Moor (n.)

“North African, Berber, one Of the race dwelling in Barbary,” late 14c., from Old French More, from Medieval Latin Morus, from Latin Maurus “inhabitant of Mauretania” (Roman northwest Africa, a region now corresponding to northern Algeria and Morocco), from Greek Mauros, perhaps a native name, or else cognate with mauros “black” (but this adjective appears in late Greek and may as well be from the people’s name).

Also applied to the Arabic conquerors of Spain. Being a dark people in relation to Europeans, their name in the Middle Ages was a synonym for “Negro;” later (IGc.-17c.), being the name of the nearest Muslims to Western Europe, it was used indiscriminately of Muslims (Persians, Arabs, etc.) but especially those in India. Cognate with Dutch Moor, German Mohr, Danish Maurer, Spanish Moro, Italian Moro. Related: Mooress. Etymology Dictionary Updated April 7, 2025.

American: n.an Aboriginal or one of the various copper-colored natives found on the American Continent by the Europeans; the original application of the name. – Websters 1828 American Dictionary of English language and 1936 Websters unabridged 20th century dictionary.

Colonization

“Moor” were colonized, reclassified and branded during slavery as Indians, Negroes, Black People, Colored Folks, African American, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Barbadian, etc, etc…

These name were given to slaves by slave holders in 1779 in order to control and steal the birthright(s) of the indigenous people. On January 15, 1865, slavery was abolished in the United States with the congressional ratification of the 13th Amendment. As a result Moorish (American) people were emancipated from slavery. 

Noble Drew Ali, A Moor – descendant of our Ancient Moabites. He was born of the Cherokee Tribe of the Moorish Nation, and was named Timothy Drew. At a very young age, Timothy Drew was inspired to learn more about the scattered bits and pieces of the heritage, knowledge and culture of his Ancient Moorish peoples. He began to travel the land of old (Amexem, Africa / America). He lived and mingled with various Indigenous Moorish tribes; and was resolved to better their conditions.

Noble Drew Ali’s inspired activity and determination were the impetus yet to be manifested Moorish movement. This Movement was destined to progressively activate and change the whole frame of mind, status and political condition for the formerly enslaved Moorish People at Northwest Africa (Al Moroc / America)..

He founded the Moorish Science Temple of America and the Moorish Divine National Movement of World to Uplift the Moors and fallen humanity. If one would wonder or desire to have a clearer knowledge, understanding of focus and purpose about the Moorish Divine and National Movement in North America – then study the words of the Prophet and founder of the Moorish Movement. It is, therefore, presented and subscribed, in the best interest of the People, to read these documents for themselves, instead of being preoccupied with non-productive, and unfounded opinions or debates.

Our Divine and National Movement stands for the specific grand principles of Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Justice, and I, the Prophet apply to all loyal, faithful Moors, Members, and the American citizens to help me in my great uplifting acts of uplifting fallen humanity among the Asiatic race and nation, for I have suffered much and severely in the past through misunderstanding of what the movement was dedicated to.

Born in 1887. Our Ancestor Charles Mosley Bey helped in this great humanitarian mission of uplifting Moors and fallen humanity…Round about September 8, 1952, Charles Mosley Bey Recorded the Clock of Destiny, Moorish American Nationality Identification Card and Zodiac Constitution under Certificate Number AA222141.

Moorish American Nationality Card Identification, and Zodiac Constitution in the United States Library of Congress Copyright Office Washington D.C., and The United States Department of Justice, under Moorish American Credentials AA222141- TRUTH A-1., Washington D.C., United States of America.

Charles Mosley Bey, was a highly qualified 3rd, 33rd, and 360 degree, Free Moorish Master Mason, Master Astrologer, PhD., LLD., and Constitution Law – Giver.

He made the Provision for Moors to correct their status.

