"No Legitimate Issue, Mr. Jablonski?" by Paul Andrew Mitchell, Private Attorney General

"No Legitimate Issue, Mr. Jablonski?

by

Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
Private Attorney General, 18 U.S.C. 1964

 

January 27, 2011 A.D.



"No legitimate issue, Mr. Jablonski?

We the People are compelled to differ emphatically with you now.

The judicial Power of the United States shall extend to all matters
that arise under the Constitution, laws and treaties of the United States.
See Article III.

The correct legal meaning of "United States" in all 3 Qualifications Clause
has been properly adjudicated:  this is obviously a matter that arises
under the Constitution for the United States of America --
the proper name of that supreme Law.

Those Qualifications Clauses have never been amended --
not between 1788 and 1866, and not between 1866 and now.

As such, they still retain today the meaning which they had
when those Clauses were first ratified into supreme Law
on June 21, 1788.

What attorneys like you are desperately trying to conceal
is the rather obvious fact that the 1866 Civil Rights Act
did not and could not amend the U.S. Constitution
under any circumstances:

Congress cannot by legislation alter the Constitution
from which alone it derives its power to legislate,
and within whose limitations alone that power can be
lawfully exercised.  Eisner v. Macomber

And, even if it were constitutional -- which is now in very serious doubt --
the 1866 Civil Rights Act did NOT confer State Citizenship upon
any black Americans who were freed by the Thirteenth Amendment
banning slavery and involuntary servitude.

It could not do so, because the Supreme Court had already decided that question
just 10 years earlier:

Congress could not remove the obstacles identified in the Dred Scott decision
solely by means of Federal legislation enacted by that Body.

Instead, a second and clearly inferior class of federal citizens
were created de facto by that 1866 Civil Rights Act: prior to that Act,
there was no such thing as a "citizen of the United States".
Ex parte Knowles

Moreover, and of even great legal significance,
Congress committed fraud by attempting to make it appear
that this second, inferior class of federal citizens were
somehow equal in status to the primary class of State Citizens
who had existed at least since 1788.

That pretense was impossible to maintain forever, chiefly because
federal citizenship has been correctly described as a municipal franchise
domiciled in the District of Columbia, where the Guarantee Clause --
strictly construed -- does not require Congress to guarantee a
Republican Form of Government.

There, Congress was free to create a legislative democracy,
and so it has.

To make matters even worse, certain fanatical politicians have
promoted the false and rebuttable notion that the Constitution
does not apply inside D.C. -- even though Congress expressly
extended the entire Constitution there in 1871:  what arrogance!

This resulted in ripping the Nation in two separate and unequal parts:
(1) the Constitutional Republic guaranteed to the several States, and
(2) the Legislative Democracy created specifically for "subjects"
of the District of Columbia and the other, very limited geographic areas
where Congress is the local Legislature.

Lastly, it is now well established and also proven beyond the shadow
of any doubt, that Congress has frequently enacted legislation that was
municipal in nature and thereby very limited in its geographic reach,
but it was deliberately written to make it appear AS IF that legislation
applied throughout the several (now 50) States of the Union.
Cf. "The Federal Zone: Cracking the Code of Internal Revenue"
for a mountain of proof, including also the advice of "legal experts"
employed by the Federal government.

This was also fraud on the part of Congress;  and,
there is no statute of limitations for fraud of this kind
particularly when it is massive, far-reaching and spans
multiple generations between 1866 and now.

Lastly, it is now established judicial precedent that
the term "United States" has 3 distinct legal meanings,
each different from the other two.  Hooven & Allison v. Evatt

By failing to define which of those three was intended
for the term "citizen of the United States", Congress
engaged in vague and deceptive practices -- all of which
can and should be rendered null and void ab initio pursuant
to the Void for Vagueness Doctrine.  See Sixth Amendment.

And, such unconstitutionality dates from the moment of enactment
-- ab initio -- not from any decision(s) so branding the Act(s) in question.

Sorry, Congress:  but the Law as written required all of you
to honor and obey these fundamental Principles with permanent fidelity:
by violating them, blatantly and repeatedly, you have abandoned
your authority and left it to conscientious Americans to clean up
the gigantic mess you have left to Us for generations to come.


