"To be governed is to be watched over, inspected, spied on, directed, legislated, regimented, closed in, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, assessed, evaluated, censored, commanded; all by creatures that have neither the right, nor wisdom, nor virtue . . .
To be governed means that at every move, operation, or transaction one is noted, registered, entered in a census, taxed, stamped, priced, assessed, patented, licensed, authorized, recommended, admonished, prevented, reformed, set right, corrected. Government means to be subjected to tribute, trained, ransomed, exploited, monopolized, extorted, pressured, mystified, robbed; all in the name of public utility and the general good.
Then, at the first sign of resistance or word of complaint, one is repressed, fined, despised, vexed, pursued, hustled, beaten up, garroted, imprisoned, shot, machine-gunned, judged, sentenced, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed, and to cap it all, ridiculed, mocked, outraged, and dishonored. That is government, that is its justice and its morality! . . . O human personality! How can it be that you have cowered in such subjection for sixty centuries?”
[Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (born A. D. 1809 - died A. D. 1865)]
"We ought to obey God rather than men."
[Acts
5:29,Bible]
"Those people who are not governed by GOD will be ruled by tyrants."
[William Penn]
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like
fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
[George
Washington]
"Society in every state is a blessing, but government even
in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an
intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same
miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish
the means by which we suffer."
[Thomas Paine, "Common Sense" Feb 1776]

CRS Report for Congress: National Emergency Powers-The President
of the United States has available certain powers that may be exercised
in the event that the Nation is threatened by crisis, exigency emergency
circumstances (other than natural disasters, war, or near-war
situations). Such powers may be stated explicitly or implied
by the Constitution, assumed by the Chief Executive to be constitutionally
permissible, or inferred from or specified by statute. Through
legislation, Congress has made a great many delegations of authority
in this regard over the past 200 years. This "Congressional
Research Service Report" shows how these emergency powers have
been used to nullify provisions and protections of the U.S. Constitution.

“Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure [unearned money from the government]

your standard of living] and covet [the unearned] and cannot obtain [except by empowering your government to STEAL for you!].
You fight and war [against the rich and the nontaxpayers to subsidize your idleness].
Yet you do not have because you do not ask [the Lord, but instead ask the deceitful government]. You ask and do not receive,
because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the
world [or the governments of the world] is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world [or the
governments of the world, such as a "citizen", "resident", "taxpayer", or civil "person"]
makes himself an enemy of God.”
[James 4:4 , Bible, NKJV]

It is true, that the person who accepts an office may be supposed to enter into a compact to be answerable to the government, which he serves, for any violation of his duty; and, having taken the oath of office, he would unquestionably be liable, in such case, to a prosecution for perjury in the Federal Courts."

The FOUR "United States" -how corrupt judges and legislators
confuse "United States" the legal person with "United States" the
territory
"Where the people fear the government, you have tyranny; where
the government fears the people, you have liberty." (Citizens
Rule Book, page 9; Whitten Printers, (602) 258-6406; Phoenix, AZ
)
"A democracy is a sheep and two wolves deciding on what to have
for lunch. Freedom is a well armed sheep contesting the results
of the decision." (Benjamin Franklin)
"Americans have the government officials they deserve. Our society
openly castigates the Almighty, thus making tolerable judicial pronouncements
like that of today (6-26-02, 9th circuit) which banished God from
our national pledge. The darkness of night follows the light of
day, and similarly when any nation shakes its angry fist at the
maker of the universe, it can expect the withdrawal of divine protection.
Conditions are now riper for a strike by our national tormenters.
Those who disdain our sacred pledge are no better than our enemies."
Larry Becraft
"Using the term 'government' and 'organization' in the same
sentence is an oxymoron." Family Guardian Fellowship
"Study the Constitution! Let it be preached from the pulpit,
proclaimed to legislatures, and enforced in courts of justice."--Abraham
Lincoln
"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth
can stand by itself."--Thomas Jefferson
"I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society
but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened
enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy
is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion." --
Thomas Jefferson
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of
civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." -- Thomas
Jefferson
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean
to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which
knowledge gives." -- James Madison (Letter to W.T. Barry, August
4, 1822)
"The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures
ought to form the basis of all our civil consitutions and laws.
All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition,
injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising
or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."--Noah Webster
"The only power the judge has over the JURY is their ignorance!"--Citizens
Rule Book, page 6; Whitten Printers, (602) 258-6406; Phoenix, AZ
"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and
void." Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803).
"An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it
imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office;
it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as thourh it had never
been passed." Norton vs. Shelby County; 118 US 425 p. 442
"I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood
what Congress has done to them over the past forty-nine years, they
would move on Washington. It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy
the economic and social independence of the United States." -- Senator
George Malone of Nevada, speaking before Congress in 1957
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But,
under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every fragment of
the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist
nation, without knowing how it happened." -- Norman Thomas, for
many years the U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate
"If My people which are called by My name, shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal
their land." II Chron. 7:14
"We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism,
but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small
doses of Socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have
Communism." -- Nikita Kruschev, Premiere of the former Soviet Union,
3-1/2 months before his first visit to the United States.
"But why, you might ask, should the richest people in the world
promote a socialistic system? The answer appears to be that under
socialism the state owns everything, and these people intend, quite
simply, to own the state. It is the neatest and completest way of
bagging the lot!" -- W.D. Chalmers in "The Conspiracy Of Truth"
"Socialism is not in the least what it pretends to be. It is
not the pioneer of a better and finer world, but the spoiler of
what thousands of years of civilization have created. It does not
build, it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it. It produces
nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private
ownership in the means of production has created." -- Ludwig von
Mises ("Socialism", 1922)
"Give me your four year-olds and in a generation I will build
a socialist state ... destroy the family and the society will collapse."
-- Vladimir Lenin
"What is the use of being elected or re-elected unless you stand
for something?"--Grover Cleveland
In a jury trial the real judges are the JURORS! Surprisingly,
judges are actually just referees bound by the Constitution!
"Government is established for the protection of the weak against
the strong. This is the principal, if not the sole motive for the
establishment of all legitimate government. It is only the weaker
party that lose their liberties, when a government becomes oppressive.
The stronger party, in all governments are free by virtue of their
superior strength. They never oppress themselves. Legislation is
the work of this stronger party; and if, in addition to the sole
power of legislation, they have the sole power of determining what
legislation shall be enforced, they have all power in their hands,
and the weaker party are the subjects of an absolute government.
Unless the weaker party have a veto, they have no power whatever
in the government and…no liberties… The trial by jury is the only
institution that gives the weaker party any veto upon the power
of the stronger. Consequently it is the only institution that gives
them any effective voice in the government, or any guaranty against
oppression." Lysander Spooner
"Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune,
which they have prescribed to rob the needy of justice, and to take
what is right from the poor of My people. That widows may be their
prey, and that they may rob the fatherless. What will you do in
the day of punishment, and in the desolation which will come from
afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your
glory? Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners, and they
shall fall among the slain. For all this His anger is not turned
away, but His hand is stretched out still." (Bible, Isaiah
10:1-4)
