Birth certificate
Birth certificates are not merely administrative records — they are the foundational instruments by which the state claims legal jurisdiction over a human being as a corporate entity. Researchers in the sovereign citizen, natural law, and esoteric legal traditions argue the registered birth certificate converts a living man or woman into a government-owned 'strawman' — a legal fiction traded as a bond on international markets. The rabbit hole runs from UCC filings to Vatican canon law to the City of London.
Evidence
- According to researchers in the redemption and sovereign movement — including work cited by Dean Clifford and elaborated in Mary Croft's writing — the moment a birth is registered with the state, the government creates a legal fiction in the name of the child, spelled in all-capital letters on official documents.
- Walter Burien's research into Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFRs) points to government entities holding vast undisclosed investment pools.
- Jordan Maxwell spent decades documenting what he described as admiralty/maritime law governing civil life, arguing the hospital 'delivery' — a maritime term — of a child to the state creates a commercial vessel.
- In the health sovereignty space, researchers like Kate Shemirani in the UK have pointed to the birth registration system as the mechanism by which medical and legal authorities claim authority over children's bodies — an argument that gained traction during 2020–2022 policy disputes.
- This 'strawman' or 'cestui que vie trust' entity is distinct from the living flesh-and-blood person and is used as collateral backing government debt.
