WHEN ALL CRIMES ARE COMMERCIAL

CFR 27 SECTION 72.11

Victimized by our so-called “legal system?”

Have you or a family member been victimized by our so-called “legal system?”

There is help, however it will not come from an “attorney at law” for they are the problem, not the solution! The Citizen’s Rights Task Force is here to help. Why? Consider the following facts:

• According to the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, 100% of the people that are in Federal or State Penitentiaries are there VOLUNTARILY!!!!! Don’t believe it? We have some simple “yes” or “no” questions to prove how one is duped into forfeiting their Rights and trading them for statutory privileges.
• An “attorney at law” is an arm of the state and their FIRST duty is to the court, then the government… NOT to you! Furthermore, whenever any “duty” to you interferes with their first duty, YOU are the one that is to take “back seat.”
• Think you have “attorney/client privilege” where what you say to an “attorney at law” remains private? Ever hear of “discovery?” This is where “your attorney” is ordered to turn over your information to THE STATE that is attempting to incarcerate you.
• 1 in 32 Americans is either in prison or on parole or probation.
• Over 40% of people admitted into prisons in America are “convicted” under the “Political Code” and therefore, by definition, Political Prisoners. Furthermore, since Political Prisoners end up with mandatory longer sentences, the cumulative effect is that they end up being the majority of the population.
• America’s incarceration rate is now 743 per 100k, the highest in the world.
• America locks up more people for “Drug Crimes” than all of Europe locks up for all crimes combined.
• If you go to “trial” in Federal Court, there is a 96% chance of being “convicted.” Do you really believe that only 4% are innocent?
• It is the “government’s” position that if you do not know your Rights, then you don’t have any!
• According to 27 CFR 72.11, burglary; counterfeiting; forgery; kidnapping; larceny; robbery; illegal sale or possession of weapons; prostitution; extortion; swindling; and many other things, like simple addiction to drugs or marihuana use, are considered and defined as “Commercial Crimes” where you are converted to an object for “commercial use” and Due Process of Law becomes a farce!

So, what is the solution? Learn and exercise your Rights! They are yours, do you know them? We are here to help you, however in the end it is YOU who must stand up for your Rights! Judge Alger Fee stated it very clearly in the case of US v Johnson, 76 Fed.Supp. 538, that your Rights are “neither accorded to the passive resistant, nor to the person indifferent thereto.” Furthermore Judge Fee stated that your Rights “cannot be claimed by attorney or solicitor” and are only valid “when insisted upon by a BELLIGERENT claimant in person.” His final warning was clear that “one who is persuaded by honeyed words or moral suasion to testify or produce documents… simply loses the protection” of your Rights!

What the Citizen’s Rights Task Force has to offer is NOT for the timid, but for the one who is ready to stand up and FIGHT for their Rights! If you don’t care about your Rights, go get an attorney and GO TO JAIL.

Commercial Crimes?!

This is just a quick outline of research cites that I found while trying to understand "commercial crimes" as set out in 27 CFR 72.11 below (in part).

27 CRF 72.11 purports to define some crimes as "commercial crimes":

Sec. 72.11 Meaning of terms.

As used in this part, unless the context otherwise requires, terms shall have the meanings ascribed in this section. Words in the plural form shall include the singular, and vice versa, and words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine. The terms "includes" and "including" do not exclude things not enumerated which are in the same general class.
...
Commercial crimes. Any of the following types of crimes (Federal or State): Offenses against the revenue laws; burglary; counterfeiting; forgery; kidnapping; larceny; robbery; illegal sale or possession of deadly weapons; prostitution (including soliciting, procuring, pandering, white slaving, keeping house of ill fame, and like offenses); extortion; swindling and confidence games; and attempting to commit, conspiring to commit, or compounding any of the foregoing crimes. Addiction to narcotic drugs and use of marihuana will be treated as if such were commercial crime.
...

I researched the term "commercial crime" and found next to nothing in the legal resources available to me. Some of the information I found may not be exactly on point, but it does raise reasonable questions.

If, maybe, we are all presumed (by silent judical notice) to be engaged in "commerce" and triable accordingly under "Merchant Law"/"Commercial Law", perhaps the proper administrative forum to start an administrative complaint would be the successors to the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC):

"Dear [government alphabet-soup agency]: These court folks have the crazy idea that I am somehow involved in commerce. I don't know where they got that idea. I would like a determination of status, or of activity, from you."

If we could get the alphabet-soup agency to make an administrative determination that, for whatever reason, it does not have jurisdiction because we are not engaged in commerce, then that should end the complaint by removing it from the jurisdiction of a possible "commerce court".

1. From A COMPILATION OF THE MESSAGES AND PAPERS OF THE PRESIDENTS (Bureau of National Literature, Inc., New York, 1911-1914, 1916, 1917) [Vol. XIX] Encyclopedic Index, Commerce Court:

Commerce Court.--The Mann-Elkins act of June 18, 1910, created a new judicial body known as the Commerce Court to review the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission on appeal and to expedit rate cases formerly tried in the United States Circuit Courts.
It had the same jurisdiction as Circuit Courts in (1) all cases for the enforcement, otherwise than by adjudication and collection of a forfeiture or penalty or by infliction of a criminal punishment, of any order of the Interstate Commerce Commission other than the payment of money; (2) cases brought to enjoin, set aside, annul or suspend in whole or part any order of the Interstate Commerce Commission; (3) such cases as by section three of the act entitled "An act to further regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states" approved Feb. 19, 1903, were authorized to be maintained in a Circuit Court of the United States; (4) all such mandamus proceedings as under the provisions of section twenty or section twenty-three of the act entitled "An act to regulate commerce" approved Feb. 4, 1887, as amended, were authorized to be maintained in a Circuit Court of the United States.
The jurisdiction of the Commerce Court over cases of the foregoing nature was exclusive, but the Act did not affect the jurisdiction previously possessed by any circuit or district court of the United States over cases or proceedings of a kind not lying within the above-numerated classes.
The court was abolished Oct. 22, 1913, its jurisdiction transferred to the district courts and its judges were retained as circuit judges.

From BOUVIER'S LAW DICTIONARY, Baldwin's Students Ed. (1946), p. 190:

COMMERCIAL LAW. A phrase employed to denote those branches of the law which relate to the rights of property and relations of persons engaged in commerce.

This term denotes more than the phrases "maritime law," which is sometimes used as synonymous, but which more strictly relates to shippping and its incidents.
As the subjects with which commercial law, even as administered in any one country, has to deal are dispersed throughout the globe, it results that commercial law is less local and more cosmopolitan in its character than any other great branch of municipal law; and the peculiar genius of the common law, in adapting recognized principles of right to new and ever-varying combinations of facts, has here found a field where its excellence had been more clearly shown. The various systems of commercial law have been well contrasted by Leone Levi in his collection entitled "Commercial Law, its Principles and Administration, or the Mercantile Law of Great Britain compared with the Codes and Laws of Commerce of all the Important Mercantile Countries of the Modern World, and with the Institutes of Justinian;" London, 1850-52; a work of great interest both as a contribution to the project of a mercantile code and as a manual of present use.

As to the rule in the Federal Courts, see 16 Pet. 1; id. 711; 107 U.S. 33, where Bradley, J. says, "Where the law has not been settled, it is the right and duty of the Federal Courts to exercise their own judgment, as they also always do in reference to the doctrines of commercial law." See 12 Am. L. Reg. (N. S.) 473; United States Courts.
