"Useless laws weaken the necessary
laws." – Montesquieu
In 2008 there were 760,000 practicing lawyers in
America.
According to HLN 40,697 new statues were enacted
into law in 2009.{Remember "ignorance of the
law is no excuse" therefore you better get busy reading and researching those
new statues so you can comply with all the new laws. Otherwise you may be found
civilly and/or criminal liable for non-compliance with those laws of which you
were ignorant.}
"If you have ten thousand regulations, you destroy
all respect for the
law." – Winston Churchill
"The more laws and restrictions there are, the
poorer the people become." – Lao
Tzu
"Today more than 30 percent of the American
workforce needs a government license to work." - Chip Mellor 2/10
"A great many laws in a country, like many
physicians, is a sign of malady." – Voltaire
"To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey,
serves to bring all law into contempt."
– Elizabeth Cady Stanton
"He who regulates everything by
laws, is more likely to arouse
vices than reform them."
–
Baruch Spinoza
"Anyone who compares the legal domains of our
society to those of the premodern state immediately becomes aware of a
tremendous and ever-increasing contraction of formally unregulated social
space." - Paul Campos
"One of the greatest
delusions in the world is the hope that
the evils in this world are
to be cured by legislation." – Thomas B. Reed
"Lawyers, judges and scholars make highly
controversial political choices, but use the ideology of legal reasoning
to make our institutions appear
natural and our rules appear
neutral." - Joseph Singer
"The myth of a law distinct from substantive
value is used to smuggle in the values of the ruling
class." - Stanley Fish
"As the letter of the law swells in exactitude and
scope, the spirit of the law withers away and its power to control human
behavior diminishes." -
Charles
Eisenstein "Powerful private interests seized control
of our government roughly 100 years ago and have methodically used that control
to expand the reach of government until it's invaded every area of our lives.
Our country was founded on the ideal of maximum freedom from government has
turned into the exact opposite. We literally have millions of rules,
regulations and statutes to define every minute detail of what we can and can't
do.
I'd like to make a distinction between legal and lawful. When I
think of lawful I think of right and just. When I think of legal I think of
deliberately convoluted language written to get away with something a person
shouldn't get away with." - Bruce McDonald
Law is
defined as:
A way of
life.
Knowledge of
law.
A piece of enacted
legislation.
The principles of
equity; applied justice.
The
science and study of
law; jurisprudence.
The branch of
philosophy concerned with the
law.
Social order and justice
created by adherence to.
A principle of organization, procedure, or technique.
An agency
or agent responsible for enforcing the law.
A generalization based on
consistent experience or results.
A code
of principles based on
morality, conscience, or
nature.
The body of
principles or precepts held to
express the Soul of God.
An order or
a dictum, having absolute or
unquestioned authority.
A rule or body of rules of
conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or
binding upon human society.
The body of rules
and principles
governing the affairs of a
community and enforced by a political authority .
An organic rule, as a charter,
establishing and defining the conditions of the existence of a state or
other organized community.
A statement describing a relationship
observed to be invariable between or among
phenomena for all cases in
which the specified conditions are met.
In general, a rule of
being or of conduct,
established by an authority able to enforce its will; a
controlling regulation; the mode or order according
to which an agent or a power
acts.
The rules of
construction, or of procedure, conforming to the conditions of
success; a principle, maxim; or usage; as, the
laws of poetry, of architecture, of courtesy, or of
whist.
The Will of God as the rule for the disposition and conduct of
all responsible beings
toward him and toward each other;
a rule of living,
conformable to
righteousness; the
rule of action as obligatory on the
conscience or moral nature.
A
rule of being,
operation, or change, so certain and constant that it is conceived
of as imposed by the Will of
God as a controlling
authority; as, the law of gravitation;
the laws of motion;
the law heredity; the
laws of thought; the laws
of cause and effect; the law of
self preservation.
The
Natural Law or the Law of God is the
Will of God as to
human conduct, founded on the moral difference of things,
and discoverable by natural light (Rom. 1:20; 2:14, 15). This
law binds all men at all times.
