NATURE AND CAUSE
The right of an accused party to be informed of the “nature and cause” of any criminal accusation is secured by the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution. This term refers to the two (2) elements that are absolutely essential for establishing any claim, charge, or demand as commercially and lawfully valid, whether criminal or civil, and without which any matter affirmed is devoid of credibility or legal force or effect:
· CAUSE. Only individual free-will men and women act; no nation, government, or agency acts. At the origin of each and every allegation and accusation is the man or woman who is the cause thereof. The cause of an accusation is therefore the accurately and verifiably identified particular man or woman who initiates the allegations, claims, or charges, the credibility of which is established by the degree of commercial liability the alleging party stakes on what he or she asserts. By initiating something that can result in harm or loss to another, the alleging party simultaneously agrees to be held personally, legally, and commercially accountable and liable for the accuracy, validity, relevance, and verifiability of everything the Affiant states, claims, or demands. The degree of credibility for whatever an alleging party states, claims, or charges is established by the extent of the liability the accuser places at risk, to be forfeited in the event anything he or she states is untrue or unlawful, in accordance with the Commercial Maxim: “Sacrifice is the measure of credibility.” * Consenting to be held unlimitedly commercially liable establishes unlimited credibility, and is effected by affidavit certified and sworn on the affiant’s unlimited commercial liability true, correct, and complete, not misleading, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Consenting to be held limitedly commercially liable establishes limited credibility, such as occurs whenever an attorney or public official declares “true and correct” as per 28 USC 1746 and stakes liability up to the limits of the insurance policy and bond of the attorney’s or public official’s office. Not consenting to be held commercially liable at all establishes on the record that everything such an alleging party asserts is of no force and effect in law, which occurs whenever any attorney or public official brings allegations, claims, or charges against someone and fails to provide proof of the commercial liability staked on whatever is stated or alleged. Only by providing to the accused party on demand a copy of the insurance policy and bond of the attorney or public official initiating or participating in the action can the attorney or official, who is acting under contract of limited liability, prove official authority, scope of functioning, solvency, and limit of liability. The information provided must also include the identity of the underwriter of the liability staked and all information necessary to file a claim against the insurance underwriting. This is true for every public official----attorney, police, clerk of the court, county recorder, judge, or otherwise----and any attorney or official on whom the demand for all essential insurance and bonding information is made who fails to provide the demanded information self-impeaches and self-invalidates every action, statement, writing, or testimony of that attorney or official in entirety.
· NATURE. The nature of an accusation is the proof, i.e. ledgering/bookkeeping set forth with a one-to-one accounting of goods or services provided or offenses committed with corresponding monetary values, with each and every matter established by affidavit sworn on the commercial liability of the executing party.
* MAXIMS OF COMMERCE. Commercial Law, the non-statutory variety as presented in Maxims 1-10, is the economic extension of Natural Law into man’s social world and is universal in nature. The Maxims of Commerce are the foundational, invariant, necessary, and sufficient principles.
9. Sacrifice is the measure of credibility. (One who is not damaged, put at risk, or willing to swear an oath on his commercial liability for the truth of his statements and legitimacy of his actions has no basis to assert claims or charges and forfeits all credibility and right to claim authority.) (Acts 7, life/death of Stephen, Legal maxim: “He who bears the burden ought also to derive the benefit.”). (Of all, this one is most important when dealing with any/all officials, and also happens to be my personal favorite.)
BARRATRY. In maritime law. An act committed by the master or mariners of a vessel, for some unlawful or fraudulent purpose, contrary to their duty to the owners, whereby the latter sustain injury. It may include negligence, if so gross as to evidence Fraud. In criminal law. Common barratry is the practice of exciting groundless judicial proceedings. (Black’s Law Dictionary. 1st Edition.)
Note: Both of the above definitions apply equally to the courtroom scenario. In the first, the “master” is the judge (in some states and counties, such as Clark County, Nevada, judges are officially referred to as “Masters”), the “mariners” are the attorneys, the “vessel” is your straw man, the only rightful “owner” of the “vessel” is you, and the “injury” to you the owner, is the loss of wealth or freedom. In the second, the judges and attorneys attempt to proceed against you without the requisite claim to do so, acting on behalf of artificial persons, fictitious entities, i.e. corporations/governments.
Pursuant to Erie Railroad v Tompkins (1938) 304 U.S. 64-92, the bankruptcy of 1933 had placed everything under the 14th Amendment. * Erie’s ruling that there was “no more general federal common law” was open admission of anarchy/tyranny. Law and contracts fell under a private, colorable Law Merchant in colorable admiralty-maritime, the “special federal common law” (see special) of the Uniform Commercial Code. Issues are decided in general (see general) equity (conscience of the court), not special equity (explicit terms of express contracts). Adopting private commercial paper as money resulted in an AT law mixture of public, maritime, bankruptcy, equity, etc., in the same court. The judge moves from one to the other as the situation indicates, including shifting from equity to admiralty in order to impose criminal penalties in civil matters. This why you must “post a bond”—something normally reserved for civil proceedings—on a misdemeanor traffic citation, a criminal proceeding (even though the matter is actually civil in nature). Arguing the Constitution is frivolous since one is in private, international, colorable, commercial/corporate contract Law Merchant pertaining to the “negotiable Instrument” used in all “monetary” transactions.
* Even though Article 1, § 10, of the Constitution, states: No State shall pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto Law.
