COMMON LAW VS. CORPORATE LAW

We have all now seen with our own eyes how our elected officials hide their shenanigans from the People. A clear example is the obscure hurricane bill passed under the public’s radar in 2015 that also conferred freedom from liability to Big Pharma (Glenn Beck). I gathered the following information via the Patriots For America blog back in 2014. This is going to be a long one, guys! Sorry – I tried to cut it down but….

I mentioned to Pat about there being an official process to revoke one’s United States citizenship, regain one’s own individual Sovereignty, and become strictly a State citizen. The process is very lengthy and complicated, of course – the instruction packet from SEDM (Sovereignty Education and Defense Ministry, a Christian-based group) is 17 pages long. You can only read it on-line if you are a member of the site (https://sedm.org/) but it was posted at PFA years ago, and I printed it out.

Two pictures from that document: – first page:

Rechayahu Ben Harvey in 2014:

“There was a coup d’etat that occurred in 1871 in the United States. Both Senate and House of Republicans abandoned the de jure Constitution and seats of Congress for the United States of America, and joined the municipal corporate UNITED STATES, INC., giving the People the impression that their Country and Government had not made any major changes. It has been masquerading as the de jure “Nation” and “Country,” of United States of America to the American people and the world for over 150 years.”

“The Republic can be restored by returning to Common Law, but you must be ready to Constitutionally enforce it with Article I, Section 8, Clause 15. If not, back down and continue to be Sheeple for the next 150 years, for you have let all peaceful means slip away while you complain, petition, and seek assistance from traitors in the de facto Congress.

The people have been made submissive or dumbed down, and don’t recognize the authority that they have, that was given to them, in this founding document by the Founding Fathers–an authority no other country in the world has: 1776 Declaration of Independence.”

So, what is Article I, Section 8, Clause 15???

Article I, Section 8, Clause 15:

[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] “…to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; . . .

The states as well as Congress may prescribe penalties for failure to obey the President’s call of the militia. They also have a concurrent power to aid the National Government by calls under their own authority, and in emergencies may use the militia to put down armed insurrection.1 The Federal Government may call out the militia in case of civil war; its authority to suppress rebellion is found in the power to suppress insurrection and to carry on war.2 The act of February 28, 1795,3 which delegated to the President the power to call out the militia, was held constitutional.4 A militiaman who refused to obey such a call was not employed in the service of the United States so as to be subject to the article of war, but was liable to be tried for disobedience of the act of 1795.5″

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C15-1/ALDE_00001077/

As with all legislation, this Act alone caused a cascade of secondary ramifications that have just gotten more convoluted, incomprehensible and corrupt with every year that passes.

Ben Harvey: “Even the most powerful and the most despotic government cannot hold a society together by sheer force; to that extent, there was a limited truth to the old belief that governments are produced by consent. Whatever corruption and tyranny that is being thrown at The People by this de facto government, it is with the People’s consent.”

The following was written in 2007 by Augustus Blackstone, Attorney, Spokane, WA:

1. The only remaining access to common (constitutional) law under original jurisdiction lies with the Admiralty Courts under “Savings to Suitors” through Rule 9(h). The political maggots had to leave this escape hatch, else they could legitimately be charged with treason.

2. Suits in Admiralty are under the exclusive original jurisdiction of the (Article 111) district courts of the United States of America….which is not the same thing as Article 1 (administrative) or Article IV (territorial) “United States District Courts”.

3. At present, there are only 13 judges vested with original jurisdiction Article 111 judicial authority and who are properly bound by original jurisdiction Article VI oath. They are the judges of the Court of International Trade and they have the authority to sit the bench in any case in any court anywhere in the United States of America. (The CIT is located in New York.)

4. Any case (state or federal) can be re-opened and/or removed to the Admiralty as a Libel in Review, Counterclaim, and Injunction under (common law remedies) “Savings to Suitors.” An original action in Admiralty can be brought in much the same way.

5. The Admiralty courts have exclusive jurisdiction of the property in Maritime Law. The State courts can have concurrent jurisdiction only over the personage of the parties. The entire subject of insurance (of any kind, including SSA) falls within the Maritime aspect of Contract (common) Law. Hence, the phrase “law of the contract.” Today, Maritime insurance touches every part of an average American’s life. Even the nation’s currency is Maritime insured.

