Can democracy coexist with capitalism?
Originally answered Jan 28, 2019 by Steven Miller

Democracy can never survive.

Capitalism has nothing to do with the demise of democracy.

There are strong moral reasons that the writers of the U.S Constitution did not want a democracy. They knew that democracy would create chaos and violence.

Even in the pagan Roman Empire, everyone knew the maxim of law that a democracy is prohibited. Multitudo errantium non parit errori patrociuum “The multitude of those who err furnishes no excuse for error.” This maxim of law has been perpetuated through the millennia to us today, but you ignore it. Ignorance of the law is no excuse for violating it. [Ignorantia juris quod quisque tenetur scire, neminem excusat. Ignorance of a law, which every one is bound to know, excuses no man.]

The U.S. Constitution promised to ensure domestic tranquility and secure the blessings of liberty. But today’s government exists by violence. Police, laws, courts, taxes, CPS, military and all other institutions of government exist by violent enforcement and threats of violence. Today’s government does NOT exist to protect your safety from violence. Safety and liberty are mutually incompatible. Ben Franklin once wrote that “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. This is inscribed on a plaque in the stairwell of the Statute of Liberty. By the way, Ben Franklin was at the Constitutional Convention. He also signed the Peace Treaty with Britain thereby authorizing the U.S. to exist. Perhaps he knew something about the purpose of the government he authorized to exist. Perhaps you should pay attention, or forfeit both your liberty and safety.

The Constitution tried to secure the blessings of liberty. It guarantees a republic form of government, NOT a democracy. No form of collectivism can respect individual rights.

There is a reason that you do not have any remaining rights.

PLUNDER

Frederic Bastiat in Economic Sophisms, Second Series, Chapter 1, The Physiology of Plunder, 1845:

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in a society, they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”

Collectivists cannot recognize individual rights. Collectivists covet their neighbor’s wealth through taxation and usury. Once the cancer of covetousness metastasizes into a democracy, no society can recover. There is no amount of government regulations that can cure the corruption, greed, sloth, deception and perversion that is spread by democracy. If you insist on participating, you will find yourself dominated by those who refuse to manage their own lives.

The writers of the Constitution knew what would happen to any government that allows greedy people to vote. Voting for welfare is a conflict of interest — discussed below. John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government, section 222, tells us that when government officers corrupt society, the result is

“to cut up the government by the roots, and poison the very fountain of public security…”

EQUAL NEIGHBORS ?

Every July Fourth Americans celebrate another anniversary of the signing of a famous document that told the world we had a right to be free and independent because we hold the truth that all men are created equal. The truth that we are created equal is the received law of the land in America. Love your neighbor as yourself, there is no greater moral commandment. This is the essence of being created equal. You do not love your neighbor by forcibly taking plunder from one neighbor to give to another. Forced charity is not charity, it is violence. Taking from others is theft, even if legalized by the mob.

Democracy denies that we have a right to be free and independent. Instead of holding the truth that we are all created equal, a democracy holds the truth that the mob is King.

According to the Declaration of Independence, governments are instituted among men to secure rights. You gave up your rights when you recognized the legitimacy of plunder (government benefits). An ungrateful free man is reduced to slavery.

Partaking in this evil will guarantee that you cannot be free and independent. For many reasons: The received law-of-the-land tells us that availing oneself of benefits “oblige the inferior to take the will of him on who he depends”. 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 the words of Samuel Adams’ speech at the Philadelphia State House August 1, 1776:

“crouch down and lick the hands which feed you”.

Samuel Adams was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, cousin of President John Adams, and an activist at the Boston Tea Party, delegate to the first Continental Congress and Governor of Massachusetts. Perhaps he knew something about the purpose of government. Perhaps you should pay attention.

In order to avail oneself of gifts, gratuities, and the benefits of mob rule, one must be willing to take something from his neighbor. By the phrase “willing to take something from his neighbor” — I mean forcibly take from your neighbor if he fails to pay. You hired the tax collector to levy his wages, seize his bank account, and evict him with the force of guns if necessary, and sell his house in order for you to live more comfortably at his expense.  If he resists being evicted from his home he will be held down and his face hammered into the pavement until he stops resisting.  This is YOUR substitute for liberty and justice for all. It is how you love your neighbor as much as yourself, Matthew 19:19 and 22:39.

