Law of One

1. The Law of One is the comprehension that all things are made of intelligent energy and are a part of the All-One. The Law of One is a Sacred Science of the mechanics of Christ Consciousness and are the Natural Laws governing our Universal Creation.

2. All-One is the recognition that Eternal Truth is Eternal Love and Eternal Love is the organic consciousness of Infinite Creator or God. Eternal Love consciousness embodied in a form is Unity intelligence, and simultaneously recognized as the Inner Light of Christos.

3. Unity consciousness is at One with God and Unity consciousness ignites the Inner Light of Christos. The Inner Light of Christos when actualized in form, is the embodiment of an Eternal God Human.

4. Practice Unity Consciousness and One is directly reflecting the image of God’s Love, and is eternally protected. Be At One with All, as One is All with God. Every soul is taking the same journey, but each soul has evolved at a different level.

5. The teachings of the Law of One describe the spiritual laws that govern our spiritual evolution for each dimension. It is a single philosophical system of World Humanism, which merges cosmology, science, Human Rights and spiritualism.

As a lifelong student of law, I am trained to check everything thrice and still leave myself wiggle room.

I am, therefore, surprised by people’s chutzpah in holding forth about (even specialised) matters about which they have zero knowledge or experience –or qualifications: +

I have been 'found short and marked up' by several assorted engineers ,chartered accountants & businessmen (in each case with 0 legal qualifications)* on the standard ‘England and Wales’ governing law clause-which has been boldly 'corrected' to 'UK law' , +

and in one case, believe it or not, the ‘kings’ law’(the Apostrophe too as placed!)

*Incidentally, besides professional legal qualifications and many years of International Project Finance legal experience, I have a distinction in Private International Law (that deals with+

governing law clauses) from one of England's top universities.

My English language skills have been found 'wanting' by the European CEO of a leading EPC Contractor who informed me : ‘The English no goood’ .+

This gentleman’s standard letter ‘in English’ consists of throwing in a few words and relying on the reader’s goodwill - to supply all connecting grammar. +

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday upheld a landmark $1.7billion arbitral award in favour of the Nigerian Petroleum Development Co. (NPDC) Ltd against the Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nig. Ltd and Atlantic Energy Brass Development Ltd.

Justice A. Faji dismissed Atlantic Energy’s application to set aside the Arbitral Award of March 5, 2020.

He upheld the submissions of NPDC lead counsel Prof Fabian Ajogwu SAN and granted orders recognising the $1.7bn Arbitral Award as well as for leave to enforce same as a judgment of the Federal High Court.

This landmark decision upholds one of the single largest Awards ever in a Nigerian Arbitration.
Sometime in August 2015, Atlantic Energy, through its lawyer, T. Fagbohunlu SAN, took the NNPC to arbitration for alleged breach of contract.

Lawyers - does Tanzin v. Tanvir set precedent for suing federal health officials for violating our rights?

SCOTUS has unanimously ruled that federal agents can be sued when they violate your rights. Now do qualified immunity. https://t.co/Gec47ZMEg0 via @reason

Some thoughts on this laudable petition (a 🧵about managing

It is good to give a voice to the huge frustrations being felt with regard to the situation musicians, other performers & the many other skilled professionals who work alongside them are waking up to now the UK-EU FTA deal is public /2

Virtually nothing in this article I wrote two months ago is changed by the deal, as in fact predicted in the article itself

The current petition is a kind of offshoot of the @WeAreTheMU petition that has been running for 2 years which has so far 90k

Who will act on the pleas in these petitions, especially as the deal, with its 2,000 pages, will become law in about 40 hours time in our Noddy-democracy Parliament? Trade bodies representing the UK's music industry have been lobbying hard on these exact issues for 4 years /5

1. Going with a space/alien narrative today. I've put a thread together on the topic based off my favorite Patreon/ YT @ShowCasanova & "V". If you have never heard any of their discussions, you are missing out!

