In a
Contract Law Judgment setting, questions sounding in the Tort of
unfairness
regarding the interference of a person not a party to a
contract
in causing a person who is a party to a contract not to honor
his
contract is irrelevant, as I will explain later on; and so when
cries
of unfairness wallow up at the Judgment Day, as claims of
unfairness
will be heard in having had Lucifer's low key assistants
hacking
away at us down here, those cries will then be in vain, as the
unfairness
in Contract Law of outside interference in contract
administration
is irrelevant in measuring contract performance itself.
For
example, the fact that an Employer terminated your livelihood, and
you
subsequently experienced a cessation of money coming in, and so that
now you
are unable to pay your apartment lease payments, is irrelevant
in an
Tenant Eviction Proceeding. Either you
have paid your rent as the
Lease
Contract calls for, or you haven't.
Even though the secondary
effect
of your livelihood being terminated directly restrained you from
honoring
your Lease Contract due to a lack of money, your Employer is
not a
party to that apartment Lease Contract, so what your Employer did
or did
not do is not relevant in a leasehold Eviction Proceeding. That
is
Contract Law Jurisprudence; its cold, mean, and it isn't really very
"fair"
-- so now addressing that face on, we should start to negotiate
our
personal business contracts on terms we can live with, rather than
snicker
at Judges when we are in default later on.
Remember the reason
why
"fairness" is not relevant in a contract grievance: Because if
judges
allowed "fairness," so called, to enter into one side of the
grievance
and benefit one party, the effect of the entrance of such
"fairness"
into the evidentiary setting presented to the Judge for a
ruling,
will always work a Tort on the other party.
What is the correct
solution? Ignore all claims for "fairness"
and just enforce the
contract. Cold, brutal, mean, harsh? Yes... but proper. Rather than
snicker
at Judges at that late date well after you are in default, you
might
want to address the origin of your problem:
You entered into a
contract
you could not handle under a worst case scenario (worst case
meaning
loss of livelihood).
And
those are the kinds of very narrow and precise lines that we need
to
think in, in understanding Contract Law.
You may very well have
legitimate
mitigating circumstances to justify why you could not honor
a
contract -- but is an ELECTION OF REMEDIES for the Party that you are
in
default to, to decide what he intends to do with you, and it is not
anything
for an enforcement judge to take notice of.
But
contrary to the SUB ROSA silence of Lucifer on the existence of any
Contracts
in effect with Father, Father is in fact operating on
Contracts
and under Contract Law Jurisprudence with all of us down here,
and not
on the principles, fairness, equality, and justice of pure
natural
moral Tort Law. So only the content of
our Contracts will be
of
concern to Father at the Last Day.
Under the justice of natural Tort
Law,
the equality of judgment fairness requires that a person be
adjudged
on the basis of how other similar people are being adjudged;
but
this is not relevant to Father for our purposes at our Final
Judgment. [118]
[118]=============================================================
There
are
many people who take the view, seemingly very reasonably that, since
they
have accepted Jesus Christ into their lives, and since they are
just as
good and moral as anyone else they know (and a lot more moral
than
many other people), then it is quite reasonable that they will be
going
to Heaven. This view is very widespread
today, and it is also
quite
defective. First, the fact that you are
just as good and moral
as
anyone else is irrelevant to Father in our impending Judgment Day to
be held
under a Contract Law jurisprudential setting.
Father has no
interest
in any relative or collectively weighed anything. You,
individually
and personally, have either progressed under your Contract,
or you
haven't; and what some guy down the street does or avoids is not
relevant
to you and your Contract. The unfairness
of possibly being
treated
worse than someone else in a grievance is a Tort Law argument.
Second,
the fact that you have accepted Jesus Christ into your life is
very
significant -- but only as a point of beginning, and not as a
terminating
wrap up to anything. The error made by
many Christian folks
-- that
their acceptance of Jesus Christ completes their forward motions
on
Heavenly matters -- is the same error that many other folks make by
assigning
either a terminating or concluding attribute to the execution
of
contracts [like walking out of an automobile dealership with a sigh
of
relief that since you've the contract and the car is your's, well,
that
ends the matter; sorry, but that PURCHASE AND SALE CONTRACT only
started
the matter]. Entering into a contract
-- whether with Heavenly
Father
or anyone else -- is always just a point of beginning, a fact
that
sharp Gremlins have taken very astute notice of. While taking
about a
Diplomatic Treaty that was just signed (and Treaties between
Governments
are contracts): "It is a
fundamental mistake to assume
that
the treaty ends where it really begins.
