Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Protection Act of 1921 provided a
system of federal funding to enhance the health and welfare of women and
children. Grace Abbott, Julia Lathrop, and other feminist activists worked to get
the statute adopted, and it was consistent with the social goals of the women's
movement of the nineteenth century. Various medical groups, including the
American Medical Association, opposed passage. Funding under the act ended
in 1929, and the effort to achieve further federal support of such programs was
not successful until the New Deal.
In addition to its role in the history of women and welfare, the Sheppard-Towner
Act has a significant place in the history of federalism and the expanded role of
the federal government. The act for the first time said it was appropriate for
the federal government to respond directly to the needs of women and
children. This was and has remained a contested issue.

The Sheppard-Towner Act was passed by Congress in 1921. The legislation
authorized federal aid to states for maternity, child health, and welfare programs.
However, the Supreme Court ruled the act unconstitutional in 1922.

The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921, also called the Maternity Act, was a
milestone in the Progressive Era, providing for federal funding for social
services. Its purpose was to reduce infant and maternity mortality rates in the
United States, especially in poorer families. Promoted by progressives and
feminists, the law was attacked as "socialistic" by the American Medical
Association and others, and challenged in the Supreme Court.

Structure of the Birth Certificate
Did the State Pledge Your Body to a Bank?
Right: Some birth and marriage certificates are now "warehouse receipts,"
printed on banknote paper, which may mark you and yours as 'chattel'
property of the banks that our government borrows from every day.

A certificate is a "paper establishing an ownership claim." - Barron's
Dictionary of Banking Terms. Registration of births began in 1915, by the Bureau
of Census, with all states adopting the practice by 1933.
Birth and marriage certificates are a form of securities called "warehouse
receipts." The items included on a warehouse receipt, as described at §7-202
of the Uniform Commercial Code, the law which governs commercial paper
and transactions, which parallel a birth or marriage certificate are:
-the location of the warehouse where the goods are stored...(residence)
-the date of issue of the receipt.....("Date issued")
-the consecutive number of the receipt...(found on back or front of the
certificate, usually in red numbers)
-a description of the goods or of the packages containing them...(name, sex,
date of birth, etc.)
-the signature of the warehouseman, which may be made by his authorized
agent...(municipal clerk or state registrar's signature)
Birth/marriage certificates now appear to at least qualify as "warehouse receipts"
under the Uniform Commercial Code. Black's Law Dictionary, 7th ed. defines:
warehouse receipt. "...A warehouse receipt, which is considered a document of
title, may be a negotiable instrument and is often used for financing with
inventory as security."
Since the U.S. went bankrupt in 1933, all new money has to be borrowed into
existence. All states started issuing serial-numbered, certificated "warehouse
receipts" for births and marriages in order to pledge us as collateral against
those loans and municipal bonds taken out with the Federal Reserve's
banks. The "Full faith and Credit" of the American people is said to be that
which backs the nation's debt. That simply means the American people's
ability to labor and pay back that debt. In order to catalog its laborers, the
government needed an efficient, methodical system of tracking its property to
that end. Humans today are looked upon merely as resources - "human
resources," that is.
Governmental assignment of a dollar value to the heads of citizens began on
July 14, 1862 when President Lincoln offered 6 percent interest bearing-bonds
to states who freed their slaves on a "per head" basis. This practice of
valuating humans (cattle?) continues today with our current system of debtbased currency reliant upon a steady stream of fresh new chattels to back it.
Additional Birth Certificate Research
Federal Children
by Joyce Rosenwald
In 1921, the federal Sheppard-Towner Maternity Act created the birth
"registration" or what we now know as the "birth certificate." It was known as
the "Maternity Act" and was sold to the American people as a law that would
reduce maternal and infant mortality, protect the health of mothers and
infants, and for "other purposes." One of those other purposes provided for the
establishment of a federal bureau designed to cooperate with state agencies
in the overseeing of its operations and expenditures. What it really did was
create a federal birth registry which exists today, creating "federal children."
This government, under the doctrine of "Parens Patriae," now legislates for
American children as if they are owned by the federal government. Through
the public school enrollment process and continuing license requirements for
most aspects of daily life, these children grow up to be adults indoctrinated into
the process of asking for "permission" from Daddy government to do all those
things necessary to carry out daily activities that exist in what is called a "free
country."
Before 1921 the records of births and names of children were entered into
family bibles, as were the records of marriages and deaths. These records
were readily accepted by both the family and the law as "official" records.
Since 1921 the American people have been registering the births and names
of their children with the government of the state in which they are born, even
though there is no federal law requiring it. The state tells you that registering
your child's birth through the birth certificate serves as proof that he/she was
born in the united States , thereby making him/her a United States Citizen. For
the past several years a social security number has been mandated by the
federal government to be issued at birth.
