When two 9th Circuit judges closed the Headgates in Klamath Falls, Oregon in 2001, they violated the Constitution to the point of treason.

The facts are simple and final:

• The Constitution of the United States is a limiting document that prohibits the federal government from dealing with farms and farm water.
• Treaties can NOT alter or sidestep the Constitution.
• These facts are so basic that jurisdictional arguments have no standing in this issue.
• To argue these basic facts is to violate the Constitution.

Therefore:

• Federal agencies and laws that deal with land control are unconstitutional.
• Lawsuits based on unconstitutional agencies and laws have no standing.
• To allow the federal government to negotiate in these matters is to violate the Constitution.
• To allow the federal government to negotiate in these matters is to lose. That would concede to our public servants license to violate the Constitution, an impropriety far too advanced at present.
• Federal agents must be removed from land and water control not expressed in the Constitution.
• Water runs with the land, a vital concept dating to the birth of our nation.

Winning action dictates:

• Offending judges and agents must be prosecuted for their blatant disregard of the Constitution.
• Plaintiffs with no standing must be held liable.
• Judges and plaintiffs could have known and should have known.
• Farmers and small land owners must be compensated for damages.

The above reasoning applies to state laws and agencies that are based in any way upon unconstitutional federal agencies or laws. They are without power to enforce and states must be held liable.

Following the implementation of this stand, the same action must taken nationally in an effort to save our Constitutional Republic from total destruction.

It is a national disaster that very few attorneys comprehend the Constitution and the basic stand taken by this thesis.

In the overall scenario we see unconstitutional acts being done using public tax dollars.

In the total picture emerges a gnawing question: Why? And who?

This disastrous chain of events must be stopped. The first road block could be placed in the Klamath Basin. In fact, it is highly probable that so go the the farmers in the Klamath Basin, so goes America. This is not a fight to lose.

On the shoulders of those two 9th Circuit judges rests the future of America. But instead of honoring their Oath of Office and upholding and defending our Constitution, they have perilously violated both. This thesis is offered as a guide to correcting the situation.

We are losing our country -- our Constitutional Republic. Analysis of the relentless action by selfish interests reveals an organized movement toward tyranny.

Because of its importance to this situation and the possibility to expose and correct government fraud, the Klamath Basis Crisis was selected. This crisis was created when federal agents closed the Headgates that control the irrigation water vital to the farmers in the Klamath Basin in southern Oregon and northern California.

An important point should be emphasized here: We, the people, are the government. We have lost when we refer to government as an entity apart from us. It is the plan of totalitarians to separate the subjects from government. We ARE the government in this Constitutional Republic, and we must bear that fact in mind constantly. For brevity and convenience, in this thesis government refers to our public servants that running our government for us.

Few people understand the true meaning and power of the Constitution of the United States as the Law of the Land. It is the intent of this thesis:

1. to point out the true meaning of the Constitution.

2. to trace the origin to the Founding Fathers who wrote it.

3. to place this constitutional authority into today's perspective.

4. to list practical and legal remedies applicable to the farmers in America and in the Klamath Basin in particular.

Unfortunately, in this age in which we live, it is almost impossible for a patriot to earn a living while dedicating sufficient time for research to expose the rampant fraud and corruption at the national level. But I am trying. My personal goal is to save our Constitutional Republic for my issue -- my children and grandchildren. It is all I have left to give them.

It is to its everlasting credit that the Constitution of the United States remains intact, a beacon to guide this research that will lead to our survival and victory. Though tattered and torn by the blatant disregard of our public servants, weakened by the 16th and 17th amendments, and vandalized by the unconstitutional IRS, our Constitution remains etched in stone.

It will forever be a disgrace to our heritage that our public servants do not read stone.

After a brief discussion of the problem and definitions, the violations of our Constitution and pertinent laws are reviewed. The most valuable sources are the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, the cases of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the Fiedor Report On the News.

This thesis is complete with summary, conclusion, bibliography and documentation.

This study is limited to the analysis of cases and actions leading to the resurrection of the Constitution of the United States as the respected Law of the Land and the limiting of the central government to the size envisioned by our Founding Fathers. In addition, the practical application of these reforms is outlined so people can act to attain these ends. 

American ConRep - American Constitutional Republic. Same as ConRep.

US ConRep - United States Constitutional Republic. Same as ConRep.

ConRep - Constitutional Republic as defined in the U.S. Constitution. (See Federal Government, below, and Statement of the Problem in the Documentation.)

ConRepism - following the U.S. Constitution which is respected as the law of the land, especially in our court system and federal government. (Term invented by Forest.) The Rule of Law as defined by Hayek is respected and observed.

ConRepist - one who adheres to ConRepism. (Not to be confused with ConRapist, which refers to Clinton.)

C2G - Clinton, Clinton and Gore

Federal government - that government defined by our United States Constitution: a Constitutional Republic. In this thesis, it is understood that we, the people, are that government. The people operating our federal government for us are collectively referred to as the federal government for convenience and simplification.

Democracy - The United States was NOT intended to be a democracy. Democracy feeds on itself, destroys itself and degrades into totalitarianism, followed by dictatorship. Democracy is defined as government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives. Note the absence of a constitution to protect the individual. (This concept is expanded in the Documentation.)

Fascism - a dictatorship similar to Communism. A major difference is that people hold title to property under Fascist rule, whereas they do not under Communism. Hitler's 3rd Reich was Fascist.

FEMA - Federal Emergency Management Agency. Created to control America in case of disaster or civil uprising. FEMA will be automatically turned on with two magic words uttered by the president: national emergency. Operating at the president's beck and call, FEMA will control everything. We may be under national emergency at this time, continuously since FDR.

