Free Online Law Dictionary -- Legal definition of Negative averment
'NEGATIVE AVERMENT, pleading, evidence. An averment in some of the pleadings in a case in which a negative is asserted. It is a general rule, established for the purpose of shortening and facilitating investigations, that the point in issue is to be proved by the party who asserts the affirmative; 1 Phil. Ev. 184; Bull N. P. 298; but as this rule is not founded on any presumption of law in favor of the party, but is merely a rule of practice and convenience, it, ceases in all cases when the presumption of law is thrown into the opposite scale.' -- I thought otherwise but I could be wrong.

Wikipedia -- Offer and acceptance
'Offer and acceptance analysis is a traditional approach in contract law used to determine whether an agreement exists between two parties. Agreement consists of an offer by an indication of one person (the "offeror") to another (the "offeree") of the offeror's willingness to enter into a contract on certain terms without further negotiations. A contract is said to come into existence when acceptance of an offer (agreement to the terms in it) has been communicated to the offeror by the offeree and there has been consideration bargained-for induced by promises or a promise and performance. Treitel defines an offer as "an expression of willingness to contract on certain terms, made with the intention that it shall become binding as soon as it is accepted by the person to whom it is addressed", the "offeree". An offer is a statement of the terms on which the offeror is willing to be bound. It is the present contractual intent to be bound by a contract with definite and certain terms communicated to the offeree. The "expression" referred to in the definition may take different forms, such as a letter, newspaper, fax, email and even conduct, as long as it communicates the basis on which the offeror is prepared to contract. -- If the offeree rejects the offer, the offer has been destroyed and cannot be accepted at a future time. [Also, an offer is destroyed a counter offer.] The "mirror image rule" states that if you are to accept an offer, you must accept an offer exactly, without modifications; if you change the offer in any way, this is a counter-offer that kills the original offer. It should be noted that a mere inquiry (about terms of an offer) is not a counter offer and leaves the offer intact.' -- That's really interesting, tell me more.

Wikipedia -- Estoppel in English law
'Estoppel in English law is a doctrine that may be used in certain situations to prevent a person from relying upon certain rights, or upon a set of facts (e.g. words said or actions performed) which is different from an earlier set of facts. #Promissory estoppel is the doctrine that prevents a party from acting in a certain way because the first party promised not to, and the second party relied on that promise and acted upon it. In English law, a promise made without consideration is generally not enforceable, and is known as a gratuitous promise. For example, a car salesman promises not to sell a car over the weekend, but does so, the promise cannot be enforced. If however, the car salesman accepts one penny in consideration for the promise, the promise is binding and enforceable in court. Estoppel is one of the exceptions to this rule. Promissory estoppel requires (1) an unequivocal promise by words or conduct, (2) a change in position of the promisee as a result of the promise (not necessarily to their detriment), (3) inequity if the promisor were to go back on the promise. Estoppel is "a shield not a sword" – it cannot be used as the basis of an action on its own. It also does not extinguish rights. -- #Estoppel by acquiescence: The doctrine of estoppel by acquiescence may prevail when Party A makes legal notice to Party B of Party A's assertion of a fact or legal principle or claim, and Party B fails to refute, reply to, or to defend (within "a reasonable period of time") against said claim. In this circumstance, Party B is said to have acquiesced to the claim or position taken by Party A, and by acquiescence, generally is considered to have lost the legal right to make a counterclaim.'

Virginia Injury Attorney Blog -- Virginia Estoppel In Pais – a Lawyer’s Equity
'Sometimes an unscrupulous adversary lulls another into a false sense of security and inaction, and then seeks to capitalize on technicalities implicated thereby, such as time deadlines missed by the unsuspecting victim. Fortunately Virginia courts are empowered to resolve such injustices based on equity instead of on legal technicalities. “Courts of equity will not permit a party by his or her words and conduct to manipulate judicial proceedings in a manner that will work an injustice by inducing the adverse party not to defend the cause. Estoppel by conduct, whereby a party will not be heard to deny that which he has induced others to rely upon as true, extends without limit throughout the law.” Emrich v. Emrich, 9 Va. App. 288, 293-294 (1989).' -- Consequences will never be the same.

