LAW.noun,.plural.LAWS
LAW is an acronym
for Land, Air, Water, any regulations made for them; law is a form of the
negative
golden rule and that which doesn't contravene.the
golden rule upon which all laws were originally based, until the advent
of cabal control of people, taking
them away from Natural Law,
Common
Law and into Maritime/Admiralty/Civil 'law'; law today has been downgraded
from the golden rule and corrupted
to refer to rules established by agreement of those in corporations making
them (governments, courts, etc. are all corporations), of course, to their
advantage and your disadvantage and made usually by authority of a corporation's
policies as administered
at various levels of government be they city, municipal,
state,
provincial,
federal
(a legal right authorized by or based on their corporate
rules, not on what We the People
would have, instead being rules a corporate government at any level may
make); the body of policies.(rules
and principles) used to govern and enforced by another corporate body,
the policy enforcers, also called the police (also a corporation) in their
various forms; see also common
law and there also maritime law, also
called admiralty law and civil law and on the Net at commonlawcourt.com
and see the concise informative video
by David Straight on the corrupt justice/legal systems worldwide.
"It is easy to understand
how law, instead of checking injustice, becomes the invincible weapon of
injustice. It is easy to comprehend why the law is used by the legislator
to destroy in varying degrees among therest of the people, their personal
independence by slavery, their liberty by oppression and their property
by plunder. This is done for the benefit of those who have such 'laws'
made in proportion to the power held. ..it erases from everyone's conscience
the distinction between justice and injustice. No society can exist unless
the laws are respected to a certain degree. The safest way to make laws
respected is to make them respectable. When law and morality contradict
each other, the human being has the cruel alternative of either losing
his moral sense or losing his respect for the law."....1848
The
Law by Claude Frederic Bastiat, a French economist, statesman, author
and philosopher.

legal .adjective
the word 'legal' in the Encyclopedia Britannica
9th edition, means 'the undoing of God's laws'; today 'legal' means 'according
to corporate rules'; that which is 'legal' today, after the cabal has thrown
God out, are now rules of corporations
(courts, except for common law courts,
are corporations governments make and even though they may be so-called
'legal', they also can be unlawful
when made no longer according to majority will of a populace,
such as common law based on God's
laws, but rather, that of the will of corporate shareholders; most
governments are now corporations and they tell you not who the real shareholders
of government corporations are; ask your government representative and
see if he even knows to who, how much and where corporate dividends go
to, as the men and women of nations never receive any; governments at all
levels are now corporations and rules
made by them are often unlawful
according to the golden rule used
throughout history to provide a safe equitable
society for men, women and children and not a society that is subjugated
by the will of those in such corporations who make rules that are all to
often
inimical
to the best interests and future of populaces); the word 'legal' today
also means concerned with
law.(legal
papers; legal proceedings); established by such corporate laws; statutory;
in conformity
with or permitted by corporate law (legal business operations, nb,
counterfeiting
of money is legal, but illegal
counterfeiting of money is not, translated, they can do it and shift
any percentage of interest burden onto you, but you are not allowed to
counterfeit money, showing the rules are made by them to keep control in
their hands and shut you out)
