body owns it anyway, then why respect it?
Is
money the root of all evil? I don't think so. I think it's
far more likely that the demise of money was the root of all evil.
The demise of money corrupted everything that it touched, and it touched
everything. It appears that the "scribes and chief priests" are still
deceiving us. They've converted our money into intangible abstractions
and told us that it's money. They've used the abstractions as weapons
to deliver us up to the authority and jurisdiction of the "governor".
All the while, they've been telling us that we are free and wealthy, and
we foolishly believed them.
If
we want to end the deception and retrieve our liberty, then first we must
end our ignorance. As a good beginning, I think that it would be
very educational if we were to try to reinvent money.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif)
Danforth's Folly Revisited
Sam Aurelius Milam III
In
September of 1999, John Danforth was appointed as a Special Counsel to
resolve, once and for all, the Branch Davidian Massacre. In my article
Danforth's
Folly, October 1999, I predicted that his investigation would be
worthless. It would be nice if I'm wrong, but so far the massacre
remains unresolved, the perpetrators remain at large, and justice remains
a fantasy. As I've said before, when the peaceful pursuit of justice
becomes irrelevant, then the violent pursuit of justice becomes inevitable.
Eventually, it even starts to seem desirable.
Now,
as another Waco anniversary slides past and the murderers remain at large,
I wonder if the various homicidal maniacs who reside within the U.S. government
have pondered their options. I'd suggest that they certainly shouldn't
put their children in federal buildings any more. Maybe they didn't
know any better before the Oklahoma City bombing, but they do now.
If they continue to do it anyway, then it will be clear that they're trying
to use the children as shields. I expect that the children will be
ineffective in that capacity. If there's another attack, then I'm
sure that the bureaucrats will shamelessly and tearfully use the dead children
as another propaganda bonanza to advance the cause of repression, just
like they've done every time children have been killed — by anyone except
government agents.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif)
Patently Unacceptable
Sam Aurelius Milam III
The
new practice of obtaining patents on human genes is ludicrous. If
a corporation "owns" a gene, then must people get permission from the corporation
before they can conceive a child that includes a patented gene? Do
they have to pay royalties on the child? If the child has a patented
gene that influences musical talent, does the corporation get to decide
whether or not the child can become a musician?
The
fact is that a corporation cannot own either genes or any rights to them.
It can patent a process, but not the gene itself. The sorry practice
of granting patents on genes should be terminated immediately, and all
previously issued patents should be rescinded.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif)
Letters to the Editor
Sam,
I
especially enjoyed your March issue. Your "Cyber
Attack" makes an interesting and even plausible speculation.
Knowing how regulators think, it's probably only a matter of time before
they begin shackling internet use in some way. "A
Worse Bigotry" expresses concisely a belief I've held for a long time,
but never put into words. "Watching
Big Brother" is the first mention of these creepy events, I've seen.
Thanks,
— Steve; Fremont, California
(Update from John Webster)
Today
the judge ruled on a major motion of my legal case. I was hoping
that my having to register as a "Sex Offender" would give me the opportunity
to get a trial. Unfortunately, the judge made a ruling that we all
thought he couldn't make. He has decided that I am a special case;
that Magen's Law doesn't apply to me. He ruled that I no longer have
to register AND that I won't have my plea bargain vacated.
The
Mercury
News article3
(March 25, 2000) talks about my attempts to get a trial and my running
for office. The reporter read the article to me over the phone.
Generally he shows me in a fair light, he does gloss over my accusations
of police altering evidence (police "enhanced" the evidence tapes).
They did list my Web-Page ....
Needless
to say, drop that ad of mine till it looks like I will get a trial again.
— John Webster