There are only two types of
law;
mankind's laws and
Natural Law or the
Law of God.
United States Code traces back to Roman civil law, which in turn can
be traced back to Babylonian law - the law system adopted by the
Pharisees.
In code type legal systems - as opposed to Mosaic law/Common
law systems - moral principles of right and wrong (Natural Law,
the Law of God) are replaced by
precepts (statutes, rules, regulations).
Issues of right and wrong are
not considered and legal outcomes are determined by laws designed and enacted
by man - even when those laws are opposed to Natural Law and
the Laws of God.
Invariably in
code type legal systems, such legal systems develop at least two separate
classes of persons - the governed and those who govern. For reasons of
commercial efficiency and expediency such code type legal systems deal in the
fiction of man made law. Code type legal systems are unconcerned about the
collateral damage to the living and breathing individuals affected by their
operations whereas legal systems based upon Natural Law, such as
Sharia law are concerned with right
and wrong - actual reality as oppossed to an
ideologically conceptualized reality.
"Law must be free from
arbitrariness,
privilege, or
discrimination. Law must apply to
all, and not merely to particular persons or groups. Law must be certain. Law
must consist in the enforcement of known rules.
These rules must be general and abstract rather than specific and concrete.
They must be so clear that court decisions are predictable. In brief, the law
must be certain, general, and equal." - Friedrich August von Hayek
"We saw that the white man did not take his
religion any more seriously than he did his
laws, that he keeps both of them just behind
him, like helpers, to use when they might do him good.
These are not our ways. We keep the
laws we make, and we
live our religion. We have never understood the white man, who
fools no one but himself." - Chief Plenty Coups
of the Crow Friedrich August von Hayek and Chief Plenty
Coups of the Crow are speaking of the same law -
Natural Law or the
Law of God not a code of fictional laws
devised by group of men in social control to reign in actions they find to be
unacceptable to their intents and purposes of
the concentration of wealth and the
centralization of power.
precedent"Mass media complains about the current United States
Supreme Court's lack of respect for precedent. However, precedent has been
changed throughout history. Mass media seems
interested in keeping only precedents that it likes, even those likely to
violate the original intent of the Constitution.
Franklin Roosevelt loaded the court
with justices who granted him and his successors powers vastly exceeding those that the Constitutional
Convention of 1787 had granted the federal government. This violated about 150
years of precedent. If mass media is such a great
advocate of precedent, it should favor shrinking federal power to what the earlier precedents were." - Ronald
Castles
twisting the
law
"The law of
nature, dictated by God himself, is binding in all countries and at all
times; no human laws are of any validity if
contrary to this; and such of
them as are valid derive all force and all their authority from this original."
- Blackstone
"The first 100 years of American lawyers were trained on Blackstone." - Judge
Edith Jones
"Use
the courts, use the judges, use the
constitution of the country, use
its medical societies and its laws to
further our ends. Do not stint in your labor in this direction. And when you
have succeeded you will discover that you can now effect your own legislation
at will and you can, by careful organization, by constant campaigns about the terrors of
society, by pretense as to your effectiveness, make the corporatist
himself, by his own appropriation, finance a large portion of the quiet
Communist conquest of that nation." - Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria*, The Communist Textbook on
Psychopolitics
"The American legal
system has been corrupted almost beyond recognition.
The question of what is morally right is
routinely sacrificed to what is politically
expedient. The change has come because legal philosophy has descended into nihilism." - Judge
Edith Jones of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit,
speaking to the Federalist Society of Harvard Law School.
