Last night I attended a presentation hosted by the Commoner Law Group. The speaker was Rick Martin, founder of the Constitutional Law Group. Ostensively, the topic was about his experience with driving for decades without license or registration, highlighting his dealings with traffic cops and the occasional judge who operate a system that seeks to financially exploit us even as they deny us our freedom of movement.
And he has been quite successful: he mentioned three very pricey SUVs along his journey that had been paid for by three different Texas townships that each put him in jail for one night. He also listed 26 judges, more than a couple prosecutors, and a handful of police officers that he has put in jail. As we've been learning, going after the indemnity bonds was a particularly effective part of his wins.
The talk was fascinating and inspiring in itself. At one point he touched on what's in store for state and local officials for the incredible harm wrought by their unlawful COVID mandates. Though an expert in the Constitution and the Common Law, Rick is not a lawyer. Nonetheless, he has committed himself to fighting the tyrants who are bent on removing all individual liberties. And he puts his money where his mouth is.
At one point the Texan let it slip that he was in a hotel in Michigan, and then proceeded to gave us some idea of what he was up to. Remember Marlena Hackne? She is the Michigan refugee from communist Poland who refused to close her Bistro on the say so of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her health director Robert Gordon.
Martin actually traveled to Holland, MI to help defend her from AG Dana Nessel, and got thrown into jail for 93 days for his trouble. It seems the judge was under the misguided impression that We the People are not allowed to work within our court system unless we are bar licensed attorneys.
Well, that sort of attitude rubs freedom loving people the wrong way. So he came back for round two. It seems that there are now multi-million dollar suits in place against, at a minimum, Whitmere, Nessel, and a state prosecutor. Based on what I know of the Common Law, I would assume the liability involved would be personal.
He did not give any more details, but it started me to thinking. After the first round of draconian lockdown, unlike the most notorious Dem governors, Whitmer did not inflict a second round upon us Michiganders. As the saying goes, things were quiet; too quiet. Maybe these suits explain her loss of interest in inflicting pain. It's also interesting that she has not mentioned COIVD, nor how she saved us all from certain death even once in her recent campaign events.
I'm posting this as a potential win, but also as an example of the path (along with some resources) that patriots might be able to follow to permanently bring down the daemons who have been haunting us for over two years.
I love Common Law
It's addictive, and so empowering. Maybe that's why it's addictive?
You express your comments very well. Probably most of the rules we operate under are unconstitutional, or a violation of common law although I know very little about the latter.
Thank for taking the time to think this out, and post it.
From Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez. (Fiction but I like the way Oden, a bad ass special ops dude puts it.
Behind every law is the implicit threat of force, and behind ever vote, is the implicit threat of rebellion. That's the bargain that holds a free society together, and no society with a large power imbalance remains free for long.
Democracy only arose when the ability to deploy force was decentralized.
If you go back to the middle ages, the state of the art weapon's system was the armored knight, he cost a fortune to train, feed, and equip, but a mounted armored knight could overpower almost any number of peasants on a battlefield. The distribution of political power in mid-evil society reflected this. Authority was vested in a tiny minority, and the people had no choice but to obey.
Then with the advent of gunpowder, that all changed. Suddenly you didn't need a highly trained specialist warrior to win on the battlefield. All you needed was a warm body who could fire a gun. Anything they could aim at, they could kill, and from that point the edge in warfare went not to highly trained warriors, but to the side that could field the most people, at which point we saw the rise of the nation state, and nationalism as a concept, as a logistical requirement for fielding and ever larger conscripted army, but this changed the political dynamic. The nobles could no longer ignore the demands of their subjects. Those subjects now had to power to kill them, or to refuse to fight in their wars, so kings began to cede more power and authority to representative bodies of the people, like congress, parliaments and so on. (END)
I wonder if with advanced weapons, and AI, the the power imbalance is about to switch back to the Nobles.
