MEDIEVAL ORIGINS OF TRUSTS

Before the trust appeared in large, corporation-like business companies, it had a long and varied career as a device for conveying real property. In the earliest kind of trust—which was originally called a “use

The basic principle behind the trust’s popularity was that by giving property to a trustee, a landowner could avoid a set of obligations that applied to himself. The most famous example is the set of death taxes and military obligations that modern historians call the “feudal inci­dents.” The feudal incidents essentially taxed the land a man owned when he died, and they provided the primary source of revenue for the English crown during the later stages of feudalism. The trust helped a landowner avoid the feudal incidents by allowing him to manipulate the way the law applied. Since the tax only applied to land that a man owned in his own name at death, the tax did not apply if the land legally belonged to a trustee, rather than to the deceased. …The trust thus became a fixture of late-medieval England.

Prologue: The Hidden System
The morning mist clung to the rolling hills of Montana as David Ben-Avraham stood
at the edge of his property, watching the sun rise over what most Americans would
consider an unremarkable rural community. But Kehillah Chadashah was far from
ordinary. Hidden in these peaceful valleys was a group of people who had discovered
something that would shake the very foundations of the American legal and
financial system.
David, a former constitutional law professor turned farmer and spiritual leader,
held in his weathered hands a document that represented either the greatest legal
discovery in American history or the ravings of conspiracy theorists. The truth, he
had learned, was far stranger and more terrifying than any conspiracy theory.
The document was a birth certificate – not just any birth certificate, but one that
had been decoded to reveal its true legal significance. What most Americans
believed to be simple proof of their birth was actually the creation of a corporate
entity, a legal fiction that had been used to pledge their labor and future
productivity as collateral for the national debt.
“Every American," David whispered to himself, reciting the words he had
memorized from Colonel Eduard Mendell House's infamous quote, “will be required
to register their biological property in a National system designed to keep track of
the people, and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging."
The implications were staggering. If House's plan had been implemented – and the
evidence suggested it had been – then every American citizen was actually a
corporate entity owned by the federal government, their labor pledged as security
for the massive debts incurred by their supposed representatives.
But David and his community had discovered something else: a way out. Hidden in
the ancient principles of trust law was a doctrine that could collapse the entire
system of legal fiction and economic slavery. The Doctrine of Merger, properly
applied, could free every American from their bondage and restore the
constitutional republic their founders had intended.
As the sun climbed higher, David knew that today would mark the beginning of the
end of what the Bible called Babylon – the system of economic control that had
enslaved humanity for generations. The truth was about to be revealed, and the
truth, as scripture promised, would make them free.
