Problem -- Misinformation  
(This is probably one of the most profoundly certain claims on earth, and it is elaborated, verified and confirmed in great detail throughout the website. The "Brief Foreword" gives the big picture.)
If you have already read the important Brief Foreword, you can skip it by clicking on the following:
Brief Foreword
The Purpose and the Truth:
There are five major or leading reasons for this website:
(1) The first is to teach correct principles as there are serious falsehoods taught in the field of nobility and chivalry. (See "Problems and Solutions: The Future of Nobility and Chivalry" at http://www.nobility-royalty.com/id108.htm) Pope Felix III wrote, "Not to oppose error is to approve it, and not to defend the truth is to suppress it." In other words, silence implies consent and promotes error and distortions.
(4) The fourth reason is this website is a well-written and documented doctoral project on international and domestic law. A university doctoral degree requires that one make a "significant original contribution to knowledge." In our case, this dissertation, which is, in fact, this website, provides proof "beyond a reasonable doubt" of our claim, and the laws that determine when a case is authentic, valid and genuine. (See "The Law makes all the Difference between an Authentic and False Claim")
(5) And fifth, because my good name (Donald E. Goff, Ph.D., DBA, D.Litt. (eq.) and our claim have been unfairly attacked on the internet, the true facts needs to be published and made known. It is, as Edmund Burke emphatically declared, "All that is needed for the forces of evil to win, is for good men to do nothing." It is hoped that the real truth will prevail, not error or inaccuracies. Hence, a good reason for this website. (See "Problem -- Misinformation" and starting with http://www.nobility-royalty.com/beware_of_false_claims_of_sovereignty.htm on the website of The International Commission on Nobility and Royalty)
To fulfill all these important purposes:
George Washington declared, "Truth will ultimately prevail [but only] where there [is a concerted effort] to bring it to light." Every single relevant point will be examined in great detail, so that the reader can easily see that all the legal facts are more than adequately substantiated, verified and confirmed.
This website is about the lawful transfer of all the international land rights, distinctions and honors of the principality of Halberstadt, which claim has been vetted and recognized by scholars as being legally valid and legitimate. (See " The First of Seven Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges" and/or " Documents") In other words, this case is not based on hunches, speculation, guesswork, or suspicion. Nor it is not based on myth, legend, fabrication, or make believe. It is based on numerous cold, hard, verified facts -- the law itself. Including the fact that, not just one, but eight legitimate and lawful conveyance or acquisition laws transferred the title and rights thereof to our family. Thus, our claim is not only compelling, but it is truly beyond any reasonable doubt, because no other logical explanation can be derived from the facts, and expert legal witnesses have validated the claim as genuine and accurate. (See " The Mathematical Certainty of the Claim" and " Documents: Testaments and Witnesses to the Truth")
In other words, this case is not questionable or problematic. The proof is not imaginary. It is as close to being flawless that is possible in this life.
To remove unreasonable or irrational doubt in any kind of important claim, ". . . it behooves us to place the foundations of knowledge [or a case such as ours] in[to] mathematics." (Roger Bacon as quoted in Stuart Shanker, Wittgenstein and the Turning Point in the Philosophy of Mathematics, 1987 p. 269) Mathematics is one of the surest paths to truth, because the principles of mathematics are the principles of almost all things. Not every thing lends itself to math, but the precise exactness of the laws in this case and the facts thereof, do. For that reason, probability is particular is well-suited to our case. This project was done with the help of two prominent members of the Math Department of Dixie State University. The exacting science of probability shows the claim is not merely a "preponderance of evidence" level situation, making it "more likely than not," or even just a "clear and convincing" case, meaning it is exceptionally compelling. But it is nothing less than the highest confidence level available, which is far "beyond reasonable doubt." This is because it has achieved mathematical certainty.
The probability question was: "What are the chances that all 40+ separate legal and situational facts would combine to bear a perfect witness that our claim is absolutely true, if it wasn't absolutely and totally true?" That is, when all, not some, but all the evidence points in one direction in a major court hearing and the defense cannot produce any law or any contrary facts, then the conclusion is clear, obvious and unmistakable. Probability provides an even greater assurance or level of certainty.
Keep in mind that from back-alley dice games to highly sophisticated research in laboratories, the laws of probability have proven themselves to be just as dependable as the laws of gravity.
The result: an impressive 17,000,000 to one likelihood, if we ignore 40% of the proof (in other words, this is the most conservative figure, for if we use all the evidence, it is not merely a billion to one, but 1.1 trillion to one) that the claim could be anything but a true and genuine transmission of all rights and privileges.
