Empire, Iran, law, muh constitution, piracy, Venezuela, War

Your beloved and dead constitution lists three crimes, and only three crimes, which the federal government may prosecute. I’ve gone over this before, noting that the government itself is generally the worst perpetrator of those three crimes. Today, an example of imperial piracy on the high seas.

U.S. federal prosecutors filed suit late Wednesday to seize four tankers-worth of gasoline Iran is sailing to Venezuela, the latest salvo in the administration’s effort to stifle flows of goods and money helping to keep two of its top foes in power.

By filing a civil-forfeiture complaint, U.S. prosecutors aim to not only prevent delivery of the Iranian fuel to Venezuela, which began the journey last month, but also deprive Tehran of the revenues from the cargo and deter future shipments.

The action is the latest in a series of moves the U.S. has taken against Iran and its ally Venezuela, as part of a broad operation to pressure the governments in Tehran and Caracas to meet U.S. demands.

We’ve covered civil for theft too. Another batch of Iranian tankers made it through just fine this spring. And in January, we found out that Iran is longer a missile lightweight. They have extremely accurate and powerful anti-ship and ballistic options. They also have subs. This could, should this piracy go too far, get very interesting. Leave well enough alone?

Of Crime and Punishment and Non-Crime and Punishment

Constitution, counterfeiting, crime, Donald Trump, law, Lawrence Vance, pardon, piracy, President, treason

While in Asia the other week, President Trump secured the release of three high value American prisoners. All good and well, but Lawrence Vance ponders if Trump’s amnestying efforts might be better spent at home.

LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill, and Cody Riley, who are now on indefinite suspension from the UCLA Bruins basketball team, were in China with their team for a basketball game against Georgia Tech. The trio was arrested after allegedly shoplifting from a Louis Vuitton store in Hangzhou, China. After being detained for over a week and facing up to ten years in prison, they were released after President Donald Trump intervened on their behalf with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

These are not the only prisoners that Trump should have freed. Far more important are the people imprisoned in the United States for victimless crimes.

The United States is indeed an exceptional nation. It has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners. It has over 2 million people behind bars, more than any other nation. And it has the highest per capita prison rate.

A great many of the Americans who are in prison have been incarcerated for victimless crimes, and especially drug crimes. Only violent criminals should be incarcerated, and no one should ever be locked up for committing a victimless crime.

Every crime should have a tangible and identifiable victim with real harm and measurable damages. Rape, robbery, assault, child abuse, battery, burglary, theft, arson, looting, kidnapping, shoplifting, embezzlement, manslaughter, and murder are real crimes. Possessing “illegal” drugs, “illegal” gambling, prostitution, discriminating, price gouging, and ticket scalping are victimless crimes.

Prosecuting Americans for committing victimless crimes turns vices into crimes; unnecessarily makes criminals out of otherwise law-abiding Americans; is an illegitimate function of government; criminalizes voluntary, consensual, peaceful activity; costs far more than any of its supposed benefits; does violence to individual liberty and private property; and is incompatible with a free society.

Committing victimless crimes may be unwise, addictive, unhealthy, risky, immoral, sinful, and/or just plain stupid, but it is not for the government to decide what risks Americans are allowed to take and what kinds of behaviors they are allowed to engage in as long as their actions are peaceful, private, voluntary, and consensual.

According to Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution, the president “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States except in cases of impeachment.” According to the case of Ex parte Garland (1867), the scope of the president’s pardon power is quite broad. And according to United States v. Klein (1871), Congress cannot limit the president’s grant of an amnesty or pardon.

This means that Trump could, today, pardon every American in a federal prison for committing a victimless crime. And like he did for the American basketball players in China, Trump could work to free every American held in a state prison for committing a victimless crime.

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, President Trump followed in the tradition of his predecessors and pardoned a turkey. Better that he ate the turkey and pardoned everyone in a federal prison for a victimless crime and ordered their immediate release. No one should ever be detained by police, arrested, tried, fined, or imprisoned for a victimless crime.

I completely agree with this idea. However, assuming (pointlessly) that we still have a Constitution, all Trump could do with the States would be lobby as he did with China. On the federal front things would be a little easier. Some, most, rather, violent federal inmates would have to freed as well.

That Constitution thing, the parts in, above, and below Article Two, only specifies three crimes. Honestly, if it’s not piracy, counterfeiting, or treason, what business has Washington prosecuting it.

Pardon this interruption…

Anything post-Roy O., I mean, and especially anything post-Roy Jr.

Pirates allegedly stole a new Pirate movie from the formerly entertaining entertainment company. The motives are unknown. Disney has refused to pay a ransom for the work – maybe even they don’t want it.

