There are many
historical facts that most Americans are` unaware of. There are also many
events that have shaped` the world we presently live in that are virtually
unknown to` the common people.
Unless you have
taken the time to research across many` disciplines, you’ll probably remain in
the “Dark Ages,” unable` to think for yourself, or decipher the world we live
in.
History was written
by those claiming victory in war. A` defeated nation, people or ideology lost
its claim to be` remembered as one of the powers that prevailed. Thus, the`
victors got to write the history for all of us to learn that` “might is right.”
The victor was
exalted as the one with the “right,” and the` vanquished became the bad guys,
the misinformed,` criminals who fought for a lost and often evil cause. Just a`
few years back the
Most people believe
that they live in a “democracy”, that the` federal government has total
authority over the 48 states,` and their “civil rights” are granted and
protected by the` government.
Most Americans
believe that the Constitution for the united` states of
Most people believe
that the “money” in their pockets` actually is an asset instead of a debt.
People believe all kinds` of things that are simply not true. “None are so
hopelessly` enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.” 2`
“One of the shrewdest ways for human predators` to conquer their
stronger victims is to steadily` convince them with propaganda that they’re
still` free...”
— Dr. N.A. Scott`
There is an
important distinction between “knowledge” and` “belief.” Most Americans base
their information on beliefs,` which are fed to them through the television and
public` education, not based on well-established fact or firsthand` experience.
Thus, We the People
are too gullible, and believe what we` are told without questioning authority
or carefully` examining the facts. Thus, we are easily manipulated and`
controlled by the Power structure. Whether that authority is` the government, a
bureaucrat, our parents, the school or a` church leader, we must always base
our actions on informed` and confirmed knowledge backed up by direct
experience,` not solely on belief.
Otherwise, we are
sitting ducks for the spin doctors who` manipulate public opinion through the
media and shape the` issues to their political satisfaction.
“It ain’t so much what a man doesn’t know that` causes him so
many problems, but what he knows` [believes] that [actually] ain’t so.
— Will Rogers`
What you probably
did not know, and very well may not` believe, is that We the American People
are uniquely` endowed with absolute sovereign powers having the same`
prerogative, the power and authority historically reserved` for the King,
Queen, or the Pope.
We the American
People are the source of power and` authority from which the American system of
law and our` state and federal governments arose. We the American` People are
sovereign American National OR “state” Citizens` of the free and independent
sovereign states of the republic` — providing we reclaim it, restore it, and
defend that right. 3`
We the People are the rightful and
lawful masters of our` government, the corporations, and banking system. In`
These sovereign
powers of We the People were established` in the American system of law through
the Declaration of`
“For when the [American] revolution took place,` the people of
each state became themselves` sovereign;` and in that character hold the
absolute right to all` their navigable waters, and the soils under them,` for
their own common use, subject only to the` rights since surrendered by the
constitution to the` general government.”
— Martin vs. Waddell, 41 US (16 Pet) 367, 410` (1842)`
If this is true,
then why don’t most “
Why is government
irresponsive to the petitions of the` people, and have become arrogant with
their abuse of` power?
Because We the
People have not been vigilant over the last` 220 years since the constitutional
republic was founded, and` have not been watchful of the encroachments of
government` and corporations, at all levels, upon our unalienable rights` as
sovereign people.
We the People have
not educated ourselves, until now, about` our true and lawful sovereignty and
Citizenship. In effect,` the Constitution for the
While asleep, We
the People have become the economic` slaves and “subjects” of sovereign Power

If this is true,
then how do sovereign Power structures have` rights and powers that We the
American People no longer` have? Because We the People have unknowingly,`
unwittingly, and unintentionally, given away our` unalienable rights as
sovereign “state” Citizens.
Without an
understanding and comprehension of` sovereignty and Citizenship, every attempt
to exercise our` basic liberties and rights to self-determination will be
futile` and ineffective. First, we must trace the roots of our` American
history to its inception, and find out what really` happened.
“The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly`
self-administered by its victims.
The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which` blissfully
and unawaredy enslave themselves.”

Church and State`
The American
republic was predicated on the establishment` of the freedom of religion and
the unalienable right to` practice your religion of choice without interference
by any` government, state or “ruler’s law.”
The strength of
this right was established by the sovereign` authority of the Pope and the
Canon law derived therein.
Understanding
sovereignty and Citizenship requires an` introductory education about the true
history of the united` states of

Its least interference with it would be a` most flagrant
usurpation.”
— James Madison` The political battles between the Church and State go back a`
millennium, when the Pope and the Catholic Church was the` major political
power around the world.
The monarchs of Europe
were often subservient to the` Catholic church until such time that the King of
England` took over the churches in
From the Church of
England spawned the Episcopalian, the` Presbyterian and the Puritan religious
beliefs. Many of these` religious, political and social battles are continuing
to this` day in
These traditional
struggles between sovereign Power` structures are the killing-fields in the
world today. This was` part of the modern rationale for the separation of
Church` and State, although both were intrinsically linked in the` founding of
the
The American colonists
abhorred the religious and political` persecution by the Monarchs of Europe and
the Catholic` church.
Many came here to
practice their religion of choice, and to` escape political persecution or
economic slavery. So when` the 13 colonies were formed, they brought their own
law and` customs.
John Calvin broke
away from the Catholic church to create` the Puritan religion, “A Covenant to
God,” where God was` the Sovereign instead of a King, Queen or the Pope.
They brought more

They brought the
“Canon law” of the church to protect those` “unalienable rights” guaranteed to
all free men by King John` when he signed the Magna Carta (1205) under threat
of civil war. Ironically, the Magna Carta signaled the beginning of` the Dark
Ages and the Inquisition.6` The
constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of religion,` and separation of
Church and State has being usurped by` the federal United States, like most of
our unalienable rights.
Today, the
separation of Church and State has boiled down` to issues of prayer or
Christmas carols in public (i.e.,` government) schools while the bigger issues
are completely` ignored. In their corporate and tax-exempt capacities, the`
Church, once sovereign and truly separate from the State,` has effectively
merged with the bankrupt and de facto State.
When churches
incorporated, they lost their 1st Amend-ment` rights
to freedom of religion and their sovereignty.

“inalienable” rights, or “civil” rights which are` conferred by statutory law
and by government permission` and privilege; cannot be liened against.

Sir Francis Bacon's
The New Atlantis, sets out his vision of a` new world in which the power is
exercised by a secret` society. Roger Bacon's Voynich's Manuscript, written by
a` 13th Century Franciscan monk included prophecies about the`
microscope, the telescope, the car, submarine, aero-plane` and the belief that
the Earth was a sphere.

Here the royal
favorites encouraged colonization of any kind` which attracted the Puritans and
others seeking practice of` religious freedom.9` The
original 13 British Colonies were trusts, or` “commonwealths,” created by Canon
law, which were` distinct states or countries in which sovereignty was`
ultimately vested in the Citizens of each state.
The Colonies
maintained their historical ties with England` through contracts for
protection, trade and services, while` establishing their own colonial
government and tax system.
King George of
England had the authority to extract revenues` and claim assets at will. This
arrangement eventually` led to the abuses of power that precipitated the
Declaration` of Independence and the American Revolution.10` Because of the underlying religious struggles between`
various sects wrestling for power in these common-wealths,` more than willing
to go to war for their beliefs, the leaders` knew the struggles had to be
resolved through a` Constitutional Convention.
America: The Brotherhood’s First Nation-State`
The Brotherhood
plan called for the establishment of an` independent united states of America.
Events were` engineered in Britain to cause an economic crisis resulting` in
higher taxation and duties on the American colonies.
Freemasonery lodges
in the usA began to agitate for a plot` against British rule because of the
taxes and duties. The` same Brotherhood was manipulating both sides leading up`
to the American Revolution as every major war and crisis` has been engineered
since. P.Sedir's "Histoire et doctrine` des RoseCroix"(Paris, 1910)
describes this process very well.
Even though the
British withdrew the taxes except the one` on tea, the foment for revolution
was unstoppable. Freemason` historian Manly P. Hall said fifty of the fifty-six
signers` of the Declaration of Independence were Freemasons.
Enrique De Vincente
says seventeen Presidents beginning` with Washington were Freemasons, so were
his top Generals` and Benjamin Franklin was the first Grand Master of the`
Freemasons of Pennsylvania. Through close connections` with the British, French
and German Brotherhoods the` American Revolution was easily won. When the
founding fathers` commissioned a design for the Great Seal, it included` classic
brotherhood symbols including the pyramid and` "allseeing eye" that
FDR (33rd degree Freemason) eventually` placed on the dollar bill in 1935.” 11`
> RULER’S
LAW— government power
is exercised by` compulsion, force, conquest or legislative usurpation; all`
power is concentrated in the Ruler; people are treated as` “subjects” of the
Ruler; land is treated as the “realm” of the` Ruler; people have no unalienable
rights; government is by` the “rule of men” rather than the rule of law; people
are` structured into social and economic classes; government is` always from
the Ruler down; problems are always solved by` issuing new edicts, creating
more bureaus, appointing more` administrators, and charging the people more
taxes to pay` for the services which often include their own oppression.
Dictators like
Adolf Hitler took over their government with` the full support of international
bankers and major` corporations including American companies, through the`
passing of statutory and administrative laws, much like in` America today. The
same strategy is being perpetrated on` the American people by sovereign Power
structures under` the banner of the New World Order and their legions of`
attorneys and police to take both constitutional rights and` property from the
American people. Our own government` has become the enemy of the people.
“We the People are the rightful masters of both` Congress and
the courts, not to overthrow the` Constitution, but to overthrow the men who
pervert` the Constitution.”
— Abraham Lincoln`
Fourteen Presidents Before Washington`
There were nine
original states, not thirteen. The` Constitutional Congress provided that,
“Ratification of the` convention by nine states shall be sufficient for the`
Establishment of this Constitution between the states so` ratifying same.”
