120218 Outlaw Junction News-Chop Occupy the
Law Edition
The
Guardian UK news-email has an article this morning about a different
sort of “OCCUPY Movement”, in the Gloucester countryside.
The
Squatters at Forest of Dean in that English county of Gloucester, are
trying to do what we should all be doing, and what probably millions
of whitefaces are doing worldwide, living with the land, not just
from and on it.
Here's
the Guardian UK article's link:
And
here's my e-ssay comments and link to their publication of it....

A note to the Squatters at Forest of Dean,
Gloucestershire, England
“All
Strength to You, Squatters!”
I was once, in London (1976-78) squatting in a
3-storey block on Harrow Road Paddington.
Now, I live “feral” in Australia's
forests.
In the interim, I studied Economic Science and
Philosophy, and found profound things about how things are, and how
they should be.
One, is that virtually none of the western
world operates on Proper Land Law.
This can be dated back to 15th century England
(1475 Land Enclosure Act), when the land occupancy laws changed
forever, in-the-main, it seems, to satisfy the Catholic church's
hunger for everyone else's land.
Other important reasons also lay behind the
decision, though. One was that someone realised the land was not
being made proper use of, and that the structures of feudalism were
not in the long run helpful for the larger population.
But there were equally good and bad reasons for
both feudalism, and for a change to how the people used the, their
land.
Nevertheless...., some 533 years on, most of us
have become aware that something about how we relate to the Great
Mother Eartha has to change, and that those archaic laws are now well
passed their effective “use-by-date”.
The problem is those laws have spread globally,
and are used by the elite landowners, such as Britain's “lords”
to stay,, quite dishonourably, as-it-happens, on top of the human
pyramid.
While I'm fully onside with the now Global
OCCUPY Movement, I understand why the Squatters at Forest of Dean
prefer to distinguish the Squat from Occupy, albeit that they are
effectively pushing for very similar changes, corrections to how we
live on the planet.
My suggestion to the Forest's Squatters, as it
is for the Occupy Champions, is to prepare your legal argument to
include a scientific challenge to the present laws of the land.
While down-here-down-on-the-bottom, in
Astrayliar, we only have “kangaroo courts” which refuse to
allow the public to address such matters with factual evidence. The
police, sadly, supported by our often quite insane lawyers (insane,
but very wealthy! But we're all nuts down under!) here depend almost
wholly upon fabrications of both evidence, and fabricated laws upon
which to base and lay charges, more often against innocent people
than most are aware.
As we're still, in effect, Britain's colony, so
exist under her orb of legalities, I assume that Britain is
belaboured by similar distortions of legal foundations.
But, I do, strangely enough, still have a high
regard for English, or, British law, and in that, am of the belief
that the British law court system, given a properly constructed legal
case, will listen to such as the Forest of Dean Squatters' points?
Properly researched and constructed, a good
legal team could quite simply put together a case against the present
laws which allow such as the county council to evict the Forest of
Dean Squatters, by referring to Economic Science, and that the “most
honest tax” as our last right-wing PM John Howard was once
recorded as calling it, “land tax” is the right and proper
method one, of government, local, county (or state) and
national/federal revenue collection, two, of ensuring a sound local
and national economy, three, of eliminating poverty, which hinges
almost totally upon homelessness, to be interpreted as landlessness,
four, of dramatically improving productivity, especially of the
essentials, as the article recognises, of (homegrown) food and
shelter, even clothing from such as “hemp”, etc., five of
nearly completely eliminating the barrow-load of unjust and
debilitating taxes on production and on living itself.
The list of benefits gained by all goes on.
The crucial point is that the problems the
Squatters recognise in our current awry economic and cultural
systems, which have in fact been the cause of so many of our social,
cultural and personal maladies, have their roots in such as the 1475
Land Enclosure Act, and the right of the People, to even just occupy
the land in a sound way.
It is the same astray laws which enable your
(and most-all) county councils to issue eviction notices to those
(Squatters) who are in most every area of “life” fully
aware of the wrong ways and right ways to live, on earth.
So..., as the Global OCCUPY Movement brings
such issues to the fore, firstly in media, but soon enough in the
courts, so can the Forest of Dean Squatters challenge the errant
legal foundations.
Not, as all of human history tells us, by
unleashing the dogs of war, but by introducing the Economic Facts,
the Scientific Evidence of “Honest Economics” if-I-may, into the
courts' system.
Over the last 120 or so years, these facts have
quietly been spread across the globe, by dedicated, and extremely
intelligent Economists, Economic Scientists, who, as I, saw a roaring
gap between Justice, and the way things are.
In a recent letter to the Global OCCUPY
Movement, I put it that, as a Righteous Economist put in a TV
interview, (which I merely pass on to your good selves), occupying
the stock exchanges etc in city centres is great media fodder, but a
more precise protest would be to OCCUPY the chambers and offices of
the universities economic's departments.
Because these halls of learning are where the
false economic doctrines and dogma are honed, fabricated, distilled,
spread and taught to those who become speculators on the current
extremely crooked financial, economic system. Accountants, economic
advisers, stock market players, et al.
But back to Forest of Dean...., I define Law as
having it's original and most fundamental basis in what I call
“Environmental Law”.
No doubt, the Squatters (perhaps all
squatters?) have arrived at the same truth.
So, if we live according to Environmental Law,
that-is living in Harmony with the ecology, ecosystem, etc., we can
not go wrong (ask any Aborigine!), and that, the world faces so many
deadly events, purely because we have ignored those fundamental
Environmental Laws.
This is not pie-in-the-sky legal dreaming. All
of it can be proven as fact.
What comes from this, once we satisfy the court
that our evidence is irrefutable, is that the laws which enable the
councils and higher government and private land owners, to evict
tenants and squatters and people who live Properly on the land, by
being Green, 1, (vego, 2!) honest, 3, and know the law, 4, are false,
untrue, therefore have no credence.
Therefore, m'laird, the council eviction
notices are invalid, and, indeed, unlawful!
Case
dismissed!!!
These things have been known since before time
began. But of course, it is not Heaven, and we have (since 1788 in
Astrayliar) been ruled by the powerful landowners of the world,
brutal and ever able to pay thugs in food or land for their
brutality against people who merely, and quite rightfully, want a
piece of land upon which to grow food, build shelter and raise a
family.
But as long as the facts are kept out of the
courts, nothing is corrected.
Now, with the Global Occupy Movement, and such
as the recent “Dale Farm” situation in Essex, and your
Forest of Dean Squat, these facts, this evidence can be heard in the
courts.
We'd have to expect the lower courts would have
to refer any such cases, if you can put a tight case to them, to the
higher, indeed, the highest courts, such as the Supreme Court, but
here lives the opportunity to redress the errors of passed judgements
and laws, and one, ensure the Forest of Dean Tenancy and Educational
Centre is granted it's due rights, to stay, increase and teach what
we all most need to know, and two, correct the larger, terribly awry
laws which are behind the innumerable corruptions making the future
so miserable.
I guess it all hinges upon finding the best
legal representation you can?
All the best!