6. Trust entities (“strawman,” etc.) are treated as corporation entities because they are artificial creatures without inherent conscience or sentient volition of their own. Corporation entities are treated in the Admiralty as “vessels” (for similar reasons). For Maritime insurance (contract) purposes, each “vessel” must not only have a hull (body) number, but each “vessel” must also be “personified” with a name (usually all caps spelling).

7. What most people think of as federal, state, and local “government” today is, in truth, nothing more than a bunch of affiliated (Maritime insured) corporation entities (“vessels”). Each entity (Justice Dept., Judicial Dept., Treasury Dept., United States, State of ______, IRS, SSA, FBI, etc.) has its own Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), which number cannot be obtained without certification of corporation “vessel” character/status (Form SS-4).

8. The most compelling evidence of proof of the corporation status, which can be obtained via public disclosure request (FOIA), is written verification of the FEIN assigned to a particular “government” agency/department.

9. The officers and crew of these corporation vessels, whether elected, appointed or hired, are nothing more than corporation “public policy” employees (without Public Law authority) and are, therefore, subject to removal/employment termination for any malfeasance, misfeasance or non-feasance, including false personification (of a Public Law officer).

10. The most compelling evidence of proof of the (corporation) “employee” status of any of today’s so-called “civil servants,” is written verification of their individual membership account in the (state) Public Employee’s Retirement System (PERS) or the Federal Employee’s Retirement System (FERS). You won’t be able to get any account balances or other more personal information, but verification of the existence or non-existence of the account is not “exempt” from disclosure under FOIA.

11. With this sort of evidence in hand, the issue (in court) then becomes: by what lawful authority do (or did) you, a mere employee of a mere corporation, exercise legitimate Public Law power to my detriment?

12. The procedures in Admiralty courts are not so dissimilar from those of other courts. It is mainly understanding the actual body of law being applied to the case without confusing it with what you think it ought to be. The de jure government of our nation is, for the most part, dormant. And it’s Offices are, for the most part, vacant. The de facto “government” and it’s employees can be brought to task only in the Admiralty courts (under Contract Law).

13. Admiralty jurisdiction has another aspect which, for various valid reasons, directly corresponds to Law Martial. It is that aspect (in a corrupted ‘quasi’ or

‘colorable’ form) which is currently in use by the federal corporation “vessels” most people tend to think of as federal, state and local “government.” There is a distinction to be made between a “criminal action” (Public Law exercise of the collective power of the People) and a “penal code violation” (exercise of federal corporation “public policy” authority). A Public Law crime requires an actual victim (corpus delicti). A federal corporation “(Public) policy” offense only requires an infraction violation of the corporation’s penal code. The easiest way to make the distinction between the two is: the punishment for a (real) crime makes no provision for amercement (bribe). The penalty for a federal corporation’s penal code violation typically includes time in the “vessel’s” brig/stockade or a “fine,” or both. Thus, the Maritime insurance/Contract Law becomes apparent.

14. It is a fundamental precept of English/American jurisprudence that “justice shall be administered without purchase.” In other words, “justice” is not for sale or hire. That is why those who advocate (practice law) on behalf of incompetent person, e.g., the insane, infants, etc., must do so pro bono and be appointed by the court on a case-by-case basis (which is how practitioners lawfully acquire the character/status of “officer of the court.”

15. That is also why those who advocate (practice law) for hire on behalf of a corporation entity must do so under “license” issued by and under the official Seal of the State(s)….which an attorney’s BAR card is not. The BAR card carries no more legal significance than a AAA membership card….which is not a “license” (to drive) issued by and under the official Seal of the State(s). The State BARs, without federal corporation “vessels” styled as “LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF _______” and/or “JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT.”

16. The BAR number assigned to each member is (or can be referred to as) a mixed war Letter of Marque (document) number, by which they are seemingly authorized to make inland raids and seizures (in the capacity of privateers) upon “enemies” of the (corporation) “state.” (Ref. the Trading With The Enemy Act).

17. When in the Admiralty courts, one must use the proper terms to properly identify the parties and their actions. The Maritime insured federal corporation vessel styled as “(insert TITLE/NAME)” operates inland under U.S. tax registry number (insert FEIN). The officers and crew thereof are Maritime insured “employees.” Get the idea?

The foregoing has very little directly to do with restoring and maintaining one’s individual sovereign character/status. It does, however, help one to understand the true nature of the game (and its rules) in which we find ourselves, and the remedies available.

