Treason; a discussion

30 Dec

The laws of this nation are based on honest people keeping honest people honest.  At least that is what the founders thought.  We were founded because of threat and intimidation, but it was never addressed in the declaration or the constitution.  I think it was an oversight, but at the time I think the founders believed they had solved the problem.

Now when perpetrators commit crimes that are basically are crimes against the public.  The perpetrators should be treated differently because they basically are saying in such action that they do not believe in the laws and courts system we hold dear.  In certain situations when crimes against the public should become crimes against the United States.

Below I have written two definitions.  Someone smarter that I can redefine, but it is clear that it needs to be addressed

For the purpose of this article, treason should be defined: anyone who commits or causes to be committed an indiscriminate crime, threat of a crime, against a person or persons because of race, religion, social, or political affiliation because of personal anguish, political unrest, or, religious disagreement, or any person agenda that differs from the laws and general values of the people of the United States and/or the framers of the United States Constitution.  Added to this definition should have always been person or persons that cause a general fear of injury, loss of life or other damage to property to any group of people; will also be considered terrorist.

For the purpose of this article, indiscriminate means a crime or threat of crime that appears not directed at a crime to a specific person unless that person represents a targeted philosophy that causes, social group, or the government of the United States i.e. a drive by shooting; any bomb situation; and group targeted scenarios would be two examples either acted on or threatened.

Our pasted and present laws have been ineffective and weak at best.  The threat of a crime from an individual or group of individuals is just as damaging as the crime itself to the people being threatened.  From time to time in our brief history, our way of life has been changed by the perception of the treats against individuals, classes of individuals, or our way of life.

In the United States threats against certain populations have been suffered by the public because the perpetrators knew they could hide behind their citizen rights in our constitution.  The crime syndicates in the past to the syndicates, gangs, drug cartels of the present day, and/or foreign based organization and government have determined that they do not believe in the values of the United States and have determined to change those values by action or to take over the United States.

I think we should form a new federal court specifically for terrorist activities.  Terrorist being defined in the above statement including threats.

The way one enters this court is being convicted in any other court including other federal courts.  In this manner justice is served.  Someone is found guilty of a terrorist activity either domestic or foreign.  The person or persons could be of sound mind or not.  Insanity defense of not would not be admissible.  Once the jury determined the person or persons were terrorist, why they got there becomes unimportant.  They are simply convicted of being involved in terrorist activities, and sentenced to the federal court.  Along with that sentence, which has convicted them of being a terrorist, they lose their citizenship rights because their crime was against the country and not just a single part of society.  By committing or threatening to commit such a crime, they have stated they do not believe in the constitution and our courts therefore they should not enjoy the benefit of citizenship.

This is a simple statement, but another simple statement is if we do nothing our way of life will change.

Should we have a speical court system for terroists?

19 Jul

What happens in a shooting, especially those shootings where there are injuries and death?  We investigate and determine who the perpetrator becomes to be, then we allow them all the luxuries our criminal justice center allows.  We then put them on trial to give them an opportunity to plea bargain.  We then spend hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars keeping them incarcerated in one of our institutions.

In these cases they are treated like any person that normally tries to observe the laws of our nation.  The problem with this attitude is that the aforementioned have no consideration of any law or morality rule by which we live.

Many of the crimes that case injury and/or death are also very indiscriminately executed.  People targeted because they support a church, believe, or just because they are in the wrong place at the right time.  This type of crime has no right to be treated as normal.  It is not normal.  Drive by shootings are not normal.  Assassinations are not normal.  Kidnapping is not normal.  Bankers that take or misdirect other people’s money is not normal.  Threatening and/or intimidating people to get something you want is not normal.  All these and other crimes that ultimately effects the public at large or the government of the public are acts are terrorist acts.  These perpetrators should be put in a different category that takes them out of our normal court system.

