What could be more arbitrary than a bunch that makes up its own rules, decides on the spot what fine to assess, and changes it tomorrow for someone else? Dont you realize that even under their guise of law you cannot be deprived of freedom or property without due process of law (5th Amendment)? Nor can the enforcers threaten punishment without giving you the Miranda warning first. Remember, what you help them get may be used against you. Nor can they come onto your property to look for evidence against you without a search warrant stamped with an official court seal and signed by the court clerk, and that they must state the place to be searched and state the evidence they seek, nohnally. limited to contraband or stolen material (4th Amendment). Dont you remember that from the beginning (and still) any law or rule that is in conflict with the' plain' intent of the Constitution is null and void and (Article VI, Par. 213)? Dont you remember that any case at common law which concerns $20 or more must go before a jury (if you so insist) before judgment? Do you remember that no powers are given to the federal government except those specifically listed and that by the Constitution they cant force Idaho, Utah, or Wyoming to join them in their non-enforcea- duplicity? The federal government gets authority from the states, who get it from the people, not the other way around. The Constitution limits the power of government in order to prevent this exact wrong and oppressive behavior on the part of OS A. You dont have to keep records for the government, unless they hire you to do so, otherwise it is involuntary servitude. And even if you do keep records, you dont have to produce them as evidence against yourself. (The 5th, remember?) :. C. Reed Ricks ; ' ; Idaho Falls Cant Explain Dear Editor: Some politicians and some commentators would have us believe theres much: wrong with Americanism and' much right with . Communism, But they, never can explain the hundreds .of millions of people who would give everything to move from there to here and have to be held back by the concentration borders the camp-typ- e Communists maintain to keep them in and the restrains and restrictions we have to impose to keep people from flooding in here. Maybe these politicians and commentators never met the people under Communism, only the people who run the Captive Nations? Former Slave Communism 3 In 1967 Lloyd Malan, an internationally respected correspondent, interviewed a dozen or two chiefs of staff of army, navy, and air force and found that these top military leaders were unanimously of the opinion that the war in Vietnam could be concluded in six weeks time, without using nuclear weapons or involving other nations. Their strategy knock out the strategic targets, the military installations, and cut off supplies coming into North Vietnam, mainly through Haiphong Harbor. This was five years ago. Since then we have lost 20 to 30 thousand American boys . . . in vain. Today President Nixon has ruled out a recommendation by his military advisors that the U.S. cut off the main supply route of Soviet tanks, trucks, rockets, and guns and missiles by bombing and mining Haiphong Harbor, the only major seaport in North Vietnam. The president also refuses to let the U.S. Air Force bomb airfields in and near Hanoi where most of the North Vietnamese air force is based. These SU-- 7 aircraft include 20 Soviet-bui- lt medium range These bombers have the capability of hitting U.S. carriers and warships now operating off the coast of North Vietnam. According to the Scott Report, Military intelligence authorities are puzzled over a message the National Security, the governments code breaking organization, - anti-aircra- ft 200-pla- ne fighter-bomber- s. g communist operators in Eastern Europe to a member of the Communist party in Italy. The secret message stressed that Moscow had assurances .from certain high American officials that South Vietnam will be supported with just enough air and naval help to stop the North Vietnamese offensive but not enough military help to permit them to drive the North Vietnamese invaders from their soil. Under this alleged plan of limited U.S. support, South Vietnam President Thieu will then be pressured by the Nixon administration into accepting a coalition government with the communists on the grounds this is the best solution to stop the fighting. By giving the South Vietnamese enough air and naval help to stop the communist offensive from going any deeper into South Vietnam, President Nixon will be able to claim that his Vietnamization program has been a success. Arrangements for the coalition government and an end to the fighting are to be worked out when President Nixon goes to Moscow late in May, according to the intercepted message. President Nixon has refused to let the American military command in Saigon commit to battle the 50,000 elite South Korean combat troops still in South Vietnam. These troops are guarding the coastal areas of South Vietnam and one .large U.S. air base and are the best foreign combat troops in that country. One American officer said, If the South Korean troops are turned loose against the North Vietnamese, they would run back across the Demilitarized Zone within two weeks. Why these South Korean troops are being kept on a U.S. leash is one of the big mysteries of the Vietnam strategy that President Nixon and Dr. Kissinger have developed while they work with the Russians to turn North Vietnams invasion into a Vietnam settlement (coalition settlement). To know what a coalition government with the communists does for a country, look back upon our earlier experiences in East Europe and China. In about 1950 the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee issued a in report called An Anatomy of Communist Take-oveEastern Europe. The subcommittee had interviewed the very top exiled noncommunist leaders from 11 East European countries. Without exception they all testified that in one way or another each free government fell to communism through a form of coalition government with the communists : Most of us are unfamiliar with coalition governments and their formation and operation, since in America we have only two mqjor political parties. In most other countries there are several parties, each having certain representatives (elected) in the parliament. In order to form a government, that is, select a prime minister and cabinet, the representatives from two or three parties, enough to constitute a majority in the parliament, form a coalition government. Each of the parties in the coalition is entitled to a proportionate number of cabinet posts. When the communists are involved on the inside in the coalition thus heading certain cabinet posts, they are in an excellent position to maneuver, pressure, force, blackmail, and terrorize in order to eventually bring about a complete communist take-oveThis they did in eleven East European countries according to the Senate subcommittee report. This the U.S. State Department tried to force upon k a coalition with Mao. When Chiang Chiang refused, knowing that a coalition with the communists the U.S. State usually results in a communist Department disarmed 39 divisions of Chiangs free army, thus causing his retreat from the mainland to Taiwan. History shows that a coalition with the communists of in South Vietnam will lead to a communist take-ovthat free people, yet it is being sold to the American people under the guise of settling the conflict in Vietnam. This spells treason no matter how you look at it. It is treason against those who have sacrificed their lives for a free South Vietnam; treason against the taxpayers of America who have paid billions for deceit, weakness, failure, and a strengthening of communism; treason against the mothers and fathers who have given dear sons in vain for freedom; treason against America and the ideals of truth and freedom she represents. I met a Taiwanese student and a South Vietnamese at the university the other day. I felt like apologizing, like weeping, for what our government is doing to them abandoning them to communism. So, fellow Americans, now is the time for us to show them and the world what Americans really are by electing a Congress that will stand for America, for freedom, for free men everywhere. rs Gettysburg 1970 Version One score and thirty-si- x years . w in little note nor long I ago, our fathers brought forth remember what we pay here, but upon this nation a new tax, the Bureau of Internal Revenue conceived in desperation . and can never forget what we report dedicated to the proposition here. that all men are fair game.

Kai-she- take-ove- r, er Much Lies In You A man who had just moved into a small town in Pennsylvania fell into conversation with an old Quaker who was in the habit of sitting on a bench in the quiet square in the center of the little township. What kind of people live here? asked the newcomer. The old Quaker replied, What kind of Oh, they were mean, people didst thee live amongst before? narrow, suspicious, and very unfair, answered the man. Then, said the Quaker, I am sorry, but thee will find the same manner of people here. Not long after, another newcomer joined him on the bench and asked the same question, and, like his predecessor, was asked, What manner of people didst thee live amongst before? A warm smile spread over the newcomers face. Friend, he answered, they were the best folk in the world. They were always friendly, kind, and lovable, and I hated to leave them. The old Quaker beamed, Welcome, neighbor, he said. Be of good cheer, for thee will find the same people Youth s Living Ideals here. - Page 3 intercepted while being transmitted from one of the top high-rankin- yfrflook government regulations The UTAH INDEPENDENT |
