Dear Editor:
Last Friday, Dec. 1, I replaced one of my stolen Liberty Signs on one of my trees on Somerville Road near Allen Road (STOP ANARCHY ?
OBEY OATH CHIEF KELLY ?TRAITOR). This time I anchored it ten feet above the ground but
as I rounded the corner on my way to church yesterday I found that it had already been stolen ("after 4:30 P.M. on Friday" from neighbor
into Police Report).
On Sunday I also notified the Police that a radio jamming signal had appeared and was jamming me when I turned on my radio station
early Sunday morning. I soon learned that it was not, as usual, coming from ?hundreds of miles away but was quite local. I did not have time to
investigate it before church but when I returned home I quickly located the jamming radio station.
It was on the English property south of Allen Road. I left it ?intact while I engaged a neighbor as a witness. When the Policeman arrived I specifically told him that it was an inter-State matter and that I first ?wanted to present the evidence to the Federal Communications Commission. He ?accepted that so I then divulged the location of the evidence.
My neighbor and I were stunned when the Policeman then very ?quickly confiscated the evidence and would not even allow us to look at it a few hours later I received a visit from a man from Maine whom I had never met before. He has been listening to my radio broadcasts
for decades and when he saw the "Liberty Corner" sign along Route 287 he decided to look me up to give me a 'vote of confidence' . Thanks to my friends at the Liberty Corner Church he found me. He regularly hears my persecutors from across
eastern America and Canada.

Your humble servant,

Dear Editor:
How much longer must I suffer under these ruthless Bernards Township
Tories?! They criminally destroy my most productive sugar maple trees and
then declare, "Oh you now no longer qualify for farmland (open spaces) assessment ".
Now I read in your Nov. 16 issue that they are preparing to usurp my venison harvesting enterprise and again will declare, "Oh since
you no longer harvest ' five to twelve venison per year' you no longer qualify for
farmland assessment ".
You might recall that in one of my letters a year or two ago that ?shirked one of my farming duties and engaged a B.T. Policeman to
dispatch a deer which was on that controversial "one half acre of land
around my farmhouse' which for over one decade Bernards Township has sworn
under Oath that I "do not use for farming" (not to mention my honey bees which have dwelt within the walls of the old farmhouse for almost one quarter of a millennium).
For a good part of this twentieth century my private enterprise venison harvester has been doing an admirable job and it has not cost the 'slaves' one cent.
That word "subsidy" should be banished from America! It is a synonym for "slavery"! ?("English Law. An aid, tax or tribute granted by parliament to the king for the urgent occasions of the kingdom, to be levied on every subject of ability, according to the value of his lands or
goods.")
Blimey!

Dear Editor:
Please let me further amplify on the gross voter fraud and voter conflict of interest ?which is rampant in our country today.
When we vote we should only be permitted to use a pencil and a piece of paper. If we don't know what to do with them we should not be ?voting but alas today we are hard pressed to find people who are qualified ?to count "ballots" (Art. II, Sec. 1, Par. 3, United States Constitution).
In our " union" of ?sovereign "States" we are to have three types of electors. They are not to be labelled 'college', 'university', 'institute' etc.
One type of "electors" (Art. I, Sec. 2, Par. 1) are to elect ?members to the House of Representatives who are bound to represent ?we-the-people. Each one is to represent in the vicinity of "thirty thousand people"
(Art. 1,
Sec. 2, Par. 3). Today we no longer have representation since no mortal can represent over six hundred thousand people! "Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned according to the census (Art. I, Sec. 2, Par. 3).
The next type of electors are those who elect the Senators (Art. I, Sec. 3, Par. 1) who are to represent the Sovereign States. If the ?States should become Satellites, Soviets, Colonies etc. then the United ?States would no longer exist!!.'
The third type of "electors" ?(Art. II, Sec. 1, Par. 2) are those who are to elect The President who is to represent The "Union" ?(Preamble) of Sovereign States. If that procedure fails then each Sovereign ?State. is allowed to cast one vote for The President (Art. II, Sec. 1, Par. ?3) thus little Rhode Island has equal ?representation in the "Union".
When Jefferson was elected President the tie vote between the ?States was broken when Liberty Corner farmer Alexander Lynn cast his
vote for Jefferson! ! !! !
Concerning voter "conflict of interest" Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 2, U.S.C. clearly orders that no electors shall be ?allowed to vote who accept. "profit" from The United States. Thus people in the ?Military, people who receive Social Security Insurance checks etc. etc. ?should never be allowed to vote. School teachers who teach in "public" schools ?should be allowed to vote but teachers in ?government" schools should never ?be allowed to vote'.' Government schools are illegal (Art. IV, Sec. 4)!
Oh how Blessed we are that The Father of The United States Constitution, James Madison, spent the four most informative ?years of his Life not far from Liberty Corner and that during The ?Constitutional Convention he delivered a scathing denunciation of ?"Democracies"!
Any 'American' who refers to our form of government (Art. IV,
Sec. 4)
as a "Democracy" should be cited for "treason" (Art. III, Sec. 3)!

Happy Thanksgiving "to Almighty God for the
civil and religious. liberty which He hath so
long permitted us to enjoy" (Preamble, N.J.C)

Dear Editor:
How is it possible as we close out this miserable twentieth century that
the authorities, we-the-people, tolerate this total ?anarchy, this
contempt for The Law, The United States Constitution, "the second
greatest event in history"?!
These 'men' who take an Oath to enforce it and obey it and then spit
upon it are guilty of the highest crime in the land, "treason" (Article
III,Section 3, U.S.C.)
It is universally disobeyed from Article I to Article XIII, from the
order for a census to the order that only criminals may be ?subjected to slavery or involuntary servitude!
The census 2000 was a total fraud! I received reports from around the country that aliens were enumerated and that citizens like myself ?were never approached or enumerated!!!
The ONLY purpose for the census is to guarantee equal representation and equal taxation. The federal, state and county governments do ?not have the power to tax we-the-people in "a republican
form of ?government" (Article IV, Section 4, U.S.C.).
ONLY OUR LOCAL REPUBLICS HAVE THE POWER TO TAX WE-THE-PEOPLE! The local
republics must then contribute money to the Counties, the Counties to the
States and the States to the Union ACCORDING TO THE CENSUS!!!!!