The signing of the
document
on June 28, 1919 at Versailles did not complete its history;
it
really began it. THE MEASURE OF WORTH
LIES IN THE PROCESS OF ITS
EXECUTION
AND THE SPIRIT IN WHICH IT IS CARRIED OUT BY ALL OF THE
PARTIES
TO THE CONTRACT." - Bernard Baruch in THE MAKING OF THE
REPARATIONS
AND ECONOMIC SECTIONS OF THE TREATY, at page 8 [Harper &
Brothers,
New York (1920)]. (The italics
formation of the last sentence
was
that way in the original, so it represents an idea Bernard Baruch
deemed
important). Here is a Gremlin -- Bernard Baruch --telling us that
when he
participated in partially negotiating the Treaty of Versailles
in
1919, he knew that many folks commonly view the execution of Treaties
to be
the end of the matter; but sharp Gremlins know that contracts only
start
the action in motion; so we too should be cognizant of this
attribute
in Nature.
=============================================================[118]
Those
Torts that are committed by us and those great things that are
done by
us outside of our Contracts are irrelevant to Father (and to
ourselves
at the Judgment Day); also irrelevant will be those factors
of
natural Tort Law, such as fairness, rights, equality, and justice.
So the
Illuminatti, going into the Judgment Day with their pure natural
moral
Tort Law excuses all very neatly lined up to justify, vitiate, and
excuse
their incredible abominations under Lucifer's brilliant
counselling,
will be just like a Constitutionalist, so called, going
into a
7203 prosecution judgment with a bank account contract and
arguing
principles of natural and moral Tort Law (want of a MENS REA,
morality,
rights, basic justice, privacy rights, no CORPUS DELECTI
damages,
unfairness, excessive Eighth Amendment punishment for a mere
omission,
Common Law says..., etc.) and then demanding justice, and all
of
these elements of Tort Law pronounced very well through numerous
Supreme
Court rulings and Constitutional clauses; but they are not
applicable
to the merits of a Contract Law Judgment setting. Both the
pseudo-clever
Illuminatti Gremlin and well-meaning Constitutionalist who
still
needs intellectual development on Contract Law Jurisprudence, are
both
totally convinced that they are absolutely correct -- but the
unknown
reality is that they are both just plain wrong, and for the
identical
same reason: Their arguments,
reasoning, and justifications,
although
absolutely correct in another judgment setting of pure natural
moral
Tort Law, are off-point by a wide variance:
Because in both of
those
Judgment Day and 7203 judgment settings that the Illuminatti
Gremlin
and well-meaning Constitutionalist are being adjudged by, are
under
invisible Contract Jurisprudence and Contract Law, not Tort Law.
[119]
[119]=============================================================
As
a
concluding by-line to this digressionary discussion here on Father and
Contracts,
if you'll but give it a few moments thought and imagination,
it is
interesting to note that this impending Judgment Day arrangement
that
Father designed, gives a generous built in structural edge to those
persons
who are trying to become the Sons of Eloha, and the procedure
itself
also creates obstacles for those who have no interest in such a
Celestial
Objective (as if the operation of the Judgment Day mechanical
procedure
itself assists in separating embryonic Eloha from their
ministrants). So now we need to ask ourselves a
question: Does that
structural
arrangement sound like it comes from someone who knows what
he is
doing? Yes, it sounds like Father knows
exactly what he is doing;
and if
that is true, then we should listen very carefully to anything
Father
has to say and would like us to do. And
consistent with Father's
intentions
to give his Sons the edge whenever possible, while exposing
them to
the same environment and standards as everyone else, comes the
following
arrangement: That after we enter into
Father's Advanced
Contracts
down here there are some other circumstances we can go through
down
here to accelerate the Judgment Day to the present time (but that
is
another Letter). I am only making the
comparative point here that
the
lack of national collective interest on the extreme significance of
that
Judgment Day accelerant statement replicates the lack of national
collective
interest on the extreme significance of bank accounts and
other
high-powered contracts as those Equity instruments define our sub-
parity
relationship with the King. In both
cases, this information is
freely
floating around the countryside, but one first has to define
objectives,
ask questions, and then exert efforts in order to get to and
then
understand answers to questions. (And
it is the discipline and
serious
attitude such a procedure requires which largely explains why
there
are so few people around who possess such important knowledge; not
that
there are few knowledgeable persons that is an inverse indicia to
gauge
the importance of the knowledge).
=============================================================[119]
Knowing
what you do now about Tort Law rationale and our First Estate
Contracts
with Father, let us examine, just for the moment, the Old
Testament's
account of Sodom. There was a city, we
are told, full of
licentiousness
and whoremongering, and although that behavior doesn't
sound
too attractive to most folks, let us consider the fact that in
such
behavior there are no damages being experienced by anyone, there
is no
MENS REA, and that all of the persons who participate in those
orgies
have consented -- and furthermore, biological benefits are
present. (When criminals are about to work a crime on
someone else,
that
advance planning in their minds is called the MENS REA. The reason
why
their mind is evil is because they were about to try and damage
either
another person, or someone else's property).
