We each have rights that are as solid in Man�s history as the sun rising each day. It does not take a piece of paper to have rights � it only takes a piece of paper to write down facts that exist with or without a document. The fact is that all mankind is given rights by the grace of the Creator, rights that cannot be lawfully circumvented by government.

We each have the right of living our lives free of intrusion by government or by other people unless we ask for their inclusion into our individual lives. We each have the right of pursuing happiness as we see fit. We each have the right to trade our property, our labor, for whatever we may gain, whether it be knowledge or other property.

This is what we call Liberty, best defined as the right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one�s own choosing. These are the rights to engage in actions without control or interference, especially undue and unjust interference from the several levels of government.

The individual is sovereign in such a Republic as ours with liberty expressed by the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and, for complete inclusion, the 9th Amendment. This means he answers to no person unless he interferes with the rights of the person. He is sovereign and is as a king or queen in a monarch. Laws may not be made concerning his sovereign rights as no government is above him. Indeed, the government was created only to protect the rights of the sovereign.

However, we have allowed a totalitarian regime to develop right in front of our eyes through our complacency to deceits perpetrated by government,. We, the multitudes, have been indoctrinated to one of the most oppressive forms of government to exist � communism.

Government, through its deceits and use of armed or other coercive force along with educational doctrination, has removed property rights, destroyed in varying degrees the Bill of Rights, and has used the Declaration of Independence for toilet paper. It, of course, ignores the dictates placed on government by the Constitution for the United States of America.

Common law courts, the only lawful courts of the sovereign, have been replaced by Admiralty/military/maritime courts in which the sovereign hasn�t any power but must bend to the will of judges who are intent on destroying the concept of Liberty. The flag seen in such courts is not the flag of the United States of America as defined by Title 4, Section 1:

�The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white: and the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars [Note: Stars were added when Alaska and Hawaii were granted statehood], white in a blue field.�

In regards to the flag representing the United States of America, we find this in the Federal Register at Vol. 24. No. 166, pp 6365-6367 (as in Title 4, Ss 1, 2 and Presidential Order 10834):

"The American Flag of Peace of the united States of America is described as red, white and blue, with thirteen alternating red and white horizontal stripes, and a blue field (union) with 50 stars, one to represent each of the several States. The Flag is proportional, (1 X 1.9) . This proportion is easily determined by measuring the length (fly) and dividing by the measurement of the width (hoist). The length divided by the width should be very nearly 1.9. If the flag is not to the correct 1 X 1.9 proportion, it is not an official Title 4 U.S.C. 1, 2 American Flag of Peace of the united States of America.

Then, from Title 4, Section 1(page 1113):

�Placing of fringe on the national flag, the dimensions of the flag, and arrangement of the stars are matters of detail not controlled by statute, but with the discretion of the President as commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy.� (1925, 34 Op. Atty. Gen. 483.)

There are many who tell people that the gold-fringed flag is just a decorative flag, that it is the same flag to which we pledge allegiance. If this is true, then why the statement above involving the president as commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy and why the following Executive Order?

�Pursuant to U.S.C. Chapter 1, 2,and 3: Executive Order No. 10834, August 21, 1959, 24 F.R. 6865, a military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a yellow fringe, bordered on three sides. The President of the United States designates this deviation from the regular flag, by executive order, and in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.�

And, according to Army Regulations (AR 840-10, October 1, 1979):

"The Flag is trimmed on three sides with Fringe of Gold, 2 1/2 inches wide,"

And that ~

"...such flags are flown indoors, ONLY in military courtrooms."

And further: "...the Gold Fringed Flag is not to be carried by anyone except units of the United States Army, and the United States Army division associations."

And, in support of this argument that the flag symbolizing the States is not the gold-fringed flag, we turn to 34 Ops. Atty Gen 483 and 485:

"The placing of a gold fringe on the national flag, the dimensions (military is square while national flag is a ration of 1.9 to 1) of the flag, and the arrangements of the stars in the union are matters of detail not controlled by statute, but are within the discretion of the President as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy...ancient custom sanctions the use of fringe on regimental colors and standards, but there seems to be no good reason or precedent for its use on other flags...the use of such a fringe is prescribed in current Army Regualtions, No. 260-10."

Army Regulation 260-10 states that the gold fringe may be used ONLY on regimental "colors," the President's flag, for military courts martial, and the flags used at military recruiting centers.