Dear Mrs. Barth:
Yesterday I received your May 25, 2000 letter which was delivered by the
Police. Though it is hardly needed my P.O. Box number is 7.
I am sorry to say that I find something 'fishy' in your letter:
"Bernards Township's offer to plant 10 large trees along the ?right-of-way ?adjacent to your property on Somerville Road."
As the records reveal, and is now quite visible, you shifted the road right-of-way onto my property to accommodate your 'kiddie trail' ?on the other side of the road.
At the south end of my property the right-of-way is exactly where it has been for centuries.
At the north end of my property the right-of-way is exactly where it has been for centuries.
Between there your ?new ?right-of-way line is at the edge of your new roadway EXACTLY AS IT IS ALONG THE TOTAL LENGTH OF MY PROPERTY ALONG SOMERVILLE ROAD!
Have you paid me and my neighbors to the north on Somerville Road for new right-of-way ?line behind the centuries old one?!!!
You failed to respond to "the three issues at hand?" which I requested in that May 11, 2000 letter.

Dear Editor:

Chief Justice O.W. Holmes was severely wounded several times while
murdering his brothers during the Civil War. When he was an old man someone
asked him, "Which side was right in the Civil War?" and he answered, "Both sides were right. They were fighting for two different grand
ideals." Why oh why didn't he answer, "Both sides were wrong! They should have
been fighting side by side for those two grand ideals!" ("In order to form a ?more perfect
union!")
"Individual rights" can never be preserved if we don't first preserve "States rights"! When the States become satellites and soviets
that is the end of individual rights and united states.
As so often happens, something good did come out of that ?despicable Civil War. Jefferson's scathing denunciation of slavery which was censored from his Declaration of Independence was finally written into the
U. S. Constitution, Article XIII.
In my Feb. 25, 2000 letter to Bernards Township Court Judge ?Kelleher I cited several vital discrepancies in his conviction of me
(burning of plant life while celebrating the birthday of The Bill of Rights). It ?revealed that
he very illegally sentenced me to slavery ("community service") while he Swore that only criminals may be subjected to slavery and other
forms of involuntary servitude (Article XIII, U.S. Constitution)!
When I was a young man there were some male homo sapiens who would bleat, "Let us join in with this government purchase, this
creeping socialism (nazism), Marxism, communism, King George and Caesar's
insurance policy" but the Americans would answer and shout the Patrick Henry response, "Better dead than red!"
Now today our children are subjected to a carnage of killing before they leave their mother's womb and the survivors are then turned into killing machines by the military Mafia.
And now these brain dead homo sapiens ask, "Why are children ?killing children"!!!
Jesus and Jefferson never taught children to kill and to follow orders of mortals.

Mr. William Kelleher, Judge
Bernards Township Municipal Court
Basking Ridge, N.J.

Re: Summons #1999 3021

Dear Mr. Keileher:
I am enclosing copies of my two page Brief and "unreasonable search"
plea of Feb. 22, 2000. At the end of page two you will note , "I also add my plea of recusation against you and the Court".
Judge Pollock did profusely apologize for his conduct on Jan. 11, 2000 but he refused to recuse the Court. The Prosecutor told you that "quacky criminal" ("quasi criminal")
charges are "not criminal" but as I am sure you know, whatever adjective you put before "criminal" it is still "criminal". The Grand Jury
could and should laugh all of these 'quacky criminal' cases out of the County then our
Courts would not be in a 'log jam'.($$$!)
I hope that you realize that my "crime of "burning plant life in an open fire" (such as smoking tobacco) is as with Article XVIII of
the U.S. Constitution, we never obey illegal laws!
Of ?course you don't have the authority to judge the law and the facts and that is why I insist that a Grand Jury hear this Case and the
myriad of 'spite' Cases and criminal conduct which Bernards Township has lodged
against me for decades.
Concerning your sentencing of me to 'involuntary servitude' ("Community Service") I must here also remind you that it too is extremely illegal! As you know you have subjected me to "involuntary servitude" and it
took rivers of precious blood to finally write into "the supreme law of the land" (Art.
VI, U.S.C.. "Every judge in America must obey it regardless of any State Codes, Laws or Constitutions") that only duly convicted criminals
may be subjected to "involuntary servitude" or other forms of "slavery".
For years I have concluded my letters to public servants with,"Religiously your servant but politically your master" which ?divulges that I
reverence and cherish "Charity" but hate and despise "slavery"!

