Dictators Peace
Avoiding Jeopardy

In the American Story-line as told by Murray Rothbard in Conceived in Liberty there are easily recognized patterns of behavior.

Dictators fight over land where slaves can be worked to death.

Slaves run to measurably greener pastures.

Dictators encounter jeopardy in their former dictatorship as more powerful dictators with more powerful dictatorships and more powerful slaves run dictators out of the territory, and dictators then seek measurably greener pastures.

Slaves and Dictators encounter jeopardy in greener pastures, including Slaves and Dictators already competing in an existing power struggle in greener pastures.

The point for this present – current – effort is to point out a type of currency called The Law of The Land, which is also called The Common Law, and this currency came from Ancient times, including post-Roman Empire times in England, before English became a language, so this currency was then called Legem Terrae (The Law of the Territory).

The relevant quote from Conceived in Liberty:

The Crown Takes over New Hampshire, 1680-1685
“As Cranfield was reported to have said, he had come to New Hampshire for money and money he would have. Cementing his alliance with Randolph, he put Randolph on the New Hampshire Council, and also appointed him attorney general of the colony. Toward the end of December, Cranfield seized and dragged into court George Jaffrey, a Puritan merchant of Portsmouth, for shipping goods deemed contraband under the navigation laws. At the trial, the jury, following the great English tradition of decided on the justice of the law as well as the facts of the specific case, decided against the law and brought a verdict with court costs against the Crown. Cranfield reacted by removing Elias Stileman from his offices of councilman and commander of the fort. Stileman had disobeyed an order to fire on Jaffrey’s ship and was replaced as commander by the always pliable Capt. Walter Barefoot. The most high-handed reaction of Cranfield was to direct Randolph to prosecute the jury and all others involved in the criminal conspiracy. Cranfield would have liked to proceed against the main leader of the resistance, Rev. Joshua Moody, a Puritan minister who was also a merchant.”

Parts of the currency (valuable information exchanged between free traders in liberty) of The Law of The Territory was such that the judges selected by God, or Lady Luck for the non-religious (by lot), used their God given (or natural law given) POWER of moral conscience in each case where controversy met The Law of The Territory.

I can add more context, valuable context to one who attempts to access moral conscience, but who would read it, let alone understand the value of the currency?
