Foreign-Controlled BAR Association Overlay

Updated Video Version to incorporate municipal bonds

The American Bar Association (ABA) and all affiliated state bars operate as private membership associations (“PMAs”) tracing structural and procedural origin to the British Inns of Court, the Temple Bar, and Crown legal authority. See A History of the American Bar and BAR Treaty of 1947, which show the BAR’s international links and its function as a Crown derivative guild.

The title “Esquire”, used by licensed attorneys, is historically a British title of nobility, which is prohibited under Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution (“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States…”). See also Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 (1906), affirming individual sovereignty against overreach by private corporations.

That’s precisely the issue—while “Esquire” may not be a hereditary title under strict nobility laws, it functions as a de facto title of privilege and foreign allegiance within a guild-based legal structure.

The BAR didn’t need to declare nobility in name—it converted jurisdiction away from organic common law into administrative commercial equity, allowing its members to operate as private officers of a foreign trust system. It’s not the title that violates the spirit of the law—it’s the capacity they assume under it, with allegiance to private associations over the people.

The real betrayal is that these officers act not under constitutional authority, but under foreign-derived commercial procedure. They often don’t know what they’re enforcing—because the system trains them to follow code, not conscience.

So yes, all men are created equal—but when you swear into a foreign-controlled legal franchise and apply color-of-law without full capacity, you deny that equality by default. To say otherwise is to blind oneself to the truth of what this legal overlay has become.