Federalist Papers - “The Federalist Papers were written and published during the years 1787 and 1788 in several New York State newspapers to persuade New York voters to ratify the proposed constitution.” Written by three of our Founding Fathers, the Federalist Papers have been cited by the Supreme Court as a definitive document of the Constitution of the United States.

Treaty - Agreement with other nations that generates international law that supersedes the U.S. law but not the U.S. Constitution. Congress has been generating power beyond that authorized by the U.S. Constitution by abuse of the treaty mechanism. The United Nations charter is a treaty. This is ominous.

Laws - laws, rules and regulations that have the force and effect of law.

EO - executive order issued by the president or governor.

EL - Executive Law; made by the President; most probably NOT Constitutional; includes all ELs that Congress allows to become law after 30 days of Congressional inaction; includes Executive Orders (EO), Presidential Decision Directives (PDD), National Security Directives (NSD), National Security Decision Directives (NSDD), Presidential Proclamations (PP) and all such items. The ELs under discussion are those not authorized by the Constitution. CO6, below, discusses this item further. (The term EL was invented by Forest.) 

Rule of Law - “Stripped of all technicalities, this means that government in all its actions is bound by rules fixed and announced beforehand -- rules which make it possible to foresee with fair certainty how the authority will use its coercive powers in given circumstances and to plan one's individual affairs on the basis of this knowledge.”(Hayek, Road to Serfdom, p 80) (State of the Union 1998) (Fiedor Reports #76, 78, 98 and 113) Note that the Rule of Law is a concept, not a law. It is, to a degree, understood in the Constitution of the United States. The Rule of Law is the concept by which we are to obey our documented system of government as indicated by the Constitution of the United States and the resultant law. So, to say we follow the Rule of Law is to say that we follow the Constitution.

UN - United Nations. The UN is listing much of the U.S. as Heritage Sites, etc. Why? The United Nations Charter is a treaty. This is dangerous.

AHRI - American Heritage Rivers Initiative. An agreement, possibly unconstitutional, that gives control of many of our rivers to the federal government and possibly to the UN. Will this control our drinking and food growing water? See the Controls List for more on this subject.

Biosphere - a control mechanism of the U.S., the UN, and the UN's UNESCO Man and Biosphere Program (MAB); “Biosphere Reserves are areas of terrestrial and coastal ecosystems which are internationally recognized within the framework of UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme. Collectively, they constitute a World Network.” <http://www.unesco.org/mab/brfaq.htm>. The MAB and biosphere program were defunded by Congress, but still get funds through misappropriation. Since they are part of the UN, it is possible treaty law is being used here to dodge around the Constitution.

NSC - Nation Safety Council, an NGO.

NGO - non-governmental organization, possibly carrying out fraud and power grabs.

World Court, International Court of Justice (ICJ) - the UN court that the UN demands supersede all US courts.

Posse Comitatus - The use of United States military forces against American citizens. Federal law prohibits such action. It would seem that the Posse Comitatus Law would include all of the myriad of federal agencies and their enforcers, regardless of name, that are used to control American citizens, especially if the infractions concern unconstitutional laws and/or agencies. Clinton may have created a federal agency with the purpose of avoiding the posse comitatus law, but I can find nothing on it, not surprisingly. Bush has negated few, if any, of Clinton's creations (as of 4-15-03.)

Lies - see disinformation, noninformation, obfuscation, spin, hired liars

Disinformation - lies; intentional mistruth

Misinformation - mistakes; lies

Noninformation - distractions; secrecy

More discussion is at <http://www.uhuh.com/defs.htm>

FDR - President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

IBLs -International Bank Lords who own the international banks and hold the world by its economic throat. Fomerly BBLs was used, referring to the Billionaire Bank Lords.

USFS - United States Forest Service

EPA - Environmental Protection Agency

ESA - Endangered Species Act, the mutant child of the EPA.

OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration

1. The Constitution of the United States is at the top of the supreme law of the land.

2. Only amendments can alter the Constitution. Treaties definitely can not.

3. No one is above the Constitution, not even the President. (Stated in the Clinton impeachment hearings.)

4. The Constitution of the United States protects freedoms of individuals, not just groups.

5. The Rule of Law demands adherence to and respect of the Constitution.

6. All laws contradicting the Constitution are unconstitutional, null, void and unenforceable.

7. The Constitution is the job description for the federal government employees, from the President on down.

8.The Constitution is a limiting document. The Constitution tells the federal government what it CAN do, not what it can not. However, what the Constitution does NOT authorize the federal government to do, the federal government is NOT authorized to do. 95% of Congress and the White House should be in prison for violating that Constitutional law.

9.The U.S. Supreme Court has cited the Federalist Papers as an authoritative and definitive document for the U.S. Constitution and frequently cites it.

10. The Supreme Law of the Land consists of that trilogy known as the Constitution of the United States, the Federalist Papers and the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Federalist Papers state and/or imply that

• The Constitution is, in itself, a Bill of Rights.
• The Constitution is a limiting document.
• The federal government is limited by the Constitution of the United States.
• No laws contrary to the Constitution are valid. This includes treaties.
• Laws must be simple for comprehension by the people.
• The Constitution limits ownership and/or control of land and water by the federal government.
• The people have the unalienable right to bear arms, reiterated by the 2nd Amendment. No government at any level, from federal down to city, can take this right from the people.
• The people have the unalienable right to demand that a warrant be presented prior to search and arrest, reiterated by the 4th Amendment, which defines the content and use of warrants. In common practice a warrant is required for entry into a building, but not necessarily for individuals. The interpretation of the 4th Amendment is deteriorating.
• Unfortunately, Congress and the President are altering the Founding Father's intent through the treaty mechanism. The people must rise and stop this errant behavior.

