Corporations Own What Exactly?


The idea of property rights begins with owning yourself!

“the rights of natural persons”

 

Democracy does not lead to a republic, because in a democracy it soon becomes apparent to politicians and the populace that they can vote themselves someone's property.

Republics are based on the sanctity of the person.

That is to say, the government is no better than an individual, and no government can vote to remove a right, that some other individual could. By extension of the sanctity of the person, comes a person's property, which is the result of the person's efforts. So, a republic would generally have taxes on consumption and use, but not production.

"Our corporate form of governance is based on Roman Civil Law and Admiralty, or Maritime Law, which is also known as the 'Divine Right of Kings' and the 'Law of the Seas' -- another fact of American history not taught in our schools.

"Corporate origins of the United States" by  dave dayen

When looking at the legal and political history that led up to the formation of the United States of America, judges and historians typically look to English royal and Parliamentary edicts as explanations and precedents for the American government. This is too limited a view. Usually neglected are the unheralded, deep, and indeed often dominant influences on the United States government from medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque-era era corporations.  During these eras corporations took a wide variety of forms. Abbeys, monasteries and dioceses were ecclesiastical corporations; boroughs and cities were municipal corporations, and a wide variety of other corporations existed including merchant and trade guilds, universities, and hospitals. Royal law did not make a strong distinction between these different kinds of corporations as our law makes today between, for example, commercial corporations and municipal corporations. They were all "corporations and bodies politick" whose charters used the same basic form and language and which often were granted various degrees of judicial and police powers as property rights appurtenant to or held by the corporation. <snip>

Navigation Acts (1651, 1660)
Dutch ships masquerading as English vessels, Photograph, from Encyclopedia Britannica Online.Navigation Acts: Dutch ships masquerading as English vessels.
The Navigation Acts (1651, 1660) were acts of Parliament intended to promote the self-sufficiency of the British Empire by restricting colonial trade to England and decreasing dependence on foreign imported goods. The Navigation Act of 1651, aimed primarily at the Dutch, required all trade between England and the colonies to be carried in English or colonial vessels, resulting in the Anglo-Dutch War in 1652. The Navigation Act of 1660 continued the policies set forth in the 1651 act and enumerated certain articles-sugar, tobacco, cotton, wool, indigo, and ginger-that were to be shipped only to England or an English province. In effect, these acts created serious reductions in the trade of many North Carolina planters and merchants. To continue intercolonial trade, the colonies resorted to smuggling, particularly Albemarle County in North Carolina, the chief producer and exporter of tobacco, which carried on a profitable trade with the Massachusetts and Rhode Island colonies. The violations of the Navigation Acts led to passage of the Plantation Duty Act of 1673, one of the factors that led to Culpeper's Rebellion.

 

Actually, Roman Civil Law was fully established in the colonies before our nation began, and then became managed by private international law.

In other words, the government -- the government created for the District of Columbia via the Act of 1871 – operates solely under Private International Law, not Common Law, which was the foundation of our Constitutional Republic. "

District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 - 12 pages

The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871, formally An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia, is an Act of Congress that repealed the individual charters of the cities of Washington and Georgetown and established a new territorial government for the whole District of Columbia. Though Congress repealed the territorial government in 1874, the legislation was the first to create a single municipal government for the federal district. Shortly after establishing operations in the new capital, Congress passed the Organic Act of 1801, which organized the federal territory. Congress allowed the cities of Washington and Georgetown to each maintain their own municipal governments. The remainder of the unincorporated territory within the federal district formed the new County of Washington, which was governed by a levy court consisting of three Justices of the Peace appointed by the President. The City of Alexandria and adjacent Alexandria County also maintained their own local governments but were returned by Congress to the state of Virginia in 1846. Congress passed the Organic Act of 1871, which revoked the individual charters of the cities of Washington and Georgetown and combined them with Washington County to create a unified territorial government for the entire District of Columbia.The new government consisted of an appointed governor and 11-member council, a locally elected 22-member assembly, and a board of public works charged with modernizing the city. The Seal of the District of Columbia features the date 1871, recognizing the year the District's government was incorporated.

Act of 1871 -- The United States Isn't a Country; It's a Corporation! 

In preparation for stealing America, the puppets of Britain's banking cabal had already created a second government, a Shadow Government designed to manage what the common herd believed was a democracy, but what really was an incorporated UNITED STATES.