Sincerely yours,

Wow - Is there a trend beginning to form???
===========================================================
 

ANOTHER CRACK IN THE WALL
Alabama citizens have filed a lawsuit within the Alabama Circuit Court to "prevent certification of President Barack Obama for 2012 Alabama ballot access pending final hearing based on factual evidentiary hearings."
The deadline for any candidate to register to appear on the Alabama Presidential Primary ballot is just days away, but by agreeing to hear the case, the Alabama Courts have effectively stalled any efforts by the Democratic Party to place Obama on the ballot.
Just as important is the fact that the Court did indeed accept the case. By agreeing to hear the case, the Court appears to have recognized that the defendants, ordinary Alabama citizens, do in fact have standing. In many previous eligibility cases, courts have ruled that ordinary citizens did not have standing, in other words were not sufficiently harmed by the actions of the defendant and therefore had no legal right to bring their case before the courts. The actions of this Alabama Court is a game changer in that the legal system has finally recognized that ordinary citizens CAN be harmed and DO have the right to protest unconstitutional actions committed at the highest levels of Federal government.
KEEP INELIGIBLE OBAMA OFF 2012 ELECTION BALLOTS - FAX THE STATES NOW!
This case could revolutionize the legal system AND return the judiciary to the duty our Founding Fathers intended - protecting the citizenry from Federal power mongering.
As we have said for so long, the power to defeat the Usurper in Chief lies with the STATES. We MUST continue to push all the other states to DEMAND PROOF POSITIVE evidence of eligibility from any Presidential candidate who desires to appear on State ballots.
GEORGIA SECRETARY OF STATE
DEMANDS PROOF POSITIVE!
Georgia becomes the first state to pursue Obama ineligibility complaints and the end result may keep Barack Obama OFF the Georgia 2012 ballot!
KEEP INELIGIBLE OBAMA OFF 2012 ELECTION BALLOTS - FAX THE STATES NOW!
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp's office is pursuing FIVE separate ineligibility complaints filed by Georgia residents. Each complaint argues that Barack Hussein Obama II is ineligible to appear on the 2012 Georgia Presidential ballot. Secretary Kemp has assigned 5 different hearings under five different judges, so that the complaints can move forward.
FAILURE TO APPEAR ON THE GEORGIA BALLOT WOULD COST OBAMA DEVASTATING MEDIA, AND 15 ELECTORAL VOTES!
As our Founding Fathers intended, it is the States which protect us from all out tyranny. The federal election in 2012 and the constitutional eligibility of the candidates is no different. In the end, OUR STATES are responsible for ensuring the eligibility of candidates and OUR STATES will protect us from the tyranny of a Presidential usurper.
KEEP INELIGIBLE OBAMA OFF 2012 ELECTION BALLOTS - FAX THE STATES NOW!
With primary season about to hit full swing, time is running short. We MUST compel more states to follow Georgia and Alabama's lead and DEMAND PROOF POSITIVE ELIGIBILITY for ANY candidate placed on election ballots.
America cannot survive further trampling of our right to constitutionally eligible leadership. WE MUST ACT NOW!
The White House's badly forged "birth certificate" has not ended the debate on Barack Obama's eligibility. Rather, it has opened the door for further allegations of fraud and ineligibility. Georgia resident Kevin R. Powell wrote in his complaint, "Barack Hussein Obama II has publicly admitted his father Barack Obama Sr. was a Kenyan native and a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. Barack Obama Sr. never became a U.S. citizen. Therefore, Barack Hussein Obama II is not now and never can be a natural born citizen of the United States…."
Citizen Powell is correct that the legal question of natural born citizenship is unresolved in American jurisprudence, and in the nefarious case of Barack Hussein Obama sits as a gaping wound to the Constitution's integrity, and to our ordered liberty. America is left in an abject posture of unprecedented vulnerability to our national security, sovereignty and prosperity UNLESS AND UNTIL THIS CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS IS RESOLVED!
We MUST continue the outcry to determine the truth, and restore the Constitution.
KEEP INELIGIBLE OBAMA OFF 2012 ELECTION BALLOTS - FAX ALL STATES NOW!
YOUR FAXES helped to compel the States of Georgia and Alabama into action. We must now apply the same pressure to the rest of the 49 states and DEMAND PROOF POSITIVE
WND) - Barack Obama has announced through his attorney that he will boycott the administrative hearings scheduled tomorrow in Georgia to review evidence of whether he legitimately is a candidate for the presidency, prompting an attorney for one set of the plaintiffs to describe the nation's commander-in-chief as acting like a "5-year-old brat."
A letter apparently from his lawyer, Michael Jablonski, was posted today on the website for California attorney Orly Taitz, whose determined pursuit of Obama's eligibility documentation has taken her to courts across the nation, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
Jablonski told Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp in the letter that "serious problems" had developed in the hearings "pending before the Office of State Administration Hearings."
He said, "At issue in these hearings are challenges that allege that President Obama is not eligible to hold or run for re-election to his office, on the now wholly discredited theory that he does not meet the citizenship requirements."