Therefore:

• The Constitution is the job description for the federal government and, of course, those operating it.
• If it is not authorized by the Constitution, the federal government can not legally do it.
• Agencies, etc. not authorized by the American Constitution are unconstitutional, illegal, void and without force.
• Many of these agencies have violated the Constitution and therefore must be negated, regardless of what treaty law might say. The Constitution can not be negated or altered by treaties, etc.

The following are probable unconstitutional federal agencies, etc. (including but not limited to):

• EPA and its endangered species laws, rules and regulations
• Water control projects not within the commercial clause
• National parks, monuments, forests, etc. Only the Capitol, forts, post roads, etc. are permitted.
• OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• IRS - unconstitutional; possesses no legal right to enforce.
• NSC - Nation Safety Council, an NGO (non-governmental organization)
• United Nations and all its claim to land and control within U.S. boundaries and on U.S. citizens.
• Gun laws. The Constitution does not authorize the federal government to control our guns. The Federalist Papers instruct us to keep arms for defense against an errant government and to protect life, liberty and property. We are expected to bear arms. The Federalist Papers were written to explain the Constitution and are therefore paramount in the interpretation of the Constitution. Therefore, all treaty laws and treaty based laws concerning our guns are unconstitutional.
• Land Ownership. The Constitution limits the federal government land ownership to the Capitol, forts, postal roads, etc. Ownership of parks, forests and water is unconstitutional. The control combination of EPA, water and land is outrageously unconstitutional. This provision negates many of the above agencies.
• There are about 112 questionable federal agencies.

Only Congress can legally make laws and declare war.

Presidential ELs, other than those needed to operate the Executive Branch and the government as authorized by the Constitution and Congress, are unconstitutional, illegal, void and without force.

Judicial decisions that do not follow constitutional mandates and/or create new law are unconstitutional, illegal, void and without force. Judges are to judge, not legislate.

Only the Senate can ratify treaties. Without a constitutionally correct treaty, no one can give any power whatsoever to the United Nations (UN), not even the president.

Only the Senate can ratify treaties. Without a constitutionally correct treaty, no one can give any power whatsoever to the United Nations (UN), not even the president. Various devices are in use to avoid constitutional mandates. These include:

• Executive Agreements - President concludes obligations; not all are published, citing national security. Executive Agreements are not law under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, but do have status in domestic law. There were about 10,000 with NATO.
• Multilateral Trade Agreements - gives authorization power to the President. GATT is an example.
• Fast Track - created by GATT, uses a time table to eliminate congressional debate.
• International Organizations - treaty making power through congressional-executive cooperation using resolutions.
• Resolutions - agreement by joining international organizations.
• Protocol - marks a stage in negotiation of a treaty.
• Modus Vivendi - temporary substitute for a protocol.
• Litvinov Agreement - nearly replaced treaty power.
• Declaration of Policy - obligation assumed by the President and the State Department.
• Gentleman's Agreement - obligation assumed by the President and the State Department.
• For further discussion, see “Constitution Trumps Treaties” later in this thesis.

Regrettably, Congress and the President are using the treaty mechanism to override Constitutional limitations. This is causing a great deal of uncertainty in the lives of Americans. It also seems to be nullifying the rule of law. The most serious threat is the UN Charter, which is a treaty.

But shining bright through all this graft, the Constitution remains intact. Only amendments can alter the Constitution. Treaties, the President and agencies can not. The people must stand and keep it that way.

In 2001, in violation of the Constitution of United States, and responding to false data, the federal government closed the Headgates controlling irrigation water to nearly 1500 farmers in the Klamath Basin. Soon about 1200 of those farmers were in financial peril. The farmers showed their objection by setting up a camp at the Headgates, attracting national attention. Armed federal agents were dispatched to the scene. Twice the farmers opened the gates. When federal agents closed the gates for the last time, five armed agents stood in front in ready to draw stance. That was an “in-your-face” statement aimed at the farmers. That was an unconstitutional armed assault by unconstitutional agents unconstitutionally occupying private land. That was tantamount to a police state. This old army veteran was there and witnessed the event, pointing out the stance to the media.

Those offensive actions by the federal government have prompted the inclusion of a discussion of the 2nd Amendment in this thesis. Our Founding Fathers expected us to keep guns to protect life, liberty and property, and to keep an errant government in check. Page after page in the Federalist Papers discuss this concept.

The Constitution of the United States guarantees our right to bear arms -- that is, to own guns, and to use them to defend against an errant government and for protection of life, liberty and property. The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States merely iterates that right. This is extremely important to know in this day and age of federal government control far and beyond the limitations set forth in the United States Constitution. This could easily be viewed as a gross misuse of the treaty mechanism, for treaties are meant to be used between countries, not within our country to alter our Constitution. Background for this concept will be found in the Federalist Papers in many places.

No where in the Constitution are Congress and the President granted authority to regulate our gun ownership, yet they are doing just that. Perhaps those living off our taxes do not trust the tax payers with guns. Has the servant become the master?

It is entirely possible that the only rights that really remain are two: speech and guns. Here in California, those two are gravely curtailed. The laws of hate crimes and the demands of political correctness are destroying our schools, our families and our society, thus curtailing free speech. Getting a gun to the shooting range is almost a risky business. Carrying a gun for self defense is so curtailed as to be practically useless. You will probably be laughed at if you apply for a CCW - a concealed carry weapon permit.