In 1933, bankruptcy was declared by President Roosevelt. The governors of
the then 48 States pledged the "full faith and credit" of their states, including the
citizenry, as collateral for loans of credit from the Federal Reserve system. To
wit: "Full faith and credit" clause of Const. U.S. article 4. sec. 1, requires that
foreign judgment be given such faith and credit as it had by law or usage of state
of it's origin. That foreign statutes are to have force and effect to which they are
entitled in home state. And that a judgment or record shall have the same faith,
credit, conclusive effect, and obligatory force in other states as it has by law or
usage in the state from whence taken.
Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Ed. cites omitted.
The state claims an interest in every child within it's jurisdiction. The state will, if it
deems it necessary, nullify your parental rights and appoint a guardian (trustee)
over your children. The subject of every birth certificate is a child. The child is a
valuable asset, which if properly trained, can contribute valuable assets provided
by its labor for many years. It is presumed by those who have researched this
issue, that the child itself is the asset of the trust established by the birth
certificate, and the social security number is the numbering or registration of the
trust, allowing for the assets of the trust to be tracked. If this information is true,
your child is now owned by the state. Each one of us, including our children, are
considered assets of the bankrupt united states. We are now designated by this
government as "human resources," with a new crop born every year."
In 1923, a suit was brought against federal officials charged with the
administration of the maternity act, who were citizens of another state, to enjoin
them from enforcing it, wherein the plaintiff averred that the act was
unconstitutional, and that it's purpose was to induce the States to yield
sovereign rights reserved by them through the federal Constitution's 10th
amendment and not granted to the federal government, and that the burden of
the appropriations falls unequally upon the several States, held, that, as the
statute does not require the plaintiff to do or yield anything, and as no burden is
imposed by it other than that of taxation, which falls, not on the State but on her
inhabitants, who are within the federal as well as the state taxing power, the
complaint resolves down to the naked contention that Congress has usurped
reserved powers of the States by the mere enactment of the statute, though
nothing has been, or is to be, done under it without their consent
(Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, et al.;
Frothingham v. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury et.al..) Mr. Alexander Lincoln,
Assistant Attorney General, argued for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts . To
wit:
I. The act is unconstitutional. It purports to vest in agencies of the Federal
Government powers which are almost wholly undefined, in matters relating to
maternity and infancy, and to authorize appropriations of federal funds for the
purposes of the act.
Many examples may be given and were stated in the debates on the bill in
Congress of regulations which may be imposed under the act. the forced
registration of pregnancy, governmental prenatal examination of expectant
mothers, restrictions on the right of a woman to secure the services of a
midwife or physician of her own selection, are measures to which the people
of those States which accept its provisions may be subjected. There is nothing
which prohibits the payment of subsidies out of federal appropriations. insurance
of mothers may be made compulsory. the teaching of birth control and
physical inspection of persons about to marry may be required.
By section 4 of the act, the Children's Bureau is given all necessary powers to
cooperate with the state agencies in the administration of the act. Hence it is
given the power to assist in the enforcement of the plans submitted to it, and for
that purpose by its agents to go into the several States and to do those acts for
which the plans submitted may provide. As to what those plans shall provide, the
final arbiters are the Bureau and the Board. the fact that it was considered
necessary in explicit terms to preserve from invasion by federal officials
the right of the parent to the custody and care of his child and the sanctity
of his home shows how far reaching are the powers which were intended to
be granted by the act.
(1) The act is invalid because it assumes powers not granted to Congress
and usurps the local police power. McCulloch v. Maryland , 4 Wheat. 316, 405;
United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542, 549-551.
In more recent cases, however, the Court has shown that there are limits to the
power of Congress to pass legislation purporting to be based on one of the
powers expressly granted to Congress which in fact usurps the reserved
powers of the States, and that laws showing on their face detailed regulation of
a matter wholly within the police power of the States will be held to be
unconstitutional although they purport to be passed in the exercise of some
constitutional power. Hammer v. Dagenhart, 247 U.S. 251; Child Labor Tax
Case, 259 U.S. 20; Hill v. Wallace, 259 U.S. 44.
The act is not made valid by the circumstance that federal powers are to be
exercised only with respect to those States which accept the act, for Congress
cannot assume, and state legislatures cannot yield, the powers reserved to
the States by the Constitution. Message of President Monroe, May 4, 1822 ; 4
Elliot's Debates, p. 525; Pollard's Lessee v. Hagan, 3 How. 212; Escanaba Co. v.
Chicago , 107 U.S. 678; Coyle v. Oklahoma , 221 U.S. 559; Cincinnati v.
Louisville & Nashville R.R. Co., 223 U.S. 390.
(2) The act is invalid because it imposes on each State an illegal option
either to yield a part of its powers reserved by the Tenth Amendment or to give
up its share of appropriations under the act. A statute attempting, by imposing
conditions upon a general privilege, to exact a waiver of a constitutional right, is
null and void. Harrison v. St. Louis & San Francisco R.R. Co., 232 U.S. 318;
Terral v. Burke Construction Co., 257 U.S. 529.
