Now, let's take a DEEPER look at the problems. 

 

When you apply for a Social Security Number, you are applying for employment with the UNITED STATES Inc., via it's federal branch and to receive benefits. Granting a Social Security number is prima facie evidence that no matter what you were before, you have voluntarily entered into employment for profit or gain in negotiable instruments and maritime enterprise. In this way, system has been set up to restrict, control, and destroy our personal and economic liberties. 

​

Therefore, all U.S. citizens, are classified as property and franchisees of the federal government, and as an “individual ENTITY.” See Wheeling Steel Corp. v. Fox 298 U.S. 193, 80 L.Ed. 1143, 56 S.Ct. 773. Under the “Buck Act,” 4 U.S.C Secs. 105-113, the federal government has created a “Federal area” within the boundaries of the several states. This boundary is EQUIVALENT to any territory that the federal government acquires through purchase, conquest or treaty, thereby forcing federal law upon the entities in this “Federal area.” Federal territory is evidenced by the Admiralty flag (a federal flag with a gold or yellow fringe on it) seen in schools, offices and courtrooms.

​

To enjoy the freedoms secured by the federal and state constitutions, you must live on the land in one of the states of the Union of several states, not in any “Federal area.” Nor can you be involved in any activity that makes you subject to “federal laws.” You cannot have a valid Social Security Number, a “resident” State driver’s license, a motor vehicle registered in your name, a bank account in a federally insured bank, or any other known “contract implied in fact” that would place you in this “Federal area” and thus within the territorial jurisdiction of the municipal laws of Congress. Remember, all acts of Congress are territorial in nature and can only apply within the territorial jurisdiction of Congress. See American Banana Co. v. United fruit Co., 213 U.S. 347, 356-357 (1909); U.S. v. Spelar, 338 U.S. 217, 222, 94 L.Ed. 3, 70 S.Ct. 402 (1925).

​

THE SOLUTION IS TO BECOME A 'STATE CITIZEN'

But what is... a state citizen. This is where things get tricky.

​

The government recognizes two classes of citizens: a state Citizen and a federal citizen. federal citizens are ALSO considered as 'second class citizens'. Each has different rights and responsibilities. State Citizens created the states who created the federal government who created federal citizens. 

​

Most people are born state Citizens and become federal citizens without their knowledge sometime after birth when receiving the Social Security number & card. 

​

Now let's look at what a 'second class citizen' actually is. 

 

noun

1. a person belonging to a social or political group whose rights and opportunities are inferior to those of the dominant group in a society.

Definitions from Oxford Languages

​

noun

a citizen, especially a member of a minority group, who is denied the social, political, and economic benefits of citizenship.

​

a person who is not accorded a fair share of respect, recognition, or consideration:The boss treats us all like second-class citizens.

Definitions from Dictionary.com

​

​

And a 'First Class citizen is? 

​

First-class citizen as a noun:

A member of a class of individuals that receive fair treatment.

​

State Citizens cannot be subjected to any jurisdiction of law outside the Common Law without their knowing and willing consent after full disclosure of the terms and conditions, and such consent must be under agreement/contract sealed by signature. 

​

They do not need to register their cars or get a driver’s license unless they drive commercially.

 

They can own ANY kind of gun without a license or permit.

 

They do not have to use the same court system that US federal citizens do.  

​

If you are an American State Citizen or American State National, you were always owed exemption from paying mortgages, federal taxes, loans of credit (because you were the source of all that credit, unbeknownst to you), utility bills, college tuition, etc., etc., etc.  

​

You can reclaim your state Citizenship status through a simple and legal BUSINESS process. You will have to change the way you bank, and save, and invest, and other aspects of modern living that probably taken for granted.

​

Information is power. For decades the information, and the power, has been kept by the elite. 

​

Due to the COVID pandemic, the system has been reset to the 'neo-feudalistic' system. In an Neo-feudalistic system, corporations and clergy are at the top of the social pyramid. The middle/second class is slowly but surely being eliminated. The system is favoring corporations and those that have BECOME corporations. This is the way it works now! Whether you decide to change your status is up to you. 

​

To accomplish this, one must turn the legal name into a corporation. 

​

The dictionary defines "corporation" as "a number of persons united in one body for a purpose."

 

Corporate entities date back to medieval times, observes Columbia law professor John Coffee, an authority on corporate law. "You could think of the Catholic Church as probably the first entity that could buy and sell property in its own name," he says.

​

Indeed, having an artificial legal persona was especially important to churches, says Elizabeth Pollman, an associate professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.

​

"Having a corporation would allow people to put property into a collective ownership that could be held with perpetual existence," she says. "So it wouldn't be tied to any one person's lifespan, or subject necessarily to laws regarding inheriting property."

​

The federal diversity jurisdiction statute provides that a corporation is a citizen of both (1) the state where it is incorporated, and (2) “the State where it has its principal place of business.”

