The Law by Frederic Bastiat

“In The Law, Bastiat says “each of us has a natural right – from God – to defend his person, his liberty, and his property”. The State is a “substitution of a common force for individual forces” to defend this right. The law becomes perverted when it is used to violate the rights of the individual, when it punishes one’s right to defend himself again a collective effort of others to legislatively enact laws which basically have the same effect of plundering.”

“Justice has precise limits but philanthropy is limitless and government can grow endlessly when that becomes its function. The resulting statism is “based on this triple hypothesis: the total inertness of mankind, the omnipotence of the law, and the infallibility of the legislator”. The relationship between the public and the legislator becomes “like the clay to the potter”. Bastiat says, “I do not dispute their right to invent social combinations, to advertise them, to advocate them, and to try them upon themselves, at their own expense and risk. But I do dispute their right to impose these plans upon us by law – by force – and to compel us to pay for them with our taxes”.

What is/are Natural Law and Natural Rights?

“The law of nature is superior in obligation to any other. It is binding in all countries and at all times. No human laws are valid if opposed to this, and all which are binding derive their authority either directly or indirectly from it.” ~ Institutes of American Law by John Bouvier, 1851, Part I, Title II, No. 9

I am a natural man/woman, defined as, “Such as are formed by nature, as distinguished from artificial persons, or corporations, formed by human laws for purposes of society and government.” Wharton. ~ A Dictionary of the Law (Black’s 1st c. 1891), pg. 802

Each of us has a natural right [a “just claim”] – from the Creator – 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 is completely dependent upon the preservation of the other two. ~ The Law by Frederic Bastiat

Natural liberty, consists in the power of acting as one thinks fit, without any restraint or control, except from the laws of nature. It is a state of exemption from the control of others, and from positive laws and the institutions of social life. ~ Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language

“The natural law is defined by Burlamaqui to be “a rule which so necessarily agrees with the nature and state of man that, without observing its maxims, the peace and happiness of society can never be preserved.” And he says “that these are called “natural laws” because a knowledge of them may be attained merely by the light of reason, from the fact of their essential agreeableness with the constitution of human nature…” ~ A Dictionary of the Law (Black’s 1st c. 1891), page 69

Strawman – The Nature of the Cage

Strawman – The Nature of the Cage takes an in-depth look at the Legal Fiction, Lawful and Legal, debt collectors and modern day Police. Offering knowledge on how to lawfully deal with any kind of authority if you haven’t broken any laws.

This is the cage we live in and only when you realise you are in one, you can set yourself free.

Your Strawman is a fictitious legal entity, created at birth through your birth certificate. This is done to dupe you later in life into thinking that you are the legal entity and not you. Then imaginary costs and penalties are imposed on the Strawman, and you, thinking you are it, pay them. Costs and penalties such as Income Tax, Council Tax, Inheritance Tax, Capital-Gains Tax, Road Tax, Import Tax, Value-Added Tax, Fuel Levy, Loan Interest’, Bank Charges and anything else that full-time professionals can think up and are confident that you will not notice that you never agreed to pay and don’t need to pay. Costs that simply don’t apply to the human you. The deception is done through the manipulation of words and language. For example a human name looks something like this: Jack: of the family Robinson or Jack Robinson. A fictitious legal entity or Strawman name looks like this: MR JACK ROBINSON. When a name is prefixed with Mr, Mrs or Miss, or capitalised, that is not you that is your Strawman. Since you are not your Strawman, you don’t have to pay its costs. You just think they are applying the costs to you because it looks like your name but your name in capitals is not you.

Did You Know You’re A Criminal?

Please note: these are FACTS, not theories. Attention “Freemen on the Land/Sovereignty guru’s, Sovereign-citizens, patriots, humanity in general etc…….

1. If you use or claim to use/own the NAME you think is yours but isn’t because it was GIVEN to the CROWN CORPORATION/church/state by your parents at birth?

2. If you claim OWNERSHIP of anything REGISTERED because ALL things/people REGISTERED are PROPERTY OF THE CROWN.

3. You are automatically deemed a thief if you claim ANYTHING/EVERYTHING that has the NAME you claim fraudulently as yours on a REGISTRATION/OWNERSHIP and why COURTS and POLICE can and will “steal” what you think are your belongings but aren’t and actually are only reclaiming what was willfully GIVEN to the CROWN, their master. A BIRTH CERTIFICATE CANNOT be used for IDENTIFICATION and ANYONE can ORDER a COPY of YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE with minimal information.

4. You are a morally and sexually depraved criminal if you carry a LICENSE of any kind. License comes from the word “Licentious” and it has proof of your FALSE IMPERSONATION NAME you claim in fraud on it.

