Reflections based on thirteen years in Federal Bankruptcy Court and NY Supreme and NJ Superior State Courts, and the expenditure of in excess of $1.6 million: “WITHOUT TRUTH THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE; WITHOUT JUSTICE THE TRUTH BECOMES IRRELEVANT.” Being a Nation ruled by “law”, the greatest danger to the future of America and to the preservation of our individual freedoms is from within our borders, from those who make the laws (Congress), those who enforce the laws (attorneys, judges, courts), and those who administer the laws (President and Chief Executive, commander of the US Armed Forces) governing these United States. This noble experiment of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, rather than being governed by a king or monarch who inherited or usurped such powers, staked its future on the “rule of law”, rather than “rule by birth” or “rule by might”. For America’s first 150 years, “Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Law” were used in Courts, the US Senate, and prestigious law schools to define the law and train persons therein throughout America. Blackstone taught that common law evolved from God, whose laws were absolute, and that no human laws were of any validity if contrary to the Holy Scriptures (the Bible). In 1930 “Blackstone’s Commentaries” were discontinued as the governing source documents in US Law Schools, in favor of the “Case Law” approach, whereby US Laws and the US Constitution would be interpreted in an “evolving” manner based on “trends” in prior court decisions, rather than by Almighty God’s ultimate authority as envisioned by the Founding Fathers. This book, (based upon the Author’s 13 years as a volunteer seeking to address a bondholder grievance), is written to clearly reveal the extremely dangerous and destructive legal rulings and procedures evolving from substituting human authority/judgment for God’s, resulting in a legal system which no longer seeks truth and justice as its primary objective, but simply oversees an “adversarial competition” favoring the guilty under the guise of fairness or legal necessity. The Author carefully chronicles his extended 13-year court experiences, to identify what he believes is both the root cause of our current major problems in the U.S. and the primary reason for the now diminishing prior greatness of these United States of America: REPLACING “THE BIBLE” AND “THE CONSTITUTION” AS THE BASIS OF U.S. LAW AND ORDER, WITH EVOLVING HUMAN VALUES. Just as the Israelites replaced God’s simple “Truths” with a “human” set of extensive rules and requirements to inherit Heaven (which actions led to their downfall), so the US Congress, Courts, and Presidential Administrations have created literally thousands of laws, rules, regulations, precedents, executive orders, bureaucratic pronouncements, etc. significantly weakening and clouding the God-inspired simple principles of our Founding Fathers. In Chapter 13: Summary of Lessons Learned, the Author sets forth “Five Guiding Principles” which he believes can return America to its role as God’s “light on the hill”, to share “the way” with the rest of the world. With all due respect, the Author believes the key US problem today is not the “economy” – and whether it has “cyclical” or “structural” problems – but the deterioration of the moral and character values of individual voting Americans, from thos