Noble Drew Ali’s plea with to the Moorish leader of America. “Therein, unerringly, you will be informed of the Moorish Mission; instructed and directed of and to the true purpose of the Mission’ and given a solid foundation upon which to base your studies, your actions, your dedication and your associations.” With a clearer understanding that the Moorish Movement in North America is the great legacy left to us by Noble Drew Ali, you will recognize that the “Movement’ belongs to “We, The People”.

The object of our Organization is to help in the great mission of uplifting all Moors and fallen humanity; and to teach the things necessary that they may become better citizens.

Corporation

An artificial person or legal entity. See Henry Campbell Black’s Law Dictionary 5th Edition Page 307.
Many States / Governments of the world had Treaties with the Moors Moroccan Empire. Many of these States / Governments went bankrupt, renounced and relinquished their Jurisdiction in Morocco (the Empire); Which included the lands of Europe, Russia, and the America’s etc. Many States /Governments later formed themselves Corporations in-order to avoid paying Taxes to the Moorish Sultan Emperor of Morocco. Read and study the case.

187 JUDGMENT OF 27 VIII 52 (U.S. NATIONALS IN MOROCCO)

it has been argued. “The Court cannot, therefore, pronounce upon the legal situation in other parts of Morocco. In order to consider the extent of the rights of the United States relating to consular jurisdiction, it has been necessary to examine three groups of treaties. The first group includes the bilateral treaties of Morocco with France, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Denmark, Spain, the United States, Sardinia, Austria, Belgium and Germany, which cover the period from 1631 to 1892. Thesc treaties, which were largely concerned with commerce, including the rights and privileges of foreign traders in Morocco, dealt with the question of consular jurisdiction in three different ways:” See page 15 of the World Court, I.C.J. International Court of Justice, Decision, in case France V. United States of America, “Case concerning rights of nationals of the United States of America in Morocco, Judgment of August 27th, 1952: I.C. J. Reports 1952, p. 176.”

What happens when a government go’s bankrupt? It loses its Sovereignty and Authority. Furthermore, all Governments are Corporations., i.e. UNITED STATES, CANADA, ENGLAND, GERMANY, JAMAICA etc etc…

Which is why all Corporate Government Identification Cards appears in all CAPITAL LETTERS. Don’t take our word for it. Check your Identification.

In 1795, acting Justice J. Rutledge, Cushing, Wilson, Blair, Iredell, and Paterson of the United States Supreme Court Stated “Governments are Corporations”. “Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, and a creature of the mind only, a government can interface only with other artificial persons. The imaginary, having neither actuality nor substance, is foreclosed from creating and attaining parity with the tangible. The legal manifestation of this is that no government, as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc. can concern itself with anything other than corporate, artificial persons and the contracts between them.” S.C.R. 1795, Penhallow v. Doane’s Administraters (3 U.S. 54; 1 L.Ed. 57; 3 Dall. 54),

Many of us is being deceived into thinking that those acting as Government(s) are in-fact (de jure) government(s), when they are not! They are in-fact privately owned registered de facto Corporations. They claimed that you and I are Artificial Persons (Corporations or Corporate Persons). Hence why in 1868 the 14th Amendment was created. It was created to give validation to Corporate Citizenship and to continue to enslave the Moors. This was done 3 years after slavery was abolished. However, It now affects the Whole World. These Corporations now claimed to have Citizens of their own. See Corporate Citizenship.

Corporate Citizenship. Corporate status in the state of incorporation, though a foreign corporation is not a citizen for the purposes of the Privileges and Immunities Clause (U.S. Const., Art. IV, sec 2). See Henry Campbell Black's Law Dictionary 5th Edition Page 306.

ARTIFICIAL PERSONS. Persons created and devised by human laws for the purposes of society and government, as distinguished from natural persons. Corporations are examples of artificial persons. 1 Bl.Comm. 123. Chapman v. Brewer, 43 Neb. 890, 62 N.W. 320, 47 Am.St.Rep. 779. See Henry Campbell Black's Law Dictionary 4th Edition Page 145.

