A Study of the Lunatic
Fringe
He who permits himself to tell
a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and
third time,
till at length it becomes habitual;
he tells lies without attending to it, and truths
without the world's believing him.
This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart,
and in time depraves all its good dispositions.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, Aug. 19, 1785
Logic is simple, although seldom used. The elements of logic are
a major premise, a minor premise and a conclusion. Here is
an example:
Major
premise: All dogs have four legs.
Minor premise: Ruff is a dog.
Conclusion: Therefore, Ruff has four legs.
But, if either the
major or minor premise is false, so is the conclusion. For
example, this is illogical as well as false:
Major
premise: All dogs are blue in color (false).
Minor premise: Ruff is a dog.
Conclusion: Therefore, Ruff is blue in color (false).
OR
Major
premise: Man-made vehicles with two wings and jet engines
are capable of flight.
Minor premise: The Egyptian pyramids have jets and two wings
(false).
Conclusion: Therefore, the pyramids are capable of flight
(false).
In this movement
against powerful and abusive government, there are a number of
“gurus” promoting illogical and erroneous arguments. For
example, too often gurus will misquote cases or even completely
fabricate quotes from them. Years ago, a man named Victor
Varjabedian wrote a book entitled “Cracking the Code.” Therein,
he asserted that the case of “Penhallow
v. Doane’s Administrators, 3 U.S. 54; 1 L. Ed. 57; 3 Dall.
54” stated as follows:
“Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an
abstraction, and a creature of the mind only, a government
can interface only with other artificial persons. The
imaginary – having neither actuality nor substance – is
foreclosed from creating and attaining parity with the
tangible. The legal manifestation of this that no
government, as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc.
therefor can concern itself with anything other than
corporate, artificial persons and the contracts between
them.”
This language appears
nowhere in this case, and the case itself had absolutely no
relationship to the fake quote. But, lies are common.
Not only do these gurus create illogical and false arguments,
they also invent false solutions. For example, Roger
Elvick and others invented the “redemption process”, shortly
summarized as follows: (a) the US Treasury has an account for
every American with oodles of money in it as dictated by the
1935 Social Security Act; (b) to obtain possession of the funds
in these accounts, one “re-captures” his alter-ego “name in
CAPS” using UCC procedures; (c) once recaptured, one may write
“hot checks” drawn on these non-existent accounts at the US
Treasury, which can be spent on buying fancy cars, houses, trips
to the Bahamas, etc. Of course, the gurus slowed promotion of
this false solution after approximately 200 people were indicted
for following their bad advice.
Glenn Unger, using the fake name of “Dr. Sam Kennedy”, promoted
filing “Form 1099-OID tax returns”, the substance of which is
not addressed here. He also promoted “The Restore America Plan
(‘TRAP’)”, which proved to be a TRAP for him. Tim Turner
promoted filing admiralty liens against opponents as well as
filing Form 1099-OID tax returns. Both of these gurus enjoyed
the limelight for a while, but are now in the custody of the
federal Bureau of Prisons serving sentences of more than 12
years.
One currently popular argument that is really a “false cause” is
posted on the Scanned Retina website here
and here
(authored by "Fake Judge Anna"). Several of her false
contentions posted at the above link appear below in red, along with evidence
of falsity:
Claim No. 1: March
27, 1861, the actual elected Congress ceases to function.
The implication of this contention is that the constitutional
Congress permanently ended on this date, replaced by a private
corporation. But, the historical facts are far different.
Legislatures are created by constitutions that typically
establish the terms of the various legislatures. When the term
of a specific legislature ends, custom dictates that the last
act of that legislative body is to adjourn “sine die.”
This signifies the end of that particular legislature, with the
next legislature to be convened at the time set forth in the
Constitution or existing law.
Several popular but utterly baseless arguments, including this
one, make similar claims. Promoters of these arguments attempt
to make the reader believe something sinister happened in March,
1861, and Lincoln thereafter created “USA, Inc.,” in the place
of the constitutional Congress or federal government. This is
false, but those who know little or no history, or refuse to
even learn, will be deceived by these arguments.
The 36th Congress adjourned on March 3, 1861 because, at least
for the House of Representatives, the terms of all House members
had expired. President Buchanan, sensing the newly elected
Lincoln might need help regarding events of that time, in
February of that year called a special session of the Senate for
March
4, 1861, inauguration day. On this day, the Senate
assembled, then recessed to attend Lincoln’s inauguration, after
which it reconvened.
