Diplomatic Agents The supervisor of a mission, such as an ambassador, and members of the mission staff who possess diplomatic rank are DIPLOMATIC AGENTS. Such an agent is immune from criminal liability in the nation in which he or she serves, but the commission of a crime may result in a recall request to the ambassador's country. His or her expulsion may ensue upon the refusal of any such request.
In addition, a diplomatic agent is immune from civil lawsuits, except for actions involving estates, when he or she is the executor, administrator, or beneficiary; actions concerning real property held by the diplomatic agent for personal, not official functions; and actions relating to professional or business activities that are beyond the scope of diplomatic duties. A diplomatic agent is not required to testify as a witness; and the family members living in the agent's household enjoy the same immunities.
Due to the hardship imposed on the victims of motor vehicle accidents in the United States caused by foreign diplomats who have diplomatic immunity, federal law mandates that mission members and their families insure their personal motor vehicles, boats, and airplanes. If the mission has similar vehicles registered in its name, it also must purchase liability insurance. An action for damages for property loss, personal injuries, or WRONGFUL DEATH can be maintained directly against the diplomat's insurance company and is tried by the court, presiding without a jury.
Staff Members The administrative and technical staffs and families and household members of the mission are completely immune from criminal liability, but are immune from civil liability only for official acts. Similar rules apply to members of the service staff employed as domestics, but their families and private servants employed by staff members are not so protected against liability.
Consuls Consuls are not diplomatic agents and, therefore, they are usually amenable to civil lawsuits and criminal prosecution in the country

try where they are assigned. Federal law, however, extends immunity to consuls from all suits and proceedings in state courts. This prevents any embarrassment to foreign nations that might ensue from such proceedings.
Other Exemptions Diplomatic agents in the United States and the members of their households are generally exempt from federal, state, and municipal taxes. They are responsible, however, for indirect taxes that are part of the price of goods, taxes on property inherited from a citizen, taxes on any real property they own privately, or capital gains taxes on profits from personal investments. Diplomatic agents have no obligation to serve in the U.S. armed forces. These exemptions also apply to the administrative and technical staffs of the mission and their families. The service staff and private servants are exempt from taxes on wages received from their employment with the mission or its members.

We are Jamaican Nationals who have renounced our citizenship status to the government of Jamaica by a notarized affidavit. The refusal of this government in Jamaica to acknowledge and accommodate us with diplomatic-unofficial honorary ambassadorship- credentials for expatriation is an attack on our existence and right to life and liberty. We are trying to expatriate from the status of a commercial subject/citizen, to then seek reparations by way of the government's diplomatic accreditation process and finally repatriate to our home lands Adis Abeba, Ethiopia, as the kings an queen's(private diplomats) we once were before slavery. We seek to become a signatory to the African Charter and Universal Declaration for Human Rights. We have been trying to secure diplomatic travel documents to also be able to have access to offshore tax havens. We want to manifest our dream of the "Nation of Jah Ras Tafari" becoming a holy nation, a micro-state and a member to the United Nations in tribute to the founding father of the universal declaration for human rights, His Imperial Majesty Ras Tafari Makonen. Bob Marley foretold of a time when we each will have to stand up for our basic human rights. Our father left inalienable, fundamental, universal human rights and freedoms to die for. The only evidence a person can have in championing human rights is private diplomatic credentials respected by the forces of control that operate under colorable law. WE NEED THE ASSISTANCE OF TRUE HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS, ACTIVIST, ETC...TO HELP US BREAK THE 'BONDS' THAT HOLDS US IN PHYSICAL COMMERCIAL MENTAL SLAVERY. VOLUNTARY CITIZENSHIP STATUS UNDER ANY NATION CARRIES ECONOMICAL, FINANCIAL, AND JUDICIAL ENSLAVEMENT OBLIGATIONS. WORK AND PAY TAXES OR GO TO JAIL OR STARVE IN THE STREET. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS WHO SEEK FULL RECOGNITION AS SUCH AND WOULD LOVE FOR ALL TO ASSIST IN OUR PERSONAL INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLES WITH LIBERATION FROM GOVERNMENT DOMINION. WE NEED HELP IN GETTING THIS INFORMATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE AFRICAN UNION AND THE WORLD, AS THE PEOPLE IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT. WE WANT TO ASSIST IN PUSHING INDIVIDUAL AS WELL AS COLLECTIVE HUMAN RIGHTS BILLS OF PROGRESS...READ,,ELEVATE,,AND PLEASE ASSIST African Union Dated this 23rd day of the 9th month in the year of our Creator Two Thousand Seven. Sir, we are in dire need of assistance in exiting the economy and liberating ourselves from the Government of Jamaica’s dominion. We have privatized our intellectual property by filing a commercial lien (UCC-1 financing statement) attached with a perfected/Firm Security Agreement against this intangible chattel property with the Secretary of State of Washington. Our file number 2006-048-5098-2 is evidence that we are the supreme claimants in regards to all commercial transactions pertaining to this private property. We have expressed our knowledge and evidence of the citizen/corporate concept used to commercialize Human Beings into 21st century commercial mental slaves. Our registered correspondences to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs And Foreign Trade, Senator Anthony Hylton and Minister of State, Mr. Delano Franklyn, diplomatically requesting to be released from the economy, has gone unanswered for eleven excruciating months. We have formally renounced our citizenship status to the bankrupt Government of Jamaica Corporation by Notarized Affidavit submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs And Foreign Trade, Minister of State, Mr. Delano Franklyn and his failure to acknowledge and accommodate us with unofficial-honorary ambassadorship-credentials shows physical proof of negligence in observing the “great charter” Universal Declaration for Human Rights. Section 2: citizenship, of the Jamaica (Constitution) Order in Council 1962 provides remedy as Parliament left provisions for any person to renounce their citizenship status. The constitution protects citizens, Nationals, habitual residents, and dwellers. We are renounced citizens from the Government of Jamaica dominion, who are now stateless and displaced Human Beings that seek to expatriate to our home land. We are Sovereign Jamaican Nationals of African Ancestry, by birthright and by Law, who now declare to be exercising our Right to change Nationality under the Universal Declaration for Human Right so we can be recognized as foreign born Sovereign Ethiopian Nationals. The renunciation form that we received from the passport office solicits a cost of $30,000 Jamaican bank notes which is extortion and forced servitude. Since the great depression, the passage of the 1933 Monies Act in Jamaica or House Joint Resolution 192 June 5 1933 in U.S, it has been against public policy for any Creditor to demand payment in any kind of coin or currency. This legislative move by Congress suspended the gold and silver or commodity base of the currency and eliminated the ability to ‘pay a debt’ while introducing a new mechanism for ‘discharging debt obligations’ using debt instruments, promissory notes, valueless commercial paper money or under public policy. These are all means of tendering payment in Commerce. We understand that all the people’s assets and property were collateralized into a commercial bond or Consolidated Fund and this can be used as another means of tendering payment for discharging personal expenditures, which are statutory expenditures/redemption monies under the Jamaican constitution. We are Not involved in Commerce in any way, shape, or form. We do not buy, sell, or trade; nor do we work to earn valueless commercial paper or anything within the economy. We are Sovereign Spiritualists, Human Beings of African Ancestry that are protected by the constitution and are still entitled travel documents from the Government of Jamaica who controls the ports. We have traced our roots to the maroons that were granted diplomatic immunity under the 1838 Maroon Treaty and further to the Solomonic bloodline in Ethiopia . The Ethiopian in us will die fighting for FREEDOM before we accept citizenship/slaveship status from any bankrupt, juristic, Government Corporation. We seek the establishment of our sovereign independence from the tentacles of Government Tyranny and Redemption from commercial Hell. Our goals to self expatriate from the status of citizens, then repatriate as Sovereign Spiritualist-Human Beings who claims protection under our father’s Universal Declaration for Human Rights, and finally to seek self reparations from the Government of Jamaica’s Diplomatic Accreditation Procedures. We believe modern day commercial physical/mental slavery is real and outlawed by the Universal Declaration for Human Rights. Citizens negotiate private commercial paper like professional merchants while fatally unaware of the jurisdictional shift for such callousness. The currency has no intrinsic value and there is no obligation for anyone to ‘pay a debt’ since the great depression of the 30s’. We are modern day commercial mental slavery abolitionists who are destined to exit the economy and Minister the Word of God as a service to our brothers and sisters who are still mentally, spiritually, and physically lost in a Commercial World that worships valueless private debt instruments/paper money as GOD. A mass exodus for spiritual believers can be possible in the millennium once I am accredited these unofficial honorary ambassadorial credentials. Our ancestors taught us to utilize Astrology for guidance. History tells us that we are moving from under the 6000 years rulership of the GOD of Commerce, Mercury. This shall result in the destruction of the created commercial world, in other words; the U.S. stock market will have a mega crash and plummet worldwide. This design of bankruptcy is orchestrated by the powerful, influential people who created it. All who ignorantly depend on paper money as their gold will suffer great loss worse than the 1930s’ when there weren’t any computers and the world was less populated. Spiritual believers deserve our spiritual wealth in this time of Redemption. Our belief in our Creator’s purpose does not include working and paying taxes as a corporate subject, citizen, nor to work and earn valueless private commercial paper or credit owned by private corporations. We instinctively believe our purpose to serve humanity with all our unconditional LOVE. We seek to secure our international Human Rights as our prophet, Bob Marley, tuned many years ago for us to overstand today’s commercial physical/mental slavery economy. Our suffering within the Jamaican economy has become unbearable due to our boycotting and refusing to be active participants in Commerce. We believe in the Creator and his purpose for us to serve humanity, and we believe in the Universal Declaration for Human Rights that grants us inalienable, Rights and Freedoms. We also would like to assert that we are no longer human beings who subject themselves voluntarily by tacit agreement, thru social adhesion contracts, then branded with a first word terminology of a corporate slave, citizens. We declare to be Human Beings that are inviolable under the ‘magna carta’ “great charter” Universal Declaration for Human Rights and deserve our Right to be recognized by our elevated legal status of Ethiopian nobility. We need assistance from Noble Human Rights Attorneys to help us attain these diplomatic credentials, so that the God of Ethiopia’s creations/children can be released from this bankrupt Commercial World. Our life mission is to carry on the Creators work, which is Ministering the Word of God: One Love Amongst All People, As All People Were Created out of the Creator’s One Love- our tribute in honoring His Imperial Majesty Ras Tafari Makonen’s basic Human Rights and Justice for ALL. Help us to make our destination home to the African Union, Adis Abeba , Ethiopia so that the Nation of Jah Ras Tafari becomes fully protected under our father’s ‘great charter’. May the Love and blessings of the Creator pass Rightful judgment in your heart, so we can begin to enjoy our Rights to Life, Liberty , and security of persons as according to the Universal Declaration for Human Rights. Diplomatically Yours, Ambassador of Knowledge Prince of Power Mesfin Haile Selassie I Minister to the Nation of Jah Ras Tafari 34 Grove Road Linstead, Saint Catherine Republic of Jamaica in the West Indies Servant for Humanity Contact: 1-876-547-8507 1-876-426-8255 www.myspace.com/nationofjahrastafari The unresponsiveness of the government of Jamaica in issuance of our unofficial honorary ambassadorship credentials has made it difficult for us to travel unmolested and unhindered to offshore trust fund companies so we can deposit our fiduciary contract trust documents. We refuse to accept any regular citizenship passport on account that it would be fraud and misrepresentation of our natural, human bodies as citizen that fall under the Terrorist Prevention Act in Jamaica. We have already renounced our citizenship status on our own liability and now stand stateless and displaced in foreign territory......., these credentials that we seek to attain will ensure that ALL our fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms will be secured under the Universal Declaration for Human Rights. This is an unprecedented move as we have been informed that we are pioneers to this development in securing ALL fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms. We have been boycotting the economy for this reason and have fallen on hardships unto ourselves. It's like being on a hunger strike with no one paying any attention. This rogue government of unintelligent individuals cannot disregard, force servitude or slavery, compel us to belong to their association, denied right to international travel, denied the right to a competent national tribunal in determining our legal status under the constitution and the universal declaration for human rights and the 1838 Maroon Treaty. Our freedom comes first and then we will be in the capacity to discharge personal expenditures as a statutory expenditure under redemption monies out of the Jamaican constitution under finance.We need intelligent individuals who seek a better life in this world. The capitalists have turned the global economy into a dungeon for mindless slaves/citizens. The definition in blacks law dictionary used in Parliament, is one who submitted to the dominion (will) of a government. Just by us protesting this imposed INFERIOR status and centralizing ourselves on a firm political ground, as foreign nationals of Ethiopian origin, we will defeat Goliath in unity and strength. Only those that protest their voluntary citizenship status. Let us embark on a never ending attack on the United Nations and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ethiopia. I & I will add other letters as this Nation grows. Knowledge is the foundation for everything in existence. We really can be free from commercial slavery with unofficial diplomatic-honorary ambassadorship- credentials issued from Goliath (government) once they know that we know, who we are. Humans can only enjoy true commercial freedom under the guise of a private, recognized UN diplomat. His Imperial Majesty Ras Tafari Makonen was a dejezmatches at 13, I & I see no reason why we, as children of the Most High, Negus Christ, cannot become a diplomat now that we have retained the knowledge of how. Knowledge is power, only if used. We feel the power of diplomacy and want to share unconditionally. We have faith for Selassie I, for when he said equal rights and justice- he meant equal rights and justice for all. Man is equal to any government corporation (man's shadow institute of control). The queen use to own government of Jamaica, but the money monsters/international bankers/federal reserve/Rothschild/Rocker fellas now control the whole world with US defecto currency/ valueless commercial credit money. All governments have gone bankrupt since the great depression in 1933 and have been using substitute money that Roosevelt passed an executive order giving the federal reserve full control over the nations money supply. We now have a world playing monopoly with their lives. The national debts of all countries signifies bankruptcy and are operational under reorganization chapter 11 bankruptcy where the company dissolves to pay back foreign investors. Everything in the world is in receivership to creditors who have the capacity to reap the fruitful land as it has been sown. Lets agitate for our diplomatic credentials together. Time is now for I & I, letters must be pushed forward as it concerns all human beings who seek the truth in redemption over our human vessels. We want to own ourselves and become exempt from government taxation. Securing our full rights, assisting others in their self human development and establishing economical and social measures for underprivileged humans, along with collective security for assurance of justice or individual sovereignty recognition will be our modis operandi. We are also open to any and all peaceful, non violent suggestions in our journey to overcome Babylon system (personal state of confusion). We are spiritual individuals that want to enlighten the world and be enlighten with Knowledge-the foundation to everything in existence. It is said Humans are born free, enslaved by civilization, and then die free again. We want to commercially die from this commercial jurisdiction by privatizing our intellectual property to come out of government hands-taxation, and then resurrected into the sublime realm with acknowledgment of our Ethiopian nobility by the United Nations, African Union, Geneva Convention, all Peace Treaty's-enacted or ratified. Legal recognition is a Must for us to succeed at FULL REPARATIONS when repatriating to Ethiopia. HELP US ------LEAD US,,,,,,,GUIDE US.........BE INSTRUMENTAL IN OUR HUMANITARIAN CAUSE FOR COMMERCIAL FREEDOM FROM OUR PRESENT SITUATION.
