mold of human degrada-
tion. From the Middle East
to the Far East, from Af-
rica to the Americas big
rats in high places scurry
about, leaving a plague of
death, destruction, hunger
and immense sorrow. Most
folks get rid of the rats in
their houses.
It seems we need a
massive and immediate
house cleaning. Who is
going to pick up the broom
and start sweeping?
It also appears that a
lot of folks just don’t want
to get dirty and would
rather play Ostrich, which
reminds me of the saying,”
Bad things happen when
good men do nothing.
Maybe long ago war
was not a necessary part of
the equation. When it be-
came so is unclear to me.
Maybe it was the first time
it was said, “Yes, we have
no bananas,” that set it off.
I just don’t know. All I do
know is that in my mirror I
see a man who hopes and
prays for peace and is
grateful that there are those
who are willing and able to
preserve it.
‘Obey God ’
From J.D. Freeman
Cave Junction
Since a Social Security
number is now assigned to
every person at birth, no
contract has been signed
by that person. Therefore,
if that person never uses
that number after the legal
age of 18, they are not
“wards of the government”
or “taxpayers,” there is no
contract.
The Social Security
contract gives 108 benefits
to the person (ward) in
return for Social Security
and income tax payments.
The terms of any con-
tract control because con-
tract terms take precedence
over general law such as
the U.S. Constitution.
The problem today in
the year of our Lord 2003,
the loss of our freedoms
and rights, is caused by the
making of contracts with
the state, in violation of the
common law.
Some of these con-
tracts are licenses such as
marriage, business, profes-
sional, driver, etc. Also
“permits” such as building,
well drilling, etc. from the
state are contracts. Even
registration with the state
as an ordained minister is a
contract that subjects the
minister to punishment for
teaching the Ten Com-
mandments or for disobey-
ing any of the laws
(contract terms) of the
state.
For a church to incor-
porate is a sin since this
places another “god” or
power over the Lord our
God.
Exodus 20:3, “Thou
shalt have no other gods
before me.”
This deviation from
the common law has pro-
duced the admiralty tyr-
anny we live under today.
The only thing that
will save us is to obey the
Ten Commandments, and
the laws, precepts, and
judgments of God.
