As
a sovereign
you are not subject
to any law besides
that of common law.
I realize that this
idea is totally foreign
to most of you, as
we have been erroneously
taught all of our
lives that we are
subject to laws passed
by the legislature
or those in the lesser
bodies of government.
In United States Supreme
Court decision of
Yick
Wo v. Hopkins 118
U.S. 356
in
1886 the Supreme Court
agreed with the fact
that flesh and blood
people are sovereigns
in their own right,
not subject to legislative
or administrative
law. This United States
Supreme Court decision
was handed down before
our legal system became
nearly as corrupt
as it is today in
America.
The
case of Yick Wo v.
Hopkins takes place
in the late 1800's
and is about Yick
Wo, an immigrant Chinese
laundry owner in San
Francisco who was
fined and then jailed
for failure to obey
a local ordinance
passed by the San
Francisco Board of
Supervisors requiring
all laundry owners
to relocate laundries
housed in wooden structures
to brick or stone
structures or to close
down their businesses.
The case is most often
cited as a civil rights
case because the all
white San Francisco
Board of Supervisors
and Sheriff Hopkins
selectively enforced
the newly passed ordinance
along racial lines.
The
white laundry owned
laundries were mostly
housed in brick or
stone structures,
and the few white
owned laundries located
in wooden structures
were all given a free
pass, while not one
of the immigrant Chinese
laundry owners were
exempted from the
ordinance. Most of
the immigrant Chinese
laundry owners were
poor and could not
afford to relocate
their laundries to
brick or stone structures.
The Chinese laundry
owners, like Yick
Wo who continued to
operate their laundries
located in wooden
structures in defiance
of the order were
fined and then jailed
when they didn't pay
their fines.
On
August 24, 1885, Yick
Wo petitioned the
supreme court of California
for the writ of habeas
corpus, claiming he
was illegally deprived
of his personal liberty
by the defendant Sheriff
Hopkins, the sheriff
of San Francisco County.
Justice
Matthews
states in the U. S.
Supreme Court decision
in favor of Yick Wo:
"Sovereignty
itself is, of course,
not subject to law,
for it is the author
and source of law;
but in our system,
while sovereign powers
are delegated to the
agencies of government,
sovereignty itself
remains with the people,
by whom and for whom
all government exists
and acts."
Justice
Matthews makes a very
profound statement
in the case of Yick
Wo v. Hopkins; clearly
stating that we (you
and I) are 'sovereigns',
not subject to law.
Justice Matthews did
not just dream up
the concept that we
are sovereigns and
as a sovereign we
are not subject to
law. Of course not,
he had very sound
bases for his profound
proclamation, which
was based upon his
knowledge and belief
that God created man
and decreed man to
be a sovereign. Justice
Matthews also based
his opinion upon the
knowledge and belief
that our nation's
founding fathers strongly
held this same belief
and incorporated it
into the fabric of
our constitution.
Justice
Matthews reminds us;
while, yes it is true
that our government
has sovereignty delegated
to it by the people,
the people are the
creators of the government
and of the administrative
law and we the creators
or sovereigns are
not subject to the
law as its creators.
Remember
and teach your children
well that you and
they are the true
sovereigns. Your place
is above government
and never beneath
the feet of government.
God is the Sovereign
Creator of our universe,
we serve God and never
does God serve His
creation; man. Man
is the sovereign of
his domain and created
government to serve
him within his domain.
An axiom of truth
decrees that; the
creator never serves
his creation. Ask
yourself who is serving
whom today? How did
it get to this point?
The true responsibility
and blame lies with
us and all Americans
who preceded us following
the Civil War.
Will
you be the master
or will you continue
to be the slave? The
choice of slave has
already been made
for you and your children
unless you have the
will and courage to
change it. |
