This book comes from this link.
Today's excerpt begins on page xii.
Several months prior to the writing of this book, I began questioning my motivation for doing so.
I had a comfortable lifestyle with no real bone to pick with anyone, especially the government.
I had achieved a comfortable financial position - well educated, firmly established in the legal profession and most importantly of all, I had a loving, caring family.
What then motivated me to take on both the state and federal governments, the proverbial biggest bullies on the block?
The answer is that I had discovered that both the state and federal governments have been lying to and stealing from We the People.
Of all criminals, the ones that are personally repugnant to me are liars and thieves.
These species of criminal I cannot abide in any manner, from any source, especially the government.
Ergo, the years of research uncovering the story you are about to read.
The government and the international Global Elite have systematically stolen our wealth and our birthright as Americans.
The title of this book, FRUIT FROM A POISONOUS TREE , explains the theft of our wealth and identity, and the book tells what we can do about it.
This story is not about high drama, but it has that.
It is not a story about insatiable greed; it has that also.
This story is about the planned, deliberate destruction of rhe United States of America by the archenemies of this nation who have been around since its inception - the Global Elite, whose identity you will discover.
During my investigation I became so overwhelmed by the government’s deceit and unabashed arrogance that I went back to the history books trying to identify the point at which our republic swerved onto the destructive path towards democracy - where our creation, the government, servant of the people, became the master and we became the servant - where the nonproductive, who are consumers of the public treasury, elect politicians who promise them even more government benefits at the expense of the majority of productive, wealth-producing Americans.
That is the democracy we live in today and our founding fathers’ worst nightmare.
This change from a republican form of government to our present democracy was silent and insidious.
There are many contributors to this metamorphosis who we might fault, both inside and outside of government, such as teachers, clergy, judges and politicians, but laying blame would solve nothing.
Ultimately “We the People” are to blame; we are responsible.
We have permitted both state and our federal governments to have control over our children’s education, which has resulted in the dumbing down of generations so that most of us cannot detect the slow perversion of our freedom.
Thomas Jefferson cautioned us that “freedom is not free; the price you must pay for freedom is eternal vigilance.”
As a people we have for many years been apathetic to the Congress, the President and the Judiciary, so much so that we never noticed the subtle, diminishing changes that were occurring to our freedom, right in plain sight.
We have not been vigilant.
Somewhere along the way this plan for a republic went dreadfully wrong.
Without any constitutional authority, the republic was transformed into a democracy.
Now the President makes law by Executive Order, again without constitutional authority.
The Congress is powerless because of fierce partisanship and the constant pursuit of money from the international corporations needed to perpetuate their political lives.
The result is that they do nothing to check and balance the other runaway branches of our government.
The agencies that were created by Congress to make and enforce regulations and administer the draconian laws of the Congress and the Executive branch now answer only to the diseased, corrupted body of the Executive branch, which answers to no one but the international cartel of bankers, philanthropists and senior level policy wonks.
These incomprehensible laws of Congress, especially the taxing statutes, are patently unconstitutional in their application to the citizens of the fifty states.
But this seizure of the productive people’s wealth for the benefit of the non-producing minority and the imprisonment of those who resist this theft have been ratified by a corrupted federal judiciary and Supreme Court.
That briefly sums up our present day democracy and the state of the union.
Where did it all go wrong?
You are about to find out, and you are not going to like it one bit.
I truly believe that many of the problems we have with government and the judiciary today stem from the deliberate bastardization of the English language by those in government.
The laws of English grammar are totally inflexible.
It is absolutely impossible for any English-speaking nation that prides itself on the assertion that it is a nation of law and not of men, without adhering to a strict discipline in the use of the English language and grammar, to be anything other than a nation of men without law.
Proper English is essential in the drafting of those national laws; otherwise tyranny will always be the end result.
The Supreme Court has pontificated that the Constitution is a living, breathing document, and that, as such, it must evolve with the changing society that it governs - that they, this majestic body of legal intellectuals, in this process of an ever-evolving society, must interpret the organic Constitution for us, the ignorant masses.
Preposterous!
The Constitution is written in plain English so that anyone with a fifth grade education can understand its simple meaning.
It isn’t written in Russian or Chinese and doesn’t need interpretation.
Does the Constitution get cold or hot, sick or diseased?
Does it get old and senile?
The Constitution is not a living, breathing document.
It’s a dead tree! - a dead tree that was processed into paper so that eternal ideas and heavenly concepts of men governing themselves could be preserved for future generations.
It was written by noble visionaries that we call our founding fathers.
That is what the Constitution is, period!
The visions and concepts immortalized in the Constitution cannot evolve with our society, because man by the very nature of being man rarely rises to a higher level of nobility.
We as a species usually evolve to a lower base of decadence - immorality - one notch above a slug; that’s the nature of man and it has been so since the Garden of Eden.
The United States Constitution - this document that the learned justices say must evolve to keep up with our society - is why we were the only nation in the entire existence of the human race to ever promise life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to all of its citizenry and then deliver on that promise.
Look around and determine for yourself if we are a moral society that must have an evolving Constitution to keep up with us.
Our government has taken from us our common law and the protections it afforded us and replaced common law with government-made vulgar law, called statutory law, that strips us of our freedom by creating legal fictions and compelling performance from those legal fictions which common law did not.
As a nation we have more citizens in prison than any country in the world — over two million — and ninety percent of the crimes of which they are accused are victimless crimes.
The law they violated most likely was paid for by corporations to protect them from us.
We, however, are the problem, because we operate like the tool of the new king and we do his bidding without questioning whether the law is a good law or a bad one.
It is our responsibility as jurors to ask those questions, but we have let the prosecutor and the judge tell us what the law means instead of using God’s gift of intelligence to discern for ourselves.
We are responsible for determining not only the facts but also the law.
If that were not true, then we would still have legal slavery and be prosecuting people for helping slaves escape under the Fugitive Slave Act.
That law was interpreted and upheld by the courts of the time.
Decent jurors who did not agree exercised their right of jury nullification, the most cherished right we as Americans possess.
We now have replaced morality with abortion on demand, and if we do not kill our children in the womb, we tax them to death the moment they are born.
Does it not seem immoral to permit a Congress to spend money that it does not have so that every future generation will be obligated to pay, from their labor and property for their entire life, on a debt that is sixty or eighty years old?
The moment your child is born, she has a debt to the Federal Reserve Bank, Inc., of $22,000 and rising.
It is not only immoral; it is the thing of which violent revolutions are made.
If we do not stop this insanity here and now, our grandchildren will, and it will not be pleasant.
Waco, Texas, is the example of what the New King wanted us to see, because that is our future if we do not comply with the King’s demands.
We permitted our government to negotiate and pass the NAFTA and GATT treaties, which guaranteed that this nation will never again be an industrial or technological world power, assuring that our people are doomed to a third-world agrarian life within the next fifty years.
As I write this introduction, my book is finished and I have reviewed its contents.
Because of my knowledge of government corruption, I am becoming incensed while organizing my thoughts for this introduction.
My antagonism was so great while I was researching that I expatriated my citizenship from the corporate UNITED STATES.
That expatriation document is in the first chapter of this book and sets the tempo for the remainder.
I hope that if nothing else you will come away from this reading experience a wiser and more determined citizen of your state, with a passion for recovering what was ours and what was stolen from us.
