Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich was quoted in the January 7, 1999 edition of USA Today: "America’s domestic policy is now being run by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve," and "America’s Foreign Policy is now being run by the International Monetary Fund." Additionally, he succinctly stated: "… when the President decides to go to war, he no longer needs a declaration of war from Congress." Understanding the Law of Peace http://lawofpeace.org/essay.htm How Americans have become subject under the Law of War The Thick of it All! Citizens for Constitutional Government believe that we all want peace, so that we may pursue a free and just life. The purpose of this essay is an attempt to encapsulate the crux of our situation as a united Republic, and, briefly outlining the incremental usurpation of the Constitution by Washington D.C. Please read on and learn of why the Federal Government can do what they are doing, and how these powers, such as waging War without representation, have come to be. And, how our mindset can be redirected in a peaceful mindset. This was the intention of our Constitutional Republic. Let us not fall prey to their Hegelian [1] principles that corruptive forces employ as a method of enslavement and suppression. We hope you find this a liberating essay enabling you and the public to understand the highly questionable conduct of today’s United States. Please print it out and pass it on. The more people who know where they stand, the more of the likelihood of Peace. Power in numbers! So, what does Law of Peace mean? Or, to state in converse terms, how can the federal government carry on in the manner that they have been, which to some may appear as acts of evil; a total infringement on our Rights protected by state and federal constitutions. True, the constitution does not seem to be restraining the federal government. The first thing to understand is that there is YOU, and then there is the Government. See Amendment 9 & 10. It is a hierarchy set down by our Founding Fathers as a foundation of freedom. Our constitutionally protected rights are un-a-lien-able! [2] " 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 to 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 Declaration of Independence As a primer, there are two distinct types of governments: there is either a government of the people, by the people (statesmen) or a Government controlling it’s subjects. Period. It is a waste of time dwelling on the finer details that Communism is not Fascism or vice-versa, yet you have a government of the Free, or indentured subjects controlled by a central governing body. Additionally, it is important to understand the difference between a Democracy…that operates by Mob rule, or by Tyranny of the Masses, and a Republic, that is purely representative by our peers. No individual freedom is protected in a democracy when it is subjected to a majority vote. In a republic, the God-given rights of just one individual cannot be taken (voted) away by the majority. The premise of a government is either based on incentives (rewards driven… pursuit of happiness) or a government by control (fear driven.) We are at war… no, not the usual disturbing sense that is overwhelming the populous via the controlled media; war has been declared on the American people. Unofficially since 1933, we have been tracked, monitored, licensed and, in short, are part of controlled inventory, really! Upon birth, a copy of our birth certificate is sent to the Department of Commerce, where upon, we are put up as collateral… since birth! A lien has been placed upon all 3rd party (the corporate state being such party) certified births that reflects our National debt; the privately owned Federal Reserve being in receivership. A decade ago the amount was roughly $200,000. (see the "Maternity Act" below [3].) So, do we have un-a-LIEN-able rights? Depends upon where you stand, and to recognize who has "jurisdiction" over you. A Historical Background (just to scratch the surface) President Abraham Lincoln declared Martial Law nearly at the onset of his administration in July of 1861… this was the first every Executive Order [4] in our Nation’s history in what became a new form of government. It was a cheap way of averting his various law suits pending in the Supreme Court that ensued once the Territorial War Act on the South, (a mostly agriculturally-craftsman based society) was declared by the North, (a growing industrial-credit/debt society half) of the Nation. In essence, he suspended the constitution, although there is no such clause inherent to the constitution allowing for such action; only government change such as an invading country can allow this to happen. Once the Union was regrouped he had intentions (although questionable to many camps of thought) of restoring the full constitutionality on our Nation’s Law. He simply exercised tyrannical powers….. hmmm Abe Lincoln!?? Lincoln’s assassination led way for Congress, the Legislative half of the checks and balance [5] body politic, to continue on grasping at unconstitutional powers. Since the adjournment of the Congress preceding Lincoln’s Administration in November 1861, no congress has been reconvening per Article 1 Section 4 paragraph 2 of the constitution but actually what stems from military action, or as a form of emergency; the South had provisional governments and appointed (not elected) Governors installed. The South did not reconvene upon their free will, a breach in contractual [6] terms (yet, under threat, duress or coercion) by the federal Government. Upon joining the Union, State’s sovereignty prevailed in their own terms set forth by the people, for the people as prescribed by the State’s constitution as a Constitutional Republic, or country. The Southern states, as outlined by the federal constitution, had every right to secede! They were not insurrectionist! Ever notice that the state house has its chambers roped off?