ARBITRARY POWER VS. FREEDOM

ARBITRARY POWER VS. FREEDOM
May 29, 1998    It has been said that governments are the inherent enemies of the people. Inevitably, governments seek to control. To control the people: through agencies, bureaucracies and the police power. The main political problem we face today is not how to prevent the police power from becoming arbitrary and tyrannical, since it has already happened, but how to stop the tyranny and the arbitrary use of the police power in our country.
   We must realize that arbitrary power has seldom been introduced into any country all at once. It must be introduced by slow degrees, step by step, or the people would see it approaching. The barriers and fences of the people's liberty must be plucked one-by-one, and some plausible pretenses must be found for removing or deceiving, one after another, those sentries who are posted by the constitution of a free country for warning the people of their danger. When those preparatory steps are once made, the people will then see slavery and arbitrary power making long strides over their land; but it will be too late to think of preventing or avoiding the impending ruin. It is already upon us. But it is never too late to begin the fight to restore our freedom and abolish the slavery of arbitrary power.
   Through a constitution, the People delegate certain authorities and responsibilities to the government. No one can delegate authority they do not have. Therefore, it is indisputable truth that ALL POLITICAL POWER IS INHERENT IN THE PEOPLE. Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals - that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government - that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the Citizen's protection against the government.
   Today there seem to be no constitutional restraints on government. In fact, people in the Federal Government have been violating the limitations of the constitution almost since the beginning. Some major changes took place in the operation of the government during and after the Civil War and again in 1933, when the American People were classified as enemies of the government and the licensing and regulation really began. The government is no longer the servant of the people and the watchdog of their rights, but has become a collection of agencies and bureaucracies exercising arbitrary power over every area of our lives.
   A famous man once said: "Power and the law are not synonymous. In truth they are frequently in opposition and irreconcilable. There is God's Law from which all equitable laws of man emerge and by which men must live if they are not to die in oppression, chaos, and despair. Divorced from God's eternal and immutable Law, established before the founding of the suns, man's power is evil no matter the noble words with which it is employed or the motives urged when enforcing it. Men of good will, mindful therefore of the Law laid down by God, will oppose governments whose rule is by men, and, if they wish to survive as a nation they will destroy that government which attempts to adjudicate by the whim or power of venal judges."
   People in the government of the United States have operated just as governments have operated throughout history. Their goal always seems to be to gain more Power and Control over the People, and more Territory. This lust for power caused these men to perpetrate a great fraud upon the People of Texas.
   It began in the early 1800's. The People of Texas rebelled against the unconstitutional and tyrannical acts of the Mexican government. They tried for years to assert their lawful rights within the framework of that government. For this they were imprisoned and killed. Finally, they saw that they had no choice but to assert their rights by force. Many brave men died in that battle against tyranny, but Texas won her independence from Mexico.
   In 1835, the People of Texas formed a Provisional Government as the first step in the fight for independence and freedom. Then, in 1836 a constitution was written forming a permanent, "republican form of government." That government was instituted by the Constitution for the Republic of Texas and by the People of Texas.
   Winning the battle for independence, though, was just the beginning of the struggle of the new nation. The new government was heavily in debt from the war with Mexico, and this debt, along with the lack of money to pay it and very little money to operate on was a tremendous struggle for our early leaders.
   It's no wonder that promises from the United States fell on receptive ears, and the move was on to take Texas into the union as a State of the United States. For nine (9) long years men in the congress of the United States tried to bring Texas into the union according to their constitution, but failed. John Quincy Adams led the battle to not allow the statehood of Texas, because he understood that congress did not have the delegated authority to bring another nation into that union.
   In 1844 a Treaty of Annexation was proposed to the Senate, and failed by a vote of 35 to 16. Finally, in 1845, the so-called annexation of Texas was done by an unlawful (unconstitutional) act of the congress of the United States. Since they could not lawfully bring Texas into the union, they passed a "joint resolution" approving the Annexation, which supposedly made Texas a State of the United States. One of the provisions of this arrangement was that the People of Texas could withdraw from this agreement at any time.
   After many broken promises and many other problems between Texas and the United States government, the People in Texas, by popular vote, exercised their option to withdraw from the annexation agreement. On February 23rd, 1861 the vote was taken and seventy five (75) percent of the people of Texas voted to withdraw from their association with the United States. The vote was 45,738 for withdrawal, and 15,072 against withdrawal.
   I am convinced that the People of Texas, at that time, did not understand their true relationship with the United States, that they were not truly a State, but merely acting like a State because of an unlawful agreement. It is clear in the constitutions of Texas, and in the first laws made in Texas, that Texas totally retained the sovereignty of her soil, and no soil was ceded to the United States. The words "secede" and "secession" have been used regarding the actions of the People of Texas in 1861. Even in the Archives of the Texas State Library, the recorded vote was entitled "Voting Record of Texas counties for and against Secession." I suppose that in light of the fact that there were States of the Union that were seceding in that same time period, that the People of Texas looked at their action as the same thing. But you first have to "cede the soil" to be able to "secede." So when the vote was taken to withdraw from the arrangement, it was truly a withdrawal, not a "secession," and Texas was, as a matter of fact and law, a sovereign nation, The Republic of Texas.
   In 1865, Texas became a captured Nation of War, after the Civil War. The U.S. Military forces came in and governed the Nation of Texas. It was called "Re-construction." On March 30, 1870, by special act of the U.S. congress, they "allowed" Texas to be represented in Congress. If Texas were truly a State of the Union, why would a special act, allowing their representatives, be necessary?
   Many scoff at the idea that Texas was illegally and unlawfully annexed as a State of the United States. Even if that argument were not true, the fact remains that Texas withdrew from that arrangement in 1861. There has never been a record produced showing that the People of Texas, exercising their inherent political authority, ever voted since that time to join the United States. On the contrary, the People of Texas were duped by fraud and deception into believing that Texas was a State rather than a sovereign nation.
   Our problem is now twofold. As I said in the beginning, the Federal Government is totally outside the limits of its delegated authority, and THEY DON'T BELONG IN TEXAS ANYWAY!!
   The undeniable issue is Freedom. What is Freedom? To some, freedom means the opportunity to do what they want to do; to many it means not to do what they do not want to do. Do we not really have freedom today? In our society, we can do almost anything we want to do .... as long as we have the government's permission. You get a license to have your own business; you get a license to travel from one place to another; you get a license just to work in many industries; you get a license to get married; you get a license to catch a fish!! You must even REGISTER to vote, which amounts to a license to vote! Is this freedom?
