‘John Harris: a Freeman Under Article 61 of Magna Carta 1215’
There are some people in the sovereignty movement who are actively trying to disparage the term ‘Freeman’ by aligning the word with the word ‘fail’. These are posts on social media titled ‘Freeman Fails’. Why would anyone want to malign this word and deliberately turn their readers away from it?
As we know, the system, under its own rules, has to tell us the truth, but it does so alongside the lie to create disinformation. The truth is often presented with a lie to confuse us and prevent us from fully knowing the truth. The media will give us a truth sandwich, placing the truth in a paragraph between two paragraphs of lies: Lie, Truth, Lie. And the controlled puppets will do exactly the same in their social media posts.
They have recently tried to draw a distinction between a ‘Freeman’, who in their view is a failure when challenging the system, and a man who has been ‘Born Free’. They disparage ‘Freemen’ as ‘failures’ and then write about John Harris, elevating him from the status of ‘Freeman’ by saying that he was ‘born free’. They do this by using a clip from an interview that has been taken out of context. This post aims to present the evidence that ‘Freeman’ and ‘Born Free’ mean the same thing: a Sovereign Man.
In his talks about Sovereignty, John always said that he was born free. This term ‘born free’ relates to the status of the ‘Freemen’ described in Magna Carta 1215. They had the status of ‘freeholders’ and jurors in their local Hundred Court and it was in these courts that these ‘freemen’ created Common Law; the law of the people.
In his 2009 ‘It’s An Illusion’ tour, John Harris stated that he was in Lawful Rebellion under Magna Carta 1215 and said that as a living man, he was ‘free’ and only subject to the Common Law jurisdiction – see the slides and video of this talk below.
In the early 1970s, around the time that the Heath Government stopped the English constitution from being taught in schools, colleges, and universities, they decided to change the meaning of Common Law.
The Common Law as described in Magna Carta 1215, was intended to be decided by the people in a Trial By Jury where the role of judge was taken by the Jurors. In contemporary courts, we have Judges determining both the facts and the law, interpreting and applying the law, and deciding cases with a verdict, which creates Case Law.
Case Law is decided by Judges and not the people of the juries so it cannot be the Common Law because that was supposed to be made by the people for the people. In the video below, John Harris explains, as Lysander Spooner did in our previous post, that the jury has the discretion to use jury nullification of unfair government policies. This means the power is with the people to decide how they will be governed. He repeatedly says that as a living man, he was subject only to the Common Law, not the acts and statutes of the government corporation. He explains that statutory instruments are contracts made for Persons under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.
These Persons are implied corporations registered at Birth by the Birth Notification form that creates the Certified Copy of an Entry (Birth Certificate). Thus Persons are implied corporations limited by Contract Law, and not the living man or woman that was ‘born free’.
A Person operates in the legal realm as a persona, a mask, or a legal fiction, not a man or woman. This means that Persons are enslaved by the socially dominant members of society. Acts and statutes are not the law and only apply to the legal fiction, ALL CAPS name.
These are quotes from the slides John used for his ‘It’s An Illusion’ talk.
“The Magna Carta 1215 started the process of the separation of power (devolution) away from the Sovereign to a Parliament of Barons, on the pretence that Parliament was set up to represent us the people and to protect us from a tyrannous Sovereign.
