The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 335
Constitutional rights guaranteed because these rights have been assailed by judges, politicians,
bureaucrats, prosecutors and the police. Agencies and departments of both the US government
and local governments “seize evidence without warrant, spy without authority, imprison without
charge, and kill without cause.” His book gives detailed examples and actual cases to document
each of his points. Below are a few excerpts which describe some of his points:
Amazingly, infuriatingly, incredibly, the government will lie, cheat, and
steal in order to enforce its own laws. And the courts continually give law
enforcement a free pass to engage in these practices. (p. 1)
Even in America, checks on government law breaking can be evaded. Just
as a deranged Josef Stalin could put a random citizen into the Gulag and throw
away the key, on occasion the law enforcement system in the United States is
equally despicable. (p. 22)
On a daily basis, the government can be found plotting to violate the
Constitution in order to take away your land. A recent report by the Castle
Coalition, a nonprofit organization formed by the institute for Justice, chronicled
10,382 governmental attempts to condemn private property for the benefit of
other private individuals in the last ten years. The report also found the abuses to
be widespread, as these attempts occurred in forty-one of the fifty states. (p. 75)
Every school child can recite: “congress shall make no law... abridging the
freedom of speech.” But over the last few years, freedom of speech, the
quintessential American liberty, has come under fire from several troubling
rulings in which judges—the traditional defenders of individual liberties against
the censoring potential of the government—have abused their authority to restrict
the content of speech in a frightening manner. (p. 79)
In every state in the Union, in every commonwealth and territory, and
under the laws written by Congress, the buying of testimony constitutes a
felony.... Despite this clear prohibition against the buying of testimony,
government attorneys around the nation, from small-town prosecutors to the
Department of Justice and the attorney general himself, violate this law on a daily
basis. These prosecutors regularly pay government witnesses for their testimony,
either in the form of cash payments or the witness's freedom—i.e., receiving a
reduced jail sentence after entering into a favorable plea bargain. (p. 94-95)

Before I begin to discuss particular problems, corruption and failures let me first state
that there are many good and fair people involved in the American legal system. But the topic of
this chapter is to expose the breakdowns in the system that will enable America to fulfill biblical
prophecy.
Ask just about any lawyer and they'll tell you that the chances of prevailing in court are
the flip of the coin. They'll tell you that the truth, facts, evidence and laws pertaining to the case
don't necessarily help predict the outcome. No matter what the truth, facts, evidence and laws
are, the outcome is still unpredictable. Attorneys Ralph Warner & Stephen Elias in their book,