Yours in Liberty

  1. Morning!
    wow Filly…I read it, but dang if i understood it…
    I’ve read stuff like this before but it’s beyond my ken.
    so we’re not a country but a corporation and there’s no way to repeal that?
    and how was that allowed to pass…
    I am confused…
    sending out a distress signal…hopefully COVFEFE will come to the rescue!

    1. It is really complicated, Pat – and that is by intent as well! Revoke the Act of 1871, first and foremost. That would eliminate DC in it’s entirety. In effect, that would also make moot every law passed subsequent to 1871 under the authority of that Act.

  2. i think this is a magician’s sleight of hand at play here…the left hand of gov’t uses agency to create a big distraction while the right hand does something they don’t want you paying attention to. guns are a big issue here in US…so any attack will have all attention focused here…what EVIL are they ding over there…where we can’t see??
    FTA
    Twenty-two state attorneys general, led by Montana and West Virginia, have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court over a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rule they argue would immediately transform hundreds of thousands of law-abiding gun owners into criminals.

    Through its rulemaking, the ATF is attempting to regulate bump-stock accessories by claiming that they transform the firearms they attach to into machine guns as defined by the National Firearms Act of 1934.

    The AGs filed an amicus brief in support of Gun Owners of America, Inc., which sued U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, and are asking the court to hear the case after the full Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals was evenly split on the issue.

    The ATF’s rule is a way for the federal agency to circumvent Congress and rewrite law that only Congress has the authority to do, the AGs argue.

    “The Final Rule effectively transforms commonly owned firearms into banned machine guns simply because of the use of non-mechanical bump-stock accessories. This interpretation categorically expands the text of the criminal statute in a way that Congress couldn’t possibly have intended,” they argue in their brief. “And it expands criminal liability at the expense of Second Amendment rights, diminishing the latter absent a sufficient and compelling justification. When the ATF – or any agency – invades protected rights by interpreting statutes too broadly, this Court should step in.”

    A bump stock, or stabilizing brace, isn’t a weapon. It’s a device that attaches to the rear of a pistol and slips around the user’s forearm. They’re often used to reduce recoil, prevent injury, and allow the user to more safely and accurately fire their gun. They don’t transform semi-automatic rifles into automatic machine guns. Tens of millions of stabilizing braces are sold nationwide.

They won’t teach this in school because they want people dumbed down and compliant. We need to help educate each other, in turn and go back to our founding roots.

      1. The original way the government was set up was the states derived power from their respective citizens. The federal gov’t derived their powers from the states. The acts of 1871 did away with the original gov’t set up under the constitution and replaced it with a corporate entity, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This flipped the power structure with everything now devolving from the federal government.

        The part about taxes and sovereign citizens is the idea that originally, as citizens of the states, we were not oblivated to pay taxes. The acts of 1871 made us citizens of the corporation and now we are liable for paying tax revenues to the corporation. Don’t know if that makes sense, it is very deep and convoluted. I don’t get all of it, but I think I understa,d the basics of it.

      2. Basically, Pat, revoke the Act of 1871 – the fall-out from that alone would be epic! Because any law passed subsequent to 1871 based on the authority of that Act would then be moot and wiped off the books as if they never existed. Again, the fall-out…….think about how many people thru the years were negatively affected by that!

  5. EXCERPT: “It wasn’t until I became an adult and started reading history on my own that I began to doubt the version of events I was taught several decades earlier. For example, did you know that Lincoln suspended civil liberties in the North, including the writ of habeas corpus? That he filled the jails with more than 13,000 political prisoners, all incarcerated without due process? The Supreme Court protested Lincoln’s disregard for our Constitutional protections, but the President replied he had a war to fight. Since he commanded the army, Lincoln won that argument.

    And speaking of the war, guess who uttered these words:

    “Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable — a most sacred right — a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may revolutionize, and make their own, of so much of their territory as they inhabit.”

    I’ll admit this is a trick question. The speaker was Lincoln. But he was not talking about the Southern states that tried to secede from the Union. No, these remarks were made in 1847, when Lincoln was defending the right of Texans to demand their independence from Mexico. A dozen years later, when six Southern states tried to declare their independence, Lincoln’s response was to smash them to bits.

    As a child, I never questioned the assertion that the South was wrong to secede. And that Lincoln was right to use as much force as necessary to preserve the Union. Later, as I grew to understand the strength and uniqueness of our Constitutional Republic, I began to question both assumptions.

