Do we live under civil law, or international maritime admiralty law?

have you seen a gold fringe on the flag in a courtroom or classroom lately? that means you are being governed by international maritime admiralty law (which is based on Vatican Canon law), which regards humans as commodities.

if i'm misunderstanding something about this, please enlighten me...

Neither. Both. And yes, you are badly misunderstanding both the laws and the rules involved.

The gold fringe is ceremonial and decorative, and means absolutely nothing in common usage. Read the actual laws from the US Codes, not the ranting of people who don't know what they're talking about.

And international maritime law only pertains to interactions on the open seas, outside territorial waters. Read the actual laws.

And where did you get the insane idea that the flag displayed in the corner of any room has anything to do with what laws govern? By that argument, if someone put the Chinese flag in a courthouse, suddenly the court would be following Chinese law and not the local law of the state. That's so irrational it hurts to think that someone actually might believe it.

I watched just enough of both videos to see the word occult. That is not a legitimate source for LEGAL information. Report It

Yeah, you've misunderstood.

First, the "gold fringe" on flags is simply that: a gold fringe. It doesn't mean anything at all. Some US and state flags have it, some don't. Doesn't make a lick of difference. It certainly doesn't suggest which body of laws is in effect.

Second, international admiralty law is only effective on the high seas, outside of any nation's territorial waters. If you're on land, admiralty law doesn't apply, period.

Third, admiralty law isn't based on Canon law. It's based on the laws that grew up around international maritime travel, commerce, and warfare. It is also the single oldest legal tradition still in operation, dating back to the earliest days of recorded history and predating the creation of canon law by quite some time.

Fourth, canon law most certainly does *not* regard human beings as commodities.

I don't know where you're getting your data, but it would probably be worth it to check your sources.