Punishment and Proportionality: The Estoppel Approach by Stephan Kinsella (PDF)
'Dialogical Estoppel: As can be seen, the heart of the idea behind legal estoppel is the idea of consistency. A similar concept, “dialogical estoppel,” can be used to justify the libertarian conception of rights, because of the reciprocity inherent in the libertarian tenet that force is legitimate only in response to force. The basic insight behind this theory of rights is that a person cannot consistently object to being punished if he has himself initiated force. He is (dialogically) “estopped” from asserting the impropriety of the force used to punish him, because of his own coercive behavior. This theory also establishes the validity of the libertarian conception of rights as being strictly negative rights against aggression, the initiation of force. The point where punishment needs to be justified is when we attempt to inflict punishment upon a person who opposes the punishment. Thus, using a philosophical, generalized version of “dialogical” estoppel, I want to justify punishment in just this situation, by showing that an aggressor is estopped from objecting to his punishment. Under the principle of dialogical estoppel, or simply estoppel for short, a person is estopped from making certain claims during discourse if these claims are inconsistent and contradictory. To say that a person is estopped from making certain claims means that the claims cannot even possibly be right, because they are contradictory. It is to recognize that his assertion is simply wrong because it is contradictory. Applying estoppel in such a manner perfectly complements the very purpose of dialogue. Dialogue, discourse, or argument—terms which are used interchangeably herein—is by its nature an activity aimed at finding truth. Anyone engaged in argument is necessarily endeavoring to discern the truth about some particular subject; to the extent this is not the case, there is no dialogue occurring, but mere babbling or even physical fighting. Nor can this be denied. Anyone engaging in argument long enough to deny that truth is the goal of discourse contradicts himself, because he is himself asserting or challenging the truth of a given proposition. Thus, the assertion as true of anything that simply cannot be true is incompatible with the very purpose of discourse. Anything that cannot be true is contrary to the truth-finding purpose of discourse, and thus is not permissible within the bounds of the discourse. And contradictions are certainly the archetype of propositions that cannot be true. A and not-A cannot both be true at the same time and in the same respect. This is why participants in discourse must be consistent. If an arguer need not be consistent, truth-finding cannot occur. And just as the traditional legal theory of estoppel mandates a sort of consistency in a legal context, the more general use of estoppel can be used to require consistency in discourse. The theory of estoppel that I propose is nothing more than a convenient way to apply the requirement of consistency to arguers, to those engaged in discourse, dialogue, debate, discussion, or argument. Because discourse is a truth-finding activity, any such contradictory claims should be disregarded, they should not be heard, since they cannot possibly be true. Dialogical estoppel is thus a rule of discourse that rules out of bounds any inconsistent, mutually contradictory claims, because they are contrary to the very goal of discourse. This rule is based solely on the recognition that discourse is a truth-seeking activity and that contradictions, which are necessarily untrue, are incompatible with discourse and thus should not be allowed. The validity of this rule is undeniable, because it is necessarily presupposed by any participant in discourse.'

Against Woman Suffrage by Lysander Spooner [cached]
'Women are human beings, and consequently have all the natural rights that any human beings can have. They have just as good a right to make laws as men have, and no better; AND THAT IS JUST NO RIGHT AT ALL. No human being, nor any number of human beings, have any right to make laws, and compel other human beings to obey them. To say that they have is to say that they are the masters and owners of those of whom they require such obedience. The only law that any human being can rightfully be compelled to obey is simply the law of justice. And justice is not a thing that is made, or that can be unmade, or altered, by any human authority. It is a natural principle, inhering in the very nature of man and of things. This natural principle, which we will call justice, and which assigns to each and every human being, is, I repeat, not a thing that is made, but is a matter of science to be learned, like mathematics, or chemistry, or geology. And all the laws, so called, that men have ever made, either to create, define, or control the rights of individuals, were intrinsically just as absurd and ridiculous as would be laws to create, define, or control mathematics, or chemistry, or geology.'

