Ben Swann Announces "JUST US" Jury Nullification:


 
Please take our short survey. (Click Here)

“Juries have the power to judge the facts of the case as well as the law itself.”

WHO WE ARE:

“Just Us” is a coalition of media and activists working together to encourage the American public to take up its civil responsibility to serve as jurors. We recognize that too many Americans run from their responsibility to serve as jurors. Our goal is to remind the public of its responsibility to sign up for jury duty. Once you are on a jury, remember that you have the responsibility to not only judge the facts of the case but to also judge the law itself. This process is known as jury nullification.

WHAT IS JURY NULLIFICATION:

You get to vote when you serve on a Grand Jury and you get to vote when you serve on a regular Trial Jury. Big deal? These two votes are much more important than most citizens realize because they permit a juror to nullify bad law, referred to as ‘Jury lawlessness.’ In US vs Dougherty, 473 F 2nd 1130 we read, “Jury lawlessness is the greatest corrective of law in its actual administration. The will of the state at large imposed on a reluctant community, the will of a majority imposed on a vigorous and determined minority, find the same obstacle in the local jury that formerly confronted kings and ministers.” Jefferson said, “I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its Constitution.”

The honorable Theo. Parsons at the MA convention of 1788 answering concerns that the proposed US Constitution had as yet no Bill of Rights replied: “The people themselves have it in their power effectually to resist usurpation, without being driven to an appeal to arms…Let him be considered as a criminal by the general government, yet only his fellow citizens can convict him; they are his jury, and if they pronounce him innocent, not all the powers of Congress can hurt him; and innocent they certainly will pronounce him if the supposed law he resisted was an act of usurpation.” (2 Elliot’s Debates, 94; Bancroft, History of the Constitution, 267).

This principle was put into action before the Civil War when some who helped slaves escape to freedom were brought to trial having violated the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The juries back then knew that the Constitution gave them the right to judge the law as well as the accused person. When jury after jury responded “NOT GUILTY” in spite of the evidence, the judge’s hands were tied; they were thus prevented from assessing penalties! Even the US Supreme Court can not override the ruling of a jury. Congress got the message and the laws were changed.

In the first jury trial before the Supreme Court (Feb of 1794), the Supreme Court judges told the jury, “…it is presumed, that the juries are the best judges of facts; it is, on the other hand, presumed that the courts are the best judges of law. But still both objects are within your power of decision… You have a right to take upon yourselves to judge of both, and to determine the law as well as the fact in controversy.” (State of Georgia vs. Brailsford, et al, 3 Dall.I).

John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court (1789) summarized it thus, “The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy.” This was echoed by Oliver Wendell Holmes, US Supreme Court Justice (1902), “The jury has the power to bring a verdict in the teeth of both law and fact” as well as by Harlan F. Stone, 12th Chief Justice, US Supreme Ct. (1941), “The law itself is on trial quite as much as the cause which is to be decided.” US vs Moylan, 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, 1969 instructs, “If the jury feels the law is unjust, we recognize the undisputed power of the jury to acquit, even if its verdict is contrary to the evidence.”

This is a fortunate thing arising from our Founding Fathers’ distrust of any type of government or any of its branches with or without checks and balances. Therefore they made sure that guilt would be decided only by fellow citizens, not by judges, and not by politicians! If the people are the creators of the Constitution, they must also be the enforcers of the law they created. Fortunately, nothing has changed since then, except that most jurors today let themselves be dictated to by the judge or by the attorneys during a trial. Our ignorance here makes it easy to scam us, to get away with lying to us. You see, we have not only the right to judge the accused individual, we have the right to judge the law the individual is accused of breaking! However, “If a juror accepts as the law that which the judge states then that juror has accepted the exercise of absolute authority of a government employee and has surrendered a power and right that once was the citizen’s safeguard of liberty.” (Elliot’s Debates, Bancroft, History of the Constitution, 1788).

Those being the facts of the matter, if jurors are ignorant of their supreme power would a US Attorney remind a Grand Jury about their lawful authority over any US Attorney? No, because a US Attorney cannot prosecute an individual without a Grand Jury indictment. And would a judge admit that jurors can disregard his clear and limiting instructions? Of course not. Instead, the judge will likely accept a motion ‘In Limine’ from the prosecution which denies the accused the right to use the US Constitution in his defense.

Nothing will be said to jurors as to their responsibility to judge the quality of the law. It all becomes a show trial if officials can count on jurors acting like sheeple, like a rubber stamp. Part of the problem is that we are more poorly educated than previous generations in terms of civics, economics, and the philosophies of government – 85% of us believe our rights come from the government!