At the time all of this happened, 7 states had already seceded
from the Union. Three senators from the seceded states attended
– 1 from South Carolina and 2 from Texas. Seven other senators
from states still in the Union did not attend, including both
senators from Kansas, the most recently admitted state.
There were 34 states then in the Union, for a total of 68
senators, and a quorum required 35 senators (including the
seceded states in the calculation). Subtracting 14 senators from
the seceding states and 7 others who didn't attend, but adding 3
others, a total of 50 senators attended the first day of the
session, which was clearly a quorum.
But, only the Senate was in session and it could do nothing
other than adopt resolutions and exercise other unique powers,
like consent to appointments and ratify treaties.
Nobody walked out. Over the course of the four weeks that the
Senate was in session, some members went home because they had
other business needing attention. Congress was then a part-time
legislature and typically only met for three months a year, from
December through February.
By March 27, the Senate was still waiting for Lincoln to
communicate some message or directive to it. One senator from
Oregon joked that he was going to go home and that the
Sergeant-at-Arms could come and get him if he wished, but it
would be a pointless exercise.
On March 27, the senators were trying to adjourn for the day.
Because senators were leaving the chamber and returning on their
own whim, the vote to adjourn lacked a quorum. There was
interest in adjourning to the next day. The discussion concerned
whether to convene at 11:00 AM or 1:00 PM. A standing rule set
on the first day (March 4) of the session was to convene at 1:00
PM each day, so changing to 11:00 AM was out of order without a
quorum. Some argued that they could adjourn without a quorum, if
they set no time to reconvene – in other words, sine die.
One senator pointed out that it was silly to require a quorum to
adjourn because they could be sitting there for months waiting
for a quorum to appear. In the end, they took a recess until the
next day, a fine point of procedure. At the end of March
28, they adjourned the special session.
The entire sine die argument is a blatant lie because
the Constitution sets the day on which the Congress shall
convene and gives the President and the chamber leaders the
power to call them into session at other times.
After the 36th Congress adjourned, the 37th Congress, 1st
Session, started on July
4, 1861.
That Congress was passing laws soon after first meeting.
The laws enacted by the 36th Congress, and the 37th
Congress, 1st Session, are published in 12 Stat. Simply looking
at the table
of contents for this volume reveals that both Congresses
were in session and enacting laws. The contention that Congress
died in 1861 is simply more mythology emanating from folks with
sinister motives.
Claim 2. Lincoln creates a corporation doing
business as “The United States of America” and uses what is
left of the Congress as a Board of Directors. March 27, 1861,
the actual elected Congress ceases to function.
The above shows that
the 36th Congress terminated as a matter of law, and the 37th
Congress convened thereafter, again pursuant to constitutional
provisions. The implication that Congress “died” as a
constitutional institution because one Congress ended is utterly
false as every Congress constitutionally does end, and another
one convenes thereafter. And the claim that Lincoln created a
corporation named “The United States of America” is just simply
a fabrication unsupported by any provable fact. In other words,
this contention is another blatant lie.
Where is the proof that Lincoln created some corporation?
Claim 3. This “Corporate Congress” changes the
meaning of the word “person” to mean “corporation” for their
own private in-house corporate purposes. (37th Congress,
Second Session, Chapter 49, Section 68).
The old U.S. Statutes
at Large had a method of citation during the War of Northern
Aggression that is different from today. While today we have
sequentially numbered "Public Law numbers", back then "chapter
numbers" were used instead. As each law was enacted, it was
simply given a "chapter" number, sequentially numbered. Thus,
the citation for the above law, 37th Congress, Second Session,
chapter 49, is easy to find and it is 12
Stat. 374.
This law was titled “An act to secure to the Officers and Men
actually employed in the Western Department or Department of
Missouri their Pay, Bounty, and Pension.” It is less than a
single page, has only 3 sections, and has no section 68 defining
the word “person.” This claim is just a blatant lie.
Claim 4. The Corporate Congress changes the
meaning of more words— according to them, the meaning of the
words “state”, “State” and “United States” all magically mean
“the territories and the District of Columbia” (13 Stat. 223,
306, ch. 173, sec. 182, June 30, 1864.)
