Exactly!!  Feast your squinties on this:

"In 1933 the American People, being sovereigns in this country, voted
Franklin D.  Roosevelt into the position as their spokesman and
president.  In order to accomplish the task desired of him, Mr.
Roosevelt had to spend more money than the sovereign citizens were
willing to pay in taxes.  This made it necessary for the people's
representative to borrow bank credit from the International Banking
Houses.  It was written into that loan contract that the loans of bank
credit, in addition to the interest (usury) upon them were to be
repaid in gold coin.  By the year 1938 the International Banking
Houses had extended their credit to the United States in excess of the
gold coin, available for repayment of same, thus the former sovereign
citizens of the Nation, through Mr.  Roosevelt their representative,
could no longer meet their contract obligations to pay their
international debts in gold coin, and they lost their sovereign status
under the Common Law, because of this default on the debt to the
International banking houses, and the Bar Associations accomodated the
situation by blending "law" with "equity" in 1938 in such a way as not
to alarm the American citizens over their newly acquired servile
status.  As every licensed bar attorney knows, the rules of equity are
quite different from the rules of law.  American equity compels
performance upon the letter of a contract obligation, or in the
interest of the creditor in case of financial default, but it allows a
jury trial for controversy above $20.00, and it outlaws debtors
prisons.  However, the equity jurisdiction of International default on
debt is tried in Admiralty Courts, which do not recognize any of the
constitutional protections of American Equity Courts, since they are
international.  A Jury in an Admiralty Court is only advisory to the
Chancellor (called Judge) who may rule contrary to a jury verdict if
he wishes. Also Admiralty Courts impose Criminal penalty on those who
fail to perform.  The legislative bodies in America today, no longer
pass Public "law" statutes, pursuant to the limitations upon such
statutes by National and State Constitutions, but rather our
legislative bodies in America are now the Sovereign, over the Courts
and Executive officers, as well as over all of the so-called citizens,
and their function is to pass Public "policy" statutes in the interest
of the nation's creditors, which civil statutes contain Criminal
penalties under an Admiralty Jurisdiction.  In this particular Public
Policy Statute requiring the fastening of seat belts, the defendant is
charged with a Criminal Action for his failure to perform within a
public policy statute written in the interest of the Nations'
Creditors, who feel they want this man protected from his own careless
behavior because dead men pay no taxes, and the nations' Creditors
need this man's labor to help pay the International debt, which is in
default.  This Court has an Admiralty Jurisdiction over the person of
this defendant in this Criminal Action, because he failed to perform
according to the contract for the repayment of the nation's debt."