Jablonski said the judge - who previously rejected Obama's demand to quash a subpoena for him to appear and bring with him his birth records documenting his status as a "natural-born citizen" - has "exercised no control" over the proceeding.
"It threatens to degenerate into a pure forum for political posturing to the detriment of the reputation of the state and your office. Rather than bring this matter to a rapid conclusion, the ALJ has insisted on agreeing to a day of hearings, and on the full participation of the president in his capacity as a candidate," Jablonski wrote.
In a response that was posted online after hours, Kemp said the case referral was "in keeping with Georgia law."
"As you are aware, OSAH Rule 616-1-2-.17 cited in your letter only applies to parties to a hearing. As the referring agency, the Secretary of State's Office is not a party to the candidate challenge hearings scheduled for tomorrow. To the extent a request to withdraw the case referral is procedurally available, I do not believe such a request would be judicious given the hearing is set for tomorrow morning."
He continued, "I expect the administrative law judge to report his findings to me after his full consideration of the evidence and law. Upon receipt of the report, I will fully and fairly review the entire record and initial decision of the administrative law judge."
He also had a warning about the costs of simply not showing up for a court hearing.
"Anything you and your client place in the record in response to the challenge will be beneficial to my review of the initial decision; however, if you and your client choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril."
"We await your taking the requested action, and as we do so, we will, of course, suspend further participation in these proceedings, including the hearing scheduled for January 26," Jablonski wrote in the letter on the Taitz site, which indicated it had been sent to the participants in the case.
A blast of sarcasm aimed at Obama also was posted on the Taitz site.
"What Obama is asking now is totally insane," it said. "He is asking the secretary of state of GA to take the trial away from the judge on the eve of the trial. He is mostly crying on the shoulder of the secretary of state of GA and saying that Orly is bad, because she issued all of those subpoenas. So after the judge told Obama that the subpoena that I issued was perfectly valid and he had to appear in court tomorrow and bring with him all of the documents that I demanded, Obama decided to go behind the back of the judge and send the same complaint about me to the secretary of state and he is asking the secretary of state to take the trial away from the judge.
"Does this look like a behavior of an innocent person? An innocent person would have come to court and showed all the valid documents with the embossed seals, which are verifiable," the statement said. "Instead he is acting like a 5-year-old brat, saying, 'I am afraid of Orly, I want the secretary of state of GA to act like my mommy and protect me from Orly.' Some leader of the free world."
The hearings are being brought by citizens of Georgia under a state law that allows voters to challenge the eligibility of candidates on the state's ballot. It is the states that run elections in America, and national elections are just a compilation of the results of the 50 state elections.
The schedule for the hearings was set by Judge Michael Malihi of the Georgia state Office of State Administrative Hearings. In Georgia, a state law requires "every candidate for federal" office who is certified by the state executive committees of a political party or who files a notice of candidacy "shall meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought."
State law also grants the secretary of state and any "elector who is eligible to vote for a candidate" in the state the authority to raise a challenge to a candidate's qualifications, the judge determined.
Citizens bringing the complaints include David Farrar, Leah Lax, Thomas Malaren and Laurie Roth, represented by Taitz; David Weldon represented by attorney Van R. Irion of Liberty Legal Foundation; and Carl Swensson and Kevin Richard Powell, represented by J. Mark Hatfield. Cody Judy is raising a challenge because he also wants to be on the ballot.
Jablonski told Kemp he should simply "withdraw" the original hearing request as "improvidently issued."
"It is well established that there is no legitimate issue here - a conclusion validated time and again by courts around the country. The state of Hawaii produced official records documenting birth there; the president made documents available to the general public by placing them on his website," he wrote.
Jablonski accused Malihi of allowing the attorneys to "run amok."
"Perhaps he is aware that there is no credible response; perhaps he appreciates that the very demand made of his office - that it address constitutional issues - is by law not within its authority."
Obama, meanwhile, has a campaign trip to several Midwest and Western states lined up over the next few days.
WND reported earlier on the stunning decision from Malihi, who refused to quash the subpoena even after Obama outlined his defense strategy for such state-level challenges, which have erupted in half a dozen or more states already.
"Presidential electors and Congress, not the state of Georgia, hold the constitutional responsibility for determining the qualifications of presidential candidates," Obama's lawyer argued. "The election of President Obama by the presidential electors, confirmed by Congress, makes the documents and testimony sought by plaintiff irrelevant."