Even from the National Encyclopedia, Vol. 4, we get this:

"A military flag emblem of a nation, usually made of cloth and flown from a staff; FROM A MILITARY STANDPOINT flags are of two general classes...those flown from stationary masts over army posts, and those carried by troops in formation. The former are referred to by the general name of flags. The later are called colors when carried by dismounted troops. COLORS AND STANDARDS are more nearly square than flags and are made of silk, with a knotted FRINGE OF YELLOW ON THREE SIDES. . .USE OF A FLAG -- THE MOST GENERAL AND APPROPRIATE USE OF THE FLAG IS AS A NATIONAL SYMBOL OF AUTHORITY AND POWER." (My emphasis)

The gold fringe is a fourth color and not permitted by Title 4, Ss 1 and 2. It also mutilates the flag symbolizing the united States of America and suspends the Constitution whenever it is used. When one accepts this flag, it is acceptance of what it symbolizes, the military and military law, and not the common law of the Constitution for the United States of America.

Perhaps this writer has lost his ability to read and comprehend but doesn�t the above state clearly that the two flags are not symbols for the same thing? Intent and interpretation of the written law by a sovereign is all that means anything. Clearly, the intent is the fringed flag symbolizes Admiralty/military jurisdiction while the intent of the flag described by Title 4, Ss 1 and 2, is to symbolize the union of states, the country most of us lovingly call the �United States of America.� Decoration has nothing whatsoever to do with the symbolism in question; only the regs listed above do.

To sum this up, the flag in Title 4, Ss 1 and 2 symbolizes common law and all that is good about this nation while, for the most part, the fringed flag represents all that is evil, a state of the rights of people having been made subservient to the military and Admiralty law.

Folks, when you walk into a court that has a gold-fringed flag, you are standing as if on the deck of a ship at sea, or in a military court, in which your rights have been essentially removed. You aren�t told this nor are your rights as a sovereign protected as would be the case in a common law court. Thus, the many judges denying the Constitution as a means of defense are treasonous officials who should be set to sea to wallow in the deceit they have helped create.

The gold-fringed flag symbolizes the fact that you are being subjected to plenary rule � and you accepted it by responding to a fictitious identity, your name in all caps with the state in all caps, and allowed the proceeding to continue.

You volunteered yourself to be ruled over by a judge who in essence by your acceptance acquired the same powers as a ship�s captain. His rule is such that he may order death, imprisonment, unlawful fines, seizures of property, servitude to government or others, or any other measure he dictates in the quest to keep order on his �ship�.

Any symbol must be specific or it is not a symbol. The above from Title 4, the executive order, and Army regulations are specific regardless of erroneous interpretations made by people determined to undermine our liberty. Likewise, your name, your identity, is symbolized by the first letter of each name being capitalized. The rules of language from every source are exact on this.

Just as exact is the fact that the use of all caps is specific � it is a government acronym. Your name in all caps has to be an acronym for an unknown entity. It means nothing in fact unless you accept the strawman (fictitious) identity as your own. Any other interpretation is aiding in the deceits made by the government.

The rights of a sovereign, Joe C. Blow for example, are exactly as they have always been. But rights �belonging� to JOE C BLOW do NOT exist as this fictitious identity is under the plenary control of the US Government, his state government, his county government, and his city government. Joe C. Blow disavowed all his unalienable rights when he mistakenly succumbed and volunteered to be the �person� (also a created entity and not a sovereign or citizen of the united States of America), JOE C. BLOW, in whatever government document or act of subterfuge being responded to.

Now, here is the situation. Government created strawman identities for each of us sovereign citizens symbolized in all caps. It created fictitious federal enclaves in which the fictitious identity lives. It created Admiralty/military law jurisdiction in these fictitious federal enclaves.

Thus, the federal government imposed its plenary power which it has over the District of Columbia, States of the United States (Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Northern Marianna Islands), federal armories and military bases, and other federally owned property ceded by or purchased by the federal government from states of the union, on the federal shadow enclaves which the people of the many States have accepted through deceit and coercement.

JOE C BLOW of the STATE OF MISSOURI, abbreviated as MO, has no rights. He is a subject of the government. He is under the rule of government. He will be tried in courts that are symbolized by a gold-fringed flag, the flag of the military and Admiralty law. This law is as plenary in nature as any monarch�s edicts ever were.

However, Joe C. Blow of the State of (any Republic) has rights that cannot be denied by subservient government entities. The government is subject to him.

Experts in deceit, particularly those of the government or supporting the government, will state this writer is just some right-wing nut. This type of character assassination is one of the contributing causes for what has happened to this nation. The end result has been that deceit rules while truth is put down as just being the uttering of some deranged person.

Well, Folks, this writer is not deranged, nor is he bordering on schizophrenia. What he has done is study what is. Do the same and like conclusions should be reached, providing one does not do as many researchers do � try to prove their point even if it is invalid (most �research� supporting under color of law regulations, especially that done by lawyers).

So, what now?

Stop the deceptions, what else.