… that is because the "politicians" have NO office. Legislature no longer convene, modeling law to serve the public as elected Statesmen. As it is all about commerce and money; perhaps they gather only to have free lunches with corporate hired lobbyists and write code to favor the whims of that commerce and industry. Their oaths of office [7] have turned out to be inconsequential. Additionally, as the Flags were raised dutifully every morning (namely, flag etiquette that is wholly absent), it was the state’s flag that flew hire than the Federal flag. Since the end of the Civil War the reverse has been true. By the end of the Civil War with the subsequent adoptions of the Constitutional Amendments, the 13th, 14th and later, the 15th, and the Acts of Reconstruction, the constitutional nature (organic) of the American government had been radically altered. Interestingly, the proponents of these immense changes were actually dubbed "radicals"; "communism" had yet to become a quipped phrase in those days as the word "democracy" has become today. The Acts following the Civil War had the affect of centralizing and nationalizing the seat of power, also known as the Federal government, superceding the state’s own sovereign powers and organic [8] constitution. See 10 Planks of Communism. The State's constitutions have also changed dramatically in nature, to the extent that they are only codes of commerce, or outlining a "corporate" civil society. They are no longer organic. Many feel the 13th [9]and 14th (please read footnote below [10]) amendments were liberating. In reality it "freed the Slaves (13th) and enslaved the Free (14th)" via contract; it created a Civil system of law, not the founding father’s idea of Common Law. Caesar’s Roman Civil Law , or Lex Mercuria (Merchant Law) is the law of commerce; it is not Nature’s Law, nor God’s Law. Lincoln suspended the Writ of Habeas Corpus [10] by authorizing military detention of all citizens engaged in or suspected of "disloyalty" or committing treasonous acts with respect to the federal constitution. Yet, at the time, it was the State’s constitution that superceded the federal constitution in the applicability of Law… "shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government." Article 4 Section 4. Discontent with the Union arose in the South, where-by they collectively stated (as a confederation) that they will not return to the National Congress if Lincoln was elected as the President. (A side note: unlike the public school brainwashing, the Civil War had very little to do with Slavery, but perhaps as you shall read, more of servitude. With Lincoln at the helm, the North’s declaration of War on the South on July 13th, 1861 with the Territorial War Act, led to the underlying nature of our un-peaceful, war-like times of today. Like many of the issues of today, the War on Drugs, HIV or terrorism, etc., slavery was used to usurp the constitution and rewrite Law.) With the aid of Supreme Court decisions (remember checks and balances [5]) Congress passed the Habeas Corpus Acts of 1867 and 1868, setting in stone Lincoln’s suspension of it’s protection: … "any person may be restrained of his or her liberty, in violation of the constitution or any treaty or law of the United States.[12]" Due process of law came under jeopardy… "innocent until proven guilty". Under Law of War, there are no courts. Note: The Purpose of the Federal Government, (read: Washington D.C., or the United States... color of words [13]) is to have jurisdiction over inter-state commerce and to handle such issues and disputes, not internal issues infringing upon the sovereignty of the State and it’s Citizens relative to their respective State constitution. To understand these basic principals of governing, see the redundant (to make the point) Amendments, 9 & 10 of the Bill of Rights. Please read to find out where the sovereign Citizens stands. President Andrew Johnson fought so adamantly and vetoed the unconstitutional Acts of the "radical" legislative branch that he was brought to the point of impeachment. It was his intention TO DECLARE PEACE under the premise of the constitution with his Proclamations of June 6th and August 20th 1866, realizing that the unrest in the South was sequestered, although he knew it was done by force. The 17th President of the Union stated to a confidant, "They have impeached me for a violation of the Constitution and the laws. Have I not been struggling ever since I occupied this chair, to uphold the constitution which they are trampling under foot." The Trading with the Enemy and War Powers Acts Fast forward to the Woodrow Wilson Administration of 1913, and the passage of the Federal Reserve Act on the eve of December 23rd. The monetary policy of the united States of America was transferred to private foreign hands by a small number of congressmen present. Subsequently, irresponsible and manipulative fiscal policies have gone awry: since this Act's passage, the fractional reserve banking system is one of perpetual debt such as the fiscal system we have today that allows for greater manipulation. Money Politics is what governs the world, lest have we forgotten that "the love of money is the roots of all evil." "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson "Give me control