"Our corporate form of governance is based on Roman Civil Law and Admiralty, or Maritime Law, which is also known as the 'Divine Right of Kings' and the 'Law of the Seas'

Actually, Roman Civil Law was fully established in the colonies before our nation began, and then became managed by private international law. In other words, the government -- the government created for the District of Columbia via the Act of 1871 – operates solely under Private International Law, not Common Law, which was the foundation of our Constitutional Republic. "This fact has impacted all Americans in concrete ways. For instance, although Private International Law is technically only applicable within the District of Columbia, and NOT in the other states of the Union, the arms of the Corporation of the UNITED STATES are called 'departments' -- i.e., the Justice Department, the Treasury Department. And those departments affect everyone, no matter where (in what state) they live. Guess what? Each department belongs to the corporation -- to the UNITED STATES.

 

What is Private International Law?

Private international law is the body of conventions, model laws, national laws, legal guides, and other documents and instruments that regulate private relationships across national borders. Private international law has a dualistic character, balancing international consensus with domestic recognition and implementation, as well as balancing sovereign actions with those of the private sector.

This fact has impacted all Americans in concrete ways. For instance, although Private International Law is technically only applicable within the District of Columbia, and NOT in the other states of the Union, the arms of the Corporation of the UNITED STATES are called 'departments' -- i.e., the Justice Department, the Treasury Department. And those departments affect everyone, no matter where (in what state) they live. Guess what? Each department belongs to the corporation -- to the UNITED STATES.

"Refer to any UNITED STATES CODE (USC). Note the capitalization; this is evidence of a corporation, not a Republic.

For example, In Title 28 3002 (15) (A) (B) (C), it is unequivocally stated that the UNITED STATES is a corporation.

Translation: the corporation is NOT a separate and distinct entity; it is not disconnected from the government; it IS the government -- your government.
This is extremely important! I refer to it as the 'corporate EMPIRE of the UNITED STATES,' which operates under Roman Civil Law outside the original Constitution.

Do members of Congress work for us or do they work for the Corporation, for the UNITED STATES.

"Technically, legally, or any other way you want to look at the matter, the corporate government of the UNITED STATES has no jurisdiction or authority in ANY State of the Union (the Republic) beyond the District of Columbia.

The history of corporate law in the United States can be directly tied to the ebb and flow of the debate between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson over how centralized the government of the United States should be, how much power the member states should have over their own affairs, and how much say citizens and citizen organizations should have in public affairs.

While both Hamilton and Jefferson participated in the creation of the Federal Government, which was more centralized than that proposed in the Articles of Confederation, they had very different visions of government. Hamilton advocated for a stronger central government, which he believed necessary for an industrialized nation, while Jefferson advocated for a more decentralized, more agrarian nation (see Jeffersonian democracy). When Hamilton, as the first US Treasury Secretary, created a national bank for the new country (see First Bank of the United States), Jefferson opposed the idea. After 20 years in operation, the bank's charter was not renewed. (Later, President Andrew Jackson seeing the Second Bank of the United States as a source of corruption, succeeded in eliminating that institution by refusing to renew its charter thereby eliminating a central bank in the United States.)

The Federal Constitution of 1788 did not mention corporations.

 

Thus, although the Federal government has from time to time chartered corporations, the general chartering of corporations has been left to the states. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, corporations began to be chartered in greater numbers by the states. Corporations had long existed in the new nation, but these were primarily educational corporations or institutions chartered by the British crown which continued to exist after the new nation was created from the Confederation. Due to experience as British Colonies and the accompanying corporate colonialism from British corporations chartered by the crown to do business in North America, most directly exercised through government grants of monopoly as part of the chartering process, new corporations were greeted with mixed feelings.

With the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery by the Thirteenth Amendment [ called The Title of Nobility Amendment] and ratified 1865, the Confederate states sought readmission to the Union and to Congress. Under Article I, section 2 of the Constitution, a slave had been counted as three‐fifths of a person for purposes of representation. Because of the abolition of slavery, Southern states expected a substantial increase in their representation in the House of Representatives.

The idea that "corporations are people" was slipped into this amendment when giving Slaves their right to be human!!

 

[movie] The Corporation

is a 2003 Canadian documentary film written by Joel Bakan, and directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott. The documentary is critical of the modern-day corporation, considering its legal status as a class of person and evaluating its behavior towards society and the world at large.

