Engelman: ...Our next speaker, is the, President of the Provincial Government of Texas, Jesse Enloe. ["??" applause]

Good morning. [M: "Morning." M: "Good morning."]

Unlike the last speaker, uh, who was prepared to speak for quite some time, I came not prepared to speak at all. [chuckles] But, uh, I do have a few words that I'd like to say.

Uh, first of all, uh, I am the President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Texas. Now, the Republic of Texas, um, the group that exists today to reclaim Texas as a sovereign nation, did not exist, when this tragedy occurred. Uh, our Provisional Government came into being in December of 1995. The reason, for, this Provisional Government, and the people working to reclaim Texas as the sovereign nation that it lawfully is, is because of the very type of abuse and unlawful action by government agents that occurred here. Uh, we have been called antigovernment. We are not antigovernment, which is evidenced by the fact that we elected a provisional government! We are against unlawful actions of government officials. [applause M: "Yeah!"] We believe in the common law, not the thousands and thousands upon thousands of statute law that men, um, promulgate. God set forth His law when he created this place. And he put it in our hearts. We believe that's called the common law. Murder, is against the law, in common law and statutory law.

In 1933, President Roosevelt, started creating administrative agencies. In 1946, when the federal government passed the, the Administrative Procedures Act, in the House report, for Congress, it was stated, that President Roosevelt himself had called the creation of administrative agencies, "the creation of a fourth branch of government, not sanctioned by the Constitution." If you wonder why the government does not operate by the Constitution, it's because they are operating through administrative agencies. We do not have a lawful, de jure government for the United States of America, or for Texas.

What happened here in Waco, never should have happened. I remember where I was that day, five years ago. I was sitting in my living room, watching TV, watching the tanks, destroy the building. When they- we saw the first signs of smoke, I'll never forget the first thought that went through my head. "My God, they're gonna kill 'em with fire." Um, a lot of people who have- say there's a controversy over who started the fire. There might be a one-one hundredth of a percent chance that it was accidental, but I'm quite certain that these people did not take up arms to defend themselves for 51 days, only to turn around and kill themselves! [F: "That's right!" M: "Yeah!" applause] And I think anybody with half a brain could come to that conclusion. Why would they start out defending themselves, only to turn around and kill themselves? It just doesn't even make sense.

We hope that, we are successful in our efforts, to prove, to all Texans, and to everbody in the world, that as far back as 1836, 1845, and 1861, when the major events of the status of the, the Republic of Texas were determined, uh, were perpetrated by fraud, by the United States, upon the people of Texas. And Texas is not lawfully part of that de facto, unlawful government. The reason we want to do this, is so that, situations like what happened here will not happen again. We want a government that will do what the people tell it to do. Only with the authority that the people delegate. I was asked the other day, where does the common law court get its authority? And my answer was simply, that the principle that all political power is inherent in the people has been established since the days of the Magna Carta, if not before. It is stated, in the De-, Declaration of Independence from the, from the United States of America; it's stated in the Republic of Texas constitution for 1836; it's stated in every state constitution that's been written since then, and there's been several. And it's still in the State of Texas constitution today. The people create the government through a document called a constitution. They through that- document, they define what the government is supposed to be. They place limits on what the government can do. But delegate it- to it certain authorities. I submit to you that people cannot delegate authority that they do not have. They must have the authority before they can delegate it. The government may not redelegate their authority through administrative agencies. So when the people delegate authority, that doesn't mean they give up their authority, that means they're only allowing somebody to do something for them. They can still do it for themselves if they choose. The people have the authority. All we need to do is get enough people to stand up and exercise that authority, and restore justice in Texas and in the United States of America. Thank you. [applause]

[M: "?? uh, common law grand jury?"]

Oh. If I could have just another minute.

I always forget something when I'm not prepared! In case you all are not aware of it, the, uh, counsel general of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Texas is, uh, putting forth his efforts to form a citizen's grand jury panel. Now this is not limited to those who have declared citizenship in the Republic of Texas. This is for anybody that lives on the soil of Texas, that is concerned with justice and truth. Since the, the courts and the de facto government, is not doing an investigation to bring out the real truth- and punish those people that are responsible, for what happened here- uh, we feel that it is time for the people to exercise their authority and act. [F: "That's right."] Um, I believe that our counsel general is here... Loyd Black? Yeah, this gentleman standing right over here, with the cap on? Anybody that's interested in, uh, participating, either as a witness, or as a grand juror in this effort, talk to that gentleman right over there. Thank you. [applause]

Engelman: Thank you, Jesse...
