Action, Part 1: The Octologue — Sheriffs and Cops Can Save the People

27

by Mary W Maxwell LLB

As discussed at Gumshoe on 28 February 2021, I attended a conference of “constitutional sheriffs” in Houston, Texas.  I had seen an ad for it. The ad did not indicate that the founder, Sheriff Richard Mack, would be there. I might not have attended if I saw his name, as I had only ever heard of him, vaguely, in connection with Border Patrol in the southwest.

So I rocked up at the Woodlands Resort and got more than I paid for (in the $99 conference fee). There was the guy, Sheriff Mack, who thinks he owns the Constitution lock, stock, and barrel. He has started an organization called Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, CSPOA, which anyone can join.  Cops will be very excited by it. It’s like unto a miracle.

To cut his story to the essentials, I have organized what can be called an octologue — like the decalogue of Moses, but 8 commandments instead of 10. The material for it was grabbed, by me, from Richard Mack’s 1999 booklet, “The Proper Role of Law Enforcement” (Yay!), and his 2009 book, “County Sheriff: America’s Last Hope.”

When quoting Mack dead-on verbatim, I will use quotation marks. Otherwise, I am paraphrasing. I promise not to intrude Mary one little bit. The page numbers have ‘R’ if from the Proper Role book, or H if from the Last Hope book.

So now, sit back and be pleasantly shocked by the Octologue:

EIGHT COMMANDMENTS FOR SHERIFFS AND COPS

    1. Always be faithful to your oath.

Per Article VI of the US Constitution, every peace officer “shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation to support this Constitution.” [and must support his/her state constitution] “Certainly, the County Sheriff has no obligation to go along with those who subvert the Constitution.” (H46).

    1. Don’t enforce immoral laws. 

“The notion that cops should enforce all laws, regardless of how abusive, immoral, or unconstitutional they are, is dangerous and destructive.” (R9).

    1. Resist usurpation by the feds.

“Bottom line: America was founded as a Republic with extremely limited powers, as expressly set forth in the Constitution.” (13H). “For federal officers to come in to the county and takeover in any respect is the epitome of usurpation and he who is the rightful steward of the county needn’t tolerate such usurpation whatsoever.” (H33)

    1. Don’t do the bidding of a bad judge.

 If asked to enforce a bad law, or carry out the wishes of a bad judge, don’t obey. Think Nuremberg trials, where “I was only obeying orders” did not count as an excuse. (H20)

    1. Protect the people.

Since the 11th Century, kings appointed men called “reeves” to keep the peace in the “shire.” (H23) You, shire-reeve, are the people’s sworn protector. “You cannot shrink from that duty merely because the violator comes in to town with a three-piece suit and a fancy attache case.” (H26)

    1. Say no.

“When is the law enforcement community going to learn to ‘just say no,’ stand tall, and let the legislators know that we will not be their little puppets?” (R17)

    1. Remember you work for the people and you can call out a posse.

Remember that you are answerable directly to the people who elected you. A sheriff “does not report to a town manager or a city council.” (H23). “The sheriff has the authority to call out the militia or ‘posse’.” (H24)

    1. Stop the abuse.

“There is a man who can stop the abuse and end the tyranny…..Yes, it is you, SHERIFF.  You can do it. You have the power, the authority and the responsibility. You are the people’s protector, you are the last line in the sand.” (H31)

Richard Mack’s Bio

Mack graduated from Brigham Young University in Utah in 1978. He says that while a student, he worked as a “meter maid.” (How many guys do you know who would dare to say that?) He became a cop and later did a short stint at Quantico — for which I move we forgive him.

Richard and his wife Dawn live in Arizona. They have 15 grandchildren. You can write to him at:  PO Box 567 Higley AZ 85236, or visit the website CSPOA.com.

When a rookie, Mack read about a meeting that would be held to discuss constitutional policing.  That meeting was run by the late great Cleon Skousen — an FBI agent, an intellectual right-winger, a Mormon, police chief of Salt Lake City, and the author of The Naked Communist.

