This video was recorded few decades ago at the Granada foum. The speacker, Josh Albert, explains the ten rules of commerce, emphasizing that understanding and applying these rules can help individuals navigate the commercial system and maintain control over their creations and energy.

Commerce has been ruling human interactions for millennias with the same Pagan game that's been going on from smear through Babylon. Ever feel like you're playing a game where the rules are hidden? What if there were a set of fundamental principles governing commerce, principles that could empower you to understand and navigate the system more effectively? This article delves into a fascinating presentation outlining ten rules of commerce, offering a unique perspective on how the world of exchange truly operates. Get ready to challenge your assumptions and unlock a new level of understanding, let's start.

Seeing Beyond the IllusionSeeing Beyond the Illusion

We've all been taught certain "truths" about how the world works, but what if some of those truths are incomplete or even misleading? Just like the Wright brothers challenged the notion of "no heavier-than-air flight," we can question the conventional wisdom surrounding commerce. This article explores a set of ten rules, derived from observation and historical examples, designed to help you understand the underlying mechanics of exchange and your place within it.

Defining Commerce: More Than Just MoneyDefining Commerce: More Than Just Money

Before diving into the rules, it's crucial to define what we mean by "commerce." The presentation offers a basic yet comprehensive definition: any exchange of goods and services, with or without money being involved. This broad definition highlights that commerce is about more than just financial transactions; it's about the fundamental act of exchanging value.

Learning from the Greats: Observation as a KeyLearning from the Greats: Observation as a Key

Throughout history, brilliant minds have challenged conventional wisdom through observation. The presentation highlights figures like:

  • Pythagoras: Deduced the Earth's spherical shape and approximate diameter through geometry.
  • Johannes Kepler: Correctly predicted planetary paths and a heliocentric solar system despite prevailing beliefs.
  • Nikola Tesla: Recognized the inefficiencies and dangers of direct current, paving the way for alternating current.
  • Viktor Schauberger: Figured out anti-gravity through observing fish swimming up waterfalls.

These examples underscore the power of observation in uncovering fundamental truths, a principle we can apply to understanding commerce.

The 10 Rules of Commerce: A Deep DiveThe 10 Rules of Commerce: A Deep Dive

Here's a breakdown of the ten rules, along with key insights from the presentation:

1. You Can Only Control That Which You Create1. You Can Only Control That Which You Create

This fundamental rule emphasizes the importance of creation in commerce. Whether it's growing food, building a motorcycle, or even crafting a signature, creation gives you a degree of control and ownership. The presentation uses the example of custom-built motorcycles versus those purchased from a dealership to illustrate this point. If you create something, you set the rules. If you didn't, you have to follow the creator's rules.

2. You Cannot Control That Which You Did Not Create2. You Cannot Control That Which You Did Not Create

This rule is the flip side of the first. It highlights the limitations of control when you haven't been involved in the creation process. The presentation uses the Amistad case as an example, where slaves who hadn't voluntarily agreed to their enslavement were deemed to have the right to revolt. Similarly, trying to control something you didn't create, like a slave plantation, is not okay.

3. All of Commerce Is Based on Title3. All of Commerce Is Based on Title

This rule underscores the importance of ownership and the documentation that proves it. The presentation discusses various forms of title, including Manufacturer's Statements of Origin (MSOs), deeds, and mortgages. It also touches on the concept of surveys in real estate and how title insurance ensures someone's interest in a survey, not necessarily the land itself.

4. The Only True Title to Anything Is the MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin)4. The Only True Title to Anything Is the MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin)

The MSO is presented as the ultimate proof of creation and ownership. The presentation uses the example of a birth certificate, arguing that it's not the MSO but rather the declaration of creation that holds the true power. The mother's signature on the application for a birth certificate, especially when using her maiden name, signifies the state's assumption of responsibility for the child.

5. When You Register Anything Anywhere, You Give Up Title5. When You Register Anything Anywhere, You Give Up Title

This rule highlights the consequences of registration. By registering something, you relinquish control to the registering entity. Examples include registering a vehicle, voting, or enrolling in a class. The presentation suggests that these acts, while seemingly innocuous, involve a transfer of ownership.

6. There Is No Money6. There Is No Money

This provocative rule challenges our conventional understanding of currency. The presentation argues that "money" is merely debt, a promise to pay. True value lies in your private credit, your energy, and your signature. Alan Greenspan's admission that Federal Reserve notes aren't backed by anything but the "full faith and credit of the people" is cited as evidence.

7. There Is No Involuntary Servitude7. There Is No Involuntary Servitude

Despite appearances, the presentation argues that all servitude is ultimately voluntary. Even historical examples of slavery involved some form of agreement, however coerced. The Amistad case is again referenced, emphasizing the importance of voluntary agreement.

8. First in Line, First in Time8. First in Line, First in Time

This rule emphasizes the importance of establishing priority. The presentation uses the example of patents to illustrate this point. It also explores the magic of Disney's "Lilo and Stitch," where a UCC-1 form serves as proof of ownership, establishing first-in-line, first-in-time priority. The presenter's personal anecdotes about protecting his children from CPS interference by asserting his rights as the creator and head of household are also cited.

9. Do Not Interfere With Commerce9. Do Not Interfere With Commerce

This rule, perhaps the most challenging, cautions against interfering with existing commercial systems, no matter how distasteful they may seem. Even if you disagree with a particular form of commerce, interfering with it can have serious consequences. The presentation uses the example of unions, arguing that their intervention in contracts constitutes interference.

10. Never Allow Anything to Come Between You and Your Creator10. Never Allow Anything to Come Between You and Your Creator

This rule, deemed the most important, emphasizes the importance of maintaining a direct connection with your source. Paganism, in all its forms, is seen as anything that tries to interpose itself between you and your creator.

The Mark of the Beast: Three Contracts With ManThe Mark of the Beast: Three Contracts With Man

The presentation concludes with a discussion of the "mark of the beast," interpreting it as three contracts with man. This interpretation draws on Revelations 13:18 and 14:9-11, suggesting that the "mark" is not a physical symbol but rather a series of agreements that bind individuals to a system of control. Examples include the driver's license and the act of signing a contract.

Conclusion: Navigating the Commercial LandscapeConclusion: Navigating the Commercial Landscape

The ten rules of commerce offer a thought-provoking framework for understanding the dynamics of exchange. By recognizing the importance of creation, title, registration, and private credit, you can begin to navigate the commercial landscape with greater awareness and control. While the presentation acknowledges the challenges of applying these rules in practice, it encourages listeners to question conventional wisdom and seek a deeper understanding of the system in which we all participate.
