"YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT."

 Some comments on a recent article entitled
"If you work with/around the law (that's all of us),
you owe it to yourself to investigate this."
The article then goes on to relate of incidents where citixens lied to the FEDS.

          What comes to mind is two things I'.ve learned from my reading:

          But let me quote an article that was written quite some time ago by a real patriot,
Nord Davis of NORTHPOINT TEAMS
(He's now deceased) entitled "YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT."

          "And the Chief Priests accused Jesus of many things:
but he answered them nothing .
And Pilate asked Him again,
'Answereth thou nothing?'
Behold how many things they witness against thee.
But Jesus yet answered nothing;
so that Pilate marveled."   St.Mark 15:3-5

          Jesus, at His trial before the Court of Pilate, said nothing.
He stood mute.
The record shows that this act was so unusual,
so wise, that the Judge of His case marveled.
The Greek word used here is thaumazo meaning,
by implication, to admire.
Have you ever wondered about that, this curious marveling by Pilate?
You see, Jesus refused to testify into Pilate's jurisdiction!

          Yet, there are Christians today,
when compelled into court,
who seem to br prone to keep talking until by their very words
there is enough evidence admitted into the record to convict them
without any further witnesses.

          Did you know that 90% of all convictions
are obtained by admissions and confessions,
generally unwittingly,
obtained from the defendant himself?
It is almost an axiom of law
that all of the evidence that will ever be used
against a defendant will be furnished by the defendant.
This is why the government and local police investigators
do all they can to get you to talk to them about the case,
giving them your side of the story.
Even if you are innocent, it is your words,
uttered during the frustration of being incarcerated
and not knowing what will happen next,
that will be pieced together to frame up a case against you.
Therefore, when you are in custody of the police or federal agents of any kind,
do not make any statements or answer any questions,
even as to the weather or where you live.
You are to stand mute, say nothing,
and keep your mouth shut on any and all subjects.
Do not demand a lawyer or permit yourself to be released on bond,
for in doing so you may grant them jurisdiction
that they might not otherwise have,
and thereby forfeit one of your right under the Common Law.
Stand mute even though you are threatened with contempt of court
or even if you think you can answer the questions to your legal advantage.
The very first question from the judge that you answer,
even to make a plea of "not guilty,"
is an admission that this court has jurisdiction over you.
Jurisdiction is a legal point of law that must be determined by the court
before it can move forward with your case.
If that cannot be proven, the case must be dismissed.
Therefore, why volunteer to prove that point for them by answering questions of the court,
further, if you answer as how to how you plead,
you not only admit to jurisidiction,
but you admit to understanding the charges
that have been placed against you,
and that you are therefore mentally compedent to stand trial.

          Remember, the Chief Priest in their black robes
are not going to appreciate what I have instructed you in these few paragraphs.
They want you to make admissions,
even that you are not guilty,
so that they can establish legal jurisdiction over your person.
They want you to volunteer evidence,
such as fingerprints and photographs,
without counsel of your choice being present.
They are professionals at the use of words,
fears, anxieties and threats
to trick you into giving them the admission and confessions
they really need to get a conviction.
The problem is that you assume that you are innocent until proven guilty
or that they will accept your simple explanation and drop the whole thing.
Don't be so naive or take such a chance with your future.
Stand mute as Christ has taught us and maybe even the court will marvel.

          When we have a law enforcement system that no longer does its job,
by not investigating the problem or complaint,
and then goes out to just arrest no matter who is innocent or guilty,
you have a problem.
When our department's give out awards to the officer who gets the most D.U.I.I.'s, we have a problem,
that only breeds corruption within the ranks for doing whatever it takes to get an arrest.
When the officers ask questions instead of doing an investigation,
then files  a report on the answers, not knowing if they are lies or truths, we have a problem.
So folks DO NOT CONVICT YOURSELVES.
Remain silent as your Constitutional Rights allow you to do, AT ALL TIMES.
Make them do the jobs as they are paid to do.
(REAL POLICE WORK).
