QQ. To the defendant"s mind the most pressing problem facing the
7
Human Race is its pending extinction due to nuclear mismanagement,
which is Evil, but that Humanity, or at least "Western" humanity,
is too confused to do anything about the problem, because it has
been brainwashed into believing that nuclear weapons protect
Freedom, which many seem "good", theoretically. but, in Reality, is
ludicrous.
QQQ. Therefore, the defendant concluded, that a constructive
application of his time toward the solution of the nuclear madness
problem would be to illustrate to the citizens of the United States
the difference between "freedom" meaning "money/lifestyle," and
Freedom meaning "the individual's right to decide his own course,"
and to demonstrate that Freedom is not, in Absolute Truth, a concern
of the United States Government.
$. Hence....reasoning that the most expeditious method available
penniless man to illustrate that life is more important than
lifestyle, and that living is more important than living
accommodations, which to the average United States citizen is
inextricaply linked to money, would be for that man to live, without
living accommodations, money, or a lavish lifestyle,
$$. and that to do so in a prominent place would illustrate the
ability of an individual to follow his own course.......
$$$. an June 3, 1981 the defendant began a vigil in front of the
White House with the intent of symbolizing the aforesaid principles,
and to petition the Government for redress of his grievance at
having been illegally and unwillingly brought into the country
against his will. (See Attachment III).
*. Sleeping on a sidewalk is crucial not only to the survival of
the defendant's Individual Freedom, but additionally to the
credibility of his message, and the faithful practice of his religion.
**. Because 1) the defendant holds that the only task worthy of one
who serves the Creator of the Universe, should a Faithful Servant
find himself trapped within as immoral and deceitful a social system
as that which is the United States of America, IS T0 RESIST THAT
SYSTEM, and 2) because the defendant respects Life and the rights
of others, the practice of defendant's religion demands that, in a
social system as corrupt as that of the United States, he number
himself with the least esteemed members of that system.

***. Therefore to force the defendant off the sidewalk is to force
him into a social system which not only did he resist entering in
tne first place, and is presently within as a direct result of
illegal actions on the part of representatives of the United States
Government, but is also a social system within which the defendant
cannot morally exist. (See Attachment IV)