You have no right to take from others just because you want to live more comfortably. You have no right to create a mob to take from others.

You become dependent on the state benefactors. Your greed has created the world you see around you. You now equate freedom with safety and comfort. Even though they are mutually exclusive. You converted your God-given responsibility to manage yourself into an intolerable burden.

More information on the ways you waived your rights is in my book The Citizen Cannot Complain.

Merely thinking that a collective can chose for you how you will give your charity is the opposite of “all men are created equal”.  Forced charity is not charity. Read my essay on Welfare.

DOMINATION

Domination is the opposite of “all men are created equal”.

Thomas Jefferson was “against every form of tyranny over the mind of man”. You welcomed tyranny when you were the tyrant, and now you complain. Collectivism in any of its forms cannot recognize individual rights.

The Constitution was written in the Quaker State, and the founding fathers would be well aware of traditional Quaker fundamentals. Quaker Apology #14 by Robert Barclay (1678):

“Concerning the power of the Civil Magistrate, in matters purely religious, and pertaining to the conscience:
Since God hath assumed to himself the power and dominion of the conscience, who alone can rightly instruct and govern it, therefore it is not lawful for any whatsoever, by virtue of any authority or principality they bear in the government of this world, to force the consciences of others; and therefore all killing [executions], banishing, fining, imprisoning, and other such things, which men are afflicted with, for the alone exercise of their conscience, or difference in worship or opinion, proceedeth from the spirit of Cain the murderer, and is contrary to the Truth; provided always, that no man, under the pretense of conscience, prejudice his neighbour in his life or estate; or do anything destructive to, or inconsistent with human society; in which case the law is for the transgressor, and justice to be administered upon all, without respect of persons”
He cited Luke 9:55-56; Matthew 7:12,29; Titus 3:10

Many people are fooled into thinking that the United States is a democracy. The US Constitution, Article 4, section 4 guarantees to every inhabitant a REPUBLICAN form of government.

THE U.S. CONSTITUTION DOES NOT CONTAIN THE WORD DEMOCRACY because democracy has no place in America. You have no right to dominate others. Others have very limited right to dominate you.

In a democracy, a majority votes to force their will on others. But in a nation where everyone is created equal, those who know right from wrong will never covet their neighbors’ goods, will not plunder the innocent, will not exercise dominion over others.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

Any political party that seeks to dominate others is evil. Don’t send your benefactors out to take money (taxes) from your neighbors. The Constitution controls government, not people. Anyone who participates in an election agrees to the outcome, regardless of how abhorrent. Don’t dominate others. Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. Using force (the force of law) to bleed your neighbors dry is evil. Using the force of law to regulate your neighbors out of business is evil.

In a republic, everyone has rights. Your Constitution guaranteed you a republican form of government. In a democracy, the misguided mobocracy forces their will on the minority. The word “Republic” comes from the Latin idiom `Libera res publica’, which means “free from things public”.

HISTORY

Alexander Hamilton:

“We are a Republic. Real Liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of Democracy.”

James Madison, 1787, Federalist Paper #10:

“Democracy is the most vile form of government … democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. …

Theoretical politicians who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would at the same time be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions”

Of course democracies are “spectacles of turbulence and contention.” Democracies are only for those who would take the risk of loosing their rights in exchange for the chance to dominate others.

Fisher Ames, who was the author of the words of the First Amendment, said:

“A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption and carry desolation in their way.”

John Adams, 1815:

“Democracy … while it lasts is more bloody than either [aristocracy or monarchy]. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”

John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court:

“Between a balanced Republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

When we were convinced that it was no longer a sin to desire benefits at the expense of our neighbor “Faith, Hope, and Charity began to flee out of our Church”. [The Twelve Conclusions of the Lollards, The First Conclusion.]

