Straw Man
Introduced by
Richard Roland Riley, Esquire
Introduction.
While learning about Laissez Faire City, I came into contact with the legal
theory of the STRAWMAN. Is it a viable concept? You decide.
Laissez Faire City is a new futuristic digital society.
Thousands of sovereign individuals are building their own virtual city in
Cyberspace. The majority of them are not British nor American. The people
building this new sovereign nation reside all over the world and they are
developing their MUNI-CORP via the Internet.
It is presently a closed society. Membership in this exclusive group requires
one to be a "sovereign individual," or a LFCity virtual corporation. The mindset
of the group is based on the philosophies of Ayn Rand and Napoleon Hill.
Their code of commerce is based on British common law and the commercial
territory they are constructing in Cyberspace is called the laissez-faire
Global Grid.
Once the digitally distributed "Fire Walls" protecting the sovereignty of the
grid are fully implemented and effectively certified by an elaborate peer
review, (still months away), the gates to Laissez Faire City will be opened to
all the qualified sovereign individuals of the world seeking a domicile from
which to serve a growing international free market.
The major goal is to create and moderate a newly protected world of virtual
laissez-faire capitalism (as envisioned in Rand's Atlas Shrugged) existing
outside the legal jurisdiction of any established nation state.
Most readers of the 'City Times' are already somewhat familiar with Laissez
Faire City. Zola's newspaper has published several articles relating to its
technologies, history and progress. So I won't take anymore time describing it
here.
Suffice it to say that I am one of the various real and virtual personalities
working to bring the goals and technologies of Laissez Faire City to a rapid and
successful conclusion.
In so doing, I recently came into contact with an interactive website presently
being referred to as "Dodge City." That is where I met the STRAWMAN.
"Dodge City" is a private extranet limited to people actively working to build
Laissez Faire City proper. Accessed via the net, the site is a place on the
'frontier' of virtual capitalism where invited LFCity Netizens can NOW, (in
advance of the Global Grid), anonymously interact in brainstorming sessions
concerning this new laissez-faire concept of international commerce and the
potential opportunities possible using virtual LFCity corporations.
It was on this site that an
anonymous LFCity Netizen from New Zealand posted the STRAWMAN.
It was interesting to me, not
from the point of view of attempting to protect one's self 'inside' the nation
state system, but rather as a mental exercise helping one to recognize the
necessity and the legal advisability of organizing new financial ventures in
Cyberspace using LFCity's Global Grid, virtual corporations and registered NYMS.
"STRAWMAN" is legal history.
Fully understanding the history of legal jurisprudence in the old world, makes
it much easier to extrapolate how it may develop in the exciting new world of
digital laissez-faire capitalism.
You are responsible for
yourself and your own actions. If you act on what you do not understand and
cannot support in law, the consequences are entirely your own responsibility.

The Untold History of "Straw Man" in New Zealand & British
Common Law
by ANONYMOUS
Once one
understands the true legal history of the "STRAW MAN," it is possible to tackle
him head on.
New Zealand's
Inland Revenue Code.
As you will discover, the
Inland Revenue tax file number is a "public" number belonging to a "public
persona," a "person," a legal entity different from yourself and artificial as
well; i.e. existing in contemplation of or by force of law alone.
This is your alter ego,
all-capital letters-written-name straw man. "STRAW MAN" is a legal term for a
"front man," or nominal party to a transaction, existing in name only, which
allows the owner to accomplish some purpose not otherwise permitted.
Owner,
Slave and Master.
A straw man serves its
owner/master with slavish devotion, but the vast majority of you do not even
know that you have one. If you lack this key perception, you may assume you are
his owner, but you will never be the master!
[Herein lies the CONCEPT that
will free you of worry and personal liability in operating virtual corporations
in Cyberspace. OWNERSHIP is passé in the new age of digital laissez-faire
capitalism. USE is the new 'key perception' - as use pre-empts ownership. - RRR]
He has been running around obligating you and entering into all kinds of
unconscionable contracts and causing you much grief, heartache, and economic
misery. It is time you get to know this fellow and set things straight.
