Talk about a white Christmas, for the last four days my wireless Internet connection has been inoperative, probably due to the 18 inch snowfall. I live in a forest. The trees were heavily laden with snow and obviously blocking the signal.
Perhaps my lack of connection was for a reason. I’ve had lots of time to think about this blog. I warn you, it is more provocative than usual.
My audacious letter to U.S. Attorney General William B. Saxbe in 1973, advising him that he was unconstitutional in his interpretation of tax law( his boss, Ronald Reagan, hinted it in a speech) got the IRS on me. The most powerful nation on the planet, if not the worst, is at least the biggest fraud ever in the history of man, and quite naturally—power is mindless. The current power play started in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration. It has been building ever since. Franklin D. Roosevelt: “While it isn’t written in the Constitution, nevertheless it is the inherent duty of the Federal government to keep its citizens from starvation.” Admittedly, Roosevelt and the Democrats forced an unconstitutional change in the law.
Our keepers of the law don’t know that while the laws of physics are fixed and immutable, we humans are not fixed and unchanging. We’re on the move. Instead of interpreting the law in light of today’s needs, our keepers of the law change the fixed and unchanging law. Federal income tax will not stand up under the U.S. Constitution. How do I know? I’ve studied the law as it was written, not as lawyers interpret the law. The law in practice in the United States will not pass constitutional muster, nor the “Higher Law.”
To help steer us away from the blind alleys legal authority is taking us, it helps to think naturally: aesthetically. As well as in art, aesthetics now enters quantum physics. Symmetry is a key part of quantum physics. By diligently following symmetry in mathematical conclusions, quantum physics unites, not only nature’s forces, but the material universe in supersymmetric oneness. Superstring theory is the end result—the “theory of everything.” Religion, the law, science—in order to be effective in making our world better—are all in one mold.
Rather than individual grants in aid, World War II ended hard times. Common sense says it is more right to borrow money for peaceful purposes than to build weapons of war. We were forced into World War II because those authorities in control did not know the law. It was evil men who forced on us World War II. The same type of authority that did not know how to deal with the stock market adjustment in 1929, who caused the Great Depression, who caused the rise of Hitler by creating a worldwide depression—all for personal control—are the same kind of power brokers who are today repeating the same mistakes, leading us to another world war.
Hard economic times is no reason to assume an unconstitutional government duty. Individual grants in aid, unless the individual is mentally or physically incapable of taking care of his or her own needs, is poisonous to liberty..
Some of us fail to see where God is hiding. I was one them; that is, until my eyes were opened—at a time when both my business enterprise of twenty-five years and my second marriage were on the rocks. When I read Edward S. Corwin’s essay, The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law, I had a bigger than life calling. I was inspired to act on what I knew to be right.
I went to the county law library and studied the law—allowed those who came before me to advise me. In 1975, I took my case to the U.S. Tax Court. The IRS decided to make me pay. It only made me more determined. I filed three complaints in U.S. District Courts. I appealed to the U. S. Court of Appeals, and to the U.S. Supreme Court, all to no avail. For eleven years, the IRS was allowed to continue to take tax from me I didn’t owe. In 1986, the IRS went to my bank and confiscated every cent in my checking account—in violation of a District Court Order. The District Court refused to reopen the case.
I took the court record to The Palm Beach Post, who made an investigation. The IRS publically admitted that for 11 years (in violation of court orders) it had “mistakenly” confiscated from me tax money I did not owe. My money was returned—with impunity. In the opinion of the United States of America, the end justifies the means. Many Americans would say that I got what I deserved; those who play with fire get burned. You could also say that playing with fire got Jesus nailed to a cross. He turned over the money changers’ tables in the temple.
In his Sermon on the Mount, said Jesus: “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Jesus, a man of peace, was not a man who spoke only of good. He also spoke of evil. Much is left to question in the story of Adam and Eve. Is it a sin to know both good and evil? “In the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes will be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil”(Gen. 3:5). How can one know good without knowing evil? Is it not good that we are born innocent, evil that we are born in sin? Evil men make us evil.