At the start of the
War of Northern Aggression, there were 34 States in this
American Union, but during the war, West Virginia was carved
from Virginia, making the total number of States be 35. But,
there were a number of territories, all subject to direct
legislative authority of Congress. Further, since territories
are legally outside the United States, the Constitution does not
really apply in them, at least the Constitution’s restrictions
regarding the imposition of direct and indirect taxes.
The act referenced above, 13
Stat. 223, ch. 173, was titled “An Act to provide Internal
Revenue to support the Government, to pay Interest on the Public
Debt, and for other Purposes”. It imposed a variety of
taxes: alcoholic
beverages, licenses,
articles,
auctions
and brokers, livestock,
transportation,
banks,
income,
estates, and others. It also imposed some stamp
taxes.
This revenue act’s first page was 13 Stat. 223. Section 182, at
the very end of this 83 page act, provided a statutory
definition of the word “state”; see 13
Stat. 306. The word “state” appeared a number of times in
this act, both as a verb and a noun. To assist in performing
word searches, a searchable version of this act is posted here.
Since this act was to be administered inside the “states,” a
number of its provisions referenced “states.” For example,
section 78 provided as follows:
“SEC.
78. And be it further enacted, That no license
hereinbefore provided for shall, if granted, be held, or
construed to exempt any person carrying on the trade,
business, or profession specified in said license from any
penalty or punishment provided by the laws of any state for carrying on such trade,
business, or profession, within such state,
or in any manner to authorize the commencement or continuance
of such trade, business, or profession, contrary to the laws
of such state, or in places
prohibited by municipal law; nor shall any such license be
held or construed to prevent or prohibit any state from placing a duty or tax for
state or other purposes on any
trade, business, or profession, for which a license is
required by this act; nor shall any person carrying on any
trade, business, or profession, for which a license is
required by this act, be exempted from procuring such license,
or from any penalty or punishment herein provided by, or in
consequence of, any state law
either authorising or prohibiting such trade, business, or
profession.”
But, this act also
applied in the territories and Washington, D.C. All that the
statutory definition of “state” contained in section 182
accomplished was to include the territories and D.C. in the
definition of the word “state.” To claim that this definition
affected the status of citizens and made them citizens of the
District of Columbia is to practice deceit and trickery. It is
surely dishonest.
Claim 5. These “special definitions” adopted
by “a” Congress operating a private, for-profit corporation
doing business as “The United States of America” then secretly
allowed the rats to “presume” that anyone who used the common
meaning of these words and admitted to living in a “state” or
the “United States” was submitting to be considered and
treated as a “citizen” of the District of Columbia, instead.
In their secretively altered lexicon, “United States Citizen =
District of Columbia Citizen”.
This contention is
lunacy. This definition only described the areas where that tax
act applied, and had nothing to do with citizens or their
status. But lies like this certainly deceive the gullible and
ill-informed.
Claim 6. And as anyone reading The
Constitution can see, this meant submitting to the rule of
“Congress” which was given plenary control of the District
of Columbia. Via the use of semantic deceit a small group of
venal criminals “redefined” our Republic as a plenary
oligarchy run by none other than themselves. They also
endeavored to redefine all the freeborn Americans as slaves
belonging to the District of Columbia. Never mind that the
“Congress” engaging in this fraud and merely pretending to
be the lawfully elected Congress had absolutely no public
office and no delegated authority.
Again, this assertion is lunacy. Will those promoting
this argument prove it?
Claim 7. What happened with all this fraud by
a hundred years later? The Congressional Record, June 13,
1967, pp. 15641-15646 – “A ‘citizen of the United States is a
civilly dead entity operating as a co-trustee and
co-beneficiary of the PCT, the private constructive, cestui que trust of US
Inc. under the 14th Amendment, which upholds the debt of the
USA and US Inc. in Section 4.”
This claim contains an
alleged quote from the Congressional Record of June 13, 1967,
and those specific pages are available here.
This quote appears nowhere on these or any other pages of the
Congressional Record. This claim is just a blatant fabrication.
The Fake Judge also has posted another fabricated historical
timeline on the Scanned Retina website here.
Below is an analysis of several of her contentions, set forth in
red.