of the Money then I will not care who makes the law." Nathan Rothschild In 1916, Wilson began to define an enemy with his Trading with the Enemy Act, an enemy foreign in nature. Foreign to whom? The Act stating that those who trade or support Enemies (Germans and associated allied countries by descent or by recent immigration or naturalization) will be prosecuted. In the view of what can be construed as commercial endeavors, these enemies fell under federal jurisdiction. What began to take shape in 1933 under the "wonderful" Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration is largely unknown to the general public, yet it is pivotal in understanding the nature of this essay. Congress convened and immediately amidst the financial crises of the day, convinced the states' governors that America went bankrupt, making this declaration, Public Law 1 in March of 1933. House Joint Resolution 192 suspended the Gold standard (our ONLY form of constitutional money Article 1 section 10, or Title 12 USC section 152), and declared that, "Whomever willfully violates any provision of this subsection, or of any license, order, rule or regulation thereunder, shall, upon conviction be fined not more than $10,000, or if a natural person, may be imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both:…" essentially, an enemy of the federal government. This Act was amended to the Trading with the Enemy Act of Wilson, further defining who an enemy is. The receivers of the Debt were private international bankers, known then as the Federal Reserve Bank and today what has become the International Monetary Fund… the largest loan shark cartel. (See opening quote of Robert Reich, Secretary of Labor in 1999 on who makes our policies.) WAR POWERS ACT . . . March 9, 1933 "During time of war or during any period of national emergency declared by the President, the President may, through any agency [14] that he may designate, or otherwise investigate, regulate, prohibit, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, by means of licenses or otherwise, any transactions in foreign exchange, transfers of credit between or payments by banking institutions as defined by the President and export, hoarding, melting, or earmarking of gold or silver coin or bullion or currency, by any person within the United States or anyplace subject to the jurisdiction thereof; …" TITLE 12 USC. Section 95(a) and 95(b). Here is where Roosevelt changed the meaning of ‘enemy’ by inserting the term, "within the United States". Incidentally, President Gerald Ford reinstated Gold ownership and possession on August 15th, 1974, BUT, as a privilege! An interesting connection between Roosevelt’s (WWII guy) and Woodrow Wilson (WWI guy) seems to exist here. Between the two Administrations, America was riding high with euphoria after the war, only to await an economic crash (contrived?… $80 billion was removed from circulation by the Federal Reserve) of immense proportions. Both Presidents vowed NOT to enter the European wars, yet did on suspicious grounds, the sinking of the British (munitions) ship, the Lusitania and Pearl Harbor, two cases that fell under Federal Jurisdiction as they took place on "the High Seas"… Merchant Law. Both Presidents radically changed the face of the Nation with their draconian administrative policies. We the People in Debt and Receivership So, who was to cover the debt under this new governmental arrangement? We the People! We have become collateral. It has been approximated that each of us as a United States citizen covers the tag of 200 grand. (Not researching the topic, but why is suicide illegal? The reason being, perhaps, it that as we are seen as inventory.) In the process the American Citizenry have been given war names, or "nom de guerre" and henceforth, incorporated under Military or Admiralty Law, creating a fictional entity thereunder subject to such jurisdiction, the law of commerce? We hope this is beginning to hit home with you concerned Citizens. Most federal notices or payable bills to you are all capitalized, whereby only the middle initial exists… look at your credit card…. drivers license. Never crossed your mind?! If you concede jurisdiction (by fraud, threat of fine or coerced) or simply by (blind) compliance, we admit to an enemy status of the state, the state being the Federal Government. The greatest deception was that these programs were touted as either entitlements or privileges. As James Madison called it "the old trick of turning every contingency into a resource for accumulating force in the government." Roosevelt made it appear that it was the State that "owes its citizen a living." or began the crusade of setting forth regulations in the name of "public good." This all has been a gradual process while, had it been a sudden, drastic change in government, it would have certainly brought the public into an uproar. This gradualism has crept into our Public School system, molding the Populous. (Today, many trade with enemies, the infamous "military-industrial complex" is very profitable, yet trade and commerce between countries (states) fall under Federal jurisdiction.) Its not a farce. However, YOU control who has jurisdiction over you. Only YOU can truly represent yourself. The Creation of Private-Mercantile Law What else has became of the Roosevelt Administration under the Federal Register Act of July 26, 1935 was the creation of all the regulatory Alphabet Agencies, "…the President may, through any agency [14] that he may designate,…" to certify, track and control. The most infamous is the Social Security Administration. On October 9, 1940 congress