If we would agree to take the Fezzes, and Turbans off the Moors Heads and remove the sandals from their feet and enforce it with severe punishments, and also swear a death oath between ourselves to religiously, and faith fully not allow anyone to teach the Moorish Children whom they really are or who there forefathers were. And only allow the Moorish Children to be taught that they were truly Negros, Black people and Colored Folks;“(George Washington) stated that “200 years from today the Moorish people would not know their nationality nor the national name of their forefathers also they would not know from which land or ancestors that they descended from.” George Washington. Taken from Minutes of the first Continental Congress meeting 1774.

Decolonization

Is the process of dismantling the political, economic,social, and cultural structures of colonialism to free a people or area from colonial rule and reclaim Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination. It involves more than just gaining independence from a colonizing power; it also includes deconstructing colonial mindsets, revitalizing Indigenous cultures and knowledge systems, and transforming institutions to become inclusive and equitable spaces.

A Proclamation is the act of ‘Proclaiming’ or ‘Publishing’, which is an ‘Avowel’ (open Declaration) or a formal ‘Declaration’. This act causes some ‘State’ matters to be ‘Published’ or to be made generally known; and by virtue of the said ‘matter’ being placed in ‘written form’ and issued by proper authority.

Here is What You Need to Know About Your "'Name' Correction" and "Judicial Notice and Proclamation." It is Utilized as a 'Lawful Notice"

They are NOT permission documents. You do not need anyone’s permission to declare your free national name or your nationality. It is your unalienable creator god given right. See also United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

2. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of their nationality or denied the right to change their nationality.

There are five (5) Civilized Titles associated with our Vast Estate (The Land). They are Ali, El, Bey, El, Dey and Al. One or more of these Titles can be used in your Name Correction Declaration. The five (5) titles are the premise of the so-called acceptance of the five (5) – civilized tribes / families during the induction or branding of Moors as Federally reserved Indians, etc… Moors ARE NOT federally reserved Indians. It is a brand; along with negroes, coloreds, blacks, African American etc, etc…

We are Fundamentally Els and Beys. You can also use one or more titles in your name. For Example, John El, John Bey or John El Bey. The other titles are to be attained by degree.

In the absence of a National ID, they commonly have accepted a Birth Certificate, Drivers License. and others. Which are not real Identification and CANNOT Identify a breathing living soul. Those instruments are commonly accepted BECAUSE one does not have a National ID Card. And a CORPORATE STATE / CORPORATION (Municipality) CANNOT offer National Identification Cards. Know that a National Identification Card is supreme to all Corporate Federal Identification.

In Section 1028 of the Title 18 it designates three special non-federal identification documents and gives them preferred treatment.

Birth Certificate 2. Drivers License and 3. Personal Identification Card. All being in the ABSENCE OF A NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD.

Nationalization Process

Divider

Nationalization is a multi-level process. The ‘Legal Notice’ / ‘Judicial Proclamation’ and ‘national identity card’ serves as the beginning of the nationalization process known as your initiation back into ‘civilization’ and ‘ancient civilized principles’ which are in harmony with the rest of the civilized Asiatic / Hu-man race around the world. 

To be ‘nationalized’ (not ‘naturalized’) is to exercise the consciousness and demonstration of your national standing (status) and national principles in all affairs of your life, including commerce. 

You Must Prove Your Foreign Citizenship and Protection

The continent known as North, South, and Central America and the adjoining islands are under binding international treaty law. Elihu Root, former United States Secretary of State, made the following remarks on the subject of citizenship under international treaty law:

See the PDF copy of the ‘Congressional Record’ of the above statement:

America is Morocco on Paper: The Hidden Moorish Empire?

“Moors” lost their Nationality by becoming Naturalized Corporate Citizens.
See Page 2 (2 and 3) of the above document.

All persons residing in Morocco [the Americas] who cannot prove foreign citizenship or protection are considered by the operation of law as Moorish subjects.
