regard to titles, genealogy and knighthood. Only what is real and authentic is acceptable.<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#444444" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> Truth is, in fact, the greatest treasure in existence. Without it we are enslaved or held down by darkness and error. Hence, it is our mission to pull back the curtain and reveal truth as<IMG SRC="4ba0762d0.jpg" border=0 width="374" height="301" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> something of immense value and worth --- greater than anything else. The old saying of the Lord that “<B>the truth shall make you free,</B>” reinforces what a treasure the truth really is. The truth makes us free from mistakes, absurdities and deception. This is to be free from some of the greatest tragedies and losses of life.</div> <bR> <div> To stand up for the truth often means others will criticize and belittle. This must be endured, however, because it really doesn't matter what is popular or politically correct. What matters is what is authentic and true. Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “<B>In choices of fashion go with the current, but in principle be as immoveable as granite</B>” --- like the mountains. We may be controversial at times --- we may ruffle some feathers, if we must, but that is the only choice we can make to be true to our trust. We cannot compromise.</div> <bR> <div> It may be dangerous to the reputation to say the world is “<B>round,</B>” if the prevailing belief is that it is “<B>flat,</B>” but those who say the world is “<B>flat</B>” will be proven wrong in the end. Opinions, even popular ones, are not facts, and sooner or later, they must give way to what is real. In other words, every foundation is exposed for what it really is eventually --- in the long run. But those<IMG SRC="4d3f51bf0.jpg" border=0 width="337" height="447" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> who stand up for truth give everyone a great gift that will be appreciated in the end. In other words, we would rather be right than popular.</div> <bR> <div> Therefore, the standard is high and must necessarily be so to maintain quality. We are an evidence based society. Our moto is, "<B>based on solid evidence.</B>" If the only "<B>proof</B>" we have is circumstantial, a determination cannot be sustained, no matter how strongly the evidence may suggest something. Circumstantial evidence must be of a conclusive character, pointing directly and unerringly in support of a claim or be beyond a reasonable doubt; mere suspicion, conjecture, probabilities, or suppositions are insufficient for <B>Full Recognition</B>. There must not be another reasonable explanation for the facts.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Provisional Certification</B>, which is a lesser level,<B> </B>cannot rest merely on what has the greater weight of the evidence. This level of assurance requires<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT>much more than a preponderance of the evidence or above a 50% level of assurance. The proof must be found to be credible, convincing and highly compelling. The facts and the testimony must be precise and explicit, and there must be no confusion on the matter.</div> <bR> <div> These requirements are to ensure that judgments are sound and decisions are solidly based on a foundation that can support it and maintain it, and are necessary in the kind of world we live in.   </div> <bR> <div> This is a very mixed up world of falsehoods, the mocking of sacred things and propaganda. Science, history and philosophy<IMG SRC="4db9a1be0.jpg" border=0 width="161" height="446" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> are sadly mutated and disfigured to promote political agendas or schemes that ultimately hurt mankind and many of the people who do this wear the habliments of respectability or are considered pillars of society. Corruption is rampant in every field of endeavor. In this confusion, scholars and many individuals in the area of nobility and royalty are also lead astray and in a spirit of meanness call other's opinions "<B>balderdash</B>" and even attack each other. The result is division and discord. The problem is that no one is recognized as "<B>the authority</B>" in order to settle differences and create unity and a oneness. This sad state of affairs, however, is nothing compared to the evil that charlatans and scoundrels perpetrate upon the innocent and unsuspecting. But those in the field of royalty, nobility and chivalry could be united by something that doesn't change, something that is immovable and firm like granite rock, which reflects the wisdom of all the ages of man. </div> <bR> <div> International law does not rest on "<B>a solid, sure and effective basis.</B>" (F. N. Keen, "<B>What's Wrong with International Law?,</B>" The Modern Law Review, vol. 5, no. 2, November 1941, p. 153) It has some "<B>serious . . . weaknesses and defects,</B>" and there is little "<B>precision</B>" in the use of its rules. (Ibid., p. 154) But international law focuses primarily on "<B>de jure external</B>" and "<B>defacto external sovereignty</B>" instead of "<B>de jure internal sovereignty</B>" --- the lawful rights of deposed monarchs and legitimate governments in exile. This area, sometimes called dynastic law, is black and white. There is little that is gray or obscure upon which to disagree if you fully accept and abide by the international law principle of "<B>prescription.</B>" "<B>Prescription</B>" which does apply to deposed sovereigns is solid and immovable in its traditional form as used in sovereignty issues. It is considered to be completely fair and just. It recognizes that a deposed monarch and his successor can hold their royal rights to perpituity, permanently or forever if these rights are maintained. You can built something magnificent and beautiful on it, because it will support the weight and not fracture or fall apart. The foundation is rock solid like granite. (See "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id70.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Dynastic Law"><U><B>Dynastic Law</B></U></A></FONT>" and "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id55.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SOVEREIGNTY: Questions and Answers"><U><B>Sovereignty: Questions and Answers</B></U></A></FONT>" questions 4-9)</div> <bR> <div> The point is, everything of any real importance in the field of nobility, royalty and chivalry, or a true fons honorum, revolves around sovereignty. All the components and ingredients of it have been around since ancient times. The principles of justice will never change or be altered as it is traditionally constituted. It is dependable and reliable --- you can bank on it being inviolate and clear no matter what governments do in modern times. </div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#444444" FACE="Arial" >Thus t</FONT>he real key or core issue centers around the simple principles of dynastic sovereignty --- the most basic and fundamental principles of all international law. The principles of justice are so important that if you throw out traditional international law in regard to this monumental and towering subject, then no “<B>de jure</B>” royalty or nobility even exists<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#444444" FACE="Arial" ><IMG SRC="4ba430880.jpg" border=0 width="304" height="136" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></FONT> except in the imagination. Everyone is a commoner. With no "<B>de jure</B>" sovereignty, no one could rightfully or lawfully hold any titles, or award the honors of knighthood, who is <U>not</U> presently reigning over a country. For all "<B>de jure</B>" rights and royal privileges hang on this one thing. It is the chief cornerstone or legal basis for all nonreigning nobility or royalty. Pull this foundation out and there is no foundation to support anything of value or validity. Legitimacy is deeply rooted in the law of nations, which is the law of ages. (See "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="history__sovereignty_and_the_royal_prerogative__the_future_of___de_jure__non_rei.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SOVEREIGNTY THE FUTURE OF NOBILITY AND "><U><B>Sovereignty & The Future of Nobility and Royalty</B></U></A><B>,</B></FONT>" "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id70.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Dynastic Law"><U><B>Dynastic Law</B></U></A></FONT>" and "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id91.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sovereignty in the Holy Roman Empire"><U><B>Sovereignty in the Holy Roman Empire</B></U></A></FONT>") </div> <bR> <div> If a claim is authentic and genuine or in harmony with the law of sovereignty or royal rights, then we must proclaim it as such and will honor those deserving of this high regard. The problem is that there are too many fantasy claims built on nothing more than wishful thinking. Then there are the charlatans, the impersonators and scammers.