Hustle Bear -- How To Handle Lawyers Threatening You
'A threatening attorney must be made to realize that his life is much better returned to intimidating average people. He should want nothing to do with you. You are the pig who enjoys getting dirty. When your name is mentioned to him, it should trigger a recurring nightmare and sudden stomach pain. Remember, attorneys do not want legal problems resolved. Resolution of conflicts dries up his billable hours. He wants as much chaos and destruction as possible. That way he becomes more important. However, it’s amazing how despite a tolerance for causing pain for others he will usually have a very low tolerance for pain himself. Most attorneys have no balls. I make sure I don’t seem like I’m crazy and emotional, I seem crazy and deliberate. No one wants to get into a legal fight with someone who’s crazy and deliberate.' -- I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

State or Private Law Society by Hans-Hermann Hoppe
'...it is not possible to insure oneself against every conceivable "risk." Rather, it is only possible to insure oneself against "accidents," i.e., risks over whose outcome the insured has no control and to which he contributes nothing. ...the un-insurability of individual actions and sentiments (in contradistinction to accidents) implies that it is also impossible to insure oneself against the risk of damages resulting from one’s own prior aggression or provocation. Further, due to the same reasons and financial concerns, insurers will tend to require that their clients abstain from all forms of vigilante justice (except perhaps under quite extraordinary circumstances), for vigilante justice, even if justified, invariably causes uncertainty and provokes possible third party intervention. -- Just as insurers charge less if homeowners have an alarm system or a safe installed, so would a trained gun owner represent a lower insurance risk.'

Wikipedia -- Maxims of equity
'#Equity follows the law #Equity will not aid a volunteer: Equity cannot be used to take back a benefit that was voluntarily but mistakenly conferred without consultation of the receiver. This maxim protects the doctrine of choice. A volunteer is not merely someone who acts selflessly. In the legal (and equitable) context, it refers to someone who provides a benefit regardless of whether the recipient wants it. For example, when someone mistakenly builds an improvement on a home, neither equity nor restitution will allow the improver to recover... The exception is if the doctrine of estoppel applies. #Equity will not complete an imperfect gift: If a donor has made an imperfect gift, i.e. lacking the formalities required at common law, equity will not assist the intended donee. A subset of equity will not assist a volunteer. #Equity will not allow a trust to fail for want of a trustee: If there is no trustee, whoever has title to the trust property will be considered the trustee.'

Law in the absence of centralized force has worked quite well, depending upon ostracism, reputation, and outlawry as its primary enforcement mechanisms.

Strong commitment to our principles will give us justice that is as complete as possible; partial commitment will yield inferior justice. The protocols are voluntary. They form a reference point for commercial activity. Entities may describe their expectations in economic interactions by stating "we follow the Common Economic Protocols explicitly", or "we follow all of the Common Economic Protocols except...", or "we follow all the Common Economic Protocols, plus...". -- 3.0 Maxims of Law: #Where there is the same reason, there is the same law.'

Wikipedia -- Shouting fire in a crowded theater
'Schenck v. United States. Holmes: 'The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic. The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.' The First Amendment holding in Schenck was later overturned by Brandenburg, which limited the scope of banned speech to that which would be directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot). The test in Brandenburg is ... on the ability of government to proscribe speech after that fact. Despite Schenck being limited, the phrase "shouting fire in a crowded theater" has since come to be known as synonymous with an action that the speaker believes goes beyond the rights guaranteed by free speech, reckless or malicious speech, or an action whose outcomes are blatantly obvious.'

Eli Dourado -- What Would Stateless Internet Courts Be Like?
'As Schelling says, the right to be sued is the power to make a promise. Since a private internet court must attract business without the machinery of the state, most of its rulings would need to be public. It would want to develop a reputation as a truth- and fairness-seeking body. Its opinions would need to be clear, well-reasoned, and principled. Past rulings would serve effectively as advertisements to bring in future business. It could occasionally offer secret proceedings if both parties publicly agreed to be bound by them, but in equilibrium, these would cost more since they could not be used as advertisements. Courts will compete on fees and reputation for fairness. This will generate a search for efficient rules of civil procedure... Since the enforcement mechanism relies entirely on reputation, and firms can always “declare bankruptcy” on their reputation and start over, the cases that will be brought will be relatively small, at least at first.'

