Judicial Imperialism
Sam Aurelius Milam III
15x5 Page Background GIF ImageIncreasingly, U.S. courts are hearing cases wherein they lack jurisdiction,1 exercising instead an illegitimate, de facto authority.2
15x5 Page Background GIF ImageIn the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, on May 29, four followers of Osama bin Laden were convicted in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.  The bombings occurred in Kenya and Tanzania and only one of the defendants was a U.S. citizen.  Over the other three defendants, therefore, and over the alleged crimes, the court lacked jurisdiction.  The matter should have been heard by courts in Kenya and Tanzania, not by a U.S. court.
15x5 Page Background GIF ImageIn June, the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia indicted 13 Saudis and one Lebanese citizen in the bombing of the Khobar Towers, in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.  The indictments were made under Title 18 of the United States Code.  Neither a U.S. court nor the United States Code can have jurisdiction over foreign citizens and alleged crimes in foreign countries.
15x5 Page Background GIF ImageThe behavior of these courts is completely illegitimate.  Suppose, for example, that Osama bin Laden sent people to arrest a U.S. citizen for violations of Muslim doctrine, took the U.S. citizen against his will to Afghanistan, tried him in an Afghan court, and put him in an Afghan prison.  In principle, that's what the U.S. government is doing.  However, the U.S. government doesn't have any jurisdiction over defendants or "crimes" in foreign countries.  The fact that the "crimes" affected U.S. Embassies or harmed U.S. servicemen doesn't confer jurisdiction.  Those are diplomatic matters.  The usurpation of such diplomatic matters by U.S. courts is far more dangerous than "terrorist" bombings.  The jurisdictions claimed are thinly veiled U.S. imperialism.  It seems that Osama bin Laden is right about the U.S. government.
15x5 Page Background GIF ImageU.S. and "world" courts are increasingly guilty of such usurpations.  They do so for the sake of opposition to such things as "genocide" (which seldom happens), "human rights violations" or "crimes against humanity" (which might be a matter of local opinion or, maybe, nobody else's business), "terrorism" (effective resistance), "drug abuse" (free choice), or any other complaint that some intrusive reformer can use as an excuse to impose his beliefs on others.  The concept of jurisdiction seems to have disappeared.  All that's needed for a court to exert authority at will (despotism) is for some intrusive reformer to demand it.  Then, suddenly, the court has all the authority it needs to forcibly impose any decision that is desired by those in power (terrorism).  Is this the so-called "rule of law"?  If so, then give me anarchy.10x5 Page Background GIF ImageGun

 ^ 
Court of competent jurisdiction.  One having power and authority of law at the time of acting to do the particular act.  One having jurisdiction under the Constitution and/or laws to determine the question in controversy.
—Black's Law Dictionary
2
 ^ 
De facto .... In fact, in deed, actually.  This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of affairs which must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate.  Thus, an office, position or status existing under a claim or color of right such as a de facto corporation.  In this sense it is the contrary of de jure, which means rightful, legitimate, just, or constitutional.  Thus, an officer, king, or government de facto is one who is in actual possession of the office or supreme power, but by usurpation, or without lawful title....

Feminist Hypocrisy Continues
Sam Aurelius Milam III
15x5 Page Background GIF ImageFor years now, I've been objecting to the arrogance, hypocrisy, and intolerance of the feminists.  Lest anyone be deluded, those characteristics continue.  So do my objections.  The most recent example to come to my attention is the female-only public school in Spanish Harlem (Reference 1).  After all the decades of the feminists whining about sexual equality it seems incredible, but it's true.  It's a female-only public school.  They're even bragging about how much better the girls do, lacking boys in the classes.
15x5 Page Background GIF ImageNow, don't get me wrong.  I approve of sexual segregation.  I think sexually integrated institutions are the stupidest idea since female suffrage.  However, women have coercively intruded into every male-only institution in existence, from male-only high school wrestling teams (Reference 10) to male-only military academies (Reference 6).  So, as long as they insist on destroying, by their very presence, the fundamental nature of male-only institutions, so long as they refuse to even allow the existence of such institutions, then they can certainly relinquish their hypocritical insistence on having their own female-only institutions.  As long as they insist on the “equal” treatment of the sexes (a stupid idea), then it has to work the same for them as for us.  Until I can have a male-only workplace, a male-only research team, or maybe a male only sports program, END THE FEMALE-ONLY SCHOOLS!10x5 Page Background GIF ImageMale Symbol

Letters to the Editor
dear sam a.m.III,
15x5 Page Background GIF Imagegood to see the june edition of frontiersman.  i quite like your views on things and totally agree with the statement 'the truth is within you'.  heres a poem i wrote some time back.  please consider it for publication in your newsletter.
15x5 Page Background GIF Imagegood wishes,

YES
Yes,
I am a rabid optimist
For me
Every tree that continues to stand
Every stream that continues to flow
Every child that runs away from home is an indication that the battle is not only on
It is being won.

