The Strawman – Why Your Legal Name Isn’t You

Following on from my previous blog where we explored how your birth certificate isn’t a celebration of life but a registration of legal fiction — we now go deeper into the entity it created: your Strawman.

This isn't a metaphor. It's an administrative construct created through paperwork — and it changes everything about how you're treated by the system.


The Birth Certificate: Life or Death?

The birth certificate we all take for granted isn't a certificate of life. Legally, it's closer to a certificate of death — the registration of a vessel, not a living being.

It's created by the registrar, handed to your parents without them realising what just occurred: the creation of a corporate person in the form of your NAME IN ALL CAPS.

Even more telling, many birth certificates include this phrase: “This certificate is not evidence of the identity of the person presenting it.”

Why? Because the certificate doesn’t belong to the living you. It belongs to the strawman — the trust, the legal person, the corporate fiction. It is in fact crown copyright.


What is the Strawman?

This strawman is a legal persona — created when your birth was registered, not recorded. It's defined by:

• Your family name/surname in ALL CAPS

• A birth registration number (your tracking ID in commerce)

• Legal responsibilities that you, the living man or woman, are presumed to accept


This isn’t you. It’s a role created by the state to interact with their system — because their system only deals with entities, not sentient individuals.


Here's how it works:

• The system requires a person to assign liabilities, collect taxes, and issue contracts

• So it creates one for you at birth — your strawman

• By default, you're tricked into acting as its trustee, taking on all the burdens


But when you learn the truth, you can reclaim your role as the executor — the one in charge.


Contracts, courts, and commerce

When fines, court orders, and debts arrive — they're addressed to your strawman.

And if you don’t challenge the assumption, your silence is taken as agreement: you accept the liability, the role, and the consequence.

This is the backbone of the corporate legal system. It only works when you believe the fiction is real.

Want clarity?

To truly step out of the matrix, you need to understand the language it’s built on. That’s why I’ve created a simple, jargon-free resource — the Legal Fictions Glossary.


See past the illusion

You are not a vessel.
You are not the paperwork.
You are the living man or woman — sovereign, sentient, and no longer asleep.

  💡 What If Everything You Knew About Your Legal Identity Was Wrong? 💡 Most of us go through life assuming we own our name, our money, and our property. But what if the system was designed differently? At birth, a legal identity —a corporate “Person”—was created in your name. This is what governments and banks interact with, not the real you. 🔹 Ever wondered why your name is always in capital letters on official documents? 🔹 Why are we automatically bound to taxes, debts, and laws we never agreed to? 🔹 What if there was a legal way to take back control of your financial and personal freedom? More and more people are asking these questions and discovering a new way to operate within the system—on their own terms. #KnowYourRights #IAmFree #LegalIdentity #FinancialIndependence

You Were Never Meant to Be a Legal Person

  A Name You Never Chose Imagine walking through life thinking you own your name, your home, your very identity — only to discover that from birth, a silent contract was forged without your consent. A contract that binds you not as a sovereign being, but as a legal fiction . A shadow version of you, created on paper, to operate in the world of commerce. Sound dramatic? It should. Because it’s true. Today, we unravel how you — the living, breathing, feeling you — were never meant to be a legal person . And why correcting this misidentification may be the most powerful move you ever make. The Hidden Handshake at Birth When you're born, your parents lovingly register your birth. What seems like a routine civic duty is actually the creation of a corporate entity — an artificial legal "Person" tied to a birth certificate. This legal "Person" isn’t you. It’s a deceased estate , an instrument of commerce , a vessel in the sea of the global legal system. And here...