People get mad at other people and kill or injure each other because we are human; reacting to various situations.  This would be a person that normally goes about the business of living a normal life.  The aforementioned perpetrators are people that have built their lives around the premise that they are not going to follow the rules of society that the normal public figures choose to live by.  There is a mark difference in the person hooked on drugs and the people that sell drugs with the idea that someone is going to sell them if there are buyers out there.  Why shouldn’t it be me?  The stock broker that sells something to an uninformed buyer because he gets a special commission at the expense of the buyer is taking advantage of the public.

Think of the hundreds of bankers that designed the derivative fraud at the public’s expense.  The mafia never costed the public as much money or heart ache as did these bankers and insurance executives, yet none have gone to jail or even been charged.  Our Congressmen and women are millionaires to a very high degree.  Go on http://ballotpedia.org/Net_worth_of_United_States_Senators_and_Representatives#Congressional_freshmen and see for yourself.  Did all these men and women come to congress rich?  Do they really understand the problems we have, and are they terrorizing the public by keeping the common man down and subservient to the powerful?

Where should we draw the line and exactly what shouldw do?  I don’t have a clue, but no one is addressing the problem.  In the campaign it will never be mentioned.

Answer to, Do I trust Iran

15 Jul

I took some flack over my last post concerning the Iran agreement.  That is perfectly okay.  I was told that I did not know these people and was called naïve by someone who had lived there.  I don’t have a lot of experience, but I have interacted with people form the Middle East for 30 years.  I know that when they say yes that they may be saying ‘this is a good concept’, ‘I heard you say this’, or ‘yes I might consider this point’.  I understand all these ideas, but I do know that if you ignore a situation with the idea that it will eventually fix itself, this is naïve and stupid.

Without this agreement Russia and China would probably pull out of the agreement and use Iran to help them to their own end.  The UN has spoken.  Any nation can’t just go forward in making bombs and supplying armament to rough nations.  There has to be some sanity in this world.

Lindsey Gram said yesterday that this is the worst agreement in the history of the United States.  Others have said stupid things by making judgements about serious talks and documents of which they were not a part.  Just think about Iran doing what they want to do while hiding behind Russia and China.  This type of thinking is the reason we are in the mess we are in today.

Supposedly we have sent the best and the brightest to our universities and educated them to run our political system.  They are supposed to be loyal to ‘We the People’, but instead they are first loyal to themselves and then to the power with which they subscribe.  With the exception of a very few the self-greed and that power rules this world.  The degree of hopelessness and helplessness in these United States is not based on the amount of money one has in their pocket.  The hopelessness and helplessness is based on the fear of the populous knowing there are problems out there with no one interested in solving.

When I speak I am always speaking from the standpoint of what I believe to be Christian beliefs and the fact that God guided our forefathers to create the basis of a Christian society that accepts and promotes, through the Constitution, choice to the populous as to how to worship Him.  The ,Him, I am referring to is Jesus the Christ who lived prophesied to the point of giving his life for our sins, while never raising his hand to anyone that didn’t follow Him.  Now we have made an agreement with the followers of Mohammed.  This two was a man who claimed to have had a vision that resulted in him and his followers to take a city by force about fourteen hundred years ago.  He also claimed to have ascended into heaven with instructions totally different than that of Jesus the Christ.  His followers say death to the Jews and Christians.  If you are not with them, you must be against them.

None of this is of God.  I used to think that Mohammad probably had a vision, but it was to unite the children of Abraham.  Now I think he must have been dealing with the devil and has led billions of people astray.  I they really would like to follow the prophets they should simply read what they say.  Certainly in Isaiah 53 he was not describing the death and resurrection of Mohammad.

The aforementioned comment was aimed at me to ask if I trust Iran.  Of course I do not.  However if we can somehow control the villains until Christ comes so we may be able to save all those souls, let’s do it.

We cannot solve today’s problems with archaic thinking.  We must identify the problems presented to us and then face them as they are and not what we want them to be.

Now we have a deal

14 Jul

The opponents of the Iran agreement said that if we didn’t bomb Iran or some other drastic measure, they would have the bomb perfected by now.  Now since we have an agreement that possibly allows inspection and some degree of control, the opponents, mostly Republicans, have stated they will not confirm it.