[120]
[120]=============================================================
Furthermore,
just to make things seem psychologically interesting back
then, I
am sure that Lucifer blended in some ceremonial flair into those
orgies,
by conveying the image that orgies were officially sanctioned,
somehow. Like contemporary Witches emulating their
mentors in Sodom by
performing
Fertility Rites on the Witches' Sabbath, an interesting
sounding
excuse will satisfy most folks. When
Witches are not otherwise
busy
PULLING DOWN THE MOON, almost all of their rites involving licking
down
some slice of meat [see Raymond Buckland's THE TREE, THE COMPLETE
BOOK OF
SAXON WITCHCRAFT, from Seax-Wica Voys, Box 5149, Virginia Beach,
Virginia
23455].
=============================================================[120]
So if
everyone is consenting, and there are no damages, and there is no
MENS
REA, then there is nothing to remedy, and there is no cause of
action
to effect a "retort," and there is no retortional corrective
justice
to apply, since nothing went amiss in the first place. General
reasoning
in this area is very prevalent today (meaning that many folks
today
have no concern for the inappropriate use of those ecstatic
circumstances
which initiate mammalian reproduction).
Heathens don't
like to
hear this kind of talk, but Father actually operates in an
unchanging
straight doctrinal line, without any skew to accommodate the
pleasing
intellectual music devils propagate that are sounding in the
justifying
Tort of liability mitigation, that now, just somehow,
enhanced
relative levels of technical knowledge ["this is the
Information
Age"] or that self-perceived aggrandizement of intellectual
sophistication,
relegates such anachronistic Stone Age bugaboo standards
to a
classification status demeaning to your enlightened standing.
[121]
[121]=============================================================
"We
do not
believe in situation-itis; we do not go with the people who think
that
there is a different age, that this is a different time, that these
people
are more enlightened, or that [this standard] was for old times.
Always
the Lord will hold to his statements that he has given through
the
ages, and he will expect men to respect themselves, to respect their
wives,
and the wives to respect their husbands."
- Spencer W.
Kimball
in CONFERENCE REPORTS ["God The Same Today"], page 162 (April,
1975).
=============================================================[121]
What
then gives Father the right to expect technical compliance with
such
ecstatic extracurricular circumstances that every person knows
Father
does not approve the inappropriate use of?
What gives Father the
right
to penalize us for engaging in circumstances that not only damage
no one,
but are actually biologically beneficial -- circumstances which
when
administered clinically during the formative years under a
therapeutic
factual setting will actually correct impending deviancy
inclinations? The answers lies in Contracts, for where
there lies a
Contract,
a regulatory jurisdiction is in effect and there doesn't have
to be
any damages experienced for someone to be penalized for technical
Contract
violations; and furthermore, your excuses for non-compliance
are
irrelevant should a grievance ever come to pass. That is where
Father
got the right to turn Sodom upside down and terminate all people
living
therein, and Father did so without any nymph in Sodom being
damaged,
everyone consenting to that behavior, and the residents of
Sodom
never manifesting an evil state of mind towards other residents,
as
pure, raw fleshy Hedonism was practiced without let up. [122]
[122]=============================================================
"As
a young
man David demonstrated a courage and a strength and a power that
likely
has not been equaled in all of the great characters of the
scriptures. He fought with wild beasts and overcame
them, defeated the
giant
Goliath virtually with his hands, and then served through many
years
as the leader of Israel and demonstrated in the process tremendous
control,
tremendous discipline. The greatest
enemy he had, perhaps,
through
most of these years -- at least the greatest threat to his
existence
-- was the man Saul. Yet on several
occasions when David
could
have removed this threat by taking the life of Saul, who was in
his
hands, [David] withheld [himself] and controlled those impulses.
That
demonstrated tremendous power and control.
Then later in life, as
a
mature man with all the strength that kind of life had brought him,
David
was unwise. It was not because David
was weak that he fell. He
was
unwise. I suspect that David had
reached the point where he felt
he was
strong enough to indulge the entertainment of some enticing
possibilities. On the day he stood on his rooftop and
observed the wife
of one
of his officers, instead of taking himself by the nape of the
neck,
so to speak, and saying 'David, get out of here!' David remained.
