OPEN LETTER TO PUBLIC SERVANTS

At the expense of the American people and with the blessings of unseen hands at high policy-making levels, you have created a subculture for yourselves we will call the bureaucratic class. There are millions of you now and, as of 2002, the bureaucratic class has near carte blanche authority to do anything it wants to the American people. It's as if you and your classmates are blessed with some magic shield that protects you from being held personally accountable for the damage you have inflicted upon the very people who have afforded your existence. You have been used by those unseen hands to morally, spiritually, economically and politically bankrupt the people of this nation. The bureaucratic class in the United States has been growing steadily since the New Deal. From the humble beginnings of a few scattered overworked and underpaid public servants providing government services from impromptu field

offices have sprung legions of high-paid bureaucrats with well-staffed offices centralized in government-owned complexes. The bureaucratic class has forgotten its service-based roots and has come to regard its protected-class status as a birthright. Members of the bureaucratic class make comparatively high-end wages that come with comparatively elaborate benefits packages and the ability to charge many of life's expenses to the American people. Over and above all holidays off with pay, you accumulate sick time, vacation time and are allowed to take x number of personal days off each year -- with pay. No such largesse exists in the private sector as we must work almost half the year just to pay for you. While we have grudgingly afforded you these things with only moderate protest, you have been enforcing upon us increasingly invasive, injurious and absurdist policies. If we complain and attempt to seek a redress of our grievances for your abusive conduct through agency superiors, congresspersons or the courts, we are denied. You are immune from prosecution while functioning in your official capacity -- even if you act abusively or beyond the scope of your

authority. With increased wages, increased benefits, increased authority has come prosecutorial immunity so airtight you may wrongfully imprison and murder ordinary people without fear of repercussion. You have all of these things going for you and the law on your side so you must be doing the right thing, you rationalize. How else could you be allowed to steal the property, the children, the freedom and the life from people you must know in your heart do not deserve your bureaucratic wrath? The ends must justify the means, you assuredly tell yourselves while drowning your conscience in alcohol or medicating it with Prozac. Look around you. As bureaucrats who enforce policies that tie ordinary people up into frustrated statutory knots, how many of them appreciate you? How many ordinary people are happy to see you compared to the ones who are barely able to contain the contempt your mere presence in their lives causes them to feel? How many lives have been improved through the functions of your office compared to the lives that have been destroyed by it? Would you

say that over the last several years angry and destroyed people are beginning to drastically outnumber happy and improved people? Is that why many of you now address the public from behind bullet-proof glass and metal detectors? There is an undercurrent of frustration in this country. Things are not going well for ordinary people because their lives are being taxed and regulated out of existence. Right now most people must content themselves to burden their friends and family members with their frustration because there is no other outlet for their emotions. But, what would happen if the magic shield that has protected you and your classmates is removed? Your protection is not divine. It is the construct of men. As easily as it has been given to you it can be taken away. Have you read the news lately? Enron, the lynx hair fraud, no scientific foundation for cutting off irrigation water to protect Klamath Basin suckerfish last year: Your protection is being removed. The bureaucratic class has been set up to take the fall for a failed society. And, in apparent anticipation of imminent chaos, the Bush administration announced Feb. 3, 2002, that soon it will appoint a four-star

general to command the American theater of operations for the Homeland Security Agency. Here is the scenario to which you must take heed: The hand that provided immunity to the bureaucratic class while it bankrupted the people of a nation is lifted. Media-triggered events expose the abusive actions of the bureaucratic class to the masses. The masses identify those in the bureaucratic class as the real cause of their misery and frustration and stop beating their children and spouses. Thousands of government offices are suddenly vacated as bureaucrats flee them in fear of their lives or are otherwise prevented from performing their duties. The structure of government begins to collapse. A power vacuum is created. Homeland Security steps in to administrate our socio/political unraveling as a nation. The general is commissioned to call out the armed forces and take military control of our domestic affairs. Think about it. The description of the bureaucratic class and what it has done to the American people with murderous immunity cannot be disputed. The scenario above is not unprecedented in recent world history. It also cannot be

disputed that, by enjoying the benefits of your class in trade for willingly and knowingly damaging innocent people, you have betrayed them. While worthy adversaries may respect one another, no one respects a traitor. *** The purpose of this letter is to inform members of the bureaucratic class that it was created to perform a task that has been accomplished; you are now as expendable as us ordinary folks whose ranks you are about to rejoin. You have been used to destroy the people of this nation. Immunity for your lifestyle is evaporating. You have been positioned as an outlet for the prodigious anger and frustration that enforcement of increasingly injurious and absurd policies has generated in the people who have paid your wages. The only question remaining is, what are you going to do about it? Don Harkins The Idaho Observer