The Republicans and their supporters are determined to spend whatever prosperity we have on war upon which they profit.  This is just one more nail that holds up the banner that says reform congress.,

Are we body or soul?

11 Jul

A lot has been discussed about should we be rich, poor, black, yellow, red, white, male, female.  All these things would matter if we were going to live here on earth for a period of time then simply disappear.  However this is not the case.  Our God created us to follow his word then join him in eternity.  Our soul may have all the various traits of male, female and colors, but I doubt it.  Our Lord was specific about how you live and relate to each other which is part of following His direction of how to live.

The ‘how’ we live is more important than what we live as.  If we do not chose to live as a man or a woman that is okay with God, but to turn to the same sex for sexual gratification is not okay.  Paul seemed not to be attracted to the opposite sex, but he probably choose that so he could spend all his time glorifying God.

The ethnic issue is something I have never understood.  I grew up watching white people drink form one water fountain and blacks from another.  It didn’t make sense to me then and even less sense now that we should look down on either group.  In my opinion the blacks are just as bad as or worse than the whites when prejudice is concerned.  The only difference is power.  The whites seem to have more power in the normal world, but the blacks have more power in the world they created.

If a group of people within a larger society set up a community inside that the larger society with different rules or guidelines the smaller group has then separated themselves from the larger society.  This is the case with black communities that no longer feel they have to obey the accepted community laws and rules of the government.  I have heard of communities of other ethnic groups such as Chinese, Spanish communities, and others that set their own rules and answer to no one but themselves unless they happen to be caught in the government law enforcement agency.

We live in a society controlled by laws that assumes the general population would like to live in a law abiding community.  Our laws are set to be controlled by a small group of government agencies that simply guide us when we falter.  The most flagrant violation was the Cosa Nostra.  When we review the history of this organization we can clearly see how ignoring this type of power can hurt us deeply.

What do we do? We change the way we do business.  We have to identify a group that does not want abide by the rules set up by the majority then set up a set of rules that treat them differently.  We have a faction of our far right that seems to understand the problem, but are trying to fight in the wrong way.  Internationally we are seeing a far right group of the Muslim religion that does not even claim to part of any country that wants to set rules for all people or kill them.

We must recognize that some people feel they should live outside the rules of the larger government in which they live and when they cross the lines set out by that government, they should be handled not as part of the government, but as enemies of that government.

I can must more easily deal with an illegal alien that has jumped our fence in order to make a better living for his family, that to deal with a US citizen that has declared that he is no longer allegiant to the laws of the United States.  That person is now my enemy.

I am attempting to expand my reader base and get more people involved in bring this country to a place I believe God intended.

As you read please remember that I am a born again Christian who believes the bible is accurate but by on means complete.

Next I am an independent that believes the main parties and their sub-parties do not have any ambition to help the common people they represent.

To get a better idea of my beliefs and thoughts please read “The Repair and Upkeep of the Constitution of the United States”, “God’s Agenda vs Man’s Agenda”, and the blogs I have written on my blog site  – https://jimheadrick.wordpress.com/.

Please have a good day and remember that if things continue as they are our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, may never have the opportunity to make any decisions at all.

What should the Supreme Court hear?

30 Jun

We have now heard two decisions that have proven beyond any doubt that the once that own the Supreme Court have change the constitution.  The question is what strategy did they use?  The truth is that the once the created the strategy are probably dead.

We have heard the elected officials, pundits, newspaper, radio and TV stations owned by the elite, plus the unthinking followers of such tripe buy in to statements purportedly derived from manipulated surveys that conclude the majority of American citizens, approve of same sex marriage.  The question might be asked, “Do you believe that same sex couples should have legal status?”  However the report that comes to us over the media would say that the majority of the citizens approve of same sex marriage.  The two ideas are not the same, or should they reflect the true feelings of America.