Greek Historian Polybius The Histories Book 6, section 9:

“But when a new generation arises and the democracy falls into the hands of the grandchildren of its founders, they have become so accustomed to freedom and equality that they no longer value them, and begin to aim at pre-eminence; and it is chiefly those of ample fortune who fall into this error. So when they begin to lust for power and cannot attain it through themselves or their own good qualities, they ruin their estates, tempting and corrupting the people in every possible way. And hence when by their foolish thirst for reputation they have created among the masses an appetite for gifts and the habit of receiving them, democracy in its turn is abolished and changes into a rule of force and violence. For the people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others, as soon as they find a leader who is enterprising but is excluded from the houses of office by his penury, institute the rule of violence; and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch.

Abraham Lincoln, September 11, 1858:

“Familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage and prepare your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trampling on the rights of others you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.”

A popular saying attributed to American patriots:

“A simple democracy is the devil’s own government.”^1,2

1.This quote is often attributed to several American patriots. Most often to Benjamin Rush, or Jedidiah Morse (the “father of American Geography”), but it was actually written by a Presbyterian pastor. L.H. Butterfield, ed., The Letters of Benjamin Rush, vol. 1 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1951), 454, quoting John Joachim Zubly, Presbyterian pastor and delegate to Congress, in a letter to David Ramsay in March or April 1788.

2. William Elder, Questions of the Day, (Philadelphia: Henry Baird publisher, 1871) page 175, attributes the quote to Thomas Jefferson.

A CANCER SORE WHICH EATS TO THE HEART OF THE CONSTITUTION

Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 19, 1787. Thomas Jefferson. In the paragraph starting at the bottom of page 290:

“Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition. … The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigour. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.”

[Venality is the condition of being susceptible to bribery or corruption. The use of a position of trust for dishonest gain. The American Heritage Dictionary]

Why would he mention subservience?

SUBSERVIENCE.

Actions speak louder than words. Once you salute your new master you have acknowledged that you are the inferior, no longer equal.

Welcome to your Novus Ordo Seclorum secular new world order.

The words ballot and bullet are etymologically the same word. You have no right to dominate others with a ballot, or a bullet. Both are just as evil. We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. You had no respect for the rights of others. By registering to vote, you declare that you want a chance to dominate others. You got what you wanted. You consented to be governed. You wanted a system of domination. By registering to vote, you consented to the outcome. Again: you got what you wanted.

YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED

Do you have a God-given right to be protected against the consequences of your acts? Do you have a right to be protected against God’s discipline? Which god protects you?

Maxim of Law:

Ex dolo malo non oritur actio. He has invited what has come, and he must accept it.

The Supreme Court in U.S. v Cruikshank case, 92 U.S. 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.”

YOU CONSENTED TO BE GOVERNED

Those registered to vote agree to the outcome of the election, no matter how abhorrent.

If there is a bond issue on the ballot, then those who are registered to vote put up their real estate is collateral for the debt. Even after they sell their interest in the property to foreign buyers, the original collateral is subrogated until the bond is paid.

Those registered to vote are represented. They have entered society. Once represented Procurationem adversus nulla est proæscriptio. There is no prescription for procuration. If you are represented, then you cannot be damaged by your representative. Your submission must be a complete submission with the full understanding that you cannot be damaged by your representative.

UNREASONING MOBS DEMANDING YOUR MONEY?

Unreasoning mobs do not have authority.

Bouvier’s 1870 Law Dictionary, Vol 1, page 13 tells us that “The term republic, res publica, signifies the state independently of its form of government.” That’s right. The sovereign people are independent of the administrating governments in all republics. Freemen are free from civil authority. `Libera res publica’ (free from things public). In the Bible a Roman officer cannot arrest a Roman citizen according to Acts 22:27,29. Freemen are free from civil authority. However, the Roman law which still exists in America today also warns us that: “The civil laws reduce an ungrateful freedman to his original slavery” Libertinum ingratum leges civiles in pristinam servitutem redigunt.

In a democracy, which we have had since 1933, you can vote to plunder others while demanding benefits. You too can exercise your democratic rights to persecute others. But, you must suffer the consequences.

