The Basics of Freedom presents simple explanations of the fundamental principles that provide the foundational structure for the United States government. Breaking down each clause and paragraph, Dr. Bey explicates the natural rights that each citizen has to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and highlights the ideals pertaining to the responsibilities of the government to its citizens and the civic duties of the citizens to the government. The Basics of Freedom is the first in a ase

Chapter 1

The Nature of Law

Law is that which governs the land, air, and water in the metaphysical and physical realms of reality. People are born with certain aspects of self that are endowed upon them by the Creator (Nature). For example, one must breathe, sleep, eat, forage for food, travel, sow one’s seed to perpetuate one’s bloodline through one’s progeny, own property, and have freedom. Those intrinsic and integral aspects of self are your rights, and are natural law. In fact, so much so that nations create constitutions and societal laws to preserve and protect those natural laws. Governments do not create your rights. Governments are obliged to enforce laws to protect your natural rights. Now natural rights are inalienable or unalienable (Declaration of Independence). This means these natural rights are so much of a part of you that those natural rights can’t even be transferred away from you, unless you voluntarily surrender them. Keep in mind that laws derive from man and governments acknowledging these natural rights. Natural rights are what gave birth to laws that are constructed for the purpose of the operations of nations. People can’t deal with societal affairs or affairs between nations without the preservation of the aspects of life that allow us to be and prosper. Thus, laws are devised, adhered to, and enforced.

Just as natural and universal laws govern all events transpiring throughout the universe, laws must govern all events transpiring in the social realm of man (male and female). The law is precepts and principles regarded as tenets by any given segment or part of a construct, especially a social construct. The concept and practice of principles and precepts existing to create and maintain order or structure is seen in the metaphysical and physical realm and is observed at the core of a properly organized household. Even in one’s individual life, principles and precepts must be created and maintained to construct character and to increase the likelihood of being successful in one’s personal and public endeavors. There is no realm of existence where a form of law doesn’t exist.

Chapter 2

You Exist as Two Forms of Life

People exist as a biological entity consisting of flesh, blood, and bones. According to law, people also exist as status. Status according to the letter of the law means “a person’s legal condition, whether personal or proprietary; the sum total of a person’s legal rights, duties, liabilities, and other legal relations, or any particular group of them separately considered,” “a person’s legal condition regarding personal rights but excluding proprietary relations,” “a person’s capacities and incapacities, as opposed to other elements of personal status,” or “a person’s legal condition insofar as it is imposed by the law without the person’s consent, as opposed to a condition the person has acquired by agreement” (Black’s Law Dictionary, tenth edition). This pretty much means a status determines what you legally can and can’t do. Also, it is a determination of what legally you are and are not entitled to. Your status will determine how you are viewed and dealt with according to law.

Now, keep in mind after reading the above definition of status that a person has multiple classifications in law. For example, according to the letter of the law, an artificial person is defined as “an entity, such as a corporation, created by law and given certain legal rights and duties of a human being; real or imaginary, who for the purpose of legal reasoning is treated more or less like a human being. An entity is a person for purposes of Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses but is not a citizen for purposes of the Privileges and Immunities Clauses in Article 4 sec. 2 and in the 14th Amendment” (Black’s Law Dictionary, tenth edition). The enactment of fourteenth amendment was when the United States citizens were created into law (Constitution for the United States of America, fourteenth amendment). We’ve very easily deduced that your status can legally be that of artificial person and you are entitled to due process and equal protection; however, you are simultaneously classified not a citizen, and you aren’t entitled to all the immunities and privileges of a citizen. And a citizen is defined as “someone who, by either birth or naturalization, is a member of a political community and being entitled to enjoy all its civil rights and protections; a member of the civil state, entitled to all privileges” (Black’s Law Dictionary, tenth edition). It’s telling you in the letter of the law, as clear as fresh air, you can be referred to as a person while simultaneously not referred to as a human being or a citizen. This would make you dead according to the letter of law.

There is even a phrase for such a legal death: civiliter mortuus. The phrase civiliter mortuus is defined as “a person civilly dead, deprived of civil rights” (Black’s Law Dictionary, tenth edition). The law is clear about a person being able to live and die outside of being a flesh-and-blood human being. I strongly advise the reader to ask oneself, “What is my lawful status?” For all you know, you can be existing in this society without lawfully being regarded and dealt with as a human being, only being extended equal protection and due process without immunities and privileges.