Zero probability means there is no chance of something happening, or in our case, there is no chance or only a one in 17,000,000 that our claim could be wrong. On the other hand, this means there is a 100% or 99.999411764703% likelihood that our claim is anything, but profoundly and beautifully true. As stated several times, this kind of certainty is equal to or greater than any other regal claim that ever existed. The claim could hardly be stronger. This means it is as strong and powerful as the claim of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I of England and her rightful successors. The case is that solid. (See " The Mathematical Certainty of the Claim")
 The challenge is to find out for oneself, which means one must give it a fair hearing, due process and due diligence. Otherwise, one will do a great injustice to the verified facts, the historical realities, and the legal truths that saturates this case. But, as a result of such an effort, one would end up knowing a lot about the laws that created the transfer.
Every new, added and discovered fact of support has acted exponentially to the probability or likelihood that any proposed claim is absolutely true. One chance in 1.1 trillion that this claim is wrong or 1.1 trillion to one odds that it is right certainly puts this case in a category of beyond doubt. This enormous figure is conclusive of the fact. One might as well deny that the sun and moon exist as to doubt, or believe that pigs fly that this case is not of the highest confidence level possible in mortal life.
For example DNA proof is required to be 100 billion to one that something is an undeniable fact or absolutely true. (David E. Newton, Forensic Chemistry, 2007, p. 146) By comparison, the certainty of our case adds up to over 1.1 trillion to one that honorable laws gave us the principality. This is 1,100 times greater or more sure than DNA evidence is required to be. This says a lot about the immense credibility of the case as an established fact.
The point is, our claim is not built on flimsy evidence, but on solid rock.
Evidence in a Nutshell:
There are three types of belief: (1) a vague belief, (2) a well-supported belief, and (3) a belief that is beyond reasonable doubt. As will be seen, this case is build on the highest level of evidence possible. It is far above any reasonable doubt.
The point is, no one can just make a grand royal claim and it somehow someway magically becomes legit. It must be legally valid to be rightful. Legality is what divides the sheep from the goats. It distinguishes the true royals from the fakes, the impostors and the counterfeiters. (See " Proof is Necessary and Required" in " The Law makes all the Difference between an Authentic and a Fraudulent Claim")
The following are seven very basic general points. We'll get into the details and the specifics later on throughout this website:
(2) There is full compliance to all the relevant natural, international, and English laws which validate and confirm the claim to be factual, genuine, and true. This can be seen throughout the website,
(4) the 2002 legal abandonment of all rights of ownership of the principality by the Imperial and Royal House of Hohenzollern. (See " Abandonment" in " Letters from the Imperial Family"),
(6) Five of those transfer modes were established by international law. Three were domestic. However, along with power of English private international law (see " Private International Law and English Jurisdiction" in " The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges"), normal domestic law in England, and most common law countries, have full authority over the legal rights of other sovereign entities that exist or have lawful standing within their own territories. (See " D. Adverse Possession transfers all the rights of an Estate which includes Regal and Sovereign Rights" in " The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges") What this means is the domestic modes are just as valid and legitimate as the legal right of the international transfer methods. This comes through either pivate law via English private international law statutes and practice, and/or domestic national law. Both have the legal right to deal with sovereign entities that exist under their jurisdictional authority as a nation.
(7) There are the legal sworn testimonies given under oath and penalty of law testifying of the truth by the most prominent participants. (See " Documents" and " Contact and Affidavits"), and
 Reliable evidence, using only 40% of the evidence, places the case at a 100% certainty (a 99.999411764703% probability level), which is several mathematical magnitudes " beyond any reasonable doubt." (See " The Mathematical Certainty of the Claim") The point is, No other logical explanation can be derived from the facts, which is what " beyond any reasonable doubt" means.
