The meaning of ‘surrogate power’ that is instilled into the minds of those targeted for signatures is the concept of representative government – whose members are meant to be the servants of the people

Those who sign the ‘Declaration’ are led to believe they are taking a stand against corrupt government that abuses the power delegated to them by the people. They believe that by signing and registering these ‘Declaration’(s) with the world court they will gain a kind of legal force against that corruption.

What they are actually signing in the eyes of the court (along with their standing as conquered peoples – like the Indians) contains many elements in relation to surrogate. The court recognizes ‘surrogate’ as a synonym for ‘probate’, and therefore “surrogate power” as “probate jurisdiction”; and “surrogate power officials as “probate jurisdiction judicial officers.”
