I.   Introductory Provisions

Honor is an ancient and fundamental term associated with the very beginning of the definition of valid property and rights and their transfer or conveyance, describing firstly the respect and customary courtesy shown by others towards a valid Office possessing certain Rights; and secondly a quality that must be present in the character of one who holds an Office; and thirdly the process of accepting conditionally or unconditionally the obligations associated with trade, notices, bills and exchange.

The word Honor originates from two (2) very ancient 2nd Millenium BCE Gaelic words Onóir and Onáire:

(i)The word Onóir originally meant “always, ever shining, brilliant, golden, worth of worship” and is derived from two (2) Gaelic root words on meaning “always, ever” and óir meaning “golden, made of gold”; and

(ii)The word Onáire originally meant “always, ever respectful mind, or attentive mind” from on meaning “always, ever” and áire meaning “respectful mind, attention”. In the 5th Century, the Romans combined both concepts into one (1) word Honor in Latin meaning “esteem, respect; position worthy of respect”.

In respect to the meaning of Honor and customary courtesy shown by others towards a valid Office possessing certain Rights, Honor only exists when:

(i) A valid Office exists before any claimed valid Rights be attributed to it; and

(ii) A valid Trustee under Oath or Vow exists for a valid Office to exist; and

(iii) Such Rights, or Title or Privileges then attributed to such Office must be consistent with the Rule of Law and these Canons.

When no valid Trustee exists, no Honor exists. When no valid Office exists, no Rights or Titles or Privileges can be validly attributed to it and no Honor exists.

A person that is not a valid Trustee and does not hold a valid Office, yet claims the right of Honor is culpable of a grave profanity and sacrilege against Divine Law and has absolutely no validity or authority or rights, nor do any actions done by such an impostor have any weight under true Rule of Law.

A person who refuses to renew and be bound by a solemn Oath to Good Faith, Good Character and Good Conscience in a matter, or refuses to produce a valid Oath of Office, has no Honor and is an impostor before any Rule of Law. If such a person is not arrested or removed, then this is proof of the absence of any Rule of Law or Justice.

In respect to the meaning of Honor as a quality that must be present in the character of one who holds an Office, the conduct of Good Faith, Good Character and Good Conscience towards others in honoring true Rule of Law, Justice and Due Process overrides any other claim to Honor.

A person who refuses to act in of Good Faith, Good Character and Good Conscience has no Honor.

In respect to the meaning of Honor as the unconditional or conditional acceptance of any obligations associated with trade, notices, bills and exchange:

(i) The non-acceptance of any such obligations is considered Dishonor and may then preclude the Party from further negotiation or participation in respect of the Instrument and associated matter; and

(ii) It is a fundamental right of all forms of valid trade, business and exchange that a Party choose to either conditionally accept, or unconditionally accept obligations asserted to them; and

(iii) Providing the conditions of any conditional Honor are reasonable, the liability and obligations remain with the maker, accuser, deliverer, consignor or prosecutor until such conditions are met, even if the object, concept, property or right is now held by the other Party; and

(iv) The Default or Delinquency of a maker, accuser, deliverer, consignor or prosecutor of some trade, notice, bill or exchange to meet reasonable conditions of Honorable acceptance means not only they are liable for the performance, or payment of such obligations for being in Dishonor and in Default and Delinquent but may also be liable for any reasonable penalties for such injury; and

(v) The effect of a Default or Delinquency of a maker, accuser, deliverer, consignor or prosecutor of some trade, notice, bill or exchange to meet reasonable conditions of Honorable acceptance is the effective discharge of any and all liabilities associated with the transaction, or trade, or notice, or bill or exchange.

A person who unconditionally or conditionally accepts in Honor cannot be declared Delinquent or in Default without such a declaration being an admission of incompetence and absurdity and the absence of any effective Rule of Law, or Justice or Due Process.