Bible Believers -- Modern 'Commercial Law' is based on Ancient Babylonian Codes by Charles Bruce Stewart
'...Babylon's Religious Priesthood is commonly recognizable as the source of all of the modern so called "Laws of Commerce". These "Laws of Commerce" are shown to be a specific body of Codes which authorize the Administration of the Compelling Force of the State in the En-Force-ment of Contracts, mostly for Payments of Debts. The ancient Babylonian Priests were involved because Contracts were deemed to be a form of "Oath" entered into by the contracting parties; and the approval of their Gods were invoked so as to more effectively legitimize/bamboozle the entire process in the minds and the consciences of the contracting parties and all public witnesses. Under the ancient Babylonian Religious Codes, "Slavery" is clearly facilitated. People were not recognized as People but were items in Commerce. The text-book says that "The slave is not regarded or spoken of as a man, but as a thing, and is reckoned in the same way as cattle."' -- Nothing personal, Jack. It's just good business.

Wikipedia -- Trusts
'In common law legal systems, a trust is a relationship between three parties whereby property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) is transferred by one party to be held by another party for the benefit of a third party. A trust is created by a settlor, who transfers some or all of his property to a trustee, who holds that trust property (or trust corpus) for the benefit of the beneficiaries (archaically known as the cestui que use, or cestui que trust). The trustee has legal title to the trust property, but the beneficiaries have equitable title to the trust property. The trustee owes a fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries, who are the "beneficial" owners of the trust property. (Note: A trustee may be either a natural person, or an entity, and there may be a single trustee or multiple co-trustees. There may be a single beneficiary or multiple beneficiaries. The settlor may himself be a beneficiary.) The trust is governed by the terms under which it was created.'

Wikipedia -- Assignment (law)
'For assignment to be effective, it must occur in the present. A promise to assign in the future has no legal effect. Assignor remains liable unless there is an agreement to the contrary. An agreement must manifest intent to transfer rights, it may not necessarily be in writing, words will do, and the rights assigned must be certain. The effect of a valid assignment is to extinguish privity between the assignor and the obligor and create privity between the obligor and the assignee. The common law favors the freedom of assignment, so an assignment will generally be permitted unless there is an express prohibition against assignment in the contract. Where assignment is thus permitted, the assignor need not consult the other party to the contract. An assignment cannot have any effect on the duties of the other party to the contract, nor can it reduce the possibility of the other party receiving full performance of the same quality.'

Estoppel: A New Justification for Individual Rights by Stephan Kinsella (PDF)
'To say a person is estopped from making certain claims means that ... he will not be heard to make a statement which is flatly inconsistent with his earlier behaviour (and which another relied upon). Principled application of the estoppel principle would result in a free society. For all coercive crimes could be: punished (if not by the state, then at least by victims or their agents or defenders); and all non-coercive "crimes" could not be enforced. Since an arguer is estopped from denying the validity of estoppel in general, he must accept its validity—and he must also accept the validity of the results of its application. [This] framework establishes the validity of the libertarian nonaggression principle, which has been shown by many others to justify a libertarian or at least a minimalist or night-watchman state. Thus, everyone "must" accept the validity of the free society; to urge otherwise is to argue for inconsistency, and to be inconsistent, and to necessarily be wrong.'

So in article 61 of the Magna Carta it was written that if this ever happened you could petition the crown to sort out the crowns problem (or parliaments if it was them), the crown had 40 days to fix it or dissolve parliament. If in the 40 days nothing was fixed the petitioner could go into rebellion against the crown and parliament lawfully until the problem was resolved.

Vimeo -- English Freemen Standing In Court - Council Tax Hearing - The Takedown Begins!
'Here we see Englsih Freemen standing in court as Lay Advisors to another Freemen. This is for a Council Tax Liability Order hearing in Cwmbran Magistrates Court in South Wales, There were 14 Freemen in attendance. The court was never convened as the Freemen never handed juridiction to magistrates or the clerk by standing up when ordered to do so and the magistrates never sat down. The magistrates twice abandoned the court (the ship) and it was the Freemen who called the Police and at one point the Lay advisor can clearly be heard calling attending Police Constables to arrest the magistrates for impersonating judges. There were many criminal acts committed this day by the company personnel (Magistrates, solictors, security and the clerk) and Police complaints are under way pending prosecutions for Fraud among other things. But for the real shocker of how these people think they are above the law ... Watch until the end!' -- Haha! WHO IS LIABLE FOR THE NAME?!

