      "body": "# LAW 101\n\nMost people do not know what the law is and where it comes from, i.e. who makes the law even though they think they do because of their government engineered ignorance. Understanding the law is a basic principle that directly affects our lives and so everyone should be aware of the basic facts. As it is commonly stated, ignorance of the law is no excuse (although ignorance and wrongful understanding purposely engineered by a corrupt deceitful government comes very close to an excuse). \n\nHere in the united States of America, the several States united to form one Union in the form of a Republic, there is no royalty or different classes of people (at least there is not supposed to be). We are all equal under the law. But what law?\n\n## Constitution\n\nWhen the American colonies (States) revolted from England and declared their independence in the Declaration of Independence, they established a new country and created a government by means of a constitution. The constitution defines the federal government and what it can do, and more importantly as stated in the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments), what it cannot do. Therefore the constitution does not apply to the people, it applies to the government and government possessions (which includes territories and legal fictions, i.e. businesses created/incorporated by the government). That is why only government employees are required to swear an oath to obey it and not violate any of the people’s rights as listed in the Bill of Rights.\n\nThe constitution states in Article III Section 2 Clause 3: \n\n     The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury;\n\n## What is a jury?\n\nA jury is a group of people who are the equals of the accused that will conduct the trial. By the way, there is no mention of a judge. So why doesn’t the constitution state a trial by Judge or some other officer of the government? All government employees are public servants and therefore not equal to those who they are paid to serve – the people. They are paid to perform specific services on behalf of the people and therefore granted limited permission, authority and consent from the people who possess and retain all the authority. Since the people are all equal and government employees are inferior to the people, the people can only be judged by other people on whether or not one of the people have committed a crime.\n\n## The law of the land\n\nSo what law does the jury follow in order to try someone? It depends on who is being tried. If a soldier was being tried for military crimes, the jury would follow military law. If a sailor was being tried for a crime at sea, the jury would follow Admiralty or Maritime Law – the military and merchant law of the sea, and so on. The only law that applies to people here in the American Republic is the common law, the law of the land. The 7th Amendment of the Bill of Rights states:\n \n     In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.\n\n## The Common Law\n\nMost people believe the common law is some antiquated system of law that no longer applies to them and that the written statutes created by the government are the only laws that have authority. They are wrong. The only law that applies to people is the unwritten common law because the common law is the common sense tradition of what is right and wrong that everyone can easily understand. In our Christian country, the principles of right and wrong come from the Bible – the 10 commandments. It is ridiculous to think that people must follow the millions of written statutes (which most people mistakenly believe are their laws) enacted by government legislatures that no one can hardly understand and created by our public servants who have no authority over the people and therefore no authority to write anything that applies to the people. It is equally ridiculous to think people must be required to hire expensive lawyers to follow these statutes and to receive justice. No one in their right mind would intentionally setup such a complicated, unfair and unjust system catered to the rich (except for the rich of course).\n\nA jury of people decides what the law is and whether a crime has been committed and what is just. The jury can consider whatever it wants and however it wants – all of which is none of the Judge’s business. How judges weaseled their way into common law courts is a mystery, but the courts of today are not common law courts. They are administrative courts of the government that only have authority over government employees and government possessions. They are the same as a corporate hearing for one of the corporate employees who violated one of the corporate rules. Therefore everyone being tried in today’s government courts are considered to be government employees or businesses or residing in government territory, i.e. the District of Columbia. \n\n## Authority of Legislative Statutes\n\nSo what about all of the “laws” (statutes) passed by the Federal Congress and the State Legislatures? We voted them into office to represent us, right? So the “laws” they create apply to us, right? Wrong! We voted them into office to run/govern the government, not us. We are self governing. No one tells us what to do and most certainly not our servants because we are a free people subject only to the common law. \n\nUnder the common law, we can do whatever we like as long as we are not hurting anyone else or their property, i.e. injuring anyone. That is why in order for there to be a crime or wrongdoing, there must be an injury (a tort in legalese). I cannot tell you what to do and you cannot tell me, because we are equal. Government employees are servants and not equal to the people so cannot tell the people, their masters, what people can and cannot do. So government statutes only apply to whoever the government has authority or jurisdiction over which is government employees and government possessions/creations. So what people think are their laws, are simply government statutes that only apply to government employees and government fictional commercial creations – businesses.