Claim 4. 1783: The Treaty
of Paris and Treaty of Versailles cements this arrangement
splitting the land and sea jurisdictions between the States
and the Federal Union and places King George III as Trustee
of American interests on the “High Seas and Navigable Inland
Waterways” — which means he kept control of American
international commerce. The new “Union” entity operating in
the international Jurisdiction of the sea was always
controlled by the British and it has always been the British
Monarch’s responsibility as International Trustee to manage
it and guarantee its proper operation. It has instead run
amok for 150 years.
The Treaty of Peace (or Paris as she states), 8
Stat. 80, is entirely different from what is falsely
claimed by the “judge.” In the treaty, the English King
expressly relinquished ALL claims he had regarding the new
American States, and both
English and American courts have expressly so held. The
idea that as a result of this treaty the King was some sort of
trustee for American rivers or seas and controlled them is
unmitigated hogwash!! The same conclusion applies to the
erroneous contention that the New Union operated only on the
seas.
Why did she mention the Treaty
of Versailles?
Claim 5. 1787: The Supreme
Perfected Republican Declaration of the United Colonies
creates the National Trust owed the Continental United
States.
History fails to reveal any document named the "Supreme
Perfected Republican Declaration of the United Colonies." A
trust is a simple legal entity, having 3 elements: (1) the
property in the trust (the "res"); (2) a trustee who holds legal
title to the property for the benefit of the "beneficiary"; and
(3) the beneficiary who holds the beneficial title. A trust can
only be created in 2 different ways: (a) in writing, or (b)
orally, which would depend on the testimony of witnesses to
prove its existence.
The problem that confronts the "fake judge" regarding this trust
theory is that she has no witnesses or document in writing.
Thus, the idea that some trusts were created prior to or in 1787
as alleged is pure fabrication.
Claim 6. 1789: Two years
later, “The Constitution for the united States of America”
splits off the sea jurisdiction and creates the new Federal
United States. A year later (1790) the Federal United
States forms a commercial company doing business as the
United States (Commercial Company) to provide the nineteen
enumerated services agreed to by the subscribing States.
Where precisely in the U.S. Constitution is there anything that
concerns a split of the "sea jurisdiction"? Furthermore, it is
contended that the "Commercial Company" agreed to provide
"enumerated services" to the "subscribing States", and clearly
to do so would involve work for many years, and certainly more
than one.
At common law, every obligation requiring the performance of
services for more than a year was required to be evidenced by a
writing subscribed by the "party to be charged," and this common
law rule is today memorialized by duly enacted "statutes of
frauds" in every state of this Union. For example, the
general Alaska statute of frauds is found at Alaska Statutes § 09.25.010,
and Alabama's is in Alabama Code § 8-9-2.
These laws provide that every "agreement which, by its terms, is
not to be performed within one year from the making thereof"
must be memorialized by some written document, signed by the
party to be charged. There is no written agreement that the fake
judge can produce regarding this alleged services contract. This
claim, too, is pure fabrication.
Claim 7. 1812-1814: The
British try to horn in again and are beaten back. This
skirmish results in the Treaty of Ghent, where the British
interests in American shipping and commerce are reaffirmed
and lasting peace is promised in return.
The Treaty of Ghent, 8
Stat. 218, ended the War of 1812, and this treaty is still
in force. See Treaties
in Force. Nothing in this treaty provides that the Brits
have any interest in American shipping or commerce. This
contention is just another lie.
Claim 8. 1845: The British
Monarch and Pope secretly agree to undermine the American
System of government via the Treaty of Verona. The
British Monarch breaches the Treaty of Ghent and both the
Pope and the King secretly breach their trust as
International Trustees. They set out on a covert
action and issued Letters of Marque and Reprisal to the
members of the Bar Associations, allowing them to act as
Foreign Agents on American soil and as privateers free to
plunder American commerce.
The Treaty
of Verona expressly dealt only with Europe, and not
America. If this treaty was in fact genuine and not the
fabrication of some European newspaper, it sought to protect the
then existing monarchies in Europe, who were fearful of
Napoleon. But, here in America, the Monroe Doctrine was in
effect. This treaty obviously failed to achieve its purpose
because there have not been monarchies in the major European
countries for a long time.
