The U.S. Congress has been assembling unlawfully since 1861. That's right! Since 1861, martial (military) law has prevailed in the United States. Learn how the American people lost their freedom and how they can regain it again.

This volume applies the life-course approach to criminal careers, developed in the first book of the set, to crimes of deception, treason, and theft/white collar crimes. It discusses the web of influences affecting individuals to commit these crimes, as well as the society's attempts to detect and prevent them. Chapter 1 looks at deceit's impact on offenders, victims and society, and concludes that methods of detection (such as the polygraph), are not consistently reliable. Chapter 2 discusses treason. The American, Canadian, and British laws against treason are surveyed, and individual and collective motives (e.g.: ideology, power) for committing this crime are discussed. The characteristics of several spies and traitors illustrate their diversity and generally high social status. Chapter 3 examines different types of fraud, including embezzlement, forgery, arson, and confidence games. Motivation for business and political fraud is a two-sided phenomenon: the pull of money and power coupled with the push from financial pressures. Reducing the profitability of this type of crime may have stronger effects on crime rates than increasing punishment. Theft by force or stealth satisfies a complex group of desires - for excitement, independence, property, and gratified hostility. Yet the occurrence of shoplifting, employee theft, or burglary varies with opportunities to steal. (NCJRS, modified).

"This well-researched book with diagrams, tables, and historical evidence delivers plenty of facts about the origins of our New Zealand nation. The author's investigation exposes the lies behind those damaging myths of "Treaty Partnership", "Co-Governance", "Colonialist exploitation" and other ideological inventions used to divide the people of New Zealand. He exposes the honourable motives and intentions of both Māori and Pakeha in 1840 when they came together to found our nation. Then he dissects the deceit of MP Matiu Rata that led the Parliament into the statutory fraud, The Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, an act of injustice and treason that continues to this day. You will learn how the loyal people of this nation constitute the only lawful and legal authority to resist and redress a rogue government that continues to violate Our Treaty. This book goes where few would tread. It exposes the Treatyists as white-collar criminals and provides you with a practical people-power remedy to terminate top-down dictatorship.

In the early modern period, deceit and fraud were common issues. Acutely aware of the ubiquity and multiplicity of simulation and dissimulation, people from this period made serious efforts to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon, trying to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable, pleasant and unpleasant, wicked and virtuous forms of deceit, and seeking to unravel its principles, strategies, and functions. The twelve case-studies in this volume focus on the use of deceit by several groups of people in different spheres of life, as well as on its representation in literary and artistic genres, and its conceptualization in philosophical and rhetorical discourses. The studies testify to the rich variety of deceitful strategies applied by people from the early modern period, as well as to the subtlety and diversity of the conceptual frameworks they construed in order to grasp the many aspects of the elusive yet all-pervasive phenomenon of deceit.