 

EIN vs SSN 

​

E.I.N. stands for Employer Identification Number

​

The Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is a unique nine-digit number (same as the SSN) assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to business entities operating in the United States for the purposes of IDENTIFICATION.

​

 As outlandish as it may seem, the government created the EIN with the SSN to give the people a CHOICE. 

​

 In fact, several government agency employees, have admitted that the government would prefer federal citizens find ways to become state citizens/businesses.

​

In his book titled “Unequaled Protection,” Thom Hartmann states

“Our Bill of Rights was the result of tremendous efforts to institutionalize and 
protect the rights of human beings. It strengthened the premise of our Constitution: 

that the people are the root of all power and authority for government. This vision 
has made our Constitution and government a model emulated in many nations. But corporate lawyers (acting as both attorneys and judges) subverted our Bill of Rights in the late 1800’s by establishing the doctrine of “corporate personhood”— the claim that corporations were intended to fully enjoy the legal status and protections created for human beings.

​

We believe that corporations are not persons and possess only the privileges we 
willfully grant them. Granting corporations, the status of legal “persons” effectively rewrites the Constitution to serve corporate interests as though they were human interests.

Ultimately, the doctrine of granting constitutional rights to corporations gives a thing illegitimate privilege and power that undermines our freedom and authority as citizens.”

​

 If we were to go to court for problems with a Lease, Traffic Ticket, or any other alleged illegal activity, we can easily tell the court “You lack jurisdiction over me!” 

 

How is this so? 

​

The answer is because Corporations must be tried in Civil Court. Even if you are being tried as a member of your Corporation, it must be legally distinguished and determined as such.
 

There are even people who sign traffic tickets and other legal documents as their Corporations to avoid going to court. 

​

There is a case where a woman went to court and got a case dismissed by explaining and demonstrating to the judge how they had changed their “Legal Name” into a Corporation and the case now lacked jurisdiction. When the judge researched this information, she noticed that they were telling the truth and the case should be thrown out.

​

American courts routinely hand down harsh sentences to individual convicts, but a very different standard of justice applies to corporations. 

​

BECOME A 'PERSONAL SERVICE CORPORATION'

​

Athletes, Entertainers, Physicians, Dentist, Authors, Songwriters and other professionals that know about this secret use this type of Corporation to IDENTIFY themselves. 

​

• A personal service corporation is a person or group of people who establish a legal entity by filing articles of incorporation with the state's secretary of state granting it certain legal powers, rights, privileges and liabilities.

• A personal service corporation is an organization in which the activity involves the performance of services in the field of health, law, engineering, architecture, accounting, acturial science, performing arts or consulting.

• Substantially all of the stock is owned by the employees who perform the services.

• A personal service corporation SELLS IT'S IDEAS OR EXPERTISE rather than tangible goods. 

 

GUNS

​

A state Citizen has the right to own whatever gun he/she wishes without it or them being registered. A federal citizen does not. In the District of Columbia, it is a felony to own a handgun unless you are a police officer or a security guard or the hand gun was registered before 1978.

 

Therefore the people of the District of Columbia are not protected by the Second Amendment or any other part of the Bill of Rights. 

 

First by registering gun owners then renaming guns ‘Assault Weapons’ and ‘Handguns’, those in power will take away your civil right to bear arms.

 

The right to keep and bear arms is a civil right and not a natural right for a US citizens. 

 

The real protection for state Citizens to keep their guns is not the Second Amendment but the Ninth Amendment.

​

CARS

If your car is registered, the state owns your car. The state provides a sticker to put on your license plate when you re-register your car. It says “OFFICIAL USE ONLY”.

 

Municipal vehicles have signs on them saying “OFFICIAL USE ONLY” on them, but why does yours? Well now... You do not own your car. You have a Certificate of Title but that's NOT the certificate of origin. BY PAYING THE YEARLY REGISTRATION FEE, YOU ARE LEASING A STATE /CORPORATE MOTOR VEHICLE.

 

Because you are using their company equipment, they can regulate how it is used.

 

A state Citizen must be able to explain to the police officers why they are not required to have the usual paperwork that most people have. 

​

A state Citizen has the right to travel on the public easements (public roads) without being registered. A federal citizen does not.

 

When you register your car, you turn over power of attorney to the state. At that point, it becomes a motor vehicle. 

​

PROPERTY

Foreclosures are stopped because they cannot collect debt against a State Citizen/corporation valued in anything other than gold and silver coin. The exception being non-judicial foreclosure states.

​

Mind you, that is not even scratching the surface of the perks and benefits of incorporating your name.

​

THE ORIGIN OF CORPORATIONS

​

Contributors: Glyn Holton, JL Patterson

​

When people talk of corporations, it is usually joint-stock limited liability corporations that they have in mind. These share three characteristics:

​

Legal personality: Corporations are treated as artificial people, with a capacity for legal rights and obligations similar to those of natural persons.

​

Equity financing: Ownership is securitized as stock that may be held by multiple investors and traded in secondary markets.

​

Limited liability: The liabilities of the corporation are not liabilities of its owners, who can lose nothing more than the capital they have already committed to the corporation.