NOTICE

ATTENTION: "PUBLIC SERVANTS"

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: On December 23, 1913 the United States Congress passed the FEDERAL RESERVE ACT and by that committed the greatest act of TREASON in U.S. history. It surrendered the nation's sovereignty and sold the American people into slavery to a cabal of arch-charlatan bankers who proceeded to plunder, bankrupt, and conquer this nation with a MONEY SWINDLE. The "money" the banks issue is merely bookkeeping entries. It costs them nothing and is not backed by their wealth, efforts, property, or risk. It is not redeemable except in more DEBT paper. The Federal Reserve Act forced us to pay compound interest on thin air. We now use worthless "NOTES" backed by our own credit that we cannot own and are made subject to compelled performance for the "PRIVILEGE." From 1913 until 1933 the U.S. paid "interest" with more and more gold. The structured inevitability soon transpired - the Treasury of the United States' government was empty, the debt was greater than ever, and the

U.S. declared bankruptcy. In exchange for using notes belonging to bankers who create them out of NOTHING on our credit, we are forced to repay in substance (labor, property, land, businesses, resources - life) in ever-increasing amounts. This IS the GREATEST HEIST AND FRAUD of all time. When a government goes bankrupt, it loses its sovereignty. In 1933 the U.S. declared bankruptcy, as expressed in Roosevelt's Executive Order 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260, House Joint Resolution 192 of June 5, 1933, confirmed in Perry v. U.S., (1935) 294 U.S. 330, 381; 79 L.ED. 912, also 31 USC 5112, 5119 and 12 USC 95a. The bankrupt U.S. went into receivership, reorganized in favor of 115 creditors and new owners. In 1913, congress turned over America lock, stock and barrel to a handful of criminals whose avowed intent from the beginning was to plunder, bankrupt, conquer and enslave the people of the united States of America and eliminate the nation from the face of the earth. The goal was, and is, to absorb America into a one-world privately owned

commercial government. A "NEW WORLD ORDER." With the Erie R.R. v. Thompkins case of 1938 the Supreme Court confirmed their success. We are now in an international private commercial jurisdiction in colorable admiralty-maritime under the Law Merchant. We have been conned and betrayed out of our sovereignty, rights, property, freedom, common law, Article III courts, and our REPUBLIC. The Bill of Rights has been statutized into "civil rights" in commerce. America has been stolen. We have been made slaves, i.e., permanent debtors, bankrupt, in legal incapacity, rendered commercial "person", residents and corporate franchisees know as "citizens of the United States" under the so-called "14th Amendment," which was never ratified - see Congressional Record, June 12, 1967; Dvett v. Turner (1968) 439 P.2d 266; State v. Phillips, (1975)(affirmed) and created a citizenship for corporations (abstract) statutory entities, which are the products and definitions of the legislature and are fully taxable and regulatable thereby. Thomas Jefferson's prophecy came to pass: "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency ... the banks ... will

deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Since 1933 what is called the "United States' Government" is a privately owned corporation of the Federal Reserve System/IMF. It is merely an instrument by which the banksters administer their ongoing rape of human freedom. All "public servants," officials, congressmen, politicians, judges, attorneys, law enforcement, States and their various agencies, teachers, etc., are the express agents of these "Foreign Principals*" who have stolen the country by clever, intentional, and unrelenting fraud, trickery, treachery, non-disclosure, misrepresentation, intrigue, coercion, conspiracy, murder, etc.. * See Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938; 22 USC 286 et seq. 263a, 185g, 267j; 611(c)(ii) & (iii); Treasury Delegation Order #91. An insidious aspect of this is that "officials" like you may think you are "public servants," or upholding the "law," or other hoaxes. In truth you are conscientiously and assiduously serving the archenemies of yourselves, your rights, your fellow citizens, continued human rights and life and

freedom in general. YOU are seditiously administering the plunder, bankruptcy, impoverishment and injury to human life based upon crimes and lies of such magnitude, depth, and proportions as to be beyond human comprehension. By so doing, you are committing TREASON AND PERFIDY so immense as "to make the angels weep." If you and your fellow "officials" do not understand the real situation you are ignorant, naive, deceived and conned. You are sheer dupes. If you do know and are parties to it you are guilty of evil and heinous "betrayal." You are in such case TRAITORS AND CRIMINALS. This invalidates your "authority" and renders NULL AND VOID absolutely, all moral obligation to pay allegiance or to obey the TREASONOUS SYSTEM you enforce with such mechanical avariciousness, viciousness and malice aforethought. If, You, "public servants" have any shred of humanity, awe, heart, clarity, sanity, access to your true being and conscience left, you would instantly resign and do everything possible to inform the American people of their

