...the addendum to the above (which is to be found here) holds the conclusion.
Remember ya'll: Jurisdiction can't possibly be derived from man made law, because naturally there needs to be jurisdiction first for man made law to apply - pretty straight forward stuff, eh ![]() Greetings, Res Nullius |

"God's Law" is just another interpretation by men. The champions of positive law have always tried to use it for the purpose of legitimizing state law. Not for no reason is "god" mentioned in pretty much all constitutions around the world (which has nothing to do with religion btw). So I maintain: When it comes down to it, there is absolutely nothing do derive jurisdiction from. No god's law, no ius gentium, and no ius non scriptum!
The system would not exist without our beliefs, which is why it is nothing but a state of mind! A little side note: I was quite surprised to see the (mostly positive) debate you guys had going on the last page of this thread (I've been used to collective shoulder padding for the best -inept- ridicule). I'm hoping you'll be able to uphold this standard, for it can only bring positive. I'll be back in a few weeks. We'll see what will happen till then. |

But not as straightforward as "Jurisdiction exists Quia Ego Sic Dico" - which is ultimately the source of all law among men. |

Going somewhat off-thread here - perhaps I have missed something in your reference (and my apologies if I have) but why should anyone take this seriously when the addendum contains a statement such as:
"In addition quantum physics has shown us that all matter is essentially non-existent at the fundamental level the only thing which actually exists is electro-magnetic energy, which science remains unable to properly break down and explain in any comprehensive way." IMHO physics has not shown this at all. |

Are you suggesting that governance is based on despotism, blasphemy and contempt of man kind? Let me tell you: If that was the case, there would be no need for legal philosophy. Most governments actually do want to appear legitimate, which is why phrases such as the quoted one above have no place in jurisprudence whatsoever. And just because you write something in Latin doesn't make it a declarative of substance.

Why would you want comments on a book you can't comment on yourself?

Ignoring your inflammatory language, the answer is, essentially, "Yes". All governments, from the earliest city-states of Mesopotamia, up to our modern nations, ultimately derive their jurisdiction through their ability to physically control their territory, using force if necessary. In fact, "That entity which has sole right to legitimate use of force" is a good operating definition of "government" accepted by many people. The issue of "appearing legitimate" that you bring up is secondary to that. How you appear legitimate has changed over time. It once was, "I'm the toughest Bastard in Town", became over time, "I'm Divinely selected to be King!", and is now, in our case at least, "I was elected by a majority of the people!", but those various mechanisms for determining who has the monopoly on the legitimate use of force don't change the fact that they still, ultimately, have that monopoly. But even in our case, remember that the tyranny of the majority still exists. If you engage in activities that a majority of your society deem to be reprehensible, they can (and often will) create laws to compel you to act differently, and use force to apply those laws to you. And you can whine about "despotism" all you like, but that won't change the essential facts of how the world really operates. |

We haven't lost 'Lordbobhaulk' to the evil 'Ickian' empire. I think he's saying (not wanting to speak for the man himself) that we should play the 'ball rather than then man'. If this is indeed his stance I'm inclined to agree.
There are skeptics who have remained on the Icke forum for significant periods of time without being banned - Mickelmas, Rumpole, Rumpelstiltskin & Solzhenitsyn spring to mind. you might want to ask yourself why they've survived whereas you & your various 'nome de plume' have been consistently banned? |

the ball is the man when it's what the man believes.
and even if the ball and man are separate, they still don't like someone pointing out their ball doesn't bounce. |

I even posted as a staunch freeman (steven1) and was banned. http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135068 Did I do anything wrong in that thread? I seem to get under Menard's skin more than most, probably because of my approach so should I really change it. With regards playing the ball rather than the man, the ball has been dealt with already, its the man that now needs removing because he keeps bringing the same ball back again. I think of him as a cancer thats been reduced with chemo , now its time for surgery to remove it completely. |