It is highly probable that our less than devoted leaders in Washington, DC will not remove our freedom of speech before they remove our guns. The private gun owners in America constitute one of the largest and best equipped armed forces in the world. For the sake of their families and their country, they are well advised to keep it that way. The very fact that the people are armed is sufficient reason for our “fearless” elected public servants to fear us. Then, and probably only then, will they legislate to our benefit rather than theirs. The Federalist Papers allocate much space to this issue.

Consequently, it is drastically urgent that all people remain cognizant of their rights and liberties while they can still do something about defending them.

The abundant documentation below will speak for itself.

Another frequent violation of our Constitutional rights is the blatant disregard of our rights concerning searches, seizures and arrests, reiterated in the 4th Amendment. Unreasonable breaking, entering, arresting, and confiscating property are considered constitutionally illegal unless proceeded by an affidavit sworn before a judge who then must issue the warrant. The 6 H's -- who, what, when, where, why and how come -- must be written on the warrant. The Federalist Papers and the 4th Amendment to the Constitution are very clear on this subject. No one legally can, except for certain circumstances, break, enter, arrest you or take your property without such a warrant. This certainly applies to federal officers, regardless of whom gives them orders.

However, the law varies in use. The word “unreasonable” is important here. In common practice a warrant is generally required for entry into a building, but not necessarily for individuals. The interpretation of the 4th Amendment is deteriorating. A recent Supreme Court decision has ruled that instruments that see through walls require a warrant. Your local judge interprets the law. Let us hope that the judge knows the difference between local and federal officers, regardless of the influence.

Road blocks are also unconstitutional. We don't need any Check Point Charlies over here. Also illegal is posse comitatus - the use of United States military forces against United States civilians. That is not why we pay our federal taxes.

Another severe and unconstitutional liability on the farmers is the IRS. Congress and the President have created that cumbersome giant for the most probable reason to acquire funds for their ways of helping people by helping them out of their money. History has shown that this procedure leads to ultimate control and totalitarianism.

But why they are so hard on the farmers leads one to conclude that our “devoted” leaders wish to bankrupt our farmers and place America at the mercy of the 3rd world nations for food. Why else would Washington, DC create GATT and NAFTA and tax American farmers more than farmers in any other industrialized nation? Our food producers adhere to strict controls when using pesticides, fertilizers and labor. Yet food is being imported that has been grown with none of these controls with the consequence that we do not know what we are eating, while American farmers are going broke.

The obvious solution is to negate the IRS. The tax will not be needed if our federal government is trimmed back to the intent of our Founding Fathers.

Detailed discussion will be found in Money Is Unreal: Blowing the Whistle on the Federal Reserve System.

Under normal circumstances as planned by our Founding fathers, county sheriffs have power over federal agents where the federal government is limited by the U.S. Constitution. County sheriffs have the power and responsibility to stop within their borders those federal agents overstepping their bounds. The limiting power of the U.S. Constitution, reiterated by its inherent 9th and 10th Amendments, come into play here. But with the upsetting use of the treaty mechanism, our American way of life is changing toward a Fascist government. Recent Supreme Court cases are reversing this trend, however.

The oaths of office mandated by the United States Constitution and the Constitutions of the several States are within this issue. Of interest is the lack of a time limit on oaths. Those oaths sworn by officers in the United States military service are probably still in force. Likewise for all other public offices.

Sheriffs are also responsible for the Onus of Enforcement discussed in this thesis.

Sheriffs must NOT cooperate with federal agents agents in unconstitutional acts.

Sheriffs must stop, in their county, federal agents who attempt to commit unconstitutional acts.

Sheriff Mattis of Big Horn County, Wyoming set a national precedent. A court case was involved After studying the U.S. Constitution, he concluded that he was responsible for legal action concerning citizens within his county. He therefore required all federal agents to obtain clearance from his office before proceeding in his county. Federal agents had not argued as of the last time Forest talked to Sheriff Mattis.

This same precedent carries over to county courts, logical reasoning would conclude. The 9th and 10th Amendments must be addressed and followed. The story and documentation are at <http://www.uhuh.com/action/sheriff/list-shf.htm>.

Interested sheriffs are encouraged to contact Sheriff Mattis. He will talk to other sheriffs, but prefers not to become embroiled in events with the media. See the above url for contact information.

Gun Owners of America has also published an article on this same subject at http://www.gunowners.org/op0021.htm .

Much information on the gun subject will be found at http://www.uhuh.com/guns/list-gun.htm.

Another very important Supreme Court case on this subject is PRINTZ, SHERIFF/CORONER, RAVALLI COUNTY, MONTANA v. UNITED STATES <http://laws.findlaw.com/us/000/95-1478.html> Some people call this case the Mack case. Jay Printz was sheriff of Ravalli County, Montana, and Richard Mack was sheriff of Graham County, Arizona. Both sheriffs claimed that the Brady Law was unconstitutional and both sheriffs suffered at the polls. Honesty is indeed expensive. We may be under national emergency at this time, continuously since FDR.

Of interest here is the threatening move by the federal government to take control of all police and sheriff forces. National emergency laws are on the books to accomplish this feat quickly. It does require the president to declare a national emergency, two magic words, thus putting FEMA in charge of everything and answering to the president. But martial law is unconstitutional. This quickly becomes a serious discussion that should be hot on the lips of every patriotic American.

All American citizens, certainly elected officials and peace officers, are required by patriotic duty and federal law to report violations of law.

Those allowing violations are most probably guilty of violating

1. Oath of Office.

2. Rule of Law.

3. Color of Law.

4. Misprision of Felony law.

5. Accessory After the Fact law.

6. Posse Comitatus law if the military is involved.

All of these laws, with the possible exception of oath of office, could be overpowered by a national emergency or international law derived from treaties. This is a serious dilemma.