The judge thought otherwise.
"Defendant argues that 'if enforced, [the subpoena] requires him to interrupt duties as president of the United States' to attend a hearing in Atlanta, Georgia. However, defendant fails to provide any legal authority to support his motion to quash the subpoena to attend," he wrote in his order.
"Defendant's motion suggests that no president should be compelled to attend a court hearing. This may be correct. But defendant has failed to enlighten the court with any legal authority," the judge continued.
"Specifically, defendant has failed to cite to any legal authority evidencing why his attendance is 'unreasonable or oppressive, or that the testimony … [is] irrelevant, immaterial, or cumulative and unnecessary to a party's preparation or presentation at the hearing, or that basic fairness dictates that the subpoena should not be enforced,'" the judge said.
Separately, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona told WND he also had received a subpoena to be at the hearings in Georgia. He said the purpose apparently is to ask him about his Cold Case Posse investigation of Obama's eligibility, but he said since the investigation remains open, he wouldn't be able to say much about it.
Hatfield also had filed with the court a "Notice to Produce" asking for Obama's documents and records.
He wants one of the two original certified copies of Obama's long-form birth certificate.
Obama's attorney, Jablonski, also had argued that the state should mind its own business.
"The sovereignty of the state of Georgia does not extend beyond the limits of the State. … Since the sovereignty of the state does not extend beyond its territorial limits, an administrative subpoena has no effect," the filing argued.
Taitz's supporters joined a discussion on her website, where she also solicits support for the expenses of her court cases, judging that Obama is on the defensive.
"What a joke. He claims to be too busy performing the duties of the president of the United States. How many days of vacation has he taken? How many rounds of golf? If he is too busy to provide the documents that provide the basis for meeting the requirements of the office, then perhaps he better sit out the next four years," said one.
Wrote another, "The election of President Obama by the presidential electors, confirmed by Congress, makes the documents and testimony sought by plaintiff irrelevant. … This is complete utter nonsense!"
In fact, a presidential elector in California brought a lawsuit challenging Obama's eligibility at the time of the 2008 election and was told the dispute was not yet ripe because the inauguration hadn't taken place. The courts later ruled that the elector lost his "standing" to bring the lawsuit after the inauguration.
Irion said his argument is that the Founders clearly considered a "natural-born citizen," as the Constitution requires of a president and no one else, to be the offspring of two citizen parents. Since Obama himself has written in his books that his father, Barack Obama Sr. was a Kenyan, and thus subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, Irion argues that Obama is disqualified under any circumstances based on his own testimony.
Those who argue against his birth in the United States note that numerous experts have given testimony and sworn statements that they believe Obama's Hawaiian birth documentation to be fraudulent.
It is that concern that also has prompted Arpaio to turn over an investigation of that issue to his Cold Case Posse. Its investigative report is expected to be released in the next few weeks.
The image released by the White House in April:
Obama long-form birth certificate released April 27 by the White House
Top constitutional expert Herb Titus contends that a "natural-born citizen" is born of parents who are citizens. That argument also is supported by a 19th-century U.S. Supreme Court decision, Minor v. Happersett in 1875. The case includes one of very few references in the nation's archives that addresses the definition of "natural-born citizen."
That case states: "The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners."
An extensive analysis of the issue was conducted by Titus, who has taught constitutional law, common law and other subjects for 30 years at five different American Bar Association-approved law schools. He also was the founding dean of the College of Law at Regent University, a trial attorney and special assistant U.S. attorney in the Department of Justice.
"'Natural born citizen' in relation to the office of president, and whether someone is eligible, was in the Constitution from the very beginning," he said. "Another way of putting it; there is a law of the nature of citizenship. If you are a natural born citizen, you are a citizen according to the law of nature, not according to any positive statement in a Constitution or in a statute, but because of the very nature of your birth and the very nature of nations."
If you "go back and look at what the law of nature would be or would require … that's precisely what a natural born citizen is …. is one who is born to a father and mother each of whom is a citizen of the U.S. or whatever other country," he said.
"Now what we've learned from the Hawaii birth certificate is that Mr. Obama's father was not a citizen of the United States. His mother was, but he doesn't qualify as a natural born citizen for the office of president."