Dear Public Servants:
For several decades I have been a victim of spiteful criminal conduct at the hands of Bernards Township. The corner of Allen and
Somerville roads exhibits a decade old monument to that continuing spiteful
criminal conduct of which ?alluded when I accused superior Court Judge Diane of
being a criminal at the December 1998 Hearing. At that Hearing Peter ?Messina falsely
swore that he had to take my property because of a "specimen" tree across the road. While under Oath he could not answer what specimen or species it was and how wicked it is that you accuse me of tapping "oak trees"!
Peter Messina lied when he swore that my neighbor's tree was the cause of his taking of my property! The thirty-three feet right-of-way
was between my neighbor's wood rail fence and my barbed wire fence and it is very easy
to build a thirty two foot road within a thirty three feet right-of-way. How wicked it is that you shifted the road away from your Bernards
Township acreage and took my precious property!
On January 11, 2000 I gave to you a further report on your continuing spiteful criminal conduct against me. On November 27, 1999 my
neighbors Debbie Weisman and Joe Dupont stopped by to inform me that you ?had raped a
great number of my trees behind that so-called "red stake line" of October 13th. While we were out there surveying your spiteful criminal
conduct one of your police cars (which have been religiously patrolling that ?unused road
since October 13) passed by but he refused to get out of his car to witness what Debbie and Joe and I were witnessing. I rarely go out to
Somerville Road to witness what you have done there but I have here thirteen pictures
which I took out there on January 9th with Lucy Bare as a witness.
#1 shows the unchanged telephone pole on the old right-of-way near Allen road. It is diagonally across from the "specimen tree" at
which point you cut the road into my property. Lucy is standing behind the ?stump of a
once gorgeous large red cedar tree. It was well behind the right-of-way and
the curb. Now please compare that with picture #2.
#2 shows a much smaller red cedar tree on the Braden property which you well protected even though it is much closer to the curb.
#3 was taken at the north end of my property where your curb is on the old right-of-way line. Lucy is standing behind the stump of a
once gorgeous huge white oak tree which was thirteen feet behind your curb ?I have many
pictures which show the many trees which you spitefully and criminally cut and uprooted behind your curb!
#4,5&6 are more pictures which show how careful you were with my neighbors" trees between Far Hills road and Albrook School. Like
at the corner of Allen and Somerville roads I now have more indelible ?proof of your spiteful criminal conduct!
#7,8,9,10,11 & 12 show the "junk yard" which you placed on my property behind your curb (the "red stake line")!
# 13 shows your acreage on the other side of Somerville road from my property which was not turned into a "junk yard"! Do you know of anyone in New Jersey who has exhibited more
patience than have ?I during the past one third century?!

Dear Neighbors:
I and a telephone have resided here on the farm since 1928 and my bills have always been paid religiously and promptly until that Corporation of the State of New Jersey ordered me to receive "subsidies" and now to
pay "subsidies". In your copy of my 1/11 letter which I mailed to the ?Phone Company you will note the definition of the word "Subsidy: An
aid, tax or tribute granted by parliament to the king for the urgent occasions of the
king, to be levied on every subject of ability, according to the value of his lands and goods." Blimey!

Dear Tom:
Why did you arrest me from attending the Town Meeting last night?!
Your excuse that I refused to pass through your ?arms ?detector was very feeble and illegal (Art. IV, U.S.C.). Because of your Police 'celebration' the place was crawling with
your armed men and ladies some of whom received "promotions" (salary increases).
One week ago yesterday when I insisted upon my cherished Article IV,Bill of Rights guarantee of freedom from unreasonable searches the Court accepted my plea and allowed me to enter without being searched.
When I complained that The Authorities (we-the-people) had been denuded of "arms"
and that we were surrounded by public servants who were armed to the teeth Judge Pollock did assure me that he did not have arms under his
robe but when I then asked him if he went through that obnoxious time wasting "arms"
detector he answered, "No!".
Tom, is my threat to you physical or political?! When you receive a salary of almost six-figures a year (as compared to my yearly
income of three-figures) I suppose that I am a total threat to you.
Was it a coincidence that yesterday the Telephone Company ?ruthlessly and illegally disconnected my phone?!

Dear Editor:
How much more harassment, intimidation, persecution and impeding ?must we-the-people endure in the land of the free and home of the
brave?!
The "pseudo aristocrats" (T.J.) freely enter and traverse our 'public' places while "bearing arms" (even in their courtrooms) while
we-the-people, the "natural aristocrats" (T.J.) re harassed, intimidated, persecuted and
impeded every time we turn around!
By what right can three people (or less) subject ?we-the-peasants to intimidating electronic devices and impede us from entering our public places and from engaging in our public duties?
The last time I left for Town hall I was forced to remove from my pockets my keys and my change but not my trusty old pocket knife
because they had already stolen that last fall when they so ruthlessly and illegally threw me into jail. However when I arrived and passed
through their hideous weapons detector their alarm went off an they ?then took an
ominous electronic hand device and closely rubbed it all over my body. When
I asked them what that, was, all about they did not answer!
Is it a coincidence that ever since then I, who have never had
stomach
problems, have had stomach: cramps?!
I have now been ordered to enter their courtroom on one of most sacred holidays, the Birthday of The Father of Our Country, to
respond to their Summons against me for "burning plant life in an open fire" during our Liberty Bonfire Celebration on Bill, of Rights Day, December 15.

Dear Tom:
Recently the mentality of Bernards Township was exposed when I was
ordered to appear at your Court on one of the most Sacred Holidays, George Washington's Birthday, to answer your charges that my Bill of
Rights Birthday Liberty Bonfire was illegal!
As you have perhaps read in The Bernardsville News or elsewhere your
"arms detector' is nauseating to me in more ways than The reason that you, our public servants, put it there is because you
are scared of we-the-people, don't trust us and regard us as a threat. I guarantee you that our feelings about you are totally mutual.
How illegal and revolting it has been for some time when you stationed your armed men at the locked Town hall doors as long lines of us
waited while the Township Committee conducted SECRET meetings inside (Art. IV,
Sec. 4, U.S.C. It is impossible in "a republican form of government" for ?the authorities, we-the-people, to keep secrets from we-the-people!).
Now you cause even more long lines by installing your odious "arms detector"! The last time I was there I had made sure that I was
not carrying any metal on my person yet your alarm went off and then your armed ?men
suspiciously spent much time rubbing a hideous electronic device all over ray private 'Temple' (my body).
These are all exercises in ANARCHY with a total disregard for the
"supreme law of the land" (Art. VI, U.S.C.)! Are you now going to install "arms detectors" at all Township gatherings and intersections?!
("He has erected a multitude of new Offices, and sent ?hither swarms of Officers to
harass our people, and eat out their substance.")!
The idea that we-the-people& are disarmed while the Judge, the Township Committee and you are armed to the teeth and not required to
submit to your obnoxious "arms detector" smacks of a totalitarian form of
government totally contrary to your Sacred Oath.
Jefferson said, "Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty"! Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty
or give me death"!
If anyone orders an American to "Shut up" there shall be
bloodshed! It
is no different than ordering Jesus to "Shut up"!

going
to prevent me from attending your Court hearing because I shall refuse to submit to your Satanic "arms detector"?!