passed the Buck Act which, via the Public Salary Tax Act of 1939 (Title 4 USCA section 111), or what became the Amendment 16th (again questionable in it’s ratification) created federal area throughout the united States. This gave way to multi volume Title 26 of the United State Code, better know as the Internal Revenue Code. In a nutshell, those liable to taxation are federal employees (United State citizens), foreign derived income, or income derived from alcohol, tobacco or firearms, and those who wish to "voluntarily comply" to their auditing practices. It is here that their jurisdiction crept into every corner of the collective sovereign states, and most every home. And, it is this contract here (out of what many originally believed as another entitlement program) that makes one a United States citizen, superceding American Citizenship, state boundaries and State sovereignty, and henceforth jurisdiction under the Codes, Statutes and Regulations that stem from the federal government. With the recent passage of the National Identification (biometric) Card and the Real ID Act is just one more measure of Americans unknowingly relinquishing there rights under the guise of terrorism. Did you register to vote, as a United States citizen? Did you get a marriage license? Drivers license? License to practice a profession (oh, how I here the arguments that such professions need to be controlled! Control yourself, scrutinize who you hire, or better yet, who you elect)? Certificate of Birth? Registered your Dog? Register your property with the town clerk by "Posting" it private? Declare your Property as a "Homestead" and subsequently yourself as a "resident"? (Your "private" property also has a lien through a state or county loan from the Federal Government on it beyond your own mortgage, an estimated 7% of your land values worth.) "The claim and exercise of a Constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime." Miller v. U.S. 230 F 2d 486, 489. These are all revenue-generating measures to control the "enemies" (or human capital), convolutedly so by color of law/color of words, maintaining the collateral of the debt payable to the Federal Reserve (ever notice whom you pay your taxes to?). Are you beginning to understand in what light your rights do not really exist? Do not despair, educate yourself. Remember, if you do not know your rights, you do not have any. And, per the Supreme Court Case cited above, you must claim and exercise your rights, as well. Agencies and Administrative Code Public Law 79-404, Administrative Procedures Act of 1946, gave way allowing the alphabet agencies [15] to codify their regulations to then be printed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), as if they are LAW, when they are purely administrative procedures that created another means of generating revenue for the federal government, enabling this corporation to continue on with their enslavement agenda. Most courts are Administrative; they indeed operate as military courts (as evident by the admiralty/maritime gold fringed flag) as proceeding against civilians are governed by the Manual for Courts-Martial [14]. These courts are to enforce code for the IRS, BATF, FDA, EPA, NIH, FCC, HUD, ad nauseam, etc. Under Constitutional Law, 95% of all court cases would not be heard, and if so, the accused would be guaranteed a speedy trial by a jury of peers, (see Bill of Rights, Amendment 6 & 7). Once again, if you are a peaceful wo/man harming no fellow wo/man, why should you be perceived as treasonous, disloyal, criminal or "insurgent" like? If you contract with one of the above agencies, a one-sided contract, you fall under their jurisdiction, waiving many of your rights. Without delving into the evolution of codifying (degeneration) Constitutional Law, the Statutes at Large was the original condense version of the Constitution interpreted by the Supreme Court. As the nature of our government changed, so did the process of codifying "legalities." In short, they are condensed and edited (REWRITTEN!) by a staff of BAR member lawyers [15] (un-elected officials) whereby the end result IS NOT approved by the Congress (State and Federal) with an enacting clause [16]. Most "laws", more appropriately known as codes and regulations, CFR –Code of Federal Regulations and USCA – United States Code Annotated, are not directly promulgated by our elected servants (representatives.) They are laws of commerce, the role of the corporate federal government. A "person", a "resident", "individual" etc… all colorable titles, are regulated and monitored… "color of words" [13] to define their legalities, or corporate code. Yet, who have these people hurt, maimed, or what property have they damaged??? Multinational corporations can pollute and destroy our sustaining environment and we not only are injured through illnesses, but we must foot the bill, and give up our rights, particularly regarding water runoff (factory effluent) or sewage. Here we advocate responsibility, both at home and at work. These colorable titles are modeled after Maritime or Merchant Law, which is exactly what it means; they are laws of commerce, not "rights" granted by our Creator. They are laws of corporations and commerce, and have been codified in what is known as the Uniform Commercial Code, or U.C.C., and adopted by every State through the 1960’s. The Supreme Court decision (Roosevelt’s stacked appointments) of the landmark Erie Railroad v. Thompkins case in 1938 changed the entire legal system from public law, to private mercantile law. As of late, have people not been arguing that corporations have the same rights are "persons" (color of words)? Under this form of law, they do! So, why can’t a person be a corporation? Chances are, you ARE! Do you have a serial number? By the way, the privacy Act of 1972, specifically states that the Social Security number is to be used for IRS purposes ONLY! How often are you required to refer to this number when conducting your private (or commercial) affairs? All Their Lives Under Emergency Rule According to the Supreme Court in the Brown v. Bernstein opinion (D.C. pa., 49F Supp. 728, 732), "Congress has made little or no distinction between a state of national emergency and a state of war." Is not our color coded terrorist threat alert system indicative of a state of emergency?! States of Emergency are usually called in times of war enabling congress to take actions involving Military war and order. Now, isn’t the War on Drugs (an Act of Congress) a war declaration? Isn’t the West Nile Virus a threat to our well being, or AIDS, and now it is a War on Terrorism. We have been in a constant state of National Emergency or WAR! (The 15th Century Italian Statesman, Niccoló Machiavelli, stated in his classic, The Prince, that in order to control the populous, the government must wage war on a regular and routine basis.) Let’s have PEACE, mankind has survived through Acts of Nature, or "Acts of God", as commercial contracts state voiding damages that may be incurred. These things were not OUR doing, but those of the Federal Government, Acts of War without representation. No War without Representation! These national emergencies have been commercial endeavours…. is this not becoming obvious!!! And, it is War that is taxing YOU! YOU are the enemy… under the outrageous Patriot Acts, I and II, everyone is a terrorist. So, what is the federal government doing to keep these enemies in check? Oh yes, they must be monitored, controlled by endless codes and regulations (the Motor Vehicle Department is the most obvious), licensed, registered, finger printed, id'd or carded, vaccinated, chipped, etc. So, in order to exist here in the land of the free as enemies, we MUST (by their rules) obtain licenses, certificates, or register since we have given up our rights and have been conditioned to believe that we must be granted these privileges (color of words) by the corporate state. The Introduction of Senate Report of 1973 (#93-549) states that America has been in a State of war since 1933. "A majority of people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have in varying degrees been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency..." also, stated "The President may: Seize property, organize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute Martial Law, seize and control and transportation and communication, regulate operation of private enterprise, restrict travel, and in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American Citizens". * Senate Report 93-549; Senate Resolution 9, 93d Congress, 1st. Session (III) 1973. * See: Chapter 1, Title 1, Section 48, Statute 1, March 9, 1933; Proclamation 2038; Title 12 U.S.C 95(b). FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Act give the federal government draconian powers in the event National Emergencies "occur," as we have witnessed with havoc hurricanes (acts of God) in the south. Citizens, under National Emergency become subjects, and are treated as enemies if the public does not comply. Why? Unconstitutionally mandated Executive Orders are tyrannical decrees that stem from the federalization of power; in their eyes and their "10 square miles," the constitution means nothing. FEMA and its associated adjuncts (private security firms such as the one hired to guard West Point) and agencies such as the BATF have become the strong arm of the Federal Government. At least Wyoming has woken up, whereby Federal Agents must get Supreme Court orders to enter the state. No where in the constitution does it authorize a police FORCE. And, interestingly it is of military hierarchy with like designations: Captain, Lieutenant, Sergeant, Colonel, etc. Aside from our only elected (and disappearing) true "keeper of the peace", the County Sheriff (how often do you see a sheriff ticketing a driver?), the police force, in reality, is to protect and serve the government buildings, public-municipal property and associated employees…. not you, the American Citizen! That’s right, the police serve and protect! They certainly do! They enforce the admiralty-maritime contracts upon which most Americans have unknowingly entered as a fictitious or corporate enemy like entity upon which the courts have jurisdiction. For those serving in the military, please take no offense, but it is unfortunate that close to 85%of all new Police Academy recruits are fresh from a middle East war, albeit, somewhat conditioned against the ideals of peace as they are trained to search, seize and kill the enemy. And, the ever-increasing machination of our local government amidst a weak economy, additional revenue through new codes and regulations will be produced. Who is the Enemy? The Enemy is: a traveler by land, air or sea (investigate the newly created, without representation, Transportation Security Administration, or TSA); a "motor vehicle operator"; it is a person who wishes, in Peace, to voice his opinion. It is a "person" who is a tourist on vacation photographing public building. It is a jaywalker, speeder, someone who desperately needs to relieve their bladder, a hunter, a FARMER who deserves more respect than most, a private property owner who owns his land outright, a parent who home-schools. … someone who is inquisitive