"The United States in these provisions, means the States united." Judge Pablo De La Guerra, People v. De La Guerra

 
     As  it   was  the   adoption  of  the  Constitution  by  the
Conventions of nine States that established and created the
United States***, it is obvious there could not then have
existed any person who had been seven years a citizen of the
United States***, or who possessed the Presidential
qualifications of being thirty-five years of age, a natural
born citizen, and fourteen years a resident of the United
States***. The United States*** in these provisions, means
the States united.
To be twenty-five years of age, and for
seven years to have been a citizen of one of the States
which ratifies the Constitution, is the qualification of a
representative. To be a natural born citizen of one of the
States which shall ratify the Constitution, or to be a
citizen of one of said States at the time of such
ratification, and to have attained the age of thirty-five
years, and to have been fourteen years a resident within one
of
the said States, are the Presidential qualifications,
according to the true meaning of the Constitution.

A Collection of Court Authorities
in re
Two Classes of Citizens
                             by
 
                Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
            (All Rights Reserved without
Prejudice)
 
Before the 14th amendment [sic] in 1868:
   A citizen of any one of the States of the union,  is held to
   be, and  called a  citizen of  the United  States,  although
   technically and  abstractly there  is no  such  thing.
   To conceive a citizen of the United States who is not a citizen
   of some  one of  the States, is totally foreign to the idea,
   and inconsistent  with the  proper construction  and  common
   understanding of the expression as used in the Constitution,
   which must  be deduced  from its  various other  provisions.
   The object then to be attained, by the exercise of the power
   of naturalization,  was to  make citizens  of
the respective
   States.
                          [Ex Parte Knowles, 5 Cal. 300 (1855)]
                                          [bold emphasis added]

 
   It is true, every person, and every class and description of
   persons, who  were at  the  time  of  the  adoption  of  the
   Constitution recognized  as  citizens in the several States,
   became also  citizens of  this new political body;  but none
   other;   it was  formed by  them,   and for  them and  their
   posterity, but for no one else.  And the personal rights and
   privileges  guarantied   [sic
to   citizens  of  this  new
   sovereignty  were intended to  embrace  those only  who were
   then members of the several state communities, or who should
   afterwards, by  birthright  or  otherwise,  become  members,
   according to  the provisions  of the  Constitution  and  the
   principles on which it was founded.
              [Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 393, 404 (1856)]
                                               [emphasis added]
 
... [F]or  it is  certain, that  in the  sense in  which the word
"Citizen" is  used in  the federal Constitution, "Citizen of each
State," and  "Citizen
of  the United  States***," are convertible
terms;   they mean  the same  thing;   for "the  Citizens of each
State are  entitled to  all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens
in
the  several States,"  and "Citizens  of the United States***"
are, of course, Citizens of all the United States***.
                   [44 Maine 518 (1859), Hathaway, J. dissenting]
                    [italics in
original, underlines & C's added]

After the 14th amendment [sic] in 1868:

It is  quite clear,  then, that 
there is  a citizenship  of  the
United States**  and a citizenship of a State, which are distinct
from each  other and  which depend upon different characteristics
or circumstances in the
individual.
                              [Slaughter House Cases, 83 U.S. 36]
                                          [(1873) emphasis added]

The  first  clause  of  the  fourteenth  amendment  made  negroes
citizens of 
the United  States**, and  citizens of  the State in
which they  reside, and  thereby created two classes of citizens,
one of the United States** and the other of the state.
                             [Cory et al. v. Carter, 48 Ind. 327]
                              [(1874) headnote 8, emphasis added]