​

As the following history of corporations relates, it is the first characteristic that defines a corporation.

​

Roman Corporations
It is natural to think of an organization as having a collective identity distinct from that of any particular person who owns or belongs to it. The Romans recognized this with the notion of a corporation. The word corporation derives from the Latin word corpus for body, representing a body of people authorized to act as an individual. Cities were the first entities the Romans treated as corporations. 

​

Over time, the concept was extended to certain community organizations called collegia. These included artisan associations, religious societies and social clubs formed to provide funerals for members.

​

Most Roman corporations served exclusively community or religious purposes. Of course, distinguishing public from private interests can be difficult. A natural tension exists between the two in any society.

​

The Roman Republic relied on private contractors to perform a variety of tasks. Contracts to build aqueducts, manufacture arms, construct temples, collect taxes—even feed the geese on the capital—were granted to firms called publicani. These originated as loose associations among contractors who would pool their resources to bid on contracts.

 

Over time, the publicani evolved into permanent companies with numerous investors, only a handful of whom served as managers. Larger publicani employed thousands of workers spread across Rome’s provinces. Fragmented evidence indicates that some of these received corporate status (habere corpus), which included a grant of limited liability for investors.

​

The publicani were well connected and, at times, extremely influential. Collusion with government officials was a lucrative way of business. If there was public indignation, it was balanced by investment enthusiasm. Polybius reported.

There is scarcely a soul, one might say, who does not have some interest in these contracts and the profits which are derived from them.

​

As early as records exist, the publicani were tainted by scandal. During the Second Punic War, the Republic agreed to insure the ship-borne cargoes of publicani willing to supply the legions on credit. Two years later, it came to light that old, rotting ships had been loaded with worthless goods and then scuttled at sea. The perpetrators organized a mob to disrupt a public enquiry. Eventually, it was only intervention by the Senate that brought them to justice.

​

Tax collecting was one of the publicani’s more controversial enterprises. Rome assessed a number of taxes, including taxes on pastures, grain and even the freeing of slaves. The publicani collected a number of these from Rome’s provinces. Essentially, they would buy future tax revenue from the state and then pocket whatever they could collect.

​

The system was ripe for abuse. Rome’s local governors oversaw the tax collections in each province. Some were corrupt, and the process became one of the governor and publicani together seizing whatever they could. Even when governors were honest, provincials understood they would be paying more than the percentages prescribed by law. Few governors would willingly antagonize their own financiers—publicani could work political mischief back in Rome.

​

Nicomedes III was king of Bithynia, a client state of Rome. When Rome’s senate asked him to contribute troops to help fight the Germans, he replied that he had none to spare. The publicani had enslaved most of his subjects! The enslavements may have been related to tax debts.

​

Where there was a publicanus, there was no effective public law and no freedom for the subjects.

​

Under the emperors, the political landscape shifted, and the publicani were suppressed. New forms of corporations emerged. Charitable corporations were established to serve Rome’s growing indigent population. The emerging Catholic Church employed the corporate form as a vehicle for joint ownership of real estate and other property.

​

Trading Corporations
Roman law survived the fall of the Western Roman Empire to reemerge in aspects of the Church’s canon law and Europe’s secular bodies of law. During the Middle Ages, cities, guilds, monasteries and universities were all chartered as corporations, typically by sovereigns, local nobility or religious authorities. All served largely public or religious functions. For centuries, Europe witnessed nothing that resembled Rome’s publicani. This changed around 1600, when new business forms emerged to challenge the might of Spain and Portugal. The upstarts were chartered corporations.

​

There is something about representative government that allows people and their institutions to flourish. Is it coincidence that both Rome and the United States were republics? Consider the Dutch. From 1568 to 1648, they fought the Eighty Years War to cast off their Spanish rulers. In the midst of that war, they formed their own republic. This launched a period that has come to be known as the Dutch Golden Age. Art, trade and social tolerance flourished. This was the age of Rembrandt and Vemeer. The Dutch formed the first stock exchange. They sailed all over the world, even founding one notable outpost on the Southern tip of Manhattan Island.

​

Portugal had discovered the East Indies as the source of spices, and Spain was plundering the Americas for gold and silver. The Vatican legitimized this arrangement, ruling that lands discovered in the Eastern Hemisphere belonged to Portugal while lands discovered in the Western Hemisphere belonged to Spain. Holland and England flaunted the Vatican’s law. Not only did they practice a different religion, but they adopted different methods. While the Spanish and Portuguese sovereigns shouldered the expenses and risks of overseas ventures, English and Dutch traders formed private corporations to challenge them.

​

These trading corporations had their roots in guilds. During the 14th and 15th centuries, guilds were chartered primarily to enforce a monopoly in certain businesses or geographic regions. In exchange for a grant of monopoly, a guild would make ongoing fee payments to its chartering authority. Members of a guild might compete with one another, but outsiders were excluded.