"The Framers created a
government of limited power with this understanding of the
rule of law - that it was dependent on
transcendent religious obligation." - Judge Edith Jones
"Judge Edith Jones said that the business about all of the
Founding Fathers being Deists is
misunderstood as they believed in 'faith and reason,'
which did not lead to intolerance. 'This is not a prescription for intolerance
or narrow sectarianism,' Judge Edith Jones continued, 'for unalienable rights
were given by God to all our fellow
citizens. Having lost sight of the
moral and religious
foundations of the rule of law, we are
vulnerable to the destruction of our freedom, our
equality before the law and our self-respect. The legal aristocracy have shed
their professional independence for the temptations of materialism associated with
becoming businessmen. Because law has become
a self-avowed business, pressure mounts to
give clients the advice they want to hear, to pander to the clients' goal
through deft manipulation of the law. While
the business mentality
produces certain benefits, like occasional competition to charge clients lower fees,
other adverse effects include advertising and shameless
self-promotion. The legal system has
also been wounded by lawyers who themselves no longer respect the
rule of law. " - Geraldine Hawkins March
7, 2003
"It is decidedly not Christian to win at any cost." - Kenneth
Starr
"An increasingly visible and vocal number of lawyers apparently
believe that the strategic use of anger and
incivility will achieve their aims. Others seem uninhibited about making
misstatements to the court or their opponents or destroying or
falsifying evidence. When lawyers cannot
be trusted to observe the fair processes essential
to maintaining the rule of law, how can
we expect the public to respect the process?" - Judge Edith Jones
"It's a
given in our democracy that laws should be a
matter of public record. But the law in this country includes not just statutes
and regulations, which the public can readily access. It also includes binding
legal interpretations made
by courts and the executive branch. These
interpretations
are increasingly being withheld from the public and Congress." - Senator
Russell Dana Feingold
"Secret law excludes the public from
the deliberative process, promotes
arbitrary and
deviant government behavior, and shields official malefactors from
accountability." - Steven Aftergood
"The president could ignore or
modify existing executive orders that he and other
presidents have issued without disclosing the new
interpretation." -
John R. Elwood, the Office of Legal Counsel's deputy assistant attorney
general
"This combination - the claimed authority not to comply with the law
and to do so secretly - is a
terrible abuse of powers, without limits and without
checks. It clearly is antithetical to our constitutional democracy." - Dawn Johnsen, former
head of the Office of Legal Counsel
"One of the charges against
King George III in the
Declaration of Independence was
"altering fundamentally the Forms of our
Governments." The oath of Allegiance for New Citizens requires: "I will
support and defend the Constitution and the
laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic ... and bear true faith
and allegiance to the same." But how can that oath be honored if
American citizens, new and old, do not know the
legal standards under which the government is actually operating at any given
moment?" - The Washington Times, editorial May 12, 2008
Although the 1964 Civil Rights Act expressly forbids quotas an
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Alfred Blumrosen* ignored the act and its statutory
prohibition against regulatory
interpretation.
Alfred Blumrosen redefined discrimination to be statistical disparity or
under-utilization of African-Americans demanding that a quota system was
required as reparations for African-Americans. The Supreme Court accepted this
opinion in Griggs v. Duke Power (1971).
Private employment and promotion quotas are held to be legal because of the
fiction that they are 'voluntarily adopted' and not required by federal
statute. They are required, of course, to avoid federal lawsuits. Alfred
Blumrosen's redefinition of discrimination created
'reverse discrimination.' Whites lose opportunities for racial reasons alone.
This modification of the intent of the law is
socially divisive.
law and justice in America Let me here
tell a little tale.
When I first moved back to my hometown I had a run
in with the law, well actually three.
My father sold me his hometown
business and my wife had left me shortly before with two young boys - 3 and 5.
Being unfamiliar with all the posted traffic signs, being away for over seven years,
I happened to not notice one.
I am sitting at the red light waiting to
make a right turn. The cross traffic stops. A
local police officer is waiting at the line. I make my turn when all appears
safe. No aggressiveness, no traffic conflict.
Oops! I did not notice the sign with small print about twelve feet up
the light post: "No right turn on red!"
The local police officer writes
me a ticket and I pay the fine.
Still being unfamiliar with all the
posted traffic signs I happened to not notice
a second one.
