Armstrong Economics – by Martin Armstrong
Well it has been a long time coming, but all along there have been discussions behind closed doors (never in public) that the Administrative Law Courts established with the New Deal were totally unfounded and unconstitutional. With the anniversary of Magna Carta and the right to a jury trial coming up on June 15 after 800 years, the era of Roosevelt’s big government is quietly unraveling.
A federal judge’s ruling against the Securities and Exchange Commission for using its own Administrative Law judges in an insider trading case is perhaps the beginning of the end of an alternative system of justice that took root in the New Deal. Constitutionally, the socialists tore everything about the idea of a Democracy apart. It was more than taxing one party to the cheers of another in denial of equal protection. It was about creating administrative agencies (1) delegating them to create rules with the force of law as if passed by Congress sanctioned by the people; (2) the creation of administrative courts that defeated the Tripartite government structure usurping all power into the hand of the executive branch, as if this were a dictatorship run by the great hoard of unelected officials.
Not discussed in the coverage of this story is that the Administrative Law Courts are a fiefdom, to put it mildly. They have long been corrupt and traditionally rule in favor of their agencies, making it very costly for anyone to even try to defend themselves. If someone were to attempt this feat, first they have to wear the costs of an Administration proceeding and appeal to an Article III court judge, then they must appeal to the Court of Appeals, and finally plea to the Supreme Court. The cost of such adventures is well into the millions, and good luck on actually getting justice.
Furthermore, Administrative Law Courts cannot sentence you to prison, but they can fine you into bankruptcy. So the lack of a criminal prosecution meant the judges did not have to be lawyers. They could be anyone’s brother-in-law looking for a job where he just rules in favor of the agency not to be bothered with law. Unless the victim has a pile of money, there is no real chance that he or she can afford to defend themselves. This is why the agencies cut deals with the big houses and prosecute the small upstarts who lack the funds to defend themselves.
In a 45-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May in Atlanta issued an injunction halting Administrative Law proceedings against Charles Hill, a businessman who the SEC accused of reaping an illegal $744,000 profit trading in Radian Systems stock. This is typical. The legal fees involved will exceed the amount of money he is alleged to have made, the typical result is to just pay the fine and they go away, it is cheaper.
The judge ruled that the SEC agency violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution by subjecting Hill to proceedings before an Administrative Law judge, who isn’t directly accountable to the president, officials in charge of the SEC, or the courts under Article III. The ruling is 81 years overdue. The entire structure of administrative agencies blackmailing people has been outrageous. Then you take the banks who just entered a plea of CRIMINALLY guilty to manipulating markets. They are now formally FELONS who engaged in violating SEC rules and thus under the SEC rules, they are no longer eligible for a banking license. The banks are “too big to jail” and the SEC has waived their own rules, of course, to exempt the banks. So they can engage in fraud and manipulation, get caught, pay billions in fines, and the SEC exempts them from losing their licenses. This is how corrupt the administrative agencies really are.
This new decision calling the Administrative Law Courts what they really are is reminiscent of the notorious extrajudicial proceedings of the Star Chamber operated by King James I. The court of Chancery set up outside of the King’s Bench, so there were no trials by jury. It had the same purpose, to circumvent the law. This is where our Fifth Amendment privilege came into being. That came about following the trial of John Lilburne (1615-1657) for handing out a pamphlet the government did not like.
The Miranda v Arizona 384 U.S. 436 (1966) decision of the Supreme Court came only after decades of abuse by American police against citizens, not unlike what we are watching today. The Miranda decision is hated by police, prosecutors, right-wing judges, politicians, and citizens. The decision is based upon the history of the right not to be coerced that began with the famous trial of John Lilburn before the English court of the Star Chamber in 1637 where he stood tall and objected to the King’s torture. Lilburn’s crime was handing out pamphlets against the king. John Lilburne (1615–1657) was a leader in the Leveller Movement of the 1640s and was a prolific pamphleteer who defended religious and individual liberty of the people. He was imprisoned many times for his views and was active in the army of the New Parliament rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. In October 1649, he was arrested and tried for High Treason for printing and circulating books and pamphlets critical of the government but was acquitted of all charges by a jury of his peers.
im sorry, but there will be no closing the cash cow willingly………..