1. Oath of Office requires swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, and to their state constitution for other than federal officials. All federal and most state and local elected officials must swear to such an oath. If there is no time limit on their oath, it may be forever.

2. Rule of Law. “Stripped of all technicalities, this means that government in all its actions is bound by rules fixed and announced beforehand -- rules which make it possible to foresee with fair certainty how the authority will use its coercive powers in given circumstances and to plan one's individual affairs on the basis of this knowledge.” (Rule of Law is a concept, not a law.)

3. Color of Law refers to using a law illegally. 18 USC 242 makes it illegal for a government official to deprive rights under color of law: "Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, . . . shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both." (Fiedor Report #83, 84 and 86)

4. Misprision of Felony. 18 USC 4 makes illegal the misprision of felony. This law states: "Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both." (See Fiedor Report #86 for most of these laws.)

5. Accessory After the Fact. 18 USC 3 makes Accessory after the fact a felony: "Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact."

6. Posse Comitatus law states that U.S. military forces may not be used against American civilians. People should be watching action by Congress on this one. The trend is ominous.

Most of these laws are covered in Fiedor Report #86. <http://www.uhuh.com/reports/headsup/hu86.htm#CrimesAgainstThePeople,86>

Also see “PROTECTING OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS” (Fiedor Report On the News #243), a monument to trimming down excessive government. <http://www.uhuh.com/reports/headsup/fron243.htm>

To enable citizens to prosecute wayward politicians and federal agents, the following laws have been enacted. Congress passed them and the President signed them, so they must have been intended to be used:

2 USC 441e prohibits election donations by foreigners.

2 USC 441f prohibits donations in another person's name.

5 USC 706 encourages citizens to take overbearing federal regulatory agents and bureaucrats to court. See “Protecting Our Property Rights” near the end of this thesis for documentation and further discussion.

18 USC 201(c)(2) prohibits purchased testimony.

18 USC 219 prohibits American public servants from being foreign agents.

18 USC 241 bars conspiracy against rights. See “Protecting Our Property Rights” near the end of this thesis for documentation and further discussion.

18 USC 242 deals with deprivation of rights under color of law. See “Protecting Our Property Rights” near the end of this thesis for documentation and further discussion.

18 USC 600 prohibits rewards to political candidates.

18 USC 602 prohibits federal employee from receiving political donations from federal employees.

18 USC 603 prohibits political donations by federal employees.

18 USC 607 prohibits receiving election donations on federal property.

18 USC 1001 makes lying a crime. Includes fraudulent statements or representations.

18 USC 1510 prohibits obstruction of communication of information by bribery.

18 USC 1956 prohibits financial transactions for illegal activities.

Those allowing violations to continue without objection “"could have known and should have known".

The precedent for this case dates all the way back to Abraham Lincoln: “Government possessing the power to create and issue currency and credit as money and enjoying the right to withdraw both currency and credit from circulation by taxation and otherwise, need not and should not (2) borrow capital at interest as the means of financing governmental work and public enterprise.”

"need not and should not". Note this early use of the precedent "could have known and should have known", ruled in the case of Lashley v. Koerber, California, 1945. In this 1945 case, the appellant court held a physician liable because he could have known and should have known. It was summarized that a physician could be expected to exercise a "... reasonable degree of skill and learning and care ordinarily exercised by other doctors of good standing in the community ... ." Considered was the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur (the thing speaks for itself), where the plaintiff does not cause the problem, and the defendant is assumed guilty if defendant knowingly allowed or caused the harm to happen, or was negligent in preventing that harm when defendant should have and could have prevented it.

Forest Glen Durland insists that this precedent implies and applies to all people licensed by the public to be trusted by that public to perform in a capacity demanded of their profession. This precedent, then, reaches out to all professionals licensed by the public. Furthermore, those licenses are for the protection of that public. Forest Glen Durland insists that all professional people, bankers, real estate agents, car salesmen and certainly all government workers (politicians, Congress Persons), especially those elected to offices of trust and power, are affected by that court ruling, which must be considered a precedent of the land.

All elected officials, certainly, could have known and should have known, or they could have not been and should not be there.

Most certainly Congress and the President could have and should have known what they were doing to our Constitutional Republic and our American way of life when they created the current mess of treaties that enable them to dodge around the limits of the Constitution.

The federal government (i.e., the people operating our government) was placed on notice in April, 1998 by CO2 (updated to CO6). This included Congress with its Senators and Representatives from the several states, as well as our top judges.

The notices were sent by certified mail, return receipt. The return receipts are on file in a secure location.

CO2 listed violations by the federal government and the responsibility of federal employees operating our federal government, especially elected ones, to recognize and correct violations.

The laws backing this responsibility were outlined.

Of serious consideration here is the fact that CO2 identified the unseen enemy, bringing treason to reason. Judges openly and carelessly violating the Constitution are advised to please be advised.

Even without this notice, they have no excuse. After all, federal lawmakers can certainly be expected to know the Constitution of the United States, its pertinent laws and court cases, and the Federalist Papers. And many, if not most, of them are lawyers. They have no excuse not to know or not to have known.

