NOTES (excerpts):

"When an American citizen comes into court today, he is not faced with the power or majesty of the law... Instead, he finds that he is facing the power of money, and the power of political influence."

Adams did not envision the judiciary as the vehicle of this despotism, but his colleague, Thomas Jefferson, who was aware of the perils inherent in a central banking system as well as in a consolidated judiciary, wrote in 1821,

"It has long, however, been my opinion, and I have never shrunk from its expression.. . . ; that the germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal judiciary: an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow.) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States, and the government of all consolidated into one. To this I am opposed; because, when all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the centre of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated. It will be as in Europe, where every man must be either pike or gudgeon, hammer or anvil. If the States look with apathy on this silent descent of their government into the gulf which is to swallow all, we have only to weep over the human character formed uncontrollable but by a rod of iron, and the blasphemers of man, as incapable of self-government, become his true historians."

Modem governments rule by a simple formula, by convincing the masses that they are able to exist by the labor of others. In return for this "free" existence, they agree to cooperate in helping the government crush anyone who dares to speak out in favor of our traditional liberties. Frederic Bastiat, the French philosopher, pointed this out when he said, "Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavours to live at the expense of everybody else." The subhumans, that is, the gray men, the mattoids, those who admit they are unqualified to compete in the games of modem life, sink back into the morass from which they emerged, a morass which is variously labelled Communism or other dictatorships. In the United States, the gray men have found a unique defender, the court system.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

For almost half a century, Eustace Mullins researched and wrote about matters of pressing national interest, bringing a unique personal point of view never swayed by any political or financial influence. His given name, Eustace, means "Justice" in Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus Christ. A further linguistic definition of this name is "God's equal justice as promised for all". Eustace Mullins launched his career as the protege of the poet Ezra Pound, four of whose students, William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, and T. S. Eliot, were subsequently awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He also became the protege of George Stimpson, founder of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. and of H. L. Hunt, a businessman who evinced a lifelong concern with good government. As a memorial to the work of Ezra Pound, Mullins founded the Ezra Pound Institute of Civilization in 1972 to continue Pound's ground-breaking work in literature and economics.