\n\nFederal statutes only apply to Federal Government Employees, federally owned/created businesses and federally owned land. State statutes only apply to State Government Employees, state owned/created businesses and state owned land. This is why all statutes refer to persons (which includes legal fictions). You will not find a single statute that refers to people, men or women. A person can be a government position or office such as President, Governor, Mayor, Sheriff, road worker, etc., and can also be a corporation. These types of persons are referred to as legal fictions. People are natural persons. \n\nThe Federal Government may have jurisdiction or the State Government may have jurisdiction or neither may have jurisdiction (which is most often the case), but BOTH governments CANNOT have jurisdiction – one or the other or neither, but not both.\n\n     “It is no longer open to question that the general government, unlike the states, possesses no inherit power in respect of the internal affairs of the states, and emphatically not with regard to legislation.” \n– U.S. Supreme Court, Carter vs. Carter Coal Co., 298 U.S. 238 at 295 (1936)\n\nThe Federal government only has geographical jurisdiction over the District of Columbia and Federal territories which are outside of the united States of America. The only territory within a State where the Federal government has jurisdiction is federally owned land such as military bases, national parks, etc.\n\nBut let me be very clear. No government has jurisdiction over any of the people. The only time a government has jurisdiction over the people is when they are under arrest by a Peace Officer (Sheriff, Police, etc.) when a crime has been committed which means there must be an injured party. As long as you don’t hurt anyone else or damage anyone’s property (cause an injury), you can do whatever you want. If you can safely “speed” down the road or safely intoxicate yourself with whatever substance you desire and do not cause any injury, there has been no crime and its nobody else’s business – especially that of law enforcement as no law has been broken. Government statutes may have been violated, but if you are not a government employee and not commercially operating under a government created business, government statutes do not apply to you.\n\n##  Your Right to Remain Silent\n\nSo if you haven’t been arrested, you are not required to follow any orders from a police officer or answer any of their questions which purposely tempt you to incriminate yourself. Some people may argue, if you have nothing to hide, why not answer their questions. After all they have a hard and dangerous job arresting criminals. The problem is that if the police think you are guilty, even if you are innocent, they will do everything possible to gather information to wrongly convict you. \n\nFor example, let’s say the police are investigating a crime that happened at 8:00PM and begin to question you as a suspect. You voluntarily answer with what you think is your alibi stating you were having dinner with friends from 7 to 9PM and so think the matter is closed. The next thing you know, you are arrested and convicted of the crime that now happened at 10PM thanks to the information you supplied to the police enabling them to change the time to when you didn’t have an alibi. Many innocent people have gone to prison simply because they naively cooperated with the police.\n\nKeep in mind that the police can legally, and often do, lie to suspects in order to gain information for a conviction. Even if the police do not manipulate anything, you can still be convicted by your honest statements to the police. For instance, I heard of a case where a man’s ex-wife was murdered while he was out of town one weekend. Unfortunately, even though he was out of town, he was alone in his hunting cabin in the mountains so had no corroborating witness. The police had no suspects, but immediately upon learning the victim was recently divorced, went to question the ex-husband who could not be found, so believing he had fled they put out an APB (All Points Bulletin – If you have you seen this man, contact the police, as he is wanted for questioning in the murder... and so on...). Meanwhile, a \"helpful\" eyewitness testified she saw the man in town at a gas station within an hour of the murder. It is well-known by law enforcement that the memories of many eyewitnesses are very unreliable. Because of this lady’s desire to help the police convict the suspected murderer, she convinced herself she