6 months to a year to get a MRI scan while your aggressive tumor is growing, and until the scan confirms your “tentative diagnosis” you cannot get onto another long waiting list for treatment.
  • Britain has socialized health care. Hospitals make millions euthanizing patients. Link.  Their Doctors can even add the words “without consent” to Do-Not-Resuscitate orders.  Link.
  • The document Shattered Lives has one hundred horror stories of the misery promised by socialized health care in Britain, Canada, Australia, Japan, Sweden and New Zealand.
  • Hitler was a socialist. He had a solution for useless eaters.
  • China has death vans. 24 death vans in every big city. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1165416/Chinas-hi-tech-death-van-criminals-executed-organs-sold-black-market.html
PARTICIPATION WITH SOCIALISM: IS IT MANDATORY?
  • Invito beneficium non datur. No one is obliged to accept a benefit against his consent.
  • Omnes licentiam habere his quae pro se indulta sunt, renunciare. All persons shall have liberty to renounce those privileges which have been conferred for their benefit.
  • Amish will never get insurance because it is proof that you don’t trust God.
  • Obamacare is not mandatory. Federal Law Title 42 USC § 18115 – Freedom not to participate in Federal health insurance programs.

The U.S. Supreme Court determined:

“The underlying basis for the doctrine of informed consent is a patient’s right of self-determination, the right to intelligently decide whether to choose or decline a particular medical procedure. — Union Pacific Railway Co. v. Botsford, 141 U.S. 250, 251, 11 S.Ct. 1000, 1001, 35 L.Ed. 734, (1891) and Acuna v. Turkish, 192 N.J. 399, 414, 930 A.2d 416 (2007)

Don’t volunteer. The nice men in the white lab coats might take you to the Obamacare death panel.

HISTORY

Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, during the Constitutional debates in 1787:

The Constitution of this Republic should make special provision for medical freedom. To restrict the art of healing to one class will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic. … Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship and force people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what the dictating outfit offers.”

President Franklin Pierce in 1854 vetoed our nation’s first health care bill — a bill to help the mentally ill. His veto said

“I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity…. [this] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.”

And Congress cannot impose health care costs on employers according to the US Supreme Court in Railroad Retirement Board v. Alton Railroad Co. 295 U.S. 330:

“The catalog of means and actions which might be imposed upon an employer in any business, tending to the satisfaction and comfort of his employees, seems endless. Provision for free medical attendance, nursing, clothing, food, housing, and education of children, and a hundred other matters might with equal propriety by proposed as tending to relieve the employee of mental strain and worry. Can it fairly be said that the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce extends to the prescription of any or all of these things? Is it not apparent that they are really and essentially related solely to the social welfare of the worker, and therefore remote from any regulation of commerce as such? We think the answer is plain. These matters obviously lie outside the orbit of congressional power.” [May 6, 1935]

If health care costs are out of control, it is because Congress wanted the problems. Hospitals are forced to give away their best services to people who will not pay. You end up paying. This is outright socialism. Government interference with health care is part of the planned destruction of America.

The problems caused by too much government interference are not a logical excuse to demand more government interference.

The Affordable Care Act is a scam.
  • It cuts $580 Billion out of Medicare.
  • It adds 20 Million new patients into Medicaid.
  • 21 percent of our gross domestic product will be spent on health care by 2020. Just imagine spending 21% of your wages on other people’s health care.

Why were you swindled into paying for a phony health care scam just because health may be a necessity of life? Food is also a necessity of life, but congress does not yet force the best restaurants to give away their food to those who will not pay for it.  Just imagine what the menu prices would be. It is the same with the health care free market. Welcome to the hospital menu of $19 aspirins and $30 band aids.

Expanding Medicare to everyone is not a solution. Medicare has never controlled costs, other than restricting what doctors can charge.

How can you live in a free country if others get to decide what medicines you can take to save your life?  Who owns you?  If you want to become property of the government, then don’t force me to join you.