Wikipedia -- Estoppel
'Estoppel in its broadest sense is a legal term referring to a series of legal and equitable doctrines that preclude "a person from denying or asserting anything to the contrary of that which has, in contemplation of law, been established as the truth, either by the acts of judicial or legislative officers, or by his own deed, acts, or representations, either express or implied."' -- Maxim of Law(?): Equitable estoppel applies to a contract created by fraud.

The Daily Bell -- Copyright and Private Markets
'...the more that people can get back to individual problem solving with or without third-party negotiators the better off civil society will be. We would argue that people have a right to enforce private copyright and patent claims IF THEY CAN. Ultimately we would suggest that people have a right to try to attach invisible strings to their IP. Who is to stop them after all? The enforcement, within the framework we are suggesting, would amount to a kind of intense market competition. Reducing, or even eliminating, the resources and involvement of the state in judicial and civil matters as much as possible, would put the onus of enforcement on the individual. Much of what passes for "justice" today might suddenly be seen as too expensive to insist upon, once it was up to the individual. For us, issues of private justice, a return to common law and even pre-common law problem solving, even regarding so-called criminal issues, is part of creating a freer and more market-oriented society.'

The Daily Bell -- The Tyranny of Copyright
'When it comes to copyright, we would argue for private justice... If someone wants to sue an individual or group for "stealing" intellectual property, the person should be able to do so. But there is no need for state laws or international treaties regarding the matter. ... This would mean that only very large commercial enterprises would end up being sued. Nobody would bother with individuals downloading files, etc. This is probably as it should be. Legal injury should follow natural law. What is "yours" is mostly what you can protect: your family, your property, etc. But launch a book or article into the world and protecting it becomes a good deal more arbitrary and difficult. We would argue that successful artists can still make a living even were intellectual property rights enforced privately rather than through statist mechanisms. Sure, it would be a less efficient and merciless system. People would pilfer songs and articles and even books. But so what? They do it anyway.'

Molinari Institute -- No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority by Lysander Spooner
'The constitution not only binds nobody now, but it never did bind anybody. It never bound anybody, because it was never agreed to by anybody in such a manner as to make it, on general principles of law and reason, binding upon him. -- It is a general principle of law and reason, that a written instrument binds no one until he has signed it. The laws holds, and reason declares, that if a written instrument is not signed, the presumption must be that the party to be bound by it, did not choose to sign it, or to bind himself by it. And law and reason both give him until the last moment, in which to decide whether he will sign it, or not. The fact that the instrument was written for him to sign, or with the hope that he would sign it, goes for nothing. Where would be the end of fraud and litigation, if one party could bring into court a written instrument, without any signature, and claim to have it enforced, upon the ground that it was written for another man to sign?'

Anarchy and Efficient Law by David D. Friedman
'Legal diversity has substantial costs [that provide] an incentive for arbitration agencies to adopt more uniform law, to be balanced against the incentive for non-uniform law provided by the differing desires of different customers. -- Each agency can threaten to refuse to agree to any arbitrator, subjecting both to the costs of occasional violence, or at least of ad hoc negotiation to avoid violence. Each knows that if no agreement is reached, they are both at risk of losing their customers to other agencies that have been more successful in negotiating agreements. -- Each individual is both a buyer and a seller of legal assent, buying from and selling to every other individual. ...the interaction is essentially one of bilateral monopoly. ...the goods they are selling are not substitutes. Because of this, a conventional analysis of a uniform good sold at a single price by all sellers and to all buyers does not work for this market.'

'If the vast majority of people—although they have different conceptions of justice—can all agree that it is wrong to use violence to settle their honest disputes, then market forces would lead to peace among the private police agencies. ...why would we expect such virtuous people, as consumers, to patronize agencies that routinely used force against weak opponents? Why wouldn’t [they] patronize defense agencies that had interlocking arbitration agreements, and submitted their legitimate disputes to reputable arbitrators? -- ...it is theoretically possible that a rogue agency could, either through intimidation or division of the spoils, take over enough banks, power companies, grocery stores, etc. that only full-scale military assault would conquer it. But the point is, from an initial position of market anarchy, these would-be rulers would have to start from scratch. In contrast, under even a limited government, the machinery of mass subjugation is ready and waiting to be seized.'

