Watch The Water - Lady of the Lake - Whore of Babylon
It's been suggested a lot lately that one of the main legal foundations of the DS is this idea of enforcing admiralty/maritime jurisdiction on the land. Birth certificates, redemption, post offices, remittances, code 96, etc, etc, etc. The "sovereign citizens" were into all this stuff 10 years ago.
In the King Arthur legends he gets his first sword (symbolizing royal power) from the stone, or the law of God. Common law. The sword was later broken by King Pellinore, king of "the Isles". Water. The sword was broken in a joust no less, not a war. Betting, gambling, admiralty. He then got a new sword from some strange woman distributing them in a farcical aquatic "ceremony" for a promise of a later "boon" to herself. Contracts. Debt.
There has been flags with and without the admiralty gold fringe lately, in different situations. Maybe there are other signs that differentiate admiralty law from criminal and civil jurisdictions? Someone was saying the $100 bill had changed.
Revival, redemption, remittance. All powerful words in International law…
Just spitballin'.