​

Traders also formed guilds. Their purpose was to secure from the government a grant of monopoly over trade with specific geographic regions. In England, such guilds were called regulated companies. They were often referred to by names reflecting their monopolies—the India Company, African Company, Russia Company, Turkey Company, etc.

​

The members of a regulated company might compete with one another, but they often formed short-term partnerships to conduct specific voyages. Also, a regulated company might sponsor voyages, which it would open to all members. Because these voyages were the company’s own ventures, participants enjoyed limited liability. Equity subscriptions were offered to members, but additional capital could be raised from outsiders, who would pay a nominal “membership fee” in addition to their investment. Members would then outfit and man the ships. Regulated companies that sponsored equity-financed voyages came to be called joint-stock companies.

​

Two early joint stock companies were Holland’s and England’s respective East India Companies, which were chartered to challenge Portugal’s dominance of the spice islands. Initially, neither company had permanent equity. Each voyage would have its own equity subscription. This proved impractical, and soon capital from one voyage was being rolled over to finance subsequent voyages. In this way, the companies evolved to become much like today’s business corporations.

 

They had separate managers and investors. Members gradually became an anachronism, taking on more the role of an employee base.

​

The joint-stock corporations cultivated influence at the highest levels of government. The Queen and nobility had significant investments in the English East India Company, and they looked out for the company’s interests in the halls of government. The joint-stock companies continued the guild practice of making ongoing payments to the state. In this we may perceive the origins of corporate taxation, but the people of the day viewed it as more akin to graft.

​

When motivated by greed, managers’ behavior could be deplorable. While the English East India Company was negotiating trading rights with the kingdom of Achin, that nation’s sultan suggested it would be nice if he could have a couple European girls for his harem. The English managers felt uncomfortable facilitating polygamy, but they saw nothing wrong with presenting just one English girl for what would, in essence, be sexual slavery. One of the company’s managers offered his own daughter for this purpose. She was saved by King James II, who refused to approve the gift.

​

The Dutch were brutal in pursuing their trade interests. Holland was at war with Portugal, and their East India Company carried on that war. They attacked Portugese shipping and facilities wherever they found them. England and Holland were allies, but Dutch merchants didn’t care. As Holland’s de facto representatives in the East Indies, they put profits ahead of national interest and periodically employed the threat of violence as a competitive device against English traders.

​

The Banda Islands, West of New Guinea, were the world’s sole source of nutmeg. In 1620, the Dutch East India Company forcibly evicted the English from this prize. They then committed genocide against the natives, killing or deporting into slavery most of the population. In 1623, on the nearby island of Amboyna, the Dutch imprisoned about 40 individuals, whom they accused of plotting against them. Among the prisoners were ten representatives of the English East India Company. The Dutch merchants brutally tortured their prisoners and then executed most of them. When word of this atrocity reached London, it almost sparked a war.

​

The oldest United States corporation is located at the corner of 29th Street and Fifth Avenue.  

 

Remarkably it’s not a multinational corporation, a large oil company, or sprawling railroad; it is “America’s Hometown Church”—Marble Collegiate Church.

​

In 1628, four years after the founding of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam, Reverend Jonas Michaelius arrived from Holland to organize the Dutch Reformed Church (now known as the Collegiate Church). The first worship service was conducted in a gristmill on what is now South William Street, when the entire population of the city was less than 300. The first church elder was Governor Peter Minuit, who had recently purchased Manhattan Island from the Native Americans. Peter Stuyvesant, Director General of New Amsterdam, led worshippers to Sunday service.

​

When the British took over the city in 1664 and renamed it New York, they allowed the Dutch Reformed Church to continue its worship traditions. King William III granted the church a Royal Charter in 1696, making the Collegiate Church the oldest corporation in America. It is also the oldest Protestant organization in North America with continuous service for 382 years.

​

Bubbles and Abuses
Most people have heard of the Mississippi Scheme and the South Sea Bubble. They were popularized in Mackay’s (1841) Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds as early instances of speculative bubbles. What is not as widely known is the fact that these schemes—essentially frauds—were orchestrated and promoted by the French and English governments.

 

In the early 1700s, both nations had large war debts they wanted to quickly retire. Both nations pursued a strategy of engraftment. Publicly owned government debt would be exchanged for stock in some corporation, which would then hold all the debt. The governments could then extract reduced interest rates from those corporations in exchange for generous monopoly grants. This was the theory. In practice, the French and English governments implemented their engraftment schemes with struggling corporations with questionable prospects. The French did so with the Mississippi Company, which was a struggling, mismanaged corporation with vague plans to promote emigration to the Americas and acquire a grant of monopoly over tobacco. The English did so with the South Sea Company, which was formed by the government specifically for the purpose of engraftment. It was granted certain monopolies over English trade with South America. Since Spain was in control of those regions, the company’s monopolies were probably worthless.