Samuel Chase signed the Declaration of Independence and served our country well, but he made one mistake which got him impeached. As a US Supreme Court Justice (1796), he told a jury that he would decide the law and the jury would decide the facts. During his impeachment trial, Chase apologized and assured the Senate that he knew that juries also had the right to judge the law as well as the facts of a case. Those statesmen in Congress back then knew that if jurors follow erroneous instructions of a judge, our lawful form of government would be subverted and changed. Then politicians could take over. In 1800, if politicians had written the IRS code to put citizens in bondage, jurors across the land would have trashed that bad law with their votes as unconstitutional (Art.1, Sec.9, Clause 4).

Surprisingly, jurors are beginning to trash bad laws again. Jurors are successfully fighting back and not even the IRS can appeal a ‘not guilty’ jury verdict. The IRS does have the option of intimidating the media in order to keep its defeat out of the news. It could harass, audit and attempt to destroy any reporter who might publish a victory for US taxpayers. So today the public has no idea of the great number of cases which the IRS and other agencies have recently lost. The number grows as citizens get sick and tired of repressive measures moving us toward a one-world government.

It may be hard to believe that the 16th Amendment wasn’t ratified, but 16,000 certified documents collected from all 48 states by 1984 finally proved that to be the case (Google search The Law That Never Was). It may be hard to believe that filing a form 1040 is voluntary for an individual (unless he is a non-resident alien), and that there is no law requiring US citizens to do so, but investigation will prove that true (check: LiveFreeNow.com).

Why are such things so hard to believe? Because for years we’ve been misled by politicians and our (tax supported) public schools. Remember back to when you got your first paycheck years ago. Did you even ask someone whether or not you had to file income taxes? Or was this belief based on assumptions? Oh, we do get in trouble confusing belief with knowledge, no matter how sincere.

One knowledgeable patriot on a jury can educate the others and if need be cast the lone ‘NO’ vote. It is the voters on a jury who must decide if the law is bad or is the defendant bad. If the law is unjust, the jury has the right and duty to protect their fellow American from that bad law – to enforce the Constitution and secure our inalienable rights. In this fashion, a government is controlled by the citizens rather than vice-versa. One voter, on a jury, can hang a jury with a ‘not guilty’ vote. It could be eleven to one for conviction but that one ‘not guilty’ will stop the IRS or any other agency in its tracks. Because of this, America became the first choice of immigrants, the greatest nation on earth in less than two hundred years. Our government remained servant to the people.

The Constitution supersedes all other law and because it is based on Scriptural principles, it is the supreme law of the land. That’s what makes our nation a Republic rather than a Democracy. Thomas Paine said, “A democracy is the vilest form of government there is!” James Madison, Father of the Constitution, said that a democracy would lead to “loss of property rights, contention and chaos.” Our Founding Fathers believed that all democracies rot into ‘mobocracies’ where the majority can cram their will down the throats of minorities. They made sure that the Constitution guaranteed every state a republican form of government (Art.4, Sec.4).

WHO WE ARE NOT:
We are not interested in trying to damage or create chaos in the justice system. In no way do we endorse any juror lying to an officer of the court, colluding with others to sabotage a case, paying jurors to find defendants “not guilty” or failing to accurately judge the facts of a case. The “Just Us” movement rejects any unlawful action by any person or persons involved in any criminal or civil court case. This movement is not an act of civil disobedience, rather it is an act of civil obedience.

Richard Grove and Chris Duane
Richard Grove (Tragedy and Hope; History...So It Doesn't Repeat) and Chris Duane (Silver Shield Report; The Greatest Truths Never Told) come on the show together to discuss a variety of topics

Richard Grove
Webpages:

 
In 2003, Richard Grove filed for federal whistleblower protection under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

In 2006, he released on mp3 a 2-hour public disclosure “Project Constellation: A Message to the Future of America”.

What may have sounded like conspiracy “theories” in 2006 (Data-Mining and Spying on Citizens, The Planning of Financial Catastrophes, NSA/Google, and Corporate  Media partaking in the demolition of our civil liberties), proves today  to be relevant and verifiable historical facts related by Richard during  his public disclosure via Project Constellation, and evident in his continued productions ever since.

Since then, Richard has created more than 500 hours of educational and informative media productions, including a comprehensive conscious curriculum to teach individuals methods for learning anything and everything for themselves (a.k.a. “The Peace Revolution Podcast”).

