Another Story Behind the Story

[Note: This is the second part of the article, “Habeas Corpus Suspended by the United States Supreme Court – The Sacred Writ has been Removed from the Constitution” and deals with the impact on the Petitioner/author, as a consequence of filing the Habeas Corpus.]
I had often wondered if the Habeas Corpus would pose a serious problem within the government if what appears, by my research, to be a means of nullifying “unconstitutional laws”. I had been doing some research on the subject of the “sacred writ” prior to the current case. However, it was in December of 2011 that I received a phone call from the sister of the last member of those indicted as the “Florida Common Law Court“, who was going to stand trial after over 15 years from the first trial.
At that point, my serious research on the subject of Habeas Corpus began. The first three-page Demand (Habeas Corpus, February 2012) was rather meager, however, anticipating our “day in court”, the hearing on Habeas Corpus would allow light to be shed on what I had, at that time, discovered.
When that first Habeas Corpus was ignored by the Sheriff and District Court (assuming that the Sheriff had send it to Judge Merryday), it became apparent that the Petition, itself, would have to contain the argument that the laws that Mr. Myers was being prosecuted under did not apply to him, as all of the actions alleged were already covered by state law.
My receipts show that the Sheriff, the District Court, the Appellate Court, and the Florida Supreme Court all received their “service” on February 12, 2012.
Just a few days before, I had set up a webpage — the first time that Larry Myers’ name and mine were ever associated together on the Internet — to post the progression of the pursuit of justice under the “sacred writ”.
The next day, February 13, 2012, I found that there were at least forty hits to that webpage using the search term “Gary Hunt Larry Myers”. I only briefly looked, as it didn’t strike me so much, at the time, what was happening, though I do recall that four of those addresses that did the search and went to that page were domain “uscourts.gov” and were from Rochester, Seattle, and San Diego (2). The remainder of them, in that short period that I checked, were from phones and personal computers from various locations around the country. In hindsight, I should have followed those visits through the remainder of the day, and, captured images of the “hits” on my statistics page.
At that time, I had no idea of just what this might be the beginning of, though the surprise would be forthcoming.
In November 2008, I retired, applied for, and began receiving Social Security benefits. I had not paid income tax since 1984, so within a month of receiving my first Social Security check, I was notified that the Internal Revenue Service has taken a portion of my benefit — that should I have any questions, to contact the IRS, not the Social Security Administration. I discussed this with my wife and she asked me not to challenge the IRS (the most feared government agency in the United States); that we could do well enough with the amount that remained. So, I relented, and, for the next three years received the reduced “benefit”.
In Mid February 2012, an IRS agent visited me for the first time in well over a decade. We had a conversation over the fence, with my dog looking on, and I refused a service from him. In a letter from that agent, dated February 24, 2012, after nearly four years of not working and having no taxable income, I find that they have found that I owe them $188,489.41. Not to be bogged down in the details, since 1985, I have dealt with various agents. They always relented, and nothing came of any effort to collect what they might think I owed them, nor did they even attempt to garnishee my wages. However, this attack, so timely made, was unrelenting.
I had begun checking my site visit stats a bit more regularly and I ran across this one from February 24, 2012 – a visit from the Treasury Department.
In a letter from the Social Security Administration, dated March 1, 2012, I was informed that they were increasing the benefit reduction, though they assured me that I would continue to receive the residue. The amount was that I received was reduce to $812, but they assured me that I would continue receiving payments on the third of each month, thereafter.
In April 2012, I was again notified by the Social Security Administration that the IRS was to receive all of my Social Security Benefit, and I was to get none — after contributing to that system for 45 years. This is also contrary to the IRS’ own rules that require that they exempt me from levy for a portion of my benefit (IRS form 1494). Well, there goes forty-five years of contribution (full faith and credit in the government), down the tubes.