This is not a story about a new ride at Disneyland – wouldn’t that one be boring. No, this is about me and my beloved books – I hope that’s not boring.

I’m working as steady as I can on two new volumes which should be released in tandem (or close to it) and released soon. One is another cigar book, a work of pure humor. The other is dead serious, a guide to fighting terrorism on the personal, day-to-day basis. Soon, folks, soon. Ready those debit cards now.

While I was taking a break I did a periodic check on The Happy Little Cigar Book. While it is not a bestseller, it has been more successful than I had originally hoped. Thank you all! I also discovered that it is available at Barnes and Noble. I had forgotten that CreateSpace has a B&N connection. Or, maybe I made that up in my head. Anyway, I’m now at the first and second largest bookstores in the world.

I need 5-star reviews here to match Amazon. B&N.com.

The HLCB is also (allegedly) available from some not so reputable sites as I discovered on Friday. My Googling led me to several sites claiming to offer free downloads of my book. Free downloads of MY book!  That is piracy. It’s theft of my copyright protected material. Two of these are linked to Google somehow – probably via an aggregation service anyone can use. The others I looked at, like the one below, are probably just scams. I read up on this phenomenon. “Download” means get a free virus. I do not advise looking into this. That, and they likely operate outside of U.S. jurisdiction or through a laborynth of servers.

nimbus-image-1469394135611.png

I DID NOT and DO NOT authorize this theft of my property! I’m also not attributing this clipped picture (fair play).

This is a plain, simple DMCA violation. I have a warning right there inside my books, digital and paperback.  I have an action under 17 U.S.C. §§ 101, 512, et seq., provided I could pinpoint exactly who the pirates are. It’s odd for me to ponder having to use one of the many laws I can’t stand. I’ll probably let it go; blades are more my style anyway.

Part of me is angry but mostly I am flattered. At least I have enough notoriety to get into the scam sites. I was also a little mad that I did not find any pirated copies of Perrin On Politics – then again, that one is free to begin with.

I may take action but I probably will not. I could send a DMCA warning and notice (a cease a desist letter) along with a civil pre-litigation notice. I doubt much would come of it.

However, one site says the HLCB has a 4.5 star rating out of about 6,000 views. If that means they gave away 6,000 copies, then I am owed a tidy little sum. Those numbers are likely fluff and lies put up by some Chinese hacker, trying to get your bank information or something. Enough said.

For now I’ll just be flattered and a slight bit amused. You, all of you, please avoid the pirates out there. Fake or not, these postings are illegal reproductions – stolen goods. Get the real thing at Amazon or B&N. And, look out for my new material coming very soon (to real sites and stores and with real pricing).

Piracy, Counterfeiting, and Treason

Edward Griffen, government, green space chickens, history, inflation, law, Lysander Spooner, money, piracy, President, regulation, Ted Cruz, terrorism, The People, treason, War

This article was featured on The Perrin Lovett Show (with usual amateur production, etc.).

The United States Constitution sets forth a very few enumerated powers for the federal government – 18 to 30 or so, depending on how one reads the text.Several others could be imagined given a certain degree of lucidity. The modern law and political crowd obviously has a very vivid imaginations.

“Our” government now involves itself in literally everything. The pretense of following the Constitution was long ago dropped in favor of a do-all, end-all, all things for all people nanny state. This proves, as Lysander Spooner noted toward the end of the 19th Century, the abject failure of the Constitution. Either it enabled the growth and development of the current system or it was powerless to prevent it. Either way a lost cause for the liberty-minded.

Amongst those few, ancient powers were the prohibition and prosecution of but three specific crimes. Others, a few, could, again, be imagined based on the surrounding text.

Insanity, rather than imagination, best describes the current vast expanse of federal criminal “justice.” Today there are something like 10,000 crimes in the federal code – not all of them are even contained in Title 18, criminal laws. If you have a system where laws escape their designated place, you then have a problem. Worse, the various federal administrative agencies – none of which are found in the Constitution – write a bazillion regulations every year. Many of these carry quasi-criminal penalties.

One gets the idea that any and everything is illegal in America. It is. Possessing a “short” lobster is illegal. Owning a flower banned by a foreign government is illegal. Installing a toilet with a decent sized water tank is illegal.

Few of these laws were enacted to preserve order or to protect the public. Rather, they are intended to promote the government’s over the populace. The people seem to approve. That is, until they find themselves on the wrong side of a federal courtroom.

The average American commits three felonies a day – usually with no intent. Most of these go unprosecuted. Most are never known. Even if a violation is disclosed it is rarely acted upon. It would be impossible to persecute 300 million citizens on a regular basis. Unnecessary too. Prosecution is selective at best. It’s designed to make examples to keep the people in line.

