The Universal Declaration of God-given Rights August 7, 2000 Declaration of Intent I. We hold that God's Law is the Supreme Law of the Land, above and beyond any mere constitution or act of man, and that from these Supreme Laws come our God-given Rights. II. We hold that crimes are against God and the victim, not against any form of government. We hold that victims should be compensated, in court where possible, or under court order, in accordance with the scriptures and judgment of a Common Law Jury. We hold that this compensation shall come from the party or parties found guilty as punishment for their crime. We hold that government shall not profit from acts of crime. All references to a Jury in this declaration refer to a Common Law Jury of twelve jurors selected randomly from the men and women citizens of the respective counties or local divisions of government. III. We hold that the people of Earth are free to create new governments in accordance with the precedents set by the following authorities: The Christian Holy Bible; Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and EARTH, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and EARTH, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. Joshua 2:11 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in EARTH beneath. Genesis 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and EARTH, 1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the EARTH is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. Matthew 6:9-13 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Luke 11:2-4 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 1 Kings 9:3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. and The Declaration of Independence (of the American States) in 1776. IV. We hold that the foundation of each nation is that an individual's body, life, labor, ideas, thoughts, and material possessions that the individual has created or acquired without coercion are that individual's property and that no individual, majority, society, or government may legitimately take or control an individual's property without that individual's consent. We hold that the word 'individual' in this Declaration means every man, woman, child, or fetus. V. We hold that the foundation of our economies are and shall be the free market system unfettered by intrusions of government and based upon the free and voluntary exchange of goods and services. VI. We hold that peaceful relations with other nations is based upon the concept of mutual respect and that war and other interference in the affairs of other nations serves only to destroy such peaceful relations. It is therefore declared that each nation shall remain neutral in the affairs of, and between, other nations. VII. The enumeration of Rights herein contained shall not be construed to deny to the people any inherent God-given Rights which they have hitherto enjoyed. Preamble Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and God-given Rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of Freedom, Liberty, Independence, justice and peace in the world, Whereas disregard and contempt for God-given Rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that God-given Rights should be protected by the rule of law, Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations, Whereas the peoples of the Free Independent Nations of Earth have reaffirmed their faith in fundamental God-given Rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the God-given Rights of men, women and children and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom than that recognized by other treaties, Whereas Member Nations of Free Independent Nations of Earth have agreed in compact among themselves to achieve the promotion of universal respect for and observance of God-given Rights and fundamental freedoms, Whereas a common understanding of these Rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this compact, Now, therefore, The General Assembly of Free Independent Nations of Earth, in order to form a lasting peace, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, acknowledging and invoking the guidance of Almighty God, the Author of all good government, do ordain and establish this Universal Declaration of God-given Rights; and Proclaims this Universal Declaration of God-given Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these Rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member Nations themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction. Article 1. Declaration of God-given Rights Section 1. In order that the general, great, and essential principles of God-given Rights associated with Life, Liberty, Property and a true Republic may be recognised and established we declare that this declaration of Rights is a part of our Contract, and shall never be violated under any pretense whatsoever. In order to guard against the transgression of the powers each nation has delegated to government, each nation declares that every Right defined in this Declaration of Rights is reserved to the people. Rights not enumerated, including God-given Rights not yet expressed or conceived, exist to the extent that no Right as such may impose an obligation on any individual except to respect that Right in others. All such non-enumerated Rights are reserved to the people. All powers not specifically delegated to governments are reserved to the people. The specification of these Rights in a certain order is not intended to prioritize the Rights or to indicate a hierarchy of Rights, but is provided for convenience. Section 2. Each individual has the inherent God-given Right to life and of life from physical conception to natural death. Section 3. Each individual has the inherent Right of liberty, which is the unrestrained exercise of free will and the freedom to act without prior permission, which shall never be infringed provided the exercise thereof does not violate the Rights of any other individual. Liberty consists of the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural Rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same Rights. Section 4. Each individual's body, life, labor, ideas, thoughts, and possessions that the individual has Lawfully created or acquired are that individual's property. Each individual has the inherent Right of the ownership, non-coercive acquisition, and use of property. Since property is an inviolable and sacred Right, no one shall be deprived thereof except where public necessity shall clearly demand it, and then only on condition that the owner shall have consented and been compensated under contract entered freely, knowingly, and competently. Section 5. Each individual has the inherent Right of defending the