If you look at Afghanistan, and other conflicts around the world where superpowers faced off against tribes with guns, that has not be the case yet.
You are of course right, the force is there, but we need to turn our application of it around. Frederic Bastiat in his timeless essay, "The Law" writes in answer to the question, what is the law?
"Law is common force organized to prevent injustice;---in short, Law is Justice."
Corrbrick, do you have a link to a book so us pleebs can do some indepth reading? Or maybe a link to a video explaining Common Law?
(You probably already have,but my laziness.....) ;)
Actually, I don't. Although, reading deeply of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with an eye towards understanding what law is and how it is to be used by a righteous people will give you a good feel.
There are so many approaches to using Common/Natural Law that I am still trying to get the lay of the land (law of the land?), and to get an idea for what is possible. Watching different free videos is a good way to be awakened to the power and promise of a heritage that has largely been stolen from us. And to experience the stunning realization of just what we have been blessed with, unlike any other nation on Earth. If only we have the wisdom and courage to use it.
I am working through the Excellence of the Common Law by Brent Allan Winters. It's a heavy bit of research into the history and nature of the Common Law as well as the spiritual underpinnings. Good for inspiration once you're already on the path, but not really a good introduction. He offers other books at his site and some readings I am working through.
Other folks with reading material, which I have not been able to get very far through are Bill Thorton at 1215 (year of the Magna Carta), and the Lawful Path. And I just found out about Rick Martin's Constitutional Law Group yesterday.
Because my need was immediate (masking & testing mandates at first, followed by jabbing) I went with the Commoner Law Group since they had an approached tailored to the situation with templates and classes scheduled for roll out. For a price they have the mentioned templates and videos of varying quality. Their Great American Law Series has been well worth the money for me.
Most of what I've learned in such a short time was from doing paperwork following the principles of Common Law, researching the cases that were cited, and reading definitions out of Black's Law Dictionary, 4th ed. (after the 4th, Common Law citations used to illustrate a concept were steadily removed).
I think u/Morpheus11 & u/Tewdryg could jump in here and give you some good references, since they both have studied Common Law extensively, and have helped me along my way.
I think the best place to start for someone who wants to learn is with Karl Lentz - a man with little tact, even less tolerance for ignorance, a not a sufferer of fools. He's an acquired taste to say the least.
But until you understand who you ARE, and who you are NOT, you'll forever have yourself tangled up and be unable to navigate your way through an actual incident.
As Lentz says about what he has learned "it's a lifestyle". If you don't KNOW -- through and through - that you're the KING/QUEEN, you can read a million books, listen to a million audios/videos but you still won't "GET IT".
We've all been taught from the beginning of life that we are serfs, peons, paupers. Unwinding this conditioning is the key to your success, no matter what comes up in your life. Thus, learning how to defend against a traffic ticket, or this method or that method of avoiding paying income taxes only gets you so far. The system is designed to ensnare you at every turn. If they can't get you in one way, they'll find another...and another...and another....
Thus, comprehending "common law" isn't about "learning something new" so much as it is about UNLEARNING what just ain't so. When you finally have your "ah ha" moment, you'll finally be ready to trade in all your corporate-granted "privileges and benefits" in exchange for your natural/God/Creator/Universal rights you were born with.
I've seen dozens of people try various techniques, learning nothing more then this one specific technique that worked for somebody else, with varying degrees of success. Because it's not about the "technique", it's about whether you believe you're the king/queen or the pauper. The "legal" system handles paupers while the "Common Law" "Lawful" system is for kings/queens. You'll end up right where you belong based on who you believe you are.
Which are you?
As hard as it is to listen to these audio recordings from Karl Lentz answering questions from "Talk Shoe", it will provide you with an invaluable education if you can make it through - hundreds of hours. By the end, you'll "get" what Lentz figured out -- all on his own I might add - a mighty accomplishment. Listening to all the predicaments these callers ask questions about is the fastest way to come to realize what's going on, which will then prepare you for handling "Common Law" activities of all kinds.