Delaware was the first state to ratify, on` December 6, 1787. Pennsylvania and
New Jersey also` ratified that month.
Three more —
Georgia, Connecticut, and Massachusetts` were in by February 6, then came
Maryland and South` Carolina.
The ninth state to
ratify, New Hampshire, made the` Constitution a reality on June 21, 1788. The
official birthdate` of the republic is June 21, 1788.
We had
fourteen presidents before George Washington.
They were the
presidents of the Continental Congress from` 1774 to 1789, and their names were
Peyton
Randolph,` Henry Middleton, John Hancock, Henry Laurens,` John Jay, Samuel
Huntington, Thomas McKean,` John Hanson, Elias Boudinot, Thomas Mifflin,`
Richard Henry Lee, Nathan Gorham, Arthur St. Clair, and Cyrus Griffin.
John Hanson is
considered by some to be the first United` States president, since he was the
first to serve under the` Articles of Confederation. His term of office ran
from` November 5, 1781 to November 4, 1782.12`
The Famous War Inevitable Speech`
Editor’s
Note: This famous speech by Patrick Henry` catalyzed action behind the American
Revolution as` profoundly as his Common Sense pamphlet.
Mister President,
it is natural to man to indulge in the` illusions of hope. We are apt to shut
our eyes against a` painful truth - and listen to the song of that siren, till
she` transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men,` engaged in a
great and arduous struggle for liberty?
Are we disposed to
be of the number of those, who having` eyes, see not, and having ears, hear
not, the things which so` nearly concern their temporal salvation?
For my part,
whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am` willing to know the whole truth;
to know the worst, and to` provide for it.
I have but one lamp
by which my feet are guided; and that is` the lamp of experience.
I know of no way of
judging the future but by the past. And` judging by the past, I wish to know
what there has been in` the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten
years, to` justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased` to
solace themselves and the house?
Is it that
insidious smile with which our petition has been` lately received? Trust it
not, sir; it will prove a snare to your` feet. Suffer not yourselves to be
betrayed with a kiss. Ask` yourselves how this gracious reception of our
petition` comports with those warlike preparations which cover our` waters and
darken our land...They are sent over to bind and` rivet upon us those chains,
which the British ministry have` been so long forging. And what have we to
oppose them?
Shall we try
argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the` last ten years.
Have we anything
new to offer upon the subject? Nothing.
We have held the
subject up in every light of which it was` capable; but it has been all in
vain. Shall we resort to` entreaty and humble supplication?
What terms shall we
find that we have not already` exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir,
deceive ourselves` longer. Sir, we have done every thing that could be done,
to` avert the storm which is now coming on.
They tell us, sir,
that we are weak unable to cope with so` formidable an adversary. But when
shall we be stronger?
Will it be next
week or the next year? Will it be when we are` totally disarmed, and when a
British guard shall be stationed` in every house?
Shall we gather
strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall` we acquire the means of effectual
resistance by lying supinely` on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom
of` hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Sir, we are not
weak, if we make a proper use of those means` the God of Nature hath placed in
our power. Three millions` of people armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in
such a` country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force` which
our enemy can send against us.
Besides, sir, we
shall not fight our battles alone. There is a` just God who presides over the
destinies of nations; and who` will raise up friends to fight our battles for
us. The battle, sir,` is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the
active, the` brave. Besides, sir, we have no election.
If we are base
enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire` from the contest. There is
no retreat, but in submission and` slavery! Our chains are forged. Their
clanking may be heard` on the Plains of Avery. Forbid it, Almighty God - I know
not` what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty` or give me
death! 13`
Declaration of Independence`
The people had
exhausted all their administrative remedies` having petitioned the King for a
redress of grievances` without regard or response for over fifty years. The
last` resort of a free people is to declare their indepen-dence` through a
Common law document, the “Solemn Writ of` Mixed War.” The people must be
prepared to defend their` “Declaration of Independence.” One compel-ling reason
for` the Declaration of Independence was to eliminate Admiralty` / Maritime law
from the domestic law of the colonies,` although it did not set us free from
the outright ownership of` this country by the original 48 controlling families
of` Europe.14`
All
men/women are created equal. All have Godgiven` unalienable rights. Governments
are` instituted to secure these rights among people.
Government derives its just powers from the` consent of the
people.
These are the tenets of the` Declaration of Independence (July
4, 1776) by` unanimous declaration of the thirteen (13)` united states of
America in Congress. These are` historic words that founded a new nation. They`
are as appropriate today, as they were then.
“When in the course of human events, it becomes` necessary for
one people to dissolve the political` bands which have connected them with
another,` and to assume among the powers of the earth,` the separate and equal
station to which the laws` of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them,` a
decent respect to the opinions of mankind` requires that they should declare
the causes` which impel them to the separation.”
— Declaration of Independence`
Samuel Ward,
Governor of Rhode Island, chaired the` Continental Congress during our nations
process of` declaring its independence. Sam Ward nominated George` Washington
to be the General of the Revolutionary Army,` and he kept the army supplied with
food, clothing, arms and` munitions at Valley Forge.
Sam Ward penned
these words in a letter to General` Washington: “I sir, dedicate to you my
life, my fortune, and` my sacred honor.” These words became the last sentence
of` the Declaration of Independence. As a tribute to this great` leader, his
friends honored him by creating a symbol that` lives on today — Uncle Sam.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all` men are
created equal, that they were endowed by` their Creator with certain unalienable
rights, that` among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of` happiness.”
“That to secure these rights, governments are` instituted among
men, deriving their just powers` from the consent of the governed, That whenever`
any form of government becomes destructive of` these ends, it is the right of
the people to alter or` abolish it...”
“We, therefore, the Representatives of the ‘united` states of
America,’ in General Congress,` Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge` of
the world for the rectitude of our intentions,` do in the name, and by
authority of the good` people of these colonies, solemnly publish and` declare,
That these united Colonies are, and of` right ought to be free and independent
states...”
— Declaration of Independence`
Story of the Flag of the United States`
On June 3, 1777, an
unexpected petition was brought before` the Continental Congress assembled in
Philadelphia.
The sovereign
Indian nations had sent representatives to` acquire an “American Flag.” Though
they were prepared to` pay for it, offering up to three strings of wampum in`
exchange, the Founding Fathers were unable to oblige.
There’s probably no
way of knowing whether the Indian` representatives were astonished at the
refusal or whether` the Congress was embarrassed.
But it had been
eleven months since the Declaration of` Independence had been signed and
delivered to King George` III, almost a year since the United States had
declared` themselves to be a sovereign nation, and yet they were still` without
a national flag.
Eleven days later,
presumably as a result of the Indian` petition, the following resolution was
taken up and passed:` “Resolved that the Flag of the united states be 13
stripes` alternate red and white, that the Union be 13 stars, white in` a blue
field representing a new constellation.” The date was` June 14, 1777, and we
now celebrate the anniversary of that` event as “Flag Day.”
Whenever the
Founding Fathers understood that they would` be addressing future generations,
they took great care in` choosing their words. The flag resolution was no
exception.
The first two,
which were entered into the hand written` Congressional journal, got crossed
out. First they wrote that` the flag of the united States “consist” . . ., then
they wrote` that the flag of the united States “be distinguished by”. . .,`
then they wrote that the flag of the united States “be.”
The dictionary says
that such a grammatical construction is` used to “to express futurity,
prearrangement, or obligation.”
From their careful
wording, it would seem that they` intended to make the design of the flag
permanent. And 22` years later, when Kentucky and Vermont, having just joined`
the Union, also wanted representation on the Flag, that’s` just what many of them
said.
The date was
January 4, 1795, and a very heated debate took` place. It was argued that “if
Congress allowed the national` symbol to be altered, then Congress may go on
adding and` altering at this rate for one hundred years to come.”
It was thought that
changing the Flag would be a dange-rous` precedent and that the Flag “ought be
permanent.” But` others said that these objections were a “consummate piece` of
frivolity,” and a “trifling piece of business, that the new` states should not
be “offended,” and that in the “national` interest” the Flag should be
compromised.
This opinion
prevailed and the Flag, the republic for which it` stands, and the Constitution
itself have been compromi-sed` ever since. Today the Flag has 50 stars, not 13,
the republic` for which it once stood for no longer exists, and in the` opinion
of the federal government, excepting in cases where` the most detestable crimes
of rape and murder are involved,` the Constitution no longer applies.
Articles of Confederation`
The “free and
independent states” so declared by the` Declaration of Independence did not
surrender their` sovereignty to the federal United States government when` the
Constitution for the usA was created. The Articles of` Confederation were
agreed to by Congress on November 15,` 1777. They were ratified and in force on
March 1, 1781.
“Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom and` independence,
and every Power, Jurisdiction and` right, which is not by this confederation
expressly` delegated to the United States...”
— Article II, Articles of Confederation`
The Articles of
Confederation and the Declaration of` Independence are prima facie evidence of
the sovereign` right of the sovereign “state” Citizen to create and abolish`
governments at will, that the “united states of America” is` distinct from the
federal “United States” government, and` that Citizens have unalienable rights.
These are ordinances` within the “Law of Nations.”
The 1st
Constitution for the united states of America is a` trust document, an addendum
to the Articles of Confederation` to “make a more perfect Union” not to disband
the` Union of states. The relationship between the Articles of` Confederation
and the 1st Constitution is paramount as it illustrates` the distinctions of
Citizenship between the several` states, and the federal United States.
“The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all` Privileges
and Immunities of Citizens in the several` States.”
— Constitution for the usA [4:2:1]`
The federal United
States government is obligated to` recognize the rights, privileges and
immunities of the` sovereign “state” Citizens. The only exceptions to the`
acknowledgment of constitutionally protected rights,` privileges and immunities
are` 1. paupers;` 2. vagabonds; and` 3. fugitives from justice. The federal
United States government` has promised only to perform for sovereigns,`
freemen, the good, honest, hard working people.11` The
authors of the Articles of Confederation clearly refer to` the “states in the
Union,” “free inhabitants of each of these` states,” and “free citizens in the
several states.” The Articles` of Confederation didn’t limit the sovereignty of
the states.15`
The United States, in Congress
assembled, is still bound by` debts and engagements entered into before the
1st` Constitution for the united states of America. The 1st, 2nd and` 3rd Constitutions (distinctions forthcoming) were extensions`
of the original contract “to create a more perfect` Union,” not to dissolve the
Articles of Confederation.
