26. Why don’t I want a Lawyer?

"The right of a person under the 5th Amendment to refuse 
to incriminate himself is purely a personal privilege of the 
witness. It was never intended to permit him to plead the 
fact that some third person might be incriminated by his 
testimony, even though he was the agent of such person." -- 
Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43. 
Not only that, but if you allow anyone to "represent you", 
instead of being "the belligerent claimant in person" (Hale v 
Henkel, i.s.c.), you become a "ward of the court". Why? 
Because obviously, if someone else has to defend your rights 
for you, you must be incompetent! Clients are called 
"wards" of the court in regard to their relationship with 
their attorneys. See a copy of "Regarding Lawyer Discipline 
& Other Rules", as well as Canons 1 through 9. 
Also, see Corpus Juris Secundum (CJS), Volume 7, 
Section 4, Attorney & client:  
 
"The attorney's first duty is to the courts and the public, not 
to the client and wherever the duties to his client conflict 
with those he owes as an officer of the court in the 
administration of justice, the former must yield to the 
latter."

Lord Yeshua the Christ said in Luke 11:52 
"Woe unto you lawyers for ye have taken away the key of 
knowledge; ye entered not in yourselves, and them that 
were entering in ye hindered." 
 
And also in Matt 23:13,33 (NIV)  
"You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You 
yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are 
trying to ...  How will you escape being condemned to hell?" 
 
“A lawyer cannot claim that you have rights.” U.S. v. 
Johnson, 76 F. Supp. 538

Lawyers cannot defend your rights because they are 
franchisees of the English bar association, a corporation 
that licenses its franchisees and regulates their activities. 
All a lawyer can do is get the master of the ship to go easy 
on you if you confess to the fiction claim against you. A 
lawyer will not help you prove your sovereignty for fear of 
being disbarred. The United States Supreme Court has 
ruled that the only person who can claim his rights is the 
belligerent claimant in person. To effectively accomplish 
this you must be able to establish the record with certifiable 
knowledge of the law.

“The privilege against self-incrimination is neither accorded 
to the passive resistant [Jesus style], nor the person who is 
ignorant of his rights, nor to one indifferent thereto. It is a 
fighting clause. Its benefits can be retained only by 
sustained combat. It can not be retained by attorney or 
solicitor. It is valid only when insisted upon by a belligerent 
claimant in person...once he testifies to part, he has waived 
his...he must refuse to answer or produce, and test the 
matter in contempt proceedings, or by habeas corpus.”  
US v Johnson, 76 F. Supp 538, 540 (1947). 
The "Real-World" Example: 
 
The  Frederick, Maryland kidnapping of the baby:  We can 
recall from the Lawrence case that this girl has cross 
examined cops before, and knows how to enter evidence to 
the record of the court. So she went into the FREDERICK, 
MARYLAND DISTRICT JUVENILE COURT with a script 
and a game-plan.   
 
The judge asked four times consecutively, “Are you sure you 
don’t want a court appointed attorney???”

Her only reply was “That she was with TITLE 42 SEC. 
1986 certifiable knowledge of the law and that she will 
be representing the name on the docket of the court.”  
 
The Attorney for the state went blah, blah, blah, and when 
the young Mother cross-examined the cops she ripped the 
cop to shreds like a Momma eagle feeds little strips of 
bloody rabbit flesh to her baby eagles. She turned it into a 
trial of the State where the cop confessed that he committed 
at least two felonies. She asked him these questions: 
 
1. State your name. 
2. What’s your badge number? 
3. What’s your rank?  
4. Who do you work for?  
5. How do you get paid? 
6. Is that in the form of a bank check, direct deposit?  
7. Would that be considered commerce?  
8. When you were hired, did you take an oath to 
uphold the Constitution for the United States of 
America?  
 
Right about there is where the State’s case started breaking 
down, because the cop said, “I took an oath but I don’t know 
if it was for America.” – busted!!! --The judge stepped in and 
said “every public servant has to take an oath! Did you get a 
warrant to enter the motor home?!?” and “This is a perfectly 
competent mother with more care and attention to detail 
than any other I’ve ever seen. I’m going to order that the 
State release the child back to the mother immediately.”  
Co-incidentally, the Attorney for the State approached me 
and said that he had spent quite a bit of time at my web 
site and he handed me a hardbound copy of “Constitutional 
Law” from his personal library.

The judge’s personal assistant found the Mom at a 
restaurant later that day and spent half an hour with her 
                          The Sovereign Citizen’s Handbook 
over lunch just to tell her that the judge was totally 
impressed, and that has never happened in the history of 
FREDERICK, MARYLAND DISTRICT JUVENILE 
COURT with the suspended rules where anything the judge 
says goes. She said that the STATE always holds a child for 
a minimum of 30 days and that  this is the first time in the 
court’s history that any one has ever proven that the 
STATE has no claim, Especially a 22-year old single mom.  
 
I guran-freakin-tee that a lawyer won’t do that for you!   
 
So fire him and move on to the next section!
