This section will help you comprehend and know which types of law you wish to stand under. This is a voluntary choice, as contract law requires mutual consent, and all governments in the form of a nation-state are in fact a bankrupt defacto corporation, incompetent in fact, as not fully liable.

The Hierarchy of Authority: A Truth Perspective Beyond Legal Code Fraud

Understanding the Deception: Legality vs. Lawfulness

Before we explore the hierarchy of true authority, we must understand a fundamental truth: legality is fraud.

"Legal" refers to the corporate statutory system—a fabricated framework of codes, statutes, and regulations designed to control, extract wealth, and maintain the illusion of authority over living men and women. This system operates through deception, presumption, and consent obtained by trickery.

Lawful, by contrast, refers to Natural Law—the genuine principles of right and wrong, harm and remedy, that exist independent of any human-made system.

This hierarchy is presented from the perspective of truth and reality, not from within the fraudulent legal code system that seeks to bind you.

The True Hierarchy of Authority (Highest to Lowest)

1. Universal Law (Absolute Truth)

Position: Supreme Reality

Universal Law is the immutable force governing all existence—the laws of cause and effect, energy, consciousness, and divine order. These principles operate whether humans acknowledge them or not. No statute, code, or corporate decree can alter Universal Law.

• Source: The Creator/Source Energy/Divine Intelligence

• Nature: Absolute, eternal, unchangeable

• Authority Over: Everything in existence

• Cannot Be: Contracted away, legislated, or overridden

Reality Check: Gravity doesn't care about your legal opinion. Neither does Universal Law. It simply is.

2. Natural Law (Truth in Action on Earth)

Position: Highest earthly reality

Natural Law is Universal Law expressed in the physical realm. It is the inherent understanding that all living beings possess sovereignty, self-ownership, and the right to exist without harm from others.

The Three Core Principles:

1. Do no harm (to another living being)

2. Do not steal (respect property and self-ownership)

3. Honor your agreements (keep your word)

Everything else is commentary or corruption.

• Source: Observable reality and conscience

• Nature: Self-evident, inherent, unalienable

• Authority Over: All living beings equally

• Cannot Be: Granted by government, taken by statute, or voted away

Reality Check: You don't need a law degree to know that murder, theft, and fraud are wrong. That's Natural Law—written on the human heart, not in corporate code books.

Historical Truth: Every ancient culture recognized these principles before "governments" existed. The corruption began when priest classes and ruling elites created "legal systems" to control the masses while exempting themselves.

3. Law of Maxims (Timeless Principles of Truth)

Position: Third tier—foundational wisdom

Maxims are distilled truths that expose how reality actually functions. They cut through legal fraud and reveal the mechanisms of control:

• "He who creates controls" – You created your body; you control it, not the state

• "Fraud vitiates everything it touches" – All legal systems built on fraud are void

• "Silence is acquiescence" – Your silence is taken as consent

• "Let him who is deceived be deceived" – Ignorance is exploited by design

• "A right cannot arise from a fraud" – No legitimate authority can be built on lies

These maxims are used within legal systems, but they actually expose the fraud of those systems.

• Source: Accumulated wisdom across millennia

• Nature: Self-evident truths about how authority and consent function

• Authority Over: Reveals the truth behind all human interactions

• Used By: Both truth-seekers and deceivers (which is why knowing them is power)

Reality Check: The legal system uses these maxims against you while hiding them from you. Learn them, and you see through the illusion.

4. Sovereign Living Man or Woman (The Highest Earthly Being)

Position: Fourth tier—the only true authority on Earth

A Sovereign is a living, breathing, flesh-and-blood human being with a soul, consciousness, and divine spark. This is you—not the legal fiction name in all caps, not the "citizen," not the "taxpayer."

You are:

• Self-governing

• Self-owning

• Answerable only to Natural Law

• Not subject to corporate statutes without your consent

The fraud: The legal system tricks you into believing you are a "person," "citizen," or "resident"—all corporate legal fictions that can be controlled by statutes.

The truth: You are a living soul. Statutes apply to legal fictions, not to you.

• Source: Divine creation/natural birth

• Nature: Living, conscious, sovereign

• Authority Over: Your own body, property, and affairs

• Cannot Be: Governed without consent; subject to statutes unless you agree

Reality Check: No piece of paper created you. No government gave you life. You exist independent of all legal systems, and they have zero authority over you without your consent—which they obtain through deception.