A repeal of Section 230 likely would lead to more content moderation and fewer opportunities for user-generated content. To understand why, it's helpful to look at a dispute that Eddie Haskell had with an adult bookstore 40 years ago.

After Leave it to Beaver went off the air, Ken Osmond, the actor who played Eddie Haskell, became an LAPD officer who had a small family and led a pretty quiet life. Until the early 80s, when he found out that a chain of LA porn stores was selling a film starring John Holmes.

The cover of the film's carton said that it starred "John Holmes, who played 'Little Eddie Haskell on the Leave it to Beaver show.'" Ken Osmond was the only one who played Eddie Haskell, and he never was in porn.

The chain of porn stores sold more than 10,000 different films, and the men who ran the stores said they had not reviewed the movie's cover, nor did they know who played Eddie Haskell.

Haskell sold the bookstore chain for libel, and the key issue for the court was whether the company could be held liable for the cover of a film that it distributed, even though it was unaware of that cover and that it might be defamatory.

Today's Section 230 thread examines what is probably the biggest misconception about the law (and that's saying a lot): whether there is a distinction between "publishers" and "platforms." The short answer is no. The longer answer is No, absolutely not! I explain:

The argument goes like this: websites only receive Section 230 protections if they are "neutral platforms." If they begin to moderate/block/curate user content, they become "publishers" and lose their Section 230 protections. Because 230 only applies to "neutral platforms."

Before deconstructing why this argument is incorrect, it is important to note that we don't know exactly where it has come from. It really only surfaced in the public debate 1-2 yrs ago.

But many lawyers for platforms have been making this mistake since 230 was passed, and have advised their clients to not moderate, lest they lose 230 protections. I think this terrible advice has led to a lot of the garbage we're dealing with online today.

Here's why the "publisher/platform" distinction just isn't a thing under Section 230. A main reason that Congress passed 230 was in response to a badly reasoned 1995 NY state court opinion that found that Prodigy was liable for all of its users' posts because it moderated.

I'm still seeing a lot of concern about the Texas Supreme Court filing, which is understandable. From a certain angle, it looks imposing.

So here, in sum, is why there's no need for alarm (thread):

1) The case asks the Supreme Court to exercise "original jurisdiction," skipping lower courts. The Court rarely does this. The Court *can* exercise this jurisdiction in state v. state disputes, but doesn't have to.

It takes 5 justices to hear this case, rather than the usual 4.

2) Usually original jurisdiction applies to state v. state disputes over borders, etc. - for example when NJ and NY sued over control of Ellis Island (Jersey!).

The TX case is something else entirely and could have been heard in lower courts (many have rejected similar claims).

3) The heart of Texas's claim is that it objects to election procedures used in four other states. This is unconstitutional and would lead to utter insanity.

First, The Constitution specifically gives each state the right to run its elections as it sees fit. Done and done.

4) And to allow one state to sue over another state's processes would lead to absurd results. Any state could sue any other state over the election. NJ could sue Alabama, Alaska, Idaho. Arkansas could sue MA, NY, and CA. It would never end.

The Court won't countenance that.

Domestic violence always tends to rise over Christmas. With households being locked down for much of the year already it's likely that this year will be worse. @RefugeCharity's helpline is 0800 2000247, with further organisations detailed in the link.

Poverty is rising with many families hit by job losses and reduced pay. Food banks are going to play an even more essential role. If you need one, or have overbought for Christmas and can donate rather than waste, @TrussellTrust has a food bank locator.

Christmas has always been a tough time for many people, even before Covid. Sadly this has long been reflected in the increase in suicides over the period. The @samaritans are there to listen. Don't suffer on your own. Their number is 116 123.

2020 has been particularly hard on people's mental health, and loneliness over Christmas can exacerbate that. @MindCharity's infoline on 0300 123 3393 is there to help.

The situation in NSW is changing fast.

Case numbers are continuing to grow. There are still missing links in the chains of transmission, which suggests there'll be more cases out there that the authorities are yet to find.