Some of his more powerful publications include: State of Mind: The Psychology of Control (2013 co-production),  History… So It Doesn’t Repeat (2013 series),  The Ultimate History Lesson with John Taylor Gatto (2012), The Peace Revolution Podcast (2009-Present), What You’ve Been Missing: Exposing the Noble Lie (2010),  20/20 Hindsight CENSORSHIP on the Frontline (2010), and Project Constellation (2006). Richard’s comprehensive film production list from 2006-Present can be found here.

In 2013, ten years after blowing the whistle, Richard was nominated by author G. Edward Griffin to be listed in the Freedom Force International Hall of Honor.

Richard’s 2013 “Tragedy and Hope Trailer / Demo Reel” illustrates his talent for producing media to illustrate the Big Picture which he observed, before retiring from corporate America.

Longer Version:

Richard Grove excelled during his time in the public schooling system.  As an entrepreneur, he launched his first business before graduating college;and that experience provided him with the necessary leverage to land a six-figure salaried position as an enterprise software account manager, servicing the world’s largest companies upon graduation.

Despite his impressive resume and successful career in Information Technology servicing Fortune 100 companies and National Security Contractors, having earned his first million dollars before age 30, Richard soon bumped up against reality; for which his years of schooling did not prepare him.  Richard was thrust into an unknown world, where he discovered that the true nature of the corporate world is not one of integrity, voluntary relationships, honest dealing, nor accountability.

Specifically, in 2001, Richard was an account executive servicing his client Marsh & McLennan companies, and worked within the area which used to occupy the 96th through 99th floors of World Trade Center One.  Surviving the catastrophe of the morning of September 11th, which is comprehensively described in Richard’s 2006 public disclosure message titled “Project Constellation: A Message to the Future of America”, he continued to work in his chosen profession, servicing the world’s largest financial clients in New York City.

In 2003, Richard witnessed events which were to have wide-spread effects across companies and individuals (the seeds of the 2007 subprime mortgage meltdown), and took the steps which led to him becoming a corporate whistleblower under the 2001 Sarbanes-Oxley Act, not realizing at the time that he would be terminating his career as a consequence.

He soon discovered that the court system, SEC, and corporate media worked together to block the public from hearing about whistleblower testimony; representing himself in court against a multi-billion-dollar international corporation, as detailed in the film 20/20 Hindsight: CENSORSHIP on the Frontline.

What may have sounded like conspiracy “theories” in 2006 (Data-Mining and Spying on Citizens, The Planning of Financial Catastrophes, NSA/Google, and Corporate  Media partaking in the demolition of our civil liberties), proves today  to be relevant and verifiable historical facts related by Richard during  his public disclosure via Project Constellation, and evident in his continued productions ever since.

Since then, Richard and his fiancée Lisa, have been tirelessly researching and documenting the existing artifacts and evidence of world history; whereby they then produce educational films and podcasts, and together host the Tragedy & Hope online research community. Tragedy and Hope dot com, is named of course after the 1966 book by professor Carroll Quigley titled “Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time”.  The purpose of Tragedy and Hope dot com and the book of the same name are practically synonymous, where Quigley leaves off in his brilliant discussion of the history and inter-workings of the elite ruling class and our non-elected leaders; T&H picks up and continues fleshing out how the world really works, and how all of us can learn to think more clearly about it.

Tragedy and Hope creates, produces, and publishes educational content to help adults understand the world they live in and thereby, develop true self-confidence and serenity of mind; our content focuses on history, philosophy, economics, anthropology, science, communications, and every topic which pertains to learning how to survive and thrive in this world.

In 2009 Richard launched the Peace Revolution, a “beyond Ph.D.” curriculum presenting the history and substantial artifacts of how the world *really* works.

In 2011 Richard and Lisa, with a little help from their friends produced “The Ultimate History Lesson: A Weekend with John Taylor Gatto”; released 2012.

In May of 2012 Mark Gaffney published his essential book “Black 9/11: Money, Motive and Technology”, which features the testimony of Richard Grove, as introduced into evidence during his trial as a whistleblower.

In January of 2013 Richard launched “History… So It Doesn’t Repeat“, a video series hosted on YouTube to provide the audience with the primary sources, strategies, and tactics of Cognitive Liberty.

In June of 2013 Tragedy and Hope and Free Mind Films released “State of Mind: The Psychology of Control“, available exclusively in the InfoWars.com Store; featuring Richard Grove, Alex Jones, G. Edward Griffin, Jon Rappoport, Dr. Colin Ross, Dr. Bruce Levine, Dr. Eldon Taylor, and Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, among others.
