File Your Fictitious Name/UCC-1!! Stop the Cabal legally!

As far as I read, the United States is not a country. Briefly, it is a corporation.....a corporation that is bankrupt. So in 1933, the gold was confiscated and the American people were put up as collateral for this debt. When your parents registered you for a birth certificate, you were turned over to the state. That birth certificate is then monetized via Wall Street as bonds/mutual funds. It really explains how CEOs, bankers, etc make so much money. YOUR STRAWMAN acct is worth MILLIONS....possibly BILLIONS!!


It's so interesting to note that as far as I know, even today children that DO NOT have a birth certificate CANNOT be taken away by the state because they are not registered/owned.

The name on that birth certificate....your LEGAL NAME IN ALL CAPS IS NOT you!! You were tricked into believing that the STRAWMAN is you, the flesh and blood person, by representing it.....via taxes, jury duty, bills, statutes, etc.

So to help remedy this legally and really the first step to take back sovereignty, we have to separate the LEGAL NAME from YOU, the human. We do this by filing a "assumed/business/fictitious"name in your state. The assumed name will be exactly the same as what appears on the birth certificate in ALL CAPS. All states can do this. The individual name will be you the human WITHOUT ALL CAPS in this format (surname, first name middle name/initial). There is a fee for this too. But this establishes that your LEGAL SLAVE NAME is not the human.

I'm still in the infancy stage of learning all this, but this is the first step!! Once we get that assumed name certified, we can then file a UCC-1 discharge of debt by placing a lien on the STRAWMAN accts like bills, taxes, loans, the birth certificate, social security card. You the human are the creditor to the strawman. Your life is your credit!! The UCC-1 is tricky so I am still in the process of researching that part. But for now, I'd recommend everyone here file your fictitious name.


This is how all these a-holes get away with this!!!!!!! So why not take back what is yours?

This is schizo-tier nonsense. Legality is a fiction designed for the peasant class. The elites are not bound to it and you're not going to overthrow them by some magical legal trick. They're not going to pay you billions because you filed the right form. If by some insane law of the cosmos they did have to pay you billions for filing the right form (which they won't) then they'd just kill you instead.

You might successfully confound the legal system for a few months or years because it's a bureaucratic tangle of nonsense. But there have been lots and lots of people who have fallen for this fictitious name stuff and been sent to prison for their antics.

[APeacefulWarrior]

Yeah, honestly GS, this is stuff that A)is not true, and B)could get you into real trouble if you pursued it.  And I don't mean "They're trying to stop the truth" trouble, I mean plain old fashioned "filing bunk tax returns " trouble. The Wiki alone has six separate citations for people going to jail for taking this stuff far enough that they were screwing up their official paperwork over it. Nor has any court ever agreed with the idea that your name in all caps refers to anyone other than you. And it goes without saying that no court has ever upheld these claims of people's names being worth big money.

Seriously, you're about to tumble down a rabbit hole that gets real dark if you fall too far. Just ask yourself: If this is real, where are all the millionaires and billionaires who've cashed in on it?

Hi GreatSpirit,

Some of this is absolutely correct - certainly, you are correct about the existence of the STRAWMAN account.

However, I would not want to touch UCC stuff. The UCC is the law of the bankers. When you play in the world of the bankers, you CONSENT to their rules, and to face their agents - in other words, the Judges in full maritime law. You can't claim to be a sovereign when you attach yourself to their rules - you would just be enslaving yourself in a different way.

There is no chance for true freedom that way. I've been down that path before - it leads nowhere. Some are in jail as a result - the commercial lien stuff in the first link can really p*&s certain folks off. When you start a fight, the ones with the more powerful weapons usually win.

The link needs to be severed, but severed differently than what these guys in the links you gave are proposing.

The way to do it will be under the "Common Law of God", where the ties between you and those fictional entities are severed. If you do it right, with the right backing, they cant go after you with that status and jurisdiction, in the United States. We are working on it now, and the process will be approved at the highest level.

