This author is working toward a slight modification
of the definition of "federal."
In the past, you´ve read this concept:
"Federal" means "federal." It doesn´t mean
"national," and it most certainly doesn´t mean "constitutional."
"Federal" means "federal." At the level of a state, "federal" means
"by compact" or "by treaty." At the level of the individual, "federal"
means "by private obligation."
The point to be made by that definition is
simply this. Those who go about defending themselves by throwing
"law" at the matter will likely lose every time, because they know
not the law that applies. If they knew the law that applied, they´d
also realize what facts are the material and relevant facts in the
case. We don´t really know the relevant law until we can apply that
understanding so as to identify the material and relevant facts.
Thus, those who think the problem arises because a statue exists
rather than because an alleged commercial nexus exists will "never"
argue law that will help them, no matter how correct their understanding
and assertion of whatever legal concepts they assert.
For that reason, this author has sometimes
applied that definition by continuing the discussion this way:
There are two generic forms of private obligations:
contracts and trusts.
And, then, to motivate the reflective minds
in the crowd, this author has sometimes concluded this section of
the discussion with this cliff-hanger:
No one goes to jail for mere breach of contract.
Most stop there, and some (not on the list)
have sent (angry) emails assuring this author that people DO go
to jail for mere breach of contract. In other words, those folks
are not yet students of the reality, and they´d still rather be
able to justify their anger than solve their problems.
It IS a wicked paradigm shift. We DO have
to accept the fact that we´ve been so lied to for so long that we´ve
based a lot of our present world view on lies. For a person to change
his world view is for that person to experience a "death" event,
for part of that person "dies" when s/he accepts the fact that certain
concepts previously accepted as true and reliable are just flat
out lies. Most are reluctant to let go of their life-long perspectives,
no matter how ill-founded, and that´s why it takes generations and
generations to get a community´s world view changed from the lies
into reality.
The reason for re-examining this definition
is this. Not all "gotcha agreements" behave like PRIVATE obligations.
Let´s look at the national mortgage foreclosure
scam as an example. That agreement is by and between a bank (lending
institution) and the individual(s) (home owner(s)). For those agreements,
the banks don´t pretend also to be the "government." They pretend
to be commercial players in the marketplace. Therefore, it´s relevant
that there BE a signature proved up. The signature is a very important
fact, and where the foreclosing entity can´t prove that it was ever
party to the agreement, it has no standing to pursue the foreclosure.
Key, no "mortgage" agreement is found published in any "code" or
"title."
We´ve had a case recently, in the "tax" context,
where one of the foundational objectives was to get the irs/doj
conglomerate to prove up the agreement on which their claim was
based. We got some very encouraging information from that case on
a couple of critical points, and we also got confirmation that we´ll
never be able to compel "them" to prove up the "gotcha agreement"
via the judicial process.
How can it be, then, on the one hand, that
there must be a viable commercial nexus and yet, on the other, no
evidentiary requirement that "they" prove up a signature?
The working theory on the answer to
that question is this. We need to rephrase "private obligation"
to "commercial agreement" or simply to "agreement" so as not to
get stuck on the variations in what constitutes evidence and by
what mechanism for "all" such cases.
Public
information may be admitted into the case via Judicial Notice.
Thus, where a "code" or a "title" is publicly
published and available, and where that "code" or "title" IS the
body of the agreement, it stands to reason that there need be no
tender of it into evidence, for it is admissible via Judicial Notice.
And, it may also follow that a "signature"
to such "public
agreement" is also admissible via Judicial Notice.
Cheesy, yes, but we´re not dealing with a
group under the guidance of Mother Teresa. We´re dealing with the
slimiest of slimeballs this world may have generated to date. Whatever
hook or crook they can use, they use it. It comes straight out of
Machiavelli´s "The Prince," in that the first objective of power
is to get it, and the second objective is to keep it. In that morality,
the ends justify the means.
Having been in reflection upon this perspective
for some time now, what provides confidence that this working theory
is headed in the right direction is this additional matter. In PRIVATE
obligations, there are a whole slew of defenses, including "illegality."
Why has "illegality" not served as a defense in the "income tax"
context, where we can prove, for example, that "tax" "dollars" have
been used for the planning of, the carrying out of, and/or the cover-up
of, all kinds of murderous crimes and criminal activity, including
the JFK assassination, the RFK assassination, the MLK, Jr., assassination,
the attempted assassination of Reagan, Ruby Ridge, Waco, Murrah
Building bombing, TWA 800, S-11, Vince Foster, Sec. Brown, Chandra
Levy, MK ULTRA, etc., etc., etc.? One reason may very well be that
because it´s a "public" "agreement," it IS, "by definition," NOT
"against public policy" to enter into that particular agreement.
For purposes of obtaining to a competent
solution, the engineering side has to act first by realizing the
practical side of the matter. When the science side has time to
fill in the theory and the "proof" of that theory, that´ll be great.
However, where "agreement" is compelled as the mechanism, and yet
nothing about the typical "defenses" and burdens of proof apply,
it follows that we may be experiencing the difference between a
PRIVATE obligation and a PUBLIC obligation.
For this reason, this author will now be
defining "federal" this way.
"Federal" means "federal."
It doesn´t mean "national," and
it most certainly doesn´t mean "constitutional."
"Federal" means "federal."
At the level of a state, "federal"
means "by compact" or "by treaty."
At the level of the individual,
"federal" means "by agreement." |
The term "private" is removed. There may
be "private" obligations involved, but the ones of focus to date
don´t behave that way, at all. Therefore, the expectation is that
they are treated as "public" agreements, and with that treatment
may come the explanation as to why no proof of signature is required
and why perfectly viable defenses are ineffective.
Where "they" don´t have to prove up a signature
in court, and where normal defenses are ineffective, that hardly
means that there´s "no solution." It just means all the more that
"the" solution may be primarily (solely?) a "preventative" measure.
Where there is no "curative" measure, all that remains is prevention.
"Federal" means "federal." It doesn´t mean
"national," and it most certainly doesn´t mean "constitutional."
"Federal" means "federal." At the level of a state, "federal" means
"by compact" or "by treaty." (What is a "compact" or a "treaty?"
It´s an agreement entered into by that state.) At the level of the
individual, "federal" means "by agreement."
There are two generic forms of agreements:
contracts and trusts.
No one goes to jail for breach of contract.
