  Common Law is a system of law created by King Henry VIII in 1548 upon the complete remodeling of the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary Branches of Rule in England whereby the private Guild (Livery) of Judges and Notaries (from which the private Bar Associations were spawned) was granted royal warrant to convert judicial assemblies into their private courts (cautio) and for the rulings and judgments of the private Guild to take precedence over ancient customs of Anglo-Saxon law and rights, except those needed to make the law still technically function.  
     
  The many myths of Common Law  
  Upon reading the definition of the true origin and purpose of Common Law above, many may immediately consider such a summary to be totally without foundation, a ridiculous summation of conspiracy and quasi-fiction fact. This is because for many readers, they were taught to believe that Common Law is much older than the 16th Century, supposedly dating back to the time of “William the Conquerer” in 1066 and even earlier.  
  For others, the concept that Judges and Notaries were already a private Guild or a “Livery” seems at odds with their knowledge of history. Similarly, many may have no knowledge that the word cautio (from which court originates) was the commercial trading court of a private guild/livery of judges and notaries as conceived by the guilds of Florence and then Venice.  
  Then there is the reference to Anglo-Saxon Law, also known as customary law which many are taught to believe is the history and origin of “Common Law” so that when we speak of Vow or Oath, we are speaking of customs of common law, not some much older form of law.  
  But how much do you really know about the real origins, purpose and design of Common Law? For example, what is the origin and real mean of “common”?  
  The word “common” comes from 15th Century Latin communis meaning "to entrust, commit to a burden, public duty, service or obligation". The word was created from the combination of two ancient pre-Vatican Latin words com/comitto = "to entrust, commit" and munis = "burden, public duty, service or obligation". In other words, the real meaning of common as first formed because of the creation of the Roman Trusts over the planet is the concept of “voluntary enslavement” or simply “lawful slavery”.  
  To some who read the real etymology of the word “common” there may still be disbelief. How could such a trick be pulled over the eyes of so many? If it were true, why has it never been revealed before? And if it were true, doesn’t the laws of most modern nations and the United Nations outlaw slavery?  
  In fact all that has been outlawed is “unlawful slavery” and “slave trade”. There is not a single international treaty, law of the United Nations or major countries enacted that states “lawful slavery” is abolished. All that has happened is that a system once enforced by fear and involuntary has become voluntary.  
  What then about the House of Commons and the allegation that it existed many years prior to 1548?  
   
  English Councils, Chambers and Parliament Prior to House of Commons  
  The first “parliament” of England was not even called a Parliament (after the Anglaise word parlement meaning “speaking, talk”) but a Royal Council first formed in 1295 by King Edward I including members of the clergy, aristocracy as well as representatives from the various counties and boroughs. Any claims it was called “parliament” or “commons” is totally false and deliberate misinformation, absurdly contradicting historic fact.  
  It was far from a formal body holding powers, but a loose council formed primarily for the principle of making tax raising “lawful” by permitting some form of objection. However, the body itself took its own initiative to consider a means of airing and resolving grievances with the monarch.  
  The first official use of the term “parliament” was used under the reign of Edward III in 1341 when he abolished the old Royal Council and replaced it with a Parliament of two Chambers and Upper Chamber and Lower Chamber, thus separating the clergy and nobles into higher and knights and burgesses into the lower. The presiding officer of the Lower Chamber was the Prolocutor. Again, any suggestion that the Lower Chamber was called the “Commons” at this point is deliberate misinformation.  
  The first time in history that the Lower Chamber was called the “House of Commons” was in 1548 when King Henry VIII granted St Stephens Chapel at the Palace of Westminister as a permanent seat for English Parliament along with renaming the Upper Chamber the House of Lords. Henry VIII also instituted the reform by formalizing the role of Speaker to replace the semi-official role of Prolocutor as head of the Lower House.  
  Thus, the creation of the House of Commons, as well as the House of Lords also corresponds with the creation of the Common Law system – a deliberate, complex model of commercializing voluntary servitude.  
     
  Common Law and Anglo-Saxon Law  
  One of the outstanding anomalies concerning Common Law is the mistaken belief that Common Law respects certain customary traditions, hence the claim of “Common Law Rights”.  
  In truth, “Common Law Rights” is deliberately misleading and actually refers to ancient Anglo-Saxon Rights and Customs that the private law form of Common Law still uses as its foundation.  
  The vow or oath of the accused, the right to non-consent, the right to a fair trial, innocence before guilt, the right to travel, the rights of tenancy, the rights of landholding are all Anglo-Saxon Customary Rights of Law which have absolutely nothing to do with Common Law, except that the private system of law known as Common Law recognized these customary rights as necessary for its function.  
  The Magna Carta is a foundation document of Anglo-Saxon law, not Common Law. Instead Common Laws are the private rulings and cases of private members of a professional trading Guild of Judges and Notaries and has absolutely nothing to do with the traditional laws of the land. Instead, it is commercial slave law, masquerading as the laws of the land and most people who perform duties within the modern bonding, bailment and security “courts” of the Bar today have no clue of the true history of their own profession, let alone the law.  
     
  The changing status of the serf  
  Under Common Law, the role of serf was abolished and replaced with the word "pauper" and overlayed with the concepts of the Freeman, Yeoman, Bondsman and Human:  
  (i) The Freeman or "Peer" was one granted privileges to inhabit and freely roam the lands of a city or borough, usually upon being awarded the privileges of being a citizen; and  
  (ii) The Yeoman was the freeman tenant of the noble granted freedom to tend to their own small estate; and  
  (iii) The Bondsman or "Peon" was an indentured servant either choosing to be indentured for a period of service and training or on account of an inability to pay debts; and  
  (iv) The Human or "Pauper" was a landless, destitute poor person requiring aid from the parish to survive.  
  While the abolishion of the Khazarian/Venetian Feudal concept of people as animals to introducing what is now wrongly called "Common Law Rights", these were and have always been privileges that may be withdrawn at any point.  
     
  The change of courts and "rights"  
  As part of the general reform of law, four new courts were established under Common Law being the Court of Kings Bench, the Court of Exchequer Pleas, Court of Chancery and the Court of Common Pleas all still under the influence of the private law guild (livery company):  
  (i) The Court of Kings (Queens) Bench; and  
  (ii) The Court of Exchequer Pleas; and  
  (ii) The Court of Chancery; and  
  (iv) The Court of Common Pleas  
  An example of a Common Law "Privilege" was in the creation of the concept of Settlements whereby a man or a woman once granted inhabitancy could freely move around the settlement needed permission to settle. Hence the name "settler" and the requirement for a license to settle.  
  Contrary to false claims, the right to freely travel on the main roads was an Anglo-Saxon right, taken away under Feudal law and only partially returned under Common Law in the 16th C with the requirement for a warrant or a "passport" to travel.