And folks wonder why me and so many others have become so damned cynical when it comes to anyone in the govt. changing anything. My advice? Get out of the system as much as you can and do it clandestinely–trust no one.
Baton Rouge
Shootings at cops , not sure if suspect caught or not at this time or extent of injuries
Looking for link
Can anyone confirm the use of ms13 killing of police?
Latest shooting in baton rouge states 7 cops shot 3 dead.
I wonder where NATO fits into all this.
Remember, world government requires governments of the worlds cooperation so when you here rumors of war, you know, that’s constantly drilled into our heads.
It means they’ve had enough of our shit.
It took them 81 years to figure this out?
I think TPTB are really starting to fear losing their heads, and they’re ceding a little power to avoid a revolution. They’ve locked up a few cops, and they may even throw Hillary to the dogs to aid the illusion of justice, because they don’t want to lose the whole candy store to save a few gumballs.
As long as they remain in control, they’re stealing billions in resources, and they still have our military to fight Israel’s wars. They’re not going to throw that away to save a few of their puppets, so if they sense that the population is on the verge of revolt, they’re going to back off a bit, and try to appease them.
Was just saying the same thing to my kid on our way to the building supply store this morning
Yes , wake your kids up too people ,
It’s not good to hide the truth from them
It might just save their life
Has anyone else heard about the bullet stickers used in the Lebullshit France attack or the refrigerated truck?
Trying to keep up with what’s real and what isn’t is definitely a mind fu##.
Better late than never…? 🙄
Taking 81 years to reach this conclusions seems long but, the courts can’t act on any issue even if they are aware of it unless and until, someone brings a case. Could it be that this is the first case of this nature concerning the Appointments Clause in the Constitution ? ? ?
HELL……….. GET YOUR ASS PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING, THEN BRING THIS SHIT UP TO THAT “JUDGE”. THEY ARE SURE TO JUST DISMISS THE CASE…….
“Your Honor. This case is in clear violation of the Appointments Clause.” The only thing wrong with bringing that up is that the Administrative Clerks (ALL of today’s judges) don’t allow you to bring up the Constitution. If you do, it’s contempt of court. But if you can’t bring up the Constitution in a court of law, then there is no law.
Its not that you cant bring up the Constitution its how you go in as a natural or legal person and whether or not youve accepted their oaths/contracts or trust indenture properly and entered it as evidence along with a certified copy of a state and federal Constitution into the court.
if that sounds a little too crazy you can always bring up frcp 5.1a and raise a constitutional question regarding the constitutionality of specific statutes and codes they are raising against you.
Does this mean that court cases will now be re-tried?
is it me or is there no case?
The cases are Timbervest LLC et al. v. SEC, case number 1:15-cv-02106; Charles L. Hill Jr. v. SEC, case number 1:15-cv-01801; and Gray Financial Group Inc. et al. v. SEC, case number 1:15-cv-00492, all in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
The only case I can find is an APPEAL where the 11th Circuit ruled the SEC can proceed with their administrative crap. I didn’t think a single little District Court Judge (not to demean her but she’s just there to do her “job”) could upset the apple cart like that.
The 6-17-2016 ruling is at: http://media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/files/201512831.pdf
If there is a newer Order from the District Court, I’d like to see it. Anyone can e-mail me in care of: chart (dot) wizard (at) yahoo.com
Thanks!

Um, no socialist are not tearing the Democracy apart, democracy is a socialist form of government. People need to remember we are NOT a democracy, we are a republic, the same one you pledged allegiance to.
A democracy is apolitical system where one person has one vote and that vote should be respected. In a virtual 2 party state as in the USA a sizeable proportion of the voters have their views ignored. To complain is to be labled un-american in the way of the McCarthy era of the 1950’s.
To hold a left of centre political view does not make you un-patriotic.
To lable people you disagree with un-patriotic only shows how in-patriotic you are.