    The U.S. Constitution, I came to believe, was a contract — a contract between the various states and the Federal government they created. Note that the Constitution had to be approved by the states, not a majority of the citizens. There was no “majority rule” here, no popular vote taken.

    But this raises the question, if it was necessary for the states to adopt the Constitution, why wouldn’t it be legal for some of those states to rescind that vote, especially if they felt the contract had been broken? More and more, I found myself thinking that the South was legally and morally right in declaring its independence. And the North, by invading those states and waging war on them, was wrong.”

  6. EXCERPT: “If an effort is to be undertaken by Americans in which they are to reclaim their rights under natural law (rights that are being stolen from them every day by the tyrannical fascist American regime), then an understanding of what has transpired to take away those rights must first be achieved. For if one does not know how his rights were taken from him, there is no way he can adequately labor for their return.

    The Founding Fathers drafted the Constitution, ostensibly, to create a vehicle to keep a check on government. It was a compact of states, and the document was ratified by the states (see Article VII). It was not ratified by the people in a mass election, but by the states one by one.

    The Constitution drafted by the Founders was not intended to form a strong “national” government with heavily centralized power, but as a means to represent a group of states only on matters that concerned them all. The government was given a list of enumerated powers in Article I, Section 8. As James Madison wrote in Federalist No. 14:

    In the first place, it is to be remembered, that the general government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects, which concern all the members of the republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any.

    In Federalist No. 45 Madison wrote:

    The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several states will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the State.

    The Constitution was not a document designed to restrain the people or the states, but to place restraints on the federal government the Founders were creating. This is an important distinction. It would not have been ratified if not for the promise of a bill of rights to further check the federal government. That’s because most of the Founders — particularly the Anti-Federalists — feared the Constitution wasn’t strong enough to prevent the Federal government from stealing power from the states.

    To that end, the Bill of Rights established a set of restrictions on federal government. The preamble to the Bill of Rights expresses this quite plainly:

    THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.”

    1. “The Civil War — aka the War to Prevent Southern Secession or the war of Northern Aggression — essentially neutered the 9th and 10th Amendments. The war was not started by President Abraham Lincoln to end slavery. It was fought to reign in a “rebellion” of states who were exercising their rights as outlined in the Declaration of Independence.

      Abraham Lincoln, the war’s chief prosecutor, himself said, “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy Slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.” In fact, the official government name for the war is the “War of the Rebellion.”

      To “save the Union,” Lincoln trampled on the rule of law. He suspended habeas corpus, ignored Supreme Court rulings, sent federal troops into state legislatures to prevent them from voting, arrested politicians, shut down opposition newspapers and held their editors without trial and signed illegal executive orders and congress-passed laws.

      General William T. Sherman, the Union war criminal whose army left a vast swath of rape and pillage destruction from Tennessee, through Georgia and South Carolina — and who later engaged in genocide on the Plains Indians — wrote to Major R.M. Sawyer in a January 1864 letter that the war “Was the result of a false political doctrine that any and every people have a right to self government.” He went on to write that state’s rights, freedom of conscience and freedom of the press were “trash” that had “deluded the Southern people into the war.” Sherman was acting with the approval of his commander, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, and therefore with the approval of the president.

      The natural result of Lincoln’s actions is the empirical presidency we have today. President Barack Obama once claimed he fancied himself a modern-day Lincoln. It’s probably the only truth he’s uttered since he took office. OK: Queue the inevitable zombie commenters that will label me a racist for expressing a truth.”

  7. More reference material for those who want it – from 2016:

    EXCERPT: ““Today the path to total dictatorship in the U.S. can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system … a well-organized political-action group in this country, determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party state…. The important point to remember about this group is not its ideology but its organization… It operates secretly, silently, continuously to transform our Government…. This group … is answerable neither to the President, the Congress, nor the courts. It is practically irremovable.”— Senator William Jenner, 1954 speech

    Unaffected by elections. Unaltered by populist movements. Beyond the reach of the law. Say hello to America’s shadow government.

    A corporatized, militarized, entrenched bureaucracy that is fully operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence, running the country, this shadow government represents the hidden face of a government that has no respect for the freedom of its citizenry.

    No matter which candidate wins the presidential election, this shadow government is here to stay. Indeed, as recent documents by the FBI reveal, this shadow government—also referred to as “The 7th Floor Group”—may well have played a part in who will win the White House this year.