Historical Truth: Indigenous peoples worldwide lived as sovereigns for millennia before colonizers imposed legal systems. The "legal" framework was the tool of conquest and enslavement.

5. Contract/Agreement (Voluntary Bonds Between Sovereigns)

Position: Fifth tier—the only legitimate way to create obligation

True contracts are voluntary agreements between living men and women, made with:

• Full disclosure (no hidden terms)

• Equal standing (no coercion)

• Mutual benefit (consideration)

• Clear understanding (meeting of the minds)

The fraud: Most "contracts" you sign are adhesion contracts—take-it-or-leave-it documents filled with fine print, where you have no negotiating power. These are not lawful contracts; they are entrapment devices.

The truth: You can only be bound by what you knowingly and voluntarily agree to. Hidden terms, presumptions, and coercion void all contracts.

• Source: Free will and mutual consent

• Nature: Binding only on consenting parties

• Authority Over: Only the parties who agreed

• Cannot Be: Imposed by third parties; used to override Natural Law

Reality Check: Every "law" you think applies to you is actually a corporate statute that requires your consent. They get that consent through trickery: birth certificates, driver's licenses, voter registration, tax forms—all contracts you didn't know you were signing.

Historical Truth: Ancient peoples made agreements face-to-face, with witnesses and clear terms. The modern legal system hides contracts in bureaucratic processes designed to trap you.

6. Treaties (Agreements Between Groups of Sovereigns)

Position: Sixth tier—collective agreements

Treaties are contracts between sovereign nations or peoples. In truth, they should represent the collective will of living men and women, not corporate governments.

The fraud: Modern "treaties" are agreements between corporations (corporate governments), not between actual people. They are used to impose control over populations who never consented.

The truth: A treaty has no authority over you unless you or your legitimate representatives agreed to it with full knowledge and consent.

• Source: Collective consent of sovereign peoples

• Nature: Binding only on those who agreed

• Authority Over: Only the groups who consented

• Cannot Be: Imposed on non-consenting individuals or future generations

Reality Check: Indigenous treaties were systematically violated because corporate governments never intended to honor agreements with sovereigns—they only use "legality" to steal and control.

7. Constitution (Attempt to Limit Government Power)

Position: Seventh tier—a failed restraint

Constitutions were originally designed as chains on government—documents that said, "Government, you may do only these things, and you must respect these rights."

The fraud: Governments ignore constitutions whenever convenient. Courts reinterpret them. Emergencies suspend them. They are treated as "living documents" that mean whatever those in power want them to mean.

The truth: A constitution is only as good as the people willing to enforce it. Without accountability, it's just paper.

• Source: Supposed consent of "the people"

• Nature: Intended as a limit on government; actually ignored

• Authority Over: Should bind government; in practice, binds no one

• Cannot Be: Enforced without a vigilant, educated population

Reality Check: The U.S. Constitution has been systematically shredded since 1861 (Civil War), 1913 (Federal Reserve), and 1933 (bankruptcy). It's a historical artifact, not a functioning restraint on power.

Historical Truth: Every constitution in history has been subverted by those it was meant to restrain. The legal system is the tool of that subversion.

8. Corporation (The Legal Fiction—A Soulless Fraud)

Position: Eighth tier—the instrument of control

A corporation is a legal fiction—a made-up entity that exists only on paper. It has no body, no soul, no conscience, and no inherent rights.

Corporations include:

• Businesses (Inc., LLC, Corp.)

• Governments (USA Inc., CANADA Inc., UNITED STATES)

• Churches (501c3 registered)

• Non-profits and NGOs

The fraud: Corporations are treated as "persons" with rights, while living men and women are tricked into acting as corporate fictions (your all-caps NAME) and losing their rights.

The truth: Corporations are tools. They have no authority except what living people give them. They cannot command you, tax you, or regulate you without your consent.

• Source: Government charter/registration (permission from another corporation)

• Nature: Legal fiction, artificial entity, soulless

• Authority Over: Other corporations and those who consent to corporate jurisdiction

• Cannot: Possess rights, act without living agents, or command sovereigns

Reality Check: Every government agency, every court, every police department is a registered corporation. Look them up on Dun & Bradstreet. They are businesses, not legitimate authorities.

