Like most control rules, the Congress authorizes the establishment of certain agencies and bureaus. The law gives the agency license to pass rules and regulations which its employees are required to obey. The public does not have to obey those rules -- only the bureaucrats and those who wish to do business with the government or get something from that agency. Since the government employees voluntarily apply for their jobs, their rights cannot be violated by rules (as long as they are not discriminatory). If they don't like the rules, they can seek employment in the private sector. If a businessman doesn't like the rules, don't do business with the government.
The really big Con exists because government employees (and most lawyers) are brainwashed into believing that the CFR (regulations) are the law and must be obeyed by everyone. They will innocently tell you so! Since they are acting out of ignorance, they cannot be considered to be acting fraudulently or with malice. When they mislead you into surrendering your rights in exchange for some non-requisite privilege or license, they think they are obeying the laws. Industry and the economy is constantly manipulated by bureaucrats who think they know what is best for all of us. As a result, our jobs and economy are being shipped overseas. Our automobile industry has surrendered a giant share to other countries; the copper industry in the U.S. has all but disappeared; the steel industry is in shambles; our technology in electronics is being shipped out daily; our competitive edge is non-existent and in most instances it is because of over-regulation by a growing, power hungry bureaucracy.
Back door legislation has been going on at an excessive rate since 1954. For over 30 years Legislative Counsel for the U.S. Congress, Ward Hussey, headed a staff of lawyers who translate the will of our elected 435 Representatives in the House. They "translated" the desires of Congressmen into the legal language of the U.S. Code. He and his staff did a great job of finding ways to circumvent the restrictions of the Constitution. His successors are carrying on the fascist procedures. Most legislators seem to feel that as soon as they take the oath to "protect and defend the Constitution," they have sworn an obligation to find ways to circumvent it!
Local legislatures have similar law writers or scribes who try to write proposed law in such a manner that it will not conflict with the U.S. Constitution. They are obviously good at it. They have written, legislators have passed, and the Courts have upheld so much double-speak and gobbledygook that they have made it virtually impossible for most people to separate the voluntary rules from the real laws under the Constitution.
The lawyers and judges who know the distinct differences between these rules and laws are doing a disservice to the people, the nation and liberty by concealing the information from the public. By permitting the people to be duped into believing that they are required to obey a rule or regulation as if it were a valid law, the door is open for the fascist controllers who would like to call a Constitutional Convention. They will attempt to amend or totally change that document so that it conforms to the rules being enforced. Then the rules will actually be laws.
When the Supreme Court permits such vagueness in the law and application of the rules as to give alternative choices for the meaning of words, they discredit all laws and make a mockery of justice. Our perception of the Constitution and our Laws are constantly being manipulated. Young college graduates have totally different views of their relationship and responsibility toward society and themselves than their parents and grandparents did.
Some time back a woman of means, and well educated, asked if I could give her daughter some pointers for a paper she was doing for a school assignment. Her subject:"How we get our rights from the government."
I pointed out to the woman that we DON'T GET OUR RIGHTS FROM THE GOVERNMENT. We are the ones who created the government and gave certain restricted rights to it, and all other rights are ours by nature of our relationship to our creator and the universe. She seemed slightly shocked, but then replied, "That's certainly a novel concept!"
Novel Concept? It is the basis for our nation's existence, but people seem to forget. Which came first, man or government?
Obviously man created government. Government did not create man! Then government can only have those powers we consent to give it. In this nation, under our Constitution, we are supposed to be governed by consent of the governed. We are supposed to be a nation of LAWS, not of men. We have certain Unalienable Rights which cannot be taken away except by due process of law (not rules) and no laws shall discriminate against anyone or be biased in favor of anyone.
If our leaders and lawmakers do not realize what is happening, then each day we will become more like the failed Communist nations of the world, or worse -- a socialist nation with compliance enforced by Nazi SS (without armbands); A land where a few people rule according to their own whims and the masses are workers or slaves. Whether the government usurps power and control via trickery and fraud to get the people to VOLUNTEER or they use guns, threats and even death to force their way to power and control, the end results will be the same.
What happens will be up to you -- YOU! Not George or your kids or your parents or your teacher or your government. It is up to YOU!
When you BREAK THE RULES you weaken the rules and that will strengthen the real laws.
