Lysander Spooner (18081887). The right and the physical power ofthe people to resist unjustice, are really the only securities
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6181/spooner.htm

Extractions: "The right and the physical power of the people to resist unjustice, are really the only securities that any people ever can have for their liberties." To me, the most important implication of Spooner's writings is that "coercive political systems" are hoaxes and frauds. (An exception would be a political system established via legitimate contract in which all parties to a political system enter knowingly, willingly, intentionally, and explicitly into a contract or constitution to create and operate the political system. I know of no current political system that satisfies this requirement.) Thus I regard all pretended "countries," "states," "laws," "kings," "queens," "presidents," etc. as hoaxes, frauds, imposters, and liars. This includes that the notion that Bill Clinton is "president" of the "USA" is quite absurd. It's beyond me that a freedom lover who's read Spooner's 'Constitution of No Authority' can be so gullible as to believe that there's really a "USA" and that Bill Clinton is "its" "president."

Extractions: dictionary essays market library ... bio Lysander Spooner was an American legal theorist of the 19th century. He was born on a farm in Athol, Massachusetts, on January 19, 1808, and died "at one o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, May 14, in his little room at 109 Myrtle Street, surrounded by trunks and chests bursting with the books, manuscripts, and pamphlets which he had gathered about him in his active pamphleteer's warfare over half a century long." (From Our Nestor Taken From Us by Benjamin Tucker Later known as an early individualist anarchist, Spooner advocated what he called Natural Law or the Science of Justice wherein acts of coercion against individuals were considered "illegal" but the so-called criminal acts that violated only man-made legislation were not. His activism began with his career as a lawyer, which itself violated local Massachusetts law. Spooner had studied law under the prominent lawyers and politicians, John Davis and Charles Allen, but he had never attended college. According to the laws of the state, college graduates were required to study with an attorney for three years, while non-graduates were required to do so for five years. With the encouragement of his legal mentors, Spooner set up his practice in Worcester after only three years, openly defying the courts. He saw the two-year privilege for college graduates as a state-sponsored discrimination against the poor. He argued that such discrimination was "so monstrous a principle as that the rich ought to be protected by law from the competition of the poor." In 1836, the legislature abolished the restriction.

http://www.mtlp.org/sublit/treason.htm

Extractions: Lysander Spooner No Treason Introductory The question of treason is distinct from that of slavery; and is the same that it would have been, if free States, instead of slave States, had seceded. On the part of the North, the war was carried on, not to liberate the slaves, but by a government that had always perverted and violated the Constitution, to keep the slaves in bondage; and was still willing to do so, if the slaveholders could be thereby induced to stay in the Union. The principle, on which the war was waged by the North, was simply this: that men may rightfully be compelled to submit to, and support, a government that they do not want; and that resistance, on their part, makes them traitors and criminals. No principle, that is possible to be named, can be more self-evidently false than this; or more self-evidently fatal to all political freedom. Yet it triumphed in the field, and is now assumed to be established. If it be really established, the number of slaves, instead of having been diminished by the war, has been greatly increased; for a man, thus subjected to a government that he does not want, is a slave. And there is no difference, in principle-but only in degree-between political and chattel slavery. The former, no less than the latter, denies a man's ownership of himself and the products of his labor; and asserts that other men may own him, and dispose of him and his property, for their uses, and at their pleasure. Previous to the war, there were some grounds for saying that-in theory, at least, if not in practice-our government was a free one; that it rested upon consent. But nothing of that kind can be said now, if the principle on which the war was carried on by the North, is irrevocably established.

