Furthermore, why would a country who possess the legal and Constitutional authority to coin their own legal tender need a credit bureau???
Honor93... you are on the right track. Keep digging. This is the deepest rabbit hole in the history of mankind.
And yes, the Republic our founders started has been reseated. They have calls you can get in on to ask questions. They also have informational meetings if you want to discuss things in person.
As stated earlier, What products and services does a circuit court have to sell?
In one of our city buildings we used to have the City Attorney. The placard on the door says---CORPORATION COUNSEL. -----Corporation, not government. Corporations are in commerce. Commerce is ruled by the Uniform Commercial Code. This is not difficult. Although it can be very time consuming.edit on 23-1-2013 by Bildo because: (no reason given)
They haven't even bothered to pass a budget contrary to black letter law in the Constitution itself. Why would UCC filings mean much? He's executive Branch. He could technically disband whatever handles UCC filings entirely and slap his hands together as he walks out chuckling.

If you've studied the issue in depth for over 20 years, you'd be well versed on what the Freemen on the Land Movement is. Their actions are based mostly on many of the things that are argued in this thread and on the links provided in it - the US being a corporation, creation of a straw man, legal definitions of a person, etc, etc.
Killing the myth that the US exists solely as a corporation goes a long way in dealing the death blow to this whole movement. Supporters run with United States Code Title 28, Part IV, Chapter 176, Subchapter A, saying "Look! Look! This means we're a Federal Corporation!" But the fact is that a corporation can exist as a private business, a non-profit, or a government ... there is no singular definition that defines which.
Listen, if you dont want to pay taxes, or you want to raise your fist and scream "FIGHT THE POWER!", go right ahead. But misleading others into believing that they can get away with it and not have a worry about suffering any consequences is both unethical and unfunny.

I don't know if you are referring to me about "not wanting to pay taxes", but that wasn't the issue. If I am liable for a tax I'll pay the tax. If you enjoy paying taxes, that's fine with me. But I will not pay a tax if I am not liable for it. A friend told me to take my UCC-1 to my employer. I did it to prove him wrong. I proved myself wrong. If you are too scared to make your life better, then don't. I told everyone what I did, and what the results were. I found out I'm not the first to do this, many have.
And that brings up another issue --there is no lawful money to pay debts at law. You can not use a fiat currency to "pay" anything. FRN's are debt notes. Read "Modern Money Mechanics" by the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank.
Do you own your car? No, you don't. You have a "Certificate of Title". Sooo, who has the actual title?
Biiiiig rabbit hole!

True! Now put on your thinking cap for a moment... Why then does a "government" need to codify and organize under the articles of incorporation? What is to be gained by a government entity entering into such a formalized arrangement when simple Common Law could easily cover the governance of such an operation? What is the "benefit"???
Quite awhile ago a friend of mine was pulled over by a state trooper. My friend handed the trooper his UCC-1, the trooper looked at it and said, "Hey, you're pre-1933, have a good day". And that was that. Made me do a bunch of digging to see what's up with that. Found out the courts, and everything, are all in commerce.

Exactly! Common Law has been codified into statutes under UCC. This is part of the web designed to both deceive and entrap. There is no beating the system without defeating the system. It is as tight as a drum!

I'm sure that there are reasons for it, although I am not one that can just spit them out like they were second nature. But the reasons for it (good ones or bad ones, doesnt matter) are irrelevant.

Oh, I beg to differ. It matters a GREAT deal! If you are unwilling to do the work required to understand why it matters, then I am at a loss to help you. As Veritas pointed out, you are experiencing cognitive dissonance - which is normal when first encountering this.
By your own admission, you have chosen to live in the Matrix. Just remember, your "reality" is NOT real!
Thank you. That's it exactly. I am not a 14th Ammendment citizen. I also demanded ALL contracts with THEM be put on the table so I could contest them. I refused the "benefit" of citizenship in their corporate democracy. I'm in the Republic. Most people have no clue what it means to be a "US citizen". You aren't born that way, you contract in to it. And benefits are not always a positive thing, they are, nowadays, mostly negative.

Bingo! No more Allodial Title. Under the 14th Amendment you are entitled to the benefits of citizenship, but in exchange for the use of said benefits you are contractually obligated to fulfill their requirements. One of which is the surrender of all personal property. They don't confiscate it, of course. That would blow the illusion. They let you use it and create conditions and restrictions regarding its use.
"Driving" is a perfect example. "Driving" is an act of commerce under UCC and requires licensing, regulating and taxing. However, "Travelling" is a Constitutionally guaranteed right. The conflict comes in when a.) The Constitution has been suspended, b.) People willingly enter into a contract with the state to "Drive" and c.) Subject themselves willingly to the contractual terms outlined therein - in other words, you signed it all away!