Again, it started out with but three crimes. All the rest were left to the states for enforcement by statute or under our English heritage of common law. While a few cases of the three original varieties occasionally come up, these crimes are almost completely committed, these days by the government itself.

Counterfeiting

“The Congress shall have the power …To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States.” U.S. Const., Art. I, Section 8.

You, dear reader, must be familiar with the concept of the counterfeiter. It’s some dude in a basement with a press and green ink or a high-end color copier, who manufactures fake twenties for use at the supermarket. This does happen. However, it is dwarfed by the scheme enacted by the government in 1913 through the Federal Reserve Act.

That Act created the modern central banking system. One of those thirty or so enumerated powers in the old parchment authorized only Congress to create currency. Said currency was to be based only upon the determined value of gold or silver. It was thus real money, linked to something of intrinsic value.

Via the Act Congress abdicated its authority to a private banking cabal. They were literally given a monopoly to print money. A tenuous link was, then, in place which, on the surface, to the Constitution and the gold standard. The Act’s original language stated the new federal reserve notes could be redeemed at any time for either “lawful currency” or precious metals. It was a sly admission the new notes were something other than lawful. Funny almost but deadly.

This cozy arrangement allows the government an endless supply of debt by which to prop up its income tax scheme and bottomless spending. The tax also, conveniently, came along in 1913. Like a plan or something.

The cabal benefits by being able to loan themselves and their friends an infinite amount of money. You may read all about this process, dubbed the “Mandrake Mechanism” in G. Edward Griffin’s The Creature from Jekyll Island.

The downsides for you are several. First, you endure the loss of Constitutional government – lost to a despicable gang of criminals. Second, you loss buying power to inflation. The more of something there is, the less each individual unit is worth. The more money the Fed prints, the less the money you have buys. Prices rise accordingly. Incomes are always the last to increase; they are perpetually behind the curve.

The Treasury still has the ability to print real money in addition to the Fed’s funny notes. The last time it did so was in the 1960s in a bid to boost currency circulation. The gold link was weakened during the great depression (by a Democrat administration) and severed entirely in the early 70s by Richard Nixon (a Republican) (2 parties, remember…).

Piracy

“The Congress shall have the power … To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations…” U.S. Const., Art.I, Section 8.

This was a serious issue for the young Republic, being tied to European trade. It’s still an important issue. Ask Captain Phillips about piracy in the 21st Century. Again, however, the actions of the central government eclipse anything done by the hook and parrot set.

The government does not roam the seas looking for vessels to raid. Well, actually, they do. Most of their pillaging and plundering is conducted on land though. Piracy is synonymous with stealing. What doesn’t the government steal?

They get your money through taxes, fees, and insidious inflation. They get your flowers, short lobsters, milk, and produce. They get your arms, legs an lives through their endless wars. They get your children with their mandatory non-education system. They get it all. Pipe up too loudly about this theft and they bring out the guns – piracy. Everything, everywhere, everyday.

Treason

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason…” U.S. Const., Art. III, Section 3.

With the exception of the “Civil” war the government does not conduct military operations against itself. Sometimes one wishes the opposite. They do occasionally make war on us: whiskey tax protesters, poor coal miners, displaced veterans, Indians, those of Japanese ancestry, churches, etc.

The real crime they commit – constantly – is giving aid to our enemies. Any enemy they can find so long as the free people suffer. Piracy and counterfeiting (see above) are two good examples. Another example is the absolute infidelity to the limits of the Constitution. Yet again, the majority of the people seem okay with the ridiculous overextension of state authority – so long as they get (or are at least promised) some goodies.

A great example from the news of late is the American warfare/welfare policy concerning Islamic terrorism. The military trots around the globe in search of crazed radicals. Rather than defeating them, they stir the boiling pot. This allows for wholesale spending of the fiat money. It also gives them graft to loot. It also angers the hell out of already dangerous peoples.

As if that isn’t bad enough Washington then imports as many “refugees” to the States as it can locate. Screening be damned, they have a Civilization to wreck.

If any outsider attempted such unimaginable terror, it would be considered an act of war. As is, I view it as an act of Treason. The people may not go along with this one much longer. Not when Paris-style theater and sporting outings become the norm. Not when Sharia law emerges from the 7th century into places like Dearborn and Omaha.

What if anything can be done? I think reform is not an option. Many of my conservative friends want a “return to the Constitution.” That means going back to a document that was roundly ignored the first time. At best, it would reset the clock. This time around there’s no assurance the demise (eternal) would take so long to happen. They could just use history as a blueprint.