saw the man which was untrue. Unfortunately, she was an unimpeachable witness, i.e. she didn’t know anybody involved in the case so had no apparent reason to lie. Her statement alone is meaningless as it is not evidence of any crime. However, since it contradicted the man’s statement that he was out of town when questioned by police, he was eventually convicted because the jury believed the only reason for him to lie about being out of town was that he was guilty. So the man’s true statement which should have exonerated him actually ended up convicting him. If he would’ve remained silent, he would’ve never even been arrested much less gone to trial because the eyewitness statement alone was meaningless. \n\nNever willingly talk to the police. Always stand on your right to remain silent as protected under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution for the United States.  You can never know the true agenda of police questions (they are allowed to lie) and how your answers to their questions may be used to falsely incriminate you.\n\n## Government Fraud\n\nSo how does the government apply their statutes to us? Besides the obvious answer that they are lying criminal traitors, they technically do it by several means in a complicated web of deceit that you must venture further down the rabbit hole to understand. Their main method is by treating us as U.S. citizens. We are state Citizens. U.S. citizens (which did not even exist until created by the 14th amendment in 1868) are residents of the District of Columbia and therefore under the jurisdiction of the federal government, i.e. national citizens as they are called in the Supreme Court case below.\n\n     “There is a clear distinction between national citizenship and state citizenship.” \n–Tahiro v Jordan, 278 US 123 (1928)\n\nU.S. citizens reside outside of the USA in the District of Columbia and therefore are not protected by the constitution.\n\n     “The privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States do not necessarily include all the rights protected by the first eight amendments to the Federal constitution against the powers of the Federal government.” \n–Maxwell v. Dow, 176 US 581 (1900)\n\nThe people are only subject to the common law per the 7th Amendment of the Bill of Rights of the constitution as quoted above and as we now know, none of the government statutes refer to people, men or women – only persons – government fictions, i.e. government employees and government created businesses. We the people do NOT need permission (usually in the form of licenses) from the government, our servants, for anything we do. Whereas the government needs permission from the people for everything that it does. We the people do not need licenses for anything we do and we can lawfully do whatever we want as long as we do not injure anyone else per the common law – the traditional common sense of right and wrong. We are the sovereigns of America and the government employees are our servants.\n\n      “The words \"people of the United States\" and \"citizens\" are synonymous terms and mean the same thing. They both describe the political party who, according to our republic institutions form the sovereignty, and who hold the power, and conduct the government through their representatives. They are what we familiarly call the sovereign people, and every citizen is one of this people, and a constituent member of the sovereignty.” \n–Dredd Scott v Sandford, 60 US 404 (1856)\n\nUnfortunately, the government fraudulently created fictitious “persons” in our names, i.e. all caps fictions via our birth certificates that are U.S. citizens without constitutional rights and under the jurisdiction of the government. Our name in all caps is our corporate fictitious business name as it is typed and registered on our birth certificates. This is done so the courts can treat us as corporate agents or representatives and therefore legally deny us our constitutionally protected rights. \n\n     “Quoting, United States vs White, 322 U.S. 694 (1944) But individuals, when acting as representatives of a collective group [corporation], cannot be said to be exercising their personal rights and duties, nor be entitled to their purely personal privileges. Rather they assume the rights, duties and privileges of the artificial entity or association of which they are agents or officers and they are bound by its obligations.” \n–Brasswell v. United States 487 U.S. 99 (1988)\n\nGet out a powerful magnifying glass and look at the signature line on your personal bank checks. There is a small MP above the line on the right which stands for Micro Print. The line is actually the words \"Authorized Signature\" repeated over and over. Why? These words are obviously printed on commercial checks. So, the micro print below your signature says you are authorized to sign for your corporation – your legal person – who’s all caps name is printed on your checks. If the micro printed \"Authorized Signature\" has nothing to do with a hidden agenda as many ignorant sheep will argue, then why is it printed that way? They obviously don’t want you to know.  