13-01-18 Gun control at home and mercenary wars abroad - No Civilized Society Without a General Draft!


US military in Addis Ababa

In Mali, France initiated a classic colonial war in Africa.  The only rationale, if any, for France's actions is that Mali is a former French colony.  With it, France dragged other western nations into yet another war, with no consultation with the People of any of the parties involved.  One loses count of all the arenas in the world, where US armed forces are now involved in armed conflicts...

Although many do not see the relationship, the common theme between current conduct of France and other western nations in Mali and gun control in the US, is that they both show that you cannot maintain a civilized society without a general draft.

With a general draft, the armed forces are true representatives of the People, not of government.

With a general draft, the People at large are made competent in the use of firearms.

With a general draft, true representation of the People is constantly bearing arms. 

With a general draft, there is no way to use the armed forces (and that includes today Homeland Security and rogue police forces) against the People.

With a general draft, there is no way to conduct foreign policy, where the US eagerly jumps into any war opportunity, anywhere in the world.

With a general draft, it becomes very difficult to hide from the People, what is going on in the armed forces, both at home and abroad. 

This has been the case at least since the Roman Empire - once you start relying on a mercenary army to fight your imperial wars, the republic ceases to exist!   In particular, the combination of a mercenary army and strict gun control at home is a sure recipe for the end of civilized society.  Basically, the People of the US must choose - the comfort of enslavement, or liberty including the duty to serve in the armed forces.

Interesting perspective. I have long maintained that the US Army consist of a core of highly trained officers and non-coms who are constantly training a rotating corps of civilians who serve an initial 2-year enlistment, followed by periodic re-training of one to four months every 5 or so years. This would be a general draft, with virtually every citizen trained. Mobilization, when needed, would be nearly instant, and the citizen/soldier would remain trained and armed to resist intrusion from any source, foreign or domestic. On reflection, this would be very much like the Swiss model.

There are also numerous other benefits, social and economic (serving as a true melting pot for "nation building", creating a common basic training for employment), but that is besides the point.  It is also closer to the perpective of some of the framers on standing armies.  But that is also besides the point.  The point is that it is a no brainer that otherwise, the people are doomed to be enslaved between gun control, a mercenary army, controled by the central government, and roaming local gangs of rogue police...  jz

13-01-17 PRESS RELEASE: Fraud in the US Consulate, Jerusalem, denying the right to renounce US citizenship

US Consul Kirk G Smith administered false and deliberately misleading Oath of Renunciation of US citizenship and issued false and deliberately misleading consular records on the matter.  US Consul Kirk G Smith and Consul General Michael Ratney refused to correct the administration of the oath and the respective records, and also refused to refund the fees, falsely collected for such fraudulent services.  The consuls also refuse to state whether Consul Smith is credentialed with any nation, or whether he holds lawful appointment by the US State Department to the US Consulate in Jerusalem.  Complaint, filed with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes that the lawless status of the US Consulate, Jerusalem, is likely to be an enhancing factor in the lawless conduct of the US consular staff there.  The conduct is likely to be part of retaliatory measures against a Human Rights activist, who exposed large-scale fraud in the California and US courts electronic record systems and produced ample records of racketeering in Countrywide Financial Corporation and Bank of America.

 
Consul General Michael Ratney; US Consulate, Jerusalem


Jerusalem, January 17 – Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), released a set of fraudulent records, pertaining to renunciation of US citizenship, recently issued by the US Consulate, Jerusalem. [1] With it, related correspondence with Consul General Michael Ratney and Consul Kirk G Smith, [2] and with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs was released. [3]
On January 7 and again on January 14, 2013, Dr Zernik arrived for scheduled appointments at the US Consulate, Jerusalem, for the administration of the oath of renunciation of US citizenship.  The US law provides the right to renounce citizenship through appearance before a consular officer outside the United States and taking the irrevocable oath of renunciation.
US Consul Kirk G Smith administered false and deliberately misleading Oath of Renunciation of US citizenship – no witnesses attested the administration of the oath.
Consequently, Consul Smith proceeded to issue false and deliberately misleading respective consular records:
·       No seal of the US Consulate was embossed on the records in the designated spaces;
·       The Oath of Renunciation of US Citizenship was issued without the matching Witnesses' Attestation record, and
·       In response for request for certification of the records by the clerk or the custodian of records of the US Consulate, Consul Kirk Smith himself certified the records, which he had previously executed.
Dr Zernik detected on the spot the fraud being perpetrated, and requested that Consul Smith correct the administration of the oath and the respective records. 
Consul Smith refused to do so.
Later, in correspondence with Consul General Michael Ratney and Consul Smith, Dr Zernik requested that the administration of the oath and the respective records be corrected, alternatively – that the fees ($600), which had been collected for such invalid services be refunded.
Consul General Ratney and Consul Smith refused to take either corrective measures.
Both Consul General Ratney and Consul Smith also refuse to answer whether:
·       Consul Smith is appointed by the US State Department to the US Consulate, Jerusalem, and
·       Consul Smith is credentialed as part of the US diplomatic mission to any nation.
No records have been discovered, showing Consul Smith appointment to the US Consulate in Jerusalem.  The most recent records, which were discovered online, show him appointed to the US diplomatic mission in Lebanon.
The US Consulate, Jerusalem, was moved in recent years to the former no man's land between the former east and west Jerusalem.   The Consulate's seal notes it as the "US Consulate, Jerusalem, Jerusalem."
In a complaint, filed with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr Zernik notes the lawless status of the US Consulate in Jerusalem is likely to be conducive to the lawless conduct of the US consular staff there. 
The conduct of the US Consulate, Jerusalem, in this case is likely to be part of retaliatory measures against a Human Rights activist, who exposed large-scale fraud in the California and US courts electronic record systems. 
Dr Zernik also produced in recent years ample records of ample records of racketeering in Countrywide Financial Corporation and later in Bank of America Corporation including, but not limited to conduct of Brian Moynihan, President, and Sandor Samuels, former Associate General Counsel and President of Bet Tzedek (the Los Angeles "House of Justice"). [4,5]
Human Rights Alert reports of recent years have documented large-scale fraud on the People in the electronic record systems of the California (Sustain), and US (PACER and CM/ECF) courts, and in the booking records of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.   Human Rights Alert also documented the use of such fraudulent record systems for the deprivation of liberty and property with no due process, under the color of law.  Human Rights Alert reports on these matters have been peer-reviewed and accepted by international experts in computer science, criminology, and cyberlaw, and also by the United Nations Human Rights Council. [6]
It is likely that the US government considers that new, fortified consular compound in Jerusalem of similar status to that of the Guantanamo Bay detention center – exempt from any law.   Lawless conduct in an unlawful US diplomatic compound has also been recently reported in Benghazi, Libya.
