I think I might just do that....But to be honest there is a insane amount of work in admiralty, the powers that be can count on most of us to be to lazy (or poor) to attempt to gain sovereignty

. I think ppl of "status" like Oprah have achieved this because she has the financial resources to hire a team of skilled lwayers. Oprah and "O" magazine and her tv channel is an prime example, her name is pretty much off limits to everybody without her consent because of previous fraud. She got the rights to legal usages of her name.. I do recall Oprah stating that owning her name was the best thing she ever did back in 2002...

lol:Funny how Oprah is not in my spell check

I have a buddy thats been going to the process of putting a lean against his Strawman (name in all caps, the corp) for years...
When dude was at my crib in ATL visiting once he had this huge maritime law book. He would read that shit like it was king magazine

... I remember he got to a stage where he had to go to the county & state court house (and a police station) for various legal procedures of sorts and also place a public notice in the newspaper about the lean against his strawman... He said most the clerks and officers had no idea what he was talking about, even though the information (albeit confucian) was in the maritime law books...He believed most the employees genuinely had no idea what he was talking about, but he suspected some of the older gentlemen he met along the way were just "playing stupid" to thwart his progress. He was real deep into the shit, most of that shit was over my head at the time... if one has put a lean against his fictitious name/person then one theoretically could be able to sue for example solicitors or any company that uses you name to bill you or conduct business..
My boy was dealing with Moorish since then, I've heard a small handful of the Moorish cats claimed moorish sovereign rights and status that supersede western law...Told me stories about cats that would just get shit like free electricity for years because the power company was too "afraid" to bill them (or cut it off) or take them to court...cats suing corps and get 250,000 a pop for every "illegal" usage of their name.. Shit sounded crazy to me at the time, but this is america crazier things have happened.
The down side of sovereignty is no social security anymore, no public assistance, financial aid, nothing to do with state, local or federal government at all. your completely on your own...