(3) The act is invalid because it sets up a system of government by
cooperation between the Federal Government and certain of the States, not
provided by the Constitution. Congress cannot make laws for the States,
and it cannot delegate to the States the power to make laws for the United States
. In re Rahrer, 140 U.S. 545; Knickerbocker Ice Co. v. Stewart, 253 U.S. 149;
Opinion of the Justices, 239 Mass. 606.
The Maternity Act was eventually repealed, but parts of it have been found in
other legislative acts. What this act attempted to do was set up government by
appointment, run by bureaucrats with re-delegated authority to tax, which is in
itself unconstitutional. What was once declared as unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court of this nation in the past should be upheld in a court challenge
today. The constitution hasn't changed. What has changed is the way this
government views human life. Today we are defined as human resources,
believed to be owned by government. The government now wants us, as
individuals, to be tagged and tracked. Government mandated or legislated
National I.D. is unconstitutional anyway you look at it. Federal jurisdiction to
legislate for the several states does not exist and could never survive a court
challenge as shown above. Writing letters to elected public servants won't save
us when we all know their agenda does not include serving those who placed
them in power. Perhaps the 10th amendment of the federal constitution
guaranteeing states rights will, if challenged, when making it known that we as
individuals of the several states will not be treated as chattel of the U.S.
government. If the federal government believes they own us, and as such have
the right to demand national I.D. cards, and health I.D. cards, which will in truth
tag us as we tag our animals, then let them bring forth the documents to prove
their authority to legislate for it. If our G-D given rights to liberty and freedom,
which were the foundation upon which this nation was created do not exist, and
liberty and freedom is only an illusion under which the American people suffer,
then let the governments of this nation come forward and tell the people. But...if
we are indeed free, then we should not have to plead or beg before our elected
public servants to be treated as such. If, in truth we are not free, then perhaps it's
time to let the final chapter of the Great American Revolution be written..........

The purpose of the Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 -- sometimes called the
Maternity Act -- was "to reduce maternal and infant mortality." The legislation was
supported by progressives, social reformers, and feminists including Grace
Abbott and Julia Lathrop.
At the time the legislation was introduced, childbirth remained the second
leading cause of death for women. About 20% of children in the United States
died in their first year and about 33% in their first five years. Family income
was an important factor in these mortality rates, and the Sheppard-Towner Act
was designed to encourage states to develop programs to serve women at lower
income levels.
The Sheppard-Towner Act provided for federal matching funds for such
programs as:




health clinics for women and children, hiring physicians and nurses to
educate and care for pregnant women and mothers and their children
visiting nurses to educate and care for pregnant and new mothers
midwife training
distribution of nutrition and hygiene information
Support and Opposition
Julia Lathrop of the U.S. Children's Bureau drafted the language of the act,
and Jeannette Rankin introduced it into Congress in 1919. Rankin was no longer
in the Congress when the Sheppard-Towner Act passed in 1921. Two similar
Senate bills were introduced by Morris Sheppard and Horace Mann Towner.
President Warren G. Harding supported the Sheppard-Towner Act, as did many
in the progressive movement.
Groups including the American Medical Association (AMA) and its Section on
Pediatrics labeled the program "socialistic" and opposed its passage and
opposed its funding in subsequent years.
End of the Sheppard-Towner Act
By 1929, the political climate had changed sufficiently that the funding for the
Sheppard-Towner Act was ended, with pressure from opposition groups likely the
major reason for the de-funding.
Significance of the Sheppard-Towner Act
The Sheppard-Towner Act, which was unsuccessfully challenged in the Supreme
Court in Frothingham V. Mellon And Massachusetts V. Mellon (1923), was
significant in American legal history because it was the first federally-funded
social welfare program, and because the challenge to the Supreme Court failed.
The Sheppard-Towner Act is significant in women's history because it addressed
the needs of women and children directly at a federal level.
It is also significant for the role of women activists including Jeannette Rankin,
Julia Lathrop, and Grace Abbott, who considered it part of the women's rights
agenda beyond winning the vote for women. The League of Women Voters and
the General Federation of Women's Clubs worked for its passage. It shows one
of the ways that the women's rights movement continued to work after the right of
suffrage was won in 1920.
The significance of the Sheppard-Towner Act in progressive and public health
history is in demonstrating that education and preventive care provided through
state and local agencies could have a significant effect on maternal and child
mortality rates.
--Children and the Law
LEGAL AID SOCIETY OFFICES, C.1910
Chicago was to Progressive-era children's rights advocates what Boston was to
antebellum abolitionists. While neither effort originated in either city, both served as
incubators for movement leadership. Influential individuals from Chicago helped to
redefine childhood and encouraged the passage of new laws regulating children's
health, labor, education, and dependency.
Chicago's meteoric growth from frontier settlement to modern city paralleled a
growing awareness of the transformed function of childhood and family life in a more
urban and industrialized America. In Some Ethical Gains through Legislation (1905),
Florence Kelley asserted “a right to childhood” that was being threatened by such
change. Kelley and other child welfare advocates were primarily linked through Jane
Addams's and Ellen Gates Starr's Hull House (1889), located on Chicago's Halsted
Street.