The obvious cure to the cost problem is to deregulate health care. Then keep deregulating until hospitals charge two cents per aspirin and a nickel for a band-aid. Then deregulate some more until doctors are paid better than lawyers.

The Model Health Law enacted by most states has already assumed that you will have no rights during a pandemic, but the proposed health care bill will only increase the risks of pandemic. For a glimpse at how your rights disappeared, read the Model Health legislation  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_State_Emergency_Health_Powers_Act   http://publichealthlaw.net/MSEHPA/MSEHPA.pdf

The United States ALREADY has the highest health care costs per capita of any nation by far ($9,800 per person). Yet, the United States ranks 31st in life expectancy. Yes, there is a problem. The problem is too much government involvement in health care.

Health care costs are high for the very same reason that Hospitals must charge $19 for an aspirin and $30 for a band-aid. It is because government has been interfering with the free market.

In a free market, Supply and demand determine price. When the price is free, demand skyrockets to epidemic proportions. This is just as would be expected by basic economics. Example: Medicaid pays for preventative health care for the poor. But instead of staying out of hospitals, Medicaid recipients are also the most frequent Hospital Emergency Room users. They show up for aspirins and band-aids and other minor non-problems and the mandatory paperwork takes up 20 more minutes of the doctor’s time. And malpractice insurance (tort lawyers) drive up the costs that must be passed along to you.

In the meantime, Amish will not seek medical help until the final hours of someone’s life. But they still want to die at home. And why should they pay to support your greed addiction?  They have no right to covet thy neighbor’s wealth, and neither do you.

The Amish will not take benefits. Not even Social Security. To them, taking benefits is proof that you do not trust God (Mark 11:24, Philippians 4:19, etc). Why is it that the Americans who still believe in the motto of the United States — In God We Trust — are the Americans who will never use the health care that the forces them to purchase? Again: why should they pay to support your greed addiction? Corban (Roman system of forced welfare contributions) nullifies the word of God according to Mark 7:11-13.

Why do your lazy obese smokers already receive more expensive health care then every other person on the planet yet end up lowering our life expectancy to 31st in the world? Answer: It is because Congress wants it that way.

In fact, Government provided health care is not constitutional except for battlefield injuries and for prisoners and for a few other indigent wards (by the way, care for the indigent is a State function, not federal). Even health care for on-the-job injuries of workers remains unconstitutional. Read what the Supreme Court said in Railroad Retirement Board v. Alton Railroad Co. 295 U.S. 330, quoted above.

Lazy obese smokers demand that congress force you to pay for their care. As well as others who keep risking AIDS, and diabetes, and hepatitis. And drug pushers who trick taxpayers — that’s you — into paying for the drugs they will resell. You wanted socialized medicine now you get what you wanted.

And, why must we entice pregnant foreigners to have their children here at your expense?

Insurance is for catastrophic loss. NOT for routine expenses. Your car insurance doesn’t pay for gasoline, or tires, or oil changes, or brakes or batteries. Your home insurance doesn’t pay for water, electricity, painting, plumbing repairs or even window replacement. They charge reasonable premiums. There is no created crisis in these free markets. Why would you expect health insurance to pay for routine expenses?

Shelter is also a necessity of life, but government does not yet force landlords and hotels to give this necessity of life to those who will not pay.   (Housing is a necessity of life according to the Supreme Court Shapiro v. Thompson, 394 U.S. 618 and Dandridge v. Williams, 397 U.S. 471, etc.)

If congress were to force fire insurance companies to issue a fire policy while a house is burning down, then nobody will bother to spend their money on insurance premiums until their house is burning. If they did, then premiums would be higher than the average fire damage. Fire insurance does not pay for pre-existing conditions, why would you expect health insurance to pay for pre-existing conditions?

Just imagine what would happen if congress forced malpractice insurance to cover pre-existing malpractice.

Those who have overthrown America will not let the free market work for health insurance. They want you to pay higher premiums so smokers can continue to smoke, and heroin addicts can continue to share drug needles. Now they want to throw you into a risk pool of HIV fluids.

