ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Al Snow, Sr’s interest in American Government studies started at Otto
Township Junior-Senior High School in Duke Center, Pennsylvania, from 1951 to
1956. History teacher Mr. Richards made American History come alive with stories
about American Patriots.
Mr. Snow’s favorite patriot story was about Samuel Adams, who stood up at a
meeting of Patriots and said, "I think the thirteen colonies need to be
free from Great Britain." Every person at that meeting thought to
themselves "Can it be done?" Their deep desire to govern themselves
changed the course of history. And their story has had a major influence in Mr.
Snow’s stand in protecting the U.S. Constitution and the sovereignty of the
United States.
When the idea of having a U.N.–Free Zone came to his attention, he thought,
"LaVerkin City should stand up and be the first to say we need to be a U.N.–Free
Zone."
Many individuals in LaVerkin (and in the nation) thought, "Can it be
done?"
After beginning his studies in American Law and Procedure in 1967, Mr. Snow
received his Bachelor of Laws Degree (LL.B.) in 1971 from LaSalle Extension
University of Chicago. He also received his Business Law Certificate in 1969 at
Loyola University of Los Angeles, California. In 1992 he received his
certification as a Paralegal affiliate in the Association of Trial Lawyers of
America.
In 1994 he received his certification as an Associate in the American Bar
Association (no longer a member of the ABA). That same year he also received a
Certificate of Legal Assistant and Paralegal from the Blackstone School of Law
in Dallas, Texas. A Councilman of the City of LaVerkin, Utah, during 2000-2001,
he has two years left in a four year term.
He has been married to Launa Marie Heiner of Los Angeles for 39 years and is
a father of three daughters and four sons, and grandfather of 23 grandchildren.

CHAPTER ONE
U.S. Military Personnel and the U.N. Charter
A Questionnaire Presented to 300 U.S. Marines
In the U.S. Code Title 18 – Crimes and Criminal Procedure,
1994 Edition Vol. 9 Subsection 2382, Misprision of Treason states as follows:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having
knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does
not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or
to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or
justice of a particular State, is guilty of Misprision of Treason and shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years
or both.
(June 25, 1948, Ch. 645, 62 STAT. 807; Sept
13, 1994, Pub. L. 103-322 Title XXXIII Subsection 330016 (1) (H), 108 STAT.
2147.)
AMENDMENTS
1994 – Pub. L. 103-322 substituted "fine under this
title" for "fine not more than $1,000."

offenses under this section, see section 8312 of Title 5, Government
Organization and Employees. Forfeiture of veterans’ benefits upon conviction under this
section, see section 6105 of Title 38, Veteran’s Benefits.
Subsection 2384 Seditious Conspiracy states as follows:
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any
place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow,
put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy
war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to
prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by
force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to
the authority thereof, they shall each be fined not more than $20,000 or
imprisoned not more than twenty years or both. (June 25, 1948,
Ch. 645, Subsection 1, 62 STAT. 808; July 24, 1956 Ch. 678, Subsection 1, 70
STAT. 623).
The United Nations Loyalty Oath
"I solemnly swear to exercise in all loyalty,
discretion and conscience, the functions entrusted to me as a member of
international service of the United Nations; to discharge those functions and
regulate with the interest of the United Nations only in view, and not to
seek or accept instructions in regard to the performance of my duty, from any
government or authority external to the Organization."
"There is a revolution built into that document,"
said ex-Senator William E. Jenner (R-Indiana 1947-1959) regarding the United
Nations Charter.
The above oath is evidence that all those who have
affiliations with the United Nations, whether or not also employed in the
service of the United States Government, whenever there is a conflict, must
always place their loyalty to the United Nations above the loyalty to the United
States.
The question we need to consider:
Has the U.S. soldier, Congressman, or police officer
committed Misprision of Treason as spelled out in U.S. Code Title 18 Subsection
2382, by taking the United Nations Loyalty Oath when prior to this U.N. Oath
they have taken the United States Oath to uphold and protect the United States
Constitution?
And, if this is the case, have they committed a crime against
the U.S. Government?
I have an UNCLASSIFIED copy of "Peacekeeping and U.N.
Operational Control. A Study of Their Effect on Unit Cohesion." Naval
Postgraduate School, Monterey, Ca. March, 1995.
In the Introduction of this manual it states:
Unit cohesion is historically recognized as the
single most critical element in an effective combat fighting force.
On Page 100 – 104 in the unclassified copy described above,
the following questions were to be answered by U.S. military personnel. (This
survey was conducted on 300 United States Marine Corps soldiers). I received
this copy from an ex-Marine now living in Texas. They were to choose one of the
answers.