In 1845, there were no bar associations in America, the first
being formed 23 years later. As noted here,
“The Galveston Bar Association was organized in 1868; the
‘Association of the Bar of the City of New York’ in 1870; and
the Bar Association of St. Louis in 1874. In 1874 (May 14) was
also formed the Iowa State Bar Association, followed in 1875
(June 2) by the Connecticut State Bar Association.” The American
Bar Association was formed
in 1878, and most American lawyers today are not members
of that voluntary membership association. The Alabama State Bar
was created by the Alabama legislature in 1923. Bar
Associations are historically relatively new. How did the
British Monarch grants "letters of Marque and Reprisal" to
organizations that did not exist?
Claim 9. 1860: Thanks to
the efforts of the Bar Associations a member of the Bar,
Abraham Lincoln, is elected to serve as President.
Note that he is ineligible serve as President of the united
States of America, by the Titles of Nobility Amendment to
the actual Constitution— but is eligible to serve as
President of the United States (Commercial Company). This is
the same situation we have with Barack Obama who is
ineligible to serve as President of the United States of
America, but is able to serve as President of the United
States (Incorporated).
There were no bar associations in America prior to the War of
Northern Aggression. See here
and below for information regarding the alleged missing 13th
Amendment. Crackpots who knowingly and willfully fabricate legal
arguments know that their fraud will be detected by
lawyers.
Claim 10. 1861: The Civil
War begins. Congress adjourns for lack of quorum and
without a date to reconvene. Lincoln organizes a Delaware
Corporation and the remaining members of Congress begin
functioning as a Board of Directors.
As show above, the “Congress adjourned sine die” is a
completely false contention. If Lincoln formed a Delaware
corporation, surely the Delaware Secretary of State would have
some records regarding this, but there are no such
records.
Claim 11. 1862: The
“Corporate Congress”—a body of men no different than the
Board of Directors of IBM, change the meaning of a single
word —only and explicitly for use within their
corporation. That word is “person”. From then on
the word “person” is deemed to mean “corporation” for
federal government purposes. (37th “Congress”– Second
Session, Chapter 49, Section 68.)
This false argument
has been addressed above.
Claim 12. 1863: Lincoln
signs the Lieber Code as Commander in Chief and puts the
Union Army, the Grand Army of the Republic, in charge of the
nation’s future and money supply. A day later, he
bankrupts the original United States (Commercial Company).
The Lieber Code
was never law because Congress never adopted it, and it applied
solely to the armies of the North. By its own terms, it applied
only during war. In Ex
parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2 (1866), the Supreme Court held
that martial law could only apply in the area of actual combat
where two armies were fighting; if there are no "armies in the
field" and the courts are open, martial law does not have any
effect.
The Grand
Army of the Republic did not exist in 1863, and it was
created as a fraternal association in 1866.
Claim 13. 1865: Lee’s Army
surrenders to Grant and a general armistice is declared. The
Southern States are in ruins and under military occupation
by the Union. The original Northern States are bankrupt.
Foreign banks are in control of the new “United States of
America, Inc.” and the Union Army reigns supreme. Over the
next two years President Andrew Johnson will three times
publicly declare peace on the land jurisdiction of the
Continental United States, but peace is never declared in
the international Jurisdiction of the Sea controlled by the
Federal United States under the trusteeship of the British
Monarch.
The St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank has posted all of the old Annual Reports
of the Secretary of the Treasury, and they are easy to
download. Lots of gurus make claims regarding the financial
condition of the federal government, but never buttress their
claims with any proof. Why don't they examine the Annual Reports
of the Treasury Secretary?
Claim 14. 1868: The
Corporate Congress writes itself a new Corporate
Constitution, called “the Constitution of the United States
of America” and palms off this look-alike, sound-alike
private corporate document “as if” it were the actual
Constitution. This is fraud on many
levels. The Constitution of the United States of
America purposefully sought to confuse and delude people
into thinking it was the actual Equity Contract obligating
the States to receive services and subrogate their
international jurisdiction to the federal government.
This is pure fabrication, fodder for the gullible.
Claim 15. 1871: The
Corporate Congress begins to set up shop for itself by
creating a separate government for the District of
Columbia. The initial effort fails but seven years
later the Washington DC Municipality is created as an
independent international city state run as a plenary
oligarchy by the members of “Congress”. Also in
1871, the Corporate Congress claimed to own all United
States corporations— 41st “Congress”– Third Session,
Chapters 62, 63, 64, and 65.
This is that old, utterly baseless “Act of 1871" argument,
addressed here.