“All debts contracted and engagements entered` into, before the
adoption of this Constitution, shall` be as valid against the United States
under this` Constitution, as under the Confederation.”
— Constitution for the usA, Article VI`
1st Constitution “for” the united states of` America`
There are a lot of
general misconceptions about the` Constitution. Historically, there were three
distinct national` and federal Constitutions — the 1st Constitution “for” the` united states of America, the 2nd Constitution “of” the united` states of America and the 3rd Constitution of the “United` States.”
The 1st Constitution established the national character of the`
new government based on the sovereignty of the sovereign` states and their
respective “state” Citizens.
The 2nd Constitution was an internal document of the federal`
United States, and included a Bill of Rights further limiting` the federal
government’s authority over the sovereignty of` the states and its respective
Citizens.
The 3rd Constitution was a coup d’etat of the 1st and 2nd` Constitutions
instituted after the Civil War, and removed a` key amendment from the 1st and 2nd Constitutions.
The sovereign
states were free and independent and created` the federal government to serve
their interests in very` limited areas:` 1. to provide for the common defense;`
2. to coin money, regulate the value thereof &` fix the standards of
weights and measures;` 3. to provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the`
securities and current coin of the United States;` 4. to constitute tribunals
inferior to the supreme Court;` 5. to make treaties with foreign nations;` 6.
to guarantee every state a republican` form of government.
There are many
deeply ingrained misconceptions about your` Constitution for the united states
of America.
We the People
assume that if you “reside” in the “United` States,” the Bill of Rights and due
process apply to you, that` U.S. citizens have the same rights as everybody
else.
We the People now
assume the Constitution gave us our` rights. These myths are absolutely not
so!` The Constitution did not give us any unalienable sovereign` rights. We the
People already had all the unalienable` sovereign rights we needed based on the
Common “law of` the land.”
The Constitution
limited the federal government and` reaffirms in the Bill of Rights that
sovereignty rests with We` the People and the sovereign states, not the
federal` government. The 9th and 10th Amendments state clearly that` any powers or authority not
delegated specifically to the` federal government were explicitly reserved to
the people` and the states.
“The enumeration in the Constitution of certain` rights shall
not be construed to deny or disparage` others retained by the people.”
— 9th Amendment` When the Constitutional College (i.e., Convention) (May 25,` 1787)
was called to create a new central government and` draft the 1st Constitution “for” the united states of America,` the
founding fathers knew they couldn’t trust any one` individual, colony or
religious sect with the power of a` central government.
They knew they
didn’t want the old ruler’s law whereby the` people had to submit to a central
government that had total` authority and power wielded by a supreme ruler or`
sovereign.
Strategically, the
founding fathers also had to have the` endorsement of the churches to
demonstrate the sovereignty` of the proposed new government to the world.
The only common
belief among the founding fathers was` that all of the colonies were “Canon Law
Trusts” organized` for the common benefit of the people.
The Constitution
for the usA began to take shape as a Canon` Law Trust. There would be three
“trustees,” the three` branches of government — the Judicial, Executive, and`
Legislative all to act under the ultimate sovereign — one` nation under God.
Individual
Sovereign = State Citizen = Elector`
All understood and
agreed that this new government and its` laws would not and could not eliminate
the laws and` covenants which had already been adopted by the colonies.
Those laws were the
“Common law” of England for selfgovernance,` and the “Canon law” for individual
liberties.
Thomas Jefferson is
credited with developing the new` government by having studied ancient
civilizations that lived` under the “People’s law” including Israel under
Moses, the` Anglo Saxons, and the Iroquois Confederacy.
Innovations
included an electoral college composed of` sovereign “state” Citizens, a county
sheriff whose oath is to` uphold the sovereignty of the state republics, the
county as` the seat of government and the Common law courts, and the`
foundation for home rule under a republican form of` government.16` “The way to have good
and safe government` is not to trust it all to the one, but to divide it` among
the many, distributing to everyone` exactly the functions in which he is
competent...
“To let the National Government be entrusted` with the defense
of the nation,` and its foreign and federal relations...
“The State Governments with the Civil Rights,` Laws, Police and
administration of what` concerns the State generally.
“The Counties with the local concerns, and each` ward direct the
interests within itself.
“It is by dividing and subdividing these` Republics from the
great national one` down through all its subordinations` until it ends in the
administration` of everyman’s farm by himself,` by placing under everyone what
his own eye may` superintend, that all will be done for the best.”
— Thomas Jefferson` All government in the united states of America was based on` the
principle of “home rule.” A township was the most` powerful and smallest unit
of government formed from the` sovereignty of the individual, and the one
closest to home.
Then came the
county, state and federal governments, all of` which derived their power and
authority directly from the` consent of the sovereign “state” Citizens. This is
a historical` and legal fact that must be the premise for all government`
power, authority and jurisdiction.
SOVEREIGN
INDIVIDUAL` TOWNSHIP` COUNTY` STATE` NATIONAL / FEDERAL`
The Constitution is
a commercial contract or compact` between the sovereign states to create a
United States` corporation in the District of Columbia (D.C.) to facilitate`
commerce, international and interstate trade, to serve the` states limited
needs for a national government, and to` provide for the national defense by
maintaining a navy.
“[the federal United States] is a for profit` corporation which
16 Stat. 419 created by the` name District of Columbia”
— District of Columbia vs. Cluss,` 103 U.S. 705, 26L. Ed. 455`
The drafting of the
articles of the 1st
Constitution for the` united states
of America was going well until Rhode Island` demanded that the 1st Constitution include a “Bill of` Rights” (1791), a
“contract” between the sovereign people` and their new federal United States
government providing` more prima facie evidence that the “state” Citizens are`
indeed sovereign.
At the first
session of Congress, 189 amendments to the` original draft were submitted, 12
were approved by` Congress, and 10 were ratified (i.e., accepted) by the
original` states (i.e., 13 colonies). The Bill of Rights is the first 10`
Amendments, organic Common law, and is modeled after` the English “Petition of
Rights” (1618).
The Bill of Rights
did not amend anything in the 1st` Constitution,
except that it recognized the collective powers` of the sovereign people to
place a limitation upon the powers` of the new government.
2nd Constitution of the united states of America`
The 2nd Constitution of the united states of America — a`
Constitution “of” the new government, was established side` by side with the 1st Constitution “for” the united states of` America.
It limited the
International Law Merchants power and authority` under Admiralty / Maritime law
to deny unalienable` rights to the people who choose not to join with them in`
joint, commercial ventures. It also limited and bound the officers` of the new
government to the “law of the land.”
The 2nd Constitution of the united states of America is a`
commercial contract, not a social agreement, and was a` continuation of the
already existing, International Merchant-` State.
A 3rd Constitution of the United States was instituted under`
martial law after the Civil War (1868 - 1871).
The 2nd Constitution for the united states of America is a`
“federal government employee handbook” intended to limit` the federal
government’s ability to encroach upon the` unalienable rights of the sovereign
“state” Citizens, and the` sovereign states of the republic.
The Constitution
authorized the creation of both a national` and a federal, corporate
government.
“People of a state are entitled to all rights` which formerly
belonged to the king` by his prerogative.”
— Lansing vs. Smith, 21 D.89` The federal United States Inc. was created from the state of`
Virginia and Maryland who ceded land to found the new` seat of the federal
government.
A small,
brotherhood-backed elite group of property owners` with ties to European Power
structures conspired in secret,` without the direct consent of the other 4
million sovereign` “state” Citizens, to create the expanded federal government`
via the federal Constitution.
“No private person has a right to complain, by suit` in court,
on the ground of a breach of the` Constitution. The Constitution it is true, is
a` compact, but he is not a party to it. The states are` party to it.”
— supreme Court of Georgia,` Padelford, Fay & Co. vs. Mayor
and Alderman,` City of Savannah, 14 Ga. 438,520 (1854)`
The sovereign states,
not the sovereign “state” Citizens were` direct “parties” to the Constitution.
Without sovereign states` represented in the U.S. Congress and sovereign
“state” Citizens there is no Constitution for the united states of` America,
only the Constitution of the united states of` America, and the 3rd Constitution of the United States` instituted after the
Civil War.
This 3rd Constitution altered the original two Constitutions` by
removing the original 13th Amendment
prohibiting` officers and citizens of the United States from accepting any`
Titles of Nobility.
All taxes to the
federal government had to be apportioned` directly from the states. The federal
government has never` had any authority to directly tax a sovereign “state”
Citizen` unless it was apportioned through each state. The federal` government
had to “beg” from the sovereign states to raise` revenue, or sell bonds
directly to the Citizens.
The only authority
the federal government has ever had to` tax is through excise taxes built into
the cost of all consumer` goods used in interstate commerce or through tariffs
for` international trade (Even today the income tax is an excise` and the 16th Amendment gave the federal government no` new taxing
authority.).15`
“We
the People of the United States,` in Order to form a more perfect Union,`
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,` provide for the common
defense,` promote the general Welfare,` and secure the Blessings of Liberty` to
ourselves and our Posterity,` do ordain and establish this` Constitution for
the united states of America.”
— Preamble, Constitution for the usA`
How does our
present-day national and federal government` actually operate? Instead of a
republic “of the people, by the` people, and for the people”— our legislative
democracy is run` “by the lawyers, for the international bankers, and paid by`
the taxpayers.”
Today, our federal
U.S. government employees serve their` own self-interest while in office,
meanwhile creating reams` of statutory law and chartering corporations that
rule and` subjugate the former sovereign “state” Citizens who have` unwittingly
become “U.S. citizens.” Whatever happened to` all those unalienable rights?