In Section VII Conclusions, Page 84 it states: On September 26, 1994, President
William Clinton speaking before the 49th Session of the U.N. General
Assembly stated:
"Our objectives should include ready, efficient and
capable U.N. peacekeeping forces. And I am happy to report that, as I pledge to
you last year, and thanks to the support in the United States Congress, $1.2
billion is now available from the United States for this critical account."
Could this $1.2 billion, perhaps have been used instead to
begin a new program devoted to specializing our own U.S. forces in peacekeeping.
This study has dealt principally with two factors: The
missions performed in operations other than war and transferring the operational
control authority from U.S. to U.N.
The socialists in the U.S. Government are making this
following argument:
"The United States cannot afford to engage in
peacekeeping at the expense of combat readiness."
But the U.S. Congress can afford to pay the U.N. $1.2 billion
at any time needed.
On Pages 58 and 59 of this same document, it states: The
Department of Defense created a new office under the Secretary of Defense in May
1993. Sherri Wasserman Goodman was the first appointed Deputy under Secretary of
Defense for Environmental Security. She controls several defense accounts whose
multi-billion dollar assets are targeted for environmental projects. She stated:
"The Defense Department environmental security program
was built in response to difficult challenges, including the transition to a new
world order, a significantly downsized department and severe fiscal
constraints."
Not only is the Department of Defense being tasked to
participate in environmental missions, but apparently these missions will help
transition to what they call "a new world order."

Republic vs Democracy
The United States is a mixture of two systems of government (Republican under
Common Law, and democratic under statutory law). The People enjoy their
God-given natural rights in the Republic. In a democracy, the Citizens enjoy
only government granted (civil rights) privileges.
The word "democracy" has been popularly used among American
citizens for many years. It is now time for everyone to become aware, as did our
Forefathers, of the distinction between our Republic and a democracy. It has
great legal significance.
The Constitution guarantees to every state a republican form
of government (Art. 4, Sec. 4). No state may join the United States unless
it is a Republic. A Republic is one dedicated to "liberty and justice for
all."
Minority individual rights are the priority.
The people have natural rights instead of civil rights. The
people are protected by the Bill of Rights from the majority. One vote in a jury
can stop all of the majority from depriving any one of the people of his rights;
this would not be so if the United States were a democracy.
Read the Pledge of Allegiance:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
In a pure democracy form of government, 51% beats 49%. In
a democracy there is no such thing as a significant minority. There are no
minority rights except civil rights (privileges) granted by a majority. Simply
stated, a pure democracy would be a dictatorship by the majority.
In a Democracy, the sovereignty is in the whole body
of the free citizens. The sovereignty is not divided to smaller units such as
individual citizens. To solve a problem, only the whole body is authorized to
act. Also, being citizens, individuals have duties and obligations to the
government. The government's only obligations to the citizens are those
legislatively pre-defined for it by the whole body politic.
In a Republic, the sovereignty resides in the people
themselves, whether one or many. In a Republic, one may act on his own or
through his representatives as he chooses to solve a problem. Also, the people
have no obligation to the government; instead, the government being hired by the
people, is obliged to its owner, the people. The people own the government
agencies. The government agencies own the citizens.
In the United States we have a three-tiered system
consisting of 1) people, 2) government agencies 3) and citizens.
The people did "ordain and establish this
Constitution," not for themselves, but "for the United States of
America." In delegating powers to the government agencies the people gave
up none of their own. (See Preamble of U.S. Constitution). This adoption of this
concept is why the U.S. has been called the "Great Experiment in self
government." The People govern themselves, while their agents
(government agencies) perform tasks listed in the Preamble for the benefit of
the People.
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a
more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America."
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free,
in a state of
civilization,
it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas
Jefferson, 1816.