Every voter has agreed to abide by the outcome of the election, even if he finds it abhorrent. Governments’ derive their powers from the consent of the governed. You have consented to be governed. So you’ve agreed, by registering to vote, that any misguided majority determines your moral values. Even the Supreme Court in a voter discrimination case(92 US@551) said: “The citizen cannot complain, because he has voluntarily submitted himself to such a form of government.” Registered voters consent to be taxed. Conversely, there would be no taxation without representation. Memorize this legal maxim: “He who consents to an act is not damaged by it.” Did your government school teach this?

If you are a registered voter, you have consented to the results of the election. If an election passed a bond issue, then you agreed to have a lien on your property until the bond is paid, even if you didn’t vote.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Those with a conflict of interest will insist on dominating their neighbors.

`Conflict of interest’ is legal terminology for those who can influence a government decision to enrich themselves. This is not limited to Elected Officials or civil servants. Welfare partakers are, by voting, also influencing government to receive their check. Anyone who receives a government check, be it a paycheck or an entitlement check has a conflict of interest that morally prohibits them from voting. Voting becomes, for them, a government granted privilege that can be revoked at any time. On the other hand, Government’s sovereign masters have a right to control their servants. Jura Summi Imperii.

You are no longer in a Republic. Prove it to yourself. Ask yourself some questions: Can a majority of Congressmen, and a judge now conspire to take all your rights from you? Can a city government prohibit you from owning a dog unless you first beg for permission and pay a fee? Can you repair your front porch without begging for permit and paying a fee?

Democracy cannot be considered as a form of government. Although it starts as a form of government, it quickly dissolves into corruption. The moment a politician makes a promise, is the moment democracy ceases to be a form of government. To use a public office to grant favors to those who elect you is corruption. It is the very definition of corruption. Go look it up in a law dictionary. DEMOCRACY IS CORRUPTION. According to John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government section 222 the use of a public office to influence your electors will “cut up the government by the roots, and poison the very fountain of public security…”

Ben Franklin, closing speech at the Constitutional Convention, September 17, 1787:

“I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.”

Socialist bullies gang up to force their will on you. We called it fascism. They cannot use a Republic.

Government exists to secure the blessings of liberty. Don’t claim to live in a free country if you have never seen liberty.

LIBERTY AND JUSTICE is available for all who can qualify, but most people disqualified themselves from both Liberty and Justice.  They were tricked out of their rights by legalities they did not understand.

The Declaration of Independence tells us why someone would want to create a government. It says that Governments are instituted among men to secure certain unalienable rights.

The Constitution was ordained and established to secure the blessings of liberty to their Posterity. If we can keep it. Unfortunately, ungrateful freemen rejected our liberties. They preferred “wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom.”¹ Ungrateful freemen then tainted² the ballot box.

What is Liberty?

Liberty is freedom from every known method of compulsion. This was the understanding in 1803 Virginia law books. Under the U.S. Constitution, government protects you from all known methods of compulsion — until you became ungrateful for your liberties. Rights only come with responsibility.

Ungrateful freemen

• 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.
• If you apply to government for a SSN, you are asking for help with your old-age retirement planning. You are confessing that you are incapable of managing your own affairs.³ You are ungrateful for your freedoms. The civil laws then reduce you to a condition of servitude.⁴ But it is much worse. You sold your birthright for the promise of a future bowl of stew. Just like Esau sold his birthright.
• If you ask for employment benefits such as unemployment compensation, minimum wage or any other fair labor compensation, worker injury compensation, family leave, job safety regulations, employee polygraph protection act, etc… — you are an ungrateful freeman deemed to be unable to manage your own agreements, or even capable of assuming risks. By asking for slave benefits, you are demanding that the government impair the obligation of contracts — which is contrary to a freeman’s constitutional protections.  
• YOU were once in the same class of people as “We The People” who had the authority to create government, and the responsibility to control what we created.  But you didn’t want responsibilities. Now you want to be protected by someone else (your former servants). Whereas masters protect their (civil) servants.
• As was most eloquently stated in Blackstone’s Commentary on the Law: “a state of dependence will inevitably oblige the inferior to take the will of him on whom he depends, …”

Getting a SSN waives your rights.