Emerich de Vattel, one of the chief fathers of international law, declared that a whole kingdom or principality may be obtained by one ". . . who has purchased it, or received it in exchange, or acquired it by any title whatever." (Emerich de Vattel, The Law of Nations, Book III, chapter 13, no. 198) (emphasis added)
It must be admitted that there is no a priori [self-evident] reason why the categories of methods of acquiring territorial sovereignty should be considered closed. International law is not so rigid as to exclude new developments. It may well be, therefore that there exists a sixth [or seventh or eight] method of acquiring territorial sovereignty. . . . (F. A. Mann, "The Present Legal Status of Germany," The International Law Quarterly, vol. 1, no. 3, Autumn, 1947, p. 326)
NEW MODES OF TERRITORIAL ACQUISITION: Title may now be acquired in ways other than those developed over the centuries since the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia. . . . (William R. Slomanson, Fundamental Perspectives on International Law, 6th ed., 2011, p. 299)
Some new methods that are now widely recognized and used today are international proprietary estoppel, novation, consolidation of title, highest right or best claim, and historic title. Any legitimate method that is a legal and valid mechanism can pass on a sovereign regal entity. According to Vattel, it can be "by any title whatever." And ". . . It is this [kind of legal transfer] which gives the receiver . . . regal [kingly and/or princely] right." (Johann Wolfgang Textor, Synopsis of the Law of Nations, [1680], vol. 2, John Pawley Bate, trans., chapter 9, no. 19, 1916)
[Sovereign] territories were transferred back and forth and thus boundaries were [quite fluid] drawn and redrawn as a result of war, conquest, treaties, dynastic marriage, purchase and other transactions. . . . (Robert H. Jackson, "Boundaries and International Society," International Society and the Development of International Relations Theory, Barbara Allen Roberson, ed., 1998, p. 161) (emphasis added)
Because " territories were transferred back and forth," and were fluid, changes in dynasties -- especially German principalities and lesser sovereign entities in Europe were fairly common occurrences. International law validates and confirms this historical practice as legally binding in modern times as well as in the early days of international law. (See the " Sovereign Honors and Rights can be Transferred") The international law qualifiers " acquired it by any title whatever" or " other [possible] transactions" for conveying regal sovereign rights demonstrates the flexibility and existence of alternative title transfers in international law. Besides the usual modes of acquisition and loss of sovereignty in international law, " A few novel methods have emerged." (J. H. W. Verzijl, International Law in Historical Perspective: State Territory, 1970, p. 297) This would include three domestic ones governed by private international law. (See Private International Law and English Jurisdiction" in The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges") The point is, sovereignty may be acquired " . . . by any of the recognized modes by which private property is acquired by individuals," which includes adverse possession, proprietary estoppel and the domestic law of best title or best right doctrine. (Professor Pomeroy, "Sovereignty and Territorial Acquisition," The Treaty Making Power of the United States, Charles Henry Butler, ed., vol. 1, chapter 2, section 43, 1902, p. 74) In other words, Halberstadt was obtained by legal and lawful means -- eight of them, in fact, making the transfer definitive and perfect. (See " Eight Legal and Lawful Methods Transferred all the Rights")



Putting this all into perspective, if you had a 99.99999999+ chance -- a probability so extraordinary and certain -- that you'd win 100 million dollars tax free, would you bet your house? Would you bet your future pension? Most people would do so in a heart beat. Such a high likelihood is far greater than a beyond reasonable doubt determination, yet those astronomical odds are exactly how sure our claim really is. It is more likely that a person will find a 400 pound gorilla underneath their bed tonight, than this claim is anything less than conclusive and true.
A Solid Foundation without Weaknesses
It only takes two relevant and confirmed material facts to achieve a " beyond reasonable doubt" confidence level determination, but we have over 50 verified facts demonstrating the truth and reliability of our claim. 50 is far greater -- far more certain and absolute than 2. This mean our case is 25 times more sure than is needed for a determination of being " beyond a reasonable doubt." But beyond that, the laws of probability makes it virtually certain and undeniable. (See " The Mathematical Certainty of the Claim")
The point is:
You can't build something right on something totally wrong.
You can't build something powerful and strong on something fundamentally weak and fragile.
You can't build a great truth on a false paradigm, fantasy or make-believe.
You can't build something beautiful and lasting on filth, rot or decay.
To build on drifting unstable sand is a sure disaster.
You can't build a great building on a weak foundation and expect it to last.
If the foundation is cracked or built on unsteady ground it’s only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down. The difference between our claim and so many others is that it is built on a foundation that is solid -- based on sovereignty law, historical facts and legal precedence. It is sturdy because it is true.
Ignorance of the Law
The ancient law, that " ignorance is no excuse" has a long and extensive history. The time-honored Latin term, " Inorantia juris non excusat" means " ignorance of the law excuses not," and " ignorantia legis neminem excusat" means " ignorance of law excuses no one" (Henry Campbell Black, Black's Law Dictionary, 5th ed., 1979, pp. 672-673 and UIA, The Encyclopedia of World Problems & Human Potential; 2018: http://encyclopedia.uia.org/en/problem/158218) These legal maxims were designed to promote justice and represent the " . . . legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability. . . ." (Ibid.) Other expressions of the same from ancient Rome are " nemo censetur ignorare legem" -- " nobody is thought to be ignorant of the law" or " ignorantia iuris nocet" -- " not knowing the law is harmful." (Ibid.)
If the law does not support a claim, the claim is false and can be rejected with impunity. This is because sovereignty and royalty either exist on a legal basis or they do not exist at all. Therefore, judging a dispossessed sovereign claim, such as ours, without knowing the applicable and relevant laws involved, is similar to judicial misconduct or malpractice. Using the totally wrong criteria in an evaluation can lead to an enormous misunderstanding of the fundamental facts involved. Hence, the caution that " ignorance of the law excuses no one." Due diligence cannot take place without a thorough investigation. (See " Questions and Answers continued" for a good example involving ignorance of the law)
Since our claim is rooted and grounded in the law that sustains it; since that is Its foundation, its core and center, even its very heart and soul, the laws involved must be understood. Therefore, the reader is encouraged to read without bias and learn the fundamentals that created and transferred the lawful titles and sovereign rights.