We have  in our  political system  a  Government  of  the  United
States** and  a government  of each  of the several States.  Each
one of  these
governments  is distinct  from the others, and each
has citizens of its own ....
                                [U.S. v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542]
                                          [(1875) emphasis added]

One may  be a  citizen of  a State  and yet  not a citizen of the
United States.  Thomasson v. State, 15 Ind. 449;  Cory v. Carter,
48 Ind.  327 (17  Am. R. 738);  McCarthy v. Froelke, 63 Ind. 507;
In Re Wehlitz, 16 Wis. 443.
                             [McDonel v. State, 90 Ind. 320, 323]
                                        [(1883) underlines added]

A person who is a citizen of the United States** is necessarily a
citizen of  the particular  state in  which he  resides.   But  a
person may  be a  citizen of a particular state and not a citizen
of the  United States**.   To  hold otherwise would be to deny to
the state  the highest  exercise of its sovereignty, -- the right
to declare who are its citizens.
                               [State v. Fowler, 41 La. Ann. 380]
                                [6 S. 602 (1889), emphasis added]
 
The first  clause of  the fourteenth  amendment  of  the  federal
Constitution made  negroes citizens  of the  United States**, and
citizens of  the state  in which they reside, and thereby created
two classes of citizens, one of the United States** and the other
of the state.
                              [4 Dec. Dig. '06, p. 1197, sec. 11]
                              ["Citizens" (1906), emphasis added]
 
There are,  then, under  our republican  form of  government, two
classes of  citizens, one  of the  United States** and one of the
state.  One class of  citizenship may  exist in a person, without
the other,  as in  the case  of a  resident of  the  District  of
Columbia;  but both classes usually exist in the same person.
                   [Gardina v. Board of Registrars, 160 Ala. 155]
                          [48 S. 788, 791 (1909), emphasis added]
 
There is a distinction between citizenship of the United States**
and citizenship  of a  particular state,  and a person may be the
former without being the latter.
                               [Alla v. Kornfeld, 84 F.Supp. 823]
                        
     [(1949) headnote 5, emphasis added]
 
A person  may be  a citizen of the United States** and yet be not
identified or identifiable as a citizen of any particular state.
                                         [Du Vernay v. Ledbetter]
                                   [61 So.2d 573, emphasis added]

... citizens  of the  District of  Columbia were  not granted the
privilege of  litigating in  the federal  courts on the ground of
diversity of  citizenship.   Possibly no 
better reason  for this
fact exists  than  such citizens were  not  thought of  when  the
judiciary article  [III] of the federal Constitution was drafted.
... citizens of the United States** ... were also not thought of;
but in  any event  a citizen of the United States**, who is not a
citizen of any state, is not within the language of the [federal]
Constitution.
                            [Pannill v. Roanoke, 252 F. 910, 914]
                                                 [emphasis added]

"The Brown View is Flawed: Exposing an Attorney’s Habitual Mistakes," by Paul Andrew Mitchell, Private Attorney General (circa 5/29/2011)

http://www.supremelaw.org/authors/mitchell/Brown.View.Flawed.htm

The Brown View is Flawed:
Exposing an Attorney’s Habitual Mistakes
 
by
 
Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
Private Attorney General, 18 U.S.C. 1964(a)
 
 
Summary:  This article exposes several widespread errors that appear in attorney Ellen Brown’s article entitledJapan shows how to defuse debt time-bomb,” as published in The Asia Times on May 28, 2011.
 
