Title 18 REAL Federal Crimes (& case law)

Title 18 - Federal Crimes
case law and Jurisdictional Scope Under Rule 1

Title 18 - Federal Crimes

This can be confirmed if one reviews Title 18, Federal Crimes. ALL crimes against the United States are spelled out in Title 18 (Chapters 1 through 121). In order to be a legitimate, lawful, and valid (Constitutional) criminal charge by the Federal Government against an individual, the violation of the laws in the other Titles must be linked to a crime listed and spelled out in Title 18. There is no such link for alleged Title 26 violations.

It is a fact that there are only three Federal crimes provided for in the Constitution: treason, piracy and counterfeit. The Interstate Commerce Act has been used to expand the authority of the Federal government over inter-state activities, But Title 26 charges do not relate to interstate activities.

The Federal crimes provided for by Title 18 (POSITIVE LAW) include:

Now you show me tax crimes provided in Title 18 - FEDERAL CRIMES.

Case Law and Jurisdictional Scope Under Rule 1

The record of court actions, called case law, shows how U.S. judges have imposed their personal (rather than LAWFUL) discretion and opinions upon persons through the corrupt process of making "new law" under "personal" precedent and not lawful or judicial precedent. In so doing they ignore Due Process of Law and make it possible to illegally control the lives, liberties and property of naive/ignorant persons present in the courtroom, who do NOT understand the legal limitations imposed on the Federal government by our Constitution, or who, for some unstated reason, choose not to make those limitations part of their defense arguments before the jury. Case law is only binding on the litigants in the case out of which the ruling comes. Case law cannot be expanded to apply to other complaints or cases because Article I says "ALL legislative powers shall be vested in a Congress", which of course means that judges can't create or make up new laws as they have been wrongfully doing. Only Congress can make new law, or alter existing law. (It does say "all legislative powers", NOT 'some' or 'most'.)

Rule 1. Scope

Rule 1. Scope.

These rules govern the procedure in all criminal proceedings in the courts of the United States as defined in Rule 54(c);...

The term "Courts of the United States" is not specifically defined so Rule 1 puts us on notice that the scope of the criminal proceedings cognizable in the Courts of the United States is found in the definitions in Rule 54(c). Ommitting irrelevant definitions, Rule 54(c) states:

Rule 54(c) Application of terms. As used in these rules the following terms have the designated meanings.

"Act of Congress" includes any act of Congress locally applicable to and in force in the District of Columbia, in Puerto Rico, in a territory or in an insular possession.

"Federal Magistrate" means a United States magistrate as defined in 28 USC Sec. 631-639. a judge of the United States or another judge or judicial officer specifically empowered by statute in force in any territory or possession, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia, to perform a function to which a particular rule relates.

"Judge of the United States" includes a judge of a district court, court of appeals,or the Supreme Court.

"Law" includes statutes and judicial decisions.

"State" includes District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, territory and insular possessions. =====================

Were you in any of these places ?

By use of the word "includes" in the definition of "State" those areas NOT listed are EXCLUDED. This means that not one of the fifty States is included in this definiton of the term "State". With this we are told that criminal proceedings in the courts of the United States are limited to the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and a territory or in an insular possession; which is backed by the definition of "Act of Congress" and confirms the knowledge of the U.S. courts that Congress is limited to making laws applicable to its own employees and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, territories and insular possessions of the United States government.

I know that this is not what attorneys are taught to argue, but this is what they should be arguing in defense of their clients' best interests, rather than allow the government its presumption of authority.