life, liberty, or property of any individual using whatever force is necessary, through whatever means available, including the use of deadly force. Section 6. Each individual has the inherent Right of owning, using, and carrying arms of any description. Section 7. Law must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes. All individuals, when they form this social compact, have equal Rights, and are equally eligible to all dignities and to contract for any public positions or occupations, according to their abilities, and without distinction except that of their virtues and talents. The social compact of marriage or any act which produces a human fetus, through sexual intercourse or otherwise, is recognized to be the Lawful union of a man and a woman into a family unit which becomes one Lawful entity. This Lawful union of a man and a woman into a family unit is a compact that is superior to any mere constitution for the foundation of this natural union is built firmly upon God's Law. As such there can only be one recognized head of this Lawful entity. Unless the woman is declared to be the head of the family unit on the marriage agreement confirmation paper, the man is recognized as the head of the family under the authority of the Common Law. The father gives birth to his child when the mother conceives. In the case of separation or divorce of various members of a natural family, the natural father is the prime physical custodian and guardian of the children unless there is a marriage agreement confirmation paper that declares the mother to be the head of this natural family, in which case the mother becomes the prime physical custodian and guardian of the children. Children born out of wedlock are naturally recognized to have their natural fathers to be their Lawful prime physical custodian and guardian. Lawful prime physical custodians and guardians of children shall honor the natural bonds, ties and relationships that a child should have with both parents and make all attempts to be reasonable and allow the other parent to have access and secondary physical custody of the child for one-half of the time of the child's life as a minor under the age of 18 years of age unless a Common Law Jury has ruled what the restrictions to access and physical custody of the child actually are upon a guilty verdict declared by the same Common Law Jury. A natural parent being denied access and physical custody of a child for one-half of the time of the child's life as a minor under the age of 18 years of age shall having standing to enforce their Rights to their child by trial by Common Law Jury. Section 8. Any individual whatsoever, of any background, religious faith, creed, ethnic or national origin, gender, or age may enter into any Lawful contract provided they do so willingly, knowingly, and competently. When the competency of any party to a contract is questioned by any other party to the contract, or by the guardians, heirs, or assigns of the party in question, a Jury of twelve will decide competency based solely on whether, in the judgement of a simple majority of jurors, the party in question is competent to understand and faithfully execute the terms of the contract as written. Section 9. All political power is inherent in God, the Father, Creator of the Universe, and all true Republics are founded on God's Authority, the Author of all true Law, and instituted for the people's benefit and exist by the will of God and the people to support the will of God; and although each individual has at all times the unalienable Right to alter, reform, or abolish his form of government in any manner they believe proper, at any time, the individual has no authority to attempt to change the true Laws of God, the Creator, hereby referred to as the Common Law of God found in the Christian Holy Scriptures. The standard reference for the Common Law of God for this Declaration shall be found in the King James Version with reference to 'The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible', Copyright 1984 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, ISBN 0-8407-5360-8, for indepth meaning and intent. The interpretation of the meaning and intent of the Common Law of God found in the Scriptures and the degree of application of the Law to the facts of each case is left up to local people at the county or local government level through their powers on the people's Common Law Jury. Section 10. All individuals have a natural and indefeasible Right to worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences; no individual shall be compelled to attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry against his consent; no human authority ought, in any case whatever, to control or interfere with the Rights of conscience in matters of religion; no preference shall ever be given by Law to any religious or philosophical societies or mode of worship, however it is the proper role of government to prevent infiltration by those who are of foreign loyalties due to the fact that they have taken extra-judicial oaths and would they would destroy proper and Lawful government by being subservient and bound to those extra-judicial oaths; it shall be the duty of the Government to protect every religious denomination in the peaceable enjoyment of their own mode of public worship, if any; nothing in this Right and its associated obligations is intended to limit the Right to proselytize, teach one's own faith, or express intolerance of evil. Section 11. The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the Rights of man. Every individual may, accordingly, speak, write, print and communicate by other media with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall actually cause harm, as determined by a Jury, and only to the extent of the harm actually caused. The government shall never curtail or license or limit or regulate or in any manner infringe the liberty of speech or of the press, nor of any form of communication by any medium whatsoever. Section 12. In all suits whatsoever, where the value in controversy shall exceed one troy ounce of silver, the Right of trial by Jury shall be preserved. Section 13. No fact tried by a Jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court except to appeal a conviction. Section 14. No individual shall be accused, arrested, or imprisoned except in the cases and according to the forms prescribed by this Declaration. As all individuals are held to be innocent of all accusations until they shall have been declared guilty by a Common Law Jury of twelve, if arrest shall be deemed indispensable, all harshness not essential to the securing of the prisoner's person shall be severely repressed. No individual shall be held for indictment by a people's grand Jury to answer for any criminal charge without a confirmation of an accusation by an accuser. No individual shall be held for trial without first being held for and receiving an indictment by a people's grand Jury. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the Free Independent Nations of Earth, or any place subject to its jurisdiction. Section 15. In all cases where an accused shall be tried by Jury, the Jury shall have the Right to determine the Law, the facts and the penalty in every particular whatsoever as they pertain to the accused by applying the following applications of Law in the following order: First: There must be a victim who has been caused hardship or damage. Crimes that are solely against God, are left for God to deal with. Second: The Supreme Law of the Land known as the Common Law of God is to be found in the Christian Holy Scriptures and applied to the facts of the case, tempered by the wisdom and observations of the Jury, and Third: This Declaration, being the supreme Law in Earth as evidenced by Treaty under the Supreme Law of the Land known as the Common Law of God, must be adhered to, and Fourth: The terms, conditions and responsibilities of any Lawful contract, properly agreed to by the parties, must be applied. Fifth: All other forms of law that are foreign to the Common Law of God, such as maritime, admiralty, statutory, commercial, or equity and others not named herein, are hereby abolished. Section 16. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused must be afforded a speedy public trial, by an impartial Jury of twelve of his peers in the county or local government level wherein the crime shall have been committed, unless the accused consent to another county or local government level; the accused shall have the Right to demand the nature and cause of the accusation; the accused shall not be compelled to give evidence against himself; the accused shall have the Right of being heard by himself or counsel, or both; shall be confronted with the witnesses against him who may not testify anonymously, and shall have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; shall have access to evidence relating to the accusation and adequate time to prepare a defense; any individual may serve as counsel for any accused individual according to the choice of the accused and the consent of the individual chosen as counsel. Government may not impose qualifications or license requirements on counsel nor otherwise limit the Right to counsel. Section 17. All prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, unless for accusation of criminal acts resulting in the death of any individual, when the proof is evident or the presumption great; this provision shall not be so construed as to prohibit bail after the indictment is found to be returnable on a writ of habeas corpus, as provided in the Declaration below; excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishment unknown to the Common Law of God inflicted; all Government courts shall be open, and every person, for an injury done him in his lands, goods, person, or reputation, shall have remedy by due process of Law; no person, for the same offense, shall be twice put in jeopardy of life, limb, liberty, or property, nor shall a person be again put upon trial for the same offense after a verdict of not guilty; and the Right of trial by Jury shall remain inviolate. No individual shall be deprived of life, liberty, property, or privileges, outlawed, exiled, or in any manner disfranchised by government, except by due course of Law. Section 18. The sure and certain defense of a free people is a well regulated militia; and it shall be the duty of the government to organize the people that volunteer their services into the organized militia. Treason against any nation shall consist only in levying war against it, or adhering to enemy belligerents, giving them aid and support. No soldier shall be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, expressed in written contract for which consideration is paid by the government. The security of the Rights of the Citizens of each nation requires public military forces. These forces are, therefore, established for the good of all and not for the personal advantage of those to whom they shall be intrusted. Section 19. No title of nobility, hereditary privileges or honors, shall ever be granted or conferred by government. Section 20. Each individual has a Right to decide, personally, as to the necessity of any consideration paid; to pay consideration freely upon entering into any contract or upon agreeing to its annual renewal. Citizens of each nation have a Right to know to what uses all monies paid to government are put. Section 21. Each individual has the Right of privacy, to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and possessions from all unreasonable seizures or searches; and no warrant to search any place, or to seize any person or thing, shall issue, without describing them in particular as near as may be, nor without probable cause supported by confirmation in writing; Section 22. The writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended; No bill of attainder, ex post facto Law, retroactive Law, or any Law impairing the obligation of Lawful contracts shall be made. Section 23. No person shall ever be imprisoned for debt. Section 24. The military shall at all times be subordinate to the civil authority. Section 25. Inheritance taxes, perpetuities and monopolies are contrary to the genius of a true Republic, and shall never be established by Government. This provision shall not in any way limit the establishment of perpetuities, monopolies, primogeniture, or entailments by private contract among individuals. Section 26. All individuals have the Right, in a peaceable manner, to assemble together for their common good, and to apply to those invested with the power of government for redress of grievances, or other purposes, by petition, address, or remonstrance. Section 27. All Rights are retained by each individual and shall never be denied, infringed, or violated in any way except, in the circumstances of conviction of a crime, a tort, or a breach of contract, by due process of Law as defined in this Declaration, and then only as directed in the particular case. Section 28. This Declaration can only prohibit such actions that are strictly internal to it. No one may be forced to do anything other than stand trial when accused of a crime or tort by a grand Jury unless provided for by contract, freely, knowingly, and competently entered, for which consideration has been paid.

Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the penal offence was committed. Section 33.
