On November 7, 2022, the world bid farewell to a valiant war hero, Brigadier General Carl Miller, who passed away at the age of 92. His life, rich with honor and service, leaves behind a legacy of valor and dedication that will echo through the corridors of history. Now let us pause to recount a compelling tale from just a fragment of General Miller’s remarkable service. An emblem of his unparalleled bravery, integrity and courage. Yeah, well, we were flying interdiction along the Cambodian border and we come up on the door of these B model Huey. It was a smaller Huey and it was painted blue and silver and all along the side of the tail boom was white powder.
I informed the aircraft commander and he told me he was hailing them on the hailing frequency and he called them up and told them the land. We wanted to inspect their cargo. And they told us basically to blank off and die. You know who we are. My pilot told him he didn’t care if he was a man from glad, he was going to land that aircraft and we were going to inspect his cargo. Basically, he told us, we’re not landing. My pilot ordered me to roll my guns up and he shot him down. We went down there and we blew his landing gear off, shot it below his fuel cell, and he got the idea we weren’t fooling around.
He went down and landed in the rice paddy. And we inspected his cargo and sure enough, he was carrying heroin. So the pilot gave him a choice. He could go to Long Bend jail with us for contraband trafficking or he could hitchhike home, baby. So he chose to hitchhike home. Figured he had a chance. Of course, we knew that was going to be rather difficult in Cambodia, him being three foot taller than anything there, walking a white man on top of that. But we gave him a chance. And the bottom line is he didn’t want to go to jail.
So we torched his aircraft and we got back and the co. Are you crazy? And those people in CIA, they’re going to kill you. I told them, make my day. I said they were trafficking that dope to RGIs and God knows who else. And as far as I’m concerned, we stuck a tomb for about 15 million. And I’m just tickled. If I could do it again tomorrow, I’d do it again. And that’s the true story. We actually did it. So anyway, to make a long story short, I’m a serious soldier. I love my country and its constitution and I do not compromise when it comes to constitution.
I defend to the death, that’s what we do. When I go to court, I always take all my lucky charms with me. And I was one of the fellows that served with the infamous Apache troop, 1st Squadron, 9th Air Cavalry. We were the fellows that were in the movie Apocalypse now where they told you I love the smell of napalm in the morning. And that gentleman was exactly. Was exactly like that. This book is done about the Apache headhunters by a Cobra gunship pilot by the name of Jerome Boyle. We used to call Dirty Harry because he looked just like Dirty Harry.
Make my day, he used to have that painted on the side of his aircraft. Along with Pinball wizard and a few other things. This is a phenomenal book about a story of serious Americans. This is a Cobra pilot Jerry Boyle’s own story. A former policeman arrived in Vietnam in March of 70. He went from being a FNG, which I can’t tell you what that is in a church, but it’s bad, to a combat bet. In just two months, whether rescuing downed crews, flying fiery combat missions during the invasion of Cambodia, or being shot down himself, Boyle saw war quickly turn from a scary game of bullets, rockets and grenades to a terrifying race against death where just split seconds could turn a scene of breathtaking beauty into one of stark, absolute terror.
He witnessed men risk their lives daily to save others. And he heard the dreaded call taking fire, taking fire. They were too often a fellow pilot’s very last words before his chopper became an inferno. Boyle learned real fast that there weren’t a lot of going home parties for Apache troops pilots. And when you listen to some of this stuff, this is a Cobra pilot’s life and death experiences in Vietnam’s legendary Apache troop first of the 9th Air Cavalry. This pilot was the recipient of. He was a California native and former policeman of Ventura, California. Among the medals and decorations awarded to him for his service.
And this was kind of typical of most of the people in this outfit. Silver Star, three Distinguished Flying Crosses, five Bronze Stars, two Army Commendation Medals for valor. He now works as a pilot who flies in support of offshore operations. He lives in Andrea. He lives in Oja, California with his wife Andrea of 20 years. And to read some of the stuff about this is absolutely phenomenal. Some of the things that get involved. I’ll just read you a closing part of the sink. To give you an idea. The Apache troop I served in wasn’t part of the Army.
The army was part of Apache troop. We were mavericks, but the kind of team that any commander with hair on his tailpipe would want his unit to be like if you couldn’t get what you needed to accomplish the mission through normal channels, we begged, borrowed or stole it, usually the latter. With few exceptions, I’d follow the men of Apache Troop into hell, knowing full well sooner or later someone from the blues, the whites, the reds, the lift between the mess section would emerge from a smoking hole dragging the dead, smoldering ass of the devil. Now, he kind of exaggerates a little bit, but I can tell you that these men were phenomenal, phenomenal fighters.