Take Away: Corporations became people when the courts freed the slaves. One had nothing to do with the other. It was a simple matter of opportunity and corruption. Men sued the government saying they were entitled to those same rights of personhood that slaves were now going to have and because of corruption they won! Corporations took advantage of the Emancipation Proclamation law passed on the backs of slaves!

The documentary shows the development of the contemporary business corporation, from a legal entity that originated as a government-chartered institution meant to affect specific public functions, to the rise of the modern commercial institution entitled to most of the legal rights of a person. The documentary concentrates mostly upon North American corporations, especially those of the United States. One theme is its assessment as a "personality", as a result of an 1886 case in the United States Supreme Court in which a statement by Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite led to corporations as "persons" having the same rights as human beings, based on the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Plantation owners forced to "free their slave property" and then were reimbursed for their loss by the government under the 14th amendment.

The existing 13th Amendment bans slavery.

ADHESIONS CITIZENS CONTRACT

 

1868 Adhesion Citizens Contract in the 14th Amendment

n. a term used in contract law adhesion contract is a contract between two unequal bargaining partners and does not allow for negotiation. It can be thought of as take it or leave it kind of contract where one party is tied down to accept whatever terms of conditions are put forth by the other powerful party.
An American is a Free Person who has NOT made a contractual relationship with the United States Corporation. You are a citizen living in a foreign state.
An American Citizen has birth certificate, social security number or signature which was the contracted into with the United States.


The Fourteenth Amendment was proposed by Congress in 1866 and ratified by the states in 1868.
It reflected Republican determination that southern states should not be readmitted to the Union and Congress without additional guarantees. The first major interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment's effect came in the Slaughterhouse Cases (1873), in which the Court held that the basic civil rights and liberties of citizens remained under control of state law. Contrary to the expectations of some of the amendment's framers, the Supreme Court held that it did not overrule Barron v. Baltimore (1833) to require states and local governments to respect the guarantees of the Bill of Rights. The Court also held that because the amendment provided that "no state shall" deprive persons of the rights it guaranteed, Congressional legislation protecting blacks and Republicans from Ku Klux Klan violence exceeded the power of the federal government.
 

Beginning in the 1870s, corporate lawyers became bolder about using the Webster/Marshall theory of corporations as persons, arguing that as such they were entitled to some of the legal protections against arbitrary state action accorded also to natural persons.

Ever wonder why those who fight the IRS are not allowed to bring up their Constitutional Rights in tax court?

Constitutional Rights do not apply in an equity court, a court of maritime law that MUST display a gold fringed flag.

Contract law supersedes individual and Constitutional Rights. Corporate law is a totally different animal from common law. Ask any corporate attorney.

 

How Delaware became an American haven for “grand corruption”

An international watchdog just called out the First State for its dangerous role in the corporate ecosystem. Delaware’s over the top pro-business Chancery Court, its statutory trust provisions, non-existent taxes, as well as its extremely user friendly limited-liability-corporation registration process, has drawn in more than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies and over half of America’s publicly traded companies. Back in 2012, the New York Times reported that Delaware had more registered corporations than it had residents, roughly one million compared to fewer than 900,000 people.  Like the international version of a tax haven, Delaware offers a form of tax sanctuary for corporations that register there, permitting them to assign revenue they earn in other states as royalty income to their entity domiciled in Delaware, which does not tax such income.

The Federal Reserve is a quasi-governmental banking system. Just like corporations have board of directors, so does the Federal Reserve have a board of governors. Board of governors is appointed by the president of the United States and they're located in Washington DC. There is also the open market committee that oversees the U.S. monetary policy. Most importantly the Federal Reserve has MANY private member banks that own many shares of its stock. As you can see, it functions just like any corporation and it has its own checks and balances. The EU has it's own central bank that mirros the U.S. Federal Reserve system.

Ever look at the trust corporations (such as the RESOLUTION TRUST CORP (RTC) associated with the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC.?

Trust - a fiduciary relationship in which one party holds legal title to another's property for the benefit of a party who holds equitable title to the property. Who holds the equitable title? Ever notice property deeds state 'tenant' when referring to the supposed owner? We are ruled by fictitious entities - corporations are fictions.

