I can't speak for others but I am protesting the dictatorial MONARCHY
SYSTEM along with its ROMAN MUNICIPAL LAW as so adopted that is, the
dictatorial ROMAN LAW OF PERSONS. "Taxes" is simply an "attribute" of
this CORRUPT SYSTEM. And I hate DIRTY LAWYERS such as this compulsive

"Canada is not a corporate venture, and does not belong to the Queen.
She is just the head of state, just as the President of the United
States is the head of state in the United States." - Stephen Jenuth
Not worth mentioning you dirty lying sack of shit??? hahaha yes that's
right, the QUEEN - the SOVEREIGN - a CORPORATION SOLE is bigger than
parliament. Her Majesty the Queen IN RIGHT of "Canada". And of course
only a DIRTY LAWYER who is out to deceive the readership would equate
the Queen and the President as equivalent entities just because they
happen to share a certain function.
"Canada" is what they call a constitutional monarchy.

Webster's 1828 Dictionary
MON'ARCHY, n. [Gr. See Monarch.]
1. A state or government in which the supreme power is lodged in the
hands of a single person. Such a state is usually called an empire or
a kingdom; and we usually give this denomination to a large state
only. But the same name is sometimes given to a kingdom or state in
which the power of the king or supreme magistrate is limited by a
constitution, or by fundamental laws. Such is the British monarchy.
Hence we speak of absolute or despotic monarchies, and of limited
monarchies.
A free government has a great advantage over a simple monarchy.
2. A kingdom; an empire.
----------
A Law Dictionary
by John Bouvier
MONARCHY, government. That form of government in which the sovereign
power is entrusted to the hands of a single magistrate. Toull. tit.
prel. n. 30. The country governed by a monarch is also called a
monarchy.
----------
The Century Dictionary
Constitutlonal monarchy. See monarchy.
monarchy
1. Supreme power wielded by a single person; absolute personal
authority.
2. The principle of government by a monarch; the monarchical system.
3. A government in which the supreme power is either actually or
nominally lodged in the hands of a monarch or sole ruler, who holds
his posit!on for life, generally with hereditary succession.
"There have been elective monarchies, in which the successor to a
deceased sovereign was chosen without obligatory regard to the
hereditary principle; but this principle has finally prevailed, to the
exclusion of choice, in all existing civilized monarchies. The former
kingdom of Poland was a purely elective monarchy. The German-Roman
empire was originally, and always nominally, elective; but for many
centuries the chosen successor was almost invariably the heir of the
former emperor. An absolute or despotic monarchy is one in which the
will of the monarch or sovereign is supreme over all other authority
or powers of government; a limited or constitutional monarchy, one in
which the sovereign is limited to the exercise of particular powers or
functions by the laws or constitution of the realm. More or less
limited monarchies have nearly always existed. About the fifteenth
century a noteworthy increase of the power of the sovereign took place
(as in England under Edward IV., in France under Louis XI., in ,spain
under Ferdinand the Catholic and Charles V.). Till the close of the
eighteenth century the prevalent theory and practice on the continent
constituted nearly unrestricted absolutism; this has now almost
disappeared from Europe, while still maintaining a foothold in Asia.
But whether absolute or limited, the monarch is theoretically regarded
as the source of all power, and all acts of government are done in his
name. The obvious definition of a monarchy seems to be that of a state
in which a single person, by whatsoever name he may be distinguished,
is intrusted with the execution of the laws, the management of the
revenue, and the command of the army. But, unless public liberty is
protected by intrepid and vigilant guardians, the authority of so
formidable a magistrate will soon degenerate into despotism." -
Gibbon.
----------
Yes indeed, a "monarchy" is a body politic and corporate whose
"government" denotes a SINGLE "person" (monarch) who is intrusted with
the EXECUTION of the LAWS, the management of its REVENUE, and the
COMMAND of its ARMY. This "person" which denotes the "government" is a
CORPORATION sole also known as the "Queen"- the SOVEREIGN of the body
politic and corporate who holds the EXECUTIVE POWER.