Chicago's influence in the growing national child welfare movement is clear. On
March 31, 1905, Chicagoans Jane Addams and Mary McDowell joined Lillian D.
Wald, founder of New York's Henry Street Settlement, and Edward T. Devine, editor
of the journal Charities, for a meeting at the White House with President Theodore
Roosevelt. The group urged Roosevelt to establish a federal bureau to investigate
and report on the nation's youngest citizens. It took seven more years of lobbying,
but President William Howard Taft signed the U.S. Children's Bureau into law on
April 9, 1912, and named as the agency's first chief another Hull House resident,
Julia C. Lathrop. With this appointment, Lathrop became the first woman to head a
federal agency. Many of her staff were trained at the Chicago School of Civics and
Philanthropy, thereby creating a legacy linking Chicago and national child welfare
reform.
Although the U.S. Children's Bureau had no legal authority, it acted as the
major lobby for children at the national, state, and local levels. Lathrop quickly
implemented tactics that she learned while in Chicago. Infants and young children
were dying at alarming rates. Hull House workers had conducted surveys in an effort
to identify the reasons why so many children died of what seemed to be preventable
causes. Beginning in 1915, Lathrop instituted a plan encouraging states to require
birth registration programs. The issuing of birth certificates led to greater use of
physicians and visiting nurses at births, rather than uncertified midwives. The effort
also furthered the establishment of clean milk distribution centers and child health
clinics for the poor. By 1920 the Children's Bureau had a staff of 196, nearly half of
which (86) were stationed in Chicago.
The U.S. Children's Bureau's biggest success was passage of the 1921 SheppardTowner Maternity and Infancy Act, which provided federal funds matched by states
for programs designed to reduce the nation's high infant mortality rate. Limited to
education and diagnosis, Sheppard-Towner funds could not be used for direct
medical care. Still, beginning in March 1922, Sheppard-Towner funds paid the
salaries of visiting nurses and provided funds to implement educational programs
and free diagnostic clinics for young children and pregnant women. But opponents,
initially led by the Illinois Medical Association, labeled Sheppard-Towner socialized
medicine, and Congress allowed funding for the program to expire in 1929.
Ironically, since the idea came from Illinois' Julia Lathrop, Illinois was one of the
three states—Connecticut and Massachusetts were the others—that refused to pass
matching funding for Sheppard-Towner. Nonetheless, in Illinois, the focusing of
public attention on children's health helped increase public spending and reduce the
state's infant mortality rate by 50 percent between 1920 and 1930.
Child labor was another controversial legal reform connected to birth registration.
American children had always labored. But by the mid-nineteenth century some
reformers argued that working in the nation's mines, streets, and factories harmed
children's health and produced unproductive adults. Massachusetts and Connecticut
passed the nation's first child labor regulations in 1842, limiting the workday to 10
hours for children under 12 and 14 years of age, respectively. Illinois followed,
making it illegal by 1900 for children under 14 to work for wages. Over the next two
decades the successful implementation of a birth certificate program and a growing
labor movement in Illinois and Chicago focused enforcement on child labor
regulations. When Congress passed the nation's first federal child labor law in 1916
(the Keating-Owen Act), another Chicago Hull House resident, Grace Abbott, came
to Washington to enforce the legislation. But Abbott returned to Chicago when the
U.S. Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional in 1918 (Hammer v.
Dagenhart, 247 U.S. 251). Abbott returned to Washington in 1921 as the second
U.S. Children's Bureau chief, a position she held until July 1, 1934.
Child labor regulation and compulsory school attendance laws also went hand in
hand. The first public schools opened in Chicago in the 1830s. After the Civil War, a
parallel system of largely Catholic parochial schools arose to accommodate the
desires of many immigrant parents. By the 1880s Illinois passed compulsory school
attendance laws for children up to age 14. Birth certificates enabled enforcement,
and Chicago's schools became a symbol of opportunity for immigrant families and
southern African Americans migrating north. Problems of racial discrimination
endured, and white flight to the suburbs has hampered the effectiveness of courtordered school desegregation since the end of World War II. But compulsory school
attendance requirements have remained an important factor, with the Chicago Public
Schools in the late 1990s instituting required summer attendance for children with
egregiously subpar test scores.
Chicago and Illinois were also pioneers in the area of child dependency legislation.
In 1911 Illinois and Missouri became the first states to enact mothers' pension laws.
Advocates argued that children deprived of a male breadwinner should not also be
deprived of a “normal home life.” Mothers' pensions offered cash payments so that
children could remain in their own homes in the case of a father's death, desertion,
or imprisonment. Lathrop and Abbott promoted the idea at the national level. By
1921, 40 states had programs similar to Illinois', and by 1931 only Georgia and
South Carolina had no mothers' pension programs. In 1935, state mothers' pensions
were replaced by the Social Security Act's Aid to Dependent Children program (later,
Aid to Families with Dependent Children). Grace Abbott helped write this seminal
legislation.
