Our Forefathers CHOSE the system of Common Law based on the Law of
Moses (Ten Commandments) as the Law of the Land and they chose men to
serve as judges from among themselves in every county, state, and
region.
.
If we want to live under that system of law, we have to do the same
thing. CHOOSE to live under Common Law, form a jural assembly for our
communities as brilliantly summarized by the Michigan Jural Assembly
which has already had their Common Law System in place for decades,
elect judges to fill the vacant judicial offices, and live accordingly.
.
This is the way this country was set up and so far as I am
concerned, the way it is still supposed to run. Those who don’t want to
accept that are outlaws. Those who do are law abiding. Simple as
that.
.
We are free to accept, amend, and reject laws within that system as
every jury sees fit. That is why we have JURY NULLIFICATION built into
this whole process.
.
ANY law passed by ANY legislative body in the Common Law System can
be nullified by a body of twelve honest Americans sitting as a jury.
Such a jury can rewrite a law they find unfair or impractical or they
can utterly reject one they find unjust, vague, or unworkable.
.
Jury nullification is where the average people called to jury duty
get to enforce their will on the entire system— in Common Law, that is.
Also, in Common Law, the judge serves the people– he doesn’t tell them
what to do. He doesn’t interpret the law. The jury does that. He
listens to the arguments along with the jury, maintains fair rules of
evidence and argument, asks questions, but at the end of the day, the
JURY makes their own decision and the judge executes their sentence.
.
That is also why there is no appeal from a jury trial unless
substantial new evidence likely to have changed their reasoning comes to
light. The JURY interprets and speaks the law under Common Law and
what they decide becomes the law, no ifs, ands, or buts.
.
The judge is just a referee and servant of the court and the clerk
is just that, a clerk keeping good records of the proceedings and
testimony, evidence and filings.
.
There are other marked characteristics of Common Law that you need
to be aware of; Under Common Law, nobody can be summoned to a court
without a presentment from a Grand Jury.
.
Under Common Law, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
.
Under Common Law, there has to be an actual, identifiable injured
party— someone has to stand up and accuse you of harming them or their
own property.
.
The only exception is in the case of murder or disabling injury of a
victim, such that the injured party cannot bring suit for themselves.
.
There is no such thing as a “victimless crime” under Common Law.
.
The Judges in Common Law, (or, to use their proper name, Justices)
are not necessarily graduates of any Law School and they cannot be
members of the Bar Association, rather, they are respected members of
their community who are trusted to make fair decisions about rules of
evidence and argument and to oversee courtroom proceedings so as to
guarantee a fair trial.
.
That’s really their only function, because remember— under Common
Law — the people sitting on the jury make all the decisions. The
Justice is just there to organize things properly and impose a level
playing field for both sides to get a fair hearing of the issues.
.
This is the system that we are heir to once we clearly decide to adopt our birthright status as American State Nationals.
.
But this is NOT the system that we have been living under for the
last umpteen years, because we have all been “mistaken on purpose” as
“citizens of the United States” instead.
.
That phrase, a “citizen of the United States” means in the words of
Kitchens v. Steele, “a citizen of the federal government”. And the
federal government is defined as a corporation doing business as the
UNITED STATES.
.
Such “citizens” live under the international law of the sea, not the Common Law.
.
In their courts the judge is all-powerful and juries are rubber stamps for him.
.
The judge interprets the law in these admiralty courts, tells the
jury what to think, tells the jury what they may or may not consider as
evidence, tells the jury everything but how to wipe their noses.
.
Their courts operate just as everyone can see them operating—- as
prejudicial military tribunals where everyone is considered guilty until
proven innocent and where no constitutional guarantees apply.
.
In their courts, there are endless codes and statutes and regulatory infractions and abundant cases of victimless crimes.
.
The majority of cases in such courts never present an actual
injured party and both plaintiffs and defendants are represented by
attorneys acting as Third Parties giving hearsay evidence that would be
immediately thrown out of any Common Law court.
.
You all know or should know that you are supposed to be operating
as people on the land and not as persons on the sea. The Preamble of the
Constitution doesn’t read, “We, the Persons…..”
.
If you are going to live as free people you also have cause to know
that you have choices to make both about your political status —
“people” or “person”, Common Law or Admiralty or some other law form
entirely— and that you are then also required then to know how your
chosen system of law works.
.
You are being misidentified and mischaracterized as “citizens of
the United States” with “United States” defined as “territories and
District of Columbia” and you are being treated as “persons” because
you aren’t standing up and declaring your allegiance to your lawful
state of the Union and you aren’t filling your vacated public offices
and running your own American Common Law Courts.
.
Mulligan Ex Parte very clearly states that wherever our American
Common Law Courts are up and operating, the admiralty courts must cease
operating as military tribunals and revert to their proper place as
courts merely concerned with actual maritime contracts and other
admiralty issues.
.
These foreign international courts which are doing so much damage
to our property and our people are merely opportunists filling a gap
that we left open through ignorance. When our courts stand on the land,
their courts cannot usurp— but when we allow our Common Law Court System
to stand vacant, the cat is away and the rats can play.