Why did a Roman court send Jesus to the cross? Why did America’s courts not back me? Why did they not back America’s slaves? Why did it take a war to free America’s slaves? Why did Nazi Germany’s courts not back Jews? Why did it take a war? Why do so many freedom loving Americans refuse to think for themselves. Question external authority. Look within and find yourselves. My life changed for the better after I took possession of my sacred self.
Good intentions are not good enough. Praying for peace is not good enough. We are not merely cogs in a big wheel—here to obey those granted power. We—each and every one of us—are actually each here for a unique purpose. As we enter an era when it is increasingly difficult to probe reality, here with increasing purpose, pay attention to Saint Augustine, who asked us to distinguish the ages. If we will but do that, says he, the scriptures harmonize.
Since we all have different life experiences, there are all sorts of observations. When we are on our individual paths of destiny, success comes from internally knowing how to determine good and reasonable intentions from passion. The ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, “Even the best of men in authority are liable to be corrupted by passion. We may conclude then that the law is reason without passion and it is therefore preferable to any individual.” Before the betrayal and arrest of Jesus, he said: “Put up again thy sword into his place: for they that take the sword shall perish with the sword” (Matthew 26:52). The Prince of Peace, for daring to question authority, was crucified. As in our time, in Jesus’ time men did not recognize the Higher Law. Jesus prophesied that the meek will inherit the earth. In my legal challenge of Federal income tax, I questioned authority. By the blood of many who came before me, I swore to myself that I’d force authority to admit it was mistaken. If we don’t demand our rights, there will come the time that we will not have the right to demand. As the Bible tells us in the Revelations, a vengeful God will force us into the Battle of Armageddon.
It is not good to refuse to face evil and deal with it. I was born with the birth of quantum mechanics and understand it from a different perspective than most. It was by and through quantum mechanics that the atomic bomb came into existence. Is that not reason enough to question authority? In quantum physics, “The observer interacts with matter. Consciousness, the substance of this new-found reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality,” this, my guru, Evan Harris Walker’s take. When I’ve been on my path of destiny, everything has gone right. I know when I’ve been off course. If anything could go wrong, it did. The same that applies to me applies to nations. We, the American people, know we are off of our path of destiny. What are we doing about it?
Know that you hold the key to every situation; that you contain within you the transforming and regenerative energy to make yourselves anything you will. What Wall Street did to the American economy is evil, and the same goes for banks, insurers, and auto makers, but most of all, the United States. Those good intentions we are now hearing about from America’s false prophets in Washington have resulted in an economic meltdown. The United States is spending a trillion dollars in taxpayer money to bail out a thoroughly corrupt government—chaining future generations to an astronomical debt. While the American people sit silently watching it happen, Washington is killing the goose that laid the golden egg! The bailout is not only a dictum of financial disaster, it is spiritually and morally bankrupting America, and is as well a significant threat to the American people’s security.
Our Constitution was corrupted by self-serving politicians during the Roosevelt Administration, who made it a duty of government to redistribute the nation’s resources according to political will. Know that it will only be the determination of the American people that can turn the ship of state from its present disastrous course and steer America to the peace loving, prosperous nation America was intended to be.
In September 1997, I read in Wired magazine “New Rules for the New Economy” by Kevin Kelly. I knew at the time I read the article—without a shadow of a doubt—that Kelly was on target for the vision of America I envision. I saved the article, as it turns out, for this occasion.
Kelly gives us “twelve dependable principles for thriving in a turbulent world . . . Those who play by the new rules will prosper; those who ignore them will not. . . wealth in this new regime flows directly from innovation, not optimization; that is, wealth is not gained by perfecting the known, but by imperfectly seizing the unknown.” Wealth gained, individual—wealth drained, government—the Higher Law, what a shame! The “Higher Law” forbids government from redistributing wealth from individual to individual.
Long gone is the Great Depression and any need of government help to the individual. “The most promising technologies making their debut now,” says Kelly, “are chiefly due to communication between computers. Information’s critical rearrangement is the widespread relentless act of connecting everything to everything else.” It is a complete and total change in matters that directly concern and effect the economy. Yet the just elected remain married to Roosevelt’s Great Depression “New Deal.” Why?
