III.   Rights

Revenue is the periodic accounting of all rights, titles, securities, property, goods, money and other things of equivalent value collected and received by a Trust, or Estate or Company or Fund during the normal course of its activities.

The word Revenue is derived from two Latin words re meaning “form, property, transaction, business” and venea meaning “indulgence” – hence the original etymology of the term from the 15th Century is literally “the business of trading and transacting indulgences”.

All possible Revenues may be classified according to three main divisions being Unilateral, Bilateral and Involuntary:

(i) Unilateral Revenue are such items as Gifts, Grants, Assignments and Delegations where the Revenue is given voluntarily with full knowledge and disclosure without necessarily any valuable consideration in return; and

(ii) Bilateral Revenue are such items as Sales, Fees, Rent and Royalties where the Revenue is generated voluntarily through some mutual agreement and exchange of some valuable consideration; and

(iii) Involuntarily Revenue are such items as Duties, Fines, Alienations or Confiscations where the Revenue is generated without the voluntary consent of the other.

Unilateral Revenue is based on respect of the Golden Rule of Law that all are equal before the law and none are above it and that all who are members of a Society are willing to support it, without threat of force, or fear or punishment. All Unilateral Revenue may be divided into four categories being Gifts, Grants, Assignments and Delegations:

(i) Revenue Gift is when a member of a society or group chooses of their own accord to give a portion of their Revenue or Assets, without condition to the greater good of the society freely and without coercion; and

(ii) Revenue Grant is when a member of a society or group chooses to grant a portion of their Revenue or Assets to the society as a whole, but on certain conditions as specified in some document, such as a will or deed of bequest; and

(iii) Revenue Assignment is when a member of a society chooses to assign a portion of their Revenue or Assets to the benefit of the society as a whole on certain conditions of their return, or conversion to a grant; and

(iv) Revenue Delegation is when a member of a society chooses to delegate a portion of their Revenue or Assets without surrendering any Rights on the agreement that such Revenue or Assets will be returned under clear conditions.

All civilized societies that have survived and thrived have based their Revenue strategy first upon Unilateral Revenue. Any civilized society that is without the level of trust or unit to succeed with a strong level of Unilateral Revenue is doomed to fail.

Bilateral Revenue is based on respect of the Golden Rule of Law that all are equal before the law and none are above it and a level of mutual trust that the government of the society provides items of value for its members and foreign persons so that Revenue is gathered by mutual exchanges of value. All Bilateral Revenue may be divided into four categories being Sales, Fees, Rent and Royalties:

(i) Sales Revenue is when goods are manufactured and sold for a price, which may include access to transport, communication systems, utilities and a whole range of products supporting society that are not otherwise considered free to every member; and

(ii) Fees is when services are provided and delivered for fees; and

(iii) Rent is when an asset is provided to a member of a society in exchange for charging a rent for its use, rather than a sale and exchange for a price (sales); and

(iv) Royalties is when fees are generated for the licensing and use of intellectual property held in trust to the community.

A healthy community should generate more than half of its revenues from Bilateral Revenue. A sick and dying model of society is when less than a third of revenues are generated from Bilateral Revenue.

Involuntarily Revenue is when the authority, power and force of office is used against the best interests of the people whom the government of a society is there to serve, often in the form of open repudiation of any form of true Rule of Law, or Justice or Due Process through rampant cronyism, tyranny, incompetence and corruption. There are primarily four forms of Involuntary Revenue being Duties, Fines, Alienations or Confiscations:

(i) Duties are ransoms forced to be paid when goods or persons are held in custody under threat of violence or intimidation until the ransom is paid. The most common forms of Duty now are Taxes such as Income Taxes and Ad Valorum and Goods and Services Taxes. Contrary to the deliberate falsities and deceptions of the ruling classes, most forms of Duty extraction are privatized so that those who attack the population are nothing more than privateers (licensed pirates); and

(ii) Fines are penalties that are supposed to only be issued by a legislative body under authority of the people, the failure of a person to perform a duty and thereby issued in lieu of the recovery of duties and cost of recovery. However, Fines are now excessively used by corporations without any statutory authority; and

(iii) Alienations is when rights to property are removed by legislative, judicial or executive orders, with no fair right to compensation, appeal, relief or remedy. Alienations have continued to accelerate from the 1970’s across most industrialized nations; and

(iv) Confiscations is when property is stolen under orders and levies.

Whilst it may be technically argued that a society through its legislative, judicial and executive branches may recover revenues from Fines and Forfeitures, all other forms of Involuntary Revenue is an abomination against the Golden Rule of Law, all true ecclesiastical scripture and law and all forms of reason and proper sense of morality. A system of government that relies primarily upon Involuntary Revenue is nothing more than a system of tyranny that is doomed to be overthrown and fail.

The majority of Western-Roman nations today base their Revenues on Involuntary revenues and in particular upon immoral, unjust and unsustainable principles of theft, violence, intimidation, alienation, confiscation and piracy. In almost all cases, such systems of government have absolutely no legitimacy of authority, with no respect of Rule of Law, or Justice or Due Process.

The inferior Roman system of Taxes as adopted by most nations as Estates is predicated on fraud, operates on fraud with no desire on the part of inferior persons acting as executors and administrators to divulge the true method by which the payment of taxes is enforced in inferior Roman Law.

Under the modern inferior Roman legal system, almost all revenue of an Estate is now classed as taxes, which is both confusing and deliberately misleading. However, from all the variety of taxes, there exists just three (3) base forms of tax being Rent Tax, Compensation Tax and Duty Tax.

(i) Rent Tax is the deliberate fraud of misnaming rent charged to a tenant by the landlord, being the executors of the (deceased) Estate of the province or nation, for use of some property. Both Income Tax and Company Tax are forms of Rent Taxes; and

(ii) Compensation Tax is a classic form of Tax based on the right of the landlord to demand tenants pay for the estimated loss of value of property through their use. Property Tax is an example of a Compensation Tax; and

(iii) Duty Tax is a charge demanded upon the deposit, withdrawal, purchase, sale, import or export of any goods by any tenants of the Estate. It is based on the ancient argument that all chattel and immovable’s belong to the land, therefore by extension are “owned” by the landlord.

A further element used to enforce the payment of taxes is the false, secretive and misleading legislative treatment of the members of a society as aliens and enemies to the society, therefore all criminals since the 1930's in the United States and later for other nations. The forced requirement to register for a tax number is therefore the admission that one is to perform criminal acts for a given period and then a license is granted, usually for one year on the provision of self confession.

Modern Roman tax collection systems treat each financial year as a separate testamentary trust and therefore each year equivalent to a separate court case whereby a taxpayer is compelled to confess any "crimes" against their society in a return each year, or face serious criminal charges.

Whilst Roman societies force their members to admit to being taxpayers, there is no remedy in Roman law in remaining a registered taxpayer other than admitting to criminal acts under the perverted Roman laws in place within most nations.

It is the obligation of all members of a society to contribute some of their energy and wealth towards the well being of the society. However, the inferior Roman system of Tax Law is corrupt, fraudulent, inefficient, grossly unfair and unsustainable.

While all governments have a right to seek revenue and contributions from their members, the extraordinary fraud and continued deception and fraud that is required to keep the inferior Roman system of Tax operating, negates the validity of claiming the law. Instead, all systems of revenue based in inferior Roman tax law are null and void from the beginning.

No system based on Duty is valid in law, or possesses any valid ecclesiastical or moral authority.

The fact that governments who promote Involuntary Revenue techniques permit the selling of such revenue raising to corporations is an abomination and the height of treachery against their own people.

Only Fines and Forfeitures issued under these canons in accord with the Law are permitted as forms of Revenue with all other forms of Involuntary Revenue forbidden.
