Common Law is a real thing. It is a real system of laws derived from centuries of work, study and sacrifice of millions of people. It is not trivial and inconsequential as some would have you think. It is the Common Law that is most represented within Our Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Our Bill of Rights. These documents were designed to limit and eliminate the vicious Equity, Maritime or Admiralty Law which was what we (American Patriots not slave sheeples) revolted against as Our Revolution against the totalitarianism of England.

The Anglo-American system (Our system) of jurisprudence is the only one which developed out of what is called the Common Law, that is, the general law of private property known in the British Isles. It is true - Common Law was designed through the centuries to secure the rights of individuals (you and me, that is before the War Powers Act) to property and to make it difficult for property to be taken away from us by a government or governmental structure (bureaucracy) without due process of law. The Common Law was expounded over the years in hundreds of thousands of case decisions as a result of trials in which the Common Law jury acted as the Judges, and in which they exercised the authority to hear and decide questions of both Law and fact. Common Law deals with legal relationships, powers and liabilities, and types of actions rather than theoretical definitions of abstract legal concepts. The Common Law was recognized by Our Founding Fathers and is (er was) the basis of all law in America today.

The Common Law recognizes the Power of Government lies in the common people and not in an elite group of power brokers. It is the terrible Equity, Maritime or Admiralty Laws (laws of contract and the War Powers Act) that steals this power from the people and centralizes it into the hands of a few power oriented men. The Common Law deals in real property whereas the Equity Laws deal in written abstractions of performance (agreements or contracts). In other words, Masters own their own property, work and destiny. We are all Masters when we truly own our own property (No one now really owns their property, it is the possession of the Federal Reserve to back the US Dollar). Slaves do not own property, they usually rent property (e.g. pay exorbitant property taxes) of another and are compelled to perform upon or with that rented (tenured) property according to some agreement or contract.

OK here this is the punch line, read this one carefully.

Our Declaration of Independence charges that America had been progressively subjected to "a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution" (meaning the unwritten English Constitution). This foreign jurisdiction was a jurisdiction of lawless ad hoc equity derived out of the Roman Civil Law under the stark cover of such obscenities as the Writs of Assistance (which our Courts of today also claim to have the authority to issue) which allowed summary plundering of the colonists' wealth and substance TO THE ADVANTAGE OF the East India Company which controlled the Parliament. (As today, it allows the summary plundering of the American citizens' wealth and substance TO THE ADVANTAGE OF the banks and other financial (lending, insurance, etc.) institutions which control the Congress and State legislatures). It has been recognized and stated for over one hundred years that "we have the best Congress that money can buy."

It is a fantasy that Our government prints (issues) money. It really works like this: The US Congress desires to spend (that' s how they stay in office) more money to buy our votes. There is a problem here as there is no money because the Congress of 1913 gave their own Constitutional right to coin real money away to a bunch of foreign bankers - the Federal Reserve Banks. The Congress must request the Federal Reserve to issue and then lend them (Us) some Federal Reserve notes. The privately owned, tax exempt Federal Reserve Bank lends these notes to the U.S. Government (you and me and our children and neighbors). The tax-exempt Fed only pays the U.S. Treasury about 3 cents per bill for these (regardless of denomination) as printing cost. But when we get these funny pieces of paper we have to pay the full face value back with our blood sweat and tears PLUS ANY INTEREST the thieves think is appropriate for them. Guess what didn't happen in this transaction? The thieving Fed never printed the interest! So We can maybe pay back 100% of what we borrowed but there are no more Fed notes to pay the interest! Every time Our government employees borrows more from the private Fed we get further and further into debt - a debt that can never be paid!

Balancing the budget has nothing to do with paying down this debt. It only implies that the Government collected enough that fiscal year to cover expense on the books (Note: Social Security funds are illegally commingled with the General fund to mask their annual over-spending).

"The burden of debt is as destructive to Freedom as subjugation by conquest."

Benjamin Franklin

In the beginning we paid this bogus and illegal debt with real money - gold - until it was all gone on March 9, 1933 when Roosevelt literally, willfully and without due process of law took the gold away from the American citizen (Us) and gave it to the bunch of thieves at the Fed in exchange for paper (Emergency War Powers Act). Paper which could only do one thing - put us further into irretrievable debt. Why put America into deeper and deeper debt? Reread Franklin's quote in the previous paragraph. The idiotic process continued until 1968 when they took the balance of our silver to pay for even more of these worthless notes.

On June 5, 1933, as a result of a prearranged banking crisis, the Congress of the United States passed House Joint Resolution No. 192, suspending the Gold Standard (they did not abolish it), which means they disestablished the fixed content of the Gold Dollar and took away the Law jurisdiction of the U. S. Standard Dollar Lawful Money. In effect, the entire country, every State and every freeborn, Sovereign American individual, became insolvent and was effectively put into bankruptcy, making it impossible for each State and each individual to either pay their debts, at Law, or to be paid, at Law. This was, in actuality, a criminal act of usurpation of the sovereignty of We The People, by Congress.

Instead of being able to demand payment at Law, or to make payment in Standard Gold Dollars as Lawful money, or the equivalent Treasury currency, redeemable on demand, at Par, We The People were forced on to the credit of the private banks, the Federal Reserve Banks and the commercial banks, and began to pass around their debt instruments, as though it were real money, making use of their debt-claims for the money, and thereby, by the operation of House Joint Resolution No, 192, into an alien and unlawful Federal Executive Equity Jurisdiction, known as lex mercatoria, or the Law Merchant, which is the private rule of the bankers, and from which jurisdiction our forefathers fought, and won, a revolution to be free, and from which jurisdiction our Constitution and Bill of Rights protects Us.

"We the People are the rightful master of both congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."

Abraham Lincoln

OK, here is the bottom line.

When FDR enacted Emergency War Powers in 1933, Common Law was officially suspended, thus suspending the Constitution. We now live under an illusion. Our Rights are but privledges that may (and probably will) be taken away from us a piece at a time. But you can bet the Global Banking Elite don't want to piss us off, they want us to be a fruitful group of Surfs.

So as far as Martial Law is concerned, the Government doesn't have to declare it, it is already here. Have you ever wondered why We the People don't have the Right to form Militias, arming ourselves, and protecting the Homeland??

Under Emergency War Powers that responsibility was ILLEGALLY given to the National Guard, whose bases ARE all on Federal, not State, lands and were established under Maritime or Admiralty Law. The National Guard was not in existance in American until the 1880s, and was totally restructured under Federal controls in the 1930s. It is a branch of the US Armed Forces.

So all of you so-called brave Patriots will need to join the Armed Forces or National Guard (who are only ex-US Military) to defend the US, because the Militia is dead.

And as such, I'm not sure why we being allowed to have personal weapons, because "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.", really no longer applies. We are just sheeple to feed the master.

And for us the Common People to revolt, whether armed or legally, now is suicide. It was possible 225 years ago, but it would be totally impossible now. We, the Common people, who make up the Common Militia are no longer necessary, viable, needed and the most of all wanted.

That is why the Militia has become an anachronism and accursed.