If you want congress to force taxpayers to pay for other people’s routine health expenses, then you will get what you want. But don’t complain about the consequences.

Tort reform is not even in the Health Care law. The United States has 94% of the world’s lawsuits to bleed us dry. Courts grant damage awards in frivolous lawsuits if a doctor didn’t conduct a test for some rare disorder that no reasonable doctor would have suspected. This increases their insurance to the point where fear of lawyers forces them to now provide extraordinary testing and treatment for everything.

Even with artificially inflated health care costs in an era of $19 aspirin and $30 band-aids, there is no reason health care insurance should exceed $5 a day. There are several faith-based health care risk-sharing programs where people voluntarily pay one another’s medical bills (but only bills that are over the $300 limit that they consider to be a routine expense, and they exclude pre-existing conditions). What a concept: Charity and compassion for neighbor, instead of brutal taxation and fear of tax seizures.

http://www.mutualassurance.org

And charitable care is available from free clinics http://www.freeclinics.us/freeclinic.php

The Amish don’t have a health care crisis. And they certainly don’t have the financial means to participate in the problems that your congress created.

All of our out-of-control costs are caused by government. Why keep asking for more? At first it was drug purity laws in the 1920s, then mandatory prescriptions to keep you from treating yourself, then forcing doctors into time consuming paperwork, then rewarding ambulance chasing lawyers with enormous judgments to be paid by malpractice insurance when doctors opt for easy bankruptcy. This forces ever-higher insurance premiums to be paid by the rest of us. Making treatment information illegal — it is illegal if I tell you that Vitamin C cures scurvy — It is illegal if I tell you that drinking a glass of water can prevent dehydration. Imposing onerous regulations, harsh residency requirements, limiting what doctors can charge for treating Medicare patients. Forcing good doctors away and discouraging students from ever becoming doctors. Forcing hospitals to give away their best care to those who don’t need it, welcoming Medicaid parasites into Hospital Emergency Rooms for aspirins and band-aids that they don’t need (perhaps I exaggerate, but not by much). Childhood asthma has doubled in recent years despite much cleaner air (likely caused by automobile catalytic converters forced on us by you-know-who). Autism, ADHD, SIDS, allergies, asthma, auto-immune problems, behavioral violence, and seizures are increasing. Adolescent suicide caused by withdrawal from psychiatric prescriptions is a known problem. We have higher breast cancer rates than third world countries that have dreadful pollution problems. FOR CHILDREN UNDER 5 years old: one-in-25 had chronic illness in 1972. This is now one-in-six. FOR CHILDREN 6 TO 15 years old: one-in-32 had chronic illness in 1972. This is now one-in-five. And artificial sweeteners are another cause of chronic problems, even though they are government approved. Instead of telling your civil servants to back off, why are you demanding they worsen the problems they caused?

In December 2009 the CDC reported that autism disorders increased 57% in four years. It said that at the end of 2006 one in 70 boys and one in 315 girls were diagnosed with an autism disorder. The March 2014 CDC report shows autism disorders increased 30% in two years. The 2014 report shows autism one in 42 boys, and one in 189 girls. Spot the trend.

Why not ask for less government in a nation that is yearning to breathe free?

LEGISLATION

The recent health care “reform” compels a NATIONAL ID CARD.  They have every right to tag their own property.

The IRS now has 17 Obamacare enforcement functions.

You no longer have the right to pay to talk to a doctor. You must first seek a medical assistant who will determine the lowest cost path to your health care ration.

Doctors who want to do no harm will now be forced to administer a minimal “standard of care” regardless of side affects, rather than take a more cautious approach.

The home visit program seems to be voluntary for now, but the law allows the Health Secretary to require each State to provide a definition. Be prepared for forcible entry — which is what they already do with children of religious objectors.

What is next? Fines for poor diets, fines for improper bath mats, fines for improper hot-water temperature and what about helmets for joggers, and extra taxes for child sports teams that have a history of injury? And starvation camps for the obese could be the new “compelling government interest.”