Most people understand that
the law is very precise, with legalized deadly violence attached to the words
appearing in the text of the codes that are enforced by both courts and police.
English
and the Language of Law.
The English language and its
accepted rules of grammar are likewise precise, however, and make no
accommodation for proper nouns to be written in all-capital letters. The
all-capital letters-written name which appears on your IRD [Inland Revenue
Department] Statements, driver's license, passport, bank statement, credit
cards, etc., and which is rigidly enforced by the legal system, is not there by
mistake - as the law is very precise.
But it is not your "True Name," which appears with only initial letters
capitalised. The all-caps version is the name of your mirror image straw man and
is written in another language: "Legalese." The primary pitfall is that an
all-capital letters name sounds exactly like a true name when spoken). This
phenomenon has no particular significance in our society - except in a
courtroom, and a courtroom can be a dangerous place.
Simple observation tells us that a primary function of today's private,
foreign-owned and operated court system is the transfer of personal wealth and
freedom over to the banks and government.
The judge is calling out a name in one language, "Legalese," (he is reading from
the legal documents in front of him), and you are innocently listening and
answering in another, "English."
This otherwise harmless
overlap of "language" is then immediately applied to your profound detriment.
Such deception is now indispensable in maintaining the current level of
commercial success of the courts (e.g. visit any "traffic court" for an hour and
keep a tally of the proceeds). An all-capital letters-written name is an
artificial construction and designates an artificial person existing only by
force of or in contemplation of law.
The problem enters in when a man or woman mistakenly believes that such a
corruption of their true name refers to them - a calamitous case of mistaken
identity. However, all law-to be "law" - must offer remedy and recourse.
The Code is the Law.
The private forum of the UCC
(Uniform Commercial Code) offers such a remedy. This is not intended to be a
cure-all for legal woes and does not pretend to be anything other than a
work-in-progress for legal self-discovery.
For thousands of years the
Powers That Be have been steadfastly constructing the System by which world law
and commerce operate. They have developed their system utilising timeless
principles of human interaction which, over the millennia, have been discovered
and codified. These fundamental, common-sense principles underlie every form of
law extant on the planet.
Every legal issue and dispute deals with one or more of these principles. Since
all human interchange is commerce, in order to rule people it is necessary only
to govern the commerce by which they interact and subsist.
Those operating the system
have achieved their pre-eminence by knowing the foundational principles and
encrypting them into "codes" for their own benefit, while confusing the masses
and keeping them ignorant of such real law and how to employ it correctly. The
pinnacle of their efforts to date is the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code).
Commerce now functions under, and is securely entrenched in, the UCC. The
important points to remember are that while the UCC was formulated for purposes
of exploitation and subjugation, it is a particular codification of the
universal underlying laws of commerce, and, perhaps most importantly, can be
employed for our benefit now that the code has been "cracked."
Protocols
within the Code.
The foundational maxims of the
underlying commercial law, from which all law and commerce in the world today
derive, are:-
- A workman is worthy of
his hire.
- All are equal under the
law (moral and natural law).
- In commerce truth is
sovereign.
- Truth is expressed in the
form of an affidavit.
- An unrebutted claim,
charge, or affidavit stands as the truth in commerce.
- An unrebutted affidavit
becomes the judgement in commerce.
- All matters must be
expressed to be resolved.
- He who leaves the field
of battle first loses by default.
- Sacrifice is the measure
of credibility (one who has not been damaged by, given to, lost on account
of, or put at risk by another has no basis to make claims or charges against
him/her).
- A lien or claim can be
satisfied only through rebuttal by counter affidavit point-for-point,
resolution by jury, or payment.
The reason, this scenario
prevails is because the world has been set up to run precisely this way. We (the
slaves) were just not supposed to figure it out.
Code is
Set in Stone.