 

The Mississippi and South Sea Companies’ only valuable assets would be government debt paying reduced interest rates. To induce investors to exchange their government debt for shares in the corporations, promoters and the French and English governments had to convince them that the corporations’ franchises were valuable. They manipulated the corporations’ stock prices so they would be higher than the par value of the exchanged government debt. Investors scrambled to make the exchange, and frenzied speculators bid the corporations’ stocks even higher. Speculative bubbles developed for both corporations’ stocks. The Mississippi Company bubble burst in the Summer of 1720. Fortunes were lost, and France’s semi-feudal economy was crippled. The South Sea bubble burst soon afterwards. Its impact on the more robust English economy was not as severe, but it had repercussions across all the economies of Europe.

​

At the height of the South Sea bubble, England’s Parliament passed an act severely restricting the formation of new corporations. This has come to be known as the Bubble Act. There is a common misperception that it was passed as a response to the bursting of the South Seas bubble. In fact, it was passed while the bubble was forming in an attempt to block new corporations from competing with the South Seas Company for investors’ capital. For almost a hundred years following the bursting of the bubble, the Bubble Act and a general anti-corporate sentiment severely limited the formation of new English corporations.

​

Incorporation by Registration
A recurring theme in the history of corporations is that they should exist to serve some public purpose, and they are granted certain privileges to facilitate this. The state would charter corporations that it deemed worthy. At first, the most important privilege was a grant of some monopoly—say a monopoly over trade with some region or an exclusive right to build a certain canal. Over time, transferability of shares and limited liability became more important. These gave corporations an enormous advantage in raising capital over sole proprietorships and partnerships. Investors with modest holdings and limited liability were comfortable letting specialists run their corporations, so the separation of investors and management became one of the great strengths—and great weaknesses—of limited liability joint-stock corporations.

​

The building of highways, canals and railroads was a quintessential public need, and numerous corporations were chartered for these purposes. For other businesses, the state’s monopoly on granting corporate status proved onerous. When entrepreneurs tried to form a new corporation, competitors could oppose their petition for incorporation.

 

Inevitably, the process was marked by political intrigue. When incorporation was denied, entrepreneurs had meager options. They might buy a failing corporation as a shell and then raise capital for a business unrelated to that corporation’s original monopoly. This practice was called charter abuse. With the supply of failing corporations limited, a more common solution was to simply issue stock in unincorporated companies. This legally perilous practice became widespread in England during the late 1700s. Many respectable firms were formed in this manner. In the early 1800s, competitors started challenging their legality in court.

​

The English industrial revolution was taking off, and the courts and governments found themselves making increasingly arbitrary decisions about which businesses to favor. Something had to be done. The solution was a new concept:

 

incorporation by registration. In various countries, legislation was passed allowing entrepreneurs to incorporate any firm they liked by simply filing paperwork. No longer would corporations be privileged associations granted monopolies by the state to pursue some public purpose. They had become a standard business form—along with sole proprietorships and partnerships—that was available to all.

​

The United States emerged from its civil war in 1865 poised for growth. She was wealthy in land and natural resources. She had a well educated populace, liberal social and legal systems and an abundance of cheep labor arriving at her shores. The industrial revolution then underway was one of explosive growth unprecedented in earlier history. Mark Twain called this America’s Gilded Age. Incorporation by registration made it easy for businessmen to form corporations and raise capital. A lack or regulation facilitated unsavory business practices. Businessmen with the least scruples or the most vision rose to lead industry. They were disparagingly called robber barons and came to include Andrew Carnegie, who dominated steel, Jay Gould in railroads, John D. Rockefeller in oil and John P. Morgan in banking.

 

Managerial Capitalism
The agency problem has existed as long as men have allowed others to act on their behalf. In corporations, it arises between stockholders and managers, and this was one of the reasons Adam Smith (1776) denounced corporation. Commenting on managers, he complained

… being the managers rather of other people’s money than of their own, it cannot well be expected, that they should watch over it with the same anxious vigilance with which the partners of a private copartnery frequently watch over their own … Negligence and profusion, therefore, must always prevail, more or less, in the management of the affairs of such a company.

​

Writing 150 years later, Berle and Means (1932) noted a fundamental change in this agency problem. The age of the robber barons had passed, and ownership of American corporations was becoming more widely dispersed. This phenomena is called the democracy of capitalism. It meant that stock holdings were dispersed, and individual shareholders were losing the ability to influence how corporations were managed. Berle and Means noted:

​

Under such conditions, control may be held by the directors or titular managers who can employ the proxy machinery to become a self-perpetuating body, even though as a group they own but a small fraction of the stock outstanding.

​

Berle and Means were witnessing the beginnings of a phenomena called managerial capitalism. In Adam Smith’s day, this didn’t exist. Shareholders still controlled corporations, and the agency problem was a matter of managers not exercising “anxious vigilance.” Under managerial capitalism, shareholders have surrendered control to managers, and the agency problem is one of managers enriching themselves to the extent applicable laws will allow. Berle and Means identified a variety of devices by which managers might do so. Laws have evolved since, but similar devices still exist. Perhaps the most straightforward is for managers to pay themselves exorbitant compensation.