Congress, the President (any President), and their friends in beaurocracy and banking are non to eager to give up all that power and fun. The Courts have long since rubber stamped the insanity. It’s all okay because of the Necessary and Proper Clause, or the Welfare Clause, or the Santa Clause, or … Just because it just is.

Years ago, during a federal firearms case, I asserted the government’s lack of authority over firearms law as a defense for my client. I moved the court to dismiss the charges for lack of standing. I reminded the judge about Article One enumeration. I waived a copy of the parchment around like a fan. As I spoke there was a stunned silence. Attorneys are not supposed to uphold the law as I did literally.

My motion was denied instantly. My client took a plea deal and voided any chance of an appeal. Any appeal would have failed anyway. Law and order minus the law part.

These are not only my experience. Ted Cruz, whom I’m told is running for President, accessed the White House of ‘Counterfeiting Immigration Documents’

Given what we know about government, they probably did. They’re obviously getting away with it. This was a story about immigration too. Perhaps the merging of Treason and counterfeiting.

Speaking to Fox News following a federal judge’s decision to temporarily halt President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration, the potential Republican presidential contender said the commander in chief is ignoring federal law.

“One of the things it points out is the president has claimed, rather absurdly, that the basis of his authority is ‘prosecutorial discretion.’ That he’s simply choosing not to prosecute 4.5 million people here illegally,” Cruz told Fox News. “But what the district court concluded, quite rightly, is they’re doing far more than that. The administration is printing work authorizations. It is affirmatively acting in contravention of federal law. Basically, what its doing is counterfeiting immigration documents, because the work authorizations its printing are directly contrary to the text of federal law. It is dangerous when the president ignores federal law.

…

“We’re not going to disregard this federal court ruling,” Obama said, but he added that administration officials would continue to prepare to roll out the program.

We’re not going to ignore the law, we’ll just not abide by it. To hell with it… That, in a nutshell, is the government. What can be done? Not much right now. For starters though we could all cease to hold the state up on a pedestal of honor. The gallows would be more appropriate. Stop legitimizing the monsters. Shun the long enough and maybe they will go away.

Don’t Make A Federal Case Out Of It!

The title of this column is a common phrase, the equivalent of “don’t make a mountain out of a mole-hill.”  It is an admonishment to not blow things out of proportion.  I use it, here, as a legitiment plea.  Too many cases, particularly criminal cases, go through the federal court system.  “The more laws, the less justice!” remarked, Cicero, perhaps ancient Rome’s ultimate statesman.  I echo his sentiment as one of my favorite quotes of all time.

In general, in Amerika today, too many things are against the law.  In the old days you have to harm someone or actually threaten them with harm to find yourself in court.  Now, any excuse will do for a persecution .. prosecution, rather.   Owning certain plants is illegal, and not only the ones some people smoke to get high.  “Short” lobsters are illegal.  Not reading a contract in full is illegal.  Everything is illegal.  By the way, I write “Amerika (with a “K”),” like many commentators, to lament the decline of my country, America.  I have watched it change completely during my life, I’m sure you’ve noticed it too.

Back to federal criminal laws.  There are somewhere on the order of 10,000 criminal laws inside and outside of Title 18 of the U.S. Code.  Add to that the innumerable regulations which carry criminal-like penalties and the ways to criminally control and extort the people are almost limitless.

Remember that old rag called the Constitution?  It seems most people have forgotten it, especially those charged with defending and upholding it.  I am one such sworn defender who keeps it in mind more than most.

(Birth of a government… Source: Google Images).

Oddly, I am not the greatest fan of the Constitution.  This shocks many people who know me as an ardent proponent of the document.  The Constitution was drafted for one reason – to create a new government.  Not being a fan of government, and not being able to find sufficient fault with the previous version under the Articles of Confederation, I view the Constitution and its child as unnecessary, dangerous even.  However, since we have it, one would assume we should use it.  The problem is we don’t.  “We” is misplaced.  The problem is the government’s complete abdication of the limits placed on it by the Constitution.

Lysander Spooner observed, over 100 years ago, “whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it.  In either case, it is unfit to exist.”  And, that was before the exponential growth of the present government. 

As is, I have sworn several oaths to support and defend the Constitution; therefore, I do so.  I read the Constitution literally (adhering to the “strict construction” view) and only put credence in what is actually listed therein, no more.

Back to federal criminal laws, again.  Do you know how many crimes are designated for federal prosecution?  The number is a little less than 10,000.  The Constitution authorized congress to make and allow prosecution of THREE crimes!  Those, all found under Article I, are: 1) counterfeiting money; 2) piracy and; 3) treason.  Most of these are almost exclusively committed by the government these days. They obviously don’t prosecute themselves absent exigent circumstances (political payback, etc.). 