.
I can hear some people asking— what do you mean, our courts are vacant? How? When? Why?
.
It’s simple, really, It happened through ignorance and pen strokes and greed.
.
The moment you incorporate anything, it leaves the jurisdiction of
the land and sets sail on the international jurisdiction of the sea. So
the simple act of incorporating a county government changes its
jurisdiction and its character and its law form.
.
It never mattered if the “federal government” acted as a
corporation because all of its duties assigned by the actual
Constitution were international in nature. They were assigned and
limited to international jurisdiction and under international law from
the start.
.
The state and county governments on the other hand, are responsible
for operating the land jurisdiction. That’s why our states and counties
are geographically defined and the reason that they all have borders.
.
But back in the 1960’s all those organizations that were entrusted
with running the state and county governments at that time were seduced
by the lure of “Federal Revenue Sharing”—- a cut of the kickbacks from
federal racketeering— into signing up as incorporated franchises of the
federal government— that is, as franchises of the federal corporation
doing business as the UNITED STATES, INC.
.
Now, just because all those organizations took the bait and
obligated themselves and incorporated themselves and agreed to act as
franchises (like Dairy Queen franchises) does NOT mean that you can’t
form your own unincorporated state and county governments to do the job
you still need done. The important word here is: “unincorporated”.
.
The land and Law of the Land and people are all part of the unincorporated Body Politic. The international
.
You have to elect Sheriffs to represent the land jurisdiction and
to enforce the actual Constitution and Organic Laws, because with the
stroke of a pen back in the 1960’s, the Sheriff of the newly
incorporated “County” became a law enforcement officer concerned with
statutes and regulations and code enforcement instead. He stopped
working for you, and started working for the local federal goverment
corporation franchise instead.
.
Your Common Law Court System which had existed since the early
1600’s disappeared, too. Why? Because the people then operating the
courts, back circa 1950 to 1965, incorporated them as part of the newly
incorporated state and county franchise operations, and thereby
converted our courts into an admiralty court system instead.
.
If you want your Common Law Court System back and functioning and
want to send these foreign admiralty courts packing, you have to set
your county and state courts up as unincorporated Jural Assemblies.
Thankfully, there have always been Americans who stayed awake.
.
The Michigan Jural Assembly organized their state and kept it
organized through thick and thin. The Nation States Project came forward
and filed its claim to Pennsylvania. The Union States Assembly kept
the fires burning on the Eastern Seaboard. In Texas, in Colorado, in
Florida, in Wisconsin, in New Mexico, in California and throughout the
land—- by Townships and Parishes and even Home Owner Associations—
Americans have kept their local governments alive and denied the
corporate interlopers any claim of “exclusive legislative jurisdiction”.
.
And now that more and more people are waking up and realizing just
how far down the tubes things have gotten without their participation,
Americans are stepping forward by the millions and doing what needs to
be done.
.
Ignorant men have raised objections to what I and Bruce Doucette
and Gary Darby and many other Americans are doing by occupying the
vacated offices and acting as judges serving the American Common Law
Court System. They think that we are somehow impersonating offices in
the admiralty court system, which is obviously and abundantly untrue.
.
They also think that we have to be members of the Bar
Associations—- when in fact we can’t be members of the Bar and serve in
any American Common Law Court office whatsoever.
.
They think that we are offering to oppress them in some way or
establish an additional unwanted or improper authority over them, but
the fact is that they have the same choice they have always had—- they
can function as “persons” and submit themselves to international
admiralty law, or they can function as “people” and submit themselves to
the law of the land.
.
We are simply choosing our traditional law form and organizing
ourselves to provide Common Law Court services for the land jurisdiction
of these United States, and thereby exercising a prerogative that has
always been ours.
.
Each one of us has the ability and responsiblity to choose our
political status and our form of law and to act accordingly. It would be
just as wrong for us to force anyone to act as one of the “people” of
these United States as it would be wrong for them to force us to act as a
“person” under international admiralty law.
.
Which is the whole point.
.
They are free to identify themselves as “citizens of the United
States” with “United States” defined as “territories and District of
Columbia”. They can operate as “persons” if they want to adopt that
status and they can incorporate federal franchise “STATES” to serve
their needs. We won’t stop them.
.
And by the same stroke, we can identify ourselves as members of the
“free, independent, and sovereign people of the United States” —– these
United States of Wisconsin, Oregon, Texas, and so on, which are the
actual organic states of the Union, and we can operate our lawful
government owed to the land jurisdiction of this country to serve our
needs.
.
Recently, there has been a flap with the ironically named “National
Liberty Alliance” and its leadership. They have ignorantly and falsely
accused us of “insurrection”. If anyone is guilty of insurrection
against these United States, it is those presently operating admiralty
courts on our soil and practicing personage-for-profit against the
people of this country.
.
We, the people, are the living, actual, factual government of the
people, for the people, and by the people. There is no such government
of the person, for the person, and by the person– a fact that those who
adopt “personhood’ should consider carefully and well.