    To be precise, however, the future president will actually inherit not one but two shadow governments.

    The first shadow government, referred to as COG or Continuity of Government, is made up of unelected individuals who have been appointed to run the government in the event of a “catastrophe.” COG is a phantom menace waiting for the right circumstances—a terrorist attack, a natural disaster, an economic meltdown—to bring it out of the shadows, where it operates even now. When and if COG takes over, the police state will transition to martial law.

    Yet it is the second shadow government—also referred to as the Deep State—that poses the greater threat to freedom right now. Comprised of unelected government bureaucrats, corporations, contractors, paper-pushers, and button-pushers who are actually calling the shots behind the scenes, this government within a government is the real reason “we the people” have no real control over our government.

    The Deep State, which “operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power,” makes a mockery of elections and the entire concept of a representative government.

    So who or what is the Deep State?

    It’s the militarized police, which have joined forces with state and federal law enforcement agencies in order to establish themselves as a standing army. It’s the fusion centers and spy agencies that have created a surveillance state and turned all of us into suspects. It’s the courthouses and prisons that have allowed corporate profits to take precedence over due process and justice. It’s the military empire with its private contractors and defense industry that is bankrupting the nation. It’s the private sector with its 854,000 contract personnel with top-secret clearances, “a number greater than that of top-secret-cleared civilian employees of the government.” It’s what former congressional staffer Mike Lofgren refers to as “a hybrid of national security and law enforcement agencies”: the Department of Defense, the State Department, Homeland Security, the CIA, the Justice Department, the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President via the National Security Council, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, a handful of vital federal trial courts, and members of the defense and intelligence committees.”

  8. Shall we add another brick to the pile of how our Constitution was subverted from it’s inception?

    EXCERPT: “On March 12, 1819 the State of Virginia, with the enactment and publication of the laws of Virginia, became the 13th and FINAL state required to ratify the above article of amendment to the Constitution For The United States, thus making it the Law Of The Land. With the enactment of Act No. 280, March 12, 1819, which was Voted, En Bloc, and publication of the Revised Code, the State of Virginia notified the Department of State, the Congress, the Library of Congress, and the President of their action by issuing to each a copy of the Laws of Virginia. [See VA 1819 Images] . In fact, the Journal of the Virginia Senate; Tuesday, May 1st, 1810 (Pages 511-512 shows that the resolution to amend was properly enrolled and ratified on that date by the Virginia House and Senate, to be laid before the President of the United States, therefore the first state to ratify.

    This Article of Amendment is intimately connected to questions of loyalty, honesty, war and national defense. It is designed to combat internal subversion and discord sowed by people who are adhering to powers foreign to the Congress of the United States without stepping across the bold Constitutional line of treason. The authors of the TONA wrote it after some additional experience with how the British Empire, as well as other European nations, actually conduct their affairs. It is a corrective and supplemental measure to go along with Constitutional treason.

    In terms familiar to the common man, this might quite properly be called the use of bribes and graft by individuals and powers foreign, i.e. external, to the Congress of the United States to subvert the constitutional process and suborn our political system and the interests of WE THE PEOPLE.

    After appearing in numerous official publications until 1876, this Article “disappeared” from our Constitution, to be replaced by another made nearly 50 years later. You may well ask how such a thing could have happened. So did we. It is of particular interest to read the last three paragraphs of the preface to”Echoes From The Cabinet,” published in 1896 …. click here .. To understand why our legislators made it disappear.

    The disappearance of the original 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been under investigation by independent modern researchers during the past -1861 years. We’ve learned a lot. We now know that the original 13th Amendment was, and still is, the Law Of The Land.

    The law is still there, waiting only to be publicly recognized and enforced once again to protect the Sovereignty and Interests of WE THE PEOPLE, and to force the elected representatives of the people to adhere strictly to their solemn and binding Oath of Office, i.e., “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” , and to the limitations of government imposed by the Constitution.”

  9. EXCERPT: “The United States in the twenty-first century is predominately a two-party system. Although more than two political parties exist, many American voters tend to side with one of the big two: the Democrats or the Republicans.

    In George Washington’s Farewell Address he warned his fellow Americans about the dangers of political parties. He said, “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.” He claimed the partisanship would lead to inter-political conflict, divide the nation, and give rise to cases of tyranny.