plight and help us retrieve our rights and our country. Only by such means can you even begin to atone for your endless crimes against humanity and the lives you so arrogantly and mindlessly butcher with the "meat-grinder of the law." You DID NOT CREATE the lives you "legally" assault. They DO NOT belong to you. Ignorance of the law (moral and natural law) is no excuse. You CANNOT engage in bringing harm to life, and like the Nazi's defense at Nuerenberg claim that you were simply doing your duty and following orders. Moral and natural law are NOT obviated by ignorance, hubris and self-righteous militancy. Your entire system - from ground up - is DECEIT AND FRAUD. It is illicit in essence and ab initio. As Broom's Maxims 297, 729 put it: "A right of action cannot arise out of fraud." Honor is earned by honesty and integrity, not under false and fraudulent pretenses. The color of the cloth one wears cannot cover up the usurpations, lies and treachery. "When black

is fraudulently declared to be white, not all will live in darkness." More people are awakening to the truth. What do you think the American people will do as they discover that they have no more country, that they are slaves to mortal enemies, that they have been tricked and betrayed by their "leaders" who sold them out? What do you think they will do when they realize that all their so-called "public servants" are willing or stupidly compliant parties to the plunder, subjugation and ruin of their lives and country? Thomas Jefferson wrote: "An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens." Lincoln said: "Just as I would not be a slave, neither would I be a master." I will NOT participate in your corrupt, arrant and cruel FRAUD, either as perpetrator nor victim. The great Indian poet Tagore wrote: "Power takes as ingratitude the writhing of its victim." I will no longer sit here and writhe. The TYRANNY over this nation MUST END!

If you continue with this course, you will have natural and moral law and higher powers to answer to, not to mention all those you have wronged under the color of law. You also, will have your own laws turned against you, as you have turned the law against us. To transform the shield of protection into a sword of exploitation, subjugation and plunder is PERFIDY. You have now been NOTICED. All further actions on your part will be willful.

Fully Informed Jury Flyer It's extremely unlikely the judge will tell you this, because the law doesn't require it. Instead, expect the judge to tell you that you may consider "only the facts" of the case and you are not to let your conscience, your opiinion of the law, or the defendant's motives affect your decision. Many people don't get fair trials. Too often, jurors actually end up apologizing to the person they've convicted - or to the community for acquitting when the evidence clearly established guilt. Something is definitely wrong when jurors feel badly about their verdict. They should never be ashamed of their decision, or explain " I wanted to vote my conscience, but the judge said we had to apply the law as it was given to us, like it or not." Most Americans are aware of their right to trial by jury, but how many

know that the jury has more power than anyone else in the courtroom - and that in pursuit of a just verdict, jurors are free to judge the merits of the law itself, its use in the case at hand, or the motives of the accused. If jurors were supposed to judge "only the facts", their job could be done by a computer. It is precisely because people have opinions, wisdom, experience, and conscience that we depend on jurors, not machines, to judge court cases. In a trial by jury, the judge's job is to referee the trial and provide neutral legal advice to the jury, but judges rarely advise jurors of their rights. And judges are not supposed to dismiss prospective jurors because they admit having qualms with the law, or know about their right to judge the law and its application. But such dismissals are routine. We can only speculate on why: disrespect for the vital concept of "government of, by and for the people?" Unwillingness to part with their powers? Ignorance of jurors rights? (Yes, some judges do not even know about

the rights of jurors.) Worse, many judges and prosecutors, apparently anxious to reassure the public that they stand for law and order, do their best to select jurors they know from prior experience to be "conviction prone." Then the judge (wrongly) "instructs" them that they must reach a unanimous decision, and soon, to avoid "overburdening the taxpayers." Jurors are very rarely informed they may vote according to conscience, even after swearing to "apply the law as given" - or told that it's better to "hang" the jury than to violate one's conscience in order to reach consensus. These are some of the reasons FIJA was formed. FIJA stands for Fully Informed Jury Association. We are a network of jury-rights activists and groups. Our current project is also known as FIJA, the Fully Informed Jury Act or Amendment. As law, FIJA would require that trial judges resume the former practice of telling jurors about their right to judge both law and fact regarding each and every charge against a defendant. We want the judge, like everyone else

in the courtroom, to tell the whole truth and nothing but. Yes, it was normal in the early days of our nation and before, in colonial times. America's founders realized that trials by juries of ordinary people, fully aware of their rights as jurors, would be essential to preservation of our freedom. As long as juries had the final say on the laws of the land, the government would remain the servant, not the master, of the people. Our third president, Thomas Jefferson, put it like this: "I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution." John Adams, our second president, had this to say about the juror: "It is not only his right, but his duty...to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgement, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court." Yes. Only decades had passed since the freedom of the press was established in the colonies when a jury decided John Peter Zenger was "not guilty"