or a critical thinker questioning authority. A gun owner. Someone who speaks out publicly against the unlawful actions of the Federal Government, modeled after Lincoln's War Declaration as one who is "disloyal," yet loyal to their own state where they live. Someone who carries a copy of the Constitution, or who refers to it. These people have inflicted no harm yet, by the codified federal regulations, the enemy are the peaceful American Citizens. Where the People fear the Government, you have tyranny. Where the Government fears the People, you have liberty. Wrap-up, standing by the Law of Peace "A law contrary to the Constitution is void. Man’s right to liberty and property is inherent, unalienable. Man’s right to freedom is higher than the state’s right to collect revenue." John Adams Just by being peaceful, asking for justice and liberty, and demanding your sovereignty, you are perceived as an enemy. You are not part of the inventory that is to generate revenue. The United States (not "these united States of America) has certainly been a dominating war machine, certainly since WWI. This War does not have to extend to the peaceful People of these united States in cloaked terms. "Those who are willing to give up their freedoms to gain security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin. You should now have an idea of how the Government can operate as they do… they are not We the People. And, if we keep feeding into their fear, subsidizing their wars, peace on earth will be hard to find. We hope this has been an enlightenment; or perhaps will stir you to read and study the constitution, to think constitutionally, as it is the finest outline of freedom and liberty. Each and every one of us (and throughout the world) can still live under it’s protection, it just takes some care, understanding and due diligence… a duty! Question (expert) authority… what really is Law? If we are to collectively have peace, this outlook is essential. We understand the variety of arguments: a modern world, commerce, trafficking, or even the densely populated regions that need more (transportation) control. Poor Education (Communist Manifesto) or deliberately dumbing down (visit Charlotte Iserbty's Website www.deliberatedumbingdown.com) Americans coupled with the mass media and its role in socially engineering the public’s convictions and creating a godless society. (Here is where some of you will begin to get turned off….) Please, keep the Church (place of worship) and State separate! The Church was the educational system. This is not meant to be an act of preaching, but when the Citizens of this great Republic wake up to understanding who has Authority over them and will no longer accept the tyranny that has reigned, they will find that peace will once again prevail throughout their own life, and the land. Question of thought: If a house of worship, a church, mosque or temple declares itself as a 501 (3)(c) tax-exempt status (or whatever NUMBER assigning an entity, under what jurisdiction does this place of worship fall? Certainly, not God's! If you recognize that there is an Almighty Presence, our Creator who has endowed you with your unalienable rights, the ONLY one who has jurisdiction over YOU, after yourself, then understanding the Law of Peace (peace, justice and liberty... your unalienable rights) may be quite simple. "Those people who are not governed by God, will be ruled by tyrants." William Penn A world re-known mystic stated in his Sermon on the Mount, "Resist Not Evil." Samuel Paine said that Government is a "necessary evil," and many of us feel that they have become too evil. This non-reactive reaction, ala Ghandi, is quite appropriate here, but stand by your rights. If "agents" happen to violate these inherent rights unjustly, then resist not… resist not evil. These "agents" will be expecting a reaction from their unjust actions forced upon you… they are rubber stamped bureaucrats trained so. Do not play their game, you are not part of their inventory "system." They in turn, will be dumbfounded, and just may come to understand that, as agents of evil and on the side of war, not peace, will perhaps wake up to the truth. But, do understand that YOU and only YOU are responsible for your own actions, happiness and well-being, NOT THE STATE! If you seek "handouts" from the federal government, then you must "sing their song." "Allegiance is a duty owing by Citizens to their government, of which, so long as they enjoy its benefits, they can not divest themselves." Military Government and Martial Law, William E. Birkhimer, Major, General Staff, U.S. Army, 1914. It has been said that this mystic also stated, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Finding the unadulterated truth deep within your own soul is perhaps your greatest challenge. Yet, once again, if you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any. The power of collective thinking and reaction in a peaceful society is the way to attain peace for ourselves, our neighborhood, our county and for our State. Power follows Thought! Please download your state’s "organic" (original!) constitution, read the Federal Constitution and start a Citizens for Constitutional Government group in your community. In closing, we Citizens for Constitutional Government ask you to honor your words! Make peace with your neighbor and peace within your own heart. Come and go in Peace.

It is to be understood that one processes the mature faculties in order to understand fully to enter an agreement, known as "age of major." Your right to contract, or not to contract, cannot be abridged, albeit, enacted by force.