I want to again quote Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, during the Constitutional debates in 1787:

“The Constitution of this Republic should make special provision for medical freedom. To restrict the art of healing to one class will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic. … Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship and force people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what the dictating outfit offers.”

WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS

Constitutionally guaranteed rights are “susceptible to restriction only to prevent grave and immediate danger to interests which the state may lawfully protect”. This phrase was used in many Supreme Court decisions to protect your rights.

The Supreme Court in 1905 determined that public health measures DO NOT trump your rights. A law textbook, Cooley’s Constitutional Limitations, 8th Edition, page 1229 quotes the Supreme Court’s Jacobson 197 US 11 decision (which upheld a $5 fine for Mr. Jacobson’s refusing a vaccine during a quarantined outbreak) as proof that “The police power is not supreme and is not unlimited. It is subject to the limitations imposed by the Federal Constitution upon every power of government. It will not be suffered to invade or impair the fundamental liberties of the citizen”.

Here are some of your rights that you so eagerly gave away:

“no right is held more sacred, or is more carefully guarded, by the common law, than the right of every individual to the possession and control of his own person.” — Union Pacific Railway v. Botsford, 141 U.S. 250, 251 (1891)

“Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body; and a surgeon who performs an operation without his patient’s consent commits an assault, for which he is liable in damages. This is true except in cases of emergency where the patient is unconscious and where it is necessary to operate before consent can be obtained.” — Schloendorff v. Society of New York Hosp., 211 N.Y. 125, 219, 105 N.E. 92, 93 (1914)

“The root premise jurisprudentially is that ‘[e]very human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body’.” — Karp v. Cooley, 493 F.2d 408, 419 (5th Cir. 1974)

“The right to refuse medical treatment is deeply rooted in our common law. This right to bodily integrity was recognized by the United States Supreme Court over a century ago when it proclaimed ‘no right is held more sacred, or is more carefully guarded, by the common law, than the right of every individual to the possession and control of his own person. . . . ‘ — In re Duran, 2001 PA Super 52, 769 A.2d 497 (2001)

“The underlying basis for the doctrine of informed consent is a patient’s right of self-determination, the right to intelligently decide whether to choose or decline a particular medical procedure. — Union Pacific Railway v. Botsford, 141 U.S. 250, 251 (1891) and Acuna v. Turkish, 192 N.J. 399, 414, 930 A.2d 416 (2007)

Government has a right to regulate what is subsidizes (1942, Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111). Once government can determine your health care, then they have rights to your body. Once there is a compelling government interest in your health, then the government is allowed to use whatever police powers are needed to ignore your rights and accomplish their objectives.

Did the Obama appointment of Health czar Sunstein further their goal of “routine removal” of body parts from the living? According to an article on WND he believes that the government legally owns your body:

President Obama’s Health czar defended the possibility of removing organs from terminally ill without their permission. In his 2008 book, “Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness,” Sunstein and co-author Richard Thaler discussed multiple legal scenarios regarding organ donation. One possibility presented in the book, termed by Sunstein as “routine removal,” posits that “the state owns the rights to body parts of people who are dead or in certain hopeless conditions, and it can remove their organs without asking anyone’s permission.”

“Though it may sound grotesque, routine removal is not impossible to defend,” wrote Sunstein. “In theory, it would save lives…”

Is this the health reform that you wanted?

Are you sure that you want to throw away your rights to your body?

And there was NOTHING in the health care law about Tort Reform, which is one reason we already have the highest health care costs in the world.

WHY?

Why welcome Socialism? Just like any bully, the collectivists gang up and demand your money. — At least the bully’s once gave you a choice of “your money or your life”. Now the Fascists want both.

Remember that your benefactors get to control you. Health care will be rationed. It is a fact of life that those who pay the bills get to make the rules. Christ told his disciples in Luke 22:25 that benefactors will exercise authority over us. He also said that Corban (the Roman system of forced welfare contributions) nullifies the word of God.

