The
Elephant Rope
As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” said the trainer, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”
The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto beliefs that we cannot do things, simply because of the rope (teachings) used to tie us when we were very young...and as we grow up we maintained that conditioning we believed to be true...thus we bound ourselves...with no effort to break free (change what we believe)?

Hale
v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43(1906)
Hale
v. Henkel was decided by the united States Supreme Court in 1906. The opinion
of the court states, in part:
Page
201 U. S. 44 "There is a clear distinction between an individual and a
corporation, and the latter, being a creature of the State, has not the
constitutional right to refuse to submit its books and papers for an
examination at the suit of the State;"
Page
201 U. S. 74 "The individual may stand upon his constitutional rights as a
citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His
power to contract is unlimited. He owes no duty to the State or to his
neighbors to divulge his business, or to open his doors to an investigation, so
far as it may tend to criminate him. He owes no such duty to the State, since
he receives nothing therefrom beyond the protection of his life and property.
His rights are such as existed by the law of the land long antecedent to the
organization of the State, and can only be taken from him by due process of
law, and in accordance with the Constitution. Among his rights are a refusal to
incriminate himself and the immunity of himself and his property from arrest or
seizure except under a warrant of the law. He owes nothing to the public so
long as he does not trespass upon their rights."
Whereas defined pursuant to; Supreme Court Annotated Statute:
STATE OF GEORGIA vs. BRAILSFORD, 3 Dall I (1794) "It is presumed that
juries are the best judges of facts; it is on the other hand, presumably, that
the courts are the best judges of law. But still both are within your power of
decision. You have a right to take upon yourselves to judge both, and to
determine the law as well as the fact in controversy."
Our Property Rights are inseparable from our individual Rights and
our individual Rights are inseparable from our Property Rights. Both types of
Rights are protected in the Procedures and Due Process of the Courts of Common
Law.
The Bill of Rights in both Constitutions have to do with matters
that the governments, both of the United States and of the State, have to do
with matters that the governments, and its agents and agencies, have no
authority over at all to enact statutes, or to issue rules and regulations,
binding on freeborn men, women and children, dealing with such Rights are
included in the Bill of Rights. It should be emphasized that the Ninth
Amendment includes all of the Common Law Rights which are not listed, or
enumerated, anywhere else. In other words, the Bill of Rights are prohibitions
against government at any level over freeborn men, women and children.
No State shall enter into any Treaty.
No State shall enter into any alliance.
No State shall enter into any Confederation.
No State shall grant Letters of Marque or Reprisal.
No State shall coin money.
No State shall emit Bills of Credit.
No State shall make any Thing but Gold and Silver Coin a Tender in
Payment of Debts.
No State shall pass any Bill of Attainder.
No State shall pass any ex post facto Law.
No State shall pass any Law impairing the obligation of
Contracts.
No State shall grant any Title of Nobility.
No State shall without the consent of Congress, lay any Imposts or
Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for
executing its inspection laws: and the net Produce of all duties and Imposts,
laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury
of the United States and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and
control of Congress.
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress; (1) Lay any duty
of Tonnage (2) Keep Troops or ships of War in time of peace; (3) Enter into any
agreement compact with another State; (4) Enter into any agreement or Compact
with a foreign Power; (5) No State shall without the Consent of Congress engage
in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit
of delay.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the
Privileges of citizens of the United States.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the
Immunities of Citizens of the United States.
No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law.
No State shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws.
These are prohibitions upon the activity of the States. A State
cannot directly take any step in any degree to directly invade or violate any
of these provisions.
A State cannot lend its aid in any degree to any person or
corporation to effectuate a violation of these absolute prohibitions indirectly
or obliquely lest a mockery be made of the Constitution of the united States.
"There is no lawful authority for Judges and the Courts to
direct the law enforcement activities of a county Sheriff. The Sheriff is
accountable and responsible only to the citizens who are inhabitants of his
County. He is under Oath of Office, and need not receive unlawful Orders from
Judges or the Courts. The County Sheriff is responsible to protect citizens, including
unlawful acts of officials of government. The County Sheriff should not allow
his office to be used as an unlawful "lackey" of the Courts of
Federal agents or agencies."
"The Sheriff, in unknowing and unthinking acceptance of [the
imposition of Equity or Merchant Law], has become the "bag man" for a
bunch of private criminals [bankers, judges, attorneys], and thereby is
committing crimes himself, and is therefor a criminal. It is a crime to violate
Liberties and Freedoms Protected and Guaranteed by The Constitutions and the
Sheriff's Oath of Office to support and defend The Constitutions of the united
States of America and The Constitution of his own State...it is his sworn Duty
(Obligation to the people).