Start here and listen to all 500 shows -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k49oKUT8GV4
After which, I'll share some more information...but Corrbrick shared the Bill Thornton stuff which is also great for initial learning (he was in a pinch). I consider the Lentz material primary school education. Once learned, you ready to graduate and put it into practice.
This is exactly what people need to learn before they do anything.
People need to learn the various 'benefits' that they use to entrap you so you can counter them as needed.

Well said, my friend, as usual. Thanks for the Karl Lentz talk show clips.
What you wrote about knowing yourself is so important. It reminds me of Bill Thorton (who you also recommended) asking, "Which are you, a 14th Amendment person, or one of the People?"
Are you a slave being granted privileges, or a sovereign asserting your rights? Fundamental.
Indeed. BTW, adding Howard Freeeman's presentation below for yet another example of this. It's worth a listen as well. There are dozens of examples, but I try to pick from the best I know of.
As I hoped to convey, people screw this stuff up constantly because of this one single reason I harp on. Until they get it, they're gonna get tripped up. The system is designed to do exactly this in fact.
One last thing I failed to mention. In the LEGAL (deep state) realm, which completely dominates reality as we presently know it, there is ONE and only ONE thing that matters most. It ranks light years ahead of "truth", "facts" or "righteousness". The neophytes misunderstand this vital reality, rightfully so, time and time again, as they mistakenly ASSUME/PRESUME that our present "system of law" is about nothing but "the facts".
And that one thing is --- HONOR. Behaving HONORABLY - at all times, in all situations, regardless of whether you're being railroaded or cheated to monumental levels. You must REMAIN HONORABLE with all your dealings in "their system".
I can't help but think of the late Johnny Cochran (O.J. Simpson trial) and his behavior throughout. "If it pleases the court", "thank you kindly your honor". He was the most beloved of all the attorneys in the public opinion polls, precisely because of his honorable behavior throughout. That man understood the system better than all the other attorneys that appeared in that trial combined. It was a master course in "gaming the system".
The prosecution team was spittin' angry the whole time, nasty, vindictive, self-righteous, critical, etc. The precise OPPOSITE of what to do. Hence, this is why they made the "small bucks" working for the state, and frankly, ultimately lost.
I watched way more of that trial than I should have. And the entire time I said to myself; "OJ is gonna get off thanks to Johnny Cochran because it's clear that everybody in the courtroom, most importantly the jury, loves to watch and listen to him do his thing - honorably and with great verve and panache.
The whole legal system is a game, an "Act". Filled with actors (acting prosecutor, acting judge, acting defense counsel, etc.). All are "acting" on behalf of a multi-million (sometimes billion) dollar trust in your ALL CAPS NAME. The whole process is "set in motion" (with "Motions") in an effort to siphon off your Cestui Que Trust (Social Security Trust) fund which is established upon birth, where your "Birth CERTIFICATE" is created as a "negotiable instrument" (certificate).
But learning all the strawman, trusts, birth certifcate, taxes, Consitution stuff first, before you realize "who you are", is the BIG problem in this realm of "common law" johnny-come-latelys. IMHO, it works against you to learn this stuff first.
Anyway, back to the point of this missive, Howard Freeman explains this in his roundabout way regarding "sheep and wolves" in this video. As soon as you become the wolf, the aggressor, you are behaving "dishonorably" in their eyes - even though that's what they are consistency doing. This is well worth your listen:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/VZ3StIkCWfEK/
Hear, hear to honor!
Your talk of negotiable instruments reminds me of something else that came out in Rick Martin's presentation: prisoners are grouped into blocks and "sold off" as mortgage backed securities! That's from memory and may not be entirely accurate. Have you ever come across such a thing?
Indeed it is so!
The "Stock" (slaves) market were "Bonded" (chains) on the "Wall" Street in NYC for the first 200 hundred years after North America was settled (~1650-1850). They were shipped right over from primary import location, Newport Beach, RI, to be auctioned off as chattel to the highest bidder!