Before the bankruptcy of the
established nation states, [invocation of a debt-based system of finance], men
and women sovereigns were personally accountable for their actions in courts
that were set up to accommodate disputes among sovereigns (such as the original
common law in England before 1066).
Now, the people's straw men,
which are legally owned property of the system, are the "accountable parties" as
adjudicated and enforced by the system. Such formerly sovereign men and women
are now personally accountable because they are inextricably joined with their
straw men which is owned via implied contract by a handful of arch-charlatans.
Courts today are set up to
deal only with straw men. We, their unfortunate counterparts, are merely "along
for the ride." A sovereign (real being) has no place in a contemporary court
(commercial, dealing in artificial persons), and cannot be legally accommodated.
Only if the current debt-based
system of finance and government is rectified will we ever get back to a sane
and just basis for resolution of disputes and a sound civilization.
Your
Moral Code is Primary.
As a great Indian sage stated
the matter: "Seek the highest first." This means, inter alia, to maintain your
integrity and ethical behavior. In practice this requires that you keep your
word, honour your contracts, and not depart from your principles.
A fundamental flaw in Man's
thinking is the notion that he can cheat moral or natural law (usually by trying
to cheat others) and get away with it. Every such attempt generates inexorable
cause/effect consequences, all man's philosophies, systems, and cleverness to
the contrary notwithstanding.
The entirety of our
predicament is due to failure to live in harmony and accord with moral and
natural law. The current system is the cause/effect result of our own folly. All
governments are expressions of, and exist by virtue of, the people's
irresponsibility, ignorance, laziness, larceny, and surrender of personal power,
freedom, and autonomy in exchange for "being taken care of."
In other words, every
government exists due to the express will, as well as implied default of, the
people (combined with the willingness of the ruthless to accept and manage the
surrender of the people's power to the fictitious, artificially created,
"government"). As Joseph de Maistre noted: "Every country gets the government it
deserves."
What Can
People Do?
To start with you must declare
that you and your strawman are not one and the same. This is done via a very
carefully worded affidavit, a "Statutory Declaration of True Name". This
affidavit states exactly what your correct name is and that you are not to be
confused with or represent in any way any of the straw man versions of your
name.
Next you will actually create
an entity that takes on the names of your Strawman. That is to say you will
literally bring your straw man to life.
Your strawman will be an
entity officially created under New Zealand law having it's own legal status.
The benefit is that you will not have to try and convince anyone that you are
not one and the same as your strawman. It will be self-evident.
The strawman will have it's
own director and owner. The director and owner will represent the entity in all
matters. The place for service and official address will be the same as the man
or woman the entity is created to protect.
For example: Mr John Frank Doe
and Mrs Jane Mary Doe of 22 New Street, Newmarket, Auckland, wish to protect
themselves. This is what they do:-
Mrs Jane Mary Doe forms a
company called JOHN FRANK DOE LIMITED to protect her husband.
She then registers several names as "doing business as" these are the entities'
registered trademark - names, registered at the Companies Office.
She registers: JOHN F. DOE,
JOHN FRANK DOE, J. F. DOE, JOHN DOE, John Frank DOE, John F. Doe, J. F. Doe,
John Doe, DOE John Frank.
Mrs Doe registers 22 New
Street, Newmarket, Auckland as the place for service etc.
The newly formed entity will
conduct no business at all! It will have no IRD [Inland Revenue Department]
number and no bank account. It will essentially be a shelf company that exists
in name only to prove legally that the entity exists and that John Frank Doe is
not that entity.
Mr Doe will do the same for
Mrs. Doe.
Key Legal
Perception.
You do not want to own or
direct a company that looks like your own name as that would serve to defeat the
purpose. The reason the entity is formed is so that you are able to simply
distinguish between yourself, the living man or woman, and the entity created by
government to control you.
After reading this material,
understanding its implications and applying it correctly you will be in a
commanding position against prosecution in admiralty court.
As previously stated the
courts can now only deal with the entities that governments create. The entity
that sounds like your name does no business thus having a rock solid defense in
any situation.