Without mandatory masks and stay at home orders across Sydney, we do not have confidence that the situation remains safe.

That's why from 11:59pm tonight, the Greater Sydney area and the Central Coast will be designated a 'red zone'.

People who live in these areas or have visited since 11 December cannot enter our state.

Anyone from the red zone found trying to enter Victoria in breach of these orders will be subject to mandatory 14-day hotel quarantine.

For Victorians currently in Greater Sydney or on the Central Coast, you'll have until 11:59pm on Monday 21 December to return home.

You'll need to register for an exemption on the Service Victoria website and get tested within 24 hours of your return.

You'll then need to self-quarantine at home for 14 days from the date you were last in a red zone.

DHHS teams will be checking on people to make sure they have everything they need – and to make sure they're at home.

We need to recognize how remarkable this

Part of me, of course, wants to see this as mundane -- as the Supreme Court doing exactly what it _should_ have done, exactly what every non-quack legal expert said it would do. But it would be wrong to dismiss the fears of those who worried it would do the opposite.

/2

As someone who studies authoritarian politics for a living, I would encourage all of us who have the privilege of living in democracies to retain a healthy appreciation of institutions working the way they _should_.

/3

The argument that SCOTUS _would_ rule this way because it _should_ rule this way was always specious, in my view. Of course it should. But 106 GOP congressmen and 17 state attorneys general _should_ also have refrained from filing amicus briefs.

/4

The GOP and Trump _should_ have recognized defeat, even if they don't like it. Fox News _should_ not be giving a platform to lies about 'illegal' ballots. Shall I continue?

1/ After a long wait, FinCEN has finally issued its new proposed rule extending AML regulation to non-custodial wallets.

It could've been worse (really), but it's still a terrible rule in both process & substance.

Here's what it says, what's wrong with it, & what we do next 👇

2/ The rule would impose new obligations on virtual asset service providers (VASPs) like exchanges & custodians.

For deposits & withdrawals > $3k involving a non-custodial wallet, VASPs would have to record the name & physical address of the wallet

3/ VASPs would also have to report any deposit or withdrawal > $10k to FinCEN in the form of a currency transaction report (CTR).

FinCEN says these requirements are necessary to "combat the financing of global terrorism," "address transnational money laundering...." You get it.

4/ Before now, the Travel Rule only imposed these record-keeping & reporting requirements on transactions from VASP-to-VASP.

Today's proposal follows a global trend of extending AML regulation to transactions from VASP-to-wallet, as we've seen from Switzerland, France, & others.

5/ Let's look on the bright side for a minute.

This doesn't require KYC for every transaction with a non-custodial wallet. It isn't an outright ban on self-custody. It doesn't prohibit the act of using a permissionless network.

It really -- REALLY -- could have been much worse.

Wondering whether Canada & BC might domesticate UNDRIP seems besides the point since UNDRIP itself explicitly recognizes the sovereignty of settler colonial states (above Native sovereignty) in Article 46. Article 27 recognizes colonial law as able to "adjudicate" Native rights.

Canada & BC (for the most part) have not even been parties to the many Treaties involving Indigenous peoples on these territories, let alone respected or adhered to them. Treaties are ostensibly international law, while UNDRIP is not.

Most of BC has no Treaties. BC is a rogue province that was formed in violation of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 & Duty of Disallowance of 1875. The modern BC "treaty" process was started in response to the many Native blockades in the 1980s & 90s (more than any other province.)

At the time of adopting UNDRIP last year, BC's Premier & Minister of Indigenous Relations publicly stated that First Nations would not have a "veto", that Native rights were the same as those "all peoples" have, & that Bill 41 doesn't give UNDRIP "legal force and effect."

BC's adoption of UNDRIP is not a conspiracy or trojan horse. It's conducted openly in collaboration with the settler corporate community. As the CEO of the First Nations LNG Alliance said, “I see UNDRIP creating more certainty. I’m hoping that investors hear this message."
