Sept. 5 Is Jury Rights Day. Do You Know Yours?

Setp. 5, 2008 To grasp why the Bill of Rights leads off by barring Congress from “establishing” any religion, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” you must understand that in 18th century England there was no “separation of church and state.” The English monarch to this day includes in her title “Fidele Defensor” – Defender of the Faith. Which helps explains why even our right to a jury trial stems directly from this era. In 1670, it was declared illegal to hold a religious gathering or preach a sermon in England which was not a “Church of England” sermon.. » read more

When government suspends "rights" tyranny inevitably follows

July 2008 Idaho Observer History proves that there is always advance warning when governments enter the final stages of transitioning from freedom to tyranny. The three most obvious warnings are sounded when government begins openly spying on people, publicly punishing opinions and raising up standing armies. The U.S. government and its state, county, municipal and corporate minions have legalized unwarranted surveillance, searches and seizures; those who speak and write in opposition to government policies are subject to punishments ranging from character assassination and harassment to prison sentences and sudden, suspicious deaths and; police at all levels are being militarized in dress, weaponry, demeanor and tactics.. » read more

Are cops constitutional and have we been raising and provisioning a standing army in America since the 1850s?

Posted 8/9/08 We are so conditioned to accept the omnipresence of police we have never really considered that the entire construct of criminal justice as we understand it today did not exist during our nation’s founding era. While "surfing" the web on the subject of Blackwater and standing armies, a heavily-footnoted, 19,000-word research paper on cops and the Constitution came up. The following, which is an excerpted version of less than a quarter of the entire work, causes us to rethink our most deeply held beliefs about police, courts, crime and punishment. It also compels us to appreciate the fact that the cornerstone of a free society is the just and true nature of a self-policing populace and that, for our sins as negligent citizens, we have been raising and provisioning a standing army to oppress us for the last 170 years. By Roger Roots Abstract Police work is often lionized by jurists and scholars who claim to employ "textualist" and "originalist" methods of constitutional interpretation.. » read more

Hassled for Carrying a Gun by Wyoming Police

August 9, 2008 A friend was visiting me from out of town. His concealed weapons permit did not have reciprocity with WYO, so he was open carrying. I was carrying concealed - though on several trips to Powell in the past, I have chosen to open carry. We stopped at a video store, then drove around the block and parked a couple of blocks away. We had a long trailer, so couldn't park in front of the restaurant we planned to eat in.. » read more

A Foundation for Panarchy

July 19, 2008 Governments do not have what I call primary or originary rights. Only persons, taken one at a time, have these rights. In the words of Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence: "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." In Jefferson’s theory, Persons have unalienable Rights, to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. If a Government has what appears to be rights, these are powers that are lodged in that Government by a voluntary agreement by those who choose to associate themselves with that Government.. » read more

'Congressman Conyers': A Privileged Resolution on Impeachment

Congressman John Conyers                                                                    July 12, 2008 Chairman House Judiciary Committee U.S House of Representatives Washington D.C   Dear Congressman Conyers, Since my initial letter, of June 18th, 2008  requesting your committee, to vote on Congressman’s Kucinich 35 Articles of Impeachment, there has been a wall of silence from the halls of your chamber. In my previous letter, not that I am in the business of  repetitive jargon, but I quoted some serious allegations, if legislators do not adhere to their Constitutional duty, and their oath of office.  If the House and Senate fail( intentionally and without regard to their constituents wishes) to recognize and adhere to their Constitutional duty, the legislators will be violating their oath of office taken.. » read more
