Jury Nullification - A Power of the People

In the US last month, a judge ruled that Jury Nullification, a jurys ability to over-rule the law, was still lawful and very much in effect.

This follows a case in which 80 year old Julian Heicklin, was arrested by FBI agents for passing out pamphlets which informed jurors of their right to nullify a case if they thought the law being applied was unfit or unjust.

The prosecution had accused Mr Heicklyn, who was handing out the pamphlets for an organisation known as the 'Fully Informed Jury Association', of trying to influence jurors through written communication.

Judge, Jury & Executioner

In 1748, French political thinker, Montesquieu, identified in De l’esprit des lois the three branches of government between which power should be allocated and separated: the executive which takes action to implement the law, defend the nation, conduct foreign affairs and administer internal policies; the legislative which makes law, and the judiciary which applies the law to determine disputes and punish criminals. According to the doctrine the executive cannot make law. Neither can the legislative determine disputes or any of the branches exercise the power of the other.

Drive For WWIII Continues

The British led drive for war with Russia, using an attack on Iran as the touch paper, continues with William Hague taking point. 

Referring to the EU imposition of an oil and precious metals trading embargo on Iran, announced on the 23rd January, Hague said, “the U.K. has been looking for an unprecedented set of sanctions and that is what we have agreed … This shows the resolve of the European Union on this issue. It is absolutely right to do this when Iran is continuing to breach United Nations resolutions and refusing to come to meaningful negotiations on its nuclear program, The EU is taking a very strong lead in world affairs and we strongly welcome this.”

Robert Green Convicted In Court With No Jury

On Tuesday, 24th January in Stonehaven Court, Scotland, Robert Green was found guilty of Breach of the Peace, and breaking some of his bail conditions. Three other charges were dropped. 

Barely reported in the mainstream press, this man has been found guilty of ‘crimes’ for daring to expose the facts concerning the rape and abuse of Hollie Greig at the hands of senior members of the Scottish establishment. Even before the latest 6 day hearing, the Scottish ‘justice’ system had spent over £500,000 trying to shut Robert up.

CFR Member: 200 Million Casualties If Israel Attacks Iran

Netanyahu is determined to be Israel's last Prime Minister, according to W. Scott Thompson, former Assistant to the Secretary of Defence during the Reagan years, current CFR and International Institute of Strategic Studies member.

Writing in Burma's New Strait Times, Thompson discusses the prospects of "freedom" for nations around the world. He argues that while there are still many countries around the world which are not yet "free", the trend is very much for "freedom" in this "partially gloablised world", and that should offer "hope". For W.

Constitutional Convention - To Reassert Our Constitution

22nd October 2011 - Kings Hall Stoke On Trent
5th November 2011 - Friends House, London

A constitution is a vital part of any country's system of government. It provides the rules by which the people agree to be governed. It is a contract, the terms and conditions under which those elected must govern, be they a monarch, president or parliament.

The people as a collective are the ultimate supremacy. Once accomplished, a constitution cannot be changed without the express will of the people  -for to do so would be a violation of contract and would negate the authority of those in breech.

Britain Has A Constitution

Britain has a constitution of considerable standing, the foundations of which were established almost 800 years ago with the signing of Magna Carta in 1215, and reasserted 322 years go with the Declaration of Right and Bill of Rights in 1688.

The Franco British Council Plan To Destroy Britain’s Military Capability

We are to be stripped of the military power to act alone, our military command and control structures are to be weakened and confused by French ‘collaboration’ and ‘partnering’, and we are to be stripped of nuclear weapons. The security of Britain is being destroyed under the cloak of Cameron’s Franco British Defence Treaty.

Council Tax & Lawful Rebellion

For those who wonder what they can do as individuals to resist encroachment on their common law rights, withholding Council Tax (CT) is a lawful option. It is also, as I will show below, a legal obligation. I would not wish to encourage anyone to cause problems for the state without justification. The Powers That Be, for reasons which we can only speculate about, repealed the statutory offence of sedition early in 2010 so perhaps I can speak freely.

A bit of background first. For those of us who are old enough to remember Mrs Thatcher (who was Prime Minister in the late 1980’s) will know that she had a bit of a problem with a Poll Tax which was levied on all adults to fund local authorities. This did not go down well and resulted in one of the biggest incidents of disorder in central London for many years. It was not officially a riot. The Metropolitan Police never admit that a riot has occurred because they will be financially liable, by the way.

One World Governance - A Common Purpose?

There can be little doubt which word won the prize for most important adjective in 2009. This was the year in which "global" swept the rest of the political lexicon into obscurity. There were "global crises" and "global challenges", the only possible resolution to which lay in "global solutions" necessitating "global agreements".

[Would these global agreements] sweep away any consideration of what was once assumed to be the most basic principle of modern democracy: that elected national governments are responsible to their own people – that the right to govern derives from the consent of the electorate.

There'll be nowhere to run from the new world government

The Fundamental Principles Of Our Constitution

The Ministry of Justice has this to say about the Constitution -

The British Constitution is not, as it is in many countries, a ‘written constitution’. It is not codified in a single document but is made up of a complex web of statutes, conventions, and a corpus of common and other law. It is also informed by an interweaving of history and more modern democratic principles. The legal premise of the United Kingdom constitution - that the UK parliament is sovereign - is a fundamental part of our constitutional arrangements. This means that an Act of Parliament must be obeyed by the courts, that later acts prevail over earlier ones, and that the rules made by external bodies cannot override Acts of Parliament. The Bill of Rights 1689 and Magna Carta are important elements of our constitution. Magna Carta is Primary legislation and has the same status as any other legislation and is not immune from repeal or amendment. The same applies to the Bill of Rights which was an ordinary Act of Parliament passed in the ordinary way.

What a pack of lies.

The first lie, forever repeated and unqualified in the media, comes in the first sentence, constantly rolled out to reinforce the idea among the inhabitants of this country that we have no Constitution. The second lie, that the UK Parliament is sovereign - there is no such premise of the Constitution. The third, that rules made by external bodies cannot override Acts of Parliament, when in fact more and more rules today come from the EU directly into the so-called third sector, bypassing Parliament altogether.

These Are The Issues On The Agenda

Who could have missed the MPs expenses "scandal." Anyone who believes that the details of MPs receipts were leaked to the Telegraph by a someone with any sense of duty is nuts. This is classic "problem-reaction-solution." The problem of corruption within Parliament has been clear for years, the reaction systematically exaggerated by every single news bulletin for the last month. So it was only a matter of time before the "solution" would be out in the open.

That solution was announced on Sunday's interview with Gordon Brown on the Andrew Marr Show, on BBC1. Brown made it absolutely clear that the target is the British Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights.
