Freeman of the land/Sovereign Citizen – the Fraud, the Scam, the Harm by Elizabeth Marshall

As of late I have been receiving a number of emails, calls, etc., about the “free-man-of-the-land” and “sovereign citizen” movement.  All I can say is that this is a scam.  The latest is, those promoting this movement are, using the “Statute Law Revision Act” (SLRA) of 1893 and are saying that our Nation is a “scam.” 

Apparently, they are attempting to destroy our constitution by saying that Queen Victoria “repealed” the “British North America Act, 1867” (BNA) because the “enacting clause,” of the BNA, was repealed in the SLRA.  The BNA/Constitution was not, as there was a proclamation,[1] by Queen Victoria, enacted on May 22, 1867.  These people are making completely false statements trying to support their egregious movement and are harming Canadians.

Firstly, yes you must pay your property taxes and other taxes.  Your property taxes pay for services rendered.  This includes road maintenance, town halls, jails, schools, etc.  You all need to understand that if you do not support these services, through your taxes, you must do mandatory labour.  Yes, you must go out and clear the road in front of your property; you must ensure there are no pot-holes; you must ensure you are doing all the maintenance on your section of that road. This is merely an example of why you must pay taxes. 

Natural resources can only fund so much through the royalties into the Consolidated Revenue Fund.  If you are upset, about the amount of taxes you are paying, you need to communicate that to your elected officials and tell them they need to get the costs of government under control.  That is also why there are elections and it is democracy that is used to control the amount of taxes, amongst other issues.  Really, it’s up to you but only if you exercise your rights.

Secondly, you must have a driver’s licence.  You are paying your toll for the use of the road.  This goes back pre-Magna Carta and anyone who says you do not need a driver’s licence is misleading you into committing a violation of the law and a violation of the constitution.

Thirdly, and for the life of me I cannot understand how anyone can say they don’t have to pay their mortgage.  If you go to any financial institution, or to anyone, to obtain a loan and then decide you don’t have to pay that loan back, you are committing fraud and theft. How nonsensical is anyone, who thinks they can borrow money at a minimal interest rate and then decide they don’t have to pay it back?  What happens if someone borrows money from them and then decides not to pay it back?  What are people thinking?

Fourthly, birth certificates.  Wow, I’ve heard enough about this to sink a ship.  No, you are not being incorporated.  Some will have capital letters, some will not.  It all depends on when you were born and whether or not the person typing out the certificate has the caps-lock on.  What are birth certificates, you might ask, and why do we have them?  They are part of the census.  This gives government the information regarding the number of people there are (i) being born in Canada, (ii) what the amount of government transfers are to be, and (iii) to send out the large or small census to understand the needs in areas of Canada.  Let’s all use some common sense, shall we.

There are a number of topics that have been brought to my attention, but suffice it to say, the BNA and all of our constitutions remain intact in one form or another.  Yes, you must pay your taxes, whether you think you need to or not. 

Yes, you must have a driver’s licence or you are committing, yet another fraud. As expressed in Magna Carta, only farm equipment is exempt and that is so food can be produced. (Yes, it is stated there and continues in our laws).

Yes, you must pay your mortgages and/or any loans back.  Again, if you don’t you are committing fraud and theft.  You have no honour and your word means nothing if you don’t.

Yes, you need a birth certificate and no, that certificate is not “incorporating you.”  It is a means of a census for transfers, etc., so use some common sense.

Again, the above are merely a few things people have asked about.  One needs to use their own common sense and not listen to those who would place you in harms way by telling you otherwise. So, do some reading (a lot actually), and stop listening to those who aren’t giving you the full information, you need, to make truly, lawfully, informed decisions.

Until next time….