Children from families who became totally dependent upon the state for their care
were also a part of Chicago's early efforts. After a 30-year campaign, in 1899
Chicago reformers established the nation's first state-sanctioned juvenile court.
Reformers argued that children who appeared before the courts were “handicapped
by immaturity of body and mind [and] by a lack of effective parental control.” Some
were dependent due to the death of parents, others because of physical or mental
disabilities, illegitimacy, or socially unacceptable behavior. Like the mothers' pension
movement, juvenile courts quickly spread throughout the United States. But the
application of juvenile court laws was inconsistent. Even in Chicago, juvenile court
authority has led to a complex bureaucracy. Reform schools, institutions, and
foster care became the primary course of “treatment,” and efforts focused on
individual children rather than the entire family as originally envisioned.
The very definition of childhood has been at the heart of legal reforms for
children. Fourteen was generally accepted as the limit of childhood during the
nineteenth century. By 1925 Illinois child welfare advocates had successfully
extended the definition to 16 for juvenile court jurisdiction, many child labor laws,
and minimum age at marriage laws. From 1925 through the 1970s, the legal age
of childhood was generally raised to 18. But since 1980 there has been a
growing ambivalence about children's legal dependency. Debates over
appropriate punishment for juvenile violent offenders and the 1996 Welfare
Reform Act's five-year limitations show that the redefinition of the legal status of
children continues.

The Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Protection Act, signed by President
Warren G. Harding on November 23, 1921, was the first federal social welfare
program created explicitly for women and children. It was a bridge between pre–
World War I Progressive reform, especially that which organized women's groups
championed, and postwar welfare ideas, as expressed by the "welfare
capitalism" of the 1920s, and in later social programs, such as the New Deal. It
was also the first major political dividend of the recent success of the woman
suffrage movement. Women's organizations protected it as long as they could.
The U.S. CHILDREN'S BUREAU, founded in 1912, conducted major studies that
showed that the United States had very high rates of infant and maternal
mortality. In 1918 the United States was eleventh in INFANT MORTALITY, and
seventeenth in maternal deaths, among industrialized nations. Eighty percent of
all pregnant women received no prenatal advice or trained care. Bureau
researchers also discovered that poverty and death were closely related. Bureau
chief Julia Lathrop championed maternal and infant protection, and, in altered
form, Democratic Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas and Republican
Congressman Horace Towner of Iowa reintroduced her bill in the sixty-sixth
Congress. In the 1920 elections, with full suffrage for women, the National
League of Women Voters pressured the Democratic, Socialist, Prohibition, and
Farmer-Labor parties to endorse the measure in their platforms; only the
Republican Party's platform ignored it, although its presidential candidate,
Warren G. Harding, endorsed the bill. It passed the U.S. Senate by a 63–7
margin in July, and the House, after considerable GOP foot dragging and
scattered cries of a Communist conspiracy, by a 279–39 margin. Major
opponents were the American Medical Association, such antisuffragist
organizations as the Woman Patriots, and politicos in either major party resentful
of woman suffrage and of feminism.
In a decade in which the United States Bureau of Public Roads spent two billion
dollars a year on highways, the Sheppard-Towner Act hardly seemed
extravagant. It authorized $1,480,000 for fiscal 1921–1922 and $1,240,000 for
the next five years, ending June 30, 1927. Of these sums, $5000 went to each
state without exception, and double that amount went to states offering matching
funds. The Children's Bureau distributed the remainder according to population.
Administrative expenses were limited. Participating states enacted enabling
legislation and implementation plans. The law provided for maternal and infant
hygienic information through nurses, centers, conferences, and mass pamphlets.
Forty-one states joined in 1922. Only three never did. In 1929 Congressional
opponents torpedoed the bill, and President Hoover let it lapse with wan
endorsements.
Between 1922 and 1929, the Children's Bureau conducted 183,252 conferences,
established 2,978 prenatal care units, visiting nurses made 3,131,996 home
visits, and 22,020,489 pamphlets had been passed out. America's infant and
maternal death rates fell by 16 percent and 12 percent, respectively, but these
were still twice what New Zealand and Great Britain experienced in the same
years.
--It has to do with Maritime Admiralty Law. Maritime admiralty is banking law & it
says that because you were born from your mother's water you are an admiralty
product. This is why ships sit in births and they are tied to the dock and the
captain has to give a certificate of manifest to the port authority. This is why when
you were born you have to have a birth certificate. It's got to be signed by the
"doc" (doctor) cause that's where the ship is tied to, the dock. Why does the
doctor sign your birth certificate? Because you came down your mother's water
canal ergo you are a maritime admiralty product and that's the Law! Your birth
certificate is signed by your mother and next time look at it and you will see that it
does not say parent or mother, it says, "informant". Your mother was informing
the banks that she has just produced another PRODUCT to be bought and sold.