9:30 A.M.

"NEW COURT DATE"
Summons #3021

Dear Mr. Pollock;
These criminal charges have been brought against me by the State of New Jersey which has guaranteed to me a trial by jury by my peers. You are not one of my peers. My peers are seated behind me in this room. You
are the last person in Bernards Township whom I would wish to pass ?judgment upon me.
Last January 11th when I appeared here before you , you disclosed that you are quite prejudice & when you accused me of being
"anti-semetic"
to which I responded, "I refuse to be pro-semetic. I am pro-American." You seemed to be angry because I had written in a "letter" some time ?ago the definition of the Day of Atonement Kol Nidre Prayer from page 539, Volume
VIII of the Jewish Encyclopedia.
Several weeks ago while on vacation near Vermont I learned that their State Legislature. was considering the legalization of sodomy and
I then wrote to them that my 1958 Webster's Dictionary defined "sodomy" ?as a
"crime". Now the sodomites and Semites are angry at me because I am quoting the definitions of words.
I now have for you another word definition which I have been quoting of late. It is "Persecute, to afflict constantly so as to injure or distress, as because of one's religion, beliefs, etc."
If you in your position accuse me of being anti-semetic or anti-sodomite you are persecuting me. You are not to be intimidating
me from expressing my beliefs, opinions etc. in public. You are paid to express your
beliefs and opinions in public. In America we should be encouraged to exercise that great right and privilege. Even before we go into
the voting booth we should express opinions. Jefferson said, "The force of public OPINION cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed.
Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own Government".
My opinion is that presidential candidate Alan Keyes has the right opinions. I hope that you don't now accuse me of being anti-white
because Mr. Keyes is a black man!
Today I am a criminal for the same reason that Jesus was a ?criminal which is that they have legalized sodomy and illegalized free
speech.
Again I insist that this matter be judged by a jury of my peers which you Solemnly Swore to uphold!!!
I shall say no more. I now wish to return to my maple processing.

politically your master,

Dear Mr. Pollock:
How disgusting it is to me that you have ordered this Case to be heard on the birthday of The Father of Our Country. I was schooled to
have profound reverence and respect for George Washington's birthday.
If Bernards Township had an ounce of that reverence and respect we would not
be here today but their reverence ?seems to be for the almighty dollar!
That is why the enemies of Jesus, Jefferson and The U.S. Constitution have
decreed that our holidays are Mondays.
I believe that George Washington used the word "duty" more than ?any other word. The enemies of America, whether we call them
sodomites, semites or whatever, especially hate George Washington because his first
duty was always to God and his second duty was always to "the second ?greatest event
in history" the U.S. Constitution which reveals in Article VII that in America we have only one"Lord" and His name is Jesus.

In my letter of Jan. 12 to the Chief of Police I indicated that I
plan to file criminal charges against my accusers in the Corporation of Bernards
Township. Since they shall certainly not cooperate with me in that endeavor
I hereby request a change in venue, namely The Superior Court of New Jersey.

Dear Public Servants:
-~ ?Why has Bernards Township treated me so contemptibly and
robbed me of
my "life, liberty and property" with no "due process of law"
during the past
one third century?! Don't you all pledge 'liberty' justice and a trial by jury for Irwin'?
Two days ago I checked your Somerville Road project and I took many pictures. It is very commendable of you that your stooges went to
such pains to protect and preserve a sickly spindly little sapling ?on the ?Gerhardt property which is only inches behind your new curb. They were ?equally
careful with a large oak tree on the Laroia property which is just inches behind your new curb and underneath the electric wires. Again they went to
great pains to protect and preserve a large red cedar ?tree on the Braden property which is just inches behind your new curb and underneath ?the electric wires. It is very commendable of you that you so nicely protected
and preserved the saplings and ?stone wall in front of the Albrook school.
Now let us observe what your stooges have done to my. property when they needlessly raised the level of the road there, raped my land far behind the
adequate thirty three feet right-of-way and even far behind your Sworn to "red stake line"'
You have turned my property into a junk yard while you own the property across the road from me!! Here is just a partial list of what I found and
took pictures of on my property the day before yesterday: First of all I found very little of my timber and firewood since you stole and sold most of
it! I found two huge red signs faced up on the ground, hundreds of feet of large heavy white plastic strewn all around, an old abandoned seven feet
high 10,000 pound fork lift, all sorts of old plywood and debris, a broken old ladder, several large rolls of old red plastic fencing, sand piles, at least four empty red spray paint cans, yellow plastic over a bag
of discarded cement, rolls of rusty old barbed wire fencing etc.!!
At the north end of my property where your new curb is on the old ?right-of-way line you raped my trees far behind your curb. Thirteen ?feet behind
your curb and twenty feet from the Smith property line is a stump of a beautiful 24 inch one-hundred-year-old oak tree which you needlessly cut along with hundreds of others.
At the south end of my property where your new curb is on the old right-of-way line I had a beautiful red cedar tree very similar to the Braden's
cedar tree. Your stooges failed to remove that evidence and the stump of that tree is very visible well behind your new curb!
I read in last week's Bernardsville News~that you are paying someone $20,000 to plant twenty dinky trees back on my property where you needlessly and criminally raped hundreds. Does it not seem mighty strange ?that you are paying that 'someone' far more than you offered to pay me for all
of my property which you stole from me?! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Why were you so careful with my neighbors' property just inches ?behind your new curb while causing so much devastation to my property
FAR behind your new curb?!
Is it not obvious why I have brought Criminal Harassment charges against Bernards Township for ?one third century of criminal ?taxation and other confiscation of my "life, liberty and property"?!