And 2000 years ago Plutarch said

“It is truly said that the first destroyer of the liberties of a people is he who gave them bounties and largesse. ”

Or as Blackstone so eloquently stated in the introduction to his law books: “a state of dependence will inevitably oblige the inferior to take the will of him, on whom he depends, as the rule of his conduct “

The health care bill controls more than health care. You have already accepted seat belt laws (which had nothing to do with safety — school buses still don’t have belts). Soon it will be jail time for tobacco users, and a ban on fried food, forcible injections of the latest vaccine, prescriptions for aspirin, and starvation camps for the obese. If you allow these, what next? Then they will want in-home safety inspections, and proof that you are eating a government approved diet. Be careful what you wish for.

Why not wish for a free nation?

A government large enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.

Busser v. Snyder, 37 American Law Review (ALR) 1515:

“An Old Age Assistance Law is prohibited by a constitutional provision that no appropriation shall be made for charitable or benevolent purposes to any person.”

Why I am not a Constitutionalist

by

I once believed that our national problems could be solved by showing government officials the Constitution that they are sworn to uphold.  I am no longer a Constitutionalist.

I have repented from such a belief. Here are my reasons:
  • The signers of the constitution had no authority to sign it. Or to create a government. Or to violate the Articles of Confederation.
  • People are not a party to the Constitution. “We The States” created their creature. Our elected representatives had nothing to do with it. We are not responsible for controlling what others created.  Long after the Constitution was ratified the Georgia Supreme Court ruled in Padelford, Fay & Co. v. Mayor and Aldermen of City of Savannah (14 Ga. 438, in 1854): “No private person has a right to complain by suit in court on the ground of a breach of the United States constitution; for, though the constitution is a compact, he is not a party to it.”
  • The Constitutional Convention was convened under the Articles of Confederation. But the articles of Confederation Article XIII require unanimous ratification. There is no authority for the idea that three-fourths of the States can gang up and force other states into their “Supreme Law” that judges in every state would be thereby.
  • Under our Constitution, in 1798, Thomas Jefferson reassured the people of Kentucky that state inhabitants are subject only to three federal laws. The three crimes mentioned in the Constitution: piracy, treason and counterfeiting –“and no other crimes whatever”. (link) Are you subject to only three federal laws?

That’s right. Once you voluntarily submit yourself to federal laws, you cannot complain.
Once you consent to be governed, you have no standing in any court to redress grievance.

Biblical reasons:
  • The Bible requires standard weights and measures. (Leviticus 19:36 & Deuteronomy 25:13). How standard is our dollar? Our dollar is worth 2% of what it was in 1964.
  • We did not have a central government for the first ten books of the Bible. It is prohibited for a freeman to have a covering other than the Lord.  Having a central government is irresponsible.  It is your duty to manage your own affairs.  Electing or obeying a manmade (graven) lord is mutiny against legitimate authority, just like we were told in Romans 13.
  • In the Bible, it is evil to elect a King. First Samuel 12:17. The Bible warns against electing a King. The LORD Himself warned you in First Samuel 8:5-17 that your elected king will tax, tax and tax until you cannot stand it (and back then it was just 10%). Then, when society wants God back into their life, God will not answer your prayers (God honored your free-will, you got what you wanted, stop complaining). First Samuel 8:18 “And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the LORD will not hear you in that day.”
  • The Bible prohibits treaties with pagan nations. Exodus 23:32.
  • The Bible prohibits a census. I wrote a book about this.
  • The Bible prohibits people from being sureties for debts (Proverbs 22:26) and yet we find your representatives, acting on your behalf, and in your name, binding you to pay the national debt.  Your representatives borrowed from the future to give you the benefits you wanted.  Your children are indentured to pay your debt.  Your covetousness practices cursed your children, just as you were warned in Second Peter chapter 2.
The whole Constitution thing is a scam.

The scam was to force you to pay the debts of the Revolutionary War.

The Constitutional Convention was convened under the Articles of Confederation in order to reorganize the national debt (the 18 million Livra that we borrowed ) for the purpose of getting enough taxing authority to satisfy the creditor.   — By the way, the note was signed by Ben Franklin with his British title ESQ.

