I cannot speak for other jurisdictions on this planet, but for those countries that were part of the British Empire at one point or another, land is dealt with in the same way; "The Queen in Right of Alberta" holds allodial title to the land and rents out the land to her tenants, rent due and payable each year. You don't pay the rent, you get forcibly removed at gun point and your tenure is sold to somebody else.
That seems to be an outrageous statement, so let's work through it and explain how it works.
Allodium: Entire property. An estate held, not of a superior, but in absolute ownership. opposite to feudum or feud. - Oxford Unabridged dictionary 1958
Feudal: Of or pertaining to, or of the nature of, a feud or fief. Of or pertaining to the holding of land in feud. the conversion of allodial into feudal estates (Kemp). The feudal polity Blackstone. - Oxford Unabridged dictionary 1958
In modern English terminology, allodial / allodium means owning land with nobody between you and Creator. You are the highest authority and nobody can tell you what to do or how to do it. People used to own land with allodial title but when the British came along, they claimed allodial title to all the land and issued a feudal tenure to their new subjects to possess the land as tenants. For the land that we are stewarding, the land was held by the nêhiyawin (cree) of Turtle Island for thousands of years, until the British came and took it all through fraud, coercion, genocide and violence and converted it into a feudal domain.
Tenure: The condition of service, etc, under which a tenement (fact of holding as a possession) is held of the superior; the title by which the property is held; the relations, rights, and duties of the tenant to the landlord. - Oxford Unabridged dictionary 1958
Tenant: One who holds or possesses lands or tenements by any kind of title. - Oxford Unabridged dictionary 1958
Anybody that purchases 'real estate' in Alberta is not purchasing land but instead is purchasing a tenure, swearing fealty to their new lord and master, while agreeing to provide service with specific duties attached to that tenure. It is nothing but a grant from the Queen in Right of Alberta to possess the land. She retains full ownership and in turn the tenant has very specific duties that he / she must fulfill in order to retain that tenure.
Title: Legal right to the possession of property; the evidence of such right; title-deeds - Oxford Unabridged Dictionary 1958
Fee-simple: Law. an estate in land, etc. belonging to the owner and his heirs for ever, without limitation to any class of heirs. In fee-simple: in absolute possession. - Oxford Unabridged Dictionary 1958
When people purchase 'land' what they are really doing is entering into a landlord / tenant agreement with The Queen in Right of Alberta and leasing the right to possess the land, not own it outright. I've purchased land for years and nobody EVER explained this process to me or what the relationship actually looks like.
How does this make you feel when in technical terms, all the energy, capital and investment that we put into our homes and property actually is not owned by us but instead the title is turned over to the Queen the moment it becomes a part of the land or fixed buildings? Then she has the nerve to increase the rent because we improved the property for her. She did not pay a dime to do any of the development as most land lords do in a normal landlord / tenant relationship.
This issue gets even worse when we look into the Supreme Court of Canada ruling Tsilhqot'in Nation v British Columbia 2014 SCC 44 which established a new tenure called 'Aboriginal land title'. In short, the Queen in Right of British Columbia still holds allodial title, but the Supreme Court created a new feudal tenure to appease the Tsilhqot'in Nation into thinking that they won their land back. They did not. They still do not have allodial title to that land despite what most people think.
Reserve: Something reserved or set apart for some reason or purpose. A district or place set apart for some particular use, or assigned to certain persons. - Oxford Unabridged dictionary 1958
Even Indian Reservations do not belong to the 'Indians'. The land is held by the Queen in Right of Canada.
"tract of land, the legal title to which is vested in Her Majesty, that has been set apart by Her Majesty for the use and benefit of a band." - Indian Act of Canada
The reality is, people don't own the land, which has turned us all into slaves. The Queen / The Crown or what ever corporate name that holds the title to the land, has been done through fraud as none of these technical details were explained to people to the point where they could comprehend what it all really means.
We are the land and by using fictional constructs to remove us from the land, we end up being perpetual serfs to a lord that is not Creator. We end up being slaves to these fictional constructs which means that they also violate the UN Charter of Human Rights as slavery shall be outlawed in all its forms.
I also suggest that this is a root cause for the poverty that we experience on this planet as everyone now must work in order to live. If we were to return to the land with allodial title, we would owe nobody anything. We could live off the land and be free as we could provide for all our needs without having to pay a feudal lord of one kind or another.
