If a ‘Person’ is a Legal Entity, What’s Your Real Identity?

By Ken Bartle

Suppose that the word ʻpersonʼ (by definition) has been misconstrued in meaning. Suppose that in our society, a ‘person’ is a LEGAL ENTITY, a thing, an artificial construct and not a ʻliving beingʼ? Suppose that you are blissfully ignorant of this deception, and truly believe that you are a “person”.

What if your government considers a ‘person’ to be a corporate entity? And what if, without your knowledge or consent, you are legally responsible for a corporate entity that bears your name? And as a consequence you are bound by rules and laws that were meant to govern commerce, not people?

What ill consequences might arise from your ignorance? And who might benefit from this misunderstanding? Letʼs look.

So what is a person? Is a “person” a ʻthingʼ, is it a legal entity, or is it a ʻliving beingʼ? That needs to be clear.

This article pursues the concept of the ʻpersonʼ and exposes our system of ‘identification’ as a most damnable and contemptuous crime.

“I’m that person”

Imagine you arrive at the front desk of your local government office and youʼre asked if you have any personal ID. “Yes, no problem” you say, as you flash your photo ID card or passport saying, “Iʼm the person”.

Suppose a ‘person’ is actually a LEGAL ENTITY. Havenʼt you just and agreed to act on behalf of that ‘artificial person’ in your capacity as a ʻliving beingʼ? Havenʼt you have just agreed to continue the deception? And since you consented to this monstrous deception, would it shock you that corporatised ʻgovernmentsʼ use that consent to treat you as a LEGAL ENTITY, an artificial ʻpersonʼ, in all that it does and in every court in the country? Does it shock you that ʻgovernmentʼ demands every self-serving compliance it can get away with? That it owns your drivers licence, your passport, your birth certificate, your kids, your education, their education, your health, your property title, your car?

And how would you feel to learn that every time you use the word ʻpersonʼ, you endorse a criminally deceptive legal perversion that underpins the most heinous crime in human history; the theft of your life, your identity, your freedom, and that of your family and friends?

What is a “person”?

Oxford Dictionary defines ‘identification’ as:

“a means of proving a person’s identity, especially in the form of official papers”. [emphasis added]

Google provides a multitude of answers to the question – “original meaning of person?” My trusty Mac summed all of them succinctly.

ORIGIN Middle English: from Old French ‘persone’, from Latin persona, ʻactor’s mask, character in a playʼ, later ʻhuman being.ʼ

Letʼs go right back to its Latin origins – persona, actor’s mask, character in a play. The word ‘person’ denotes a mask, a presumed character, a concealment of sorts, something under the covers that only deliberate inquiry may reveal.

So what might the word ‘person’ be hiding?

Let’s start by defining the legal meaning of the word ʻpersonʼ. There are two persons identified in law: these are “natural-person” and “artificial-person”.

Natural persons

Letʼs try to define “Natural person”. Several definitions emerge from Google:

• a human being, naturally born, versus a legally generated juridical person.
• ‘natural person’ refers to a human being as opposed to a legally-created entity, like a Corporation, Limited Liability Company, General Partnership, Limited Partnership, etc.
• A natural person is any human being, with legal capacity commencing from the time of birth.
• A living, breathing human being, as opposed to a legal entity such as a corporation.
• A living human being. Legal systems can attach rights and duties to natural persons without their express consent.

All resources agree on “human being”, but there seems far too much divergence of opinion to clearly define ʻnatural personʼ. Qualifiers and dis-qualifiers abound; none are definitive.

Further research brought the website natural-person.ca into focus, particularly because it offers some words of caution.

• Two key words that are re-defined in almost every Statute are the words “person” and “individual”. There are only two “persons” in law, a human being, and everything else: a natural-person is a legal entity for the human-being. An artificial-person is a legal entity that is not a human being.

Did you spot it?

In almost every Statute”, there are two types of “persons”, and both are legal entities; one for the living being, and one not a living being. But did you notice it does not say that a ʻnatural-personʼ is legally“OF” the living being, but is an entity “FOR” the living being? Is it logical that if the “natural-person” is a ʻlegal entityʼ FOR a living human, then “natural-person” has no humanity to it. (E.g. a door FOR a shed is a door; it cannot also be a shed.)

Whatever happened to the “breathing”? What happened to all that flesh and blood?

Well, according to your LEGAL status, flesh and blood doesn’t exist. The definition of the phrase “natural-person” does not include the living beingʼs “Life characteristics”; those ʻlifeʼ elements which prove life is present, have been disqualified. A “natural-person” is something constructed to serve a human being, and so must be some ʻthingʼ other than human. It does not live. This “natural-person” is dependent for all its actions upon a living, breathing human being.

Does this surprise you? And would it surprise you to know you were not supposed to notice this distinction… like it is masked in legality and deceit?

Person or human?

Let’s examine this idea.

There are only two “persons” in law, a human being, and everything else. Sounds simple enough. Whatʼs to explain further?

Every human being is considered by the legal system to be a “person”. You are a member of the (legal) “person” club, and as an unknowing member of that club, a “natural-person” entity has been created for you. It hides under the mask of “person” and, deceptively, shares your name. And if you accept your ʻmembershipʼ by flashing your ID card, you are accepting and confirming that you are an artificial person.

Artificial persons

The word ʻartificialʼ means made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, typically as a copy of something natural. So an ʻartificial personʼ is seemingly a man made copy – but of what?

An artificial person is a legal entity that is not a human being, but for certain legal purposes is considered by virtue of statute to be a natural person.

Is your understanding complete yet, or is the wolf still circling?

Government created an artificial thing that is non-human, a Legal Entity, and labelled it an ‘artificial person’. Government statutes also create a ʻnatural personʼ entity, which enables the ʻliving beingʼ to act for the ʻartificial personʼ – and be bound by rules applicable only to ‘artificial persons’.

So what does this mean?
