The Strawman & Birth Certificate Misconceptions

Understanding the distinction between the living, natural individual and the legal corporate entity—commonly referred to as the "Strawman"—is foundational to comprehending statutory jurisdiction, legal personhood, and commercial status.

A key element of legal literacy requires examining how artificial names and legal constructs function within corporate and statutory law. LET THE LEGAL DEFINITIONS BE SUBMITTED TO EXAMINATION.

Legal & Lexicographical Definitions

Black's Law Dictionary — Stramineus Homo: "A man of straw, one of no substance, put forth as bail or surety."
Black's Law Dictionary — Strawman: "A front, a third party who is put up in name only to take part in a transaction... one who acts as agent for another..."
Webster's Dictionary — Strawman: "1. a weak or imaginary opposition set up only to be easily confuted. 2. a person set up to serve as a cover for a usually questionable transaction."

In short, the strawman is a weak, imaginary, passive stand-in for the real person or participant. Within commercial and statutory legal frameworks, the strawman functions as a mini-corporation—a "transmitting utility" created by United States Inc. using state-issued applications for birth certificates and social security numbers for corporate fictions to communicate with the living in commercial situations and transactions[cite: 10, 11].

The strawman is represented by the ALL-CAPITAL LETTER NAME displayed on state-issued birth certificates, driver's licenses, and government identification cards. It represents the artificial legal person created within the jurisdiction of the corporate government that individuals have been tricked into believing they are[cite: 11].

This artificial construct falls under the scope of the 14th Amendment, which defines statutory citizenship subject to federal corporate jurisdiction. However, the 14th Amendment only gave ancestors the opportunity to apply for U.S. citizenship—and with no record of application, living individuals are not inherently part of the system they attempt to escape[cite: 11]. Furthermore, disclaiming this tool owned by the United States is the first step in its proper commercial use[cite: 11].

The Strawman represents an artificial legal persona—a corporate transmitting utility created to interact with commercial and statutory legal systems[cite: 11].

Origins & Common Misconceptions

Deconstructing the Sovereign Citizen Movement & Proper Commercial Overstanding

Sometime in the late 1970s and early 80s, the Sovereign Citizen Movement began[cite: 11]. It consisted of colonial state citizens (white people) who realized the farce of the 14th Amendment and how everyone was robbed of gold and silver through the feigned bankruptcy of House Joint Resolution 192[cite: 11].

They discovered that the "transmitting utility" they called the "strawman" was created by the birth certificate and social security number[cite: 11]. They uncovered the corporate and administrative nature of enforced laws, as well as the commercial nature of enforcement venues[cite: 11].

They began developing and utilizing commercial procedure techniques, such as U.C.C. filings and other commercial ways and means, in attempts to assert their organic state citizenship and U.S. constitutional rights[cite: 11]. The U.S. government began calling them "paper terrorists"[cite: 11].

They introduced the strawman and all thinking related to capturing, killing, or controlling the strawman/birth certificate[cite: 11]. The problem is that they cannot capture, kill, or control something that (1) does not officially exist; and (2) they did not create[cite: 11]. Since its inception, very few have had lasting success, with many facing imprisonment or selling Redemption Manuals and paperwork packages[cite: 11]. Their dilemma is that state governments are part of H.J.R. 192 because state governors secretly agreed to the repeal of the Gold Clause, trapping them in a system created for them by them[cite: 11].

Sometime in the early 90s, Moors discovered the Sovereign Citizen Movement, and since that time, it has been one of the greatest distractions faced by people waking up from mental slavery[cite: 11]. Many have been indoctrinated into sovereign citizen thinking while attempting to combine Nationality with sovereign citizen tactics[cite: 11]. Federal court cases explicitly state that the two movements are not supposed to be combined, yet attempts to mix them persist[cite: 11].

A multitude continue to fail because they fail to understand key differences and factors[cite: 11]:

  1. Colonial Scope: The Sovereign Citizen Movement is only for colonial state citizens attempting to assert state citizenship status and sovereignty through commercial methods[cite: 11]. The Dred Scott case establishes that indigenous people cannot be state citizens[cite: 11].
  2. Territorial Standing: Sovereign citizens attempt to assert individual sovereignty in a land foreign to their lineage and can never be more than "citizens" of different states[cite: 11].
  3. Historical Track Record: Had sovereign citizen affidavits, notices, or quo warranto filings worked in the 80s or when first discovered, situations would have drastically changed decades ago[cite: 11].
  4. Status & the 14th Amendment: The 14th Amendment only provided ancestors the opportunity to apply for U.S. citizenship[cite: 11]. With no records of application, individuals are not part of the system they are trying to escape[cite: 11].

Misinformation continues to spread claiming Prophet Noble Drew Ali started a trust to protect a "vast estate"[cite: 11]. There is no evidence that Noble Drew Ali used "sovereign citizen" tactics or engaged in commerce other than helping to start legitimate businesses[cite: 11]. The strawman did not exist in Noble Drew Ali's time[cite: 11].

Commerce remains necessary to overstand in the context of performing actual upfront commercial transactions[cite: 11]. The strawman was created by United States Inc. as a transmitting utility for corporate fictions to communicate with the living in commercial situations[cite: 11]. It is a tool owned by the United States, and disclaiming it is the first step in its proper use[cite: 11].

Educational Media & Analysis

By understanding the operational mechanisms of the legal persona, the corporate state's reliance on legal identity, and the historical errors of sovereign citizen commercial tactics, individuals gain clarity on legal standing, jurisdiction, and the distinction between natural birthright and statutory classification[cite: 11].

Reclaiming proper legal status requires understanding how corporate identity structures were established and declaring one's true nationality and standing separate from artificial legal constructs and sovereign citizen fallacies[cite: 11].