Contractual Snares

A contract is an instrument usually in the form of a document (paper and ink). A document is defined as “something tangible on which words, symbols, or marks are recorded. Traditionally, of course, the term embraced any piece of paper with information on it. Today the term also embraces any information stored on a computer, electronic device, or any other medium.” Documents also refer to “the deeds, agreements, title papers, letters, receipts, and other written instruments used to prove a fact” (Black’s Law Dictionary, tenth edition, Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(a)). You need the document to be evidence that can prove the existence of an agreement, and what the terms of the agreement are, which precede the document. The document normally is a result of the agreement. An agreement in law is defined as “a mutual understanding between 2 or more PERSONS about their relative rights and duties regarding past or future performances; a manifestation of mutual assent by two or more persons” or “the parties’ actual bargain as found in their language or by implication from other circumstances, including course of dealing, usage of trade, and course of performance” (Black’s Law Dictionary, tenth edition, UCC sec. 1–201(b)(3)). A document can also function as a verb: “to support with records, instruments, or other evidentiary authorities” or “to record; to create a written record” (Black’s Law Dictionary, tenth edition). Did you notice the term person in the lawful definition of the word agreement?

So a contract becomes a party to an agreement and sets terms of said agreement. The agreement is then recorded on paper with ink or other medium to exist as evidence of the terms and the agreement itself.

The reason for me thoroughly defining the intricacies of the meaning of contract is so you can clearly see that every document that relates to you, regardless of what it is (e.g., certification of birth, social security card, banking agreements, Internet service agreements, bills, cell phone contract, employment agreements, lease, and driver’s license). Anything that has recorded an agreement between you and another party or has your name on it, nine times out of ten it’s a contract. If you don’t know the terms of recorded agreements you’re a party to, you may be agreeing to terms that are not conducive for you.

In fact, the odds are in favor of most of the contracts you’re unknowingly a party to aren’t in your best interest. The best way to know the nature of any documents possessing your name is to research the history of the document. Find out where the document originates, the nature of the document, and the laws regarding the document. So you can determine if the document is obligating you to terms you never accepted or terms you weren’t aware of.

I suggest you start with your certification of birth. Find who implemented the document, the terms, and the goal that the document is supposed to facilitate. Also, learn how the purpose of the contract or document benefits you. You may learn that the contract is detrimental to you. Also, look into the reason you are required to possess a social security number as a primary form of identification, especially since a form of identification must either have a detailed description of you with a birthdate, a picture of you, or both. However, a social security card or number possesses neither. Yet you are deprived of access to the major operations of this society without the usage of a social security number. Why?

In fact, a social security number is in actuality a de facto (illegitimate but in effect) national identification number. Although social security numbers, according to the law, aren’t required to be disclosed, companies will more than likely refuse to provide services to you without the disclosure of a social security number. Interesting historical context surrounds the advent and administering of social security numbers, which dates back to the Great Depression and the New Deal, which was the advent of a series of programs, most notably social security, with the purpose of producing what was known as the three Rs (relief, recovery, and reform). Relief for the unemployed and impoverished, recovery of the financial state of the nation, and reform of the manner in which the financial affairs of the nation were to be transacted in order to avoid another depression. However, social security numbers aren’t a necessity for the operation of the republic or nation. Social security numbers are a tool to financially subjugate the constituency by keeping us bound to a system of business being dictated by parties that do not regard the best interest of the republic or the best interest of the constituency.

It’s more than just possible to uncover that you have surrendered your natural rights according to the terms of the contract. You may even learn in your everyday choices you are agreeing to the terms of a contract. You will definitely know that you would have made a lot of different choices if you were aware of the contracts you’ve unknowingly been made a party to. Knowing this, you can make wiser choices about what you agree to and what you sign. In fact, don’t be surprise after a bit of time learning about the contracts in your life, you find yourself contacting various agencies and rescinding or canceling several contracts. With some contracts, you may have to wait until the contract expires, then move in a wiser manner.

Basic Understanding of the Declaration of Independence

In this section of the book, we’ll examine a document that sets the terms in which the foundation of the republic of the United States of America is established, and agreed to by fifty-six representatives of fifteen states. The Declaration of Independence is comprised of over thirty clauses (sections). So we’ll examine the document a clause at a time. Some clauses are the size of a single sentence, and othe...