Basic Legal Principles:
 Everything that follows -- in other words, the whole claim depends on some well-known, undeniable legal facts in domestic and international law. Many of the laws underlying this case are " legal maxims," that is, they are time-tested fundamental rules of justice and equity recognized as universally rightful and fair to all involved. (See " Legal Maxims" in " The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges") The following are some of the most basic fundamental principles. The references contained in each statement will take one to detailed explanations, legal citations and verified evidence substantiating each one as important and significant:
 It all started with a valid English Deed of Transfer in the year 2000, that in spite of an investigation costing over $300,000.00 USD by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the London Tribunal, the conveyance could not be proven fraudulent or false. It was recognized as a legitimate conveyance document. (See " Documents -- Testaments and Witness to the Truth")
 In English law, " adverse possession" can fully and completely transfer a private deposed international sovereignty right through " private international law," which law is universally designed to legally solve private legal problems involving a fundamental international component or foreign involvement. It can make domestic laws operative for private international concerns:
. . . Jurisdiction in international cases of a private nature [like the transfer of the private international land rights of the principality] is not governed by international law, but by the domestic law of each state [through private international law]. (Chilenye Nwap, "Litigating Extraterritorial Corporate Crimes in Canadian Courts," Doctoral Dissertation, University of British Columbia, 2012, p. 142)
In other words, private international law can activate or empower domestic adverse possession in transferring international territorial rights of a private nature. That is, " Private international law rules . . . [include a] . . . domestic legal system’s concepts of time bars [statutes of limitation] and adverse possession. . . ." (Christa Roodt, State Courts or ADR in Nazi-Era Art Disputes: A Choice "More Apparent than Real?," p. 432; 2016: http://cardozojcr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/CAC205.pdf) (emphasis added)
This important law can also lawfully handle private cases involving sovereignty such as ours. The Principality of Halberstadt is a privately owned legal, non-territorial sovereign entity in international law. " . . . In the case of private international law [situations are usually] of a private character, though . . . one . . . may be a sovereign state [or a deposed royal house that lawfully maintained and preserved their sovereign rights]." (S. S. Gulshan, Business Law, 4th ed., 2012, p. 16) (emphasis added) In other words, " . . . Private international law [can be] between individuals or between individuals and states." (Paras Diwan and Peeyushi Diwan, Private International Law: Indian and English, 1993, p. 47) This law is legally competent to enable or empower domestic laws to transfer a private international sovereign territory, such as, the principality of Halberstadt. (See " The Importance of English Private International Law" in " Three More Legally Binding Methods Transferred All the Rights to the Principality" and " Private International Law and English Jurisdiction" in " The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges")
 Not just the power and authority of private international law, but, if the legal mechanism exists in the nation, their domestic national law can also adjudicate, transfer and alter the rights of a domestic sovereign entity that exists within the domain of a particular nation. This is true as long as an such as act does not violate international law. This legal authority has been demonstrated by decades, even centuries, of legal practice. (See " D. Adverse Possession transfers all the rights of an Estate which includes Regal and Sovereign Rights" in " The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges")
 English adverse possession of a proprietary territory in international law establishes " constructive possession." That is, " possession in law" or vicarious possession, which is legally equal to actual possession through a landlord/tenant relationship. " Factual Possession" in English adverse possession law also includes the right of constructive possession through the sovereign (landlord)/tenant relationship. This legal status along with private international law enables adverse possession law to have the legal competence to operate for a deposed or non-reigning sovereignty still valid under international law. (See " Constructive Possession" in " Three more Legally Binding Methods Transferred all the Rights of the Principality" and " Factual or Constructive Possession is required, not Actual Possession" in " The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges")
 Both adverse and constructive possession create immediate secondary ownership of the territory in question, which right is above all others on earth with the exception that the historical owner still has the right to re-establish his possession. However, this right to re-possess only lasts until either the historical owners legally abandon the territorial land, which, in our case, they did in 2002, or the limitations period completes and finalizes the ownership in the adverse possessor, which took place in 2013. Hence, full and complete ownership was transferred to us in this way. (See " Constructive Possession," " 1st Legally Binding Transfer of Rights -- Universal and Binding" and " 3rd Legally Binding Transfer of Rights 2002: Highest Entitlement on Earth" in " Three More Legally Binding Methods Transferred All the Rights to the Principality") (See also " Letters from the Imperial Family")