Those who get an SSN waive their right to religious liberty. The Pilgrims came to America to have religious liberty. The Quakers came to America to have religious liberty. The Amish and Mennonites came to America to have religious liberty. The First Amendment limits the federal government from impairing religious liberty of people living in the District of Columbia.⁵

The Amish will not normally have an ID Card, and they are already exempt from Social Security. They believe that Social Security insurance is proof that you do not trust God. An Amish man, Mr. Lee, once left his community to try the English ways. He was fraudulently told to get an SSN to get a job. He believed the lie. There is no law requiring anyone to get a SSN to live or work in the USA. The Supreme Court ruled that he waived his right to religious liberty.

By getting a Social Security Number, you waive your religious rights to this “overriding governmental interest”⁶ according to the Supreme Court in U.S. v. Lee (455 U.S. 252).

That’s right. Those with SSNs cannot qualify for liberty.

The Constitution was constituted by Constitutors.

Those who become federal citizens (lower case c citizens)⁷ are liable for the national debt. Your representatives re-presented you.

Now go to the USdebtClock.org and find out how much your custodian must pay to redeem our freedom. Debt per taxpayer on the top line. And on the bottom line you will find unfunded liability per taxpayer, this is the amount that was borrowed from future SS payments (and a few other “entitlements”).

Now that your future forced labor is collateral for the National Debt, the U.S. has a fiduciary duty to maximize the value of the collateral and mitigate damages to the collateral. They will offer health benefits and safety benefits, regulate dangers, force vaccine protections, and demand minimum wage protections in order to maximize the value of the collateral. They will even protect the collateral from barking dogs and unlicensed lemonade stands. And a foreign trade treaty (Public Law 103-465 section 742) requires you to register your children as future collateral to pay the national debt.⁸

YOU are the one who demanded that your representatives borrow against the future of your children in order to live more comfortably now. Your covetous practices have cursed your children, just as we were warned two millennia ago.

Voluntary servitude remains entirely constitutional. Thomas Jefferson could not free his slaves because he had debt.  Slaves are collateral for debt. What chance does your master have of paying off the national debt?

There was once a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

The courts and the jails were for your use.

And we allowed our government servants to use them too. If you witnessed a crime or had an objectively⁹ reasonable belief that someone committed a crime, you had the moral duty to prosecute them yourself, or you could file a writ and let your civil servants do your job for you. Or we could settle our own disputes by extra-judicial remedies such as by dueling.  Servants cannot interfere with their master’s disputes.

The U.S. Supreme Court eliminated private prosecutions in 1981.¹⁰ Your State may still allow them, but federal citizens are protected from private prosecutions. You no longer have a government of the people or by the people.

BANKRUPTCY

I mentioned private prosecutions and private imprisonment to introduce you to the topic of bankruptcy.

The US Constitution does not allow personal bankruptcy.  Bankruptcy in the U.S. Constitution (Article 1, section 8) is still only for government bankruptcy.

There is still no such thing as personal bankruptcy. If YOU can declare bankruptcy it is because YOU became part of a government. Private imprisonment was protected. The jails were for our use. Back then, everyone who was not living in a poorhouse was considered to be a grateful freeman. People were held responsible for their contracts. As you can see, under the U.S. Constitution, courts could not hear, and could not consider, Habeas Corpus pleadings for private imprisonment.

ONLY people with SSNs can declare bankruptcy. Not only are they wards of the government, and also liable for the national debt when it comes time to seize the collateral, but it gets worse. Since bankruptcy is only for government, they have become part (perhaps as property, perhaps as an officer⁴) of the U.S. government. People with SSNs are now protected from a system of justice.

What is Justice?

Here is the definition of Justice:

People with SSNs are PROTECTED from Justice. As you can see from the definition of Justice, those who can qualify for bankruptcy are exempt from justice.

They have NO right to complain that there is no justice. Although they can demand what they are protected from, there is no reason to grant them such recourse. Rights only come with responsibilities. That is why they have no right to expect redress of grievance.

Emperor Justinian wrote several law books summarizing all Law. He reduced all law to three principles: Live honorably, harm no one, and render to every man his due.

Those who have SSNs have rejected all of these.