I'm not trying to talk you out of researching this, rather, I'm trying to tell you to be very careful with this. This stuff sounds really attractive and it's sold well on those sites, but you are playing with fire.

My understanding is that those who "own" us on paper is the Vatican, btw.

[Coordinate_Apotheosis]

My strawman account is worth about I imagine literally less than 10k, probably even 5k...

Even then, don't mess with the IRS man.  They will rob you homeless.  All of this legality sounding stuff can be nullified by a legal source or legal counselor citing laws and a lack of laws to their own interpretation, while labeling you a...Schizo-tier nonsensical idiot.  And I know you're not an idiot, so I'm going to say even if this is true, I wouldn't put all your pieces on its ability to stop some self-proclaimed authority from imprisoning you for not playing by their rules.

Be cautious on your travels into the realms and dimensions of...The Legal!

Can you elaborate more on this?  That sounds like a dream come true...

[Spooner]

Human legality itself is a fiction. It's a covering for the law of the jungle. Basically whomever can kill you get's to kill you unless you convince them otherwise (usually by being a "good" citizen). Don't imagine there are any rules you can bind these people to other than the law of force.

Do you think yelling "I'm a sovereign citizen" will stop a rabid dog? Can signing some obscure piece of paper stop the police baton from crushing your skull? No of course not. The policeman and the soldier will do as they're told and by and large they are directed by men without conscience who routinely flaunt the law as much as possible. The law is a fiction which we usually agree to live by in order to avoid constant war. The Elite live by their own rules because THEY CAN. It is nothing more. The Bankers and their ilk are not going to honor any contract that doesn't interest them unless forced to. You're falling prey into superstitious thinking. That is the way of madness.

[ScottK]

Can you elaborate more on this?  That sounds like a dream come true...

Ok, I'll give it a shot, but there's a lot to it..

The United States is unique in history in that the founding fathers designated The People as the Sovereigns.  "We the People" at the start of the Constitution means that The People created the government, so The People are above the government.  All other governments of countries in the world have been founded on the supposed divine providence of a monarch, and hence, the people are subjects of that monarch.

So, in law, at the time of founding of the government, the constitution nor any law promulgated by the government applied to the people.  The Founding Fathers were Christians who wanted to live under Common Law, so thus, The People lived under Common Law - Statutory law only applied to the government and government officials.  Common Law is when Juries decide civil and criminal matters, without any written law.  It is about settling disputes by listening to what happened, and figuring out who did right and who did wrong.

So what the government did (with the help of the Orion Group for sure) was to engineer a set of deceptive contracts which would opt the people slowly into Statutory Law and ownership by other entities.  These contracts include the birth certificate, marriage license, baptisimal certificate, social security, driver's license, voter registration, IRS forms, etc.

All of these contracts need to be nullified or reshaped in the right way in order to help you to operate in commerce.  Maybe we might use a negative averment with notary witness for one, and maybe just a letter for another.  Each one is different.  Then once you do that, you need to not establish new unwanted contracts in your daily life.  You need to be able to open bank and financial accounts in the right way.  It's the type of thing that I'm sure we will have substantial education on since it's complicated.  How it will eventually be rolled out - I have no idea.  Quietly I'm sure.

The problem today is that there is an enormous amount of disinformation in material out there about sovereignty and how to become sovereign.  There's some truth mixed in with a lot of false stuff.  If you do it wrong, it's not good..  Along with UFO's and spirituality, it's probably one of the top disinformation programs of the CIA.  The government doesn't particularly like their authority to be challenged, so throwing the people off with disinformation is a strategy they would undertake.

I'm not an expert on these particular matters, just FYI.

Does that help?

It will probably become less important to do these things once the financial system crashes and government is forced to live within their means, but I know I will be doing it anyway.

[GreatSpirit]

Trust me people....this financial crap is NOTHING compared to what I know that really goes on behind the scenes. This is baby sh** to me man.

I appreciate all the concerns. I'm no expert in commercial law and with my luck I probably would screw something up big time, especially with the UCC1 form.