 It is important to understand that all seven methods are legally concluded and finalized without court or any other legal involvements. That is, the statutes and laws involved stand free, independent and clear of any outside meddling and are immediately binding and final when the requirements are met. (See " Automatic Nature of Adverse Possession in English Law" and " Court Involvement is not Required for Occupation to Effect Changes in Sovereignty" in " Three More Legally Binding Methods Transferred All the Rights to the Principality"),
 Official recognition and/or the support of other states, scholars or organizations concerning a change of sovereignty are nice to have, but are irrelevant and unnecessary as the reality of the transfer is a legal fact. The point is, " . . . Sovereignty is neither created by recognition nor destroyed by nonrecognition." ( The New Encyclopaedia Britannica, edition 15, part 3, vol. 17, 1981, p. 312) Recognition cannot change a false and phony into something true and real, or something authentic into make believe. Truth is truth. Nevertheless, several prominent international legal scholars and experts have confirmed the validity of the claim. (See " Recognition Unessential to being Legitimate and Valid" in " The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges" and " Recognition is Immaterial or Irrelevant to the Situation" in " Three More Legally Binding Methods Transferred All the Rights to the Principality"),
 Four powerful protective laws safeguard what has taken place:
d. Both the domestic and international principle of " laches," a domestic and international doctrine similar to a statue of limitations, which also prevents or bars the consideration of a case after a period of time generally over 14 years. Laches is connected with the legal maxim: " Equity [or justice] aids the vigilant, not the sleeping ones;" that is, those who sleep on their rights or do nothing in a timely manner. (See " Critical Date" in " A Seventh and an Eighth Method also Transferred all the Rights and Privileges").
Each of these rules of law prevent any future effort to change the fact that the principality has been properly and permanently lost to the Imperial family, which lawfully abandoned it, and has been juridically acquired by the Goff/Harradine family in perpetuity or forever,
 When all the facts are added up, the case is extremely solid, way beyond " more likely than not." It has reach undeniable mathematical and legal certainty. (See " The Mathematical Certainty of the Claim")
The legitimate claim for these international property rights are based on law -- the most solid of laws on earth. In other words, every facet of the domestic and international laws involved are fundamentally rooted in natural law -- laws recognized as conclusive in all the earth for every people and culture and for all the ages of mankind. As the Sir William Blackstone declared on natural law:
It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original. ( Commentaries on the Laws of England, vol. 1, 4th ed., 1770, p. 41) (See " Natural and International Law" and " Natural Law and Adverse Possession" in " The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges")
Statistical Summary and Conclusion
That is, our claim is not only " clear and convincing" or highly compelling, but it is " beyond any reasonable doubt." It is based on " law" -- as all true and valid claims are. (See The Law makes all the Difference between an Authentic and a Fraudulent Claim) The evidence is straightforward and upfront, because it is based on clear-cut, self-evident laws and circumstances that are verified by affidavits and living witnesses as well as the important legally relevant documents involved.
When the principles of probability are applied, the odds are 1,100,000,000,000 (1.1 trillion) to one that our claim could be anything other than true. Consider the following comparative statistical facts to understand how great important this finding really is:
 You are more likely to be struck by lightening than this claim is not absolutely true (1 chance in 3,000),
 There is a greater likelihood you will be killed by an asteroid or comet than our claim to the principality could be false (1 chance in 250.000), and
1,100,000,000,000 to one is a very staggering figure that describes something that is mathematically certain. It is conclusive. When you think about it, you are more likely to be attacked and killed by a shark in your lifetime (1 chance in 3,748,067). You are more likely to die from the use of fireworks (1 chance in 340,733), more likely to die from drowning (1 chance in 1,134), to be killed in a car accident (1 chance in 84), have a stroke (1 chance in 24), be struck down by heart disease (1 chance in 5), even injured by a toilet (1 chance in 10,000) or hit a deer in the State of Hawaii where deer are truly rare (1 chance in 6,787). (What are the Odds of a Shark Attack; 2018: https://www.thewildlifemuseum.org/exhibits/sharks/odds-of-a-shark-attack) All of these things are more likely to happen to you than that our claim could be false, even if all the odds were added up and compared to it.