The Constitution of the United States, and hence, our Constitutional Republic, is literally being dismantled and destroyed. President Hoover set a precedent of establishing law through the use of executive orders (EOs). Building on that unconstitutional precedent, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) did more to destroy our Constitutional Republic than anyone before or since. Yet a new level was reached under the devastating reign of Clinton, Clinton and Gore (C2G). (Hillary Clinton was our First Lady, our unconstitutional first Co-President and our First Lesbian. C2G stained our White House.) By ratifying treaties, Congress is giving itself power through international law that is not authorized by the Constitution. In this manner the treaty power mechanism of the Constitution is being used to avoid the Constitution. This destructive progress must be reversed and eliminated. FDR also put the nation on national emergency status (NES), thus increasing his executive power. Apparently those in the White House and Congress like that power, because we have been under NES almost continuously ever since.

Few in Congress seem to even care about our Constitution these days. Big government is steadily controlling more and more of people's lives to the detriment of all Americans. Liberties are being dispensed with. For example, literally devastated are the lives and ways of life of the farmers in the Klamath Falls area in Oregon and California, and the small land owners in the Washington State. Few people understand their rights in our Constitutional Republic or how to defend them. Most attorneys know less, a national tragedy.

 In the smaller picture we find the farmers in the Klamath Basin being forced out of business by unconstitutional acts of the federal government. In the larger picture, we see this action nationally in a magnitude that indicates an organized dismantling of our agricultural industry. Whoever is implementing this national disaster is relentlessly reducing the United States to dependency on Third World Countries for food. The world economy is an oil economy that is fully controlled. The United States of America should be energy independent, but is dependent on imported oil from Third World Nations. With drinking and farming water also controlled, America will soon be at the mercy of those in control of those human necessities. It could easily be concluded at that point that America would no longer be free, but would have definitely entered into the final stage of a total dictatorship.

It is the wish of this author that this thesis will cause America to wake up and stand up to those less than loyal public servants steering our country down the road to disaster.

To support the American citizens in their fight for their property and personal rights, appropriate excerpts from four state constitutions, as well as the Constitution of the United States, have been included. Water rights were included to help farmers determine where they, their county and their state should take control from a bloated and overpowering federal government. Oaths of offices have been excerpted to show the people what to expect and demand from their political leaders, as well as a remedy for corruption. The treaty provisions of the Constitution of the United States were included to make them aware of the bold by-passing of the Constitution being done by Congress and the President. (These excerpts are in the Appendix. For treaties, please read “Constitution Trumps Treaties”.)

Careful study of the Supreme Law of the Land -- that trilogy comprising the Constitution of the United States , the Federalist Papers and cases of the Supreme Court of the United States -- reveals that the federal government has neither business nor right to control water in the Klamath River watershed in Klamath County, Oregon. The sheriff of Klamath County, Oregon should have the ultimate policing authority in that county. Therefore, the sheriff of Klamath County, Oregon could have and should have the power to order all federal agents off the water project and control in Klamath County, which includes Upper Klamath Lake. But he did not do it. (Seldom do we see honorable sheriffs like Mack, Printz and Mattis.) The same is probably true in Siskiyou County, California, which includes Lower Klamath Lake. This premise should hold for all farmland and its water in the United States.

The federal government is using international law gained through treaties to gain power not granted them by the Constitution. One cannot help but compare this to the police states so dominating in the last Century. Using this deceptive mechanism, the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), and its mutant child, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) have come into power. Research shows that the Bureau of Reclamation (BoR) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are also so empowered. This unconstitutional charade has caused a devastating situation for the farmers in the Klamath Basin and our Constitution Republic.

The U.S. military may still have an installation near Tule Lake, but that should have no bearing on the farms and the use of water downstream. In addition, it is doubtful that any land in the Klamath Basin was properly ceded to the federal government by the States of Oregon and California as mandated by the Constitution of the United States.

In the State of Washington, that state government is practically taking control of some private property because a stream flows through it.

This thesis concentrates on those unalienable rights guaranteed by our Constitution to individual American citizens, and on the limitations of our federal government, also guaranteed by our Constitution.

I believe in and love my country. I am a firm supporter of our Constitutional Republic. It is the gross and blatant deviation from our original Constitution that alarms me.

I believe that there is nothing wrong with our Constitution Republic (except the 16th and 17th Amendments, which deviate from the Founding Fathers' original intent.) However, our elected officials operating our federal government have been disregarding the United States Constitution to the point that we are seriously in danger of losing the liberties guaranteed by our Constitution. Congress is expanding its power beyond our Constitution through the treaty mechanism. The mainstream media is disregarding this problem to the point of disinformation. A simple solution is to force our political representatives to consider the Constitution of the United States before any and all legislation and overhaul the treaties, or vote them out of office. But before this is to be accomplished, the people must be informed of their rights in this matter. Then the problem of piercing the less than honest media presents itself. The Internet is helping to solve that problem.

A knowledge of their rights as guaranteed by our Constitution of the United States, explained in the Federalist Papers and backed by the Supreme Court, will enable people to demand justice for their cause. The research on oaths will inform the people of the obligations to which their elected officials swore. A knowledge of constitutional and common law water rights will help the people determine where the elected leaders operating our federal government have overstepped their constitutional limits. The discussion of the power of the county sheriffs will inform the people about the policing power that is to properly represent them and protect their life, liberty and property, as well as from an errant government. The discussion of treaty power will temper all other discussions.

A rather interesting point can be applied with oaths: If constitutionally mandated oaths do not include an ending date, then they may be thought of as lasting forever, even after leaving office. E.g., if a person once accepted a commission in the armed forces of the United States and swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, he/she would still be obligated to that oath. Another scenario: If a person, upon accepting any government job, swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, he/she would still be obligated to that oath. Interesting. One might check this item as needed. Consequences affecting one's present position would be applicable, it would seem.

The very limited role of the federal government has been covertly augmented through treaty power, disregard and misappropriation.