So, with your name in all capital letters, you are recognized not as a natural
person, but as a corporation, or product. Welcome to America!
--"Signature Without Liability Primer" [PDF] by Michael H. Keehn...
In short, a government issued birth certificate is issued with consent of one
parent at the time of birth. The birth certificate is sent to a government agency,
generally the Bureau of Vital Statistics. Here, another ‘birth certificate’ is issued,
this one spelling the name of the baby in all capital letters, creating a fictional
entity (strawman or trade name). If the name on the birth certificate were to
represent the baby as a natural individual, it would be spelled with the
appropriate upper and lower case lettering. For example, John Quincy Adams,
not JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. The all capitals spelling of the name creates a
corporate fiction (a strawman, a trade name), which the government can regulate
and control.
With the issuance of a birth certificate on this fictional character, this strawman or
trade name is placed into international commerce. The government issues a
bond on the birth certificate in the amount of $630,000 (today’s value), and the
bond is sold on a securities exchange. It is always purchased by the same
corporation, the Federal Reserve Bank. Through some trickery and deception,
the baby becomes the surety which guarantees the payback of the bond. The
trick is to get the baby to volunteer to pay... all of his (or her) life. And that is
what the following essay is about... how to avoid becoming liable for a fictional
strawman or trade name that was a creation of government for the purpose
defrauding the individual (the baby).
To be more specific, a second "negotiable instrument" is drawn on the value of
the first that is held by the state, which is then bought and so "accepted for value"
and then held by the Depository Trust Corporation. (Also see "Who Is Running
America?".)
Negotiable Instruments include 'Promissory Notes', 'Bills of Exchange', 'Letters of
credit', 'Bills of lading', 'Securities' (such as stocks and bonds) as in the "security
of the person", 'Deeds' and 'IOUs'.

A little more detailed information...
When a child is born, the hospital generally sends the original, not a copy, of this record
of live birth to the State Bureau of Vital Statistics, sometimes called the Department of
Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS). Each STATE is required to supply the
corporate UNITED STATES with birth, death, and health statistics. The STATE agency
that receives the original record of live birth keeps it and then issues another Birth
Certificate in a different form where the name of the baby is spelled in ALL CAPITAL
LETTERS. This creates a ‘legal person’ as opposed to a natural individual.
The Birth Certificate issued by the State is then registered with the U.S. Department of
Commerce - - the Executive Office - specifically through their own sub-agency, the U.S.
Census Bureau, which is responsible to register vital statistics from all the states. Thus,
the birth certificate is registered in international commerce. The word registered, as it
is used in commercial law, does not mean that the ALL CAPITAL version of the name
was "merely" noted or recorded in a book for future reference purposes. When a birth
certificate is registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Treasury will issue
a bond on the value of the birth certification. That bond is then made available for
purchase on a securities exchange and is bought by the Federal Reserve Bank. This
purchase then become the authority or collateral to issue Federal Reserve Notes, which
we use as a medium of exchange.
The value of the bond in today’s world is $630,000. The bond is then held in trust for the
Federal Reserve at the Depository Trust Corporation at 55 Water Street in New York
City, about two blocks down the street from the Federal Reserve. It is a high-rise office
building and the sign in front reads: “The Tower of Power.”
This process creates a burden in that the ALL-CAPITAL legal person named on the
birth certificate has become a surety, or guarantor, a condition and obligation that is
automatically and unwittingly assumed unless you rebut the presumption by effectively
noticing government.
“Guarantor. Person who becomes secondarily liable for another’s debt or
performance... One who promises to answer for the debt, default or
miscarriage of another.” - Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition
From this it is easy to conclude that the baby is to assume the liability for any burden
created or associated with the strawman or trade name listed on the birth certificate.

Birth Certificate Truth
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is one of a number of uniform acts that
have been promulgated in conjunction with efforts to harmonize the law of sales
and other commercial transactions in all 50 states within the United States of
America. The Uniform Commercial Code is looked upon as the bible in the world
of business. Under Caeser of Rome, it was established that all nations in the
empire that do any form of business, should all play on a level field, but what is
not told is that the UCC is based directly on Vatican Canon Law, of the Roman
Canon Law, which means, its regulations are under the Roman Catholic Church.
Now, you maybe wondering what this has to do with birth certificates, so let's
break down the origin of birth certificates.
Question: What is a berth? To come into or dock at a wharf such as when a ship
comes into a dock, it arrives. So consequently, when a ship pulls into a port, it
pulls in and stops, that is called its berth, because the ship has now arrived. So
because it is on the laws of the high seas, it is governed by the UCC Commercial
Law. So when the ship pulls in to it's berth, the first thing the captain must do is to
present a certificate of manifest to the port authorities. What is a certificate of
manifest? It is a document listing a ship’s contents, cargo, crew, and passengers.
