I come before you to fulfill my pledge of
allegiance to the flag and the people of my country.
I come before you to protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States. I
have a first amendment right to speak out and to carry out my
responsibilities of citizenship.
Every officer
of the court, every member of the armed forces, every
government official has the obligation and duty to preserve,
protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States
against any enemy foreign or domestic.
Anyone who would knowingly damage the integrity of the
Constitution and undermine the rule of law in order to advance
a personal agenda that is inimical to the sovereignty and well
being of our People does not come to this court with clean
hands. These
people are enemies of our Constitution.
No government official, representative,
or employee (and this includes the President of the United
States) has any legal authority to kill, torture, incarcerate
or otherwise suspend the rights of any person without due
process of law.
No government official, representative,
or employee has the right to commit war crimes prohibited by
the Constitution, as defined by its derivative and inclusive
laws.
No government official, representative,
or employee has the right to obstruct justice.
In fact, justice demands that my grievances be heard.
Terrible and grievous crimes that have been and
are being committed by members of our government, and the
people responsible ought to be stopped and those who have been
the victims of such crimes ought to be protected by this
court.
I believe that the President, unnamed
members of his administration and staff, as well as unnamed
members of Congress, high ranking officers of various
departments of government and the armed forces have knowingly
damaged the Constitution and ought to be held accountable for
their egregious illegal acts of inhumanity which are partially
enumerated below:
Enumeration
of Crimes Committed
1. The
President as Commander-in-Chief has authorized the use of
weapons fortified with depleted uranium (DU), which when used
in populated areas causes birth
defects and cancers.
Even people not living nearby can be damaged by these residues
which remain suspended in the atmosphere and can be carried by
the wind to anywhere.
The half-life of these
radioactive materials is estimated to be well over a million
years. This means
that thousands or even millions of people on our planet will
be damaged by our use of these materials over many lifetimes
to come. This is
genocide. No one
has the right or authority to commit genocide and no one has
the right to keep such information about our use of these
materials from the American people or from any people.
The use of these materials has destroyed the moral
authority, credibility, sovereignty, security, and viability
of our nation. By
engaging in genocide we have become indebted to the people of
other lands beyond our financial ability to ever pay for the
crimes we have committed. We
are bankrupt, morally and financially if justice is done.
And if justice is not done, we are, in any event, an
illegitimate nation that is morally bankrupt if we do not stop
our crimes and ask forgiveness.
Forgiveness is possible, but only if we own up to our
crimes and commit ourselves to permanent cessation of the use
of these weapons and reparations to the victims.
2. In addition to crimes primarily against children
and the unborn through the use of DU, we have committed murder
through the use of drone attacks, where the military has
indiscriminately destroyed the lives and bodies of innocent
men, women, and children in populated areas, by targeting
individuals who are so-called suspected enemies.
We have no legitimate
business being in these places. Our illegal
attacks occur without proper authority from Congress, the UN,
or the nations in which these attacks are perpetrated.
Again, these are war crimes.
I submit that other unnamed war crimes are also
committed by our military forces, damaging not only the people
who are attacked, but the sovereignty, credibility, and
good-will of our own country and its people.
3. The President has suspended the principle of
habeas corpus and taken it upon himself to incarcerate people
indefinitely or kill people through assassination, abandoning
due process of law. He
has no right or authority under the Constitution to do this.
This usurpation and denigration of every person’s
human rights, along with items 1 and 2 above, damages every
American and every current and future citizen of these United
States, including me.
I
ask this court to find the President of the United States,
members of his administration, and other government officials
who support these enumerated crimes, in contempt.
I
have been damaged by these crimes and other crimes committed
by this administration. My
family, my friends and every American and world citizen and
our posterity has been damaged by these crimes.
Our country is lost if I and my fellow Americans cannot
find justice where nearly every member my government has
failed to uphold their oath of office.
I ask the court and every officer of every court to
intervene on my behalf and on behalf of our fellow human
beings wherever they might reside.
Respectfully submitted,
Mark
A. Goldman