It was a lot messier back then of course. The game is the same today, just a whole lot cleaner. They're still trading their "stocks and bonds", which effectively represent the "labor" or their "chattel".
It's worth mentioned too, if you've ever listened to Peter Schiff who gives a great rundown of this, that the serfs/peasants/peons from medieval Europe typically paid the King anywhere between 15 - 30% of their annual earnings (crops, smithing, etc.). Whereas, the cost of housing, feeding, guarding, caring for slaves were exorbitantly higher than managing peasants in the US. This is what the "Civil War" was REALLY all about.
They lowered their "carrying costs" by 'freeing the slaves" by orders of magnitude, while simultaneously siphoning off 50-70% (2-3X) our income through all the various forms of taxation (income, property, license, social security sales, etc.).
A masterful stroke, eh?
All the while, they can't wait to get their hands on your Social Security trust, after you "officially" die, which has millions upon millions more that we unwittingly bequeath to our "trustees" for "beneficial" dispersment (to their personal coffers).
The fun never ends!
“If you wish to keep slaves, you must have all kinds of guards. The cheapest way to have guards is to have the slaves pay taxes to finance their own guards. To fool the slaves, you tell them that they are not slaves and that they have Freedom. You tell them they need Law and Order to protect them against bad slaves. Then you tell them to elect a Government. Give them Freedom to vote and they will vote for their own guards and pay their salary. They will then believe they are Free persons. Then give them money to earn, count and spend and they will be too busy to notice the slavery they are in.”
........
How I Manage My Slaves; Slaves need electricity so that they can stay up later to work and study to be able to pay their electric bills and pay for all of their fine labor saving machines which enable them to finish their work in time to get some recreation which will help them feel more like going back to their jobs to earn money to live their wonderful lives as slaves.
They are lucky to be allowed to buy all of the wonderful things which make work and play so much easier. If they didn t buy these fine things they would have no reason to work for money.
The poor people who take their food from the land and who sleep where ever they can, deprive themselves of the need to work for money. This further deprives them of a need to buy and store fine labor saving devices. They don’t seem to realize the fact that they are holding back progress. If they could be forced to consume more and work, we could increase our gross national production which is useful to keep this excellent system going for us. Consumption can be increased by making welfare and government grant money more available.
It is becoming necessary to provide better working conditions to stop slaves from dropping out. As more drop out and provide for their own needs and direct their own lives it leaves less people to control them. It is necessary to keep them dependent on jobs or government money to maintain our control.
We must find ways to keep them from dropping out of our schools too. Here we mainly teach them to obey orders, respect our laws and love their country, coincidently, we teach them a trade or profession with which they will minister to our needs and whims or to the needs of our other servants. We could teach them on-the-job much faster and better but it takes more time to complete their obedience training.
Those who take care of their own needs are difficult to enslave. We must encourage people to become dependent in every area that it is possible to do so.
I foresee a second career in your future when you tire of the rat race!!!
Thanks man. Been considering it...
You’ve educated yourself on this so much these past months. I have no doubt people would pay for your help. Have a good weekend!
In my many years of learning and listening to common law speakers, I've seen them come and go. From the time of Gordon Kahl to the Montana Freemen and later, there have been a plethora of them.
I know driving is an act of commerce and that the right for individual travel to and fro via a motorized vehicle is a non-commerce activity and a Right. I knew someone who won in court for the right to travel using his vehicle. He was not a 'driver'; this is an act of commerce, but rather he piloted his vehicle. Twice he won in court, but the judge refused to rule with prejudice. The police just kept on ticketing him.
There's two undeniable factors that tends to bury the truth under the boot of judicial tyranny. #1. Evil does not play by any rules. The goal posts keep moving. #2. Might makes right. The Bar is wedded to government even though it is not actually part of government. This is the same as the Federal Reserve.