And it was my great privilege to serve with them. And when I go to court, I take all of my battle stuff, my Ranger stuff, my first air cab. This is from the Apache troop logo. There’s my flight wings, the actual ones I wore. This is the first of the ninth logo that was put on the nose of all the aircraft. There’s the 1st, there’s 1st 75th Infantry Rangers. I have my Duty Honor, country coin from the MacArthur group of people. It’s a special group of people that defend the Constitution. It’s a silver coin that’s given as a serious defender group memento.
This is MacArthur, and that’s solid silver. Then I got all my Ranger jump stuff. I put that on there. I take my strike like lightning, sound like thunder. All my Ranger stuff that when I was in the Rangers. And I take my first Air Cavalry when I was in Cambodia, because I was with these boys in Cambodia. And lock Ninja. My Apache troop. That’s right off of our troller patches from the Apache troop, the original one I was with the Take My Detroit Judo Club. This is a patch they give you for running 50 miles to save your life.
You got a certain time to do it in. They give you a boot lace and a pocket knife and you get caught. They put you in a POW camp and treat you like a prisoner. So it’s like you got 12 hours to run 50 miles or. Or you go to the POW compound and they treat you like a POW. They hung my buddy up in a pit full of poisonous snakes upside down for about a day or two. And then this is my other patches that I wear from Vietnam and Special Operations Group. I flew in support of Bo Grits in Cambodia.
We used to deliver their supplies. I got my Ranger belt buckle. All these are mementos of program. My Bronze Star medal, my. I have 33 of these air medals. I got five of these bronze Stars. I got a Distinguished Flying Cross, Vietnamese cross gallantry, 33 air medals, shot down four times, left for dead twice, walked out of Cambodia with two regiments on my tail feathers. This is the SOG Special Operations Group MACV that we flew in support of Bogrites in Cambodia. In the Cambodian operation, I was one of the special air crews that was selected personally to fly the infamous Marine sniper and allow us to shoot that general at 800 yards.
I was one of the guys that flew him in. And we wear the wings of eagles. We support the National Rifle association totally. You know, we ain’t fooling around. We want our Constitution. We want our Second Amendment. I am a member of Vietnam Veterans, and basically when I go to court, I put all my lucky charms in my pocket. It kind of drives them nuts down at the courthouse. I also have my flag. I always take my flag with me. And I have my Vietnam Veterans belt buckles and my D Oppresso Libre, which means a liberator of an oppression from the Special Forces that was given to me by the boys over there for helping them, you know.
So all this goes in my pockets. I go to court. My lucky charm, I call them. And it’s a little heavy, but I, you know, it’s like when I go, I go for memory of those fine soldiers. And some of the things, yeah, I’d rather become communist. So I’m a soldier, soldier. I’ve been a soldier, soldier. I believe in the things that the soldiers have done. I’ve seen a lot of good soldiers pay the maximum price. I personally held them in my arms and I listened to their last words. Tell my mother, tell my wife, tell my family.
I love them. And to me, the Constitution is a very serious act. We defend it to the death. We do not fool around when it comes to the Constitution. I’ve been doing it for 25 years. I am a graduate of Project Blue Book. The special Project Blue Book is where they pull their soldiers aside and taught you the Constitution. All right, we’re going to go on with our programming here. We just got a little off the track there, just a little bit, just to kind of let you give an idea where we’re coming from. Good evening, folks.
I want to thank you for inviting me into your home tonight to talk to you about an extremely important issue to you. I’m here to talk about the United States Constitution and our government and some of the principles that you need to understand most thoroughly so that you can have an effective opportunity to exercise your constitutional rights. The whole purpose of this is that you understand that these rights come from God, okay? That they are God inspired. God is the one who endowed us with these rights and that this Constitution merely offers a legitimate program to protect those rights or to secure those rights and the blessings of those rights on ourselves and on our children for all time.
It’s important that you understand that the Constitution is God inspired. It’s important that you understand that a lot of the principles that are in the Constitution actually come out of the Holy Bible, okay? And it’s very important that you understand that this Constitution allows each of you, each to be a king or queen in your own right, as long as you recognize one principle, that you don’t ever create a situation where you take away the rights of another. So the whole point of having the Constitution is so that all of us can have the rights equally.