Congress, under the Articles of Confederation, authorized Ben Franklin to borrow 18 million Livra from the French. He signed the note on July 16, 1782. The loan was due on January 1, 1788. When it became obvious that the note could not be paid, a Constitutional Convention was held to reorganize the bankruptcy. Did your government schools tell you this? Now read the first sentence of Article 6. We are still repaying that loan, which is why you are subject to the IRS which is run by your foreign benefactors.

The Constitutional Convention, which was held to amend the Articles of Confederation, prepared a Constitution that would be established when three-fourths of the states ratified it. Thereby forcing the non-consenting states to adapt a form of government against their will. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear any case that would question its own legitimacy in cases that were raised by learned jurists throughout the history of your once great nation. To study this issue, start with Clark’s Summary of American Law, Volume 1, Constitutional Law, page 465.

The Treaty of Paris, 1783, allows the United States to exist, yet King George claimed that he was retaining title over the Holy Roman Empire and the United States of America as Arch-Treasurer and Prince Elector. The very authority that allows the United States to exist, perpetuates the notion that Kings rule by divine right, and also retains the authority over “your” treasury for the Holy Roman Empire. If you claim that the U.S. has won its independence, then you are acknowledging the legitimacy of rest of the Treaty.  Perhaps you can now understand why your Constitution was pushed on you, and why feudal tenure still applies, and why your U.S. Government is in no way founded upon the Christian religion. And indeed, to this very day, “your” Department of the Treasury is not part of your U.S. Government.*

On July 16, 1782 The North American Colonies entered into a Contract for the Guarantee of the re-payment of the 18 million lires entitled Contract Between the King and the Thirteen United States of North America http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_…

Then they signed the The Definitive Treaty of Peace 1783 http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_…

Under Article 4 it states: “It is agreed that creditors on either side shall meet with no lawful impediment to the recovery of the full value in sterling money of all bona fide debts heretofore contracted.”

The Constitutional Convention was convened under the Articles of Confederation to restructure the debt payment.  If you became a federal citizen (by applying for a Social Security Number) then you are the collateral.

You consented — “striketh hands” Proverbs 22:26 and agreed to pay for the national debt. This is done by your own testimony. If you are employed through the federal government’s wage authorization number, then you have agreed to be the Human Resource.  Estopple prevents you from complaining about what you agreed to.  Furthermore, if you signed a federal form under penalty-of-perjury-oath then you agreed to be inferior to the graven image created by others.  One only swears an oath to a superior according to Hebrews 6:16. You deny that we are all created equal.  You ignore the warning in James 5:12 and deliberately condemn yourself.

* Don’t confuse the “U.S. Treasury”, which has the Mint, with the “Department of the Treasury” that has the IRS.

  • Title 31 U.S. Code chapter 3 does not list the IRS as a part of the U.S. Treasury.  (Note that the Government Printing Office no longer prints chapter 3 with the rest of the regulations)
  • The IRS is not an agency of the U.S. Government. (Proof#1 — the commissioner “story” is easily debunked), (Proof#2 — see response 4)
  • The IRS payroll is not paid by the Treasury, it is paid by the Department of Agriculture (see next paragraph).
  • Pursuant to Treasury Delegation Order number 92, the IRS is trained under the direction of the United Nations Division of Human Resources.
  • Executive Order 10422. The Office of Personnel Management is under the direction of the Secretary of the United Nations. Pursuant to Treasury Delegation Order number 91, the IRS entered into a Service Agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department (see Public Law 94-564 and its Legislative History page 5967) to service the Reorganization Plan for the Agency for International Development.
  • The IRS is an also an agency of INTERPOL. 22 U.S.C. §263a. The memorandum of understanding is between the Secretary of the Treasury and the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. They pay the IRS.

