Collapse in the Rule of Law: The Average American Does Not Trust Courts
The National Post has reported the sad state of the American legal system – there is nothing left. As they said, “The right to a fair trial just does not exist.” We have reached that point in the evolution of government where the rule of law fades into the night. It is all about corruption; the courts support the system that pays their pensions. This is the symbol of injustice, the fat judge being carried on the back of the people. The National Post wrote back in October 2014:
According to the Gallup Polls, America’s confidence in government is collapsing. This is part of the cycle and it is necessary to spark political change when the ECM turns down into 2020. The Gallup Poll shows those who TRUST the Supreme Court are only now 30%, Congress has collapsed to just 7%, and a six-year low for the presidency coming in at 29%.
Is There a Legal Solution?
Some people have asked whether there is some legal means to readjust government and hold politicians accountable. There was once upon a time the legal right of Quo Warranto. This is a Latin phrase meaning “By what authority”. It sounds very nice; I even wrote a motion to demand by what authority does a judge have to hold someone in civil contempt for life without lawyers, trial, or charges. The Court of Appeals Judge, John Walker Jr. (Bush’s cousin) effectively claimed that historically the judge was the same as the king, declaring their power was inherent, and Congress could not overrule that. Congress can only suggest, for Walker effectively wrote that judges refuse to give up such power as they are above the Constitution. Even the Circuit Judge Sonia Sotomayor (now Supreme Court Justice) wrote in my case that there should still be some due process, but judges are not confined by Congress (1) – so much for Democracy.
Any attempt to use Quo Warranto to demand that those in power show their authority to do what they do – well good luck. They appoint the judges and they will NEVER surrender the power of themselves or government. I do not see this as a viable solution. Sure, I could write the brief, but that would be a waste of time.
We do not live in a Democracy for we would have the right to vote on everything. We live in a Republic with people pretending to be representing us who are there forever and thus exempt themselves from the law. They even select the people to be judges. The system is entire corrupt and rotten to the core. This is why the Roman Republic led to civil war and in the end, an emperor emerged because the Roman Senate could no longer be trusted.
So yes the writ of Quo Warranto is technically still there since we adopted the common law of England. The likelihood of it even being heard is up there with someone really honest becoming president.

(1) “I write separately to articulate my belief that the eighteen-month maximum duration imposed on a civil contempt sanction by the Recalcitrant Witness Statute should be a presumptive benchmark for all civil contempt incarcerations. A sanction lasting more than four times the congressional benchmark for such punishments is so extreme that, as Judge Walker rightly directs, the district court should undertake soon to revisit whether Armstrong’s imprisonment has slipped into the impermissible terrain of a punitive sanction. The Supreme Court has made clear that “[d]ue process requires that the nature and duration of commitment bear some reasonable relation to the purpose for which the individual is committed.” In the context of civil contempt, the Supreme Court has also made clear that, at some point, an imprisoned contemnor must be released… This Court has joined the Third Circuit in holding that the Recalcitrant Witness statute’s eighteen-month limit on incarceration for civil contempt represents Congress’s carefully-considered attempt to find the line between coercive and punitive detention. … It has not been suggested that Congress’s resolution of the problem is unreasonable, and it would therefore appear to be inappropriate for the judiciary to substitute its judgment for that of the legislative body by undertaking as a routine matter to draw finer lines than Congress has already drawn between coercive and punitive periods of confinement. … We held “that in the absence of unusual circumstances,” it would be inappropriate for a reviewing court “to conclude, as a matter of due process, that a civil contempt sanction has lost its coercive impact at some point prior to the eighteen-month period prescribed as a maximum by Congress.” Id. This due process presumption should work in the opposite direction, as well: Except in unusual circumstances, a civil contempt sanction longer than eighteen months should be presumed to be punitive. … When officers of government violate the law, exceed the authority provided through the Constitution or fail to follow their primary responsibilities to the people, it falls to the people to hold those officers accountable. However, the people generally seem to have no idea how they can possibly accomplish that necessary task to keep government operating within the limitations prescribed by the Constitution.“
FIFA & U.S. Law
The greatest exports of the United States have been McDonalds, blue jeans, rock ‘n’ roll, and of course laws that they stretch to worldwide jurisdiction. All roads lead to Washington, not Rome. Outside the USA, the FIFA arrests have sparked a huge controversy as to why the USA becomes involved in soccer when they do not really participate in the sport on a major level. To answer that question you have to understand that having ANY contact with the USA places your organization at risk of U.S. law, no matter where you are.
Chuck Blazer rose high in FIFA and by 2011 was living the high life in two apartments – one for him and one, reputedly, for his cats – above FIFA’s regional office in nearby Trump Tower in New York City. It was a major mistake to have an office in the USA, as that opens doors for prosecution in the USA for alleged crimes elsewhere. What you have to understand is that the United States has CONSPIRACY where most other countries do not recognize that concept as a crime.
CONSPIRACY is highly dangerous, for they do not need to prove you did anything, the crime is merely an “agreement.” How do they prove CONSPIRACY? All one must do is threaten someone into admitting that they committed a crime that you somehow agreed to in some fashion, even if the other person is the one whom committed the act.