Through civil disobedience, unconstitutional agencies and laws may often be negated. Government only works when citizens work it.

This thesis is not intended to be the final word. Rather, the people are encouraged to learn from this research, stand up for their rights and see that those rights are restored. For example, concerning the Klamath Lake and River water problem, it might be Constitutionally legal and proper for the sheriffs in Klamath County, Oregon and Siskiyou County, California to throw all federal agents out on their posteriors. The documentation is all here. The people must stand up on their hind legs and take back their country -- their government, their land, their farms, their water, and their lives.

An important point should be emphasized here: We, the people, are the government. We have lost when we refer to government as an entity apart from us. It is the plan of totalitarians to separate the subjects from government. We ARE the government in this Constitutional Republic, and we must bear that fact in mind constantly.

There is nothing wrong with our Constitutional Republic, which is our federal government (except the 16th and 17th Amendments, which deviate from the Founding Fathers' original intent.) The serious problems emanate from the feral punks in Washington, DC who are running our federal government into the ground. They should be talked to very seriously by persuasive means. (There are about ten honorable exceptions in Congress, at most twenty.)

This Constitutional Republic will only work when we taxpaying, voting citizens work it.

Ben Franklin summed it up well: "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

 (An important concept from Definitions is repeated here: The federal government is that government defined by the United States Constitution. In this thesis, it is understood that we, the people, are that government. The public servants operating our federal government for us are collectively referred to as the federal government for convenience and simplicity.)

Being aware of the dangers of making fact out of fiction derived from idle thought, there nonetheless exists that possibility that the guys and gals running our government are up to something not beneficial to we people. Perhaps offering a few ideas here will alert people to look for adverse developments. It is generally agreed that the bureaucrats in Washington, DC are prone to pass out disinformation. It is even more agreed that the mainstream media delivers more misinformation than truth. Let us examine a few points. (Detailed documentation is in the Appendix.)

The federal government is limited to the mandates of the Constitution of the United States.

The federal government land ownership is limited to the Capitol, forts, post roads, etc.

Some of the misuse of the commerce clause has been struck down by the Supreme Court.

It is unconstitutional for the federal government to be controlling any water in the Klamath Lake and Klamath River watershed, or the dam and gates at Upper Klamath Lake. In the arguments here, water is considered as “running with the land”.

If the federal government has no business managing Klamath Lake, it is highly probable the federal government is libel for all damage to the farms due to water shortage. When one farmer went broke, he killed himself. What price should be placed on his life? Two federal laws enable people to take action.

The mouth of the Klamath River is at an isolated stretch of the Pacific Coast. At the Klamath River headwaters is (or was) a government installation. Is there a connection here? If so, was that land properly ceded by the state?

Even though the Klamath River runs through two states, that should not be federal government concern. That is the concern of Oregon and California. The commerce clause does not seem to apply here. The Lopez Supreme Court case put limits on the use of the commerce clause.

It is most probable that the sheriffs of Klamath and Siskiyou Counties have authority to order federal government agents out of their counties, jailing them if they resist.

The Bureau of Reclamation (BoR), the Department of the Interior (DoI), the Department of Agriculture (DoA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are controlling land, water and improvements along the Klamath River Watershed in Oregon and California. This is unconstitutional. Those holdings must be ceded first to the citizens holding the deeds and rights, then to the several states and their people.

The United States Forest Service (USFS) may need discussion here. The USFS has closed miles of roads, prohibiting fire fighting and causing loss of huge tracts of timber. I can not find in the U.S. Constitution where the federal government is given authority to do anything with forests. That land must be ceded first to the citizens holding the deeds and rights, then to the several states and their people.

The American Heritage Rivers Initiative (AHRI) has been usurping and giving control of our rivers to the federal government and the UN. This is unconstitutional. Is control of drinking and farming water the reason?

The United Nations (UN) has selected Heritage Sites, etc. along the entire length of the Klamath River watershed from the Pacific Ocean to Crater Lake and Tule Lake. Why? (Twenty one sites are listed below.) The UN Charter is a treaty. That bodes ill. Treaties can not supersede the Constitution. Therefore, the UN is involved in illegal actions.

UN biospheres (MAB) have been disapproved and defunded by Congress, yet, through misappropriation, the biosphere program continues to receive funds and to expand. Again, the UN being a treaty, this is unconstitutional and highly illegal.

There are numerous articles stating that the UN wants our guns. According to our Founding Fathers writing in the Federalist Papers, that spells the end to freedom and our Constitutional Republic. Since the Federalist Papers instruct that we are expected to keep guns ready to protect life, liberty and property, and to repel an errant government, that right is unalienable. Being a treaty, the UN has no standing here.

The UN is demanding that its International Court of Justice (ICJ; also know as the World Court) be recognized as superior to all United States courts. This is a serious threat to our national sovereignty and must be halted. It can not and it must not supersede our Constitution.

Many law enforcement agencies have been violating our unalienable rights as reiterated in the 4th Amendment governing our security against unreasonable searches, seizures and arrests. It will be effort well spent to see that they follow the Constitution, together with the applicable Supreme Court rulings.

As you folks proceed to take back your country, your land, your water and your way of life, it will be to your benefit to be aware of your Constitutional rights in this respect. Ample documentation is included the Appendix.

