Corporate Agents Create False “Emergency”; Falsely Arrest and Kidnap Two American Diplomats on Embassy Land
Childersburg, Alabama. Last Saturday, the seventh day of the eighth month, A.D. 2010, at about 10:15 p.m., Cpl. John Luke Benefield, a paramilitary agent (a/k/a "police officer") armed with deadly force, invaded the peaceful grounds of an embassy here, creating a false emergency.
The incident began simply enough. Benefield, an employee of the corporate CITY OF CHILDERSBURG, drove up behind a civilian automobile and turned on his service vehicle’s blue emergency lights. The man at the wheel of the private car had just arrived at his own driveway, and he pulled off the road to let Benefield proceed to the emergency. Instead the agent continued to follow him. Benefield may not have known it, but at that moment he left his own jurisdiction and entered not only private land but a foreign embassy.
The foreign agent’s behavior alarmed the men in the private automobile. Unarmed and innocent of any crime, they had been peaceably traveling home after attending a fellowship meeting and celebrating the Sabbath. Each of them, Gary-Wayne and Michael-Donald, is a judge on the Republic of Alabama, A.D. 1819, and serves as a diplomat of the united States of America, as amended A.D. 1791. Both of those venues lie outside Cpl. Benefield's jurisdiction. (The CITY OF CHILDERSBURG—D-U-N-S® [Dun and Bradstreet] number 80-779-5187—is an arm of the corporate-municipal complex. It possesses no lawful authority over any flesh-and-blood man or woman on the Republic. See note #1 at the end of the article.)
In the first place, then, Cpl. Benefield’s uninvited entry onto Judge Gary-Wayne’s private land and foreign embassy in a paramilitary cruiser was a trespass. But then the corporal stepped out of his service vehicle, and the two, law-abiding judges could see even in the late-night darkness that he was armed with deadly force. Immediately displaying a hostile intent, his threatening presence then escalated to much more than a trespass onto the judge’s private property; it became an invasion.
This armed, unexplained, and unwarranted trespass and invasion onto foreign soil caused the judges to begin to fear for their lives. Nonetheless, Judge Gary-Wayne calmly and quietly informed him of the two men’s standing and capacity on the Republic. He also informed him that the Republic jurisdiction is foreign to the corporate CITY OF CHILDERSBURG.
Cpl. Benefield’s response, however, was surly. He demanded that Judge Gary-Wayne provide the sort of identification document that he was used to and that municipal corporations routinely require of their citizens: a "driver license." The judge is a diplomat foreign to the CITY OF CHILDERSBURG and ALABAMA corporations; he is not required to carry or even own such an ID. He immediately informed Benefield that the agent lacked jurisdiction over him, but he also patiently explained, page by page, each of his lawfully recorded documents that evidence his standing and capacity as a foreign diplomat, his lawful ownership of his private automobile, and his expatriation from the corporate STATE OF ALABAMA and UNITED STATES.
The corporate corporal refused to honor even these lawful, supporting documents, however, despite their being properly witnessed and recorded. The papers clearly show that the judge is who he says he is: the lawful owner of his private automobile, that he lives outside the corporate U.S., and that he has the standing and capacity of a foreign diplomat. Specifically, the judge reviewed with Cpl. Benefield each page of his Transfer of Covenant of Stewardship for the automobile (an upgraded, common-law equivalent of a bill of sale), his Statement of Government Venue and Jurisdiction, Identification of Automobile Plate, ambassador identification (complete with apostille) and ambassador badge, Toral* Trust Deed establishing his land as an embassy, Oath of Truth, and his Reference to Law and Pledge of Allegiance.
Standing on foreign, private land where he had no authority, he nonetheless proceeded falsely to accuse the judge of "driving" a "vehicle" without a "legal" tag, a driver license, or insurance and of providing false information. The other judge witnessed, however, that in fact Judge Gary-Wayne had cooperated with agent Benefield in good faith and had given him complete and truthful information.
(In addition, the judge’s automobile bears a car sign—instead of a corporate "license plate"—that was properly and lawfully recorded in A.D. 2007 and has been displayed on the automobile ever since. Other agents of corporate-municipal entities have long accepted this car sign as valid identification for the automobile.)
Despite the judge’s offering quiet, peaceful explanations and proofs, the paramilitary corporal ignored them and summoned four more armed enforcement agents to the scene.
By pronouncing his non-professional opinions on the judge’s statements and documents, Cpl. Benefield erred further: he presumed to practice law, also without authority and while standing on a foreign venue and jurisdiction. When he later instigated legal proceedings based on these false assumptions, this corporate agent abused not only the God-given rights of the two judge-diplomats but also the due legal process of his own, corporate court system.
Soon four more service vehicles joined the invasion of the embassy, their blue lights flashing, and aggravated the tense confrontation and false "emergency condition." These additional corporate agents included Lt. Scott Johns, Investigator Doug Wesson, and Officer Matt Johnson, all of whom were armed with deadly force. Soon afterward a Sgt. Kevin Koss arrived.
As Judge Michael-Donald watched in dismay, Benefield handcuffed Judge Gary-Wayne but failed to state that he was under arrest or read him the Miranda warning: "You have the right to remain silent," etc. (Yet, enforcement agents in the corporate jurisdiction are required to do so if they plan to use an arrested person’s statements in court.)
Sgt. Koss, also armed with deadly force, then approached Judge Michael-Donald, who was a guest in the other judge’s privately owned automobile. The sergeant demanded that the judge-diplomat identify himself. Like his companion, Judge Michael-Donald immediately cooperated with his questioner, providing his lawful, Christian appellation. Koss, however, accused him of giving false information, and Lt. Johns ordered him to exit the "vehicle." When the judge politely replied that he was not a party to their offers to contract, Lt. Johns brutally dragged him from the private automobile, threw him face-down in the dirt, and accused him of "resisting arrest."