5. The courts have YOU automatically in DISHONOUR if you claim the NAME you think is you and you become SURETY for the BOND created in that NAME called a BIRTH CERTIFICATE and you do so WILFULLY in ignorance. JOINDER/LIABILITY on YOU can only be created when YOU claim THEIR legal NAME that THEY, the CROWN owns and NO COURT can touch you if you don’t. The Name is the pin on the hand grenade that THEY are terrified of, so pull it.

6. Only BAR members (Lawyers/judges) have RIGHT of COPYRIGHT use to maintain their “honour” in the courtroom and why those claiming to be a NAME REPRESENTING “themselves” CANNOT be heard because YOU are deemed DEAD; Dead men tell no tales.

7. All bank accounts, mortgages, loans, businesses, children, MARRIAGES/DIVORCES etc. REGISTERED/CREATED in the NAME you think is you are actually PROPERTY of the CROWN and any attempt to claim them is a willful and ignorant ACT of FRAUD and all things contained within these CONTRACTS are CHURCH/STATE/CROWN PROPERTY.

8. All IDENTIFICATION created from the BIRTH CERTIFICATE NAME you think is yours is FALSE IMPERSONATION and FALSE IDENTITY using the PROPERTY of the CROWN without permission and is a CAPITAL OFFENSE. Anyone claiming to be a NON-BAR member TITLE such as a Police Officer is actually FALSE IMPERSONATION two-fold because they don’t have RIGHT OF COPYRIGHT USE like everyone else.

9. This FRAUD from the CROWN CORPORATION is EASILY dispelled and REVERSED by exposing the CROWN CORPORATION’s (owners thereof) INTENT to DECEIVE/AID AND ABET humanity into FRAUD via ignorance of these CONTRACT facts!………………..

What is Legal is Not Necessarily Lawful

That which is lawful is right, just and moral.

That which is legal is permitted by the State (conformity to the rules within a fictional jurisdiction) applied to men and women who have abandoned their freedom in return for protection (citizenship).

As is clear to see, that which is lawful is not necessarily legal. To judge what is right by whether it is legal is to work on blind faith that the State is run by honourable people. If you require a framework of legislation (pertaining to legal) to conclude right from wrong, you lack a basic grasp of morality. And someone who lacks morality can not be expected to do that which is right, e.g., Lawful.

To engage in that which is Lawful is to exercise your free will in a manner that violates no other. To engage in that which is legal without a thought to what is moral, is to entrust the unscrupulous, the self serving, the psychotic and the duplicitous (politicians) to dictate your actions, forgoing your own discernment.

To reference legislation as the source of validation in support of an action is a fallacy when government can create out of thin air any dictate it desires to fit a preexisting agenda, devoid of moral, just or righteous attributes. Obedience to the dictates of politicians does not guarantee rightful action, it does however guarantee a level of servitude.

Lawful and legal therefore are the antithesis of each other.

What your ‘NAME’ means to the judicial system

The way your name is written indicates your status under Roman, and thus Corporate Maritime Law..
There were three changes of state or condition attended with different consequences, maxima, media, and minima.
The greatest, CAPITIS DIMINUTIO MAXIMA, involved the loss of liberty, citizenship, and family (e.g. being made a slave or prisoner of war). The next change of state,
Capitis DIminutio Media, consisted of a loss of citizenship and family without any forfeiture of personal liberty.
capitis dIminutio minima, consisted of a person ceasing to belong to a particular family, without loss of liberty or citizenship.

Blacks Law Dictionary provides the following definition:

Capitis Diminutio (meaning the diminishing of status) In Roman law. A diminishing or abridgment of personality; a loss or curtailment of a man’s status or aggregate of legal attributes and qualifications.

capitis diminutio minima (meaning a minimum loss of status) – The lowest or least comprehensive degree of loss of status. This occurred where a man’s family relations alone were changed. It happened upon the arrogation [pride] of a person who had been his own master, (sui juris,) [of his own right, not under any legal disability] or upon the emancipation of one who had been under the patria potestas. [Parental authority] It left the rights of liberty and citizenship unaltered.

Capitis Diminutio Media (meaning a medium loss of status) – A lessor or medium loss of status. This occurred where a man loses his rights of citizenship, but without losing his liberty. It carried away also the family rights.

CAPITIS DIMINUTIO MAXIMA (meaning a maximum loss of status) – The highest or most comprehensive loss of status. This occurred when a man’s condition was changed from one of freedom to one of bondage, when he became a slave. It swept away with it all rights of citizenship and all family rights.

Capite. – Lat. By the head
Diminutio. Lat. In civil law. Diminution; a taking away; loss or deprivation

4 Secrets of the Legal Industry

4 Secrets of the Legal Industry

Most judgments are not merely voidable, but are in fact VOID JUDGMENTS. They can be vacated; made to go away (Although, it is an up hill battle, much like pushing a rope). Rarely has any authenticated evidence, competent fact witness, or even a claim been put before a court and on the record.

