27 ~ Sailing Your Vessel Into
Port
The
International Law of the Flag
Imagine
that you are the captain of a ship at sea; you must fly a flag
to identify your country of origin; the STATE is under a FOREIGN FLAG
and they want to capture you although you cannot let them.
The
Law of the Flag, an International Law, which is recognized by
every nation of the planet, is defined as:
"
.. a rule to the effect that a vessel is a part of the
territory of the nation whose flag she flies. The term is used to
designate the RIGHTS under which a ship owner, who sends his vessel
into a foreign port, gives notice by his flag to all who enter
into contracts with the ship master that he intends the Law of
that Flag to regulate those contracts, and that they must either
submit to its operation or not contract with him or his agent at
all." Ref.: Ruhstrat v. People, 57 N.E. 41
Remember
Title 18 U.S.C. Ch.1, sec. 9 Vessel of the United States defined?
Well,
look at the courtroom in this context, as a vessel. The
courthouse is in fact a foreign port, and the courtrooms are, by
the “doctrine of the four cornering” dry docked Vessels
of the United States where, if you board the master’s ship
(cross the bar/rail) without correcting for the name, declaring your
sovereignty, and your country of origin by your flag you are captured
by his crew and you are under his command by “tacit
admission”.
Tacit
-- Existing, inferred, or understood without being openly expressed
or stated; implied by silence or silent acquiescence, as a tacit

circumstance, in the absence of express matter. (Black's Law
Dictionary 6th Ed.)
Tacit
admissions -- An acknowledgment or concession of a fact inferred
from either silence or from the substance of what one has said.
Maxim
