No Judge Clarence Shattuck today to be one mentioned Tom had arraigned on allegations that he been bitten by a dog on wielded an ax handle while walking one of his evening walks. through Highland Park over the weekend.

In court, Morrell said that the ax Tom told the court that handle was a religious instrument, the ax handle was no more which Judge Shattuck dubbed a a "dangerous weapon" than "rod of God." it was a "rod of God." According to a court officer, in the Tom said 'If you guys keep incident report completed upon on doing what you've been Morrell's arrest, police officers doing,you're going to quoted Morrell as saying that all get us all killed.' police should be killed.

(This is Tom's press release to be read at 1:15, Thursday, May 23rd, before his court appearance on the ax handle charge. This will be his announcement as candidate for Congress.) MORRELL FOR CONGRESS The MORRELL FOR CONGRESS CAMPAIGN 1994 continues unabated despite the controlled and contrived outcomes two years ago. Congressional candidate THOMAS MORRELL can never concede to a "defeat" which was no defeat at all. The shamelessly corrupt election process was overshadowed by media titans who subvert the will of the electorate through economic domination of the means of communication. Whoever pays the piper calls the tune. The tune that the well-meaning, well-intentioned, misguided and complete ly misinformed voter hears is a lullaby of lunacy. "We the people" have become "we the debt-slaves" of our deceitful master, the Federal Reserve Corporation. This privately owned corporation enslaves all citizens of Tennessee through their deceit-ridden monetary system which steals the substance creat ed by the good citizens of Tennessee. Tennessee is their "plantation", we are their debt-slaves. Every judge in every court ignores the common law, the constitutional guarantee of sovereign citizenship, to administer the deceit arising from the Geneva Convetion six decades ago. The end result is the statuatory legal standing of our sovereign citizens, which makes us all victins of a plethora of statuatory regulations of every sort. Each one is purely a revenue collecting scam of the Federal Reserve Corporation and their "employees". Treason has never been more profitable in terms of payment in Federal Reserve interest bearing debt notes of the Federal Reserve Corporation to these greedy traitors. It is in everyone's interest to set aside the unconscionable and unconstitutional contract which forms the foundation of all the statuatory demands upon the good citizens of Tennessee. The deceit of statuatory citizenship creates a whole society of "we the slaves" neither known nor understood by our good citizens. The people of Tennessee must not only never pay taxes to the direct benefit of the Federal Reserve Corporation, they must receive monetary dividends from all the wealth created in the geographical boundaries of Tennessee by the good citizens of Tennessee as irrevocable shareholders in the abundance that "we the people" create. The Federal Reserve Corporation owns Tennessee lock, stock and barrel - especially our judges and our political leaders. This must be rectified completely.