   Here is how license is defined in Bouvier's Law Dictionary in the mid 1800's:
   LICENSE, contracts. A right given by some competent authority to do an act, which without such authority would be illegal. The instrument or writing which secures this right, is also called a license.
   How did the things we have a natural, God given right to do come to require a license? Remember when I mentioned 1933? In March of 1933, the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 was amended to include the American People, thus making them the enemies of the government. Now let's look at another interesting definition from Bouvier's dictionary:
   LICENSE, International law. An authority given by one of two belligerent parties, to the citizens or subjects of the other, to carry on a specified trade. 2. The effects of the license are to suspend or relax the rules of war to the extent of the authority given. It is the assumption of a state of peace to the extent of the license...
   To be an enemy, you must have an enemy. Does that mean that the United States Government declared themselves to be the enemy of the people when they declared the people to be their enemy? OF COURSE IT DOES! How can we possibly expect to have freedom while being regulated and licensed to death by an ENEMY?
   This brings us back to my statement about what freedom is. Either to do what you want to do, or be free not to do what you do not want to do. What I want to do is live my life without the Government's permission. This does not mean that I am ANTI- GOVERNMENT, it means that I am against UNLAWFUL, OPPRESSIVE, TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT.
   This is why we want to restore the Sovereignty of Texas as a nation. To rid ourselves of our DECLARED ENEMY, who is here by DECEPTION, DECEIT, FRAUD, MILITARY FORCE and ARBITRARY POLICE POWER. We want to restore our country to the simplicity of the Common Law, where no man has a natural right to commit aggression on the rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him. What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.
   There is no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for anyone to live without breaking laws.
   Common Law - Self Responsibility - Freedom. These are inseparable. Many people voice concerns and fears at not having man made laws. "I don't want someone driving a hundred miles and hour and killing me!" "I think everyone should have to have their car inspected, so that no one will be driving an unsafe car that might hurt me." What they are really saying is, "I am responsible but you might not be." Folks, if I want Freedom and Self Responsibility, I MUST LET YOU HAVE IT. If you want Freedom and Self Responsibility, YOU MUST LET ME HAVE IT. There must be freedom for ALL if there is to be freedom for ANYONE!
   The simple fact is that there ARE irresponsible people in our society. There ARE people who are going to hurt other people. There ARE people who are going to break the law, no matter what it is. Another simple fact is that laws do not prevent crime! Laws only define crime. The only thing that prevents crime is either the moral judgment of the self-responsible individual or the fear of JUSTICE and PUNISHMENT for crime.
   We must restore justice in Texas! How do we go about that? Some say: "Why don't we fix the system we have?." Well folks, I don't believe that we can restore justice by trying to reform our DECLARED ENEMY, which is the current de facto government of the STATE OF TEXAS - merely a sub-corporation and puppet of the foreign UNITED STATES Government. They do not want justice, they want POWER AND CONTROL. We must restore the Sovereignty of our beloved Texas as a nation and return to the Common Law. We must establish the People's Courts of Common Law. The only way we are going to restore justice is through the people. Liberty and justice has never come from government. Liberty and justice has always come from the PEOPLE!
   We must educate the people of Texas, so that they will know that they have lost freedom, liberty and justice and so that they will understand what these things really mean. Thomas Jefferson said, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." We must spread the word, that we don't really own our property, that the oppressive government agencies are operating without the delegated authority of the people, that almost ALL government officials are violating their oaths of office, wherein they swore to protect the rights of the people and uphold the constitution. That some so-called government agencies are not really government agencies at all, the IRS and BATF being prime examples. They are nothing more than foreign entities oppressing, extorting money from, and exercising arbitrary police power over all of us with absolutely no lawful authority to do so.
   We must spread the word that all these actions are being condoned and assisted by the very people in Texas we elected to protect us from our enemies. The people in the government of the STATE OF TEXAS are violating their oaths and evading their responsibilities to the People of Texas by allowing the fraud to be continued: that we are a part of another country and by allowing a foreign government and foreign entities to oppress us, control us, and confiscate the fruit of our labor by theft.
   We must, through the POLITICAL POWER of the PEOPLE, and through a Constitutional Convention, Alter or Abolish the current DECLARED ENEMY GOVERNMENT, as is our inherent political right, and form a government operating within the bounds of the contract with the people, responsive to the needs of the people, and above all a government that recognizes its true and only purpose, TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL; from ALL enemies, both foreign and domestic, above all else.
   Most of us feel the we must have a nation led by a government that conforms to the Laws of God. That immutable law mentioned earlier. There has been much talk about this, but it seems that different people attach different meanings to this. There have been those in our midst who would be the sole interpreter of God's Laws for everyone and impose their version upon all the people, which amounts to a National Religion. This must not and cannot be allowed. The only way to have a government truly led by our Creator, is to fill it with men of integrity, who serve Almighty God from their heart, and put the well being of the People ahead of their own personal wishes and desires. Men who will be fair and just in all their dealings. Men who tell the truth. It is within the power and the responsibility of the People to establish such a government, to define it, and to be ever vigilant to maintain their government under a watchful eye.
   I've been saying what we want and what we must do. But, who are the WE that I am talking about? Who are the People of the Republic of Texas? We are people from all walks of life. There are no racial, religious or philosophical boundaries. We are simply People who understand the extent to which our freedoms and liberties have been eroded over the past 150 years. We are people who are aware of the social and economic problems that exist and want to find a better way to solve these problems than with taxation and intrusive government. We believe in the principles of Freedom, Self-Responsibility, Common Law and Justice. We believe that we should have the freedom to travel, work, live and play without the government licensing and regulating our behavior. We believe that we should and can accomplish these things in our own Sovereign Nation, free from the Oppressive, Arbitrary Police Power of the de facto governments currently attempting to rule over us.
   The time to act is now! Because the time is short. We must have as many join us in our fight for freedom as we can get. Every one of us has a responsibility and a duty to ourselves and each other to promote the Republic of Texas and our fight for FREEDOM on a daily basis. Talk to your friends. Talk to those you meet from day to day. Bring them to meetings. WE MUST INCREASE OUR NUMBERS IN ORDER TO EXERCISE OUR POLITICAL POWER! When you wake up in the morning, ask yourself "What can I do today to help the Republic succeed?"  Since we believe in FREEDOM, LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL, it's our job to SPREAD THE NEWS!! God bless each and every one of you, and God Bless The Republic of Texas!!