And as long as we respect our neighbor and allow them also to have the rights equally, the protections are going to last forever. We are going to get thoroughly into your Constitution. We want you to find a Constitution wherever you can. And we are going to basically take you step by step through some of the most important parts of this Constitution so that you can better exercise your rights any time we fashion. Now, the facts are simple. If you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any rights. And that’s just the way it is. And if you certainly couldn’t exercise those rights timely if you don’t know what they are.
So what’s going to happen is they’re going to tell you what your rights are. And do you think they’re going to tell you in your favor? Certainly not. We’ve come a long way to put this program on to help you. By the way, my name is Carl Miller. I want to thank you again for inviting me into your home. We’re going to proceed with vigor. I should tell you a few things about me, that I’m a prior service soldier. I serve three combat tours, Republic of Vietnam. I should tell you that I was a participant in the top secret project called Blue Book where the officers in the jungle smelled a rat in a wood pile and they decided to pull their top soldiers aside and they come on over here, come on over here, we want to talk to you.
And they took their top soldiers in the corner and they started teaching them things like duty, honor, country, pride in the Corps. They taught us history, they taught us all kind of programming as far as what’s going on in our government. They taught us the Constitution. We had to be able to rattle the Constitution off just like we would any manual of arms. And this all took place totally top secret so that we wouldn’t offend any chains of command or any presidential problems similar to what happened between General MacArthur. The bottom line is this was taken totally upon their own, shall we say, careers to pull this thing off.
And they. This happened all throughout a lot of the military services in Vietnam, Marine Corps, Air Force, army, we all. They all pulled aside their best people and they started putting everything on and teaching us our Constitution. So I’m going to try and instill in you that flame that was instilled in me over 25 years ago in which I have been. I have been transferring ever since. I have been fighting tooth and nail to defend the Constitution. I have helped thousands and thousands and thousands of other people do the same. I teach people how to be their own counsel, to stand up in courts of law and be able to exercise their constitutional rights in a timely and effective manner.
And the good Lord willing, I’ll be able to keep doing that. So why don’t we right now try and get into some parts of the Constitution. The most important thing that I can teach you about this Constitution is the importance of reading it. You must read the Constitution and understand what physically is in law. You must know your rights and timely assert them. That is your burden. If you do not, then a legal term called latches, incurs. Latches is a legal term which is defined as an as. Latches is a species of action where in a party of reasonable intelligence and integrity having a right to take an action as is prescribed by law and having failed to timely do so, loses all right to proceed.
So what is actually happening out there, folks, is that latches is incurring because most people don’t read their Constitution and know what’s involved. So then you are left to being told, well, that’s what it means. Okay, so you just got to do what you got to do and you’re told. And they’re going to tell you in favor of them. They’re not going to tell you in favor of you. So it’s better for you to read the book and understand what’s in it. It’s not a very big book. I highly recommend the book. You can get several versions.
A lot of times you contact your congressman. My congressman, Dominic Vicentini, State senator, supplied this one for me. John Coon, a Libertarian candidate, has supplied several. Also some of these folks just check with your local congressman or state rep. A lot of times they’ll just give you one. If you cannot find one, go down to your United States government building here in the Detroit vicinity. It’s called the McNamara Building on the first floor. And what we do then is we go into the government printing office and usually they’re about a buck, but I highly recommend you go get one.
I don’t leave home without mine. I usually have three or four of them someplace and I hand them out also myself. I give them out to whoever. I think one of the most kindest things I can do to a person is give them this book and show them how it works. This book is kind of like a genie in a bottle. If you know how to stroke this book, I’m telling you, the genie comes out and it usually with a force that will be clearly recognized in any court in the land. Now, that doesn’t mean it’ll be easy.
You might have to work a little bit. But basically there’s an argument and it comes like this. If I violate your rights, you may or may not know about it. If you know about it, you may or may not be able to do something about it. If you do have an ability to do something about it, you may or may not have the financial wherewithal to. To go to a finished program. If you do have the financial wherewithal, you may not have the intestinal fortitude to go to a finished program. So most of the time your governments and your abusive personalities in government or your corporations pretty much have carte blanche to injure you.
Because in 99.9% of the cases, most people will not proceed. But every now and then you run into that one hard nut and he doesn’t quit or she doesn’t quit till the cows come home. And what happens is that person will prevail. And those are the people that are actually generating better protections and better constitutional rights for you. Those are the ones that are going to the supreme courts and the courts of appeals and what have you that are pushing that are spending their life funds to allow you to have the benefit. But if you aren’t there to catch the benefit, then you, the benefit is lost.
