Regular readers here know that when the question of cops being \u201cpeace officers\u201d or \u201claw enforcement officers\u201d comes up, my answer is, \u201cThey have to be both.\u00a0 They can\u2019t keep the peace against law-breakers without enforcing the law, and the enforcement of the law does keep the peace.\u201d\u00a0 I said pretty much the same in another publication I write for frequently, and a letter came in to the editor there from a reader I\u2019ll call \u201cW.\u201d\u00a0 He said in part:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was nothing in (Ayoob\u2019s) statements that wasn\u2019t false or misleading. Back when we were living under the common Law, sometimes referred to as \u201cPublic Law\u201d (set aside back in 1933 when the bankers stole our Lawful money), there was no such thing as \u2018law enforcement officers,\u201d because under the common Law there was only one Law, summed up in the golden rule; \u2018Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.\u2019 Preserving the peace is what \u2018Peace Officers\u2019 are for. When Marshal Dillon made his rounds visiting the Long Branch, and other saloons in Dodge City, he was keeping the peace by letting his presence be known. Dillon\u2019s purpose was to remind the ne\u2019er-do-wells and rowdies to behave themselves. The people knew when they were interfering with the rights of others; the common law was considered to be self-evident\u2014common sense, and ignorance of this Law was no excuse. Peace officers didn\u2019t go around \u2018enforcing\u2019 anything; the People were free. But once Marshal Dillon ordered a person to turn over his gun while he was in town, he was breaking the law by enforcing an unconstitutional man-made rule. We all have the right and duty (if we are capable), to arrest those who violate the law, but that is not \u2018enforcing the law,\u2019 by forcing obedience to man-made rules. We have been dumbed down so far that today people actually believe that we cannot live without millions of statues (sic) to regulate us, and cops everywhere\u2014to charge us (bill us) whenever we break a rule. Most, if not all of the 63-million statutes \u2018enforced\u2019 by \u2018law enforcement officers\u2019 today are unlawful; they do not even apply to most people, who put far too much trust in the British Accredited Registry (BAR Association) and it\u2019s (sic)attorney members (including judges) who have taken over our judicial system.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Wow. At first glance, one might have thought his writing \u201cstatues\u201d when he meant \u201cstatutes\u201d was just a typo, but a full reading showed he probably didn\u2019t <\/em>know a statute from a statue. Using TV fiction as an example is a dead giveaway (does this guy think Marshal Dillon wasn\u2019t <\/em>enforcing the law when he blew bad guys away on the streets of Dodge City in almost every episode?) But you couldn\u2019t finish the above without getting a very strong whiff of the bizarre alternate history of the self-declared \u201csovereign citizen.\u201d<\/p>\n
I figured I should get a little more familiar with \u201cW\u201d before I responded to his strange screed, so I did a bit of research.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t take long to determine why \u201cW\u201d didn\u2019t like law enforcement: he had been convicted for illegally manufacturing and selling firearms subsequent to a BATFE investigation.\u00a0 I found a hilarious transcript from his time in court where one of the world\u2019s most patient judges decisively shot down the meaningless drivel \u201cW\u201d pompously babbled in court for the record.<\/p>\n
And \u201cW\u201d had enough hate to go around, way past law enforcement. Elsewhere, \u201cW\u201d had written among other things,<\/p>\n
“I do not relate to homosexuality, suicide, or race mixing\u2014 especially with Negros.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
However, \u201cW\u201d reserved his most potent vitriol for his raging anti-Semitism. Some examples from his babbling elsewhere:<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of the suppression and problems in this world can be traced to some agenda of the self-chosen Jews and the Protocols spell them out for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reason for all the (JFK assassination) conspiracy theories was to distract us from the fact that Oswald was one of their own, a communist (the Jews invented communism through their god Lucifer), and they didn\u2019t want us to focus on Oswald because we might begin to connect the dots and figure out how despicable these troublemakers really are.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJews consider us, the true Israelites, goyim, non-Jew cattle or farm animals for their use and harvesting.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Haters gonna hate\u2026and sometimes, they hate everything and everyone.\u00a0 In poor \u201cW\u2019s\u201d case, it apparently led him straight to a diagnosis of batshit crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