​

Scholarly apologists for managerial capitalism have tried to redefine the very concept of the corporation in order to legitimize managerial abuses. Ignoring a definition that dates to Roman times, not to mention 400 years of common law, these scholars have proposed their own definition of a corporation, which is called the contracts theory of the firm. It is also called the contractarian or nexus of contracts theory of the firm. It posits that, instead of being a legal entity, a corporation is merely a collection of contracts—contracts between shareholders, board members, managers, employees, suppliers and customers. Under this theory, shareholders don’t own corporation, because there is nothing to own! Instead, shareholders’ stock represents a contract under which they provide capital to board members and receive dividends in return. There is much wrong with this reinterpretation of the corporation. Perhaps the fatal flaw is the fact that not all corporate obligations are contractual. Board members have always had a fiduciary—as opposed to contractual—obligation to shareholders.

​

Corporate Governance Movement
Managerial capitalism spread during the 20th century. As it did so, boards lost relevance. Many CEOs had themselves appointed chairman of the board. Managers took board seats for themselves. On many boards, they took most of the seats. Short of setting strategy and overseeing managers, boards were increasingly becoming appendages to management.

​

There is an old joke about two campers who are startled by a bear. When one of the campers starts lacing up his running shoes, his partner asks “What are you doing? You can’t outrun a bear.” The other camper responds “I don’t have to. I just have to outrun you!”

​

Managers don’t really maximize shareholder value. This often-cited goal is an absolute ideal that is impossible to assess. As a practical matter, managers strive to outperform—or at least keep up with—competing corporations. A corporation’s stock can drop 5%, but managers are heroes so long as the market drops 10%. This relativist way of thinking is indefensible except for the fact that there are no good alternatives.

​

Cast on a relative sea and rudderless without strong board leadership, American corporations drifted. A wakeup call came in the 1980s, when Japanese corporations flooded US markets with high quality goods at reasonable prices. The Japanese offered a unique opportunity to understand—in an absolute sense—how far US corporations had strayed from maximizing shareholder value.

​

One response was hostile takeovers. Financed with junk bonds, raiders would seize control of a firm, fire management, slash expenses, and then sell off a reorganized firm at a profit. That was the theory. In practice, the takeover market of the 1980s was marred by kickbacks and insider trading, but proponents justified the market in ways that resonated with the public. Michael Milken was the messiah. Bruck (1988) explained:

​

Milken had long professed contempt for the corporate establishment, portraying many of its members as fat, poorly managed behemoths who squandered their excess capital and whose investment-grade bonds, as he loved to say, could move in only one direction—down.

​

Takeovers threatened the prerequisites of managers, and some started to act—slashing expenses and refocusing their firms. When management didn’t act, boards might. The boards of General Motors, IBM and American Express all fired underperforming CEOs. Delaware courts and the SEC clarified the responsibilities of boards. Institutional investors also acted, pressuring boards to fire underperforming CEOs or to reform themselves. These efforts coalesced into a corporate governance movement that promoted reforms such as

requiring that a majority of directors be independent;
separating the roles of CEO and chairman, or failing that, appointing a “lead” independent director to play a role similar to that of chairman;
requiring that key board committees be composed exclusively of independent directors.

Following the corporate scandals of 2001-2002, some of the reforms promoted by the corporate governance movement were adopted in legislation or in stock exchange rules. Minor legislative reforms were also implemented following the 2008 financial crisis.

​

Special Purpose Vehicles
Today, corporations are widely employed as special purpose vehicles in structured finance. In this role, corporations may be little more than receptacles for property—perhaps leased property or collateral backing a securitization. As a special purpose vehicle, a corporation has little in common with the Roman corporations, not to mention the great trading corporations of the 1600s or the industrial corporations of the robber barons. Special purpose vehicles generally have no employees. In some cases, ownership is mostly concentrated in a single sponsoring corporation, in which case the concept of a group of people acting as one hardly applies. Special purpose vehicles don’t have to be implemented as corporations, but doing so is a convenient means of achieving limited liability.

​

Special purpose vehicles serve many valuable purposes, but they also offer opportunity for abuse. This became starkly apparent in the Enron scandal, in which special purpose vehicles were widely used to hide that firm’s massive debts.

​

Corporation derives from the word corpus for body. Corporations came into existence during the latter days of the Roman Republic as an alternative method of funding projects to ease the financial strains that Roman expansion had placed on government.

Corporations became the perfect answer. Now utilities, public infrastructures, theaters, stadiums, and even small towns could be incorporated by responsible groups rather than individuals. Corporations were offered cover as “corpus habere,” which means literally “to have a body” and given all the same rights of any single person and even vested with the privilege of perpetuity.

​

Corporations were organized in whole or in part as a public character. The original intent of the corporation was not for business purposes and certainly not just to enrich themselves through profit as the guiding principle of their existence.

​

Over time, corporations were allowed to enter into the world of business especially where financial profit was justified to cover the risks that came with private enterprise.