Tom was there to answer to the charge of carrying a weapon (an ax handle he had carried for a long time to give the neighborhood dogs something to chew on besides him; the news has recently reported a man being dog-bitten in Tom’s neighborhood). After being moved twice from one courtroom to the other, the District Attorney asked Tom to step out into the hall. Tom was asked by the DA if he wanted to talk about his case. Tom responded that he would be glad to listen to anything he had to say, but the d.a. couldn’t seem to understand, asking the question two more times. Tom answered the same, totally willing to cooperate. The DA walked away saying you give them a chance and they won’t take it and stormed off into the courtroom. The DA then lied to the judge saying that Tom did not want to talk your honor. Then Tom was called up for the hearing. Tom approached the court remaining behind the bar. Judge H. L. Smith asked Tom if he was going to remain where he was (behind the bar) and Tom said "Yes, your honor." The judge said, "Fine, whatever turns you on..." and joked about it before the court, mocking Tom. The judge told Tom he was charged with carrying a weapon and asked Tom how he pleads. Tom told the judge, I have some administrative and procedural matters to discuss, your honor. The judge said, "let’s get on with it then!" Tom proceeded as instructed by the judge stating the following as he held up the American Flag of Peace: I AM A LAWFUL CHRISTIAN MAN OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS IS THE FLAG OF MY COUNTRY, THE AMERICAN FLAG OF PEACE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I, RESERVE ALL THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF MY COUNTRY AND THE JURISDICTION OF MY FLAG. NO TITLE 4 U.S.C. 1(ONE) FLAG APPEARS IN THE COURT. THERE ARE NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS IN THE SANCTUARY OF THE BAR, UNDER THE WAR POWERS ACT OF 1933 BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. BY CROSSING AND ENTERING THE BAR, I WOULD BE GIVING UP MY U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS UNDER THE WAR POWERS ACT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THIS COURT LACKS JURISDICTION UNDER FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 12 (b)(1) LACKS JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER AND 12 (b)(2) LACKS JURISDICTION OVER MY CITIZENSHIP OF THE AMERICAN FLAG OF PEACE (TITLE 4 U.S.C. 1). I, WILL MAKE MY PLEADING FROM OUTSIDE THE BAR, UNDER THE AMERICAN FLAG OF PEACE OF MY COUNTRY, AS I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY AT LAW, BUT A PROPER PARTY TO THIS ACTION. BY THIS COURT PLACING THE AMERICAN FLAG OF PEACE, THE U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF ALL CITIZENS IN THE BAR WILL BE PRESERVED. THEN, WE CAN GET ON WITH THIS HEARING. OTHERWISE THIS COURT LACKS JURISDICTION UNDER FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE RULE 12 (b)(1), AND 12 (b)(2) LACKS JURISDICTION OVER MY CITIZENSHIP, AND 12 (b)(6) FAILS TO STATE A CLAIM UPON WHICH RELIEF CAN BE GRANTED AND UNDER F.R.C.P. RULE 12 (b)(7) FAILS TO JOIN. ANY ATTEMPT TO USE COLLUSION TO MY PROPER PARTY, WILL GIVE RISE TO A CAUSE OF ACTION, AND VIOLATION UNDER TITLE 28 CHAPTER 85 U.S.C.A. 1359 COLLUSION, YOUR HONOR WILL LOSE ALL JURISDICTION BEFORE THE COURT. ANY PLEADING BY MYSELF OR ACTION BY THE COURT, WOULD BE A FRAUD UNDER FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 9 (b). F.R.C.P. 12 (b)(7). THE COURT CAN NOT JOIN TWO PARTIES UNDER F.R.C.P. 12 (b)(7) AND TWO DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS UNDER TWO DIFFERENT FLAGS AT THE SAME TIME, MARITIME, ADMIRALTY, OR ADMINISTRATIVE WITH JUDICIAL. The judge mocked Tom, interrupted him and talked over him as Tom gave his statement to the court. The judge even mumbled some things to some officers standing nearby, acting indifferent and aloof, totally making the court appear like a joke. The judge lied to Tom. The judge clearly approved of Tom being behind the bar, but later defied his own words by telling Tom, "come up here." The judge alluded that he couldn’t hear Tom. But it was obvious to the people in the courtroom that the judge didn’t really care what Tom had to say, appearing to have already decided how to handle Tom. The judge would joke about what Tom was saying. The judge said, "I’ll show you what your Constitutional rights are!" The bailiff approached Tom intimidatingly and maneuvered behind him. When Tom finished his discourse on procedural violations the bailiff was instructed to arrest Tom. The bailiff yanked Tom around the bar by the arm, man-handling him like a big thug, wisking Tom out of public view. It was the worst display of judicial mockery ever seen here. Judge Smith is the one that should be arrested. He displayed contempt for the court and proper procedural rules acting like it was all a big joke. The officers who had originally arrested Tom followed the rest of us out into the hall after the travesty, expressing that they really wanted to talk with Tom, stating that the judge was going to request a psychological evaluation and mentioned the possibility of Tom being charged with contempt. They seemed eager to distance themselves from any appearance of association with the activities we had all just witnessed. They explained that their initial arrest was due to hearsay from some of Tom’s neighbors, though no neighbors were at court. Mr. Hale informed the officers that the City of Chattanooga and the officers of the court may expect a suit for violating Title 42, Title 28 and Title 18 that would entail massive fines and prison time. He also told the officers that the same defense Tom used was available for them as police officers as well, should they desire to uphold their oath of office in good faith under the American Flag of Peace. They shook hands and departed. At last report, congressional candidate Morrell is being held in jail expecting to be been sent to the Moccasin Bend mental hospital for an evaluation. As of 6:30 P.M EDT, Officer Sweeny has informed us that Mr. Morrell has not been allowed counsel or make a phone call. Officer Sweeny and Officer Albert have both been informed that they have violated Mr. Morrels rights, violating Title 42, Title 28, and Title 18 of the U.S.C.A. Officer Sweeny said he was just following orders. He was reminded that that was said during the Nuremburg trials too as he was also being reminded of his Constitutional Oath. * Patriot Information Mailing List * http://constitution.org/piml/piml.htm * A service to help inform those who have an active interest in * returning our federal and state governments to limited, * constitutional government * Send messages for consideration and possible posting to * butterb@sagenet.net (Bill Utterback). * To subscribe or unsubscribe, send message with subject line * "subscribe patriot" or "unsubscribe patriot" * Forwarded messages sent on this mailing list are NOT verified. * See World's Smallest Political Quiz: www.self-gov.org/quiz.html * Libertarian is to LIBERTY as librarian is to library (DePena) * PIML grants permission to copy and repost this message * in its entirety with headers and trailers left intact.