Politicians manipulate things to keep everything just right (for themselves) giving the American people the allusion of security. Why do so many hate the Bush Administration? With Congress’s help, they watched our national debt soaring out of control. Polls tell us that a minuscule percentage of the American people approve of Congress. So why? We’re divided in what to do. Common sense tells you that you can’t keep borrowing money in order to live well. You’ve got to face the reality of the situation. With our personal and national debt soaring out of control, both Democrats and Republicans now acting defensively, throwing a trillion dollars of future taxpayers’ money after a failed system, mindlessly clinging to the past, wake up, America!
There is no defense. “Under the seeming exercise of the taxing power,” if the taxing statute “is so arbitrary as to compel the conclusion that it was not the exertion of taxation, but the confiscation of property, or is so wanting in basis for classification as to produce such a gross and patent inequity as inevitably to lead to the same conclusion” (from Brushaber v Union Pacific Railroad, the court case that gave approval to Federal income tax), the authorities would just as soon that you don’t know that. The income tax is unlawful and tax collection lawless. The Fifth Amendment would stop the United States in its tracks. Not only does a person not have to testify against himself, what you don’t hear from the legal frauds in control of the law is that a person may not be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. It means that any and all taxpayers have the unquestionable right to be heard in a meaningful way in a meaningful place. By court policy, that right was denied me. It’s a political expedience. I was in six courts of law, including the U.S. Supreme Court. Not one of them heard my case. One and all, the American judiciary allowed the IRS to get away with lawlessly confiscating my property.
Something else you don’t hear. The American judiciary has a policy of “preferred freedoms.” It means those government entitled are being heard when government attempts to take away their entitlements. It means the United States is a bald-faced liar and a fraud—favoring the government entitled, robbing the taxpayer. Washington, there to represent the American people, yet not a single representative stood up for this pauper when the IRS lawlessly took away my existence. The IRS admitted it on the front page of The Palm Beach Post. The IRS, in the name of Federal income tax, lawlessly put me on the street, and not a peep from anyone. It could be you or your children. Washington is not your friend. It is all recorded. What they tell us is that they are working hard to correct the mistakes. They’ve been telling us that for 40 years, while the mistakes grow exponentially. What do you think Jesus meant when he said the meek will inherit the earth?
I spent years studying to law, not in law school, but straight from the books. The American people are not aware that a “legal” tax can be a “lawless”tax. From Black’s Law Dictionary: “‘legal fraud’ is fraud implied or inferred by law, or made out by construction.” According to America’s lawyer’s own dictionary, the United States is a fraud. Lawyers know it; courts know it; politicians know it. The unquestioning American people are giving up their freedom to-out-and-out frauds, giving up the greatest prosperity ever in the history of man, just waiting for the frauds in control to make America third world status.
Kelley’s new rules for the new economy are based on the “Higher Law,” the background of the U.S. Constitution, which I made my business to know and understand. Constitutional government means a system of government in which political power is diffused by a written constitution, and the wielders of power are held in check by the rule of law. As if there were no tomorrow, the American people are allowing the greatest scam of all times to proceed unabated.
The American people are allowing liars and legal frauds to manipulate, not only you out of every right you have, but your children and your children’s children. How can you, in good conscience, allow it? Your rights are not automatic. You’ve got to continually fight for them. Don’t look to America’s lawyers to invoke the rule of law. They are constantly trying to get around the law. Study the law and look within. You, not lawyers, are in charge of the law. America’s economy is being managed in Washington. In order for you to be the most effective, you must be encouraged to work in a free economy.
Kelly gives us twelve principles to know, if you are to take full advantage of the new economy. The first principle: “The Network Economy is fed by the deep resonance of two stellar bangs: the collapsing microcosm of chips and the exploding telecosm of connections. These sudden shifts are tearing the old laws of wealth apart and preparing territory for the emerging economy.”
“As we implant a billion specks of our thought into everything we make, we are also connecting them up. Stationary objects are wired together. The nonstationary rest—that is, most manufactured objects—will be linked by infrared and radio, creating wireless web vastly larger than the wired web.”