 
Beginning any article with a dubious quote by a former Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve is one way to demonstrate a writer’s habitual bias.  Ellen Brown quotes Alan S. Blinder as wondering why any responsible person would “flirt” with the idea of “threatening default” on a government’s debts.  Right out of the gate, Brown and Blinder appear to be disconnected with some key historical facts.
Number one, the U.S. Federal government was secretly bankrupted in the year 1933, exactly 20 years after the Federal Reserve Act was pushed through Congress under very questionable circumstances.  Instead of telling the truth, Brown repeats the same old song and dance that FDR declared a “bank holiday” and took the U.S. off the gold standard.  Brown also prefers to conceal that secret bankruptcy.
Attorneys are supposed to be officers of the Courts, and they are also charged with knowledge of the law.  House Joint Resolution 192 was only a Resolution, and Resolutions are not Acts of Congress.
Number two, in March 2009 the U.S. Federal government did publicly admit bankruptcy by declaring its insolvency before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington State.  Specifically, the United States declared its insolvency with respect to obligations allegedly owed to the Federal Reserve banks.
This formal declaration was done for some very important legal and historical reasons.  Chief among those reasons are the lack of any Act of Congress which creates a specific liability for income taxes imposed by subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the key bankruptcy law which activates an automatic STAY prohibiting any further collection efforts by a bankrupt debtor’s creditors.
Number three, Federal income taxes are not being used to pay for any Federal government services.  The Grace Commission found that those funds were being used to pay for interest on the Federal debt, and income transfer payments to beneficiaries of entitlement programs like Federal pension plans.
It is here where Brown takes another giant detour from reality and repeats another insidious lie, namely that “the Federal Reserve now returns the interest it receives to the government.”  It is sheer nonsense to confuse a law, on the one hand, and compliance with that law, on the other hand.  The gangsters who currently rule the roosts on Wall Street have never seen a law they didn’t like to break.
Brown’s is another truly astounding statement, particularly in light of the fact that the Federal Reserve has never been audited.  And, despite courageous efforts by Rep. Ron Paul and his Co-Sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives, it does not appear that the Federal Reserve will be audited any time soon either.
So, it is rather disingenuous to claim that the FED “returns the interest to the government” when no audit confirming that claim has ever been done, not since the birth of the FED in 1913, right up to now and most probably tomorrow too!
The FED really should be abolished immediately: spending millions in taxes on an audit of the FED is a gigantic waste of time and money.  It assumes cooperation on the part of “banksters” who have already demonstrated their own habitual contempt for the rule of law in America, spanning many generations.
If you have any doubts about the last sentence, just treat yourself to a careful viewing of the film “Inside Job,” directed by Charles Ferguson.  While you’re watching that excellent film, do yourself a favor and make a list of all the key players who refused to be interviewed during its production.
Now, onto the biggest error in Brown’s superficial article:  allow the Treasury to borrow directly from its own central bank, interest free.
In point of fact, what Americans will never hear from Wall Street partisans like “Mr. Blunder” is the direct coupling that currently exists between money creation in America, and increases in the debt ceiling authorized by Congress.
This coupling is diabolical at best, chiefly because Congress has already enacted laws which expressly define Federal Reserve Notes as “obligations of the United States”.
Obligations to whom?  Obligations to what?  You ask!
Instead of allowing the Federal Reserve to perpetrate its long standing structural thefts from the American People one more day, the solution which all Americans need to contemplate is utterly simple in its effectiveness:  the Bureau of Engraving and Printing needs to stop printing U.S. bonds that end up in the hands of corrupt banksters, and start printing U.S. Notes that end up in the hands of Federal employees and Federal government contractors -- for services rendered.
Brown is correct about this one thing:  such U.S. Notes can and should be issued “interest free”.  This simply means that U.S. Notes will not be legally defined as “obligations of the United States”.  Certainly not to a central bank which is corrupt from head to toe, and has been ever since its creation in 1913, to say nothing of the predatory tendencies of this private syndicate’s major stockholders.
Those major stockholders have already become filthy rich from this systematic rip-off; it’s time they politely removed themselves from the financial stages of America, and elsewhere in the world too.
Lastly, all Federal Reserve Notes, currently circulating anywhere on planet Earth at the present time, need to be recalled in a generous, well publicized and non-invasive program of over-the-counter exchanges, one-for-one, in which all American banks and financial institutions are authorized to participate.
The U.S. Treasury already knows how to write rules, and the Regulations required to implement this recall of FRNs are a simple and straightforward task for many career public servants employed by that Department.  If they balk at this simple task, they should be retired and replaced with public servants who can and will do it right.

Is the Judicial Branch Dead?

Is the Judicial Branch Dead?

Juan,

One of my earliest childhood memories is of my parents talking about Nixon and the Watergate scandal. I remember the newspaper headline: “Nixon Resigns!” President Nixon’s fight against court subpoenas made international news. Yesterday President Obama completely ignored a court subpoena, and the world shrugged.