'In a stateless society, contracts with DROs are required to maintain any sort of economic life—without DRO representation, citizens are unable to get a job, hire employees, rent a car, buy a house or send their children to school. DROs would have clauses allowing you to cancel your coverage, just as insurance companies have now. Thus you would have to notify your DRO that you were dropping coverage. No problem, you’re off their list. However, DROs as a whole really need to keep track of people who have opted out of the entire DRO system, since those people have clearly signaled their intention to go rogue, to live off the grid, and commit crimes. Thus if you cancel your DRO insurance, your name goes into a database available to all DROs. If you sign up with another DRO, no problem, your name is taken out. However, if you do not sign up with any other DRO, red flags pop up all over the system. What happens then?' -- You either rejoin an existing DRO or you start your own.

Dear America, -- 'Yet again and again, throughout your speech, you repeat the idea, that this so-called constitution, which nobody ever signed, which few people ever read, which the great body of the people never saw, and about whose meaning no two persons ever agreed, is “The Supreme Law of this Land!” Sir, where did this wonderful constitution come from, that you should describe it as “The Supreme Law of this Land?” Did it originate with any body who had any rightful authority to impose it upon the people of this country? Sir, this declaration of yours, that the constitution (so-called) is “the Supreme Law of this Land,” is utterly, flagrantly, shamefully false. Justice alone is the Supreme Law of this land, and of all other lands. And it is not because your “Supreme Law of the Land,” the constitution – but because the supreme law of justice is “neglected,” “forgotten,” “disregarded,” and “disobeyed,” that our liberty is lost; or, rather, never had an existence.'

The Center of the Universe -- What is Money? (From The Banking Law Journal, May 1913. By A. Mitchell Innes.)
Challenging the accepted history/theory that fixed weights were the standard of value for money metals and arguing instead coins were simply credit money tokens. -- 'The value of a credit depends not on the existence of any gold or silver or other property behind it, but solely on the “solvency” of the debtor, and that depends solely on whether, when the debt becomes due, he in his turn has sufficient credits on others to set off against his debts. If the debtor neither possesses nor can acquire credits which can be offset against his debts, then the possession of those debts is of no value to the creditors who own them. It is by selling, I repeat, and by selling alone—whether it be by the sale of property or the sale of the use of our talents or of our land—that we acquire the credits by which we liberate ourselves from debt, and it is by his selling power that a prudent banker estimates his client’s value as a debtor.' -- Also mention of tally sticks, aes rude and tablets.

''That [experience] showed me how the justice system and bureaucracy worked, and did not work; what its abilities were and what its limitations were,'' he replies. ''And justice wasn't something that came out of the justice system. Justice was something that you bring to the justice system.

You have to charge an account or the instrument you AFV doesn't have any value. A tax has been fully assessed, it's a known value. It doesn't need to be charged. We create paper to justify the use of force (energy/charge). And so a piece of paper that has no charge associated with it cannot transfer energy because it has no force behind it. A tax, however, has been properly assessed and they have charged the strawman account for that amount. The IRS acting as debt collector for the IMF has already charged that account. So all you have to do is accept and return [the tax demand] to them. -- Gives overview of AFV your strawman birth certificate, charging it to the strawman account at the treasury, who will in turn use it to access the foreign situs trust held at the IMF that had been created by the application for live berth (see videos 1a and 1b).

Social Security Insurance is limited liability insurance provided by the government. When you work in commerce [as a common law man?], you work with full liability, man-to-man.

On Bills of Exchange (debt notes) as the admiralty replacement for asset money. Civil Law/Statutes is all merchant law. A complaint that is put into court is a negotiable instrument, it's a bill of exchange. Courts only deal in debt, the money damage of a crime. The jury helps the Judge determine how much the Defendant will pay for the crime. Maker/Drawer (the Attorney of the BAR, operating on the letter of marque, making a gamble/wager on the prize of the negotiable instrument on the open sea), Drawee (the party who is named as the Defendant (the Person)), Payor (indeterminate until the wager pays off where a party is assigned to be surety, else the Attorney gets stuck with the bill), Payee (the State, the holder and issuer of the Attorney's bond). A Defendant's plea of 'not guilty' is a counter claim against the Plaintiff that requires a bond. No bond, no standing. And if you've gone into court with an Attorney who is already bonded, the State will be the beneficiary if you win.

