“Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.”

“The state remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well-disposed, industrious and decent men.”
~ H.L. Mencken
“Our, the American People’s” media coverage on trade war (tariff/trade taxes) prospects is not lessening. Recent articles report business Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) are warning President-to-be Donald J. Trump pending tariffs will mean higher prices for consumers, a not good thing. Articles also note an agriculture expert claims farmers stand to lose by Chino-U.S. trade tax (tariff) bickering.
“The only kind of freedom that the mob can imagine is freedom to annoy and oppress its betters, and that is precisely the kind that we mainly have.”
~ H.L. Mencken
“We, the American People,” if we decide to exercise our sovereign citizenry authority, could put a kibosh to tariffs – all taxes – disrupting our socio-economic stability. Tariffs – any arbitrary taxes – make for consumer instability. Stopping government from exerting ideological authority in market business can help. Market traders barter for mutual benefit. Government regulation defines benefit.
“I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave.”
~ H.L. Mencken
Expecting Government Regulators to make trade tax (tariff) decisions with consumer benefit foremost is, at best, wishful thinking. Government, first and foremost, makes decision to benefit government. Government power brokers are not going to let power go without a fight. No reason why consumers ought not win such a fight. Consumers are every bit as smart as government legislators and regulators.
“Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule – and both commonly succeed, and are right.”
~ H.L. Mencken
Socio-Economic Instability And Stress will be with “Us, the American People” unless and until we stop America’s legislators from making laws favoring some socio-econimic special interest groups over others. Legislators can be expected to pass and enact laws putting legislators in good standing with voters casting most votes. Free markets operate to remove legislative bias from socio-economics.
“Democracy is the art of running the circus from the monkey cage.”
~ H.L. Mencken
People Intending To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to enter into contracts with collective bargaining units. They uphold citizen sovereignty to prevent government from imposing debt-laden defined benefit contracts.
“Imagine the Creator as a low comedian, and at once the world becomes explicable.”

Dear lawyers, journalists, professors, experts, students, and Advocates of Honest Judiciaries,
1. This is a proposal to prosecute cases jointly as class actions on behalf of sizable segments of the national public, doing so in our personal as well as the public interest. These cases are described in the below short blurbs and the longer abstracts of the detailed articles to which they refer.
2. The cases are of interest to all of you because they involve abuse of power by public officers. The proposed publication of the articles, their presentation at press conferences, and their prosecution as class actions are intended to expose the abuse to hold the abusers accountable, demand collective compensation for the abusees, and launch transformative reform of the system of justice.
3. This proposal for professionals to form a team as needed to prosecute each case and for abusees to join the respective class action is realistic, for it recognizes the substantial amount of effort, time, and money required for its implementation. In this vein, it is pertinent to consider that:
a. ‘Scandal sells’ and can win Pulitzer Prizes. Indeed, ProPublica won this year’s Pulitzer for Public Service for its investigative work that in a series of articles exposed corruption between justices of the U.S. Supreme Court and ‘friends of the justices’.
b. Martin Luther King said in effect that ‘abuse tolerated of someone leads to abuse inflicted on everyone’.
c. Successful class actions with counts under RICO -Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act; 18 U.S.C. §§1961 to 1968- and their state counterparts -e.g., NY Enterprise Corruption– can lead to settlements of $10s of millions, the award of compensatory and punitive damages, treble damages, attorneys’ fees, a significant reputational enhancement, a bestseller, a blockbuster movie, a tour of presentations, an influx of new clients, etc.
4. The blurbs and the abstracts contain links to articles that I already wrote and you all can review. My articles have proved their appeal for the public: I have posted some of them to my website, Judicial Discipline Reform, at http://www.Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org. They have attracted so many webvisitors and elicited such a positive reaction that as of 27 November 2024, the number of visitors who had become subscribers was 52,654 and counting. How many law firms, let alone individual lawyers, do you know that have a website with so many subscribers?
5. I have written many other articles(§A♠) cum chapters of my three-volume study of judges and their judiciaries, the product of my professional law research and writing, and strategic thinking. They propose action that lawyers and lay people can take severally and jointly. The study is titled thus:
Exposing Judges’ Unaccountability and
Consequent Riskless Abuse of Power:
Pioneering the news and publishing field of
judicial unaccountability reporting* † ♣
6. The site, the study, and the articles support the several proposals for a journalistic, business, and academic joint venture, including:
a. the serial publication of the key articles of my cases, which I can edit as requested, simultaneously with the further investigation of the cases, which will be facilitated by the leads that I have gathered, e.g., OL:194§E and the articles referred to in the blurbs and abstracts;
b. the creation of a new form of journalism: representative journalism. It will enable you to leverage your knowledge of the main players in the class action bar and other fields to put together ad hoc teams of lawyers, journalists, multidisciplinary experts, and media and academic entities that have the necessary investigative and financial resources and expertise to:
1) represent the abusees -e.g., those in my cases- in class actions with civil RICO counts against big unaccountable abusive entities;
2) lobby on their behalf in Congress, and state and local lawmaking bodies for official investigations, legislation, and law enforcement;
3) challenge the Establishment in the name of millions who individually lack the means of defending their rights, but whose strength in numbers representative journalism turns into a force to be reckoned with: a new powerhouse of American governance;
4) grow the readership, revenue, and reputation of representative journalists and their team members who engage in concrete actions guided by the principle “Making Money While Doing Justice”;
c. the development of my site from a news and analytical platform into an independent, self-sustaining commercial undertaking that acts as a watchdog to advance the public interest.
1) Already attracted to my website, the subscribers to it constitute the initial client base of the site developed to run as do so many others that apply the TV and radio business model: You give viewers and listeners appealing programming or your basic goods and services for free, and charge a fee for premium ones and for carrying the ads of sellers of related goods and services, such as books, webinars, conferences, transportation and hotel accommodations, trial services, briefs preparing and serving, etc.
d. the holding by academe and the media of unprecedented citizens hearings:
1) to be moderated by journalists and professors at university auditoriums and broadcasting stations;
2) to allow people to tell in person or via video conference accessible to the national public their stories of the abuse by public entities that they have suffered or witnessed;
3) to present the moderators’ report on the citizens hearings at the first national conference on public officers’ unaccountability and riskless abuse of power;
4) to turn the report into the first edition of the Annual Report of Abuse of Power in America;
e. the creation of the Institute of Judicial Unaccountability Reporting and Reform Advocacy, to be:
1) attached to a preeminent university or a national media network; and
2) run as a for-profit research, publishing, teaching, and public interest litigating and lobbying entity; etc.
7. I offer to present to you and your guests this proposal in person if in New York City, and anywhere else if my expenses and fee are paid; otherwise, via video conference. Please call me at 1(718)827-9521 to make appropriate arrangements.
Dare shout “I accuse!”
You may trigger history and even enter it as