Defective affidavits, hearsay as evidence and no stated damages are but a few elements that rob the court of subject matter jurisdiction (at last count there are 22 elements that deprive the court of SMJ). Some of the elements are: denial of due process, denial of meaningful access to court, fraud upon the court, and fraud upon the court by the court.

(Although these pages are aimed primarily towards debt, credit card debt, the principals set forth herein apply to virtually all civil and criminal cases.)

Common pleas such as “open account” or “account stated” are often used in place of, and sometimes in conjunction with, breach of contract. To file under breach a contract would require that they bring in the signed contract, agreement, or note. They don’t bring in a contract, they bring in the “terms of agreement” which has no signature or persons name on it, a template that could apply to anyone.

These are just some of the tools used by debt collectors (credit card debt collectors in particular) and their counsel to perpetrate a fraud upon the court, with or without the courts cooperation or complicity.

At the same time, courts, almost as a rule, openly display a bitter and venomous hatred of pro se / pro per litigants. So don’t expect the courts to just roll over and give you what you demand without a battle. It doesn’t matter to them that you are right, it matters only that you are pro se; an inferior, low life being, and the courts have a position and the income of their brotherhood to protect. This attitude by the courts and Bar authorized attorneys tends to support the position expressed by Bill Bauer from CreditWrench.com: “There’s more value in being a pain in the arse than in being right.”

These are the four secrets:

1. Courts of general, limited, or inferior jurisdiction have no inherent judicial power.*

Courts of general, limited, or inferior jurisdiction get their jurisdiction from one source and one source only: SUFFICIENT PLEADINGS.
Someone before the court must tell the court what its jurisdiction is.
Without pleadings sufficient to empower the court to act, that court cannot have judicial capacity.
No judge has the power to determine whether he has jurisdiction. He does have the duty to tell when he does not.

….What this means to you is that no court can declare that it has the legal power to hear or decide cases, i.e. jurisdiction. Jurisdiction must be proved and on the record. Without sufficient pleadings, without jurisdiction, no court can issue a judgment that isn’t void ab initio, void from the beginning, void on its face, a nullity, without force and effect.

2. We have a common law system.

No statute, no rule, or no law means what it says as it is written.
Only the holding tells you what it means.
The statute means what the highest court of competent jurisdiction has ruled and determined that the statute means in their most recent ruling.

….What this means to you is that courts are governed/ruled by case law, what has been determined before, what the highest court of competent jurisdiction has said the law is, means. It is called the Doctrine of Precedent. This doctrine is so powerful that it can kill and has. A family in Florida has become quite familiar with this doctrine when they tried for 15 years to prevent feeding tubes from being removed from their daughter who was in a vegetative state.

3. Attorneys CANNOT testify.

Statements of counsel in brief or in argument are never facts before the court.

….What this means to you is that no attorney can state a fact before the court. This was more than adequately pointed out in 2000 when thousands of Florida ballots were taken before the U.S. Supreme Court, without even so much as one competent fact witness. Without a witness the court could not see the ballots, the ballots were not before the court, and the ballots could not be introduced as evidence.

4. Before any determination, there must be a court of complete or competent jurisdiction.

There must be two parties with capacity to be there.
There must be subject matter jurisdiction.
Appearance or testimony of a competent fact witness.

….What this means to you is that without jurisdiction, complete jurisdiction, no court can issue a judgment that isn’t void, a nullity, without force or effect, on its face and in fact.

*”The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” U.S. Const. art. III, § 1, cl. 1.

Acts, Statutes, Policies And Codes Are NOT Laws

Lawful Travel Requires No Permission

“Everyone behind the wheel of their privately traveled-in automobiles has absolutely no requirement to register their cars with the Dept. of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in ANY state, unless they are engaged in a professional driving capacity that limited to providing transportation in exchange for revenue. The only reason people do register their autos is by threat of violence by the racketeering enterprises.

Lastly, lest anyone reading this give me the worn-out argument that because of the routine hand-over to the DMV of the title documents of every new car sold by every dealership (called the Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin, or …Statement of Origin, MCO or MSO, respectively), this creates a lawful ownership of the “vehicles” by the DMV, is only valid if one accepts the notion that the DMV rightfully acquired the property for valuable consideration — which they don’t (in spite of rumor that the dealers get paid for the illegal transfer of such docs by the DMV).

Such surreptitious transfers to the DMV of the title documents of autos sold, in conspiracy with the dealers constitutes illegal conversions or theft by deception from the actual automobile buyers. Believing this scam purports to claim its rationale is due to the 1933 bankruptcy of the corporate United States, in no way subjugates the people of any state into compromising the sovereignty they inherently possess — by stealing their attempts to acquire property using one only medium of exchange permitted to circulate as money, regardless of the debt instruments they are (i.e. FRNs).” – Robyna Choleton