The Daily Bell -- Horror of Common Law? (Comment: Bruce)
'Under the common law, two parties to a dispute are required to communicate the grievance and attempt to settle privately before going public with the dispute. If private settlement cannot be made, then they agree to abide by the decision of the arbiters that they both choose. At that agreement, peace is made, though the underlying grievance has not yet been justified until trial. Peace is accomplished swiftly, and the parties can go back to both productivity and leisure. Under an adversarial system, the parties are discouraged from communicating directly, but do so through a third party who has an interest in keeping the conflict alive, since only in litigation can the attorney benefit. Civil law is designed to foment and perpetuate conflict for the purpose of controlling people and obtaining their wealth (energy). For that reason the power elite have obscured every attempt of the people to utilize principles of law, and to teach those principles to others.'

'The sensible focus of common law involves private, marketplace justice and allows aggrieved parties to solve both civil and criminal offenses on their own using the standards of community morality. This sort of justice is not based on precedent but on common sense and tends to limit quarrels and even violence. Precedent justice, combined with the West's modern-day prison-industrial complex, will inevitably give rise to a web of complex criminal and civil "laws" that will continually expand over time. Unlike common law, the precedent-based legal system can only multiply its "laws" until almost everything can be considered a prosecutable action. The end result is an oppressive and impossibly complex system good for intimidation and control. -- As the current monetary system continues its unrolling collapse, we expect the worst excesses of the current statist judiciary to begin to retreat as well.'

'Common law systems of justice thrive when the state is less than omnipresent and when private morality and religion [*sigh*] have expanded into the gap left by the diminishment of the authoritarian state. ...such systems tend to be "shame-based" rather than punitive in terms of Western approaches. Rather than vast periods of incarceration, the convicted individual is subject to punishments that may be psychologically painful, yet far less expensive and disruptive. ...in terms of competitive justice that is privately based and arises to solve problems cleanly and efficiently, the West's vast law libraries and universities are manifestations of the larger regulatory democracies that have taken hold in the 20th century. These democracies, in turn, are an outgrowth of mercantilist central banking and fiat money. Only societies with huge amount of paper money to fling about can afford the kinds of litigious, statist and authoritarian justice system that is prevalent today.'

DB: 'In free-market common law, the aggrieved party and putative offender might both pay a judge to render a verdict. The judge, who did this for a living, would have every incentive to present a fair verdict because such verdicts would add luster to his or her reputation and generate additional business. Additionally, common law has the added advantage that not everyone would take advantage of it, and that some would seek to settle grievances on their own. This would result in a very polite society (and has in the past) as no one would want to offend anyone else. Once upon a time, "manners" were far more elaborate and prevalent for a reason. There is also an issue of honor and morality. In communal societies, where power has devolved to local levels, religion [?] can often play an important role in how society is organized and how law is administered. Such societies are often shame-based, or have been in the past, and the prospect of shaming may act as a behavior modifier...'

The Daily Bell -- Euro Crisis to Set One World Currency? (Comment)
Comment: DB: Bruce -- 'Get kidnaped on the street by jack booted thugs in uniform carrying a badge. They bring you into an executive branch administrative court before someone called a judge, who is merely a clerk for the police agency who kidnaped you. They pretend the whole thing is judicial, but it isn't. Then they ask you questions, like, 'What's your name? or 'Are you So and So? Let me ask you this, 'If whoever brought me here can't testify to who I am and why he brought me here, then by what authority do you hold me and ask me questions? If asked, 'What's your name? my response is, 'What makes you think I have a name? You wouldn't believe how fast the hands come off from me. The word 'name comes from the Latin word 'Nome which means 'debtor. The question, 'What's your name? actually is the question, 'Do you recognize me as the creditor so that I can determine how much money I can extract from you today? There is no honesty in government. There is no law in the courts.'