1.1 trillion to one means that the likelihood that our claim is absolutely true is at least 99.999999 percent -- practically perfect as 100% is absolutely perfect. That means for all practical purposes, the claim has a 100% mathematical certainty, or an extremely or enormously high confidence level. It is far too obvious, far too self-evident to deny or doubt. Statistically speaking, the odds are far beyond logical or reasonable doubt. The point is, belief is absolutely warranted and appropriate for a case where the evidence is truly beyond reasonable doubt. It has achieved the highest and most remarkable level of proof that is possible on earth. This makes this case, not only acceptable, not only compelling, but is a profound fact. (See " The Mathematical Certainty of the Claim")
The truth is, our claim is incontrovertible. Yet because of widespread bias and misinformation in the field of nobility and royalty, " . . . malice may attack it [and] ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is [as real and true as any other regal claim on earth]. (paraphrased from Winston Churchill) (See " PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS: The Future of Nobility and Chivalry" at http://www.nobility-royalty.com/id108.htm)

Misrepresentations
Contents: (Every section and subsection in one way or another provides verified evidence of the truth)
Common sense teaches us that:
A Number of Websites have some very Irrelevant, Out-of-date, and Disconnected Material related to our claim to Halberstadt, which therefore Misrepresents what really happened:
We do not want people to be misinformed. The following page was added in the hope that the honest inquirer will, at least, be able to understand why things are the way they are. 
Misinformation is the enemy of truth. It always has been and always will.
And, as the saying goes, "The uninformed are easily misinformed" or lead astray.
That is, there is a very real danger for deception in this situation, because people rarely make in depth inquires or check things out. Rather, if there is anything on the internet that seems contradictory, incompatible or opposite to a person's rightful and valid claim, people most often assume the worst and conclude that the claim must therefore be somehow flawed, improper or false. This can work against our claim even though it is " The Law makes the Difference between an Authentic and a Fraudulent Claim" -- as rock solid legally as most European deposed royal houses can confidently boast.
Over 95% of the people who see this website or hear about the claim, will never see any of the web pages described, still misleading web pages are influential; therefore, it was thought best that we should explain a few things:
First, it is important to understand that most of these web pages that seems contrary to our claim originally came from myself. I asked others to help me publish as much negativity and dirt as possible against the broker and his solicitor, in the hope that I could get someone to prosecute them and force them to fulfill their legal promises to give me the full proof that would make the Deed actually convey "good title," rather than "bad title." Bad title does not grant ownership.
In order to set the record straight, I offer the following:
 Again, it is important to note that I am the one who first published most of the things on the internet, which are now unrelated to the claim, that other's have copied so that there are now a number of misleading web pages supplying out-of-date information that is no longer relevant or has any real connection to the claim.
The reason for this loss of relevancy and applicability is because the Principality and all its rights were transferred in a completely different way than through a conveyance created by the broker and his solicitor. As described over and over again, the transfer was by a combination of domestic and international law through adverse possession, which is a form of prescription.
Johann Wolfgang Textor, one of the founding fathers or important publicists of international law, declared that:
The modes of acquiring Kingdoms [or principalities in this case] under the Law of Nations are: Election, Succession, Conquest, Alienation and Prescription. (Johann Wolfgang Textor, Synopsis of the Law of Nations, vol. 2, 1680, p. 77)
The websites generally focusing on the modern claim to Halberstadt are irrelevant and out-of-date precisely because they are stuck on the idea of a conveyance rather than the eight legally binding methods of transfer that actually took place in real life. (See " Eight Legal and Lawful Methods Transferred all the Rights") " . . . It is this [kind of domestic and international legal transfer methods] which gives the receiver . . . regal [royal kingly and/or princely] right." (Johann Wolfgang Textor, Synopsis of the Law of Nations, [1680], vol. 2, John Pawley Bate, trans., chapter 9, no. 19, 1916)
The process I used of attacking the broker and solicitor over the conveyance idea lasted for seven long years and was an intense effort to force them to fulfill their legal promises. I published everything negative I could think of, but none of the evidence that it might, in actual fact, be an authentic or valid sale, which knowledge helped me continue to maintain the claim of ownership.
 The first website, is from the Earl of Bradford's website on " British Feudal Investments, Ltd." at http://www.faketitles.com/html/british_feudal_investments.html. I asked the Earl to publish this and granted him the right to use my name. It was all part of my battle to get the information I needed. There is not any evidence on this web page that our claim is false or phony. This idea is only assumed to be the case in this brief article.
What is really enlightening in my case, however, is the 2008 court findings of the Solicitor's Disciplinary Tribunal, which I instigated and pushed very hard for. The results were very relevant. The solicitor was prosecuted by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), which spent over $300,000.00 USD's investigating him and the cases involved. They could not prove that fraud had occurred in spite of a very long, thorough, and in-depth investigation. They ruled that there was definite solicitor misconduct, and evidence was provided in these proceedings that the Transfer might actually have validly taken place, but nothing was proved either way. Hence, it was ultimately considered to be inconclusive, questionable or dubious. Therefore, the Deed of Transfer, although given legal standing or sustained as a valid legal English document, could not provide "good title" or convey ownership. However, this very act opened up the door to a completely different method of transfer that is just as valid, sure, and legitimate as a legal and lawful conveyance, and that is "adverse possession," which is how the rights to the principality were eventually received. So the Tribunal's findings, over 45 pages long, helped, not hindered or damaged the claim. It was a great boost or benefit.