You may also be interested in how government regulated agriculture belongs to foreigners and why the IRS payroll is paid by the Department of Agriculture. See my essay From whom do the kings of the earth exact tribute, Item 10

Something is fishy in the U.S. fishing industry

by

by Steven D. Miller

America’s Pacific Northwest was famous for two industries.  The fishing industry and the Timber industry.  Both industries have been destroyed.

Join me in pondering the government deceptions that enslave us.

FISHING INDUSTRY

Seattle’s fishing industry has been decimated.

As it is with other food producers, U.S. governmental regulations, trade restrictions and taxes are forcing American fishermen out of business and encouraging foreign control of our food supply. Then they regulate foods to force us into political extortion.

http://notfooledbygovernment.com/something-is-fishy-in-the-united-states/
Very Fishy laws imposed on America

Of all the food imports into America, we spend more on foreign fish than any other food import category. We are paying $Two Billion, with a B, dollars a month to foreigners who fish for us. (Source, see exhibit 7)   We could be paying better than average fishing wages to almost a million Americans.

America is under increasingly stringent foreign control. Communists must control the means of production. Just like it was for those who lived under Joseph Stalin, Communists will soon ration our food.

A federal law prevents our fishermen from appealing federal regulations in federal courts. This law was codified in Title 15 U.S. Code section 522, but the codified version fails to mention any reference to the law’s words “producers of aquatic products”. They don’t want you to find it.

But courts are required to enforce it. Federal Rules of Evidence rule 1101(e) once stipulated how the rules of evidence apply.

(e) Rules applicable in part.—In the following proceedings these
rules apply to the extent that matters of evidence are not provided
for in the statutes which govern procedure therein or in
other rules prescribed by the Supreme Court pursuant to statutory
authority: …;
review of orders of the Secretary of the Interior under section 2 of
the Act entitled ‘‘An Act authorizing associations of producers of
aquatic products’’ approved June 25, 1934 (15 U.S.C. 522)

By the way, 1934 was the year FDR socialists started all those farm subsidies. It was the year after they confiscated our gold coins. It was two years after Congress changed our national anthem to one that does not mention God. Another hint — It was three years after Washington State made the bar association an agency of the State.

That’s right! Fishermen cannot appeal to Federal Courts any administrative order that prohibits their marketing or lobbying attempts to do anything about this foreign takeover. Without this law, the proponent of a rule would have the burden of proof according to Title 5, U.S. Code section 556d.

The new 2016 Rules of Evidence rule 1101(e) now only states:

(e) Other Statutes and Rules. A federal statute or a rule prescribed by the Supreme Court may provide for admitting or excluding evidence independently from these rules.”

They don’t want you to find out.

ENVIRONMENTALISTS

The Pacific Northwest had two traditional industries. The Salmon fishing and the timber industry have sustained the region for decades.

Environmentalists have now re-categorized fish. Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) is no longer a salmon, it’s now a trout. Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) is no longer a trout, it’s now a char. Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is no longer a trout. It is now a salmon.

The environmentalists keep interfering with everything.  Here are some other examples: First they shut down the timber industry around Seattle with their Spotted Owl theory. Then they defined a wetland habitat as any puddle that lasts for 6 weeks. Even if it is a stormwater retention pond that they required. Then they demanded that the federal agencies regulate their beloved wetlands, authorized only by a law that allows federal government to regulate oil pollution on navigable waters. (The official regulation, which is not even a law passed by Congress, calls a wetland “Waters of the United States” at Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations, section 122.2).  Now bureaucrats have interpreted their regulation to include: Controlling stormwater runoff, or not controlling stormwater runoff. Using well water, or not using well water. Casting a shadow onto a wetland, or removing a shadow. Etc. Then they petition courts to put a 100 foot buffer area around any pond scum “habitat”. Then courts say that prohibiting someone from entering 95% of their own land does not qualify for just compensation under the Fifth Amendment.

Prior to 1985 there were no Caspian Terns (a bird) nesting near the Columbia River.  Then the federal government built Rice Island in the Columbia River and declared the Caspian Tern to be a federally protected bird.  Now these birds eat 15 million young salmon every year as they migrate toward the Pacific Ocean.  Some salmon are now threatened species. And now Orca whales are starving and the eagle population is down, and fishing season is severely limited. Oh my, what could the problem be? (They blame global climate change.)