Whatever happened to your` sovereignty? When did you last read your
Constitution?
Editor’s
Note: Support Annual Citizenship Day &` Constitution Week, @September
17th-23rd`
The fact is that
only sovereign, “state” Citizens in a sovereign` state have a Constitution,
Bill of Rights and due process` under the American law. And there are very few
Americans` who are still sovereign and free.
Unless we swell the
ranks of sovereign “state” Citizens and` repatriate into the united states of
America, the American` Common “law of the the land,” our Constitution and Bill
of` Rights won’t be able to stand much longer, and our beloved` nation will be
gone forever.
The Constitution is
powerless in a federal zone or area under` the exclusive legislative democracy
of the federal United` States OR the foreign powers operating therein. It can
only` limit the federal government for sovereign “state” Citizens in` sovereign
states.
If you live in the
District of Columbia, an unincorporated` U.S. territory, in any federal zone or
area, or are a U.S. citizen, then you have no Constitution or Bill of Rights.
"...Congress is not subject to the same` constitutional
limitations [within the federal zone],` as when it is legislating for the
united states [of` America]...”
— Hooven & Allison Co. vs. Evatt, 324 U.S. 652` (1945)`
A lot of people
complain that it’s too much effort, it doesn’t` make any difference, or that
you’ll become a government` target if you become a sovereign “state” Citizen.
Freedom is` not for whiners. Given the tyrannical de facto government` that is
presently in power, it may be true. But someone,` somewhere has to draw the
line in the sand and place the` necessary checks and balances back on the
government, or` we’ll be forever surrendering our precious rights and`
liberties.
“Giving money and power to government is like` giving whiskey
and car keys to teenage boys.”
— P.J. O’Rourke 20`
If you’re unwilling
to take responsibility and take the necessary` steps toward reclaiming your
sovereign Citizenship,` then don’t complain that you don’t have any “rights.”
You cannot be a
U.S. Citizen, receive benefits, privileges,` subsidies and welfare, and still
expect to have your` unalienable sovereign rights. It doesn’t work that way.
You’re either IN or
you’re OUT. You cannot be half pregnant` either.
So my friend, what
happens when suddenly the benefits are` gone, you’re left holding the bag, and
the bag is empty. If` you want to restore a constitutional republic, you’ll
have to` do what it takes to reclaim your sovereign “state” Citizenship. Take the time to study American
history and` law. Get educated while you can still afford the books and`
seminars!` In 1998, the Constitution is still the “law of the land” for the`
united states of America. Unfortunately, it is not law that is` commonly
practiced, respected or honored either by U.S. citizens, by your elected
representatives, or by the so-called` justice system. Elected officials are
bound to an oath of` allegiance to the Constitution before they can execute
their` office. But very few practice that oath, nor do they legally file` their
oaths as required by law. There is a lot of lip service` being paid to the
Constitution when it suits them in the` media, but very little action. Read the
Constitution. Teach it` in school.
There is much
debate and controversy about the calling of a` “Constitutional Convention
(i.e., Con-Con).” The proposed` Constitution for the New States of America
would brush` aside the Constitution of the united states of America and`
substitute 10 regional governments under United Nations` control. This must
never happen! Stand up for your rights.17` “Everyone wants to live at the expense of the` State. They
forget that the State lives at the` expense of everyone.”
— Frederic Bastiat`
Two Distinct Jurisdictions in America`
There are two
distinct systems of government operating in` the united states of America, each
with its own venue and` jurisdiction — one is a Republic and the other is a`
Democracy.
They are like
parallel universes occupying the same` geographical space, but not at the same
time. The first` distinct government is the “Union of states,” the “united`
states of America,” or the “48 states.”
This is the
non-domestic, “National government” operating` on behalf of the American
National or sovereign “state” Citizen.
This is the Republic.
NATIONAL =
REPUBLIC` “The [federal] United States government is a` foreign
corporation with respect to a state.”
— In re Merriam, 36 NE 505, 141 N.Y. 479,` affirmed 16 S. Ct.
1073, 163 U.S. 625, 41 L.Ed. 287`
The other distinct
government is the federal “United States,”
consisting of the 63 square miles of the District of Columbia` (D.C.)
and any unincorporated territory of less than 100` square miles (e.g. Puerto
Rico, Virgin Islands, Northern` Mariana Islands, Guam and American Samoa). This
is the` domestic, “Federal government.” This is the Democracy.
FEDERAL /
CORPORATE = DEMOCRACY`
There are at least
three different legal meanings of the term` “United States.” The “States” of
the “United States” are not` the same as the “states” of the “48 states” of the
united states` of America. Each meaning implies a distinct country, with a`
distinct citizenship and jurisdiction.
Editor’s
Note: Hawai’i and Alaska are special cases as are` a number of other states
(i.e., Republic of Texas)— thus we` only refer to the 48 continguous states of
the Union.
“...The term ‘United States’ may be used in one of` several
senses. It may be merely the name of a` sovereign occupying the position
analogous to that` of sovereign in a family of nations [e.g. United` Nations].
It may designate territory over which sovereignty` of the United
States extends [federal United` States], or it may be a collective name of the`
states which are united by and under the` Constitution [48 states]...”
— Hooven & Allison Co. vs. Evatt` 324 uS 652, pg. 672 &
673 (1945)`
The “48 states” are
sovereign, foreign countries with regard` to the federal “United States.” The
“States” of the “United` States” are not the same as the “states” of the “48
states” of` the united states of America. Which government is acting on` your
behalf? Of which country are you a citizen?
“The term ‘foreign country’ when used in a` geographical sense
includes any territory` under the sovereignty of a government` other than that
of the [federal] United States.”
— 26 CFR 1.911-2(h)` Remember that the federal “United States” was created and` limited
by the authority and power vested in the` Constitution. Pursuant to the
Constitution, the federal` “United States” has no jurisdiction outside of the
63 miles of` the District of Columbia, or any unincorporated territories`
purchased by treaty except where jurisdiction has been` extended by contract.21` “To exercise exclusive
Legislation in all Cases` whatsoever over such District (not exceeding ten`
miles square) ...and to exercise like Authority over` all Places purchased by
the Consent of the` Legislature...
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and` proper for
carrying into Execution` the foregoing Powers.”
— Constitution for the usA [1:8:17]` “The Congress shall have the
Power to dispose of` and make all needful Rules and Regulations` respecting the
Territory of other Property` belonging to the [federal] United States.”
— Constitution for the usA [4:3:2]`
“No two nations can
be sovereign over the same territory at` the same time. There can never be some
territory over which` both a state and the federal United States both exercise`
sovereignty. Joint government perhaps, but not sovereignty.
When a federal
territory enters the Union as a sovereign` state (e.g., Oregon), there occurs a
transfer of sovereignty,` from the federal United States government to the new
state` government.” Those born in Oregon before its 1859` admission into the
Union were U.S. citizens, while those` born and qualified in Oregon after
admission are Oregon` “state” Citizens.
Kingdom of
Hawai’i` The Kingdom of
“Hawai’i” is a special case exception as it` was already a nation recognized by
the international` community before the Executive branch was overthrown by`
military occupation of the federal United States in 1893. It is` an irregular
federal State not counted as one of the states of` the Union.22`
Republic of
Texas` The Republic of
Texas was also an independent nation` before its annexation into the Union, and
has just reclaimed it’s independent nation status by forming a provisional`
government.
Both Alaska and
Hawai’i entered the Union after the federal` government had declared bankruptcy
thus had no judicial` capacity to admit any States. Switzerland is the oldest`
republic in the world and is still governed the way the united` states of
America was at the beginning of our country. Her` cantons, like our sovereign
states, still rule the country.23` The U.S. Congress
is the exclusive legislative and sovereign` authority for the District of Columbia
(D.C.) and any` unincorporated United States territories. The Constitution is`
powerless within the jurisdiction of federal United States or` any part of any
federal area or federal zone. U.S. citizens` residing in federal areas within
the sovereign states are` subject to the federal United States.
“...That we have in this country... two national` governments;
one to be maintained under the` Constitution, with all its restrictions [on
federal` government power]; the other to be maintained by` Congress outside and
independently of...[the` Constitution]...”
— Downes vs. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244 (1901)` “Our national
Congress works for two nations` foreign to each other...one is the Union of`
sovereign states, under the Constitution...the other` is a Legislative
Democracy which has its origin in` Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the
Constitution.. the federal United
States.”
— Howard Freeman 24`
Sovereign Union states of the republic`
In the united states
of America, We the People are the` sovereign power not the federal, State,
County or Municipal` governments. The government was created to serve the`
sovereignty, not to overthrow it.
The sovereignty of
the people cannot be abrogated by laws` or statutes.
Before the
Constitution was created by the sovereign states,` there were no Citizens
except the sovereign “state” Citizens` of the thirteen (13) colonies, now 48
state republics of the` united states of America.
Prior to the 14th Amendment (1868), there were no U.S. citizens. There were
no citizens of the United States who` were not Citizens of their respective
Union state. As recently` as 1988, Congress still referred to each of the
individual` states of the Union as countries.
“Persons in the [Union] state not its citizens are` either:` (a)
Citizens of other [Union] states; or` (b) Aliens [federal U.S. citizens].”
— Title 1 U.S.C. § 242`
The 10th Amendment is not a general presumption, but a` prohibitory
rule of law. Powers not specifically granted to` the federal United States
government are strictly forbidden.
Federal
grants-in-aid and other federal programs forced` upon the sovereign states as a
matter of “do it or else” policy` in the areas of agriculture, education,
welfare, national security,` health-care, etc., have always been beyond the
constitutional` authority of the federal United States government,` and cannot,
by law, be imposed on the sovereign states, except` under a perpetual national
state of emergency (which` has been in effect since 1933).25` “The powers not
delegated to the [federal]` United States by the Constitution, nor` prohibited
by it to the states, are reserved` to the states respectively, or to the
people.”