Mr: Tom Kelly, Chief Law Enforcer
Bernards Township Police
Basking Ridge, N.J.

Dear Tom:
Though it probably pains me as much as you, for our Bill of Rights Liberty Bonfire celebration on December 15 at my corner which ?Bernards
Township so criminally raped several years ago, we erected a sign which reads, "Police Chief Tom Kelly, TRAITOR!".
Yesterday was a continuing example of your tragic failure to enforce The Law. Your Charges against me concerning that Liberty Bonfire
were introduced at 9:30 A.M. in 'your' Bernards Township Courtroom ?where I exposed your miserable flag with that yellow streak on it and I
then unfurled and displayed my revered U.S. Flag which represents "the supreme law of the land" (Article VI, U.S.C.).
As usual 'your' judge totally denied my Glorious Constitutional Rights and even went so far as to accuse me of being "anti-Semitic" to which I
responded, "I refuse to be pro-Semitic! I am pro-American!"
Thus I have now learned that 'your' judge is pro-Semitic and now dares to pass judgement on my American Rights of "life, liberty and ?property"
(Articles V, VI and VII, U.S.C.)!
Last evening I returned to that miserable Room where you have now installed a weapons detector (Yesterday morning I questioned
'your' judge why he allowed all of those gun slingers around me). Last evening ?I told your employer, Bernards Township, that they had criminally raped
hundreds of feet of my precious property thirteen feet behind their new curb while carefully preserving many of my neighbors' trees just inches behind that new
curb. Those liars then even accused me of maple tapping "oak trees' while virtually every tree in that "red stake area" was a sugar maple tree
excepting a large red maple in front of the 'historic house' which I never tapped!
When I stop in at your Office to file Criminal Charges against your employer will you cooperate with me?!

I have here my U.S. Flag which I revere and obey. It is a symbol for that Glorious United States Constitution. Anyone who pledges to obey It and
then burns it, including figuratively, is guilty of "treason", Article III,Section 3, U.S.C.!
I have been fighting for this Glorious Symbol and Document for over sixty years! I am now dying for It!
Is not our American Heritage so plainly and indelibly written that every child knows what It is all about?!

Mr. Tom Kelly, Chief of Police..
Liberty Corner, N.J.

Dear Tom:
I have received your unsigned memorandum of December 13 in which you did not respond to my letter of December 10 to you.
Since you have lived in Liberty Corner for years you must know that for years and many times a year I hold Liberty Bonfires on various ?patriotic
dates such as the birthdays of Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, ?Patriots Day,
July Fourth, Constitution Day, Bill of Rights Day, Boston Tea Party Day (Boteapa), Christmas, Easter etc.
About one quarter of a century ago in an article of the Courier News the reporter asked me if I was going to get permission to ignite one of my
Liberty Bonfires and they printed my Patrick Henry answer' which you learned as a child.
One year ago my Liberty Sign read, "Lawman Tom Kelly: Why don't you obey your Sacred Oath of 'I guarantee to Irwin a trial by jury?'"
Since then you have aided and abetted those gangsters who needlessly and ?criminally
stole my property along Somerville road While you Swore that only a jury has the power to take Irwin's property, liberty or life (Bill of ?Rights, V, VI,
and VII) which is so simple a child can understand it!
For many years now in every stage of these oppressions I have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. My repeated ?petitions have been answered only by repeated injury (I trust that you know who wrote those words 223 years ago)
Tom, I have no choice but to accuse you of being a TRAITOR and again I shall insist upon a trial by jury if you wish to make an issue of that!
In Vermont it is not necessary to speak or write that simple command since on their Summonses it states, "If you wish to receive a trial by jury
in this matter please put an X in this box.

Somerset County Board of Taxation
Somerville, N.J.

Dear Neighbors:
Our records reveal that Bernards Township has been guilty of delinquent taxation against me for over 32 years. I doubt that there has ever been a
more flagrant case of over-taxation in the history of our State!
The B.T. Tax Assessor did promise while under Oath over eleven years ago to produce documents concerning that phantom "one-half-acre"
which she claims I do not farm. You know that she did the same thing about ?ten years ago and again failed to obey her Oath! Last June she vanished ?when my Case came before you but the Township Surveyor did testify concerning that phantom "one-half-acre" and when I questioned him about the dimensions of
one-half-acre he could not answer that crucial question!!!
For over thirty years Bernards Township has been ?subjecting me to terrorism by periodically denying my farmland application ?even though they are all very aware that each year I "expect to make" (Farm land Assessment ?Act) the required amount.