David
thought about the possibilities [of getting involved with this
slice
of meat], and those thoughts overcame David and eventually
controlled
him. One of the saddest entries in all
the scriptures, I
think,
is that which the Lord gave the Prophet Joseph Smith in Section
132 of
the DOCTRINES AND COVENANTS. Speaking
of David's situation
today,
he said, 'For he hath fallen from his exaltation, and received
his
portion.' (D&C 132:39). "...David, King David, one of the greatest
and
powerful men of the Old Testament times, could have been today among
the
Gods if he had controlled his thoughts." - Dean L. Larsen
in 1976
SPEECHES OF THE YEAR, at 121 [Brigham Young University Press,
Provo,
Utah (1976)]. The chronicles of David's life are presented in
FIRST
and SECOND SAMUEL. Notice how there was
never any unjust damages
created
by David in his life down here; David did not lose his
exaltation
because he carefully avoided damaging others, as a lot of
folks
in Christiandom incorrectly believe is important, but actually
David
lost his Celestial Status in the impending Heavenly realms that
lie
ahead because of an infracted Contract under circumstances that
created
no damages whatsoever [David mentions that he entered into
Father's
EVERLASTING COVENANT in II SAMUEL 23:5], the content of which
prohibits
promiscuous masculine excursions into the interior contours
of
feminine musculature, under certain circumstances. The defense
argument
that such ecstatic circumstances create a wide ranging array
of
beneficial biological and psychological side effects (which is
factually
correct) is not going to be relevant at the Last Day -- just
like
Tax Protesting arguments sounding in the Tort of Constitutional
unfairness
are not relevant when Federal Judges are enforcing express
Commercial
contracts (even though the Protestor is also factually
correct
as well in his Constitutional research).
And Protestors
continue
to lose today on the same grounds and for the same reasons that
good
Christian folks will lose the Celestial Kingdom and take an
honorable
second place as an Angel: Because of
failure to identify and
come to
grips with a series of invisible Contracts, and for failing to
appreciate
the extent to which contracts are elevated in Nature to an
overruling
dominate position in settling Judgments.
Father's Covenants
were
deliberately designed to provide PERSONS operating under its
jurisdictional
penumbra with a confluence of contrasting incentives to
exercise
judgment on, and it is the outcome of those decisions which
Covenant
operants make for themselves -- that is what Father wants to
see. Yet David, while he was still alive down
here, knew that he had
blown
it but good: "[Jesus Christ told
me that] he that ruleth over men
must be
just, ruling in the fear of God [and this is important to Father
because
impending Gods will themselves be ruling over angels and the
like in
the realms to come]. [...These just
persons, who are potential
Gods],
shall be as light in the morning, when the sun riseth, even a
morning
without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the Earth
by
clear shining after rain." After describing such a potential
Celestial
person in those terms, David admitted that he did not qualify:
"...although my house be not so with
God."
-
II SAMUEL 23:3 et seq.
=============================================================[122]
The
questions of damages, of the presence of a MENS REA, and of consent
are
Tort Law arguments, and are not relevant when contracts are in
effect. But wait,
"I was never baptized, I never
entered me into no Contracts with
Father. My parents never got me involved with no
church. I don't have
me no
baptism certificate in my closet."
Yes,
even you have invisible Contracts now in effect with Father. We
all
have Contracts in effect, and we all took out these contracts, all
of us
without any exceptions did this, back in the First Estate as
Spirits. And it was then and there that we were on
our knees before
Father
taking out Contracts in the angelic language we were then
speaking,
back before our memories were temporarily abated down here,
that's
when.
This
then is the Grand Key towards understanding why people want
contracts
out of you: Because that contract you
gave them gives them
the
right to deal with you effectively at a later time. In the case of
Heavenly
Father, those previous existing First Estate Contracts give
Father
the right to deal effectively with us at a later time, both
individually
and collectively down here, should our degenerate Contract
wickedness
exceed his patience and threshold level of tolerance (as the
Old
Testament documents over and over again), as well as providing a
Contract
Law Jurisprudential judgment setting at the Last Day where Tort
Law
arguments of EVIL ACCOMPLISHED IN THE GOOD NAME OF JUSTICE are
ignored. In the case of the King, he too wants
contracts out of us to
accomplish
his revenue raising objectives, and then later enforceable
against
us under threat of incarceration otherwise not permissible
absent
a Commercial contract. In the case of
Lucifer and certain Mafia
Families,
they too deal in contracts to deal effectively at a later time
with a
dissenter who leaves their ranks and starts to talk or otherwise
creates
troubles: By having the dissenter
killed. In a contemporary
Commercial
setting, merchants, lending institutions, landlords, etc. all
want
recourse contracts out of you so they can deal effectively with you
at a
later time in Summary Judgment proceedings should there be a
default. And on and on. [123]
[123]=============================================================
Illuminatti
Gremlins, vipers, Bolsheviks, witches and other associated
imps
who circulate in that genre are not the only ones to be fooled and
taken
in on Tort Law reasoning down here. Certain
eremitical monks are
another
prime example of well meaning people arranging their acts and
behavior
down here to take maximum advantage of the "avoidance of
damages"
question that haunts so many people. Of
the numerous orders
of
monks around, such as the Trappists, the Carthusians, and the
Benedictines,
perhaps it is several of the Black Monk abbeys in Europe
that
are exemplary in their zeal not to damage anything, anyone, or any
property,
at any time. These particular Black
Monks are doctrinaire
Benedictine
Monks. But unique to their own
monastery sect, they walk
through
the air slowly and lead isolated and inactive lives. On their
minds,
they are taught not to influence the direction of anything else
(i.e.,
avoid potential damages there). In
Saint Benedictine's Rules
[E.C.