• They cannot live honorably. They applied for SSNs that they do not qualify for. They sold their birthright. They rejected responsibility. Rights only come with responsibility.
• They falsified federal documents, under penalty of perjury, that they live as paupers¹¹.
• They fraudulently confessed that they qualify for funds¹² from the Treasury.
• They are prohibited from a system of justice, and can refuse to pay their debts. They agreed to a scheme of plunder that allows them to live more comfortably at the expense of their neighbors. They reject the ethical maxim that Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors’ wealth. They accept socialism, knowing that socialism cannot respect the rights of others.¹³ They are card-carrying socialists.  Socialists cannot become Citizens¹⁴ of the United States

FOOTNOTES

1 Quote from a speech at the Pennsylvania State House (1 August 1776) by Samuel Adams (who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, cousin of President John Adams, and an activist at the Boston Tea Party)

2 Unclean hands shall “never pollute the pure fountain of justice” according to 1841 Supreme Court decision Groves v. Slaughter, 40 US 449. And now those with SSNs are protected from justice.

This was more eloquently stated by John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government, paragraph 222: “… when he goes about to set up his own arbitrary will as the law of the society.  . . . what is it but to cut up the government by the roots, and poison the very fountain of public security? ”

3 Others may step in to manage the affairs of those who cannot take care of themselves. “An implied procuration takes place when an individual sees another managing his affairs and does not interfere to prevent it”.  (this is the law dictionary definition of tacit procuration). Those who are managed have no say in how they are treated.  There is no cure (prescription) for those who are damaged by their agent.  Procurationem adversus nulla est præscriptio. And there are dozens of other legal reasons. The Supreme Court said “the citizen cannot complain because he has voluntarily submitted himself to such a form of government.”
Rights only come with responsibilities.  If you cannot manage yourself, then you have no right to manage your servants.  Do you even have a right to contract?   “For what compact can be made with a man that is not master of his own life?” as John Locke asked in his 1690 Second Treatise of Government, Chapter 15.  Since rights only come with responsibilities, you waived your right to manage your government servants.  Attorneys have every right to Attorn those who cannot manage their own affairs, which makes you a ward of your former servants.

4 Your actions speak louder than words — you cannot complain. You are now subordinate to your former (civil) servants, even if you don’t swear an oath of allegiance.*  An oath of allegiance, according to the Department of Homeland Security 8 CFR 337, is a commitment to “perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; …”.  This is unlimited perpetual slavery.  Your forced labor is collateral for the national debt. All those empty cities in China are there for a purpose.  Also see footnote 6.

*Supreme Court definition of 14th Amendment citizenship in Elk v. Wilkins: “completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiance.”

5 The First Amendment does not apply to States according to the U.S. Supreme Court in Twinning v. New Jersey and in Hague v. CIO. State inhabitants are not protected by federal protections until they become federal wards.

6 See my essay on Police Powers.
Government has the right to regulate what it funds.
According to the Supreme Court in Ashwander v. TVA anyone who “avails himself of a benefit” cannot then question the legality of the law that he benefited from.  The Supreme Court WILL NOT consider the case.
Partaking of benefits is absolute estoppel against complaining that you are participating in a fraud.  YOU are the one who signed under penalty of perjury, stating that you knew what you were doing.  Whatever you say can be used against you in a court of law.  Stop complaining.

7. In the 11 occurrences in the U.S. Constitution of the word Citizen, the word is ALWAYS capitalized — until the five occurrences in the 14th Amendment, where the word is always in lower case. The authors of the 14th Amendment knew the English language. So should you.

8. Never let someone tell you that you must register your children with the authorities. In the middle ages, the conservatives burned the anabaptists at the stake for refusing to register their children. The victims endured a painful death knowing that their orphans would be raised by their murderers. The anabaptists became today’s Amish, Mennonites and Baptists. They were true Christians. They stood*. Today’s self-called “Christians” refuse to understand the Gospel of Christ. They will line up to register their children to be raised by pagans at their neighbors’ expense. They know the educators are anti-Christian. Yet they even claim they are doing God’s will. See my essay on public schools.
* The English word apostate comes from the Greek. It means failure to stand, or to stand away from.