"The signification in Our Jurisprudence .... The word 善erson, in its
primitive and natural sense, signifies the mask with which actors, who
played dramatic pieces in Rome and Greece, covered their heads. These
pieces were played in public places. and afterwards in Such vast
amphitheaters that it was impossible for a man to make himself heard
by all the spectators. Recourse was had to art; the head of each actor
was enveloped with a mask, the figure of which represented the Part he
was to play, and it was so contrived that the opening for the emission
of his voice made the sounds clearer and more resounding, vox
personabat, when the name persona was given to the instrument or mask
which facilitated the resounding of his voice. The name persona was
afterwards applied to the part itself which the actor had undertaken
to play, because the face of the mask was adapted to the age and
character of him who was considered as speaking, and sometimes it was
his own portrait. It is in this last sense of personage, or of the
part which an individual plays, that the word persona is employed in
jurisprudence, in opposition to the word man, homo. When we speak of a
person, we only consider the state of the man, the part he plays in
society, abstractly, without considering the individual". 1 Bouvier痴

You are dismissed.
StaR
Q 2) You wish.
StaR, you just played out your flawed thought process for all to see.
According to you the United States can have no authority other than
that of a corporation.
Above we see you use the logical fallacy of composition in which
because a part of a whole has a certain property, you argue that the
whole has that property. The truth is that whole may be composed of
different parts.
In other words you can't think, StaR.
When Bouvier states that the United States government has the powers
of a sovereign nation granted it by the Constitution, you simply
pretend that those powers don't exist. Hence you never quote the
meanings and usages of the terms "United States" and "nation" which
sustain functions of U. S. government.
You never quote the rest of what Bouvier has to say because you know
it doesn't back you up.
One has to wonder if your deceptions are willful or just the result a
profound ignorance.
This mindless trait of your was first evidenced On David-Wynn:Miller's
wall when you attempted to tell us that Miller's cherry picked
definitions of words were the only acceptable ones merely because the
"great language guru", Miller, had said so.
You are aping that nut case by telling us that governments are only
what YOU tell us they are, not what the law says they are.
And any debunker who calls you on your gambit is subjected to the
argument by ridicule, no as a sane line of reasoning, but for the for
the purpose of reinforcing the core values of the detax subculture.
Yawn...If you insist.
>StaR, you just played out your flawed thought process for all to see.
>
>According to you the United States can have no authority other than
>that of a corporation.
The United States of America is a CORPORATION with its powers defined
within its constitution. Learn how to read, the above states that it
can be considered a CORPORATION in the extensive sense in that it is a
BODY POLITIC and that it is SUSCEPTIBLE OF OBLIGATIONS AND LAWS
>Above we see you use the logical fallacy of composition in which
>because a part of a whole has a certain property, you argue that the
>whole has that property. The truth is that whole may be composed of
>different parts.
The above states that it can be considered a CORPORATION in the
extensive sense in that it is a BODY POLITIC and that it is
SUSCEPTIBLE OF OBLIGATIONS AND LAWS. This is TRUE for any CORPORATION
created by LAW. The POWERS conferred by their INSTRUMENTS is DEPENDENT
on the INSTRUMENT itself.
So, when the United States of America is considered as a BODY POLITIC,
it is a CORPORATION (artificial person).
When the United States of America is considered as being SUSCEPTIBLE
of OBLIGATIONS (contracts), it is a CORPORATION (artificial person).
When the United States of America is considered as being SUSCEPTIBLE
of LAWS (anything vs USA), it is a CORPORATION (artificial person).
When you are considered as having a brain, you are an IDIOT and you
know jack shit.
That pretty well covers everything.
StaR
Q 3) So the United States is artificial!
Hells bells, boy, did it take you ten years of study to figure that
out?
Shit fire, you dumb ass, every grade school child knows the Founding
Fathers made the United States up out of thin air.
DUH?
The point is the United States, like every other sovereign nation, has
the authority to make binding law.
You just admitted as much when you tripped up and said the United
States government has it powers defined by the Constitution and NOT
from your twisted interpretations of Bouvier and case law.
That's why you never quote the Constitution . . .it doesn't back you
up!
The authority to tax is granted in Section 8, which says:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties,
Imposts and Excises. . ."
The authority to tax incomes comes from the 16th amendment, which
says:
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes,
from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several
States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
Your warmed over Warman argument that one may simply break some sort
of contract has been rejected by U.S. courts countless times.
You can peddle your theory all you want but the plain fact is it has
already been shot down in open court and here on this wall.
Now you will, we can be sure, say that the Constitution does not apply
to "flesh and blood men".
So please tell us the basis in constitutional law for that claim.
Substance is required.
Q 4) StaR's avoidance has become boooooooring.
He avoids definitions he doesn't like.
He avoids law he doesn't like.
He even avoids his own theories when he needs governmental services to
get his health care needs met or his trade licensed.
Booooooooooooring.....................
> "Nations" or "States" are CORPORATIONS.
As you will see even from your own quotations, nations have been
considered corporations in the US only in a very broad definition
of the word. Its not the ordinary defintion of the word.
But it really makes no difference for tax law.