What is Common Law?

What is Common Law?
by Jesse Enloe
October 9, 1997    For many this is a difficult question, since our society has been taught during our entire lifetimes that the laws we must obey are the laws made by legislature. The first step in understanding Common Law is in understanding what it is not. It is not statutory law, which is the law made and written by men. Although statutes should be based on the Common Law, if they are to exist, many are not. Many people want to get a book where the Common Law is stated in the manner that men have written statutes.
What I mean is, they want to be specifically told what is and what is not against the law. There is only one book that I know of that can be used as the "source book" for Common Law that applies to every natural person born to life on earth. That book is the Bible. Now, before some of you get ruffled about that statement please consider the rest of this article.
Simply defined, the Common Law is that law that is Common to ALL individuals on this planet. How could there be such law? Where could a law come from that could apply to everyone? The basic premise that answers this question is in the belief that there is a Supreme Creator of life on this planet and that He is the lawgiver. If this premise is true, then surely, whether we recognize Him or not, the law that He established is immutable law.
For those who do not believe that there is a Supreme Creator, there is still very logical reasoning behind the concept of Common Law. That is that the basic principles of the law set forth in the Bible can be seen in every system of law on Earth. Let's take a look at the Ten Commandments as set forth in the Bible. As you will see, the law here is basically in two categories:
1. Verses 1 through 11 speak of one's relationship to God.
2. Verses 12 through 17 speak of one's relationship with other individuals and society in general.
Exodus - Chapter 20: Verses 1-17 1. And God spake all these words, saying, 2. I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6. And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13. Thou shalt not kill. 14. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15. Thou shalt not steal. 16. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
When we speak of the Common Law in the Republic of Texas, we also must consider the freedom of the expression of one's particular faith or belief. In fact, we must allow freedom for anyone to believe whatever his/her conscience dictates whether we agree with it or not. Thus, the first four Commandments must be left to the understanding, interpretation and belief of each individual and their own relationship, or non-relationship, with God. The remaining six Commandments, however, directly affect each and every individual alive and affect society as a whole.
Who, in their right mind, would argue that murder, adultery, theft and lying are not wrong - in ANY society! The reason for the tenth commandment is that these things begin in one's heart. If one covets the possessions of another, it can lead to one of the crimes just mentioned. Who could argue that everyone following these Commandments would not produce a crime free society? Obviously that's a little too much to hope for, since we know the inherent fallibility of the human race. So we must have something to go by to have an ordered society where the rights of every individual are protected by a law that applies to everyone. This law must have direct correlation to the inalienable rights given to each individual at birth. Thus, the Law of the Bible, the Divine Law, is the very essence of the Common Law.
For those who do not choose to use the Bible as the source for the Common Law, another definition, man's definition is offered: "The Common Law is based on common usage and customs of the society." This is why the law, as described above, fits here too. It is, or should be, understood by everyone that murder, adultery, theft and lying are crimes against the rights of others.
For those who do choose the Bible as their source, of course there are the Ten Commandments. The Law is also re-stated in the New Testament. One such reference is found in Romans chapter 13 verses 8, 9 and 10 as follows: 8. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
In the Republic of Texas we define the Common Law simply in this manner:
"Do no harm to another, Do no harm to another's property, and Your word is your bond [meaning honor all contracts, verbal or written, and don't lie]."
It would be difficult, if not impossible, to think of a crime against another that would not fit into one of these categories. What does not fit into the Common Law is when behavior that does no harm to anyone is defined by men as a crime.
For example, a person traveling on a roadway who does not make a complete stop at a "Stop Sign." If there are no other people traveling in the vicinity, and no one is harmed, in the Common Law no crime has been committed. If, however, you cause an accident with another traveler because you failed to observe the traveling rights of the one who was already in the intersection and harm them or their property, then a Common Law crime has occurred. This is why there are common sense procedures that should be followed in our society, but not to the extent of paying tribute to some governmental body when no one has been harmed!
One of the biggest reasons it is so hard to understand the Common Law as opposed to Statutory Law, is that men make laws in an attempt to REGULATE THE BEHAVIOR OF OTHERS TO PREVENT CRIME [Statutory Law]. The truth is, however, that NO LAW CAN PREVENT CRIME. Laws only DEFINE CRIME. The only thing that can prevent crime is the morality of the individual [a conscious decision not to commit crime] or the fear of JUSTICE and PUNISHMENT for crime. Thus, the defining of the Law is an entirely different matter from the enforcement of the Law.
The book "The Law" by the French writer Frederick Bastiat is one of the best there is at explaining why we need law and what the force of law is. Please consider this excerpt from his book:
"Life, liberty and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place. What then is Law? It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.
"Each of us has a natural right, from God, to defend his person, his liberty, and his property. These are the three basic requirements of life, and the preservation of any one of them depend upon the preservation of the other two.
"If every person has the right to defend, even by force, his person, his liberty and his property, then it follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly. Thus the principle of collective right, its reason for existing, its lawfulness, is based on individual right. And the common force that protects this collective right cannot logically have any other purpose or any other mission than that for which it acts as a substitute. Thus, since an individual cannot lawfully use force against the person, liberty or property of another individual then the common force, for the same reason, cannot lawfully be used to destroy the person, liberty or property of individuals or groups."
Our society today depends upon the written statutes to define what is against the law and what the punishment is. The problem is that so many of the statutes written by men go far beyond the basic purpose of law and attempt to define every possible behavior or action. What's wrong with this is that there are as many variations on behavior as there are people. Another thing that's wrong with this is that many things are defined as crimes for no other purpose than extorting money, freedom or property from the People by unscrupulous men who have gained positions of "power" in the government. As stated in Bastiat's book, when the legal system exceeds their basic purpose, to protect individual rights, it becomes a system of legalized plunder. Look at what we have today.
So what is the proper enforcement of the Common Law? To answer this question we must realize who has the power to enforce the Law. Bastiat also tells us this when he uses the words "common force." The power to enforce the Law comes from the People. It is based on their individual right to protect themselves and their individual right to justice. The organization of this right is customarily in men selected by the people to "keep the peace" [enforce the law] and a council of men selected to make judgments as to violations of the law and the punishment [justice] to be imposed.
From the days of the Magna Carta, which is said to be the first attempt at writing the Common Law in English, this "council" has been called a "jury." We in the Republic of Texas believe that the Common Law, as it relates to individual actions, should only be administered by the lawfully elected Sheriff of the county, and by a lawfully selected jury of 12 in Courts of the People, set up by the People. Since the actions and actual crimes can be so varied and contain so many different factors, such as willful intent as opposed to accidental or negligent, each case must be looked at individually by the jury to judge the law, the facts and the rules of evidence.
If the system of justice and law is given into the hands of the elected "government" the door is open to all of the abuses of the rights of the People that seem so common today and always happen when the government goes unchecked. The jury is, in fact, the very thing that must be used to check the government, and not allow individual rights to be abused. It is a universal principle that no one should ever suffer the loss of life, liberty or property except by due process of the administration of the law of the land. This is where we must all understand that the Law of the Land in Texas and in the united States of America is the COMMON LAW.
Think about it. We call a constitution the "Law of the Land." But it is a COMMON LAW DOCUMENT. Was it created by statute? Was it created by a government? No. It was created by the will of the People exercising their collective right to self preservation of their individual rights.
So, how do we sum up the Common Law? Depending on your particular faith or belief it is either the Law set forth by the God of the Bible to apply to all who live and dwell upon the Earth, or simply the law that is common to all for the protection of the rights that are common to every individual against abuse by others. These two ways of saying it are totally compatible and, either way, it is the law that defines crimes against individuals and is administered by the collective force as organized by the People.
Once again, when someone is harmed in any manner, their body or their property, it is for a jury to decide the issue. A jury that are the judges of the entire case, not a jury whose hands and consciences are tied by one man, called a "Judge," that tells them how they must decide based on HIS interpretation of statutes. If we want to restore FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE in our land, we must return to the Common Law, Common Law Procedures, trial by a jury, and instill the FEAR OF PUNISHMENT in those who lack the individual morality to refrain from the abuse of the rights of another.

LEGAL FREEDOM

Synopsis of Redemption in Law
[Used by permission of BBC of America]     Important note: In studying this material, never go past a word or symbol without knowing how it is defined¹. If you have difficulty, go back to the place in the text where you were last doing well, before you get into trouble, and look for a word or symbol that was not understood. This includes even the simplest [every day] words, such as "from" and "as", as well as the legal terms you will encounter. When you find the misunderstood word, consult a good dictionary to become clear as to how the word is defined, including the etymology, and then continue from that point.
Some of the key words you will encounter in the next few paragraphs are defined as follows:
Commerce: all and every interchange between people, including (but not limited to) sexual intercourse, exchange of ideas and the ordinary buying/selling in the marketplace to which the term "commerce" is usually applied. All law is contract; every interchange between people is contract; all commerce is contract. It is a timeless and universal maxim of law. . ."Contracts make the law".
Chattel: personal and moveable property. . .including a slave.
Commercial chattel property: a slave, or permanently indentured servant, by contract, i.e. operation of commercial law.
Law: the rules, or body of rules, defining who possesses what right or authority to use deadly force (violence) against another.
 You will encounter other legal terms in the coming pages...so be sure to consult a law dictionary to understand the meaning of each.
Introduction: The legal status of essentially every man, woman and child on the planet is that of being a slave, commercial chattel property, a hopelessly indentured servant forever. In law it is an all-or-nothing matter: you are either a slave or a sovereign.2 There is no middle ground - you are either one or the other. If you want to be a sovereign in law you must actualize the laws which enable you to be recognized as such. The program this synopsis outlines is a set of legal procedures which enables anyone to attain legally established, recognized freedom and sovereignty.
Preamble: For thousands of years the Powers That Be have been steadfastly constructing the System by which world law and commerce operate. They have developed their System utilizing timeless principles of human interaction which, over the millennia, have been discovered and codified. These fundamental, common-sense principles underlie every form of law extant on the planet. Every legal issue and dispute deals with one or more of these principles since all human interchange is commerce, interact and subsist. Those operating the System have achieved their preeminence by knowing the foundational principles and encrypting them into "codes" for their own benefit, while confusing the masses and keeping them ignorant of such real law and how to employ it correctly. The pinnacle of their efforts to date is the U.C.C. World commerce now functions under; and, is securely entrenched in, the U.C.C. The important points to remember are that while the U.C.C. was formulated for purposes of exploitation and subjugation, it is a particular codification of the universal Uniform Commercial Code, underlying laws of commerce; and, perhaps most importantly, can be employed for our benefit now that the code has been "cracked".
The foundational maxims of the underlying commercial law, from which all law and commerce in the world today derive, are:

1. A workman is worthy of his hire.
2. All are equal under the law (moral and natural law).
3. In commerce truth is sovereign.
4. Truth is expressed in the form of an affidavit.
5. An unrebutted claim, charge, or affidavit stands as the truth in commerce.
6. An unrebutted affidavit becomes the judgment in commerce.