To be fair, that's because the people you named have not really angered the inmates in the asylum by demonstrating to them on a daily basis why they are wrong. JB is banned because he does so - the people you mention certain provide rational skepticism but they are rather restrained. JB hasn't done anything to break any of the rules of the forum from what I've seen, he just provides a bit to much truth for the Robert Menard who has a bit of a personal crusade against him and him alone.
JB's posting style has been so marvelously obvious in terms of highlighting why FOTL fails that they simply can't take it. Thats all there is to it. |

You were banned from Icke's weren't you LiD?
Your posts were always courteous and never broke any forum rules did they? Or did I miss some?

jake dale who posted as thomas j did more in his short time on Ickes to destroy Menard as anyone.
he did not break any forum rules at all, not one. The mods at Ickes could see Menard unraveling in front of their eyes so put a stop to it. thats another reason why I go back, its the corruption on the site. |

Yeah, I got banned because I gave them my Political Science 101 example of why "I don't consent" fails in reality: fire protection. I made a long post highlighting how, in FOTL utopia where people could decline to pay for fire protection by not paying taxes and that ACTUALLY MEANT we wouldn't put out their house fires that in a urban setting it would lead to the entire neighborhood on fire (since fire spreads when not put out). It demonstrated that FOTL utopia cannot exist because decisions to "decline consent" are not in vacuum. If I remember correctly they got hysterical rather quick on that one and I was banned in short order after I demonstrated the same thing AGAIN with the "community fishing pool" (tragedy of the commons example).
All it takes is freshmen college level concepts to debunk FOTL, and they don't like it when you do...if you easily dismiss one of their core concepts with something that they can't refute Rob and girlgye go crying to the moderators until your banned. |

The problem is you are working under the false assumption that the FOTL forum exists as a place for free debate and discussion about the ideas of FOTL and their validity when acted on in a real life situation, when in fact the whole reason for the forums existence is to entice the gullible into the world of FOTL, to advertise the wares of RM and to boost the egos of the senior members some of who have suffered for their beliefs and now feel the need to tell the world of their 'successes'. So by pointing out in simple terms how their beliefs are false you are breaking the unwritten rule of the forum, the truth is out there and out there it will stay there is no place for it in the FOTL forum.

Yes, I remember that.
But I saw no contravention of forum rules in your posts.
Quote:
Did you receive continual warnings previously, or was it similar to my own situation? When I was banned (the same night as you and others) I had no points but they just said that I was banned for "no reason given". I assume it was because I disagreed with them too, and they don't like that.
Quote:
I did find that when Menard was logged on and I clicked on his profile to see his "current activity" it said with an alarming frequency: "reporting a post". |

I never saw any contraventions either, but there is a definite correlation between warnings/bannings and those who don't toe the party line. I bear direct witness to it as well.
Makes even more of a mockery of it. If their response to robust points of argument is to get people banned rather than address the issues, it shows how weak their position is to start with |

Menard has loaded & cocked the gun, handed it to Mr Bonds & invited him to blow his brains out.
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...84&postcount=9 Needless to say there are no common law defences available for Mr Bonds and certainly not the one of 'show me the party or contract is still applicable' (whatever that is). His best chance is a grovelling apology. Menard of course is sitting pretty 3,000 + miles away while this chump is looking at prison time. His imput is grossly irresponsible. As far as I'm aware he know nothing of Criminal Law in England & Wales & has no place giving advice to a foolish young man who has got himself in serious trouble. |

And if gynet does end up in prison it will reinforce his belief that the courts are corrupt and that FOTL theory is correct.
There is no way to help these people. For some unknown reason they read a few suspect websites on t'internet and fall for it hook line and sinker without any evidence whatsoever and refuse to see reality. There's some strange people about.... |

Changing the subject - and this will please JB I'm sure - I see that merlincove has returned as a moderator on Ickes. That'll keep things nicely balanced I'm sure.
That should please Gob Menard, who I see has just reported a perfectly OK post - http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...6&postcount=55. I wonder if another round of bannings is just around the corner. The lunatics need to keep in charge of the asylum after all. |