Mack approached his supervisor for permission to go to the meeting as a training exercise but was told that “Cleon is not mainstream law enforcement.” So Mack took annual leave and attended on his own. He said there were 240 officers and “there was a powerful feeling in the room. Clousen had us captivated….at this very moment I promised myself that I would never be on the wrong side again.” (R10).

The Court Affirms

I must mention Richard Mack’s success at the Supreme Court venue. Around 1992, when Mack had been elected sheriff of Graham County, AZ, Congress passed a law called the Brady Bill (not related to exculpatory evidence). It ordered police to deal with the removal of guns from anyone who had ever been in a domestic violence case.

This meant, among other things, that some cops who had been on duty for many years lost their jobs.  It was a retroactive law which, of course, is unconstitutional. But mainly it was unconstitutional in tasking local police with a federal job.

Mack asked other sheriffs to join him in the case and six did so.  The case is known as Mack and Printz v United States (1997). It was decided in their favor. Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the Court, clarifying that states do not have to take direction from the feds.  The case of New York v United States had already settled that, but most people still don’t know about it. Let me quote SCOTUS’ ruling:

“…opinions of ours have made clear that the Federal Government may not compel the States to implement, by legislation or executive action, federal regulatory programs….. We warned that “this Court never has sanctioned explicitly a federal command to the States to promulgate and enforce laws and regulations,” ….

“The Government’s distinction between “making” law and merely “enforcing” it, between “policymaking” and mere “implementation,” is an interesting one. It is perhaps not meant to be the same as, but it is surely reminiscent of, the line that separates proper congressional conferral of Executive power from unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority ….”

Join Up

Anyone can join the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (dues, $11 per month), which entitles you to watch the posse Webinars. As you might guess, this group is “on the case” about Covid restrictions and gun control.

As recommended by Naomi Wolf, in the video shown at GumshoeNews.com on 3 April 2021, there is no time to lose in recapturing our freedom.

Any cop who wants advice from Sheriff Mack can email Staff@CSPOA.org. He is keen to hear from you. One of his conferences may be coming to your state soon.

Put This in Your Wallet

Here is a wallet-size Octologue you may flaunt if you are a layperson, or better yet if you are a Person in Blue.

Octologue: Eight Commandments for Sheriffs and Cops

  • Always be faithful to your oath.
  • Don’t enforce immoral laws. 
  • Resist usurpation by the feds.  
  • Don’t do the bidding of a bad judge. 
  • Protect the people.      6. Say no. 
  • Remember you work for the people and you can call out a posse.     8. Stop the abuse.      

Do it, Sheriffs and Cops!  You are the line in the sand.  — See Sheriff Mack of Arizona (Ret) at CSPOA.org

(reverse side of the card):

Amendments To Die for, in US Constitution’s Bill of Rights

  • Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech … or the right of the people peaceably to assemble….
  • The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation….
  • The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. 

Just do what you can, please. Even a few people make a huge difference (as at Samuel 1:17 ).

    At 37:11 he mentions there are now a thousand lawyers who have joined Reiner Fuellmich is the latest up to date before 6 April 2021

    This group originally set out to determine: 1) How dangerous is the virus? 2) What is the significance of a positive test? 3) What collateral damage has been caused by the corona measures in regards to the world’s health and economy?
    They have jointly reached the conclusion that COVID-19 may be the greatest crime against humanity in history.

      • Mal, the bottom link is not a video; it’s a text, which says in part:

        Dr Reiner Fuellmich, a lawyer who’s been a member of the bar in both Germany and California for 26 years and whose English is that of a native speaker discusses the findings of the International Corona Investigative Committee that was formed on July 10, 2020 by lawyers, doctors, and scientists.

        This group originally set out to determine: 1) How dangerous is the virus? 2) What is the significance of a positive test? 3) What collateral damage has been caused by the corona measures in regards to the world’s health and economy?