Butler, BENEDICTINE MONACHISM (1924)], chapters 23 to 30 talk
about
the relationship in effect between fault for damages and
punishments
to be expected. The head monk, the
Abbott, is taught that
he will
be held accountable to answer for the souls of all of his monks
before
the judgment seat of God (chapters 2, 3, 27 and 64). Both the
willful
avoidance of damaging anything, and the doctrine that the Abbott
is
responsible before Father for the acts of others are Tort Law
arguments,
and are defective. Heavenly Father is
dealing in Contracts;
and
expecting yourself to be magnified in stature before Father at the
Last
Day due to the mere absence of not having caused any damages down
here or
assuming responsibility for what a third person does or does not
do, is
absolutely incorrect. The only third
party line of liability
down
here that we need to be concerned originates with Contracts, such
as one
that deems parents to be responsible for the acts of their
offspring,
if the child goes off on a negative tangent.
=============================================================[123]
Those
who want to go forth and FILL THE MEASURE OF THEIR CREATION, just
like
Prophets and Patriarchs, need to go out and get some replacement
Contracts
with Father; [124]
[124]=============================================================
Our
old
Patriarch Jeremiah once had a few words to say about the Principle
of
Nature that provides for a superseding layer of Covenants replacing
a
previous layer of Covenants that have fulfilled their purpose. While
quoting
Jesus Christ, Jeremiah said that:
"Behold, the days come,
saith
the Lord, that I will make a NEW COVENANT with the House of
Israel,
and with the House of Judah; Not according to the Covenant that
I made
with their fathers in that day [when] I took them by the hand to
bring
them out of Egypt; which my Covenant they [broke], although I was
a
husbandman to them; but this shall be the Covenant that I will make
with the
House of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put
my Law
in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be
their
God, and they shall be my people."
- JEREMIAH 31:31 et seq.
Here we
are being told that the terms of Covenants that were once
structured
for folks in another area are going to be replaced with terms
of a
NEW COVENANT for us; indirectly referring to the modifications made
in the
LAW OF MOSES relating to blood sacrifice rites that were deemed
unnecessary
after the Crucifixion perfected that phase of ATONEMENT.
This
passage in JEREMIAH does not talk about our own specific individual
First
Estate Contracts being replaced with another layer of NEW
COVENANTS
in this Second Estate, but the Principle that is being spoken
here,
of an organic growth in Covenants by reason of superseding
replacement,
applies to us all individually, just as Jeremiah is telling
us that
it applies to the House of Israel collectively. The operation
of this
Principle of Nature, whether applied to us individually COVENANT
BY
SUCCESSIVE COVENANT or collectively as a nation by a change in the
terms
of those COVENANTS EN MASSE, is well known in Law and is called
the
MERGER DOCTRINE by American lawyers, which I will discuss later.
Jeremiah
was a marvelous fellow, and I will have more to say about him
personally
near the end of this Letter.
=============================================================[124]
the
status of a person being a Prophet or Apostle down here does not
exalt
them or confer upon them any special entitlement, as everyone is
exalted
by reason of their Covenants with Father, and their status as
Prophets
are actually an administrative work assignment for them. [125]
[125]=============================================================
Your
ability
to be exalted is neither diminished nor exalted because you are
not a
Prophet or an Apostle. "Here [we
Apostles and Prophets are], who
[like
common Saints], are destined to be exalted with the Gods, to
become rulers
in the Kingdoms of our Father, to become equal with the
Father
and the Son..." - Brigham Young, in a discourse delivered
in the
Bowery, Salt Lake City, June 15, 1856; 3 JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES
354, at
360 [London (1856)].
=============================================================[125]
You
don't need to be a Prophet, or raise people from the dead, or be
endowed
with Celestial magic to snap your fingers and heal people of
cancer,
in order to go forth and FILL THE MEASURE OF YOUR CREATION, but
you do
need to fulfill difficult Contracts.
[126]
[126]=============================================================
"We
are a
Covenant-making and a Covenant-taking people.
We have the Gospel,
which
is the NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT:
NEW in that the Lord has
revealed
it anew in our day; EVERLASTING in that its principles are
eternal,
have existed with God from all eternity, and are the same
unchangeable
laws by which all men in all ages may be Saved. The Gospel
is the
Covenant which God makes with his children here on Earth that he
will
return them to His presence and give them Eternal Life, if they
will
walk the paths of truth and righteousness while here. "We are the
children
of the Covenant which God made with Abraham, or father. To
Abraham,
God promised Salvation and Exaltation if he would walk as the
Lord
taught him to walk. Further, the Lord
Covenanted with Abraham that
he
would restore to Abraham's seed the same laws and ordinances, in all
their
beauty and perfection, which that ancient patriarch had received.
'For as
many as receive that Gospel,' the Lord said to him, 'shall be
called
after thy name, and shall be accounted thy seed, and shall rise
up and
bless thee, as their father.' (Abraham
2:10). "Now we have this
same
EVERLASTING COVENANT. We have the
restored Gospel, and every
person
who belongs to the Church, who has passed through the waters of
Baptism,
has had the inestimatable privilege of making a personal
Covenant
with the Lord that will save him provided he does the things
he
agrees to do when he enters into that Covenant with God." -
Bruce
R. McConkie in CONFERENCE REPORTS ["A Covenant People"], at page
13
(October, 1950). "The Latter-day Saints are the people of God, a
chosen
people, a royal priesthood, a covenant people, and a covenant-
making
people. The greatest and most important
blessings our Heavenly
Father
has for his faithful sons and daughters are received by
covenant." -
George F. Richards, in CONFERENCE REPORTS, page 129
(April,
1945).
=============================================================[126]
...Which
leads us to the conclusory observation regarding the overall
wisdom
of ignoring the terms and conditions of contracts we sometimes
improvidently
get ourselves into: That people who are
well seasoned
experientially
realize that although ignorance may very well be bliss
in the
dreamy ALICE IN WONDERLAND emotional aura it psychologically
creates,
this line on Contract Law Jurisprudence is exemplary as to why
ignorance
is also highly self-damaging in the practical setting. [127]
[127]=============================================================
"The
first
objective of our existence is to know and understand the
principles
of life, to know good from evil, to understand light from
darkness,
to have the ability to choose between that which gives and
perpetuates
life and that which would take it away.
The volition of the
creature
to choose is free; we have this power given to us." -
Brigham Young, President of the Mormon
Church, speaking in the Old
Tabernacle,

Yes,
the benefits inuring to persons entering into and honoring Father's
New and
Everlasting Covenant are so great that the judgment of folks
trying
to search for ways to work around it (by either adapting Tort Law
reasoning
["I don't need me none of that -- it's all the same God"] or
by
adapting a posture of avoiding responsibility through claims of
factual
ignorance), really looks pathetic by comparison. [128]
[128]=============================================================
"We
can not
receive, while in the flesh, the keys [of Celestial
Jurisdiction]
to form and fashion kingdoms and to organize matter, for
they
are beyond our [limited] capacity and calling [down here], [they
are]
beyond this world. In the resurrection,
men who have been faithful
and
diligent in all things in the flesh, [who] have kept their First and
Second
Estate, [will] be crowned Gods, even the Sons of God, [and] will
be
ordained to organize matter [and then go off and create and people
their
own planets]." - Brigham Young, in a discourse delivered
in
Farmington, Utah, August 24, 1872; 15 JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES 135, at
137
[London (1873)].

And
speaking of ignorance (and of staying in ignorance by choice): An
interesting
secondary element surfaces in the Restraining Order and the
chronologically
correlative criminal prosecution of Armen Condo. Not
only
did Armen Condo not honor his contracts with the King, he did not
even
know of their existence. [129]
[129]=============================================================
A
necessarily
difficult position to be in. However,
since ignorance,
whether
real or pretended, of the contract's existence does not vitiate
one's
liability, then restraining one's self to remain within the
contours
of such intellectual containment, in such a state of ignorance
is
self-damaging, and is to be discouraged.
And as for the Law of
Contracts,
whether known or unknown: "A
contract is an agreement in
which a
party undertakes to do, or not to do, a particular thing. The
law
binds him to perform his undertaking, and this is, of course, the
obligation
of the contract." - STURGES VS. CROWNINSHIELD, 17 U.S.
122, at
197 (1819).