Bu nedenle nutkun yanlýþ, saçma, kendisiyle çeliþen ve gülünç olsaydý, bence, bu seleflerinden þahsen daha az dürüst, makul ya da tutarlý olduðundan kaynaklanmayacaktý; tam tersine, bu durum senin tanýmýna göre ve neredeyse yüz yýlý bulan bir yönetim tecrübesi dikkate alýndýðýnda tamamen ve aþikar bir þekilde hatalý, ve suçlu olan devletin kendisinden kaynaklanacaktý. Dolayýsýyla ona atfettiðin övgülerde yanlýþ, saçma ve gülünç olacaktýr. Bu nedenle, onu bütün insanlara eþitlik ve tam adalet saðlamayý taahhüt eden bir devlet olarak tanýmlamaktasýn. Bunun ne anlama geldiðini düþünmeyi bir kenara mý býraktýn? Tabii ki öyle yapmadýn. Söylevinin geriye kalanýnýn neredeyse tamamý onunla doðrudan çeliþmektedir. O halde adaletin deðiþmez ve doðal bir ilke olduðunu ve her hangi bir insanýn yapacaðý, yapamayacaðý ya da deðiþtirebileceði bir þey olmadýðýný sana hatýrlatmak isterim. Bunun yaný sýra bilimin konusudur ve matematik ya da diðer her hangi bir bilim gibi öðrenilmesi gereklidir. Otoritesini, kendilerine ister devlet desinler isterse baþka herhangi bir þey, insanlarýn bir araya geldiði her hangi bir grubun emirlerinden, iradesinden ya da takdir yetkisinden almaz.

Bob Murphy Lysander Spooner No Treason No. VI: The Constitution of No Authority I. The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. It has no authority or obligation at all, unless as a contract between man and man. And it does not so much as even purport to be a contract between persons now existing. It purports, at most, to be only a contract between persons living eighty years ago. [This essay was written in 1869.] And it can be supposed to have been a contract then only between persons who had already come to years of discretion, so as to be competent to make reasonable and obligatory contracts. Furthermore, we know, historically, that only a small portion even of the people then existing were consulted on the subject, or asked, or permitted to express either their consent or dissent in any formal manner. Those persons, if any, who did give their consent formally, are all dead now. Most of them have been dead forty, fifty, sixty, or seventy years. and the Constitution, so far as it was their contract, died with them

Extractions: TO JUDGE OF THE JUSTICE OF LAWS Section I For more than six hundred years-that is, since Magna Carta, in 1215there has been no clearer principle of English or American constitutional law, than that, in criminal cases, it is not only the right and duty of juries to judge what are the facts, what is the law, and what was the moral intent of the accused; but that it is also their light, and their primary and paramount duty, to judge the justice of the law, and to hold all laws invalid, that are, in their opinion, unjust or oppressive, and all persons guiltless in violating, or resisting the execution of, such law. Unless such be the right and duty of jurors, it is plain that, instead of juries being a "palladium of liberty"-a barrier against the tyranny and oppression of the government-they are really mere tools in its hands, for carrying into execution any injustice and oppression it may desire to have executed. But for their right to judge the law, and the justice of the law

Extractions: Edited by David T. Freeman. A GAME CALLED "COUNTRIES" There is a game called "Countries." The game consists of subgames with names such as "U.S.A.," "France," "U.K.," "Australia," "China," etc. Each subgame has its own "territory," often bordered by rivers or seas, which is shown on a map with all the other "territories," to define the area of each subgame, so all players "know" which subgame they are playing. The players have different pieces they move around. Some pieces are considered more important and more powerful than other pieces. The pieces are called names like "king," "queen," "emperor," "president," "prime minister," "senator," "representative," "secretary," "judge," "general," "captain," "governor," "attorney," "marshall," "sheriff," "policeman," "policewoman," "lawyer," "businessman," "businesswoman," "doctor," "soldier," "citizen," "employer," "employee," "taxpayer," "voter," "parent," "child," "teacher," "preacher," "journalist," "unemployee," "criminal," "illegal immigrant," etc. The pieces considered to be most important (joined in associations called "governments," "monarchies," etc.) make up the rules of their games as they go along. The rules are called "laws." The "most important players" change the rules whenever they like. The scores of the games are kept with tokens called "money."