So whatever the ship brings in at berth, the captain has to present a certificate of
manifest showing the identity and value of the items on the ship. Now
consequently, when people are born, they come out of their mother's water,
therefore they must have a birth certificate, which is a certificate of manifest,
because the people are considered a corporation owned item, they are a human
resource. This goes back to the German Nazi concept, that every human coming
out of their mother's water must be birthed, and therefore the people have to
have a certificate of manifest, to see who this individual is and how much they
are going to make for the government in their New World Order.
So, since the U.S. went bankrupt in 1933, all new money has to be borrowed
into existence. All states started issuing serial-numbered, certificated
"warehouse receipts" for births and marriages in order to pledge the people as
collateral against those loans and municipal bonds taken out with the Federal
Reserve's banks. The "Full faith and credit" of the American people is said to be
that which back the nation's debt. That simply means the American people's
ability to labor and pay back that debt. In order to catalog its laborers, the
government needed an efficient, methodical system of tracking its property to
that end. Humans today are looked upon merely as resources - "human
resources," that is. Why do you think when you call to see if a company is hiring,
you have to go through a division known as Human Resource? The people are
resources to the government, their birth certificates are a security on the New
York Stock Exchange, which is why if you look at all birth certificate's in America,
it will say at the bottom this is printed on security paper, do not accept if not on
full color security paper. At the bottom, you will always have a series of numbers,
red numbers printed on the birth certificate, in which those numbers are a
security stock exchange number on the World Stock Exchange, in which the
American people are worth money to the International Bank that bought the
government in the 1930's.
Governmental assignment of a dollar value to the heads of citizens in America
began on July 14, 1862, when President Lincoln offered 6 percent interest
bearing-bonds to states who freed their slaves on a "per head" basis. See the
government knows that they can only extract so much money out of the
economy, so their idea is to bankrupt private owners so that the banks who are
behind this syndicate become the owners of all the assets in this country. That's
the real scheme; that's the real motive. By encouraging Congress to spend
money it doesn't have, Congress has to turn around and "lien" on American labor
and American private property for collateral. See they do that by fraudulent
conversion of birth certificates, for example. Doctors, who are franchisees of the
state, are obliged to sign birth certificates and forward them on to the Secretary
of State in Sacramento. They make certified copies and forward those birth
certificates to the Department of Commerce in Washington, D.C. The
Department of Commerce does the same thing: they make certified copies and
forward them on to the International Monetary Fund in Brussels, Belgium.
Now this is the center of the hub of the banking syndicate and they are, of
course, loaning these huge sums to various governments around the world,
including the Congress of the United States. The Congress needs something for
collateral, and what they use for collateral are these birth certificates. They get
treated as certificates in equity which mature on the 18th birthday of the person
whose name appears on the birth certificate. The bank then keeps track of these
and uses the number that any particular nation has available, as collateral on the
international debt, as "performance units" on the international debt. These
certificates in equity end up being regarded as "performance units" on the
international debt. The more of those you have, the more money you can borrow.
It's like this: the more collateral I have, the more money I can borrow from banks
and the more I can secure. So, governments are securing their international debt
by "liening" on the persons and property of their citizens. They're doing this on a
massive scale, and it's technically a fraudulent conversion of the birth certificate
because, if they did that with your birth certificate, they never told you they were
doing it. They never told you they were obtaining a lien on your person and
starting a third-party debt that you're responsible for. You had no meaningful
choice in the matter, which makes it an "unconscionable contract" by definition.
Think of it very simply, as walking into a department store and saying to the
salesman, "I really like that refrigerator over there, I want to buy it, ship it to my
home tomorrow, and send the bill to, say, Willy Brown." So the next day, the
refrigerator ends up in your garage, and the bill ends up in Willy Brown's mail.
Willy Brown opens his mail and says, "What's this, Sears? One refrigerator,
$800? What is this? I didn't buy this. I'm not a party to this transaction. I didn't
even know about it. Why are they billing me? There must be a mistake here."
Well, this is kind of like what is happening now. In this example, the department
store is the Federal Reserve. They're supplying Federal Reserve Notes, right?
Willy Brown is the American people, and I -- the one who went in there and
bought the refrigerator in the first place -- I represent Congress. And I'm saying,
"Don't send the bill to me, send it to the American people. And you can lien on
their property, by the way. You can use our police, we'll enforce it for you; we'll
extract the money." So that's the fraud the government and Obama is keeping
from
the
American
people.
The fraud is that Congress bankrupted the U.S. Treasury and turned all
their gold over to the Federal Reserve banks, which are not federal
government agencies.