Actually, there are other crimes acceptable as federal crimes.  The great Ron Paul, speaking in the House Floor, noted four federal crimes.  I would not dare dispute the Honorable Doctor.  Thus, I defer to his number, though I will question exactly what the fourth crime is.  There are a few possibilities.  I do not read expansively, as some do, that the other legitimate functions of the government authorized in the Constitution might lead to hypothetical or extrapolated crimes.  That reading is how we got to our present state of insanity.

The Constitution authorizes punishment for violation of the “law of nations.”  I’m not sure what that means but it is written.  The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery (I have a new series coming on the subject!) and provides for punishment.  That would be a federal crime.  It’s possible there are others but the number thereof is very short.

All other crimes, legitimate crimes, are left for state or local prosecution.  That’s what the Constitution says.  You can read the whole thing here and I recommend you do, frequently: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html.

The federal government was never intended to be all-powerful, though it has assumed that god-like position.  Blasphemy, I say!  I have never thought of any easy way to reverse the course of tragedy in our laws.  Therefore, I have resolved myself to faithfully do what I can, individually, to maintain true allegiance to the Constitution, flawed though it may be.  I have met with little success.

Over my professional legal career I have undertaking criminal defense matters with great enthusiasm.  I have worked and tried many cases, including many in federal courts.  During my tenure I have never defended anyone charged with piracy, counterfeiting, treason, or slavery.  One client was close to counterfeiting – accused of identity theft which robbed people and banks of money, kind of like printing the stuff from scratch – like the Federal Reserve does with Congress’s illegal blessing.

Most of my clients were charged with any and everything else, though usually the cases involved firearms and narcotics.  Most of these defendants chose to enter pleas in exchange for reduced sentences.  Most (like 97%) of federal defendants do this.  This is a sad statistic.  Very few cases go to trial and the government wins most of those by a similar margin.  I have successfully had cases dismissed outright.  That is rare in any court system.  I also negotiated better than most attorneys for my clients and any reduction in punishment they might receive.  I am not really proud of that last part and I have found it difficult to accept.  The lesser of two evils is still evil.  I don’t like evil.

The last case I tried to a jury involved charges of terroristic threats against a government agency.  Such vague “threats” as they were probably would not have supported a prosecution had they been leveled at me or you.  Directed towards the government they were unforgivable.  The nefarious methods employed by the government to obtain an indictment and a conviction were similarly outrageous. 

The jury did not hesitate to convict my client, a truly helpless man who had done harm to no-one.  He was released with “time served” with the government’s blessing.  Frequently, they just like to remind people they are in charge, and no more.  I must admit most of the local officials I deal with are more honest and compassionate than the average.  Still, that does not change the system.  My client declined my suggestion of an appeal and even my offer to seek a Presidential pardon (those of usually reserved for “buddies” and campaign contributors).  My guy just wanted to get back to life as normal.  I understand his plight and decisions.

During the trial, before the jury was sent to deliberate the case, I made a legal motion to have the case dismissed for purely legal reasons.  Juries consider all facts in conjunction with the law.  Judges consider matter purely legal in nature.  My motion was three parts, the last being reference to the lack of Constitutional authorization for the charged offense.  The motion was denied completely.  The denial would have survived appellate review.  The courts have consented to Congress’s massive expansion of the criminal laws and the President’s prosecution thereof.  So much for separation of powers.

I have made the same argument before.  To my knowledge I am the only attorney in the area (maybe the nation) who still dares to do so.  I care not for erroneous appellate decisions.  Recall, if you will, that once the Supreme Court said slavery was a-ok.  It never was.  Likewise, honesty and justice compel me to recite the legal truth about law, Natural and statutory, over and over regardless of the ultimate outcome.  When I make such arguments the Courtroom usually goes dead silent and I have gotten used to icy stares.  I have also learned not to push my luck and that these arguments do not work.  Making a simple point is enough, I never argue to the point of being held in contempt.  I have heard others have done that.  I am too much of a coward to risk jail over moot points.   

Some have told me these concerns are better taken up with Congress.  All things being equal, that is correct.  Congress is supposed to be there to hear grievances.  Have you tried communicating with Congress lately?  It was largely a pointless endeavor in days past; almost no members of the assembly cared for truth.  With the departure of Dr. Paul, there is no point now. 

We have lost the greatest champion of Liberty since the passing of the Founders.  We have lost truth and justice.  At least we have 10,000 criminal laws to comfort us.  Enjoy!