— 10th Amendment, Constitution for the usA`
S297
Assignment of judges to courts of the freely` associated compact states...
(a) The Congress
consents to the acceptance and` retention by any judge so authorized of
reimbursement` from the countries referred..— Title 28, §297 26` (b) The Chief Justice...may assign any circuit or
district` judge...to serve temporarily as a judge of any duly` constituted
court of the freely associated compact` states...
Over time, the
federal United States government has slowly,` and intentionally, along with its
foreign principals /` creditors, encroached upon the sovereignty of the state
republics` and their respective “state” Citizens through the` tyranny of
deception, misrepresentation of the law, outright` manipulation of the
political, economic and legal systems,` and by coup d’etat. Encroachments of
state sovereignty` have been ongoing since the inception of the republic.
The sovereign
states and “state” Citizens have also voluntarily` surrendered many of their
sovereign rights through` their willing and naive acceptance of federal United
States` government benefits, entitlements and subsidies.
The sovereign
states can, by contract, waive their sovereign` rights just as “state” Citizens
do, by accepting federal grant` “money” and mandates. This has been the carrot
pulling the` horse toward a gradual erosion of sovereign rights in` exchange
for government granted privileges and centralized` control.
“Government is not sovereignty.
Government is the machinery or expedient` for expressing the
will of the sovereign power.”
— City of Bisbee vs. Cochise County,` 78 P.2d 982, 986, 52 Ariz.1`
State constitutions, like the
national and federal` Constitution, applies only to sovereign “state” Citizens.
Because Citizenship
is determined by the state, not the` federal government, foreigners (i.e., U.S.
citizens) to the` sovereign state republic are not “state” Citizens.
Therefore, if a
state has relinquished its “state” Citizens to` the federal United States
government, then its state` constitution is, in effect, without a constituency
and is moot.
“The states
relinquish jurisdiction only at their discretion` and under their conditions.” 27` The 17th Amendment (1914) of
the Constitution was aimed` directly at the erosion of state sovereignty. It
provided for` the direct election of U.S. Senators by the voters instead of`
the state legislatures appointing U.S. Senators.
The Constitution
had empowered the states with the veto` power to block acts of the U.S.
Congress by veto in the U.S. Senate. The 17th Amendment
effectively blocked all moves by` the states to curb the power grab of the
federal United States` government. No sovereign state has voted its approval,
or` veto, for any acts of the U.S. Congress since 1914.
The loss of state
sovereignty accelerated after the first` federal United States Inc., bankruptcy
(1933), the perpetual` declared national state of emergency and the State
Compact` Act (1934) whereby the states agreed to go off the gold` standard
despite all state constitutions forbidding foreign` notes and currency.
The sovereign
states continued to give away the powers to` administer Social Security (1939),
and the Courts of` Common Pleas (1938).
After the United
States Inc. went bankrupt again after WWII` (1944), the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) began` choosing the “Governors” of the 48 States and transferring`
what was left of state sovereignty to the foreign principals /` creditors of
the United States Inc.
Due to the
bankruptcy, all states formed State corporations` under the IMF (1968) thus
birthing the “State of California,”
“State of Oregon” versus “California state” and “Oregon` state” as
republican forms of government.28` Henceforth under
the Government Reorganization Acts, all` the states of the Union became one
administrative body under` judicial review, merging all three branches of
government` under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).
The states gave up
their independent Militia and National` Guard (1947), public highways (1956),
public education,` State banking and the State court system (1982), and` someday
health-care, except that the federal government` has run out of creditors to
fund the socialized program.29`
“The words ‘people of the United States’ and` ‘Citizen’ are
synonymous terms and mean the` same thing.
They both describe the political body who,` according to our
Republican institutes,` form the sovereignty and who hold the power and`
conduct the government through their` representatives.
They are what we familiarly call the sovereign` people, and
every Citizen is one of these people` and a constituent member of the
sovereignty.”
— supreme Court Decision, D.Scott case, 60 U.S. 393`
There are many
documented cases of irregularities in the admission` of various states (e.g.,
Ohio), states being admitted` as federal States not Union states (e.g., Alaska,
Hawai’i), the` amendments to state and federal constitutions, states having`
two different constitutions, elections that never happened,` missing amendments
etc.
That politics has
long been plagued with corruption and` deceit is a sobering reflection on our
times, and the history` preceding it.
The “California
republic” was admitted to the Union in 1849,` its state constitution ratified,
guaranteeing “allodial”
property rights to
all California “state” Citizens.
The “State of
California” incorporated for the first time in` 1879, wrote another state
constitution similar to the original` one, but never bothered to ratify this
constitution by its` “state” Citizens. This act illegally began the surrender
of the` sovereignty of the California republic to the federal United` States
government without the consent of its “state”
Citizens. Similar events and various kinds of treachery has` occurred in
other states. Once again, the people are asleep at` the wheel and not holding
their elected and appointed` representatives accountable.
The “Washington
Republic” had two state constitutions, the` first was written in 1879 and the
second was written in 1889,` and financed by the Rothschilds for $20,000.
It was never signed
by the governor, nor was it admitted by` Congress. The state was admitted
post-de facto into the` Union by Executive Order of the President in direct
violation` of the Constitution.
The Constitution
for the “Oregon Republic,” as ratified in` 1859, was purportedly lost for
nineteen years in the state` archives before another, not the original, was
mysteriously` found to replace it.
Ohio also entered
the Union post-de facto by Joint` Resolution 121, passed August 7, 1953, as
PL-204, Chapter` 337 admits the State of Ohio into the Union retroactive to`
March 1, 1803. The Resolution admitting “Ohio state” is an` opinion of
Congress, not public law, thus it is not limited by` the Constitution for the
usA.
Whether Ohio, as a
sovereign state was ever properly` admitted is moot. It’s the constitutional oath
that binds the` public officials of Ohio state into the federal United States`
government. Does anything in politics surprise you` anymore? 30` In a recent supreme Court Ruling, Chief Justice William H.
Rehnquist said that
the Constitution gives states sovereign` immunity from lawsuits in federal
courts, except those` involving civil rights.
The 5-4 ruling
marks the third time in five years that the` court has favored the states as
separate and sovereign` governments.
Sovereign
states Must Re-Appoint` U.S. Senators and Repeal 17th Amendment`
Each state
legislature must take the sovereign prerogative to` re-exercise its appointment
power and put itself back into` the equation of lawmaking. Introduced April 5,
1911, HJR 39 falsely proposed the ¾ rule applied to the passage of the 17th` Amendment.
Article V of the
Constitution for the united states of America` specifies that “no state without
its consent, shall be deprived` of its equal suffrage in the Senate.”
Those states did not
consent to give up their representation` at that time. Each state, to reenter
the Union of states under` the Constitution, must appoint U.S. Senators through
their` respective legislatures, ratified by the de jure governors of` those
states, and revoke the 17th Amendment.
This is part of the
provisional government process that is` being formulated in three states —
Colorado, Texas and` Oregon, and expanding to twenty-six this year.
This will put some
teeth into the resolutions of the twentysix` states who are using the Tenth
Amendment to fight` overgrown federal government, debauched money, taxation,`
Executive Orders, de facto judges, cabinets, and treaties like` NAFTA &
GATT. 31` The sovereign state republics have been giving away their`
power for a long time to the federal United States, since the` Enrollment Act
(1863) during the Civil War.
Thus, We the People
must restore the state republics by reclaiming` our “state” Citizenship, repeal
the 17th Amendment` of the Constitution, reappoint senators to the
U.S. Congress` via the state legislatures, refuse all federal grants and
mandates,` stop accepting foreign bills of exchange (i.e., FRN’s)` and restore
a constitutional money system.
We the People must
also reconstitute the electors of each` state republic, elect de jure governors
and representatives,` and see to the appointment of judges who will uphold the`
Constitution and defend our sovereignty.
“...a state has the same undeniable and unlimited` jurisdiction
over all persons and things within its` territorial limits, as any foreign
nation...”
— New York vs. Miln, 36 U.S. 102(1837)`
Corporate Federal States & the Buck Act`
There are two
distinct political entities within each state` republic, just as there is both
a national and federal character` to the United States government. One
political entity is` republican, while the other is corporate and federal.
The “State of
California,” like all the other incorporated` States, with “State” in capital
letters, became a “federal` enclave” pursuant to the Buck Act of 1940 when it
began` receiving federal grants and mandates.
Thus the corporate
and federal “State of California” became` an extension of the exclusive
legislative democracy of the` District of Columbia, and falls under federal
jurisdiction and` authority (until being reorganized under International`
Monetary Fund jurisdiction and authority in 1968).
Although both
political entities may appear to occupy the` same geographical territory, the
“residents,” “persons,” or` “franchisees” of the federal State of California
are distinct` from the sovereign “state” Citizens of “California state,” with`
“state” in small letters, or the “Republic of California.”
Residents, persons
or franchisees are also considered the` property of the federal government. They
cannot hold title` or own real property.
A corporation
cannot have “citizens,” but it can have` “persons” which are legal fictions,
“residents” and` “franchisees (thus the Franchise Tax Board).”
In the corporate
“State of California,” real estate can be` equitably titled to a legal fiction
(e.g., a person or` corporation), wherein in the “Republic of California” only`
living human beings can hold allodial title to land and` property.
To which
“State/state” are we presently electing governors` and legislators? Presently,
we are electing de facto` Governors to the corporate State as Governors of the`
International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Editor’s
Note: Aaron Russo and Hoppy Heidelberg are` running for Governor of Nevada and
Oklahoma respectively.
Simultaneously,
sovereign “state” Citizens should be electing` de jure governors to the
republic. Governor Eric Madsen is` the lawfully elected, de jure governor of
Colorado state. He` was elected by the electors (i.e., allodial property owners
in` Colorado). 32`
By what authority does the federal
United States` government corporation have to extend its jurisdiction over` the
“states” and install a “de facto” government? 27` The
Buck Act (1940), codified as 4 UCS §105-113,` accomplished this by supplanting
state law with federal law` and jurisdiction, abducting all sovereign “state”
Citizens` through various adhesion contracts, and relocating them in` federal
“State” enclaves (except Indians, not otherwise` taxed; 4 U.S.C.§ 109).