We must always understand that this country was ordained by God to be a free state.  A freedom allows people to choose or not choose to follow God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  God didn’t’ ordain that the citizens of the US should be forced to follow His teachings, therefore he guided the framers of the Constitution to say clearly that our government could not dictate how God should be worshipped for even that He should be worshipped.  Now some of the pundits have developed the phrase ‘separation of church and state’ which has been mindlessly been promoted by the media as a direct quote from the Constitution.

Controlling when and where to pray, deciding if it was legal to kill an unborn child, and re-defining marriage should never have been taken up by the Supreme Court or any court.  It is not wrong to kill which is proven by simply reading the bible.  However, it is wrong to murder.  Any decision reached by the Supreme Court that limits our belief, or practices to outwardly show our belief in God is directly prohibited by our Constitution.  If anyone in the government or media actually read the Constitution it would be clear to them what the meaning becomes to be.  Saying that leads me to also say that I cannot imagine the framers of the Constitution saying to anyone or even thinking that the government should condone, let alone support any worship except that to God is preposterous.

The original intent of the constitution is never really considered.  It is a string of decisions from previous challenges that control the thinking of these judges.  If you asked a Supreme Court Justice why they made a decision on this or that, I would suggest to you that the decision was based on a previous ruling and not the Constitution.

Right and wrong has not changed over these two hundred and twenty four years since the STATES ratified the Constitution or the Continental Congress declared to the England that “All men are CREATED EQUAL and are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights –“.  Much blood was shed over CREATED EQUAL and CREATOR.  Should the Supreme Court exist?  Absolutely, but not to make law.

Do we want Justice

13 Jun

A five foot two inch female school crossing guard puts her hand up and stops a sixteen wheeler without the slightest notion that the signal will be ignored.  The children cross the busy street without fear from oncoming traffic.  This is the way it should always be when an officer of the law give a command.  Two ideas become evident at this time.  One is that the officer is simply doing her job, and the receiver of the information wants to obey the law.

When I was a young man when an officer gave a command, there was not an option.  Now the bleeding hearts that point at the offers who are expected to, on the spot, psychoanalyze the subject and make a decision whether the subject is guilty or innocent as abusers of the law.

My question is does this make any sense at all.  Where is the respect for the law?  When a duly appointed officer of the law says to anyone that he want them to talk to him on any subject, do we have an option to agree or not agree to speak with him.  Absolutely we could claim the Fifth Amendment, or simply exercise our right to have counsel present, but we should not have the right to scream defiance to the officer attempting to do his or her duty.

From an economic point of view we should understand that we can make law in the legislative branch to be enforced by the executive branch of our government the cost is less than to use the judicial branch of our government to make law.  It seems to me that there should be a reasonable method to reach a point that would protect the safety of the law enforcement officers and the subjects.

A federal law should be written that says that if a law enforcement officer identifies themselves properly and the subject has a reasonable reason to suspect they are the person to whom the officer is addressing, they should make every effort to stop and comply with the instructions of the officer.  If the officer is wrong in his direction that then could become a court case against the officer.

If on the other hand the subject does not comply and runs from the officer, the legal definition of the subject would then become a target for the officer.  The exception would be if the legal representative is not a duly appointed officer of the city, country or perish.

The legal system has turned against the officer giving undeserved rights to the subjects committing or suspected of committing crimes against our country’s citizens.  If it is left to the legal forces to have to put themselves into unnecessary danger to protect the public, something is bad wrong.  I believe the bleeding hearts will not put themselves into danger to protect the public.

This is not to say the officer professional should not give the public respect and expect the same back from the public.  If we go by the accounts and opinions broadcasted by the media the police are always wrong and always prejudice.  Most of our law enforcement officers are good people who have been placed in a position no one would normally elect to be placed.

Our government cannot micro-manage our lives.  No one is that wise.  Our Supreme Court is also not wise enough to make laws with their rulings.