My old sugar bush to the east of my house is 'petering out'. Thirty one years ago I started to
develop a new sugar bush out along ?Somerville road
which has grown very nicely. Over ten years ago B.T. criminally ?and needlessly destroyed many of those young maple trees at the corner of Allen and Somerville roads. I was then forced to replant maple trees there on my raped property but I shall die long before those trees are large enough to tap!
Recently B.T. again criminally and needlessly raped even more of my maple trees from my new sugar bush on Somerville road! They cut ?down, chopped up and stole fifty percent of my tappable trees in that new sugar bush! Now they are clapping their hands in glee and shouting, "Goody goody, now he will no longer be able to qualify for farmland assessment"!
As you know each year, I "expect to" harvest twelve of my venison ?which graze right up to my doorstep. Since B.T. has converted Allen ?road into a
speedway most of my venison are destroyed by autos. I am lucky that I have not been killed there, especially by the B.T. Police, as I cross the road to
harvest from my neighbor's sugar bush!
TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
HARVEST ONE VENISON THIS FALL BUT that Farmland Assessment Act very wisely
protects me from such harvest failures, DOES IT NOT?!
In every stage of, these Oppressions 'I' have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. 'My' repeated' petitions have been answered only by
repeated injury!!!
Wednesday, Dec.15, is the 208th Birthday of that Glorious Bill of Rights! Shall it now take more rivers of blood to enforce It?! I pray not!

Dear Public Servants:
On Nov. 23 your police swore while under Oath that your ?"red ?stakes"
were on the 'new' property line. They swore that I was not behind ?those
stakes when I pulled them out. I have pictures which clearly show that I
was behind that 'line' when I pulled them out!
On Nov. 27 two of my neighbors came to visit me and to notify me that
you were raping my land behind those 'red stakes'. One of them is ?a
photographer with The Bernardsville News. Now I have even more pictures
in my archives which expose your past criminal activities on my
private property!
One week from today is the 208th birthday of our Glorious Bill of
Rights! As any child can understand,Articles V, VI and VII ?clearly
guarantee
that only a jury has the power to take my " property, liberty or ?life"
which reveals that you have committed "treason" (Article III, Section ?3,
U.S.C.)!
On the evening of Dec. 15 I am going to ignite a Liberty Bonfire on my
property at the corner of Allen and Somerville roads which property you
tried to take from me through eminent domain about ten years ago
and which property I still own.
Not only did you then needlessly and criminally bring eminent ?domain
charges against me you also then raped all of my beautiful trees ?from my
private property there including thirty sugar maple trees. Today there is
a stone monument there which marks the spot where you raped my ?gorgeous
100-
feet-tall tulip tree. It is twenty feet behind my fence.
On Bill of Rights Day we shall witness your criminal conduct ?there ten
years ago as well as your criminal conduct there this last year ?in this
century of anarchy!
This is what Noah Webster said about such anarchy: "Before a standing
army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost
every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce
unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed,
and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can
be, on ?any pretense, raised in the United States."
This is what George Mason, Co-Author of the Second Amendment, ?wrote
about such anarchy: "A well regulated militia, composed of the
Gentlemen,
Freeholders, and other Freemen was necessary to protect our ancient laws
and liberty from the standing army... And we do each of us, for ourselves
respectively, promise and engage to keep a good Fire-lock in proper Order
& to furnish Ourselves as soon as possible with, & always keep by us, one
Pound of Gunpowder, four Pounds of Lead, one Dozen Gun Flints, and a pair
of Bullet Moulds, with a Cartouch Box, or powder horn, and Bag for ?
Balls."
This is what Patrick Henry wrote about such anarchy and those who spit
upon the U.S. Constitution: "Guard with jealous attention the
public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.
unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you
give up that force, you are ruined."

Dear Neighbors:
I have learned from a radio broadcaster at Tuckerton in South ?Jersey
that at Trenton there is an escrow account on file in my name.

That escrow account has to do with my property at the corner of Allen
and Somerville roads which Bernards Township tried to seize through
eminent
domain about ten years ago. If I were to accept that money I would be
committing a crime because today I still own and occupy that land in
question! At that time ten years ago Bernards Township did ?criminally
and needlessly rape all of my beautiful trees from that land but that is
another matter.
On Nov. 23, 1999 when Judge Pollock of the Bernards Township Municipal
Court criminally fined me and subjected me to a jail sentence he again
quoted Oliver Wendell Holmes concerning our responsibilities ?(fires in
theaters) but he seemed to miss the primary point of that lesson.
For instance, it is generally conceded that 'Nero is fiddling while
America burns' thus I am doing all within my power to use that fabulous
'fire
extinguished' called the united States Constitution to quench that fire.
If there is a fire in a crowded theater I must calmly inform the people
and engage their help to extinguish the fire.
I am doing all within my power to insure that it shall not now take more
rivers of blood to enforce Articles XIII, VII, VI, V etc. of

?Fine, but no jail for Irwin Richardt
By W. JACOB PERRY
Staff Writer Bernardsville News
908 766 3900

BERNARDS TWP. - Irwin Richardt of Liberty Corner was
fined but avoided jail as a Municipal Court judge made a split ruling
Tuesday on charges that Richardt interfered with township efforts to
widen a road along his property.
Judge Robert Pollock, whose ruling followed a two-and-a-half
hour trial, found Richardt's guilty of interfering with a government
function for having pulled out surveying stakes along Somerville
'Road. He acquitted Richardt on a charge of defiant trespassing.
The conviction carried a potential fine of $1,000 and up to six
months in jail. Pollock opted for a fine of $300, plus $155 in miscellaneous costs and fines, and he suspended a 20- day jail sentence on
the condition that Richardt not interfere further with the road project.
In an interview afterward, Richardt reciteted 'his belief that the"
township could not condemn any portion of his property without
giving him a trial by jury. "The whole thing is very demoralizing because our Constitution and the New Jersey Constitution are so plain that an 8-year-old
child can understand them," he said.
"I don't have to hire a wizard to gain those rights," he added. "Our
whole judicial system is based on a right to a trial by jury."
As to whether he would appeal, Richardt said, "I'm appealing to,
the jury, We the People." The case has drawn widespread
attention and led Richardt to receive a record-breaking 532 write-in votes for the Township Committee on Nov. 2. Richardt, who is well-known locally for his strict
adherence to the U.S. Constitution, has vehemently objected to
the township's taking of his land.
The township condemned a seven-foot-wide strip of Richardt's
22.5-acre Sons of tiberty Farm as (Please see Fine on page 2.)