Kelly’s second principle: “More gives more. . . Consider the first modern fax machine that rolled off the conveyor belt around 1965. Despite millions of dollars spent on its R&D, it was worth nothing. Zero. The second fax machine to roll of immediately made the first one worth something. . . each additional fax machine sliding down the chute increases the value of all the fax machines.”
The third principle: “Success is nonlinear. . . The archetypical illustration of a success explosion in a Network Economy is the Internet itself. . .for the first time in history we are witnessing biological growth in technological systems. . . The compounded success of Microsoft, FedEx, fax machines, and the Internet all hinge on the prime law of networks: value explodes exponentially with membership, while this value explosion sucks in yet more members. The virtuous circle inflates until all potential members are joined. . . It became feasible—that is, dirt cheap—to exchange data almost anywhere, anytime. The net, the grand net, began to nucleate. Network power followed.
The fourth principle, “The law of tipping points: Significance precedes momentum. . . Success became infectious, so to speak, and spread pervasively to the extent that it became difficult for the uninfected to avoid succumbing. (How long can you hold out not having a phone?) . . . There is always a tipping point in any business, industrial or network, after which success feeds upon itself. However, the low fixed costs, insignificant marginal costs, and rapid distribution that we find in the Network Economy depress tipping points below the levels of industrial times; it is as if the new bugs are more contagious and more potent. Smaller initial pools can lead to runaway dominance. . . In the past, an innovation’s momentum indicated significance. Now, in the network environment, significance precedes momentum.”
The fifth principle, “The law of increasing returns: Make virtuous circles. . .Them that’s got shall get. We see this effect in the way areas such as Silicon Valley grow: each new successful start-up attracts other start-ups. The more dimensions accessible to member input and creation, the more increasing returns can animate the network, the more the system will feed on itself and prosper.”
The sixth principle, “The law of inverse pricing: Anticipate the cheap. . .The very best gets cheaper each year. This rule of thumb is so ingrained in our contemporary lifestyle that we bank on it without marveling at it. But marvel we should, because this paradox is a major engine of the new economy.” I’m on my fourth computer and its outdated. My first TV had a 12" screen. Most of the time, all I got was pattern on my screen. my latest TV has a 42" screen and over 200 full time channels to view.
The seventh principle, “The law of generosity: Follow the free . . . If services become more valuable the plentiful they are (Law #2)and, and if they cost less the better and the more valuable they become (Law #6), then the extension of this logic says that the most valuable things of all should be those that are given away. . . Microsoft gives away its Web browser, Internet Explorer. Can you imagine a young executive in the 1940s telling the board that his latest idea is to give away the first 40 million copies of his only product? . . But now giving away the store for free is an applauded, level headed strategy that banks on the network’s new rules. . . Each human has an absolute limit of only 24 hours per day to provide attention to the millions of innovations and opportunities thrown up by the economy. Giving stuff away garners human attention, or mind share, which then leads to market share.”
The eighth principle, “The law of the allegiance: Feed the web first. . . As consultant John Hagel argues, a company’s primary focus in a networked world shifts from maximizing the firm’s value to maximizing the value of the infrastructure whole. For instance, game companies will devote as much energy promoting the platform—the tangle of users, developers, hardware manufacturers, etc.—as they do to their product. Unless their web thrives, they die.”
The ninth principle, “The law of devolution: Let go at the top. . .The tightly linked nature of any economy, but especially the Network Economy’s ultraconnected constitution, makes it behave ecologically. The fate of individual organizations is not dependent entirely on their own merits, but also on the fate of their neighbors, their allies, their competitors, and, of course, on that of the immediate environment. . . New niches pop up constantly and go away as fast. Competitors sprout beneath you and then gobble your spot up. One day your are king of the mountain, and the next day there is no mountain at all. . . Organizations, like living beings, are hard-wired to optimize what they know. . . Turbulent times mean that local success is not global success. A company may be at peak efficiency, but on the wrong mountain. . . Therefore, there can be no expertise in innovation unless thee is also expertise in demolishing the ensconced. Let go at the top.”
