57.) The truth about lawyers, judges, and the courts. And why Indigenous People can never get Justice, "Truth and Reconciliation of Treaties" from the courts.(15 min. read)

First, let us be clear on this- the court system of the United States and Canada are tools of colonization, designed to go against the principles of justice, truth, good faith, democracy, equality, and respect for human rights for all Indigenous People, their Children and the future generations of Indigenous People.

The courts are designed to divide and conquer indigenous people and get them to fight each other and not come together with one mind, and do what is best for the people. Which is the way of "indigenous original instructions," that were given to indigenous people from the Creator . The courts are unnatural to all indigenous people.

All the rights that the Indigenous people and individuals have lost through the court system, must now be recognized and reinstated whole, through the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP).

Any honest lawyer will tell you that you can never get "justice" from the courts. Any honest lawyer will tell you that the courts are not designed to give justice. Courts can only administer the "Law". A country like the U.S. or Canada, pass legislation into laws, that must be enforced by the courts. It's that simple. The courts are legally forbidden, from creating their own laws.

Justice, Truth, Right and Wrong, honoring a Treaty, Good Faith, Democracy, Equality and Respect for Human Rights have nothing to do with a Court's decision. All court decisions are based on lawyer arguments and past decisions of court cases, which are called "annotations."

If a lawyer likes to brag, he will say "he can win a case in spite of the truth." And that is how it really is. The truth does not matter in court.

It's a contest of who can present the best argument. This is all courts can legally do. 

In court, the Witnesses are always under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. In court, the Lawyers are never under oath to tell the truth. And in regards to that, the judge and the courts are not sworn to tell the truth, they are sworn to administer the law, that the government's legislature has passed into law. And this law has nothing to do with the truth. These laws are designed and legislated for colonization of the indigenous people.

This is why Indigenous Nations and People must never go into court, especially with treaty matters. Indigenous Nations and People have lost so much of their treaty rights through the courts. And lawyers will purposely take Indigenous nations and individuals to court on a treaty matter, knowing full well that the court is going to rule against them. The lawyer knows this, and brings the individual to court with the sole purpose of chipping away at the treaties. The lawyer knows these losses in court become legal precedent against the treaties.

Now, lets talk about what happens in law school. The class instructor will pick student A and student B. And a subject matter will be chosen for a point of argument between these two students, for example- "Indian land claims". The instructor will tell student A, you will be giving arguments for Indian Land Claims. And then the instructor will tell student B, you will be giving arguments against "Indian Land Claims". Then both students give their arguments.  Once both students are done presenting their argument, the instructor will then tell student A, now you're going to be against "Indian Land Claims". And student B, you're going to be for "Indian Land Claims". Now proceed with your arguments.

I'm giving this example to show you that this is why lawyers like practicing law, as I was told by a lawyer. The legal subject matter of a lawsuit does not matter, because in the lawyer's eyes, equal arguments can be shown for both sides of any issue. It really just comes down to which lawyer can present the best argument to the judge. Which lawyer is the best "silver tongue devil", or perhaps who has the best "forked tongue". LOL. To use an old racist, stereotype phrase.

And it's usually about the third year of Law School that the instructor tells the students that if they can't stomach getting guilty people off of heinous crimes they have committed, then they should go into administrative law, public defender or working in the district attorney or crown attorney offices.

And many lawyers pride themselves on the fact that they don't have to really understand the subject matter. Because what lawyers do is they utilize all the tricks of manipulation, to present the best argument to the courts. 

In fact there is a book that lawyers often refer to as the "lawyer's book of dirty tricks". The title of the book is : Questioning Techniques and Tactics by Jeffrey l. Kestler. The current 2023, 3rd edition of this book costs $1,237.00. You can find earlier editions that are 30 or 40 years old that are much less expensive, but they don't give you the latest "dirty tricks". A few subjects from the table of contents of this book- "verbal and non-verbal ploys, psychological aspects of questioning strategy, handling of particular types of witnesses.."

Here's an example from that "lawyer's book of dirty tricks". This will show you what lawyers will do, to gain an edge, no matter how small it may appear to the lay person. The Court is in session and a witnesses is testifying for the opposing council. So the lawyer for the other side is sitting at the desk, listening, with his notepad and a pencil, not a pen. As the witness for the opposing council is testifying, the witness will be saying something that really is not important to the case, but at just that moment the opposing lawyer will break the point of his pencil and look angry or just stare down at the notepad. Now remember, when anyone is testifying, that courtroom is completely silent. So that pencil point breaking is loud and gets everyone's attention, including the witness's attention. It's meant to distract the witness. So the witness will stop his train of thought and think- 'why did the lawyer get mad at what he was saying. It wasn't important. But wait maybe it is, maybe that lawyer knows something that he doesn't...' This type of stressful internal dialogue starts happening with the witness. And it can cloud the witnesses memory. That pencil point breaking and the lawyer's reaction, can throw the witness off track of what he was saying. The witness may forget to say something that was important to the case. And that was the whole point for the lawyer to break the pencil point.