The Mystery of 1886 and Chief Justice Waite

In fact, to this day there has been no Supreme Court ruling that explicitly explains why a corporation — with its ability to continue operating forever, its being merely a legal agreement that can't be put in jail and doesn't need fresh water to drink or clean air to breathe — should be granted the same constitutional rights our Founders fought for, died for, and granted to the very mortal human beings who are citizens of the United States, to protect them against the perils of imprisonment and suppression they had experienced under a despot king.

But something happened in 1886, even though nobody to this day knows exactly what or why. Chief Justice Waite Rewrites the Constitution (or Does He?)

From Chapter Six, "The Deciding Moment" of "Unequal Protection: The Rise of Corporate Dominance and the Theft of Human Rights".

The evolution of the Fourteenth Amendment began with the first Civil Rights Bill, which provided that -

‘All persons born in the United States…are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States and such citizens of every race and color…shall have the same right in every state and territory in the United States to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, and give evidence, to inherit, purchase, lease, sue, hold, and enjoy real and personal property, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of person and property as is enjoyed by WHITE citizens.’

That this law was intended to establish equality between men in their individual capacity, and had no reference to equality between men and corporations, is too plain for argument. The law took the rights of a white citizen as the standard of measurement, and simply commanded that the rights of all other citizens, whatever their race or color, should be equal to his. …

In the written record of the case, the court recorder noted: “The defendant corporations are persons within the intent of the clause in section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which forbids a State to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”This written statement, that corporations were “persons” rather than “artificial persons,” with an equal footing under the Bill of Rights as humans, was not a formal ruling of the court, but was reportedly a simple statement by its Chief Justice, recorded by the court recorder.

There was no Supreme Court decision to the effect that corporations are equal to natural persons and not artificial persons.There were no opinions issued to that effect, and therefore no dissenting opinions on this immensely important constitutional issue.

There was no public debate of the issue among the justices, and no discussion in open court.

The written record, as excerpted above, simply assumed corporate personhood without any explanation why. The only explanation provided was the court recorder’s reference to something he says Waite said, which essentially says, “that’s just our opinion” without providing legal argument.

In these two sentences (according to the conventional wisdom), Waite weakened the kind of democratic republic the original authors of the Constitution had envisioned, and set the stage for the future worldwide damage of our environmental, governmental, and cultural commons. The plutocracy that had arisen with the East India Company in 1600, and been fought back by America’s Founders, had gained a tool that was to allow them, in the coming decades, to once again gain control of most of North America, and then the world. Ironically, of the 307 Fourteenth Amendment cases brought before the Supreme Court in the years between his proclamation and 1910, only 19 dealt with African Americans: 288 were suits brought by corporations seeking the rights of natural persons.

 

 

 

So, republics are based on the sanctity of the person.
That is to say, the government is no better than an individual, and no government can vote to remove a right, that some other individual could. By extension of the sanctity of the person, comes a person's property, which is the result of the person's efforts. So, a republic would generally have taxes on consumption and use, but not production.

Those original European Kings and Queens who owned America also owned the bank accounts of their "representatives" AKA the ones who were given the charters.

The Province of Pennsylvania, also known as Pennsylvania Colony, was founded in British America by William Penn on March 4, 1681 as dictated in a royal charter granted by King Charles II. The colony's charter remained in the hands of the Penn family until the American Revolution, when the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was created and became one of the original thirteen states. Thomas Paine emigrated to Philadelphia in 1774 at Benjamin Franklin's urging. His tract, Common Sense, published in 1776, was arguably the most famous and influential argument for the Revolution. He was also the first to publicly champion the phrase "United States of America." The Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike, first used in 1795, is the first long-distance paved road built in the United States.