“A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker.”
~ H.L. Mencken
“Our, the American People’s” media tenders up stories of Election 2024 losers groping to deal with their anguish, resentment, anger, desperation. Stories have a common theme of failed attempts to have government impose standards of conduct they (Election 2024 losers) would exert, had they scepters to have everyone act as they wish. Liberty is a demanding taskmaster – treat as you would be treated.
“All government, of course, is against liberty.”
~ H.L. Mencken
“We, the American People” are destined to be politically frustrated, angry, despondent unless and until we stop government from making socio-economic winners and losers. Legislators are powerless to bring about socio-economic harmony. No law can assure everyone gets to have everything they want, or, stop people from whom property (wealth) is taken and choice (Liberty) restricted for political aims.
“I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.”
~ H. L. Mencken
Election 2024 Outcomes Are Likely to be analyzed for causes until America’s proverbial cows come home to their barns. Winners are sure to say they won because voters were fed up with existing office holders. Losers are sure to claim they lost because voters did not get their message essence. Both camps will set sights on coming elections with strategies to assure they topple or tighten authority.
“If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.”
~ H.L. Mencken, epitaph
Political Grappling Has Been Around long enough for legislators to refine their strategy and tactics for holding fast control over people’s property (wealth) and choice (Liberty). To extents possible, political power held by “Us, the American People” can minimize detrimental impact on election losers and detrimental impact wielded by election winners. By devolving lawful authority to voter control.
“I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years.”
~ H.L. Mencken
People Committed To Living In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to set limits on interest earned or charged in any financial transaction between private citizens or between private citizens and any financial institution or company not backed by public money. They uphold citizen sovereignty and self-government.
“It is the theory of all modern civilized governments that they protect and foster the liberty of the citizen; it is the practice of all of them to limit its exercise, and sometimes very narrowly.”

“The only guarantee of the Bill of Rights which continues to have any force and effect is the one prohibiting quartering troops on citizens in time of peace. All the rest have been disposed of by judicial interpretation and legislative whittling.”
~ H.L. Mencken
Drama And Political Hostility are gaining momentum as President-to-be Donald J. Trump nears his accession day. “Our, the American People’s” media streams are loaded with accounts of coming retribution promised by likely Trump nominees. Mayoral defiance on deportation. And Congressional House Speaker Johnson wanting President Joe Biden to quash unnecessary Trump appointees targeting.
“The highfalutin aims of democracy, whether real or imaginary, are always assumed to be identical with its achievements. This, of course, is sheer hallucination. ”
~ H.L. Mencken
“We, the American People” believing there will be a smooth post Election 2024 political power transition might as well chase rainbows in hopes of finding gold-laden pots at rainbow ends. Legislators don’t seek office to have a love fest with legislators. Legislators seek office to get their hooks in how legislation will let them confiscate property (wealth) and restrict choice (Liberty).
“The chief difference between free capitalism and State socialism seems to be this: that under the former a man pursues his own advantage openly, frankly and honestly, whereas under the latter he does so hypocritically and under false pretenses.”
~ H.L. Mencken
When Prospective High-Level President-to be Donald J. Trump appointees make noises about visiting
reprisal on people they (prospective appointees) find treasonous, we’re in for tenuous times once President-to-be Donald J. Trump is President Trump. Politics is bad enough with never-ending fights for who gets to have lawful power. Election winners acting like they are despots makes people uneasy.
“My old suggestion that public offices be filled by drawing lots, as a jury box is filled, was probably more intelligent than I suspected.”
~ H.L. Mencken
Might Be A Blessing In Disguise for “Us, the American People” if Congress and America’s new federal administration are at odds. Next best thing to fewer people wielding lawful power is those same people locked in political gridlock. Chips down, our lawmakers have no power not accepted by “Us, the American People.” We can, if we choose, force every one to pick up their marbles and vamoose.
“All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them.”
~ H.L. Mencken
People Determined To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to interfere or impose in any way with how responsible citizens choose to use their private property. They protect their property against government intrusion – with force if necessary.
“The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on ‘I am not too sure’.”