Caveat³: You are responsible for yourself and your own actions. If you act in what you do not understand and can support in law. . . the consequences are entirely your own responsibility. This synopsis does not constitute practice of law or giving legal advice. It is for informational purposes only.
In law the ultimate, or supreme, claimant in a matter is called "The Real Party of Interest" (RP0I). The "Real Party in Interest" (RPII) is a front ( a straw man⁴, such as the "United States" and all its agencies, "State of Texas", etc.) for the RPOI (an actual man, such as one of the Bankers, who are the U.S. Creditors in bankruptcy, the Queen of england, the Pope, etc.). Today, the true Real Parties of interest behind the U.S. bankruptcy, government and New World Order, remain hidden from, and unknown to, the masses. Throughout this synopsis numerous terms are used to designate the RPOI and RPII, which are largely used interchangeably. These include, but are not limited to: "government", "the bankers", "the system", the "Elite", and the like. It must be emphasized that individuals come and go, live and die. The actual identities of the Real Parties of Interest are now irrelevant. The important considerations are that the timeless and established laws of commerce remain intact; and, that the perceived "villains" are not the ultimate source of the problem. Those against whom we rail as conspirators, arch-criminals, etc. Are merely filling in the configuration which we, through our own irresponsibility, ignorance, apathy, stupidity and foolish trust, created. In other words, Pogo is correct: "We have met the enemy and he is us". Both cause and cure reside in ourselves.
I. Fundamental concepts A. Initial considerations
1. Law is precise. It revolves around how words are defined. Deadly, destructive violence is attached to the words, and the meaning of said words, used in legal documents and proceedings. To have any hope of knowing what you are doing in law, and why, it is essential to know how the words being used are defined. This is the key to what is happening and what must be done. Understand the way the words used are defined in law and you can be clear and function on firm footing; fail to know what the words mean and you can be damaged or even destroyed. An ancient maxim of law states: "In order rightly to comprehend a thing, inquire first into the names, for a right knowledge to things depends upon their names". 2. The rules of law are set forth in writing, in words, syntax, grammar, etc. The way words are legally defined is the basis of the game. What the rules are, and their practical application and ramifications in use of force, is a function of the legal definitions of the words used to write the rules. Words used in legal matters have different meanings than the same words in ordinary usage. Remember, to "assume" makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me". In the case of law, being an "ass" can mean slavery, imprisonment, or death. As Thomas Jefferson said: "Those who expect to be both ignorant and free are expecting something which never has and never will exist". A list of key terms, and key definitions of those terms, as relates to this process, has been provided below. It is not, however, a substitute for an excellent law dictionary. It is recommended that you obtain one or more of the generally accepted law dictionaries, such as Bouvier's, Ballantine's or Black's. If you can afford it, it is best to have both a copy of the first and the most recent editions, so you may gain a better understanding of what is happening in the world, and to the world, via the law. If cost is a factor, an excellent small legal dictionary, Barron's, is available at any book store for under $15.00. In any event, look up any legal term of which you are not certain. Do not take anything for granted⁵.
3. You should also acquire, if at all possible, a copy of the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.)⁶, since the U.C.C. is supreme in the world; and, the other codes and bodies of law are all subsets of, and subordinate to, the U.C.C. The "common law" of the planet is commercial law, which is embodied/codified in the U.C.C. All other law amounts to "following rabbit trails" and being endlessly mislead. Deal with the source.
4. With respect to UCC-1 Financing Statement Filings, thus far, most of the Secretary of State offices have been helpful and cooperative⁷. Documents that have been incorrectly executed have been sent back with explanation of the error. For many people, freedom is of incomparable value. This program is essential for attaining freedom; notwithstanding whatever else one may do - intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially, economically, or spiritually. The worst thing one can do - legally - is nothing. Do not confuse domains of life. The spiritual, etc. Are their own realms, realities and endeavors; law is its own domain and must be managed in its own sphere, as other aspects of life must be in theirs.
5. Notwithstanding the above caveats, commercial law and the commercial process are in many ways very broad, unlike "normal" law. After all, the entire world functions by the commercial process as set forth in the U.C.C. It is important to understand that the Redemption process described herein is fundamentally doable by anyone of normal intelligence. One should not be daunted or cowed by fear that any little mistake might be disastrous. Our disaster thus far is having done nothing - due mostly to ignorance, laziness and foolish trust in "authority". It would be compounded folly to continue to do nothing based upon fear⁸. Remember "what is difficult for the student is easy for the master".
Understand the central points, become clear concerning the foundation of the matter and build clearly and calmly from that point. Be honest with yourself about what you do not understand and direct your endeavors to rectifying the deficiency. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Once help is given, verify the information in the U.C.C., law dictionaries; and, with other people whom you believe have reason to know (such as those who have successfully accomplished the process). Establish a solid foundation and build on it soundly. Orderly step-by-step progress, in which every aspect of every step is thoroughly understood and derived appropriately from its previous steps, is the mans to obtain complete legal security.
B. The real vs. the imaginary
1. Everyone has two fundamental aspects: real (biological organism, being, substance, aliveness) and abstract (ego⁹, mental concepts, ideas). This situation is characterized in semantics s the difference between the map and the territory, the name and the thing named. The word "water" is a symbol, an abstraction of the mind, while actual water is tangible, real and able to be experienced by the senses. One cannot drink the word "water".
2. The mind is capable of imagining unlimited varieties and configurations of abstractions. These include non-tangible concepts (and collections of concepts) and mental constructs such as "the people", "nation", "corporation" "trust", "limited partnership"and "government". When an abstraction is treated as real, legally, the result in law is a fictitious entity, "person"¹⁰ or "artificial person". It cannot be seen, touched or heard. Since all law is contract, the system operates against you on the basis of presumption that you have contractually agreed that your "straw man"- your name appearing in all capital letters, the name in which all industrial goods and services come to you - is their exclusive property.
3. Government and commercial law can deal only against fictitious entities (persons, artificial persons) and the documents creating them, such as corporations, trusts, certificates of title, birth certificates, etc., and contracts involving same. Such persons include your all-capital letter name, i.e. your straw man, which also happens to be what is called a "corporation sole" (an incorporation of yourself). The Real Parties of Interest who own the law and money, and the agencies/resources of essentially all of the world's governments, created your straw man shortly after your birth. Since they created and presumed ownership of your straw man they can tax, regulate and destroy their property as they see fit. The real you, i.e. your living, sentient, biological being is indivisibly united with your fictitious name, straw man person, as the ego is inextricably united with the organism. The straw man includes your ego and the words, concepts, thoughts and ideas with which you interact with other people in speaking or writing. That which is done to the straw man is transmitted/transferred to the being linked thereto.
4. A sovereign possesses full right to dispense with his own property in any manner he wishes. If the sovereign Elite who own the straw man with which you are contractually presumed to have become unified, elect to tax, fine, regulate, enslave, or kill the abstract straw man; then, you, the physical/biological being, experience the consequences in reality. In such a legal status you are devoid of capacity to assert/enforce any rights. You have no "standing in law". A slave cannot sue his master/owner.
5. When you secure ownership of your straw man in accordance with the legal procedures required to do so, you reunite your inherent Rights and Title to Rights (which are innate, unalienable and never leave you) with the Certificate of Title to Rights. In such case you have all claim on your straw man. In such case no other being in the universe has any claim¹¹ on your straw man. In such case all other entities are devoid of capacity to act against you or any property you have thus secured.
6. The commercial crux of the matter is: WHO OWNS YOUR STRAW MAN? Unless you legally own your straw man, officials of the system possess the right in law, i.e. deadly violence, to treat you in any manner the system mandates or allows, because the system owns your straw man. On the other hand, if you own your straw man no one in government, or anywhere else, can "state a claim" upon which relief can be granted", i.e. no one can penetrate your universe legally or commercially. They are estopped¹²ab initio.¹³
7. Presumption of contractual ownership of your straw man by the system is the basis of the system's claim against you. When you legally dissolve the presumption of contract between you and their ownership of your straw man, the basis of the government's claim on you is removed and you are legally established as sovereign and free.
8. Regain the legal capacity¹⁴(key word) of a sovereign and you have standing in law to assert your rights presumption and can successfully rebut the foundational presumption of law by which the entire legal system functions. That presumption of law is that you have - as a free-will sovereign exercising your power of free choice - knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily contracted to be bound with, and thereby be subject to, the system. If you can properly rebut the presumption of bondage you are free; if you fail to do so your failure is a legal default (agreement by silence), signifying agreement with the position of the system that you are indeed a slave.
9. The rules are self-enforcing. The law is self-supporting. If you use the law improperly (which includes failure to use it at all) you lose by default. If you use the rules properly, you not only win but place the entirety of the law enforcement machinery of the world on your side instead of against you.
II. Current status and how it came about A. A land mark Supreme Court case of 1795, Penhallow vs. Doane's Administrators, defines governments succinctly: "governments are corporations". Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, a creature of the mind only, a government can deal only with artificial persons. The imaginary, having no real substance, cannot create or attain parity with the real. The legal aspect of this is that no government, or any law, agency, aspect, or court thereof, can concern itself with anything other than corporate, artificial persons and the contracts between them. One might immediately dispute this statement by pointing out that people are acted upon by agents of governments and fined, imprisoned, plundered and killed by government officials every day. The reason this can occur in law is due to the following:
1. The Powers That Be, who know and use the law, have stolen, conquered, subjugated and laid claim to the planet and the six billion people on it by using a foundational and inviolable axiom of law:
"An unrebutted affidavit, claim, or charge (no matter how preposterous
criminal, or illegitimate) stands as the truth in commerce". 2. The maxim cited above is necessarily true because unless what is asserted is rebutted or disputed by the affected party there is no basis for anyone to know or act in any manner contrary to the unrebutted/undisputed claim or charge. This is a free-will universe. The unit of experience, rights and sovereignty is each particular man. No one in the universe can speak for you other than you - including rebutting or disputing a presumption. As per the famous quote in Longfellow's Courtship of Miles Standish; "Why don't you speak for yourself John [Alden]". This is the basis of the ancient maxim of law: "He who fails to assert his rights has none".
3. The government acts against the artificial person that the government creates and owns. The real being is acted upon because of presumption that the real being has knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily contracted to be unified or identified with the artificial person owned by the RPOI for whom the government fronts as a RP11. If you do not rebut the presumption, it stands as the truth and the judgment of the law.
4. The above-referenced presumed contract of the system's ownership of your straw man is considered valid because you have failed to dispute the presumption of a contractual nexus - thereby agreeing - and you lose by default. Or, worse yet, you expressly ratify the contract by action or written assent. To accept any benefit from the system is to contractually incur the obligations associated therewith.
5. Examples of contract ratification are:

a. Ratification by act (implied contract) occurs in a restaurant when you order and consume a meal. You have, by your actions and without signing a written contract, contractually agreed to pay for the meal.
b. Ratification by express contract with government occurs wherever anyone signs a form or application to accept any government benefit or privilege, such as driving a car, welfare, food stamps, unemployment insurance, etc. One who accepts the contractual benefits simultaneously incurs the contractual obligations. In the case of contracts with government, the obligations you incur are decided wholly by the government.¹⁵

III. Foundational instrument/contract and how to eliminate its claim on you A. The fact that all human interactions, commerce and law is contract means that all actions of the officials or agents of any government, without exception, derive from presumption of an express, implied, or presumed contract. The key issues are:
 

1. What is the ultimate, central core contractual instrument embodying or evidencing the certificate of title to yourself and your body, labor and property whereby the holder of said instrument may be deemed in law to hold title to, i.e. own, your straw man?
2. By what means in law can any presumed contract of ownership of your straw man (by the system) be effectively rebutted, disputed and rendered null and void?
3. How can you become the sovereign owner, the "holder in due course¹⁶" of your straw man and the above- referenced instrument?
4. What is your capacity and standing in law if you fail to be established as the owner of your straw man and the above-referenced instrument?
5. What is your capacity and standing in law if you are established as the owner of your straw man and the above-referenced instrument?

B. The answer to the first question: the identity of the foundational instrument constituting certificate of title to your being, life, rights, faculties, labor and property in open-ended perpetuity, is your Birth Certificate. Your Birth Certificate is the Certificate¹⁷ of Title to your straw man, alluded to above. It is essentially a Certificate of Deed to yourself. Literally and legally, it is a warehouse receipt, a bill of lading, FOB¹⁸ the hospital of birth.
C. Ever since the Declaration of Independence the world powers (kings, popes and money changers) have operated unceasingly to obtain full control, ownership and subjugation of the U.S.A. and the American People. To date they have succeeded in great measure. The weakness of their scheme is that their operations have been founded on deceit and rebuttable/disputable presumptions and will not stand the test of genuine scrutiny, i.e. the full light of day. Their entire operation dissolves when the presumptions on which they function are correctly rebutted, which is the purpose of the procedure which is outlined in this synopsis. The strength of their position is that the American People in particular, and the people of the world in general, live in ignorance and apathy, give away their power and freedom and have thereby defaulted themselves into slavery.
D. Remembering the foundational premise that all law is contract, the would-be Rulers of the World have "succeeded" by making us contractually subject to their rulership/ownership. As per the maxim of law, "as a thing is bound, so it is unbound", the same rules that made us slaves can make us free. The rules are the rules are the rules. The legal consequences to our lives are exclusively a function of our use of the rules.
E. Increasing numbers of people are becoming aware that the "contract" of the presumed nexus between a man and the government that rules him is structurally defective. Per universal contract law, in order for a contract to be valid, i.e. a contract at all, it must be formulated in accordance with specific fundamentals. Most fundamentally, contract is the formalization and codification of an agreement. In order to achieve agreement, all parties must understand the full scope and nature, the full terms and conditions, of the proposed contract, or no agreement - and hence no contract - exists. Parties must achieve a "meeting of the minds" for any agreement to exist. People enter into contracts in order to be bettered in their own terms. No one enters into a contract to be diminished, cheated or destroyed. Any purported "contract" that fails to be characterized by mutual good faith, meeting of the minds, open and full disclosure of all terms and conditions, is either void or voidable. It is flawed from inception and can be rendered null and void by the election of the deceived or defrauded party.
F. The Texas Civil Code sets forth contract law in §§ 1549, et seq. Some crucial sections are:
§ 1550. Essential elements of contract
It is essential to the existence of a contract that there should be:

1. Parties capable of contracting [capacity];
2. Their consent;
3. Lawful object; and,
4. A sufficient cause or consideration.