The fake judge also claims that 4 laws enacted by the 41st
Congress, chaps. 62, 63, 64 and 65, asserted ownership of all
corporations. Those laws may be read here: ch. 62: 16
Stat. 419 ("The Act of 1871"); ch. 63: 16
Stat. 429; ch. 64: 16
Stat. 429; ch. 65: 16
Stat. 429. It appears that she just copied the top of page
429 when she wanted to reference some "legal" authority for her
wild and baseless contentions.
Claim 16. 1874-1885: All
the actual States on the land are reorganized and at the
same time completely new “Federal States” are created and
new “State Constitutions” are written for them. The
original States on the land are renamed in this process. The
original State of Ohio operating the land jurisdiction
became the Ohio State, while the usurping “Federal State”—
merely a corporate franchise of the United States of
America, Inc. operating in the international Jurisdiction of
the Sea—took over the name “State of Ohio”.
The contention that “Federal States” were created is unmitigated
hogwash. She uses as an example the State of Ohio, but the
current constitution
for Ohio was adopted in 1851. A website with a list of all
of the State Constitutions (and links to relevant authority) is
posted
here on Wikipedia.
Claim 17. 1900-1904: Still
lusting after more power for itself, the Corporate Congress
set up a second shop for itself and obtained permission to
do it from the Supreme Court in a series of cases known as
The Insular Tariff Cases. As with setting up the
Washington DC Municipality as a foreign city-state on our
shores and running it as their own little oligarchy, the
“Congress” now took the “federal territories and
possessions” and made a new “union” of “American states”—
Puerto Rico, Guam, et alia—and began calling it “the United
States of America (Minor)”. They just forgot to add the (Minor) part of
the name from then on, and let people assume that all the
repugnant laws they passed governing this “Constitutional
Democracy” also applied to the Continental United States.
When the Constitution
was adopted, several States like Virginia claimed large tracts
of land extending to the Mississippi River. These States
transferred their "western lands" to the federal government,
from which territories were created. Georgia transferred her
claims to her western lands, resulting in the creation of the Mississippi
territory, from which the territories of Alabama
and Mississippi were created. Mississippi was admitted
into the Union as a State in 1817 and Alabama was admitted
into the Union as a State in 1819.
America's "manifest destiny" was achieved via the Louisiana
Purchase and the further conquest of the American West, the
details of which are omitted here. During this time, Congress
enacted laws for the government of the territories that were
codified in Title
22 of the 1873 Revised Statutes. Today, those laws that
remain regarding the "territory of the United States" are
codified in Title
48, U.S. Code.
The territorial laws are clear regarding where they
applied.
Claim 18. 1912-1913: A
private association of European and American banks calling
themselves “The Federal Reserve” bought the governmental
services corporation known as “The United States of America,
Inc.” and its “State” franchises as a business venture, and
began operating such familiar agencies as The United States
Department of Agriculture and The United States Department
of Transportation as private, for-profit businesses—without
telling anyone. They exercised the “government powers” they
didn’t really possess in a vast fraud scheme in collusion
with members of “Congress” to institute a fiat monetary
system and misused their position of trust to put
competitors out of business, set up monopolies, rig
commodity markets, and commit other acts of blatant
self-interested criminality and fraud.
The federal Department of Agriculture was created by a specific
act of Congress on May 15, 1862, 12
Stat. 387. The Department of Transportation was
established by an act of Congress on October 15, 1966, 80
Stat. 931. Apparently, those bankers were defrauded when
they "bought" an agency that was not created until some 54 years
later. Can we please view and read the written bills of sale for
these agencies?
Birth
Certificates
The difference between a citizen and an alien is legally
significant, and having a government document proving that one
is a “natural born citizen”, a criteria for becoming Prez of the
US of A, is thus beneficial for many reasons. This is one of the
reasons that states collect birth certificates as public
records. If needed for any reason, including legal
proceedings, one may obtain a certified copy of that public
record from the public official having possession of that
“public record.”
Contrary to popular mythology, birth certificates or
certificates of live birth have no value as “commercial
instruments” or securities, and no market exists where they are
bought and sold, by big international banks or otherwise.
Nonetheless, con-artists exist who promote to the weak-minded
this flaky idea, such as the thief who operates this website. Why would anyone
want to sell his birth certificate, which has value only to
identity thieves?