        They have jointly reached the conclusion that COVID-19 may be the greatest crime against humanity in history.

        Dr Fuellmich has apparently litigated with success against Deutsche Bank and Volkswagen and he lays out a legal case of crimes against humanity for enforcing lockdowns based on the fraudulent use of PCR test results.

        …have, in the meantime caused the loss of innumerable human lives and have destroyed the economic existence of countless companies and individuals worldwide…

        “In Australia, for example, people are thrown into prison if they do not wear a mask or do not wear it properly, as deemed by the authorities. In the Philippines, people who do not wear a mask or do not wear it properly…are getting shot in the head…

        “If the PCR tests had not been used as a diagnostic tool for corona infections, there would not be a ‘pandemic’ and there would be no lockdowns but everything would have been perceived as just a medium or light wave of influenza…

        “As a result of the deliberate panic-mongering and the corona measures enabled by this panic, democracy is in great danger of being replaced by fascist totalitarian models, as I already mentioned above in Australia…

  3. Problem is according to the Guardian newspaper report some yrs ago that over one third of police are masons and if they do not take the mason oath they have little chance of being promoted past sargent which would in fact make them not police but UN/NWO agenda 21-30 enforcers

    • Yes, wayne. If that is the case for the fairly uninfluential “Bobby” (and that is only those who can be identified) what is the likelihood that more influential people in politics, bureaucracy, judiciary etc. will be required to oath allegiance to secretive programmes?

      • Most already have or they would not be there is no secret the royals are masons as to why Andrew will never face justice they look after their own

  4. Don’t forget the Open Letter to NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller from a constable:

    “Since [our superintendent’s] departure, the unit appears to have been overrun by bureaucrats and we find ourselves in a situation where a once cohesive unit, has been replaced with uncertainty, division, and conflicts, driven by increased red-tape and competitiveness, causing the demise of good judgment in policing.

    “This situation has intensified during the declared National State of Emergency, as Police are asked to enforce arbitrary rules against the population, without any verifiable and objective scientific basis, in the name of public health and safety, often infringing upon basic human rights in the process. Excessive force is being deployed with increasing regularity, causing harm when it is apparently meant for good and the public is losing respect, trust, and faith in us.” Etc.

    It is part of the case handled by Serene Treffaha:

  7. The end game is to inject everyone on the planet.
    Covid vax is a depopulation tool purposely made to kill. The vermin in control, have been enforcing lethal injections, to elderly and sick, for much of this century. Never mentioned on msm, cause it’s a inconvenient truth forbidden to speak.
    The oligarchs now have robots doing the work, vax manufacture included, they don’t need people so it’s the final solution on populations already pumped on steroids from local pharmacies. Stupid is stronger day by day. This is what we get, for mass silence on 911 and 108 years of banksters tyranny.

      Exclusive: Former Pfizer VP to AFLDS: ‘Entirely possible this will be used for massive-scale depopulation’
      March 25, 2021
      by Mordechai Sones

      America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) spoke to former Pfizer Vice President and Chief Science Officer Dr. Mike Yeadon about his views on the COVID-19 vaccine, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, the regulatory authorities, and more.

      At the outset, Dr. Yeadon said “I’m well aware of the global crimes against humanity being perpetrated against a large proportion of the worlds population.

      “I feel great fear, but I’m not deterred from giving expert testimony to multiple groups of able lawyers like Rocco Galati in Canada and Reiner Fuellmich in Germany.

      “I have absolutely no doubt that we are in the presence of evil (not a determination I’ve ever made before in a 40-year research career) and dangerous products.

      “In the U.K., it’s abundantly clear that the authorities are bent on a course which will result in administering ‘vaccines’ to as many of the population as they can. This is madness, because even if these agents were legitimate, protection is needed only by those at notably elevated risk of death from the virus. In those people, there might even be an argument that the risks are worth bearing. And there definitely are risks which are what I call ‘mechanistic’: inbuilt in the way they work…………………….