Federal enclaves & bankruptcy doesn’t apply to Indians.
This is one of the
nuts and bolts schemes that laid the` groundwork for the “shadow government,”
National` Security State and foreign rule over almost all Americans` today.
The Buck Act
authorized any department of the federal` government to create a “federal area
or enclave” (e.g. federal` sobriety checkpoints, SSA areas, public housing
federally` funded, federally funded highways, public schools) for` imposition
of the Public Salary Tax Act (1939).
The Buck Act is a
municipal law of the District of Columbia` for taxing all federal and State
government employees, and` those who live and work in any “federal area”
(includes all` two-letter “State” abbreviations like CA, OR, TX, etc.)` Thus
the corporate, federal “State” has shadowed the “de` jure” or lawful government
of the “state,” and replaced it` with the exclusive legislative authority of
the federal United` States government corporation. These references concur`

10th Amendment State’s Rights`
Today, the 48
sovereign state republics have exchanged virtually` all of their sovereignty
for federal grants and mandates.
In a desperate effort
to reclaim their sovereignty 26` federal States have passed or introduced
“Sovereignty Resolutions” to reassert 10th Amendment rights.
They do not realize
that the corporate Federal State is as` distinct from the state republic as the
federal corporation is` distinct from the national government.
To reassert state
sovereignty requires sovereign “state” Citizens` domiciled in the state, a
lawfully established “electoral` college” electing a legitimate legislature,
state representation` in the U.S. Congress via the appointment of U.S.
Senators,` and the re-introduction of lawful “money.”
Otherwise there is
no state republic or state constitution.
Without “state”
Citizens and the aforementioned` infrastructure, state sovereignty is a moot
issue.
The corporate
States are threatened with extinction when` the final bankruptcy of the federal
United States corporation` is declared (just like the Soviet Union folks), and
the States` are dissolved in the New World Order and replaced with` regional,
international governments. Some of the corporate` States are catching wind of
the massive reorganization of` power happening in the united states of America,
and` resisting further federal and international encroachment.
“Congress may not simply commandeer the` legislative &
regulatory processes of the States.”
— supreme Court decision,` New York vs. U.S., 1125 Ct.2408
(1992)`
Threatened by the
shift of power, some “State” legislatures` are making an important defensive
move in resisting` continued federal encroachment upon their sovereignty.
The States must
also stop accepting federal grants and` entitlements if they are serious, and
not just paying lip` service, to reclaiming state sovereignty. Some “States”
we’re` aware of include: Colorado, Oklahoma, California, Missouri,` Hawai’i,
Illinois, Utah, Idaho, Washington, New Mexico,` Nevada, Wyoming, Oregon.34` Colorado passed House Joint Resolution 94-1035, and`
deputized their Citizens to prevent the federal government` from coming into
the State.
The resolutions
have been primarily motivated by federal` land management policy whereby the
federal government` has been taking both private and state property without`
compensation or due process, based on environmental laws` and other hidden
directives of the foreign powers executing` a bankruptcy on the American
people.
Colorado passed the
first State sovereignty legislation` refuting federal mandates, which would
include Executive` Orders of the President. After 130 years of encroachment,`
it’s about time, although a bit too little too late. Without an` educated and
responsible Citizenry willing to reclaim the` sovereignty of the state republic
and its “state” Citizens,` these efforts of the corporate State to protect its
eroding` power base will be futile.
This is a window of
opportunity for sovereignty and Citizenship` issues to come to the forefront of
our consciousness.
And perhaps, We the
People will reclaim our sovereignty` and the state republics will be
re-empowered as well.
Oklahoma’s House
Resolution #1047 entitled U.S. Military` Forces Under U.N. Authority takes a
stand against the` presence of U.S. military in U.N. operations and petitioned`
Congress to cease providing funding for military operations` not authorized by
Congress; to cease participation in` military activity under U.N. authority; to
cease rendering aid` to any activity under U.N. jurisdiction; and to cease
support` for the establishment of a New World Order or any form of` world
government.
In the wording of the Oregon Senate Joint Resolution 3:` “We, the Sixty-eighth Legislative Assembly of the State of` Oregon,
in legislative session assembled, respectfully declare` as follows:...the Tenth
Amendment defines the total scope of` federal power as being that specifically
granted by the` Constitution for the usA and no more; and... the scope of`
power defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the` Federal Government was
created by the states specifically to` be an agent of the states;` and...the
states are in fact treated as agents of the Federal` Government;
and...memorials have been forwarded to the` Federal Government by the Oregon
Legislative Assembly` without any response or result from Congress or the
Federal` Government; and...many federal mandates are directly in` violation of
the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the` United States; and...that
Congress may not simply` commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of
the` states; and...a number of proposals...would further violate` the
Constitution for the usA;` now, therefore— Be it Resolved by the Legislative
Assembly` of the State of Oregon: (1) That the State of Oregon hereby` claims
sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the` Constitution of the United States
over all other powers not` otherwise enumerated and granted to the Federal`
Government by the Constitution for the usA. (2) That the` Federal Government,
as our agent, is hereby instructed to` cease and desist, effective immediately,
mandates that are` beyond the scope of its constitutionally delegated power...”
Sovereign, American Nationals AND Sovereign` “state” Citizens`
Prior to the
Constitution and before the Civil War, there was` only one class of Citizenship
in the united states of America` — an American National, Citizen of a Union
state or a` sovereign “state” Citizen.
There was no
federal Citizenship of the Union. One was first` a natural-born Citizen of a
state. We the People are all` sovereign “state” Citizens, free inhabitants, or
sui juris` freeman / women of the state in which we are “domiciled,” unless there is evidence to the contrary
(e.g. any adhesion` contract with the corporate, federal United States`
government).31`
“The
individual may stand upon his` constitutional rights as a [state] Citizen.
He is entitled to carry on` his private business in his own way.
His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no` duty to the
state or to his neighbors to divulge his` business, or to open his door to an
investigation,` so far as it may tend to incriminate him.
He owes no such duty to the state, since` he receives nothing
therefrom, beyond the` protection of his life and property. His rights` are
such as existed by the law of the land` long antecedent to the organization` of
the State.
..He owes nothing to the public so long` as he does not trespass
upon their rights.”
— Hale vs. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 (1905)`
>
INHABITANT— one who resides actually and` permanently in a given place, and has
his/her` domicile there.
> DOMICILE—
an individual’s permanent home or` principal establishment; one can have many`
“residences,” but only one legal domicile; for living` human beings.
>
RESIDENCE— corporate address of a legal fiction` or “person”; your home or
business address is` considered the “residence” of a legal fiction` originally registered
in your “Name” via your birth` certificate; implies more than a physical
presence` and less than a domicile.
“In all elections...by this Constitution,` every [white male]*
citizen of the United States` ...shall be entitled to vote...”
— Article 2, Section 2, Oregon Constitution 32` Historically, white male property owners were the
original` sovereign “state” Citizens. All other people were either` considered
property, slaves, Indians, or “wards of the state.”
Women and slaves
were property. Slave traders were` forbidden in America by colonial law until
1661.
During the slave
trading years in the Americas, 111,000,000` blacks were captured and only
10,000,000 survived the` journey to the colonies. Blacks who had been baptized
as` Christians could not be enslaved under British laws, so they` were instead
defined as “indentured servants.” 36` Blacks
could not be Citizens of the United States unless a` sovereign state would
naturalize them.
Indigenous American
people, or Indians were considered` “wards of the state” and could not be
Citizens of the United` States.
Prior to 1868,
Americans didn’t consider themselves U.S. citizens, anymore than Americans
today consider` themselves to be U.N. citizens (although the latter is more`
true than we’d like to believe).37` The Constitution
created the District of Columbia (D.C.) and` the federal United States. Prior
to 1868, there were no U.S. citizens.
Even in the
District of Columbia, the people residing there` were considered Citizens of
their respective states. Not until` after the Civil War and the 14th (or 15th) Amendment was`
passed under martial law, was the U.S. citizen created.
A natural-born
American is not a U.S. citizen unless born or` naturalized in the federal
United States, and/or a resident of` the District of Columbia (D.C.), and/or a
resident of a` federal enclave, zone, or area (e.g., the corporate State of`
Oregon), thus subject to federal jurisdiction.
“Both before and after the 14th Amendment...,` it has
not been necessary for a person to be a` citizen of the [federal] United States
in order to be` a Citizen of his [Union] state...
Under our complex system of government,` there may be a Citizen
of a [Union] state,` who is not a citizen of the [federal] United States` in
the full sense of the term...”
— Cross vs. Board of Supervisors of Elections, 221` A.2d431`
“...No man was a citizen of the united states [of` America] except as he was a
[white] Citizen of one` of the states composing the Union. Those,` therefore,
who had been born and resided in the` District of Columbia or in its [federal]
territories,` though` within the united states [of America], were not` [Union]
Citizens [since they weren’t state` Citizens]...”
— 83 U.S. (16 Wall.) 36;21L.Ed 394 38
While the 13th amendment36 emancipated the
newly freed` Black slaves from physical slavery they were offered no` sovereign
“state” Citizenship, no unalienable or` constitutional rights, and no civil
rights either.
“Freedom” without
Citizenship or rights was without merit` and quite pointless. The newly freed
Black freeman were at` the mercy of the white male “state” Citizens and the
racist` public laws of most of the several states, although New York` and
Virginia had opened the door to Black freemen to` become full sovereign “state”
Citizens prior to the 14th` Amendment.
The 14th Amendment was fraudulently passed and imposed` upon the
sovereign states after the Civil War and the defeat` of the South.