Continued from Page 1
part of its plan to widen Somerville Road. After contractors arrived on Oct.13, Richardt allegedly tossed three surveying sticks into the road. He was arrested,
charged and released on $1,000 bail.

At the start of Tuesday's trial, Richardt read a statement in which he accused the court of ?"shabby conduct" and "malfeasance," saying he never received
notice of the trial date and had learned about it through the
grapewine."

He criticized his bail as excessive. "Every township policeman knows I am of infinitely higher character than former Somerset County Prosecutor Nicholas Bissell," he said, referring the late convicted felon.

Richardt added that many people had offered him tips on how to "beat" the system. "I am not here to beat the system," he declared.
"I am here to restore the system."

A recess was later called to allow Richardt's court-appointed attorney, Brian Sige of Somerset County Criminal Case Management, to confer with him. Sige said he had written to Richardt the previous Thursday but received no response and had just met him.

When the trial resumed,, Sige said Richardt wanted a postponement and also wanted Pollock ?recuse himself because he was a township employee. The judge denied both requests.

The trial then proceeded, with the township calling seven witnesses - Township Engineer and Planner Peter Messina, Township Attorney John Belardo, police Lt. Dennis Sakos, Michael Somerday, a construction foreman for the contractor, ?Patrolman ?Daniel Snyder, Patrolman Hank Warner and police Lt. James Anthony.

There were no witnesses for the defense.

After the testimony, Sige asked to have the charges dismissed.
Richardt had tossed the stakes from land he genuinely thought
was still his, Sige said. Pollock denied the request.

The judge found Richardt guilty of interfering with a government
function. He said the tqwnship had legally condemned the land
and that Richardt's purpose in tossing the stakes was to interfere

Pollock dismissed the charge of defiant trespassing, saying police
on the scene had only told Richardt not to touch the stakes.
In issuing a sentence, Pollock acknowledged Sige's argument
that Richardt should not be jailed because the project has been allowed to proceed.
But the judge told Richardt that individual rights must be pursued
through legal means. "The Constitution does not permit the conduct
which occurred on Oct. 13," he said.

Somerville, N.J.

Dear Neighbors:
Yesterday I was subjected to the most despicable conduct imaginable from a guardian of our fabulous judicial system, Judge Robert
Pollock of the Bernards Township Municipal Court!
When he dons that black robe and sits next to that United States ?Flag,The U.S. Constitution, he is bound to obey, enforce and protect It above all other things!
For one third of a century in every stage of my oppressions I have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms! He totally refused to acknowledge his Sacred Oath that he is ?"bound" by "the supreme law of the land" regardless "of any State Constitutions or laws" (Article VI, U.S.C.)! He totally refused to acknowledge that Irwin ?L. Richardt (who cancalled his Social Security Inmsurance Contract one third of a ?century ago) shall never be deprived of property, liberty or life excepting by a jury (Articles V, VI and VII, Bill of Rights)!
How mortified I was yesterday when he suggested that the Sacred Land which my parents and brother died for is in his eyes worth lots ?of gold and as such I should be willing to exchange it for 'liberty and ?justice'!
Oh how I wept last evening at the Bernards Township Committee ?Meeting
as I read to them that grand old poem by Longfellow "Ship of State" which as a little child I memorized at the Liberty Corner Grammar School over sixty years ago! "Are all with thee, are all with thee" (United States Constitution)! !!
I am herewith including copies of what I delivered to the Court yesterday.

Judge fines Bernards Twp. man in dispute over land
By Joe Tyrrell
somerset@starledger.com

STAR-LEDGER STAFF

Bernards Township and resident
Irwin Richardt settled for a split decision yesterday.
Municipal Court Judge Robert
Pollock fined Richardt $300, plus another $155 in court costs and fees,
for interfering with a construction crew staking out land for a township
road project in October.
But Pollock cleared Richardt of dispute over the widening of Somerville
Road from 18 feet to 32 feet in
Liberty Comer.
The road serves The Hills, a sprawling development that extends from
neighboring Bedminster. It needed to be widened and bicycle paths added
for safety, township engineer Peter Messina testified.
Richardt, who lives a Spartan lifestyle on his 22-acre property,
objected to the loss of a strip of road frontage - 7 feet by 400 feet -
for
-I the widening. With a Jeffersonian view of individual rights, Richardt
argues that the taking is only legal if approved by a jury.
"I was engaged in protecting and defending my property" by removing
stakes placed to mark the new course of the road, Richardt said. Bernards
police arrested him and ball was set at $1,000, "although they all know
that the last place I would flee from is Liberty Comer," he said.
That's not the way it works, P01-"defiant trespass" for objecting to the
work while standing on land seized from him by the township through
eminent domain. In between, Richardt and the
judge lectured each other on the Constitution, the oaths local officials
take to uphold the law and the responsibilities of citizens to respect
the public good.
The right to a jury trial, protection from unreasonable seizure and
freedom of speech all figured in the lock said, after Township Attorney
John Belardo and others testified about the legal process Bernards went
through last year to condemn the land, notify Richardt, get approval from
the late Superior Court Judge Wilfred Diana and set aside $6,000 for the
acquisition. "This court is compelled to apply
existing law in this state," Pollock said.
As for yesterday's hearing, Pollock

PLEASE SEE RULING, PAGE 23

Ruling
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21

said the state Supreme Court has "unequivocally" ruled that "there is no
right to a jury trial in a disorderly persons case."
His constitutional arguments quashed, Richardt initially refused to
participate in the hearing. But attorney Brian Cige, appointed by the
court because Richardt did not waive
his right to representation, frequently huddled with him and questioned
township witnesses.
Under his cross-examination, local police and others testified that
Richardt only had been told not to pull up stakes for the road project,
not to leave the area.
In the end, Pollock gave Richardt another lecture, saying, "The
expression of constitutional rights cannot be unlimited to gratify the
self" without consideration for citizens' responsibilities.
The judge could have set penalties of up to $1,000 in fines and six
months in the county jail.
"I'm appealing," said Richardt (908 647 1196). But he quickly added that
might not mean an appeal in court.