Lawyers are not licensed. This is the big fraud perpetrated by the Bar Association. The Bar Association provides a guild card to those who pass the Bar. It's really no different than an Union card.
All judges and lawyers know there is no justice in the courts. There is only the 'appearance' of justice. Therefore, it is really an act; a theatrical production trying to convince the audience (the Jury) of its performance.
I agree with all you said, and it is daunting to consider. Learning how much we've been duped is traumatizing.
There are many different approaches to working with the law and regaining our rights -- seeing any one of them work is a thrill. I don't know the one to settle on, so continue to search for the holy grail, and to be amazed by each Commoner I discover.
If you want to see for yourself how deep and pervasive the hatred is for a free people having unalienable Rights as recognized by the founding fathers and encoded in the Bill of Rights, look no further than the topic of 'Law Positive' versus Common Law.
Investigating this topic, you'll quickly learn why America is experiencing the Marxist takeover of government. 'Law Positive'; ius positum is a legal ideology based on human-made laws that oblige or specify an action. It also describes the establishment of specific rights for an individual or group. Etymologically, the name derives from the verb to posit. On the surface, it sounds good, but it's not. Instead, it is pervasive and evil. I'll go into this further, but it will require some background, so please be patient and your eyes will be clearly see.
The concept of 'Law Positive' (or Positive Law) is distinct from 'Natural Law'. Natural Law comprises inherent rights, conferred not by act of legislation but by "God, Nature or reason. Positive law is also described as the law that applies at a certain time (present or past) at a certain place, consisting of statutory law, and case law as far as it is binding. More specifically, positive law may be characterized as "law actually and specifically enacted or adopted by proper authority for the government of an organized jural society. In other words, it is based on legal ruling as precedent. This is the reason for the Marxists calling the United States Constitution a 'living' document. That is, a document that is continually edited and updated. The Bill of Rights is not editable nor update-able. It is immutable. So, why have I presented this. Here's why.
It's very unfortunate that most people don't understand what is going on regarding our Constitutional Rights. They can see what is happening, but they don't recognize the prevailing legal theory that has become precedent in the courts across the land.
All the law schools and all the courts in the United States have adopted "Law Positivism" as the guiding law of the land.
In legal theory, Legal Positivism (or Positive Law) is contrary to Natural Law. Our Bill of Rights is based on Natural Law and is being increasingly ignored from the bench. All the graduating lawyers are being brain-washed and indoctrinated to follow Law Positivism. Seldom is Constitutional Law practiced in the courts today. In some cases, and it is becoming more frequent, a judge will brazenly forbid Constitutional arguments altogether.
If you wonder why your Rights are being taken away, it is because of this very reason. It is a well-known historical polemic that the courts provide an "appearance" of justice. Indeed, this concept has long been known and accepted as a principle; ipso facto in the legal profession. Justice has admittedly been revealed to be illusionary for purposes of appeasing the masses.
If the masses ever found out that the courts are all a contrived act there would be rebellion. I know this sounds harsh. However, the courts can only provide the appearance of justice in that justice must be weighed with the known facts.
What does the appearance of justice have to do with your unalienable rights?
Under Natural Law from whence the Bill of Rights was derived, the appearance of justice is based on morality, fact, and truth. It is the closest real justice that can be served. Positive Law is based on rules, ordinances, regulations, and statutes. These are suppose to be imperative components to morality. However, Positive Law is based on the meandering continuum of legal opinions that are rooted in ordinances, statutes, regulations, and rules. These are often government dictates that often have little to no public input. In other words, Truth and Fact need not apply for a conviction.
No one would deny you or I have certain unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness (which derive directly from Natural Law). Yet today, the legal system has adopted the theory of Legal Positivism, which does not recognize you have these unalienable rights. Again, Fact and Truth do not often apply in the dark-robed chambers of today's courts.
In today's world seldom does the appearance of justice actually equate to real justice. Under Legal Positivism, the appearance becomes obvious.