A month later I am sitting at a different red light
waiting to make a right turn. The cross traffic stops. A local police officer is waiting
behind me. I make my turn when all appears safe. No aggressiveness, no
traffic conflict.
Oops! I did not
notice the sign with small print about twelve feet up the light post: "No right
turn on red!"
The local police officer writes me a ticket and I pay the
fine.
About two months later I am driving down a main arterial street.
I approach a green light that turns yellow as I cross. A local police officer
on a motorcycle is approaching the intersection from the opposite direction. As
I pass through the intersection the motorcycle officer is approximately a
football field away. The mortorcycle officer turns around, pulls me over and
writes me a ticket for running a red light, which I had not done.
I
appeared at court on the scheduled appearance date.
I challenged the
officer's version of the event.
I post bail.
I appear at court
on the re-scheduled appearance date.
The officer did not appear. As the
officer did not appear the judge dismissed the case.
About two months
later my insurance agent calls to tell me that my auto insurance has been
canceled. I ask why and she replies that within the last 6 months I had
received three moving violations. I know of the two - what about the third?
I appear once again at the court proceedings carried on by the judge
who dismissed my third ticket. I wait until all proceedings are completed and
ask to approach the bench. I explain to the judge my predicament and ask if we
can review the case.
The judge tells me to
return the next day. I return the next
day.
After all other proceedings are
completed the judge calls me to approach the bench.
The judge says the
court paperwork is incomplete as certain court officers have not performed
their duties by carefully recording events.
The judge says that he will
reverse the conviction on the third ticket if I go to
traffic school.
I am stunned as I find out
that I have been convicted, after being told that the infraction was dismissed.
Naturally this leads me to the
conclusion that the judge is incompetent and negligent; dishonest and
corrupt; and really does not care at all about
justice. And I began to wonder how many people have
been falsely accused and convicted in the
American justice system.
And it boggles my mind as I realize this corruption
is much more prevalent than I had ever imagined
as the judge condemned me
unjustly for no apparent reason. I realize if
it can happen to me here it can happen to anyone anywhere within the
justice system at any time.
Blind Justice in America has become deaf,
dumb and blind - see no truth, hear no
truth and speak no truth.

Social Law =
Civilization
Law, as created by
man, is an attempt to create a body of social rules
under which a society or a
civilization lives. For a
civilization to flourish those laws must be
equitable and just.
Human history is
littered with the remains of civilizations that
initially rose due to a set of founding principles, laws, which the
populace initially abided by.
Unfortunately for the civilizations
that crumbled into dust at some point in their
history the law, which may have been oral
or written, that had initially supported and cradled the
civilization became corrupt. At that point the laws that caused the
civilization to sprout and flourish were no
longer enforced or were changed so drastically as to become unjust and
inequitable.
Typically the rulers,
leaders or aristocracy found existing law onerous and failed to either enforce or
follow the law.
This has become true in
America today.
Those with power no longer feel the need to obey the laws that created the civilization
which allowed them to flourish.
Power
corrupts those who possess it - a
sin of pride.
Dick Cheney is an
example of an American aristocrat that
feels laws are bothersome and that he is above
the law. While Dick
Cheney is a fairly wealthy man it was determined
that when he shot his hunting partner in the face in February 2006 he did not
hold the proper tag on his hunting license that gave him the right to shoot the
quail he was purported to be hunting. The tag cost seven dollars which
Dick Cheney could
easily have afforded but he felt the law was onerous and chose to ignore it.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new religious
ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification
of reality outside personal experience has created a populace unable to discern
propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any
group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due
to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of the religion
aptly named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational religion based on reason
which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no
church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to
develop a personal relation with God through the pursuit of the knowledge of
reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the
human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are spelled out in
detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to
their religious beliefs in America is considered a “hate
crime.”
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary
the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world central banking
system, mass media worldwide, the industrial military entertainment complex of
America and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of
self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization
is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through mass media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed
into the population through prior mass media psychological operations. The
results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social
structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the
bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the
corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which
further their purposes.
