The U.S. Constitution failed to specifically require government agencies
to show cause in an independent Court of Justice for (1) being armed,
and (2) INITIATING physical force.
Among armed agencies that had caused wrongful death, injury, destruction
of property, violation of civil rights, and confiscation of property,
were the Internal Revenue Service, the Environmental Protection Agency,
the Department of Energy, the Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco and Firearms,
the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
Government abuses were blamed on mistaken identity, unreliable
informants, overzealous agents, poor judgement and training, and
violation of administrative procedures, or of law.
In 1993, the FBI mandate of investigative police work seemed to be
surpassed when it attacked with military-type tanks and other weapons
the Branch Davidian residential complex at Waco, Texas, killing all 85
men, women and children inside.
The FBI assault came after the BATF had gone to the complex to search
for "illegal" weapons and began a shootout with the Davidians that
killed six of the residents and four agents. No attempt had been made
to detain or question Davidian leader David Koresh on his many walks to
the food market prior to the violence.
In 1992, the BATF accused anti-government activist Randy Weaver, of
Ruby Ridge, Idaho, of selling an illegal sawed-off shotgun, and when he
refused to answer a court summons, sent 100 agents to his cabin. His
wife, baby daughter, 14-year old son and a federal marshal were shot to
death in an ensuing seige that was later determined to be a wrongful act
by the agency.
Thirty years after the fact, the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that
the FBI wrongfully acted in a political manner when it tried to have
University of California-Berkeley President Clark Kerr fired during a
rebellious 1960's student free-speech movement.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary confirmed that government
scientists exposed inmates of infirmaries to long periods of radiation
to test the effects. The government said it obtained the victim's
consent, but O'Leary admitted nearly all were mentally retarded,
illiterate, or aged and unable to grasp what was happening.
A Times/CNN poll in the mid-1990's found 52 percent of Americans
questioned were deeply concerned about these and many other abuses of
government power;
"The federal government has become
so powerful that it poses a threat to
the rights and freedoms of its citizens."
With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural
Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and
Democratic Ideals, all government employees, particularly armed agents,
are held personally responsible for conduct that violates the Principles, Policies
and Practices as the people at-large may set forth in Law.