I wonder why none of this is ever taught in government school. Okay, I don't really wonder. You're right that this knowledge would lead to a rebellion.
In my web wanderings I came across a PDF put together by lawyers and judges about how to combat People trying to use the Common Law to assert their rights. Such a perverse system we have allowed to grow under our feet.
The American Bar Association is a subsidiary of the British Bar. The American system of governance has been under attack since the beginning. The missing 13th Amendment was the result of the War of 1812. This Amendment the founding fathers created banned lawyers from elected office of government. Why? It was for the reason the British and king George weaponized the use of lawyers for railroading American colonists. Looking further back in history even Rome banned lawyers from plying their trade on two different occasions to save the Republic.
As the Roman Republic declined and became progressively democratic, it became increasingly difficult to keep lawyers in check and prevent them from accepting fees under the table. Alas, many young men, with more 'ambition than virtue' flocked to the practice of law.
Successful Roman lawyers were skilled in the art of rhetoric. The Greeks invented rhetoric and made a science of it and it became the science of persuasion. The Romans imported many cultural ideals from the Greeks and the rhetoricians were able to establish schools of rhetoric in Rome. Soon, tradition-minded Romans saw these rhetoric schools as a subversive influence an assault on Roman morals and customs. It was because falsehoods could be convincingly argued where every repugnant tactic of deception, evasion, and misrepresentation was used to vilify the opponent for the purpose of winning the argument. To the Romans, it was if Fraus, the two-faced goddess of deception, was released to destroy Rome itself.
Early in the 2nd century BC, Cato, the Censor, once commented after listening to some of these clever Greeks that it was virtually impossible to know what was true and what was not. Cato’s views were not the first commentaries to be uttered about the rhetoricians. Two centuries before, Plato had referred to them as notorious for "making the worse appear the better cause." In 161 BC, the Roman Senate ordered all of these Greek schools of rhetoric closed and their teachers expelled from Rome.
Alas, that provided only a momentary halt to the problem. The rhetoricians and the lawyers soon surfaced in greater forces than ever. Once again, the valorous Roman censors, who were Rome's official guardians of public morality, ordered all the rhetoric schools closed in 92 BC. However, this latest cure was insufficient for stopping the cancer. All the attempts to save the Roman republic were worthy, but futile acts that ultimately had no effect in stopping Rome’s fall. The lawyers fed upon and exasperated the downward plunge of Roman civilization. Just as they are doing now.
Once again, you prove my eternal love of your brain is well founded. We need to run with this!!
Nana! I can always count on your heartfelt comments. How is our mutual friend doing with her challenges? Maybe they've dropped their aggression.
She's taken medical leave and is interviewing other companies without mandates. She decided they weren't worth it. She's on paid leave and they can't touch her. Thsnks so much for your help! The Brain!
Glad to her that she has options.
Siemens is opening offices worldwide starting in April. It's not official, but an only slightly brainwashed manager said that all mandates have been ditched.
Not sure what I am going to do. My loyalty has been killed, and I've lost respect for most of my colleagues. I was only staying in the job for the fight, which never came except in the sense that the other side folded without putting anything on the table.
Still, I'm counting it as a win. Maybe I'll look into helping people who have suffered vaxx damage from the mandate.
I think helping the injured would be good for the soul and probably exceedingly good for your wallet. In hard times, we must find solutions that work for all of us. That's something you can throw your passion behind! I wish, one day, we'd get to have a "Digi-Con", like Comi-con, so we can all meet. Until then, we shoulder on together here. Grateful for this place and you guys. I'll keep you in my prayers. God will lead you, my fren. He's gotten us this far. 🙏🙏🙏🐸🐸🐸
Law of the sea is contract law, which our courts excel at. Law of the land is the Common Law, which is for We the People, starting with the Magna Carta, as solidified in Article III of the Constitution.
This is the dirty secret of our judicial system.