Fake Judge Anna is a purveyor of this legal trash. In a recent
email from her, she claimed that she was personally present when
Prez Jimmy Carter delivered all American birth certificates to
the possession and custody of the United Nations. This is a
palpable lie from this chronic liar: the UN does not provide
certified copies of birth certificates, and it is state agencies
that do so because they possess these public records. Contrary
to the lies of the fake judge, the UN does not possess birth
certificates or similar “public records.”
More
Nonsense
Here are some more statements of the fake judge:
Even the Uniform Commercial Code which was
developed by the Curia as a just means to resolve the many
international disputes and claims arising from the 1930
bankruptcies of the G-5 nations is copyrighted by Unidroit,
a subsidiary of the Vatican.
The UCC was not
created by the Roman Catholic Church's Curia. The history of the
creation of the UCC is here.
It applies only in the States of this American Union. For many
years, gurus have used all sorts of wild UCC arguments to
deceive many.
The fundamental theory that the fake judge promotes is
summarized in her own words as follows:
There are three international Trustees named
as caretakers of The United States Trust (1789).
They are the Pope, in His Temporal
Office, the British Monarch, and The United States
Postmaster (Civil).
This is lunacy.
She claims we are all trusts, represented by "names in CAPS":
The JOHN QUINCY ADAMS ESTATE is a trust, a
legal fiction entity, a corporation.
The old "names
in CAPS" argument has been around a long time, but it has
no substance.
One of the "judges" in the fake judge's group was Steve Curry,
who apparently is now in jail, having been convicted for fraud
in the sale
of fake meteorites.
The
Vatican, English and Spanish Monarchies
Fake Judge Anna also claims in her comic
book that there are three trusts that control the whole
world: one under the control of the Pope, another by the English
Crown and another by the Spanish monarch. What she omits is any
mention of what has been decided by the American and English
courts: no country in this world outside the United States of
America has any legal authority here. See this treatment
regarding the 1213
Concession.
"Everything
is Admiralty!!"
For too many years, various gurus have promoted the utterly
baseless lie that all or most legal proceedings in any court in
this country are really admiralty proceedings. One of the
fake judge's followers wrote:
Anna is
quite correct in her analysis of our current situation. An
astute observer might question as to how the Federal govt. can
enforce the Law of the Sea here on the land. That fete was
accomplished by having the U.S. Coast Guard survey the entire
continental united States in 1938 [coincides with some
important Supreme Court decisions] and designating the top of
Pikes Peak as the high water mark. Now they can fictitiously
operate Maritime/Admiralty courts on the land although you
will never find a judge who will admit to that.
Contrary to this
mythology, a proceeding in admiralty must have some relationship
to commerce on this high seas or navigable waters, as explained
here.
If you encounter an admiralty advocate, consider him as
suffering from delusions.
The
Geneva Conventions
In another
article, she claims:
The Joint Chiefs of Staff stand notified that
they are obligated under the Geneva Convention Protocols of
1949 as well as The Constitution for the united States of
America to come to the aid and assistance of the civilian
populace of the Continental United States and to protect the
civilian population and its assets at all costs and to
prosecute those who have willingly violated Volume II, Article
3, of the Geneva Convention Protocols seeking to change the
birthright citizenship and nationality of American State
Citizens of the Continental United States by fraud, force, and
coercion.
In another article,
she further claims:
At the Geneva Conventions of 1930 the G5
nations all declared bankruptcy by international treaty. The
American representative at the Convention that year was
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Three years later, having been
elected President of the United States of America,
Incorporated, he declared domestic bankruptcy as well.
The Geneva
Convention of 1949 relates exclusively to matters of war.
The only treaty that could possibly match the referenced
Convention of 1930 is the Convention
Providing a Uniform Law For Bills of Exchange and Promissory
Notes.
Trading
With the Enemy Act
During war, enemies often enact laws to seize the assets of
their opponent that are within their reach inside their
jurisdictions. When WWI started and the US entered that war,
Congress enacted the Trading With the Enemy Act (“TWE”) to do
just that. However, the act itself expressly excluded citizens
from being defined as either the “enemy” or an “ally of an
enemy.” In March, 1933, TWE was amended to allow asset seizures
during emergencies, but the express definitions in that act did
not change the definitions of “enemy” or an “ally of an enemy”
to include citizens. This remains the condition of TWE today and
citizens are not defined as an “enemy” or an “ally of an
enemy.”