Your legal person is a creation of the state and therefore subject to their statutes and jurisdiction. \n\n      “the corporation is a creature of the state. … It receives certain special privileges and franchises, and holds them subject to the laws of the state and the limitations of its charter. … While an individual may lawfully refuse to answer incriminating questions … it does not follow that a corporation, vested with special privileges and franchises, may refuse…” \n–Hale v. Henkel, 201 US 43 (1906)\n\nAll of this was done without our knowledge and consent and is therefore null and void, but unfortunately if the people do not object, they acquiesce (agree) by their silence. The government has gotten so thoroughly crooked, that when the few knowledgeable people do object, they are criminally ignored, fined and/or falsely imprisoned and in some cases even murdered.\n\n##  Why the Fraud?\n\nThe reason why the government is so corrupt is the same old story – greed, power, New World Order banker stuff. The Rothschild Bank of England took control of England’s money and wanted control of America’s money too. That is why the colonies revolted and formed the republic.\n\n     “The colonies would gladly have bourne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The inability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and international bankers was the PRIME reason for the Revolutionary War.” \n–Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography\n\n## Solution\n\nAs I see it, the only solution is in numbers. Enough people have to learn the truth and stand up to the government goons (most of which are ignorant willing participants). That is the only thing the corrupt powers that be fear is that too many people will learn the truth before they take our guns. Because if enough people do learn the truth, then all of the traitorous politicians, bureaucrats and judges will be hanging from their government buildings like so many Christmas tree ornaments.   \n\nTo travel further down the rabbit hole, read my free novel 2099.",

      "title": "Why isn’t QE working?",
      "body": "# Why isn’t QE working?\n\nThe simple answer is that Quantitative Easing (QE) is working as planned; it’s just that it is not working as advertised to the brainwashed masses. Just to be clear, the advertised purpose of QE is that it originally was supposed to boost the economy by injecting money into it by the Federal Reserve (Fed – a privately owned central bank) buying back treasury bonds from banks who would then lend the cash back into the economy making more money for the banks while expanding the money supply (though banks don’t actually lend anything, they create loaned money out of thin air – another blog). These loans to people and businesses would be spent into the economy buying company products thereby increasing company sales, profits, etc. Recent QE versions have the Fed also buying corporate bonds, etc., accompanied with loans to banks at virtually zero interest rates, but the advertised principle is still the same.\n\n## So what is actually currently happening? \n\nThe money is not being loaned back into the economy. The banks are using the money to shore up their required reserves which have been depleted during this depression (yes we are in a depression – the government fudges the numbers to pretend we are not) and like other corporations are buying back their own stock to boost share prices. In addition to banks supposedly lending out this newly acquired money, other corporations would supposedly invest QE money into capital expenditures boosting manufacturing, sales and profits. I state supposedly, because it is not happening. The QE money is being used to retire debt and buy back company shares of stock.\n\n## So why do CEOs use the money to buy back company stock? \n\nBuying large quantities of shares of company stock artificially boosts the share price which makes shareholders happy and the CEOs rich. CEOs usually get bonuses in the form of stock options. Options give the right to buy shares at a certain price (strike price). When the company issues these options to the CEOs they are usually at the current share price, so are not worth anything when issued except for the fact that they can be held and exercised in the future up until their expiration date when the share price is hopefully higher than the strike price. This is supposed to be a performance incentive for the CEO to increase the business value and therefore the share price. When the share price increases, the CEO makes the profit of the difference in the share price and strike price times the number of options. However, CEOs knowing we are in a depression and any increase in production will not be sold and simply increase inventory, they instead buyback shares to increase the price and make themselves rich while actually decreasing the value of the company. The inflated share price will eventually crash back down and the company will be left with a loss, but only after the CEOs have cashed out their options and made their millions.\n\n## So why does the Fed do QE?\n\nFor the same reason they bailed out the banks in 2008 with the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Because they are crooks! QE also makes the members of the Fed rich who own these stocks and so collude with their CEO buddies. Also, it makes the rest of us poorer, more in debt and thus more enslaved to them. To quote George Carlin, “They own this f**king place. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it!”",