    Despite his warnings, political associations in the young United States began to bifurcate even before the Constitution was signed. In those first stages, the two factions were The Federalists and the Anti-Federalists – the discussions of the Federalists became most famous initially in The Federalist Papers.

    In a letter to John Wise*, Thomas Jefferson said of the developing political environment:

    “Two political sects have arisen within the U. S. The one believing that the executive is the branch of our government which the most needs support; the other that like the analogous branch in the English Government, it is already too strong for the republican parts of the Constitution; and therefore in equivocal cases they incline to the legislative powers: the former of these are called federalists, sometimes aristocrats or monocrats, and sometimes tories, after the corresponding sect in the English Government of exactly the same definition: the latter are styled republicans, whigs, jacobins, anarchists, disorganizers, etc. these terms are in familiar use with most persons.”
    Thomas Jefferson was a member of the Republican Party – the “jacobins” – alongside James Madison and Patrick Henry. John Adams was a member of the Federalist Party – the “monocrats” – along with Alexander Hamilton, who had been the main voice behind The Federalist Papers.

    Truthfully, it was Jefferson who felt the greatest need to perpetuate an “opposition” party, because he believed that the Federalists represented aristocratic forces hostile to the true will of the people. He believed that without a Republican party, the Federalists would turn the nation into in oligarchy, and steal freedom from the people. His dedication to his beliefs are the reason why political parties play such an enormous role in American politics today.”

  10. NY Lt Gov Benjamin arrested
    FTA
    New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, whose seven months in that role has been overshadowed by probes into a previous campaign, was arrested Tuesday in a federal corruption investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s office said Benjamin was arrested on charges of bribery, wire fraud and falsification of records.

    Benjamin, formerly a state senator from Harlem, had joined the administration of Gov. Kathy Hochul in September, chosen by her to fill her former job a couple of weeks after she stepped into the governorship.

    More recently, reports came out saying subpoenas had been issued to Benjamin regarding the financial issues even before Hochul picked him as lieutenant governor. Despite her saying she didn’t know of the subpoenas at the time, Hochul proclaimed her support for Benjamin, and he said he had told state police as they went though the process of vetting him.

    “I have utmost confidence in my lieutenant governor,” Hochul said during a Thursday press conference. “This is an independent investigation related to other people and he’s fully cooperating. He is my running mate.”

    Benjamin was the state’s second Black lieutenant governor.

  13. EXCERPT: “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday signed legislation addressing the “fatherhood crisis,” making it clear that the Sunshine State will not follow anti-family propaganda but “put programs in place that support fathers and help families stay connected and engaged with each other.”

    “If you look over the last many decades, one of the worst social trends has been the decline of fatherhood, and we do have in many instances a fatherhood crisis in this country,” DeSantis said, signing the “Child Welfare” bill H.B. 7065 on Monday.

    In part, the bill requires the Department of Children and Families to “contract for the development and implementation of the Responsible Fatherhood Initiative” and provides “grants to community-based not-for-profit organizations to offer certain mentorship programs,” according to the bill’s summary. It also designates June as “Responsible Fatherhood Month.”

    1. “Pop star, Joe Biden Presidential campaign surrogate, and climate change hardliner Lizzo posed in a tiny thong, showing off her buttocks while boarding another private jet on Sunday.

      Lizzo posted a video to her 12 million Instagram followers that showed her boarding a jet clad in an outfit that put her entire behind on display. The grammy-winner tweeted Monday about being in New York City to host Saturday Night Live.”

    1. “Hillary proceeded to pick up a full glass of water and throw it at the face of the assistant, and the screaming started. She was in a full meltdown and no one on her staff dared speak with her — she went kind of manic and did not have any control over herself at that point.

      How these people work with this woman is amazing to me. She really didn’t seem to care who heard any of it. You really had to see this to believe it. She came apart — literally unglued. She is the most foul-mouthed woman I’ve ever heard. And that voice at screech level — awful!

      She screamed she’d get that f__king Lauer fired for this. Referring to Donald Trump, Clinton said, ‘If that f__king bastard wins, we all hang from nooses!’ ‘Lauer’s finished, and if I lose, it’s all on your heads for screwing this up.’

      Her dozen or more aides were visibly disturbed and tried to calm her down when she started shaking uncontrollably as she screamed to get an executive at Comcast, the parent company of NBC Universal, on the phone. Then two rather large aides grabbed her and helped her walk to her car.”
