BELLIGERENT
ONLY BELLIGERENTS HAVE RIGHTS !In U.S. vs. JOHNSON (76 Fed, Supp. 538),
(speaking of YOUR 5th amendment protected right against self-incrimination...)
Federal District Court Judge James Alger Fee ruled that:
"The privilege against self-incrimination is
neither accorded to the passive resistant,
not to the person who is ignorant of his rights,
nor to one who is indifferent thereto.
It is a fighting clause.
Its benefits can be retained only by sustained combat.
It cannot be claimed by attorney or solicitor.
It is valid only when insisted upon by a belligerent claimant in person.The one who is persuaded by honeyed words or moral suasion
to testify or produce documents rather than make a last ditch stand,
simply loses the protection. . . .
He must refuse to answer or produce,
and test the matter in contempt proceedings,
or by habeas corpus."