The 14th Amendment created another class of Citizenship— `
corporate “persons,” which are legal fictions, born or` naturalized in the
federal United States.
This “U.S.
citizenship” offered the newly freed Black slaves` “civil rights,” not the
unalienable rights of a sovereign or` constitutional rights.
The surviving
sovereign white male Citizens of the South` became “prisoners of war,” and
could not reenter the Union` except as U.S. citizens loyal to the federal
government with` the same second-class status as the former slaves. When` women
were finally given the “civil right” to vote, they` became naturalized U.S.
citizens, the same status as the` former slaves.
Neither Black
freemen, nor women were given sovereign,` unalienable, constitutional rights.
Those rights were now` reserved for the sovereign, white male “state” Citizens
of the` North and West and the emerging sovereign Power` structure in America.
As Black Americans
have long understood living in a` fundamentally racist society, they didn’t get
“equal rights” with whites after their
so-called emancipation. Racism is` one of the paramount issues, which has
brought the great` ideals of the American republic to its knees, and destroyed`
the integrity of the united states of America. Now you know` why.37` “People of African
descent are not and cannot be` citizens of the United States and cannot sue in
any` court of the United States.”
— Chief Justice, Roger Tany, supreme Court (1857)` The passage of the 14th Amendment,
however unlawfully and` fraudulently done, was the beginning of a strategy and`
constructive fraud that continues to this very day— to make` U.S. citizens of
all Americans without our informed` knowledge or consent, and rob us of our
birthright as free` and sovereign people.
First the Black
slaves, then the southern white males, then` the women and finally the northern
white males after the` Great Depression surrendered their sovereignty and
rights` to the federal United States government.
Our morally weak
and ethically deficient United States` government, and our duly elected
representatives have been` easy prey for both domestic and foreign Power
structures` who have used the supremacy clause of the Constitution,` and other
hooks and tricks, to undermine the basis of our` sovereignty and rob us of our
lawful rights and Citizenship.
Those individuals,
families, and businesses who understood` sovereignty, Citizenship and the law,
retained their unalienable` and constitutional rights, and became much of the`
sovereign Power structure as we know it in America today.
“There is no such thing as a citizen of the United` States. One
must first be a Citizen of a state, and` by reason of this Citizenship one is
then a citizen of` the united states [of America].”
— Ex Parte Frank Knowles, 5 Cal. Reports 300` (1855)`
If you were born in
and are a free inhabitant any of the 48` sovereign states, or moved from a
federal territory to one of` the 48 sovereign states, you have the unalienable
right to` choose to reclaim your sovereign “state” Citizenship.
No government can take
away this right by any law or` statute. You have the right to determine which
laws and` which country you’ll live under. You can leave the “Republic” for the “Democracy,” and vice versa.
The newly freed
Black slaves, women, indigenous American` people, and the born or naturalized
U.S. citizen have the` right to reclaim their sovereign “state” Citizenship,
and` restore the Constitution and Bill of Rights as the law of the` land.
Even if you were
born in Puerto Rico or the District of` Columbia (D.C.) as a federal U.S.
citizen, then moved to the` “Republic of California” or any of the 48 sovereign
states,` you have the right to reclaim your sovereign “state” Citizenship.
It’s important to
understand the dual character and nature` of our lawful “diversity of
citizenship.”40`
“In
our country the people are sovereign and the` government cannot sever its
relationship to the` people by taking away their citizenship.”
— Richards vs. Sec. of State, 752 F2d at 1418` “Citizenship of
the United States does not entitle` citizen of privileges and immunities of
citizen of` state, since privileges and immunities of one are` not the same as
the other.”
— Tashiro vs. Jordan, 256 P 545.
The government
cannot take away your lawful Citizenship,` but the sovereign “state” Citizen of
any of the 48 sovereign` states has the right to elect, volunteer, or waive
their rights by` entering into a contract. Our right to contract is unlimited.
Most Americans
became U.S. citizens by entering into a` contract with the government. This is
how We the People` lost our lawful Citizenship, our Constitution and Bill of`
Rights and ultimately our country.
We the People
unknowingly and unwillingly “elected” away` our sovereignty in exchange for
government privileges (e.g.,` social security, federal employment, negotiable
instruments,` public highways, public utilities, government services,` limited
liability for payment of debt etc.). Often this` “election” occurred under
threat, duress or coercion (i.e.,` tdc) by some branch of government, insisting
that we must.
Often we have not
been told what our choices and options` are. An “election” is always, by
definition, a voluntary act.
To act voluntarily
one must have full possession of ones` faculties and be fully informed as to
the nature and` implications of the contract.
“Thus, the dual character of our citizenship is made` plainly
apparent. That is to say, a citizen of the` United States is ipso facto and at
the same time a` Citizen of the state in which he resides.
And while the Fourteenth Amendment does not` create a national
citizenship, it has the effect of` making that citizenship ‘paramount and
dominant’` instead of ‘derivative and dependent’ upon` state Citizenship.”
— Colgate vs. Harvey,` 296 U.S. 404, 427; 80 L., Ed, 299 (1935) 41`
There is a great
responsibility that accompanies being a` sovereign Citizen. Not only must one
be fully and completely` responsible for oneself, but also for ones thoughts,
words` and deeds.
Sovereign Citizens
must be spiritually, mentally, emotionally,` politically, economically and
legally responsible for their lives,` and the lives of their families, children
and communities.
Sovereignty begins
in the heart and soul of a man or woman,` a full-grown adult with the maturity
and intelligence to` make his/her own decisions, and accept the consequences
of` such actions. Sovereignty is an attitude, and a way of life.
This is a call for
all who are ready, willing and able to accept` the challenge of rediscovering
your own power, and limiting` the usurpation of that power by the government.
“If we don’t hang together,` we shall surely hang separately.”
— Benjamin Franklin`
Sovereign Citizens
accept the duty to come to the aid of` other sovereigns in distress.
This is known as
the mutual defense of unalienable rights.
Alone we cannot
defend our rights, our bodies, or our` property. Only when we join forces, do
we stand a chance of` protecting what’s ours.
This is our vision
of a new nation of sovereign “state”
Citizens reclaiming what is lawfully ours. Leaders wanted!` Apply
within.42` Fortunately, part of this fraud has been unraveled, too.
By` legal definition, found in the Immigration and Nationality` Act at 8 USC
§1101(a)(22), all Americans are nationals of the` United States, with the
United States citizen-subject class` being a minor category within the
universal category` "national of the United States.”
SOVEREIGN
“STATE” CITIZEN` AMERICAN NATIONAL`
If an individual
born in the united states of America does` NOT have a birth certificate issued
by one of the federal` States, has not contracted for government benefits,`
privileges or licenses, has NOT been issued a social security` numbers or
taxpayer I.D. number, and has NOT naturalized` into the federal United States,
then:` 1. he or she is a sovereign “state” Citizen (with a capital` “C”) of the
state republic where he or she is presently` domiciled, or` 2. retains the
status of a “national of the United States” in` the original state republic
where he or she was born` whether or not he or she is presently domiciled
there.43` U.S. citizenship is an impaired and diminished status
that` must be remedied to reclaim your inherent American` sovereignty.
The courts have
ruled that “U.S. citizenship” is not` “citizenship” at all, but a contractual nexus
with the federal` United States government corporation, in exchange for`
benefits or privileges. As a “U.S. citizen,” you are an officer` or employee of
a government corporation.
Editor’s
Note: Form 1040 is for government officers and` employees only.
As a U.S. citizen
you are the chattel and property of the` government corporation and they have
the statutory right to` regulate, control, and tax you. U.S. citizenship is a
voluntary` adhesion contract.
Once you have made a
choice and rescinded U.S. citizenship,` then and only then can the American
reclaim his/her` sovereignty and repatriate into the united states of America`
under the Law of Nations.
There are many
patriots who are unwilling to recognize` these basic facts or to take any
effective action regarding` their impaired status. They turn a blind eye and
deaf ear to` the legal necessity of cleaning up their impaired status as`
essential to the restoration of a de jure constitutional` republic. Unless
Americans wake up and reclaim their` sovereignty, they do not have the legal
standing to selfgovern` themselves.
U.S. citizens are
an impaired status of individual who has in` fact contracted with a de facto
government for government` services. U.S. citizens have volunteered into the
present` system through ignorance, fear and the overriding need for` false
“security.”
You cannot complain
about bad government if you are` unwilling to take the steps necessary for
reclaiming your` sovereignty.
You must revoke,
rescind or rebut these adhesion contracts` by formal declaration and give
notice and grace to the government corporation. Or you must eliminate the`
presumption of your signature and seal on those contracts.
Most patriots know
just enough information to be` dangerous to themselves. Superficial or
incomplete actions` can be dangerous.
They take a
seminar, read a book and are raring to go out` and cause themselves trouble. To
alleviate this danger, one` must have all the pieces of the puzzle in place,
and you must` educate yourself comprehensively.
There are many
Americans who simply want to stop paying` income taxes or join a militia, yet
they want to continue in` their impaired status as U.S. citizens. Sovereignty
doesn’t` work that way.
Many Americans are
jumping on the patriot bandwagon` without having laid the foundations for their
own freedom` by securing the unalienable right to self-govern. Either` you’re a
sovereign, or you’re a subject. You cannot be halfpregnant,` or half-sovereign.
Either you are or
you aren’t. The choice is yours!`
Immigration and Naturalization in the` sovereign state and Jural
Societies`
Since the fifties,
when immigrants have come to the united` states of America and sought freedom,
opportunity and` “Citizenship,” they have been naturalized almost exclusively`
and directly into U.S. citizenship via the federal United` States and the
Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS).
Prior to that, one
could naturalize directly into one of the` several sovereign states of Union.
Today, the state district or` superior courts still have the judicial power to
naturalize` Citizens directly into the state, although this power has not` been
exercised since the bankruptcies.
The power to
naturalize, by virtue of the Act of Congress of` 1802, is a judicial one, and
the Congress has no power to` confer jurisdiction upon the courts of a state.