CORPORATIONS AS ACTUAL ENTITIES.

​

First, let's look at the word 'Entity'.

​

en·ti·ty

/ˈen(t)ədē/

​

noun

1. a thing with distinct and independent existence.

   "Church and empire were fused in a single entity"

   ​

2. existence; being.

   "entity and nonentity"

​

Now, s#!t gets deep. 

​

Next, we will examine what a 'corporate entity' is. 

​

A corporate entity is a business structure formed specifically to perform activities, such as running an enterprise or holding assets. Although it may be comprised of individual directors, officers, and shareholders, a corporation is a legal entity in and of itself.

​

Here is the OTHER SIDE of business and reality as a whole. Also, why it is so important to understand these concepts. You are already involved in all this so you might as well learn what is really going on here.

CORPORATE EGREGORES

​

Here is an article that explains THE SPIRITUAL SIDE of all this. Again, beware... this info is DEEP and potentially frightening to the weak.

​

This article explores the identity of the corporate body and how it can often become an independent entity, outside the control of any singular individual. In magickal terms the corporation can, by virtue of its presence in memespace and its influence over the collective human psyche, become the magickal construct known as an egregore. Much of this can apply to all corporate or cooperative bodies, but the lifestyle providers that dance on our TV's, follow us down the streets and in our cars, and who gently invade our homes and minds, are the most powerful and compelling.

The modern corporation is far more than simply a building full of people that creates a product or manages resources. It exists in physical space, data space, and in aetheric space. It is a collective of intentional will committed to self-preservation, growth, and profit. It wields language and media to establish its presence and identity in the age of global trade. The corporation is unified in its focus, executes on its desires, and manipulates resources in accordance with its intent. It is in many ways an individual composed of many cooperative cells. Like the human body, the corporation maintains its identity and function in spite of the continuous recycling of its cells. The structure persists by its own will and inertia. The corporation is not bound to any one location. It can move, disperse, and distribute through data networks. It behaves with a single will, informed by the will of the corporate collective, bent towards the same end: maintaining the existence & continued growth of the corporate entity.

The genesis of the corporation was as a representation of the shared interests of a group. Soon it evolved to have the legal status roughly equivalent to a person. It has become an independent entity with the same rights as an individual (or more). Its person-hood reinforces its self-identity and the identity it projects to the world. It wants to appear human and be regarded as such. This is the only way to find intimacy with the consumer; the only way the corporation can generate trust and acceptance. This identity begins with the corporate vision but soon moves into the minds of the consumer culture where it can tap into a deeper level of emotional associations. It is at this point that it has evolved from a business entity into a psychic one.

Corporate Sigil

The corporation is recognized by its products - the output of its collective will manifesting in the material plane - and by its image - the constructs it builds up around itself, intentionally & unintentionally, through advertising, marketing, its actions and its transgressions. As the corporate image becomes more and more focused and defined, it is easier to package and deliver to the minds of consumers. While the internal corporate identity may wear one mask, the public persona usually wears another. It is this basic deception which gives power to the emergent egregore and allows it such access to our dreams & desires.

The coporate logo is a sigil used to represent it to the world. The logo is a way to encapsulate a highly complex system in a single, easy to digest image that can be fed to the masses. The better the corporate sigil, the more that people identify with its logo, and the less they look beyond its representation of the corporate ideal. The sigil is a spell cast upon the world to ensnare us in its allure and avert our eyes from its indiscretions. The corporate image employs a vast army of trained psychoengineers hired explicitly to exploit the psychological and perceptual weaknesses of the consumer culture. They distill its carefully crafted identity into emotional aggregates, surgical abstractions designed to re-associate the faceless corporate entity with ideas and images and slogans that appeal to the human animal on a subconscious level.

The corporate logo is then a further abstraction of the crafted image, containing within it the cultural weight of its associations, wrapped in a simple image easily absorbed and remembered. The corporate entity clothes itself in meaning and uses symbolism to represent that meaning. Now the Nike "swoosh" represents far more than just a company that sells shoes. It is athleticism, adventure, competition, endurance, work & struggle. Michael Jordan. Nike Town. Sweatshops and personalization agitprop. When Jonah Peretti (http://www.shey.net/niked.html) made international news for trying to personalize a Nike shoe order with the word "sweatshop", the Nike meme expanded to include this as well. (this was an excellent example of a simple magickal assault on a corporate egregore.) And remember when they used the Beatles song "Say you want a revolution" in a TV commercial? This is the egregore clothing itself in pop culture in order to gain greater access to the collective consciousness.

Corporate Egregore

An egregore is a magickal entity that functions with its own will. It is unique from a deity or godform in that it is explicitly a human creation, rather than an inherent archetype or psychic representation. It is given life by the intent of its creator and is initially designed to fulfill a certain goal. This is typically the role of a servitor as a servant to its master. But if the servitor gains enough power it can become an egregore, independent from the will of its creator. It takes on a life of its own. When the Nike execs go home for the evening, the egregore lives on in media, in the minds of consumers, and in its product set behind glass windows, walking the streets, sitting in our homes. Indeed, if successful it will persist through generations, drawing devoted servants into its halls - servants who will work hard to extend its presence in the noosphere.