A popular argument circulates otherwise, and it asserts that
citizens were made “enemies” by the amendment in 1933. At this link,
there is a PDF image of the definitions of “enemy” and an “ally
of an enemy” as contained in the original TWE, 40 Stat. 411.
This PDF also contains the whole 1933 act, 48 Stat. 1, which
demonstrates that the original definitions of “enemy” and “ally
of an enemy” were not changed via that amendment. Finally,
the last 2 pages show that the original definitions in the TWE
of 1917 remain the same today. This shows that the
statutory definitions of "enemy" and "ally of enemy" have always
excluded citizens. Websites like USA
the Republic err when they promote strings of false facts.
The
Bankruptcy
In another article,
she claims:
The United States defined as “…the District of
Columbia et alia” went “Bankrupt” in 1933 and was declared so
by President Roosevelt in Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111,
and finally, as consolidated in Executive Order 6260.
Here are those
Executive Orders: EO 6073
EO 6102
EO 6111
EO 6260
A bankruptcy is a simple matter to understand. The
debtor's assets are collected by a duly appointed trustee and
sold in the open market. The proceeds from the sale of assets
are used to pay all creditors. How people can claim that the
events in 1933 are really some bankruptcy is difficult to
understand. They claim the United States was bankrupt. But
assets of the United States were not seized, it was gold that
was the subject of seizures. Can somebody please explain
how the seizure of property (gold) from others and the delivery
of that gold to the possession of the United States evidences
some mysterious bankruptcy?
The
Missing 13th Amendment
This argument is promoted by lots of gurus and is
addressed more fully here.
A major flaw regarding this argument is that the only nobles are
"dukes,
marqises, earls, viscounts and barons". An excellent
article regarding this issue is posted here;
this is a large file and may take a few minutes to download.
Another great analysis of this baseless argument is posted on Jol
Silversmith's website.
Nationals
In Piqua Bank v. Knoup, 6 Ohio St.
342, 393 (Ohio 1856), that court defined a national government
and contrasted it with a federal government: “A national
government is a government of the people of a single state or
nation, united as a community by what is termed the ‘social
compact,’ and possessing complete and perfect supremacy over
persons and things, so far as they can be made the lawful
objects of civil government. A federal government is
distinguished from a national government by its being the
government of a community of independent and sovereign states,
united by compact.” Black’s Law Dictionary quotes this case in
its definition of national government. The Government of
the United States is a federal government.
But while many may understand this difference
between national and federal government, even fewer
understand, in reference to human beings, who is a “national”
of the United States. This short memo constitutes an
introduction to this topic.
In the late 1800s, the United States was
beginning to assert power over islands not contiguous to this
country. Then, Hawaii was conquered and made a
territory. With time, the same thing happened with the Virgin
Islands, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Swain's Island, Guam,
the Northern Marianas, and similar places. Congress began
referring to citizens of those islands as persons owing a duty
of allegiance to the United States or obedience to its laws;
see 28
Stat. 64, 32
Stat. 694.
Eventually in the first few decades of the 20th
century, a name for these people was developed: a national.
Examples of this name for these persons can be easily seen
from a variety of pages appearing in the U.S. Statutes at
Large:
Inherently, “national” means a citizen of the
insular possessions. One definition of this word appears in 24
C.F.R. § 5.504, which states: “National means a person
who owes permanent allegiance to the United States, for
example, as a result of birth in a United States territory or
possession.” In § 871-24.60 (96) of the Iowa Administrative
Code, “A national is defined as a person who lives in mandates
or trust territories administered by the United States and
owes permanent allegiance to the United States. An alien is a
person owing allegiance to another country or government.” In
Washington Administrative Code § 388-424-0001, this word is
defined as “a person who owes permanent allegiance to the U.S.
and may enter and work in the U.S. without restriction. The
following are the only persons classified as U.S. nationals:
(1) Persons born in American Samoa or Swain's Island after
December 24, 1952; and (2) Residents of the Northern Mariana
Islands who did not elect to become U.S. citizens.”
Often, Congress uses in legislation the phrase
“citizen or national of the United States”. When this word
appears in this context without definition, it means a citizen
of the insular possessions. But just as often when a federal
law encompasses a citizen or national, that act may provide a
specific definition. Such act may define a U.S. Person, or
Citizen, as being a “citizen or national”, and in this event,
the defined word encompasses a citizen or national.
