Book Description

Publication Date: May 1995

With the continuing deterioration of our rights and personal freedoms, here at last is a manual on what can be done to regain the Rights that our country was founded on. This book contains practical steps that anyone can take. Includes 75 pages of testimony and documentation that can be used to regain what our Founding Fathers fought for. Learn what our Common Law rights are and how to protect and assert them. Learn what a "Sovereign Citizen" is and how to become one. This is not an issue of "right-wing" or "left-wing" to many of those involved. This movement transcends the usual labeling of the political spectrum.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"Every freedom loving American in this country needs to read this book." - Dr. Norm Resnick, USA Patriot Network Radio Possibly the best selling Common Law book in existence, this short and easily read book tells it the way it is. Common Law is a tool of empowerment and this is what drives this book into higher and higher sales.

We can all see the deterioration of the democratic process in America and the misuse of power over many by a few. But what can we do in a very real and practical sense? This is a no-nonsense detailed story on the kind of country we had in the beginning and how "we the people" can restore ourselves as Masters of Congress and our Country where we instruct our government employees what to do rather than taking orders from them. If you ever believed ours is a Great Country and want to contribute to the restoration of our Greatness, you must have this book!

"This book has the potential to be on the desk of every business and perhaps every lawyer in the country." - James Abel, Abel Publishing

"I am authorizing every regional manager in the network to carry this book for his members. This book should be in every High School classroom in America." - Merv Hague, National Marketing Director, North American Freedom Council

"If Americans knew what was in this book, the country would be free overnight. Our organization has placed countless copies all over the country." - Larry Logan, Oklahoma Freedom Council

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

All law in America is based on the status of the individual. All legislation, judicial actions, and administrative policy is based on status, for there are different classes of citizens and subjects. (For example, under the 14th Amendment, "equal protection" is applied to corporate "persons" as "citizens," even though, strictly speaking, they are simply subjects.) Though a law be termed "general" and not special, it must be decided by the court as to whom it will apply. The application of laws, or statutes (as they really are only expressions of the law) is basically unknown as to the fullest extent of their range. Only in individual cases can it truly be determined according to the facts surrounding the respective case.

Therefore, the status of the party must be determined before the Court should proceed and before the Court can make an intelligent decision. How can status be determined if it is not pleaded? How can it be pleaded except by statements of fact, and of the constitutional application and intent of the particular statute in the case? The way to determining law is to plead all the facts in a case in such a way as to show the status of the parties, and therefore, the rightful scope of the statute.

"Where fundamental rights are in question, there shall be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them." (Miranda vs. Arizona) Among the most important rights the people hold are those protected by the Bill of Rights, but these are only a scant few of all the capacities, abilities and potentials of any one human being. The Bill of Rights was only a statement, brief and definite, that the Founders considered the Constitution to be a strictly expressed grant of political power by the people to a governmental structure designed to protect their rights first and foremost, and never, under any pretense, to violate any right held by the people.

Perhaps the right of greatest importance, of greatest value to the free citizen of these United States in his association with his fellow man and his government, is the absolute ownership of property. From this absolute dominion, said Thomas Jefferson, flows all free society, and without it, of course, comes dictatorship and oppression. If the owner of the property shall not have unconditional control and use of it --- who shall? If the owner shall not reap the profits of the use of property, who shall? Who shall have the fruits of labor? Should it be the man whose right it is to labor? Who, but a freeman, can claim this right?

5.0 out of 5 stars What we were not taught in the state run schools!, October 20, 2000

By 

Louis-Liptak Engelhart (Vinton, IA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The History of American Constitutional or Common Law With Commentary Concerning: Equity and Merchant Law (Paperback)

Until I had been out in the work force for 20 years I thought I had a fair education. It was not until I visited Russia in 1995 that I met and talked to some educators who could not believe my ignorance of history. Remember, this was 5 years after the fall of communism. They politely suggested I do some reading and gave me some ideas where to look. The result of 4 years of part-time study led me to question everything I had been taught about US history but especially the last 100 years.

If I had found Dale Pond's book 4 years ago I could have saved myself a lot of work. He has provided references and case studies for his work. In my expert opinion, having also done it the hard way, he has created an excellent primary reader for anyone who wants to learn the truth about our current "Administrative" legal system and why we are now "subjects," where once we were "Sovereigns."

When you finish reading this book you won't look at the US government the same way, ever again. Then you will want to know what is the secondary reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars An informative introduction to Common Law, April 24, 2002

By 

Ronnie Dail (Lakewood, Washington United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The History of American Constitutional or Common Law With Commentary Concerning: Equity and Merchant Law (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book as an introduction to anyone interested in how "Our" government really functions and how it continually violates the Constitution of the united States of America. If you want to retain your "Rights" as a Citizen" this is a must.

I have been researching this, and related subjects for almost twenty-five years and it is an eye opener even for me. I would also recommend Cracking the Code, 3rd Edition from BBCOA. Visit them at their website ... (I am not on their payroll.)

Not for the faint of heart or the typical "government school mis-educated" person. If you are not able or willing to think for yourself you should leave this book where you find it.
