Money, as per Black's law, is defined predominantly as gold or silver coins, or certificates representing gold or silver. Paper money, like Federal Reserve notes, is not embraced within the definition of money. By studying the intentions of the Founding Fathers, it is argued that true money is gold or silver coins, instating a protective layer around the definition of money.
In contrast to the definition of money, the concepts of currency and funds incorporate notes, bills of exchange, and evidences of debt. While Federal Reserve notes are not classified as money, they fall under the definition of currency and funds. US dollars lack a clear and definitive definition, potentially being limited to promissory notes or bills of exchange.
Historically, gold and silver coins were used as currency, with the backing of physical assets providing intrinsic value. Over time, a shift towards fiat currency occurred, where paper money not backed by tangible assets became the norm. This transition led to the creation of money through the Federal Reserve, detached from real value, resulting in a system of debt-based 'money' creation.
Understanding legal endorsements on negotiable instruments like promissory notes is crucial in financial transactions. Special endorsements, when properly executed, allow individuals to control the exchange of currency with banking institutions by leveraging their original promissory notes. By issuing instructions like special endorsements, individuals can potentially alter the dynamics of financial agreements and transactions.
The podcast delves into the definition of a driver and the necessity of a driver's license. It emphasizes that individuals engaging in commercial activities like driving for Uber or DoorDash require a driver's license due to participating in commerce. However, it highlights the distinction that driving commercially in Texas specifically requires residency in the state. Additionally, it discusses the option of obtaining a diplomat passport as a means to assert the right to travel non-commercially.
The podcast highlights the passport as a crucial documentation for various reasons, such as working legally with just a passport, including aspects like employment eligibility verification. It underscores the versatility of a passport, enabling international travel and simplifying access to services like establishing a bank account. Furthermore, it outlines the benefits of having a passport in legal contexts, such as interactions with law enforcement officers.
The podcast delves into legal mechanisms related to vehicle ownership and travel rights, advocating for understanding documents like Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO) and Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO). It discusses how obtaining an MCO or MSO can assert ownership of a vehicle. Moreover, it explores the implications of processing these documents, like perceived ownership and potential legal disputes.
The podcast delves into the concept of paying taxes and how it may not necessarily contribute to national infrastructure but rather service debt and interests. It touches on the voluntary nature of paying income tax for US citizens and explores the idea of tax liability. Additionally, it discusses legal definitions related to taxpayers and the significance of contracts with the US corporation, pointing out the implications of revoking election and redefining terms like taxpayer and non-taxpayer.
The episode emphasizes the importance of self-education in understanding legal concepts and contracts to navigate interactions with authorities effectively. It highlights the value of diplomacy and clear communication in interactions with law enforcement, stressing the significance of educating willing individuals to create a deeper understanding. The conversation also connects personal responsibility, self-respect, and self-appreciation to navigating legal systems and contracts, ultimately promoting self-empowerment and societal harmony.
Let’s give a warm welcome back to Brandon Joe Williams for part two of our conversation around navigating the complex legal and financial systems that govern our lives. As a revolutionary thinker, lawyer, and the founder of The Amnesty Coalition, he's dedicated his career to empowering individuals with the knowledge and strategies they need to achieve greater autonomy and a more fulfilling life.
From understanding the true nature of money and the Federal Reserve to mastering the mechanics of financial endorsements and the business of debt, Brandon has a knack for taking dense, often confusing topics and making them accessible and actionable – common law for the common man.
In this episode, we kick things off by demystifying money and exploring its evolution from gold and silver to fiat currency. Brandon then walks us through the nuances of financial endorsements and how to leverage them. We also touch on the legal distinctions between traveling and driving, the ins and outs of property and tax contracts, how we can defer debt essentially forever, and the path to true personal freedom.
Brandon's insights are not just theoretical; they're practical, real-world strategies that can help you reclaim control over your life. But we also stress the importance of diplomacy and understanding the interpretations of these laws before you try to wield them.
Whether you're looking to understand the financial system better, navigate legal complexities, or simply live a more empowered life, Brandon Joe Williams is here to teach us how to play the game by new (old) rules.
