Re: Straw man
Yes that's what I'm talking about. I often read or watch things by people explaining this stuff and say to myself, I wish they'd explain it better. They assume we already know these things they're talking about and don't explain it very well. I'm guilty as charged I guess. I'm sorry.
You were asking T how to explain the strawman to your neighbors. I've been explaining it to people at work lately, and it seems to work most of the time. So I'll tell you what I've been telling them. Some of it may not be true, I don't think anyone knows the full truth, but it gets the point across.
I usually start the conversation with me having to go to court for another speeding ticket and I'm going to pull a trick on them to get out of it. They know I've done it before so they listen. Everybody wants to know how to get out of tickets.
You start with, Every ticket has your name in all capitol letters on it. Just like every bill you get from a business or anything a government agency and the court. That's your all caps name and is what is called a legal fiction or a strawman. That "person" is not you. You are your upper and lower case name that you sign on those documents.
Now there's a way to seperate yourself from that all caps name called the UCC-1 form which you can get from the state and have them certify is true. It's all legal and I have one on line that you can view. And on this document it says I'm not that all caps name; I'm the upper and lower case name and that all caps name is a trust and a transmitting utility. It also says I own all the propety that all caps name owns. That makes me a secured party creditor and the all caps name a debtor.
Here's a edited copy of my certified UCC-1 form, so you see how it's filed out and what it looks like.
So when you go to court you can basically say I'm hear to let you know you sent a letter to a legal fiction which can't appear before the court, have a nice day. And there's nothing they can do about it because you have the document from the state proving it.
Now there's a way to take this whole thing one step further.
What if you get waay behind on your bills and they want to take you to court for the money? Same thing. The bills are in your all caps name right?
Even your birth certificate is in all caps. That's because from the moment you were born, the state estimates how much money you will make in your lifetime and sets up a trust in your name for that amount. It's usually in the millions because most people will earn that much in their lifetime.
Then the state sends that trust account to the US Treasury, and the Treasury keeps keeps it and collects interest on those millions for all those years. The account usually winds up being worth a few hundred million. Everyone has one.
Now remember when the government took all our gold and silver in 1933? Ever since then there has been no money, only notes. We have treasury notes, which is what we call money or cash. And we have checks, and credit cards which are all promissary notes. The system is bankrupt, there is no money; only credit and debt. You want to be on the credit side. A secured creditor proved by your UCC. Well for taking all the gold and silver, the government agreed to pay all your debt dollar for dollar.
There are a bunch of documents you can fill out just like the UCC-1 form and file them at the courthouse, the US Treasury, the IRS and so on that allows you to access this account.
You set up the account for 100 billion dollars and have the government pay for all your debt. You can't use it as cash or money or you'll go straight to jail. But you can use it to pay off your house, car, student loans and so on. You can also pay your utilities bills with it. You can write what is called a bonded promissory note to the power company for let's say 10 million dollars and have "free" power for the rest of your life. You can write a note to your credit card company for 100 million and have a 100 million dollar line of credit with them; and you can buy anything with a credit card.
By then, most people are saying let's do it. So I'm going to try and set up a meeting with all these people where I can show them all this stuff and eventually have what is called a bond party. That's where we all sign each others documents. Because each person has to have what is called two sureties sign their documents. Basically these sureties have to be other people doing this because the surety has to have equal financial value. If your documents are for 100 billion, the surety has to be worth that much too to sign your indemnity bond.
Anyway, that's how I explain it to others and have had only a couple that get the deer in the headlights look and walk away.