But when a people that I belong to that are physically enslaved by Devil worshipping businessman who have no problem at all killing you, yes I have a problem with that and action needs to be taken. I really doubt anyone of us incarnated here for pure enjoyment. I came here to kick some arse and to help these people.

If I die trying, then I die and go back home. Its that simple.

But at least I was the one who didn't give in to fear and did what I could to help. People die because of information like this. This is fact. We are the one's that give them the power to do this. Although we were tricked, we are still partly responsible for this madness. It's a human problem and Ra sure as hell can't do much about that [if you believe in that stuff.]

I'll gladly pay my taxes and fair share as long as it is being used to help my community. But it isn't. It all goes to Devil worshippers. This nonsense needs to stop. I imagine myself in a very regal/powerful voice telling the Cabal...."YOU WILL STOP THIS!!"

I've concluded the best I myself can do really is to pray for President Trump and Putin and that the Cabal are overthrown and keep researching/dishing out info to the common person.

[APeacefulWarrior]

So, GreatSpirit, how EXACTLY do you think that you'll be harming your enemies by getting yourself thrown in prison and ruining your life?

And, perhaps more importantly, how would that NOT be a victory for your enemies, hmm? I mean, if I were a hugely-powerful organization who wanted to destroy my foes, I would think it highly advantageous to find ways to trick them into destroying themselves. After all, the best way to win a war is to not fight the war in the first place.

Honestly, which of these potential scenarios sounds more likely to you?

1 - The government really does have billions and billions of money they're somehow "forced" to hand out and\or undo all the debt someone owes if that someone fills out a bunch of paperwork in EXACTLY the right way (despite there being no evidence of anyone ever managing to do this), or

2 - It's all a bunch of bullsh*t which will trick you into destroying yourself by breaking much more mundane laws.

I mean, not to be snarky, but if someone told you that you could fight the bad guys by throwing yourself into a volcano, would you do it? These "sovereignty" theories are just an invitation to self-destruction. Whether they were deliberately created as such, I have no idea, but that's still the end effect. I appreciate your desire to do service and help others, but you're currently on a path towards attempting it in a way which will -at best- accomplish nothing, and will at worst severely compromise your ability to do any more service in the future.

There are many, many ways of doing positive service. Why not pick one with a greater chance of actually helping people?

We are on the same page. I do not consent to this either.

I would add Generals Mattis, Kelly, Dunford and the folks behind them to your list too. The takedown of the negative elite will be a heck of a show.

I'd advise that you take the red pill. If you want to just sit back and watch the show, then great. Be a spectator. No one is stopping you.

You're pretty defensive about this stuff. Reminds me of people back in the 2000s when it was revealed the authorities were indeed spying on ALL Americans via key-words. This was before Snowden too. You know what my mom said about this?? "Well I have nothing to hide!!" Such ignorance.

It's like a couple having sex with a man in authority watching them but the couple says "well we have nothing to hide and its the law!" Just shoot me already lol!!! Would you want that???

It will all end soon enough friends. I'd still welcome capitalism or even socialism as long as its conducted in a fair and mature manner.

[APeacefulWarrior]

Wow, man. I said what I said specifically because I don't want to see you to totally screw up your life. Instead, you ignored everything I actually said and basically treated it like a personal attack.

Seriously, this would be a good time to take a step back and re-evaluate the situation. Look through this thread. No one here thinks that this is a productive way of accomplishing your goals. While our ways of getting to the conclusion have varied, the common element in the substantive replies here is that people are saying "No, don't pursue this, it won't end well." Even ScottK and I agree on this, and that's gotta be a first. And so we're trying to get you to think about this a little more.

But if you're refusing to even think about questions like "Am I sure this is a real thing?" when a whole bunch of people around you are trying to wave you off, don't you think that's a legit sign that you SHOULD be thinking about those questions?

[ScottK]

You're pretty defensive about this stuff.

I wouldn't call it defensiveness. It's more along the lines of him knowing he's right and telling you over and over and over until you see things his way.