"The provision
of the Constitution of the United States` which gives Congress the power to
establish a uniform rule` of naturalization, is construed to mean that the rule
when` established shall be executed by the States.
Under the Act of
Congress of 1802, every Court of Record in` any individual State, having Common
law jurisdiction and a` seal, and clerk or prothonotary, shall be considered as
a` District Court within the meaning of this Act, and such` Courts shall have
the power to naturalize.
The Legislature of
California has by express enactment,` conferred jurisdiction on the District
courts of this State to` grant naturalization, according to the rules
established by` Congress.
All other courts of this State, being courts of` inferior and
limited powers, and although some` are Courts of Record, yet having only
statutory,` and not Common law jurisdiction,` they have no power to grant`
naturalization, and any attempt of the kind by` them would be coram non judice,
and void.”
— Ex Parte Frank Knowles 44` Besides restoring the power to naturalize Citizens directly` into
the sovereign states, We the People can organize jural` societies,
constitutional Common law courts and grand` juries to bring forth indictments
against public officials who` are blatantly and consistently violating the
spirit of, and the` letter of, the law of the land.
“Federal statutes provide causes of action` for parties injured
by individual deprivations` of any rights or privileges` of citizens of the
United States.”
— 42 U.S.C., Section 1983 (1985(3))`
Jural
Societies`
A jural society is
used in Blacks Law Dictionary to define a` “Citizen.” A “Citizen” is defined as
“a member of a free city` or jural society.
Jural is synonymous
with the definition of a “state,” or an` organized political community. A
citizen without a state or` organized political community is described as a
“stateless` person” thus subject to international law.
We the People who
founded this nation secured to` themselves the right of popular assembly to
preserve their` traditionally vested rights and customs through the 1st, 9th`
and 10th Amendments secured by the federal and state` constitutions.
JURAL SOCIETY
= CITIZEN = STATE`
We the People are
legally and politically in the united states` of America as sovereign “state”
Citizens organized as a jural` society.
U.S. citizens and
foreigners are here commercially through` the 14th Amendment and subject to government
regulation` and the civil rights acts. Persons or residents organized for`
commercial purposes cannot be a state as defined by` international law.
Organizing jural
societies in each of the sovereign states` provides recognition to those
sovereign “state” Citizens who` choose to reclaim their sovereignty and rights.
The jural society
is a forum for the sovereign voice of We the` People and the basis for creating
new sovereign “states.”45`

Naturalization
Via Common Law Marriage`
There are a lot of
theories about immigration and` naturalization, and who can become an American.
Foreigners who have
immigrated and naturalized as federal` “U.S. citizens” are citizens of the
United States, and also` Citizens of the state in which they are domiciled — if
they` exercise that right.
For example, Puerto
Ricans and District of Columbia` citizens born or naturalized in any U.S.
territory can exercise` their sovereignty in any of the forty-eight states by
claiming` a domicile there (excepting Alaska and Hawai’i which are` not
sovereign states of the Union).
True, they cannot
claim their sovereignty “residing” in any` U.S. territory or federal zone
(neither can American-born` U.S. citizens), although they could be an American
National` living in any U.S. territory if domiciled in any of the fortyeight`
states.
If the foreigner
born in another country (besides the united` states of America) has NOT
completed the immigration or` naturalization process as citizens of the United
States and` are “residing” in the United States as a “resident alien” with` a
green card, they cannot be a sovereign “state” Citizen` unless or until:` 1.
complete immigration and naturalization into the` federal United States as
citizens of the United States.
2. immigrate and
naturalize via a Common law marriage` to an American, sovereign “state”
Citizen.
3. immigrate and
naturalize directly into sovereign` “state” Citizenship via a Superior court,
or` 4. immigrate and naturalize via a properly consummated` Constitutional
Common law Court before a jury of` peers.
If a foreign
citizen immigrates into U.S. citizenship and` marries an American Citizen, the
claim to sovereignty as an` individual is transferred by marriage. A couple
married by` certificate, not by license, for 7 years would establish a`
domicile under the Common law if not challenged.
Given notice and
grace without objection would set the stage` for American Citizenship to follow
if declared before a` Common law jury of peers.
By law, there is no
federal citizenship, but there is a` Common law process for foreigners to
achieve naturalization` into American Citizenship. It just hasn't been
formally` recognized for generations, nor have the Superior courts` been
operating at-law since 1944. There is also evidence of` state-issued passports
prior to WWII.
This raises the
sensitive issue of deportation for foreigners.
Massive immigration
flooding the American borders is a hot` political issue as it has made the
American Citizen,` especially the sovereign “state” Citizen, a minority in
his/her` own country.
For some twisted
reason, new immigrants expect lots of` benefits streaming in from the State and
federal government` paid for by the dwindling working classes, without even`
having a clue what being an American in a free-enterprise` country is really
about.
It has served the
federal United States government` corporation well to flood the country with
immigrants, legal` or illegal, as it thoroughly destabilizes the American
system` and further destroys the sovereignty of its Citizenry.
Will the
foreign-born immigrant educate themselves about` the nature of freedom and what
made America great? It was` NOT the welfare-state mentality or benefits
streaming in` from government that made America great, but building a` life
here on the skills, talents and hard work of its Citizenry?
That these Common
law processes of immigration and` naturalization will meet with resistance from
the federal` government is almost assured. They do not want anybody` reclaiming
their sovereignty in America.
That there might be
grounds for deportation for a foreigner` who chose to exercise these rights is likely.
But is not the
price of freedom worth the effort and the` sweat necessary to pave the way for
others to follow. If you` want the easy life, a life without change or
resistance, then` stay where you are.
Becoming a
sovereign “state” Citizen of this great country` whether foreign or
American-born is a great undertaking.
“The first requirement for state Citizenship for` purposes of
establishing diversity jurisdiction... is` United States citizenship. A person who
is not a` citizen of the United States cannot be a Citizen of a` state for
diversity purposes. Similarly, a United` States citizen who is domiciled in a
foreign country` is not a ‘Citizen of a state,’ and may not invoke` federal
diversity jurisdiction.”
— Title 28 U.S.C. §1332 48`
Declaring Your Citizenship`
Education is the
first step on the long road home to` becoming an American National, sovereign
“state” Citizen or` sui juris freeman/woman.
The word “citizen”
means “subject of” and the word “State”
means “sovereign power.” Although the term “state” Citizen` appears
to be an oxymoron, it actually means quite the` opposite of the above
definition due to the shift in` capitalization of the two words.
In a constitutional
republic, the “state” is created by its “Citizens” who are the sovereign powers. As a “Jural
Society,” the` “state” was created for the express purpose of serving and`
protecting the sovereignty of its “state” Citizens who are not` “residents,”
corporate “persons,” nor individuals effectively` connected with any corporate
political organization. As` such, a state Citizen is a sovereign entity
recognized by law` as outside the jurisdiction of statutes, public policy and
political` codes.49`
A sui juris freeman/woman is a
natural-born human being` without Citizenship, residency, date of birth,
address, or any` other adhesion contract with the government.
Being free of ALL
legal disability, a sui juris freeman/woman` acts with inherent, non-merchant
rights as a freeman/woman,` the legal definition of which is a non-immigrant,
nonresident` alien. It is improper for a freeman/woman to speak` of having
constitutional rights.50` Today, it requires
immense courage, total responsibility,` administrative and legal challenges,
and an organized,` lawful “revolution” of millions of Americans to make the`
necessary changes to the political, economic and legal` system.
Herein lies an
opportunity to alter the course of history, to` move away from the totalitarian
New World Order toward` new social, economic and political organizations
created` with liberty and justice for all, based on sovereignty for all` the
people of the world. This is what the founding fathers` and mothers had in mind
for America.
When enough
thoughtful, considerate American Citizens` take charge, become sovereign
“state” Citizens and take back` their government, a true constitutional
republic of We the` People can once again unfold for all the people this time`
around.
Liberty begins with
a commitment to lifelong education` about the law, procedures and lawful means
of presenting` oneself.
Liberty means being
committed to personal, social and` environmental responsibility for the
well-being of the entire` human community. Sovereign “state” Citizenship
doesn’t` imply a return to the rampant individualism, anarchy and` lawlessness
of our past.
We cannot go back
two hundred years, nor are we proposing` a return to the days of the wild, wild
west. We cannot return` to the days of exclusively white male property owners,
to the` days when blacks, indigenous American people and women` were deprived
of their sovereignty and civil rights. Either` we’re all going to be
sovereigns, or we’re all going to be` slaves in the next millennium.
What you will gain
by reclaiming your sovereignty — perhaps` your liberty, property and personal
responsibility? What will` you lose — perhaps your chains and comfortable`
complacency? When will you take the necessary steps and` reclaim your
sovereignty?
Every individual
begins as an entity unto himself or herself,` sovereign and free. Combined with
other sovereign and` responsible individuals, then and only then do lawful`
nations arise.
We the People must
join together through lawful,` constitutional ends and means to create
self-government by` mutual consent. We can network new social, economic and`
political organizations without creating a large, centralized,` totalitarian
world government. We can create quite “another` world order.”
You must know who
you are and declare it! Only you can` determine your Citizenship, not the
government, not` anybody else. Sovereignty is not for everyone. Sovereignty is`
for leaders and visionaries, activists and pioneers, healers` and teachers,
innovators, men and women of courage, and` true patriots who love a country
crafted by their own hand.
Sovereignty must
begin in the heart and soul of a human` being and move forth from there. If you
have established` your sovereignty there, then the rest will follow.
If you have not
established your sovereignty in your own` heart and soul, all the paperwork in
the world will do you no` good. There is no form you can fill out that makes
you a` sovereign individual.
It takes a lifetime
of commitment, years of sincere study and` effort to complete the initial
administrative paperwork to` ground sovereignty sincerely in your heart and
soul. You will` not the see the world quite the same, once you realize you` are
the source of power and responsibility. The journey of a` thousand miles starts
with a single step.