In the case of FIFA, agents from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and FBI wanted to know why Blazer failed to pay taxes on his share of $151 million in alleged bribes and kickbacks, which are said to have been sloshing through FIFA’s hands for two generations. According to the New York Daily News, the agents said to him, “We can take you away in handcuffs now, or you can cooperate.” Blazer then became the government’s rat, fearing prison he will give up everything and everyone to save himself. When my own case began, the FBI and I took a walk in the park before going into court. They used the same line – “This can go all away.” They wanted to turn me into a rat. My lawyer warned me that would be the pitch and that I should say no. Otherwise, I would have been a plant in the industry for the rest of my life, forced to give them info and to show up as some expert witness here and there.
The Swiss police, acting on behalf of the FBI, burst into the Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich at dawn to arrest seven other FIFA officials, revealing charges against seven further defendants. The arrests in Switzerland illustrate just how different the prosecutors act in the USA compared to Switzerland. In Zurich, the officials were led out behind white sheets held up by hotel staff to protect them from waiting cameras. In the USA, the prosecutors use such arrests to further their personal careers to become famous. American prosecutors love to display the people they arrest to the media, since it furthers their personal careers to land one of those big paying jobs or enter politics. At the Miami headquarters of FIFA’s North American branch, the arrested officers were put on display, not shielded.
All the USA needs is to turn one person and that proves the CONSPIRACY. So any organization can be charged by any office branch that will lead them right back to the headquarters, no matter where you are. That is how U.S. law operates. Yes, on the surface they assume FIFA is the World Cup, which is not a big sport in the USA, so why is the USA getting involved? The real question: why did they have offices in the USA to start with? This is how they took down the Swiss banks. Any branch in the USA opens the door all the way back to the headquarters. If you do not understand U.S. law, you better say out of the game.
With Chuck Blazer now a government rat, he can spill the beans or make up anything to keep some of his cash and avoid prison time. The rest will just fall like dominoes. They will put Blazer on the stand and he can say he did this or that, and they knew about it, and are thus guilty of the crime of CONSPIRACY.
Is Gold Becoming Illegal?
There is a very curious new development with respect to gold. In many European countries, people can no longer buy retail gold coins for bullion. Shops will buy but no one is selling. Banks that previously offered gold to the public have shut down in Spain. If someone leaves Spain wearing a lot of jewelry, authorities will pull them aside to weigh whatever jewelry they may have.
Little by little, this hunt for money by desperate government is turning toward gold. Shutting down retail sales is quite alarming, for what typically follows is some decree of forcing the public to turn over bullion by a certain date, or thereafter it can be confiscated and illegal to even own.
Meanwhile, April saw the biggest decline in gold shipment to China that traditionally goes through Switzerland. In April, they fell 67%. As the economy has been turning down in Asia, the demand for gold has fallen by about 36%.
With governments in Europe cutting off the ability to buy gold, which is already declining in demand, mixed with the rising dollar, everything warns that the final low for gold may be on the horizon.
Hoarding Gold in Times of Trouble
Perhaps one of the most famous discoveries from Pompeii is known as the Boscoreale Treasure. This discovery came to light in 1895, when the treasure was uncovered among volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on August 24, 79 AD. In 1895, excavations at a Roman villa at Boscoreale on the slopes of Vesuvius unearthed a remarkable hoard of coins, 109 items of silverware, and over 1,000 gold aurei, the latest of which dates to 78 AD with many pieces dating back decades prior, such as the gold aureus of Nero (54-68 AD). The villa that held the coins lain undisturbed until 1876, yet the coin hoard lay undiscovered for almost another 30 years. The original owner hid the treasure in a wine tank prior to the eruption, so it was not immediately discovered.
Unfortunately, there was never a formal study of the Boscoreale coins prior to being dispersed into the market. Consequently, we do not know the full extent of the find. Nevertheless, the coins are easily identifiable for a distinctive feature of this hoard from Boscoreale is their deep red toning, and the term “Boscoreale” is now used in auction catalogs to describe similar discoloration on any Roman gold. The coinage of Boscoreale does tend to be well preserved.
The Boscoreale treasure included a remarkable set of tableware reflecting the quality of Roman silverwork in the 1st century AD. The decoration on these two cups illustrates a most curious theme. There are Epicurean maxims (engraved in dots) and the skeletons of poets and Greek philosophers, representing an invitation to enjoy the present for death comes to us all.
These two silver cups pictured here, are famous for their strange decoration. A Latin inscription on the base of one of the cups gives their weight and the name of their owner, Gavia.
The ring of skeletons depicted on these two cups has similar and complementary decoration depicting tragic and comic poets, as well as famous Greek philosophers, beneath a garland of roses. Greek inscriptions engraved in dots form captions and are accompanied by Epicurean maxims such as, “Enjoy life while you can, for tomorrow is uncertain.” Clotho, one of the Fates, looks on as Menander, Euripides, Archilochus, Monimus the Cynic, Demetrius of Phalera, Sophocles, and Moschion provide a caustic and ironic illustration of the fragility and vanity of the human condition. But the main message of the cups’ decoration is that life should be enjoyed to the fullest. Zeno and Epicurus, the founders of the Stoic and Epicurean philosophies in the 4th century BC, confront each other before two mating dogs — a detail of some significance, as it represents the triumph of Epicureanism.
Silver and gold coins from ancient times have survived, as well as bronze. Silver can be effected by the sea and at times when it is debased. Bronze requires certain conditions to survive in good form. So if you intend to bury your gold and silver in the backyard, keep in mind that humanity has been doing this in times of trouble since before recorded history.
