THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT THERE TO HELP YOU!

By Paul and Terry Brussel-Gibbons

Attention Parents and Grandparents involved any kind of alternative lifestyle:

The purpose of this article is to make you aware of the dangerous situation that has been allowed to develop around the issue of 'child
protection.' Many of those who have been impacted by 'Child Protective' agencies have been left with the feeling that they and their children had been hijacked to one of those despotic police states and are living in a bizarre 'twilight zone', bereft of the rights they thought were inalienable.

They frequently do not discuss the matter because it usually starts with a false accusation of child molestation. They are embarrassed to even let others know the accusation has been made. Ever wonder why that nice couple or single mother/father simply disappeared from your community? In a significant number of cases, they were threatened by a "social" worker at gunpoint of an assisting uniformed police officer.
When forced to choose between their children and their liberty, they understandably chose their children.

This situation has resulted in many outrageous persecutions of innocent people, none of which were done according to due process of the law.

SO YOUR KIDS ARE GROWN AND YOU THINK YOU ARE SAFE? THINK AGAIN!

Grandparents who are seen in public with their grandchildren may be endangered by the anonymous phone call of someone who (perhaps
innocently) misinterprets a child's hug or someone who has a personal axe to grind about the grandparents, parents or their lifestyle.

Soon there is a "social" worker demanding to talk to little Amy or Steve in a secluded place where they can ply the child with leading
questions about subjects and activities far beyond their ken. With no witness or recordings to tell the truth in court. Such behavior was not an isolated incident but is a daily routine of such social workers.

Many people are so intimidated by these agencies, they are unaware of the fact that the rules of due process still apply. Instead, they acquiesce to the most egregious intrusions and fabrications, fearful of the loss of their children. While we all want children to be protected from harm, the truth is that many of these cases stem more from a need to justify the agency's budget and the social workers prejudices than a genuine interest in helping children and their families.

What would you do if someone said to you "give up your lifestyle or your children will be 'kidnapped' and raised in an institution or by
strangers who may ruin them for life?" Many have buckled under to this and live in fear until their children turn 18.

It doesn't have to be this way.

This nightmare was recently visited on us. Our granddaughter's family was under siege. Because my wife Terry did not believe a social
worker's absurd story that our granddaughter had touched me improperly in the front row of our temple children's services (yes in plain view of God, the Canter and everyone including my wife). She was not deemed capable of protecting our granddaughter from molestation in our home.

I was actually forced to move out of my own house while our 10 year old granddaughter stayed there for a week to go to our local Jewish
Community Center summer camp. No trial of any kind was needed to institute this attempted destruction of our family unity--only a social
worker's threat to kidnap from the custody of the parents children who have only been 'molested' by the system itself.

The focus of most of this investigation has been on our lifestyle, not on the original accusation. If we accepted this, I could have only
monitored visits with our grandchildren until they turned 18. This applies to our two-year-old grandson even though no accusation involving
him was even made. My wife and I could never again take the children on a family outing, a camping trip or even baby-sit them for a coupe of hours while their parents had an evening together. We are not accepting it, nor are the children's parents. A brilliant legal researcher is
assisting us in fighting this violation of all our rights. He has proved us with information that anyone facing this situation needs to know.

The following is case law, the full test of which can be found in What you Need to Know About the California Code by Thomas Marvin;
Maxwell.

"Under our form of government, the Legislature is not supreme. It is only one of the organs of that absolute sovereignty of people; like other
departments of government, it can only exercise such powers as have been delegated to it, and when it steps beyond that boundary, its acts, like those of the most humble magistrate in the state, who transcends his jurisdiction, are utterly void."

"What is 'legislative power,' and how far does it extend? Does it reach the life, liberty or property of the citizen who is not charged with
transgression of the laws…?"

"The security of life, liberty and property lies at the very foundation of the social compact; and to say that this grant of legislative power'
included the right to attack private property is equivalent to saying that the people have delegated to their servants the power of defeating one of the great ends for which governments were established."

"The legislative power of the State does not reach such an unwarranted extent."

Billing v. Hall, 7 Cal 1

Are you going to permit a government which is supposed to be OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE To issue threats made at gun point to take your children or grandchildren away?