Personally I am for a constitutional convention, but I doubt seriously that a majority of our several states will enact such a convention.  I further believe that if we don’t have a constitutional convention we very well could have to experience a revolution from the masses that have just had it with the congresses and power mongers.

Let us revert back to what God intended when he allowed us to become these United States and let us a win more than one war that was impossible for us to win.  If we don’t give him the glory, he will take this country away from our children and grandchildren.

The media cut Sec Clinton short

29 Apr

I was listening to a speech given by Sec Clinton today.  She was describing a very complicated situation in our justice system that really needs addressing by our congress.  When she got to the complicated area of the address that really isn’t, but should be, understood by all, the media broke away and began talking about part of the speak that really didn’t address the solution.  It would only do lip service to the problem.

Again our media tries to keep us dumbed down to the point we don’t have the opportunity to understand the problems.  We are not all equal to the task of solving such problems but if we understand the problems the people running for congress and talk about the problems facing the nation in a way that can make us believe they can solve the problems facing us.

This is an ongoing problem that the power backing the potential candidates does not want us to understand.  However, we might not be able to solve the problems facing this nation, but we can understand the reality of the problems.   From this point of view we can elect candidates with Christian principles to address them for us.

Let’s stay alert.

Is the media a tool for the rich and powerful?

28 Apr

How the media is able to report on this subject seems to be based on the media’s opinion of the general public.  It isn’t that the general public doesn’t know. It is that they are keep off guard by the power of the media’s ability to misdirect the subject.

The media like the political pundits operate on the opinion of the public.  This is determined by the constant list of surveys being performed by the experts.  In most every survey, the questions are styled to produce a predetermined opinion.  When public discussions or public meetings are called for by a government entity or an organization working directly or indirectly for the government like the Chamber of Commerce, there is always a plan to get the public to reach a predetermined plan or conclusion.  In the media seems constantly to be a puppet for the power of the government and those that control the government.  Just a note here.  By power and those that control it, I do not mean the government electorate.  I am referring to the financial power that determines what is important to the media which protects that power.

Our constitution was written for the common man’s benefit and then shaded toward the power and money.  The first draft was discarded because it promised freedom for all.  This concept flew in the face of the power and money supporting that awesome group.  Immediately it was put down and a correction was requested. To give the blacks voting rights would have meant probably giving women the same.  All unheard of at the time.  The power knew that if women had a say in politics the common man would have been given his writes and common sense at the same time.

The mayor of Baltimore is a good example of this kind of media misconduct.  If anyone with common sense steps back and looks the event last 4/27/2015 it is obvious that she made the right decisions and in a timely manner.  Personally I believe that if there was an agreement between the two gangs mentioned, it will be determined that the gangs united to perpetrate crimes covered by inciting the law abiding protestors to unknowingly aid them in the string of thefts.  Remember if the mayor gets her way by achieving law and order, the gangs will not survive.  Do the rich and powerful care? No, they make money with things are disruptive.  The gulf between the common man and the rich and powerful is now reached its limit.

If the common man is to survive as the powerful entity which was what God planned, we have to begin to ask our own question and not depend solely on the media to dictate our thoughts.  From this point on this writer will continue to concentrate his efforts toward rebuilding what was lost over the almost 250 years of mismanagement.

Another case in point would be the way the media and subsequently the public address discrimination.  We speak now of gay marriage, casual sex, and using the Lord’s name in vain much differently than we did sixty years ago.  Sixty years ago a person could have an idea, walk into a local bank and with a little credit start up a company that could grow and increase the employment in the community.  This was freedom.

The businesses that function in the United States are licensed by the general public therefore they have to hold themselves out to the general public to buy or be serviced by their products and/or service.  However, they have a right to protect themselves from activities or customers that would cost them business or damage their property.

The lack of financial attention to create jobs for the common man by the financial power of this nation IS the main cause of the frustration of the black community in Baltimore.  Unfortunately the white community is not far behind if in fact they are behind.

If you don’t vote, you don’t care.  If you don’t care the action in Baltimore is your fault.