1688 Germantown Quaker Petition Against Slavery
Haverford College Quaker and Special Collections
In payment of a debt to Penn's father, Penn had received from King Charles II of England a large land grant west of New Jersey which King Charles II of England named Pennsylvania after William's father, Admiral Penn.Germantown was thus founded along a Lenni Lenape trail four miles (6 km) north of Philadelphia, between the Wissahickon and Wingohocking creeks. The king allowed Penn to establish a proprietary colony where Penn appointed the governor and judges but established an otherwise democratic system of government with freedom of religion, fair trials, elected representatives, and separation of church and state.
Penn had converted to Quakerism. In the 1670 "Hay-market case", William Penn was accused of the crime of 'preaching Quakerism to an unlawful assembly' and while he freely admitted his guilt, he challenged the righteousness of such a law. He had been imprisoned several times for his beliefs. Common Law Jury nullification
is a de facto power of juries.
Judges rarely inform juries of their nullification power. Jury nullification occurs in a trial when a jury reaches a verdict contrary to the judge's instructions as to the law. A jury verdict contrary to the letter of the law pertains only to the particular case before it; however, if a pattern of acquittals develops in response to repeated attempts to prosecute a statutory offence, it can have the de facto effect of invalidating the statute. A pattern of jury nullification may indicate public opposition to an unwanted legislative enactment. Some commonly cited historical examples of jury nullification involve the refusal of American colonial juries to convict a defendant under English law.[2] Juries have also refused to convict due to the perceived injustice of a law in general,[3] or the perceived injustice of the way the law is applied in particular cases.[4] The general power of juries to decide on verdicts was recognised in the English Magna Carta [14]

Berkeley County West Virgina

 

Berkeley County was created by an act of the House of Burgesses in February 1772 from the northern third of Frederick County (Virginia). At the time of the county's formation it also consisted of the areas that make up the present day Jefferson and Morgan counties. Berkeley County is the state's second oldest county.

Most historians believe that the county was named for Norborne Berkeley, Baron de Botetourt (1718-1770), Colonial Governor of Virginia from 1768 to 1770. In 1769, he dissolved the Virginia General Assembly after it adopted two resolutions that he felt bordered on treason (the Assembly declared that Virginia should no longer submit to taxation by England and that Virginia would no longer send its criminals to England for trial). Despite his differences with the General Assembly, Norborne Berkeley was well respected by the colonists. He was referred to as the "good governor of Virginia." There is a monument to his memory in Williamsburg, and two counties were named in his honor, Berkeley (in present day West Virginia) and Botetourt in Virginia.
Other historians claim that the county may have been named in honor of Sir William Berkeley (1610-1677). He was born near London, graduated from Oxford University in 1629, and was appointed Governor of Virginia in 1642. He served as Governor until 1652 and was later reappointed Governor in 1660. He continued to serve as Virginia's Governor until 1677 when he was called back to England. He died later that year, on July 9, 1677. Advocates of Norborne Berkeley note that the other Governor Berkeley (William) was known by some as the "Tyrannical Governor of Virginia" because he ordered the hanging of Nathaniel Bacon's followers for resisting his authority.

The people first sent to America represented the English Royalty the Englands financial interests. These same people were also here for their own personal financial gain.

Europeans first settled New Bedford in 1652. Plymouth Colony settlers purchased the land from chief Massasoit of the Wampanoag tribe. Whether the transfer of the land was legitimately done has been the subject of intense controversy. Like other native tribes, the Wampanoags did not share the settlers' concepts of private property. The tribe believed they were granting usage rights to the land, not giving it up permanently.

The settlers used the land to build the colonial town of Old Dartmouth (which encompassed not only present-day Dartmouth, but also present-day New Bedford, Acushnet, Fairhaven, and Westport). A section of Old Dartmouth near the west bank of the Acushnet River, originally called Bedford Village, was officially incorporated as the town of New Bedford in 1787. The name was suggested by the Russell family who were prominent citizens of the community. It comes from the fact that the Dukes of Bedford, a leading English aristocratic house, also bore the surname Russell. (Bedford, Massachusetts had already been incorporated by 1787; hence "New" Bedford.)

The Turks & Caicos offer a number of advantages for savvy investors: NO income, estate, corporate, real estate TAX. The official currency is the US Dollar. The Turks and Caicos Islands provide a full range of international banking and trust services. There are many licensed entities that carry out banking business, five licensed to carry out domestic and international services from within the islands. The Financial Services Commission (FSC) embodies in a single agency all regulatory aspects of the financial services industry. The FSC is responsible for licensing and supervising all finance-related operating entities to internationally accepted standards.
The TCI Companies Ordinance provides for the formation of Exempted Companies (internationally known as IBCs). The formation of these IBCS companies has been mainly for use as vehicles for establishing reinsurance companies and for real estate transactions.The TCI does not anticipate any significant reduction in business in the islands as a result of new EU taxation legislation. The EU Directive on the taxation of savings income, for example, is applicable to individuals and not corporate entities.