It's really pretty silly.

I like how you say this as though you didn't also advise him against pursuing this UCC business. Or have you decided it's now more important to take swipes at me, rather than helping encourage GS not to do something with an very high likelihood of backfiring badly?

Also, at least I admit that I'm stubborn. You accusing me of it and then calling it "silly" is definitely a pot-calling-the-kettle-black situation.

[Spooner]

You are right APeacefulWarrior, but ScottK is kinda right too. It is a little silly to argue with someone who doesn't want to be informed.

I'm not the message board's Den Mother. I offered my opinion. I'm sure he read it. He's a big boy. He has free will. Maybe it's exactly what he should be doing; maybe it's not; maybe he will find the meaning of his existence in the process. Who knows? It's not my call, nor am I his keeper.

How are you smart/omniscient enough to know what he should be doing? If you answer that question fully and sensibly and in line with the teachings of the Law of One, I will retract the word "silly".

[APeacefulWarrior]

Wow, seriously. You are actually attempting to imply that it's fine for you to offer your opinion about what he does with his life, but it's "silly" when I do it... even when we're both offering the same advice. That's a stunning amount of deflection. Or does it just pain you that much to find us on the same side of an issue? :-<

Also, if you take a look, the only thing I literally said he SHOULD be doing is thinking hard about his choices about what he does with his life. I wasn't telling him what to do in any concrete terms. I was just asking questions like "What do you think will happen if you do this?" and "Which of these outcomes seems more likely?" And that's absolutely in line with the LOO. Growth in wisdom and gaining better ability to evaluate the likely outcomes of one's actions are part of the journey back towards Unity and Oneness.

But you're right. He has free will, and -as an aside- it's nice to see you recognizing free will in others rather than blaming scapegoats. If he really wants to do this, he can and will. If he ends up in prison, that will undoubtedly be an activity full of catalyst for him to learn from. We can't stop him. I'm still not going to apologize for having enough empathy to care about this situation, though, or for encouraging someone to think hard before taking a possibly-extreme action.

No. I would expect you to offer your opinion. It's the over and over and over part that's bothersome. You'll keep doing it, I'm sure - free will and all, but it's my free will to point it out, then your free will to call yourself the victim. Silly is a good word for it.

This is where you really don't know what you are talking about. I know several people who have done systems like this. Additionally, I have several dozen acquaintances who have done systems like this. Out of those people, one has served jail time tangentially related to this, however, he was a public figure with too big of an ego and it was related to the other stuff he was doing. He actually could have saved himself if he wasn't so stubborn. It was much like Al Capone going to jail for tax evasion.

It is extremely unlikely GS would be prosecuted for this, unless he got really, really, really involved with it, and dropped huge maritime liens on government officials. If he would choose to pick a fight, the opposition has the bigger firepower and he will lose. The largest issue he will have to face is having to unwind this stuff later on, if he should choose to proceed. And the reason for unwinding it is for something that you would dismiss without a second thought.

I do not condone this though. I know it doesn't work anymore. Some had some initial success with it, but the judges circled the wagons at some point. The concept absolutely has merit, but fails in the way it is executed at this point.

He's at least trying to free himself, and he is not in denial - I cannot fault him for that.

You don't even try to understand what the problem is.

[APeacefulWarrior]

And now you're trying to pull the "calling yourself a victim" card on me, simply because I dispute you calling my actions silly when you're doing the same thing as me. Man, there really is nothing you can't project on me, is there? Especially considering that you've now re-iterated your own opposition to GS's actions at least as many times as I have. Apparently, you really can't handle us being on the same side of this issue.

Not to mention, of course, this isn't JUST about GS, considering he was encouraging others to pursue the UCC thing as well. So our various reasons for saying it's a bad idea for GS to pursue it also become reasons for anyone else looking at this thread to also not pursue it. How silly of us!

Well, whatever. I have, in fact, said my piece and I'm going to wander on.

