we also will have granted the ISA the right to regulate our transfers of military technology, even the right to determine in what situations our Navy can stop a vessel.

It would be a liberal's wet dream for the U.S. to have to kowtow to an unelected body of appointees from banana republics run by tin pot dictators every time they felt the need to stop a boat full of illegals trying to sneak in to the country.

Government officials and judges adamantly refuse requests to remove the gold fringed flag and replace it with the constitutional flag of the United States as defined in 4 U.S.C. Section 1,2, and 3 - which has NO fringe.

Admiralty and Maritime, Military Law

The Law of Pirates, The Law of the "Other United States" the corporation.....

The Territorial (District) United States operates under absolutist "Military and Maritime Law. Originally, this law was only applicable on the open seas and waterways, but it was brought inland for the subject citizens of the Possessions, Territories and ceded lands Belonging to the United States.

According to U.S. Code. Title 18 § 7. Admiralty Jurisdiction is applicable to the following areas:

1. The High Seas
2. Any American Ship
3. Any lands reserved or acquired for the use of the United States, and under the exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction thereof, or any place purchased or otherwise acquired by the United States by consent of the legislature of the state......

The following information is taken from 34 Opin Atty Gen, pg 34 (Opinions of the Attorney General) under the category of "The President," the flag is discussed as follows:

"The only statute now in force which defines the flag or regulates its design is the Act of April 4, 1818, Chapter 34 (3 Stat, 415), reenacted as sections 1791 and 1792 if of the revised statutes of the United States. Section 1791 provides that, " the flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white, and the union of the flag shall be thirty-seven stars, white in blue field."

Section 1792 provides that "on the admission of a new State into the union one star shall be added to the union of the flag., and such addition shall take effect on the fourth day of July then next succeeding such admission."

Note that there is no statutory authority for the "yellow fringe around the flag."

The use of such a fringe is prescribed in current Army regulations, No. 260-10 The yellow fringed flag is therefore , a "Military Flag".

Under the Admiralty Law of Flags (12 C.J.S. § 12), a ship owner gives notice, by his flag, to all who enter that he intends that the law of the flag will regulate. The person entering into agreements therein , must either submit to the law of that flag or not contract..If you've ever left a courtroom feeling that you had been to a court martial rather than a court of law this is the reason...Don't be deceived by the pretty yellow fringe, it is your warning that you have submitted yourself to the rule of the master, and are under the jurisdiction of that flag. If you enter a courtroom and enter a plea in the presence of a military flag, you have acquiesced (consented without protest) to the federal military jurisdiction. It is your warning that you are leaving the majority of your fundamental rights, as protected by the Constitutional at the door.

"It is an elementary rule of pleading, that a plea to the jurisdiction is.. a tactic admission that the court has a right to judge in the case, and is a waiver to all exceptions to the jurisdiction."......Court case (Girty v. Logan, 6 Bush Ky. 8)

Always challenge the jurisdiction of a court. These courts rule on "Public Policy" rather than the Law, and can only decide whether or not proper legislative procedures were adhered to......

JOHN J. DOE......your name in all capital letters....What does it mean? Law about Nom De Guerre ( War Name ) is in the Public Laws of the Seventy Third Congress Of The United States ... 1933...........

More about your Name go to Your Name

Read the following court cases

(Burks v. Lasker, 441 US 471)& (U.S v. Grimaud 220 US 506) The issue of Jurisdiction.You will learn that when jurisdiction is not squarely challenged it is presumed to exist...In the courts there is no meaningful opportunity to challenge jurisdiction, as the court merely proceeds summarily. However once jurisdiction has been challenged in the courts, it becomes the responsibility of the plaintiff to assert and prove said jurisdiction..(Hagans v. Lavine, 415 US 533) as mere good faith assertions of power have been abolished.(Owens v. City of Independence, 100 SCt, 1398, 1980)

They must prove that you agreed in a lawful contract to be subject to their corporate statutes...This works for all statues when their has been no damaged party, no damaged property or person no crime committed......as set forth under the common law.....reserving your rights under the Uniform Commercial Code.... UCC 1-207 without prejudice....is very important, you must understand its meaning. and use it at all times when you sign your name on any and all documents..

It states ("The sufficiency of the Reservation: any expression indicating an intention to reserve rights is sufficient, such as"without prejudice" UCC 1.207.4) and

(" The making of a valid Reservation of Rights preserves whatever rights the person then possesses, and prevents the loss of such rights by application of concepts of waiver or estoppel,"UCC 1-207.7) and

( "When a waiveable right or claim is involved, the failure to make a reservation thereof, causes a loss of the right, and bars its assertion at a later date."UCC 1-207.9.....)

UCC 1-103.6 "The Code is complementary to the Common Law, which remains in force, except where displaced by the code. A statute should be contrued in harmony with the Common Law , unless there is a clear legislative intent to abrogate the Common Law."

....The UCC is what they must abide by...All States signed under the UCC...If they choose to ignore it... you can SUE any government official for violating your rights guaranteed under the UCC...

Lawyers cant do for you in a court of law that you can do for yourself.. They have restrictions... For they would risk losing their status of being able to practice law...

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." Benjamin Franklin, 1759

"For in a Republic, who is 'the country?' Is it the Government, which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant - merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them." - Mark Twain

Who benuifits from LOST as an American and what is so good about this new control from the UN.


What more lawyers?

International Seabed Authority

International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea

Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf

I guess the LOST question was lost during the debates.

They keep pushing and pushing these treatys and eventually one will slip through. I recall sending an email back in the spring to stop ratification. The proposal stalled in Senate recess, but likely will be revived for debate.
We have to keep up the pressure against LOST and Kyoto to protect our sovergnity!!!! Thanks for the update!
