Restoration.</B></div> <bR> <div> If you look on the column to the left, there is a summary of the purpose and mission of <B>The International Commission on Nobility and Royalty</B>. What follows is an account of its inception and the major reasons for its existence.  </div> <bR> <div> First of all, Constitutional Monarchy is the kind of monarchy we advocate. It is upheld and tempered by the supreme law of the land and has been shown to be one of the safest, most stable and most prosperous types of government on earth. (see "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="the_ideals_of_nobility_and_royalty.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="IDEALS"><U><B>Ideals</B></U></A></FONT>" and "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="criticisms_and_benefits_of_monarchy.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="ADVANTAGES"><U><B>Advantages</B></U></A></FONT>")</div> <bR> <div> <B>The Problem and the Purpose</B></div> <bR> <div> The International Commission on Nobility and Royalty was originally conceived to protect the field of nobility and royalty from modern day pirates who impersonate, and by their fraudulent declarations defame, those who hold authentic titles and valid claims. Certification and education are the chief means of influence the Commission will use to defend and preserve the field from the menacing forces that are presently besieging it and denigrating its members.</div> <bR> <div> Regrettably, there are literally thousands of people with phony titles of nobility, and who claim<IMG SRC="2a059c170.jpg" border=0 width="412" height="279" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> royal or noble descent, masquerading as genuine throughout the earth. And some thirty or more foul organizations are pumping out hundreds of counterfeit title holders and at least forty plus self-appointed phony orders of knighthood exist to fraudulently give out the counterfeit title of "Sir." These charlatans make everyone look bad. Unfortunately the true nobility and genuine knights are becoming suspect because people have encountered too many deceivers and pretenders, and it is difficult to discern the actual from the fake. There are also many others who claim illustrious ancestors based on nothing more than family fairy tales or vague legends passed down through the generations, or because of unscrupulous greedy men who sell unproven pedigrees to the unwary and unguarded.<IMG SRC="2b1cafee0.jpg" border=0 width="175" height="238" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> In general, internet fraud is a frightening and growing problem. The <B>Internet Crime Complaint Center</B> reports that there was an 11.6% increase in internet fraud in 2005 as compared to 2004. In 2004, $68,400,000.00 million dollars was lost due to internet fraud by various ugly scams, which was very distressing. But in 2006, the losses arose to an all time high of over $198,440,000 million dollars to $239,090,000 in 2007. This huge amount only expresses what has been complained about. Much more fraud actual occurred---probably seven to eight times as much. This kind of crime is rampant and epidemic. (<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.ic3.gov/media /annualreport/2007_IC3Report.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ic3.gov/media /annualreport/2"><U><B><U>www.ic3.gov/media</U></B></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.ic3.gov/media /annualreport/2007_IC3Report.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ic3.gov/media /annualreport/2"><U><B><U>/annualreport/2007_IC3Report.pdf</U></B></U></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >) </FONT></div> <bR> <div> It is an undeniable fact that we live in a day of increasing frauds, bogus titles and scoundrels who plunder and take advantage of the innocent and the ignorant. Hence, there really needs to be a practical and effective organization designed to help protect the public and safeguard it from the lies and deceit of the self-proclaimed title consultants, fake knighthoods<IMG SRC="186cb79c0.jpg" border=0 width="183" height="156" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> and unaccredited genealogists. One of the main purposes and functions of The International Commission on Nobility and Royalty is to certify and authenticate the reality that either one is a true descendent or has a royal and/or noble bloodline, or that one is a true member of the nobility or a recognized member of a royal family, or thirdly, that one is a true knight, baron, prince or some other genuine title of nobility or royalty. (see: "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id39.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Rejected Applications Unacceptable Clai"><U><B>Unacceptable Claims</B></U></A><A HREF="id39.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Rejected Applications Unacceptable Clai"><U><B> & Rejected Applications</B></U></A></FONT>")</div> <bR> <div> Another threat is the strict domestic legalist's point of view, that too many are espousing today, that would rob and cheat the "de jure" or non-ruling nobility and royalty of the earth of their birthright. This perspective is damaging because it disenfranchises and denigrates the traditional and genuine<IMG SRC="24e1a92d0.jpg" border=0 width="425" height="301" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> rights of the high nobility as well as the nonreigning royal and imperial houses all over the world. </div> <bR> <div> The domestic legalistic belief can be summarized into the idea that any title of nobility given by a former sovereign house in current times is for private use only and has no worth or value because no government will recognize it. Those who espouse this view generally conclude that only what was accepted in the Congress of Vienna in 1814 has any authenticity today, which is quite presumptuous and out of sync with international law or the law of nations. This sinister and unjustified or arbitrary way of looking at things, although congruent with the modern domestic laws of many countries, is not consistent with international law as it applies to the sovereign rights and the royal privileges of former ruling houses as well as reigning kingdoms, principalities and nations. It is critical that sovereignty be understood and how it is central to the future of nobility and royalty. It is a core issue impacting everything we stand for. That is, the domestic legalistic view represents a significant threat to the field of nobility and royalty and to the future. One of the reasons the Commission was created was to counter this hostile point of view, which would deprive former monarchies of their proper recognition, that is, the general acceptance of their full inalienable<B><IMG SRC="38d2f3120.png" border=0 width="243" height="274" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B> rights under international law and philosophy. (Please see the web article: "<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></FONT>" to understand this important subject.)  (See also "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id44.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="General Philosophy Practices"><U><B>General Philosophy & Practices</B></U></A></FONT>")</div> <bR> <div> The International Commission has been organized as a private, non-public organization. It was incorporated with the idea in mind of protecting the public like a professional association or licensing board would, that is, to certify and authenticate the validity and legitimacy of claims. It has not been set up to expose false nobility or make believe titles. Rather its purpose is to certify the genuine so that the public can be assured that an individual is, in fact, the real thing, and not a fake. Those so certified or accredited by the Certification Board have gone through a thorough investigative process and based on the facts gathered are registered, in an appropriate category reflecting their true nature--a status that can be verified and confirmed to be accurate. </div> <bR> <div> A third, but equally important priority, is to promote the ideals of nobility, royalty and monarchy in modern times, including its illustrious past, its future and its potential to benefit all mankind. (see "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="the_ideals_of_nobility_and_royalty.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="IDEALS"><U><B>Ideals</B></U></A></FONT>" and "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id54.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="MONARCHY AND NOBILITY: DIVINE RIGHTS RE"><U><B>Monarchy and Nobility: Divine Rights & Responsibilities</B></U></A></FONT>") This basic<IMG SRC="2e42af540.jpg" border=0 width="175" height="340" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> priority is, in addition to the above, considered most critical to our existence as a viable and worthwhile organization. One of the goals is to collect money to be used exclusively to help promote and re-establish monarchies. We have the ambition of making it eminently obvious to all people that constitutional monarchy is a choice that has brought prosperity and stability to most of the richest and most democratic nations on earth--nations that are doing an unusually good job of protecting our most precious of rights as human beings--principles such as life, liberty and the free pursuit of happiness.</div> <bR> <div> In order to be effective in combating the identified threats to nobility and royalty and in promoting the immense potential for good that monarchy can create, we invite people everywhere to become members for a mere $30.00 a year and contribute as they can to enable us to fulfill our important purposes. </div> <bR> <div> All acknowledged and known royal families are automatically recognized as royals whether they are members of this organization or not. Certification of titles and ancestry is obviously free for this group. All others who are certified for various honors must pay a yearly fee to maintain their membership and the privilege of being fully accredited on an ongoing basis. Since the whole process is designed to be inexpensive for all, it is hoped that eventually all the true nobility and royalty of the earth will be registered, and thus exclude as well as expose all fraudulent title peddlers, imposters and fakes from their masquerades and scams. Where we can instigate<IMG SRC="3b2f57810.jpg" border=0 width="343" height="385" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> laws against these charlatans we will endeavor to do so in the hope of safeguarding what we consider sacred.</div> <bR> <div> The International Commission on Nobility and Royalty has actually been operating, but mostly on an inactive basis, since the beginning of the 21st Century. However, since that time, title fraud has more than quadrupled, and it was felt that we could no longer delay our entry into the public arena. Too much that we hold near and dear is suffering damage. Therefore, we feel we must act, and act now to get the word out that we are earnest in establishing this vital protection and service to mankind. In the long run we will prove ourselves to be invaluable to the cause. We are here for the duration. We are not going away.</div> <bR> <div> However, to become fully operational, to accomplish our mission, to make a real difference in the world, we need your support. No one makes a salary in this organization. Everyone is a volunteer from the president on down. Every little amount contributed means that we can expand and enlarge our operations to measure up to the task that is before us. Your help is needed and wanted. <B>Please make the future brighter and contribute to the cause.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>A Mark of Distinction</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://i-cop.org/cgi-bin/mem/jl.pl?1389" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://i-cop.org/cgi-bin/mem/jl.pl?1389"><U><IMG SRC="40694b460.jpg" border=0 width="75" height="70" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A><IMG SRC="3c0859590.jpg" border=0 width="345" height="345" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Ethical conduct is a core value fundamental and basic to everything we stand for.