§ 1556. Who may contract

1. All persons are capable of contracting, except minors, persons of unsound mind, and persons deprived of civil rights.

§ 1565. Essentials of consent
The consent of the parties to a contract must be:

1. Free;
2. Mutual; and,
3. Communicated by each to the other.

§ 1567. An apparent consent is not real or free when obtained through:

1. Duress;
2. Menace;
3. Fraud;
4. Undue influence; or
5. Mistake

G. The crucial and incurable flaw in all governments and the "laws" which issue therefrom, is the nonexistence of genuine agreement between the parties due to absence of full disclosure, true meeting of the minds and mutual good faith. In presuming to have formed a bona fide, good faith contract with a government, the "citizens" were never informed of the full terms and conditions of the alleged contract. They were never told that they would be sacrificing their freedom and autonomy and agreeing to become the subjugated, ruled, exploited slaves of whatever men occupy positions of "authority" in the so-called "government". The reason this situation exists is because the people have deluded themselves, lied to themselves and failed to communicate and be sincere with themselves. The outer world of human law and governments is merely the effect of what the people themselves have caused. Do not blame the messenger for the message. H. In accordance with timeless and universal principles of contract law; in the absence of genuine agreement no contract exists. At best, there can be only a presumption of contract based on the deceived party having been kept in the dark, being ignorant of the truth, or having foolishly trusted in the other party. When one fails to object to, i.e. rebut, the presumption that a contract exists, it may, perforce, rightfully be assumed or construed that a contract does indeed exist.
I. Although fraud is always unlawful, it is not illegal in state rulership systems. The rationale for to one may assent19 to fraud. More seriously, all governments are necessarily, structurally and inherently fraudulent, and cannot be otherwise. It is therefore self evident that fraud must be legal in order for a government to be able to self-adjudicate itself as legal even to exist. In other words, to assent to the existence of a government is to assent to the legality of fraud.¹⁹
J. Remember the cardinal, central principle on the basis of which the Powers That Be have stolen and enslaved the world: "An unrebutted claim, charge, or affidavit stands as the truth in commerce". Failure to rebut is agreement by silence; nothing is on the table for discussion other than the unrebutted claim. Another fundamental maxim of commercial law is crucial: "A matter must be expressed to be resolved". Only each unique, autonomous being has the knowledge, right, or duty to affirm his truth. No one else can do it for him or is obligated to try. In fact, doing so is unlawful, inasmuch as only a man himself can speak for himself.
K. In commercial law the ultimate owner of an instrument is called the "holder in due course" (HDC)...the only one who possesses a valid claim. A "holder" may legally possess the instrument, but lacks the ultimate claim held by the HDC. To be a HDC requires that the "...holder ...took it for value, in good faith, and without notice of any claim or defense against it, and who can enforce the instrument free from all claims and personal defenses... A holder does not become a holder in due course of an instrument by... purchasing it as part of a bulk transaction not in the regular course of business or the transferor". As stated earlier, our Birth Certificate is a warehouse receipt. Birth certificates are bundled together and transferred or purchased in bulk. Moreover, this purchase and transfer is "not in the regular course of business of the transferor", i.e. you! In addition, possession was not taken "in good faith" and the holder cannot "enforce the instrument free from all claims and personal defenses". This means that whoever acts as if he owned your Birth Certificate can be only a holder of it and can never be the actual holder in due course. The HDC is the most powerful position in any exchange. When you understand when you are and when you are not the HDC of an instrument or transaction, and apply it, your whole life will change. You are sovereign and untouchable with respect to anything of which you are the HDC. Why not be the HDC of yourself, all your affairs, and everything else concerning which you wish to be the actual owner?
L. The entire matter is profound. Just as all of manifest existence was created by thought, all our thoughts - and words - create. All that we are, and everything we experience, we created by thought. Thought is destiny. "Be careful what you wish for - you may get it". Since everything we experience is the product of thought, what value inheres in fighting, resisting, running, or hiding from the natural-law effects of what we ourselves caused? No one can escape from himself. Man's fundamental problem is that he deals with effects while ignoring their causes. A major reason for this is the time interval between causing an event and experiencing its effect. Birth is not instantaneous with conception; harvest does not occur at the instant the seed is planted. Intermediate natural law processes are vast and inexorable.
M. Our entire legal situation is the playing out of the laws of existence. When the Bible states: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you", it is stating in devotional or theological terms what stated by Lao-tzu in existential terms". "The source of life is as a mother. Be fond of both mother [source] and children [creations] but know the mother dearer and you outlive death. Curb your tongue and senses and you are beyond trouble; let them loose and you are beyond help²⁰." The point is that "normal life" consists of attempt to acquire by grant, theft, grasping, physical labor, or some other external effort, ownership of a manifest thing (the outward expression of an inner, unmanifest cause). This is being fond of the children instead of the mother. We can truly own something only when we are one with what we desire at its source (the "Kingdom of God" or "source of live", the true reality and unmanifest origin of our manifest selves). If we act "out there" in the realm of some phase of the vast set of natural - law processes which mechanically and heartlessly carry out "cause and effect", we can never truly fulfill our desire. This is falling for, i.e. becoming absorbed in, the Wizard's light show, which is a chimera²¹ and alien to us.
N. The key to becoming the HDC is "Acceptance for Value". The fact that your Birth Certificate is held in limbo by parties who can never be the HDC of it means that it is in suspense awaiting your redemption of it. "Redemption" has been defined (in part) as: "Deliverance from the power of alien domination and the enjoyment of the resulting right or interest". You achieve union of "effect" and "cause" simply by accepting that which already belongs to you. That only you, and you alone, can become the HDC and do so is the evidence of your exchange of value. This completes the circle, renders you owner and holder in due course of the entire matter. Such an action redeems the process from "alien (phenomena, appearance, illusion, maya, natural-law processes outside of yourself) dominion".
O. When an offer is made, title passes upon acceptance of the offer. This meeting of the minds =agreement = contract. All that remains is to give evidence of the exchange.
P. The Department of Commerce accepted your Birth Certificate from your mother, who unwittingly pledged you to the State and delivered you into bondage, slavery, and the status of being chattel property in permanently indentured servitude. The Department of Commerce became the de facto holder of the Certificate of Rights to you and you body, labor, and property and gave you a claim check. Whoever the holder of your Birth Certificate became the de facto²² holder of the Certificate of Rights to you and your body, labor, and property and gave you a claim check. Whoever the holder of your Birth certificate may how be has no more right to it than someone holding a possession for you in your absence and waiting for you to come back and claim it, to redeem it. The current holder of your Birth Certificate is able to capitalize on it because of your inaction and silence, i.e. your failure to instruct said holder otherwise. "While the cat's away the mice will play". When you, as the king, abnegate your throne to your underlings they run amuck. When you reclaim ownership of your Birth Certificate by accepting it for value, you regain your crown - you reinstall yourself on your own throne. You regain dominion and sovereignty over your own kingdom. The Wizard (alleged real Party of interest, pretender to the throne) and all your underlings (bureaucrats) are banished from power. You cannot obtain this condition by earning, fighting, or running. No one but you can give you back your own throne. Arguing or fighting = assenting. The only issue is then...how much??
Q. There are only two classes of people in the world and in any legal proceeding: Creditor and Debtor. When your sovereignty is established in law you become the Creditor and any adverse party (the Debtor in any dispute with you. If you fail to establish your sovereignty in law, you do not own yourself, have no legal capacity and are devoid of standing to assert any rights. You remain a permanent debtor, and must always lose in any dispute with the system for "failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted". Reclaiming ownership of your straw man acts as a bar, or estoppel²³ to any and all comers. If you fail to establish your sovereignty in law, you do not own yourself, have no legal capacity, and are devoid of standing to assert any rights. You remain a permanent debtor and must always lose in any dispute with the system for "failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted". Reclaiming ownership of your straw man acts as a bar, or estoppel to any and all comers. If you fail to reclaim rights to title of your straw man by filing a UCC-1 Lien²⁴, making you the creditor and absolute ruler of your straw man, you are not sovereign and you will lose at resolution of any dispute. This is why, if you contemplate hiring an attorney to represent (re-present) you in any legal proceeding against the system, ask him if he can make you the HDC of the action. If he cannot (which he cannot), then you will lose. The best any attorney can do is make a deal, which is a compromise (how much) rather than a clear win. You must be the HDC to be able to ensure victory.
IV. Explanation of procedures - why the process works. 1. There is no lawful money in circulation today. What passes as money - the medium of exchange, currency, legal tender - is private commercial paper evidencing the debt of the citizens of a county to pay on the collective bankruptcy of their government. Real money is substance (gold, silver, tangible produce of the earth, including labor); it cannot be debt. Citizen = bankrupt = legal incapacity = no rights to title to anything = no ownership of self or property = no rights to own, use and pass real money. Use of real money is the right of sovereigns, not slaves. This is why House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192 ²⁵, June 5, 1933 also known as Public Law 73-10, in declaring the bankruptcy of the U.S. states:
"That ... every provision contained in or made with respect to any obligation which purports to give the obligee a right to require payment in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency, or in an amount in money of the United States measured thereby, is declared to be against public policy ..."²⁶
This rendered every "citizen of the United States" civilly dead in the law. It barred the way back to the Eden of sovereignty, power to enforce one's rights, access to the common law, etc. It left everyone bound to the ever-shifting mirages of endless hypothecations against one's straw man over which no one had a claim.
2. Debt is created by signature, by signing notes of indebtedness. All "money" in circulation today is created from thin air by borrowing against the collective (federal) bankruptcy. Only by borrowing against a government's bankruptcy can its citizens/slaves have pieces of paper ("Monopoly money)²⁷ to spend like money.
3. Unless one is the HDC of one's straw man, "owning" such debt money or anything it buys is a liability and not an asset. The fact that people mistakenly consider FRNs (Federal Reserve Notes) to be assets (the more of them one acquires the "richer" one is) is a major cause of the problem. When one accumulates FRNS, one is accumulating debt. The more FRNs, the more industrial goods and services acquired with them, the more indebted one is.
4. Since all money is created by borrowing against a nation's collective bankruptcy by signature...every time you sign your name to any public document, or contract, or instrument involving FRNs as the "valuable" consideration, you borrow against (increase) your own debt. By increasing your borrowing and indebtedness you provide yourself with more debt instruments to "spend". This is akin to a slave in permanent indentured servitude who commits himself ever deeper in debt every time he borrows from his master in order to have scrip to use to purchase goods and services at the plantation commissary.
5. Since all money is created by borrowing against the collective bankruptcy of the corporate United States, it is mathematically impossible to ever pay off the debt. The only money available must be borrowed into existence. Thus, any "money" one acquires to "pay" on the debt would be obtained by borrowing, i.e. increasing the very debt one was attempting to liquidate. This is a never-ending, ever-worsening situation. To see the principle in action, examine the rate of increase of the National Debt.
6. When you establish your sovereignty and self ownership in law via a UCC-1 Financing Statement, your entire life is dramatically affected. You become the HDC, i.e. the sovereign, rather than a hopeless debtor and chattel property. The controversy, fighting, arguing, dodging, makeshifts, paying and fear are over.
V. Summary 1. The State (in any aspect, any jurisdiction, any country, any culture, any time) can act against your straw man only if said State holds title to it by virtue of your failure to redeem it. Your failure constitutes assent to the presumption that the State is the de facto owner and holder of title to your straw man.
2. The most powerful contract in the world is a UCC-1 Financing Statement. impenetrable, and the foundation of all commerce.
3. The Financing Statement currently in place against your life, your labor and all your property was established by illegitimate presumption. That you fail to rebut the presumption is the reason you are in the mess you are today.
4. The security instrument is your Birth Certificate. The bankers presently hold title. You are the collateral. This can happen only by omission/failure to rebut their presumption.
5. The bankers have conquered and enslaved the world only because of the ignorance, apathy and default of each slave. This is a freewill universe. The unit of experience, choice, rights and sovereignty is each individual. You are the only being in the universe with either the right, knowledge, power, or duty to speak for yourself; no one else can assert your rights for you. If you fail to assert your rights, you have tacitly agreed to be a slave, subject to the shims of your masters.
6. It is of the utmost importance to understand that the bankers' claim of ownership of title to your straw man via your Birth Certificate is by presumption only, and stands only because of your failure to rebut it. Filing a UCC-1 Financing Statement against your straw man absolutely rebuts any presumption of claim to your straw man by anyone other than you; while, at the same time, being itself unrebuttable. There are many reasons for this - the most crucial being:

a. Any substantiation of a bona fide contract between you and the usurpers of your throne is impossible because there never was a bona fide contract due to absence of true agreement based upon the interaction being devoid of full disclosure, genuine meeting of the minds and mutual good faith.
b. You are, and are correctly presumed in law (all law, including theirs), to be the foundation, origin, and unit of sovereignty. Whatever you choose to do or not to do is presumed to be done or not to be done by choice. If you fail to rebut their presumption that you are subject to their system they possess the grounds to presume that you chose to act as you did, with knowledge of the law²⁸, in the freewill manner that you did. Conversely, the same philosophy that has worked against you can work for you when you rebut their presumption and redeem your sovereign capacity. Approximately six billion people are ex-sovereigns who have, by their sovereign act of non-action (default), made themselves slaves on a slave plantation of which they are the rightful owners.²⁹

7. You dispute/rebut the presumption of validity of the bankers' claim against you by filing, in your biological, sovereign capacity, a UCC-1 Financing Statement in the office of any State Secretary of State claiming title to your straw man. You also secure all other government-issued documents and all other items you wish to maintain dominion over, under your UCC-1 Financing Statement...the system can perfect no claim against your straw man or any of the secured property. 8. A subject/slave has no capacity to assert any rights; and, the system has the contractual, legal right to treat you any way it chooses. A sovereign holds sovereign title to his property. If you reclaim self ownership neither the bankers, nor anyone else in existence, can perfect any claim against you.
9. In law one is either a complete slave (debtor) or unalloyed sovereign (creditor). There is no middle ground. All actions other than elimination of the false presumption of ownership of you leaves you still subject to the claim. Anything (such as the huge maize and light show of governments, courts and regular "law") other than the elimination of the illegitimate presumption of ownership of you.
10. The usual question asked immediately is: "Since they are criminals, what is to prevent them from disregarding your legal processes and acting against you anyway?" Some of the reasons are:

a. The Powers That Be attained their current conquest/rulership of the world after having meticulously scrutinized the law continuously over many millennia. The purpose of this was to make everything they did legal.
b. Like a coin, every aspect of manifest existence has two sides. This includes all laws, rules and regulations. If any laws are utilized in one way (such as against you by your default) they can also be used in the opposite way (such as to your advantage by your correct use of them).
c. A timeless, universal maxim of law states: "The law always provides a remedy". They must leave you a way out, or blow all cover of legitimacy and legal authority. In such case they announce that they are merely thugs and provide you with full right in law from time immemorial to self-defense. In such case, all law, including "thou shalt not kill", is suspended by the law of necessity, i.e. survival.
d. No tyrant can rule without the broad-based consent of the people. Power always has and always will reside in the people. People become slaves because they choose to give their power away rather than retain it. If a sufficient number of people in a country become aware of the truth and reclaim/assert their power, no tyrant can achieve and maintain a rulership position.
e. The laws of commerce are now inviolate and established throughout the world. Even martial law is subordinate to commercial law.