The next web page is entitled, " British Feudal Investments; Antonio Boada, et al." by Oracle International can be seen at http://www.fraudsandscams.com/Boada/BoadaReport.pdf. I commissioned and paid Bill Branscum and Jim Parker, private investigators, to investigate the broker and solicitor. This report was about the conveyance possibility. It only provided circumstantial evidence, not proof of anything one way or the other.
 The whole purpose of this website and the Earl's was to make the situation look so bad for the broker and his solicitor that the FBI, Scotland Yard, the SRA or someone would take up the cause and prosecute these individuals. The SRA did. The FBI declared it to be inadmissible as proof was lacking. But all of this, again, was to push either the broker or the solicitor to defend themselves and thereby fulfill their legal obligation to give me all the information needed so that the Deed of Transfer would actually convey " good title." This never happened. But something else happened instead, which came as a complete surprise, the tribunal reinforced and backed up a legal and lawful potential to claim " adverse possession," which I never suspected, but discovered later on. (See " The Adverse Possessor does not need to know that he is Adversely Possessing the Rights to the Property he has taken control of or Factually Occupied" in " The First of Eight Transfer Modes Legally Conveying all Rights and Privileges")
 I made my own website, during these same years of fault finding for the same purpose I've state for each of the other websites, which was to push the issue as far as I could, because I knew there was some reasonable evidence that the conveyance could well be accurate. Hence, I never gave up, but maintained my claim of ownership. But I wanted some legal agency to go after either the broker or the solicitor to get them to reveal the truth. I spent years sending letters, containing as much incriminating evidence or rot as I could find to the FBI and the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) at the intense rate of one or more letters a week. The website I established had 56 pages with many details dedicated to this cause. It was entitled " Phoney Titles of Nobility: British Feudal Investments, Inc. Exposed." It was taken off the internet years ago. However, much, probably all, of the misleading and irrelevant information is now on the world-wide web in bits and pieces here and there. I, in effect, put them there without realizing that one day they would get in the way, when the rights to the Principality actually became mine.
I’d rather be below the radar and not sick my neck out, but as can be seen on the " Maintaining Deposed Sovereignty and De jure Ownership" website page, international law requires the use of " titles and arms" to preserve one’s rights or one's rights are permanently lost and are irretrievable. However, to publicly uses them, as required, there will always be those who will be derogatory or insulting. But this is a hazard, I must take and accept to preserve what we consider to be a treasure.
Of course, those who publicly insult and throw mud have no solid evidence against our case. Nor do they believe in due process or a fair investigation, but judge without even checking things out. Name calling (a juvenile practice) and innuendo or negative suggestion is employed without any investigation or evaluation of the real-solid evidence there is to support it. However, most people are not like this. They have a higher standard and can see through the lack of substance on the part of detractor’s statements. Our consolation and comfort is in the fact that the truth will triumph eventually. It always does.
 It is sad that someone would personally attack our claim on the worldwide web at " alt.talk.royalty" and use our good name in a derogatory way, but as Aristotle wrote that:
"To avoid criticism [one must]: say nothing, do nothing, be nothing."
To stand out in any way is a risk, but it must be taken as the law requires it. So come what may, we will proclaim the truth that we have a priceless family treasure or heirloom that is truly our own – one that can go down through the generations forever as long as we perpetuate and keep those rights legally alive as mandated by international law. (See " Maintaining Deposed Sovereignty and De jure Ownership")
The greatest man the world has ever known was attacked, malicious gossiped against and crucified. His chosen twelve also received insults, ridicule and eventually martyrdom. Celebrities and politicians are besmirched in tabloids and in the news. Every good or bad man, who stands for something, will be attacked.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TRUTH
Truth is, in fact, the greatest treasure in existence. Without it we are enslaved or held down by darkness and error. Hence, it is our mission to pull back the curtain and reveal truth as something of immense value and worth --- greater than anything else. The old saying of the Lord that "the truth shall make you free," reinforces what a treasure the truth really is. The truth makes us free from mistakes, absurdities, biases, and deception. This is to be free from some of the greatest tragedies and losses of life. Knowledge of this truth is the power to be free and liberated from the past and be able to boldly move into the future with confidence and the assurance that all eternity is on one's side.
However, to stand up for the truth often means others will criticize, heckle and belittle. They use the juvenile tactic of name calling. This must be endured, however, because it really doesn't matter what is popular or politically correct. What matters is what is authentic, genuine and true. Truth is the only solid thing there is in life.
Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "In choices of fashion go with the current, but in principle be as immoveable as granite" --- like the mountains.