=============================================================[129]
This
state of affairs of throwing criminal prosecutions against people
who do
not even know of the evidentiary existence of a contract the King
is
operating on, has been under consideration and review by the King's
Agents
in Washington. Staff members in the
Treasury Department have
been
analyzing the possible benefits and consequences to the King if,
in the
justification of the Income Tax, the IRS were to shift over to
a
correct presentation of the Law, in the context of proper and natural
morality
and ethics, based on a voluntary attachment of Equity
Jurisdiction,
and applicable only to a special class of people. At the
present
time, the IRS presentation of the Law, in explaining why an
Income
Tax is to be paid, continuously shifts attention over to the 16th
Amendment,
and kind of winds up by saying that:
"...well, we collect the tax from
every one because the 16th
Amendment
tells us we need to."
You may
be surprised to hear this somewhat pleasant note, but there is
internal
disagreement within the Treasury Department on the long term
wisdom
of such an erroneous presentation of the Law.
And both Armen
Condo
and Irwin Schiff are prime exemplary models to explain this
interesting
change in viewpoint now in intellectual gestation within the
senior
administrative rank and file of the King's own tax collectors.
In
Treasury staff meetings ever since the early 1970's, there has been
concern
expressed regarding the growing Tax Resistance Movement, so
called. [130]
[130]=============================================================
"A
growing
number of taxpayers are developing negative perceptions of the
Federal
Income Tax. For example, surveys
conducted by the ADVISORY
COMMISSION
ON INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS finds that Americans perceive
the
Federal Income Tax as the worst tax imposed on them and the least
fair. Further, tax evasion appears on the rise --
paralleling the
increase
in negative perception." - Steven Kaplan and Phillip
Reckers
in A STUDY OF TAX EVASION JUDGMENTS in 38 National Tax Journal
97, at
97 (March, 1985); citing in turn the research of Myers and
Shannon
in CHANGING PUBLIC ATTITUDES ON GOVERNMENT AND TAXES [Advisory
Commission
on Intergovernmental Relations, Washington, D.C.
(1980-1983)].
=============================================================[130]
Senior
staff members have known about this Movement well in advance,
back to
the early 1950's, and it was very clear to them at that time in
the
1950's what we now are seeing all around us:
Open and growing
resistance
and defiance to the assertion of tax collection authority by
the
King. [131]
[131]=============================================================
Sharp
Congressmen
themselves knew of this impending state of defiance back in
the
1800's, before the original version of our present Income Tax was
created: "The imposition of the [income] tax
will corrupt the people.
It will
bring in its train the spy and the informer.
It will
necessitate
a swarm of officials with inquisitorial powers. It will be
a step
towards centralization... It breaks
another canon of taxation
in that
it is expensive in its collection [a condition since remedied
by the
clever use of administrative contracts to force people into a
taxable
status they would not otherwise be in]..." -
Representative
Robert Adams, speaking in opposition to the proposed
Income
Tax Act of 1894, on the floor of the House of Representatives,
January
26, 1894 [as quoted by Frank Chodorov in THE INCOME TAX, page
63
(Devin-Adair, 1954)]. [But as usual in Congress, cries and pleas for
the
continuance of the quiescent STATUS QUO of the 1800's fell on deaf
ears.]
=============================================================[131]
Back in
the 1950's, statisticians in the Treasury Department, in their
long
range (10, 20 and 30 year) revenue/budget projection plots, saw
that
the combination of both inflation and the percentage progressive
Income
Tax would, in just a few decades, be pushing just the average
worker
into highly aggressive tax levels of up to 50%. [132]
[132]=============================================================
Throughout
the years, numerous Hearings have been held and Bills
introduced
into the Congress proposing a FLAT RATE TAX, but they have
never
gotten anywhere. See such Senate
Hearing s in THE FLAT TAX RATE
["Hearings
Before the Committee on Finance of the United States
Senate"],
79th Congress, 2nd Session (September 28 and 19, 1982) [GPO,
Washington
(1983)]. Many of the persons presenting evidence in that
Hearing
expressed knowledge on the enscrewment orientation of
progressive
taxation, through their own words. When
such widely held
knowledge
jells into something tangible in the corridors of Congress is
largely
a function of overcoming the Gremlins who now control the
Congress.
=============================================================[132]
In the
1950's, those workers had then been paying just a small
percentage. [133]
[133]=============================================================
As
recently
as the early 1930's, a mere 5% was the maximum graduated
federal
income tax due, but in time Bolshevik Gremlins changed that, by
escalating
taxing percentage grabs to enscrewment levels more
satisfactory
to them. The schedule was, at that
time: 1-1/2% on
the
first $4,000
3% on the next $4,000
5% on the balance.

Nutshell"],

It was
known at that time that there would be public concern of the
growth
from those low taxation rates in practical effect then, to the
substantially
higher tax rates expected in the future, and that this
public
concern would grow increasingly with each passing year. [134]
[134]=============================================================
This
idea
has also been a dominate and recurring theme in research and
literature
in this area of studying tax revolts.