Sons of Liberty Farm is a maple syrup farm
in danger by the local municipality of Bernards
Township. The picture you see is the local police
arresting me for trespassing on my own property.
I have never received any compensation for both
land seizures of the Township!
All Mr. Richardt wants is a trial by jury on his recent arrest. Judge Robert Pollock (908) 204-3035 does not want to grant Mr. Richart what the Supreme Court said Mr. Duncan should have had... a trial by jury!
See below and ask Bernards Township if they
honor the ?US Constitution at webmaster@bernards.org.

? ? ? ? ? *** Duncan v. Louisiana ***

? ? ? ? ? ? ? 7-2 vote, March 20, 1968
Duncan was convicted on a misdemeanor battery and sentenced to sixty days in jail and a $150 fine. This conviction was not the result of a jury trial, but was instead the unilateral decision of a municipal judge. The state of Louisiana allowed crimes with penalties without the potential of a severe punishment to be tried by a judge in such
fasion. Duncan appealed to the Supreme Court, stating that he was denied his Sixth Amendment right to a trial by jury. The Court agreed
with him and held that his crime was not a petty offense and did require a jury trial. The majority admitted that some "petty offenses" may not require a trial; however, it left these undefined. In a previous decision, the Court had ruled that a right was fundamental only if a civilized system could not be imagined without it. This decision
incorporated the judicial procedural rights located in the Bill of Rights into the "Anglo- American regime of ordered liberty."

Dear County Prosecutor Forrest,

I am writing to you about an apparent mess up by the township of Bernards regarding to Mr. Irwin Richardt.
The implications are of such that I think that the County should look into this. ?Mr. Richardt's swears that he never received any money for the seizure of his land most recently and 10 years ago. ?Although the mayor claims that he was paid
where is the paper trail?

Please have someone from your office contact Mr. Richardt about what happened to him.

Hopefully there is someone looking after the rights which we all have under the US Constitution.

Sincerely,

Joseph Rene DuPont

Farmer arrested in land dispute
Eminent domain fight pits man against Bernards Twp. road project

STAR-LEDGER STAFF

Farmer Irwin Richardt didn't fire
any shots, but his "Jeffersonian constitutionalist" stand still provoked a
skirmish with Bernards Township police and road workers yesterday.
With fall colors beginning to flame in the foliage, Richardt sought to protect a line of sugar maples from the township's plan to widen Somerville Road.
After a contracting crew planted orange stakes amid the trees, Richarrit followed, pulling up the markers while engaging police in a debate about the Founding Fathers' legal
intentions.
For the second time in a decade,
the township has used eminent domain to take a piece of Richardt's Sons of Liberty Farm, a bucollc tract that recalls Bernards' colonial past,not its rapidly developing present.

The 22-acre tract includes Richardt's 1800s house, clapboard on a log foundation, along with the maples that he taps for syrup as well as many other trees. But the land also is embroiled in a 20th-century controversy, in the form of The Hills development.

The 2,600-umt suburb, which sprawls across the border from neighboring Bedminster, has an entrance on Allen Road opposite ?Richardt's property. Last year, now-de-ceased Superior Court Judge Wilfred Diana allowed the township to take a 7-foot strip along 400 feet of Richardt's frontage on Somerville Road.
Richardt described that rulling and a previous one giving the township a similar bite along Allen Road as "absolutely contrary to the Constitution." Thesday night, he went to the township committee to restate
his position that Americans "shall never be deprived of property except
by a jury".

"Property rights are the PAGE 24

"They charged me with

- IRWlN RICHARDT,
owner, Sons of Liberty Farm

Arrested farmer disputes takeover

by a jury."
When workers for a contractor
tried to start work yesterday, Richardt warned them to stay off the
property, said Pat Monaco of the township engineering department.
Marmed, they contacted pollee and started an impromptu debate.
"Property rights are the foundation of our system," Richardt told Officers Dan Snyder and Henry Werner, pressing copies of the Constitution on them.
"You're putting us in an awkward position," Werner said, as Richardt
kept purnng up stakes.
It got even more awkward when
Richardt asked to see their authoriza-
tion to take the property.
"All of the paperwork is back at
the township building," said police
Lt. James Anthony.

Richardt pulled up another stake, Anthony reluctantly ordered his arrest. "I respect his position, but recourse isn't in the street, it's in the
courts," the lieutenant said.
Police at the scene declined to say what charges, if any, they would file, and a desk officer said later, "I don't know what you're talking
about."
"They charged me with trespassing on my own property, if you can
believe it," Richardt said last night. "They didn't have any paperwork at the scene, but when I was in jail, they showed me a document dated October 1998, and the hearing before Diana wasn't until December," he said.
After a telephone conference that he was excluded from, Richardt said, his bail was set at $1,000. The Rev. ? Norman Dietsch, pastor of the Evangelical Fellowship Chapel, put up the money, Richardt said.
"It is his livelihood; he does make maple syrup" from trees being taken for the road widening, Dietsch said.
"If they would give him just compensation, it would be different."
Mayor Diana Boquist said the township issued a $7,000 check for
the land, aithough Richardt never cashed it.