The Federal Reserve is a "municipal corporation" created by an act of Congress,
but it's still a corporation. And all that gold is now in their hands. But there wasn't
enough to discharge the debt that had accumulated up to 1933. They had to go
into bankruptcy to discharge the rest of the debt. They're using standard federal
bankruptcy rules for this, but the creditors, of course, are in charge. And they're
back there telling Congress, "Go ahead, continue spending more money that you
don't have, because we know we'll take it out of the land and the labor of the
American people, ultimately." And that's what's going on. Look at the current
economic situation, the government is using Obama to push this idea concept of
stimulus checks as a way for slowing down inflation, creating jobs, and giving the
American people more money to spend. Now to the average puppet, this doesn't
seem like a bad idea, but what the government doesn't tell the people is that, in
the process of them giving these stimulus checks for the American people to
spend more money, it will only devalue the American Dollar, and the banks will
close up, because how can you spend more in a recession to boost the
economy? Therefore by the banks closing up, it will force the American people
into a one way electronic spending money system, that will be monitored and
administered by the government, forcing the people into compliance with their
New World Order.
Today we are defined as human resources, believed to be owned by the
government. The government now wants us, as individuals, to be tagged and
tracked. Government mandated or legislated National I.D. is unconstitutional
anyway you look at it. Federal jurisdiction to legislate for the several states does
not exist. They have no legislation for ordering you to have a identification card,
health card, and so forth, but they know the people are ignorant to the Law, so
therefore by ignorance of the people, the government is allowed to freely at will
keep coming up with forms of taxation against the American people. Birth
Certificates proves that you are national property of the International Banks. The
birth certificate thus becomes a form of theft, the theft of the child’s true identity
as a free child of God to a servant of the State. By affixing a national seal of
approval to a child, the state denies the freedom, rights, and dignity that God has
ordained in the scriptures. You don't need proof that you were born, you
breathing is proof enough for these hypocrites. By requiring a license, the state is
claiming complete control and ownership over your liberty, and property. Christ's
assembly does not exist on paper, but in the hearts of men, and is expressed in
their outward acts. Because there is no breath of Life from God in such pieces of
paper, we should not look to them for any authority for doing anything. Christ is
our authority for doing the things we do.
Now ask yourself, have you ever, in your entire life, "signed" your name in ALL
CAPITAL LETTERS? Of course not! Haven’t you always used both upper and
lower case letters to sign your name? Yes. And why is that? Because that is what
you have been taught since a child. Because the standard Rule of Law governing
the use of English Grammar states that the correct Capitalization of Proper
Names must begin with a capital letter, and the rest of the name must be spelled
in smaller case letters. At Law, this lets others know you are an entity created by
God, and not an entity created by man. Now, there are entities created by man,
Corporations for example. Corporations are known as "persons" created by the
government. They are created on a piece of paper and brought into existence by
the government. To differentiate between those created by God and those
created by the government, those created by the government have their names
spelled in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. This lets others know that this entity does
not have a body, soul, and spirit like man has, but that this is a fictitious entity
created for the purpose of making a profit.
Now, if you look at a license, or ID Card or Birth Certificate, you will notice the
name that appears on it is spelled in all capital letters! What this means, at law, is
that the entity that is named on this license is a creature of the government, and
not a creature of God. It means that entity is a servant of Caesar, and not a
servant of God. Send your birth certificate back to the government or your state,
and follow the path of freedom which is in the Most High. Shalom!

The Strawman Redemption
Meet your straw man as a child, you have had a imaginary friend. You may
be surprised to learn that evidence exists that you have had a make believe twin
from the time your mother and father permitted a birth certificate to be filed on
you.
This make-believe is not real, but artificial. It is a straw man, an artificial entity
that has a name very similar to yours. here is a definition of strawman "A front ; a
third party who is put up in name only to take part in a transaction. Nominal party
to a transaction..........[ Blacks Law Dictionary,6th Edition] "The term is also used
in commercial and property contexts when a transfer is made to a party, the
straw man, simply for the purpose of retransferring to the transferor in order to
accomplish some purpose not otherwise permitted. "[ Barron's 3rd Edition] So in
layman's terms, what is a strawman?
The straw man is a artificial person. The strawman was created by law shortly
after you were born via the registration for your birth certificate. The name for the
straw man iS your name in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. You will notice that the
inscription on the birth certificate is your name in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. The
English language has precise rules of grammar that make no provision for writing
proper nouns in all-capital letters. So your name spelled in all capital letters is a
fictitious name. Your strawman has a same-sounding name as your name, but is
a artificial entity which exists only "by force of or in contemplation of law."
The all caps name is not your "true name" which consists of the given (Christian)
name plus the surname (family name). and appears with only initial letters
capitalized. The all caps version of your name is a TRADE NAME, the name
under which you do business. We may also say that the straw man is a person
according to the legal dictionary. person. 1. a human being. 2. an entity ( such
as a corporation) that is recognized by law as having rights and duties of a
human being ......."Blacks Law Dictionary, 7th Edition] The strawman may also
said to be an "artificial person" which is also defined in the legal dictionary. "an
entity, such as a corporation, created by law and given certain legal rights
and duties of a human being; a being, real or imaginary, who for the
purpose of legal reasoning is treated more or less as an human being.---also termed fictitious person: juristic person; legal person; moral person.
