    by William L. Benge

    When the state claims rights to a person’s agency, it is an egregious offense against the commons – because first, it is untruthful and damages the informational commons; and second, the presumption doubles it’s trouble to create an even greater crime of staking a false claim on life-property (one’s means of agency); and third, stakes a claim upon agency itself.

    When should this go unanswered?

    From here, natural law insists on prosecution: doors get kicked in and guillotine blades get sharpened. Oh yeah.

    Their presumption won’t be repeated anytime soon.

    Funny how memory works like that.

    —“When I first began reading you Curt, the difficulty was understanding your implied word definitions, many of which conflicted with my own, and therefore made some of your arguments seem nonsensical. Like any new vocabulary, once I learned the language, your arguments seem quite simple. That’s not an insult but a heroic compliment. As an example, I considered myself a libertarian on most topics for years. You dismantled that crap and altered my viewpoint more simply than roasting a chicken.”— Jim Leis (Made. My. Day.)

    (birth certificate)(from elsewhere) I rec’d one of the early copies of the pdf, along with a request to review it, and the cuts and pastes were still visible, (pdf’s store revision history just like word documents) and it was obvious that the background was added to the xerox copy afterward as an under-layer. It was a clumsy photocopy, cut, and paste job with an artificial background. There is good reason the original is gone (destroyed). My understanding, and the best explanation I have seen so far, is that data was copied and pasted from other certificates in the same hand in order to replace the uncomfortable data. I probably have it somewhere on an old hard drive, if I went looking for it. So as far as I know it was the work of a clumsy forger. I don’t even think it’s open to question.

  • Social Stratification By Demonstrated Merit.

    by Bill Joslin This undergirds my issue with intergenerational transfer of title status, as well status by recognition. I’ll deal with the later fist. A corporate body which grants status by recognition – for instance induction into peerage provides a means corrupting market information via gatekeeping. An alternative, which you can find in brehon law, stems from demonstration alone. You demonstrate position. For instance in brehon law a Freeman was defined by the holder of two lots of a set size. If a Freeman extended his landholding to a particular size he would rise in status to an interim landholder. If these lands were held over two generations the family would be considered official nobility. What dictates membership to elite status stems from demonstration not recognition. If you demonstrate ability, it can not be denied or ignored. Intergenerational transfer should be combined with demonstration of ability at the coming of age. The “shrrt sleeves” are not always passed on or received across generations. If offspring do not demonstrate worthiness they lose the social-political standing. The combination of the above prevents spoiled children of great people from “gaming” the system to protect their status (gatekeeping) and incentivizes those who have risen to ensure their offspring are capable or risk losing their legacy. I could go into more reasons but this covers the gist of it.
