The judge will sneer at the mention of the Constitution, and usually forbid its mention in the courtroom, going so far as to say that it is irrelevant. He will demand that the Defendant be represented by counsel and that counsel be a licensed (by the State that is trying him) member of the State Bar. He will refuse to accept motions that he would ordinarily accept as a matter of course from a licensed lawyer. He will insist that all statuatory laws issuing from the Executive branch, and all codes operating from those executive (not legislative) laws, like the IRS code and allow OSHA, are their validity and constitutionality to be tested, or even questioned. (One Federal judge went so far as to say that the courtroom was not the place to determine law. Where is the place it should be questioned?) He will prejudice the jury by the oath he administers and by his instructions to the jury, not ever allowing the jury to consider law, only fact, contrary to the original purpose of the jury system. (When the jury cannot determine law, what results is a de facto directed verdict by the judge. The jury becomes extraneous.) And the judge will hold the citizen in contempt of court for standing behind his constitutional rights, especially the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, which protect privacy and private property.

Later, he became a successful businessman, after which he volunteered again to serve his country. His rise to the rank of Colonel was rapid. He endured great hardships and severe wounds. He made Brigadier General. His brilliant exploits made him one of the nations most talked-abou- t soldiers and a friend and confidant of the President. He helped , affairs by the King and ministry. For many years, patriots and other squares have called Benedict Arnold Americas Number One Traitor. This must stop! It is unfair to all our other traitors, living and dead.' It is outdated.

Expert legal opinions state that over 80 of food supplements presently sold in health food stores and other outlets would be illegal and automatically eliminated. This is a matter of whether or not the citizen has the right to determine what food he wishes to include in his diet to fit his particular need. In view of the fact that the public is freely bombarded by advertisements for drugs of very questionable safety, this attempt by the FDA to control the use of non-toxfood supplements is ic another attempt by our In 1780, Arnold received command at West Point, a vital position on the Hudson river, which position he offered to surrender to the Presidents Kennedy, Andre.

General Eisenhower, to turn over 3.000.000 Russians. anti-Communi- st Continued On Page 6 Webster defines usurp as, ...in possession by force or without right; to seize or exercise authority or possession wrongfully. Usurpation, then, is the exercise of power by an officer or agent of government without legal authority. This raises the question of when is an agent of government acting with legal authority and when is he acting without it. Under American constitutional law, a government agent is acting legally only when he is acting in pursuance of a constitutional law. And not all laws are constitutional. This is the big difference between constitutional law and governments ruled by dictators or monarchs. For under the latter, the agents may do to the people whatever the ruler decrees. But the constitution serves as a bar (or it would if enforced) to tyrannical action by making the government agent subject to the law and its consequences. This is stated as follows: Since an unconstitutional lav is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it.... A government agent, then, acting either on his own initiative or under an unconstitutional statute is exercising power without legal authority. This is usurpation, which is, in effect, trespassing upon the rights of others. This is sometimes referred to as a crime. Some examples of Usurpation The agency of the government which constantly exercises power without legal authority and is close to everybody is the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS falls under the executive branch of government, yet they write laws and enforce them with their, courts. Both of these functions are reserved to the congress and the courts by the Constitution. IRS agents confiscate property, seize bank accounts, impose liens and commit many, other acts habitually without court orders, legal authority, or due process of law. A newer but equally as vicious agency as the IRS has been created within the past two years. This is the Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Department of Labor, referred to as O.S.H.A. O.S.H.A. exercises dictatorial power over all businesses in America. They accuse, judge, and fine without due process of law. President Nixon has even created an O.S.H.A. court within the Department of Labor, which is also under the executive branch. O.S.H.A. has put many businesses out of business and has imposed severe penalties upon others, all without due process of law. This is usurpation; the exercise of powers not legally authorized by the law, which is the Constitutuion of the United States.1 What is the Ultimate Result of Usurpation? Every act of usurpation is an imposition upon the rights of one or more citizens and is therefore a crime. As it is contrary to the Constitution, if it is allowed to continue, it in effect changes our form of government. And this is what is happening. Our constitutional form of government is being changed to a socialist totalitaaian state by usurpation. There are several reason for this being allowed to happen, one of which is the fact that the courts protect . rather than prosecute the government agents who are offenders. The defense the offenders use is sovereign immunity, which has no place in America, and is a serious threat to law, order, and our form of government. . . Next Week: Sovereign Immunity : |