It should be noted here that the United Nations (UN) is a very bad outfit. A few of the UN's many forms are UNESCO, MAB and Heritage Sites. It is highly probable that the UN is striving for global totalitarianism -- total, dictatorial control of all governments. To us old Vets, that means Hitler type, Nazi dictatorship, world wide. And this time there will be no America to come charging to our rescue. That will be it. So, when I spotted 21 areas in and near the Klamath River watershed that the UN has listed, the alarm bells went off. A good question arises: Just what is the UN doing there? Our Constitution prohibits federal and foreign control of our land and its water. This poses additional threats to our freedom through violation of international law. The UN Charter is a treaty that can NOT and must NOT supersede our Constitution. Congressman Ron Paul has been trying valiantly to negate the UN Treaty, but few inside the Washington Beltway listen to his sage advice. One cannot help but theorize why.

I do not know exactly what the goons that are running our federal government are up to, but it is not good. It bodes ill. And when it occurs to me that they are doing it to us with our tax money, and with our land and water, I become furious. And then when it occurs to me that the federal government has no business doing all that nasty, inconvenient stuff in the first place, I act. But one person can not do it alone -- It will take large groups of people shouting loud and clear and presenting their bodies for emphasis to straighten out this mess. Perhaps it will require armed bodies.

The farmers in the Klamath Basin near Klamath Lake in Oregon, the small land owners in the State of Washington, and all farmers and land owners in America must stand up with the Constitution, and possibly their guns, in their hands. It's about time somebody stood up for their rights. This thesis is my effort to help you. I wish you the best of luck. It could be that the way you go, could be the way that America goes. We need your noble effort, folks.

In my years of fighting government corruption, I have observed few, if any, instances where the people running our federal government backed down. They stall when resistance becomes too vocal, but later, after the public quiets down, they go right on with their plan, often changing the title. (Hillary's "It Takes A Village" and Bill Clinton's EO 13086 that destroyed federalism come to mind.) The most treacherous aspect of this plan is that they have plenty of time and money. They are operating with our tax money and land, putting them in the elite control position, and putting we people in the “pay till we bleed” position. That could get to a guy right down there where it's downright aggravating. If the farmers do not stand up for their rights and break this trend, we may all suffer drastically.

As for the EPA and those pests they are protecting, look as I will, I can not find any place in the United States Constitution that gives the federal government the right to even start thinking about such projects. For sure the federal government has absolutely no right to hold, control or regulate that land and the water than runs with it. That makes that whole scheme totally unconstitutional. And no treaty can overrule that limitation. So what do those goons in Congress in Washington, DC think they are pulling off? If I tried to do something like that, I would be in jail immediately. It long past time we utilized 5 USC 706 and put a host of our public “servants” in prison. That's what that law is for.

You folks and your sheriff most probably have the right to throw out all federal agents when those federal agents are outside the law. And the Constitution of the United States stands tall at the top of the supreme law of OUR land. Herein are the facts you need to get going.

Stand tall and proud, Folks. My heart goes with you.

In the smaller picture we find the farmers in the Klamath Basin being forced out of business by unconstitutional acts of the federal government. In the larger picture, we see this action nationally in a magnitude that indicates an organized dismantling of our agricultural industry. Whoever is implementing this national disaster is relentlessly reducing the United States to dependency on Third World Countries for food. The world economy is an oil economy that is fully controlled. The United States of America should be energy independent, but is dependent on imported oil from Third World Nations. With drinking and farming water also controlled, America may soon be at the mercy of those in control of those human necessities. It could easily be concluded at that point that America would no longer be free, but would have definitely entered into the final stage of a total dictatorship.

A case in point -- When two 9th Circuit judges closed the Headgates in Klamath Falls, Oregon in 2001, they violated the Constitution to the point of treason. The facts are simple and final:

• The Constitution is a limiting document that prohibits the federal government from dealing with farms and farm water.
• Treaties can NOT alter or sidestep the Constitution, the Law of the Land.
• These facts are so basic that jurisdictional arguments have no standing in this issue.
• To argue these basic facts is to violate the Constitution.

Therefore:

• Federal agencies and laws that deal with land control are unconstitutional.
• Lawsuits based on unconstitutional agencies and laws have no standing.
• To allow the federal government to negotiate in these matters is to violate the Constitution.
• To allow the federal government to negotiate in these matters is to lose. It will grant our elected and appointed public servants license to violate the Constitution, a procedure far too advanced at present.
• Federal agents must be removed from land and water control not expressed in the Constitution.
• Water runs with the land, a vital concept dating to the birth of our nation.

Winning action dictates:

• Offending judges, agents and “blind” politicians must be prosecuted for their blatant disregard of the Constitution.
• Plaintiffs initiating illegal lawsuits must be held liable.
• All could have known and should have known. Judges and lawmakers certainly have no excuse not to have known.
• Farmers must be compensated for damages.

The above reasoning applies to state laws and agencies that are based in any way upon unconstitutional federal agencies or laws. They are without power to enforce.

Following the implementation of this stand, the same action must be taken nationally in an effort to save our constitutional republic from total destruction.

It is a national disaster that very few attorneys comprehend the Constitution and the basic stand taken by this thesis.

In the overall scenario we see unconstitutional acts being done at public expense using public tax dollars.

In the total picture emerges a gnawing question: Why? And who?

This disastrous chain of events must be stopped. The first road block could be placed in the Klamath Basin. In fact, it is highly probable that so go the the farmers in the Klamath Basin, so goes America. This is not a fight to lose.

To honor their Oath of Office, the Constitution of the United States and the Misprision of Felony Law, judges must order all federal government agents off land and return all that land and water to the citizens holding the deeds and rights to that land and water, with the residual going to the county and state in which it is located.

On the shoulders of those two 9th Circuit judges rests the future of America. But instead of honoring their Oath of Office and upholding and defending our Constitution, they have perilously violated both. This thesis is offered as a guide to correcting the situation.