And since environmental regulations require most seafood to now be imported, guess what happens when you import Lobster tails, while obeying all known laws. You go to prison . This was also mentioned in John Stossel’s video Everything is Illegal.

If they can regulate hard working fishermen out of business, they can do it to you. Just like they forced family farmers out of business. Just like they forced factories out of the country.  Speak up now while you have a chance. Communism must have government control of the means of production. They already control most of your food supplies and your congress.

Foreign ownership of U.S. farms has skyrocketed in the past two years. Because we are no longer allowed to take care of ourselves, the U.S. has now become the world’s largest debtor. China is our largest creditor, and  China will start rationing our food as I mention in my post on Farmer Bill Gates.

“Like fish taken in a cruel net … So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.” — Ecclesiastes 9:12

Freedom in America

by

On July Fourth we celebrate the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and we proclaim America to be free.  The U.S. Constitution secured to their posterity YOUR blessings of liberty.

Yet today’s Millennials are demanding that we have fewer rights. Ben Franklin had a message for them.

Here is a Ben Franklin quote inscribed on a plaque in the stairwell of the Statue of Liberty:

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

If you demand that government protect your safety, you will lose your freedom.  Are you still free? Rights only come with responsibilities.  You are responsible for your own safety.  Those who are irresponsible lose their rights.  Every Law Dictionary will tell you “The civil laws reduce an ungrateful freedman to his original slavery” Libertinum ingratum leges civiles in pristinam servitutem redigunt.

The Declaration of Independence used the phrase we “are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights” to refer to our God-given rights that government is instituted among men to secure.
God gave us a free will to make our own decisions.
Just how free are we to make our own decisions?

Can you grow your front lawn to any height you want?  Can you flush your toilet with more than 1.6 gallons, or buy a 60 Watt light bulb, or did someone else make these decisions for you?

The Constitution prohibits States from impairing the obligation of contracts. Can you sell lemonade from your own front lawn without begging for a permit and paying a fee?

Your great-grandfather blasted through mountains without permits to build a railroad from sea to shining sea. They lived in a nation that secured the blessings of liberty to their posterity. Can you repair your back porch without begging for a permit?

In 1753 the world knew that eating citrus fruit prevented scurvy.  In the U.S. today, it is illegal for me to tell you that eating citrus will prevent scurvy.  It is illegal for me to tell you that drinking water will prevent dehydration. When the U.S. Constitution was written, everyone knew that they had a right to buy medications to defend against corporal assaults.  It was the right of self-defense.

In 1919 everyone in America knew that it would take a constitutional amendment to ban a substance. That was here in America where Coca-Cola once had cocaine and you could buy Opium from the Sears Catalog and you could buy dynamite from the hardware store.  What about now?  Can you buy a life-saving medication without begging permission from a government-supervised pharmacist and a government regulated physician?  There was ONLY one drug law when the United States became a country.  Slaves needed their owners permission to take medications.  The Constitution changed this.  The Constitution prohibited slave owners from controlling their slaves’ medications.  Slave rights had been “wholly annihilated, or reduced to a shadow” and the Constitution changed this.*  Have your rights been “wholly annihilated, or reduced to a shadow”?  If so then you are a slave.

The Supreme Court says that your labor is your most sacred property. Can you sell your labor without a wage authorization number? Can you buy or sell in normal transactions without a banking authorization number?

Government was created to secure the blessings of liberty. The right to personal liberty is defined as the right to unrestrained locomotion. Yet today you can be arrested for being on a sidewalk without first purchasing a credential from a government.

The Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional for Nevada to tax stagecoach passengers leaving the state. You can no longer buy a ticket for an airline, train or Greyhound bus without presenting an ID (travel permit) issued by a government. You must first apply for and pay for the government credential to travel.

Don’t claim to live in a free country until you see freedom.