Despite documentation that they were on foreign soil, the agents presumed to act as though they were in their own jurisdiction. Grave defects in their training and education created grave errors in their conduct. Just as Cpl. Benefield had failed to state that he was arresting Judge Gary-Wayne, so Lt. Johns had neglected to inform Judge Michael-Donald of that fact. The lieutenant also failed to warn the judge before assaulting him that he felt he was "resisting." He physically restrained Judge Michael-Donald without reciting him the Miranda warning, just as Benefield had done to the other judge-diplomat. (In Miranda v. Arizona 384 U.S. 436 (1966), the Supreme Court of the United States mandated the use of the warning in such situations.) Therefore, since both the corporal and the lieutenant neglected to read the warning, a serious question of wrongful intent arises: Could these corporate agents have been trained so poorly that they were ignorant of their duty under Miranda? Or did they have no intention of bringing any lawful complaint against the two diplomats—but merely to harm and harass them?
The abuses of process continued: Example: While restraining the two men in handcuffs, paramilitary sergeant Koss proceeded to create a written report of the incident. In doing so, he used false names and ID numbers ("driver license" and Social Security numbers) to identify his captives. Example: At no time during the incident did any agent allege that either judge-diplomat had caused an injury to any man, woman, child, or property. (As anyone familiar with the common law knows, actual damage must exist to justify the infringement, even for a moment, of a man’s God-given and constitutionally guaranteed right to liberty.) Example: The agents assumed that they had jurisdiction over the judge-diplomats, yet none of them alleged any actual fact or act showing that either judge was operating in commerce or was obligated to perform on any contract with the CITY OF CHILDERSBURG or STATE OF ALABAMA.
After the lieutenant, the sergeant, and their armed men had kidnapped the two diplomats from the Americans’ embassy to the CITY OF CHILDERSBURG enforcement-agents base (a/k/a "police station"), Sgt. Koss demanded that Judge Michael-Donald surrender his fingerprints and sign documents which would create a contract between the judge and the corporation. The judge informed Koss that he did not consent to contract. Thereupon this paramilitary sergeant threatened the judge: if he refused to provide his personal, biological identifiers, he warned, he would order the judge transported to the Talladega County warehousing facility ("jail") and held there without bail.
Having already suffered such lawless coercion, threats, and actual assault and battery, Judge Michael-Donald at last signed the documents containing the false information Koss had written about him. Knowing both the spiritual and legal consequences of bearing false witness, however, he protected himself. Instead of merely signing his name, he wrote, "Michael-Donald, a man, under threats, duress and coercion, and all rights retained." Then he drew a box on the form, surrounding just his signature. In this way he indicated that the only information he was authenticating was the item in the box: his signature itself. (This use of a box also serves to make a signature "disappear" off the page for legal purposes.) Judge Gary-Wayne followed the same procedure.
No amount of reason or persuasion availed to free the two captives. This again suggests that "law" had nothing to do with the agents’ actions, only force and extortion. During the course of the encounter, Judge Michael-Donald carefully informed paramilitary enforcement agents Benefield, Koss, and Johnson that he is an elected diplomat, court clerk, and judge on a foreign jurisdiction. At the agents’ base, Judge Gary-Wayne again explained, page-by-page, each of his lawfully recorded documents regarding his standing and capacity as a foreign diplomat, his private automobile, and his lawful expatriation. Nevertheless, agents Koss and Benefield squeezed a ransom of more than $1,050.00 in Federal Reserve Notes out of the two judge-diplomats before freeing them.
At no time during the ordeal did any of these corporate, paramilitary agents provide either man with a citation alleging any wrongdoing—and at this writing (six days later), all of them have still failed to do so. This further failure to comply with their own standard operating procedure and due process of law strongly indicates that these "law-enforcement" agents of the corporation dreamed up the entire incident merely to harass and intimidate the two judge-diplomats, not "to serve and protect" any of the true interests of law, justice, or the local people of Childersburg.
Notes:
1) The CITY OF CHILDERSBURG is a legal fiction that was incorporated in 1889. It is legally and factually different from Childersburg, Alabama, "America's oldest continuously occupied city," which claims a history dating from 1540. The city is inhabited by living, flesh-and-blood men, women, and children, most of whom are unaware that the corporation has conducted a hostile takeover of their local government and usurped the name of their historic community.
2) On the surface this entire incident might seem like a routine "traffic stop" for "no license plates, driver license, registration, or insurance." But the agents’ dogged resistance to the judges’ explanations—and worse, their brutal treatment of the two men in the complete absence of any injury, or even a suggestion of any injury—must make any reasonable man or woman question their personal motives, intake screening, job training, and corporate agenda.
3) The enforcement-agents page of the CITY OF CHILDERSBURG website (http://www.childersburg.org/PoliceDepartment.htm) shows a total of only 11 regular duty officers excluding the chief. If this picture gallery accurately represents the number of men under arms there, nearly half of them took part in this false arrest and kidnapping. (Sgt. Koss apparently joined the force after the site was last updated last March 10.) These numbers might lead one to ask not only, "Who decided to allocate so large a contingent of the meager resources of this small force to deal with two unarmed, peaceful men—and why?" but also, "If this was a merely routine traffic stop, why did a lieutenant and an investigator believe that their presence was needed?" and "Why was it a senior officer (Lt. Johns) who chose to assault and batter Judge Michael-Donald?" Right now, the Post has more questions than answers.