So we’re going to get right into the Constitution. We’re going to teach you some things about it. Pay attention because we’re really doing this out of an act of love for you. And we’re hoping to God you’re going to pick up on it and pay attention. Okay? Now I’m going to put one Constitution down here so the folks can see it. I will open this up from time to time to demonstrate things to you. I will basically try and read out of another Constitution so that we can better show you some of the things that are involved.
Now it’s important that you understand that this Constitution is in writing. It’s important that you understand that it is a legal document, okay? That it was ratified by all of the members in a congress together, right? And that that document can be. You can get all the signatures on the document, okay? And it’s important that you understand that there was an offer government offered to govern. There was a consideration. The citizens considered how they were going to be governed. And government promised that they would govern by Constitution. And there was an agreement. The citizens agreed that if government promised there would be a government by Constitution, that they would agree to allow the Constitution into force.
Now, there’s a unique situation here. It’s very rare when you find the farty of the first part, which is the congressmen, officers of the government, who are also parties of the second part as representatives of we the people of republic. And when they sign the document, they sign the document as officers of government agreeing to the Constitution and simultaneously as officers of representatives of the people in the republican form of government. And when they signed that document that constituted an ironclad contract in writing enforceable in a court of law pursuant to the statute of frauds here in the state of Michigan.
That’s 566.132 Michigan Compiled Laws act, which basically states anything in writing is enforceable in the court of law pursuant to the statute of frauds. Now, all we’re asking is that they enforce the contract. We want them to enforce the contract. In other words, if we read something in here and we got a good reason for why we believe it’s the way it is, then they should honor that, and they should honor it in favor of you, the clearly independent and expressly designated beneficiary. But I’ll get into that a little later. Article 6, paragraph 2 of the Constitution.
This is called the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. It’s located at Article 6. Everybody see that paragraph two, which is going to start right here, and I’m going to read it to you, okay? And basically what it says is this. This Constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and the treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land. And the judges in every state shall be bound thereby. Anything in the Constitution or laws of any state through the contrary or notwithstanding.
When they say notwithstanding, that means notwithstanding in law. That means. That’s a legal definition. Notwithstanding means notwithstanding in law. Now, a very important case. Marbury versus Madison, 5 U.S. 137. It’s recorded at volume five, right here. It’s an eight, 1903 case, Marbury versus Madison. It’s recorded in volume five, page 137. Now, basically, what this case states, and I’m telling you right now, if you want to use a case to cite for any purpose in court, you have to read the case. If you haven’t read the case, you haven’t read the case and formed a basis upon which a logical determination in your mind could have been reached to form an opinion as to why you should do what you’re going to do, then the judge will throw your case out.
So read your cases. Don’t just quote cases, because you won’t win. If the judge ever pins you down and starts asking you some merits of the case and you can’t even understand what the case is about, nine times out of ten he’s just going to throw your case in the can. So make sure you read the case. This is one of the leading cases in the history of the United States of America. The opinion of the court was given by the Honorable Judge John Marshall, Chief justice of the Supreme Court. His opinion was, anything that is in conflict is null and void of law.
Clearly, he said that for a secondary law to come in conflict with the supreme law was illogical. For certainly the supreme law would prevail over all other law. And certainly our forefathers had intended that the supreme law would be the basis of all law, and for any law to come in conflict would be null and void of law. It would bear no power to enforce it would bear no obligation to obey. It would purport to settle as if it never existed. For unconstitutionality would date from the enactment of such a law, not from the date so branded in an open court of law.
No courts are bound to uphold it and no citizens are bound to obey it. It operates as a mere nullity or a fiction of law, which means it doesn’t exist in law. Now, let me give you an example in today’s timing as to how effective this is. This argument is so effective that it literally nullifies the Brady Bill. It nullifies the Crime Bill. It takes away the right of the people to keep and bear arms on these 19 weapons that turn into 150 weapons. It stops this 666 bill that just went through that they’re trying to take away the Fourth Amendment, you see, because they have no power to pass a law that’s in conflict with the United States Constitution, and it’s automatically null.
And void of law from its inception, not from the date you go to court and brand it as unconstitutional. Now, I want to get that real clear. A lot of people think that they got to go to court and brand it unconstitutional. I’m here to tell you if you know your arguments and you can show your arguments, most of the time, you will win. Every now and then, you run into a hard nose. But I’ll show you how to deal with him, too. Okay? But for now, I want everybody that’s got a chance to go out to learn your Constitution, your Article 6, paragraph 2 of your Constitution.
I want you to pay attention to what’s going on here. Learn to read about this Marbury vs Madison case. And I always take my harmonica and I give them hell. Give them the. We give it to them.
