Finally!! The Real George
Mercier!!!
(updated Oct. 24, 2009)
Lots of people have been complaining about my analysis of George
Mercier’s work, Invisible Contracts, that, from a lawyer’s viewpoint,
was unmitigated legal garbage. Recently, some have been contending that
he was a judge, clerk of some federal court, etc, and thus my criticism
of him was unjustified. Frankly, I thought the man was nuts!!! To learn
something about the guy, I decided to check with Pacer to see if he
ever engaged in litigation. What I found was surprising.
Pacer is a federal website that connects a subscriber to the
docket sheets for all federal cases, civil and criminal, across the
country. Once on Pacer, you can pull up the docket sheet for any
pending federal lawsuit, and obtain PDF images of the pleadings in the
case, particularly those filed since the early part of this century. To
try to find any suit filed by Mercier, I inserted his name in a search
box on Pacer that would locate any case by a party of that name. The
results of my query resulted in links to some 226
cases instituted by a
George Mercier.
I pulled up the docket sheets for just a few of these cases, and from
these, I was able to obtain copies of complaints filed by George
Mercier. In these complaints, Mercier provides some information about
himself and the parties he is suing. Please read:
Feel free to visit Pacer and read more complaints filed by Mercier.
Frankly, after reading one of his first complaints about bombing
Paris,
I immediately concluded he was nuts. Draw whatever conclusion you want;
I have drawn the conclusion that he is a pothead suffering from
delusions.
Some believe that Mercier was either some judge or clerk of court. In
simply checking on the Net for information about Mercier, I think I
have found some relevant information. There is a George Mercier who is
a prominent Rochester, New York businessman, who created the Mercier Literacy Program
in 2002. If you look on this website, you can see pictures of an
elderly George Mercier. Invisible Contracts mentions that its author
has New York connections. From some of the complaints I found on Pacer,
I learned that son George Mercier sued his father George Mercier from
New York. I put these facts together and have concluded that the author
of Invisible Contracts is the son of the Rochester businessman, and the
son likes to sue his dad. From reading just a few of these complaints
(more than linked above), it is obvious to me that George Mercier, the
son and author of Invisible Contracts, is a nut.
Here is a comment about Mercier from Bob Minarik:
"Folks - Here is the bottom
line. We are losing our asses because of judicial tyranny,
not because we don't follow wild ass theories of men like George
Mercier, Roger Elvick, and other wild ass theorists. When
we advocate these off the wall theories, what we are doing is saying
that we in the patriot movement have been doing it all wrong and that
if we followed this theory we would have success, but no one, and I
restate NO ONE, has had any success in the judicial arena with that
wild theory crap. We in essence are giving credibility to
the enemy who is stealing our liberty and dividing our ranks so we can
be shot down one at a time. If we are going to have any
chance of turning this around, we have got to expose this crap for the
fraud that it is and get good people who want to fight to start reading
history and the Supreme Court cases that supported the fundamental
rights issue and reject the spurious claims of men like Rich Cantwell
and George Mercier."
A big promoter of Mercier is Richard Cantwell from the Tampa Bay area.
Cantwell was the subject of an IRS
lawsuit for promoting an “abusive tax shelter” along with Chad
Prater. Prater
got indicted, but not so Cantwell. Did Cantwell squeal on Prater?