Historical Truth: The corporate takeover accelerated in the 1800s. By the early 1900s, most "governments" had been replaced by corporate franchises operating under color of law.

9. Police Corporations & Corporate Nation-State Bankrupt Agents

Position: Ninth tier—private enforcers of corporate fraud

Police, tax collectors, regulators, and "government agents" are employees of bankrupt corporations. They enforce corporate statutes (not Natural Law) and generate revenue for their corporate employers.

The fraud: They wear costumes (uniforms), carry props (badges), and use intimidation to create the illusion of authority. They claim to "enforce the law," but they enforce corporate policy.

The truth: They have zero authority over you as a living man or woman unless:

• You consent (verbally or by action)

• You are harming another living being

• You have a contract with their corporation

Most "law enforcement" is actually revenue collection and social control.

• Source: Corporate employment contract

• Nature: Private security for corporate interests

• Authority Over: Corporate employees (citizens) and those who consent

• Cannot: Lawfully command sovereigns, enforce statutes without jurisdiction, or act without consent

Reality Check: When a cop pulls you over, he's acting as a corporate revenue agent, not as a protector of Natural Law. The entire interaction is a commercial transaction—unless you're actually harming someone.

Historical Truth: Modern policing emerged from slave patrols and corporate security forces. It was never about justice; it was always about control and profit.

10. Citizen (The Legal Fiction Slave—Your Strawman)

Position: Tenth tier—the corporate identity trap

A "citizen" is a legal fiction—the all-caps NAME on your birth certificate, driver's license, and tax forms (e.g., JOHN DOE). This is not you. This is a corporate entity created by the state and used to bind you to corporate statutes.

The fraud: You are tricked into believing you ARE the citizen, the taxpayer, the defendant. You respond to the NAME, you sign as the NAME, and you accept the obligations of the NAME.

The truth: You are a living man or woman. The "citizen" is a corporate franchise—a legal fiction that can be regulated, taxed, and controlled. You are not it.

• Source: Birth certificate registration (corporate creation)

• Nature: Legal fiction, corporate franchise, debtor to the state

• Authority Over: None—it is a tool used to control you

• Cannot: Possess Natural Law rights, exist without a living being to animate it, or act independently

Reality Check: Every time you use your social security number, driver's license, or legal NAME, you are acting as the corporate fiction and accepting its liabilities. Stop identifying as the fiction, and the system loses its grip.

Historical Truth: The birth certificate system was implemented in the early 1900s to create a registry of corporate assets (you) that could be used as collateral for government debt. You are literally traded on the stock market as a bond.

The Truth: Who Has Real Authority?

Living Beings with Souls and True Sovereignty:

1. Universal Law – The unchangeable reality

2. Natural Law – Truth in action

3. Law of Maxims – Wisdom principles

4. Sovereign Living Man/Woman – You, the living soul

Soulless Fictions with NO Authority Without Your Consent:

1. Corporation – Legal fiction, paper entity

2. Police Corporations & Bankrupt Agents – Corporate employees

3. Citizen – Your strawman, the legal fiction NAME

Tools That Require Your Consent to Function:

1. Contract/Agreement – Binds only those who agree

2. Treaties – Agreements between groups

3. Constitution – Ignored restraint on government

The Core Truth: Consent is the Weapon They Use Against You

The entire legal system is a presumption and consent trap:

1. They presume you are the legal fiction (the NAME)

2. They presume you consent to their jurisdiction

3. They presume you understand and agree to their statutes

4. Your silence, your compliance, and your ignorance are taken as consent

When you withdraw consent, rebut the presumptions, and stand as a living man or woman under Natural Law, the entire illusion collapses.

The legal system is not broken—it's working exactly as designed: to deceive, control, and extract wealth from those who don't know the truth.

Reclaim Your Reality

You are not a citizen. You are not a legal fiction. You are not subject to corporate statutes.

You are a living, sovereign man or woman with inherent rights that no government, corporation, or agent can take from you without your consent.

The path to freedom is not through the legal system—it's outside of it, operating under Natural Law, with full knowledge of the fraud and full withdrawal of consent from the corporate matrix.