The tenth principle, “The law of displacement: “The net wins. . . Nicholas ‘Atoms-to-Bits’ Negroponte guesstimates that the Network Economy will reach $1 trillion by 2000. What this figure doesn’t represent is the scale of the economic world that is moving onto the Internet—that grand net of interconnected objects—as the Network Economy infiltrates cars and traffic and steel and corn. . . The distinctions between the Network Economy and the industrial economy will fade to the difference of animated versus inert. If money and information flow through something, then it’s part of the Network Economy. In the Network Economy, the net wins. All transactions and objects will tend to obey network logic.”
The eleventh principle, “The law of the churn: “Seek sustainable disequilibrium.”. . . No balance exists in nature; rather, as evolution proceeds, there is perpetual disruption as new species displace old, as natural biomes shift in their makeup, and as organisms and environments transform each other. So it is with the network perspective: companies come and go quickly, careers are patchworks of vocations, industries are indefinite groupings of fluctuating firms . . .the Network Economy has moved from change to churn.”
The twelfth principle, “The law of inefficiencies: “Don’t solve problems. . .This is because productivity is exactly the wrong thing to care about. The only ones who should worry about productivity are robots. And, in fact, the one area of the economy that does show a rise in productivity has been the US and Japanese manufacturing sectors, which have seen about a 3 to 5 percent annual increase throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s. This is exactly where you want to find productivity. But we don’t see productivity gains in the misnamed catch-all category, the service industry—and why would we? Is a Hollywood movie company that produces longer movies per dollar more productive than one who produces shorter movies? . . . Our ability to solve our social and economic problems will be limited primarily by our lack of imagination in seizing opportunities, rather than trying to optimize solutions.”
“The wonderful news about the Network Economy is that it plays right into human strengths. Repetition, sequels, copies, and automation all tend toward the free, while the innovative, original, and imaginative all soar in value.”
Bewitched by a government shell game, the American people are letting this wonderful news slip right through their fingers. There are certain aspects of the law that do not change. Politicians change the law because they know nothing about the makeup of the universe. All they know is enhancing their own control over us. As noted herein, the world we live in today is vastly changed. The old way of thinking is dying a natural death. The Network Economy is going to squeeze the life out of America’s political establishment, and the American people, if they allow it. Who knows who will be the king of the mountain? The United States, in desperation, is using the taxpayers despitefully in its attempt to cling to the past. In the Network Economy, you don’t solve old problems; you seek opportunities. Why on earth do you need to be in a Federal hothouse. At this rate, America is going to end at the bottom of the mountain.
Those willing to take a chance are going to be richly rewarded. Thus, say I, the current proposed bailout of irresponsible high rollers is a futile attempt to cling to the past. It cheats the American people out of the greatest opportunity ever in history for success and prosperity.
Compare today with the world before the invention of the printing press. We have vast oversight capability. The information is readily available to know the latest scientific findings on the makeup of the universe. To combat our enlightenment, in every way possible, both the secular and religious establishments have dumbed down the American people, have caused the American people to fail to see where God really is. My friends, the universe sprang from the very nature of God within the individual. The individual is the vibrant whole, the full meaning of all.
My bigger than life calling began, unconsciously, with my personal assurance that I was right and Federal income tax was wrong. I believed in myself. My own conscience is my guide. We don’t know the power we possess. My guru, quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker, asserts that the God of our future is “the trinity of man, mind, and God—of brain consciousness and collective will.” But that’s not all. There is unity in nature. A universe with matter must have consciousness, say a growing number quantum physicists. Consciousness is the vibrant force, “the theory of everything,” otherwise, there is no accountability of being what we are or who we are. My friends, we’re adrift in a rudderless ship.
String theory finds God hiding in atoms. We are made of atoms. The above mentioned twelve principles for the new economy make the statement that personal responsibility, self-reliance, and resourcefulness are the essential attributes for success and prosperity; dependence on others the road to ruin. The choice is your’s. Let us separate the sheep from the goats. All governments have the penchant for growing more and more corrupt. If you want to be prosperous; if you want America to lead the world; if you want to end the threat of international terrorism; if you want to live in peace; if you are big enough, without a shot being fired, the same as I, you can throw the corrupt, unconstitutional United States out and start over.