Obama’s behavior yesterday is even more disturbing than Nixon’s. Nixon at least respected the judicial branch enough to have his attorney’s show up in court and follow procedure. Nixon’s fight in the courts followed existing law. Nixon acknowledged the authority of the judicial branch even while he fought it. Obama, on the other hand, essentially said yesterday that the judicial branch has no power over him. He ordered his attorneys to stay away from the hearing. He didn’t petition a higher court in a legitimate attempt to stay the hearing. Instead he showed complete contempt for the entire judicial branch and for the rule of law. Rather than respecting the legal process, Obama went around the courts and tried to put political pressure directly on the Georgia Secretary of State. When that failed, he simply ignored the judicial branch completely.

The rule of law, and our three-branch system of government, now hang in the balance. If the Georgia court issues a ruling on the merits and an order finding Obama in contempt of court, and if that contempt order actually results in real punishment of some kind, then we will still have a Constitutional Republic. If this doesn’t happen, then Obama will have been rewarded for showing complete contempt for the judicial branch.

Understand that the goal of the Georgia ballot challenge was to have a court rule on the merits of the Constitutional question: Does the term “natural born citizen” in Article II of the Constitution require a Presidential candidate to have two parents that were U.S. citizens at the time the candidate was born? Obama wants to avoid having a court rule on this question. That is why he didn’t show up and ordered his attorneys to not show up. Obama was hoping that the Georgia court would enter a default judgment rather than rule on the merits. If the court enters a default judgment, Obama will have succeeded in avoiding the Constitutional eligibility question. He will then appeal the default judgment, get the appellate court to suspend the default judgment pending appeal, and then delay the appeal until after the primary. This is undoubtedly Obama’s plan.

If the Georgia Court rules that Supreme Court precedent must be followed and therefore Obama simply does not meet the minimum Constitutional requirements to hold the office of President, then we will at least have succeeded in finding one court in the nation willing to do its job. If that court finds Obama in contempt of court, then we still have three viable branches of government. The Georgia court has the authority to do both of these things. The world should be holding its breath.

Unfortunately the world is apparently unaware that our great Republic is on life support. The Roman Empire died a slow death. It’s death was so gradual that few people living at that time probably noticed the individual events that marked the death throes of that great empire. Apparently the same is true of America. Yesterday marked a stunning turn of events in the constant power struggle between the three branches of our government. Our President openly showed that he believes he is completely above the law. I wonder if the court even noticed its own death certificate. We will see in a few days.

I will certainly try to explain this to the court in our proposed findings of fact and law that the court requested we file before February 5th. Please pray with me that Judge Malihi rules on the merits of our case.

All of your encouragement and prayers have been greatly appreciated. They are needed even more over the next few weeks. This battle is FAR from over. And it has taken on importance beyond what we predicted (which is truly astounding). Please tell everyone you know about Obama’s contempt of the judicial branch. Please explain to them what it really means. Even those that agree with Obama politically and disagree with our ballot challenge should be shocked, appalled, and scared of Obama’s contempt for the judicial system.

SIDE BAR

Many of you have asked about how the Minor v. Happersett definition of natural born citizen effects the eligibility of Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio to be President. First, let me reiterate that the Constitution should be applied to everyone equally. So, if Mitt, Marco, or anyone else meets the definition of Natural Born Citizen, they meet the minimum Constitutional qualifications to serve as President. If they don’t, they don’t.

The definition of Natural Born Citizen, as defined by the Supreme Court, has two elements: 1) you must be born in the U.S.; 2) both of your parents must be citizens of the U.S. at the time of your birth. If both of these elements are fulfilled, you are a Natural Born Citizen. Assuming Mitt was born in the U.S. and both of his parents were U.S. citizens at that time, then he is a NBC. I’ve been told, but don’t know for sure, that Marco was born here, but that his parents didn’t naturalize until Marco was 14 years old. If this is true, then Marco Rubio can never be a Natural Born Citizen. He can be a Senator, his children could be President, but Marco doesn’t meet the minimum Constitutional qualifications to be President. This means that he can’t be VP either.   

Understand that this is a Constitutional matter. It has nothing to do with the experience, value, or skills of the individuals. Our Constitution simply says that you must meet the Natural Born Citizen requirements or you cannot be President.