Fortunately, you don't have to permit it.

According to federal statute law and numerous court rulings, there are two distinct classes of citizenship in the United States of America: state citizenship, and "citizenship of the United States," as created by the Fourteenth Amendment. Once class carries with it the inalienable rights acknowledged by our Founders that we expect government to protect, such as those enumerated in the Bill of Rights amended to the
Constitution of the United States, and in the Declaration of Rights found in all of the state constitutions. The other class of citizenship carries
no such rights.

Would it surprise you to learn that this latter class, the one which carries no inalienable rights, is “citizenship of the United States?” This is
not a mere opinion or lay rhetoric. This is legal fact documented in numerous court cases. The following direct quotation from federal case
law spells out the foundation used by government to abridge rights and assert authority in areas we thought were protected by the U.S. and
state constitutions.

“The privileges and immunities clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects very few rights because it neither incorporates any of the Bill of Rights nor protects all rights of individual citizens. See Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. (16 Wall.) 36, 21 L.Ed. 394 (1873). Instead, this provision protects only those rights peculiar to being a citizen of the federal government; it does not protect those rights which relate to state citizenship.”

Jones v. Temmer, 829 F. Supp. 1226, 1232 (D. Colo. 1993).

This is but one of many such rulings beginning in 1872 and forming an unmistakable pattern through our history of the abrogation of the
inalienable rights fought for by our Founders. The unfortunate problem is that “citizenship of the United States” is the class of citizenship that
the vast majority of Americans claim every day, both informally and on government documents. As of 2001, practically every man, woman,
and child in America has waived their inalienable rights in favor of the flimsy semblance of rights purported by the Fourteenth Amendment.
Most of us do not even understand that the freedom is gone.

This pattern of “civil rights fraud” has been thoroughly documented in Civil Rights Fraud: Committed by the Government Against the People,
by Thomas Marvin; Maxwell and Ken Gullekson.

If we are to ever regain possession of the sacred freedom our creator endowed upon us and exercise the unalienable right to possess and keep it, we must first understand the law. without this understanding, history teaches us, it will be impossible to maintain possession of freedom.

What You Can Do

EDUCATE YOURSELVES. Buy the book Civil Rights Fraud: Committed by the Government Against the People by Thomas Marvin; Maxwell and Ken Gullekson. ($25 to Paul Brussel Gibbons at address below.) Learn for yourself what your rights are, how you've been cheated of them, and how you can avoid being cheated of them in the future.

California residents have even more tools to help them protect their families in light of the fact that most of the regulations these ‘Child
Protective’ agencies and other government officials have been operating by have never been constitutionally passed into law! What You Need to Know About the California Code spells out the clear picture of a legislature that stole the freedom that we all believe to be sacred. ($20 to address below.)

By having the courage to read these books, you will come to understand that “the law” is not the insurmountable, unattainable monster of
knowledge that it is commonly portrayed to be by the lawyers. Once you understand that knowledge of the law is not out of reach of the
common citizen, you will also realize that the true freedom that was intended to be ours is also attainable for anyone with the courage to reach out and take it.

Legal Fund Donations are much appreciated and may be made out to Live the Dream and sent to the same address. This fight does not come free and is using up most of our personal savings.


 

...Since, September 11, the world has changed. We, as Americans are now being given an invitation to make a choice between holding true to the principles our nation was founded upon, or to abandon these in the pursuit of ‘safety’ against a nebulous and undefined enemy. As we prepare to defend ourselves, as we must, we should ask, what are we defending? All of us want to feel secure in our persons, homes, families and businesses, and we will have to make adjustments in our lives to achieve these ends.

We must, however, make sure those adjustments empower us to be more responsible for our lives and not to retreat into despair and become even less involved in our government.

The people in these lands from where this attack arose have nothing like the life we have here. They live under despotic dictatorships and must eke out a living under the crushing yoke of tyranny all the while being told that evil America is the source of their problems.

It is the very freedoms we enjoy that so infuriate the murderous tyrants controlling these nations. Freedoms we, in our complacency, don’t fully understand ourselves. This ignorance has allowed our own government to overstep its authority bringing us dangerously ever closer to the tyranny we abhor in the terrorist harboring nations.