I had been involved in a few other patriot activities, during this time. Two of them had rather interesting potential. One was the Arizona Committee of Safety (ACOS), which was modeled on the historical example of the Revolutionary War era. Though it was unnoticed, at first, by March 10, 2012, elements within the groups had created disturbances that became downright disruptive, eventually leading to the resignation of the Chairman. Increasing turmoil resulted in the organization being taken over by parties who had completely lost sight of its purpose (as per the by-laws) and making it impossible for the group to remain viable. By May, the Arizona Committee of Safety had fallen into ruin.
Another organization, the Patriot Unity Coalition (PUC), which came into existence in December 2011, was formed to discourage its members from participating in activities that disparaged other patriots or organizations, unless through a proper forum, such as the Committee of Safety – Common Law Court. Internal turmoil, violation of the by-laws by some members, and total disruption of the PUC, resulted in its demise by April 8, 2012. This resulted in starting over, again, with the Coalition of American Patriots (CAP).
Both of these organizations had been proceeding along constructive courses until all of a sudden, out of nowhere, disruption came on with such force that it could not be countered, resulting in both efforts being totally destroyed.
Now, it is possible that they would have followed the same course, absent any outside influence, however, if we look at the timing, and the fact that I was a principal player in each, perhaps there is more to their demise than meets the eye.
We can go one step further. Back in 1995, Bill Cooper, a well-respected patriot, claimed that I was John Doe #4, and in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. That allegation, which first found its way in fax networking, began floating around the Internet, though never to any significant degree. From time to time, a discussion would be brought to my attention where the allegations of John Doe #4 arose. I would join the discussion and ask the group to pick one of their members, who I would direct to a well-known patriot who was with me, in Florida that morning. I chose this method in lieu of going public with the witness to my whereabouts, as it might have been disruptive to his business, if everybody wanted to call him to verify where I was. So, the selected party would contact the witness, verify that he was who he claimed to be, and report back, thereby quashing one source that was perpetuating the allegation.
Frankly, that allegation problem wasn’t that serious, until sometime in March 2012, when many of my friends and contacts reported that the John Doe #4 story was proliferating on the Internet. So, after 17 years, the time had come where I was to take the matter on, or succumb to the falsehood, which would result in a “no credibility” attachment to anything else that I wrote, or might write in the future.
Prior to the show, a Google search was done by at least three of the people I was working with. The search “Gary Hunt John Doe 4 OKC” gave over 46,000 results.
On March 3, 2012, Randy Mack, host of “You Have Tread On Me”, aired an Internet radio show entitled “Gary Hunt Exposed as John Doe #4 at OKC“. The show appeared to be quite effective, and a subsequent Google Search, same criteria, resulted in less than 4,000 hits — more than 40,000 hits removed from the search engines.
Now, it would be easy enough to write these occurrences off as “coincidence”, if it were just one or two. However, in light of the timing, and the disruptive effect on my finances, reputation, and the efforts of others to come up with viable means to pursue a Restoration of Constitutional Government, that is a very hard pill to swallow.
This, then, leads to the final image from my stats. On November 13, 2013, just one day after my Petition for Rehearing was docketed for conference, we get a visit from a DHS Fusion Center.
Note that in the Fusion Center (the information at the bottom comes from a government Fusion Center listing), the email address is to the local Sheriff’s Department, not a federal agency.
Habeas Corpus would stop such extension of authority over our local governments.
So, there, you have it. If you understand what the Supreme Court has done to remove that sacred right embodied in the Constitution, you might also realize that if this is to change, it will be to the benefit of ourselves, our Posterity, the Constitution, and the insight of the Framers who wanted to give us a form of government that would not find us resorting to our “duty“, according to the Declaration of Independence, to secure our Liberties”
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when long trains of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide for new guards for their future security.”
I believe that, if we can muster our forces, the Supreme Court needs to be put on trial in the Court of Public Opinion. This would require a massive effort to get the information out to as many as possible, such as:
To your Congressional Representatives, as the Court has usurped their authority.
To radio and TV talk shows.
To patriot websites.
To everybody on your mailing lists, with a request that they pass it on to all of their lists, show hosts, representatives, etc.
Let the Court of Public Opinion Convene
