Unfortunately Martha Stewart will stop sending these email messages
when she enters federal prison. What went wrong with Martha Stewart?
Why was she politically destroyed at the hands of government?
A Supreme Subversion
To answer the above questions you need to understand the subversion of
law that occurred in the United States Supreme Court. Natural law has
been evolving for the past 2500 years from ancient Greece to modern
America. However, during the early part of the twentieth century
America's federal judiciary began replacing natural rights that are
rooted in reality with legal positivism that is rooted in politicized
agendas.
Led by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in the early 1900s, the Supreme
Court began abandoning natural rights as articulated in the
Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Since
that time the American legal system increasingly violated the
fourteenth amendment of the Constitution. The fourteenth amendment
protects each citizen's liberty by stating that liberty cannot be
deprived without due process of law.
The first realm of liberty that came under assault in the early 1900s
was the economic realm. Citizens gradually lost the liberty to engage
in free and voluntary trade among each other. Using the philosophy of
legal positivism, the government enacted laws that took away each
citizen's economic liberty without due process of law. This assault on
economic liberty gained momentum during the twentieth century. By the
1970s there were a plethora of liberty-restricting laws that hampered
American commerce.
It was during this era that America transformed from a constitutional
republic to a quasi-fascist state. According to Webster's dictionary,
fascism is a social organization whereby private economic enterprise
is under centralized governmental control. Starting in the early 1900s
in America, the means of production have been privately owned in name
only. The government has controlled the means of production through
minimum wage laws, price control laws, labor laws, workplace safety
laws, unemployment insurance laws, social security laws, graduated
income tax laws, antitrust laws, insider trading laws and central
banking laws.
There are several harmful consequences of fascism. One consequence is
the increased cost of production caused by government intervention.
These increased production costs are transferred to consumers in the
form of higher retail prices. Plus the combination of federal, state
and local taxes require Americans to pay 50% of their income to the
government. Higher retail prices combined with decreased disposable
income results in a lower standard of living for citizens. Also
fascism deprives citizens of their natural right to engage in
voluntary trade among each other.
Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that
"mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than
to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are
accustomed." This explains why most people tolerate losses of liberty
and a declining standard of living caused by an overreaching
government.
Upon replacing natural law jurisprudence with legal positivism in the
Supreme Court, the government was able to override its constitutional
limitations. During and after that transitional period the government
was able to undercut natural rights with impunity. The government
wielded non-objective laws to prosecute numerous competitive
businesses. For example, the government used non-objective antitrust
laws to prosecute Standard Oil, US Steel, ALCOA, Kodak, GM, Ford, GE,
DuPont, IBM, AT&T, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Visa, MasterCard and several
other businesses.
None of these businesses violated any natural laws or anyone's
individual rights. However each business innovated to increase
production and decrease prices, which put pressure on competitors.
With its fascist power, the government urged uncompetitive losers to
attack the innovative winners using non-objective antitrust laws. This
resulted in the penalizing of successful innovators while financially
rewarding the stagnant losers.
Being freed from natural law jurisprudence enabled the government to
go after not only competitive businesses but also competitive
individuals. Using non-objective laws such as tax laws and insider
trading laws, the government prosecuted competitive individuals
including Martha Stewart, Sam Waksal, Reuben Sturman, Leona Helmsley,
Michael Milken, Irwin Schiff, Ivan Boesky, Dennis Levine and Stew
Leonard.
The US tax code consists of 20,000 pages of non-objective rules,
regulations and laws. That tax code is a Hegelian nightmare of
contradictions that baffle even tax professionals. Yet Beardsley Ruml,
who was Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, said to the
American Bar Association in 1945 that taxes as a means of revenue are
obsolete. Ruml said taxes should be used as means of controlling
citizens, society and the economy. Ruml declared that with central
banking and fiat money, the government can get an endless

Note: Ivan Boesky has been removed from the revised version of this
publication and other Local Group publications because he committed
objective crimes (he broke into people's offices and stole
confidential information).
The revised version of this publication will be mailed to select US
federal judges next week beginning with Judge Cedarbaum. Comments,
suggestions or criticisms can be sent to local_group@usa.com prior to
mailing this information to US federal judges.
