"Habeas and trial by jury are Maritime Admiralty as they are Universal Law" -- United States v. Bevan (1818)

We've never had our own law in America.

The elections are rigged. Without fair elections we are slaves. Habeas Corpus is second only to one's right to vote. We must focus on the election system first. Everything else must be secondary in priority.

They arn't protected under the geneva convention past armies have hanged them on the spot. Any one that takes arms against another nation not under a Colour of War then, they do not receive the same treatment as Prisoners of War.

Why do so many who have any kind of trial not completely controlled get ACQUITTED?

NO EVIDENCE. That's why. Just bullshit allegations, part of a PR formula. The Gulf War was total staged PR, from pushing for invasion of Kuwait, to "incubator babies". Saddam condemned in 91 and Iraqi National Congress created by ad agency - Rendon. Push to SUPPORT Islamic "Contra" freedom fighters was PR bullcrap.

Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism
