From Chains to Contracts

[00:00:09]The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 received royal assent on the 28th of August 1833 and abolished slavery throughout the British Empire.

[00:00:17]With full emancipation completed by the 1st of August 1838.

[00:00:22]For more than 200 years, we have been told that slavery was abolished.

[00:00:27]We picture chains.

[00:00:29]We picture ships.

[00:00:32]We picture men, women, and children bought and sold as property.

[00:00:36]We are told that this dark chapter belongs to history. But what if the story is not that simple? What if slavery did not disappear? What if it merely changed its appearance? What if the methods changed, but the principles remained the same?

[00:00:49]In this video, we will compare two worlds separated by two centuries.

[00:00:54]On one side, the slavery of the past. On the other, slavery within our modern-day state, which many people unwittingly participate in every day.

[00:01:03]Without ever questioning it, and which is enforced by statutory authorities and the state court system.

[00:01:09]You can examine the evidence for yourself.

[00:01:11]Compare the characteristics of historical slavery with the design structures, official information obtained through data subject access requests from the Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service and Police Scotland.

[00:01:23]The documents speak for themselves.

[00:01:25]The question is simple. Are we the people as free as we have been led to believe?

[00:01:30]The following video clip is taken from the story Roots, set approximately 200 years ago.

[00:01:35]It covers the story of the African Kunta Kinte. This is how the living man becomes a slave.

[00:01:47]>> [screaming and groaning] >> James.

[00:01:50]Your name is Toby.

[00:01:52]I want to hear say it.

[00:01:55]Your name is Toby.

[00:01:59]You're going to learn to say your name.

[00:02:01]Let me hear you say it.

[00:02:04]What's your name?

[00:02:07]>> Kunta.

[00:02:08]Kunta Kinte.

[00:02:12]>> Can you confirm who you are for the court, please?

[00:02:16]>> Yes, I am a living man and my name is Toby Smith.

[00:02:20]>> Sorry, I will stop you there. I need you to confirm that you are Mr. Toby Smith.

[00:02:29]>> [gasps] >> When the master gives you something, you take it.

[00:02:33]He gave you a name.

[00:02:35]It's a nice name.

[00:02:37]It's Toby.

[00:02:39]And it's going to be yours till the day you die.

[00:02:43]Now, I know you understand me.

[00:02:46]And I want to hear it.

[00:02:51]AGAIN.

[00:02:54]>> [screaming] [gasps] >> I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY YOUR NAME.

[00:03:05]Your name is Toby.

[00:03:07]>> [sighs] >> What's your name?

[00:03:10]>> [gasps] >> Kunta.

[00:03:13]No, I have just explained that I am a living man and that my name is Toby Smith.

[00:03:19]>> Listen, I only need you to confirm that you are Mr. Toby Smith. If you refuse to confirm that you are Mr. Toby Smith, I will issue a warrant for your arrest.

[00:03:34]>> Lord God, help that boy.

[00:03:38]They're going to whip him dead.

[00:03:42]>> What are you issuing a warrant for?

[00:03:45]>> For failure to appear in court. For the last time, are you Mr. Toby Smith?

[00:03:50]>> What's your name?

[00:03:53]Say it.

[00:03:55]Toby.

[00:03:58]Who are you?

[00:03:59]Say your name.

[00:04:08]>> [crying] >> What's your name?

[00:04:19]>> Toby.

[00:04:28]I >> Say it again.

[00:04:31]Say it louder so they all can hear you.

[00:04:33]What's your name?

[00:04:44]>> Toby.

[00:04:46]>> [panting] >> My name >> [sighs] >> is Toby.

[00:04:51]>> I That's a good [ __ ] Cut him down.

[00:05:05]>> No, I am a living man, Toby Smith, and I am here to deal with the matter before you.

[00:05:11]>> You failed to confirm that you are Mr. Toby Smith. I am therefore issuing a warrant for your arrest.

[00:05:18]>> The sheriff got up and left the court.

[00:05:22]As Kunta Kinte accepted the name Toby, he became a slave and the property of the slave master. The master's rules became law and if they were not complied with, he could be punished.

[00:05:32]In attempting to compel Toby Smith to assume the capacity of the legal person, Mr. Toby Smith, >> [snorts] >> the sheriff sought to hold the living, flesh and blood man liable for the bondage of that legal fiction which was, in essence, his corporate slave.

[00:05:46]The sheriff proceeded with the case despite failing to resolve the threshold issue of jurisdiction.

[00:05:51]This failure to establish jurisdiction invalidates the proceedings, meaning all issued orders must be overturned.

[00:05:58]The warrant was challenged on these exact grounds. The argument was simple.

[00:06:02]If the sheriff could not acknowledge the living man speaking directly to him, he was either mentally incompetent and should be removed, or he was knowingly complicit in slavery, human trafficking, and money laundering.

[00:06:13]Ultimately, the warrant was recalled.

[00:06:22]The comparison you have just seen raises important questions, but questions alone are not enough. Claims require evidence.

[00:06:30]For that reason, formal DSARs were submitted, one to the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service on 6th September 2024, received 10th October 2024, and one to Police Scotland the 23rd of December 2024, received on the 29th of May 2026 in relation to a prosecution raised within a statutory court.

[00:06:50]Their official responses provide a rare glimpse into how these institutions record, identify, and process individuals within their systems.

[00:06:58]Please draw your own conclusions.

[00:07:01]The most effective system of control is the one that people do not recognize as control.

[00:07:07]The following acknowledgements were obtained directly from a DSAR to public authorities.

[00:07:12]Before issuing a reply to any DSAR, the authorities concerned, in this case the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service and Police Scotland, are required to obtain proof of identification from the individual requesting the information.

[00:07:26]This proof may only be in the required form and has to be legally acceptable.

[00:07:31]The proof provided was a common law court diplomatic passport, a Cru and Community Membership Card, and a copy of a utility bill.

[00:07:40]All documents were accepted and the requests were processed.

[00:07:44]The Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service complied with the DSAR request and provided the reply within the legal time scale of 30 days.

[00:07:52]However, despite a legal requirement for Police Scotland to provide this data within 30 days, they replied after 524 days.

[00:08:01]Police Scotland failed to comply with legal requirements.

[00:08:05]Had the proof of identification not been legally acceptable, the request for data would have been refused.

[00:08:11]Both requests were processed, confirming that the information supplied was legally acceptable.

[00:08:17]The Common Law Court diplomatic passport confirmed the individual concerned was a living man and a CLC diplomat. He stood solely under the authority and jurisdiction of the International Common Law Court. He was exempt from statutory legislation, and he had a lawful birth date, which was different from the statutory one.

[00:08:35]The state authorities chose not to rebut this truth.

[00:08:39]The Crowan Community membership card confirmed the individual was a living man and member of the Crowan Community, a private members community solely for living men and living women.

[00:08:48]He stood solely under the authority and jurisdiction of the International Common Law Court. He has a lawful birth date, which was different from the state.

[00:08:55]And the Common Law Court justice system is free from statutory authorities.

[00:09:00]The state authorities chose not to rebut this truth.

[00:09:04]The state's response may confirm that the individual is a living man and a CLC diplomat, and as such, the statutory courts have no authority or jurisdiction over him.

[00:09:13]Referred to in their statutory records and court documents is a legal person with a statutory date of birth, and is a living man with a lawful date of birth, which is different by approximately 9 months.

[00:09:25]They do not have the correct individual.

[00:09:28]The state court system can only deal with legal persons and statutory jurisdiction.

[00:09:32]The Common Law Court can only deal with living men, living women, and common law.

[00:09:38]The two separate jurisdictions run in parallel.

[00:09:48]At the outset of these proceedings, the defendant raised critical preliminary issues of distinct legal merit.

[00:09:53]The sheriff, however, bypassed them entirely, most notably by refusing to establish jurisdiction, a fundamental threshold requirement without which the case cannot legally proceed.

[00:10:04]A profound jurisdictional gap exists within the current legal framework.

[00:10:09]The state court system operates under statutory jurisdiction, possessing authority strictly over legal persons.

[00:10:15]The common law court operates under common law, dealing exclusively with living men and women.

[00:10:21]These two distinct jurisdictions run in parallel. By failing to bridge this gap, yet continuing with the prosecution anyway, the sheriff acted unlawfully.

[00:10:30]Furthermore, the court failed to properly identify the defendant, choosing instead to prosecute a living individual as a corporate legal person, ignoring the fact that the actual individual possessed a completely different date of birth.

[00:10:48]The sheriff further erred by ignoring a formally raised devolution issue defense.

[00:10:53]Under an Act of Parliament, the court is legally mandated to address such issues, particularly regarding the structural absence of the separation of powers caused by the dual role of the Lord Advocate.

[00:11:03]By ignoring this, along with substantive preliminary defenses involving criminal coercion, modern slavery, money laundering, fraud, and the standing of the common law court and crew and community documentation, the sheriff committed a grave procedural injustice.

[00:11:17]These issues were not ignored because they lacked relevance. They were ignored precisely because acknowledging their validity would have legally prevented the prosecution from moving forward.

[00:11:34]In delivering a verdict of guilty against living man, the sheriff attempted to forcibly attach a slave name, a legal fiction, to a flesh-and-blood human being.

[00:11:42]This act mirrors the historical subjugation depicted in the story of Roots, where the living man, Kunta Kinte, was brutally coerced into accepting the slave name Toby.

[00:11:52]Under that historic system of bondage, the living man was forced to become the property of a single master, bound by arbitrary rules against his will.

[00:12:00]The slave owner held absolute dominion, monopolizing the profits of the man's labor, while punishing him for non-compliance against all reason and sense.

[00:12:08]Applying this parallel to the modern courtroom, the sheriff functions as the state's gang master.

[00:12:14]By forcing the living man to answer to the state-owned legal fiction, Mr. Toby Smith, the individual is reduced to a vassal.

[00:12:21]Under this modern slavery system, the state acts as the ultimate corporate slave owner.

[00:12:26]It binds the subjugated legal person to endless statutory rules, legislations, and codes solely to extract financial benefit through forced labor, fines, licenses, fees, penalties, and lifelong taxation.

[00:12:45]Historically, human bondage was overt.

[00:12:47]Slaves were bound in physical chains, claimed as the property of a single master who monopolized the fruits of their labor.

[00:12:54]It was a system of naked oppression, coercion, and subjugation.

[00:12:58]Yet, because the cruelty was visible, the human spirit rebelled, ultimately rendering overt slavery socially and politically unsustainable.

[00:13:06]Today, the mechanism of control has evolved into something far more sophisticated.

[00:13:11]Through deceptive legal frameworks, living men and women are unwittingly bound into a new form of servitude as legal persons.

[00:13:18]We are no longer owned by a single master, but by the state, a corporate entity that profits statutory authority at every turn.

[00:13:25]This modern slavery system is infinitely more dangerous, devious, and duplicitous because its chains are invisible.

[00:13:31]Conditioned by mainstream indoctrination, the vast majority of the population remains unaware of their own captivity.

[00:13:38]Yet, a collective intuition persists.

[00:13:40]Deep down, people instinctively sense that something is fundamentally broken in their world, even if they cannot quite put their finger on the cause.

[00:13:49]Perhaps the story of Kunta Kinte is not merely a historical relic, but a profound echo calling out to our subconscious.

[00:13:55]It serves as a stark reminder that we are born as living men and women, inherently free, endowed with free will, and possessing the absolute power to choose whether we give or withhold our consent.