  9. In Serbia, where CCP vaccines have been enforced, side effects are increasing at alarming rates.
    The people have had enough bs and have reached the tipping point. Mass demonstrations in Belgrade, they’ve been down so long, standing up now the only option.

  10. Today at sputniknews.com, an article about Portland Oregon said that police there have quit en masse (115 cops), thanks to the lack of support they got from the mayor during the BLM rioting. Here are some comments under hat article:

    Mrpokey Hey NY..Your IQ test came back negative
    NthrnNYker59 in reply toMrpokey(Show comment): Unfortunately, your mother’s syphilis test did not.
    vot tak Good riddance of the fascist parasites. Defund. Investigate. Prosecute. Hang, imprison, as appropriate.
    TruePatriot A lot of which was brought on by Mayor Ted’s refusal to follow his oath of office. The police should have arrested the mayor and shut down all the crap being permitted to go on downtown. The time has now come for those who tolerated such things to pay the piper.

    Yours truly is OK with arresting the mayor. — MM

    • Hopefully the first domino will fall soon, that would be Arizona, with reports now of two kids being “dropped” over the wall, and massive fees being paid to human traffickers, the political situation is probably most clear cut along the southern border.
      As with the timely death of SCOTUS judge Ginsberg it could be fate at work, that Arizona was on a knife-edge according to Dominion Voting et al.
      Maybe your hard core sherriff could slip over to Arizona and give some of them a pep talk.
      Investigative Reporter Ted Cruz begs the question, why don’t network journalists do investigative reporting ???
      (I can’t remember if this video was already run on Gumshoe)

      • And here’s a little bit of AOC with some priceless acting at the border, starts about 1:50
        When AOC laments imperialism let’s not forget she is CORTEZ !!! Yes the guy that gave the flu to all the native mexicans or whatever, 500 years ago, and grabbed their gold and territories. The poor mexican natives then had no flu immunity thanks to isolation and centuries long lockdowns, they had eradicated the flu, or perhaps never had it ? Maybe the flu was cut off during an ice-age ??? Did the flu only evolve in more recent times, say 5000 years ago ??? Did it evolve in some sick persons diseased sinuses ? Hell I don’t know, all I know is, the governments are not talking about Ziverdo Kits even though they are talking more rubbish than ever before, over to AOC (1:50) nice segue yeah thanks

          • Not a fan of sky news ? They are somewhat marginalised here.
            The left will excommunicate you for admitting you watched.
            Australians barely know who AOC is but she comes across as if she graduated same year as Jacinta Ardern (NZ). Your neighbour Justin Trudeau is another one, they’re awful. Likewise I don’t think the current US border situation is very well known here even though it is a repeat of what happened in Australia not many years ago, and,,, was that a big part of what destroyed the ALP back then,,, I would say so, (another big part was Bill Shorten, Australia’s most hated politician after Abbott and GIllard). More recently lefties here hate Peter Dutton former cop (always someone from QLD is a national hate figure) and they also hate Trump due to the MSM brainwashing and mental laziness.
            So, I definitely would not bother to include a clip of AOC and trafficked minors in cages for a US audience. Do you have any estimate on the readership, % US vs Australian ? I always assume mostly local but always happy to be proved wrong.

          • OK, w3, now I agree with you. Maybe of use to Aussies. Dee and I think the readership of Gumshoe is mostly antipodean. Maybe the Palace reads it. You never know….

  11. Good news. The gov of Texas has written an EO saying there will be no mandatory vax passports in that state or its subdivisions, and also any private org that receives public funding must not do it either.

    “State agencies and political subdivisions shall not adopt or enforce any order, ordinance, policy, regulation, rule or similar measure that requires an individual to provide, as a condition or receiving any service or entering any place, documentation requiring the individual’s vaccination status for any COVID-19 vaccine administered under an emergency authorization.”