11. Once you have filed a UCC-1 Financing Statement establishing the real sovereign, you as the Secured Party have exclusive claim on your straw man. You are then "first line and first in time". You work in tandem with your straw man and no one can get to either of you. This renders you legally sovereign, free and immune from all claims and charges. 12. The reason this scenario prevails is that the world has been set up to run precisely this way. We (the slaves) were just not supposed to figure it out. Before the bankruptcy, men and women sovereigns were personally accountable for their actions in courts which were set up to accommodate disputes among sovereigns (such as the original common law in England before 1066). Now, the people's straw men, who are legally owned property of the system, are the "accountable parties" as adjudicated and enforced by the system. Such formerly sovereign men and women are now personally acceptable because they are inextricably joined (by implied contract) with their straw men. Courts today are set up to deal only with straw men. We, their unfortunate counterparts, are merely "along for the ride". A sovereign (real being) has no place in a contemporary court (commercial, dealing in artificial persons), and cannot be legally accommodated. Only if the current debt-based system of finance and government is rectified will we ever get back to a sane and just basis for resolution of disputes and a sound civilization.
 
 

VI. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS 1. Those intending to actualize this program would benefit from forming discussion/study groups. This helps with mutual understanding. True understanding of what you are doing is essential because, after all, you are the self-accountable sovereign responsible for your own actions and you must be able to substantiate in law what you are doing.
2. Make your spiritual life preeminent: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you". Or, as a great Indian sage state the matter: "Seek the highest first". This means, inter alia, to maintain your integrity and scrupulously ethical behavior. In practice, this requires that you keep your word, honor your contracts, and never depart from your principles.
Man's fundamental folly is the illusion that he can cheat moral or natural law (usually by trying to cheat others) and get away with it. Every such attempt generates inexorable cause effect consequences, all man's laws and cleverness to the contrary notwithstanding. Indeed, the entirety of our predicament is due to failure to live in harmony/accordance with moral and natural law. The current system is the cause/effect result of actualizing our own folly. Government can be accurately defined as "the aggregate irresponsibility of a people".
---------------------
Notes:
1 A difference exists between the meaning of "define" and "definition". The word "define" is precise and limiting, while "definition" is loose and malleable.
2 Sovereign: that which is preeminent among all others.
 
3 Caveat: Latin, let him beware. In general a warning or emphasis for caution.
4 Straw man: Law, a "front"; a third party who is put up in name only to take part in a transaction in name only.
5 What you do know cannot hurt you because you can use your knowledge of the truth to "set yourself free". What you do not know, however, can kill you. Ignorance is not bliss. . .it is suicide.

7 Some of the States which are readily accepting the UCC-1 filings at this writing include Oregon, Washington, Texas, Indiana, Ohio and Minnesota. Texas and Nevada have been uncooperative. The situation is in a state of flux and no one can predict the future behavior of the bureaucrats. Every Secretary of State must, by law, file your submissions. Failure to do so renders the party who refused to file your UCC-1 guilty of a criminal act and an interference with commerce, thereby making the offending party subject to prosecution in his/her personal (nonofficial) capacity.
8 No penalties or sanctions exist for submitting a filing that is not correctly executed. It is simply returned, usually with an explanation of the error so that you can correct it.
9 Ego: The "I" or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought.
10 In law, a "person" is not flesh and blood, but artificial - a creature of contract, i.e. the contractual aspect of a real being, such as a "citizen", "driver" or an "officer of a corporation".
11 The word "claim" is defined in law as "dispute over title". WHO OWNS YOU?
12 Estop: To stop, bar or impede: to prevent to preclude.
13 Ab initio: from the first act, from the beginning
14 Capacity: Ability, qualification; legal power or right.
15 Such a wholesale contract with a government is called an "adhesion contract". See Glossary. It is structured and enforced per the discretion of the stronger party (government). A citizen contracts to buy a bill of goods.
16  Holder in Due Course: the one who holds the only valid claim to something; the ultimate owner of a document of title.
17  A "certificate" of title is not title. It is a notice or statement that title exists somewhere. All innate rights are unalienable (un-a-lien-able" i.e. unable to be liened) Being that which exists possesses by its mere existence the right to be itself; and the title to that right. Presumptions to the contrary are imaginary, hypothetical and abstract. Grammatically, such presumptions should be expressed in the subjunctive case, i.e. "as if".
18  FOB: Free on board: Commercial term signifying an agreement between buyer and seller whereby the subject of the sale will be delivered to a designated place, usually either the place of shipment or the destination, at no expense to the buyer.
19 In law, there is a difference between "assent" and "consent". One may 'assent' to fraud, e.g. governments, by non-rebuttal.
One cannot 'consent' to fraud; however, because 'consent' requires actual agreement - true meeting of the minds, full disclosure and good faith..
20 Every word you utter is a commercial presentment, a straw man, if you will, and a contractual act - an offer that can either be accepted or rejected. This can result when in court and the judge asks an off-point question. By answering, you form a contract with the judge that is different than the matter which brought you into court. Ignorance of how to deal with such trickery can land you in jail.
21 Chimera: A vain or idle fancy
22 De Facto: In fact, in deed, actually. This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of
affairs, which must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate.
23 Estoppel: An admission of so conclusive a nature that the party whom it affects is not permitted to aver [declared, asset, allege] against it or offer evidence to controvert it.
24 The UCC-1 Financing Statement is the only unbreakable contract in the world. It is the ultimate foundation, the bedrock upon which the world's commerce functions.
25 House Joint Resolution 192: June 5, 1933, Public Law 73-10. Following the bankruptcy of the U.S., the government outlawed the payment of debts in gold or silver and provided only for the "discharge" of debts in "legal tender", i.e. Federal Reserve Notes, or permanently unfulfilled, irredeemable evidences of debt, private commercial scrip, "fiat" money (money by decree).
26 "Public Policy" = "Federal Reserve reinsurance policy". Every time a budget is passed by a government legislature, or assets pledged or hypothecated (which happens billions of times a day in the world), existing policies are reinsured. Commerce, existing in admiralty, is in a state of perpetual flux ever changing like waves of the ocean.
27 Monopoly: Board game paralleling banker philosophy of bankrupting all others and monopolizing all wealth.
28 Remember: "All are equal under the law", and "ignorance of the law is no excuse".
29 The movie: The Wizard of Oz, dramatized the scenario for the whole world to see in living Technicolor.
The artificial aspect of you, your straw man, has no brain; the commercial process by which the entire scenario functions, the tin man has no heart, i.e. no mercy, the biological aspect of you, the lion (king of beasts), has no courage. The result is falling for the grand illusion, a colossal "light show", projected by an ordinary man (the Wizard) from behind the scenes. How do you find the Wizard? Follow the yellow brick road. What kind of bricks are yellow? The movie screamed the message, hit us upside the head with it like a two-by-four. Follow the money trail. What is the end of the trail? The Wizard is another sovereign man just like you (only considerably more clever and unscrupulous).
