Right to Labor
Your Labor – Most Ancient and Sacred
Property Right Upon Which All Other Property Rights
Are Derived From
In his eloquent concurring opinion in Butchers’ Union v. Crescent
city, 111 U.S. 746, 4 S.Ct. 652, 28 L.Ed. 585 (1884), Justice J. Field
writes:
As in our intercourse with our fellow-men certain principles of
morality are assumed to exist, without which society would be
impossible, so certain inherent rights lie at the foundation of all
action, and upon a recognition of them alone can free institutions be
maintained. These inherent rights have never been more happily
expressed than in the declaration of independence, that new evangel of
liberty to the people: 'We hold these truths to be
self-evident'--that is, so plain that their truth is recognized upon
their mere statement--'that all men are endowed'--not by edicts of
emperors, or decrees of parliament, or acts of congress, but 'by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights.' --that is, rights which cannot
be bartered away, or given away, or taken away, except in punishment of
crime --'and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness; and to secure these' --not grant them, but secure them
--'governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed.' Among these inalienable rights, as
proclaimed in that great document, is the right of men to pursue their
happiness, by which is meant the right to pursue any lawful business or
vocation, in any manner not inconsistent with the equal rights of
others, which may increase their prosperity or develop their faculties,
so as to give to them their highest enjoyment. The common business
and callings of life, the ordinary trades and pursuits, which are
innocuous in themselves, and have been followed in all communities from
time immemorial, must therefore be free in this country to all alike
upon the same conditions. The right to pursue them, without let or
hindrance, except that which is applied to all persons of the same age,
sex, and condition, is a distinguishing privilege of citizens of the
United States, and an essential element of that freedom which they claim
as their birthright. It has been well said that 'the property
which every man has in his own labor, as it is the original foundation
of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable. The
patrimony of the poor man lies in the strength and dexterity of his own
hands, and to hinder his employing this strength and dexterity in
what manner he thinks proper, without injury to his neighbor, is a plain
violation of this most sacred property. It is a manifest
encroachment upon the just liberty both of the workman and of those who
might be disposed to employ him. As it hinders the one from
working at what he thinks proper, so it hinders the others from
employing whom they think proper.' Smith, Wealth Nat. bk. 1, c.
10.
So you think you have rights and they’re automatically recognized by
the government, particularly if you hire an attorney -- think again!
Listen to what a judge told a defendant in court “who has rights”
after he had expounded beautifully on the Constitution:
"The privilege against self-incrimination is neither accorded to
the passive resistant, nor the person who is ignorant of his rights, nor
to one indifferent thereto. It is a fighting clause.
Its benefits can be retained only by sustained combat. It
can not be retained by attorney or solicitor. It is valid only
when insisted upon by a belligerent claimant in person."
[emphasis added]
"The one who is persuaded by honeyed words or moral suasion to
testify or produce documents rather than make a last ditch stand, simply
loses the protection. Once he testifies to part, he has waived his
right and must on cross examination or otherwise, testify as to the
whole transaction. He must refuse to answer or produce,
and test the matter in contempt proceedings, or by habeas corpus."
-- United States v. Johnson, 76 F. Supp. 538, 540 (District Court,
M.D. PA. 1947)
Now, when it comes to looking back over your working life, certain
choices were made along the way. Did it ever enter your mind whether
you were exercising God-endowed “Rights” or mere “Privileges”
granted by the government?” Likely not, as most of us were
deliberately “dumbed down” in the free government school systems to
not know the difference. And as the years slipped away, the
Christian religion was replaced with the religion of “Humanism” in the
schools, thanks to people of the likes of John Dewey and Corliss Lamont,
professional atheists. Along with the rise of Humanism came state
idolatry with the wasting away of rugged individualism this nation was
founded by, characterized with their morality, honesty, integrity and
trustworthiness. Their word was their bond.
There once was a time in our country when men believed that the only
moral way to acquire property was by the “sweat of their brow,” their
labor. But all through history have been those who disavowed God’s
Law, “them what don’t work don’t eat” and chose to live their
lives at others’ expense, by deceit, semantic sophistry and outright
fraud. It was this very class of parasites that Jesus threw out of
the Temple, the money-changers [bankers] along with their ruthless
swat-team [lawyers].
Your Labor is The Right to Preservation of Your Life
"As reason tells us, all are born thus naturally equal, with an
equal right to their persons, so also with an equal right to their
preservation . . .and every man having a property in his own person, the
labour of his body and the work of his hands are properly his own, to
which no one has right but himself; it will therefore follow that when
he removes anything out of the state that nature has provided and left
it in, he has mixed his labour with it, and joined something to it that
is his own, and thereby makes it his property. . . . Thus every man
having a natural right to (or being proprietor of) his own person and
his own actions and labour, which we call property, it certainly
follows, that no man can have a right to the person or property of
another: And if every man has a right to his person and property; he has
also a right to defend them . . . and so has a right of punishing all
insults upon his person and property." Rev. Elisha Williams (1744)
Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 (1906) . Defined the distinction between
natural persons and corporations as it pertains to 5th Amendment
protections within the U.S. Constitution.
"...we are of the opinion that there is a clear distinction in
this particular between an individual and a corporation, and that the
latter has no right to refuse to submit its books and papers for an
examination at the suit of the state. The individual may stand
upon his constitutional rights as a citizen. He is entitled to
carry on his private business in his own way. His power to
contract is unlimited. He owes no duty to the state or to his
neighbors to divulge his business, or to open his doors to an
investigation, so far as it may tend to criminate him. He owes no
such duty to the state, since he receives nothing therefrom, beyond the
protection of his life and property. His rights are such as
existed by the law of the land long antecedent to the organization of
the state, and can only be taken from him by due process of law, and in
accordance with the Constitution. Among his rights are a
refusal to incriminate himself, and the immunity of himself and his
property from arrest or seizure except under a warrant of the law.
He owes nothing to the public so long as he does not trespass upon
their rights." [emphasis added]
How is it possible for one to claim to be free and independent and then
work half the year for the state to pay a tax they likely don’t
owe? It’s called voluntary servitude [to the state]. It has to be
voluntary because involuntary servitude is constitutionally and
statutorily prohibited. Make your own informed determination then
whether or not to Reclaim your American Birthright or continue acting as a
practicing socialist.
Have you read the Communist Manifesto by Carl Marx [1848]?
Read it! And then read The Law by Frederick Bastiat [1850] as
the best rebuttal to Marxism. The U.S. Congress passed into law two
of the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto in 1913. The
other eight planks were passed into law in the succeeding few decades.
These are not my opinions but well documented Facts!
And Americans have lived under War and Emergency Powers since the
Bankruptcy declared on March 9, 1933, their lawful money [gold]
confiscated and made serfs on the land their ancestors had fought and died
for to be truly free. Most Americans have not only volunteered into
bondage to the state but volunteered into bondage to the bankers paying
many hours of their labor as tribute to the usury on money[sic] created
out of thin air. It is a mathematical impossibility to pay off the
national debt, public and private, due to the very nature of the European
fractional reserve banking system the House of Rothschild brought to
America so long ago.
By doing your own research and applying objective critical analysis you
can discover the Truth and make it your own and not ever have to rely on
anyone else’s uninformed opinions, deceit and lies, particularly
politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers, government paid historians and their
publishers, and the so-called mainstream controlled media.
A quote from Sun Tzu – The Art of War: Know Yourself, Know the
Enemy, Take the Moral High Ground. Choose your battles wisely.
Remember – Law is a Weapon and Words are its Ammunition. If one
doesn’t know the legal definition of common words one might as well be
reading Chinese as far as comprehension is concerned.
