In the twenty year period between 1913 and 1933, many crucial events happened-and failed to happen. What did happen is the First World War, the abolishment of the U.S. Treasury, an exponential increase in Government debt that became impossible to repay, and the transfer of essentially all the gold of the United States to the Federal Reserve (Federal Reserve). What did not happen is that no one filed a Quo Warranto in a court of Admiralty to challenge the constitutionality of the Federal Reserve Act, which in 1933 thereby became "public policy." All governments are corporations--legal fictions, abstract constructs of the mind. They are unreal entities. All men and women, as sovereigns, are morally free of all overlords, governments, bureaucracies, or external authorities who would seek to exert any control to the contrary. A "government" is an abstract construct, a legal fiction that enables some people to rule others by force. Someone in a government has automatic power over the lives of others not for any merit or accomplishment on his part, or direct relationship with the people "governed," but merely because he occupies a position in the artificial institution. Today all the various "bodies of law" mentioned above constitute parts of the aggregate whole that comprise the tools of governing wielded by those who actually rule. The dominant political undercurrent of the 20th Century has been an unrelenting effort to eliminate freedom and subjugate humanity under a one world commercial government. In America, the 14th Amendment fraudulently laid the foundation for expropriating and re-constituting law, government, money, and society. "The law is a game. It's like a chessboard. A decision comes down and there are 22 different interpretations. One judge says no, ' five judges say yeah.' Seven judges turn over the five judges, they say no.' Then you go to Washington, nine judges say yeah.' So it's individual opinions." All this would be tolerable except for the fact that human lives are attached. Force (violence and injury) flows from legal decisions. The law is both imprecise and brutal. That is a disquieting mix. Like the gladiator fights of ancient Rome, law is an adversarial game of life and death. Force is escalated to whatever degrees are necessary to effect enforcement. That ultimately means death. Violence, imprisonment, death, and threat of death back up all law. Law and governments rule by playing death against life. Throughout history countless cultures, religions, tribes, countries, groups, associations, etc., have formulated the "laws" which govern their functioning and the actions of their members. To have any teeth, all such rules and regulations are backed up by force. Diverse bodies of law have prevailed in varying degrees of preeminence. A great many of them remain, incorporated into governmental legal systems. There are only two kinds of law: common law and Roman Civil Law. The first is of, by, and from the people, i.e. life, from the "ground up and inside out," as it were. The second is the law of rulers, born in abstraction and power considerations, administered by coercion "from the top down." ..".the basic concept of these two systems was as opposite as the poles. In the civil law, the source of all law is the personal ruler, whether prince, king, or emperor; he is sovereign. In the Common Law, certainly as finally developed in America, the source of all law is the people. They, as a whole, are sovereign. During the centuries, these two systems have had an almost deadly rivalry for the control of society, the Civil Law and its fundamental concepts being the instrument through which ambitious men of genius and selfishness have set up and maintained despotisms; the Common Law, with its basic principles being the instrument through which men of equal genius, but with love of mankind burning in their souls, have established and preserved liberty and free institutions."