9 An objectively reasonable belief is NOT a subjectively reasonable belief.

10 Leeke v. Timmerman

11 A pauper is someone supported at public expense.  The U.S. Constitution was constituted under the Articles of Confederation.   Article IV requires paupers to have the same rights as a fugitive from justice.

12 The Social Security Act, Section 205(c)(2)(B)(i)(II), (Link), requires applicants for Social Security Numbers to be an “applicant for or recipient of benefits under any program financed in whole or in part by Federal funds”
The Social Security Act was passed in 1935.  The Roosevelt socialists that passed the Social Security Act were well aware that federal welfare to individuals was unconstitutional. They were also well aware of a very narrow exception for indigents that could make Social Security legal  (as a tax only, just like Obmacare)  by using an assumption that everyone would understand — that only indigents are eligible to receive benefits under any program funded by government funds: (later confirmed in a Supreme Court decision in 1941, Edwards v. California, quoted below. This is just as it was for the 14th Amendment). Social Security was a humanitarian effort, during the great depression, to save States from the expense of taking care of paupers. People who qualify for government funds are defined in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Edwards v. California, 314 US 160 at page 172: “…only persons who are presently destitute of property and without resources to obtain the necessities of life, and who have no relatives or friends able and willing to support them.”
This is the only Constitutional way to qualify for welfare, including SS.   But you must give up your rights when you give up your responsibility to take care of yourself.   Since rights only come with responsibilities, you give up all your rights and are forevermore a ward of the system.  Congratulations.  You now fraudulently qualify, under limited circumstances, to convert Treasury funds to private use — “financed in whole or in part by Federal funds”.  Government has a right to regulate whatever it funds.

13 Abraham Lincoln, September 11, 1858:

“Familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage and prepare your own limbs to wear them.  Accustomed to trampling on the rights of others you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.”

14 In the 1891 naturalization case of Mr. Sauer, Title 81 Federal Reporter page 358, the court held that Mr. Sauer, although an industrious, law abiding man, could not become a citizen because he claimed to be a Socialist.  This was 40 years prior to the Social Security Act.

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.

“No free people ever existed, or can ever exist, without keeping the purse strings in their own hands. Where this is the case, they have a constitutional check upon the administration, which may thereby by brought into order without violence. But when such a power is not lodged in the people, oppression proceeds uncontrolled in its career, till the governed, transported into rage, seek redress in the midst of blood and confusion.”
— John Dickinson, signer of the Constitution
“The Writings of John Dickinson”, p.364, Applewood Books

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/

Federal Reserve Notes are debt.

They are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Your forced labor backs the Fed’s debt currency if the U.S. Treasury ever fails to pay a debt obligation.

You cannot pay a debt with another debt.

“There is a distinction between a debt discharged and one paid. When discharged the debt still exists, though divested of its character as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge. Something of the original vitality of the debt continues to exist.”
— Stanek v. White. 172 Minn. 390, 215 N. W. 784

Stanek v. White continues: “which may be transferred, even though the transferee takes it subject to its disability incident to the discharge. The fact that it carries something which may be a consideration for a new promise to pay, so as to make an otherwise worthless promise a legal obligation, makes it the subject of transfer by assignment.”

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. (Christ warned you never to swear Matthew 5:34, least ye be damned James 5:12) The smoke of your torment shall rise forever in the presence of the Lamb, and you shall have no rest day nor night.

Footnotes:

*(Whereas postage stamps are spent into circulation.)  The Federal Reserve Bank is a private corporation that has never been audited.  They purchase U.S Treasury bonds and agree to repay with interest.  They then borrow the printing presses at the U.S. Treasury to print their notes. Notes are IOUs.  Their notes are then distributed to their member banks for circulation to those who dare to use them.  Their technical term is “monetize the debt”.   (and I have not mentioned the magic of fractional reserve to create money from nothing).  If the debt is ever re-paid the note is retired from circulation.  When an IOU is repaid the IOU note is redeemed (canceled). There should be no notes in circulation. (see my essay The Constitution requires a balanced budget.)