We stand firm because the truth is on our side, we are on the side of the law, and our claim is valid and legitimate. All one needs is an open mind to discover this legal reality. It is self-evident when one becomes familiar with the law, history and legal certainties involved.
Eight Legal and Lawful Methods Transferred all the Rights
Deposed de jure or legal sovereignty are both a private law rights as well as public law rights. Whereas, reigning sovereignty is exclusively under public jurisdiction, deposed sovereignty is governed by both public and private law. As a direct result, both private law transfer methods, and public law modes of conveyance, had the full legal power to transfer all the honors, privileges and distinctions of the principality of Halberstadt. (See " Public and Private Law as it relates to the Transfer of the Principality of Halberstadt" in " The Public and Non-Public Use of Titles in International Law")
It is most impressive that not just one or two, but eight different, equally binding acquisition modes, unitedly and perfectly transferred the principality and all its regal rights to the Goff/Harradine family. These laws are listed as follows along with the dates when they were achieved:
The transfer is an established fact -- each of the above perfected the change in ownership in its own unique way.
This claim is as sure as any other royal claim that ever existed on the earth. It is that profound. Our case could hardly be stronger.
In fact, we also qualified for four more valid international transfer modes, " novation," " consolidation of title," " highest entitlement on earth on an international level," and " international proprietary estoppel" as well. Since each is composed of similar principles involved in most of the other acquisition laws mentioned above, we have not listed them. Nevertheless, this means there are, in fact, four more powerful witnesses to the truth of the transfer. There is now a total of twelve valid domestic and international conveyance methods involved. Novation and consolidation of title are explained on the web page: " A Seventh and an Eighth Method also Transferred all the Rights and Privileges" and international proprietary estoppel and international highest right on earth is described in " Three More Legally Binding Methods Transferred All the Rights to the Principality")
The grand and obvious conclusion is that this is one of the most profoundly certain claims on earth based on verified, confirmed and extensive evidence. (See The Mathematical Certainty of the Claim")
Underlying Purpose
 It would be a lot more comfortable to operate below the radar, merely claim our rights privately, and not stick our necks out, but international law requires or obligates that one publicly assert his or her rights or lose them. In other words, to maintain what is considered to be of great value and worth to us personally, we must obey the law. By this means, it is possible to preserve deposed legal sovereignty from generation to generation, but such obedience " . . . imposes on him an obligation to make known his rights." (Hugo Grotius, The Law of Nations, Book II, chapter 11, no. 141) . (See " Maintaining Deposed Sovereignty and De jure Ownership" on this website or " DEPOSED SOVEREIGNTY AND ROYALTY: How to Preserve it and How it can be Lost" at http://www.nobility-royalty.com/the_sovereign_rights_of_deposed_kings__monarchs_and_sovereign_princes.htm and also Dr. Kerr's book The Entitlement to Rule: Legal, Non-Territorial Sovereignty in International Law at http://www.the-entitlement-to-rule.com)
 The Law of Nations also requires or behooves one to provide solid proof, or a claim is considered to be no better than a family fairy tale, a phony pretense, or mere make believe. Thus, we have this website to fulfill these two important legal mandates: a public presence and solid proof, which proof was certified as valid by legally experts and the numerous citations and explanations of legally verified facts as found throughout this website. (For the requirement of proof, see " Proof is Necessary" in " The Law makes the Difference between an Authentic and a Fraudulent Claim," and " The Mathematical Certainty of the Claim")
Even though Halberstadt is a small sovereign regal entity, the ownership of ". . . sovereignty is not of like character with other things, rather, in its exalted rank, it far exceeds other things." (Hugo Grotius, The Law of War and Peace, Book 2, chapter 12, no. I) It is something truly magnificent -- there is something supreme and wonderful about it, which is above most things in life. ". . . The ruler or sovereign of a State [reigning or deposed] is, in international law, . . . considered as representing, in his person, [all] its sovereign dignity [honor and glory] . . . ." (William Teulon Swan Stallybrass, A Society of States,Sovereignty, 1919, p. 32) The point is, "All the majesty of the nation resides in the person of the prince. . . ." (Emerich de Vattel, The Law of Nations, Book I, chapter 15, no. 188) "Every thing that emanates from the throne ought to bear the character of purity, nobleness, and greatness." (Ibid.)
However, ownership of a real sovereign title does not make a man important, great, or good deep inside himself. Truly noble people are people with integrity, good works and compassion for what is right. We highly value what we have, but true nobility or inner greatness is earned, not bestowed, conveyed or transferred.
Our house rules mandate that no knighthoods will be conferred on non-family members, no titles will be given out to people outside of the family, nothing of regal importance will be sold or bartered. The claims, although public titles under international law, will not be flaunted, although they must be used as required by law. (See " Maintaining Deposed Sovereignty and De jure Ownership")