See generally: -
Lee Sigelman and David Lowery in THE TAX
REVOLT: A COMPARATIVE
STATE
ANALYSIS, 36 Western Political Science Quarterly, at 30 (March,
1983);
This paper explains eight different possible explanations of tax
revolt
success in the 18 states where such revolts have surfaced as of
1983; -

LIMITS:
ALTERNATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS ON THE POWER TO TAX, 32

Tax Journal, at 11 (1977); - James Buchanan in WHY DOES
GOVERNMENT

by
Thomas Borcherding [Duke University Press, Durham, North Carolina
(1977)]; -

DEMOCRACY, 59 Social Science Quarterly, at 691 (1979); -

Buchanan and Richard Wagner in DEMOCRACY IN DEFICIT: THE POLITICAL
LEGACY
OF LORD KEYNES [Academic Press, New York (1977)].
=============================================================[134]
And it
was expected that the thrust of the public concern that was out
in the
open, would be of the basic legitimacy of the Income Tax itself,
and
that such concern would have a strong current under it due to its
percentage
progressive nature that would accelerate into such noticeable
levels
when inflation was strong for several years in a row; so much so
that
even ordinarily blind, disinterested, naive and politically benign
people
would then perk up and take interest; and even businessmen would
start to
slough off, rather than give away their hard earned income
stream
to termites. With the annual increment
in Inflation, the
public's
questioning of the general illegitimacy of the Income Tax would
be
incremented with each passing year, as it was expected that the
public
would notice that although greater taxes are being paid, no
additional
benefits or commensurate services were being experienced or
being
returned by the King in one year to the next.
This illegitimacy
angle
was expected to be a "center of gravity" in the public's view,
since
the general public is unaware of the ethical and moral basis of
the
Excise Income Tax, and of an attachment of Equity Jurisdiction
involved
(in other words, the King can demand and get anything from 0%
to 100%
in Equity and be morally correct, because your participation
with
him in accepting his benefits in Commercial Equity is purely
voluntary,
and so any amount of gain you acquired in King's Commerce is
gain
that you would not otherwise have).
That attachment of King's
Equity
Jurisdiction always precedes the liability for the tax. And so
it has
been expected for some time that the United States would one day
experience
the most extreme and intolerable levels of income
confiscation
ever known to Americans: Without any
reciprocity by the
King,
without any apparent QUID PRO QUO [135]
[135]=============================================================
The
phrase
QUID PRO QUO means that there has been an exchange of "something
for
something." It has a Roman origin
to it, and is a term that appears
in old
medieval English Crown cases I have read, and now carries on down
to the
present time with Federal Judges. See
IN RE LUEDER'S ESTATE, 164
F.2nd
128, at 135 (1947).
=============================================================[135]
of
incremental increase in benefits to be experienced from one year to
the
next, and without any justification at all for the annual percentage
incrementation
in tax extraction. These projection
plots were not
deemed
to be of very high priority at that time back in the 1950's, but
the
results and findings were circulated among some administrative
personnel
and they eventually made it over to two Congressional
committees.
Under
the Treasury Department's projection models and plots, it was
predicted
that open defiance would come some day as such expected
aggressive
tax levels are simply not bearable by average folks,
previously
quiescent, who would then start to question the legitimacy
of the
tax itself. [136]
[136]=============================================================
And
other
top tax bureaucrats have repeated the warnings initially contained
in that
Treasury Department report of the 1950's.
At the close of the
Johnson
Administration in 1969, Secretary of the Treasury Joseph W. Barr
warned
of a growing resentment against higher taxes.
[See the Foreword
in THE
INCOME TAX: HOW PROGRESSIVE SHOULD IT BE? by The American
Enterprise
Institute, featuring cross discussions on the question of
progressivity
with Charles Galvin and Boris Bittker (AEI, Washington,
1969)].
=============================================================[136]
The
catalytic effect of such aggressive tax levels would be the
deprivation
of the ability of such average folks to provide minimum
necessities
for themselves, such as housing and food.
[137]
[137]=============================================================
This
is a
conclusion also reached by the Fund for Public Policy Research, in
a
report entitled TAX CHANGES AND THE COMPOSITION OF FIXED INVESTMENT:
AN
AGGREGATE SIMULATION by Aaron, Russek, and Singer. The study was
conducted
to inform the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal
Revenue
Taxation as to the impact of the Tax Reform Act of 1969 on
investments
in housing. [Washington, D.C.
(1969)]. Some of the data
used in
this report was obtained from the Federal Reserve Board, who
researches
its own macro-economic taxation models isochronously
(ISOCHRONOUS
means at regularly occurring intervals of time).
=============================================================[137]
One of
the questions that was hypothetically addressed in the
accompanying report is the concern th