of seditious libel. He was charged with this crime for printing true, but damaging, news stories about the Royal Governor of New York Colony. "Truth is no defense", the court told the jury! But the jury decided to reject bad law, and acquitted. Why? Because defense attorney Andrew Hamilton informed the jury of its rights: he told the story of William Penn's trial - of the courageous London jury which refused to find him guilty of preaching what was then an illegal religion (Quakerism). His jurors stood by their verdict even though they were held without food, water, or toilet facilities for four days. They were then fined and imprisoned for acquitting Penn - until England's highest court acknowledged their right to reject both law and fact, and to find a verdict according to conscience. It was exercise of that right in the Penn trial which eventually led to recognotion of free speech, religious freedom, amd peaceable assembly as individual rights. American colonists regularly depended on juries to thwart bad law sent over from England. The British then restricted trial by jury and other

rights which juries had helped secure. Result? The Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution! Afterwards, to protect the rights they'd fought for from future attack, the Founders of the new nation placed trial by jury - meaning tough, fully informed juries - in both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Bad law - special-interest legislation which tramples our rights - is no longer sent here from Britain. But our own legislatures keep us well supplied... Now, more than ever, we need juries to protect us! In the 1890's, powerful special-interest pressures inspired a series of judicial decisions which tried to limit jury rights. While no court has yet dared to deny that juries can "nullify" or "veto" a law, or "bring in a general verdict", some - hypocritically - have held that jurors need not be told their rights! That is why it is nowadays a rare and courageous attorney who will risk being cited for contmpt of court for informing the jury of its rights without obtaining the judge's prior approval. It's also why the idea of jury rights is not taught in (government) schools. PRESS RELEASE

Child Support SystemDeclared UnconstitutionalMinnesota Supreme Court upholds ruling In 1975, Congress passed a law which included a last minute

amendment to create the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE). When signing the bill, then President Ford commented that it took the federal government too far into domestic relations and promised to propose legislation to correct the problem. Over the decade that followed, it became clear that OCSE intended to grow in size and power to control all aspects of child support law, seizing that power from the state courts. The size of the OCSE grew, this decade acquiring a staff in excess of 50,000 and costing taxpayers some $3 billion annually. Child support laws were modified, so that simple mathematical formulae are used to make award decisions. This new simplicity is required due to the low level of education of workers who are assigned as "judges" in child support cases. Extreme consequences defined by

new federal laws, often carried out automatically and without trial, give the child support enforcement agency power over tens of millions of individuals that surpasses anything previously seen in the United States. After almost 25 years since its start, judges in Minnesota finally felt that they had seen enough. In June of last year, the Court of Appeals decided that the administrative branch of government had exceeded its constitutional powers. The administrative child support process created by Minn. Stat. 518.5511 (1996) violates the separation of powers doctrine by infringing on the district court's original jurisdiction, by creating a tribunal which is not inferior to the district court, and by permitting child support officers to practice law. Therefore, the statute is unconstitutional." (STATE OF MINNESOTA IN SUPREME COURT C7-97-926 C8-97-1132 C9-98-33 C7-97-1512, PRESS RELEASE

Georgia Superior Court Judge Declares States Child Support Guidelines to be Unconstitutional

On February 25, 2002, a courageous Superior Court Judge in the Alapaha Judicial Circuit, by the name of C. Dane Perkins, granted the motion of Michelle L. Sweat, which declared the Georgia Child Support Guidelines to be null and void as the guidelines violate numerous provisions of the constitutions of both the United States and the State of Georgia. Michelle Sweat was divorced on November 12, 1998, and had agreed to allow the father to have custody of the three minor children of the parties while she received visitation, and a provision of the agreement of the parties was that she not be obligated to pay child support.

A U.S. district court in New York has held that the Child Support Recovery Act (CSRA) violates the Tenth Amendment because it exceeds Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce. The statute imposes criminal sanctions on noncustodial parents who have willfully failed to make court-ordered support payments for their children living in another state. (United States v. King, No. S1 00 CR. 653 (RWS), 2001 WL 111278 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 8, 2001).)

North Dakota Officials Dissolve State

Dickinson, N.D. -City, county, and state officials failed to appear at a scheduled news conference Friday in response to a demand that representatives of the law, Constitution, and People of North Dakota appear, explain their positions, and arrange settlement in their default of a decade long civil racketeering and torture case. The announcement was distributed twice, Wednesday and Thursday, to the White House, Congress, FBI, Justice Department, state and federal officials, media, and American citizens. "Officials or their representatives clearly had another reasonable opportunity to show up and demonstrate who's in charge here," said independent federal prosecutor Michael Nowik of Dickinson, who called the news conference to have officials appear in public, end their constant threats to his life,
