Another very interesting discussion by Mr. Becraft.

18 USC 9 The term “vessel of the United States”, as used in this title, means a vessel belonging in whole or in part to the United States, or any citizen thereof, or any corporation created by or under the laws of the United States, or of any State, Territory, District, or possession thereof.

We must remember that many words used in law are words and terms of art. In order to properly define the term “vessel of the United States” we have to properly define “vessel” which is not done in the statute section. In the above phrase “vessel of the United States” is defined as a “vessel” that belongs to someone or something and is created under certain types of law. As such vessels are legal created instruments. They are not God created, like spirit filled people. Though, the Scriptures often use the term vessel to identify people in an earthy state of being (earthly vessels). Much of the law and the use of words contained within it have their root in the Scriptures. The Scriptures use the term vessel quite often, hardly ever as a ship on the high seas. It has its meaning coming from the Greek word skeuov, skeuos, (skyoo'-os) which is of uncertain affinity; a vessel, implement, equipment or apparatus (literally or figuratively) (Strong’s). The term vessel can be used in law literally or figuratively. It is not to be construed only literally as a ship on the high seas. A vessel can be on or part of another vessel involved in international transactions that involve the high seas.

In the above clause, the object of the “vessel of the United States” is that which “belongs” to the United States, any citizen (14^th amendment) thereof, or any corporation. This is typical government jabberwocky of color of law and terms of art. That is why it is mandatory to understand what Lewis Carroll was writing about in Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. What gibberish! A “vessel of the United States” is a “vessel”. The meaning of the clause is that these entities “belong” to that which they “create” under said laws.

To me the Individual Master File that the IRS uses to gain jurisdiction over spirit filled people, by use of a SSN, can turn someone or their actions into a vessel in that they accept the association to the artificial entity through implied consent and contracts. I believe that the special numbers created and used by agencies have the ability to create vessels via contracts which also can be vessels in part or in whole. A bill of exchange can be a vessel or part of a vessel. Legal fictions (artificial entities) are vessels that are privileged in that they are created under color of law. The 1040 form can be used as a vessel or substantiate the existence of a vessel. A corporation is a vessel through the use of an EIN, created through an SS5 and associated to the Business Master File. What is interesting to me is that most of what is decoded in IMF’s and BMF’s has to do with off-shore type transactions. Is it any wonder that Maritime and Admiralty play a part in all of this legal hocus pocus? I remember in my insurance classes that application of many domestic insurance laws and securities had much to do with Maritime law.

As S has many times explained, it comes down to status and jurisdiction. Is there something we have done with the ink pen that has changed our status and brought us into a jurisdiction that precludes us from using the original intent of the law under the original Constitution?  Are there presumptions being made by the government and their courts as to our status? It is very important to understand the difference between a 14^th amendment federal citizen and an Article IV Citizen of the state and United States.
