Hiding Behind the BAR

Why Attorneys Are Not Lawyers

In the U.S., they're collectively called everything from "attorney" to "lawyer"
to "counselor." Are these terms truly equivalent, or has the identity of one
been mistaken for another? What exactly is a "Licensed BAR Attorney?" This
credential accompanies every legal paper produced by attorneys - along with a
State Bar License number. As we are about to show you, an 'attorney' is not a
'lawyer,' yet the average American improperly interchanges these words as if
they represent the same occupation, and the average American attorney unduly
accepts the honor to be called "lawyer" when he is not.

In order to discern the difference, and where we stand within the current court
system, it's necessary to examine the British origins of our U.S. courts and
the terminology that has been established from the beginning. It's important to
understand the proper lawful definitions for the various titles we now give
these court related occupations.

The legal profession in the U.S. is directly derived from the British system.
Even the word "bar" is of British origin:

BAR. A particular portion of a court room. Named from the space enclosed by two
bars or rails: one of which separated the judge's bench from the rest of the
room; the other shut off both the bench and the area for lawyers engaged in
trials from the space allotted to suitors, witnesses, and others. Such persons
as appeared as speakers (advocates, or counsel) before the court, were said to
be "called to the bar", that is, privileged so to appear, speak and otherwise
serve in the presence of the judges as "barristers." The corresponding phrase
in the United States is "admitted to the bar". - A Dictionary of Law (1893).
From the definition of 'bar,' the title and occupation of a "barrister" is
derived:

BARRISTER, English law. A counselor admitted to plead at the bar. 2. Ouster
barrister, is one who pleads ouster or without the bar. 3. Inner barrister, a
sergeant or king's counsel who pleads within the bar. 4. Vacation barrister, a
counselor newly called to the bar, who is to attend for several long vacations
the exercise of the house. 5. Barristers are called apprentices, apprentitii ad
legem, being looked upon as learners, and not qualified until they obtain the
degree of sergeant. Edmund Plowden, the author of the Commentaries, a volume of
elaborate reports in the reigns of Edward VI., Mary, Philip and Mary, and
Elizabeth, describes himself as an apprentice of the common law. - A Law
Dictionary by John Bouvier (Revised Sixth Edition, 1856).

BARRISTER, n. [from bar.] A counselor, learned in the laws, qualified and
admitted to please at the bar, and to take upon him the defense of clients;
answering to the advocate or licentiate of other countries. Anciently,
barristers were called, in England, apprentices of the law. Outer barristers
are pleaders without the bar, to distinguish them from inner barristers,
benchers or readers, who have been sometime admitted to please within the bar,
as the king's counsel are. - Webster's 1828 Dictionary.
Overall, a barrister is one who has the privilege to plead at the courtroom bar
separating the judicial from the non-judicial spectators. Currently, in U.S.
courts, the inner bar between the bench (judge) and the outer bar no longer
exists, and the outer bar separates the attorneys (not lawyers) from the
spectator's gallery. This will be explained more as you read further. As with
the word 'bar,' each commonly used word describing the various court officers
is derived directly from root words:

3 From the word "solicit" is derived the name and occupation of a 'solicitor';
one who solicits or petitions an action in a court.

SOLICIT, v.t. [Latin solicito] 1. To ask with some degree of earnestness; to
make petition to; to apply to for obtaining something. This word implies
earnestness in seeking ... 2. To ask for with some degree of earnestness; to
seek by petition; as, to solicit an office; to solicit a favor. - Webster's
1828 Dictionary.

4). From the word "attorn" is derived the name and occupation of an 'attorney;'
one who transfers or assigns property, rights, title and allegiance to the
owner of the land.

ATTORN / v. Me. [Origin French. atorner, aturner assign, appoint, f. a-torner
turn v.] 1. v.t. Turn; change, transform; deck out. 2. v.t Turn over (goods,
service, allegiance, etc.) to another; transfer, assign.
3. v.i. Transfer one's tenancy, or (arch.) homage or allegiance, to another;
formally acknowledge such transfer. attorn tenant (to) Law formally transfer
one's tenancy (to), make legal acknowledgement of tenancy ( to a new landlord).
- Oxford English Dictionary 1999.

ATTORN, v.i. [Latin ad and torno.] In the feudal law, to turn, or transfer
homage and service from one lord to another. This is the act of feudatories,
vassels or tenants, upon the alienation of the estate.
- Webster's 1828 Dictionary.

ATTORNMENT, n. The act of a feudatory, vassal or tenant, by which he consents,
upon the alienation of an estate, to receive a new lord or superior, and
transfers to him his homage and service.
- Webster's 1828 Dictionary.

ATTORNMENT n. the transference of bailor status, tenancy, or (arch.) allegiance,
service, etc., to another;
formal acknowledgement of such transfer: lme. - Oxford English Dictionary 1999.

5). From the word advocate comes the meaning of the occupation by the same name;
one who pleads or defends by argument in a court.

ADVOCATE, v.t. [Latin advocatus, from advoco, to call for, to plead for; of ad
and voco, to call. See Vocal.] To plead in favor of; to defend by argument,
before a tribunal; to support or vindicate.
- Webster's 1828 Dictionary.
5). From the word "counsel" is derived the name and occupation of a 'counselor'
or 'lawyer'; one who is learned in the law to give advice in a court of law;

COUNSEL, v.t. [Latin. to consult; to ask, to assail.] 1. To give advice or
deliberate opinion to another for the government of his conduct; to advise. -
Webster's 1828 Dictionary.

LAWYER. A counselor; one learned in the law. - A Law Dictionary by John Bouvier
(Revised Sixth Edition, 1856).

Although modern usage tends to group all these descriptive occupational words as
the same, the fact is that they have different and distinctive meanings when
used within the context of court activities:

Solicitor - one who petitions (initiates) for another in a court

Counselor - one who advises another concerning a court matter

Lawyer - [see counselor] learned in the law to advise in a court

Barrister - one who is privileged to plead at the bar

Advocate - one who pleads within the bar for a defendant

Attorney - one who transfers or assigns, within the bar, another's rights &
property acting on behalf of the ruling crown (government)

It's very clear that an attorney is not a lawyer. The lawyer is a learned
counselor who advises. The ruling government appoints an attorney as one who
transfers a tenant's rights, allegiance, and title to the land owner
(government).

Feudal Tenancy

If you think you are a landowner in America, take a close look at the warranty
deed or fee title to your land. You will almost always find the words "tenant"
or "tenancy." The title or deed document establishing your right as a tenant,
not that of a landowner, has been prepared for transfer by a licensed BAR
Attorney, just as it was carried out within the original English feudal system
we presumed we had escaped from in 1776.

A human being is the tenant to a feudal superior. A feudal tenant is a legal
person who pays rent or services of some sort for the use and occupation of
another's land. The land has been conveyed to the tenant's use, but the actual
ownership remains with the superior. If a common person does not own what he
thought was his land (he's legally defined as a "feudal tenant," not the
superior owner), then a superior person owns the land and the feudal tenant -
person pays him to occupy the land.

This is the hidden Feudal Law in America. When a person (a.k.a. human being,
corporation, natural person,partnership, association, organization, etc.) pays
taxes to the tax assessor of the civil county or city government (also a
person), it is a payment to the superior land owner for the right to be a
tenant and to occupy the land belonging to the superior. If this were not so,
then how could a local government sell the house and land of a person for not
rendering his services (taxes)?

We used to think that there was no possible way feudal law could be exercised in
America, but the facts have proven otherwise. It's no wonder they hid the
definition of a human being behind the definition of a man. The next time you
enter into an agreement or contract with another person (legal entity), look
for the keywords person, individual, and natural person describing who you are.

Are you the entity the other person claims you are? When you "appear" before
their jurisdiction and courts, you have agreed that you are a legal person
unless you show them otherwise. You will have to deny that you are the person
and state who you really are. Is the flesh and blood standing there in that
courtroom a person by their legal definition?

British Accredited Registry (BAR)?

During the middle 1600's, the Crown of England established a formal registry in
London where barristers were ordered by the Crown to be accredited. The
establishment of this first International Bar Association allowed
barrister-lawyers from all nations to be formally recognized and accredited by
the only recognized accreditation society. From this, the acronym BAR was
established denoting (informally) the British Accredited Registry, whose
members became a powerful and integral force within the International Bar
Association (IBA). Although this has been denied repeatedly as to its
existence, the acronym BAR stood for the British barrister-lawyers who were
members of the larger IBA.

When America was still a chartered group of British colonies under patent -
established in what was formally named the British Crown territory of New
England - the first British Accredited Registry (BAR) was established in Boston
during 1761 to attempt to allow only accredited barrister-lawyers access to the
British courts of New England. This was the first attempt to control who could
represent defendants in the court at or within the bar in America.

Today, each corporate STATE in America has it's own BAR Association, i.e. The
Florida Bar or the California Bar, that licenses government officer attorneys,
NOT lawyers. In reality, the U.S. courts only allow their officer attorneys to
freely enter within the bar while prohibiting those learned of the law -
lawyers - to do so. They prevent advocates, lawyers, counselors, barristers and
solicitors from entering through the outer bar. Only licensed BAR Attorneys are
permitted to freely enter within the bar separating the people from the bench
because all BAR Attorneys are officers of the court itself. Does that tell you
anything?

Here's where the whole word game gets really tricky. In each State, every
licensed BAR Attorney calls himself an Attorney at Law. Look at the definitions
above and see for yourself that an Attorney at Law is nothing more than an
attorney - one who transfers allegiance and property to the ruling land owner.

Another name game they use is "of counsel," which means absolutely nothing more
than an offer of advice. Surely, the mechanic down the street can do that!
Advice is one thing; lawful representation is another.

A BAR licensed Attorney is not an advocate, so how can he do anything other than
what his real purpose is? He can't plead on your behalf because that would be a
conflict of interest. He can't represent the crown (ruling government) as an
official officer at the same time he is allegedly representing a defendant. His
sworn duty as a BAR Attorney is to transfer your ownership, rights, titles, and
allegiance to the land owner. When you hire a BAR Attorney to represent you in
their courts, you have hired an officer of that court whose sole purpose and
occupation is to transfer what you have to the creator and authority of that
court. A more appropriate phrase would be legal plunder.

The official duties of an Esquire

Let's not forget that all U.S. BAR Attorneys have entitled themselves, as a
direct result of their official BAR license and oaths, with the British title
of "esquire." This word is a derivative of the British word "squire."

SQUIRE, n. [a popular contraction of esquire] 1. In Great Britain, the title of
a gentleman next in rank to a knight. 2. In Great Britain, an attendant on a
noble warrior. 3. An attendant at court. 4. In the United States, the title of
magistrates and lawyers. In New-England, it is particularly given to justices
of the peace and judges. - Webster's 1828 Dictionary.

ESQUIRE n. Earlier as squire n.1 lme. [Origin French. esquier (mod. écuyer) f.
Latin scutarius shield - bearer, f. scutum shield: see - ary 1.] 1. Orig. (now
Hist.), a young nobleman who, in training for knighthood, acted as
shield-bearer and attendant to a knight. Later, a man belonging to the higher
order of English gentry, ranking next below a knight. lme. b Hist. Any of
various officers in the service of a king or nobleman. c A landed proprietor, a
country squire. arch. - Oxford English Dictionary 1999.

During the English feudal laws of land ownership and tenancy, a squire - esquire
- was established as the land proprietor charged with the duty of carrying out,
among various other duties, the act of attornment [see definition above] for
the land owner and nobleman he served. Could this be any simpler for the
average American to understand? If our current U.S. BAR Attorneys were just
lawyers, solicitors, barristers, advocates or counselors, then they would call
themselves the same. They have named themselves just exactly what they are, yet
we blindly cannot see the writing on the wall.

The BAR Attorneys have not hidden this from anyone. That's why they deliberately
call themselves "Esquires" and "Attorneys at law." It is the American people who
have hidden their own heads in the sand.

Knowing these simple truths, why would anyone consider the services of BAR
Attorney-Esquire as his representative within the ruling courts of America?
Their purposes, position, occupation, job, and duty is to transfer your
allegiance, property, and rights to the landowner, a.k.a. STATE. They are sworn
oath officers of the State whose sole authority is to transfer your property to
their landowner-employer. Think about this the next time you enter their
courtrooms. From now on, all Americans should refuse to enter past the outer
bar when they are called. Who would voluntarily want to relinquish all he has
by passing into their legal trap that exists inside that outer bar?

We must all refuse to recognize their royal position as Squires and refuse to
hire them as our representatives and agents. They can't plead or argue for you
anyway; all they can do is oversee the act of attornment on behalf of the
ruling government whom they serve as official officers. Nothing stops your
neighbor from being a barrister or lawyer. No real law prohibits any of us from
being lawyers! Even Abraham Lincoln was a well-recognized lawyer, yet he had no
formal law degree. Let the BAR Attorneys continue in their jobs as property
transfer agent-officers for the State, but if no defendant hires them, they'll
have to get new jobs or they'll starve. Fire your BAR Attorney and represent
yourself as your own lawyer, or hire any non-BAR-licensed lawyer to assist you
from outside the courtroom bar.

Refuse to acknowledge all judges who are also licensed BAR Attorneys. Every
judge in Florida State is a member of the Florida BAR. This is unlawful and
unconstitutional as a judge cannot be an Esquire nor can he represent any issue
in commerce, such as that of the State. Every Florida State judge has
compromised his purported neutral and impartial judicial position by being a
State Officer through his BAR licensure. This is an unlawful monopoly of power
and commerce.

The Unauthorized Practice of Law

Fire your BAR Attorney. Refuse to acknowledge their corrupt inner-bar courts of
thievery. Formally charge them with the illegal act of practicing law without
lawful authority. Why? A BAR Attorney is not a lawyer by lawful definition. An
Esquire is an officer of the State with the duty to carry out State activities,
including "attornment."

State officers have no constitutional authority to practice law as lawyers,
barristers, advocates, or solicitors.

Americans should begin formally charging these false lawyers with unlawfully
practicing the profession of law since their BAR licenses only give them the
privilege to be Attorneys and Squires over land transfers.
