Chapter Thirteen
NULLIFICATION BEFORE SECESSION
This chapter states the obvious: before any talk of a State or State's seceding from anything, the State must attempt to nullify the evil and offending laws that are the evidence of tyranny on the part of the federal government. The mechanics of nullification can be seen by studying any of the various nullification movements and/or actions that have occurred throughout the history of the US. The Nullification Crisis of 1832 is a helpful model but be very sure you read between the lines of what actually happened during that crisis. Modern historians make it look like Andy Jackson won the argument with South Carolina about Tariffs. What most historians ignore is the way Andy Jackson won was to virtually eliminate the tariffs that created the nullification crisis in the first place. Thus, the moral of the story is, nullification works...or worked in the past.
The Nullification Crisis of 1832 obviously was a forerunner to the Civil War and as such tends to make people prove the truth of the old saying, "Once bitten, twice shy." Certainly people tend to be frozen in place when State's Rights arguments are raised today because in fact we the people were once bitten.
States Rights and questions of secession are important because if a minority cannot secede from a tyrannical, or insane, or some other unliveable majority, then that minority is de facto enslaved--in slavery. For that reason times of terrible danger require a return to the discussion of nullification, secession and civil war.
But the minority will not be enslaved in the USA without a war that destroys that minority. The only way Civil War can be avoided in this nation is to overthrow the power of the present government of the United States of America, a government controlled by disciples of Joseph Campbell. This can be accomplished by replacing every elected or appointed government official in this nation who is subject to the self-image created by Joseph Campbell with individuals committed to upholding and enforcing the Law that has its foundation in the principles defined by the Declaration of Independence.
Obviously this will take some time. But it can be done, it must be done, and it will be done unless we, the people, of the United States of America are hellbent on choosing to engage in another exercise in mutual mass destruction.
****************************
Admittedly, the scope and size of the remedy prescribed is mind-boggling at first glance. I am suggesting that literally tens of thousands of government officials at every level of government--local, county, state, and federal--be replaced by individuals committed to upholding the Law created by the Founders of this nation and defined in the Declaration of Independence.
Any reasonable person would naturally shudder when first glancing at the awesome logistical details created by such a strategy. But reasonable and knowledgeable people, when they first hear my strategy, do more than shudder, they laugh as if I am telling a joke. They react as if they have just encountered one of the most preposterous ideas ever uttered in this nation. They laugh because they know something about how our nation actually works today, something that, at first glance, makes my strategy utterly inconceivable. They know that only Lawyers get elected to office in this nation.
Virtually every office of government in this nation past the local level is presently filled by lawyers. A tradition has developed in this nation that only lawyers are qualified to hold elected or appointed government office. This tradition has developed because we, the people, have become convinced that only lawyers actually understand government and the law.
This book is an indictment of the failure of Lawyers to understand what Lawyers were supposed to understand--the Law! Every word I have written in this book is designed to prove that the opposite is actually the case in this country today. Lawyers do not understand the Law! If they had understood, the Revolution that has occurred in this nation could not have occurred! In the light of all the evidence I have outlined in the book, the idea that only lawyers are qualified to hold elected and appointed office in the government of this nation is absolutely hilarious in a bizarre and macabre way. That idea suggests that the very people who have demonstrated their abject failure to learn the fundamental Truths about Law in this nation are the only ones qualified to defend and enforce the Law for we, the people. How could this Revolution have occurred if lawyers had done their duty under the Law? It couldn't. Yet people laugh at my ideas because they think people will always be subject to the idea that only lawyers are actually qualified to hold office in this nation. Perhaps I will yet have the last laugh. But it's too soon to tell because the idea persists that only lawyers can run for public office. Because that idea persists, people who read my ideas feel pessimistic when they realize the only way rightful authority can be restored to this nation is through a grand and total restaffing of government offices.
Such pessimism is totally unwarranted because many thousands of qualified people can be equipped in a short period of time to be ready to stand for election to public office in this nation. Where would we find qualified people to accomplish such a strategy? From people, like yourself, who have been led by the ideas in this book to return to the Foundation of Law in the United States of America. Those people, once they stand on the real Foundation of the Law in this nation, will begin to exercise the authority that comes to those who understand the truth about the Law in the United States of America. In the exercising of the rightful authority of the law in this nation, they will draw support from every real citizen of the United States of America. That support will take the form of election to public office.
These are the people who will Restore rightful authority to this nation!
Think about it! The only truly necessary qualification for a responsible government official in this nation is an understanding of the Law. If you have read this book, and grasped the facts I have outlined here, you understand the Law. In fact, you presently understand the Law better than virtually every Lawyer in this nation! If you grasp the points I have written in this book, you are presently better equipped and therefore better qualified than virtually any Lawyer in the nation to actually uphold and enforce the Law in the United States of America.
Now obviously few people will read this book and feel equipped to jump up and run for office. Much additional study and thought will be required before a candidate is prepared to undergo the rigors of the public examination candidates must undergo.
But this book is only the first step. This book is a preliminary sketch of the ideas that must be firmly grasped and understood before an individual can be equipped to be a public spokesperson and representative of the Law in this nation. As a first step, the reading and comprehension of this book is necessary. Unless the philosophy of the Law outlined in this book is comprehended, nothing further can be added that can lead to Restoration of rightful authority in this nation. But citizens who have found their duty defined by the Philosophy of the Law in the Declaration of Independence, will have access to further assistance in the performance of their duty.
In order for citizen-candidates to be equipped to defeat the Present Revolution and Restore this nation to its rightful authority, a series of workshops and seminars will be conducted throughout the nation. There will be two distinct seminars formats available: (1) a one-day program free to the general public designed to expose the public to the ideas in this book, and identify individuals interested in further study; and (2) longer workshops designed to train candidates to implement the principles of Law defined in the Declaration of Independence by educating the citizens of this nation about those principles. Finally, for those who become candidates striving to restore the rightful authority to this nation, an ongoing communication and training resource group will be provided that is designed to assist the prospective candidates in dealing with both the philosophical details of a protracted campaign and the day-to-day decisions any candidate must make about local issues.

Hopefully, after reading this far, you agree that the rightful authority must be Restored to the government of the United States. And hopefully, you now understand that it can be done. The only question remaining is, Will it be done?
That question is yours to answer. Your will, the will of the individual citizen of the United States of America, is the key to everything the government of the United States was founded to accomplish. The Founders of this nation understood that government could only exercise just power when the governed gave their consent. Consent is nothing more than an act of will, an act of willful agreement to a goal. I have tried to define the goal created by the Founders of the government of the United States of America, the goal precisely defined by the Law in the Declaration of Independence. The decision you as an individual make about that goal will determine the destiny of the United States of America.
Are we to continue wandering around like an amnesia victim drifting ever closer to Absolute Despotism, or will we be Restored to the nation created by the Founders of the United States of America? The destiny of this nation is in your hands. How will you decide?
If you decide to do your duty as a citizen of the nation founded by the people who created the United States of America you need to read about the strategy presently being implemented by the Creator's Rights Party.