Satire and cultural appropriation are indicators that a meme has grown beyond the scale of its original intent. As it passes through more and more heads its identity expands further into the global mind. As the egregore yields more of its identity to the mass culture, it grows beyond the control of its servants. They must simply respond and adapt to the consumer climate. There is a subtle feedback loop here. The egregore influences culture, which in turn sets greater demands on the egregore and its product.

Brand association with genres, lifestyles, and cultural identity bring meaning and depth to the inherent soullesness of the corporate egregore. It's power grows as it occupies more bandwidth in memespace, and as it clothes itself in emotional aggregates, feeding on dreams & desire. As pop culture evolves, so too will the masks of the egregore, enlisting celebrities and popular trends to peddle its product. Even after the inevitable demise of its material foundation, the egregore lives on as a relic of antiquity - a memory of pop culture.

Targets

With this profile of the corporate egregore - the magickal lifestyle branders - it should be possible to identify points of entry for magickal attacks. If the egregore occupies aetheric space, then it is open to aetheric assault. It must be remembered that it has entered our space and we ultimately make the rules.

One method is reprogramming brand associations. Engage the corporate sigil directly, then methodically re-brand it internally. Make associations with the opposite of its advertising intentions. Re-brand your conception of Nike with weakness, exploitation, plastics, petroleum byproducts, and failure. By changing your own internal aetheric representation of the corporate brand you weaken its hold on the collective psyche.

The sigil can be further re-engineered by altering it to have a satirical or contradictory message. It can then be re-associated in trance & ritual, or printed on t-shirts & bumper stickers. Then send them to the employees. Use agitprop to re-image the corporate meme in a way that is counter-productive to its goals. Reveal it's hidden secret in public satire.

As the corporate egregore expands into memespace and becomes more and more integrated into pop culture, it leaves more and more traces of itself. Logos, ads, product placement, branded wrappers, product carried by consumers, news items, parodies & satire - all of these can be regarded as it's children, like tentacles spreading through the aether. As such, they are potential points of entry... tunnels back to the source. This technique is, of course, dangerous. Putting yourself in a highly suggestive state and then merging into a corporate logo is not recommended. Who's existence is more widely believed? Yours, or DuPont's? But for the bold, there is a potential path here.

Magickal assaults can use these techniques to invoke the egregore, but what do you do once you're there? The fundamental assumption within the corporation is that stuff is important. That goods & services are necessary to human survival and happiness. Conversely, the most terrifying reality of the corporation is that it is impermanent. It's always struggling against market factors, shareholders, and fickle customers; employee negligence & stupidity; corporate watchdogs and bold journalists. Strike with the inner peace of impermanence. Strike with the relentless change of time, who brings down all attempts at order. Strike with hawk-headed gods and egyptian queens. Strike with the legends and myths of humanity, rich with depth and meaning and integrity. Amidst the backdrop of history, the corporation is a fleeting moment. Show it this truth. Plant seeds of aetheric chaos.

The Big Boys

Most of this paper has been oriented towards lifestyle providers and high-profile manufacturers. But what of the dark forces, the archons of war and exploitation? Are magickal assaults on such entities viable? Safe? Bechtel, Halliburton, the Carlysle Group - these are the real powers stalking the planet. These shadowy egregores prefer to keep as low of a profile as possible. You'll not find any corporate sigils lying around like keys to the vault. An effective angle uses good 'ol guerilla journalism. Get the word out. When the profiteering and lies become public knowledge, the dark egregore is exposed and weakens. It can no longer function unfettered. How many people knew what Halliburton was 5 years ago? Now the egregore is under assault. Draw them out of the shadows, then attack with the light.

The best magick is practice. Your money is your voice. Try not to buy corporate products. Buy local and independent. If you're buying designer clothes, don't wear labels. Cut them off or blot them out. There's no way to stop supporting corporations completely. the luxury of the first-world is supported by the cheap labor of the third. But support good businesses, and don't give your money to the bad ones. Educate people about the worst corporations, and strike the egregores in their inevitable moments of weakness.

Finally, never under-estimate the Tibetan Buddhist rituals of compassion. If you gain access to the mainframe of the egregore, feed it your inherent love for the beauty of nature, the mother creator, the genetic link binding us to life and love and light. The ideals and dreams of the human animal are the most powerful weapons we have in our vast arsenal of evolutionary technology. Sigilize your deepest adoration of the earthly kingdom and give it as an offering to the heart of the corporate egregore.

The process of incorporating your name is deeper than it appears to be on the surface. Simple yes, and one can start and run a business safely without the consideration of this subject matter, as long as the corporation is run righteously and properly. However, it is strongly advised that if you are going to start a business/create a corporate entity, that you are trained and have some assistance in doing so. That is the true power behind Team Exodus and our whole mission.