This is what lawyers do. They practice patience way beyond that of any normal person. And lawyers are master manipulators. They use body language, tempo of speech, move things around on a table, break pencil points, wink at a witness, micro expressions, mispronounced names to get the person thinking off the subject of what they are talking to the lawyer about. The lawyers created a language that only they understand, so the public must go to them, to go to court. The list goes on and on...

Now, do these courts sound like the place where indigenous people should go to get the truth, justice and good faith to decide the fate of their Nation, themselves, their children and their unborn coming generations? Are Indigenous Nations and People supposed to trust the future of all coming generations in a lawyer's "Crap Shoot, a roll of the dice?" Are indigenous people supposed to put all their trust in a lawyer, who believes he does not have to know that much of the subject at hand, because he can present a better legal argument than the opposing lawyer. The truth doesn't matter to these lawyers or the courts. This is not putting lawyers in the negative light, this is not saying that lawyers and judges are bad people. This is the truth about how lawyers really think.

And when they break for lunch, the two lawyers opposing each other in the case, go for lunch together. And discuss how the case is going to go. And even if one of the lawyers knows that they're going to lose the case, they still continue  because that's how they make their money. And sometimes, as they proceed through the case, they take the case apart piece by piece, until they is no case to present. Collect the money at the end, and say "we did the best we could. It's the law".

Next- lawyers, judges and law enforcement are all one family. This is how they refer to themselves. As "One Family". They socialized together, they drink together. And as the saying goes among themselves- "you do not want to do anything to get your family mad at you." This means that everything that lawyers and judges do, is with that understanding. They do not want to do anything to get their family mad at them. And lawyers are always looking towards a judgeship. That's how they become a judge, a lawyer plays the game completely, with and for his family. With the right connections they become a judge. And the clients are not his family. This is not judging lawyers, this is the truth about how it really is. And if you can find an honest lawyer, they will tell you this, as they have told me. 

And lawyers refer to themselves as the "Last Privileged Class". Meaning, they view themselves as above all other people. They look upon themselves as being better than the general public and look down on the general public. A carryover from English law.

Now a word on the oath that lawyers and judges must take. They must vow and swear to protect the constitution of their Nation State or Providence, in all situations. They cannot do anything that would jeopardize their Nation's sovereignty, like indigenous treaties. Lawyers and judges can never put their nation at a disadvantage, in any situation. They can get "disbarred" for this, as it violates their oath. Being disbarred means the lawyer can no longer practice law, because the government takes away their license to practice law. Sometimes disbarrment is for a specific period of time, for example-a year. Or permanently disbarred forever, from practicing law. And lawyers that have really tried to help indigenous nations to try to gain their sovereignty or land claims, have in fact been disbarred for violating their oath that they swear to their Nation- the United States or Canada. And judges have been ostracized by "their family",  for giving decisions in favor of Indigenous Nations and People. This is only one reason why Indigenous Nations and people have never, and will never get Justice from the court system.

Lawyers never do what the clients wants them to do. Lawyers do what they want to do.

The lawyer can never ask the right questions or give the right answers when talking about Indigenous Nations and People. Because the lawyer simply does not know the right answers. They feel they don't need to know about the indigenous Nation or people they are representing. And to the lawyer it does not matter, because he believes all he needs to do is present a better argument then his opposing counsel. The truth doesn't matter. Remember, lawyers pride themselves on being able to win a case in spite of the truth.

Recently, I was told this by someone who was in family court. He noticed a sign on the wall of the courtroom that basically said, 'all decisions that the judge makes in this courtroom must favor the crown'. He asked the judge to explain the sign and the judge did, the sign means exactly what it says. The judge could not have been more truthful. There are signs on the walls, telling indigenous people what is happening in these courts.

If you listen, and you look around and observe, the lawyers, the judges and the courts are all telling you the same thing, that I have been writing here.

And many lawyers will tell you this, if you just ask them. Because they know, even if they arm you with the truth, what can you do about it?

Nothing.

And let us remember, the courts in the United States and Canada, are all derived from English law and going back centuries. Let us remember the humorous and playful words of Shakespeare from one of his plays- "The first thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers." So in the past, centuries ago, the english people understood what was being done to them by the lawyers. But they were helpless to do anything about it. Just as the Indigenous Nations and People of today are helpless to do anything about the present court system. Indigenous Nations and People will never get truth and justice from the court system.

Treaties do not belong in courts. Treaties can only be honored truthfully at the negotiation "table", with nation to nation discussions. The United States and Canada know this, that's why they set plans in motion to force Indigenous Nations and people into court. Because they know they cannot destroy the Indigenous Nations and People at the "table". 

"The Truth and Reconciliation of Treaties" can only be found with nation to nation talks at the negotiation "table".

Indigenous Nations and people do not belong in courts. The old people always said this.

As always this is offered as a starting point for discussions in your circle.