[Coordinate_Apotheosis]

I personally perceive you two as being so similar that like magnets you repulse each other energetically.

Maybe if you each spoke to one another as if you were yourself (iterally just in a different time but in the same place) and see if you both can't get along better and discuss things with one another without defense or labels, but just open honest opinions even if they clash.  You can agree and disagree, you don't need to pick a side, you could just be as you want without concern for such things.

I'd say more but I'm biased since I like you both.

I guess I'll just say, you both need to stop being so pointed and round out when interacting.  You two don't need to connect like magnets.  Just enjoy each other~

[GreatSpirit]

Chill guys. I'm not going to pursue the UCC1 thing myself.

The problem isn't going through this hell of an ordeal to access MASTER ACCOUNT. Getting shot is the problem.

There is supposedly the form 1455 I think that is downloadable on the IRS website, in which a debit card can be issued to access the MASTER ACCOUNT. Corporations don't have to interview, but individuals must go under a 36 hour interview. $999,999 is the limit per day. You can research this.

I apologize for making this thread. I've realized I would be putting people in jeopardy with the UCC1. I really just want to bring awareness of the issue and everyone else would who was interested would just proceed from that point in their own way. If you don't want to look into stuff like this, then don't.

But I fully intend to go ahead with my Business Name. Anyone else is welcome to join and give feedback.

This is a disturbing piece of info found at http://ixoramaizonet.com/2016/04/importa...step-guide

"Let us say, for example,  America crumbles or something, haha. And China comes in and takes control of your name & of your estate. They can just come and scoop you up and throw you in the back of a van – no explanations needed! Now you’re working on a rice farm somewhere in Jinkgeng wearing a conical straw hat. But guess what Jackie Chan, That’s what you get for not claiming your name."

[Spooner]

I have literally been a soldier in an invading Army. We did not need special name magic paperwork to f*** people up, detain them forever, or even kill them. If someone had started yelling at us about how they had filed some form so we had no legal right to blah blah blah, we would have ignored them and if they didn't stop we would have beat them until they shut up then proceeded to do whatever we had wanted from the beginning. Superstitions will not save you.

I'm not excusing my or my peers' behavior as it is morally indefensible; I'm just trying to be realistic with you on what to expect from thugs/police/military/global elites etc.

[Coordinate_Apotheosis]

Yeah well watch out if you're a thug then.

More and more people are DONE with those kind of people and WILL take violent action if it doesn't stop.

You have people collecting metal to make garage guns just to bypass gun laws.  Others have been quietly threatening abusive authorities.

Some of those abusive authorities have already been taken and killed by people who aren't going to just be a good silent b****, others more openly assault officers (such as in my state when a person tried to ram and murder three officers standing by a parked cruiser).

Thugs can push but I promise you unless a military starts opening fire on civilians, if police don't calm their s*** down they will have to deal with an entire population, and they won't just be screaming and yelling then, they'll be holding weapons.  Whether its a pitchfork, a gun, or a home made fire bomb.

At least of you push hard enough.

Its not that hard to start a riot.  From there its not that hard to declare war on an abusive corrupt 'law' enforcement group whom hires people that say they're above the law.

That road above the law goes both ways.  Gun down (read: murder in cold blood) enough people and you'll get a reaction.  Do it even more and you'll get retaliation.

Lets be happy it hasn't escalated and that its in the light and being worked against instead of quietly pushed aside and ignored.

I personally believe that officers should be subject to twice as strong penalties for breaking the law.  Military soldiers are, and the police are basically a militia.  They used a robot with a bomb to kill a sniper in Texas just last year.
They need to be held to higher standards or thrown in prison the moment they break the law severely.  No buffee, no resistance and help.  If I shoot a person who's hands are up, I get charged with murder.  When an officer does it, they go right back to work.

Its a very backwards and rather pathetic system.

[Spooner]

Well precisely. The legal system is an unspoken agreement to "not go there." And mostly it works great. But it's not magical. It's not going to deliver up unlimited money or protect you from an invading Army.