You may tell me about the nuclear arms race
And all I can tell you is that an unknown child held my hand with love.

You will try to draw me into the plateau of practical life
Tell me that not only god but all the religious and irreligious leaders are dead
And all I can tell you is that across the forest
Lives a young man who calls the earth his mother.

You will give me the boring details of the rise of state power after every revolution
And all I can tell you is that in our tribe we still share our bread

You will reason with me
And I will talk nonsense like this
And because the difference between breathing and living life is the difference between reason and poetry
I will read poems to you
Poems full of optimism
Poems full of dreams
And maybe a poem better than this.

— Satinath Sarangi (Sathyu)

The following three letters are all in response to the Timothy McVeigh Memorial Issue.
— editor
15x5 Page Background GIF Image[Regarding the article Danforth's Folly, June 11, 2001 Frontiersman, page 4]  Danforth made it clear to any thinking person (a rarity) that his investigation was supposed to fail, by design.  In my opinion he was honest enough about it to make this known.  The rest was a smoke screen to prevent censure.  Working for the government does strange things to people with moral and ethical standards.  The way he made his announcement and its timing suggests that he had already been briefed on what he was expected to do and not to do during his time as a special counsel.  That he followed those instructions means his job with the government is more important to him than his moral and ethical standards.

Sam,
15x5 Page Background GIF ImageHappened to be over a friend's house recently and noted a copy of Reader's Digest open;  it had an article glorifying a BATF agent, with the usual "righteousness".  What bothers me is not just the arrogance of the feds, but the sycophantry2 of too much of the populace, especially those who call themselves "conservative".

The right to armed revolution is one of the people's most basic rights.  It is the function for which the ballot is proxy, and is the final protection against creeping authority.  This right is sufficiently important that its attempted limitation by government is in itself cause for armed revolt.

Bulwer-Lytton Contest Results
Original Source Unknown.  Forwarded by Steve, of Fremont, California
15x5 Page Background GIF ImageThese are the 10 winners of this year's Bulwer-Lytton contest, wherein one writes only the first line of a really bad novel.  (Victorian author Edward George Bulwer-Lytton is famous — or infamous — for writing the novel that began, "It was a dark and stormy night.")
10.     As a scientist, Throckmorton knew that if he were to ever break wind in the echo chamber, he would never hear the end of it. 
09.     Just beyond the Narrows, the river widens. 
08.     With a curvaceous figure that Venus would have envied, a tanned, unblemished oval face framed with lustrous thick brown hair, deep azure blue eyes fringed with long black lashes, perfect teeth that vied for competition, and a small straight nose, Marilee had a beauty that defied description.
07.     Andre, a simple peasant, had only one thing on his mind as he crept along the East wall:  "Andre creep" ... "Andre creep" ... "Andre creep".
06.     Stanislaus Smedley, a man always on the cutting edge of narcissism, was about to give his body and soul to a back-alley sex-change surgeon to become the woman he loved.
05.     Although Sarah had an abnormal fear of mice, it did not keep her from "eeking" out a living at a local pet store.
04.     Stanley looked quite bored and somewhat detached, but then penguins often do.
03.     Like an overripe beefsteak tomato rimmed with cottage cheese, the corpulent remains of Santa Claus lay dead on the hotel floor.
02.     Mike Hardware was the kind of private eye who didn't know the meaning of the word fear, a man who could laugh in the face of danger and spit in the eye of death — in short, a moron with suicidal tendencies.

AND THE WINNER IS:

01.     The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved aside the darkness, crept along the greensward, and, with sticky fingers, pushed through the castle window, revealing the pillaged princess, hand at throat, crown asunder, gaping in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden amphibian lying beside her, unable to comprehend the magnitude of the frog's deception, screaming madly, "You lied!"10x5 Page Background GIF ImageInfinity Symbol
